ment. We were obliged to get along as best
we might with only partial observation of
the disc of old Sol, and even that was some
what of a failure by reason of the dense
masses of murky clouds that overcast the
sky during the greater part of the afternoon.
At ten minutes and forty-on seconds past 3
o'clock the eclipse commenced, and at eight
minutes and thirty-eight seconds past 4
o'clock the greatest point of observation was
reached, and i'll precisely an hour afterwards
the sun emerged entirely from the shadow.
Only occasional gliInpses of his majesty
could be had during the progress of the un-
pleasantness, but at these times he looked
rather glum, but he finally emerged as smil-

the services of one of the most eminent
scientific men in the country to take obser-
vations from Dayton's Bluff. He was pro-
vided at great expense with sextant, a

proved to be greater than was anticipated,
for he turned up at the GLOBE Office g little

Detective Bresett, and on the left by Capt
Clark, too much exhausted for utterance

VHEELING INTO LINE.
The Old "Vets" Arranging to Meet in st.
Paul State Fair Week.


Paul State Fair Week.
Immediately after the adjournment of the
chamber of commerce yesterday morning,
the executive committee of the Veteran Asso-
citation of the State of Minnesota assembled
under the presidency of Gen. Bishop who
reminded the committee that the association
had last year relegated to those present the
power of appointing the time and place fer
this years meeting.
After some conversation, it was decided to
hold the current years meeting of the asso-
citation in this city during the holding of the
State fair in September next. This was
considered as an especially BETTING season
and occasion, because of the reduced rates of
fare from all points within the State TO be then
obtained, and, also, because many of the as
sociates would be in attendance at the fair in
any case. 1t was believed that thereby the
most numerous attendance would be secured
and the most beneficial results would be
realized.
local committee of arrangements was
then constituted, as follows:
Gov. w. R.. Marshall, Gen. r. w. Johnson
Col. G. s. Uline, Capt. T. s. White,
Gen. j. b. Sanborn, Capt. III. A. Ca tie,
Capt. A. R. Kefer, Capt. M. d. Flower
Col. G. w. Griggs, Mai. j. G. Hamilton,
Capt. j. j. McCardy, Capt. T. P. Wilson,
Col G. A. Morton, Col. W. Ell. FL. Taylor,
Gen. III. lei. Sibley, Gen. r. N. McLaren,
Capt. j. Manner, Col. VIM. Pfaender,
Maj. E. M. Van Duzee Capt. Otto Dreher,
Gen. j. T. Averill, w. III. Dixon,
Edward Richards, Col. VIM. Crooks.
The first meeting of the committee will be
held in the chamber of commerce next
Thursday evening at s o'clock, when such
preliminaries will be arranged as come within
its province in the way of the appointing of
sub committees and otherwise preparing for
the event.

MONDAY MORNING.
The Usual Me1ange which Follows Day
Past

The Usual Me1ange which Follows a Day
of Rest.
There were five DRINKS at the municipal
court yesterday morning. William Whites
was noisy, british Saturday night drunk,
and he being . husky strong lumberman
without money, was given seven days phys
ical training at the stone pile.
Charles Williams had drank till he was
black in the face, and having spent his last
muscular work.
Michael Connors and Charles Drake were
no better off than their compeers-an the
city roads will be benefited by seven days of
their efforts at stone cracking.
John Wallace was more fortunate, for al
though like Pat Malloy his pockets were
empty, his heartwas full of joy, for good
friend in court advanced the necessary $3.50
and saved him from substituting the ham
mer for the ''stick,' and the stone pile for
the case.
Jerry Manning, the notorious, who i'm
mediately after Frost's grocery, on DAYTON
avenue, was cracked, and large quantity of
cigars stolen, disappeared from town, having
gone on a pleasure tour to Hastings, and
other rural cities, was before Judge Flint yes
terday morning, charged with being a vag,
and Captain Clark says vag of the most
dangerous kind, and no one knows better
than the captain does about these things.
Whenever Jerry returns to town. says the
captain, something is certain to happen, and
If store is ''lifted," a saloon busted, or
any other little job executed, Jerry disap-
pears and rusticates for while. Judge
Flint sent him to work for seven days, and
he was removed from court, swearing
dire vengence against Captain Clark and the
whole police force.
Ellen Grant, not unknown to police court
fame. was before Judge Flint yesterday
morning charged with disorderly conduct.

country though, he said, and as the city has
