The action taken by the justice is said to be without precedent in the New York courts, as it Is the first occasion when a verdict in favor of a plaintiff has been set aside without an application being made by the counsel for the party in whose favor the verdict was rendered.

Mott, of Oswego, Senator Stranahan passed through this city for Washington, where they have an appointment to meet the President at noon to-ni6rrow. Before leaving Colonel Mott said: "The appointment is made with the full approval of Senator Tlatt and Governor Odell that I know.

Senator Stranahan will accept, and the announcement of his appointment, I believe, will meet with the approval of the Republican organization throughout the State. The Senator has always been in accord with the Republican State organization." The announcement was a complete surprise to Senator Stranahan himself. His name had been mentioned in connection with the place, but he did not understand that consideration of the subject had been closed or that the appointment would be made for some weeks to come. To a few friends Senator Stranahan said that he would spend the winter at Albany as usual, as that was the wish of both Governor Odell and Senator Piatt. Senator Stranahan 13 the youngest man ever appointed Collector of the Port of New York, being In his forty-first year.

He has always been a firm friend of Senator Piatt, and when Mr. Roosevelt was Governor there was a strong personal friendship existing between them. He was formerly District Attorney of his county. Collector Bidwell was charged by Independent Republicans of this city with using Federal patronage to carry his district in primary elections and of being influenced in his management of the custom house by Ieca' Republican leaders. Announcement was made on high Republican authority in this city tonight that George W.

Whitehead will be chosen to succeed Appraiser Wilbur F. Wakeman, and that he will take office when Senator Stranahan assumes the office of Collector. NEW YORK'S BUDGET PASSES Appropriations For 1902 Call For Nearly $08,000,000. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. New York, Nov.

Nov. 15. The Princeton team, which will play against Yale tomorrow, left here tonight for New York. Tomorrow it will go on to New Haven. The team was accompanied by the coaches and Trainer Robinson.

At the station before the train started the undergraduates gave the team a big send-off. The university songs were sung and cheers given for the players. All the players are In fine condition and even the four crippled members of the team will be able to play in the game. Upward of 'a thousand undergraduates will go to New Haven to see the game.

The early hours of evening disclosed almost none of the enthusiasm generally witnessed on the night before the annual battle between the Tigers, and the sons of Eli. This condition may probably be accounted for by the fact that very few Princeton men have reached New Haven yet. The members of -the Yale team retired early. The feeling on all sides tonight seemed to find expression in the belief that while tomorrow's game would prove a hard-fought one the contest would In reality not reach old-time proportions of skill and general excellence, because the battle would be between crippled elevens. Betting was very scarce and the few wagers posted were Insignificant in size.

The prevailing odds were 10 to 9, with Yale the favorite. J. II. U. Beserves, 15; Marstons, C.

The Johns Hopkins "scrubs" defeated the Marstons "prep." school team 15 to 0 yesterday at American League Park. The Hopkins men failed to realize that they had no soft thing until the "preps" scored a touchdown and kicked a goal just about the end of the first half. Then the "scrubs" braced up, but too late to score in that half. In the second half Hopkins kept the ball all the time and played so fast and hard that Marstons was overwhelmed. Haz'e-luirst made the first touchdown and Pearce the second.

Dickey made the star play of the day when he caught the ball on the kick-off and carried it for 95 yards down the field and over the line for the third touchdown. Twice Hopkins was not allowed to kick on technicalities, and Pearre missed the other time. For Marstons Dobbs, Sperry and Matthal carried off the honors. The line-up was a3 follows: Scruhs.

Knights Of Labor Call On Congress To Apply A Remedy. Ixdianapolis, Nov.

15. The General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, in session here, heard today the report of the committee on legislation. It says the evolution now taking place in the industrial field through the rapid concentration of capital has filled the working classes with alarm for the future welfare of the country. The report declares it is time to call a halt on municipal, State and National legislation granting further privileges which go to fatten already large private fortunes. Resolutions submitted with the report demand from Congress such legislation as "will provide for the utmost publicity of the affairs of all corporations doing an-Interstate business." Such laws are demanded prevent the capitalization of any corporations above the amount of money actually Invested, whether said investment be in cash or plant." The resolutions declare that "Congress has no right to tax all the people for the benefit ofa few," and that "whenever Government aid is extended to private corporations it means robbery of the whole people." The assembly devoted most of its afternoon session to consideration of a "resolution denouncing the Frye-Hanna-Payne Subsidy bill.

It was bitterly opposed by six members and was referred to a committee on legislation, who reported it back within an hour unchanged. Then it was passed by an almost unanimous vote, STRANGE IMMIGRANTS How Various Living Things Are Distributed By Ships. Every ship that comes Into the port of New York or leaves here for distant countries carries on board creatures whose presence is never clearly known until the vessel has been duly Inspected from truck to keel. Rats Inhabit nearly all vessels, whether built of wood or iron, and they come and go with the freedom of passengers with tickets prepaid through to distant ports. Then It is that the professional rat catchers have- their hands full chasing the rodents with ferrets and dogs from one part of the ship to another, and the slaughter is great.

But these spasmodic attempts to clear the ships of rats are like drops of water in the ocean. There is no appreciable dlminu-t'on in their numbers, and when the ship warps up to her pier and loads with another cargo of grain she may carry in her hold as many rodents as when she first entered the harbor. This is due to the fact that there is a regular migration of rats going on all the time. Sailors do not object to the presence of rats on shipboard; Indeed, they consider them safe shipmates and sure signs that the vessel Is seaworthy and not in danger of sinking. The sight of the rats deserting a ship Is sufficient to discourage any sailor from going on board for a trip, but on the other hand, too many rats aboard spoil everything.

Numbers make them bold, and instead of staying in the hold where the cargo Is stored they will appear in the sailors' quarters and even In the captain's cabin. A ship overloaded in this way with rats becomes an unpleasant abiding place. Strange experiences have been related of stowaways being driven from their hiding place In the hold of the ship by the nightly appearance of the rats in such numbers as to threaten them with danger. Few can stand the nightly company of several hundred inquisitive rodents almost as large as kittens, especially when the hold of the ship Is unllluminated by the slightest ray of light from above, and a species of uncontrollable terror generally seizes the Btowaways before the ship Is two days out. It is easier to face an Irate captain than the fierce-eyed rodents of the hold.

But rats are not by any means the only strange shipmates that travel the sea on ships without the knowledge or consent of the captain and owners. There are many insects that migrate from one quarter of the globe to another by means of the vessels which ply between distant ports. Indeed the spread of nearly all kinds of living creatures ha3 been dependent upon the ships of civilized nations. Winged pests and blessings have been steadily carried to new countries by this means, and the invasion of our land by insects, Dugs and crawling things in recent years has caused not a little talk of legislation against the admission of tropical fruits and seeds until after they have been examined and quarantined. Not long ago a ship from one of the tropical countries was followed by a flock of butterflies, which persistently circled around the rigging of the vessel until the shore had faded in the distance.

Then the insects alighted on the masts and deck. A few disappeared In the night and were de stroyed in the water or reached shore In safety. Some of the others crawled away in the cabins and hold of the ship. After a trip of 30 days the vessel reached New York, and from their hiding place In the ship a few of these butterfles emerged and flew ashore. Thus an entire new species of butterflies was Introduced Into this country.

This authentic instance of the migration of butterflies Is but a single illustration of how sometimes ships bring Into our harbor desirable and undesirable immigrants whose names are never entered on the books of the company. The common cockroach has spread throughout the civilized world by means of ships. This disagreeable bug comes and goes on shipboard almost as freely as the rats. The two seem to live together amicably, and they monopolize largely the holds of the ships which carry foodstuffs. Grain-carrying ships always have many Insects aboard.

Common grain weevils ara transported in these cargoes from all parts of the world. The appearance of many new grain Insects In this country in the last 20 years is attributed to the fact that they have been imported with the seeds of grain from other lands. In the seeds the larva of the insects may be buried, and no human power could detect them. The only safe way to prevent their importation is by fumigation or by boiling. The common smut and black rot of our grain cannot be destroyed in any other way.

To avoid spreading these pests even in this country it is necessary for the farmers to soak the seed In water brought nearly to the boiling point, which destroys the germs and spores of the disease, but does not quite kill the germ of life in the seed. Tropical fruits are common carriers of strange creatures which may prove costly immigrants when admitted. Ships engaged in fruit carrying from the warm countries are frequently laden with miscellaneous cargoes of queer creatures. Concealed in the bunches of bananas there may be poisonous reptiles that have traveled half around the globe. They may sting the hand of some receiver of the fruit, or they may be killed before harm can be inflicted by them.

