TO OBSERVE THE ECLIPSE.
Arranging to Send an Expedition to the
West Coast of Africa.

The United States government will send an
expedition to the west coast of Africa in De-
cember to observe the solar eclipse to occur
Dec. 21-22. The deficiency bill, which re-
Gently became law, provides an appropriation
of $4,000 to defray the expenses of the expedi-
ton, or rather devoted to that objectthe $1,000
appropriated to pay the cost of expeditions to
observe the January eclipse, but which became
available too late on account of legislative de-
lay to be used for that purpose. The
Navy department has appointed COM
mission composed of Capt. r. L.
Phythlan, superintendent of the
naval observatory, Prof. Simon Newcomb. and
Prof. Asaph Hall to devise plan and make
recommendations respecting the expenditure
OF the appropriation. The first steps to be
taken by this commission will be to commune
cate with the United States consular officers on
the coast of Africa to ascertain the usual con-
ditions OF the weather in December This in
formation Is important in determining the loca-
tlon OF observing stations. 1t is preferred to
nave the stations on the coast, it is healthier
there; but II the conditions there are unfavora-
Die Tor observing. the parties may be sent inland
The reports received from consular officers
VIII also be OF value in determining the number
OF observing parties to be sent The instru-
ments to be used are in the possession of the
government at the naval observatory. A small
expense will be involved in putting them in
proper condition. An examination of the
path or belt of the eclipse as charted in the
Nautical Almanac shows that the Guinea coast
is about the only place where an expedition
would be sent with fair promise of success. The
belt within which the eclipse will be total ex-
tends across the continent of Africa and pass
ing over the Atlantic ocean, just grazes the
northeast coast of South America There is
an island off the coast of French Guiana
almost in the center a of the belt,
but the eclipse occurs there 3little after sun
rise, when the conditions for observing will be
unfavorable. The period of totality there is
only about two minutes. On the Guinea coast
the eclipse occurs between II and o'clock,
and the period of totality, the most important
time for observers, is about three minutes The
expeditions going out will be in the field two
or three weeks before the eclipse, so as to pro-
vide time for selecting the best positions and
for setting up instruments

PASTORS AND PRESIDENT.
Suggestions of the Pastors Alliance to
the President Regarding District Com
missioners and Attorney.

An incorrect version Of the memorial 10 the
President adopted by the Pastors Alliance in
regard to the appointment Of District officers
has been published. The following is the cor
rect text Of the memorial as adopted, and a.
presented to-day;
"wAsHISeroS. d. c., March q, 1889.
To The Pres,d.ni:
The Pastors Alliance Of the District OF Co
lumbia, composed of men from all the Protest
ant denominations. begs leave TO present this
paper TO you through the president of the al
lance, not as petition for the appointment Of
any particular man or set Of men 10 public Office
an inns District nor. as indicating any particu-
lar line OF action that might commend itself to
the alliance respecting such appointments. but
10 express TO You the deep interest felt by the
members of the alliance in the matter OF the
wise selection of our future Commissioners and
attorney for the District.
I'VE have no doubt that Il is vour purpose nj
a proper time, 10 appoint men OF probity and
courage. who will strengthen the cause of good
morals IN this community by enforcing the
laws against gambling. houses of ill-fame.-
lewd and obscene public amusements and en-
tertalnments, lotteries and dissertation of the
Lords day, and especially those laws relating
TO the liquor traffic; but realizing the practical
difficulties IN the way of such wise selection
we desire You 10 know that in the execution of
such purpose You will have our cordial APP
proval and support.
Your past residence here has afforded Won
opportunity to know the fact so little under
stood elsewhere, that the President is more TO
this city than mayor, and more 20 the Dis
trlct than governor. We beg. therefore. re-
spectfully, 10 assure you. as the chief executive
of the District. that our united prayers will as
cend TO Almighty God to guide You in the wise
and wholesome administration of the law"

The Railway Porter's Hard Fate.

