CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-A special from
Pittsburg says: According to a Pitts
burg manufacturer of steel bicycle
tubing, there viii be no cheap bicycles

grade wheels will be advanced to re-
coup the losses of the manufacturers
who suffered by the Introduction Of
the cheap machine and the war prices
of this year. The Pope Manufacturing
company, the Gormully & Jeffrey COM
pany and other leading makers of
high class bicycles have been at work
for some time trying to devise a
scheme by which the influence of cheap
bicycles should be checked. Their eff
forts eliminated during the week at a
meeting held in the Hotel Waldorf.

AS the black body of the moon slowly
encircled upon the sun, a sombre yell
lowish hue, gradually spread over the
sea and the mountains Of the Kunnen
promontory near by, and just before
totality a bank of grey clouds settled
over the top of these mountains. At
the same instant the temperature fell
two degrees, from SO to 81 degrees, and
we noticed perceptible chilliness in
the atmosphere. Tie faces of the pas
sengers assumed CHASTITY appearance,
and the on-rushing gloom cast wierd
color over the scene. The sea gulls flew
affrighted from the approaching dark
ness, and in silent awe we awaited the
moment of totality. 1t came so swift
ly that a shout of wonder echoed from
one end of the ship to the other, as we
gazed upon the marvellous sight before
US. The sun was entirely hidden from
view by the inky ball of the moon
which was partly edged with scarlet
prominences glowing like lurid flames
against the dazzling white of the in
ner corona. Beyond this, streamed the
silvery rays of the outer corona, dis
tinctly outlined against sky of cop
perry hue. The streamers directed from
the solar poles were shorter and less
brilliant than those extended along the
eastern line, whilst along the western
line streamer reached to a distance
equalling apparently three times the
diamater OF the sun. The planets, Jul
piter, Venus and Mercury shone with
great brilliancy, and many of the well
known consultations were plainly to be
seen. while the Pole star was almost
overhead. Just before totally the
western edge of the moon was outlined
with a dark line of vivid red light, and

blaze of glory, and the silvery corona
vanished-all too soon; but that i'm
pressive moment, occupying one minute
and thirty-fve seconds of time is one
that can never be forgotten 1t was
magnificent beyond all description, and
a sight but few enjoy in lifetime.
Assisted by the captain and the first
officer, l closely observed the eclipse
till the final contact, and within half
an hour of totality, clouds drifted
across the sun, resembling the clouds
upon the planet Jupiter. Just before the
last contact, the clouds were still drift
ing IN that direction. so that we had
to watch most carefully, in order that
we might detect the exact moment of
the final contact, which occurred at
16hs., Sem, OBS, Greenwich mean time.
Photographs had been taken of the
eclipse by DIR. Murray Jordan, of Ger
mantown, Pa, but only the inner cor
ona was visible. Observations of the
attendant phenomena were made by
Mr. John c. Ryder, of Boston, Mass,

Hon. Randolph Comstoek Of Crav.

Hon. Randolph Comstock, of Craw-
ford county, who was nominated by the
Democratic party at its primaries last
Saturday for g second term in the house
was not one of the noisest members of
the last house, but he was universally
respected and whenever he appeared ON
the floor in the advocacy of any
particular measure he was given the
closest attention and his remarks
carried force with them. He is a
teacher by profession, not yet 30 wears
old, and will make good representative
in the next house. Arkansas Democrat
Franklin county voters should beware
of the cry Of ''fraud'' and ring"
which a candidate for State Senator
from this county has been pouring into
their ears. Mr.. Douglass is the choice
of the Democracy of his county for that
position, having received good
majority at the recent election, and NOT
the slightest faint is connected with his
selection as the choice of this county.
We think the people of Franklin will
ere now have found out the reason for
his opponent being in the minority IN
his home county.
