Worlds Fair buildings. 1t was not
found possible to take all the Guard

The Third regiment will go into camp

call for plenty Of hard leg work.
1t is understood that the Third and

Ave or more turns to the spring was severed
and the breaks were in straight line from
the center to the circumference of the
spring.
Every matchmaker in New York had
an experience similar to my own last spring.
We have often compared notes, but we have
been unable to account for the epidemics.
except upon the hypothesis that atmospheric
conditions are the cause What those con-
6tions are remains to be determined. 1t
has been asserted that when the northern
lights are the brightest mainsprings are
most apt to snap. You probably remember
that in February the aurora bOrealis was
phenomenally brilliant. and yet during that
period no watch with a broken handspring
was brought to me. l can't account for the
phenomenon, and l don't believe there is
matchmaker in New York who knows more
about it than l do.
"Now let me say few words as a sort OF
finale. The best as well as the cheapest
watch movements in the world are made in
America. It's all well enough TO talk about
Swiss watches, but let me tell you that in
point Of accurate time-keeping there never
has been made $500 Swiss watch that was
a whit superior to a $25 watch in America.
buy American watches with American
movements Wind your watch regularly,
regulate it, study its moods in both hot and
cold weather, keep the inner case closed,
get it demaRnetized, and don't call a watch
maker a robber when he tells you that the
handspring of your watch needs renewal"

EXPENSIVE WHIPS.
W. II. Vanderblt's Cost Thousands

W. H. vanderbflt's Cost Thousands
of Dollars and is a Work of Art.
From the Jetoeuers' RevietO.
The Vanderbilt family owns a valuable
whip. 1t was presented to the late w. II.
Vanderbilt by the jackson & Wooden Car
Company Of Berwick, Pa. The design was
made be Fritz Kaldenburg, the sculptor, at
a cost Of $4,000. The whip and ivory stock,
before any carving was done, cost $500. Il
was several feet long. Above the stock the
whip was made Of solid whaleboue, then
worth So per pound now scarce at $40
Over this solid whalebone was the fines.
broding Of split tapered whalebone ever a t.
tempted. The braiding of the whip and the
making OF the snapper occupied one whole
month. The case for the whip cost $780,
The handle Of the whip was Of the purest
ivory, 21 inces long and Ia inches thick at
the butt end, which is an ornamental capt.
tai, from which floral pattern emanates,
emblematic of power, truth and perpetu-
ity, which encircles four panels. In each
panel is a wonderful piece of carving-on
one side a locomotive and a train of cars
ON the other a steamboat, symboliziug the
foundation of Cornelius Nanderbilt's great
achievements. On the third and fourth
panels are the achievements of w. II. Van
derbilts genius, the Grand Central railroad
depot on one, and on the other himself In a
buggy driving his celebrated last horse on
the road On the end of the handle are two
portrait busts in high relief OF Cornelius and
W. h. Vanderbilt, father and son. This
whip is sacredly kept in "a glass case among
the art treasures of the Vanderbilt gallery
and in future generations will be treasured
as work of art, even though it is only a
whip.
Jim Fisk had a driving whip covered
with silk thread, heavy carved ivory handle,
handsomely engraved, gold mountings. with
the owners name in diamonds. The whip,
with its velvet-lined case, cost 5000. w. X.
Vanderbilt has fine whip costing $3.50.
Jay Gould has a whip msds for him
twenty years ago at a cost of 500. He has
had it repaired only once.
Mr.. Hammond Of the Murray Hill hotel,
New York, has whip worth SIS, and
Harry Hill, the famous New Yorker, had
one worth $50.
The Hon. Arthur Seidler of Morristown,
N. j., has an ivory handled whip, beauti-
fully mounted in silver. On the ivory is
carved his monogram. The whip cost sew
eral hundred dollars.
The late Theodore Stewart of New York
hal whip which cost him $500.
Pierre Lorillard of New York had q fine
whip with handle Of ivory, richly carved
and encircled by twininR leaves of Tobacco.
l. was presented to Mr.. Lorillard by friends,
and is valued at $500.
1t is quite a fad with ladies who ride to
have couple of fine gold-mounsed whips,

