| "A total eclipse of the sun occurred
the 9Th of September, yesterday though
not hairs breadth of his shining face
was obscured to our view. The favored few
who beheld the grandest phenomenon
witnessed by mortal eye were under the
moons dark shadow in the South Pacific
ocean. The path Of totality commenced
near the eastern shore of Australia, pass
ed over New Zealand and ended near the
south pole. A partial eclipse Of the
moon takes place September oath, visible
on the Atlantic ocean, in North and
South America and on the Pacific ocean.
This eclipse will be easily observed in
this region. 1t begins at rs a. m.
ALL lovers of good music, and the
public IN general. have in near prospect a
first class musical entertainment by the
Nine. Fry troupe of Boston. which is
booked for Opera Hall. Sept. "a. This
troupe send before them very compliment
tary notices from the press, both east and
west. We will quote at this time from
the Dubuque Herald only:
Nine Fry and her daughters are must
cal prodi9iss. They are fine v0calists; all
are fine vlolinists; all play the piano ex-
cellently we'll; they have few superiors as
manipulators of brass instruments; Miss
Lulu Is marvel on the flute. and their
voices are sweet, powerful and fascinating.
The audience was an appreciative one,
capable of judging of the merits of the
|
persistency in compelling repetition of
certain numbers, sufficiently attested the
merits of the company.
The Newell g. Fielding Comedy
Ideals commenceda weeks engagement
At the Austin Opera House Monday even
ing, at popular prices, % and Is. The
rain settled down upon them Monday
and Tuesday evenings. and consequently
the attendance was very light. But the
entertainments are giving the best of sat
lsfaction, especially Mr.. Fielding, who is
immense in his comedy specialties. His
representation of Joshua Whtcomb"
Monday night could hardly be improved
upon. If the rain will stop, We predict
crowded houses for the Ideals. Tonight
will be presented THE Private Secre-
tary," then will come "Commotion" and
"Muldoon's Picnic" These comedies
are full of fun, and will give you health
and fairness. Remember, every evening
this week, at the opera house.
The Peoples Theater Co. played at
the opera house to good audiences every
evening of last week. The members of
the Company were very popular with
their patrons, In fact, they deserved
popularity. They were all very respecta-
bic people, and gave US plays which
were not offensive in any sense. OF the
eight performers, all were good, and

average of performers in similar travel
ing companies. Especially good were

3. Scully. Not far behind them were
.Larkins, McGovern and Katie Pearson.
The manager. A. Y. Pearson, was a
gentleman, and every thing about the
establishment was conducted in a gentle
manly manner. The weeks business
was u success-the Company made some
money-and we are glad of it.
