can watch, which is made by the cele-
brated Seth Thomas Company. This COM
pany has for many years enjoyed the
distinction of making the very best clocks
in the world. Having all the machinery
for turning out accurate timepieces, they
have applied themselves to the manufacture
Of high-grade watches. Thousands of our
subscribers have wished to buy watches
which will keep the most accurate time,
but they have been kept from doing so by
the high prices of other fine watches, and
for their benefit we have at last succeeded
in getting an option upon some of these
world-renowned watches, and we will sell
the first 600 at such price that every sub
scriber who needs watch may purchase one.
We have decided to do away with all profits
and to offer the watch at the bare cost of
handling The regular list price of this
watch is $3.50; and when the description is
read, subscribers will see why we say so
much about this wonderful bargain. This
watch contains (among many other improve

neutralizes the effects of heat and cold. The

is indestructible, because the pinions
run with unequaled smoothness upon the
polished surface of these valuable stones.
The far-famed "patent safety pinion saves
the watch from harm in many cases where
great damage would otherwise be sustained.
The stem-winding and setting apparatus
are of an approved order, and the watch
may be placed in hunting case whenever
the purchaser so desires.

and the great care bestowed upon them by

We propose to herewith discontinue our
watch called Elgin's Pride" No. 1872, and
to substitute therefor watch made by the
Waltham Company, which we believe will
not be open to the objections which have
been made to the other fancy-dial watch SO
extensively advertised and sold by US. The
hands upon the "Elgin's Pride" were inn
ported, and great difficulty was found in
fitting them to do satisfactory work In
our new watches these difficulties have been
obviated by the genius of American work.
men, who in all cases of competition have
proved their superiority.
The difficulties we encountered in making
up the "Elgin's Pride" have thus been OBJ
waited by the new product Of the American
Waltham Watch Company. The hands and
dial of the new watch are made by the
methods which have proved American me-
chanics famous in this as in all other
branches. In the watches we offer, the
movement, also, is made by the Waltham
Watch Company. This watch will be fur
nished in same fancy engraved case as
"Elgins Pride" The works are jeweled in
all important parts with precious stones, the
regulator is of an improved pattern; the
handspring is made under Logan's great
patents; the dial is handsome beyond our
powers OF description, anu atOgeLher inc
watch looks like 500 time-piece, from
which nobody but an expert can distinguish
it, and that only after most searching ex-
animation. The case is made of solid gold
in two thick plates, stiffened in between
with sheet Of very strong composition
metal. The case guaranteed to wear like
solid gold for Is years. In every way this
watch is bound to prove one of the most

The above cut conveys o good idea Of
one of the great GAR. Watches made
expressly for our subscribers So many have
called for them that we have at last decided
to sell these elegant Watches at so low
price that all veterans may enjoy the pos
session of handsome, durable, and accurate
Waltham and Elgin Watches. The G. A R.
Watch is either Waltham or an Elgin, as
the purchaser may choose. The works are
made from the finest selected material. Each
contains eleven valuable jewels, tempered
steel springs, compromising expansion bal
ance, patent safety pinion, stem-winding
and pendant-setting apparatus, full plate, 3
dust-band that excludes every particle of
dust, quick train, jeweled balance, selected
porcelain dial, and all the latest and greatest
Improvements. The case is made of nickel
silver, a composition just as handsome and
durable as coin silver. The case is dust
proof, and need never be opened, because
the Watch winds by turning the crown
Tor stem and sets by pulling it out till 1t
clicks, then pressing it back into place after
setting, wonderful feature that makes this
Watch unique. On the back of this case
the GA R." badge, the emblem of glorious
service, patient suffering and triumphant
victory, is engraved by hand. As the for
tunate purchaser sees this beautiful reward
of patriotism thought will come to his
mind of the boys in blue who never saw a
GAR" badge, but who gave up their lives
in battle. This watch is well worth double
what we ask for ii, but we have placed the
price so low that all may get it. We will
send it for club of 10 subscribers and S.

Fad For Large Portraits.

The proper caper just ut present Is 10
have ones portrait done in oil, very de-
hghtful caper If one can afford it. It Is
about the costliest fad, however, which
has fastened itself on the money lockers
of the fashionables. Still society, so
called, Is always willing to amuse itself
with fads. None of the fashionable
portrait artists care to devote their. time
to portrait for which they will receive
less than 81 900.
Porter, who 80 e1quisitely painted Mira
Duncan Elliott when she was Miss Salhe
Hargous. has Just completed one Of Mrs.
Abram S. Hewitt. Mrs Theodore Have
meyer caught the craze and has hanging
at the end entrance to the art gallery In
her town house on Madison avenue a
life size portrait Of herself, for which the
is said to have paid the artist, Muller
Vry, over 5000. The same artists poE'
trait of DR.. Depew cost the latter gen.
tleman nearly 81 900. Mrs. Havemeyers
is life size, and the canvas, together with
the frame, covers space fully 10 feet
In width and length.
Mr.. vry Is very shortly to commence
portrait Of Mrs Charles Yerkes, and
apropos of this it Is said that In the lum-
Dor room of her house In Chicago there
Is stored away portrait of this hand
some woman for which she paid the az
tist some $4,000. The story of the pic
ture is similar to that regarding Mrs.
