A New York firm is now exhibiting a
gravity clock, a recent importation
from Paris, and very ingenious piece
of mechanism. It is made of brass and
gilt. The dial and clock case are en-
tirely of glass, showing the most inter-
esting parts.
In appearance the clock suggests a
finely finished model of a machine or
hosting apparatus, rather than a time
piece. The dial is secured to an up
right brass "A'' structure: this latter IS
surnounted by round aneroid barom-
eter, which suggests the familiar steam
gauge; around the dial is large fly
wheel, with spockets, and to the left
there is an endless bucket-chain lift.
constructed upon the principle of a
grain elevator, with thermometer on
the post OF, the lift, suggesting steam
valve. Forty-one little weighted balls,
about as large as a good-sized pea, are
employed to operate the clock. They
are drawn upon this bucket chain and
dropped at intervals OF a minute into
a conduit over the sockets of the wheel.

Law Against Gambling Invoked to
Break Up Their Club.

Havana. via Key West, Nov. 8.-The
annexationists have received, through
the columns of a newspaper of this city,
a hint that it will be we'll to abandon
their meetings. The article in ques-
ton conveyed the information that the
club was to be proceeded against as
gambling institution, under which pre-
text it would be possible 70 do its MEM
bers a great deal of harm, without go
ing to the length of accusing them of
conspiracy. These meetings have,
therefore. been discontinued.
General Blancos formal reception at

Henry George as a Finaneier.

From Henry George: A Character
Sketch" by Arthur McEwen, in Amer
lean Monthly Review of Reviews for
November: The panic year of 1898
gave him an opportunity to apply in
practice his financial theories, and to
illustrate happily for his friends the
iniquity of the private ownership of
land and public franchises. The pro-
prietOrs of some large manufactures
in a small town were about to shut
down, as money was not to be had.
This would have thrown many men
out Of employment and lost to a pro-
portion of them their homes, partly
paid for. On the advice of Mr.. George
the employers deposited government
bonds, securities resting on the good
faith Of the government, with a New
York trust company. The latter then
issued certificates against these bonds
in denominations of from 81 to $50.
The men accepted the certificates as
notes for their wages; the merchants
OF the place took them as notes for
their goods. Six $4,000 blocks of these
certificates were issued and went into
circulation, the factories We're kept
going. nobody lost, and Mr. George
claimed a triumph for fiat money.

TRAGIC SUICIDE.
Whole Dreyfus Family Found Dead
in Paris

Paris, Nov. S.-A man named Drey
fus (relative of Captain Dreyfus, the
deported artillery officer imprisoned on
an island off the coast of French Gui-
ana and his wife and their three
daughters, respectively 13, IL and Z
years of age, committed suicide this
morning or last night at their residence
round their bodies in their apartments
early today. They were lying on the
floor in the bedroom of the youngest
child.
Dreyfus left a letter for the COM
missioner of police of that district, en-
closing 400 francs to defray the eX-
penses of the funeral.
The deceased husband and father
was so upset by the sentence imposed
upon Captain Dreyfus that he changed
his name TO that of his wife, formerly
Miss Rebecca FORBADE Abraham, an
American. Dreyfus is the son of the
Confess De Huerti.
1t is believed that the suicides were
committed because of the recent losses
by Dreyfus on the bourse
Madame Dreyfus last week made
several purchases of furs and clothing
for the children, and was getting ready
TO visit her sister in London. This
seems TO show that she had had no in
timation of her husbands intentions
family believe that it was only by
his overmastering influence that she
agreed 10 share his fate. 1t is not be-
lieved Captain Dreyfus' affair was an
important factor in the suicide
Dreyfus left a long letter to the
Temps and others to his financial part
ner, M. Dikof. and to his mother-in-law
In The letter addressed to the Temps
he argues that suicide is iustifiable,
urges that those dissatisfied with life
would Go well TO follow his example,
and says:
1t is better for the children to die
with their parents, as their mother has
also elected to commit suicide"
He refers, without mentioning any
names, to "a man responsible for my
ruin, but all the letters treat the rea-
sons for the suicide evasively.
M. Dikof asserts that the deceased
was in comfortable circumstances. and
had property with an annual income of
$500
Dikof's theory is that the tragedy re-
suited from excess of melancholy He
says he has heard Dreyfus allude aD-
provingly to some recent suicides in
Paris.
The apartments occupied by the de-
ceased's family are richly furnished. In
the dining room the police found the
remnants Of an ample repast. In addi-
ton to carrying on his business in tea,
coffee and dried fruits. NJ. DreyfUs had
speculated a good deal on the hourse.
He often complained to NJ DikOf about
his losses, and the latter says that he
often demonstrated with Dreyfus
against indulging his dependency. The
method Of suicide was by charcoal

Preparing for g. Great Reception on

Madrid. Nov. S-Leutenant General
Weyler's politicval hackers, supported
by his influential following in the army,
are fomenting an agitation in his be-
half in the government policy, and are
preparing TO give him reception on
his arrival, which will, if they can
bring it about, neutralize the critical
attitude of the Sagasta cabinet.
Senior Romero Robledo, who is lead
ing the agitation, addressed a large
meeting of Conservatives today, at
which several senators and deputies
were present and made a violent attack
upon the governing committee of the
Conservative party, whom he charged
with being responsible for the dissoIu-
ton of the party. He eulogized Lieu
tenant General Weyler as q military
commander, and his civil administra-
ton, and urged that war is the only
true policy in Cuba"

The wheel carries 81 of the balls at
one time and their weight revOlves the
wheel. The power thus produced swings
the pendulum and governs the hands
on the dial The wheel carries the
balls about a third of the way around
and then they drop into another con-
duit. a triple incline which finally
lands the balls at the foot of the ele-
vator again, where the endless chain
gathers them up for another swing
around the circuit" There is some fine
mathematical work on this clock. as
everything depends upon accurate cal
culatio2s. The balls must weigh pre-
cisely alike ard the momentum of each
must be the same. If one of the balls
were to lose a fraction of a second in
descending the triple incline. it would
miss its proper pocket on the lift and
stop the clock. Each of the little
spheres travels 209 feet inches every
day and in the course of q year makes
o journey of over IA miles. OF course.
the problem of perpetual motion has
not been solved, and so there must be
a hidden mechanism.

Julio Sanguilly, the Cuban patriot, has
received an order from General Gomez

The order places him in an embarras-

American citizen, and when arrested in
Havana two years ago, was only re-
leased from Moro castle upon giving
his word not to again take up arms
against the Spanish government. San
gully gave this pledge after much hes

Gomez ordered him to report for duty,
but Secretary Sherman, it is said in

would forfeit his American citizenship.
This last note from Gomez is to the
effect that if Sanguilly, who is major
