The face of this watch is precisely the same a.
that OF the gold watch and the movement is pre-
cisely the same. The difference between the
two watches is only in the case. The latter is
OF oxidized silver, acid eaten, very neat and
quaint.
The movement ST these watches is identical, #
Is the quick train, with straight line lever es-
capemenl, with direct acting hand set that
permits accurate setting, and will not alloUth
hands to move out Of position while setting. In
the sweep second movement the
the second hand is ruiz direct from the move
ment train, insuring perfect motion, while the
dial train and hands are run by friction pinion
from sid9 center, This gives all the advsnt-
ages in time keeping qualities of the most deli
cately adjusted and expensive movement.
Each watch is put up in a neat box padded, to
carry it safely through the mails. In the box
are directions for setting the hands and regu-
lating the watch, with the name OF the person
at the factory who tested and packed it.
Orders must give the name, postofice, county

experience much pain at the time, but since
then he has suffered extreme pains less or more

A LONG BRANCH MYSTERY.
The Strange Affair Of q Coach, Two
Men and Two Women.

Cottagers along Cedar avenue above Pond
avenue, Long Branch, were aroused at late
hour Sunday night by woman's shrill shrieks
for the police. They proceeded from two
horse coach being driven along rapidly in the
shadow Of the trees. Suddenly a Handsomely
attired woman jumped from the vehicle and
landed in heap. She lay there moaning for
moment before two gentlemen fastened to
her assistance. The woman was unable to rise
to her feet, and it was believed that her leg
had been broken. She told the gentlemen that
she had been obliged to jump from the coach
to get rid of the advances of one Of the two
men in it. The woman's story was interrupted
by the return of the coach with two men and
another woman in it. They attempted no ex-
PLANTATION OF the occurrence, but lifted the in
jured woman into the vehicle and drove away
just in time to avoid the Intervention of a
policeman. There is no clue to the identity of
the injured woman or her companions. The
coach is thought not to have been a licensed
one. Inquiries among physicians fail to dis
close any information as to the woman, who
must have required surgical treatment

1T is easy to make money in stocks if one

buy at random you are in great danger of los

ali they have to do to get rich is to throw some
money into Wall street. This is great mis-
take.
Most of the ladies who speculate are women

dense with the moisture from the cloud that

such as 10 render fires necessary to prevent the
