IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE

Rolling in its vast orbit, this green old
sun last night and the moon appeared as
a disc of bronze in black sky that was
cloudless. At five and twenty minutes past
the seventh hour the moon was totally
eclipsed, there being merely dimmed glow
upon the rim to the southwark 1t was
spectacle witnessed twice in the lifetime of
few persons. The streets of the town were
crowded with people, and thousands of
them stopped to look upon scene in the
sky which thousands may not look upon
again. 1t was wonderful-the creeping
shadow as it touched the northern edge OF
the great globe of silver, which appeared
to the eye disc only. Slowly the shadow
crept across the pale nlooE'S pale face,
shiverng the light, darkenipg the heavens
and deepening the gloom of the night. It
was wondrous. The moon mouIfed higher
and grew DINNER, the mark of the shadow
being as distinct as the shade-lines cast
by tree in full foliage at high noon of a
summers day without clouds. When at
last the dead world of the upper deep was
suspended in complete shadow, 1t presented
weird, wondrous aspect to the dwellers
In this valley of the earth. Men grown old
had not seen the like before Before the
middle of the night the moon, undlmrned by
shadow, rode in full orbed splendor at the
zenith
Little beer is ever put on the market
that Is over two months and a half old, no
matter what is said to the contrary" Au-
gust Schfllenger, of the Phil Schillenger
Brewing company, said last night From
our brewery We try to send out three
months beer, and we succeed in not falling
below ten weeks beer. In the season of
cold weather, the beer trade falls off heavi-
ly. AS an instance, I saw five men at a
fashionable bar today. Four of them took
whisky and one drank beer. If 1t had been
July, all five of them would have taken
beer. That illustrates the point of my con-
tention. We do not turn off any of our men
during the winter, but we are unable to
give them work every day. They work by
turns SO that every man may have a

TO CENTRAL AMERICA
Birmingham Firm Makes Shipment
of It's Goods

The Huston Biscuit company of this city
yesterday shipped to Ismael Gonzales, a
wholesale grocery merchant at Progresa,
Yucatan, Central America, thirty-five boxes
OF assorted cakes, fancy biscuits and crack
ers. Senior Gonzales has had several CON
signments of the Huston goods before, and
the order shipped to him yesterday attests
the quality of the goods. The merchants
of Central America have hitherto preferred
to trade with England, Germany and other
European countries, and American manu-
facturers have never before been able to
gain a foothold in the tropics. This be-
ginning will doubtless lead to other large
orders, and The enterprise displayed by the
Huston company is certainly to be COM
mended.

KIND MASTER
Procures Surgical Relief for Faithful
Dog

Surely the man who is kind to dumb crea-
lures has much of the God-like spirit with
in him. Having a fine dog which was sick
with a tumor, F. Millienein carried the an
imal to the medical college yesterday aft
ernoon, and in an hours time a physi-
cfan had successfully removed the tumor
from the dogs side, and, if nothing hap
pens to prevent, the dog will soon be well.
Mr.. Millienein stated to a reorter that
his dog was a most intelligent animal and
that it was twenty years old. OF course,
the animal had to be chloroformed while
the operation was performed. Mr.. MILL
enein had his dog swathed in bandages,
and was carrying it to his home ON Thir-
teenth street, in little push wagon. The
dogs name is Lottie, and loves her mas
ter.

Congratulations Not in Order

From the Detroit Free Press
The amateur elocutionist was tossed and
torn by conflicting emotions.
The performance of the might before,
when he had appeared the sole entertain
err at charity function, the management
of which had paid him $40 for his services,
was the cause of it all.
But why MOURN
A friend burst in upon him to offer con-
gratulations. The friend had not attended
the recital.
"How did it go OFF," he asked cheeriy,
grasping the young mans hand in both of
his as he spoke. "Was the audience car
ried away?"
"N-n-no,' was the doubtful reply. ''They
left of their own accord"
Under such circumstances a person never
knows whether to smile or assume a sad
dened cast of countenance.

Runaway Horse

Last night about 1880 o'clock gray horse
attached to an empty vehicle ran away in
Twentieth street, and at Nineteenth street
and Third avenue ran against an old negro
man by the name of George Washington.
The horse knocked him down and kept on
In its reckless DASH The old was
carried to drug store in Nineteenth street,
between Third and Fourth avenues. Drs.
Mason and Brown, colored, treated him,
his wounds being of a trivial nature. 1t
could not be learned to whom the vehicle
belonged, or where it was stopped. Wash
ington is a carpenter, and lives at Smith
field.
