—_—_ i TCHING THE ECLIPSE. The Weather Was Most Favorable in California and the Northwest. The fine, clear weather of yesterday waseven more welcome to astronomers than it was to the millions of merry-makers and New Year callers in all parts of the country. To the for- mer it meant an unobstructed view of the eclipse of the sun, which was visible nearly in its totality on the Pacific coast. Observation parties from the leading colleges and observa- tories of the country were stationed at different points in California, and nearly all of these were favored with a cloudless sky and clear air, CLOUDS AND HAZE AT NELSON, CAL. Prof. Louis Smith, of Warner observatory, Rochester, N. Y., was stationed at Nelson, Cal, and telegraphed the following as the result of his observations: “As far as affording opportn- nity to search for intra-Mercurial planets, it was a failure from clouds and haze. All four contacts were well made, a chronometer watch previously set to Lick observatory time being used. Five very small, colorless protuberances were seen, all having pointed apexes near the point. Near the point of one was another de- tached from the sun. Bailey's heads were seen , dand third contacts. but entirely seen at Denver in 1878. No chro- e was visible, though looked for. Mer- as, Vega and Alpha Cyngi were seen. a could not be drawn, but as se through the telescopes was not very extensiv, At St. Helena, Cal., all the conditions were THE PLANETS FOR JANUARY. How og. will be osed in the First onth of the New Year. Condensed from the Providence Journal, Venus is evening star, and this charming planet will be the radiant queen of the stars until nearly the last of April, Observers who watch the Movements of Venus and Mars dur- ing January, will notice that the fairest of the stars overtakes her rnddy rival on the 2d at 7h. 47m. a, m., being at the time 40’ south. As the conjunction takes place in daylight, it is not visible, bt, on the evening of the 2d, Venus will be west of Mars, instead of east, thus proving that it has taken place. The diameter of Venus is gradually increasing. It was 10” in July, when she was in superior conjunc- tion. It will be 20.6, on the 3ist, showing that she is approaching the earth. As the planet comes toward us the illuminated por- tion of her dise lessens, but her increased size more the? compensates for the loss, and her brilliancy increases. Venus sets on the Ist at 7h. 45m.) ™. On the 3ist she sets at 8h. 49m. 1m. P are isevening star. His conjunction with Venus onthe 24 been described. As Mars moves nerthward and eastward during the month, with little change in the time of setting, it would be easy to follow his course if it were not for his increasing distance.

COMPLETE SUCCESS AT BARTLETT SPRINGS, The party from the Lick observatory, in charge of Prof. J. E. Keeler, made a success- ful observation at Bartlett Springs. Prof. Keeler telegraphs that the corona was beauti- fully distinct, and that he saw remarkable changes in the length of the coronal lines. Prof. Barnate obtained nine photographs. Prof. Hill photographed all the contacts and studied the structure of the inner corona. Prof. Senschue made seven measures of light during the totality. : In San Francisco the eclipse was only partial, abont eleven-twelfthsof the sun’s surface being obscured. The weather was perfectly clear and the eclipse was witnessed by a great num- ber of persons, i The weather at Maysville was very clear. The first contact was about 8:30. During the progress of the eclipse the weather became mite cool. Several streaks of lightning were anced during the totality. Prof. E. §. Holden, of Lick observatory, telegraphs that the beginning of the eclipse was successfully observed at that point, and also the last con- tact. At Helena, Mont., a good view of the ecli was obtained. All over the northwest ie webther was most favorable. ~ ee A Live Man in a Trunk. EXPERIENCES OF AN EMBEZZLER WHILE TRYING TO AVOID THE POLICE. A St. Louis special to the Philadelphla Press gives the experience of Thomas W. Vines, who embezzled 34.500 from a manufacturing com- pany in Chicago by which he was employed, and escaped from the city in a big Saratoga trunk, in which holes had been bored to give him air. Vines says: “They banged and slam- med me around in a frightful manner and made existence miserable for me. I was tossed about in all manner of ways. Sometimes I was stand- ingon my head and sometimes on my