the weather bureau predicts i, may be
Savannahians will have the opportunity
of seeing the nearest to total eclipse of
the sun that they will see in long time
and maybe never again.
The weather headquarters at Washing
ton predicts fair. bright and beautiful
day for the eclipse. Many thousands of
interested people sincerely hope that the
weather clerk has made no mistake. The
assistant observer at the Savannah office
said that he was unable to make any
forecast last night or to give any Of
fetal hint whatever as to the outlook for
the weather in this vicinity to-day.
The eclipse will begin al 7:31 O'Clock, will
reach the greatest point Of observation,
94ls per cent. of the SUMS surface at SAP
o'clock. and win end at 1853 O'Clock.
With clear weather given as an indis-
pensable prerequisite, the beginning of
the partial eclipse in this country will be
visible first at sunrise about 100 miles
inland from the Pacific coast along
line running parallel with the sea board
and cutting through Sacramento, Cal,
while in the far East its beginning will

Soudan and Congo country.
Many Savannahians will have to get up
little earlier than usual this morning f
they see all of the eclipse that is visible
here. The school children will have
chance 10 see the first haif, the middle
and some of the decline of the shadow be-
fore school hours. so there will be no ne
cessity for a holiday.

TO ASK FOR EARLY CLOSING.
PRESSURE WILL BE BROUGHT TO
BEAR BY LADIES.

They VIII BE out This Morning
With Agreements to Be Signed.
They Want Retail stores Closed
From June L Till Sept. 1 at
O'clock and During the Rest of the
Year at in the Evening, Save on
Christmas and the Week Before
Easter - Organizations Have En-
dorsed the Scheme for Early Clos
ing.
Concerted pressure will be brought to
bear upon the retail merchants of the
city to induce them TO agree TO close their
stores at o'clock during the summer and
at during the winter months. A num-
Der of ladies have taken up the cause of
the retail clerks, and armed with agree
ments they will circulate among the mer-
chanrS this morning to secure their sig
natures. Those who are fostering the
scheme seem to think they can induce
the merchants to respond to their wishes.
The demand is for the merchants to
close during June, July, August and Sep
temher at 6 O'Clock. During the remain
ing months ii is desired that they close
their stores at o'clock in the evening,
save on Saturdays and one week before
Christmas and one week before Easter
. All this takes the form of a preamble,
and the merchants are then supposed to
affix their signatures in agreement to
abide by what is set forth above. On
the paper divisions have been carefully
made and a merchant may sign up un-
der the particular head that is left for
his line of business.
To supplement the strength the agree
nient will have after it has been graced
with the signatures of the leading mer-
chants who favor early closing an in
dorsement of the scheme will be display
e2. This is given by the Savannah
Trades end Labor Assembly. the Catho-
lie Library Association, the Board of
Trade and the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. 1t is expected there will
be other organizations to sign up this
paper.
Fifteen members of the Colonial DANES
in Savannah have also indorsed the
scheEle on another paper. In addition
there arc lists at Solomon's drug store
and Theus to which ladies may affix their
signatures, pledging themselves not to en-
ter a retail store from June l to Sept.
after 5:3C in the afternoon. The clerks
are appreciative of the efforts that are
being made in their behalf and, if the
merchants will all agree to the plan, il
will probably work satisfactorily. Some
of the merchants have said they would
enter into such an agreement if they
could only be assured that the terms
would he rigidly adhered to.

THE BANQUET OF THE SONS.
Annual Meeting and Dinner to Take
Place on Tuesday, June IL.

Place ON Tuesday, June L..
The annual banquet of Francis S. Bar
tow Camp OF Sons Of Confederate Veter-
ans will be held at Knights OF Pythias
Hall on the evening of June Il. 1t is in
this manner that the Sons are accustom-
ed to celebrate the birth of their chapter
here and to encourage one another in the
good work they are engaged in doing.
The banquets are usually quiet affairs
and there is but little of noise and fluster,
figuratively Speaking, attending them.
The invited guests are likely to be few
and are always chosen from The two
camps of Confed crate Vete- ans and from
such distinguished visitors, allied with
The cause, as chance to be in the city.
There are speeches and Confederate songs
and the boys always have a good time.
This year the banquet is likely to be
especially interesting. by reason of the
fact that the camps delegates to the an
nual convention of the general confeder-
alton VIII have but shortly returned from
Louisville and will doubtless take this
opportunity to make a report of what
they have done, seen and heard and in
dulge in "reminiscences of the reunion.

camp and the commander of the Georgia

he banquet will be preceded by the
annual meeting of the camp. at which
the officers for the ensuing year will be
elected. 1t is very probable that those
who now fill the offices will be chosen to
succeed thems elves, and almost certain
that this will he the case unless some of
the present officers decline reelection at
the hands of the r fellow members.
