A MEMORABLE ECLIPSE.
When the Sun Waa Totally Obacured

that of 1806 is regarded by astrono-

that of Aug. 7, 1800, being the next in
grandeur and interest
The eclipse of 180ft was to be seen
over all parts of North America. For.
tunatcly the day was a remarkably
fine one, scarcely a cloud being visible
in any part of the heavens. The sun's
entire surface was covered at twenty-
seven minute* and thirty second* past

The villagers of Chatham and Co-
burg were four miles apart, and there
had been rivalry between them ever
since they were founded. If one claim-
ed 400 population the other claimed
450. When the one,built a church
building with a spire thirty feet high,
the other built a church building with
the spire seven feet higher.
There was one point which had never
been settled tietween tho towns. This
was the championship checker player.
Sometimes one village held the cham-
pionship for a year or two and then
bad to relinquish it to the other. There
was talk for several years of having
the question permanently settled, but
It hui:g fire until a man named Rob
Wlttlkor moved over to Chatham from
a village forty miles away. He bad
played checkers ever since he was five
years old. At ten ho could beat any
man they could bring against him. At
fifteen ho won the championship of the '
state. But no one in either village '
knew of this. It was given out that. !
he plnyed a pretty good game, and !
when tbe Coburg people heard of It \
they sent to Chicago and hired a man i
to become a resident of the town long
enough to Settle the question of cham-
pionship. Each town made up a purse,
and the victor in the game was to re-
ceive $25.
Ten men went over from Chatham
with their champion, and another ten ,
men met them. The twenty were to ;
see that tbe game was a fair one. It '
was to be tho l>est three games In five
and was played In the town hall.
The game began on Thursday morn-
ing, and that night nobody turned out
to the regular prayer meeting. Tbe
first game lasted all that day and all
that night and was not decided until
Friday noon. The champion of Chat-
ham won It. This fact was telephoned
over to Chatham, and it set tbe vlllago
wild with delight. New wagers were
made. New boasts were made. A lec-
turer was to give a talk Friday night,
but he bad to skip it
The second game lasted through Fri-
day night and all day Saturday. Now
and then tho champions fell asleep for
five minutes, but they were aroused
by the pricks of pins. At 7 o’clock nt '
night the second game was won by the '
Coburg man. This made a game apiece,
and the excitement went up to fever
beat. |
There were two churches In each
village, and the Sunday congregations
counted up about five women apiece.

Evening School*.
Evening schools owe their existence
to the Rev. Thomas Charles, who about
1811 set up one at Bala, Wales, which
proved to be quite successful. In 1839
or 1840 tbe English Bishop Hinds
strongly recommended such schools for
poor adult*, who, on account of en-
forced labor, had no chance to secure
an education. Tho idea was taken in
hand by the British privy council in
18B1, and from that dat£ evening
schools began to be considered seri-
ously. At the present time they arc
numerous throughout Great Britain,
America and many other leading na-
tions. ' i i '»

started out playing again feeling pret-
ty lively. The four churches were
closed Sunday night.
All day Monday passed and that
third game of checkers was not yet
decided. The champions were allowed
a little sleep and given another rub
down, and they got through the night
fairly well. At noon Tuesday old
Ephraim Watkins, eighty-five years,
who was the greatest weather prophet
for fifty miles around, sat on the post-
office steps at Chatham and said to the
dozen men about him:
“Boys, we are going to have a
change of weather within a few hours.
I'll bet my old hat agin a ch^p that
we'll have the ripplnest old thunder-
storm any of you have seen in ten
years.”
"Well, let ’er come,” replied one of
the men. “It wou’t make any differ-
ence to the checker players over at
Coburg.”
"Don't yon be too sure about that,”
piped the old man. “I don't say that
a friendly game of checkers is wicked,
but I do say that keepin’ up a game of
checkers until it interferes with prayer
meetin's and sermons is kinder defyin’
tbe Lord."
In abont two hours a black cloud
arose in the west, and all could see that
a thunderstorm was coming. The lat-
est nows from Coburg was that the
third game was about an even thing so
far and would probably not be decided
before the next morning. Old Ephraim
had come back just as the announce-
ment was mnde, and on hearing it he
exclaimed:
“Tlmt 'ere game of checkers will be
decided within an hour, no matter
what the telephone says.”
He would not say more, though hard
pressed to do SQ,,.,j»nd half an hour
later the first flnsh of lightning and
the first roll of thunder came to an-
nounce a hard storm. It was a hard
one both in Chatham and in Coburg.
The hall where the game was being
played held a big crowd, and the light-
ning picked It out first It struck on
the roof, and most of the boards and
shingles were ripped off, and the bolt
knocked down every man who was on
his feet. Both champion checker play-
ers fell off their chairs unconscious,
and the checkerboard was spilt Into a
dozen pieces. There was a call for ev-
ery doctor In town, and, tbough no one
ivas actually killed, there was a heavy
call for medical services. Such a thing
as going on with tho champion game
was not to be thought of and has not
been thought of since! All took it as a
warning from heaven, and the minis-
ters on the neflr Sunday clinched the
matter by saying if It was not punish-
ment for such dreadful wickedness
why didn’t the llghthing strike one of
the churches or Deacon Bennett’s big
barn?
