 If East really wanted the dia- mond suit continued, she could have spared a higher diamond than the six. It seemed evident that East was trying to discour- age another diamond lead and was asking for a shift.
 The natural shift was to heart, so Mrs. Teichman led the ten of that suit on the second trick. Whether declarer finessed or not, she now has to lose a heart, a club and two diamonds, and so be defeated by one trick.

irlitated from different angles.
The one that arouses the ire of the la

Monday March 4th 1895.


Governor Pearson arrived on Satur-
day or the S. "Catherin for the Dur-
pose of trying to smooth out the labor
situation. In The evening he held con-
ference with the representatives of the
La Grange Sugar Factory and the st.
Croix Labor Union. 1t is said that at
this conference so cents was suggested
as the basic pay for an hour day
The question of wages is one on which
the administra ion seems 10 be split. In
is said that the Lieutenant Governor
favors a go cent wage Judge Jackson
is working with those who favor the
higher wage scale He seems to be the
leading figure on the side of labor in
this question.
The Governor has not been definitely
placed but it is said that Mr.. Tiley. en-
gineer Of the Virgin Islands Company is
sympathetic with the demands of the
worke while Mr. Boyd Brown. Presi-
dent of the Company does not want to
hear any higher figure discussed.
The ore problem confronting the men
connected with the V. J. Company, which
eclpses every other problem is how to
spend million dollars before the let of
July, as any unexpended balance from
the P w A will revert TO the Federal
IRE asury.
A million dollars is so much monev
that it is Chinese puzzle to dispose of
it in ST. Croix. except the laborers be
admitted into the swim.
If those boys of the Virgin Islands
Company feel that under ordinary cir
cumstaDces they cannot pay the wages
demanded by the laborers they might
have promised to do 80 until the end uf
I,rno az thora would he less headache
and far less planning for the disposition
of this vast sum of money.
1t is Lagrange and the small private
owners who will feel the increase of
wages.

EARTH, SUN, MOON
GIVE SHOW MONDAY

With only the latter stages hidden
from spectators in the valley by the
clouds which had hung in the sky all
day and only started to disperse late
in the evening, the moons total eclipse
was seen here by almost everyone.
Rising full and yellow over the
bluffs, by eight o'clock it was in full
eclipse and shone copper colored with
seemingly black spot in it's center.
1t stayed so until about Gas when
an occasional rift in the clouds showed
a gradually increasing crescent Of
white as it worked it's way from the
earth's encompassing shadow.
BY 1870 it was back at it's old stand
as a yelled maiden, satellite of the
earth, or piece of green cheese, &C
cordingly as viewed by poets, astron-
omers or men in the street..
The phenomenon came with the di-
rect alignment of sun, earth and moon,
the moon sliding through the earth's
umbral cone, which extends 100000
miles into space, at a point approx
mately 100000 miles away.
The refracted rays from the sun,
which gave the eclipsed moon pale,
phosphorescent copper color and made
it still visible, were bent around and
directed into the earth's umbra by va
porous substances about the earth's
surface.
The eclipse was the longest one in
a century and will not be repeated for
another fifty years. 1t was the first
eclipse of the moon visible in the
United States for eight years.
