IN tho eastern part of the United States
will SEQ the brilliant red planet Mars
shining out almost on it's edge. A very

our satellite is moving nearer the planet
and soon after it will be seen to pass
between us and this body gradually cut

hidden about one hour, after which IL

AS viewed from Washington. the planet
will disappear at the point A, Fig. z. at
8 hours so minutes pm, and reappear
at "a h7 minutes later. These times. how

In the southwest they are nearly an
hour earlier, while as seen from the
southern states the path B lies nearer
the lower edge Of the moon. To observers
in the far west the moon VIII not rise

This rare and most interesting phe-
nomenon will well repay observation. AS
the exact time of occurrence for any OBJ

cial computation, he should note the
relative positions of the two bodies as

which is naturally most serious in the
case Of woman whose costumes are the
object OF friendly curiosity every time she
appears In public. and it is scant wonder
that to many woman whose name is
well known to newspaper readers the
ideal vacation means seclusion, where she
can don garb that is comfortable without
regard to the dictates of fashion.
That such seclusion has real charms
for many OF the fair sex is attested by the
number Of well known women who seek
comparative solitude in summer when
they might with less effort be swept
into the social whirl at Newport or Bar
Harbor. Thus we find Mrs. John d.

existence at Forest Hill, her husband's 8

There are a few prominent women who

Receipts of hogs were larger than
they have been. In addition there
was falling off in the demand from
outside sources and unfavorable re-
ports were received from other mar
kets. Local packers forced general
reduction of 10 cents some sales
showing more and others less than
the general decline. The trading was
quiet and the finish weak. Most of

Receipts of cattle were larger than
they have been for several days, and
in some departments the market was
not quite as satisfactory to sellers as
yesterdays, particularly as regards
steers, but prices were steady. Bulls
were strong and calves strong to

which is probably the highest since
1882.
While there was a slight increase in
the marketing of sheep and lambs,
the supply was no larger than the
trade required and the usual good
clearance was made early at prices
that compared favorably with yester-
day Lambs sold for $500 down, and
sheep for s4.75 down.

Much interest has been manifest in
New Years eve celebration and it is
probable that from one-third to one
half of the citizens of Richmond will
witness the year 1909 die most pleas
ant and natural death. and cheer the
arrival of the new year, 1910.
1t is doubtful. if ever before in the
history of the city. there were as many
watch parties arranged for as this. The
New Years eve dance tonight at the
Odd Fellows hall will take the place
of many a watch party. Several of the
churches, or organizations within the
churches. have arranged watch par
ties.