feet. While the trunk was standing still I was all right. My hands were scratched. My head was bumped and badly bruised. T had taken a bot- tle of water with me and had it in the back ocket of my trousers. A toss of the trunk ion the bottle and the water poured down my neck. The first hundred milesor so in the car I got along nicely and the air was all right. ‘Then it became thick, and after going another 50 or 75 miles I began to kick and yell. I could stand it no longer, and determined to get ont of the trunk at all hazards. The noise attracted the attention of the men in the car, and they pulled out the trunk, which had another tr on top of it, and broke it open.” When discovered Vines told the astonished baggage manipulators that his mame was Burke, and that he took the trunk in order to beat his way. He won the men over, and when the train reached the depot so much sympathy was developed for the poor young man that a ft ption was taken up aud he was presented with 5 and told to get something to eat. At a restaurant he told ‘the waiters he was Tascott, the murderer of Suell, whereupon he was promptly arrested. Vines and the trunk were taken to police headquarters, where a search of both brought to light $3,800. He was identi- tied as Vines by one of the detectives, and then he confessed. se Doctor and Patient. From the January Scribner's, When I consider what the education of a doc- tor entails, what endless study and investiga- ion, what patient labor; when I reflect upon the continual risks that he must have, balanced by continual compassion; when I remember how he is ever contending in # face-to-face and hand-to-hand encounter with disease and death. I think that he should be an industri- ous and thonghtfnl, a brave and noble gentle- man. the invalid he is more. He is the ster m ic of what may be a very ublesome machine. He is the autocrat of table and the lodging. of raiment and ex- ise. His advent is the event of the day. His utterances are oracular, his nod Olympian. His learning is boundless. his wit is irresistible, his goodness not to be disputed. He takes the responsibility of living off shoulders which tremble beneath it, assumes the battle with pain and fights the sick ns 1 for him, He condones the cowardice of shrinking nerves and puts them to sleep. He encourages and stimulates and bolsters the sufferer into shape again There is no relationship on earth like this be- tween doctor and patient. He owns me, owns at least this arm he set when I was a boy. and these lungs whose every wheeze and sputter he recognized as I do the Voice of a familiar ac- quaintance. The mother who bore me has not ‘0 intimate a knowledge of my peculiarities, MY penchants and antipathice: no friend, however faithful, is so tolerant of my faults or has such “an easy way of curingthem. He reconciles me to myself by a quieting powder, and starts me fair with the world once more. Pie Restored to Fashionable Favor. From tne New York Sun. he popularity of pie.” said the head waiter of a crack up-town resturant, “is growing won- derfully. People who think it is not fashiona- ble to eat pie are provincial. Some of the most distinguished club men in town who come here frequently eat apple pie for desert, along with «small jug of cream anda pot of sngar. It makes a much better dish than apple tart, bout which the Englishmen rave so enthusias- tically, The love of pie is more or less in- herent in the American breast, and the French cooks have realized this, so that at present the grade of pie which is turned out by the chefs monico's, the Brunswick, the Hoffman, sey, and several other first-class hotels at credit to the pastry cook's art, Not ‘his, but there are general pie bakeries, h supply all the restaurants of the country great national dish. and they make wh with the . ks in the restaurants themselves.

From Scince, Quicksand is composed chiefly of small par- ticles of mica mixed largely with water. The mica is » smooth that the fragments slip upon each other with the greatest facility, so that any heavy body which displaces them will sink, and continue to sink until a solid bottom is reached. When particles of sand are ragged and angular any weight pressing on them will crowd them together until they are compacted into a solid mass. A sand composed of mica or soapstone, when sufficiently mixed with water, seems incapable of such consolidation. _sasnralbenieton eaataaaesi A Physical Impossibility. From Judge.

