THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF TIE SUN.
A Superb Spectacle to be Witnessed by the feo-
pie of the South on May %.

On May 2Sth the people of the South
ern States will have the rare opportunity
to see the most superb spectacle Wlthih
the whole range of natural phenomena:
a total eclipse of the sun. The ordinary
observer will see it best without lnstru-
ments of any kind, and the grandeur ana
beauty of the sight will linger in his mem-
DRY for years. To the professional astron-
omer seeking the solution of important
and difficult problems connected with the
mysterious structure and composition Oh
the sun. the event will be one of intense
interest and will demand the utmost
skill in the use of the most delicate ana
powerful instruments known to modern
astronomical science. The most impor-
tant observatories throughout the world
will be prepared to study the eclipse from
points of vantage in the United States
or Africa.
The moon, an opaque body shining only
by reflected light, is always accompanied
by conical shadow over 100000 miles
long; when our satellite passes exactly
between the sun and the earth, the shad-
ow sweeps over the earth'S surface in a
curved path That the time of occurrence
of an eclipse and the location of the
course Of the shadow can be SO accurately
predicted is one of the wonders of mathe-
mates. To an observer within the shadow
the sun is completely hidden and the
eclipse is total. The path of totality on
May 2Sth, 1900, begins in the Pacific ocean
west of Mexico, passes across Mexico.
and enters the United States at New Or
leans at 100 a. m. 1t then proceeds in
a northeasterly direction over Mobile,
Montgomery and Raleigh, and leaves the
United States near Norfolk, Va, at s.: SO
a. m. After a long journey over the At
lantic. it touches Portugal, crosses north
ern Africa, and finally leaves the earth at
the north end of the Red sea. The dura-
ton of the total phase varies from about
one minute and twelve seconds at New
Orleans to one minute and forty two
seconds at Norfolk, and all the astronomi-
cal work must be accomplished during
that brief period.
The sun is an immense globe of fire :;
not as we see it through dense haze at
sunset with sharply defined outline, but
in reality possessing streamers or APP
pendages extending millions of miles be-
yond is surface. These streamers are
only visible during total eclipse of the
sun, and constitute the corona The
approach of the moment of totality is ex-
tremely impressive. The color of day
light changes, darkness increases grad
ually the jet-black outline of the moon
encroaches on the dazzling disk of the
sun until only a rapidly diminishing
crescent of light remains. AS long as even
a hairs breadth of this crescent exists,
the corona is invisible. but presently a
black shadow is seen TO approach swiftly
over the surface Of the earth, the sun
light completely disappears. and, as if
at the command of some weird spirit. in
an instant the corons bursts into view,
magnificent in extent understandable in
beauty and impressive beyond COM
pare.

IMPORTANT BANKRUPTCY DECISION,
Estate of a Firm and It's Individual Members
to Be Separate

Judge Purnell of the United States Dis
trict court yesterday filed an opinion in
a bankruptcy proceeding of unusual i'm
portance to officers of the courts and
prospective bankrupts. The decision is to
the effect that in voluntary proceeding
in bankruptcy by partnership the firm
is a distinct legal entity SO recognized
a recent opinion by the G. C.. A.. of the
Second circuit, the estates OF the firm and
the individual members must be admins
tered separately, hence the clerk of the
court is entitled to and should col
lect filing fee for each estate-ten doll
lars for the firm and ten dollars for each
individual member of the partnership.
That the petition and schedules of the
partnership constitute one case, and the
petition and schedules of each partner
constitute a case under the Bankrupt
Act, hence the Referee and Trustee are
likewise entitled to a fee of ten and five
dollars respectively for each case.
The opinion says the question involved
is one of first impression, except two Dis
trict court opinions in which the judge
does not concur, no decision on the point
was cited or found. That while the gener-
al idea of the Act was economy in it's
administration. above this the Act is lust
just to the bankrupt, just to creditors and
was intended to be just to the officers
of the court. Any other construction
would not be in keeping with the spirit
Of the law but fiagrantly unjust to the
officers. 1t is a condition precedent to the
filing of a petition in bankruptcy that
the fee required by law be deposited with
the proper officer. and the bankrupt has
no standing in the bankruptcy court until
such fec is paid.

