An Object Lesson.

The Alexandria correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says:
"AleXandria is to have notable object
lesson of the working of the trusts in the
shutting down of Hills bakery, which
will take place next Saturday night and
throw a large number of Alexandrians out
of employment. This bakery has been
doing business here for nearly 100 years.
Under the name of Jamieson's Bakery it
was established early in this century, and
it has engaged the business capacity of
three generations of Jamieson's. Its
crackers were known in Europe, and
Father Fenwick related here that at a
luncheon at the Vatican in the Sos he saw
crackers marked "A. Jameson, AleXan-
dria.' The establishment furnished bread
to the armies of the United States in three
wars, and some % years ago passed into
the hands of Messrs. G. r. Hill & Co.,
most enterprsing and successful business
men, who have conducted it since. The
establishment was forced by the surround
ings of its trade in this county into the
Biscuit Trust There has been no dini-
mutton of its business. On the contrary.
its trade this year is about 90 per cent.
greater than last year, but the order of the
trust requires it to be shut down, and that
order will be carried out on next Saturday
night"
The wagon from this well known
bakery has been visiting this town for a
number of years.

The Evansville Farmers Club.

Dr. II S Hill entertained the Evansville
Farmers Club and several other guests at
his home, "Stratford," last Saturday. The
farm was inspected and most favorable
comment made on its condition.
In his remarks before the club, the host,
after reading an article from the Country
Gentleman" on Farming and Politics in
which the necessity for united action on
the part of farmers fer their own protec
ton was shown, pointed out the fact of
the recent success of the clubs and grang yes
in this county in compelling recognition
by the County Commissioners of the Road
Law, and u"ged further efforts i'll the
cluse of good government by those inter-
estcd in agriculture. He stated that he
did not believe any County Commissioner
was personally benefited by using any of
the public funds, but, as they handled all
of the money and were not bonded Off
Gals, he thought they should at least be
very explicit in making reports.
The discussion was also entered into by
Messrs. J. d. Cassard, John Miller, F.
Snowden Hill and DR.. Joseph R. Owens.
A committee was appointed and request
ed to formulate plan for organizing a
county league composed of citizens of
both parties representing all the districts
in the county.

THE TENNIS TOURNEY.
Perct and Davidson Win the Cham
piOnship Doubles.

Perct and Davidson Win the Cham
piOnship Doubles.
The championship in the doubles at the
United States National Lawn Tennis AS
sociation tournament yesterday afternoon
was won by Peret and Davidson, after
magnificent game. in which it was a toss
up whether they or Little and Alexander
would get the trophy. There was hardly
a time during the series when it was
worth laying a penny odds either way.
That Davidson and Peret won was not
due~to any lack Of brilliant opposition.
The victors won the game on their own
merits. They got the second. the third.
and the fifth sets by scores OF 1910. 81.
and GA. The young Princetonians against
whom they were battling made the first
and the fourth sets. 62 and 81.
The victory Of Peret and Davidson was
not unexpected. Davidson has twice won
the championship OF the South, and now
holds it. Peset, besides other important
victories. has vanquished Little in the
singles at this tourney. and has beaten
everyone in sight sirgle-handed save Da-
wilson. whom he has not met. Peret has
challenged the cuD-holder. and the con-
test will occur today 1t promises to be
one Of the finest battles that have ever
taken place on southern tennis court.
Davidson has won the cup twice. and by
keeping 1t this time it will become his
permanentproperty. Peret. on the other
hand, has distinguished himself wher-
ever he has appeared, and has strong
hopes Of getting the trophy.
The prizes to be awarded the winners
in the present tourney are very handsome.
A solid silver bowl will go to Peret as
local champion in the singles. Little. who
took second place. will get beautiful
tankard of ebony with great stag handle
and silver trimmings. A cut-glass de-
canter and a fine travelling clock will go
to the first and the second winner in the
handicaps. For a consolation prize the
committee has chosen a silver-trimmed
pocket flask. Two silver bowls go to
Peret and Davidson as winners in the
doubles, while two tankards will be
awarded to Little and Alexander, whom
thny have defeated

