LOOK OUT FOR IT
Bailey's Comet Will Begin Sweepof the
Sky on the First of April
WHEN IT CAN BE SEEN
In flu* Morttiii" llr:i\ CMl< A llOiUl
of the Sun, but Later it W ill Pass
to tin4 WVslciii Heavens and l?e
Seen for Several Weeks There Hefore
Moving <)n Into Spare.
Now that Halley's cone t is rapidly
approaching the earth an 1 is soon
to become an object of great popular
interest, the public will desire to
know the leading facts conic-ning
this fumout celestial visitor, and to
learn something of its eventful h'rtory.
In just what part of the heavens
it is at present, when and where
it may be seen best, when it will be
nearest the earth, and what d inger
if any, is there of a collision with
our globe, are some of the questions
that arc naturally asked.
The comet is at present in tlm constellation
Pisces, about half way
from the zenith down to the western
horizon at dark, and about S
degrees west of the planet Saturn.
It is not yet visible to the naked eye,
and as it is approaching the sum,
it will soon be lost in his rays till
about April 1, when it will reappear
in the morning sky ahead of the
sun. On March 21 it will be on the
nnnnsttr. aide of the sun fro i lis,
and on April 20 it will pass its perihelion
at a distance of 5-1,000,000
miles from the sun.
From that time till May 15 it will
be a glorious spectacle in the morning
heavens. On May IS it will pass
directly between the earth and the
sun, when it wlii be only 12,000,000
miles from us. As it sweeps ra.vdiy
from the morning to the evening skv
again, and after a few weeks it will
bid us adieu for its long journey into
the depths of space, not to return to
us again in three-fourths of a century.
As it rushes by us on May ISth
it will pass directly over the disc of
the sun, and a line opportunity will
be afforded to test by ol rei vntion
the size and character of the nucleus.
If it consists of solid particles
of considerable stz,:? or of denseaggregation,
it will bo projected as a
dark mass against t h 3 bright face of
the sun, but if it Is compose 1 of gas
only, or of very smai: particles, widely
diffused, it will pass across tne
sun as an invisible mass.
It is not improbi ^ o that the earth
at that time may be:-me involved in
the nebulosity of its tail, but the
matter composing the tail is so extremely
tenuous 'hit the earth will
in all probability pass through it
without any Bens'.a'..? effect. The
transit of the comet acoss the face
of the sun will tak-a place during
the night on the western hemisphere,
and hence we could nor. see it any
way, but astronomers on the opposite
side of the earth will doubtless
abscrve this phenomenon with
great care.
The orbit of Tlalley's comV is a
very elongated ellipse, extendi ig cut
into space 500,000,000 miles beyond
the orbit of Neptune. At its
perihelion its distance from the sun
Is 54,000,000 miles, or somewhat
less than the distance of the planet
Venus. It makes a revolution around
the sun in about 75 years, though
owing to the disturbing effect of the
larger planets on its motion, this
period may vary one or two years.
Its motion in its orbit is retrograde;
that is, it moves around the
sun in an opposite direction to that
of the planets. Its orbit is inclined
about 18 degrees to the plane of the
earth's orbit, and these orbits are
so related that a collision between
the earth and the comet is impossible.
Halle.v's comet received its name
from Edmund 14alley, a distinguished
English astronomer, who observed
it in 1G82 and who predicted its
return lr. 1759. His prediction was
based upon the fact that its orbit in
1G82 was nearly identical with that
of 1007 and 1531. He also found
in history references to remarkable
comets in 1 456, 13 01 and 10G6. As
the interval between the returns of
these comets was about 7.") years, he
concluded that tlioy were one and
the same body, and this conclusion
proved to be correct.
The history of IIalley's comet, a?
it has been traced back through th<
ages by its period of 7.7 years, i!
finite eventful. In 10GG is was re
garded as the forerunner of the vie
tory of William of Normandy. It*
size then was equal to that of tin
full m'oon. In 14.7G its tail reachec
from the horizon to the zenith, am
the wildest excitement prevailed.
Indeed, at every return of this re
markable comet the nations of tin
earth have looked upon it with awe
Its first recorded appoanencfe waf
130 II. C., when it was supposed t<
herald the birth of Mlthridates.
g& At this return the conditions wi'
he very favorable for a magniflreni
view of tliis historical celestial vlsi
| tor, and the Impressions made upot
the minds of thoso who behold It wi?!
ii ITTil remain throughout life.

Dromoters of a Washington Banquet
Accused hy Indiana Democrats of
Trying to Do This,
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says as a
counter agitation to that which actuates
the "amity" feast, which a
number of Democrats of prominence
in the District of Columbia are arranging
for Jefferson Day, to lie giv
011 ill Washington, a banquet is sclmd
iiloded for tlio same date and timoj
at Indianapolis. Arrangements for
the Indiana attraction are well tinder
way, and so far Governor Marshall,
of that State, and former Governor
lloke Smith have been listed to appear
among the chief speakers.
The local dinner was intended to
include the national Democracy an '
incidentally a gathering of Democratic
Presidential possibilities. The Indianapolis
affair is a bolt out of what
otherwise seemed to be a clear sky.
It is learned that prominent Indian \
Democrats are dissatisfied with the
sanction given by Norman 10. Mack,
chairman of the national commitD ?,
to the Washington dinner. 'I hose
Democrats assert that the dinner is
a scheme of the "conservatists ' or
"reactionari s" to capture the organization
from Pryan and his !Pu:i limits.
It is to offset this move that
the Indianapolis dinner is to be given.
One of tho moving spirits in the
counter demonstration in John M.
Kern, the recent candidate for vicePresident.
It is lie who is gathering
in the speakers, big and medium,
from different sections of the country.
It is also probable that wh 11
the dinner does come off Mr. Kern
will be responsible for some pertinent.
oratory himself.
In a recent interview the former
vice-Presidential candidate predicted
a complete reorganization of political
parties in the near future,
forcasting a situation in which the
Pryan partisans would gather under
tho banner of Sonalnr ? Pn 111 111 i 11 o I
and Lafollette, and Domocrats of the
variety of Senators Bailey and Daniel
would become co-workers of Senator
Aldrich and Speaker Cannon.
Inquiries among the Democratic
members of the Indiana delegation
at the Capitol brought forth the relily
that none of them were lining
up on either side. "The fact of the |
matter is." remarked one of the Representatives,
"we are not exhibiting
any great interest in either dinner
at this time."
SUICIDE AT COLUMBIA.
Young Man Kills llinisei' in House