Something Wanted to Prevent the Misery of the Maiden and the Paterfamilias. From Peck’s Sun. There is an opening in this country for an inventor who will discover some process by which coal can be put into a furnace or a stove without making such a noise. If a process of muffling coal, so it will slide into the furnace noiselessly, as though it had been greased, could be discovered, it would be a great boon to humanity. When the winter winds are blowing, and the head of the family is seated before the grate, or over a register, with his slippers on, of an evening, enjoying himself, his happiness is rudely dispelled by hearing the man shov- elling coal into the furnace. He feels that every shovelful is a waste, and the noise causes cold chills to go up his spine, and to think how he may have to order coal the next day, when he has not paid for the last load. feels that the manipulator of the fmrnace takes a malicious pleasure in the noise. Great con- sternation is often caused when a young lady has a gentleman caller. All is happiness in the cozy parlor, and he toys with her lil white hand, reaches his arm around her waist, or perhaps holds her on his lap. They dream of a future when they can be with each other constantly. Her rosy face is all smiles, and his rapture is complete. Suddenly, like lightning from a clear sky, comes the ominous sound of the coal shovel below stairs. ‘The furnace door is banged with the shovel and the sound reverberates to every art of the house. The girl turns pale at thought that her father, in his room above, also hears it, and the young man looks at her and feels like throwing water in her face to revive her. The shovel scrapes on the brick floor of the coal-bin, and advertises that the coal is becoming scarce, Then the man throws the coal into the fire-box, and rej the per- formance until the girl is almost wild, and she hears her father walking heavily in his room above, and the young man begins to sit calmly and think. It is a trying moment. There is no other sound that can thus break in upon these young people, and cause such a coldness, The gas meter is ticking more slowly than usual, because the gas is turned low. You can muffle the gas meter, but you cannot muffle the coal shovel. It gets in its work when all other things are still. If there could be some method of treating egg coal 80 that it would be galvanized with cotton bat- ting, and the coal shovel could be made of paper, much suffering would be prevented. If coal could be sold, put up in sacks or car- fridges holding a charge for a furnace, it would be well. But as long as coal is hard, and is sold in bulk, and an iron shovel is used, and an iron furnace is the receptacle, there will be hard feelings. No man can be per- fectly calm and happy when he is liable at any moment to hear the coal rattling into a fur- nace or stove. Nature has made man strong enough to bear sorrow and physical suffering, and it has made him e al to standing the racket when a note he has indorsed for a friend has gone to protest, but it has not provided him with iron nerves that can remain quict when he hears a coal shovel at work, Here is a chance for inventive genius, — set aaa a Trade and Labor. RIVAL ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING SUPPORT FROM MINERS OF THE PITTSBURG DISTRICT. Pittsburg Special to the Philadelphia Press, Just where the coal miners of the Pittsburg district stand to-day in regard to the different organizations is a hard matter to understand. The leaders of both the Knights and of the New Progress union claim that they have the ma- jority. A large number are still unorganized. Inthe river district there miners, some 9,000 at the railroad mines, and 14,000 at the Connellsville coke region, resent time the Progressive Union of miners as ita strongest hold among the railroad miners. Subdivision 6, of National District Assembly, 135, Knights of Labor, has still a considerable hold there, but many of the offi- cials have withdrawn, Atthe convention of both the union and non-union miners of that district held recently in this city it was unani- mously decided to go into the Progressive Union, and it is expected that they will be or- ganized as soon as possible, In the Connellsville region the knights have still a firm hold. National district assembly 11 and subdivision 4 of national district assembly 35, it is claimed, have a membership of about 8,000 of miners and coke-workers, the latter being eligible to membership in ‘the miners’ districts. Several unions of the new order have, however, been formed, and it is rapid! growing in numbers. Subdivision 4, of 135, to which the Monongahela miners belong. is in a bad way. In membership it is said to have fallen off to some 700. A peculiarity about the new Progressive union seems to be that it has drawn with it the majority of the officers of the Knights of Labor, district and subdistricts, This would indicate that it would be buta short time until the men will follow also, A strong attempt will, however, be made to hold district 135 together, and the new master work- man has issued a circular, in which he declares that not one local has withdrawn, rod = Congratulating the National League. IRISH CONFIDENCE UNABATED—DONEGAL PEAS- ANTS PREPARE FOR WAR—~PROSECUTING IRISH MEMBERS. Mr. Donal Sullivan, member of parliament for South Westmeath, at a meeting of the Irish national league in Dublin yesterday, congratu- lated the leaguers on the fact that the year closed with unabated confidence in the cause. ‘The Irish people, he said, had received a new year's gift in the atrocious sentence of Mr. Har- Tington. Mr. Clancy, a member for North Dublin county, referring to the recent order of the