nothing ol the vast expense, the unccr-

SECRETARY HAYS GUEST.
The President Dimes With the Chief
of the Cabinet

President Roosevelt went out socially last
night for the first time since the operation
was performed on his leg at Indianapolis.
1t also was the first time he had walked
in public His leg apparently has recovered
a large measure of its strength and he no
longer has to crutch. No limp is OBJ
servable. The President. after his confer
ence with President Mitchell, went out for
drive through the suburbs. 1t lasted
about two hours. On his return he donned
evening dress and about o'clock left the
temporary White House on jackson Place
and went over to Secretary Hays, where
he had accepted invitation to dine in
formally with a few friends.
The two houses are about a block and a
half apart, one facing east, on Lafayette
Square. and the other having a south front
on the same park. The President remained
at the Secretary's until nearly 10 o'clock.
Apparently there was difficulty in his
movements, though his pace was not rapid,
as is customary with him. On reaching
his temporary home he went upstairs and
at once plunged into the strike problem
that at present is absorbing almost all his
time and energy.

ECLIPSE OF THE NOON.
It Will Begin at II Q THIS Evening
and End q 1:46.

Astronomers, students of the public
schools and many others who derive pleas
ure in watching the movements of the
planets and the. changes Of the heavens
are interested in the total eclipse of the
moon. which is scheduled for tonight.
Out at the naval observatory more than
ordinary interest is being taken in the ap-
preaching event, and the big telescope and
all the appliances that are, brought into
requisition for keeping minute tab on as
Economical phenomena are in readiness,
Scientists have calculated that in the vi
cinity of the national capital the moon will
enter the earth's shadow at IL O9 O'clock
The total eclipse will begin at 12:11 a. M
The middle of the eclipse will be at 1858
and the tota! eclipse will end at 1:4O. The
moon will leave the earth's shadow at 2:42
am. The first contact Of the shadow will
be on the upper east side OF the moon.
The magnitude of the eclipse will be nearly
one and one-halI times the diameter of the
earth.
The first appearance Of the eclipse will
be the encroachment of dark circular
shadow on the eastern edge of the moon,
which will then be in the south. This will
indicate that the earth is in direct line
between the sun and the moon. The total
disappearance Of the moon is rare.
BY degrees the shadow will advance
across the face of the moon westward and
slightly downward. The moon travels
slowly eastward, as is shown by the fact
that it rises later each night, and the
apparently westward movement is caused
by the rotation of the earth. This is why
the shadow creeps across the moon from
the eastern edge
The duration of the eclipse depends on the
diameter of the shadow to be traversed,
which is a variable factor, controlled by
the distance of the sun from the earth, aid
the distance of the moon. The sun being
much larger than the earth, the shadow Of
the latter grows more and more slender on
the off side Of the earth and tapers 10 a
point
The rapidity of the taper changes with
the suns distance and the particular point
in the cone of darkness where the moon
plunges through it is governed by the
moons own distance from us. at the nour.
The path taken by the moon through this
shadow is also a contributing influence in
the eclipse.

NEEDS OF THE POOR
GEN. sTERNBERG'S APPEAL TO
THE PUBLIC.
Hopes Contributions Will Not Cease
on Account Of Settlement OF
the Coal Strike.

Gen. Geo. NJ. Sternberg, president of the
Citizens Relief Association, has addressed
to the editor of The Evening Star a letter
which is really an appeal to the public for
a continuance of subscriptions in aid of the
poor of the District.
Gen. Sternberg says:
l trust that the philaAthropic citizens OF
Washington will not imagine that the ap-
peal of the Citizens Relief Association will
be met by the discontinuance of the strike
or the contributions already made The
poor are always with us, and their necessi-
ties will be greater than usual this winter.
not only on account Of the high price Of
fuel, but also of the increased cost of meats
and groceries.
1 suppose 1t is generally understood that
the Citizens Relief Association is off,
clal organlZa ton, the members of which are
appointed by the District Commissioners,
and the object of which is to provide re-
liable agency for the collection and distri-
button of funds for the relief of the poor.
we are the authorized representa- of
those who are able and willing to aid the
deserving poor of the city of Washington.
This organization, working in cooperation
with the Associated Charities. relieves the
charitably disposed from responding to per-
sonal appeals and from deciding whether
applicants for charity are really in need Of
assistance 1t is one of the principal OBJ
Jects of organized charity to discourage So
licitation of aims from individuals. For
experience shows, that the ready sympathy
of many of those who have the means and
inclination to relieve distress often induces
them to respond to personal appeals with
out due investigation as to the necessities
Of the applicant and the truthfulness Of
statements made in support of his or her
appeal. Under the old system of depend
ence upon personal application to charitable
individuals the worthy poor often suffered
In silence, while professional beggars piled
their trade with success.
For several years past the Citizens Relief
Association has issued an appeal to the
public in the autumn or in the early winter,
and the appeal recently issued is intended
to call attention not only to the need of
money for the purchase of fuel, but to the
fact that our treasury is nearly empty, and
that a considerable sum will be required
during the coming winter to meet the legti-
mate demands for relief. A generous re-
Spouse at this time will relieve us from the
disagreeable duty of making further public
house to house to solicit contributions
Fuel for the Poor.
A number of contributions were made yes
terday to the Citizens Relief Association to
provide fuel for the poor of the city during
the scarcity of coal. The association is de-
the appeal for funds in order that a suf-
ficient supply of coal and wood may be Sc
cured for distribution among the needy
when the cold weather sets in.
Mr. Beriah Wilkins. treasurer of the as
ISOLATION, has received the following contri-
buttons for the charity fund:
