Total Eclipse of the Moou.
A total eclipse of any one of the
heavenly bodies is the centre of uni
versal interest. The total eclipse of
the moou which occurs tonight is al
ready very much talked of and the
hope every where entertained is that
the weather may prove favorable so as
to afford a good view of the phenom
enon.
The eclipse will be visible over all
of North and South America. The
moon will enter the earth's shadow at
11.17 p. m.and the total eclipse will
begin nineteen minutes after mid
night. Those who wish to witness the
pheuomenou, therefore, will have to
make up their miud to forego a por
tion of their night's rest. The mid
dle of the eclipse will not occur uutil
1.03 a. in. aud the total phase will not
end antil 1:48 a. in., although the
moon will not entirely emerge from
the shadow uutil 2:50 a. m.
In a lunar eclipse occurring at 4'ull
moon such as the presont, or when the
sun is at a point in the heavens diam
etrically opposite and due to the moon
plunging into the great shadow cone of
the earth,the moon passes completely
within the conical shadow at a point
where it is about one and one-half
times the apparent angular diameter
of the moou. This accounts for the
length of the totality of eclipse of 1
hour and 29 minutes. Whether the
moon will disappear completely from
view or not during the total phase
will depend upon the general weather
conditions iu the portions of the at
mosphere about the earth through
which the sun will attempt to project
its rays. It may happen as it usually
does that the unabsoibed red rays
will be still bent into the shadow and
be cast on the surface of the moon
even during totality. The moon then
assumes a peculiar copper color.

