Edward p, Page.

Mr.. Edward 2. Page, who was nOni.
mated for the legislature, Saturday last,
is one of Skowhegan's prominent
citizens and sagacious business men. He
has for about 20 years been the treasurer
of the Skowhegan Savings Bank, and for
20 years director of the First National
Bank of this town. He has given close
attention to the financial affairs OF these
two institutions, devoting his time to
the former with no apparent Interrupt
ton, but he has also been connected with
large business interests, thereby secur-
ing competency. He is an owner in
Kennebec timber lands and has extensive
lumber interests, alone and in connec-
ton with other gentlemen.
He is one of the principal stockholders
of the Skowhegan Electric Light and
Power Company and the president of its
board of directors. He has, through the
banking institutions with which he is
connected, done much in the interest of
business affairs of the town and to help
men engaged in business enterprises and
trade. His age is SO years. Norridge-
wock was his early home but he is as
essentially identified with Skowhegan
interests and Skowhegan people as
though it was the place of his nativity.

The Eclipse.

The eclipse that occurred Monday,
was watched with great interest espe-
cially along the line of its totality, in
the Southern States. Representatives
of universities and other institutions of
learning and of scientific societies in
America and Europe, were in evidence
in many favorable localities for observa-
ton, in large numbers.
In Washington the weather was slight
ly cloudy, which somewhat marred the
opportunities for getting satisfactory
observation of the eclipse.
The eclipse arrived just n few seconds
ahead of schedule time, but the irregu-
larity was so slight that an ordinary
observer could not have discerned it.
In this town and doubtless all over
Maine and other parts of our country,
where the phenomenon was partial, the
number of observers almost equalled the
whole population.

Sunday admitted for the first time that
matters were very grave. The Beers

a last stand on the Gatsrand mountains,
to the north of Potchefsroom, where
5000 Kaffirs are digging trenches.
President Kruger, according to a
special dispatch from Newcastle, has

sue for peace.
Lord Roberts with his troops entered
Johannesburg Wednesday without oppo.
sition, the Boer forces having retired.
The mines of the city were not destroy ed
as was feared they might be.
Pretoria was also occupied by British
troops. Pres Kruger left the capitol
before the arrival of Roberts forces and

dispatch of Wednesday states:
