QUESTION ABOUT , THE TAIL
Const Crossed Sun Sun Spots and
What Causes Them Celestial Lum
inary Can Now "be Seen in the
Western Sky After. Sunset. -
Washington, Special. The weather
delayed the first-evening view of the
comet in Washington. ' ' ,
Should the sky become clear, how
ever, it will be - possible to see the
streamer at 8 :20 to the best advan
tage. " I. ;
Sunset comes about 7 :10, and. twi
light ends a little more than an hour
thereafter. As to future visions of
the comet, its similarity to the sun's
corona may be apparent. Prof.
George Peters, the sun-spot spec
ialist at the Naval Observatory, said
that in his view the two phenomena
might be - regarded asj of like 'clasa.
In this view both' the ..comet and
the - sun rays are expelled and are
T 1 1 i J 1-1
Composed partly, ox aiuuis auu uarw y
of the disrupted ions which,' as sys
tems of ' a thousand to . hundreds of
thousands, constitute the various ele
mental "atoms" of the older, books
These strOims, both those pouring
through the holes,, which constitute
sun spots, and those radiating from
the comet head, produce electrical and
magnetic effects on striking the
earth's atmosphere, because the ions
carry electrical charges. -
Definite information about the
earth's passage through the streamer
-will hardly be available for some
days. It passed through 4 the tail of
a comet in 1861 without the fact' be
ing known for some : time, and then
.only from " calculations, based on ob
served positions before . and after the
5 passage." t. ..
, Chicago, msp
Barnard, at ,aerkes Observatory, says
that a comet spectrum secured , Fri
day night is continuous and prob
ablv from reflected rays of 'the sun.
No cyanogen gas was shown, but there
were traces ' of carbon monoxyde, hy
drocarbon, dioxygen, and sodium. He
found it impossible to give any opin
ion regarding: solid matter in the
nucleus. . v .
London, By Cable. A dispatch
from Mahe, one of the Seychelle Is
lands, in the Indian-Ocean, says that
Halley's comet has been a magnifi-:
cent si;ht there for many nights
The tail-at 4 o'clock in the morning
cf May 17 -was fully 90 degrees long
The nucleus was below the horizon
Part of the tail was visible on the
following morning, but it was much
fainter, and at 4 :30 Friday morning
'it was barely discernable. No phe
nomena were observable.
Baltimore, Special. At 4 o'clock
Friday morning a ball of light, not
unlike a gigantic searchlight; was seen
to span the firmament from northwest
to southeast, Dr. John A. Anderson,
of the Johns Hopkins University,
stated that this phenomenon was con
clusive evidence that the tail of Hal-
ley's comet was curved and that the
earth did not pass throu2h,,it.
"The phenomenon was undoubtedly
; observed," said Dr. ' Anqeyson, - and
its presence at 4 a. m., seems io me
to mean that the tail of ' the comet
has about 2,000,000 miles of curva
ture, and that consequently the earth
- missed it altogether." -
Providence, R; L, Special. Prof.
Winslow Upton of Brown University,
s does not concur wholly with some
other astronomers in the belief that
the earth missed the tail of .Halley 's
omet and did not undergo the plunge
through the million miles of ' ' star
dust," but thinks 'that the world id
fca-ke the passage duringithe daylight
hours Thursday. y , '
"We are pretty certain that .the
eart h was swept by the tail of Hal
. ley 's comet Thursday during day
light,' ' he' said, ' because - we picked
up the tail before daylight Thursday
horning in the East." J

ing events of the great Virginia-Caror
Unas Georgia' Fair Circuit is just is
sued and it will be noted with en
thusiasm that the management of the
North Carolina State Fair at Raleigh
hangs out the most attractive purses
offered that city. , J v.
In " Raleigh the dates are October
17-22, and the stake purses amount
to $2,100, there being, four purses,
there being offered a purse of $1,000
for the Big Thursday of Fair Week,
besides this the other purses being
two of $51)0 and one ot $1UU.
In this record Raleigh takes the
lead as it is the onlv member, of the
circuit that breaks all precedents and
puts up a thousand dollar purse as its
banner event, the largest amout pre
viously offered on the circuit being a
$500 prize. - ,
The Virginia-Carolinas-Georgia Cir.
cuit hangs but this season $20,000 in
Stake Races, $30,000 in Class Races,
and $20,000 in Running Races, about
$70,000 total. It is certain that the

thing , previously seen on the track of
the N. C. Agricultural Society.
Methodist Conference Closes.
Asheville, Special. The sixteenth
quadrennial session of the General
Conference of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, South, came to a close
Saturday. ' v

tion of an assessment for an endow
ment fund for -wornout preachers
Was again-taken up and by vote of the
conference lost. The salary .of the
secretary of the board of education
was raised to $3,600. The report of
the committee on the statment - of
faith for worldwide Methodisnr show
ed that their .work failed on account
of another Church - declining ' to cgk
operate in the effort'' -&-
By far" the most confusion sinee
the conference opened was created by
the discussion as to. whether the, in
ference strike out ,the words " the
Holy Catholic Church " in the creed
and substitute, the words "Church of
God." The session adjourned with
out the question being settled.
. An appropriation- of $12,000 was
voted for the Pacific Methodist Ad
vocate for the next .four years.
The last measure adopted by the
conference before adjourning sine die
was the adopting of a report that a
committee" of five be appointed to co
operate with the national committee
on uniform divorce law. -
Remarkable and Mysterious Man.
Asheville, Special. After standing
unclaimed for over seven " years in
embalmed solitude, dressed in full
evening dress, with silk hat and' cane,

celles, alias ' ' Lord Douglas, ' ' . alias

T. Summerfield of New Jersey who
said that she was the sister-mvlaw
of the" deceased first wife, now living
at Baltimore. She made affidavit to
that effect and by her . order the
mummy, was shipped to Washington.
. Great mystery shrouds the, life and
career of this bogus Lord. It is
said that he had sixteen living: wives.
In Georsria he served a loner tenitenti
muT ,
ary term for bigamy. He was a noted
forger and swindler, and operated
among the - wealthy class in several
Southern states. . He went to Ashe
ville from - Texas. He - married an
Asheville lady several years ago, who
disappeared, completely after he de
serted her. She- has not been heart
of ; since. ' Mystery surrounds thoi
who were behind the removal of his
body. Their identity i3 a secret. In
the letters to the undertaker through
her. sister-in-law, Mrs. Summerfield,
wife No. I, speaks endearingly of the
great Lothario.- She writes, "He had
the voice of a Parsifal and the elo
quence and charm of a Disraeli, and
his influence over women was won
derful.!' Newspaper Job For Kerby. U
