or totality he will see the sun totally
eclipsed for about ninety seconds
There are five things with which enc
should occupy himself in connection with
the progress Of an eclipse, and even out
side the path of totality some of these
things are perfectly possible. First, one
should observe through smoked (not
stained) glass the steady advance of the
moon encroaching upon the face of the
sun, as If actually eating away its very
mass Second, one should take note of
the slowly fading light over the landscape
and particularly Of the little images of the
sun cast upon the ground between the
leaves of trees, which will not be round
discs as usual, but in the same crescent
forms which the sun itself is assuming.
Third, one who Is within the path of
totality should withdraw his eyes from
the sun just before the total phase is
reached, and, situated on an elevated
spot, should look far to the southwest
miles if possible-and behold the awe
inspiring spectacle Of the black shadow
Of the moon rushing toward him silently
but irresistibly at the fearful rate of
1000 miles a minute; swift glance should
then be taken at the immediate surround
ing landscape so suddenly plunged into
night Fourth, one should quickly turn
his gaze again upon the sun, and hold it
there while the totality continues, with
POs79ACAS
every detail of the wondrous spectacle.
Fifth, the instant the suns light breaks
out, he should withdraw his eyes from
that body and turn them to the north
east, where he viii see the black shadow
that has just passed him, rushing sea-
ward, and the glorious daylight, sudden
ly restored enveloping the entire land
scape once more. To have such an ex-
penence as this is ever to be remem-
bered as one of the profound occasions Of
ones terrestrial existence.
Some of the stars may come out to
view during the eclipse One should look
for them; the only planet near the sun
will be Mercury, just at his right; but
probably too near to be seen on account
of the brilliancy of the corona. Venus will
hardly be above the eastern horizon,
which Is to be regretted, as otherwise
she would present a daylight spectacle
greatly enhancing the effectiveness of the
occasion. The astronomers do not eX-
pect to make any startling discovery dur
ing the eclipse, but they are buoyed up
by the hope of finally settling the ques-
ton as to whether or not there is
planet between the sun and the planet
Mercury.

AIAFEKING,s RELIEF.
How the Residents Took the Arrival
of Lord Roberts Force.

MAFEKING, Friday, May 18.-This is
how Mafeklng took the relief: Family
from the northwest, about 80 p. m, Nay
16, was heard the sound Of artillery. Col.
Baden-Poweu went up to the lookout.
The women and children were on the
house tops, and most Of the men were
manning the works.
Maj. ,LacKenzie, Of the headquarters
staff, tumbled downstairs at with q
pigeon in his hands. in a few seconds
the dispatch was on the table and the
code books were out. Col. HamburyTas
sig called out:
"They left Masibin this morning and
are drawing in"
The fight must have lasted three hours
when, through our glasses, the Beers
could be seen stretching out In retreat.
At sunset the garrison seized the Stand
ard and Diggers fort and seized the
Beers as they passed. Darkness was
drawing on when Maj. Karey-Davis, with
eight horsemen, entered Market square.
The town took the relief quietly. A troop
er stopped a passer-by and said:
Hi, we're the relief column"
oh indeed" said the citizen, Eve heard
you were outside" and the citizen pro-
ceeded On his errand.
well, I'm damned" said the trooper,
but he takes it pretty cooly,"
The party dismOunted at the staff Office,
where q crowd gathered and cheered for
the first time in seven months. Then the
troops in the outer forts cheered. When
the relieving column marched in at a.
m. there was plenty of whisky.