AT THE NAVAL OBSERVATORY
Little Difference Between Computed
Time and ACtuul COntuct

Little Difference Between Computed
Time and Actual Contact.
| Al the Naval Observatory yesterday
| morning the observations of the eclipse
were devoted to the verification of the
calculations upon which the time prog
nostications had been based. The time of
the first and final contact and of the great
est observation were the points to be de-
termined by the Washington observers.
Il. A. Boeger was stationed at the great
26-inch equatorial telescope. William NJ.
Brown at the 12-inch equatorial and NJ.
E. Porter at the comet seeker. the latter
a telescope OF wide field but inferior de-
finitive power.
Preceding the first contact the clouds
gathered until the telescopes, with their
dark-red shade glass attachments. re-
vealed only confused mass OF moving
vapor. instead of the sharply defined edge
of the sun. Mr.. Brown, at the smaller
equatorial. counted the seconds on his
chronometer and peered through at the
dark mass of vapor. but at last he aban-
doned the task. The chronograph, or re-
cording clock, with which Mr.. Porter. at
the comet seeker. was connected by an
electric wire and key refused to work at
the proper moment and he obtained no
record whatever
But Mr.. logger, OF tne great equatorial,
more fortunate than his conferes. pulled
the shade glass off his instrument Just
at moment When he rapidly moving
clouds parted for a moment to allow the
western arc of the sun to be clearly and
distinctly seen. with just the minutest
indentaton upon its edge. The contact
had passed, but the record of the chrono-
graph showed only difference of thirty
seconds in the computed moment for con-
tact ard the time of observation.
An experiment was made at the period
of greatest observation to determine
whether shadow bands would be revealed
upon white cloth spread upon the roof
gallery of the Observatory building for
tnat purpose. The result was purely
negative.
The observations made of the last con-
tact, at 1914 o'clock. were remarkably
successful, agreeing within a few seconds
with the computed time.
Capt c. II. Davis. Superintendent of
the Observatory. expressed himself as
gratifed with the work done at the
Observatory. He expressed his intention
OF endeavorins to secure man of war
from the Government for the purpose of
sending a party from the Observatory to
witness the eclipse which will be total
in the islands Of the Pacific upon the 2lst |
of May, 1901.

NEW YORK. May 2S-The promise of
the dawn that there would be a clear sky
for the eclipse was partly broken. but it
was all the better. for the view of the moon
crossing the suns rays was perfect.
Hosts of flying clouds gathered in the
east at o'clock and driven by strong
notheast wind, hid the solar spectacle from
the sky gazers In this vicinity at times. At
other times they so softened the strong
light that the view was perfect with the
naked eye.
The roofs Of down town office buildings
and sky scrapers were filled with. people
By 7:30 o'clock. They did not seem to mind
the cold breeze blowing, but with every
known optical contrivance gazed toward
the east There were men with portable
telescopes looking like fourteen-inch naval
guns. others with single and doubled ma
rine glasses, spy glasses and even opera
glasses. The hosts with smoked glass far
outnumbered all the rest

the time the first phase was due, when
camped right between the sun and the ga2-
ers. There was no gazing through them.
For fifteen minutes the watchers stamped
their feet impatfently. Then the clouds
rolled away and there was a general feel
ing of satisfaction. The eclipse lasted here
from T:49 to 1924.

THE SPECTACLE AT NORFOLK.
Presidential Party Views Eclipse
From the Dolphin.

