ECLIPSE WAS ECLIPSED HERE.
Clouds Prevented More Than ft Brief
Peep at the Phenomenon.
Owing to the htavy clouds this lo

a peep at the solar eclipse yesterday.
Shortly after 0 o'clock the sun passed
over a clear bit of blue and for the
brief duration of this transit thousands
doubtless enjoytd the beautiful and
Inspiring spectacl.
Fortunately, very favorable atmos

of total obscurity, where the country's
greatest astronomers had located them
selves and we are thus enabled to
make up somewhat for our disappoint

KIT OF THE CENSUS TAKER
It Is a Rathor Formidable Ono and
Will Weigh Two Pounds.
What It Contains.
The census enumerator will soon ton
at your door, following out tho Instruc
tions laid down by the commissioner
of census, In order to learn what kind
of people Inhabit tho United States.
The enumerator has a task that Is not
tho most congenial, and there are con
nected with his work a great many de
tails that are not fully appreciated by
the outside world.
The outfit of an enumerator la rathor
a formidable affair. The chief article
Is a portfolio about 15 by 20 Inches m
sire when shut. When opened tho port
folio forms a lap desk Just tho size of
the largest sheat upon which the data
are to be written.
Inside the cover of tho portfolio on
one side Is a full set of Instructions to
tho enumerator to help him In doing his
work. On the other side Is a descrip
tion of the enumerator's territory In
some eases accompanied by a map.
Folded within the portfolio are the
"popular schedules" upon which the
popular data will be placed. Upon the
left side of the sheet nro to bo placed
tho names taken and to the right tho
answers to about twenty questions are
to follow. Fifty names can bo placed
on each side of the sheet, and as 100
will constitute a fair day's work, a
single sheet will contain them nil.
There are, however, other blanks to
fill, and In some of theso difficult work
will bo experienced. In all districts
special Information will bo gathered
concerning physical peculiarities, such
as blindness and deafness. In the
country districts the manufacturing In
dustries are to bo mada out upon .one
sheet and the farming Industries upon
another. Each farm Is to havo a sep
arate sheet.
The kit the enumerator will havo to
carry will not weigh over two pounds
and can easily be attached to a bicycle,
which many use. "With each kit Is a
metallic badge about the size of a sil
ver dollar. The design Is of a poised
eagle bearing a shield with the Inscrip
tion, "United States Census, 1000."
Two sets of dally report cards bear
ing consecutive dates from Juno 1 to
tho time when tho work is finished,
which Is thirty days In tho country and
fifteen In tho city, aro furnished tho
enumerators. One of theso reports 1
sent to tho supervisor of the district
and tho other to the director of the
census at "Washington.
Tho dally report cards aro to bo filled
with the number of names, farms and
shops, taken during the day and tho
number of hours consumed In the work.
The purpose of the report Is to enablo
the supervisor of tho district to keep
watch of the progress of tho work and
to enable him to call to account or dis
charge the enumerators who aro not
doing their duty.

NOW IT'S A "RUBBER SALE."
Novel Schome of the Homo for tho
Friendless to Malco Money.
Te who have old rubbers to spare-,
prepare to spare them nowl
Rubber Is going ut by big bounds,
and the supply is nowher near equal
to the demand. The wide-awake man
agers of the Home for the Friendless
saw this and concelvoi the Idea of
having It redound to the benefit of
their most deserving Institution. Havo
tho school children gather up all the
old, discarded rubber shoes, boots, hose,
neeks or anything like that, bring
them to the school, deposit them with
the Janitor and have him turn them
over to some friend or the home who
has a wagon, tho time and a will to go
about collecting tho rubber harvest.
The necessary permission was grant
ed by the board of control, and Presi
dent Jayne, who transmitted the re
quest from Mrs. Chamberlain, of tho
home management, was directed to tell
the managers they could make what
ever arrangements would best suit
themselves, and begin their rubbering
Just as son as they pleased.
It Is confidently expected that $1,000
will b eltared by the scheme.

Oommittoo Reports.
Thanks to tho fortunata circum
stances that there If plenty of Invest
ment money lying around, the Scran
ton BChool district will succeed In float
ing Its 3100,000 Issue of four and one
half per cent, bonds at a loss of not
more than 310,000. When the bids wero
opened by the finance committee yes
terday afternoon an offer was disclosed
from Dick Brothers & company, of
riilU'idelphla, of 323,450 premium, and
on tne recommendation of the commit
tor the offer was accepted at last
night's regular meeting.
It Is the biggest premium ever paid
for a Scranton city or school board
bond and the biggest ever paid for a
similar bond In Pennsylvania,
This Is not saying, however, that It
s the best Investment ever made, as
the llnanclors will aver. The bonds
could have been floated at three and
one-half per cent., and fully 310,000
saved thereby. A threo and one-halt
per cent, bond would have called for
a premium of about $5,000. Hy paying
higher Interest a larger premium Is
secured. In the present Instance a
one ptr cent. Increase In the rate of
Interest brings an additional $18,000
ready money. The district needed tho
ready money, and hence the high rnto
of Interest. Bonds calling for a high
premium art not popular with invest
ors, and the school district Is to-.bo
congratulated on Its good fortuno In
offering Its bonds at an opportuno
time.
TIIK VAIUOUS BIDS.

