place between three andfour o'clock
yesterday morning ng and, the

plainly visible to all who took thin
trouble to ariee and watch. it.
The shadow of the earth completely
covered the ]noon, . which was rather
low in the southwestern sky, shortly
before four and it had not passed
fully off when daylight ,came. The
shadow
slowlycrept f
up nom the
lower or southeastern s edge until it
was completely hidden, although the
outline was at all times visible.. It
was an interesting spectacle and well•
worth the losing a couple of hours'
morning nap to see.

PEDESTRIANS HAVE RIGHTS.
Bush -less' men . on the "Midway,"
that imper.•tant part,01 Clinton's busi-
ness section situated, in lsaae street
from the Morrish corner to semis'
blacksmith ' shop, became quite
wrought up last week When a sugges-
tion was made that the point of the
SidewalkprS gp of
o'ectin past the end
the' Sloan' Block: should be cut off and
also the 'jutting_ part of the Walk east
of the Morrish store, where a drink-
ing fountain has been placed'. and a
flower bed has been kept by the Hol-
ticultural Society for some years.
The only idea, of course, for such a
suggestion was to allow more room `
for ears But this would mean com-
pelling pedestrians to walk from the
cornet of the Sloan Block to''the.
Morrish corner, a distance of sortie 100.
feet, in the inidet of rushing' traffic
both ways 'from '.four 'different direc-
tions', or forcing them off the front
street at this point, and after all,
pedestrians have some rights. "The
idea of giving car ,drivers more them
is all rightwithin-reason,"" remarked
eve J. 'A. ford, d, "but they have
plenty of room without that. little
safety zone, which pedestrians -need,
on passing the ,Sloan Block, to see
what tlrey have to contendwith on the
crossing, Car .drivers," .he continued,
"need to be held down A bit some-
times, instead of having , the road
CV yog
cleared f er thlst for their con-
venience."
There is ,a lot in this 'and it ser
tainly would be a great: Mistake' to
laybare all that 'space for roadway.
Aside from the fact that people do
foot need sidewalks those two little
beauty spots are needed, also, to
hrightch up the` centre of the town.
