DECIDE SATURDAY
About Whether Labor Day Will Be
 Celebrated in Pine Bluff.

The two committees, those from the citizens and four great railroad organizations, held a conference yesterday afternoon, to discuss the proposition of holding Labor Day celebration in this city. At the meeting it was decided to make no decision until another conference between the committees, to be held Saturday, was had, at which time a program will be arranged, if it is decided to hold the celebration in Pine Bluff.
 The labor organizations will say what is expected of the business men of the city, in event of the cele. bration, in carrying out the pro gram and name the day for the event.
 The GRAPHIC trusts that the cele- bration will take place here, aud that it will not be necessary. .fer the 400 members of the four 4bor ors ganizations, with their families and friends, to go elsewhere for recrea- tion and amusement, Our business men should offer them every induce ment to remain in Pine Bluff, for should they do so, hundreds of visi- tors along the lines of the-railroads and from other towns will come here, and this will be a big thing for our town.

THE ECLIPSE.
The Face of Old Sol Partially 0b scured by the Moon Passing
 Through the Shadows
ofsth3 Earth

A partial eclipse of the sun was observed here today from 7:30 10 10 9. m. and the small boys and older citizens, with pieces of glass, were out intently watching the effects as the moon passed through the shad ows of the earth.
 To the naked eye the brilliant sun light had a tinge of shadow and those who observed the sun closely found just an indentation on the lower part of it's figure.
 The eclipse was total along line of about twenty-five miles in breadth, beginning 1 300 miles west of Mexico in the Pacific ocean, pass ing north of Hayti through the Windward Islands and ending in the middle of the South Atlantic aeean
 Those livfnssin the helt say the, moon placed centrally over the face of the sun, but not large enough to shut oft light entirely. q narrow ring of sun light remaing visible.
 On each side of the line, to dis tance of 2,300 miles, .he eclipse was partial, the portion of the sun con cealed being smaller father north or south the observer happened to be.
 There was no eclipse visible north of the 56th parallel of latitude, while parallel with Washington one-half of the sun was obscured
 During the pastAeighteen years there have been forty-two zeclipses of the sun and twenty-seven of the moon Eleven only of the solar eelipses were visible in the United States, the most interes ting of which was that of March 5, 1886.
 The lunar eclipse is caused by the the moon passing through the shad- ows of the earth and presents the same appearance to every observer no matter where situated.
 A solar eclipse is caused by the passage of the moon between the earth and the sun, and appears diff ferent to observers at different standpoints.
 It fas long been known to astron- omers that eighteen years eonsti- tutes a cycle within which both SO lar and lunar eclipses repeat them selves, occurring in the same order and under nearly the same circum- stances as during the preceding eighteen years. h 1879, just eigh- teen years ago, there were two an nular eclipses of the sun. These will be repeated in 1897.
