SCIENTISTS' TALK LABELEOJOT AIR Father Adams Says There Is No Danger from Gases of Halley's Comet. HE GIVES AN ILLUSTRATION

SAY3 THE COMET HAS APPEARED AT REGULAR INTERVALS FOR CENTURIES AND THE WORLD STILL GOES ON. Spokane, Wash., Feb. 28. "Forecasts by socalled scientists in various parts of the country that the gases in the tail of Halley's comet will presently poison mankind or cause other calamities, may properly be termed 'high pressure hot air currents.' " Father Adams, S. J., professor of astronomy at Gonzaga College of Spokane, made the foregoing observation in referring to statements attributed to observers in California and elsewhere. "Halley's comet has been sizzling around its ordained orbit century after century, just as its creator designed it to do," said Father Adams, adding: "Were there any devastating elements in the appendage of the visitor humanity would have been exterminated regularly every 7G years. A Sarcastic Fling. "It seems that such incidents in earthly affairstwould naturally attract some attention. They might even have a slight tendency to affect the increase of population and check the progress of human events generally. Very little suspicion along this line is sufficient antidote for sensational predictions as to Halley's comet, even though they are made by alleged sci entists." Father Adams claims he has definite ly located the comet, having seen it through a telescope the night of Febru ary 22, saying: "The moon is so bright just now that it is different to catch the light from anything else, but the comet showed fairly well. There were little streaks out from the edges that I judge to be evidences of the tail. The comet may be visible to the naked eye early in March at the speed it is traveling, but not sooner. To locate it, take the line formed by the lower stars of the constallation Orion and follow it north to a point just above the planet Sat urn. On that line above and slightly west of Saturn the comet should be found, but not without at least fourInch glasses." BHD PUCE TO BIDE San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 28. Affirming the decision of a lower court, Chief Justice James of the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals in this city rendered an opinion which is likely to have a far reaching effect in litigation of that kind. In the original suit, Mrs. Hannah B. McElroy was awarded damages amounting to $22,000 for the loss of her husband, a telegraph line repairer employed by the International and Great Northern railroad. McElroy at the time he lost his life was riding on a locomotive for the purpose of locating defects in the telegraph lines of the railroad. He was sitting on the cow-catcher when the engine was derailed and caused his death. The railroad appealed the case on the ground that McElroy was guilty of contributory negligence by having selected the cow-catcher on which to ride when a safe or safer place was available. Justice James while admitting the value of this argument based his decision on the fact that it was not the selection of the cow-catcher as a place on which to ride that has caused the death of the lineman, but the fact that the engine had been derailed. In view of the fact that McEIroy's life might have been spared had he been in the cab of the engine or possibly on the tender, this is a rather important decision, more so since the selection of the cow-catcher was entirely vol untary on his part.

GAYIIOR GROOMED UP Mack and Sullivan Are Said to Favor the Mayor of New York City. MEETING AT SAN ANTONIO San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 28. The ways of the average politician and his agents being devious and, aye, ev en crooked at times, it is hard to spot light the motive that caused P. W. Hudson of New York, a guest at the St, Anthony, to exclaim: "Did you know that Mr. Gaynor New York's mayor, you know is being groomed for the presidency?" This remark was somewhat casual and perhaps was meant merely to convey a bit of surprising news, a possibility with strong color when it is considered that Mr. Hudson said he had discovered an oasis San Antonio in the desert of Southwest Texas. Mr. Hudson also said that he had a through ticket to California and that it would be well to ask Roger C. Sullivan, the democratic boss of Illinois, who is also staying at the St. Anthony, for what purpose he intended to meet Norman E. Mack, chairman of the National democratic committee. Mr. Mack has been at Hot Springs for some time and just to polish off the season he will come to San Antonio for a few days. Asked whether the meeting would be held for the purpose of considering the candidacy for president of Judge Gaynor of New York, Mr. Sullivan refused to commit himself, Intimating merely- that there might be something doing. When asked as to the date of the arrival of Mr. Mack the Illinois politician merely smiled meaningly. The impression prevails here that Mr. Hudson is a sort of advance agent of both Judge Gaynor and the two democratic leaders. He said many nice things about New York's mayor, among them that he was the only real mayor the city had had for some time and that Tammany Hall and its braves did cut no ice with him and that the city was being run on an absolutely business and non-partisan plan. It is not likely that Messrs. Sullivan and Mack will divulge the result of their meeting, but a Gaynor boom for the presidency will in all likelihood date from San Antonio. A Confident Life Guard.

