A Bad Man.

Lewis Laforest on Friday afternoon
informed the police that his little 13-
year-old daughter had packed her
clothes in valise and suddenly disap-
peared. Her parents were uneasy
about her.
Later in the day Victoria Wilson said
the little Laforest girl had been enticed
away from her home by a Snowman,
who recently held forth in the Fish
building on Butler street. The man
had sent her money. and she had gone
to Yale to meet him. The police i'm
mediately telephoned to Yale and learn
ed that the man and girl were there.
An officer left to-day to arrest the
Snowman.
Mr.. Laforest is very indignant and
says he will shoot the man on sight If
he comes in contact with him. While
in Port Huron the man enticed the girl
to his show rooms on numerous occa-
sions.-Pt. Huron Times.

NEATLY TRAPPED.
The Police Corral a Couple of
Burglars.

Burglars.
A well laid plan to rob l.. D. Kill
bourne & Co.'s wholesale boot and shoe
store, at PIP Second street north, was
knocked IN the head by the police about
o'clock yesterday morning. Two men
were arrested in connection with the
affair. Patrolman Bacon was go
ing past the store early in
the morning when he saw a
man leaving the place with box on his
back. He at once notified Sergt. Cos
kan, who called Patrolmen ZulOski and
Novack and went to the store. Finding
the door of the building open the ser
geant detailed two of the men to guard
the building while another one went
over to fire headquarters and procured
a lantern. A careful search was made,
and two men were discovered trying to
make their escape by way OF the roof.
The men, who gave their names as
George Wilson and James O'Brien,
were lodged in the First precinct
station and the officers then
went back and made search
around the yards IN the
vicinity of the building. Back CT head
quarters were found five boxes of boots
and shoes, valued at about 5000. O'Brien
has been hanging around fire headquart-
ers for some days, probably becoming
familiar with the big building across
the street. The two men were ar
raigned in the municipal court yester-
day morning and held to the grand
jury. Wilson keeps a cigar store at
Third avenue. and the police are in
clined to think that he was interested in
the robbery of Hooker & Manley'S
cigar store sometime ago.

CLAIMS TO BIZ HYPNoT1zED.
A Case of Animal Magnetism That
Will Come Up in Court.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Jan. IA peculiar
case of what seems to be magnetic in
tluence has turned up on the South
side. The victim is Miss Christine
Homberger, handsome young woman,
about twenty-seven years of age. She
is wealthy and we'll educated, speaking
several languages. According to her
statement, she attended party about
nine years ago, where she was intro
duced to young man. She says: II
was favorably impressed with him.
and we spent some time enjoyably in
conversation. During the evening
he gave me drink of something which
he said was cider. l drank it,
and from that moment [ have been
under his influence. | tried at first to
rid myself of the feeling of subserv-
fence to his will which had possession
OF me, but it was impossible. l soon
learned it was no deluSiOn-it was stern
reality. Worse still, he was conscious
of his power over me-" She has con-
suited physicians here, in Mexico and
Cuba, where she has travelled for relief,
but without success. The man got
married few years ago, but he still
maintains his influence over her. and
he refuses to break the spell. She says
she hates the man. but cannot resist his
power over her. To-day she placed the
matter in the hands of Agent Dean, of
the Humane society. The case will
probably go to court. Physicians are
watching the outcome of the case with
great interest,

Special to the Globe.
/, SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-The day was
generally favorable in Nevada and Cal
ifornia for a clear observation of the
total eclipse of the sun. In this city
the eclipse was only partial. about
eleven twelftbs of the SUMS surface
being obscured. The weather was
clear, and the eclipse was witnessed by
a great number of persons. Dnring the
period OF the greatest obscur-
ity it became quite dark, and
one star was plainly seen. No
scientific observations were made
in this city. A large number of people
left this city this morning by train to
find favorable point in which to OBJ
serve the total observation, which oc-
Cured from fifty to one hundred miles
north of here. At Marysville the
weather was clear, and the first contact
was about 1890, and during the prog
ress of the eclipse, the weather became
quite cool, and several streaks of light
ming were observed during the totally.
Several exposures of wet and dry plates
were made during the totality and views
will be sent to Amherst college. Prof.
Holden. of Lick observatory. telegraphs
that the beginning of the eclipse was
successfully observed at that point, and
also the last contact. At st. Helena the
conditions were favorable. The nearest
approach to totality was at 1:50,
when observers noticed plainly with
the naked eye narrow circle of
light on the northwesterly side
of the suns disc, and In an in
slant, the bright spot was transferred
to the other side. The appearance OF
the entire valley in shadowy light was
weired. At Oroville photographs were
taken, the clouds obscuring the view OF
the totality, but good view was had
up to within a few minutes OF that
period. A successful observation was
made at Bartlett Springs by Prof.
Keller, of the Dick observatory, who
says that the corona was beautifully
distinct, and that he saw remarkable
changes in the length of the coronnal
lines. Prof. Barnarte obtained photo
graphs. Prof. Hill photographed all the
contacts and studied the structure OF
the inner corona. Prof. Senschne made
exposures of light during totality.
At Grass Valley white clouds obscured
the sun little. but during the period
of totaIity stars and large planets were
seen with the naked eye. The corona
and protuberances were grand sight.
The thermometer fell deg. between
the first contact and totalitY. The
weather was clear at Virginia City,
New, and 1920 of the SUMS surface was
( obscured. The thermometer dropped
10 deg. during the progress of the
eclipse. A heavy fog prevailed at
Truckee, CAL, in the Sierra Nevada
mountains. and during the eclipse it
was necessary to use electric lights i'll
the streets.