years and two months. Thir
ty thousand dollars worth mature In
twenty-six years; $SO,000 worth In
twenty-eight years, and $10,000 worth
in thirty years.
On motion of Mr. Jennings the
finance committee was instructed to
stipulate with tho purchaser that the
money for the bonds should bo deliv
ered here. This was to avoid the trou
ble and annoyance of the committee
and the fiscal officers going to Philadel
phia with the seals, and the responsi
bility of carrying the money back.
A suggestion was made that the
finance committee bo empowered to
award tho bonds to the next highest
bidder in case Dick Brothers & Com
pany failed to take them. Captain
May called attention to the possibility
of tho highest bidder forfeiting tho
$1,000 guarantee check and making a
deal with the next highest bidder, who
Is $2,000 below them, whereby the
bonds could bo gotten Just as readily
at a saving of the difference between
the amount of the forfeit check and
tho $2,000 variance between tho highest
and next highest bidder. Tho sugges
tion was forthwith put aside.
BIDS OPENED.
Bids were opened at tho board meet
ing for tho contract to furnish 1,000
school desks, tho board to havo the
prlvllego of purchasing more or less
at will for the prices namod In the
proposals. There were four bidders.
Hill & Conncll quoted prices ranging
from $2.65 to $3.15: P. E. Flood, of
Wllkes-Barre from $2.70 to $3.00; n. C.
Evans, of Chicago, from $2.75 to $3.05,
and tho W. H. Andrews company, of
Chicago, $2.54 to $2.84, with an extra
charge of 75 cents on each desk If they
arc made adjustable.
The bids wero referred to the build
ing committee. To make It feasible to
enforce the ten year guarantee, Mr.
Jennings had the committee Instructed
to put a clauso In the contract stipulat
ing that the date of the sale of the
goods be blown Into the castings.
The board again denied the uso of
the high school auditorium for other
than school purposes. Professor Hydn
Dvans wanted It for a recital, offering
to pay all the expenses and allow tho
athletic association to collact an ad
mittance fee, but the board wouldn't
havo It.
The high school cdmmlttca reported
favorably upon the proposition to pub
lish a high school manual at a cost
not to exceed $150, and tho board gave
Its approval. Mr. Schwass, for the

Professor Edward Flood, of the High
school faculty, last night read nn ex

pervades the work of the poet and
also to his great devotion to the south.
He read selections from several of
the poet's poems, Including "The Sword
of Robert Lee" and "Erin's Flag." It

WERE ENTERTAINED
AT LAKE CLEMO
PLEASANT DAY SPENT AT
THAT RESORT.
Numbor of Men from This City and
Its Violnity Were tho Quests of
tn Iiake Olemo Roal Estatd Com
pany at Their New Property, High
Up Among: the Hills of Wayno
County Lake Oovors Ono Hundred
Acrss and Has a Whits Sand Bot
tom. At Lako Clemo, Wnyno county, a
party of men from this city nnd Its
vicinity wero entertained yesterday by
tho Lako Clemo Real Estate compnny,
which is comprised of the following:
Colonel Ezra II. Ripple, County Treas
urer M. J. Kelly, ex-Senator M. E. Mo
Donald, of this city, and Oscar Yost
and E. W. Bishop, of Dunmore. It
was tho occasion for the formal open
ing to the public of the lake and a
hotel which has been erected by the
company near tho shores of tho lake.
There are many fine bodies of land
locked water In this part of tjie state,
but none that In some respects com
pare with Lako .Clemo. Its most strik
ing characteristic Is Its bottom of line
white sand, which gave tho lake for
many years the local name of Sand
pond. It Is fed by springs nnd Is ns
clear ns crystal. The water ranges In
depth from a few Inches to seventy
feet and so clear and pure Is It that
even In tho deepest parts tho bottom
can be seen.
This lake was greatly admired and
ought by the Indians, who called It
Umbagog, meaning clear. Many of
them believed its waters contained
great curntlve powers. Tho lake cov
ers ono hundred acres and Is set high
up among the hills, 1,700 feet above
sea level and surrounded on all sides
by gently rising foothills that fade
away and lose their Identity In tower
ing mountains that seemed to shut tho
In he nnd Its peaceful surroundings out
from the noise and turmoil of tho
world Somewhat oval In shape, the
lake is almost girt around by a beau
tiful forest, In which a picnic ground
Is to be fitted up.
ROAD TO THE LAKE.
By the turnpike road the lake Is
two miles from Clemo station on tho
Erie and Wyoming Valley railroad. A
board-walk has been built up the hill
side which reduces the distance to tho
lako to the pedestrian to one mile and
the company has had a survey made
of a boulevard to the station that
will be but one and one-quarter mlle3
In length.
This boulevard will skirt the 1 'nlc
ground and tho corner of the lako md
end nt tho hotel, which stands on a
slight eminence several hundred feet
southeast of tho lake. In the winter
tlmo the path cut through tho woods
for the board-walk will be used for
sliding Ice from tho lake down to tho
railroad.
Tho company owns two hundred
acres of land besides tho lake and has
planned some extensive Improvements,
the work on which has practically
only begun. The first step was the
erection of a twenty-live room hotel,
with all modern Improvements, In
cluding gas, which Is now open under
the management of Byron Simons. It
is roomy and home-like, with broad
piazzas from which a grand view of
tho flno sweep of landscape Is ob
tained. A number of row boats have
been placed on the lake and a boule
vard Is to be built around It one hun
dred feet or so back from the water's
edge. The lots for cottages will run
from the boulevard to tho lake. Tho
place Is Intended more ns a family
resort and for cottagers rather than
for a general excursion resort and tho
Improvements will be mado with that
idea In mind.
LOCATION OF LAKE.
Lake Clemo Is four and one-half
n lies from Lake Ariel and seven from
Honcsdale and is connected with both
places by good roads. Tho lake Is
well stocked with pickerel and perch
and telow the outlet a trout pool is
now be ng constructed.
The party that went over to tho lako
yesterday left here in a special car at
8.46 a. m. and returned to tho city last
evening. At tho lake the entertaining
was done by Messrs. Yost, Kelly, Bish
op and McDonald. Those in the party
were: Francis Herring, Orangevlllo,
