No smoked glasses nor other artificial means were necessary to get the full ben eft of the impressive and beautiful spec tacIe. All it's beauty was visible to the naked eye.
 Montgc merians were unusually interest ed in last nights eclipse. The phenom- enon had been well advertised and many who were unaccustomed to late hours, heard the hour of midnight struck before they ceased to watch the rare sight of the moon dimly showing behind a dark shadow. In all sections of the city ve- randahs were well filled with moon-gaz- CTS and down town men stood about in the streets watching and discussing the eclipse.
 Those who watched the eclipse through were impressed with the absolute accu- racy of the time predictions made by the astronomers. The different phases of the phenomenon came off exactly on sched- ule time. The details of the eclipse were as follows:
 Eclipse began ........................ S:lfpm Total began .......ll:l :l9pm Total ended ......................... ..l2:4Sam Eclipse ended ........................ l:5Oam
 The shadow crept upon the moon from the east little to the south. The ob- scured part of the moon appeared notch ed and jet black. It looked like piece of pie that children or rats had been nib bling. Just before the moon was totally obscured it looked like a new moon.
 When the total eclipse was over and the moon began to leave the shadow narrow crescent of light appeared upon it's eastern edge which continued to grow larger until the disk of the full moon appeared.
 At all times during the eclipse the out lines of the moon were visible through the shadow.
 An eclipse is one of the strongest proofs that the earth is of a spherical shape. The shadow is circularly shaped. Noth- ing but a spherical body ever casts circular shadow.

A Beautiful Home Wedding in Flu
 faula.


 Eufaula, Oct 16.-(speciaD-Last night at g o'clock at the stately old home of the brides father, Capt s. H. Dent. on College Hill. Miss Caroline Dent and Charles s. McDowell. Jr.. of this city were married.
 The large double parlors were thrown into one and were exquisitely decorated. Banks of lovely roses of every hue blend ed in beauty and waited a fragrance that was enchanting, while graceful climbing bamboo and potted plants of richest verdure shown from cozy corners as fresh and rare as in the roseate spring-time.
 At the appointed hour the couples en- tered, the bride accompanied by her fa- ther. by whom she was given away, and the bridegroom with his brother, Dr. w. P. Mcdowell of Clayton. who acted as best man, and Miss Matha Long, niece of the bride, who was maid of honor.
 While all stood beneath the arch of the large folding doors Rev. J. A. Peterson assisted by Rev E. L. Hill. stepped for ward and pronounced the ceremony, which was beautiful and impressive.
 Owing to a recent bereavement in the family of the bride, only relatives and a few intimate friends were present.
 The bride was gowned in white china silk trimmed in a profusion of rich faces to match, and wore orange blossoms She is a young woman of rare accomplish ments and is quite pretty and attractive. The bridegroom is young attorney whose future is tinted with richest expec tations. He is County Superintendent of Education and ranks as Colonel on ths Governors stan.
 MT. Mcdowell and his bride will be at home to their friends at the residence of MT. and Mrs. E. G. Dent on Broad Street.

Sound Doctrine.
(Monteomerv (Ala.) Advertiser

(Montgonery (Ala.) Advertiser.)
We note that Congressman John Lamb;
of the Richmond District; is taking a
strong position against any Federal in
reference with the hours of labor in
the States, and there should be no doubt
about the correctness of his position. OF
course, In the navy yards. Federal build
ings; and other places exclusively under
the control of the Federal government,
it has the same power to fix the hours
Of labor that it has to make other reg
ulations; but the contention of some ex-
IRENE centralists that Congress or any
other branch OF the general government
slall have power to regulate the hours
of labor in any or all of the States is
not at all tenable.
But while this ought to be beyond con
troversy, We note that the West Point
(Va.) Plaindealer takes more advanced
position and contends that State has
no more right to fax the subject than the
Federal government has. Here is part
of its argument.
If we hired a man to work for so mucfi
per day and tell him a day is from early
morning until evening, and he is willing
to accept the price and hours named,
the State has nothing to do with it. II
the factories, where: they can work by
gas or electric light. choose to agree
with their employees upon eight or ten
hours for day, it is all right and sat
factory. But in the country, where the
days are short. and work scarce six
months in the year, and just about. three
or four months in the spring and early
summer, let them arrange the hours to
suit themselves, their work and season.
II they put in eighteen hours a day for
a month let them alone. We have the
same right to say fifty minutes make an
hour as to say eight hours must make
your day.
This strikes us as sound reasoning,
and it is IN line with the position more
than cnce taken by the Advertiser. The
State laws should prevent both employ
ers and employees from violating tfielr
contracts without good cause, but we
do not admit that either the State or
Federal government should fix the hours
of labor or the amount to be paid. Those
who labor and those who employ labor
are the proper parties to regulate both
time and wages. and any outside inter-
ference is officious intermeddling. We
hold this position to be good and sound

effort to discover the owner Of the straw
hat found floating in the canal, yester.
day with a note signed J. E. 3. iii the

drowned himself to find surcease from

their denials One man whose initials
were not j. E, B., but who lived where
a Js&E. B. should have lived. according to
the directory, was not only emphatic but
pugnacious in his denials, Of having se-
lected the canal as good place to forget
the woman who loved him not. His wife
was present at the interview and that
fact may have made him more than orr
dinarily anxious to establish an alip.
There are twenty-thrse Richmonders
who possess those initials according to
the directory, and the dozen called upon
last night had noticed the condolences
and were greatly interested in the case
So far as can be learned, however, no
j. +. B. is missing.
A theory that is gaining many adher-
ents is that inasmuch as yesterday was
the last day man could with propriety
wear d straw hat. J. e. B. decided to
utilize that which had become useless as
Iead-covering to create sensation.

A Grand-Duke,s Views of Chicago.
(Harper's Week1y.l

tHarperS Weekiy.)
The Russian Grand Duke Boris, cousin
of the Car. who, with his staff is com
pleting tour of the world. evidently
found Chicago much to his liking. When
first the flag of the Grand Duke was
raised over the Russian Consulate on
Rush street his plans contemplated a
stay of only two days in the city by
Lake Michigan. But once caught in the
current of strenuous western hospitality,
Boris postponed his departure from day
to-day. and nearly two weeks passed be-
fore the flag was finally lowered. During
that time the Grand Duke assisted lin
the dedication of a Russian church; he
went coaching through the summer set
Elements on the North Shore; he visited
the stock-yards and the university; he
played polo at the Onwentsia Club. and
ran racing automobile into an oak tree;
he was the guest of honor at innumera-
bic dinners and luncheons; he went up
to Lake Geneva, the Newport of the West,
around which the rich men of Chicago
have built circle of summer palaces,
and there looked at the stars through the
great Yerkes telescopes; he drank cham
payne from the white satin slipper of
Chicago chorus-girl; and, finally. in de-
parting. he left this picturesque message
to his hosts: Most truly l dare not tell
you how ! like Chicago. You would not
believe. Let me. to make farewell, give
opinion that it is one most square spo,
of all I discover. / hate to go away from
It. and as you Americans say, YOU bet 1