PROMPTLY ON TIME.
The Eclipse Came, but No Obser-
vations Taken at Minneapolis.


Yesterday, the first day of the new
year, was made memorable by solar
eclipse which lasted hour and so min
utes. 1t began at 800 p. M, when the
convex edge of the moon began to show
between the earth and the sun, gradu-
ally decreasing the warmth and light OF
Old Sol, until, at 4:19, all but narrow
crescent was hidden from view. Then
this crescent grew gradually larger
again until 5:222, when the son was EN-
tirely free once more. The sun set at
4:43, however, so when last seen the
crescent had increased but little in size.
The eclipse was total to observers on a
narrow belt stretching from the Aleu-
tan islands, in the Northern Pacific
ocean, to point almost north OF Mime
apOliS and about $40 miles distant. This
narrow strip was only about 100 miles
wide, and large part OF 1t was,
OF course, on the ocean. On this con-
tinent it extended in a northeasterly di-
rection through California, Idaho, Mon
tana and Manitoba. North and south Of
this belt the eclipse was only partial
and was invisible south of the West
Hudson's bay. In the Aleutiau Islands

ing, one of the most singu-
lar experiences the inhabitants of that
far-away region have, in all probability,
ever known. The longest duration OF
totality of the eclipse was two and one
quarter minutes. Here the eclipse
lasted from its beginning till sunset,
one hour and thirty-tWo minutes. At
the time of the middle Of the eclipse the
Sun was nearly $4,000, 900 miles from the
earth and the moon only pa PA, 244 miles, so
that it is readily seen that the apparent
collision was quite imaginary. Only at
points where the eclipse is total is it Of
any special scientific interest, and at
several points in California and the
mountains of the West little parties of
astronomers put in diligent work dur
ing the little space of 1876 seconds
which is so seldom available for Scien-
tlfic purposes.
So far as known, there was no OBJ
servation taken in Minneapolis, and the
celestial phenomenon attracted little at
tention. Prof. j. F. DOwney, professor
of astronomy at the university, was out
OF the city yesterday.

"SKIN" GRADES.
A Method to Improve the Inspec-
ton of Grain.

ton of Grain.
The grain dealers and millers arc con-
siderably worked up over what is known
in grain circles as ''skin grades" and a
bill is being prepared which will be sub
mitted to the legislature, covering this
matter. These skin grades are made by
mixing a good grade of wheat with
sufficient quantity of lower grade wheat,
so that the whole lot will still pass as
the original grade. AS for instance, a
car load of good No. Northern can
often be mixed with lot OF No. 2
Northern and still pass inspection as
No. l Northern. In this way the
grade of thousands of bushels of poor
wheat has been raised, but the result has
been that the grade of flour manufact-
ured from this wheat has been lowered
correspondingly. This, of course, has
caused the milIers to kick vigorously
against the system, and the state wheat
inspectors have consequently been in
structed to lower the grade Oh all wheat
which is found to have been mixed.
The inspectors have, however. taken it
for granted that the only wheat which
is mixed must necessarily come
from private elevators i'll this
city and consequently the country
elevators, which are all mare or less
mixing elevators, can get higher grade
for their wheat than the city elevators.
This has caused great howl from the
Minneapolis elevator men.and they have
Joined the millers in asking that only
the state inspection be given wheat IN
public elevators. as under the state
license public elevator is not allowed
ha ,,,iIIarc nnrfpn1 that
unless this is done the spectators
market value of Minnesota wheat
bv deteriorating its quality. and
that unless the manufacture of skin
grades of wheat is stopped immediately,
the reputation of both Minnesota
wheat and Minnesota flour will be
ruined.
At present the whole matter of grain
inspection is under the charge of the
railway commission, and all laws and
regulations governing inspection are
made by them. 1t is the plan of
the legislative bill, which is
being drawn to take this mat
ter wholly out of the hands
of the railway commission, and place it
in the charge of grain commissioner,
who shall be appointed by the governor.
1t is thought that in this way by having
the whole matter under the supervision
of a person thoroughly cOnversant with
wheat grading that there will be great
improvement made in the inspection
laws, and the fact that when an appeal
is made from an inspectors grading.
that it can be made to person who
knows the difference between No. 1
hard and rejected wheat, will tend to
make dealers have more confidence in
the state inspection than they have at
the present time.
