THE ECLIPSE MAY17.
Will be Visible in Sumdtra and an
Imported Event.

One of the most important astronomi-
cal events of the century will be the
total eclipse of May II, and the scien-
fists believe that many discoveries will
be made on that day that will add much
to our knowledge of the sun. The
great countries of the world have faith
enough in what the scientists say to
provide for official observations of the
eclipse, and number of them have
sent expeditions to the island of Sum-
atra at great expense. The American
expedition, one of the best equipped
ever sent out by the government, sailed
from San Francisco some weeks ago,
and the members are now preparing to
gain all of the information possible out
of the phenomena. The expeditions
have all gone to Sumatra because the
eclipse is not to be Visible to the world
in general, and will only be seen on the
islands of Sumatra and Borneo, and on
few small islands in the East Indies.
The most remarkable feature of this
shading of the sun will be the unusual
long duration of totality which will be
six minutes and a half, a comparatively
great length of time which will give the
picture takers with their cameras and
astronomers with their powerful teles.
copes an almost unparalleled opportun.
ity to accomplish great results. There
is to be another eclipse this year, but i,
will be of the "annular' kind where the
moon obscures only the central part Of
the SUMS face and leaves ring of light
at the circumference. This second
eclipse will not be visible in America,
but, it will be seen throughout the
greater part Of Europe, Asia, and
northern Africa. In many respects the
eclipse Of May IL will be the most i'm
portant observation of the sun that will
take place during the century, and if
the scientists accomplish all they ex-
pect the world will be much wiser as
well as older by this time next month

WONDERFUL TOUR
OF NELL COMPANY

The most stupendous theatrical under
taking that has yet been contemplated
is the forthcoming journey of the fam
Gus Neill Company, whose Barbara
Frietchie' has proved to be the greatest
dramatic success San Francisco has had
this season, across the Pacific 70 the ORR
ent. AT the conclusion of the "trip the
company will have ira Eeiled over 80 200
miles, including its present tour through
America. Honolulu will first be visited,
and then a jump will be made direct to
Manila, where the Neill Company will be
the first high class organization to pro-
duce plays in the history of the islands.
Seats for the Manila performance are
already being sold at prices that seem
almost fabulous in this country The
cheapest seats are selling at So, with S25
for orchestra seats and $3.50 for boxes.
From Manila the company expects to go
TO Hongkong, Yokohama and Toxic The
latter place is visited with the special
permission of the Mikado, as foreign
companies have not been allowed here
tofore in the Japanese capital. New
Zealand is next on the list, and then
comes an indefinite season in Australia.
Before leaving the Nein Company has
been prevailed upon to give farewell
tour in Barbara Frietchie"

holders were held responsible for double
their stock. 1t is from the decision of
the Pennsylvania court that an appeal
TO the United States supreme court will
tie taken. The content made by the at
torneys for the stockholders is inter-
cstirg. They claim that a receiver is
necessarily appointed to take charge of
only the assets of defunct concerns.
They further assert that double liabili-
ty for stock can not constitute assets
and that therefore the receiver has no
right to collect more stock from the
owners of such concerns. The Pennsyl-
vania court held that the double pay
r1ent of stock does not constitute any
part of the assets and therefore neld
that the receiver has no right to collect
them. This Is the point that the SUI
creme judges of the United States will
be asked to decide.
The Importance of the decision to the
receivership of the Stock Yards Bank
lies in the fact that great part of the
stock is owned by Pennsylvania parties.
