Waco and Arkansas.

Every town has a right to pronounce
its name in it's own way, but Texans
never seemed to get together on the
pronunciation of the name Waco
Years ago Texas was represented by
two senators, one Of whom called the
town "Way-ke," whereas the other in
sisted it was "Wack-ko." The reading
clerks had a merry time II the word
were read one way the opposing sena
tor would make complaint. and vice
versa.
It recalls the time when Arkansas
was represented In the senate by Gar.
land and Walker. One insisted that
the state should be called Arkansas
just as it is spelled. The other always
insisted upon 'Arkansaw." John j.

the senate in those days. had the mat

Elm City Alert
| For The Wedding
Report That Astor Yacht Left
For New Haven Fails to
Produce q Clue

New Haven, Sept. 8-The receipt of
a report that the yacht Mona, of Col
John Jacob Astor had left New York,
having both the colonel and his fian-
Gee, Miss Madeline Force on board,
and that it was bound for some Con-
necticut port and probably New Ha-
ven, created a great deal of interest
and more or less excitement about the
center Of the city last night, and there
were a number Of local people on the
alert in the expectation that the cou-
pie might come to this city to be mar
ried. The reports were further to the
effect that it was expected that the
marriage might take place yesterday
or else today and that it was very
likely to be solemnized in Connecticut.
Despite the fact that a watch for
the arrival Of the yacht last night
in the harbor here was kept, no trace
of it could be found and it became
apparent that whether it sailed for
New Haven or not, it had not arrived
here. 1t was further learned that no
application has been made for any
marriage license thus far in this city
and it is presumed that this step
would probably have been taken be-
forehand So far as could be learned
there have been no arrangements made
in this vicinity for the carrying out
of the wedding plans.

Chief Cowles Plans
No Campaign Against
New Haven Saloons

New Haven, Sept. S-Chief Henry D.
Cowles, of the police department, stat
ed last night that he has no intention
of making any special campaign
againts saloons because of the recent
murder of Mrs. Mary Davis. 1.-The
police department has always acted
against any saloon where we found
that women were being allowed to
1oiter and we always will in the fu-
ture I have never stated, however,
that there would be any particular
campaign I think at the present time
we are exercising as strict a super
vision as we can and we will continue
as we have been to force the saloon
keepers to obey the law to the let
ter"
The chief said he had made no
statement that he would appoint a
special "vice squad" and repeat the
campaign of a couple of years ago.
81 must have been somewhat mis-
understood in my statement yester-
day., he said.
The recent murder case gave rise
to a report that the police would open
a special campaign against saloons of
this class where women are allowed

Meteors and the Atmosphere.

One Of the most useful results aris-
ing from the study of sporadic meteors
Is the light thrown upon the question
of the height of the atmosphere, since
it Is the friction of the air that sets
them on fire, and If their elevation is
known at the moment of their first APP
pearance the probable height Of the at
mosphere can be calculated. On Aug.
II, 1909, a brilliant meteor happened
to impress it's picture simultaneously
on three Photographic plates. at fash
kend, Islander and Tschimgan, In
Russian Turkestan. The distances be
tween these places furnished base lines
from which the height could be de-
duced- The calculation shows that the
meteor first appeared at height of
69.45 miles above the earth and disap-
peared at fifty miles.