a Vigorous Protest Against 1t by the
People of the County.
JossELYS, GA. July 15.-The people Of
Liberty county are protesting vigorously
against the new road law. The law was
read at Josselyn last night. 1t was the
first time the people here had ever heard OF
it. The action of the grand jury was Sc
verelY criticised tor recommending it and
the administration OF the county commits
sioners condemned.
w. B. Way and others are here In the de-
tense of the people They say that the
whole county is in an uproar about il and
that most all Of the best people are protest.
ing against 1t.
Mr.. Way says there are II men canvass
ing the county ascertsining the names Of
those who denounce the law. BY Saturi ay
there will be about 900 or !, 200 signers
against it. About 100 in Josselyn signed the
protest against it last night. Perhaps there
are more here who will sign to-day Six
of the "A men OF the grand jury that recon-
mended the law have protested against il.
Some of them have just heard OF it. IL has
been kept in the dark 80 far as they are con-
cerned. The matter has spread like Wild
fire. The whole county. 1t seems, was kept
10 the dark with regard to it up to four days
ago, but it has gone to all parts Of the
county in the four days.
Should the county commissioners refuse
TO listen to the protests of the people 1t lie
feared there will be some trouble.

disastrous, but beyond expectations. With
a decrease Of only 6 per cent. the wheat
yield would be far beyond the quantity con-
sumed and exported in any year except last
and nearly equal to last years consumption
and exports. The cotton report shows
condition only per cent. below last year,
and on any estimate Of the acreage the

THE IRON MARKET.
Eat Pittsburg the iron mills generally are
closed. The output Of pig iron July was

iessened consumption still more, 80 that the
reported stocks unsold largely increased in
June. exceeding 100000 tons. Pig iron

prices. The closing of many mills has
greatly increased the immediate demand
for finished products, aud prices are
stronger, though contracts for future de-
livery are at the old prices, and for beams

Struck by Lighting

DURING the rain II Sunday evening
the most of the heavy artillery of the
clouds was fired off 10 the south and
west OF this town rather than TO the
nOrthward, but there was one heavy
crash, the descending bolt Of lightning
taking effect on large oak Tree in the
yard of Michael Blendt, near Walkers
School House, shivering where it
struck and stripping the bark to the
ground, tearing up the earth where it
entered. 1t was during the third
shower which was very much the heav-
ier of the three in electricity and rain
fall. The family had just retired, and
as the tree stood Ohly few feet from
the house, such visitor wasn't calcu-
lated to sOOlh them to sleep speedily.
During the first shower about 7
O'Clock, the dwelling occupied by John
7. Carey, on the farm of John Heitshu.
near Cheswold, was struck, making
hole in the roof and tearing off a por-
tlon of the plastering below. Forum
ately, it was not set on fire, nor any of
the family killed. 1t was insured in
the Fire Association, of Philadelphia.
w. .. HOtleoker, the agent, went out
the next day to estimate the damages.
which were slight.
During the nine o'clock storm which
was the one severely felt here, Howard.
son OF J. W. Jones, ives sitting at the
window, looking out, when the heavi-
est crash came. The lightning appar-
emily played all around him, leaving
him in daZed state. He seems to
have absorbed part of the electrical
fluid, as his father, in taking hold of
his hand, says he received portion OF
the shock, as was also the case with his
mother, viz: there was that pricking
sensation in the hand, such as is felt on
taking hold of the poles of charged
battery. There was no evidence of its
striking in the imm edAte vicinity.
At the Clayton railroad office opera
tor Webb was the only one at the
the table. He did not think of putting
on the ground wire to take the elec.
tricily to mother earth, aud when the
popping and cracking like pistols be.
gan among the machines, he put q
wall between them and himself by get.
ting out in the hall. Fortunately, nc
more serious result followed than
burning and damaging one of the
switch boards.
The dwelling Of John Hutchison,
near Blanco, was struck, the lightning
going through the roof, tearing one or
two rafters clear out, tearing up the floor.
! ing and taking out whole window in
its exit at the side OF the house. Mr.
BOggs, the tenant, declares that the
nail was taken off the toe of his little
child, but otherwise the family escaped
without anything greater than the
shock.