Sometimes, however, they escape ashore, and if the new country they have reached proves congenial to their growth and multiplication they may establish in time a progeny that will spread in all directions. Poisonous snakes of the tropics have thu been introduced in lands where none were ever known to exist before. Even along the shore front In New York poisonous snakes have been found and killed. They had escaped from the hold of some fruit steamer, and In the warm summer months they had found congenial existence among the docks. The smaller Insect pests which are not so easily detected by the ordinary eye frequently come into the country by means of Imported fruits.

Thus we have introduced the scale, which has proved such a costly enemy to the orange and fruit growers. Moths of a destructive nature constantly come to this and other ports In the fruit ships, and their spread Is merely a matter of time and opportunity They are ship mates that cause no trouble to the sailors. who are not even aware of their presence on shipboard, but they are costly to the farmers and Inhabitants of the land where they become established.

Baden-Powell At Home. There Is an Interesting article on Major-General Baden-Powell at home in the Week End, in which the author remarks: "One of the first things that struck me about at home was his wonderful buoyancy; In spite of the streaks of gray hair that have appeared during the last two years in spite of the rapid 'growth of his forehead' and the thinness of his hair on top (about which his mother and sister tease him unmercifully, be runs about the house like a schoolboy and never conies down the stairs without taking three at a time. There is little silence when is In the house; he sings lustily in his bath, and when he is not singing he is whistling or talking to the birds. The birds are Miss Baden-Powell's pets. In a niche on the staircase stands a young fir tree, and on its branches one finds canaries, goldfinches and a little brown linnet; they arc free to fly about the house as they please, but at breakfast time an elastic period at No.

The Johns Hopkins Varsity eleven will line up against Western Maryland this afternoon at American League Park, which will probably decide the Maryland Intercollegiate championship, although Hopkins will have to play St. John's next Saturday before this question will be definitely settled.

The other game will be between the old antagonists, the Baltimore "Meds" and Maryland Athletic Club, for the championship of the city. Western Maryland has a sturdy eleven and will put up a hard fight, but Hopkins never had a better-team than it will have this afternoon. The men have been practicing very hard every day and are in excellent trim. Garwood, who was captain on the University of Colorado eleven last year, will play left guard. Farls, at left halfback, h'ill, as usual, attend, to everything that comes his way, and Riggs, who shared in many a victory for Hopkins last year, will be out today also.

Youtz, Houghton and Hill, of the Medical School, will play, and Sayler, at right halfback, of course. This game is expected to be one of the best of the season. New Anthems For Rooters.

At-Union Park the long-expected game between the Baltimore Medical College and the Maryland Athletic Club for the championship of the city will be played.

The hard practice of the past week has put both teams in excellent physical condition and the keen rivalry between them insures a fierce contest from start to The doctors have recovered from their injuries, while the M. A. C. men are in better condition than they have been at any time this season. The advantages and disadvantages of the two elevens about balance each other and the contest is expected to be one of the closest that has been seen on a local gridiron this season.

The adherents of each eleven have wagered considerable money upon the outcome of the contest, chiefly upon even terms. Neither is willing after comparing the strength of the teams to give odds. How They Will Line tp. After a consultation yesterday the B. M.

C. coaches announced that Noland and Stonecipher would probably start the game at "half," but a change may be made at the last moment. In any event both McCrowe and McGovern, and probably Frosher, will be given a chance to show their ability before the game is over. Lloyd will also play at end, as Noble has not recovered sufficiently from the injury to his shoulder received In the Homestead contest to play in today's game. A change was also announced in the lineup of the Maryland Athletic Club yesterday.

Bloom will play at half in the place of Hayden and the change will probably strengthen the clubmen. Blome is one of the crack sprinters of the State and has also had considerable experience, having played on the 'blg" A. C. team of '98. The line-up wili be as follows B.

LOW ANNOUNCES FIRST CHOICE Dcvery's Successor Likely To Be State Superintendent Partridge. Judge Sets Aside Small Verdict.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l New York, Nov. 15. George Loekbart Rives, independent Democrat, prominent in soe'ety and wealthy, is to be Corporation Counsel at a salary of the administration of Mayor-elect Seth Low. His appointment was announced by Mr. Low today at his home, 30 East Sixty-fourth street.

Giving out a statement on the subject Mr. Low said: "It gives me pleasure to announce that the Hon. George L. Rives has accepted my invitation become Corporation Counsel after January 1. Mr.