0, Y, JAMES
HELD UP
An attempted hold-up, one of the
boldest that ever occuried in this city,
took place ou East Market street, with
in twenty-live yards of an arc light,
about 10 o'clock Monday night. The
I victim of the assault was U. Y. James,
the well-known East Market street
grocer.
Mr. James, who had been down town,
was returning home. At a point im
mediately in front of Raymond Keel
er's residence he met two men. He
took no particular notice of them
until they were directly abreast when
one of the two sprang upon him seiz
ing him by the bosom iu a vise-like
grasp and at the same time leveling a
revolver in his face. The highwayman
at the same moment hurled a vile
epithet at the man in his grasp and
demanded:
"Hand ovor all you're got!"
Mr. James says he was very badly
frightened. He had on his person a
large sum of money and he realized
that he was up against two robbers.
Yielding to a very natural impulse he
dropped his head upon his bosom to
escape the highwayman's aim, and
mastering all his strength broke away
from their grasp,at the same time cry
ing out, "murder!" at the top of his
voice
Mr. James says thero wero a number
of people still upon the street, within
rtaTrmjy msrirnnrv -trot im .—«
ed to apprehend it is peril. He thinks,
however, that his vigorous alarm sav
ed him, as the men made no effort to
continue the hold-up but walked up
East Market street while he fell back
towards Church street.
Thomas J. Price was standing in
front of his residence less than a square
from the scene of the hold-up. He
heard Mr. James cry out "murder".
He was inclined to think it was some
boys playing at the spot, although
there was a tone of desperation in the
voice that hardly indicated play. A
moment later the two men came walk
ing along. Mr. Price asked them what
the trouble was down at the corner.
"Oh there is a crazy fellow down
there yelling murder," they replied as
they leisurely turned down Cedar
street. A moment later Mr. James
came along aud told a story which
cleared up the whole affair.
The two highwaymen by that time
had disappeared. The police by this
time had been sent for and Mr. James
in ordei to keep ou track of the rob
bers hurried down Cedar street. He
soon caught sight of them. In passing
the residence of John Vastine one of
them stumbled over the door step and
fell sprawling. He was crippled some
what by the accident and w»s unable
to make very good time, so that the
two parted company, one going in the
direction of the silk mill,aud the oth
er disappearing in the opposite direc
tion.
Officers Mincemoyer aud Voris were
soon on the trail and distinguished
themselves not only by acts of person
al bravery but by rare sagacity iu con
ducting the pursuit, so that they suc
ceeded in running down the highway
men, although the latter had over half
an hour's start and had the darkness
of tho night as a shield.
Below the Vastine residence on Cedar
street they found one of the men ly
ing along the fence. He was quickly
taken into custody and handed over to
Constable Elijah Morgan by whom lie
was taken to the lock-up. The officers
continued their way to the Bessemer
Steel Plant, where they had reason to
believe a gang of tramps was encamp
ed. They prosecuted a diligent search
about the big plant exposed to consid
erable peril in the dark. Not finding
their men they retraced their steps to
East Market street where they encount
ered three desperate looking charact
ers, who moved off as the officers ap
proached.
"Hold ou !" called out Officer Voris.
As the officer spoke one of the trio
made a dash across the street, the
officer was too quick, however, and
while Chief Mincemoyer seized one of
the others Voris grasped the fellow
who was trying to get away. He seiz
ed the latter by the arm and as he
held him firmly he felt something hard
concealed iu his sleeve. An investiga
tion showed that it was a 3(5 (5-shooter,
which the fellow had ready for emer
gency. The officers by this time had
their hands full aud the third man
made his escape.
The two arrested were handcuffed
and brought down town. The one
taken by Officer Voris was positively
identified by Mr. James as the man
who drew the revolver upon him.
They were both placed iu jail.
Tho three men who were captured
Monday night by the polico on suspic
ion of holding up U. Y. James, on
East Market streot between Cedar aud
Church streets, were given a hearing
before Justice Oglesby Tuesday after
noon and were committed to the county
prisou to await trial.
The hearing room was crowded aud
many were unable to get in. The pris
oners were brought from the jail by
Chief of Police Mincemoyer, Officer
Voris and Officer Youug. They gave
their names as Andrew Lux, William
Green and Charles May and said their
homes were iu Shenandoah.
Tho first witness was Setli Freeze,
who testified that he met Green on
East Market street Monday night, lie
tween nine and ten o'clock. Green
said he was a striking miner aud ask
ed if Mr. Freeze conld do anything for
him. The latter replied that he would
see that Greeu got a supper. They sat
ou the steps of John Martin's store
aud Greeu pat his baud in Mr.
Freeze's pocket iu au effort to get
money. Mr. Freeze then got away
from the fellow, who went on down
Market street.
Mr. James was next sworn. He told
of being stopped by two men and of
running away from them. He identifi
ed Lux as the one who pointed a re
volver at hiin and said "Hand over
all you've got", but was unable to
say who the other man was.
Thomas J. Price said that lie saw
two men run up East Market street.
He heard Mr. James shout "murder"
aud as the men camo up asked what
was the matter. The shorter of the
pair replied: Oh, there's a crazy man
dowu there yelling murder". They
went down Cedar street and were
noarly a block away when Mr. James
came up and told of the attempt to rob
him. John L. Evans saw the men as
they crossed East Market street to
Cedar and identified Green as the oue
who answered the question asked by
Mr. Price.
A. C. Roat testified to hearing Mr.
James shout and hurried to his assist
ance. After the men got away he
came down street to notify the police
and to see that the fugitves did not
escape over the river bridge. Mr.
Price also telephoned to the police
about the affair. As the men ran down
Cedar street one fell over the steps at
tho residence of John Vastine,between
Front and Water streets. Green was
found by Officer Voris in the alley
back of the Vastine house. Ho was
brought to the jail by Constable Elijah
Morgan, of tho Second Ward, while
Officer Voris and Chief Mincemoyer
continued their search. They dis
covered three men below the canal
bridge on Beaver street and followed
them to East Market street. Tho offic
ers stopped the trio just below Kem
mer's hotel aud a revolver was found
in tho right sleeve of Lux. The other
was May, but the third man escaped
by runuing through Shepperson's coal
yard. The prisoners were brought
down town and placed in the jail.
Officer Voris was sworn and told of
1 1he search and its results,
j May was around town Monday with
j his right hand tied in bandages. He
\ solicited aid and said the fingers wore
[ LIOWM oil' ixiw liUllll wJiilo liu wius ut j
j work iu a quarry. Over a dollar iu
nickels and pennies was found in his
| pocket when lie was searched at the
jail. His hand is sound and shows no
j signs of au iujury.
I The information charging Lux and
Greeu with the hold-up »ud with
pointing a revolver was sworn to by
Mr. James, while Chief Mincemoyer
was the prosecutor against May ou tho
charge of fradulently asking for aid
and claiming to bo crippled. Lux aud
Green plead not guilty, but May said
ho was guilty. Five hundred dollars
bail was asked of each defendant in
the robbery charge, while the bond of
May was for two hundred dollars. As
none of the three could give bail they
were taken back to the county prisou.

