and its time was the time. But on an evil day
a fraud was practiced upon it by the deception
of man. and since that day no clock in the
halls of Congress has been above the suspicion
of fraud on certain occasions. Until the 4th of
March, 1874, when that clock said it was IL
O'Clock no one dared to doubt it. But on that
day, marking the expiration Of congressional
term. the Senate found itself in an awkward
position. The hands of the clock were close
upon the hour which would decree the death
of that Congress, but the hour had come too
soon and found them not prepared. There was
CONSERVATION and doubt in the minds of the
Senators, and the Congress wanted a
few moments more to live. Just as the

Col. Bassett and whispered something in his

THE POPE AND HYPNOTISM.
Probability That the Catholic Church
Will Condemn the Practice.

Several prominent bishops some time ago,
says cable special Trombone, requested the
pope to express his opinion on the merits and
dement's of hypnotism. The pope in a clear
and interesting communication referred exam
ination of the subject to the Office of the holy
inquisition, requiring it to express its opinion
on the effects of hypnotism on the Catholic con-
science. No full decision has yet been rendered,
but from what the tribunal has already decided,
without going into the scientific and spiritual
istic principles involved. the tribunal will give
as Its opinion that the church should condemn
hypnotism as practiced upon human beings
upon the ground that it disturbs human liberty
and is dangerous in Its effects upon the mental
and physical condition Of the hypnotized sub
iects

Alaska Commissioners Still Waiting.
DR.. a. r. Kolsaat returned to Chicago from
Alaska Thursday night and was at the worlds
fair headquarters yesterday. Mr.. Kolsaat's
trip to the United States largest possession de-
veloped quite q sensation in connection with
the worlds Columbian commission. In con.
versation with Gov. Knapp at Sitka he
learned that when the President of the United
States invited the governors Of all the states
and territories to appoint two citizens, one a
democrat and the other q republican, for the
Office Of national commissioner of the worlds
Columbian exposition, An invitation to
the governor Of Alaska was included. In
response to this invitation Gov. Knapp for.
warded to Washington the names Of Edward
Decor Of Sitka and Judge Williams of
Juneau, Alaska, a. candidates for the place.
The two gentlemen named by Gov. Knapp
have been prepared to start for Chicago

Her Father Threw Him Out Doors But
She at Once Joined Him.

Love laughs at stern parents as we'll as at
locksmiths. For some time William Dickinson,
young man residing in Camden, has been
paying attention to Miss Edith Haines, daugh-
ter OF Farmer Asa Haines Of Hartford, n J..
Finally Dickinson proposed and was accepted,
but when the subject was preached to Farmer
Haines he denounced Dickinson as a dude and
threw him out of the house.
Next morning Miss Edith packed her trunk,
drove to the station and there met her lover.
Both took the next train for Camden, where
they we're married and are awaiting parental
forgiveness, but have heard nothing yet from
Farmer Haines.

THE SENATE CLOCK.

II takes variety Of clocks to keep time for
Congress. Some OF them are old and curious.
some are very rich and ornate. while others
are plain. everyday clocks. The most com
mon committee room clock is the square black
stone, worth from SIS to SIS. but in number
OF the more important committee rooms are
old. ornamental clocks rich with carving or
perhaps surmounted by bronze statuary, often
of highly artistic character. In one Of the
committee rooms there is a clock. on the top of
which reclines in attitude of grace Grecian
goddess foot and half long cast in bronze.
In the room of the committee on ways and
means is quito a handsome clock. surmounted
with bronze figures of astronomical symbolism
Many of these clocks are works Of art, designed
especially for some conspicuous place at the

only ornamentation is q shield surrounded by
a wreath, on the panel of the door and an eagle
perched above the dial. Its principal claim Of
attention from those who do not know its his

age. II is the clock which counted time on our

will be able to earn good dividends there. She