Rives was president of the commission appointed by Governor Roosevelt that made the revision of the charter that goes into effect at the beginning of the year. He is therefore exceptionally well equipped for the interpretation of this instrument. "He has been for five years a member of the Rapid Transit Commission, and his intelligent co-operation is therefore assured for the forwarding of all the interests of the city that come under this head. He has also been, from the beginning, one of the trustees of the Public Library. "Formerly he was First Assistant Secretary of State under President Cleveland, and it is interesting to recall that in the final ballot of the Fusion Conference Committee, when I was selected the fusion candidate for Mayor, the votes were divided between Mr.

Rives and myself. "This appointment has been made, first of all, because questions requiring a construction of the charter as it affects any officer are likely to arise at any moment, Mr. Rives authorizes me to say that! any official already elected or any officer hereafter appointed may consult him upon questions of this character in case of need at any time between now and the first of January." Mr. Rives, who was born In New York May 1, 1849, is a descendant of a distinguished Virginia family. His grandfather was William Cabell Rives, for many years a leading figure in the social and political life of Virginia, who, after studying under Thomas Jefferson, began his career as a lawyer, gave up his practice to serve In the War of 1812, and then, re-entering civil life, held many high offices in his State.

He was a Representative for several terms, a United States Senator for 10 years, and served twice as Minister to France. For many years Mr Rives has been a trustee of Columbia University, and la 1897 was prominently named as a possible successor to Mr. Low as president. Mr. Low will be the guest of Columbia alumni at a dinner to be given in his honor on Tuesday, December 10, at Sherry's.

The invitation was tendered by the alumni council as a means of testifying, on behalf of the graduates of the university, to their appreciation of the distinguished services rendered by Mr. Low as president of Columbia.

This they referred to as the "Baker estate," and they proudly pointed the old man out as the-wealthy president of their club. He lived in a cheap lodging house.

The Hobo Club was organized by the old man five years ago. and its membership was limited to 50. Dues were two cents a day, and this was expended for newspapers and magazines. Fought To Save Suicide. John Kelsey, 25 years old, who lived In a furnished room In Hicks street, Brooklyn, committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid in the presence of his sister at the latter's home, 251 West Ninety -fifth street, today.

The sister is Mrs. George E. Hopple, whose husband is a broker. Kelsey worked for his brother, Albert, who is also a broker. He had been dissipating a great deal of late and did not go to work today.

He called at his sister's house about 11 o'clock and talked about his habits. He said he was sorry that he could not stop drinking and was disgusted with himself. He said he was unable to brace up. Addressing her by name, he said: "I am going to end it all." As he spoke he drew a bottle of carbolic acid from his pocket and raised it to his lips. His sister sprang toward him to prevent him swallowing the acid, but he held the bottle tightly.

A struggle ensued. Around the room the brother and sister wrestled, he trying to hold on to the bottle and she struggling desperately to take it away. In the struggle Mrs. Hoppie's hand was slightly cut by the bottle and some of the acid was spilled on it, burning the flesh. The shock made her relax her efforts for a moment, and Kelsey took advantage of it to wrench the bottle away from her, raise it to his lips and swallow the contents.

There was about an ounce of the acid in the bottle. Mrs. Hoppie screamed as her brother fell writhing on the floor. Dr Carey, of 171 West Ninety-fifth street, was hastily summoned, but a few moments after he reached the house Kelsey expired. Young.

Kelsey's parents live In Pittsburg and are well to do. He came to New York a short time ago and entered his brother's employ, where he had worked ever since. million-Dollar Contract To Be Let. By an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court handed down today an order of the lower court denying to Wil liam B. Bradley continuance of a tempo rary injunction to prevent the letting of a contract to Norcross Bros, ifor the erection of the public library in Bn'ant Park is af firmed.

Norcross bid was $2,865,706. Bradley brought the action as a taxpayer to restrain, city officials from accepting, the bid. Judge George L. Ingraham, writing the opinion, holds that it is quite clear that the administrative work relating to the parks in Manhattan and Richmond, includ ing the erection of buildings In any park, is imposed upon the Park Commissioner, and not upon the Department of Parks This disposes of 3 of the 12 objections to the contract. One of the bidders bid for what is known as "South Dover" marble $2,788,000, while Norcross whose bid was accepted, bid "Valley Quarry Dorset" marble The architect expressed a preference for the Dorset Valley marble.

