Tills and That.
It is said that the Union Lace Mill
company contemplates the election of
an addition to the mill and the addi
tion of about twenty moio machines.
The management will say nothing con
cerning the report, but It As s.ald that
plans for tho addition are being pre
pared. Wilkes-Rai re Record,
H. S Mayo, general organizer of
the Textile Workers of America, Is in
the city making arrangements to ad
dress a mars meeting of silk woikers
In th near future. The time and place
will be announced In the neusnaneis.
Matters pertaining to their Interest
will be thoroughly discussed.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad company
has under contemplation the awarding
of an Immense contract at Glen Onoko.
The contract means tho excavation
and removal of three hundred and llfty
thousand square yaids of earth and
rock, and would mean a year's steady
work. The cleared space would be
used for yard tiackage purposes.

Astronomer:, and Scientists
Eageily Awaiting tho Coming
of May 28.
On May "S there will be an eclipse
of the sun. Twice a year it Is obscured
by the moon, but It Is very seldom
that the phenomenon Is visible along
a fifty mile stilp of country, fiom New
Orleans to Norfolk, Va offering bet
ter opportunities for study by scien
tists than any eclipse within a genera
tion. Extraordinary preparations are being
made, therefore, for observation. Pro
fessors Pickering, of Harvard; Stone,
of Virginia; Hale, of the Yorkcs obser
vatory, aio among the eminent as
tronomers who will take records of the
eclipse with spectroscopes, camoias and
many other scientific instruments. Eu
ropean scientists will also he In the
field, their stations being In Spain and
Algicis, whoie the path of darkness
will move after Its (light across the
Atlantic ocean.
In this city wo will not see the total
eclipse. Wo will see four-fifths of the
sun's surface obscured n'y the shadow
of the moon, the phenomenon lasting
from about 7.30 till about 10 o'clock In
tho morning. Tho nearest approach to
daikncss when only one-fifth of light
will escape tho black shadow will be
between S.30 and 9 o'clock. It will be
dark enough to compel the use of arti
ficial light for at least an hour.
In New Oilcans, Mobile, Montgomery,
Atlanta, Columbia, Rallcgh, Norfolk
and other places In that belt there will
be such a sight as men have traveled
half-way around the globe to witness.
For something like two minutes "the
sun will be turned Into darkness." A
puiple twilight will settle down and
where the glaring sun was will hang
a ring of lire, the centre aydlsk black
as midnight.
To witness that strange, glorious
spectacle, scientists will spend thou
sands of dollars and weeks of arduous
preparation. In the "few seconds that It
lasts they hope to be able to gather
data that will advance science Incal
culably. Should tho day be cloudless,
they will obtain photographs of price
less value. These may solve two great
questions first, whether there Is a
planet between Mercury and the sun,
and second, the cause and composition
of the sun's cotona.
As to the corona of the sun, that
dazzling halo of lire which is seen only
in eclipse, science is to this day able
only to theorize. Some astronomers be
lieve It to be an envelope of hydrogen
gas, others that it is an electrical dis
turbance similar to the aurora borealls.
The observations and photographs to
be obtained this month may solve this
problem, a puzzle for generations.

Ridiculous and Unfair.
General Passenger Agent T. W. Leo
denies that tho Lackawanna has been
guilty of any of tho Irregularities prac
ticed In issuing tickets or in soliciting
or; handling passenger travel over the
Lackawanna. Ho says:
"The alleged stocking of tho mar
kets In the northwest with split tickets
had just this for a basis, that nn er
ror occurred In bur rate department In
specifying tho wrong form of ticket.
This ws Immediately rectified ns soon
an It became known. A few open tick
ets were sold Instead of the Iron-clad
ticket Tho total number sold to all
kinds of passengers to Sioux Falls was
twenty-five. Chairman McLeod, of the
Western Passenger association, and
Chairman Donald, of the Central Pas
senger association, were Immediately
notified anu reuuested to redeem any
tickets found on the market, as was
General Passenger Agent Callaway,
of the 'Soo' line, himself.
"The exception taken by certain east

ticket case In Chicago filled with dum
my tickets Is absurd. We are adhering
rigidly to our fixed policy of main
