DAYLIGHT BECAME DUSK
MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 28-The
eclipse began here approximately at $50
and was very near tOtality at 1886, CEN
tral time. The effect was so near totality
that the solar corona was visible to the
naked eye. Several stars were seen. The
daylight slowly faded to nearly dusk-like
darkness, and. for a few seconds, an al
most entire silence prevailed. There was
only slight shadow observed at the
instant of greatest darkness. The weather
bureau thermometers registered a de-
crease of two degrees in temperature dur
Ing the greatest observation.

WINNSBORO, S. c., May 2S-At Rut-
gers college eclipse station here twenty
photographs Of the sun were secured dur
ing the totality, with different cameras
and under varying times of exposure. The
most singular feature of the eclipse was
the visibility of the corona after totaEty
was over, the complete outline of the
moon being distinctly seen for about fifty
seconds with the corona as a back
ground.
PHOTOGRAPHS SECURED.
NEW ORLEANS, May Observations
of the eclipse were made today at the
astronomical observator of Tulane uni
versity by distinguished party of sci
entists. The atmosphere was clear and
practically free from dust, and air cur
rents of nearly uniform density The
large refracting Photographic telescope
, of the Mississippi university was used by
DR.. Ayres, of Tulane, and his assistants
for photographing the corona during the
totality, two other Photographic telescopes
being used for observing the other phases
of the eclipse.

concerned there was only tantalizing dis

night The program was an inter-

speakers of the evening acquitted
themselves with credit. There were
nine VINO received diplomas-seven

The ChivalrY Of Southern Soldiers,

Marie Theresa of Austria, when she
appeared before her Hungarian mobiles
asking their allegiance, was not more
royalty received than the daughter OF
the dead President of the Confederacy
by the veterans of the South. God
bless the Southern soldier. He's a
gentleman from way back, knight
like Bayard, with the heart of q wom-
an aud the courage of lion. In the
fight for the almighty dollar and the
daily bread we lose the purple and
fine linen of our natures. We haven't
time to stop for the sweet courtsies OF
life. If we stop some fellow is going
to head us off and we rush on TO
mingle in the bargain counter push of
existence. But the soldiers who are
with us this week have given us an
object lesson in the beautiful virtues
of true manhood. TO them, as in the
days of old, a woman is like unto
flower. She rises before them as the
angel of the home, something so pure,
so noble, so tender, that the wind
must not blow rudely upon her, she
must not toll, but sit like a queen
guarded by all that love and valor can
render. The old Southerner is sadly
behind the times. lie has not learned
to lose his reverence for woman
to make a jest and mock of her, to
boast OF any weakness she may have,
to pass her by as an inferior. No, II
there is anything beautiful, if there is
anything touching, ifthere is anything
reverential, 1t is this chivalry of the
men of the South. The beautiful
women gorgeously attired who went
through Ireland relying on the honor
other sens might walk the length and
breadth of the Southern army and
fad a million Rsleighs 10 fling down
their packets of gray beneath her feet.
Here in our gates are gray-hsired
veterans bowed and crippled, yet with
the deSihless spring of honor aud
chivalry yelling in their breasts.
There are heroes who faced shot and
shell, yet turning deferentially aside
before some laughing girl of
Keutucky-here are men who will not
eat our bread and then revie us-to
these the women of the South are as
sacred as the banner they bled to
carry to victory, and dear as the cause
for which they weep. To have enter
tanned such men is better than to have
Toasted sovereign. Their coming
has eyiewed all the memories which
our fathers held as consecrated things.
1t has been as an ovation to our wom-
en-, an object lesson to our men, and
even the meanest of her sex since she
has met them may feel as exultant
and as bonored as that beggar maid
whom King Cophetus raised from the
gutter to his throne. God bless the
Southern soldier, the swan knight of
everv Elsa in his land.-Tattler in
LouisVille Times.
