The eclipse of the moon was not
visible Sunday night owing to The.
fact that the moon was almost en-
tirely hidden by cloud. Shortl0
after 9 o'clock the moon was visible
enough to show black eye, but an

more took refuge behind dark
storm cloud and was lost to view

1t is stated that Cardinal Gibbons
who for some time past has been
contemplating a visit to Rome, will
go there early i'll May. He was in
vited to go last November, and had
arranged to make the trip at that
time, but circumstances compelled
him to postpone it, 1t is said that
the trip as at present arranged will
certainly be made if something un-
forseen does not occur to prevent.
The Cardinal will sail from New
York early in the first week in May,
and will be accompanied by Rev. 9.
f. Thomas rector of the Cathe-
dral.
A hat is an interesting thing to
experiment with, you can wear it so
many different ways. The writer
knows a woman who wears a small,
round sailor hat of uncertain color
and material. 1t is trimmed with
cocks feathers, black ribbon and
jet, and when she tips it back on
her head she looks the worst CO.
quette in Allegany county. When
she brings it well down upon her
forehead she seemed the demurest
person in the city. If it gets tipped
to one side she looks gay. And it is
the same hat and she is the same
woman all the Time. .-CuiC1 Nsn iltH1 z

One day last week JudgeND a
ordered Col. A. G. Sturgiss, re-
ceiver of the Oakland branch of the
Iron Hall to distribute the funds in
his hands to the members of the
order. The amount Col. Sturgiss
had on hand was about $1,700,
which has been paid out by him,
the members receiving about A per
cent. of the amount paid in by
them. Had the money been sent
to the receiver at Indianapolis it is
said that no one connected with the
order would have received more
than 5 per cent. of the amount paid
in. The Oakland branch is the
only one in the State refusing to
turn over the funds to the general
receiver.
Something should be done to abate
the tramp nuisance that is not an
moving this and other towns. 1t is
growing daily worse. The residents
in the outer portions Of town are
particularly pestered with these vag-
rants, many of them being great,
strong men capable of doing big
days work. They usually manage
to call at house after the men have
left for their places of business,
thinking the women will be afraid
to refuse their request for bread,
and in case of refusal their language
and conduct towards women are
often insolent and offensive. 1t is
unfortunate these able bodied idlers
could not be made to work on the
streets or roads, or some other way
to earn the bread they beg from
those who do work. There are of
course some real objects to charity
among these tramps, but the most
of them are lazy buns trying to beat
their way through the world with
out work.
