KECA1LED BY TALK OF COMETS PablUaed In Morals Paper as Ca blegram and Qalcklr Called by . Afternoon. Rival, Jnit as la Present Day. The present Is not tlie only day In which fake evening paper have stolen moat of their matter from morning contemporaries, as appeareth anon: LONDON, April 3, 1SW. In response to a request telegraphed to Prof. Gould on Sat uday by Sir John Bishop of the Royal ob servatory, the following; cablegram was re ceived yesterday: CORDOVA. Argentine Republic, March SO. To Hla Eaaeliency John Bishop, F. R. A. 8., Oreenwloh, Kngland, Honored Sir: Youra of the t7th Inat. received. The comet, when first discovered, a little over three months ago, was In latitude 60 degrees 20 minute south and longitude 30 degrees 16 minutes west, moving with the usual cel erity common to such bodlea. About sixty days ago, from some cause wholly unknown to astronomical science, this fiery wanderer quickened Its pace and has been traveling at an unprecedented rate o( speed slnc that time. It Is now almost directly west of us. at a true alti tude of 40 degrees. Its course since first observation has been direct north, follow ing within 7 degreea of the 42d meridian (Washington reckoning). The only cause I can pretend to give for this sudden Im petus of the comet Is that It In In its aphelion phase, or lower apis, and that an eccentric and unaccountable deviation WE LIKE TO SHOW our CLOTHES BECAUSE we have 6et out to win the traae of men who demand the very best In ready-to-wear garments, and we know that if we can Induce you to look at our clothes, you will quickly be convinced that extraordinary . value Is the keynote of our bus iness.

From a comparison of my notes taken at the time of first observation with those taken Saturday night, and deductions ar rived at from careful and anxious calcula tions made during the last two months at this observatory, I have arrived at tne startling and seemingly impossible conclu sion that if this body continues In Its pres ent course and inclination, which I see nothing to prevent, it will come In contact with the continent of North America In the course of a year, at or near longitude 42 degrees and latitude 88 north (Washing ton reckoning). This phenomenon is different from any of which there is any record. In the respect that the nucleus presents a dark dlso, this Indicating the presence of matter, while th ravfiniw nr tall. Is Increasing In bril liancy, which leads me to believe that the comet Is being consumed by spontaneous heat, and nlso accounts for its utter disre gard for the laws of natural repulsion. The else and appearance of this body Is that of a comet, but Its movement is that of a huge meteorite. You ask for a minute description of this heavenly castabout, and pardon me If I have gone Into unnecessary details. I tele graphed Prof. White of Washington, United Htnt armv. that the comet will be visible in the northern zodiac about the middle of July. Prof. Strohm of the observatory at Buenos Ayres made observations and cal culations that in the main correspond with mine although his theory as to the cause or the darkened dlso is diriereni. Yours, etc.. FERDINAND R. GOULD, Director National Observatory, Cordova, Argentine Republic, South America. Omaha Has Comet of Its Own. Once upon a time Omaha had a comet all Its very own. Probably not ten men In the city now recall it, even if they ever were' aware of the fact, tor fact it certainly Is. It was acquired exactly thirty years ago Sunday morning, its coming being heralded by the London dispatch divulging the con tents of Prof. Gould's reply to the cabled inquiry of Sir John Bishop, F. R. A. S., etc. It Is true the comet never materialised, due, doubtless, to another "eccentrlo and unaccountable deviation" back to Its orbit, unless, perchance, the "dark disc" that formed its head was completely consumed by "spontaneous heat," and, In the lan guage of the plans, nature "let the tall go with the hide." Be that aa it may, the heavenly ap parition never made connection with the continent of North America In latitude of 3S degrees north, longitude 42 west which would have been somewhere In the vicinity of Nebraska City nor in any other vital spot of Mother Garth, though the shadow of the predicted collision gave Omaha the cold shivers for many, many months. Omaha was yet in its swaddling clothes when the "Haynes comet" was announced. It claimed no more than 16,000 population, and had probably much less, but It was already the "Gate City" and the way the "1S.000, count 'era, 16.000." shook In their coata throughout the spring and summer of lS-sO all but tore the gate off its hinges. The, Bee Published Cable. The London-Cordova cablegram was printed In The Bee on Saturday morning, April 3, and conscientiously stolen and du plicated In a rival evening paper, so that on the following day, being Sunday, It was known and discussed from center to cir cumference, that Its to Bay, from Dan Allrn's" to Twentieth snd Military road; to the hasel patch at the head of St. Mary's avenue, and to Bohemian hall on South Thirteenth street. There was per fect unanimity of opinion. Prof. Gould had aald the comet would strike down In the corner near Nebraska City, and It would strike! It would as certainly tear up the earth some, and the scene of the ruction was unpletsantly adjacent to Omaha. So Intense waa the alarm and anxiety created by the unlucky Haynes comet that the pastors of practically every church -in the rlty went to some pains to allay the feara of their congregations, and as their sermons were pretty fully covered one of the papers the one that had stolen the news the tone of the apprehension market became decidedly easier. Those who con tributed powerfully to this result, end Drug Co. their names may be written In letters of gold, were among others, the following pastors: Rev. W. B. Copeland of the Unitarian church, Rev. iW, J. HarSha of the First Presbyterian, ,Rev. J. B. Max-' field of the First Methodist, Rev. A. L. Sherrill of the First Congregational, Rev. B. H. B. Jameson of the First Baptist, Rev. W. K. Beans of the. eighteenth Street Methodist and Rev. J. C, Evans of the United Presbyterian, then tersely de scribed as the "U. P." the "U. P." being In those days the only reliable trade-mark in Omaha. Rev. Mr. Copeland was In some ressjects the most remarkable Omaha churchman of that day. Mr. Copeland was one of the first to handle the subject, and he did so In a! masterly manner. He delivered his famous "comet sermon" exactly one week after the publication of the Cordova astronlsher. Patrick O. Hawes, police Judge of the city of Omaha, sat tilted back in his cane seated chair, in the dusky and dusty court room tn the decrepit and disreputable old city hall that was evolved from the wreck of the once proud Patee Opera house, Seventeenth and Farnam streets. It was Monday morning and Officer Houck had not yet brought "the gang" across frorr the city bastlle. The newspaper man who had stolen Th Bee's: thunder and, not a little frightened himself at the dire predictions of Prof. Gould wss expiating tils crime by handing out the pulpit consolation to a terrified public through the medium of the press, stood in the august presence. His report of the last "comet sermon," in the morn ing paperj was In the hands of the Hon. Patrick O. Hawes. "You great chump!" he roared. "Ain't yov ever going to get your eyes open?" "What do you mean?" with offended dignity, quoth the reporter. ' "Why, don't you know that's the great est hoax ever perpetrated on this com munity?" And then and there tie exploded the Haynes' comet. "Dos" Haynes, later to become a theat rical manager and advance man of note, was then holding cases on the night side of The Bee. He occasionally "scribbled" a few lines for his own amusement, when copy didn't come up fast enough. On the night of April 1 he found time hanging heavily on his hands and evolved the Gould-Bishop fiction, which was good enough for the morning edition and re' celved apparent confirmation by appearing also In the evening rival of The Bee. It never went further than Into the pages of a few state papers, and a waiting and weary world patiently wondered what all that agony Omaha was suffering was about and how It would end. . . ' I Frank W. Bandle Not in Danger Belapie Reported, but Attending ' Physician Sayi Rumor is Exaggerated. "Mr. Handles temperature was slightly higher. Thursday night and Friday, but there la no cause for general alarm," de clared Dr. O. B. Hoffman, whose patient, the county reeorder of deeds, is at Wise Memorial hospital. It waa reported at the court house Friday that Mr. Bandle, whose case has been sup posed to be progressing favorably, had taken a sudden and alarming turn for the worse, hut the attending physician de clares that Mr. Bandle Is In no great danger.