The objec tion that this quarry Is the exclusive-prop erty of the successful bidder and marble therefrom is not obtainable in the open market is without force. The specifications did not require that marble from this quarry should be used, and the bid that was accepted was lower than that of any other bidder who had facilities for fur nishing Dorset marble.

John O'Brien, the temporary adminis Breeze In The Conference Methodist Missions. On BISHOP FOSS MAKES PROTEST And Rev. Dr. Gonclier, Of Baltimore, Says It Is Impossible To Successfully Conduct Mixed Schools. Pittsburg, Nov.

15. The greatest part of the third day's session of the General Missionary Committee of the Methodist Episcopal Church was devoted to the subject of appropriations, but the burning question up late in the afternoon, when the "negro question" was precipitated by a motion made by Bishop C. D. Foss, of. Philadelphia, when an application from Alabama conferences for missionary aid was reached.

The Bishop's motion was that appropriations for white work in the South (Maryland and Delaware excepted), and colored work (mostly South) be referred to special committees for consideration. Rev. Dr. II. Nelson (colored) secured the floor after the motion had been seconded and made a plea against the motion.

He said the Methodist Episcopal Church is the only church in the South which stands for the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man; that "there Is now a crusade of hate all through the South agalust the black man," and that "the cojored people down there are looking to the Methodist Episcopal Church North for help." Rev. Dr. John F. Gouther, of Baltimore, said that while he was the friend of the colored man he could not help knowing that it is at this time impossible to successfully conduct mixed schools, colleges or churches, especially in the South. "It Is not the fault of the black man," he said; "it is his misfortune." Bishops Hamilton and Walden and Dr.

Buckley spoke against the motion, after which it was laid over until tomorrow. During the debate some of the speakers plainly intimated that the time is coming when the negro will have to retire from the Methodist Church as a co-member with his white brother and organize a branch of his own. VESSEL ASHORE IN BLIZZARD Waves Ride High And Wash Over Stranded Craft. Marquette, Nov. 15.

A large vessel, either a two-masted steamer or a three-masted schooner, is ashore at Rock River Point, which is acros3 the bay from here, flying signals of distress. She went on the rocks during the blinding blizzard last night and Is in a dangerous position. The waves are rolling high on the lake and washing completely over the stranded craft. Her distress signals were sighted from Au Train this morning and the life-saving crew from there left for Rock River Point on a special train. It is believed the vessel, which appears to be loaded, was trying to make Marquette harbor when she struck.

Detroit, Nor. 15. A dispatch from Marquette, says the vessel on the rocks at Rock River Point is the consort of the steamer John Smeaton. She has about five feet of water in her hold. The crew is in no danger.

Godkich, Nov. 15. The schooner Marine City, with four members of the Canadian steamer India's crew on board, is somewhere on Lake Huron below this point. It is believed the boat has gone ashore. Yesterday the India sighted the Marine City 40 miles north of Thunder bay abandoned.

The India succeeded In getting a line to the derelict and put four men on board to handle it in towing. The steamer and derelict arrived off this harbor last night, but on account of the terrific northwest gale could not get Into the harbor. During ths night the Marine City broke away, taking the four men from the India with it. The India succeeded In getting into the harbor this morning. PEDIGREE OF THE CIGARETTE How It Displaced The Pipe In English Affections.

Now that the threatened "combine" in the tobacco trade emphasizes the great importance of the cigarette as an article of British commerce, it is Interesting to trace back the pedigree of the modern substitute for the cigar. Those of us who can recall the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War how the French have forgotten our sympathy with them, and the hundreds of bales of bandages and medical comforts and the ambulance parties which we sent to their aid knew the British-smoked cigarette In its infancy In the form of a miniature imitation of a cigar, composed of tobacco rolled up In a paper cover which was concealed In a tobacco leaf In order to effect the illusion. No genuine smoker would have been seen with such a make-believe in his mouth, but it came as a boon, if not a blessing, to the schoolboy In his furtive experiments behind a hedge, or to the middle-aged man as a stepping stone to the mild Manila or the more robust Havana in the days when many a staid professional man or tradesman had reached middle age before he realized that smoking could be indulged in without imperiling his health or his respectability. Personally we recall a disagreeable experience, the result of our first acquaintance with tobacco in "the form aforesaid, in a secluded spot on the cliffs Folk-stone and Shorncliffe. A few months later we were on "terms of Intimacy with Russian cigarettes in Ems." and the next summer in nearly, if not quite, the last year of the gambling tables in Germany, with the "Rheinboldt," with Its spiral mouthpiece, In Baden-Baden.

