THE RCCENTRICITIES RECENTLY OBSERVED IN THE FONS-BROOKS COMET—WHAT HAS BEEN SEEK BY WASHINGTON ORSERVERS—A TALE WITH THE SCIEN- TISTS AT THE OBSERVATORY. ‘The Pons-Brooks comet, which reappeared in September last, after an absence of seventy-one Fears, has been asubject of great faterest to as- tronomers since that time. They never weary of making observations, calculations and drawings of {t, and intently watching every minute change {t Presents in Its course toward the sun. It will reach the nearest polnt to the sun on the 2th of January, when it will be seventy million miles dis: tant and stxty-elght million from the earth. It was nearest to the earth on the 8th instant— fitty-three million “miles distant. Astronomers throughout the country keep thelr telescopes fixed on the strange visitor night after night, to detect the silghtest change in it. Every now and then the news is flashed over the telegraph wire that Some professor in a certain observatory has discov- Siri at the comet has undergone certatn changes This news, comparatively of but ttle interest to the general public, fs seized with avidity by scien- Usts, who compare notes and make observations accordingly. Only yesterday the papers informed us that Prof. E. E. Barnard, of the Vanderbilt uni versity ashville discovered that on Sunday the 1g nucleus Was surrounded by a nt envelope, snd numerous dark rifts re visible in the tall of the comet. On the following night the tail had separated into Uhtee distinct branches, showing dark sky beuween, and there was a rapid pulsation of light one degree back of the nucleus. With this bit of news In mind STAR reporter visited the naval observatory this morning for the purpose of learning if any similar changes had been noted there by the corps of | astronomers, who allow but very litte that occurs ih the heaves to escape their observation. WEAT CAPT. SAMSON KNOWS ABOUT IT. Capt. Samson, upon being Interrogated upon the Subject, replied: “1 have not observed all the changes sou speak of, but it 1s not at all unlikely that such have oecurred.

ATALK WITH YOUNG SOTHERN IN HIS DRESSING-ROOM WHY HE DOESN'T PLAY “THR CRUSHED TRAGE- DIAN”—LOOKING FOR 4 NEW PLAY—HIS REASON FOR CONTINUING IN THE “GOVERNOR'S” FOOTSTEPS. After the curtain had been rung down and the last of the spectators hid made hts way out of the ‘theater, a Stak reporter stumbled, groped his way. ‘through the dark intricacies behind the scenes at Ford's Opera House until he found himself in the Uttle apartment, about the size of a steamboat ‘State-room, known as the star's di room.

Be A Woman’s Ideas on the Temperance Question, ‘To the Faitor of THe EvENiNe Star: Thave been present at a few temperance mect- ings In this city, and have heard a great deal of abuse of the liquor dealer, and but very few exhor- tations to the Uquor drinker to give up his habit of drinking and reform. T think {f the demand was diminished the supply would naturally decrease. 1 Uiink Uhese temperance folks begun at the wrong end, and that if they would try to reform the rinker of liquor as hard us they’are abusing the Mquor dealer they would reach their object quicker and by a better way. They seem to think that he alone is to blame, forgetting that if he had no cus- Yomers he could hot Sell, and that he ts only sup- plying a demand. I have uo prejudice tn his favor, ag L myself do not use liquor at all, either as a bev? erage ‘or medicine, but I think ‘it these people would try to make ‘those who drink liquor see how ternbly wrong 1U1s to use that which steals away. their senses, ruins their lives, and the happiness of all connected with them, 1t would be a better way. {o shut them up than to keep on abusing them for doing what all business men do—supply what they see ad constant demand or. Abuse is a poor wea- Pon to fight them with, but get up m and draw the drinkers in, and reform them, ‘the liquor dealers’ occupation will begone.
