to a reporter Of the REPUBLICAN, last night
that the strike, as far as the mechanics Of

working nine hours, and that in few days
all now out would be working the same

now needed In every branch Of trade could
get employment by working nine hours, as
agreed upon by the compromise.

In July last Lieutenant Palat, French
cavalry officer in Algiers, petitioned the
home Government for permission to
cross the Sahara desert from Algeria to
Timbuctoo, aud thence journey down
the Niger to the French military posts.
Everybody knew that the mission he
wished to undertake was full of peril, but
the Governernment was so favorably
impressed by his enthusiasm and intelli-
gence, and his reputation as brave
officer, that his request was finally grant
ed. The poor fellow did not live to re-
alize this dream Of brilliant and honorable
achievement. A three-line despatch in
London newspapers says that Lieutenant
Palat has been assasSinated by the
Touraregs, near Insalah, about halfway
from AlgierS to Timbuctoo.

ufe IN the country. The walls are made
OF concrete of coquina and sand, which
forms an artificial stone that is fre-proof
fat-proof, damp-proof and vermin-proof.
Inc proportions are generally low, the
structure being spread out, four stories
IN height, with bright-red overhanging
tile roof. The whole edihce has a thous-
and things upon which to catch a fancy.
There are balconies, loggias and curious
roots. One of the many features sug-
gestlve OF the East is the garden on the
root OF the main edifce. A trellis-work
covered with vines will shade this prom
enade, which is situated seventy feet
above the level of the ground, and which
makes a beautiful connection between
the rotunda and the two towers. The
building proper is around court TO
feet square, the main portion being in the
rear, with its central dome at each end,
the two wings, east and west, forming
the sides of the court, while along the
front an ornate arcade unites the two
wings, thus making complete the en-
closure. This rotunda is ffty-four feet
by eighty feet, and is four stories high.
In the centre is a row of columns sup
porting the balconies on the four stories.
These will be finished in oak. The par
lor, instead of being one large, inhospi-
table room, is divided into sections by
the supports of the floors above. The
dome is to be frescoed to represent
subject connected with the history of
Saint Augustine.

The sablier (sand-glass) by some au-
thorities is said to have been invented in
France shortly before the accession of
Charlemagne by the man who re-invent-
ed the blowing Of glass after the secret
had been lost for years. He was a monk
of Charities named Luitprand, and the
sand-glass he made was the exact proto-
type of all those that have been made
since. It consisted of two pear-shaped
receptacles Joined by their slender ends.
When the sand had all run from one to
the other, the lower glass was turned
uppermost and kept in that position till
empty. Charlemagne caused a mon
strous sablier to be made with to horal
divisions marked on the outside by thin
lines of red paint, This was the first
hour-glass. 1t required to be turned
over only once in twelve hours, and it
kept time with as much precision as the
best of lever clocks. Other authorities
state that hour-glaSses were invented at
Alexandria about the middle of the third
century. Many people consider the
glass the best timekeeper ever invented.
Early in the sixteenth century they were
introduced into churches to regulate the
length of sermons, very elaborate stands
being sometimes erected for them.

Thursday afternoon, when the enter
.,;oment in aid of the Bartholdi Statue
Find was given, and not the least pleas
aft feature of the occasion was the dis
NAV of fresh spring costumes.
Among the costumes conspicuous for
opiet elegance was that OF one of the
notronesses of the entertainment. A
short robe of black faille with tiny foot
rnae formed the border of the skirt.
Across the front were several founces of
genuine old Chantilly of pattern long
since lost; panels Of the lace fell in cas-
cades at either side and formed a veil
over the boufant back drapery of faille.
The high corsage of faille was finished
with a double cascade of lace falling
from the throat to the point OF the bodice
an intricate shell border Of the lace
formed full fraise about the neck and
the sleeves, which reached to the mid
arm below the elbow; a few fine Jets
sparkled amid the meshes and relieved
the severity of the elegant capote, or
close bonnet, which was also of lace
with a half-Coronet of crushed flowers.
A Co-Worker wore a short black robe
Of satln-faced, fine grain under an
eaborately draped princess polonaise of
Maltese lace of a rare pattern, each
tSure of the design defined by hand
applied tracery of fine faceted flat jet.
A deep fiounce OF Maltese edging adorn-
ed the front edges Of the polonaise,
winch opened in Pompadour form over
a lace-draped tunic. A close under
oodlce OF gros-grain formed the founda-
u0n OF the corsage. The sleeve were
simply of the lace, which fitted to the
arm from shoulder to elbow, where they
opened in wide, graceful curve, plen-
uluIly garnished with Maltese edging.

went into Office he Immediately ordered
all cattle to be removed som the reserva-
ton, and that this order was interpret ed
by the ranChmen as a hint that they must
purchase permits, which they found no
difficulty in doing.
1t is strange that this matter has not
been sooner made public, but the fact
that the press of the Yellowstone valley
is afraid to antagOnize the great cattle
firms, whose influence is predominant in
that section, has something to do with the
suppress sion OF the facts, undoubtedly.
Now that the facts have been brought to
the public notice, there is no excuse for
permitting the abuse to continue longer.
Let the matter be Investigated and if the
facts prove as stated, Mr. Williamson
should be removed and man put in his
place who will see that the nations wards
have justice done them. and that their
rights and privileges are respected by the
citizens of the Yellowstone valley.
