Church yesterday morning, when the
pastor of the church, Rev. j. w. Easley,
in the course Of a special sermon to
them, placed the name Of Lee before that
of Grant.
The veterans were at loss to account
Tor this action on the part of the clergy
man and the matter was discussed hy
them during their march back to their
post rooms. Some veterans ventured the
opinion that the preacher was probably
from the South.
The veterans were from DUPONT,
Smith and Sheridan Posts ana there
were some Sons OF Veterans with them.
Rev. Easley's sermon was an elcquent
one and he dwelt on the fact that the
ballot was mightier tlan the sword.
1t was in the beginning of the sermon
when he was speaking of this couutrv's s
great men that he mentioned Lee before
Grant.
Some time ag l,av. Easley preached a
sermon against the theatre. in the course
of which he stated that no Shakespearean
plays had been produced in the city this
season. Several had, however, appeared
at the Grand Opera House. Manager

THE SUNS ECLIPSE TODAY.
Beautiful Spectacle to be Seen
This Morning.
Visible Throughout the United
States, but Especially Interesting
ut Norfolk, to Which a
Special Train Carries
Many Persons.

Much interest is being manifested
among the astronomers and also the
general public in TIE total eclipse OF the
sun which will occur this morning, A
total eclipse is most beautiful and i'm
pressive spectacle at any time, but that
which gives it so much Importance this
year is that it will be visible in large
section OF the United States
During the nineteenth century there
has occurred about seventy eclipes OF
various degrees of totality and only eight
total eclipses have been visible on the
NorthAmerican continent. The next one
will not be until 1918. Astronomers
from all over the country are stationed
at different points in the South to study
and photograph the eclipse.
The first sign of the approach of the
eclipse is little dark notch, which
seems to grow somewhere on the west
ern edge Of the SUMS outline. This notch
is really the apaque body of the moon
which is now passing across the sums
face. Gradually the notch grows and
gradually twilight deepens, until, at last,
the black globe of the moon hangs alone
in the heavens like wafer pasted on
the FURNISHED sky.
1t is at this moment that is seen the
most spectacular part of the impressive
spectacle. All around the moons Opaque
globe, and streaming out from it like the
glowing petals about the black centre o
sunfower, is that brilliant effulgenct
which astronomers call the corona.
The eclipse will reach totality at New
Orleans at about 7.30 O'Clock this morn
ing, ar d at Norfolk at about one hou
and half later. The duration of totality
at New Orleans is one minute and six
teen seconds. and slightly less than on,
minute ond a half at Norfolk.
At 1910 O'Clock last night specia
train consisting OF six day coaches anC
two sleeping cars, all of which were tillet
with passengers, passed through thi
city enroute to Norfolk to witness TIN
eclipse. The train was made up il

WORDS OF EUL0GY FOR
THE LATE FATHER FALLON
The Rev. Francis Burgette Short
Eulogizes the Catholic Priest
From a Methodist Church.

HIOlh u SnuFCHs
From a Methodist pulpit comes a most
beautiful tribute to the late Father Fal-
lon of St. Patrick's r. G. Church. Dur
ing the course of sermon on the text
"They may rest from their labors' at
Epworth Church last night the Rev.
Francis Burgette Short referred in broth
erly and eulogistic terms to the esteemed
Catholic priest. Mr.. Short said
"Since last we worshipped here two
servants of God have gone to their rest
and reward. refer to the Rev. G. P.
Swain and the Rev. M. Y. Fallon. One
was Methodist, the other Romanist,
but, better than either, they were both
Christians. They toiled for Christ and
humanity, laying aside not the weapons
of warfare until the Great Shepherd of
the sheep called them home. Brother
Swain is dead? Only SO far as mortality
is concerned. He rests from his magni-
ficent labors. Brother Fallon dead? Not
dead, but resting-the rest of the just
and diligent toier in Gods vineyard.
"Do you wonder at my saying, Brother
Fallon? Then wonder no more, for he
who acknowledges my Lord and Master
as his Lord and Master who is striving
to make the world better and reach
heaven at last and that is loyal to the
flag that / love, he is my brother. :
= May we all so live and so die that
OF truth it may be written on our grave
stone-At Rest At Rest! And unto the
Father, and the Son, and the Holy
Ghost, we will praise for ever and for
ever"
