A YISIT FROM MARS.
Astronomers Watch the Planet at the
Allegheny Observatory.
Vfi&X MUCQ LIKE THE EARTH.
Signs Discovered, of Solid Land, Water and
an Atmosphere.
PECULIARITIES OP ITS MAS I CASALS
Last night the planet Mars was in opposi
fiQU to the sun and nearer the earth than it
has been since August, 1877. It was an
eent of creat interest to astronomers and
the great planet was scanned through tele
scopes from every quarter of the civilized
globe.
The nipht was bright and clear and from
the Allegheny Observatory an excellent
view could be had. At 7:30 o'clock the
planet came into view and Immediately the
mammoth telescope operated by Prof.
James E. Keeler, the director of the Alle
gheny Observatory was brought to bear on
it. At first only a casual glimpse could be
caught of the star, but as it gained ascend
ency a better view could be had. The
planet in the region of the poles presented
a whitish appearance and boso a str.Ling
resemblance to snow. The regions of the
lower pole was also white-capped though it
has been greatly diminished during the past
few days.
Land and Seas Discerned.
Between the poles and extending for
thousands of mile two colors were notice
able, a reddish tinge regarded as repre
senting land and a faint greenish cast

supposed to indicate the presence of seas
and oceans. Thee larger bodies appear to
be connected by small canals which were
plainly isible under the strong telescope.
Jast above the center of the planet could
be seen a huge volume of vapor, evidently a
thousand miles in height, which almost ob
scured the upper part of the planet. The
vapor was partly transparent and at times
would clear away sufficiently to allow a
tolerable good wew of the tipper portion of
the planet.
Of all the planets in the solar system Mars
is possibly of the greatest interest to the in
habitants ot the earth tor several reasons.
In the first place, Mars is the nearest to the
earth of all the planets, and second, it is
most like the earth of all planets. It is
known to have an atmosphere similar to
ours. Under the strong lenses of the tele
scope one could easily see that the planet
had land and water. There seemed to be
one great ocean and one great continent.
Unlike the earth the land appears to oc
cupy at least three-fourths of the surface,
while the water occupies the other one
fourth. The continent appeared to be cut
up in many places by streams of water,
judged to be about 20 or 30 miles wide.
Canals That Puzz'e Astronom-r.
They may be rivers or no water at all,
though in astronomical language they are
called canals, as they conform closely to
the shape of a canal. Mr. Keeler is par
ticularly observing these canals. It is said
by some of the astronomers of the country
that these connecting bodies of water
change very rapidly. Where a single
bod v of water would" separate a tract ot
land to-'dar, 12 hours later it would be
separated into several strips, the river evi
dently branching out and finding other
channels.
An excellent view of the clouds on Mars
could be had from Mr. Keeley's observa
tnrr. In the telescope they appeared to j
only small white specks and had no motion
whatever. The astronomers do not say
with auy degree of certainty that the
clouds do not move, but they claim that in
case they did the distance is too great to de
tect the movement.
At the close of the observations last night
of Prof. Keeley, be said that he could not
give any report, inasmuch as he had only a
part of the wark to do. Said he: "An
agreement was reached several months ago
by the observatories to divide the work
and each of them were to look after certain
parts. Some, for instance, are measuring 4
the distance Irom the earth to Mars, while
others are taking observations with the

M'. Delbec gaTe the address. Mr. "Wilk
in noted it down, and a few moments later
bade his employer good morning, promising
to report progress within a day or two.
Outside the mansion Mr. "Wilkins hailed
a cab and told the cabman to drive him to
the bank on which the cheque was payable.
11 e cashed the cheque and then drove to the
Mansion Honse. Then he dismissed the
cab, and turning up a side street made his
v ay to a publio house and walked into the
private bar.
Mr. Spyers was also there.
"Well," said Mr. Spycr. "What luck?"
"He's all right," replied Mr. "Wilkins.
'I've got 30 poun'Is down and I'm to
hate 300 if I stop the petition being filed.
There's your half."
And Mr. Wilkins carefully counted out
15 sovereigns which he handed to his part
ner. "What's to be done?" asked Mr. Spyers,
as he pocketed the gold.
"You'd better go and work the wise.
Here's the information she wants."
He showed Mr. Spyers his note book, and
Mr. Spyers copied the address which Mr.
Delbec had given.
"Anything to be done there?" asked Mr.
Spyers.
"No; I don't think so. He says he hasn't
seen her since he married, and I expect it's
true. I think lie'd have told me if there
was anything in it."
"All right," said Spyers. "Then I'll go
to business to-night. I suppose Mrs. D. is
there?"
"Oh, yes; that's where she writes to the
solicitor lrom. My pal in the office took her
address from the letter book."
"I suppose she'll see me ?"