A Convenience to Pedestrians.
Tho new vitrified brick crossing
over East Mahoning street between the
Post Office and the Groue building
was thrown open to travel Sunday
afternoon. The pavement in frout of
the Groue building, which was closed
for over a week while in process of
laying, was thrown open Saturday
night. The crossing and pavement be
ing restored to travel pedestrians en
joy a great convenience, which is
highly appreciated, especially dur
iug rainy weather when owing to the
mud it is not pleasant to step out into
the street.
Horses aud vehicles will not be per
mitted to pass over the crossing for a
day or so longer, until the bricks are
more firmly set. Besides some cob
bling aud a great deal of filling up are
necessary before the crossing can be
used by horses aud wagons.
But Little River Coal Extracted.
Now that winter is approaching and
the minors' strike is still unsettled,
aud a coal famine stares us in tho face
many of our citizens are heard to ex
press regret that an earlier effort was
uot made to gather coal from the riv
ei here. With fuel so much iu de
mand and a supply of coal so noar at
hand which could be had merely for
the labor of extractiug it, it is consid
ered very unfortunate that the first
half of October should have passed be
fore any coal was extracted more than
brought iu by a few row boats during
low water.
Mr. LeDuc expects to have his coal
digger at work in a day or so, but the
season is far advanced and next mouth
may bring wintry weather. His mach
ine at best can supply ouly a limited
quantity considering the enormous
demand in town.
Ward Kerns May Recover.
Harry Kerns has returned from
Pittsburg, where he went to see his
son, Ward, who is iu a hospital there
as the result of injuries received by
being struck by a trolley car. The
difficult operation of trephining was
performed on him successfully and
there is now a hope that he will re
cover. He was senseless for many days,
hut was conscious when his father ar
rived.
Funeral of Mrs. Halluian.
The funeral of Mis. Edward Hall
man was held from her late home, on
Bloom street, Tuesday afternoon and
was largely attended. Rev. G. E.

BOYS' DEPARTMENT
Of THE T. 11. (I. A.
The Y. M. O. A. hist Friday night
between the hours of i and 8 was
thronged with small boys, the occasion
being the second meeting ot' the Boys'
Bible Class for this season. One has
only to measure the scope of the teach
ing embraced in this Bible class and
to take into consideration the remark
able attendance to fully appreciate the
value of the work accomplished in tlie
boys' department of tho Y. M. C. A.
The class last season had a membership
of 2«7; last night already 111 were en
rolled for the present season.
The class is made op of hoys bet ween
the ages of !> and 15 years, who are
drawn in from eveiy part of town,
from homes religious and otherwise.
This intermingling lias a most benefic
ial effect upon the boys, who soon
learn to profit by example and to im
itate whal i. mo>t ( no.ibl i»
others. Thus the boy who may appear
in the class with uncombed hair, dirty
face and bauds, soon sees that lie is
conspicuous and his careless habits
give place to habits of tidiness and
cleanliness seen in others.
Constant attendance results in an
appreciation of religious truth and the
boy in time learns to distinguish that
which is right and proper from things
which are wrong and out of harmony
with the teaching of the bible. In
struction given is of the simplest form.
The boys are taught that it is a good
thing to bo honest, true and kind and
the result of the instruction is soon
apparent in more respectful conduct on
tho strot.Nearly all tho little fellows
have committed to memory the names
of the books of the Bible in their ord
er,the divisions of the Bible and many
special versos. What is especially
gratifying to General Secretary Lau
master, the teacher of the Boys' Bible
Class, is that the members as soon as
they roach tho age of fifteen are anx
ious to connect themselves with the
senior department of the Y. M. C. A.
Mrs. Emma McHenry is pianist of
the Boys' Bible Class and has faith
fully served for a number of years.
Howe's Moving Pictures.
Lyman's H. Howe's moving pictures
will appear at the Opera House on
November 13th under the auspices of
the Women's society of Saint Paul's
M. E. church.The Wilkesbarre Record
says:
There was standing room, and very
little of that,at Music Hall last even
ing, when Lyman H. Howe's moving
pictures opened their sixteenth
semi annual season, under t lie
auspices ol the Welsh Congrega
tional church. This is remarkable
business for here, when tho present
strike is taken into consideration, as
money is scarce. But then, the high
standard of Howe's previous exhibi
tions was some criterion togo by and
will always pack the theatre here,
strike or no strike. This season's
show is as far superior to his former
ones as day is of night. Sixty series
of pictures were shown and all were
better, finer and rarer than ever seen
here. The collection is certainly
magificient, consisting of the pick of
the besst and finest pictures made by
the world's greatest artists in Europe
and weie personally importd by Mr.
Howe, showing what photographic
gems can be secred when neither
money nor time is considered. Every
picture proved a winner and a
thorough surprise, as the subjects are
new, unique and novel, and depict
scenes in foreign countries thousands
of miles from America. The most im
pressive and interesting pictures of tho
evening were those showing the coro
nation of King Edward and Queen
Alexander and the scenes of pomp and
splendor leading up to and following
the coronation. This series alone is a
show in itself and it is a marvelous
reproduction of a scene that very rare
ly occurs and were it not for the pro
gressive moving picture artists the
scene of splendor could be gazed at
only by the wealthy and more fortu
nate.
NEIGHBORLY ADVICE.
Freely Given hy a Danville Citizen.
When one has suffered tortures from
a bad back and found out how the
aches and pains can be removed, ad

