Total Eclipse of The Sun August 30

The total eclipse of the sun, which is
scheduled to occur on August 80, will
be observed by astronomers with much
interest, for observation then taken
may help to solve some questions about
which there has been much speculation.
The shadow path of the eclipse will
make the necessary scientific work Of
observation comparatively easy, says an
exchange.
The path begins at sunrise south of
Hudson's bay, enters the Atlantic ocean
short distance north of Newfoundland,
crosses northwestern Spain, northeast
ern Algiers, and northeastern Tunis,
passes centrally over Assuan on the
Nile, and ends at sunset in southeastern
Arabia. The durations on the coast of
Laborator, in Spain, and at Assuan are
two and a half, three and three-fourths
and two and three-fifths minutes re-
spectively.
In connection with this eclipse Prof.
w. w. CAMPBELL, director of the Lick
observatory, has published an interest
ing paper on the facts already ascer-
tanned regarding the sun during pre-
vious observations. To the modern
astronomer our sun is only one of the
ordinary stars, says Prof. Campbell but
it is the only star near enough to show
disk. All other stars are as mathe-
NAUTICAL points, even when the greatest
telescope magnifies them 5000 fold.
| The eclipse of August 30 will occur
when the earth is seven degrees from
the plane Of the solar equator. 1t is to
| be hoped observing parties we'll equip
ped for the intramercuriai search viii
be located at Labrador Spain, Tunis
and Egypt. If clear weather prevails
at any -ofthe four stations valuable re-
suits may be secured. Should new
planet be observed at three such
stations the enormous interest height
ened by the fact that it's approximate
orbit could be determined at once. If
no planets are revealed the negative re-
suit would be scarcely less valuable
than positive results, and the intramer-
curial question would cease to be a
pressing eclipse problem.

The text book to be written on
etiquette should contain chapter on
telephone manners. Bad manners at
the telephone are very common and it
is astonishing how much rudeness some
persons, otherwise courteous and polite,
will exhibit in the act of telephoning.
People need to be told that it is very
cowardly to be rude and insulting over
the telephone wire. to persons they
would not dare affront face to face.
Some men are very bold at the tele-
phone because they are safely out of
reach of the boot Of the person whom
they insult.--Kansas City Journal.
Three presidents of the United States
died on July 4th. They were Adams,
Jefferson and Monroe. Adams was dis
turbed by the ringing of bells and boom
ing of cannon and was asked if he knew
what caused the celebration. ooh, yes
he replied, "it is the Fourth Of July
God bless it'll" In the course of the day
he said, ut is glorious day!" Jefferson
was breathing his last at the same NOM
ent and with almost his final breath
asked if it were not the Fourth.

important Election
 Is Fast Approaching
THE DATE IS THE 26TH INST, AND
 RiSsEE IS IN NEED OF MORE . SCHOOL ROOM.

An election is to be held in Bisbee on the 18th inst. for the combined pur- pose of electing new school trustees and the additional purpose of submit ting 10 the taxpayers of Bisbee proposition for a special tax for the purpose of providing quarters for the fast increasing population of school children.
 The trustees. after a careful canvass of the situation, have decided that It will be necessary to raise $S,0OO for this purpose The school buildings in Tombstone canyon and in the vicinity of Lowell are at present unable to ac- commodate all ot the children in a proper manner By the time the new school year arrives. unless prompt ac- tion is taken now. Bisbee will present the sorry spectacle of not being able to provide public school facilities for all of the children in our midst.
 The trustees have estimated that with the additional property available for assessment, that a special tax of one-half of one per cent will raise the necessary funds. 50 cents on each $10O of assessable property. Bisbee has always met every demand on her of this kind. and there is DO doubt that the election will carry in favor of more schools and better facilities for the proper education of our children.

WORKING BOTH SIDES.