Comparisons td lis Mads latdV On. '
"The observations will be compared after
all is over, and it may be that for yean our
labors will be of no peculiar value. The
work which shall accomplish I can assure
you will be very little. Mars, you know, is
considerably south and no good view
with scientific results can be had north of
the equator. At the present time an ex
cellent view can be had at Del Ftiego. or

even Cape of Good Hope. We will have to
relv almost exclusively on them for the in
formation we get.
"The great question that is to" be de
termined is whether the planet is inhabit
ed like the earth. It has been shown be
yond doubt that the planet is possessed of
vegetable matter. Mountains and rivers
can plainly be discerned. The presence of
the vapors indicate verv clearly that the
planet is surrounded bv the same atmos
phere as the earth. This is a matter of
great importance, and I can assure yon that,
judging from the rapid strides made in the
scientific world, it will soon be known."
Mars, named after the Roman god of war,
iB the fourth planet in order of distance
from the sun, and the nearest to us of those
superior planets whose orbits lie outside of
the earth's.
Much Smaller Than the ftirtli.
Its diameter is supposed to be 4,200 miles.
It travels around the sun in a mean sidereal
period of 089. 97 days, at a mean distance of
141,500,000 miles, and returns to apposition
at intervals separated by a mean period of
790.33 days. The eccentricity of the
orbit is wry much greater than
that of the earth, so that while
its greatest distance from the sun
is 152,304,000 miles, its least is 126,318,000
miles. The earth's mean distance lrom the
sun is 91,430,000 miles, so that when the two
planets are in conjunction the mean dis
from the earth to Mars' is about 49,000,000.
But when they are in conjunction, or when
Mars is nearest the sun in its progress round
its orbit although the earth at that time is
considerably further from the sun than her
mean distance, the distance between the
two is abont 33,000,000 miles.
In I81 1 it was discovered that Mars has
two moons. They are the smallest planets
ever discovered by scientists. They are
inner and outer planets; the inner is abont
eight miles and the outer 20 miles in di
ameter. The first is estimated about 4,000
miles from Mars and the latter 12,000 miles.
Prof. Keely was highly gratified with the
work he accomplished last night, and will
prepare and submit his report at an early
date.
Worse Than a Lock-Oar.
The statement of Mr. J. Sterling, of
Wickllfie, Ky., will be of especial interest
to mechanics, many of whom have had a
similar experience.
"I am a cooper by trade, and for many
years worked in Chicago. About 12 months
ago I had an attack of diarrhoea, which be
came chronic. I was treated by two prom
inent physicians of Chicago, but from them
received no permanent benefit I then
went to Texas, whf re I was again treated
by a leading physician With results similar
to those I had previously experienced. In
May I came to WicklitTe, Ky., in a very
debilitated condition, consequent upon this
long continued trouble. I went to a drug
store for relief. Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recom
mended. The first dose relieved me, and
two 25 cent bottles cured me. I consider
myself well to-day."
Mr. Sterling is G2 years of ape and a very
nice old gentleman, and reliable in all mat
ters. He came here in a very low state of
health, but now says he feels perfectly well
and buoyant and has had no symptoms of
diarrhoea for three or four weeks. Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Bemedy
is very popular here. G. W. Shivell,

will; but to make sure, I'd better write yon
a letter, like you wrote to me to show
Delbec. It makes it look genuine."
Mr. Wilkins called for a pen and ink and
a sheet of paper, and wrote as follows:
"Sib I am anxious to obtain all the in
formation I can with regard to a lady call
ing -herself JMrs. Delbec, who is living at
, Brussels, Can you have her kept un
der observation for a week, and also find
out for me the particulars of her past life?
If you can undertake the case call here, and
I will give you what information we have
abont her."
The letter written, he carefully cut off
the top corner where the address wonld
have been and the bottom corner where the
signature would have been, and then handed
it to his partner, who put it in his pocket
and went off to his suburban residence to
park his bag and prepare for his trip to the
continent.
Three days afterward Mr. Wilkins re
paired to his partner's residence to hear the
result of the Journey.
Mr. Spvers was jubilant.
The lady had received him, had listened
to h'n story, had read the letter, had be
trayed considerable agitation, had thanked
Mr. Spyers for his inlormation, and en
listed his services on her behalf. The com
edy had been played with her as it had been
with Mr. Delbec, and she had confided to
Mr. Spvers certain details invaluable to the
other side.
"I had a long talk with her, Wilkins,"
said Mr. Spyers, "and it's evident she don't
want her past gone into, and this divorce
business is only bounce to make old Delbec
part a little more handsomely, and, I tell
you what, I thinkore can do ourselves a

