NORFOLK WELL ADVERTISED
What the Petersburg Index-Ap-
peal Has to Say.
THE VIRGlNIAN'S SERVICE
In Value More Than 500, 900
Given by the virginian to the
City by the Sea. The Nor
folk Ledger Agrees With
Its Contemporary.

Tho Petersburg Index-Appea!. in
its issue OF Thursday, has the fol-
lowing as to the benefits Norfolk
will receive from The V~iSGIHIAN's
New Years issue:
What TIE NORFOLK VIRGINIAN
has done for Norfolk, in the way OF
an advertisement worth in subsfsu-
tisl results more than O hundred
thousand dollars to that city, the
lndex-Appeal eagerly sought to do
for Petersburg some timo ago.
When the proposition YVES made to
issue, under the auspices OF the
chamber of commerce, IL picture
book Of certain persons and houses,
upon the astounding assumption
that such q publication would pro-
mote trade and attract settlers to
the city and vicinity, q trade edition
of the Index.Appeal was offered as
q substitute, on the ground that in
this form the work could be done
more efficiently aud more oheaply.
The offer was declined and the pic
ture book was adopted.
AS q picture book 1t a a great
uccess 1t contained accurate rep.
Presentations of some of the nioest
houses In the city, and it was embsl-
llshed with the faces of some of the
hsndsomest of our male population,
accompanied by tlattering sketches,
biographical and business, oil of
which, pictures and puffs, were paid
Tor with a good round sum. But rs
an advertisement it fell dismally
short OF expectation. It's statistical
data was scant, i'll dIgested aud bad
ly arranged, and for it's shortcom-
inRs In these important particulars
neither pretty houses nor surprising
personal pulchritude could atone,
The jewellers III the bleak and storm
swept regions OF the far Northwest
cared nothing for picture books in
their search for homes in q more
genial climate. What they wanted
was Just such stuff as The NORFOLK
NlRGINIAN has given them and the
lndex.Appenl would have given them
for Petersburg.
LIE FIKGINIAN will doubtless send
out hundreds of thousands of COPIES
Of its trade edition to all parts of
the country, and it will be noticed
III every paper from Maine to Cali
fornia. In this way, the great pro-
gress OF Narfolk will be brought to
the attention of millions of readers
In oil parts of the country, while
Petersburg's souvenir book
rests In harmless desuetude in some
forgotten nook. And the difference
between the methods here aud ia
Norfolk Is emphasized by the fact
that all the money expended for
labor and acquired in profits was
kept In Norfolk, while Petersburg's
money was expended for labor in
New Orleans and the profta drop
PED into the pockets of strangers
who had no further interest in Pc
t%ersburg than to make all they could
out OF her people. In this they
were aided by many good cltizeus
and good business men who never
contribute o cent in advertising to
the support of q local paper.

color; not tho relaxation of a singlo mus cle; no visible collapse or sign of any emo- tion; ever the same cynical and sneering indifference.
 According to the statutes of the state of Minnesota, only one fate can await Harry Hayward-a sentence to be hanged by tho neck until he is dead. Neither the jury nor the judge could alter tho scn- tence, no matter how strongly inclined they might be toward leniencc. For mur- der in tho first degree the law provides only one penalty.
 At the request of counsel for the defense the pronouncing of the sentence was de- ferred until next Monday, but the verdict of the jury has made tho sentence of liar. " Hayward as certain as though the judge had already announced it.
 The Prisoner Was Cool.
 Up to the time that the verdict was read John Day Smith and Shumaker, counsel for the defense expressed the greatest con- fdence of acquittal. Hall. the assistant county attorney, moved for immediate sentence. but owing to the absence of Mir. Erwin, the leader of the defense, passage of sentence was postponed until next Mon day morning at 10 o'clock.
 4 cooler man than Harry Hayward un- der such circumstances never lived. His dress was immaculate, as usual, and he walked with the same cultivated stride that is one of his characteristics to the chair he has occupied for so many. weeks past. That he anticipated what the yer dict was to be seemed apparent in the an- gry manner with which he threw his hat on the attorneys table The force was so great that n rent was made in tho crown of the derby.
 Shumaker turned to his client and be- sought him to keep cool, whatever the yer dict. Don't show any temper, Harry, |" he said "This is not the time to do that !"
 The injunction had the desired effect. Hayward straightened out the sleeves of his well fitting coat, sat down. crossed his legs and faced the jury. He was breathing so heavily that every breath was almost a gasp, but the passage from the jail to the courtroom was through a hostile and des- perato crowd, and 1t was hurriedly made. He sat there amid tho solemn silence of the big room scanning the faces of his 13 countrymen one by one as if to learn in advance whether any ray of hope lurked behind their impaSsivcncSs.
 The jurymon looked stern and sad. The story they had to tell could be read in their faces, and Hayward knew his fate before word was spoken. No spectators were admitted. The only persons present when tho verdict was handed in were po- lice officers, sheriff, deputies and the re- porters, besides tho judge and clerks. Out side bowling, anxious mob awaited the news, and awaited it with ghoulish impa- tience
 Polling the Jury.
 When Judge Smith arrived, he issued strict orders to admit no one, and the in junction was rcligiously observed. Kobler, the depuy K, asked in n tremulous voice whether the jury had agreed upon q verdict and Neil McNeil. the foreman, stood rp. His face was ghastly in color.

