than you have been used to paying for
inferior work right along.
AS matter of fact, the ExPERT( p who
cleans your watch with pair of bellows
and a crow-bar for so cents makes more
money than the honest workman who
does an honest job and charges an
honest price.
Because your watch is returned to you
running fairly we'll, it is no criterion that
it has been properly repaired. The great
annoyance attendant upon the repair
ing of a watch, is that SO out of SO cannot
tell if the work is we'll done-but are
satisfied if the watch is keeping some
where near the correct time.
Who can see the jewel protruding half
way out of the plate, or worse, sunk down
through the plate, fastened in with
little glue, or hammered in with sledge.
How often the EXPERT grinds off the
broken staff. sinks the jewel a. little
lower, tells you he has put in a new
staf and charges you little less than
the price and you go on your way rejoic-
ing. But some day you will discover the
fraud, such work cannot last long. It is
dear at any price, which you soon die
cover to your sorrow.
Moral: Make no mistake; take it

OVER 300 lives lost through
criminal neglect is the terrible
verdict which later reports give In
connection with the loss of the
steamer Elbe. Although no de-
finite charge has been made, the
fact has not been disputed that Off
GERS of the steamer Crathie knew
the course of the Elbe, saw the
signals of the steamer that clearly
had the right of way, and, after
making the breach in the hull,
drew away slightly damaged, the
captain giving the lame excuse
that he Thought the Elbe had
proceeded" Indignation through
out Europe is outspoken. Emperor
William, of Germany, sent tele-
gram to the German Consul at
London expressing amazement and
displeasure that only one woman
was rescued from the sinking
steamer. The correspondents of
Germany and London state that
while it is not possible to place the
responsibility of the disaster de-
finitely, twill lead to the adoption
Of more stringent international
regulations in the navigation of
the English Channel and the North
Sea. Steamers Of the Crathie type
are q constant menace to the ship
ping in these waters, often running
with criminal neglect of the most
ordinary precautions.

SITUATION IN ARMENIA.

The Armenian atrocities which
the Turkish Government kept so
studiously from the outside world
prove to have been more hor-
rible than the first reports iDdi-
Gated. Instead of few thousand
victims, the number comes nearer
twenty thousand, whose bodies were
gathered in vast heaps and con-
sumed at funeral pyres. Such steps
as have been taken for an investi-
cation by commission represent
ing the leading powersof Europe are
carried on largely under the eye and
direction of the Turkish Govern
ment, which will continue to look
after its own interests. The United
States, though debarred from hay
ing a representative upon the in
vestigating commission, has taken
action to place an American Consul
al Erzeroum and another at Har-
poot, large towns nearer the center
Of the troubles than Sivas. The
general scheme is to impress upon
Turkey that the United States will
hereafter look after its missionaries
and citizens In Armenia with
greater care. Meanwhile, Russia
and England are looked upon as
the nations which, for diplomatic
and practical reasons, can best
compel a decent government for
the Armenians. Neither power
Is talking in tone to give the op-
pressed government any assurance
that her wrongs are likely to be
redressed.

CHANGING KEY TO STEM WlNDERS

repairing complicated watches of every
description; demsgnetizing; making by
watch IN fact any dicuit work peTtaino
ing to the repairing of fine watches is
our especial forte.
The number of watches which find
their way into our Repairing Department
after having been through the hands of
numerous EXPERTS (?)is beyond belief.
Whilst we are at all times ready
and willing to do every conceiv-
abe kind and condition of a job
would it not pay you better to
bring your watch to us in the FIRST PLACE
and be assured of an honest amount of
work at a reasonable price, rather than
take it from one to another, causing you
delay and annoyance, to say nothing of
the greater expense?

oretically, practically falls far
short of the mark which temper
ance enthusiasts seek to represent.
This is not caused by a lack OF
laws. Maine and every other pro-
hibition State of America have
enough temperance legislation to
wipe every drop of liquor from
each any every hamlet, and place
every rumseller behind prison bars
for a term of years, that tends to
inspire respect for law and order.
Naturally the inference is made
that the officials are derelict In
their duty, but this is not, as rule,
found to be true. The cause of the
continuance of liquor-selling In
more than one prohibition State
lies in the people who made the
law. There are too many promin-
emit men who favor temperance,
talk prohibition and vote for most
stringent temperance laws, at the
same time keeping wine on their
own sideboards. Prohibitionists In
the States have almost without
exception begun at the wrong
end of the line. They have forced
strict laws upon the country before
the people have been educated to
the point of accepting them. The
State of Maine exhibits the queer
anomaly of men who will vote with
all the honesty of purpose imagin-
able to enforce prohibitory laws,
and at the same time buy beer or
wines for their own tables from the
corner grocery store.
For prohibition to prohibit, the
spirit of temperance must be Guilt
waited to a degree which approaches,
to say the least, the spirit of the
laws to be passed. Successful pro-
hibition will be brought about
gradually, gaining here little and
there little, but steadily gaining,
though it may at times seem ex-
tremely slow. No reform is COM
pleted in day. Be sure the repre-
sentative families are willing to
take the wines from their table
and closet before trying to force
other classes to turn from thoir
cups. The Gottenburg system, pro-
perly introduced, comes nearer
touching the prohibitory spirit of
today than any other combination
Of laws that has thus far been put |
into execution. The liquor traffic |
is an established business through
put the world, and, as long as there
Is taste for it, liquor will be sold. F,

SENATOR PETTIGREw's vote with
the Democrats ON the Hawaiian
question has aroused a veritable
hornets nest in the Legislature that
reelected him by practically a
unanimous vote. The leaders of
the legislature drew up and sent to
him strong letters condemning his
course as a surrender of the Re-
publican party. The Senator will
doubtless have reason to remember
that "snow-capped peak of flame"
in the middle of the Pacific. 1t is
far from being an Insignificant
feature of his political history.
