TIE ECLIPSE.
July q, Is

Notwithstanding the oft repeated state
ment that astronomical calculations are
ali guess work, the eclipse last Sunday eve
ming occurred just in accordance with the
calculations made and published four
years ago by the Z. s. Government, in the
American Elphelneris and Nautical Al
manac Promptly at 9.47 p. m. the shadow
of the earth began to creep over the disk
of the moon.
Just as promptly did the beginning and
ending Of totality and the leaving of the
shadow take place, in exact correspondence
with the table published Iii the EAGLE
July /, n / republished in Sunday morn
Jugs issue.
The coppery hue of the moon during to-
tality was very marked. Authorities, 80
far as l know, say that this copper
color of the moons disk is not
visible until totality takes place. But on
Sunday evening, within fifteen minutes
after the moon entered the shadow and up
to within the same time of its leaving the
shadow, this lurid color was plainly visi-
BILE. This color is caused by the red rays
being refracted from the sunlight which
surrounds the shadow and brought into
the shadow, and the color is more or less
marked, according to the humidity or
dryness of the atmosphere. The phenome-
non is analogous to the redness of the sun
or moon at the time of rising or setting.

This time to thank you sincerely for the
encouragement you have given me during
the few weeks in which ] have been can
wasting this district for the nomination at
the hands of the Republican party for the
state senatorship And also to inform you
that have withdrawn from the race For
this reason. find that my personal affairs
demand so much of my time that | am
afraid will be unable TO devote myself as
exclusively to the Office as | should do in
order TO satisfy the expectations Of my
constituency, and which the dignity and

mand of me. This senatorial district en-
braces the best county, and has within its
limits the largest lefty in one of the
foremost states in the Union, and should
be represented in the senate by a man who
will be an honor to the position by being
the possessor Of that dignity and force of
character and thorough knowledge of the
duties devolving upon him as will con-
mand the respect OF that body and enable
him in carrying out such measures as
will be OF the most benefit TO the people OF
the state. We have such men, true as

our community and state, and let Us see
TO it that this important position Is filled
this winter by just such a zentlsman-

FROM MIR. MULVEY.

The eclipse was on hand Sunday evening
according to the published time tables.
1t was beautiful sight in the cloudless
sky and was witnessed by many of our
citizens. Several powerful telescopes were
brought to bear on it. The one at the
Gaafield university, Mr.. o. Mulvey's at
the corner of Pine and Topeka, and the
one belonging to the travelling astronomer.
Many people viewed 1T through these in
struments
Questions as to the causes of the various
phases were numerous; that which seemed
most unaccountable was why should the
moon still be visible after the moon was
totally immersed in the earth's shadow:
why it was rot totally black and invisible'
This was owing to the earth's atmosphere
refracting "a small portion of the suns
light in such a way as to fall on the moon
rendering it family visible. -

SEDGWICK REPRESENTED.
A Large Number Left For Topeka
Last Night.
More to Go Today---0ther Delega-
tions---The Eagle Will Keep
Its Readers Thorough
~ Posted.

As the time approaches for the conven-
ing of the Republican state convention at
Topeka, tomorrow, interest in the same
increases here in Wichita. Some of the
members of the party went up to Topeka
Sunday night. Others left yesterday
morning. About thirty-five or forty in
special car left last night over the Santa
Fe. In this party were the delegates aud
some of the most active Republicans OF
this county. Others will leave this morn
ing But this evening at $50 by far the
largest crowd viii go up. They will so by
both the Rock Island and the Santa Fe.
In fact, every train from Sunday night
up to and including tomorrow morning
trains will carry Republicans representing
Sedgwick county. Careful estimates place
Sedgwick's representation at not less
than 200.
Delegations from some of the neighbor-
ing counties have also passed through this
city en- route TO the state capital, and
there is every certainty that this conven-
ton will be one of the most enthusiastic
and able gatherings ever held by the party
in the great Republican state OF Kansas.
1t will demonstrate to all observers that
the Republican party OF the state has
more vigor than it had when the admins
tration was Republican.
The EAGLE viii keep its friends here
thoroughly posted as to the progress of the
convention, as it has sent two special cor
| respondents to Topeka today who will
furnish this paper with special dispatches
each night, and during the day will send
bulletins of interesting features of the
| convention as they transpire. Those who
go from here TO the convention will be en-
| abled to keep posted on affairs at home by
large number of EAGLES sent to Topeka
each morning. Tally sheets, etc, will also
be distributed by the EAGLES representa-
| tiYeS at Topeka

THE woMAN's ASSOCIATION.

The Woman's association of st. Francis
hospital would kindly ask the public to
remember that the hospital is dependent
entirely upon charity for its support and
any donations are most gratefully re-
ceived There are some very pleasant
rooms fitted up for pay patients. but the
number of such patients is comparatively
few and the revenue from this source very
small. One could hardly send anything to
the hospital that would not be most ac-
ceptable. One of the great needs Is for
clothing, especially underwear. The first
thing often to do for patient is to give
him bath, and then he needs clean cloth
ing to replace the soiled ones he has just
removed, and few patients are provided
with any changes of clothing. There are
many who would gladly assist the hos
pital but are not able to give money.
Such can surely spare an occasional partly
worn garment, or gather up bundle of
old linen, or a package of old illustrated
papers or other reading matter, or share
with the sick their store of fruits and
jellies which they are now preparing for
winter. Where everything has TO be
bought, and where the patients range
from the Infant of days" to the gray
haired old man, one can readily see there
is wide range for the charitably disposed,
and the ladies can only repeat that any
thing and everything donated to the hos
pital will be most gratefully received.

of St. Francis hospital acknowledge with
