DISTINCTION WITHOUT 4 DIFFERENCE.
The Union of this morning says eve
are told that a proposition has been made
by some of the menscrs of the Moline base
ball club to plae The Wapellos for purse of
five hundred dolla.se The report comes to
US somewhat indefnitehk and we have no
idea that any member OF that club or any of
its friends would seriously entertain such
proposition"
re are told that Mr.. sayles, the captain
of the Moline club, publicly made the prop
osition to bet $500 that his club could beat
the Wapellos. If he did not make the state
ment he can have all the space he wants, in
our paper, to state what he did say. ID.
In order to ascertain how Terribly In
earnest" the Moline club were, gentleman
went to Moline, by authority, taking with
him the stamps to take the bet, or double
the amount. He could find no one who
would risk cent on the result. The friends
of the Wapellos have made no proposition
to bet-they did not think it delicate or gen.
tlemanly to make such proposition to a
defeated club or to its friends. But if the
Moline club or its friends make any such
propositions they will be accepted at once.
The Union then breaches sermon against
betting and upon keeping this game 'sfree
from every semblance of gaming, and not
subject to the immoral surrounding of sa-
looms and billiard halls" and demands that
no step shall be taken which twill gradually
SINK 1t to the level of speculation and
game CT chance-money"
This is all very well-on paper. But does
not the Union know that every club in the
country plays for money? The Wapellos
played for "chance-money" at Peoria, last
summer. The clubs did not put ap the
money-that was done by others, hut t., :
clubs played for it. If they won, it was.' e
if they lost they suffered nothing. .ie'rs

CARD FROM THE
American Watch Company
OF
WALTHA16, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce $4,000 Wat
ches a year, and make and sell not less than one
half of all the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this :: European watches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the result
is of necessity q lack of that uniformity which is
indispensable to correct housekeeping. Both the
eve and the hand Of the most skillful operative
must vary. But it is fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches are the
product Of the cheapest laborof Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Azores, Lepines and
so-cafied Patent Levers-whieh soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their originalprice. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engraves them with any name or brand that
may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE
The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incom-
petent workmen. An the company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carried on under
one roof, and under one skillful and competent
direction But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
arts all mace by the DneSt, the inoet pcf1ect
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one OF the more than
a hundred parts of every watch is made by a ma
chine-that infalhbly reproduees every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make one perfect watch OF one
particular style and then to adjust the hundred
machines necessary to reproduce every part OF
that watch, and it follows that every succeeding
part must be like it.
The conpany respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
A Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than can
he made under the old fashioned handicraft sys-
tenn They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