Mill Street, says:"For years 1 had
lameness over my kidneys and aching
in the small of my back. I used many
remedies, trying first one thing and
then another, but without being cur

STRIKE SETTLEMENT
NEAR AT HAND
President Mitchell will make no
statement concerning the probahl
tion of tlie union until lie receive the
official message from President Itoo • -
velt. Wilkesbarre staled that it is
thought there that the proposition
will not bo accepted in its pros: nt
form.
The operators have agreed to arbi
trate thi! coal strike and the end of tin
long struggle is now in sight. As a
result of the conference at Washington
between -T. Piorpont. Morgan,his busi
ness partner, Robert Bacon, Secret hv
of War Root and President Ho . velt
the operators propose that a com mis ■
ion of five persons be appointed by
President Roosevelt to adjust the diffi
culties between the miners and them
selves. The operators request
that work shall be resumed in
the mines immediately upon the ap
pointment of the commission. The
proposition as presented is a~ follows:
"We suggest a commission be ap
pointed by the President of tho Unit) d
States to whom shall ho referred all
questions at issm h> twecn the respec
tive companies and their own omploya s
whether they belong to a union or not
and the decision of that commission
shall be accepted by as."
Attached to Mi. Mitchell's proposi
tion was a prom is. of immediate r •
sumption of work and 11• stipn! tion
of an agreement on the ba i- of the
tribunal's award for :nv period from
one to five years.
Attached to tli operators' proposi
tion is a proposition to immedi.it Iy
return to work without discrimination
between union and non-union labor
and a promise to be governed hy the
award of the President's commission
for a term of at least three years.
The difference between the proposi
tions if there is any appreciable diff
erence is one of sentiment. Under an
agreement which Mr. Mitchell propos
ed there would have been a positive
recognition of the union. Under tlie
operators' proposition, Mr. Mitchell
and the Mine Workers' Union are re
cognized to the extent that they are
receiving the fame offer that tluy of
fered ten days ago.
No ono would dispute the point that
whatever concessions the operators
may he compelled to make under the
award of the President's commissi) n
the United Miue Workers ol Amerioa
will be given the credit therefor.
The operators, in a signed statement,
suggest that the committee should he
constituted as follows:
1. An officer in the engineer corps
of either the military or naval service
of the United States.
2. An expert mining engineer, ex
perienced in the mining 0 1 coal and
other minerals, and not in any way
conno ted with coalmining properties,
either anthracite or bituminous.
3. One of the Judges of the United
States courts of the eastern district of
Pennsylvania.
4. A man of prominence, eminent
as sociologist.
5. A man who by active participa
tion in mining and selling coal is fami
liar with the physical and commerci
al features of the business. It being
the understanding that immediately
upon the constitution of such commit
tee,in order that idleness and 11011-pro
duction may cea«e instantly, the min
ers will return to work and cea. ■ :ill in
terference with and persecution of non
union men who are working or shall
prefer to work. The findings of this
commission shall fix the date win n the
same shall be effective and shall gov
ern the condition of employment be
tween the respective companies and
their employes for a term of at least
three years.

