the President Grant of the Ham
burg American Line for Ham
burg, Germany, thence to Karl
sruhe in Baden, where he will
make his future home.
Mr.. Sinauer came here from
Germany in 1865, and went into
the clothing business with his
brother, Bernard Sinauer, who
preceded him to this country.
Mr.. Sinauer shortly after this
time went to Denver, Colorado.
and spent two years. On his re-
/ turn his brother retired and re-
turned to his home in Germany,
and from that time Henry Sin
auer conducted a store where
fair dealing was the rule and
never the exception. Mr. Sinauer
hated sham and false pretense.
His infalliblc honesty was con
stitntional. and not under any
circumstances was he capable of
quibbling FOR any personal pref
erment or gain. He was natur-
ally retiring in his disposition,
but when occasion demanded he
could assert himself in no uncer-
tain manner.
Mr.. Sinauer's charities were
between himself and the
recipient. What he gave was
his business, and on too close an
inquiry he would promptly tell
you so.
He was a member Of several
fraternities, but his preference
was the masons. The present
! members of Lexington Lodge No

the remaining days of his lif'
amid scenes of his early boy
hood, surrounded by his onI!

Milky Way Beauties

The milky way or galaxy is an appar-
ent ring extending entirely around the
universe. says the National Magazine. 1t
is composed of suns in literal millions.
They are so remote that as seen from
the earth they appear to be close to
each other, while in reality they are
separated by millions and billions OF
miles.
To the eye. the belt of soft light looks
like a continuous band of cloth of pearl
but telescopes have the effect of bringing
objects nearer. This separates the filmy
cloud into many billions of glittering but
minute points on the black background of
space At distance forest trees seem
to be close together. but as they are APP
preached they separate and stand alone.
1t is next to impossible to describe the
matchless beauty of the milky way as
seen in a telescope of great power. Car-
pet large room with black velvet. Have
many electric lights in the ceiling. Throw
down and scatter all over the black floor
a bushel of minute diamonds, rubies.
pearls, sapphires, opals, amethysts and
other gems. Then turn on the light. You
would have faint imitation of the SUI
penal glories of the galatic hosts, for
the appalling depths of space look black
In our great telescope.
In places the suns look by perspective
as though they were arranged in piles
heaps and banks, or built up into colossal
windows or twisted into spirals, or
dashed into wisps and cosmic spray.
In some places the concentration is so
great and dense that only the most pow
erful telescopes on earth can magnify
enough 20 bring our details. A few clus-
ters exist tnat have not, so far, beeh re-
solved into these needle points. And the
height of human happiness Is to watch
these vast congeries of distant suns in
