Loves Young Dream.

A BRIDAL couple, with more style
about them than grass widow, hon
ored the Indiana House with their pres
ence two or three days during the past
week. They gave the dining-room a
mighty tony look by marching in at
meal-time arrayed in their new clothes,
with white gloves on, and when old man
Ryman first saw them he took one
square look and then set down his cof-
fee-pot and went out into the kitchen
and laughed until his eyeballs felt
pointed. In that supreme moment he
felt that he was paid ten times over with
compound interest for all the trials,
vexations and unpaid board bills en-.
countered in his hotel experience since
he left the old farm,

To-day, the benefactors of the peoplezthe

The best way to induce sleep is to
shut your eyes and think of nothing.
An old man told his minister that he
did this one Sunday morning while he
was preaching, and that it worked nd
mirably. The minister asked him why
he did not think of the sermon, and
the old man replied naively that that
was just what he was thinking about,
and that it was SO near to nothing that
the difference could not be perceived,
and SO he dropped off into quiet and
refreshing slumber.

THE QUAKER GRATE-YARD.

Four straight brick walls. severely plain,
quiet city square surround;
4 level space of nameless graves,
The Quakers' burial-.ruund.
In gown of gray or coat Of drab
They trod the common ways Of life,
With passions held in sternest leash.
And hearts that knew not strife.
To yon grim Westinghouse they Jared,
With thoughts as sober as their speech,
10 voiceless PRAYER, to son0less praise,
To hear the elders preach.
Through quiet lengths of day they came.
With scarce a change to this repose;
OF all hfe's loneliness they took
The thorn without the rose.
But in the porch and DER the graves
Glad rings the southwark robins glee:
Mud sp1rrows fill the autumn air
With merry mutiny;
While on the graves of drab and gray
The red and gold of autumn lie.
And willful Nature decks the sod
In gcntlest mockery.

Eclipse OF the Sun.

As might be expected, great
interest is being taken in scientific
circles In the total solar eclipse,
which will occur on the goth in-
stanf, and although the obscura-
ton will not be visible in Los An
Reles, there will be much in the
event to engage the local mind.
The last eclipse of the kind took
place in 1859, and was fully OBJ.
served. This time the dark shad-
ow of the moon will first strike the
earth in Siberia, and crossing Behr-
ings straits, the line of to-
taiity-which will cover a space
about 116 miles wide-will
strike the United States about
48:4O latitude, and ll7:55
longitude, and, moving in south.
east direction, will sweep over the
Yellowstone park, through Wyo-
ming Territory, Denver, Colorado,
northern and eastern Texas, and
entering the gulf of Mexico be-
tween New Orleans and Galveston,
will cross the islands Of Cuba aud
San Domingo, and then leave the
earth.
This side of the Rocky mount ,ins
the path of totality will take in
Fort Colville, Washington Terr.-
tory; Virginia City, Fort Ellis
Missoula ard Bozeman, Montana
and near the path of totality will
be Fort Hall and Fort Lapwai,
Idaho; Fort Shaw aud Camp
Baker, Montana. Congress having
appropriated $4,000 to allow of
the eclipse being thoroughly OBJ
served, the best possible prepara-
tions for the purpose are being
made by distinguished scientists.
Five parties will be sent ont from
the Naval Observatory under the
command of the professors OF
mathematics In the navy. They
will be assisted by four officials of
the line, selected and detailed for
the service because Of their recog-
nized skill and ability: Comman.

the department Of physics and

Judge Choate, of New York, re-
Gently decided that a Chinaman
cannot be naturalized under the
laws of the United States. The ap-
plication was made by Chinaman
known as Charles Miller, who h as
lived in New York for twenty
eight years. Judge Choate was
guided by the decision of Judge
Sawyer. of California, in the All
Yup case, who held that there are
two questions to be determined:
"What is meant by white per-
son? Is a person of the Mongolian
race a white personw To that the
Court answered that q Mongolian
is not white person. "Are those
persons excluded who are not either
white persons or negroes?' TO that
the Court answered Eyes" Judge
Sawyer concluded that the Ccn,ti-
tutional Amendment that admitted
the African race did not admit any
other than white races.
