DWIGHT L. MOODY
SLOWLY IMPROVES

East Mortified, Dec. I'D. L.
Moody had a very comfortable night
last night, and today his general symp-
toms were pronounced no less favorable
than they have been recently, while in
certain respects there We're signs of i'm
provement
1t was stated at the Moody house to-
day that the startling reports about
Mr.. Moodys illness which have ap-
peared at intervals since he was taken
sick are exaggerated. The family and
attendants consider that there is little
ground for grave fears, and that at
present the condition OF the patient Is
such as to cause them to feel hopeful
rather than otherwise.
Among the facts noted as indicating
improvement Is that Mr.. Moody dur
ing the last few days has been able
to rest while lying on his side This
had not previously been the case since
he became ILL., DR.. Woods, the family
physician, says that no change has
been made in the treatment of the

Boston and New York having agreed
with DR.. Woods diagnosis.
Ira ID. Sankey, who for many years
has been associated with Mr.. Moody
in evangelical work. was expected at
Northt1eld today to visit the family
During the day Mr. Moody continued
to rest comfortably, and there were de-
cided changes for the better in his
symptoms. DR.. Woods makes the
statement tonight that neither Dr.
Nicoll of New York. DR.. Shattuck Of
Boston, nor himself have ever said that
Mr.. Moody had Brights disease The
kidney trouble was caused by the weak
action of the heart, and its appearance
is fast leaving the patient.

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
Promised For This Evening
What to Look For

An eclipse of the moon this eve
ming rs promised for those parts of
North America and Europe where the
weather is favorable for observation
Inasmuch as this phenomenon belongs
to a class that the astronomers can pre-
dict with great precision, it is safe tc
count on better luck than with the re-
Gently hoped for meteor shower, about
which there was much uncertainty both
as to time and the extent of the dis
play.
The first encroachment of the earth's
shadow on the lunar disk should occur
at 6. As o'clock, 18TH meridian time. But
it will be probably 10 to 10 minutes later
before the outline of the moon is per-
ceptibly affected The shadow will
creep further and further on to the
moon until at S.26 o'clock the greatest
degree of observation will be reached.
The astronomers speak of this eclipse
as partial" because only 996-1000 of
the surface will be hid, according to
their calculations. But, inasmuch as
that remaining $1,000 is an exceedingly
small fraction, it may be assumed that
no one without powerful glass could
see the very thin line left uncovered.
To all appearance the eclipse will be a
total one for a few minutes, just be-
fore ana just after S.26 o'clock, 18th
meridian time. The shadow will then
slowly pass off, and at .06 o'clock the
moon VIII again be altogether clear. In
fact, it will require keen eyes to see
anything of the eclipse after 9.45 or
8 so o'clock.
Even at the moment of totality the
moon is never entirely hid from view.
Were 1t not for the earth's aerial en-
velope, the earth would cast such e. a
dense shadow that the moon could not
be seem but enough Of the SUMS rays
are bent out of their course, as they
pass this edge of the intercepting body,
to illuminate the moon family. The
exact amount of light that falls on the
lunar surface depends on the condition
of the weather at which is the rim
of the earth as seen from the moon.
Sometimes the latter has a deep copper
hue. and is so dusky that its contour
can hardly be distinguished. But
usually it can be seen very distinctly,
and some of its. scenery recognized.
There are light" and dark eclipses.

POPE PREPARES
FOR HOLY YEAR
Wishes Church Enjoyed Former
Liberty in italian Capital
The Peace Congress-

Rome, Dec. 15.-The text of the pope S
allocution at yesterdays consistory is
published today
The pontiff began by announcing the
appointment of the cardinals deputed
to open the sacred door of the Roman
basilica at the commencement Of the
holy year, He said he could have
wished that the church enjoyed her
former liberty in Rome, and that she
might thus have been enabled to cele-
brate publicly the contemplated cere-
monies with the solemn usages of by
gone years.
The pope then referred to the fact
that the Vatican was not invited to
send a representative to the peace con-
gress at The Hague, an omission
which, he said, had been "censured by
all impartial judges" The czar, he
continued, invited the representative
of the most powerful nations, with a
view of establishing peace, yet there
was none more worthy Of an invita-
ton than the pope, who had ever de-
sired to attain justice to make peace
and to prevent conflict-an office which
by the divine will, was within the at
tributes Of the papacy.
The holy see had desired a place in
that conference, continued the pontiff.
One voice had obstinately opposed it
self to this desire, and had gained the
point. 1t was the voice of those who,
with the conquest of Rome, had de-
prived the pope of his powers.
What hostility" asked the pontiff,
''have we to fear from them when,
even in the face of Europe, they do not
hesitate to violate the sanctity of the
rights and duties which naturally flow
rom apostolic powers Nevertheless,
whatever the future may bring, we
should certainly never, by Gods help,
be found on the side of those who are
afraid"
