A TeIItnle Clock.

Mr.. Macallister McIlheEny took no note
of time. albeit ii was flying by at the rate
of sixty minutes to the hour, and had been
doing so for several hours.
Hence il had come to pass that midnight
was approaching and the woman in the case
was dead tired.
She was a fair young thing, too. and
Macallister McIlhenny should have taken
the house with him. IL he couldn't have left
II earlier.
While thrashing around his intelligence
trying to find something interesting to talk
about further. he observed a peculiar-look
ing clock on n cabinet in the corner. and
he ambled over to IL.
The girls eyes would nave followed him
but they were mot s~omnambulists.
Inspection showed the clock to be only a
very clever imitation in bronze.
"Oh. all" he exclaimed, laughing in
April fool cadences. lit doesn't go, does
it?'
mo" she responded dreamily.
'I never saw one like IT," he went on.
What kind of a clock is it?'
ITS a Macallister McIlhenny,' she said
YEARLY.
And then Mac. took his departure. only
to find that the last car had passed beyond
the scope of his optic apparatus and he was
left to walk home.

One Of the oddities Of life in the Maine
factory villages is the class OF men who
can appropriately be called 'housekeep-
ers." In almost any town where much
manufacturing is done number OF these
men may be found. If one calls soon after
meal time he will be likely TO find them
with aprons on washing dishes. At other
hours they may be seen sweeping up, maxi
ing beds, cleaning and washing the chill
dren, cleaning house or cooking. Whether
any Of them do the family sewing is not
so certain. These men are housekeepers
for the simple reason that their wives can
earn more working in the mill than they
can, and II becomes a matter OF money
saving TO let them Go II. Some Of them
saw and pile the wood in the shed. and
do the chores, and take care of the garden,
and do other mans work around home. as
we'll as the housekeeping, and the arrange
ment seems to be profitable.

OVENS TIE WINNER

BRECKENRIDGE IS DISAPPOINTED.

The CongreRsman's Friends Take Their
 Defeat Manful1y and Say They Will
 Now Cling to Owens-There Are Ru-
 mors of Contest-owens' Plurality
 Placed at 32O.
 LEXINGTON, Sept. l8.-Breclinridge will contest the primaries of Saturday and has already sent letters to the com mitteemen in the eight counties notify ing them of bis purpose BFecbinridge men have 6 majority of the district committee, which Is the returning board, and declares officially who is the nominee on the primary returns. It is claimed by Breckinridge men enough illegal votes were cast Saturday to over. come the plurality of Owens.
 Colonel Barney Tracy, president of the Owens club, claims his man has a clear lead of 400, and he is no way way afraid that Owens will lose the race. The Breckinridge people say Owens lead is barely 150, and that the committee will give them the nomina- ton sure.

Owens the Winner.

LEXINGTON, Sept. i8.-The victors seek to possess the entire field; the van quished accept defeat manfully This conclusion is justified by outside aps pearances here, which began to mani fest themselves Sunday morning. One notable indication was the dofing of Breclinridge badges and donning Ow- ems badges by the most ardent young bloods who supported Breckinridge throughout the campaign with their money and their personal services These men say that they went to the election believing that every voter at the primaries was morally bound to support the nominee. Now that their favorite, for whom they tough. so yali antly aeemg to have suffered defeat, they feel in honor bound to support his oppo- nent. They seem to aequiesee iii the in. eyitable.
 There was a report that Owens, Settle and Breckinridge would each issue q card to the public stating his case. This was on the theory that Breclzinridga was about to contest the election. Breck. inridge absolutely refuses to talk. The most thorough investigation failed to find a shadow of ground for the rumor. Everybody is thoroughly tired of the fierce contest that terminated in the pri- maries. To contest the election would be to prolong that struggle. The prob abilities, therefore. seem to be against the contest.
 The best figures obtained give totals for candidates as follows: Owens, 7990; Breckinridge, 7670; Settle, 3405. Owens plurality 20.
 Corrected returns, which are expected today, will probably vary but little from these figures.

BRECKINR1DGE DEFEAT TED.

A gain the Ashland district of Kentucky has reflected bonor upon its great name, this time by defeat ing w. c. P. Breckinridge for re- nomination for Congress. For the first time in the history of this coun- try public man who has figured so conspicuous1y in a dastard1y sean dal and plead guilty to all charges of immortality, vice and iniquity has dared face his constituents i'm mediately after that scandal and ask fora vindication his conduct by re election to an exalted office of public trust. It were not necessary to say that this celebrated district of Clay, John G. Breckinridge, Black burn, Lindsay and other great men, repudiated this audaeity and affront at the primary last Saturday Breek- inridge, in spite of his eloquenee, magnetism and past public record  of great achievements and honor, was retired from public life forever and told in audible and unmistakable tones that his day of usefulness in a public capacity is at an end The returns show, however. that Mr. Breckinridge3s constituents have not
  forgotten his brilliant and splendid record in Congress, for in spite of his moral depravity, his defeat was secured by only few hundred votes. This election brought to close one of the bitterest, closest and most hody contested campaigns known to Americans. Hon. w c. Owen, the victorious candidate, seems to be a man competent to carry on the work of Breckinridge and fill his place in Congress with as much credit to himself and satis- faction to his constituents and the public in general IS his predecessor in office.

 MONTGOMERY, Ala Sept. 18.-The National Colored Ilaptist convention here unanimously passed the following resolutions:
 Whereas. The negroes of the south are charged by their white neignbors as being possessed of such strong and un- bridled lust as constantly expose the white women of the south to the attacks and abuses of rapists, and
 Whereas, The negroes supposed guilt has caused the white people of certain sections of the country to pour upon such forms of mob violence as is seldom seen in any civilized country; aud
 Whereas, Ne reaLz9 that no crime which can be committed against the virtuous female can impose upon her severer personal less than the crime of rape, and that no crime which may be committed against a state can do more to Hot out the sentiment of love and justice from the hearts of its people and more to undermine the stability and prosperity of the government than the reign Of mobs; therefore be it
 Resolved L That we hate, with all the strength of our Gadfeariag hearts the diaboical crime of rape, whether in black or white, and vow to use all the legal and moral means 1T our command to put down and crush out fine brptish disposition which woala thus fearfully and wantonly trample upon female vir- tue.
 2. That the taking of human life for rape or other crimes without adequate proof of guilt. established py due process of law, is itself crlme, and species Of barbarism and lawlessness which We pray the people of the country no longer to tolerate
 The resolutions thanked Ida B. Wells and others interested ill the work for their course.