TEE WALL PAPEE TRUST A FACT.
It Was Formed Tuesday Afternoon With a
Capital ofSSSOO.OOO.OOO.
Ntrw York, Aug. 3. According to the state
ment or Samuel Untermeyer, of the law firm
or Ougenhelmer & Untermeyer, a wall paper
combination or trust was perfected late
yesterday afternoon. It Is Bala that fnlly
40 of the leading manufacturers or the coun
try are Interested, and the valne of the prop
erty involved in tho deal is said to exceed
$200 000,000.
The promoters deny that the affair is a
"trust," Mr. Untermeyer says the purpose
of the move Is to reduce expenses, not to
Increase prices. Among the firms mentioned
as belonging to the trust are the Adams &
Bishop Company and Warren Fuller & Co.,
of this City.
ONLY ANTHRACITE GOES UP.

CiscrwwATT, Aug. 3. Special. In regard
to the sudden and unexpected advance in
coal, W. S. Gould, or the Marmot Company,
statestbat only ahtliraolte has gone up. No
Cincinnati firm mines Its own coal, and, be
ing forced to purchase it of the Eastern
dealers, the advance was made for the sim
ple reason that they are forced to pay 50
cents more a ton. The rise is made by the
combination with headquarters In New Jer
Delbeo will give you 300 to stop the pro
ceedings, and I th'ink I can find out enough
about the lady to show her that.it won't be
wise for her to go on, and perhaps get a bit
extra for her too out of her husband. If we
do this you'll have earned mine. If I can
get her another 200 a year she'll give me
200 for myself I should think, and tnat'U
be 500 between us and our expenses as
well; and business always leads to business,
and we shall have made a good start."
In pursuance of their plans the two part
ners set to work. Mr. Wilkins maklne
various alarming reports to Mr. Delbeo of
the awful things Mrs. Delbeo was going to
put in her petition and the inquiries she
as having made, and Mr. Spyers tracing
back various details of the lady s past, and
informing her that this wag what the de
tective employed by Mr. Delbeo was re
porting to his employer.
Mr. Spyers ascertained quite enough
about Mrs. Delbec's former vagaries to
make the witness box anything but a bed of
roses for her, and Mr. WilklnB drove Mr.
Delbeo nearly mad by aBsnring him that
wherever he went he was watched, and the
whole of his proceedings reported to the
solicitor for the opposite side.
"It's an infamy," yelled the unfortunate
M. P. "There's no man living who would
not resent such a' system ot espionage. Jt
must be stopped." -
"It shall be stopped, my dear sir. I am
foiling your persecutors at every turn, and
I am at the same time endeavoring to ob
tain information about the lady which will
make your hand strong if ever you have to
show it. You shall' hold the trump card,
sir."
Mr. Delbeo Instructed his agent to spare
no pains and no expense to settle the mat
ter, and he was liberal in the matter of ex
penses. The firm of Spyers & Co. not only
paid their rent and handed the house
keeping money over regularly to their
wives, but they burst out into new clothes
and smoked the best cigars and occasionally
in the privacy of their chambers cracked a
quart of champagne and drank each other's
health-
Thev played the game as long as they
thought it wise to play it, and while play
ing they took care to work as well. They
worked so effectively that at the end of six
months they had Mrs. Delbec's romantio
history complete and neatly written out on
30 sheets ot foolscap in the most methodical
manner, and there were very few links
missing in the chain of evidence. There
was nothing: very startling in her life's
story. It only went to show that she was
what the world would call an adventuress,
and that Mr. Delbec was not the, first prize
she had played for, though he was the
prize she had most effectively landed.
"I don't"think.it' very strong," said Mr.
Wilkins, as he read the dottier carefully.

Mr. Gould stateB that there Is absolutely

"Why not"

Mr. Wilkins, "Nothing gone wrong, I
hope?"
, At 5:40 the Ostend mail steamed into

of 'a second-class carriage, and eagerly
scanned the platform for his partner. Mr.
Wilkins arrived immediately afterward,
puffing and blowing. He had forgotten to
engage a cab, and had to walk, which made
him late.
"Weill" he exclaimed, "is all right?"
"Yes but we mnst settle at once."
"What's the hurry? Found anything

"No but I shall hare to If it goes on.

