THE ECLIPSE.

HE ECLlPSE.
During the great eclipse Of last
Monday morning the weather was
clear and the people Of the vicinity
had a splendid opportunity Of study
ing the phenomenon in all Of its
phases, through smoked glass. The
eclipse was very beautiful and fully
filled al expectations. 1t was first
seen at $40 a. m. AT that time it
looked lie a small mdenUaoion in the
nor astcorTBT 4of the Sun. There
are some VINO claim tha5 the eclipse
was not seen until 6:26; but the
writer and a number Of others saw it
plainly at 6:l0, courthouse clock
time. The totality was reached at
7:23 and the last seen Of it was at
1886. The period Of tosaiity lasted
only 70 seconds.
The eclipse during totally was too
beautiful to be described, The corona
was so lovely that very few persons
here, could break away from the
magnificent spectacle IA or3er TO study
any ether phase Of The eclipse scienti-
fcalE, and for this reason we are
afradithat science gained nothing
from the observations made in Terre-
bonne. During Che eclipse, under Che
densely shaded trees, could be seen
numerous miniature crescent moons,
that attracted the attention Of the
children more than the corona did At
no time did pitchy darkness reign
Il was dark enough however for che
stars to be visible.
There were some persons who have
resided here all Of their lives who
claimed to have witnessed a total
eclipse Of the sun before; but it seems
that those persons were slightly mis-
taken as such occurrences are rare
very rare, indeed. The eclipse, last
Monday, was the first total eclipse
that has been seen for over two hun
bred years, and there viii not be an
other before another two hundred
years have rolled by, 1t is not worth
while, therefore, to keep our smoked
glasses for the next event. There
have been a number Of partial eclipses
during this century and it is more
than probable that those who wit
messed a partial eclipse formed the
impression that they had seen a total
eclipse. While this impression was
erroneous it was a very natural one
to make.
When the next total solar eclipse
visits this section, all Of US who Wit
messed the inspiring phenomenon last
Monday, VIII have pas sed beyond the
mysterious shadow Of the eclipse Of
death. Not one Of US viii be living
to See The next total eclipse; but this
fact ought not to cause much worry,
in as much as we nave scored one on
the preceding generation and the sue
ceediag generation IN having been
given he opportunity Of actually Wit
Messing areal, bone fde total eclipse.

Making the Samoa Statement of the
Position and Vote of Representative Geo.
T. Mason on all the More Importan,
Measures Before the Legislature-Veri-
ned by Three of the Most Prominent
and Influential Farmers in Shiawassee
County.
1t is doubtful if any other member of
the last state legislature has taken the
pains to inform his constituents as &C.
curately and infinitely concerning every
vote OF any Importance whatever in the
sessions of the legislature as has Repre-
sentative George T. Mason, of Shiawas.

lished practically as follows, that there
might be ample time to detect errors if
any existed. Its accuracy has however
never been questioned. altho at the
special request CT Mr.. Mason three of
best known farmers in this county, men
who take an active and intelligent inter-
est in the affairs of the state, promised
to and did compare the published state

laws and powers of government en-
trusted to his care under the constitu-
ton. That the strict confinement Oh
each of these coordinate branches to
the powers conferred upon it by the
constitution Is essential to the perpetu-
alton of free government. He believes
that the burthens cast upon us as
heritage of the late war shall not
be shirked or cast aside, but that each
duty shall be performed, and each diff
Guilty overcome with the true spirit OF
American freedom, and that the em-
blem of liberty shall rest secure on
every height to which the soldiers OF
America have carried it.
At the national convention held last
week in the city of Philadelphia, the
birthplace of liberty, a declaration of
principles was announced and a ticket
nominated that has filled the hearts OF
every republican in the nation with en-
thusiasm and with unbounded conf.
dence in the perpetuation for at least
four years more of the present prosper
ity enjoyed by the American people.
The enthusiastic nomina ton, without
one dissenting vote, of the hero OF
Fishers Hill and Cedar Greek for presi-
dent, with the rough rider of San Juan
Hill as vice.president, was tribute to
the American volunteer soldier that the
voters throughout this broad land will
delight to endorse at the polls in No
vember next.
What would be more fitting than
that this republican convention here in
Michigan, the birthplace of the republi-
can party, the preserver of our liberties,
should place in nomination as its state
standard bearer this other citizen sol
der who sacrificed so much for the
preservation of the government that has
made us great. and the flag that has
made us free; and MIR. Chairman and
gentlemen, 1 name as your candidate
for governor of the state of Michigan,
this true and tried republican, this gal
liant soldier-Col. Aaron T. Bliss, of
Saginaw.

John j. Whelap, of .Shiawassee, is out
for the legislative nomination on the repub-
lican ticket. We think the party Is too well
satisfied with Representative Mason to NOM
mate a new man this year.-Shiawasse e
Reporter.
The republicans of Shiawasses county do
no not depend al any organ OF democracy,
or Organism, to make their platforms OF 10
nominate their candidates, but 1t must be
confessed that the above item from the re =
porter gives evidence that. the editor has
had his tar to the ground. Still as mat
ter OF fact he cuuld have heard all that he
said without even the trouble of getting his
ear to the ground, 30 unmistakeable have
beeu the reports from every part OF the
county. IL he had substituted the word
county" for 'sparty" ana Select" Tor nom-
nate" he would also have been giving ex-
preston 10 a truth which Is quite as patent
even as the one above presented.

