A Clock Of Bread Crumbs.

There exists at Milan, Italy, a clock
made OF bread crumbs. 1t was made
100 years ago by o man who had not
the mears to buy the metal necessary
for the constru ,tion of the works,
This workman hit upon the ingenious
idea of taking his bread crumbs from
day to day and solidifying them by
means of a strong addition of salts.
Thus he managed to obtain a very
hard matter, which could not be dis.
solved in water, with which he con-
structed the clock in question, which
is OF one the curiosities of the capital
OF Lombardy.

A few years ago many reputable
physicians taught and believed that
there was no such disease as hydro
phobia, and that the bite of q mad dog
was not fatal to human beings, except
as their imaginations were excited to q
fatal strain on their ervou systems.
In simpler language they held that
such victims were actually scared to
death. There was, and is yet, much
force in that contention, for there can
be no doubt that many people not
really poisoned by the bite, die of
fear and mental strain ; but that hydro
phobia exists, and is a fatal disease, is
now well established. Atlanta Jour

men IN the field of labor she held, was
because 60 per cent of the men refused to
marry.

Will Pretty Nearly Own

A BIG CONCESSION GRANTED
PRACTICALLY EFFACING THE
GOVERNMENT
The Syndicate Will Pay the National
Debt, and Will Also Pay Itself
Very Literally
Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Coneul Jar
CONAN of Utillah, Honduras, has sent to
the state department report upon an
important concession by the Honduras
government granted to the Honduran
syndicate. This corporation Is composed
says the consul of we'll known capitalists
and financiers of the United States.
mostly located in New York. The syn
dicate has deposited with the govern
ment $50, 900 in gold as a guarantee that
it will carry out its part of the conces-
sion.
The Honduras government has noti-
fled all its collectors of customs and
other officials that the increase of duty
authorized in April last to take effect
August 1st will not be collected, as the
concession provides that there shall be
no increase in existing tariff during the
next five years without the consent OF
the syndicate This increase was equal
to doubling rates on many articles, and
was almost prohibitive on others.
The syndicate will oversee the collec-
ton of all duties and pay Honduras
stipulated sum in lieu of the collections
The syndicate will iquidate the foreign
(nationaD debt within given time and
will open offices in Europe for this pur-
pose. The foreign debt Of Honduras
amounts to several millions.
The syndicate is authorized to con-
struct and operate a railroad from Pu-
erto Cortez to the bay of Fonseca, on the
Pacific coast, with such branch lines as
it may desire.
The Honduras government concedes to
the syndicate the railroad and all tts ap-
purtenances now being operated thirty
miles or more out of Puerto CorteZ, the
right of way to the Fonseca bay and a
subsidy of 5000 acres of land for each
.mile of road built and operated by the
syndicate, whether as main or branch
lines, the lands to be located contiguous
to the road and in alternate sections,
or at any point desired by the syndicate.
Consul Jargonan says that this gives
to the syndicate the most valuable fran
cflise that could be obtained in Hondu-
ras The syndicate, he says, has the
power to build narrow gauge transcon-
tinental road and operate it for ninety
nine years, and is not restricted as TO
route. 1t is also given the right to or
ganize and operate banks and conduct a
general banking business and to bring
incolonists, who, however, must not be
negroes.
The consul says that this concession
means much to Honduras and the United
States and describes in detail how 1t
will open up a rich country never de-
veloped, furnishing an outlet for Amer
lean enterprise and American capital.
'It means" he said, absolute control
of the trade by the United States. 1t
means the domination of Americans not
only in trade, but in all else. even to ma
tional destiny"

IT HAS COME
Mckinley Feels Good Over Return of
Prosperity

NEW YORK, August pa dispatch
to the Journal from Hotel Champlain
Gays: President Mckinley stated to a
Journal reporter that it should be a
source of pleasure to every American
citizen to know that there was return
of prosperity to the country.
"The cause of the present boom in the
West" he said, "is undoubtedly due in
a great measure to the large crops and
high prices caused by the failure of crops
in other countries. But the fact that
prosperity has set in in the East cannot
be accounted for in no other way than by
the wise policy of the Republican. party
in restoring protective tariff.
THE present boom is not spa smodic.
1t will continue to increase and not only
the manufacturers but the people gen
orally will soon realize that ii is only
with a protective tariff and a souno
financial system that the country will
be prosperous and remain in thai con-
dition.
with the restoration of confidence
will come restoration of prosperity "

Heavy Damage Results From Acts OF

houses. are already destroyed, and the

aggregate thousands of dollars.
Fires in this city never come singly,
but seem to follow the rule of one and
many. An alram was turned in from
Lincoln school at s o'clock this evening.
and as a result the greater part of beau
tiful block situated in the western addi-

nf1agration is unknown, save that 1t
started in a large stable and spread to
the property of w. c. Brown, and
thence to the dwelling houses of w. A,
Martin, w. II. Curtis and some unoccu-
MED houses of J. Damon. Some bug
bies. harness and horses were in the
barn. and only the horses were saved.
Tonights fire equaled that which this
morning destroyed the Reid house, the
Reid house annex and the National

burning buildings, The loss by the
two fires will probably aggregate sSo-,

THE CRAVEN CASE
Lots of Questions, But Very Few
Answers

SAN FRANCISCO, August. 23.-John
C. Lynch, the newly appointed Collector
Of Internal Revenue OF this district, was
the principal witness examined today.
He admitted that he was Speaker of the
Assembly during the session of 1895, and
identified printed copy of the teach
ers' annuity BILL" which had been
placed before the Legislature by Mrs.
Craven. When asked whether or not he
mad had any conversation with that lady
upon the subject of the bill, plaintiff S
counsel made the point that the question
was immaterial, because it was not
claimed that the pencil will was not in
existence until after the Legislature of
1895 had adjourned, and the witness was
excused.
The defense then attempted to show by
w. +. Stanford of the legal blank de-
partment of the H. S, Crocker Company
that not even an employe of that COM
pany could tell what blanks were printed
by the firm, but the witness was not al
lowed to express an opinion.
