YOUR ATTENTION Is ie i ectfully Invited to the GRAND MILLINERY DISPLAY of BYRNEO Cl CO.'G THE TRI-ClTY ENDEAVOR. HE APPOINTMENT IS MADE George H. McKinley, cousin of the presideut, was yesterday designated bv tbe latter as postmaster at Mo- line. A Washington dispatch says hat in view of tbe emergeocy that existed, in consequence ot the deter mination on tbe part of tbe depart ment to remove f ostmaster McEniry n the ground of "serious charges that Congressman Prince called at the White hone vesterdav to recom mend Editor W. F. Etstman. of the Dispatch, bat that the president af ter considerii g all three candidates with Mr. Prince, decide to favor bis cousin, G.orge H. McKinley. The dispatch says that Eastman's peti tion with the endorsement - of busi ness and professional men impressed rrince as tbe strongest. Urn. (JieD denin being backed bv the old sol diers largely and McKinley by the laboring men. The Chicago Tri bune e Washington special today savs of tbe appointment: 'Moline, 111., will have a cousin of the presi dent, named George H. McKnley, for its postmaster, thus settling the triangular liht for thU office, which has been waged fiercely and relent lessly. An intimation was given Congressman Prince, in whose dis trict tbe oliice is located, that the se lection of hlr. MKinley would be ac ceptable at the White house and the Illinois congress mnn bowed to the inevitable. Gen. Clendeoin and Ed' itor Eattman were the other appli cants, and both were strongly sap ported by leading republicans. Mr. Eastman as chairman ol tbe Hock Island county committee and Gen Clendenin was backed by tbe old sol dier element. Un tbe other hand Mr. McKinley was nrgfd I t the postmastership by the labur element in the district, and he is a foreman in one of the big foundries of that section. He was averse to tracing on his relationship to the president, and in fact would not permit his name to be mentioned to his relative. Filnca Acted T Italy. When tbe papers in the case came to the White house, however, the president noticed that his cousin was an applicant, and at once made in quiries in regard to his standing among bis neighbors. Lpon learn ing that he was in every respects a worthy citizen and a credit to his family the president suggested to Congressman Prince that it would not be at all ont of place for h'm to recommend Mr. McKinley for the postmastership. There was s nted for a new official at Moline, and it wti understood that if the congressman from the district did not recommend Mr. McKinley a appointment the president would exercise his pre' rogative and make it a personal mat ter in toe interest ol his cousin. Under these circumstances there was nothing to do but grin and bear it and Moline's postmaster's name will be McKinley." A Kaadleta Trip. As stated yesterday, George H. McKinley is enroute to Washington and was due there at 11:46 toda. while the president was dne to leave for Lake Champ!aln at toon. So that the Moline man had but four minntea in which to see his distin guished relative. - unless he chased over to Jersey City after him. Ol course the statement that Cousia George desired his relationship oon cealed from the president is slightly at variance with tbe facts in the case, as he spent seme time at Can ton last summer and he did not send his petition in under a li stitious name'. At all events, his identity has been established fully as clearly as it he had been in Washington a day sooner. I be appointee is fore' man oi ice tnoiine now company a iounary, and wnue ne has been a re publican, having served as super visor two yeara ago, he was out spoken in his views, on the s lver question in tbe early campaign in the spring of '95. declaring then be fore the parties were lined up on the lssne tbat be would not vote for b cousin it he was nominated on a gold piatiorm- It is supposed that Mr. McKinley's appointment wm use enect as soon as his bond is filed.

It will possess none of tbe especially attract! re features of a toti eclipse for either astronomers or unskilled observers, but careful observations of the times ot begin, ning at different stations will enable still further, revision of the tables of the moon's motion to be made. The eclipse period, as it is called, is one ot 223 lunations, or "moon?," which is represented by 6. 585 days, or 18 years and 11 days. This sometimes seems to be a day more or less, ac cording to the calendar, depending on the number of leap years which fall within tbe 'period. During this time occur 70 eclipses, of which 29 are of the mcon and 41 ot the sun, and during tbe next period, or Saros, a it was called by the Chaldean as tronomers centuries before the chris tian era, the eclipse repeat them selves in the same order.

Verne Swain, June 10, was found floating near the Illinois shore at Woodward's Grove at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. The body had floated only 2J miles from the point where the young lady was last seen alive Princeton.- It had evidently been held close to shore, becom ing anchored at different places. only to again be started on ita jour ney toward home by the waves from passing boats. Branches cf willows were placed over the corpse, which it was at once apparent from the long hair and dress, was that ot a woman, and Ccroner L V. Eckhart was notified. In the meantime Capt. William Knaack, of tbe Verne Swain, ancle of the missing girl, heard of the finding of the body, and nn the np trip put tne packet in at ood ward's Grove. tie immediately tdentined tbe re mains aa those of his niece.

McCaskrin, fore, man. A. H. Wendt, F. E. Rogers, J. W. Moody, N. Say re and E. B Stone, returned a verdict that Bertha Knaack came to her death by acci dental drowning. H. T. Brown, who went out in a skiff and brought the bjdy to shore, testified, as did Ar thur Johnson, who first saw the floater. Capt. Knaaok and Ella Wheeler, cook on the Verne Swain, also testified before the jury. Capt. Knaack said he believed she tell irom tne ooat. tie said she was in excellent spirits at the time of her disappearance, and he would know of no reason for ber committing sui cide. The waist and apron of the jbidy were the property on Ella Wheeler, so she claimed. The bony was exceptionally well preserved con sidering the length of time it had been in the water. Myitarv OIarad Up. The recovery of Miss Knaack's body clears up a case which was shrouded in mvstery. She was tak ing a few trips on the boat. June 10 at 4:30 p. m., while the Verne was coming toward Rock Island, she dis appeared just after leaving Prince ton, tier clothes and monev were . - iouna in ner room. JNo one saw her leave the boat, and it was first thought that she disgnised herself and left, but her motive for doing sucn a tning could never be under stood. Relatives of the dead girl were at tbe Diamond Jo landing this morn ing when the Verne Swain came in to get definite information as to the find at Woodward's grove. Capt. Knaack confirmed the report Among those at the landing was Ed Warnken, of Davenport, who was to have been mart ied to Miss Knaack Jnne 23 last. The family of the young lady have been greatly af lected oy ner disappearance, as was her intended husband, but there is some consolation in knowing the truth. MUs Knaack made her home with her grandmother, Mrs. Anna Knaack. and her uncle, Capt. Wil liam Knaack, 533 Twenty-second street. She had been raised bj the Knaack family since a child, her mother, Mrs. F.-ank Siegelmano, liv ing in Davenport. The remains arrive on the steam er.