President Roosevelt is delighted with
the outcome of the conference and feels
confident that the strike will soon he
over. The proposition must now be
submitted to a convention of the Mine
Workers' Union, for acceptance or re
ectiou. President Mitchell said
Tuesday afternoon Speaking without
reference to the statement issued by
the operators it is a rule of our organ
ization that no settlement can be marli
by the officers of the union without
the consent of a delegate convention."
The calling of such a convention is
the next step necessary in the negotia
tions for settlement.
From Shamokin, Mt. Carmel and
the Sclm ylkill region, Tuesday, cam
statements of gratification at the pros
pect of settlement. Officers of the Na
tional Guard think it likely that the
troops will remain in the region for
some time after the strike ends

of the hazard face of a young man
with unkempt hair, coat buttoned '

empty stump of a pipe in his mouth. i
"I wish to see Mr. Stafford."
"I'll ;'s iay name," said the young ;

come out to you on the landing."

table.
' The box or the bed?'* asked the host
airily.
"I shall sit down on the box if I
may,'' answered Mr. Clive.
'"Then I'll sit on the bed," said the
young man. "l take it this is not a so
cial visit. S'» I may ask again what is
your business with me?"
' May I first have the pleasure of of
feror-.' you a ciirarV" said the novelist,
reaching out his case.
'"Thanks," h > said shortly, as if he
could not trust, himself to further
speech. He lit the cigar at the sputter
ing candle and drew a deep breath of
satisfaction as he tasted its quality.
"It is well," said the novelist, "to be-
H'in our negotiations with a burnt of
fering, for I believe the suggestion
which cause)] me to make this visit
came from the father of fire himself,
whom I invoked this afternoon."
"You mean the devil. I wish he
would e mo and make an offer to me."
"lie has come for that purpose," re
plied the novelist.
"I s.iy You look more like Law
rence ('live, the novelist, than you do
like Satan.
"My friends tell me there is a like
iii ■. I may return t'i ■ compliment, if
it be one, b> venturing the opinion that
if you )!o not ;>>:>k like Lawrence Clive
you write like him."
"Ah," r plicil the young man, color
ing. "you have seen some of my work,
then. Are you an editor? No such
luck, 1 suppose."
"Xo stie]i luck," echoed the novelist,
"but I : : acquainted with some mem
ber- of the profession, and one of them
allowed i: to read a manuscript of
yours. I was struck by the remarka
ble imitations of the writings to Mr.
Clive.
"Yes," cried the older man, spring
ing to his feet and pacing up and down
the ro an as the other had done a short
time 1» fore, smiting his hands togeth
er: "yes, of the Clive of thirty years
ago. Once Lawrence Clive was a
writer. Today he is a cucumber of the
ground, pourins forth trash that no
sane man would care to read.
"('live* has a name," continued the
novelist, "which doubtless he does not
value and w< tild gladly exchange it
for the qualities you possess, taking
the risk 112 the starvation. So that you
may say nothing further about Mr.
Cliv ■ which might embarrass you after
ward 1 will now admit that I am he."
"Good heaven!" cried the young man
aghast, stopping short in his walk.
"Do not let us flatter each other,"
the no lis; said. "I am a man with a
name which I cannot now justify and
yet with a vain dishonesty that leads
me to tempt it. You are a convicted
plagiarist through necessity. I am the
devil tempting you, and you succumb.
You are the devil tempting me, and 1
succumb.
"I ask you to leave this wretched
hole and be nominally my private sec
retary. From now on till the day I
die you shall write my stories, and I
shall put my name to them. We will
share the profits equally, as honest
devils should. I have no flaming pen
to put signatures to a contract, so our
compact must be a verbal one. My
carriage is at the door. Will you comeV''
The literary critics shortly after were
delighted to record their opinion that
the veteran Lawrence Clive had quite
returned to his old form again.
Took Her Literally.
Thomas had been a carpenter, but
owing to dullness in trade he eugaged
as footman in the "big lioose" in the
village.
On the day of his engagement bi»
mistress, having a lady visitor In the
drawing room, rang the bell for the
footman.
"Yon will show this lady to the front
door, Thomas," she said.
"Yes mem." replied Thomas, and,
bowing to the ladv, he requested her
to follow him On coming to the door
Thomas opened it, and the lady was
about to pass out when Thomas, tap
ping her on the shoulder, remarked:
"This is the door, mem. Good pitch

