HfIILEV’SJMET CAME
Earth Passed Through the Tail
of Heavenly Body.
FIVE HOIS TO PASS EARTH
Atmospheric Conditions Were Perfect at the
Yerkes Observatory and Pictures oi Unusual
Value Were Obtained.
kComet Came, Comet Went;
* Old World Still Moves.
k
l The comet came, the comet
* went, and this old earth is no
i worse and no better off, thus far,
l very little wiser. There was no
l collision, as the superstitious arid
* the ignorant feared, and, now
* that the comet is headed away
k from us, there will be no recur
k rence of the manifestation of
k terror that were recorded from
k all parts of the country and of
k the world.
k The earth did pass through the
k tail of the comet, and simulta
k neously brilliant auroral dis
k plays were seen from Williams
k Bay, Wis.; Milwaukee and else
k where, but the majority of as
k tronomers were not willing to
, concede that the streamers in the
, heavens were consequent upon
, the presence of cometic matter
, in our atmosphere.
Talladega, Ala—The appearance of
the comet caused intense excitement
in Talladega. Congregations of sev
eral churches left their pews, and
hundreds of persons stood excited in
the square and gazed at the celestial
visitor. Miss Ruth Jordap, daughter
of a farmer living two miles from
here, was called to the door of her
home to see the comet and immediate
ly fell dead, physicians assigned heart
failure as the cause. An unknown ne
gro on the depot platform was shown
the comet and instantly dropped dead.
The spectacle is described as being
wonderful. Said by other negroes to
have been crazed by the comet, Mil
ton Hughes, a negro, killed his wife
and child near Ashland, Talladega
county. Brought here, he broke from
his guards and ran, handcuffed, down
the principal streets, pursued by a
mob, breaking several large plate
glass windows being caught.
Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay,
Wis.—Following close upon the whol
ly unexpected astronomical condition
that prevailed when the tail of Hal
ley’s comet was plainly seen in the
east, astronomers at the Yerkers
Observatory here were further bewil
dered by a startling apparition across
the face of the sun at noon-time.
A broad spectrum of light, extend
ing across and a considerable distance
to each side of the sun, challenged
the attention of the vigilant, though
weary, observers. For the second
time in a dozen hours the little
band of scientists here were aroused
to a point of much excitement. Pro
fessor E. B. Frost, who first sighted
the phenomena, declared he had nev
er before witnessed its like. Profes
sor E. E. Barnard said the same.
The spectrum at once became a
topic for overmastering interest and
conjecture. Enormous sun spots seen
followed by brilliant displays of au
rora lights at night, and these in
turn succeeded by varied reports of
fiery streamers shooting across the
horizon to the southwest, had been
passed by the astronomers as having
absolutely no direct connection with
the comet.
Atlanta, Ga.—The comet has come
and gone, and nothing more serious
has happened than a spell of bad
weather, if that can be charged up 10
the celestial wanderer.
With all the fears and misgivings
the comet caused, he left us as he
found us, and we are still doing busi
ness at the same old stand.
Denied all privilege of a stop-over
ticket, greeted by the stony and re
sentful stare of an unsympathetic pop
ulace, and with every man’s hand
turned against it in uncompromising
distrust, Halley’s famous comet, hold
ing its schedule of some 3,000,000
miles per day, shot through the earth’s
orbit without even hesitating, and at
last reports was burning up space for
parts unknown.
Topeka, Kans—A meteor weighing
about a pound fell through the sky
light of the Shawnee building into
the office of the Shawnee Fire Insur
ance Company, splintering the desk of
Clerk Harry Morgan, within ten feet
of J. W. Going,'secretary and general
manager of the company. There were
about 50 persons in the room at the
time.
Brazil, Ind. —Many foreign coal min
ers employed in t.’ne fields near here,
drew all the money that was coming
to them, believing that the passage
of the earth through the comet’s tail
meant the destruction of the world.
The men spent their money lavishly
San Juan, P. R.—Fearing disastrous
consequences from the comet, hun
dreds of Porto Ricans paraded the
streets of San Juan and other towns
in Porto Rico, carrying candles and
c anting prayers. Many of them also
spent a considerable time in the con
fessionals. A large number of work
men failed to report at the tobacco
factories and plantations and the pine
apple shipments have been curtailed
because the laborers have refused to
work.
One of the weakest points in the
Chin-“s-e imr>?r:'al government has
boon its manasement of the finances,
asserts the New York Tribune. There
has been a deplorable lack o? en
liebt-med system, and. according to
confident report, a still more deplor
able excess r<f "squeezing” and other
forms of dishonesty. It was therefore
to be desired that fiscal reforms
should occupy a large place in the re
organisation of the government on a
constitutional basis, and it is now
gratifying and encouraging to observe
that such is the case. Various im
perial decrees have emphasized the
necessitv of fiscal reform 'and have
indicated on general lines the manner
in which it is to be efffot'’d, and
there is ground for hoping that these
wiH he cheved as the other decree re
lating to constitutional matters have
been.

Uncle Sam is rejoicing in an addi
tion to his Dreadnough fleet that
places the pennant upon his navy as
the greatest yet in the possession of
the floating armament the world has
produced. The launching of the Utah,
declares the Baltimore American, was
an event of great moment in the
naval annals of the nation. Tho
mere recital of the facts of tonnage
and a gun mount do not convey a
sufficient idea of the actual fighting
power of this monster that takes its
place along with sister ships of
might.

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
Temedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn’t
any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would
also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
B Fitch ville, Ohio.—**My daughter was all run
down, suffered from pains in her side, head and
limbs, and could walk but a short distance at a
time. She came very near having nervous
prostration, had begun to cough a good deal,
and seemed melancholy by spells. She tried
two doctors but got little help. Since taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
Blood Purifier and Liver Pills she has im
proved so much that she feels and looks like
another girl.”—Mrs. C. Cole, Fitchville, Ohio.
Irasburg, Vermont. —“ I feel it my duty to
gay a few words in praise of your medicine. When I began
taking it I had been very sick with kidney and bladder trou
bles and nervous prostration. lam now taking the sixth bot
tle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and find myself
greatly improved. My friends who call to see me have noticed
a great change.”—Mrs. A. H. Sanborn, Irasburg, Vermont.
We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will
prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful
—or that either of these women were paid in any way for

Silence!
The instinct of modesty natural to every woman is often a
great hindrance to the cure of womanly diseases. Women
shrink from the personal questions of the local physician
which seem indelicate. The thought of examination is ab
horrent to them, and so they endure in silence a condition
of disease which surely progresses from bad to worse.
If has been Dr. Pierce’s privilege to care a
great many women who have found a refuge
for modesty in his offer of FREE consults
