Green Consequences.
The winder first explained the ac-
curate. opera ton of the complex me-.
chanisnf. The revolution of the great
primary windlass results in a circular
motion which, conveyed by worm
gearing to the corresponding ratchet
pawl upon the external diameter of.
the intermediate pinions, transmits
the requisite Migratory impulse to theg
pallet of the friction clutch. This
movement being diurnally main
tanned, the scope and utility Of the
major and intermediate, as well as OF
the auxiliary windlasses, become at
once apparent. The fans attached to
the various wheels are supposed to-
thrash the circumambient atmos-~
phere whenever occasion requires,
and thus repress the too vivacious :

bell which marks the hours is struck
by hammers released by the cable
connected with the largest windlass;
the smaller bells are under the tender
care of the second windlass; while
the smallest and central wfndlass
operates the clock work alone.
Then there was the pendulum. Mr..
Potter disapproved of this. because
it was not more numerous. He
said that in "Lunnen"' the big clocks
have two pendulums, of which the
first regulates the clock, and the
second regulates the first. Winder

After two or three minutes, which
seemed as many hours, the second
summit was attained. Thoroughly
exhausted by the fatigues and perils
of the last ascent, the brave little
band fell helpless upon the cold and
dusty floor For a moment no one
spoke. At last the chief guide muir

The expedition was again under
way at 2:06, and began the passage
of the upper hall to the door of the

discovered at this point traversing
the hallway in the general direction

of reckless daring and devotion every
manly heart throbbed with rejuve-
mated valor. Casting away their al
penstocks, the heroic trio ran mer-
rily up the stairs, and soon stood
before the great municipal clock.

The city of ST. Paul never forgets
to wind its clock nor is it likely that
Hercules ever forgot any of his seven
Iabors. Should such a forgetting
ever take place it would be a most
incomprehensible passing of the
winding;" for a winding that re-
quires the arduous toll of two men
during a full hour will not escape the
memory like a pledge before cleo
ton.
Once week, therefore-on every
Friday, to-wit, at 2 p. m.-thfs city
winds its gigantic Waterbury in the
court house tower. The gentlemen
who are granted the pleasing privil-
eye of augmenting their biceps by
means of this athletic recreation are

sents the firm of Haman & Co.,

to the staff of the city and county
court house brigade.
Last Friday a GLOBE reporter
accompanied the devoted winders to
the scene Of their tolls and profanity.
Starting from the janitor's room on
the fourth floor, the trio babe good
bye to their friends, took a last drink
and farewell sandwich, and reso-

GUS ascent. The first stairway, long,
narrow and precipitous, was passed
with ease, the summit being attained
at POP. Everyone felt fresh and
vigorous, and it was resolved Ito
push on to the second stairway be-
fore stopping to rest. This ascent
was rather more formidable. AL
though the gradient remained prac-
tically the same, the boards were
more uneven, and a sudden chill went
to every heart when Winder Potter,
who led the expedition, halted alb
ruptly just below the summit, and
gave warning of the presence Of
A PROJECTING NAIL.
A brief consultation was held. Then,
under the trained supervision of
Chief Guide Potter, the course of
the ascent was altered to the eX-
IRENE outside edge of the stairway.
Cautiously grasping the bannister
with one hand, furling their trousers
with the other, and holding their
alpen-stocks between their teeth, the
intrepid climbers crept slowly, yet
surely, past the threatening obstacle.

Acute Dyspepsia,
SYMPATHETIC HEART DISEASE

F'rom the Republican, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa.)
Mrs. V. Curley, who has resided in
Clarence, Iowa, for the past twenty
two years, tells an interesting story of
what she considers rescue from pre-
mature death. Her narrative is as
follows:
For ten years prior to 1894, I was
a constant sufferer from acute
stomach trouble, l had all the mani
fold symptoms iof acute dyspepsia,

den attacks of suffocation which would
come on without a moments warming
My troubles increased as time wore
on and 1 spent large sums in doctor
bills, being compelled to have medical
attendants almost constantly. During
1892 and 1893, it was impossible for me
to retain food, and water brashes
plagued me. 1 was reduced to a
skeleton. A consultation of physicians
was unable to determine just what

use of opium.
About this time a friend of mine,
Mrs. Samantha Smith, of Giidden
Iowa, told me about the case of Mrs
Thurston, of Oxford Junction, Iowa
This lady said she had been afflicted
much the same as I had. She had con-
suited local physicians without relief,
and had gone to Davenport for treat
ment. Giving up all hope of recovery,
she was persuaded by friend to take
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.. The result
was almost magical.
1 was led to try them from her ex-
perience, and before many months I
felt better than 1 had for a dozen
years. I am now almost free from

Anna NJ. Clark, owner of the MARI
borough flats, is made defendant in a
suit begun by William Miller yester-
day, to recover $4,000 for personal in
juries alleged to have been received
in the elevator in the building. Miller
alleges that by reason of the defective
construction of the elevator shaft and
apparatus he was caught between the
frame work around the elevator shaft,
and the weights operated therein, and
was greatly injured, his jaw being
broken, among other things. The plain
tiff does not allege that he was in
charge of the elevator, and how he
came to get caught in the manner des-
cribed does not appear.

Michael Raiolo was before Judge
Twohy yesterday morning charged
with beating Pasquale Magliam over
the head with piece of wood. The
mistake thus involved will he ex-
planned Monday. Singularly enough,
both gentlemen are Italians, and oc-
cupy villas under the high bridge.
The owner of a neighboring estate,
one Signor Magliani, was sentenced
to Saltwater some time since under
misrepresentation of the delicacy of
Italian honor, and his adherents and
opponents, in that tranquil suburb,
have allowed themselves to become
unduly excited over his fate. Time
was when an Italian gentleman would
point his argument with a dagger.
but both Signores Magliani and Raiolo
are members of the Upper Flats Uni
versal Peace society, and are consci-
entiously opposed to the use of deadly
weapons. Their high sense of the
dignity of ancient custom, however,
impelled them to indulge in a symbolic
combat with picturesque swords of
wood. Raiolo's symbolism possessed
an element of realism which sent
his collaboration to the city hospital,
and caused the latter's friends to con-
fuse lofty tradition with criminal
propensity.