For sals by Beaton PAIR GO OFF CITY PAY ROLL Health Commissioner Connell Fails to List Veterinarian Young-. CLAIMS HE HAS NOT REPORTED Salary of Sam Rothwell, Garbage In spector, Is Cat Off Pay Roll on ' Ground He Waa Allowed Too Much. A slight arcrlmonlous discussion oc cured Friday morning at the meeting of the city . council to pass the pay rolls. Chairman Funkhouser of the finance committee discovered that Health Com missioner Connell had left oft his pay roll the name of Dr. G. M Toung, dairy Inspector and veterinarian, and that he had placed thereon the name of Samuel Rothwell for twenty-one days. Dr. Connell was called in to explain. He said Dr. Toung had not been putting In an appearance at the health office for the past month and had made no re port as to whether he was working or not; therefore he had not placed his name on the pay-roll. Considerable discussion ensued concern ing the disagreement between the health commissioner and his veterinarian, but It was finally decided to ask Dr. Toung to appear before the committee of the whole next Monday afternoon. Concerning the Rothwell case, Council man Brucker took the position that as Rothwell had only been confirmed a week his pay should be for t.nly eight days. Dr. Connell said that there waa need for the appointment of a man to watch the work of the garbage contractors and to serve notices on householders to have garbage, ashes and refuse removed, and he had put Rothwell on when the need arose. "Tou have no right to do a thing like that without notifying this council," said Brucker, "I have the right," said Dr. Connell, "when an emergency exists, and the ap pointment was made to take care of an Important part of our work." Ptndlng further Investigation, Rothwell's name was stricken from the pay-roll. This ca.ee will also be settled next Mondny OmahaY.W.C.A. Next to Largest in the World Takes Rank Next to Los Angeles with 3,787 Uembers as Result of Campaign. Omaha's Toung Women's Christian as sociation Is second largest In the world. Its ambition to be the largest in this coun try was not realised, but nearly 2,000 mem bers were scqulred by Wednesday's cam paign, raising Its numbers to 3,77. Los Angeles' association alone Is larger, It having a membership of 6,600. It Is tho largest organization of Its kind In the world and the Omaha association now ranks second. The women worked hard for this In crease and the definite result was not known until late last night. It was not until this morning, however, that It was realised where the local stands among the world's organizations.

The spring burglar continued his engage ment Thursday, visiting the clothing store of J. Friedman, S22 North Sixteenth street, and the saloon of Emll Hanson, Thirteenth and Chicago streets. From the former place the proprietor says he took this list of goods: Five hundred dollars worth of women's clothing, including: Twenty-five silk underskirts. Fifteen dress skirts. Twenty suits. Three lace coats. One blue polkadot dress. They took cigars and liquor to the amount of 12S and (5 In cash from Colonel Hanson's emporium, but overlooked a t20 gold piece that lay within their reach.
