The First Clear Night.

Those who had the opportunity OF see
ing the moon pass through the earth s
shadow on Saturday evening last, saw
the only eclipse visible in our longitude
this year Eclipses of the moon always
occur at her full, because then only
could she pass into the shadow of the
earth.
Before going on to the study of the
fixed stars we must be sure we know
the planets now visible-to AVOID con-
fusion The most brilliant object in
our western sky these evenings is the
planet Venus, higher in the sky each
night. Farther east is Mars, which is
red in color and passes the meridian
about ten o'clock. These two planets
revolve about the sun just as our earth
does. Once we know them we can make
no mistake about them.
Turning to the southwestern quarter
of the heavens. look for four bright stars
forming quadrilateral and enclosing a
row of three stars stretched across it
This is the constellation Orion, the
mighty hunter" and it contains more
bright stars than other constellation.
This constellation is spoken of in many
ancient writings, as in Job tx (which
maketh Arcturus Orion and Pleiades.
The four stars mark out the body of
Orion, the row of three his belt, and
several faint ones the sword suspended
from his belt The easternmost of the
four main stars is Betelgeuse and it,
with two brilliant ones in other constel-
lations, form an immense equilateral
triangle. One of these two, Sirius, is
easily found on accoant of its great
brilliance, it being the brightest star in
the heavens. When you have ii and
Betelgeuse you can easily find the third,
Procyon
"Betelgeuse in Orion, and Sirius and
Procyon make an equilateral triangle. |"
Sirius is also known az the Great Dog
Star, Procyon as the Little Dog Star,
each being the brightest star in the con-
stellati, ms so named Each of these
stars has been found recently to be fol
lowed by little companion revolving
about it as a center. just as the earth
does about our sun. These companions
have actually been seen. Sirius and
Procyon, therefore, are suns.
Next week we will look at the solar
system. PROSPECT STAR CLUB.

THE PRESS MUELLER.

The Legislature Of Pennsylvania is
due to adjourn to-day. 1t would have
been better for its general reputation,
had it adjourned several days ago.
During the last three days Of last
week bill creating new libel law(if the
Governor signs III was rushed through
both houses-Durham, Penrose and
others doing the bullying.
The libel laws of this state are more
strict to-day than those of any other
state in the Union. and no amendments
or additions are needed, but the gang
that has been robbing the County OF
Philadelphia for years want catch in
a couple of newspapers there that have
been too outspoken in their criticisms.
The Senate, which has been as much
of a curse to the state for years as has
been the U. S. Senate to the Nation,
passed the bill almost unanimously; and
in the House, a majority of the members
took orders" or something else from
the gang and voted for it. Our two
members voted against it.
The bill is designed to circumvent the
mandate of the Constitution as TO the
freedom of the press TO criticise the
doings of public officials and also the
law regarding the character of candi-
dates. 1t will promote blackmailing
suits for trifiing discrepancies as to
facts, and by the use Of the word meg
ligence" throws the burden of proof
upon the publisher 1t should never
have been reported from Committee,
but under present conditions it was i'm
possible for the Cancer Of Quayism to
help cropping out in some form.
The newspapers of the state with
one accord" haye protested against it,
and Gov. Pennypacker has fixed upon
Tuesday of next week, in the Hall OF
the House, as the time and place for a
public hearing.

PALE, NERVOUS
BLOODLESS PEOPLE

SO many splendid cures have been
made in purely nervous affections by
DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills, people
are apt to lose sight of the fact that
they are a magnificent blood and gener-
al tonic. They give to every organ the
power to work, to do its duty as it
should-to the blood richness in quan-
tity and quality no other medicine can.
Appetite. digestion, strength, nerve
strength all are furnished by their
tonic power To the system at large
they give general feeling Of vigorous
robust health.
Mrs. J. e. MiIheim OF 2l9 North Wash
ington ST Butler, Pa, says:-"A relative
of mine used Or. A. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills as general and particularly as u
nerve tonic with great success. She was
when she got the Pills at ID. Fl. Wuller's
Drug Store, 112 South Main St, run
down, pale, lacked strength, nervous,
sleepless and lacked appetite and restful
sleep. This think ia good proof of
their value

Department Commander Scott made
n speech at the meeting in Old City
Hall, Pittsburg, last Thursday night to
celebrate the anniversary Of Lee sur
render, on which he said:
while l was born up in old Butler
county, where nothing much besides
good farm products are said to be raised
we still were able to hear the gun
which fired on Ft Sumter, and after /
had listened TO the echoes of that gun
for few days, and had heard a thrill

old Butler county preachers, | went

soldiers in Allegheny to be mustered in
to the army by that great war Cover
nor, Andrew Curtin, where he christen-
ei us the Seventy-eighth Regiment of
Volunteer infantry.
Mr.. Scott graphically traced the his
tory OF the regiment through the war, and
fetraced its steps with its few survivors
to their homes. In his opinion the sur-
render at Appomattox created lust az
distinct an epoch in the worlds history
as the birth Of Christ had done for the
moral world. He paid high tribute

ing him even on n higher plane than
