y Washington special to tho Coumer-
cial.Gazctie says: P.J. Shelby, who
served ms one of the jurors in the aui-
tcau trial, has become Insane, and will
be conveyed TO an asylum this week.
His insanity has been gradually dovci-
oping ever since the hanging Of Guiteau,
which event seemed to hnvoa power
iul effect on II mind that before that
time had never shown the slightest
symptom OF weakness. Before tho trial
he frequently expressed the greatest
rcpugnancc to serving on jury that
was TO try II man for his life, and after
the trial nc became morbid on the sub
jcct Of being in part responsible for Il
hanging.

THE NEW PATENT
 DUST-PROOF STEM WINDING OPEN FACE CASE
 MANUFACTURED BY THE American Watch Co.,,
 WALTHAM, MASS.

This is formed in solid piece without joint or seam, opening in FRONT oNLY thus avoiding the usual CAP, and securing greater strength and dura bility.
 These Watches are all OPEN FACE. The bezel, into which extra strong crystal is fitted with especial ly prepared waterproof cement, is attached to the case by screw1ng it thereon, and thus forms air tight junction with the body of the case, which is proof against dust and moisture.
 To railroad men, travellers, miners, lumber-men and others who are almost constantly exposed and who have to make frequent reference to the watch, these qualities are of the utmost importance.

 own story:

VALDosTA, GEORGIA, July 20, 1882.
 "I sold one of your Patent Dust Proof Cases about ten months ago, and the other day it back to with the request to make it wind easier. On exami- nation found that the stem rusty, and inquired into the of it. The gentleman stated to that he starting some saw-ogs that had lodged in the bend of the river, when his chain caught in bush and threw his watch into about twelve feet of water, and he was about two hours finding it. When he got it out it running and he thought all right. In about three months he found that te stem was hard to turn and sent it to me-
 can say that the watch is all that the company claims for it, and recommend it to all railroad and mill men. B. w. BENTLEY"

 q wish you would send me spring for the Wm. Ellery Watch. By the way this Ellery is a watch I sold in your Screw Bezel Case to 8 farmer last fall. The first of January he lost the watch in he woods, and found it this week in about one foot of water. It had lain three months and in snow and water, with but slight injury to the watch-only a hair-spring. c. s. RAYMOND"
 The above were very severe tests, and demonstrate beyond doubt that for any reasonable length of time during which a watch might be under water it would receive no injury whatever.
 We make these cases in both gold and silver, and as a Perfectly Dust-PrOOf Stem Wind- ing Watch Case, Challenge the World to Produce Its Equal.

Scene Of the Recent Terrible and Disas-
trous Earthquake.

trous Earthquake.
Ischia is beautiful little island lying
ut the north entrance to the Bay OF
Naples. IL contains some twenty-six
square miles, and its circumference Is
about nineteen miles. The island is of
volcanic origin, like most Others along
the Mediterranean shore. 1t Is noun
famous, Mouat Epomeo rising to n
height Of 1900 feet. This island Is the
highest point on the island, and on its
Summit there are twelve inferior cones,
from each of which the last volcanic
eruption took place in the year 1902.
The soil Is fertile, and the scenery
beautiful, with its variation OF
steep rocks and sloping hills viii
lagos, nesting on their bos-
oms, and brooks running
through the valleys rich with
verdure. All the Southern fruits, corn
and oils are produced in profusion.
Iron and sulphur are the most impor-
tant minerals found there, and bricks,
tiles and pottery are manufactured at
Casamicciola. The chief attraction of
the island is, however, it's thermal
springs of mineral waters, which are
reckoned among the most etlicacious
in Europe. Guests arrive all the year
round to drink tGA battle in its heal
ing waters.
Earthquakes have been its great
scourge, the last preceding one being
that of 1881, which bccasioned great
loss of life and property. The island
is inhabited by about 10000 people,
whose dialect and peculiar cast OF
features distinguish them markedly
from continental Italians. Their chief
pursuit is fishing and farming. The
capital of the island is Ischia, town
of some 6 500 inhabitants. the seat of a
bishop, who lives in an old feudal cas-
tie built some 400 years ago. Other
towns are Forio, Casamicciola Lacco,
Pauga, and Moropano.
The volcanic eruptions on the island
have had much to do in periodically
destroying or retarding its prosperity.
Originally -colonized about 600 b. G.
by Greeks, who came from the then
powerful island kingdom of Euboca, it
was abandoned after severe outbreak.
The some thing happened after a sec
ond colony had been established by
King Hero, of Syracuse. Later on it
was in the hands Of the Neapolians,
! and then again in those of the Romans.
1t was to Isehia that the Emperor
| Augustus banished his favorite
daughter, Julia, when her many inf
delities TO her husband had become a
public scandal in Rome. The fair but
exceedingly amorous Julia knew,
however, how to make Punishment
less irksomeb by INDUCING in the most
horrible orgies. Even at that time
the island WAS famous as n resort for
invalids After the fall of Rome it
passed into and out of the possession OF
the different invaders of Italy. In
1903 it was captured by Charles III, OF
Anjou. the tyrant of Naples, and from
that time forth its fortunes betook as
much of ups and downs as those OF
most of the provinces and islands Of
| Southern Italy.

The Sunday law in NJ. Lonis.

Ihe various police captains filed in
formation Monday morning against
oVi saloon-keepers, eighty-six grocers.
niteef brewers, twelve street car COM
panies, twelve manufacturing estab-
lshments, nine cigar dealers, seven
BARRIERS, seven livery stable keepers,
iive express companies. four
fruit dealers, four confection-
ers, five daily newspapers. two
base bnllparks, one theatre and fifteen
miscellaneous businesses. About half
the warrants against the saloon keen
ers were issued under the Downing
law, the Others being postponed. The
prosecuting attorney says he expects
the 6oO saloon keepers will be de-
prived OF their licenses If convicted,
winch is pretty certain. He expects
also to secure conviction against the
street car companies, newspapers and
others who violate the Sabbath laws.
!t was expected, as 400 saloon
Keepers had solemnly sworn to
keep open in spite of the law, that
there would have been more arrests,
but large majority of them weakened
and had not the saloon-keepers associa-
ton agreed to stand the expenses of
the defense Of those who disobeyed the
law there would not have been 300 sa-
looms open out of $50 in the city.
Altogether. S32 cases were made
against saloon-keepers and Others. The
information was secured by the police
at large, but the warrants were secured
by the sergeants, and i'm this way the
city was still supplied with police
protection.

A large number of the notes of the
Bank OF Tennessee that have been pre-
sented to the funding board at Nash
vile have been found to be bogus and
worthless. The most Of these, says
the Nashville american, were put in
circulation by one r.. Clay Crawford
who was an officer in the federal army
during the war, and took possession of
the effects of the Bank of
Rogersville, branch of the Bank
of Tennessee. Finding there /,
large number of sheets of the notes of
the Bank of Tennessee printed from
the steel plates, but unsigned, he
forged or had forged tn, names OF
some of the officers of the bank to
them, while others were signed with
fictitious names by Crawford's friends.
1t appears he divided these notes up
among his friends, who, with himself,
passed them wherever they could in
Tennessee. For this he was tried
by court martial and oashiered.
