LUNAR ECLIPSE
Excited Great Interest and Caused a
 Stir Among Surprised Citizens.

The total eclipse of the moon pre- dicted for Tuesday night occurred on schedule time It had not been extensively advertised and came in the nature of surprise to many of our citizens, among whom it caused great stir.
 The entire duration of the eclipse was 3 hours, IS minutes and 54 sec onds, and for l hour, 29 minutes and F seconds the eclipse was to- tai, ending at 7:36 o'clock. At 6:15 utter darkness prevailed and people on the streets at that hour wonder ed what was the matter that the bright moon-lit nights of the past week had suddenly changed to Utter darkness. Those who were not posted on astronomical matters were taken by complete surprise, while It caused some alarm among the superstitious. The gath of the moon being directly through the central portion of the earth's shad- ow, caused an obscuration of it's beams for nearly four hours.
 1t was very beautiful and long to-be-remembered sight. During the total eclipse it had the appear anee of "bloody moon, and among those who knew that an eclipse was on it excited many humorous com ments, while among others the phe- nomenon was viewsd with degree of uneasiness and alarm, especially in eolored circles.
 After the period of the eclipse the moon shone as brightly as before.
 The next astronomical attraction is booked for May 28. 1899, at which time there will be total eclipse of the sun, visible in this section.

SENATOR MORRILL,. DIED IN WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY AT 1:25
 A. M.
THE OLDEST SENATOR.
For Forty Three Years Senator Justin s. Morrill, Has Been
 aPublic Servant.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Hon. Jus tin s. Merrill, the senlor senator from Vermont, died at 25 minutes past l o'clock this morning in the 89th year of his age, after an illness of less than week. With him, when the end came, were his sisterin-law, Mrs. Louise Swan, his son James, MT. Benjamin Durfee, for long time associated with the Senator in the finance committee work at the capital, and Col s. F. Chamberlain, an intimate friend. Senator Proctor was in the house at the time, as were also several other friends. The Senator never recovered from the unconscious state into which he lapsed early in the day and his death was calm and peaceful.
 The immediate cause of death was pneumonia. which developed from an attack of grip, contracted about a week ago. The venerable senator was confed to his home but seven days. Despite his advanced age he attended his senatorial duties faith fully and regularly went to the cap itol. About ten days ago the wealth CT was cold, raw and foggy and his physician thinks that exposure to it's rigors brought on the attack of grip. The day before Congress ad- journed for the Christmas holidays the Senator was unable to leave hls residence. He grew no better as the days went on, his low vitality due to advanced age, being unable to resist the disease. On Christmas night it developed into pneumonia and from that time until the end he sank steadily.
 No definite arrangements have been made. It is altogether likely that public service will be held in the Senate chamber but just when cannot now be stated. The remains of Mrs. Morrill,, who died during the present year, are now in vault at Rock Creek cemetery, near this city, and it may be that the Sena. tors body will be deposited there pending removal to Strattord, Vt where a mausoleum is DOW in course of construction.

HELEN LOVELADY DEAD.
Passed Away At 3:45 O'clock This
 Morning.

Miss Helen LoYelady expired at 3:45 o'clock this (W ednesday) morn ing after brief illness.
 She was the daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. c. LoYelady, and at the time of her death was in her 18th year.
 Her death was attended with sad and remarkable circums sances.
 Last Saturday she was down town shopping and on Christmas day was apparently well and happy.
 Monday morning while engaged in her domestic duties she became suddenly attacked by convulsions and fell over on the bed uncon- scious. [ She never regained con sciousness. The cause of her ail- ment is mystery and baffied the skill of the physicians.
 The death of Miss Lovelady re. moves one of Pine Bluffs prettiest and most popular young ladies. She was esteemed not only for her grace and beauty of person, but al- so for her noble characteris tics of head and heart. She was uniform ly polite and kind, and seemingly delighted in conferring favors upon and serving others. She was one of our city's most beloved and es- teemed you z ladies, and her sad and sudden death has cast the gloom Of sorrow over the entire commun- ity.
 The bereaved father and mother, and brother have the heart felt sorrow and sympathy of their numerous friends h the loss of their loyable young daughter and sister, who was just developing into noble womanhood.
 ! 1.-The funeral will take place from Trinity Episcopal Church Thursday morning at II o'clock, Rev. ". D. Buckner officiating.