GROOTVIEL (twenty-three miles south
of Vereeniging), Sunday, May H.-Lord
Roberts northern advance force steadily
continues, and today the Transvaal hills
were sighted. Gen French has secured
an excellent f1anking position en- the
northwest. There is something irresisti-
bic about this advance. The troops hava
been splendidly handled, and the Beers,
completely outmaneuvered, have been
forced to abandon their positions at the
first appearance Of the British thanking
force, which has made a determined re-
sistance at the VaaI impossible.
Many TransvaaI burghers are now trek
king homeward, and 1t Is safe to say that
the most irreconcilable Transvaaler at
last recognizes the hopelessness Of tho
struggle. Most Of the Farms in the north
ern part Of the Free State, where the
ties of blood with the Trans
Vaal are the strongest have been
deserted. This section has been flooded
with false tales of British cruelty, re-
ports of the burning of farmhous and
the eviction of women ana children, in
the hope of inducing the burghers to re-
main with the commandos, but the evil
dence all points to the existence of per-
manent feeling Of enmity between the
Transvaalers and the Free Staters, each
accusing the other Of treachery and cow
ardice.
1t is regarded as unlikely that the
Transvaal government will go TO Lyden.
burg, where food is scarce. A body OF
Beers, mostly on foot, is treklSing hard
towards Vereeniging from the direction OF
Heilbron. The condition of the British
troops continues excellent, although the
conditions are very trying. They are abba
to march three miles an hour. The Beers
have destroyed every bridge and culvere.
They are said to regard klipriyerberg,
north of the Vaal as a position Of great
strength and work to make themselves
impregnabe there.
They report that the burghers at Jo-
hannesburg are in a high state Of excite
ment. The Beers who are passing north
are threatening to blow up the m.nss
there, and In view of their wanton de-
struction of everything else, it would not
be surprising if they carried out their in

the water, however, than in the mines.

STOLEN PECKS OF GEMS
NOTORIOUS DIAMOND THIEF UNDER
ARREST INLEIPSIC.

CHICAGO, May N-The Chicago police
say that a man under arrest in Leipsic,
Germany, on the charge of stealing $4,000
worth of diamonds is Charles Woodward
alias Williams alias Anderson, alias Wat
son, alias Wright, who has been absent
from Chicago nineteen years. Woodward
Is known as one of the, cleverest thieves
In the world. and has earned the cog
nomen of the diamond swallower''
through repeated acts of that kind in
order to escape conviction. He has stolen
half million dollars worth of diamonds
and has served nearly twenty years in
Jafls and penitentiaries in this country
and In Europe. In the sixty years of his
life Woodward has become celebrated all
over the world through his penchant for
stealing diamonds
He caused big sensation in Chicago
IN 1913, when on Aug. 10 of that year
he stole $4,000 worth of diamonds from
a jewelry salesman in the Palmer house.
He was arrested shortly afterward by
William Pinkerton, and the only gem he
had in his possession which belonged to
the lot stolen from the salesman he
swallowed. He was convicted, neverthe-
less, and sent to Joliet to serve year
He left the penitentiary Jan. !, 1880, and
after living few months in Chicago dis
peared and, although he was arrested
numerous times afterwaTd, he never re-
turned to this city so far as the police
know.
His arrest in Germany occurred four
weeks ago and came to the notice of the
Chicago authorities in a letter to Supt
George Porteous, of the National Bureau
of Identification, in which the president
of police of Berlin said that he had in
custody two men, charged with the theft
of $4,000 worth of gems in Leipsic. One
of them gave the name of Edward Nor
ton, the other James Hawkins The let
ter was accompanied by pictures of the
men and their Bertillon measurements.
Supt. Porteous says:
Morton is Charles Woodward and
Hawkins is John Harkins, who is
wanted In Pittsburg on the charge of
stealing several hundred dollars worth
of precious stones. kilograms from Ber-
lin said the men had been in Leipsic but
a short time when they swindled a mer-
chant of that city out of fortune in dia-
monds by pretending to be wealthy
travellers who wanted to settle in that
country, and wished to invest their money
In diamonds. They induced their victim
to bring the gems to a hotel and it took
the sWindlers only short time to part
him from them. They were getting ready
to leave the city when they We're ar
rested.

FOUR ARE CONSECRATED
NEW BISHOPS OF THE METHODIST
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

CHICAGO, May N.-By the laying on
of hands of twelve bishops, and in the
presence of 1900 persons at the Auditori-
um, four new bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal church were consecrated this
afternoon. The newly consecrated bish-
ops are: David Hastings Moore, assign
ed to the Shanghai district; John Will
lam Hamilton, assigned to the San Fran
cisco district; Edwin Wallace Parker and
Frank Wesley Warne, missionary bish-
ops, assigned to India and Malaysia. The
ceremonies were brief and simple. The
delegates to the conference and hun
dreds of their friends came forward
when the services were at an end and
crowded to the stage to congratulate
the four new bishops.
On the stage were seventeen bishops,
the four bishops-elect and eight elders.

led in the singing of 'Heralds of the
Cross" The audience then recited the
creed, and Bishop Joyce led in prayer.
Bishop McCabe led in singing THE Min
listers Only Business" the collect was
recited by Bishop Fitzgerald, the epistle
by Bishop Hartzell and the gospel by
Bishop Thoburn. Bishop Bowman, who
was presiding, then advanced and stood

SECRET INQUIRY.