Thence w.e returned to England with a dozen boxes of Rhineboldts, a little uncertain 'as to whether we should be bold enough to smoke a real white cigarette In the streets of London. To our surprise we found ourselves in the van of a new fashion. One of the weekly papers we fancy it was VanityFalr had recently announced that the Prince of Wales had adopted the Continental habit of cigarette smoking, and that he favored the Rhine-boldt. Whether his Royal Highness had ever smoked this particular cigarette or not, we and our Rhineboldts, so long as they lasted, were much in request. Thenceforth cigarette smoking was tolerated in London, though practiced only to a limited extent, and some of the club committees supplied them under protest.

"La Ferine" and Russian, the latter supplied with a wooden mouthpiece In every box, competed with the importalons from Baden-Baden, closely followed by the "Oxford" and the "Cambridge," differing' mainly in the color of the boxes, and both with tubular mouthpieces of compressed paper. Algerian cigarettes appeared soon afterward, but did not find much favor. The first specialist in cigarettes whom we can recall in London was Economides, In. Regent street, whose shop front was nearly monopolized by the model of a mosque with its dome composed of loose tobacco and Its columns of Turkish cigarettes. That was in about 1873.

the year of the Ashanti expedition, which we regarded as a war because we had almost forgotten the Crimea and had not dreamed of a South African campaign with a British force of a quarter of a million. And, by the way. how little we then thought that the time would ever come when British soldiers on active service would prefer cigarettes to almost any other form of luxury on the march or in hospital! Economides contributed largely to the taste for Turkish cigarettes, as did Morris and others, and later Marcoviteh was for a time a householdword with smokers of "Egyptians." and Constantinople gradually gave way to Cairo, until the jeunesse doree affected to smoke nothing but cigarettes freshly Imported from the Khedive's capital; the silver cigarette case became as necessary to the well-appointed Englishman as a dress suit, and "gold tips" were the height of luxury. It was in the early nineties that, thanks to the heavy Importations of cheap cigarettes from" America, cigarette smok'ng became, strictly speaking, popular in this country. Now we see rival mammoth manufacturers catering for the million on both sides of the Atlantic, and the British work-lngman has almost abandoned his clay pipe and shag in favor of the two-penny packet of cigarettes, with a.

portrait of a favorite actress or khakl-clad general given In. And it is not a matter of sex. The Russian countess Is no longer conspicuous when she smokes after dinner In the conservatory of an English country bouse, and advertisements of special cigarettes for ladies are seen side by side with those of corsets and complexion restorers In the puges of six-penny fashion papers.

Post said: "We saw many more meteors than we had hoped for. Over 400 were counted, which had all the distinct characteristics of Leonids. Some were brilliant and seemed as large as Mars and other planets. Just before daybreak the shower was particularly active, three or four a minute appearing, and this kept up until daylight made them Invisible. We saw enough to satisfy us that there are many left in the computed orbit." Xobthfield, Nov.

15. Professors and students of Carleton College recorded and charted more than 1,000 meteors last night. The shower began about 11.30 o'clock and continued until sunrise. Bostojt, Nov. 15.

Over 400 meteors were seen Thursday night at the Harvard Observatory, but only 350 of these were Leonids, the rest consisting of the ordinary shooting stars. Comparatively few Leonids Were observed until 2 o'clock, but after that the shower became thicker, and between 4.30 and 3 o'clock most of the number appeared. The color of the meteors was principally light green, but In some cases they wive blue and red. The trail of an unusually large one was visible for 15 minutes. About three dozen photographs were taken, and at least one Leonid was- photo-1 graphed.

The remaining plates and those of tin camera used in the apparatus for determining the spectra of the Leonids have not yet been developed. The shower was not as large as that of two years ago, when about S00 Leonids were counted, but Is considered larger than last year's showers. Phcexix, Nov. 16. A meteoric shower of great brilliancy and considerable length occurred here early this morning.

The shower continued half an hour, and during that time more than 200 meteors were counted. ASTEROID NEAREST THE SUN New One Discovered In Pern Can Novr Be Seen Here. Cahbeioge, Nov. 15. The elliptical elements of a new asteroid discovered In a photograph of the heavens taken at Arequlpa, Peru, August 14 last, have been computed by Prof.