Leaving-a note sa/:.'<g: "1 love a

would rather be doa 1 tlrxn alive," .T
\V Padgett, Jr., Wednesday afternoon
committed suicide in a house
of ill-fame in Columbia. Padgett entered
a room in this house about 1 !
o'clock in the morning and when a
woman entered the room in the afternoon,
he was strangling and gasping
for breath.
Physicians were summoned but it
was too late to save the life that
was almost gone. Using opium and
morphine, and a half-pint of one star
whiskey, the dose taken was enough
to kill, and in spite of the efforts
of two physicians Padgett died about
5:30 o'clock.
"The Spanish Girl" referred to in
the note left, is an inmate of the
house. Padgett was 2"? years of age,
and lives at Lykesland, nine miles

THEIR EXILE ENDED

Thomas, a Commissioner.
The Modoc Indians In Oklahoma
are going home?not to the lava
beds in California, whence they were
taken to the Quapaw Indian reservation
nearly forty years ago, but to
the Klamath reservation of tli
Modocs in Oregon, where they will i
get lands in exchange for their allotments
in Oklahoma. It is a peeularity
of the .Modoc that ho desires
to die on the spot where he
was born. The Modocs' have been i
homesick ever since they went to
Oklahoma, and their return to the
northwest is the result of their constant
appeal to the authorities at
Washington.
The removal of the Modocs to Oklahoma
followed their defeat after
their bloody campaign against government
troops in the lava beds,
where they were commanded by Cap.
tain Jack. They assassinated and
butchered all but two of the peact
commission sent to them by the secretary
of. war. When the Modocs
reached Oklahoma there were 3!> '
men, r> 1 women and (10 children, j 1
many of whom were sorely wounded. |
Among them were such notable M
leaders as Scarfaccd Charley, Steamboat
Frank and Shacknasty Jim. M
Their arrival in Baxter Springs >s j 1

and disease have cut. down the Mo- 1
docs until only sixty remain. Nearly :
all their old leaders have died. 1

(hose Modocs will ho among the Klamath
Modocs, whom thoy thorough- ly
hate and despise because of the
arroganaoo of the Klamath hand.
The Oklahoma Modocs wore moved
from California to Oregon, only to
have their Oregon kinsmen say to
them:
"You can stay here, hut it is our
country. Your horses can eat the
grass, but it is our grass. You can
catch fish, but they are our fish."
This was more than Captain Jack
and his people could hear, and they
stole away and returned to'their old
j haunts in California. When the federal
government tried to make them
go hack to Oregon the Modocs began
fighting, and sought refuge in
the inaccessible lava beds. The commission
established camp about two
miles from the retreat of the Modocs
in the lava beds and midway was
pitched a tent at which the council
should be held.
Xo sooner had the commissioners
assembled in the tent than they
found that death was at hand. Captain
Jack suddenly shot General Canby,
adviser of the commissioners.
Canby's throat was cut and his uniform
stolen . The Uev. Eleazer
Thomas, a commissioner, also was
slain and his body robbed and mutilated.
Two of the commissioners
escaped.
The United States government then
put a large body of troops in tlm
field and the Modocs were pursued
night and day, until they surrendered
October 2, 1872. Captain Jack,
Black Jim, Boston Charley, and Schronchin
Jim were banged at Fort
Klamath, Oregon, for the murder of
Canby and Thomas. Soon afterward
the California Modocs were

Upturned from Hospital and Killed
llis Assailant.
The robbing of the postofllce safe
at Ualcigh, X. C., in December, 1008,
led to tbe killing in New York on
Thursday of John Leonard, who h.'id i
been sentenced to the federal prison
fit Atlanta for a safe blowing joii.
Leonard's young wife obtained his
release from prison three months ago
on an alibi and they came to Brooklyn
and opened a boarding house.
Thomas Barnes, boarder, angered
Leonard two weeks ago by referring
to him as an ex-convict and Leonard
gave him such a thrashing that l e
was not able to leave the hospital
until Wednesday night. Barnes called
at the Leonard home early Thursday
morning and when Leonard appeared
at the door he shot him dead.
Should Be Punished.
During the recent race conference
in Columbia a colored man who
called himself Dr. J. S. Murray, of
Philadelphia, took part, and seemed
to have made a terrible mash on
some of the colored women who were
in attendance. Murray finally drifted
down to St. Matthews, where
ho married an intelligent, rospectai
bio young colored woman, whom he
robbed and deserted. Snob scoundrels
aR Murray deserve the severest
punishment. We hope ho will be
caught.