Many Democrats as well as Republi- cans in Congress are ripping mad at the President of the United States be, cause he has done something that they consider reorehensible, and this is the story in brief: Several months ago the President sent two agents or commissioners to the Indian territory to investigate the stories of corrup
 tion and rottenness down there among the Federal officials. They went
 made the investigation and reported to the President through the Secretary of the Interior. Their report has been ill the hands of the President for more than month. and some three weeks ago the House. by resolution. asked the President for the report. At that time the Indian appropriation bill was under consideration. and the House wanted some information on the re- port that there was rottenness in the Territory. They got none. and the bill was passed by the House and then passed by the Senate and has been signed by the President Now, after the thing has become the law. the President sends in the report of his agents who investigated the stories of corruption and the report corrob- crates every charge that has been made concerning the Dawes Commis- sion and the men who represent the government in the Indian Territory. If that report had been before the House before the Indian appropriation bill had been passed the appropriation continuing the Dawes Commission in existence would have been knocked -aliey vest The President. by hold

There was a small sized sensation
 in the House last Monday morning
 when the committee to investigate the
 report of Assistant Postmaster Gen.
 eral Bristow made it's report It 1 was rumored that not less than 150 \ of the House members were implicat- ed in the report as having violated the law and there was considerable doing about" until the printed report was brought into the House It was eagerly seized and scanned with much fear and trembling by the mem
 bers until they were satisfied that they were not in the list of the alleg- ed evil doers. Those implicated were charged either with renting buildings
 owned by them to the government for
 postofhces. or else that they had been instrumental in getting the allowances
 creased, the inference being that they
 had done so with some ulterior mo-
 tive and not for the good of the serv-
 ice. This whole thing is a case of great cry and little wool. The mem bers who have been thus publicly charged by Mir Bristow with violating the law have only done 50 technically and for no graft or loot. They have simply written to the postoffice depart ment authorities when appealed to by their constituents or by the postmas- ters in their districts for greater fa- cilities for handling the mails. Many Of the cases Of increase have been jus tffed by the increase of business ir the office asking for it. and perhaps not one per cent of the so-called of lenses have been committed with guilty intent. The whole truth of the matter is that the report was started by the Republican postal authorities to hide the real culprits in the dis graceful lust of loot ana distract the attention of the people of the country from the head devils and center of thfs volcano of venality They are trying to do the cuttefsh act which spews | out an inky stuff to hide from it's enc
 mics. It will be the fault of the peo- pie if they allow themselves to be
 hoodwinked by this sort of diaphanous attempt 10 hide the Republican thieves i in the departments at Washington

"NiGGER" IN THE WooDPILE SOMEWHERE.

The action of the city registering officer of Bisbee in refusing to allow fellow citizen to inspect the regstra- ton books, is without precedent in ;he Territory of Arizona. The action of the city registering officer smells of a political job in connection with he registration, which the voters of Bis bee, regardless of politics, will not tolerate for an instant.
 The city registering officer of Bis bee is a public officer. The City Reg ister of Bisbee is a public record. and any citizen is entitled 10 inspect the names contained thereon at any time during the office hours of this public servant, who is busily engaged in writ ing down names of voters at 20 cents per The contention of the city regis tering officer that the City Register is only for his eyes, is so absurd as to ap pear ridiculous. There would be just as much sense for the county recorder of this county to refuse to allow cit izen to see the names as they appear on the Great Register of the county. Happily Mir. Hicks. the registering officer, Is not the sole custodian of the Great Register of this city. He is amenable to the law, and if he persists in his refusal to allow whomsoever will to see the names as they are en- tered thereon, an order of court will be secured forthwith to compel him to do so.
 The action of the registering officer in this particular is ground for grave suspicious that all is not right in the conduct of the city registration. What is there to conceal about the Great Register? Why are not the citizens of Bisbee allowed to see the names contained thereon? Has there been illegal registration of voters in Bisbee for the approach ing city election, and is it the intention of the custodian of the register to hide these names away from the eyes of the public?
 The action of Mr Hicks in thfs mat ter will not meet with the approval of the voters of Bisbee It is usurp- ation of power which the law does not give him.
 The voters Of Bisbee love fair play V attempt at unfair dealing will be
