VOL. LXXYV. ECLIPSE OF THE MOON Total Eclipse of the Lunar Body for One and One-Half Hours. There will be a total eclipse of the moon from Friday night at 12:18 a. m. to 1:48 a. m., but a partial eclipse will be visible for a much longer period— from to-night { Thursday ) at 11:17 un- til Friday morning at 2:50. Though lunar eclipses are not rare, it is almost three years since one of any size has been visible, and four years since a total eclipse was observed. Eclipses of the moon are caused by her passage through the earth’s shadow This shadow extends from the earth in exactly the opposite direction to the sun, and, since the sun is larger than the earth, it tapers off to a point whica is about four times as far away as the moon’s orbit. For an observer situ- ated anywhere within it, the earth hides the sun completely. At the present full moon the moon's path lends almost centrally through the shadow, and she is completely im- mersed in it for an a half The circumstances of the eclip=e nre as follows, the dates being given in East- ern standard time ; Moon enters penumbra October 16 Moon enters shadow October 16, 11:17 Total eclipse tegius October 17, 12:18. m Total eclipse ends October 17, 1:45 a. m, Moon lea: es shadow October 1 Moon leaves penumbra Octoner 17 It well visible throughout the United States, though on the Atlantic hour and 10:17p m 25a m 3:50 8. m. in HEINLE'S OLEOMARGARINE RECORD, A Letter from Wm. Rice, Chairman of the Senate Committees on Agriculture, An effort is being made to place Ben- ator Heinle among those who opposed the Oleomargarine bill during the last session of the legislature. The follow- ing letter from the chairman of agri- culture explains the Benator’s position: LUMBERVILLE, Sept. 80, 1902 DEAR Bin one started the story that Senator Willlam C.

They have the sin ere sympathy of every one. The other class are directly the opposite. Every restriction placed up- on them is rebelled sgainst, and vo attempt whatever is made to respect the wishes of the people in general. An epidemic is averted, but it can not be credited to those who flagrantly violate every regulation not rigidly enforced by authority. A board of health is not a body caleu- lated to inflict punishment, but it js a body to which the public looks for the enforcement of sanitary laws and regu- lations, and protection against disease, and those who by misfortune happen to be placed under quarantine or other sanitary regulations should willingly, and ordinarily do, forgo any incon- venience for the public good. ———— During every session of the Legis- lature the corporations are represented not only by their paid agents in the lobbies but by members of both the Henate and House, who have been elected for the sole purpose of having enacted laws in favor of the corpora- tion and against the common people Labor is never represented in the lob bies, while the number of legislators who are true to the laboring man’s interest isamall, Senator Heinle, dur. ing the past four years, has been thoroughly tested. Against formidable odds he always stood up for the welfare of the mechanic and the farmer, the tradesman and the laborer, and his influence was felt and recognized fre quently. Is it not then better for the district, better for the laborer, better for the whole people to re-elect such a man than to vote for a man who is himese!f allied with corporations as is Mr. Patton, dnd whose patural inter est would be with the corporations and against the common people, Successors to Bishops Dubbs and Stanford Elected, The general conference, the highest udicatory body in the United Evan- gelical Church, b gan at Williamsport week Lo Eighty- the Pa- repre- Atlaatie They ferences from the to in attendance, The most important matter of busi. be the election of bishops to succeed Jishops Dubbs and Stanford, who are retired by the conference rules, which Bishop Dubbs has labored as a bishop the mem- 50.240 to ; Convers 29,5842; B shop Dubbs stated that bership bad increased from 79, and id Recessions for wissionary purposes, 216 665; other conference collections, 77,285; work, $117,312; $71,371; buildiog aud repairiog churches and parsonages $508 641.

Elkin is understood to have served formal notice on the managers of the Pennypacker campaign that, though he is willing to make a few more speeches ‘‘for the Btate ticket,” he pos- itively will not appear at any meeting where Penrose speaks or has been bill- ed to speak. Elkin and his friends hold Penrose primarily responsible for the rejection of the Attorney General as a candidate for Governor, and they make little at tempt to conceal their determination to defeat Penrose for re-election to the United States Senate.

C., during the civil war, as a means of protection by the Confederates. Later he and two or three other officers escaped and made their way up from Georgia to Kentucky, with many ad- ventures and much hardship. It might be a good thing for Centre Hall to in- vite the Captain back this winter to give his interesting lecture detailing hig experiences. It has taken well in other places. He is at present as sociate judge of Hedford county. One of the interesting members of Presbytery is Dr. J. H. Mathers, D. D., of Bellwood, He is one of the oldest in service, has been treasurer for more than twenty-five years, knows perhaps more about the conditions of the vari ous churches than any of the pastors, is capable of an amount of work that would keep two ordinary men busy. Good church sex tons, as is well known, are rare : hence, although either the church or himself was well able to hire a janitor, he served in that capacity himself for years on the principle of the man who talked to himself because he liked to talk to a sensible man and to hear a sensible man talk.

All who entertained miuis- ters and elders spoke of them in most complimentary terms, one enthusiastic host declared that if they were to come again next week it would be easy to find homes for them all. On the other hand, the commission ers were unrestrained in their express ions of appreciation. The town, the church, and the people all came in fora share of praise. __ NO. 11. TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS.