The two men were taken before the
board on Ellis Island this morning. The
inquiry was secret. The only one at the
barge office to meet the two men, and
who showed any interest in their behalf,
was Rocky Mountain O'Brien. After the
meeting Of the board it was learned that
Fitzharris was the first of the two to be
examined by the members. He admitted
he had served nearly seventeen years in
prison. After being asked the usual ques-
tions as to his age, nativity and residence.
Fitzharris was asked of what crime he
had been convicted and answered:
Treason"
He was then questioned as to this
charge, and he told the board that he
had been arrested about nine months
after the famous Phoenix park murders,
in company with twenty three others.
These twenty-three were accused of hav-
ing been accessories after the fact, while
Fitzharris was charged with having been
an accessory before the fact. Three
months later he was brought to trial with

ATLANTA, Ca, May 2.-Cloudless
skies are-reported tonight from the vari-
Gus impromptu observatorIes scattered
along the shadow track of tomorrow
mornings eclipse from Alabama to North
Carolina. The observers in charge at the
different stations were in a highly hope
ful mood tonight when, in addition to
favorable local outlooks, Prof. Moore's
special bulletin forecasting propitious
conditions for tomorrows event was re-
ceived. Many of the astronomers, in or
der that no chance be overlooked, and
that even the possibility of accident may
be removed, will remain up all night. In
struments are being gone over and given
a final adjustment and everything Is in
exact order for the mornings work The
path of the eclipse takes a course across
portion of the globe starting in the Pa
cifc ocean at a point southwest Of Cape
st. Lucas, in lower California. 1t will
be first observed on land on the west
coast of Mexico, whence the moons
shadow travels at a velocity of 1000
miles an hour, being total at New Or
leans at 1880 in the morning, and on the
Atlantic coast at or near Norfolk about
one hour later.
TWO POINTS OF VIEW.
The United States observers have set
tied upon two points-Pinehurst, N. c.,
and BarnesviIe, Ca, was the very best
for observation, owing in the first place
to their being right in the center of the
path of totality," and in the second to
the probable clearness of the atmosphere
there at this season of the year.
To these points they have transported
several tons of special apparatus and
have erected the largest cameras ever
constructed for Photographic operations.
1t is the special desire of the astronomers
TO obtain numerous photographs, not only
of the oscultauOn and transit of the sun
and moon, but of the various solar phe-
nomena, such as the corona, the photo
sphere and the chromOsphere-those vast
seas of incandescent gases which are said
to extend one million miles on each side
of the sun, while jets of flame in the
CHI omosphere are thought to rise to a
height of 16O 900 miles.

tiOn will take it's stand at Tripon. in

In Atlanta the eclipse will be almost

ity to observe the eclipse, it has been de-

Time of the Eclipse as Seen
Here.

Time of the Eclipse as Seen
NORTHFIELD, Mimi, May 27.-Accord-
Ing to calculations made by astronomy
students at Goodseu observatory, the time
OF the partial eclipse next Monday will
be as toIiOWs: Beginning $50 a. m:
maximum, 1;4S a. m; end S:37 a. m
About twO-thirds or three-fourths of the
suns surface will be covered by the moon
at the maximum.
These figures are about the same as
may be expected to be observed in ST.
Paul. An astronomer writes:
If the sun ana moon meet exactly at
a junction point the eclipse is either an
nular or total; If annular, then an annu-
lus or ring cf the suns light is seen about
the body of the moon, the sun at the time
being too near and the moon too far to
make it possible for the latter completely
to cover the face of the former; if il be
total the apparent size of the two
bodies is such that the moon hides the
entire sun.

cealed a luminous envelcp, completely
