LARGE AUDIENCE
 BURNs' CONCERT
Singer Charms Juneau Peo- pie with Marvellous
 Voice and Personality

Miss Marye turns charmed and delighted the large audience that attended her concert at the Coli scum Theatre last evening, with her voice of rare beauty, her per feet stage presence and program which was extremely varied. It IS the first time a Juneau audience has had the opportunity of hear ing Miss Burns for three years and she was greeted by a spontaneous burst of applause when she appear ed on the stage. The audience expressed it's appreciation by con- tinued applause after each group of songs, and called repeatedly for encores, with which the gifted artist was most generous.
 Five Groups of Songs
 There were five groups of songs. representing practically every type, from the simple ballad to the more technical opera airs.
 The group which was enjoyed, perhaps, more than any other was made up of three southern airs composed by Mrs. A. w. Radford, wife of Commander A. w. Radford who is in command of the Alaska Aerial Survey Detachment here Mrs Radford graciously accompan- jed Miss Burns in this group. As an encore they gave, Raining" delightful little thing which Mrs. Radford composed in a few minutes several days ago, and dedicated to Miss Burns.
 The songs in this group were truly southern in their harmonies and melodies, and showed that they had been written by one familiar with the negro music.
 In the first group, Tes Yeux, by Rabey, and The Russian Nightin- gale, offered Miss Burns an oppor- tunity to show her perfect tech nique, the wide range of her voice, and showed her to be an artist in every sense of the word
 Miss Burns was perfectly accom- panied by Mrs. Fern Vance who is herself, an accomplished artist In the second group of songs, the Prayer Perfect" which was very legato, showed, perhaps more than any other selection, the abso- lute control Miss Burns has. "The Longest and Shortest Day." by Tur- ner -Malley, was lovely, as sung by Miss Burns, with her rich, appeal. ing voice.
 The fourth group was made up of more popular ballads, Alone. " Lover, Come Back to Me" and Silver Moon.". While the more
 difficult airs, showed the perfect technique and training of Miss Burns voice to greater advantage, there is a warmth and sweetness i to it that makes it particularly appealing when she sang the fa- miliar ballads. AS an encore after the last group Miss Burns sang "Be The Best of What You Are, , and as a final encore, she gave "The Last Rose of Summer" i Shows Dramatic Ability Miss Burns sings with ease and vivacity and shows her dramatic
 ability in adapting her manner to the type of song. She was love- | ly in white chiffon gown, the
 bodice of which was covered with seuuins,> and carried bouquet of
 roses which were presented to her
 during the evening.
 Entertained At Reception After the concert, Dr. and Mrs iC. P. Jenne entertained at 3 re- ception in honor of Miss Burns Among those invited were, Lieut.
 Commander and Mrs. A. w. Rad ford, Dr. and Mrs. Howe Vance 1 the Rev. and Mrs. c. E. Rice, Dr. | and Mrs l.. P. Dawes, MT. and

BIG MASS RALLY
To Extend Successful
Organization Drive

A mass meeting of all organized
and unorganized workers in the shoe
manufacturing industry will he held
this Thursday evening by the indie
pendent Shoe Workers Uuion in
Lorraine Hall, 799 Broadway, Brook
Ign, at s o'clock.
In addition to the nationally
known speakers, leaders o.. The mill
tant labor movement here, the union
officers will deliver full report of
tie brilliant organization drive the
union has been carrying on with
such remarkable success during tie
past few weeks.
Only three weeks have passed
since the organization swung into
the drive that has already resulted
in a gain in union membership Of
several thousand and what is more
important, the signing up of about
a score of large shoe factories by
the union.
Nearly all of these plants were
signed up, with attendant raises in
wages, and other union conditions,
after strikes lasting anywhere from
few days to few weeks had been
called.
In not a single instance did any
Of these strikes end in anything but
an outright victory for the workers.
And the unionization drive being
carrie' on by the union is by no
means over. 1t has not even reached
its peak as the extensive prepare
tions now under way for it's extern
sion show. This mass meeting is ex-
pected to serve as a medium for
extending the campaign into other
sections Of Brooklyn.
Meanwhile the strike being car
ried on against the Franklin Shoe
Company is being prosecuted with
the fullest vigor. This firm had re-
fused to renew the agreement when
the workers demanded an increase
in wages. Three or four more shops
are to be called out on strike in a
day or two, unionization of the
crews being almost completed.

SUN ECLIPSE
DUE ON NOV. |
Moon Will Cause Shadow
of Minor Importance.
By Science Serrice

By Science Scrrtce
WASHINGTON. Oct. 28.-On Nov.
1 the shadow of the moon will OBJ
scure the face of the sun for the
second time this year. This eclipse,
however, will be of the type known
to astronomers as an annular
eclipse.
Since the moon is smaller than
the sun, its shadow, when thrown
toward the earth, is cone-shaped.
The dark disk, which obScureS the
face of the sun during the eclipse,
varies in size, according to the dis
lance of the moon from the earth.
If the eclipse occurs when the
moons path brings it nearest to the
earth, then the sun is obScured
totally. If it happens when the
moon is farther away, the moon ap-
pears smaller than the sun and a
ring or "annulus" of light is visible
around the dark lunar disk.
1t is this latter kind of eclipse
which will occur on Nov. 1. The
annular type of eclipse is not con-
sidered important from an astro-
ncmical point of view. The next re-
ally important eclipse convenient for
the United States will be visible in
August, 1882, in New England and
Canada
