Only the Proverbial Early Bird Witnesses the Eclipse Small Portion of Sun Obscured Just at Hour of Rising; Darkest Russia Indeed Dark Today Did you see the eclipse this morn ing? • It's dollars to doughnuts you didn't, unless you happened to be an early hlrd In search of the worm, a milk man, a morning paper boy. or such. For Just the fraction of a minute this morning Harrisburg had only a part of a sun to light the firmament. This was Just at the hour of sunrise, •when an exceedingly small portion of the upper part of the disk was hidden hy the shadow of the moon. This eclipse is total In some parts of the earth, and will be observable BEmiLL NURSERY ~ BURNS HI STORM [Continued from First Page.] v —— with redoubled intensity. During the first stsorm. which lasted forty-five minutes, .92 inches of rain fell, while during the second downpour, which continued for an hour and twenty minutes, 1.37 Inches of rain fell. The total rainfall was 2.29 Inches during a little more than two hours. Furious Wind Causes Heavy Ix>sse& A furious wind accompanied the storm and the damage resulting was due as much to the gale as to the lightning. The air seemed to be sur charged with electricity. Lights were blown out, trolley cars were stalled "when fuses went, wires were blown down, and a general demoralization resulted In electric utilities. This morning repairmen and linesmen were busy setting things to rights. Lightning knocked a hole through the roof of the Enola Y. M. C. A. and rain flooding through the hole did considerable damage. The Enola res taurant was struck by lightning. The bolt went into the kitchen and started n blaze. Slight damage resulted, but it is said that a lot of pies on the counter weer turned upside down by the freakish bolt of lightning. Barns Burned Three barns in Cumberland county were destroyed, the blaze being visible to residents across the river. A barn on Hogentogler's farm near Enola was burned down, and a loss of SIO,OOO resulted. All the gTain harvested this year was consumed. Several horses and cows perished in the blaze. Elec tric bolts struck many trees through out the town, splintering huge branches, and the wind completed the destruction, casting them long dis tances and littering the streets and; pavements. An electric bolt struck the roof of Jerauld's shoe store at 310 Market street and tore away the tin, permitting the water to enter the upper floor. Havoc In the Suburbs Throughout the suburbs the wind and lightning played havoc over a Wide area. Probably windswept Pax tonia suffered worst. In addition to the burning of the Berryhill Nursery, the barn of the Paxtonia Hotel and a part of the hotel were blown down, i while Fishburn's warehouse went over in the gale. A stable and an-1 other house also were partly demol ished. At Camp Hill a double chimney in the home of Adam Egolf was struck and its shattered pieces crashed through the roof. The homes of Enos Smith and Harry Evinger, at Duncan non, were struck by lightning. Feed Wire Ablaze The home of George Hetrick. near Penbrook. was struck twice, the first bolt tearing away the chimney and the second tearing out window sashes and breaking several windows in the house. The feed wire of the Harris burg Light and Power Company at Penbrook was struck and blazed for LESS MEAT Advice of Family Physician Formerly people thought meat nec essary for strength and muscular vigor. The man who worked hard was sup posed to require meat two or three times a day. Science has found out differently. It is now a common thing for the family physician to order less meat, as in the following letter from a N. Y. man: "I had suffered for years with dys pepsia and nervousness. My physician advised be to eat less meat and greasy foods generally. I tried several things • '»vi, tho of my usual break fast of chops, fried potatoes, etc., but got no relief until I tried Grape-Nuts food. After using Grape-Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years, lam now a well man. Grape-Nuts benefited my health far more than the rriedioine I had taken before. "My wife and children are healthier than they had been for years, and we ere a verv happy family, largely due to Grape-Nuts. "We have been so much benefited by Grape-Nuts that it would be un gTatefu! not to acknowledge it." Name given by Poatum Co., Battle 'Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to 'Wellville," In pkgs.

Repair Light Service With repair gangs, linemen and electric motor trucks busy practically all night the Harrisburg Light and Power Company this afternoon had restored entirely its sen-ice in this city ' and surrounding towns which had i been interrupted in places by last night's unprecedented electric and wind storm. Some falling wires at Third and Briggs street caused a cessation for a brief space of the service in some circuits in the upper end of the city. This occurred during the first storm and the damage had just about been repaired when the second storm caused a similar tie-up a short dis- I tance away. The electric company's i motor and motorcycle gangs were on duty constantly. This also applied to Steelton and in the vicinity of Pax ! tang. "We have the damage cleared up 1 I think." said Edgar S. Wallower, su perintendent of construction to-day, "our working force was out all night and this morning. Our lines are in such shape that as a rule we have little trouble, but last night's storm was unprecedented. No, we had no trouble at the plant, our lightning I protective system safely guarding the 1 plant and employes from the flashes." I Has Narrow Escape Some remarkable stories were be- I Ing recalled to-day of narrow escapes i from falling trees, crossed wires, i etc., during last night's storm but one I of the most thrilling perhaps was | told by Squire J. H. Syrock, a clerk in the county commissioners' office , whose home is in Eighteenth street near Walnut. "During the height of the storm i we saw an automobile turn the corner lof Eighteenth and Walnut streets," 1 said the squire, "which contained two | men and two women. Just as the car cleared the corner a tree at the en trance to Reservoir Park crashed I across the street, just missing the ! motor car by a bare few inches. The | occupants probably never knew of their narrow escape because they hurried right along." In the neighborhood of Paxtonia i the storm did fearful damage and among the private residences that suf fered severely was the bungalow of ;E. J. Dare. The roof and the front \ of this structure were blown off and : the remallng walls this morning alone i surrounded the furniture in the bun j galow. i 20,000 People in Panic at Lebanon Fair When Storm Broke Over City Special to The Telegraph Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 20.—A terrific thunderstorm, accompanied by a de luge of rain, at 6 o'clock on Thursday evening put an unexpected end to the ! greatest day in the history of the Leb |anon Valley Fair.