From the Dolphin.
NORFOLK. Va, May 2S.-To the hun
dreds who stood on the housetops, the
thousands who stood in the streets, on the
decks of steamers at anchor. and on the
seashore about Norfolk today. spectacle
was visible in the sky worth crossing the
world to see. Many came hundreds OF
miles to see the solar eclipse. and said they
would have felt repaid had they gone ten
times as far.
At 7:40:59 o'clock the eclinse as ca!cu-
lated by Prof. Herbert l.. Rice, of the
Naval Observatory. began. There was Ii
variation of but one second. DR.. William
Henry Hale, the Brooklyn scientist, thinks
he saw today the reversing layer discov-
cred by Prof. Charles A. Young, of Prince
ton. This reversing layer, for the brief
instant 1t appears, causes tie bright lines
which appear in the spectroscope to turn
dark.
Willis L. Moore. Chief of the Weather
Bureau at Washington, who with the
scientists here today. said: I'VE have
never had better seeing light than We
had today"
Prof Alfred j. Henry. who took special
observations at Cape Henry has not yet
reported upon the results. Two hundred
and fifty scientists Of the National Geo
graphic Society. who observed the eclipse
from aboard the steamer Newport News,
returned to Washington. and many sciea-
lists left tonight. None of these is be-
lieved. however. to have obtained much of
scientific value today.
That President Mckinley. with his party
aboard the Dolphin. did not come ashore,
was great disappointment to Norfolk. 1t
was hoped the President would make
at least brief visit to the city. That he
did not do SO is explained by the fact that
Mrs. McKinley's health is quite bad. and
sympathy for her and the President is so
great as to cause Norfolk to forget its
disappointment.

NEW ORLEANS. May 2S.-The total
eclipse Of the sun here today was without
a flaw, the weather being perfect and
everything favorable for making observa-
tions. The cotton exchange and other
boards suspended operations during the
eclipse and the children in the public
schools were given holiday until 10 a. m.
in order that they might study the
eclipse. Lectures had been given In most
of the public schools and in Tulane Uni
versity on the subject. SO that 1t was
we'll understood by all. and even the
negroes were not alarmed.
The eclipse began at 6:29 a M. the sky
being perfectly cloudless. 1t grew darker
and darker until II became twilight and
the light was finally as soft as moonlight.
At 1880 a. M, when the sun completely
disappeared. the whole aspect changed
and became most unnatural. The air
seemed filled with a ghostly blue light,
and became instantaneously very cold, as
though fire had gone out, and light
rain or almost mist fell. although the sky
was clear.
Two stars sprang suddenly into
life. shining brightly as the sun
went out. During the minute
and a half while the totality lasted.
queer shadows played here and there.
but when the tip OF the sun again reap
peared it seemed to blaze with unusual
force.
the observations made by the Tulane
University and the University Of Mis-
sissippi were a complete success. and
number of excellent photographs were
taken.
The only place where the eclipse Great
ed any panic was in the Parish prison,
where the negro inmates. particularly the
women. were nearly frightened to death
by the disappearance Of the sun. They
held a protracted prayer meeting and
shrieked and shouted during the eclipse.

THE RUTGERS EXPEDITION.
Prof. Prcntiss Gives nm Interestin
Account Of the Eclipse.


NEW BRUNSWICK, n. J., May 2S.-
Prof. R. W. Prentiss, OF the Rutgers Col
lege expedition at Winnsboro. S. c.. tele-
graphs the following account of the
eclipse:
"Our expedition was successful in carry
ing out its programme. Twenty photo
graphs of the eclipse during iotality were
secured by different cameras under varying
times of exposure. The shadow bands were
distinctly seen as real and exceedingly
delicate phenomena by several members Of
the party Their direction as measured by
rods and compass was south, IS L. degrees
east, their movement being at a right angle
to their direction toward the northeast be-
fore the beginning and in the opposite di-
reetion after totality. The bands were
about an inch apart
The most singular feature of the eclipse
was the visibility of the corona for about
Ave seconds after totality was over. The
outline of the moon was distinctly seen
projected on the corona as background
on one side of the sun while the bright
edge peeped forth on the other. Sketches
of the corona were drawn by a party of
young ladies from Winthrop College Who
had been drilled for ten days. One com
piete sketch was made by one artist. while
the other four sketched the Quadrants.
They agree in showing that the coronal
streamers were distinctly seen from three
to four diameters OF the moon.

these photographs I cannot say whether l
have been successful. However, my visual
observations seem to indicate that the
mysterious matter which forms the CO.
roma is to be found also in the solar
prominences. But during totality the chief
line was seen to be broken and irregular.
''Of course when they are developed, the
photographs will give much stronger tes-
timony on this point than the visual OBJ
