During the night your watch is quiet,
 as it were-that is, it hangs in your vest without motion or touch. If you don't wind it at night, the handspring is then relaxed. instead of being in that condition during the day. By winding 1t in the morning the handspring re- mains close and tight all day. It keeps the movement steady at time when you are handling it, running about the city attending to your daily affairs. A relaxed handspring at this time accounts for fine watches varying slightly. --In- dustrial World.

LETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
The President ON the Principles of the
Democrats Party.


The President ON the Principles of the
Democrats Party.
WAsHINaToN, April 23.-President
Cleveland has forwarded the follow
ing letter to Hon Chauncy z. Black,
president of tie National Association
of Democratic clubs:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
ID. c., April %, 1894.-Dear Sir: / have
carefully read the communication you
lately placed in my hands, setting
forth the future purposes and present
needs of the National Association of
Democratic clubs.
The achievements of this organize
tion should be familiar to all who are
in favor of the continuation of Demo-
cratic supremacy, and should enlist
the encouragement of those who APP
preciate the i'm portance of any effect
i've dissemination of political doctrine.
Your association has done much by
way of educating our people, touching
the particular subjects which are rec
ognized as belonging to the Demo-
cratic faith; but 1t seems to me it's
and demonstration of the truth that
our party is best organized and most
powerful when it strives for princi-
pies instead of spoils, and that it
quickly responds to the stimulus sup
piled by an enlistment in the peoples
cause.
This acknowledgement of true
Democracy suggests that the national
association of Democratic clubs, and
every other Democratic organization,
should labor increasingly and earnest
ly to save the party in its time of
power and responsibility from the
degradation and disgrace of a failure
to redeem the pledges upon which
our fellow countrymen intrusted us
with the control of their government.
All who are charged, on behalf of
the Democratic party, with the re-
demption of these pledges should now
be impressively reminded, that as we
won our way to victory under the ban
ner of tariff reform, so our insistence
upon that principle is the condition of
our retention of the peoples trust;
and that fealty to party Organization
demands the subordination of our in
dividual advantages and wishes, and
the putting aside of ignoble jealousies
and chickering's, when party principles
and party integrity and party exist
ence are at stake.
cheerfully inclose contribution
to the funds necessary to carry on the
good work of your organization, with
a hearty wish for its continued sue
cess and usefulness Yours very
truly, GRovER CLEVELAND.

Three Men Hanged From n Railway
Bridge in Alabama.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 23.--At Tus-
cumbia at midnight Saturday night
Tom Black, John Willis and Tony
Johnson, all negroes, were lynched.
About a week ago these men were ar
rested for the burning of the barns of
Claude King. Their arrest was kept
very quiet, for fear of mob violence.
Late Saturday night masked mob Of
goo men went to the jail and called the
jailer out on a pretext that they had
prisoner. When he came out the mob
took him in hand and carried him some
distance from the place, where he was
compelled TO keep quiet.
They then entered the place fOrci-
bly,, taking the keeps from the jaiIer's
wife, and entering the cells took the
three negroes out and led them to the
Tennessee river bridge, which is in
the corporate limits of the town.
Ropes were placed about each of the
negroes necks, and with the end tied
to the bridge tim bers they were com
PEELED to jump off. The fall broke
their necks, and the bodies, after be-
ing filed, with bullets, were left
dangling where they hung.

the church escaped without injury.
Thirty were taken out dead. Houses
were thrown down in other parts of
the village, and the money loss is
great Some of the villagers are
practically ruined.
At Malesina houses tottered and fell
as though built of cardboard. In this
little village go persons were killed.
In some cases entire families. fathers
mothers and children were taken out

At MARITIME thirty-nine persons were
killed Here, at Proskina, the
parish church was the scene of the

companies, were partially destroyed.