Saving Grain.
Ilorses a 1 moderate farm work can
be kept in good condition on partly
cured clover and one third the usual
i rain ration. We have been trying this
scheme au. in this year on account
of the limb price of feed, and certainly
the horses are satisfied with the ar
rangement. They like the green clover
better th.r the cut ■ d. and a single cut
ting keeps for several days in piles in
the barn.- Practical Farmer.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Tnir Prospect* For Winter APIIICN.
Present Indications point to a fair
crop of winter apples, taking the coun
try generally. U< ports from local cor
respondents to American Agricultur
ist are of varying tenor. Only a few
indicate a full crop, but the majority
speak of an average crop, ranging
from 10 to 75 per cent. There Las been
ha unusual amount of dropping, which
in some sections had not ceased by
iAug. 1. Scab, fungus and insects
nave been serious in many sections,
but not troublesome in others.
The outlook in the apple growing
section of western New York is gener
ally better than els< where, and a crop
as good as any since 189G is indicated.
Conditions are so variable, however,
that it is difficult to accurately judge
the probable crop. Some orchards are
well loaded, while others in the same
town will give a very light yield. In
eastern New York the crop will not
exceed 50 per cent of an average one.
There are only fair prospects in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Indications
in Indiana are from one-third to one
half a crop. Illinois prospects are
good. Kansas returns only to 40
per cent of an average and the Ozark
region about the same. New England
conditions are generally fair to good,
Connecticut being somewhat lighter
thi.n New Hampshire and Maine. On
tario will probably have more apples
than KMX), but the spot, or scab, is l»ad.
Stomach Worms In Sheep.
Professor W. L. Carlisle of the Wis
consin experiment station in his lecture
on"The Production and Judging of
Sheep" at the Graduate School of Agri
culture said: "A German farmer of
Wisconsin accidentally discovered what
so far in ray experiments has been
both a preventive and specific for the
stomach worm, with no bad n suits.
Tlie remedy is this: Finely pulverized
tobacco mixed with salt and kept be
fore them all the time as a preventive.
As a specific two tablespoonfuls even
ly distributed through two pounds of
grain per day. This will be sufficient
for two to four sheep."
We have no right to question the
truth of Ihe statement so far as Pro
fessor Carlisle's own experience goes,
but would advise shepherds and flock
masters togo slow at first. We do
know that cured tobacco will kill cat
tle and also that they will eat it, all re
ports to tli" atrary.—National Stock

Co: * C(!ivs.
We have seen farmers who thought
it very smart for Shop r Tige to
round up the cows, barking and nip
ping at their heels ami sending them
living into the barnyard as though
landed there by a cyclone. Then the
owner wondered why his best cow
should give bloody milk. Some cows
can stand such treatment without in
jury. The muscular old brindle, whose
near ancestors considered it amusement
to drive wild beasts from the pasture,
will not be harmed by an argument
with the dog. In fact, the dog stands
an equal chance of getting rough
usage. But one dose of such treatment
may entirely spoil a high strung Jer
sey. The dog and the yelling hired
man are out of place in a high grade
herd.—Rural New Yorker.
The 801 l Weevil.
One of the strongest incentives to
diversification of crops in the cotton
belt is the boll weevil, says an ex
change. That it will always be a pest
ineradicable by human effort is the
opinion of our best entomologis. That
it may be rendered comparatively
harmless by persistent and intelligent
effort is also the opinion of experts,
but this effort will cost something and
proportionately reduce the profits of
cotton growing. Tins, however, may
be overcome by smaller areas, better
cultivation and heavier yields per am
