successive terms to the upper house. In

tween Senator Window and his opponents
in the Minnesota legislature, Mr.. Sabin was
an outspoken advocate of the reelection of
Senator Window. The contest dragged
through the month of January, and on the
last day 1t seemed no nearer a close than on
the first day of the balloting. Mr.. Sabin lay
on his bed sick with pneumonia, when Gen.

The best place for clock is in the Chin

its swinging pendulum will never do for a
pocket piece, much less is it fit to take out
riding
A day or two ago Lewiston clock-fxer
called at lady's house on Main street to
get clock. 1t was an ancient timepiece
whose wheels had become dust clogged.
He attempted to take it to the shop in his
arms. It.grew heavy, "Hello," he yelled at
a passing grocery team. The team drew up
and ne boarded it without presenting a
a ticket. The clock was supinely on its
back in the bottom of the grocery team and
it jolted along over the hubby roads. The
team turned off of Main street and went up
a side street. The clock sat up a spasmodic
ringing The clock-fixer looked up at the
grocery man and said, sAin't you going
down town% The grocery man allowed
that he was not going down town because
he was taking orders, and had to call on a
lady at David's Mountain to take an order
for yeast cake and a pound of lard. The
team was on the toughest of the road and
the clock fixer was holding down the face OF
the clock. BE was further from the shop
than when he started, SO he rode to David

revenge in the grocers eye. He whipped

flew out of that clock, and the hands showed

whizzed, and died again. The pace was
kept up to Lisbon street. The mare stopped
running away at Lisbon street. The clock
man alighted at his own store. He still had
the clock left-all there was originally-but
also strangely altered. He collected the
wheels and deposited them in the shop. 1t
cost him ten times the original repairs to fix
the clock. 1t was very unfortunate run

safer and cheaper.

common schools of New England, and went
with his father and mother, when about IL
years old, to Illinois. There he obtained an
academic education, and studied to become
a lawyer, but abandoned this study on &C
count of his health. His father died When
he was quite young, leaving him with a con-
siderable property to care for his mother
and his younger brother, Jay Sabin. While
rowing over the Western country, partly in
search of health, partly in connection with
his business ventures, he came upon the

The Republican Senate caucus yesterday
made party nominations for all the offices of
that body. AS was expected, Senator An
thony of Rhode Island was nominated as
President pro tenn. For Secretary of the
Senate General Arson G. McCook of New
York received the majority of votes on the
first ballot, George G. Gorham receiving 13
in a total of 35. This is happy determine
ton of what had become a serious condition
with respect to party interests. The chief
clerk is new man from Minnesota. The
executive clerk James r. Young of Penn
sylvania, a brother of John Russell Young,
has had long experience in that position.
Southern Republicans were recognized in
the nomination for Sergeant-at-arms. Mr..
Malone attended the caucus and made a
speech supporting Mr.. Gorham, but it was
not offensive in tone. General MeCook has
served several terms in the House. Such a
choice is an excellent outcome of the en-
barrassment circumstances had forced.

What Governors Cost.

The Two highest salaried governors of the
States are those OF New York and Pennsyl-
vania, who receive 10000 year each. The
next highest are those of California, Nevada
and Illinois, who get $4,000 eacn. The gov
ernors of Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky,
Missouri, New Jersey, Virginia and Wiscon-
sin are paid $4,000 each. Most of the other
governors are paid from $500 to $4,000,
which latter figure is the pay allowed by the
great State of Ohio. Most of the Southern
States pay $4,000 and $4,000. The lowest
salaries paid are to the governors of Yer
mont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and
Michigan, who receive but $1,000 EACH

that Minister Lowell has violated the Con-

Hon. John M. Forbes would have been
