To observers in the eastern states this
phenomena will be visible in the early
morning. when the full moon is sinking
low in the western sky. The moon, how
ever, will have passed below the horizon

greater part of the eclipse will be in
visible in this latitude.
But while the orb is passing from the
observation Of eastern observers it will
be in excellent position in the early
morning sky to those in the western part
of the country, and so the farther west
the observer is located the more of the
eclipse will be visible.
Far out on the Pacific coast this phe-
nomena will present a magnificent spec

ginning to the end.

Don't Worry, Don't Cry"
Mrs. Eaton Writes to Her
Daughter.
SAYS ALL WILL BE WELL
WITHIN NEXT FEW DAYS
Grand Jury Will Consider Murder
Charges Against Wife of Rear
Admiral on Monday.

PLYMOUTH. Mass, March 21-The
grand jury Will convene in special ses-
sion here at 10 O'Clock Monday morning

Eaton. who was arrested yesterday
charged with the murder by poisoning
of her husband, Rear Admiral Eaton.
From her room in the county, Jail Mrs.
Eaton sent cheerful message this morn
ing to her daughter, Miss Dorothy Aims

Il want to tell you all not to worry
about me-" she wrote. Don't cry and
take on over it, for it will all come all
right in a few days. Look after mother
and don't allow her to become excited,
and be sure to take care of everything
on the place.
Mrs. Eaton had learned that her
mother. Mrs. George Harrison. whe is i'll

fering intensely because of the shock of
her daughters arrest.
Widow Is Optimistic.
The widow herself appeared optimistic

work or have some other exercise.

tivity."

ment of the naval officer few years

lieutenant in the navy. From his gradu-
alton at Annapolis until his retirement

D. H. Ainsworth. an employe of the Sen
ate at Washington, and she and the ad-
miral were married in 1907.

went alone on shooting expedition
away into the wild country of the
Malabar coast. The poor fellow was
attacked by fever in the jungle died
and was buried. and the people where
he died felt themselves in no little diff.
hculty as to how his spirit might be
pacifed and not haunt them.

place upon his grave something dis.

told that small party Of these simple

and purchased a bottle Of whisky two
