Gen. Sweeney. Lecturer and Preacher

Every foot of floor space in the
city hall was insufficient to accom-
modate the audience that gathered
Saturday evening to hear General
Sweeney's lecture on the Golden
Age. General satisfaction is ex-
pressed. In matter and manner ii
was a grand production; interesting
instructive and elevating. The lad les
of the reading club are to be congratu-
lated on this second number of theil
seasons program. 1t will stimulate
anticipation of other good things to
follow. General Sweeney has some
personal acquaintance in the city
to whom he had promised several
years ago that If ever he came to
Mineral Point and circumstances
were such as to admit of it, he would
promise he redeemed by giving a
sermon at the =. NJ. church on Sun
day morning, much to the gratifica-
ton Of the large congregation. I'M
der strict injunction from the Gener-
al, the fact that he would preach on
Sunday was kept within the knowl-
edge of IA very few people until late
Saturday evening, otherwise his
Sunday congregation would have
been still larger.

ECLIPSE AT Newport NEWS.
UNDER PERFECT CoND1
TIONS- GHASTLY CORPSE CAST
UP Ely THE WAVES.

Newport News. May 2S.-Thc total
eclipse of the sun was viewed here and
at Old Point Comfort under meteorolog-
ic conditions which the astronomers
pronounced perfect. Thousands of peo-
pie from various parts Of the country
locked 20 the Virginia peninsula. Scien-
lists, members of the faculties of half
a score of institutions OF learning. fell
lows of the National Geographic Society
and representatives of the Smithsonian
Institution touched albowi with states
men. tourists and sight seers on the
piers and other points of vantage look
ing out upon the waters of Hampton
Roads and Chesapeake BAY.
Totally began at SOB. \ few mo-
ments before the sun passed into aDso-
lutte obscurity. while the shadows were
gathering thick upon the white sands
a corpse was thrown upon the beach in
frort Of one of the big hotels by an in
coming billow. The CHASTITY object
splashed directly under the eyes of q
group of observers.

to fall over the whole universe; an aw-
full stiffness pervaded the air every
where, and all things. even ones SELF,
felt unnatural and strangely hypnotized
by the Prince of the Spirit of the Air,
who had risen up in IL new light. For n
moment it was as If the light of the
sun had gone out. and the world was
cut off from it's source of life and en-
ergy. No wonder that mankind was
appalled, by the spectacle of the sun be-
Ing hidden from a portion of the world,
when 1t is considered what awful con-
sequences would follow the cutting off
of the earth in It's entirety for posi-
bly, the bricfest space of time from the
great life-giver and ruler of the solar
system. For there is never a moment
when the sun is not shining upon this
planet and giving it it's energy.
SOUNDS PLAINLY HEARD.
One strange fact noted amtng others
was the diStinctncss with which sounds
could be heard during the eclipse. The
sound waves were apparently in a
high tension and conveyed the slightest
noises some distance. Especially did
this seem so Just u few seconds before
the last ves't!ge of the familiar face of
old Sol was hidden from view. The i'm
aglnation probably had something TO do
with this apparent scnsitivcness of the
sound waves, rs well as the chilliness in
the atmosphere. The aweing, death -like
stiffness which swept over the whole
universe. apparently with the disap-
pearance of the sun. intensified all
sounds, too. and lent them a wicrdness
that is irdescribabe.
