OCULIST,
TOE SOLAR ECLIPSE-
Clouds Prevented Observation of Pheno
menon al Bloomiburj.
Many residents of Bloomsburg,
who had aroused themselves from
their downy cots in the " wee sma'
hours" of Thursday morning in
order to view the solar eclipse, wete
doomed to disappointment. Clouds
concealed Old Sol from the sight of
those who were watching in vain,
and to only those patient individuals
who waited until after seven o clock,
did his solar majesty show his
eclipsed visage. Shortly after the
shadow of the moon had passed off
from the south-western edge of the
sun, that orb was again covered by
clouds.
The line of totality extended
from Manitoba south-eastwardly
across Canada, across the Atlantic,
through Spain, the Mediterranean,
the northern ccast of Africa and
finally ended in Arabia. All along
this line were stations established
by the United States and foreign
governments as well as by the
great Universities for the purpose
of observing this most marvellous
and beautiful of all celestial pheno
mena.
Opera House Tuesday Evening
It is a peculiar fact that more
theatres open the season with the
Donnelly & Hatfield Magnificent
Minstrels as the initial attraction
than with any other theatrical or
ganization. This show is now con
ceded to be the greatest of the kind
in the world, and each year more
monagers try to secure this ai an
opening attraction. This is not
due altogether to the fact that each
of these succeeding years has seen
the Donnelly and Hatfield Magnifi
cent Minstrels with a more expec
sive and greater show, but that
luring these many years they have
won the confidence of the public by
fulfilling every promise made. Man
agers have learned to realize this
and they want to take no chances
by starting a new season with an
attraction about which there can be
110 doubt.
In speaking of this Mr. Donnelly
said, "I have found it pays in the
long run to keep all promises made
to the public. It is a business pro
position pure and simple. The re
putation that I have stiiven to
build up might carry me through
one season with a cheap show, but
that would end it, and I do not
consider it good business to allow
my organization to deteriorate to
the slightest extent. Therefore
the Donnelly & Hatfield Magnifi
cent Minstrels this season cost many
thousands of dollars more than ever
before." If some other managers
would adopt this policy it might
prove to their advantage.

To the Democratic- Voters ofOolumbi j
Oounty.
Thursday, Sept. 7th is the last
day for voters to register. Those
who voted on age last fall should
now register and see to it that
their names are on the list before
Sept. 7th. When men are r;gister-
ed they have little hesitancy in
going to the polls. When they are
not upon the Registry there is al
ways trouble to get them out and
additional trouble to have them
qualify. Young Democrats who
have only cast their first vote
should not neglect or overlook this
important matter, for if they do,
there is no possible way by which
they can vote. Attend to this at
once. Clinton Herring,
County Chairman,

Cricket is but little known in
this country. Years ago it was
more popular, but the more excit
ing games of base ball have dis
placed it. In Philadelphia the
Young America and Germantown
clubs are old organizations and
have fine grounds and club houses,
and in England it is still the na
tional game.

Therj are more reasons why every
Democrat should see that he is
registered and then be sure to vote,
this tall, than there has breu for
many years. One of these is that
his vote will count and will not be
nullified by some repeater in Phil;!
delphia; another is that thousands
upon thousands of decent and re
putable Republicans are joining
hands with us to aid in th? effort to
rid the State of the corrupt Machine
that has so long dishonored and
disgraced it. And still another is
that it is the time for decency and
honest in politics to win, and this
is what every good Demtcrat de
sires. To win, however, we must
all do our duty. We should begin
thnt work by seeing that ourselves,
our Democratic neighbors and their
sons, are properly registered. Aud
this must be attended to before the
evening of September 7th.
The Milton Record says: "The
election is less than two and a-half
months off and the politicating has
not yet commenced. It may be
that it will uot get started this year
until after the election. In the
general shake up in state politics
maybe the campaign methods will
undergo a revision. Well, while
politics is very quiet the voters are
doing a whole lot of thinking and
a good many of them are disgusted
and threaten to stay away from the
polls. The better element of the
Republicans a:e ashamed of the
party management, and hundreds
ot them will vote with the opposi
tion this year as a means of correct
ing the abuses that have become
unbearable. They have tried to
reform within the party and the
efforts have been d smal failures.
The same old boodlers turn up on
top every time. They realize that
to bring about a change the present
leaders and their machine must be
overthrown. It is not a war upon
Republican principles, but a deter
mination to put out of business
those who have masqueraded under
the party banner and have defiled
and dishonored it. A great oppor
tunity is presented to the Democrats
this year, not only to aid in the!
work of reform, but to materially
strengthen their own party. But
there is a good deal of indifference
among the rank and file. They
feel that the Philadelphia end of
the party is about as rotten and
corrupt as politics can get, and as
long as it is recognized and exerts
an influence in Democratic councils
this indifference will prevail to a
grea'et or less degree.
