They Would not Adjourn Without Red
Lights.
BUFFALO, March 2O.-At the celebra
ton of the anniversary of the French
commune here, the speeches were guard
ed in tone. Erasmus PELHAM, of SYRIA
cuse, was the principal speaker.
A tabIeau was exhibited which showed
the sentiments of a majority of those
present. About fifteen people were in
the tableau The center figure was
young woman, who essayed the part of
liberty. In her uplifted hand she held
sword, clustered around her were
dozen men, representing the laboring
classes, and all holding weapons capable
of deadly execution, including
revolvers, hatchets. slungshots and
bludReons of various sizes. In
front was a man in evening dress who
represented the capitalist. He had q
we'll feigned look of terror on his coun-
tehance as he surveyed the scowling
mob
The orchestra played the Marseillaise,
and several men in the audience jumped
on chairs and threw their hats into the
air. Several of the women became i'm
bued with the spirit of the occasion and
waved their handkerchiefs.
The curtain was rung up five times,
and even then the audience did not have
enough of the tableau. Only when some
one in the wings burned red fire and
made the scene more vivid did the audi
ence subside

THE CLOCKS STOPPED.

Contrary to Tradition Rock Island and
Postoffice Time on Both Waiting.
The two biggest clocks in town stopped
last night.
The one on the postoffice called time
at exactly $50, and the one on the Rock
Island offices quit businass at 1 100 Il. N.
No one has died at either building,
and it would seem on the face of it that
both have refused to take hand in city
politics.
There is a theory, however, that the
cold weather had something to do with
the state of affairs and both clocks have
run down to see about it. They may be
simply discouraged. as neither has been
greatly wound up in itself for several
daya

ROSEBERY NO BETTER.
His Condition the Subject of Much
Concern.

Concern.
LONDON, March 20-The Times says
it is officially informed that Prime Minis
ter Rosebery's convalescence is much
retarded by lack of sleep Even a change
of air from London TO the country has
produced little effect in this respect, and
he is quite unable to attend to any but
the most urgent business.
Editorially the Times says that uni
versal and profound regret will be ex-
pressed for the condition of Lord Rose
berry. The gravity of the case must be
apparent to every one. 1t may be pre-
sumed that yesterdays council was more
preoccupied with the prime minister's
health than with the speakership.
The official announcement that Lord
Rosebery is only able to attend to the
most urgent business shows the neces-
sity of absolute rest, for urgency itself
implies necessity and mental strain in
which certain conditions suffice to re-
tard recovery indefinitely,
