m THE PITTSBTJEG DISPATCH, MONDAY,, JANUARY 14, 1889. !C 3 ' rT i TO WATCH HER LADYSHIP.. Sclcneo Hai Scheduled the Moon nnd She Must BebaTe A Seven-EIgliths Dark- enlnff on the Sixteenth. Eclipses, like misfortunes, never come singly, and a darkening of the tun is almost always followed by an obscuring of the moon after an interval of about 15 days. The earth generally' obscures her fair sister but partially by getting between her and the sun, and this is the case on the 16tb, when but a portion of the moon will pass through the shadow. A schedule of the lady's movements is given as follows: Moon enters penumbra January 16, at 937 r. M.; enters umbra at lOiSi P. M.; middle of eclipse, 00.29 a. m.; leaves umbra 2 A. m., and smiles again serenely at 3:21A.M. The moon's entrance into the penumbra trill scarcely be noticed at the time given, but at 11 o'clock it will distinctly be seen. Even in a total eclipse the body of the moon is illuminated by a lurid, reddish light which reaches the moon by reflection from the earth's atmosphere. "When the moon is partially obscured, this reddish light is visible, but very faint. At the darkest portion of this eclipse, the moon will have seven-tenths of her face hidden. Eclipses are always ot more or less s-cientific use, although the'benefits derived from an eclipse of the moon cannot be compared to those accruing from a sun eclipse on account of the latter being such an unknown quan tity, comparatively speaking. A WORTHY PHIEST ON TEMFERAKCE. Father Lambing' Lecture nt tho St. Slary of Mercy's Church. "WhenEev.FatherLambing.attheopening of his address oniemperance, in the St. Mary of Mercy's Church, last night said he was glad that so many people were in the church, and even in the hallway and on the steps, he spoke of a very evident fact, for the edifice at the corner of Third avenue and Ferry street was packed. The fact that Father Lambing was the pastor of that congregation years ago had brought a great many of his old friends to the church to hear him. He commenced his discussion with the words of Job, saying that life is a continued warfare between right and wrong, good and evil. Defining evil, he spoke of the passions of mankind, and while he characterized impurity as the greatest evil, he regarded intemperance as the one which can be most effectively com bated by law or other means. In describ ing the combat, he called attention to the enemies and friends of temperance, and con 'cluded by illustrating to his audience the iglorious " result which would inevitably follow, because it was a fight pleasant in the sight of God, and hence sure to be suc cessful. At the close a very large number of the congregation took the pledge. A collection was also made for the benefit of Father Lambmg's congregation in "Wilkinsburg, who contemplate the rebuilding of their church, which burned down only three weeks ago. HARRISON AND MORTON. They Will be Officially Elected by the Na tional College To-Day. Harry S. Paul, President of the Ameri cus Club, and George Shiras. Jr., both of whom are Republican Presidental electors, left last night for Harrisburg to attend the meeting of the Electoral College at that place to-day. Although Harrison and Morton were elected by a popular vote some months ago, yet their election will not be official until the College meets. The members will as semble and cast their ballots. After the 30 votes are counted the result will be announced and the ballots put in a sealed envelope. One of the members will then be appointed to carry the .ballots to the department at Washington, where the result will be officially announced, as 'also from other States that go through the formula, r" MAUGHER RESIGNS. The Well-Known Hotel Manager Leaves the Albemarle House. W. E. Maugher, Manager of the Albe marle Hotel and formerly chief clerk at the Seventh Avenue Hotel in this city, has re signed his position at the former house. He isconsidering several offers from good hotels in different parts of the State, and will probably accept one near Pittsburg. He will be" succeeded at the Albemarle by Samuel Hayden, formerly manager of the hotel: FOR CONSTIPATION Uso Horsford'g Acid Fbosphatc. Dr. J. R. Fortson, Kiowa, Ind. T., says: T have tried it for constipation, with success, and think it worthy a thorough trial by the pro fession."