Standard time :

If the sky is not overcast, an eclipse gives nearly two hours warning by the gradual encroachment of the earth's shad- ow on the moons disk, but on Sunday night this warning will be given to places east of the Mississippi after peorle have set out for church or are engaged n evening service It therefore behooves all whose way to church is over treachercus country roads to remember before they start that it will be quite dark on their return.
 The accompanying illustrations show four positions which the moon will take with respect to the earth shadow. These are exactly an hour apart. The first shows the moon after 1t has passed entirely into the partial shadow and with the eastern edge just entering the total shadow. An hour later the moon will be entirely cov- cred by the black shadow of the earth and perhaps absolutely invisible, but whether it will be invisible or can be faintfy dis cerned will depend somewhat on the con dition of the oarth's atmosphere The last position shown, which is three hours after the first, is when the moon has emerged partly from the total shadow, but is still yelled in the partial one. These successive phenomena are to be seen, provided there are no clouds, at exactly the same instant of time from all parts of the United States. However, owing to the differences in local and standard time as kept in various places, the eclipse will seem to begin at earlier hours in the west than in the east.

4 Phenomenon That ChurchgOcrs should
 Make n Note or.
 NEW YORK, March 9-Nature's freaks are rarely preceded by sufficient warning. Severe storms, great earthquakes and un- usual atmospheric phenomena almost all ways come insuflici6ntly announced and work damage which might be avorted if the exact time and nature of their com ing were only subject to precise preGic- tion. An eclipse of tho moon is to take place Sunday evening, March 10, and as this is phenomenon which can be accu- rately foretold every one who may have occasion to travel on country roads should remember that for an hour and n half during the evening the moons rays will be withdrawn, and only tho feeble light of the stars will remain to light the way.

 MINNEAPOLIS, March 9.-"In two hours I will be a free man" Thus said Harry Hayward. and in less than three hours q jury gave the lio to his words and placed its seal upon the word guilty. With tho same immovable stolidity with which he has watched the trial of his case the pris- oner received the verdict of the jury. There was not the shade of a change in

Through a Threatening Crowd.

"Not yet, said Hayward loud enough to be heard in q radius of 20 feet. Mot quito a dead duck yet.
 Matters looked threatening for time The officers massed around their prisoner determinedly, and there would have been serious trouble had any effort been made at an attack.
 The entrance to tho jail was at last reached, and a side dodge sent dozen members of the crowd flying in different directions. Whatever the demonstration may have meant, it resulted in nothing Hayward was safely lodged in his cell.
 In the courtroom after the jurors were discharged dozens of friends crowded around them, and there was an old fash toned reunion. No restriction remained on tho jury, and they were willing to tell about their deliberations from the moment of retiring. It was learned that on the first vote taken Q unanimous verdict of guilty was reached. This vote was not taken until after dinner. There was not the shadow of dispute as to what the yer dict should be. It took but moment to clear tho courtroom. After announcing that sentence would be deferred till Mon- day morning Judge Smith at once left the bench At the request of the attorneys for the defense tho prisoners relatives were absent when the verdict was read. MT. and Mrs. w. W. Hayward. the prisoners parents. were both prostrated at the end of the mornings scenes. All through the progress of tho case they have stood the strain we'll, but the nearness of tho end was too much for them to contemplate Adry Hayward has not been in court for the last week. He has been at various places in the city. still in tho company of a deputy sheriff, but ho has avoided tho vicinity of the courtroom.
 For two hours after the verdict had been announced n crowd of people remained dis cussing tho case on the sidewalks and in the roads about the courthouse and jail Tho unanimous opinion seemed to be that the verdict was just one and that the truth had prevailed. It is understood that tho indispoSition of Mir. Erwin is really se- rious. After tho closo of his address he collapsed, and for two hours was almost unable to sec. Recovering to some extent, he at once left for St. Paul after express ing to his associate John Day Smith, re- gret at being unavoidably absent in the afternoon.