FROM the Buffalo courier.
An Ethiopian with an Interchangeable skin
that shone like a mirror, walked into the Cen
trail Hudson station the other day just ahead
of a smiling little woman. He was Juggling
two enormous travelling satchels, and perspired
like a cataract as he toiled along. When he set
them down she rendered him a coin, that his
politeness forbade him to examine before her
eyes, but when she had departed he pulled it
out of his pocket, looked at il and then uttered
a groan and sank exhausted into q seat. ''Thir-
teen!" he CALCULATED. and groaned again.
''What is the natter" asked the Arounder,
who had been curiously observing him. jess
look at that" and he extended the seeming
piece of money. 1t was Harrison and Nor
ton medal, and bore the usual log cabin, cider
barrel &c. I'm potah, sab, and went down
to the 'naug ration, sab, an here's wot they
guv me for scudi / never heard Of sech Q
thing aforel' Out of his trousers pocket he
slowly drew twelve other medals. They had
been worked of on him in the dark-all except
the last one. Even a Pullman porter doesn't
live in clover all the time.

Tbirty-seyen Years After.

Shelbyville dll) Special to Chicago Tribune
Thirty-seven years ago, James yermillion
sent his son George to the pasture for the
COWS. A few days since, George returned to
his fathers house, at Lower hill, minus the
COWS, but possessed of title deeds to a large
cattle ranch in Colorado. The son had been
dead to his parents all these years, and though
he went away a youth in his teens, he returned
a gray and grizzled man of mature years. The
fatted calf was killed and there was great re-
joicing over the son that was lost. but is found

A Dirty Trick of London Beggars.

From a London Letter.
Women in the West End of London go about
armed with small squirt guns filed with dirty
water, with which they slyly soil the coats or
dresses of those whom they pass. Then they
meet the persons, and, with elaborate bows,
beg pardon for calling attention to the fact
that the dress or coat is splashed and offer to
wipe it off with a clean white apron. Nine

Extension of the Children's Hospital.

At late meeting of the directors of the Chill
dren's hospital it was decided to enlarge the
facilities Of that institution by adding to the
west side of the main building wing similar in
size and style to that on the eastern side. The
demands for accommodations even now tax the
hospital beyond its power to supply sufficient
room for patients, and as the number of appli-
cants grows larger each year. and the necessi-
ties for adequate medical and surgical service
are constantly increasing, no other method
than the one adopted could be devised tie meet
the emergency. The new extension will cost
it is estimated, about 200, and if the work
be undertaken at once, as it should be, it will
be necessary for the present at least, to put a
mortgage on the whole property in order to
provide the requisite means. In view, how
ever, of the importance of the institution and
the good work it is constantly ACCOMPLISHING
not only for residents of the District but for
persons temporarily here from all sections of
the country, it is believed that by the Joint lib
eral action OF Congress and the people of Wash
lngton the amount required to remove the in
cumbrance would soon be made up. and the
hospital thus again placed free from debt IL
is understood that as soon as the detailed plans
and other arrangements can be made steps will
be taken to carry out the purpose above indi-
Gated.

Geo. j. Parker, of Boston, to sing the tenor

real estate broker, has leased the handsome
residence of ex-senator Van Wyck Of Ne
braska, located at the southwest corner Of Mas
sachusetts avenue and 18th street. The lease
is for three years, and begins September 1.
Ex-senator Van Wyck now occupies the house,
which is handsomely furnished and decorated
and is one Of the most spacious residences in
that part OF the city. The Chief Justice rents
it fully furnished The house was built some
years ago by Mr.. Van Wyck ana it was occu-
pied by him during his senatorial term. It
has been leased for the last two sea-
sons to Mr.. Darlington, member
family Of daughters entertained quite extern
sively. The new home Of Chief Justice Fuller
is very eligibly located. On the opposite cor
ner is the fine residence of Mr.. J. Hubley Ashton,
and across the street is the elegant home Of the
late Belden Noble. It is only short distance
from Dupont circle and is opposite to the tri-
angular square recently purchased by Mr.. Van
Wyck, which he intends to improve by the
erection of a handsome residence.
1t was the intention Of the Chief Justice to
purchase home, and he inspected number
OF the handsome residences in this city. At
one time negotiations were about closed for
the purchase Of the residence Of Judge Wylie,
on Thomas circle. The Chief Justice has
large family, and he found it difficult to secure
a house that suited him in every particular. It
is probable that he will purchase ground and
build house. He has occupied since he has
lived in this city the residence of Mr.. A L.
Barber, on Columbia Heights.
