q II you care to turn out in the small
hours of Thursday morning to see the
bpectacle, partial eclipse Of the moon
will be presented to your view; but as
Ness that one-sixth of the moons diam
5eter will be covered at the middle of the
eclipse, it is not likely that many will
eonsider the game worth the candle.
<Rowever, the paths of the sun and moon
IRE so near together that two weeks
later, on the Sd Of February, there will
be an eclipse of the sun, and in the
Smiddle of the day. This will be total
eclipse where il is total, but as usual the
bath Of totally is largely wasted on the
sunpOpulated areas of the Pacific and At
1antic Oceans. In New Euglsnd it Is
visible as partial eclipse, about four
<tenths Of the SUMS diameter being cover
4 ed by the moon at it's greatest extent.
In the divorce case of Mary G.. Maxim
vs.. Harry <. Maxim, in which there was
hearing ten days since in the Cumber-
land Superior Court, Judge Connolly
fled his decree on Thursday. Mrs.
Maxim Is given the divorce for cruel
and abusive treatment, and the custody
Of the two sons, Frank and Philip, is
given to Mrs. Maxim and the boys
grandfather, franklin Maxim Of South
Paris, jointly. In case either custodian
declines TO accept, the custody Is to be
vested in the other alone. Ii is also pro-
vided in the decree that the sons shall
be forthwith removed to Cumberland
County. The libelee is also ordered to
pay the libelant $500 per week, and
$500 per week for the support Of the
children. For the past two or three
years the sons have been with their
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin
Maxim, at South Paris.
As grossly exaggerated along several
lines as the report of Mark Twain's
death, appears to have been the report
Of the INJURY to Willard Phelps Saturday
night, the Sth. The following Monday
morning the Democrat was informed
that the boy, while skating at Savoy
Thester Saturday night, had broken his
ankle, so badly that the bones protrud-
Il ed Inquiry at an authoritative source
4 disclosed that the injury was not a
break, but sprain, and not very Sc
a we're one at that. 1t did not occur to the
81 Democrat to ask about the manner of
n the injury, as there was no thought that
n that had been incorrectly stated. 1t has
since been learned that the boy was not
skating and had not been skating, but
was hurt after leaving the hall, in a
trough house" in the hallway, where
certain boys were "laying for" other
boys. In the scrimmage bis foot was
caught in the banisters and twisted.
In the Official Bulletin of the Ken
lucky State Dental Association for Janu-
airy, copy of which comes to the Demo
crat, is an article on novocsine and its
application for the general practitioner
in dentistry, by DR.. +. w. Rounds,
which is along the same line as his book
recently published which was noted 10
these columns. 1t also appears that he
is president of the Jefferson County So
ciety, and in the department of the Bull
letin devoted to that society is the fol-
lowing final paragraph. which led TO the
suspicion that doc" was in charge OF
that department, even before the sus-
piciou was verified by the discovery OF
his name: "The editor Of this depart
ment of the Bulletin hopes that any
member OF the Jefferson County Society
who knows of any reliable gossip, scan
dial, news or interesting items relating to
his fellow sufferers in the profession,
will submit them each month. We
promise that they will be published even
we have to cut out Farrar's editorials
to do it,"
