A WATCH THAT SPEAKS.

4 Geneva matchmaker named Casimir
LiNan has just completed a watch Of
which he is the inventor Instead OF
striking the hours and quarters, IL an
n7unces them by speaking like the
phonograph. The mechanism of the
watch is based on the Photographic
conditions, the bottom Of the case con.
tanning a photographic sensitive plate,
which has received the impression OF
the human voice before being inserted
in the watch. The disk has forty-eight
concentric grooves, OF which twelve re-
peat the hours, twelve those OF the
hours and quarters and twelve more
those of the hours aud and second and
third quarters. II the hand on the dial
shows the time 10 be 1918 O'Clock, one
Of the fine needle points OF the mcchan-
ISM crosses the corresponding groove
and the disk. which turns simultaneous
~, calls out the time, Just as the phono-
grphic cylinder. The lower lid Of the
case is provided with tiny mouth
piece, and when the watch is held to
the ear the sound is all the more plain.

The war was still raging though the
Southern forces were practically beaten
when President LINCOLN wrote the
following in answer to letter from a
friend in Illinois:
Yes, we may congratulate ourselves that
the cruel war is nearing It's close. u has
cost vast amount Of treasure ana blood.
The best blood of the flower OF American
youth has 0een freely offered upon cur
cOuntry's altar that tue nation might live.
IL has indeed been a trying hour for the
Republic; but i see in the near future a
crisis approaching which Unnerves me and
and causes me 70 trem0le for the safety Of
my country.
As q result OF the war, corporations have
been enthroned, and an era OF corruption
in high places viii follow. and the money
power or the country viii attempt 70 pro-
long its reign by working on the preludlces
OF the people until ali wealth is aggregated
lC few hands and the Republic destroyed.
j feel at this moment more anxiety for the
safety OF my country than ever before,
even ia the midst OF war. God grant that
my suspicious may be Eroundless.
Had ABRAHAM LINCOLN been spared
until to-day he would have witnessed in
a quarter Of century Of monopoly
growth something approaching reaii-
cation Of his prophecy. His great,
calm, clear mind foresaw the use 10
which the taxes levied for war purposes
would be put by greedy and selfish cor
porations, which the war left bloated
with wealth. He knew them and fore
saw the influences they would exert TO
retain these war taxes so they might
continue TO fatten OF the people after
the necessity for these taxes has passed.
He would have witnessed, also,
the taxes on wealth diminished and the
taxes OF the peoples necessaries in
creased.
LINCOLN's prophecy Of 80 years ago
comes as a solemn warning to-day.
II he feared the grievous pow
er OF monopoly and wealth
then what would mis- fears be to-day?
They are not yet fully realized and will
not be if the people are true to them
selves. They have placed the Demo
cratic party in power TO right this quar-
ter Of century Of wrong. The duty Of
the party is plain, and it must DO it or

sarcasm In his tone, trusted that Brother
Butterworth would read the entire ar

said that on her return TO Washington

MARTINS FERRY.

A grand sight Of artistic skill was
placed on exhibition at the Opera House
last night by Messrs. Swartz and
Kuckuck. 1t was a scene called the
"nisemba!kment OF the Ark" painted
by Harry Temple, and those that saw
it were delighted. The animals were
painted so life-like that one would
think that they were almost moving,
and the ark on the top OF the mount 10
the far background looked as natural as
painting could make It. This scene is
only one OF fifty that Mr.. Temple was
engaged upon at the time be got into
trouble, and his many friends would
like TO hear OF settlement Of what
looks to be q misunderstanding with all
parties concerned, and see him free
man and given a chance TO finish this
excellent work that he has commenced
in such q mastery way. The work
was seen bY great many Of our people
last evening, and those who failed 70
see it can do so tonight.
William Weaver, colored lad and
Lizzie Zercher, q white woman, who
were arrested 90 the charge Of fornica-
ton, also had hearing and were found
guilty and fined SIS aud costs each.
After the hearing, and before the crowd
left the court room, Weaver smashed
Price Pence, or Shorten Bread" as he
is called, in the jaw for bringing the
charge. and for this offense Mayor KEEL
Ter added another fine Of S25 and sixty
days ia Jail. 1t looked worry much like
a riot when the crowd tried TO escape
when Weaver attacked Pence.
Eddie Fenskie, the sixteen year old
boy. who was arrested by Officer Och
and confessed TO the robbing Of the res
idence OF Henry Burkle, had hearing
before Mayor Keller yesterday and
plead guilty. The Mayor reserved bis

HER EARLY CAREER IN PITT5BURG.
A Cou sin of Miss Pollard Tells of Her Sta
h. SrnnEw CigC.