FOOTBALL
No Return Game Will be Played
with Little Falls This
Season.

1t was hoped that a return game with
Little Falls migh6 be played on the
home grounds before our high school
team dIsbanded for the season, but
from present indications it does not
seem likely that such a game can b.
arranged. When our team played at
Little Falls q month ago, the cap
tains and managers of the respective
teams arranged for return game to
be played on the local gridirou before
the close of the season. The Sank
Centre management was willing to
play the return game one week after
the first game had been played at Lit
tie Falls, but held the door open until
later in the season to accommodate
Little Falls, who stated that they
would prefer to play about November
"a.
The captain of the Morrison county
aggregation now writes that his team
cannot play the return game his sea-
son. This is Disappointing to the To-
cal team and to the citizens generally
who were led to believe that the game
would be played as arranged. Il viii
be remembered that Little Falls had
agreed to play strictly high school

THE CONCERT.
The Ladies Musical Club Win
Fresh Laurels on Friday
Evening.

The Ladies Musical Club is certain
" entitled to the thanks of all music
lovers of this city and vicinity, for
the delightful concert given under
its auspices on Tuesday evening.
There was an hour and half of
music, every moment of which was
| a delight. Our home talent never
appeared to better advantage. The
piano recitals the duets by Mrs.
Dewey and Miss White, and Mes
DANES Dewey and Miner, as also the
solo by Miss Whipple, were admir-
ably rendered and heartily enjoyed.
| The Bridal Chorus by the club
was bright and sprightly and
showed thorough training. 1t was
excellent. Mrs. Stanton's recita-
tion, ssHagar" was received with
such favor by the audience that she
was compelled to reappear in recog
milton of the hearty applause.

here, sang a tenor solo, Celestial

compelled to favor his audience with

| The central attraction, the star of
the evening", was Maud Ulmer
Jones of Minneapolis, an accom-
! plished soprano, with an assured
reputation won in opera and con-
cert in the musical centers of the
country. Everyone went with high
expectations, and no one was dis
appointed. Her selections, both
classic and popular, were equally
well rendered to the delight of her
audience, and she was compliment
ed with eneores to which she re-
sponded The Aria from s'Hero-

sympathetic, of great compass and
as clear as that of a songbird. She
won the admiration and goodwill
of her audience. all of whom will
be only too glad to meet her under
like circumstances, not only again
but frequently.

the game at Little Falls, which was
forfeited owing to an unjust decision
by Referee Hutchinson. At least four
of the Little Falls's players were not
high school students, as Investigation

in mind, the letter written by Manager

Mr.. Durkee, Capt. of Football Team:
Dear Sir Yours Of the 18th ut hand,
stating that it will be impossible to
play us on our grounds. We cannot
possibly agree TO this. and il you still
refuse to keep the engagement we
shall claim forfeit game, as you
agreed ON the day we played in Little
Falls to give Us a return game. This
will, in u measure, make up for the
game which we won and you stole
from MS over there. From your re-
fusaI we draw the conclusion that you
are afraid TO play US, or that Farrell
is unable To get away from the saw
mill, or McNairy is too busy at the
freight depot, or perhaps business is
so rushing at the courthouse that
Lord cant get of, or possibly Nichols
has left town Whatever the case ma
be, you certainly have acted very
sportsmanlike (?) by crawfshing ia

progress has been made with that
bill during the past week it is not
perceptible. Supporters of the
bill claim that it is favored by
the president and every member
of the cabinet aud that amaiority
is assured, but it is significant
that they have made no move to

of the bill are saying that the

the bill passed next week. They
may be right, but it is recalled
that they were saying precisely
the same thing week ago,
