Should Carry Bells.

According to aruling of the secretary
of the treasury, vessel cannot be
fined for the failure to have fog-horr
on board in ordinary weather, but
there may be an imposition of a fine if
a bell is not sounded while the vessel
is at anchor in fog. In view of the
many accidents from collisions of late
it would be in the line of enforcing
precaution if all vessels were fined for
not carrying bells.

Guarding Garfleld's Remains.

1t having been asserted by certain
newspapers outside of Cleveland that
! the soldiers on duty at Lake View
cemetery guarding the sacred remains
of the late President were in the habit
Of opening the casket every day,
your correspondent yesterday called
on Lieut.. Burbank, who is at present
in charge, to ascertain if the asser-
tons were correct or false.
at has been stated by newspapers
in Cincinnati and Chicago that the
casket is opened every day by the
guard, who looks at his remains before
making his report" said the reporter.
Eyes, 1 have also seen statements to
that effect" said the lieutenant, "but
there is no truth whatever in it, Here
is an order from the secretary of war,
which says, Until otherwise ordered
by competent authority, no one save
Mrs. Garfield Will be permitted to view
the remains That order is rigidly
enforced, and no one but Mrs. Gar
field is permitted to go inside the
vault. The officer in charge is requir-
ed to make a report every month of
all property in his charge, and he very
naturally desires to know that in men
I'M hn nj IF hn Il inf
in that report there is no possibility
whatever Of there being mistake,
and, feeling so, sometimes looks to sat-
isfy himself but aside from that, as l
have said, no one is permitted to enter
the vault"
"IIas anything been said about dis
continuing the guard? ?" was asked.
"No, think not. The guard will
probably be kept on duty until the
monument is built. At least, sup
pose that is the calculation. The Off
GERS would be glad enough if it were
discontinued, for it is not the most
agreeable duty have performed. The
men are on duty every second day, and
the non-commissiOned officers every
other day, but the officer in charge
must remain here night and day for
a month, when he is relieved. This
is my third month on duty here. The
men are not released at any stated time.
Some of them have been on duty for a
year. 1 don't think the guard is nee
essary now, as two or three policemen
could do the duty by having two on
nights and one on days"
"Do you have many visitors?"
"Oh, yes; we have a good many,
Notwithstanding the cold weather." re-
piled the lieutenant. "People from all
parts Of the country come here. Last
week parties from New Hampshire and
others from Nebraska came to look at
the casket. Visitors now are mostly
people from other places, who stop
over in this city for the purpose of
visiting the tomb. A good many from
the city also drive out now while
sleighing is good. l think there was
a great mistake made" continued the
lieutenant, sin not having contribu-
ton box placed near the vault for the
purpose of receiving subscriptions to
the monument fund. Persons who
cannot afford to give more than TWEEN
ty-6ve or fifty cents, and would not
put their names on list for that
amount, would gladly place it in the
box. There are very few people who
come out here who would not give
something, and it all would amount tC
a surprisingly large amount. - st

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, large proportion of metal II
needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Patent Gold Waaeh Casa this
WASTE is saved, and so1IDrTY and
STRENGTH increased by simple process
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side of plate
of hard nickel composition metal and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs
centers, bezels, etc, are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This Is
the only case made under this process. Each

their way to the Church vestry to improve

satisfaction, no doubts are entert lined but
that this term will be successful one.