A Cou sin of Miss Pollard Tells OF Her Stay
IN the smoky City
PITTsBURG, PA, March 19.-Made-
line Pollard who figures as the princl-
pal in the sensational breach of promise
suit against Congressman W. c. z.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, is full
cousin of DR.. ". A. Cowen, Supt. of the
West Penn hospital in this city and Ed
ward Cowen, Of the Pittsburg postoffice.
Speaking OF her to-day perintendent
Cowen said:
Eyes, Matte Pollard, or Madeline, as
she is now called, is a full cousin of
mine, My mother was a sister OF Mr..
Pollard, Mattis's father. In 1876, Mr..
Pollard was delegate from Kentucky
to the Republican National Convention
held at Cincinnati. He took i'll at Gin
cinnati aud returning home, died in the
spring of the same year, 1876. We
were then living in Hardwood and
my mother went TO Kentucky TO
attend her brothers funeral. When
she returned she brought Madeline
with her TO live with US in Pittsburg.
Madeline was then II years OF age, a
mere child you might say. No arrange
nents were made as to how long she
was TO remain with US. She was at our
house constantly from 1876 10 1890
four years-when she returned home.
While in PittSburg, Madeline attended
the public schools OF Hazelwsed. Her
CHARACTER WAS ALWAYS GOOD
while she was here. She was remark
ably bright girl, but we did not notice
anything like a hayward disposition in
her. She was as modest as a child Of
her age could be expected to be. After
she left PlttsburR we corresponded
with her for time, but gradually broke
off, and for years we lost trace Of her.
In fact, when the Breckinridge affair
occurred, did not know that Madeline
Pollard and Matte Pollard were one and
the same person. Not until began to
read her career-the story other family
did I learn that it was she who had
sued Congressman Breckenridge.
mo, / don't think Madeline knew
Breckenridge at that time" DR.. Cowen
concluded. SAT all events we did not
know him, and as / have said, Madeline
was child in short dresses"
Many people in Hardwood remember
Madeline Pollard. Her schoolmates,
now grown to manhood and woman
hood, recall her as a wonderfully clever
girl quick TO learn, pretty, modest and
refined. Supt. LucBey says he has a
faint recollection of the girl and that he
has heard some OF the teachers talking
about her since the Breckenridge affair
became public. he said they all re-
garded her as bright scholar and a
very modest girl.

A pIseaAoEruL sIrUFrION.

The award Of the garbage contract
has not yet been made because Of a
most disgracsiul state Of affairs in
Council.
For the past ten years the city has
pursued the false economical policy Of
selecting the lowest; or a very low bid.
The consequence has been that the
work has not been done because il was
impossible TO do it for the sum. The
contractors have poeketed the city's
money and done about half the work
and snapped their fingers in the face Of
protests.
This year the committee came to its
senses and instead Of accepting the
lowest bid, as usual, recommended a
higher bidder who was known to be
thoroughly honest and capable. Mr..
CARNEY. The committee reported
unanimously in mis- favor. Council,
however, discovered, in the meantime,
that it had some political or personal
eggs 20 FRY, aud Mr.. CARNEY was
turned down.
As it stands the matter is deadlocked,
at least until the next meeting. In the
meantime the weather is growing warm
and the garbage becoming offensive and
rapidly accommodating.
The delay 10 Council, which is caused
solely by petty politics add personal
jealousies is an outrage on the people.
Last nights proceedings we re from be
ginning 70 end a disgraceiul farce in
which the interests Of the city had no
place, whatever Council should wake
I'D to the fact that it owes something
TO the people aud has some public
duties TO perform.

Well, and what if he should? II will

special effect on the currency, beyond

The measure is harmless, though far
from beneficial, and the opposition TO 10

Itself than on the sentiment behind it.

NASHVILLE, TENN, March 19.-The
Hon. w. G. P. Breckenridge delivered a
lecture at the Gospel Tabernacle In this
city on the night of June 3 last for the
benefit OF local charitable institution.
He had been to Lebanon, Tenn, where
he delivered an address to the gradu-
ating class Of Cumberland University,
and gave the lecture here without any
personal remuneration.
At the conclusion Of his address Colo
mel Breckenridge was presented with a
very large and beautiful basket of
flowers. In return for this compliment
be made highly ornate aud touching
speech, taking occasion to say in pa
thetic manner that he had no wife TO
whom he could give them. This cir
cumstance has been wildly recalled By
the revelation that Colonel Breckin-
ridge was secretly married to Mrs. Wing
April 90, 1898, more than a month prior
to tbs date of this apparently unneces-
