HoWe'S Moving Pictures,

Lyman's II. HOwe's moving pictures
will appear at the Opera House on
November 18th under the auspices of
the Women's society of Saint Paul's
M. E. church. The Wilkesbarre Record
says:
There was standing room, and very
little of that, at Music Hall last even
ing, when Lyman II. Howe's moving
pictures opened their sixteenth
semi annual season, under the
auspices Of the Welsh Congrega
tional church. This is remarkable
business for here, when the present
strike is taken into consideration, as
money is scarce. But then, the high
standard of Howe's previous exhibit
tions was some criterion to go by and
will always pack the theatre here,
strike or no strike This seasons
show is as far superior to his former
ones as day is of night. Sixty series
of pictures were shown and all were
better, finer and rarer than ever seen
here. The collection is certainly
magificient, consisting of the pick of
the besst and finest pictures made by
the worlds greatest artists in Europe
and weIe personally importd by Mr..
Howe, showing what Photographic
gems can be scored when neither
money nor time is considered. Every
picture proved a winner and
thorough surprise, as the subjects are
new, unique and novel, and depict
scenes in foreign countries thousands
of miles from America. The most i'm
pressive and interesting pictures of the
evening were those showing the coro
nation Of King Edward and Queen
Alexander and the scenes of pOmp and
splendor leading up to and following
the coronation. This series alone Is
show in itself and it is a marvellous
reproduction of scene that very rare
" occurs and were it not for the pro-
gressive moving picture artists the
scene of splendor could be gazed at
only Ey the wealthy and moro fortu-
nate.

with terrible fall Sunday shortly
after noon and miraculously escaped
serious injury He was standing at
the top of the long flight of steps
leading from the Moneta Club room to
Mill street when he fell over back
wards and rolled the entire distance
down to the bottom of the stairs. He
was bruised about the hips but with
assistance was able to walk home. Dr..
Curry was called, who found the
bruises slight and no evidences Of any
internal injury. Sunday evening Mr..
Gross was able to walk around as usual.

Total Eclipse Of the Moon.

total eclipse of any one of the
heavenly bodies is the centre of uni
versal interest. The total eclipse of
the moon which occurs tonight Is al
ready very much talked of and the
hope every where entertained is that
the weather may prove favorable so as
to afford a good view of the phenom-
enon-
The eclipse will be visible over all
of North and South America. The
moon will enter the earth's shadow at
H. II p m. and the total eclipse will
begin nineteen minutes after mid
night Those who wish to witness the
phenomenon, therefore, will have to
make up their mind to forego por
tion of their nights rest. The mid
die of the eclipse will not occur until
1.03 a. m. and the total phase will not
end antil 48 a. m, although the
moon will not entirely emerge from
the shadow until 2 90 a. m.
In lunar eclipse occurring at full
moon such as the present, or when the
sun is at point in the heavens diam
etricaily opposite and due to the moon
plunging into the great shadow cone of
the earth, the moon passes completely
within the conical shadow at point
where it is about one and one-half
times the apparent angular diameter
of the moon. This accounts for the
length of the totality of eclipse of
hour and 30 minutes Whether the
moon will disappear completely from
view or not during the total phase
will depend upon the general weather
conditions in the portions of the at
mosphere about the earth through
which the sun will attempt to project
its rays. 1t may happen as it usually
does that the unabsorbed red rays
will be still bent into the shadow and
be cast on the surface of the moon
even during totality. The moon then
assumes a peculiar copper color.

The Boil Weevi1.

One of the strongest incentives to
diversitication of crops III the cotton
belt is the boil weevil, says an ex-
change That it will always be pest
ineradicable by human effort is the
opinion of our best entomologis:s. That
it may be rendered comparatively
harmless by persistent and intelligent
effort is also the opinion of experts,
but this effort will cost something ana
proportionatcly reduce the profits OF
cotton growing. This. however, may
be overcome by smaller areas, better
cultivation and heavier yields per acre.

Saving Grain.

Horses al moderate farm work can
be kept in good condition on partly
cured clover and one third the usual
grain ration. We have been trying this
scheme uC,iu this year on account
Of the high price of feed, and certainly
the horses are satisfied with the ar
rangcment They like the green clover
better than the cured. and a single cut

But Little River Coal Extracted.

Now that winter is approaching and
the miners strike is still unsettled,
and coal famine stares us i'll the face
many of our citizens are heard to ex-
press regret that an earlier effort was
not made to gather coal from the riv-
Ell here. With fuel so much in de-
mand and supply of coal so near at
hand which could be had merely for
the labor of extracting it, it is consid-
cred very unfortunate that the first
half of October should have passed be-
fore any coal was extracted more than
brought in by few row boats during
low water.
Mr.. LeDuc expects to have his coal
digger at work in a day or so, but the
season is far advanced and next month
may bring wintry weather. His mach
inc at best can supply only limited
quantity considering the enormous
demand in town.

A Convenience to Pedestrians.

The pew vitrified brick crossing
over East Mahoning street between the
Post Office and the Grone building
was thrown open to travel Sunday
afternoon. The pavement in front of
the Grone building, which was closed
for over a week while in process of
laying, was thrown open Saturday
night. The crossing and pavement be-
ing restored to travel pedestrians en-
JOY great convenience, which is
highly appreciated, especially dur
ing rainy weather when owing to the
mud it is not pleasant to step out into
the street.
Horses and vehicles will not be per-
mitted to pass over the crossing for a
day or so longer, until the bricks are
more firmly set Besides some cob
bling and great deal of filling up are
necessary before the crossing can be
used by horses and wagons.
