The Eclipse.

San Francisco, ia Call special
from Fresno says the line of the totality
Of the eclipse of the sun passed ten miles
north of this place. The weather was
perfectly clear. At 2.45 the first contact
was visible; at 1888 the ob-curation be-
came total. AS the last ray Of the sun
disappeared, a corona Of clear white light
entirely encircling the moon flashed into
view, brilliant at the edge of the moon
and psliHg towards the out limit of the
halo. Next along the border of the lower
left third of the moon appeared an ira
gular fringe of brilliant, sparkling print
tive red and purple light, while at the
top of the moon was a bright yellow
triangle of light equal in height to one
sixth the diameter of the disk. \ similsr
but smaller triangle appeared at the
centre Of the right side and from the
upper and lower right side projected
broad faint rays. This appearance lasted
thirty-one seconds. The corona remained
few minutes longer. The sun disap-
peared behind the coast range before thu
eclipse had entirely passed. During the
observation the horses of thep party show ed
signs of extreme uneasiness, and fowls of
the neighboring ranches sought their
rOosts. At Salinas, were the eclipse Yves
also total, the thermometer fell eight de-
grees during tbs totality.

Washington, II The SUMS Washing

Congress probable. Neither party is

and more cogent reason-the mania for
stock and mining specu atoms has seized
a great number of Representatives. Every

gressional business is occupied in leaning
over the New York Exchange tickers.
One of the largest firms of New York
brokers has established an office hera and

gresshen believe they can make a great

Charley SHADES FuneraI-His Past
Life.

Charley SHADES FuneraI-His Past
Life.
Yesterday afternoon, says the Bodie Free
Press Of Wednesday, the many friends of
the late Charles Slade paid their last re-
spects to his memory, and laid the body
away in theigrave. The funeral took place
from the residence Of his friend and COM
panion, James Monahan. At the open
grave in the Bodie cemetery, the Rev. Mr..
Hinkle read the beautiful and impressive
burial service, and then the dis
persed, each to his calling. But few here
knew Charley SHADES inner life. and the
many good qualities which remain uncov-
cred to the outer world. His real life and
that OF the profession which he had adopt
ed were entirely different, and no one
should judge him harshly. He was born
in Carlisle. Illinois, in 1916, and while a
mere infant his father went to the Mexican
war, and fell in the defense of his country.
In his early boyhood he was all life and
animation, bright and full Of promise. At
the early age OF Is he started for the West,
and was in Montana in 1861. From there
he went to Salt Lake, and thence to Eureka.
For a long time Slade was q hard worker
in the latter place, and it was there that he
first o to sporting. On the Comstock
he was well liked his steady habits, genial
and circumspect name won him many
friends. He cam to this place last sum-
mer. 1t is but a short time ago that he
drank to any extent, and it was only when
under the influence Of liquor that he was
at all disagreeable. Slade was a man easily
influenced, and allowed himself to be gov
ernedb by Others, even against his own will.
II is thought that the tragedy which ended
his life was not wholly his own seeking. If
Charley Slade had been governed by his
own conscience, he would never nave met
a violent death. His mother still resides
in his native town, a respected lady. and
the death OF her son in this far-off land
will bow her head with grief. In his last
moments Charley made mention OF his
mother. Let the grave close over his re-
mains in peace begot by charity.

HONEST

Senator Bayard's speech, delivered in
the Senate recently on the currencyques-
ton, vas not . political but an economic
argument. As Mr.. Bayard urged. the
oueution is one which rises superior to
marty and should be treated in a non
p.rtisan manner-affecting a. it does, not
.nv particular class, but all classes of the
people. At the same time Mr.. Bayard
was careful to point out that the Demo
cratic party has always been the party OF
hard money. In reasserting its ancient
hostility to a forced paper currency he Is
but following the example and teachings
Of such conspicuous Democrats as Jetier-
son. Jackson and Benton Mr.. Bayard's
argument was specially directed toward
the vital importance Of repeating the
leQal-tender quality Of the greenbacks,
in order that the resumption Of specie
payments may be secured beyond the pos
sibility Of interruption. His speech was
. close. logical and eloquent presentation
Of the case, and held the earnest atten-
ton Of q full Senate from beginning to
end. The strongest point in the argu-
ment was, perhaps, his lucid explanation
Of hos the retention OF the legal-tender
quality of the greenback practically de-
prives . msu of his property by com
polling him to receive for his contract or
for his sroperty United States notes,
adn- sttsdly worth less than the stipulated
. mount Of money he had agreed and was
entitled to receive. This is the whole
matter in a nutshell, and it is singular
that the soft-money men who assume to
represent the debtor class do not see that
they are urging simply a legalized form
Of robbery in insisting on retaining the
legal-tender quality Of greenbaeks. when
the country is once more in a condition
to pay all debts in honest coin. No n
denies that the United States are enjoy
ing unusual prosperity. and that the con-
ditions for a permanent resumption Of
specie payments are all Of the most favor
able character. Senator Bayard proposes
to seize upon this opportunity to return
to the metallic standard not only in name
but in fact; in order, as he ~eloquently
puts it, to secure to labor 'the painful
earnings Of daily toll" and the transmits
sion Of property created by labor to pos
terity.

The question Of permitting communi-
cants to dance or not to dance has been
agitating the ministers of the Baptist
Church in New York. Some thought it
encouraged lust of the flesh, while others
could see no especial harm in it. One
minister took a rather business-like view
of the matter. A young lady. he said,
dances once or twice, and knowing that
she will be hauled over the Goals for it
stays away from church and finally joins
some other denomination which doesn't
care particularly about dancing. In this
way, he asserted, more than ten thousand
people have been driven away from the
Baptist Churches in New York.