What "Sipg Song of Six Pence, Means.
 You all know the rhyme, but have you ever heard what 1t really means?
 The our-and-twenty blackbirds represented the twenty-four hours. The bottom of the pie is the world, while the top crust is the sky that over arches 1t. The opening of the pie is the day dawn, when the birds begin to sing, and surely such sight is fit for King.
 The King, who is represented as sit ting in his parlor counting out his money, is the sun, while the gold pieces that slip through his fingers, as he counts them, are the golden sunbeams.
 The Queen, who sits in the dark kitchen, is the moon, and the honey with which she regales herself is the moonlight.
 The industrious maid, who is in the garden at work before the King-the sun has risen, Is day-dawn, and the clothes she hangs out are the clouds. The birds who, so tragically, end the song by "nipping off her nose" is the sunset. So we have the whole day, if not in a nutshell, in a pie.

THE FAIR ASSOCIATION
Will Hold Stockholders MesfinG
 Thursday Evening"

A meeting Of the stockholders of the Fair Association has been called Tor Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock sharp. It is important that every stockholder be present. The ques- tion of discontinuing or dissolving the Fair Association will come up TOT discussion. The Association has over $3, ,O00 invested in buildings anu mprovements at the Fair grounds with an indebtedness of aoout Sl, 900 hanging over it. Two ia'rs have been held, and yet the property of the association, exclus- rye ot the debt. amounts to as much as mas been paid in by subscribers ana stockholders. If the Fair is oiscontlnued this investment will be total loss. With street cars and ialr weather next fall, and with no additional expenses to be incurred lor further improvements, there is uo reason why the Fair in ihe future 'uouio not be financial success. These questions are to be discus seq by the stockholders Thursday ",'ecnoon and there should be tulI attendance.

Lnnceyifx in Fish.

There seems hardly any limit to the age of fish of many kinds. Carp are known to have lived 200 years and over, while the case of the Russian pike that was caught few years ago with a gold band around its tail on which the date 1546 was imprinted is we'll known. There are gold fish that have belonged to one family over 6O years, and do not now appear much larger than when originally placed in the acquarium, though they are every bit as lively as ever. In the royal aquarium of St. Petersburg there are fish to-day that are known to have been there at least 150 years. Some Of them are five times as big as when first captured; others have not grown an inch.

The great advantage of this suit Is that the diver need not work under an atmospheric pressure exceeding that on the surface, for the escape of air is provided through a floating tube, the valve of which is kept at any height to suit the diver. The diver whose pho- tograph is reproduced in our picture went to a depth of 1855 feet the first time he tried the new suit and remain ed below for 50 minutes. but felt as we'll as in thirty feet of water with the old apparatus. This does not neeessa- rily mean the limit of the depth for the new apparatus.

TELEGRAPHING IN SPAIN.

It Is Generally Attended With Much
 Difficulty and Uncertainty.
 The Spanish ceremonies which ac- company the handling of telegram would be amusing were they not so irksome and time-killing. You ap- proach a little window in the one office In the city, and, when your turn comes, hand in your message. The clerk counts the words couple of times over, adds up the result of each page, refers to the written tariff, and finds out what the cost is i'll francs. Then he takes another slip of paper, finds out what the rate of exchange is at the moment, and reduces the francs to Spanish pesetas. Finally, he reads out the result-say, 597 pesetas, 35 cen- times. You engrave these figures in your memory, and leaving the hall. go out to another widow in a passage outside, and there await your turn, re- beating always the number 597,35 till the clerk asks you what you want. Then you explain that you are come to purchase Spanish stamps for the sum of 597 pesetas and 35 centimes, and then you take out note for 1000 pesetas. The passage is dark on the brightest day, and you accept the stamps and your change in spirit of true religious faith, for you see not even darkly as in a glass When you return to the inner sanctuary and help to make a queue, awaiting your turn again, the chances are that you find yourself short of stamps. in conse- quence of a mistake on the part of clerk outside. This happened twice to me, but I am bound to say the indi- vidual discovered and rectified his err TOT, so that my only loss was of about l thirty-fiye minutes more.
