TlFFANY''s BIG CLOCK.
1t Stopped the Hour OF President
Lincoln's Death. and Has an In

1t Stopped the Hour OF President
Lincoln's Death. and Has an In
terestIng History.
Probably not one in a thousand of
the multitude who daily look up at
Tiffany's big clock on the front of
their massive fireproof building on
Union square, New York, and set
their timepieces to correspond, has
any idea of it's interesting history,
that it has marked the various
stages of the progress of this remark
ably successful house and also be-
came famous at the time of President
Lincoln's assassination, when his
hands stopped at the very hour of his
death, writes Geo. F. Heydt.
In talk with Mr.. Tiffany, the
well-preserved octogenarian and
active head of the great jewerly house,
the writer learned that the clock was
constructed for the firm long before
the war, in fact nearly forty years ago,
when the firm WAS yet in the infancy
OF its business career and made their
bold move uptown from No. 271 to
$50 Broadway. 1t was when the
building which still stands was erect
ed on that site that the famous
clock, so closely associated with the
Tiffany fortunes, was first put
up.
The clock is mounted on wooden
figure OF herculean proportions, repre-
senting Atlas unfolding the world
upon his shoulders; it was carved for
them by q well-known firm of Ameri-
can ship-builders, who at that time
became renowned for their superior
modelling OF figures and fgure-heads,
such as were used in ornamenting the
bows OF vessels. The figure itself
stands nearly feet high, while the
circular space behind the dial of the
clock, above the figure, is almost large
enough for the man who cleans the
dial to stand up erect inside. 1t was
while at $50 Broadway that. by g.
strange coincidence, it recorded one of
the saddest events of the history of
the country; for, without warning,
and without any apparent cause, the
hands stopped at the hour of Presi-
dent Lincolns death-at 1922 on the
morning OF April Is, 1865.
After the firm became settled in
their handsome new building on
Union square, over twenty years ago,
the clock was mounted in it's present
position, where it continues to mark
the time of the day, after forty years
of service, almost as accurately as the
chronometers in the watch depart
ment on the ground floor.
The clock stands on the second floor
of the building, fitted into the center
window on the outside. The works
were made in Tiffany & Co.'s own
clock shop, and are not behind the
dial, as is supposed, but in u glass
case on the floor above, and are so
constructed that several clocks can
be run in different parts of the build
ing, all by the same movement. Alto:
gether it is all unique piece of mechan-
ism, with a history as interesting as
the famous firm whose bnilding it
adorns.

WILL NOT LEAVE LOUISIANA,
What President Conrad Has to Say
About the Big Lottery.

About the Big Lottery.
New ORLEANS, Sep. 49, President Paul
Conrad OF the Louisiana Lottery Company
was interviewed to-day about the dispatch
regarding the company's attempt to pur-
chase location in the Sandwich Islands.
He said: ut is fake sensation pure and
simple. or malicious connection, designed
perhaps. to prejudice the company in the
minds of the people of the United States by
creating the impression that our business is
to be removed from the legal restrictions
and accountability it is now under by viz
tue of the laws of Louisiana. Were the
Louisiana State Lottery Company. to be-
concern, of course it would be practically
an impossibility to enforce claims against
it; whereas, being duly chartered corpor-
alton of this State, it is amenable to the
laws. Obligations can be enforced through
the courts against it the same as against any
lawful and responsible company"
But what are the comrany's plans for
the future? Might not their negotiations be
carried OH without your knowledge"
Scarcely such vast sums as are talked ofare
not carried in ones vest pocket nor expend-s
ed by one member OF concern without
consulting his associates. The owners of
the Louisiana Lottery are now scattered
oyer the globe seeking peace or pleasure,
according to their condition or Taste. Mr..
Morris, with friends, have been Tor weeks
cruising about Oh his watch, and doubt If
any one has communicated with him on
business of any description. Certainly he
is not giving himself any concern about
lottery business, and Irepeat there is SIM
ply nothing in this alleged San Francisco
story except idle gossip so far as know,
and l think / know all the facts. The.
Louisiana Lottery Company will live out
its allotted time as fixed by its vested rights,
say a couple OF years longer, doing its
business here as it always has and abiding
by the popular decision in the recant con-
test. "--Associate Dispatch to n. X. Nnls

MR. UNDERHILL,S EXCAVATIONS
A Large Audience at the Church of the Redeemer - Miss Carpenters Brilliant Debut.


 A Large Audience at the Church oi
 the Redeemer - Miss Carpenters
 Brilliant Debut.
 A large audience was present at the Church of the Redeemer last night and listened to a delightful entertainment by MT. Underhill, assisted by several of the best local soloists. The entertainment was for the benefit of the fresh air fund. The noticeable thing about MT. Underhill is his wide dramatic range. The first number was ''My Double, and How He Undid Me" which MT. Underhill has made famous. In. the adaptation of General McCollum's delightful lyric, "The Water Mill," and German dialect, in Burns' sturdy "A Mans Man for 8 that, ," and in "Lord Dundreary" he outdid himself. His selection from Howells' farce, "The Sleep ing Car," Is 8 new one, and was perhaps the best one of the evening.
 Miss Grace Carpenter appeared for the first time last night prominently as solo, ist, and fulfilled the high expectations in her that had been aroused. She has a beautiful voice of sweetness and of match less purity. It is to be hoped that Miss Carpenter will, in the future, be often heard at concerts in this city.
 MT. Green, the tenor soloist, was in ex- cellent voice, and, as always, was heartily received
