THE ECLIPSE OF THE sun.
The Pale-Faced Moon Will To-Day Pass Be-
tween the Earth and Sun.

An eclipse OF the sun of the kind known as an
nular will be visible to-day from all parts of
North America, the indianapolis exhibit taking
place at 1916 this forenoon The central line Of
eclipse starts in the north Pacific ocean, enters
the American continent on the parallel of 400,
and thence curves northward, nearly bisecting
Montana from southwest to northeast, then
passes through Hudsons bay and Greenland
into the Atlantic, ending northward of Iceland.
The moons shadow will sweep across the
earth's surface at the rate of about thirty five
miles minute. The eclipse will be greatest
about u o'clock and the moon win leave the sun
at l36 p. n, the last point of contact being
twenty-one degrees to The left of the vertex of
the solar disc
The difference between the times of beginning
and ending in this region is considerably gr eater
shan the average timeNof duration, owing to the
fact that the middle of the eclipse occurs near
our noon. The lunar parallax decreases the ap-
parent distance of the moon from the sun on
both sides of the meridian, making tie phenom
eDon begin several minutes earlier aud end sew
eral minutes later than If seen from the earth's
centre. 1t is this change of apparent position
due to parallax that makes the computation of
the phases of a solar eclipse much more com
plcated than that for lunar eclipse, the latter
belnS very easy IL DIG HdS the flgDL as
tensions and destinations of the sun ana
moon, as given in the Ephemerides
Also, it is this parallactic effect which
causes the phase of solar eclipse to be 80 diff
ferent at places only a few score miles apart on
the eartlis surface, while the eclipse of the
moon is practically the same in appearance to all
those who observe 1t from that half of the earths
surface which is turned array from the sun at
the time
Both the orbits of the moon around the earth
and of the earth around the sun are elliptcalthat
is, the distances are continually varying. When
both sun and moon are at their average distances
from the earth, and the moon passes between
us and the sum- her shadow barely
reaches us. Under the most favorable circum-
stances her shadow at the earth's surface is only
n little more than l20 miles in diameter while
her relative distance at the time of the eclipse
IL often SO great that her shadow does not reach
the earth That will be the case to- day the result
being that to all persons who are momentariy
in line with the apex of her shadow. as it sweeps
along there will be ring of sunlight all around
the moon. This part of the world is situated
outside thu limited zone that will be swept
by this negative shadow; and to US the eclipse
will DO partal-that is, the moon will obscure
from US only portion of the solar disc.

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE SUIT.
A Woman Twice Married to the Same Man
and Three Times Divorced.

PHILADELPHIA, March 15 An ex- sista--i..-law
OF ex'speaker Samuel J, Randall will figure in
"sonoa'loAa1 @.sorce case in the Court of Com
lnon Pleas In 1s49 Miss Elizabeth S. Rogers
married John J. Miller Four children were
born to them but in 1859 they were divorced,
and Mrs Miller married Robert e. Randall,
brother of Samuel J. Randall In few years
she again sought the divorce courts, and imme-
diately remarked her first husband Miller who
had become sporting man, and was the bosom
friend of George S. Brotherton, successful
faro banker" In March of last year, however,
Miller and his wife again agreed to separate,
and by an alleged collision, for which the wife
was paid $4,000, second divorce was granted
Miller. who then married Miss Florence Ell.
Brotherton, sister of his bosom friend. the
gambler
Nobody seems to have paid any attention to
the scandalous action of these vacllating par
ents until the grown-up children rebelled. A
daughter by the first marriage of Miller and Miss
Rogers in 1S49 married Frank j. Bonavita. She
accidentally learned of the collision entered into
by her father and mother for the last divorce,
and, considering that the payment of money and
other circumstances was in derogation of her own
rights, she brought action in the courts that she
had been thus CONTEMPORARY treated. Through
her counsel, F. +. Brightley and ex.Judge Briggs,

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Illegal and
asked that it be declared void. Oct %, 1884,
notice of these proceedings by his daughter,
Mrs Bonavita, was served on Miller. The next
day, Mrs Bonavita now makes affidavit he mar
ried Miss Brotherton. IL his divorce is declared
void he will be proceeded against for bigamy.
The suit recalls to lawyers the celebrated case
of the Duchess of Kingston, who sued for bigamy
before the House of Lords. The Duchess Sc
crety married person below her station in life.
Thew led The
Duchess brought action for divorce, but colluded
with her husband, who set up an imaginary
marriage at different time and place from the
real one. He, of course, failed Of proof, and
judgment was rendered for the Duchess. She
then married, but was tried and convicted of
bgamy by the House of Lords. The decision
was that the collision with her husband made
her decree of divorce void

At the Second Presbyterian Church, last even

the theme of the evening being ''St. Patrick, the
Patron Saint of Ireland, the congregation had
nearly all filed out and he was stepping from
One, speaking for the others, said they wanted
to shake hands with him and thank him for his
remarks. They said they were Catholics, but
were greatly pleased with the Doctors estimate

any one church should monopolize him.

of State last January by means of forged order
of court and other necessary documents under
seal, attesting him attorney of record and
guardian of Mercedes May Connolly, heir of
George Connolly, deceased has been ar
rested in Chicago, so q rnmor has it, and
will be brought here oday Roseberry
had become acquainted with the fact that
where deceaents had no heirs the State exercised
guardianship. and held the monies in trust
BY this means he secured out of the Connolly
estate 1852 l3 at one time and on February IL
secured two warrants for SOL 06 each. By mis-
take in recital in the record, Auditor Ricesdis-
covered the fraud, and, upon getting wind of the
matter, Roseberry skipped.
LATER--A dispatch received from Chicago at
a late hour last night denies the story of his ar
rest.

Expensive Mourning Weeds. !

II.
With respect to the senseless habit of buying
new clothes in order to mourn for q deceased
relative, an Australian writes to say that both
in Australia and New Zealand the announce
ment of death in the press are often followed by
the words by the wish of the deceased, his
relatives will not wear mourning" / have al
ways myself admired the sense of the Paeon-
ans, nation described by Herodotus When
a Pseonian died, his friends and relatives met
together to feast in order to celebrate his having
been transferred to another and better world,
and to console themselves tor losing him.