Cleveland Stands by- His Veto of the Des
MoInrS Land Settltr' 1:111.
Ft. -"Dodge, Ia., August a John V.
Buncombe, who nominated Boies at Chi
cago; wrote to Mr. Cleveland in relation to
bis veto Of what was known as the Des
Moines river and settlers' bill, and has re
ceived the following reply:
Gray Gables, 1
Buzzard's Bat, Mabs. August 28.
Hon. John F. Daacombei
MtDear Sir Your letter or July 13 Is at
hand, and I thankyou for the friendly senti
ments which it contains. 1 remember very
well the perplexities involved in my action
upon the DeB Moines river land grant. My
memory is entirely clear Upon two points
which largely entered into my considera
tion. After reading the decisions of the
courts upon the questions involved n tho
bill which was before me for my notion,
it was entliely clear that tho only result or
the legislation would bo to further Involve
tho unfortunate settlers In litigation and
further load them with exposure, to no pur-
?oso. Tho events seem to have proved that
was right in this.
Another thought which was firmly in my
mind, and which was distinctly and em'
phaticallv declared in .my veto, was to the
effect that if any settler had beenladnced
to go upon tho lands and expend money in
improvements on the faith or some ruling or
the Land Department, such settler should
be falily and Justly remunerated for his oat
lay. I should have been glad any time to
have relieved such settlers if it had been
possible to do bo. and no one can accuse me
of acting In the matter in any other spirit
than that or extreme kindness and tender
ness toward those who had been injured bv
the vacillation or Government officials. This
matter can be made so plain by reference to
the laws and to my veto and thejudlclal
decisions bearing upon the questions that I
do not see how it Is possible ior any person
to misrepresent or misunderstand the true
condition. Very tiuly yours,
Grover Cleveland.

him, and he handed her a check for 1,000,
it "being understood that she would re
linquish his name and go to America.
Of course, it did not exactly clear him of
his liability in the event of her making
further demands upon him. She was his
wife. But it ttas a solution of the difficulty,
and Mr. Delbec believed that he would be
troubled no further. He had had enough
of matrimony, and wasn't likely to want to
try the experiment again, and at any rate
it gave him peace for a time and settled the
divorce proceedings.
As soon as the deed was signed and he
had bidden the lady gooaby and ex
pressed a hope that she would enjoy herself
and do well in the United States, the re
lieved M P. returned to his chambers and
found Mr. Wilkins waiting for him.
"I trust you are satisfied with the result
of my labors, sir," said that gentleman.
"Perfectly," said Mr. Delbec; "here is
your money, and thank you."
Mr. Delbec handed Mr. Wilkins a check
for 500, which at the detective's request
he did not cross, but left open, and the de
tective just got to the bank in time to ex
change it ior notes.
When a little later he met Mr. Spyers he
handed him 150, his half, and Mr. Spvers
then handed him 100 his half of the 200
he had received from Mrs. Delbec (it
was 300, but between partners little er
rors of arithmetic will occasionally hap
pen), and then a bottle ot champagne was
sent for, and a bumper was drained to the
health of "the parted pair."
"And now, Spyers, old man," said Mr.
Wilkins'as he leaned back in his arm chair,
and gazed contentedly at the office ceiling,
"tell mo why you were in such a hurry to
get this business closed un at once. Wo
mlsht have had another 100 'expenses.'"
"I'll tell you now, Wilkins, because
you've done your duty by your client, and
played fair and straight, as I hope we
always shall da The lact Is, I'm very
much afrtid, that the marriage wasn't a
legal one."
"Ehl" exclaimed Mr. Wilkins.
"I knew she was frightened about some
thing, and she blurted it out She let out
she was a widow when she married Delbec,
and on the certificate she was described you
know as a spinster, and in her maiden
name."
w "That didn't make the marriage Illegal,
did it?" said Wilkins.
"Perhaps not, but she was so tlmnder
ingly frightened about something that
might come out that I've come to my own
conclusion "
"And that is "
"That Mr. No. 1 isn't dead," said Mr.
Spyers,
Mr. Wilkins drew a long breath.
"Phew! That's what you'd got on yonr
mind, was it? But, dash it all; if we'd
found that out and told Delbeo I should