Antwerp Populace Is Preparing to Defend City Against Invaders By Aseccwted Press London, Aug. 21, 9.20 A. M. —The correspondent of the Times at The Hague says: "The preparations for the defense of Antwerp extend over an enor mous area. All classes in the city are joining in the work day and night but there is no sign of panic or con fusion. "The gates driven through the walls by a peace-loving people are closed while this work of preparation goes doggedly forward. Antwerp It self offers a strong contrast. At almost every window appear English, Belgian and French flags giving a festive air to the city which is pre paring to resist to the last gasp." Fifteen Women Killed by Explosion of Shell By Associated Press Stockholm, via. London, Aug. 21 7:10 A. M. The captain of a Swedish steamer which has just arrived from Libau, tells the following story of the bombardment of the Russian seaport by the German fleet: "It was on a Sunday evening that the rain of fire began to fall on the city. The townspeople were thrown in to a panic. They ran into the streets and other places because their houses were falling and burning. "Fifteen women, who were seated on a pile of lumber, were all klled by the explosion of a single shell. The bom bardment continued for two hours. Many buildings and bridges were de stroyed."

Inspection Cordially Invited, No Obligation to Buy NEWSPAPER WARNS AGIST FUSION [Continued from First Pi extent of its ability. It will not sus tain or defend a scheme obviously de signed to seduce the Democracy of Pennsylyania In the Interests of a movement to almost immediately overthrow the work of the Wilson Ad ministration and return the country to the Republican policies of Sir. Roosevelt, his Immediate successor, and all of his Republican predeces i sores in control of the government at Washington. "No Democratic candidate, no rep resentative of a Democratic commit tee, can consent to a commitment of the Democracy of Pennsylvania to this plan without raising in the minds of other Democrats questions of the sin cerity of his professions of devotion to the cause of Democracy. "The Democratic ticket can be elect ed upon a platform devoted to the principles of Democracy and the record of achievements of the Wilson Administration. It will have less show of success if its candidates, or any of the leaders of the party, enter into apy deal with the defamers of Democracy and the most unfair of President Wilson's critics as repre sented by the Washington party, in Pennsylvania and its national leader, Theodore Roosevel'. "The recent primary contest in Pennsylvania has not been forgotten. Democratic factions contending for the several party nominations were almost equally divided, and there are many factional wounds of that bitter contest yet unhealed. We have won dered why the victors have not taken the necessary steps which good judg ment and proper zeal for Democratic success have suggested to heal these wounds. If it was because there was a secret deal on between Demo cratic leaders and Bull Moose leaders In the interests of this proposed im possible fusion arrangement, we hope better judgment will suggest an im mediate change of front. Such a deal, carried out, will again further divide the Democratic factions, and there will be renewed whetting of knives by belligerents who in the interests of Democracy ought to be working in harmony. "It is futile to hope for this Demo cratic harmony, without which none of the Democratic candidates for State offices can be elected, and in the ab sence of which the Democratic repre sentation from Pennsylvania in Con gress will be much reduced, except through appeal to the party loyalty of Pennsylvania Democrats. If we are to succeed it must be upon the broad platform of united devotion to the Administration of President Wilson. On that issue the Pennsylvania Dem ocrats of all factions are united, and can be counted to fight together against the common enemy as repre sented by both wings of the Republi can party. If the issue is changed it will be at the sacrifice of principle." TWICE AS MANY ARE ASKING CHARITY AID [Continued from First Page.] more money, for the Ice fund.

TOO MUCH TANGO CAUSES NEURALGIA Violent neuralgia of tho head gen erally attacks overworked women who lack sufficient sleep, fresh air and red blood. With the prevalent craze for danc* ing at all times and places it is becom ing noticeable that women whose blood is thin—anaemic —become subject to neuralgic pains when they dance too much and rob themselves of sleep and open-air exercise.