Simon Newcomb, of "Washington, and Miss Anna Wlnleck, of Harvard University. The protographic plate showed the asteroid as having a declination of minus 60 degrees, or occupying such a position that It had hitherto been unrecorded by astronomers. The orl.lt of the asteroid, computed by Miss Wlnloek, showed its daily motion around the sun to exceed 2.200 seconds, thus marking it as being nearer the sua than any other asteroid previously studied. It has also been found to have a greater ellipticity than any other known similar body. When discovered the asteroid was almost at its nearest point to the sun, or about 150.000,000.000 miles from that body.

Since that time it has been moving rapidly north and is now witbin reach of telescopes in the United States. SOUTHERN "POOR WHITE EOT" It. H. Edmonds. Of Baltimore, Sng-Kcsts Industrial Scholarships.

Atlanta, Nov. 15. The Southern Cotton Spinners' Association concluded Its work today. The feature of the forenoon session was the address of R. II.

Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers' Record, of Baltimore. The particular point he brought out was the duty of the South to the "poor white boy." He suggested that each manufacturer of the South endow a scholarship at some Industrial school for the purpose of educating young men who were unable to bear the expenses of education. This, he said, would cost only a small amount probably not more than a year and would prove of incalculable benefit to the South Industrially. II. MeAden was re-elected president and C.

Nov. 15. Miss Margaret McConnell, the framed nurse who was lost in the Adirondack woods 48 hours, told a remarkable story today of how her life had been saved by a deer. She said: "After roaming about the. great wilderness for a day and night, during which it rained and snowed almost continually, I fully concluded that I would never again be found.

Almost frozen to the bone on the second night, I could find no other shelter than a large rock leaning over a hollow in the ground. I pulled some boughs into the opening and, covering myself over with them, I lay quietly for at least an hour. "As I lay there a large buck came near me and appeared tame. I reached out my hand and touched his head and neck. Soon he left me and in a moment returned with a doe and fawn.

They were much afraid of me, but the buck seemed not in the least alarmed. Finally he came and lay down beside me. This is without doubt the one tiling that saved my life. The big deer remained with me all night, keeping me warm, and in the morning was in sight most of the time. "About boon, while I was rubbing my feet to keep them warm, I heard a shot, saw the deer bound into the air and fall.

I tried to rise, but could not. Then I shouted, and finally I saw a man coming my way. My first words were: 'Have you shot my big "The hunter, whose name I learned was Frederick Reber, and who lives in Boon-vine, built a fire for me end then dragged the body of the deer near the fire. I sat tipon the body while I tried to warm my feet. Soon Mr.

Reber's companions from camp, a mile or more away, came, and, after making a litter out of some boughs, they carried me to the camp." BIG FIRE IN YORK COUNTY Wellsville Whip Factory Burned, With. Loss Of $100,000. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. York, Nov. 15.

The second destructive fir? within nine years visited Wellsville, York county, this morning, when the extensive factory of the Wellsville Whip and Net Company was burned to the ground. The loss is $100,000. What caused the fire is unknown. An alarm was sounded and efforts were made to extinguish the fire, but. fanned by the breeze, the flames In a few moments got beyond control, and In less than half an hour the, entire plant was destroyed, with a large stock of finished goods ready for shipment.

The factory building was o' frame, 320 by ZG feet, and burned like tinder. A bright glare lighted the sky for miles around. Half a mile away sparks set fire to the roof of the residence occupied by M. S. Weigle.

A bucket brigade saved the house. At the time of the fire thewhlp company was enjoying a large trade, and Its storerooms were filled with large quantities of whips and fly nets ready for shipment. Goods made by this factory were sold all over the United States. The loss Is partly covered by insurance. Thre? hundred employes are thrown out of work.

The clock at the Greenwich Observatory is the most important one in Europe, for It furnishes correct time all over that part of the globe. It Is, therefore, looked after and regulated with the greatest care, and Is never allowed to get more than cne-teuth of a second fast or slow. Of course, It is impossible to correct so small an error by moving the hands, but an electro-magnet serves the purpose admirably. The magnet Is near the pendulum, which it attracts the least bit when the electrical current is turned cn. Tiie current.

Is bo timed that it delays the pentiulum If the clock Is fast, or quickens It if" tfco clock is slow. In this way a few thousand swings of the pendulum will correct the error of a tenth of a second. Review..
