Second South Street Paving-The

The four bells which form one of
the most attractive features of the
great clock which occupies one of the
tower floors in the joint city and
county building. were repeatedly
chimed yesterday and this morning
they will commence their regular peals
as the hands on the ten-foot dials be-
gin their never-ending passage. All of
the connections were made last night
and the expert who has had the con-
struction in hand stated during the
evening that he would set the mechan-
ism in motion this morning, in ample
time to catch the IL o'clock chimes,
which are made up of twenty-eight
strokes on the four bells. The thar
mony is perfect.
This clock, Of which so much has al
ready been said. was put in at con-
tract cost of $4,000 and the makers
guarantee that it will not lose q sec
ond month. It's mechanical power
is furnished by weights and the great
hands are operated by means of adj
justible connecting rods, which will
give, should the building settle any
more, but. not in any way interfere
with the time of the machinery The
bells are hung in the loft overhead and
connected below with wire cables and
the hammers are tripped by means Of
a novel arrangement Of wheels. They
chime every quarter, half three
quarters and on the hour, the most
charming effect being at IL noon and

a Revision Needed.

A lady reporter took a. verbatim re-
port Of the utterances Of Joseph F.
Smith at the Republican meeting in
the Third precinct on Wednesday even
ing. She was not employed by the
Tribune, nor by the Republican COM
mittee which makes the incident to be
recited not alone cheeky, but humor-
Gus also. At the close of the meeting,
the lady was aecosted by the Tribune
editor, who spoke to her as follows:
''You need not make a full report of
my remarks I just stepped i'm to fill
up the gap, you know"
Then Mr.. Crane, chairman of the Re-
publican territorial committee, spoke
to the reporter as follows:
Crane-Will you be able to get
Smiths speech out for tomorrow morn
ing's Tribune?
Reporter (surprisedly)-I think not.
Crane-Thats all right. I've got to
revise it before it is published. There
are things in it that will do US more
harm than good to have published, and
we've got to tone it down.
