Admiral Dewey and his charming
wife had their first quarrel last week
They were going out and he said she
ought to wear her overshoes. She said
she would not as they made her feet
look too large and they were clumsy
old things any way. lie said she
must wear them and they fired their
"you musts" and "I wonts" for some
time until the Admiral made q sud
den flank movement and said "Wcll
if you don't wear them, | will not
take any more of that tonic you
had the doctor to prescribe for me
the other day" That brought he,
to terms and she donncd the over
shoes.

Number Of Ecllpsos.

A year may pass without an
eclipse of tho moon, but thcro must
be two eclipses Of the sun every
year. This does not mean that every
person sees two eclipses every year.
But the moons shadow must fall
twice every year on some parts Of
earth, making two eclpses of tho sun,
six months apart rs was the case in
the years '93 and '97. More fire.
quently there arc four eclipses in the
year, one Of the sun and one of tho
moon two weeks apart, and six
months later another pair of similar
cclipscs as in '97. If an eclipse hap
pens very carly in January and one
very late in Dcccm bcr, there may be
seven in one year, as was the case in
1928. This is the greatest possible
number and happens very rarely.
In any number Of years there arc
more eclipses of the sun than of the
moon. Yet any person sees more
Lunar than Solar cclipses. Every
eclipse of the moon must be seen by
moro than half of the earth while a
Solar eclipse covers only very small
part of the carth's surface. An
eclipse Of the moon is caused by tho
shadow Of the earth falling on the
moon, and all who sees the moon
must see it with this shadow on its
face. An eclipse of the sun is caused
by the moon Ga small body near us)
coming between us and the sun, a
very distant body. The moon may
hide the sun from one country, while
a neighboring country has no shadow
of the moon on it, Just as a small
cloud may throw its shadow over
one field, while a field near by is in
the bright sunshine.
Total cclipscs of the sun occur
about on an average of one in two
years. Yet they are rare in any orc
place. London has gone five hun
drcd years at one time without one.
Eight total cclipscs of the sun have
passed over some part Of the United
States (including the coming onc),
during this century. A county in
North Carolina that saw the total
eclipse Of go will see that Of 1900.
This is very rare privilege.

"Sapho," sort of sensational
drama, has been well advertised in
New York. Olga Nethelsole and
her company were restrained from
giving the play. The matter got
into the courts. Last week the jury
decided that the play was all right
and the company will now give the
performance. After it has been pro.
nounced clean and decent the people
will not want to see it.

not only an evidence of weakness, but
is warning Of what may come. One
thing is to know it and another to
avoid it. If sudden changes come
either in or out of doors he must care
fully adapt himself to them. 1t is
the attention to comparatively little
things-the avoidance of draughts,
the cultivation of habits of temper
ancc i'll eating and drinking, the alb
solute obedience to oil hygcnic rules
which can make one reasonably
safe. With the virulently morbid
influence everywhere this is no time
for triilng with changes for infection.

Neal Is Given a Verdict.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 10.-The
first of the cases against Colonel
Neal, former Superintendent of tho
Penitentiary, that for brecch of trust
with fraudulent intent and grand
larceny, ended to- night at 10 O'Clock,
the jury bringing in verdict of not
guilty. 1t was the case in which
Colonel Ncal, depositing a draft paid
to him rs superint endent, had put
portion to the credit of the peniten-
tiary and part to his private account.
lie claimed part of that pu, to his
private account was due for expen-
ses. Tho prosecution could not
clearly separate this money and
show whore the wrong-doing began.
The defense put up no witnesses. A
similar case has been mol pressed.
Tomorrow Colonel Neal will 60 on
trial for appropriating State funds in
several cases. This is under q law
provided for in the new constitution.
That is good news that comes
from Washington thht the United
States Supreme Court has handed
down decision in the case of T.. B.
Wesley against Howard p. Ellis
denying the validity of the revenue
bond scrip. This is the case carried
up there by Mr.. w. II. Lylcs and
grew out Of the celebrated Agri-
cultural Hall case in which Mr..
Wesley was seeking to force this
State to recognize the validity of the
revenue bond scrip. He bought the
Agricultural Hall with this object in
view knowing that the State would
resist it in The courts and tho Su-
prcme Court decides that a specific
performance of contract on the
part of purchaser could not be en-
forced when it is found that the pur-
chaser is buying a lawsuit.

Tho Coming Eclipse.

by DIR. Carlisle:
Louis XIV of France Q710-177D
asked or commanded one Of the
French astronomers to find out when
he could hope to see a total eclipse
of the sun. A list Of eclipscs was
laboriously prepared. If the King
had lived to this day in Paris he
would never had the coveted privi-
lcgc. The coming eclipse will not
be total in Paris. In 1S47 a cen
tral eclipse passed over Paris, Int the
disk of the moon was two small to
hide all tho face Of the sur, it being
only an annular eclipse.
Will some Of the oldest residents
in Charleston tell of the total eclipse
Of 1884, November 30? a reference
to the files of tho Charleston Courier
might be of interest. The present
generation will soon have the
rare privilege OF being pleased
and startled, even awcd, by this
great object lesson. The moons
dark shadow will cross our State
May IS, in path about fifty miles
wide, nearly parallel to our scacost
and a little above the middle Of the
State. Take a map Of South Caro-
lima, lay ruler, touching Ncwbcrry
and Winnsboro. Draw straight
line between these two towns, pro-
longing the line each way to the
edge OF Georgia and North Carolina.
The center of the moons shadow
will move very nearly along that
line, passing over Lancaster. Draw
4 line on each side Of that parallel to
it about twenty-five miles distant.
That belt will very nearly cover the
section on which the eclipse will be
total. 1t is striking to see how many
towns will be covered. The upper
line runs very near Abbcvillc, l.au-
rcnS, Union, Yorkvillc ; the lower to
Elgciicld, Lexington, Columbia,
Camden, Bcnncttsvillc.
This total belt will be prolonged
to the Old World, ending in North
rrn Egypt, near the Red Sea.
1t is safe to predict that the
eclipse will be honorcd by q more
numerous company of expert gazers
than ever studied any similar phc-
nomcnon. In the two minutes of
the total eclipse many questions will
be asked of the sun and moon. Some
will probably he answered and yet
the answers will suggest new ques-
tons, thus illustrating the saying
that rs we enlarge the circle Of light
we onl y enlarge the surrounding cir
Gle Of darkness.
The newspapers, our great public
educators, will prepare old and young
to look intclligcntly on the wonder
iul spectacle. Our officials in the
national observatory have issued an
instructive pamphlet with maps.
