were present and right royalty were

ness accomplished by the organization
was the adoption of Articles of Incor-
poration under the State laws, and the
perfection of district organization
The fourth district includes Redwood,

their work.
The delegation from Redwood coun-
ty was very small; the Presbyterian
Sunday school of Delhi, and the
Methodist and Presbyterian Sunday
school of this city being the only
schools represented. These delegates
pledged $50 from Redwood county
toward the State fund to be used in
the establishment of new schools and
for other work of the association. We
ask each Sabbath school in the coun-
ty to come forward with their mites
and assist us in raising this sum. Will
the superintendent of Sunday schools
please ascertain as soon as possible
the amount their schools can give and
confer with Mr.. Conway, the county
Sunday school superintendent, the
amount to be paid before the next an

If the Pacific could be laid bare, we
should have most singular spectacle.
There would be o number of mountains
with truncated tops scattered over it,
and those mountains would have an ap-
pearance just the reverse of that pre-
sented by the mountains we see on
shore. You know that the mountains
on the shore are covered with vegeta-
ton at their bases, while their tops are
barren or covered with SNOW; but these
mountains would be perfectly bare at
their bases, and all round their tops
they would be covered with beautiful
vegetation of coral polypes.

The Largest Striking Clock In tho Whole
World.
Between the palace yard at West
minister and the top of the clock tower
which marks the hours for parliament
there are four hundred and twenty
steps.
The clock from which Big Ben strikes
the hour is, according to the Pail Mall
Budget, the largest in the world. Look
ing at the dial from the northern foot
way OF Great George street, or from the
Embankment, it looks as if it's diameter
might be equal TO the space that man
OF medium size could cover with out
stretched arms. This estimate hardly
does the dial justice, for it's diameter is
twenty-three feet. From the ground
the minutes on the dial look like ordi-
nary minutes, and as if they were close
together. AS matter of fact, they are
foot apart The numerals are two
feet long. The minute hand, with the
counterbalance - the heavy end that
projects beyond the center of the dial
is fifteen feet in length. This hand is
SO massive that during a snowstorm
sometimes the clock is retarded. by the
weight of the flakes that alight upon it.
Twenty men. could stand under Big

Lament toweris forty-three steps higher
than Big Ben. The old light was TWEEN
ty-four steps higher still. The new
light is Of two thousand candle-power.
When the light is being fixed two men
stand in the lantern, and they have
plenty of room. This parliament light
is now conspicuous object in London.

Sent 90 jail For Burglary.

Yesterday Edward Colts was arraign-
ed before Justice Gillespy on charge
OF burglary 10 that he had broke open
several freight cars on the "Pewiky"
railroad aud stolen several articles
therefrom. He was sent to jail to an
swer before the grand jury.
The warrant in this case was sworn
ont on Friday by J. w. Love, but the
arrest was not made until yesterday.
The facts are that four cars, Pennsyl-
yaoia car No. 1929, Union Line car
No. 9.274. Pennsylvania car No. 75,437,
and p. C. & st. L car No. $500, had
been broken open while standing upon
a siding. sundry boxes and barrels OF
shoes, caps, canned goods and glass
ware broken open with small steel
crow-bar, and goods to large
amount carried off. In fact, the
cars hads been looted pretty thorough
". and the total amount OF the
loss is not yet known with certainty.
The Dolice were informed Of the matter,
and Officer Lukens, after working on
the case. got clue which led him to
Colts home, above the Top" mill.
There he made a search, which resulted
in finding a small and peculiarly pointed
steel crowbar, the points OF which eX-
actlv fitted into the marks made in the
broken packages ia the cars. A cap
was also found in Colts possession sim
liar to those stolen from the car. Upon
this and other evidence he was arrested,
and after hearing was sent to jail for
the grand jury Of the Criminal Court.