Republican County Committee

The republican county committee met
at the Office of Chairman F. H. Watson
this morning for the purpose of COM
pleting the organization and fixing the
date of the county nominating conven-
ton. There was large attendance,
both of members and leading repub-
licans from the several townships.
After discussing the best time for
holding the convention, the committee
by unanimous vote decided to call it
for Tuesday, August 7th, at Corunna.
Mr.. w. H. Bigelow, of this city, was
unanimously reelected treasurer of
the committee, and Fred Edwards, of
this city, was chosen as secretary,
receiving IA of the 10 votes cast. The
committee will at once commence the
work of organization and will be in
better shape than ever for the fall
campaign.

ment of votes as given below, with the
official records ofthe House Journal, and
their names now appear at the close of
this article, certifying to its correctness.
II should be remembered that this state.
ment is not one which has been got up
inst before the calling of the county
convention when there would have been
little time to verify it. but that it was
published in full months ago and has
since been carefully verified by men
who, like Mr.. Mason himself, have the
fullest confidence of their fellow citizen.
and men who are in no way interested
in Mr.. Mason's candidacy other than in
the desire of every honest citizen to see
that fair play is accorded every man.
But the following synopsis of the
chief actions of the legislature and Mr..
Mason's vote i'm connection with each
will explain itself. 1t is not likely to
need any further defense than its bare
statement. In each separate matter
referred to the date is given first, then
the question to be disposed of. Mr..
Mason's vote on the same, the vote of
the House, and the page of the House
Journal on which the matter is recored
follow with occasionally further ex-
planatory remarks:

Attorney Chas. NJ. Hamper, who has been
one OF the malnstays OF the local democracy
and two years ago was chairman of their
county committee, has decided that the
principles advocated by the democratic
party, in the face of the changed conditions
of today, are too much for him to support,
aud he announces that he intends to support
Mckinley for reelection and that he will
hereafter be found in the columns OF the
republican party where he feels the only
real opportunity for political usefulness to-
day is to be found. THE TIMFs is pleased
to welcome Mr.. Hamper to the ranks and
hopes that he may bring others of his former
associates to take the same step which he
has boldly taken and in so doing, to act In
harmony with their truest convictions.

After the war closed, he engaged in
business in Saginaw, and success has
crowned his efforts and his success in
business is due to that same sense of
duty, courage and perseverance that
made and distinguished him as soldier.
He has been called to serve his constitu-
ents in the state senate, and IN the halls
of congress, and in each instance has
faithfully represented the interests in.
trusted to his care, and discharged the
duties Of his position. He is life long
republican of the staunchest kind, and
believes in the true principles of repre-
sentative republican government, as
founded by the fathers and that the di-
vision of powers by them into three
seperate, distinct, co. ordinate branches
of heads--the legislative, the judicial
and the executive, was for wise pur-
pose, and to prevent usurpation of
power that world be destructive to the
liberties of the people.
He believes that the law making
power is vested under the constitution
in the legislative branch of the govern
ment, and that although suggestions
and wise counsel may be given them
any attempt at coercion or intimidation
in the matters entrusted to their care, is
revolutionary and direct attack on

USES OF SKIM MILK.
Latest By-PrOduct IL Claimed to BE
Good Substitute for Rubber
and CellulOid.

Henry Alvord, chief of the dairy d.
vision of the agricultural department,
in making up the divisions exhibit at
the Paris exposition has come across
a new by-product of the dairy indus
try. 1t is we'll known, of course, hat
in many lines of industry the by-prod-
ucts of an article form more extensive
Industries than the original item fur
nishes.
Skim milk is the basis of this by
product, which is an addition to quite
list of articles which skim milk al
ready fathers. For instance, they
make paint out of skim milk, q fine
quality of paint at that, with good
luster and polish. Then, too, they
make glue out of skim milk. Tons OF
sizing for fine qualities of paper are
produced daily from skim milk.
Now comes an inventor with a plan
to make q substitute for hard rubber
and cclluloid out of skim milk. The
patents have been allowed and the Or
ganization of the company is under
way. The inventor furnished Mr.. Al
word with a sample, which resembles
wood in texture. The new material
will be used for brush backs, combs.
electric light insulators, and, in fast,
almost anything now constructed of
hard rubber or celluloid. The evolu-
ton of Il pan of skim milk on the kitch-
en- shelf into golf ball is but ques-
ton of time and secret process. The
body of the new material is the caseinc
of skim milk.
The agricultural department is in
terested because of the bearing of the
new business on the dairy industry.
Any plan for the disposition of the
surplus stock of skim milk in the dali
ries and on the farms is welcomed.-

How to Plant WRtercrcss.

Sow some watercrcss around the
spring run. It's pungent taste makes
it relish and an excellent appetizer
in the early spring before anything
else green has thought of growing.
Sow seed in the bed of run where
water is not over one or two inches
deep and does not run too swiftly.
Dead grass and roots should first be
cleaned out. If the bottom is sandy
or gravelly, it will do better than
mud. The plant is good perennial,
and if the location is good and it is
cut over carefully the bed will last
indefinitely. Spring runs near their
sources rapidly freeze over. and in
open winters the plants will remain
green and grow all winter. Paintings
may be easily made with roots take,r
from another bed.-Grant Davis, in
