Making Watches.

Defective Watch Cases are one of
the chief causes of so many watches
not being good time pieces. The cas-
es being thin and not fitting well,
admit dust and dirt to the movement,
which soon interferes with the run
ming parts of the watch necessitating
cleaning, repairing, &C., and the
amount thus paid out if applied to-
ward buying good case in the be-
ginning, would have saved all this
trouble and expense. We have re-

Under the head of "adyertising
SORROW" a valued exchange has an
aaticle that contains a mighty sight
of closely tied up packages of COM
mon sense. Regarding the dress of
those "left behind" it says:
A black garment may be very
proper and correct style of dress for
the bereaved. We can well under
stand that the feelings and taste
would suggest such a style for such
circumstances. but when it is. put on
in such pr0fuSion and eXclusiYeness
as to attract attention, it can have no
other intelligent motive than an at
tempt to advertise ones sorrow.
To say the least of il. it is loud.
1t does not compOrt with the best
taste. 1t would not naturally COM
port with a condition of sincere sor-
row. True sorrow does not seek to
advertise itself in that way. 1t
prefers cOncealment. Itprefers to be
shielded from the rude gaze of the
world, rather than TO attract atten-
tion by conspicuous wardrobe got

CelluIOid.

Celluloid is a composition of fine
tissue paper and camphor, treated
with chemicals by patented process.
A rather common impression that it
contains gun-cotton is said to be a
mistake. 1t is claimed that it is nom
explosive, but from accidents which
have occurred it seems to be at least
highly infiamable. When crude, it
looks like transparent gum and its
color is light yellow-brown. 1t can
be made as hard as ivory. and can be
moulded into any form. With equal
ease it can be colored in any tint de-
sired. the dye running through the
entire substance and being therefore
ineffaceable.
Celluloid has made g g.eat inroads on
the business OF the ivory manufact-
urers.: Its makers assert that in DUR
ability II is much superior to ivory.
as it Sustains hard knocks without in
jury and is not discolored by age or
use. Great quantities are used for
piano-keys. Billiard balls are made
of celluloid at half the price of ivory
and are more durable and equal elias
tic.
Large amounts are used for combs
of every variety, for the backs of
brushes and hand mirrors, and for all
kinds of toilet articles fol which ivo-
ry has been employed. Among
many other articles in which cellu-
loid takes the place of ivory or india
rubber, are whip cane and umbrella
handles, every kind otharness trim
mings, foot rules, chessmen and the
handles of knives and forks.
The freedom of ceIluloid from sui
phur and the natural flesh-color
which can be impaired to it, have
caused it to be extensively substitu-
ted for india rubber in the manulac
of dental blanks, or the gums and
other attachments of artificial teeth
and il, superior for pencil cases, jew.
elry, etc., where gold mountings are
used, as it does not tarnish the met

RECKLESS DRYING.

Stampede Created on Third Street, for
Which Judge Brill Imposes a Fine OF
$25.
There were two cases of reckless driving in
the municipal court yesterday. One was that
of William Vanderlin. farmer, who drove
into and overturned the buggy of Mail Car
rer Hoffman, breaking the buggy and injur-
ing Mr.. Hoffman, on Sixth street Thursday
night. Mr.. Vanderlin produced evidence to
show the collision was no fault of his, but
due entirely to the dense darkness, and he
was discharged.
The other case was that of Nick Jundman,
driver of one of Stahlman's beer wagons
Abour o'clock Jundman was seen by Officer
Dowlan driving down Wabashaw street at
very fast gait. Opposite the postoface he col
lided with a wagon drawn by one horse, badly
wrecking the wagon and throwing the driver
out. Officer Dowlan called to Jundman to
stop, but instead he put the whip to the horses,
urging them into run. The officer started
in pursuit, but the driver kept his team going,
up Third street, narrowly missing
several carriages in which were ladies, and
creating regular stampede. Jundman was
finally overtaken by the officer and arrested in
his employers stable, and after spending the
night in the lookup was taken before Judge
Brill yesterday morning and fined S25.

Mere Technical Offence

Or Is He Being MaIiciousiy Pursued Upon
Mere Technical Offence
Wednesday last John Jeffrey, sheriff of
Marquette, Mich, arrived in st. Paul with
papers for the arrest of one Nelson Bison, an
alleged fugitive from justice from the locality
above mentioned. Thursday forenoon the
requisition for Bison was granted by the
governor, when a warrant was Immediately
laced IN the hands of Deputy Sheriff Har-
rison and Detective Bresette, who soon ar.
rested Bison at his residence, the Chippewa
house, Robert street, and lodged him in jail
Upon being arrested Bison asked for the SER
vices of q lawyer, and in due time w. w.
Erwin responded, who, upon learning
Blsson's story, instituted proceedings
to secure his release upon a writ
of habeas corpus, and yester-
day evening, just before the adjournment of
the district court, the papers in the case were
filed with Judge Wilkin, who fixed 10 o'clock
this morning as the hour for hearing the
argument.
It appears that Bison, through losses sus-
tanned, defaulted in a certain contract, soon
after which he left Michigan, gong to Colo
RADIO. After short stay in Colorado he left
there aud came to st. Paul, arriving here in
June last. Soon after his arrival here he was
joined by two brothers, the three uniting in
the purchase of the Chippewa house, which
they have since conducted successfully. Bis
son claims that he left Michigan without any
attempt to cover up his Intentions, that he
kept friends in Michigan fully advised of his
and has in no way placed himself
IN position to be treated as a fugitive from
justice. The true inwardness of the affair will
be brought out before Judge Wilkin this
morning.
