How Watch Gases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate Of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels,e 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. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and soliditH while
the ,critten guarantee of the manufacturers
Ea,ranting each case to wear tpenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of

A Coward Seeks a Pension.

At club dinner in New York re-
Gently, an examining surgeon related
the following incident showing how
the arrears act developed pensioners
out of sound and undeserving men.
During the war he was surgeon of an
infantry regiment. When the regi-
ment first went into battle be observed,
sitting behind big tree at a safe dis
.ance from the fighting line, the cap
tain of one of the companies. 9"What
are you doing here, Captain ~ asked
the doctor. II am not feeling well,
replied the officer in doleful voice.
The surgeon was too busy looking af-
ter the wounded to stop and inquire as
to his complaint. A few weeks later
the regiment got under fire, and the
surgeon found the same captain skulk-
ing behind a barn. "l1ello | sick
again p he exclaimed. swell, the fact
is, doctor, I'm not exactly sick. / may
as well own up that I'm a coward
There's no help for it. 1t must be con-
stitutional. Now, doctor, what's the
use of my staying in the army? Won't
you help me get discharge ~ The
surgeon thought he was doing the
country service when, few days af-
terward, he recommended that the
man be discharged on the ground of
general disability. He heard nothing
of the captain until sixteen years later,
when he received letter from the pen
sion office informing him that Captain
Blank had applied for pension from
the date of his muster-out that he, as
surgeon of the regiment, had certified
to the disability, would he kindly in
form the Government As to the nature
of the disease from which the officer
suffered The surgeon replied that
the complaint was chronic and mcura-
BILE cowardicc, not contracted in the
line of his duty, but constitutional. The
captain did not 60 upon the roll, and
his plan for getting some $4,000 for
arrears and $40 a month for the rest
of his life came to grief. How many
schemes no less dishonest have sue
ceeded through the complaisance of
examining surgeons less honest than
the narrator of this incident, could on
! ly be ascertained by thorough over
hauling of the whole pension list and a
denomination of the entire army OF

ST. JOHNS SPEECH.

The Address He Delivered on Being Mott.
fled of His Nomination at Cuba, New
York.
Chairman and Members Of the Committee:
In receiving this formal notice Of my
nomination for the highest Office within
the gift of the people by the National Con.
vention of the Prohibition party, permit
Notwithstanding that the distinction
was neither sought nor desired by me-to
assure you in view of the unanim.
,ty with which it was given, of my
nigh appreciation of the very greal
honor it confers. There are more political
parties in the field to-day than there are po-
litical issues. Upon the great question as
to what should be done with the traffic in
Intoxicating liquors as beverage, thu
Democratic and Republican party are uni
ted in favor of making the traffic perma.
nent, while the Prohibitionists demand,
that it be forever placed under the condem-
nation OF the laws of the land. Thus an
issue is clearly made, and think it safe t.
say the only one to-day that really
reaches the heart and conscience OF
citizens. Upon this issue VT
go to the people, the source of all political
power. Let Us appeal to reason
rather than to prejudice. Let those resort
t. personal abuse and scandal who have
nothing better to uphold their cause
The Prohibition party is not organized az
q mere threat or menace. Its is an out
growth of q rapidly increasing, crystalizeo
sentiment against the great evil of the age,
an evil that the old parties dare noi
attack, but against which this young
party of the people, in defense Of the
nomes of the Nation, has entered upon, 8
warfare that shall never cease so long as the
flag of our country waves its protecting
folds over the legalized dramshops. In this
struggle let us ever remember that we art
accountable to God; that our duty to Him
is paramount to our allegiance to politi.
cal party; that political ties will never in
His sight exercise q ballot for any party
that does not stand up fearlessly tor the
right. The home will have nothing to feal
it the people vote as they pray"

Ex.Gov. st. John, and Mr.. VIM. Daniel,

nomination. The event occurred at place
where great temperance campmeeting is
IN progress.
A House com mittee of the Virginia Leg
islature investigating the failure of the Pc
tersburg hank, in which were deposited the
State funds, found a great deal of loose
methods prevailed; and among those who
made over drafts were Senator Malone, his
son, and Gov. Cameron, all Republican Re-
acjnsters.
The Republicans of Mississippi have
placed four colored men in the field for Con-
gress. The Democrats of the First and Sec
ond Ohio districts have nominated Frank
Follett and A. A. Kraemer, respectively.
The Republicans of the Second Michi q
district put forward Capt. E. P. Allen, of
Ypsilanti. T. B. Ward was nominated by

south of Hunnewell, Kan. Gen. Hatch
on August 9th, ordered us out. I told
him not to bring his soldiers, as we were
willing to go into court to have the ques-
ton settled, and asked him to bring the
matter before the Secretary of War. He
refused, and the next morning six com.

saddle blanket, but Capt. Moore recov.
cred it, and little girl came to US with
the flag wrapped around her and pistol
in her hand. We were taken to Gen.

We were allowed to get out clothing and
furniture, but Mr.. Cooper lost some val

Hatch's camp. agreed to 90 to Fort
Smith or any place designated for trial,
if released and offered to put up 5000
security for keeping my word, but Gen.
Hatch's orders were to take me to Fort
Smith, and he intended doing so. Dep
uty Marshal Williams served the writs
on us and wanted to to take us to Wich-
ita, Kan, for trial. Lieut.. Gardner, who
was in command, refused to turn us over
or recognize the civil authority. About
sixty soldiers guarded us as far as the
Cimarron river. The officers seemed to
fear the cowboys would attempt to assas-
sinate us. Half of the soldiers returned
and the rest are with us. We want to
get our matter before the courts of the
the country, for we believe we have q
right to locate homesteads on these lands,
and intend to keep on trying until the
matter is properly adjudicated.
