FAMOUS PICTURES ON BnLBoARDs.
Society in Paris Endeavors to Gull
tivate Public Taste.

PARIS, Oct. A rather amusing eff
fort to stem the tide Of immoral publi-
cations and advertisements Is being
made by league called the Union for
Moral Action" whose president is M
Paul Desjardins. The scheme Is to
oppose the highly colored pictures Of
scantily clad damsels which adorn the
walls and fences of Paris by other pic
lures Of moral and chaste subjects
copies Of the works of famous painters
SO they placarded, on board fence in
f1ont OF a house on the Boulevard des
Capucines that is being repaired, a
series of drawings representing the life
OF Saint Geneyteve, copied from the IA
nous paintings of Puvis de Chavannes
In the Pantheon, with which every Wis
itor to Paris is familiar. Chavannes
himself came down to superintend the
pasting of the posters on the fence. and
all the newspapers gave the affair ex-
cellent notices..
1t was a novelty decidedly Partisan
and tickled the fancy Of the boulevard
1ers, who stopped to look at it for the
first twenty-fOur hours. But alas! al
though the moral billposter is still
there, 1t now attracts scarcely any at
tention, while the newspaper kiosks
have their usual crowds of morbid peo-
pie looking at the Illustrations
One fault was that the Life of Saint
deHeVieVe WAS printed IN oulI mo-
notonous yellow color. not bright
enough to attract the eye, so that it
would not arrest the passer-by unless
he knew of it beforehand. To have
copied the colors Of the original paint
ing would have made the experiment
enormously expensive. AS 1t is, the So
ciety has spent 81, 600 on this first pic
ture, and is now trying to sell copies of
it in order to get back the money. If
it succeeds in this, it will try a Sec
ond. The prospects of a second are ex-
tremely doubtful

FORTY YEARS,
Or Until 1896, This Clock VIII Run
Without Winding.

There are clocks that go eight days,
some that go a month, and others that
go not at all, but there is only one clock
that will keep time forty years without
winding, and that has just been built
in Chicago.
Purdy Campbell, Chicago jeweler,
made UP his mind that he had forty
years of his life before him. He fig
ured on this basis that he would, during
the rest of his life, spend about sixty
days Of his valuable time winding the
clock, to say nothing Of time and tenn
per lost through forgetting 1t. Then
he decided to make a clock that would
have to be wound but once in forty
years.
He spent his odd minutes at the task,
and has succeeded in producing Won
derful piece of mechanism-the only
one Of it's kind in the world. This
forty-year timepiece is fifteen inches in
diameter, and weighs seventy-five
pounds
The movement is geared so that the
barrel wheel containing the handspring
revolves once in two and a half years.
When this wheel has made 16 revolt
key IL turns. The clock will then be
wound for another forty years. The
first wheel from the barrel wheel
crowds around at the rate of one turn
a year. The dial plate Is six inches In
diameter.
Every part of this clock, this near
approach to perpetual motion, was
made by Mr.. Campbell, and the work
took most of his leisure for twentyfour
months. The movement is full jeweled.
The clock will be put In a hermetic-
ally sealed case, and it will work in a
vacuum. thus lessening friction and
preventing the oil from drying. 1t will
be impossible for dust to get into the
works.

at late hour last evening one of the

who had found it in the street early in

must belong to the man who dropped

LONDON. Oct. 4.-The Vienna corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail declares
that the agreement Of the powers for
the settlement of the Turkish problem
which this correspondent announced last
week, having good authority for pub
fishing, includes the formation of an
Armenian zone in the Turkish empire
on the basis of the Jewish pale in

safety Of the Armenians therein with
the idea that the zone would become
the germ of a new Armenian state.

while Italy will cooperate IL necessary.
AS far as England is concerned, the
harbor of Smyrna will play an impor-

AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN.
Edward Fay VIII Begin One In As
ISOLATED Charities Circles,

sOctated Charities Circles
With the return of Edward A Fay to
his old post in the managerial chair,
the office Of the associated charities
resumes It's familiar air. Mr.. Fay was
with the Washburn Orphan asylum in
the capacity of superintendent seven
months, employing a leave of absence
from the charities. At the expiration
of his time he was glad to return to
his old office, and Oct l found him
back. AS yet he has hardly adjusted
the routine, but will shortly begin on
an active campaign in the interests of
the associated charities. During the
summer the work moved along
smoothly under the direction of Mrs.
L. G. Bacon, who has been retained in
the charities employ, and whose eff
cient care of the managers desk ena-
bles her to become assistant in the
financial work of the organization.
1t Is early in the season to plan what
shall be done during the winter. The
clothing department and work rooms
have not yet been put in operation, and
will hardly be in good running order
before week or two. Mrs. L. M Park
er is new addition to the force Of en-
ployes, and will bring to her new Of
flee valuable experience, acquired
during her term of service in the capac-
ity of business manager of the Wo-
mans Council Magazine, which she
saw incorporated and discontinued.
Mrs. Parker will be the head friendly
visitor and will superintend the confer
ence work.
Mr.. Fay's first effort will be to put
the associated charities on a sound
financial basis. The funds have fallen
very low and there is need of money
In the treasury. He has various plans
in mind, which, on due consideration,
will be laid before the board of direc-
tors. The work Of the Wayfarers'
lodge will probably be resumed with
the opening of cold weather. The prac-
teal work in the clothing department
will be continued, as this feature Of the
home office was found last winter to be
of great value.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Frederick r.
Coudert, the eminent lawyer and men,

from The-Hague on the French line

went abroad for the purpose Of exam

the boundary, and has spent consider
aple time over the government ar

array or new testimony bearing upon
the point at issue has been unearthed.

Just how valuable these were ar
what they tended to establish Mr.. Con-
dert would not disclose. Another use-
Iul source of information he said was
the propaganda at Rome, where some
most valuable records We're found. Re-
gardlng the correspondence which had
passed between Secretary Olney and
LORD Salisbury recently, Mr.. Coudert
SAID: Il understand that this CORE
spondence deals with the subject Of
arbitration generally and cannot be
specifically applied to the Venezuelan
controversy. The recent visit of Jo-
seph Chamberlain did not, in my opin-
len, have any connection with this mat
ter.
SO far as know officially nothing
further has been accomplished in the
matter than when I left, and If any
negotiations are being conducted by the
executive Of the government to settle

Took a Little Too Much.

Edward Murray, a young man resid

was brought to the city hospital early
yesterday morning, suffering from an
overdose of morphine, which had been

taken, had unguardedly taken too
much. He was induced to throw up
what he had taken, and was in such a
condition yesterday afternoon that he

III Effect. of Amateur surgery,

What was at first believed to be a case of
attempted suicide, and reported from Newry
as such, now turns out TO have been only
an. old mans desperate remedy for the re-
lief of labored breathing. James Mckee. the
man referred to, is centenarian For
years he has been an inmate Of the Newry
workhouse. Being afflicted with asthmatic
bronchitis, recently he carried into execution
the idea of punching his body with a cob
bler's knife, in order, as he says himself
ITO let out the wind" On a previous oc.
casion he performed a similar operation and
strange to say, actually experienced or fancied
some relief in breathing in consequence. This
time, however, 1t is feared that the knife
went too deep and that the great loss of blood
will prove fatal.
