But if the earth should be spry enough to dodge the swift-winged comet and make a miss hit of it, then, the astronomers say, it would slip right by us and tall heels over head into the burning arms of the sun, in which case there would be such an increase of solar heat as to siagle and fry into cracklings “all we fellows caught strolling around on mother earth. } In consequence of all this calamitous prediction by the aforemeationed scien- tists, there has been some quaking in 2! boots and knocking of weak knees over the uncertainty of the fate in store for us. Butsofar the earth seems all right, asup to this writing we haven’t felt anything like an earthquake shock or the kick of a mule, neither discovered any sizzing of frying of the fat on our corporosity. And if you are lucky enough to read this in the REFLECTOR | this evening you may know that the earth is still in good shape and able to do its own turning. As it is Saturday evening and the boys are tired we don’t make any special promise about issuing an extra with a picture of the comet in case it comes along later. She Made a Mash.

The Committee Progressing. The citizen’s water works committee had a good meeung last night. The committee unanimously favors a regu- lar system of water works and are .| prosecuting their plans in that direc- tion.» Much corresponding has already been done and they are now negotiating with a civil engineer to make a survey of the town and prepare the specifica- tions and estimate. One contractor has already submitted a bid for putting in a system. “ Church Services Tomorrow. Methodist church.—Sunday- school at 9:30 A. M. ‘Preaching at 11 A. M. and 7:30 P.

Hatch, which has been killed so often and which passed the House in the last Congress and came near enough ° to} being passed by the Senate to badly frighten its epponents, is about to be killed once more. The House commit- tee on Agriculture has agreed to table The report of the majority of the Senate Election Committee, written by a Chandler, of N. H., in favor of the res- olution for investigating the election of the Alabama legislature that elected Senator Morgan exposes a Republican plot to get a majority in the Senate by unfair means. Their purpose is to use the Populists to help them pass this resolution. Then to, have the investi- gation committee report in favor of un- | seating Senator Morgan, when the Pop- ulists are again expected to join them in voting for the adoption of that re port. The Republicans in the House hope to get some campaign thunder out of the hearings which have,been arranged by a sub-con mittee ot the House com— mittee on Ways and Means for next week. These hearings are announced to be for the purpose of ascertaining whether the reciprocity treaties and ar- rangements made by the Icte Mr. Blaine during the last republican administra- _ tton were of sufficient benefit to this ~ country to make their renewal advisa. able; and what tarift and’ customs regu” ations in foreign countries are detri- mental to an increase in our foreign business. As to the reciprocity trea- ties; the Democratic Congress which repealed them ascertained. by thorough : investigation that this country received no benefit at all trom the most . of them, and from the others so little nel whole business was thrown overboard‘ Senators Morgan and Chandler made a very good imitation of a mon- key out of Senator Hoar during the ‘somewhat acid debate which; followed Senator Hale’s rather remarkable pro- eeeding of having read a statement made by the Spanish minister, which accused three Senators by name with ving Made untrue statements during the moyen on the Cuban resolu- ! ar putin his oar by to postpone consid. | and they lose their:money, A cust Jt ab surely a we stp. wale [ing by faith, and begi | After Mr, Hoar had tried to reconcile .) | his Tate position towards the Arme- :| nians with his preeent position towards the Cubans, to the great amusement of the Senate and the’ crowded “galleries ___| Senator Chandler read a telegram |’ which Senator Hoar sent to the Presi- ering’ lé support! by speech and voté for the ‘most vigorous’ meas- | ures against the ‘T irks, even to treat- ting them as pirates and enemies of the human race. and turning to Mr. Hoar, he said: “I suppose you intended to add, provided that nothing is done un- til after April 6th.” President Cleveland is Ilo ing the Senators to monopolize thé talk on Cuban affairs, and they have certainly done a lot of it that was entirely un- necessary, this week, igasmuch as the acceptance of the report of the commit- tee on foreign relations in favor of the Senate accepting the House resolutions as a substitute for its own resolutions was a foregone conclusion from ‘the first. And talking” wasn’t _the only unnecessary thing the Senate did this week, While the report of its com- mittee was pending it adopted & reso- lution calling on the President for all the informntion in his pcssession con- cerning the present state ot affairs in Cuba. cussed atthe last cabinet meeting and Cuban affairs were fully dis- there arerumors of the President hav- ing sent a trusted agent to Cuba to find out just how things ang and of his intention to send’ a. "message to. Con- gress on the subject, but neither the President nor any member of his cab- inent will talk about it, at least not for publication, Qne thing can be set down as certain. Congress has been s:ampeded, bat the administration will he isright before he takes action that cwnot be recalled, and which may cost the United States thousands of lives and millions of dollars. “She Did so When She Was Young.” A story is being told of a young lady who fuuiid.a package of love letters that had been written to her mother by her father befure they were married. The daughter saw that she could have alittle sport, and read them to her mother, substituting her own name for that of her mother, and ‘a fine young man for that of her father. The mother jumped up and down in her chair and shifted her feet and seemed, terriby she forebade her daughter having any- thing to do witha young man who; would write such nonsensical stuff. When the young lady handed the ters to her mother to read the house eso still that one could hear the growing in the back yard. A Good Sermon: “If the Lord be with us, why shen is all this betallen us ?”—Judges 6:13, There are many people who stop believing the Bible whenever things begin to happen that are not pleasant who get into the desert of unbelief. and pray for death under the juniper tree of a rebellious spirit, when the bank breaks who are ready to turn away trom Chaist whenever there is likely to be a| scaraty’ of loaves and fishes.

Borchgrevink is a Norwegian, some 30 years of age, of medium height and of modest mien, and has the typical Scandinavian fairness of hair and flor- idity of complexion. His face gives signs of that determined spirit and tixity of purpose which Norse explorers have shown from the early vikings to this latest voy ager. His hardships, i in- cident to service before the mast in a whaler; were almost ignored, and he dwelt on the Antarctic sea and its con- ditions, The intelligent audience noted his impersonal and retiring disposition, and showed its own appreciation by generous applause. * Neither Was He, “My good'man,” said the titled gen- tleman who had been violating a mu- nicipal ordinance, “I am not subject to ne laws here.