land commission regarding an average reduc- tion in judicial rents, denounced it as the most outrageous scandal connected with the adminis- tration of the land act. Peasants in the vicinity of Dunfanaghy and Falcarragh, in county Donegal, have armed themselves, fortified their houses. destroyed bridges, and blocked roads in readiness to re- sist evictions which will be attempted to-day. Mr. John Finucane, nationalist member of parliament for East Limerick, who was charged with inciting tenants to adopt a policy of in- timidation, was found guilty yesterday and sentenced to four months’ imprisonment. Summonses have been served on Mr. Thos, Joseph Condon, member of parliament for Tip- rary, on a charge under the crimes act. e court has found Mr. J, D. Sheehan, mem- ber of parliament for East Kerry, guilty of con- spiracy. Mr. Sheehan has been liberated on condition that he appear for sentence when called upon, a physician certifying that im- prisonment at the present time would endan- ger his life. PTE LE © AE Not What it is Cracked From the New York Tribune. There is a good deal of nonsense in all this talk about the railroad business offering ex- cellent openings for young men in search of an occupation. Said a railroad man of consider- able prominence yesterday: “I don’t know whether to get my son a government office or Jet him go to work for some railroad company. One job is about as bad as the other. Neither offers a very brilliant future. Under the government a young man must look out for achange every four years, He could not expect much more under the average ra management. New directors are always coming into the board, new managers and new superintendents follow them, and each head of a department wants under ‘him men with whom he has worked and is acquainted. The division Sa of a railroad is hardly less dictatorial than a cabinet officer. Asfor the general manager, he lords it, not ae | over his subordinates, but his president as well. No, the railroad business all ht when you own the road and can control it, but tell me how many men in active railroad em- ployment work their way up to the office of presi- mt or Up to Be. The big railroad men of our time worked their way through Wall street, and in my opinion the railroad magnates of the future will oy the same thing.” ————+e0_______ Lost His Life to Save Others.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1889, , 4 MONARCH BLUFFED. King Kalakaua Gets the Worst of a Poker Game. ‘From the Honolulu Begum. Elijah Dumbees, an American, came to Hon- olulu last week on the steamer Sea Gullfrom San Francisco. He registered at the Civilian House, and fora few days has been a familiar figure about town. Yesterday afternoon he dropped in to see the king, as all new-comers are apt to do. King Kalakaua invited the genial American to stay to tea, and Mr. Dum- bees consented. During the meal the Ameri- can told his host the story of a gambling game ‘on board the vessel that brought him to Hono- Inlu, and boasted that he could outplay any man on earth in a game of poker. King Kala- kaua replied that he occasionally indulged in a social game himself, and, when the meal was over, the two adjourned to the throne room, and the a @ menial to bring out @ pack of cards. e Yankee drew forth ahalf dozen gold pieces and made a little pile in frontof him with them. The ki: followed his example, and the chips were divided. Dumbees dealt and Kalakaua changed three cards. The Amer- ican kept his full hand, to the surprise of his opponent. Dumbees bet ablue chip on his hand, and after a little hesitation our great and good ruler advanced its equal and went him five better. Then Dumbees counted out four reds and placed them in the center of the table. His majesty remarked that a bluff didn’t |- go in that part of the world, and pushed out enough to balance his opponent's bet and then doubled the amounton the raise. Dumbees | oe up another hundred better, and the kin; gan to weaken. He called the hands an laid down three kings. Dumbees had a pair of five spots. Kalekaua brushed the chips over to his side of the table and ordered an attendant to bring ina pail of beer. Then the cards were dealt again and the game went on. For an hour the Yankee lost steadily, and then there came a halt. Dumbees had dealt the hand and neither changed acard. The Begum reporter shifted his position in the transom of the door over- looking the game and kept his eye open for fun. The American reached down into his pocket and laid in front of him a small moun- tain of coins and bills. Then he deliberately bet twenty blue chips that his hand was the superior of the two. Our respected monarch thought otherwise, and after a careful inspec- tion of his cards advanced him twenty better. Dumbees advanced him back again, and the king returned the compliment. Then the Yankee counted out every cent he had on the board and placed it in the pot. Kalakaua trembled, but he didn’t want to have it said that an ordinary American citizen could bluff royalty, and he slowly equaled the pile and then doubled it. The pile of chips, coins and bills hid the table from view, but the Yankee never faltered. He went down into his pocket again and counted out a little more money. The king said he had enough, and made his pile equal his opponent's. Then he looked at Dumbees, and that individual laid down a pair of jacks. The king spread his cards on the table, and our reporter heard him mutter gloomily: “Two tens.” The American left for home on this morn- ing’s boat, but the rumored deficiency in the treasury department is in no way connected with the poker game, It was started by a mali- cious person engaged on the editorial staff of the Honolulu Kuki.