Harris will present on Saturday next, matinee and night at the Gennett theater monopolizes the laugh market for the season, inasmuch as it is being designated by the press and public as the comedy success of the year.

Rev. Dr. Henry M. Wharton, pastor of Brantley Baptist Church, spoke thus Sunday on "Capital and Labor" in the prelude to his usual Sunday sermon. "If labor is causing us anxiety, capital is not only oppressing but disgracing the nation." continued Dr. Wharton.

BIG ATTENDANCE AT ARMTS RALLY Salvation Army's Meeting at the Murray Sunday Was a Success.

COL. SCOTT WAS SPEAKER PROMINENT DETROIT OFFICIAL OF THE ORGANIZATION WAS INTRODUCED TO AUDIENCE BY W. D. FOULKE. Notwithstanding the unpleasant weather conditions, the meeting of the Salvation Army at the Murray theater yesterday afternoon was well attended and those who braved the element felt well repaid for their visit. TH address of Col. T. W. Scott of Detroit, Mich., was the feature of the meeting. The speaker was introduced by William Dudley Foulke. Col. Scott chose for his subject, "The Salvation Army." He gave a brief history of the army, from the time of its establishment in 1865. by General Booth, tip to the present time, showing the enormous growth it has experienced and the great good it has accomplished. The first meeting ev er held by the army was when Gen. Booth, in 1S6.", placed a box in front of a saloon in Ixuuion and made a religious speech. From that time, the organization, which was then known as "The Mission," began to grow and spread into all parts of the world. In 54 Countries. l ne speaker stated that the army was now represented in 54 different countries. The large majority of these are northern countries however, as in the south such organizations are not so badly needed. The Itev. S. It. Lyons of the Reid Memorial church followed Col. Scott with an address, during which he compared the cost of the Salvation Army with the amount spent, on liquor in this city, and dwelt at length on the good the army was accomplishing locally. Col. Scott delivered another address at the Second Presbyterian church last evening, which interested a large audience. Captain Deuter gave a vocal solo and special music was furnished by the choir of the church. and oppress the people by cornering and limiting the supply of meats and poultry and increasing the cost and price thereof.' "With the upheaval of labor on the one hand, aud the oppression of capital on the other, we are like lambs between the wolf and the lion. "I think we would better recall Mr. Roosevelt and tell him to bring his guns with him. The great prosperity of our nation has led us into a reckless forgetfulness of the God of our fathers. "Let us turn to Him and to His word, and let us heed the admonition, 'In the day of adversity, consider." " "Gk1 is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Erskine's Puns. A great wit of the Scottish bar was the Hon. Harry Erskine. who was lord advocate. Though punning is not, as a rule, a high form of wit. with Erskine it became a fine art. On one occasion be undertook to pun on the subject of his friend's first sentence. His friend began. "The king" Harry intervened. "The king." he said, "is no subject." Again, a Mr. Dunlop challenged him to pun on his name. "Nothing easier." said Erskine. "Lop off the last syllable and it is done.' London Standard. via

OLD MAN HARE. The Actor's Meeting With Gladstone I Outside the Theater. John Hare, the eminent English actor-manager, said that the most delightful compliment he ever received was from Mr. (iladstone. It was a double ended compliment. Whichever way you took it it was satisfactory. Mr. Hare earned famo playing old men's parts, his character as Mr. Holdby in "A I'air of Spectacles" leing a good example. Added to this was a horror of having bis picture takeu. Mr. Gladstone had never seen a picture of the actor, but he knew him well behind the scenes as well as before the footlights. The premier's favorite play was "A Pair of Spectacles," aud he always went behind the sceues to chat awhile with tbe actor. ..... . , . . . . , , I Iia rna lip am mnn an.l tliA 1111.1. im ... M yv.
