LOTS OF THINGS IN HIS STOCKING.
Yesterday Was a Regular Christmas Day
For Governor Cleaves.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Governor Cleaves' last day in Office. To-
morrow morning he will walk arm in
arm with Governor-eleot Powers to the
chamber of the house, where in the
presence of both branches Of the legisla-
ture, Mr. Powers will take the oath of
Office and become the Governor of Maine
MIR. Cleayes' last official day has been
made memora BILE by an unofficial OCCUR
renee which will doubtless be among his
| pleasantest recollections of his successful
administration of State affairs. In the
council chamber at four O'Clock this at
ternoon, there gathered the members CT
the Governors council, his staff and the
State officials. They had brought with
them tokens OF their regard. From the
State officials there was presented
clock the like uf which has probably
never been seen in Maine. 1t is clock
of about the size of most such time
pieces seen on the mantels of private
houses, but this clock is provided with
q pedestal of its own, made of Algerian
onyx with Cloisonne enamel and gilt
decoration. The shining surface of the
onyx is inlaid with the gilt and enamel
in intricate and pleasing designs. The
walls Of the case of the clock are made of
plates Of the dearest of bevelled glass
and these glass walls are set in frame
of Cloisonne enamel with gilt decorating
that, at least, is the way the makers de-
scribe it, You have to see it to appreciate
the beauti ul workmanship in the deli
cate inlaid work. The face of the clock,
to again borrow from the makers de-
soription, is of gilt with renaissance deco
ration in enamel. This clock can be
made by the moving of an index hand to
strike the quarters, halves and hours,
but the striking apparatus is beautiful
chime which initiates the Oxford and
Cambridge chimes. The clock was Sc
looted by Insurance Commissions Carr.
III was made in Paris for Bigelow, Ken
nard and company, the Boston jewellers. |
The clock cost $3.50.
If the clock is handsome SO is the mas
eive silver loving cup, the gift of the staff |
and the elaborately carved gavel which |
cnme from the council.
When the group of representative men |
had assembled in the executive chamber |
this afternoon Commissioner Carr intro |
duced Me- L.. L. Carleton, who made the |
presentation speech:

ing the demand for one of the most popular
bicycles made. The Western Wheel Works,
Chicago, makers of the Crescent wheel, have
the largest, and without doubt the most
complete, bicycle factory in the world, and
can turn out, when running to fullest ca
pacity, 125 finished CresCents in twelve
hours, or a complete up to date" bicycle
per minute.
They used during 1895 $50 miles of tub
ing, or enough to nearly reach from Chi
cago to St. Paul if placed in a straight line
The spokes were made in their own fac
tory, and required $50 miles of wire, or
enough to reach from Chicago to Lincoln,
Neb.; 80 miles of brass rod was required
for spoke nipples. If the spokes, spoke nip
Piles and tubing were placed in a straight
line they would reach from Chicago to the
Rocky Mountains at Denver. The cranks,
If placed end to end, would cover a distance
of p miles. They used 50 miles of steel for
crank axles, wheel axles and pedal axles,
and ~ miles OF steel for seat posts. If the
inns that were used in the manufacture of
Crescents in '96 were placed one upon the
other they would make a pile l9, 500 feet
high, 5000 feet higher than Pixies Peak
and about the height of Mount Elias in
Alaska, whose summit has never yet been
reached by man. 1t required 80 1854 square
feet of sheet steel to make the Crescent
hollow tooth sprockets, and 2l,S76 square
feet for the steel stampings of the head and
seat post clamps, or in all enough fiat steel
to cover an area of II acres. There were
used 10 miles of cork grips, l0s miles of
finished hubs, and % miles of steel wire to
pin frames together before brazing The
finished chains, end to end, would reach
40 miles, and the different pieces of which
they are composed would reach 2371 miles,
or in all 3071 miles, the distance from Chi
cago to Cincinnati. The bearings of 1896
Crescents required Is ,997 300 steel balls,
which, if placed in a straight line, side by
side, would reach a distance of 453 miles
To lace the chain and dress guards on the
ladies' Crescents manufactured in 1896 re-
quired 434, $50 yards of cord, or 246I miles,
enough to allow a small boy to stand on
the top of the Auditorium tower in Chicago
and fly his kite where the people in Des
Moines, Iowa, could see it. To supply
Crescents sold in 1896 required l,606, 742
bolts, and l,4S8,0 nuts, having an aggre-
gate weight of % tons. The total weight
of the complete bicycles was 1882, 842
pounds, or l,l9l tons. To crate these BIZ
cycles required l,235, 740 square feet of lum-
Der made up in pieces; 2,7lS,66S separate
and distinct pieces entered into the con-
struction of 90 Crescents, and if all were

A poor woman who kept a shop in a north-
ern village, and who was troubled with a
husband who could scarcely be considered q
q widow through the sudden demise of her
spouse. A lady, who frequently made
small purchases at the shop, called to see her
and to offer her sympathy, though knowing
that the mans death must in certain sense
come as a relief, as the wife had often suf-
fared from his violence. She was not, how
ever, quite prepared for the stoical way in
which the vile took her bereavement.
Said the lady:
"I am sure, Mrs. C., You must miss
your husband"

Hunting big game is not as hard work as
IL used to be in the days of the long, heavy,
big bored rifles. With light modern rifle,
such as the Model '94 or 95 Winchester,
more game can be killed and at much longer
distances than with any one of the old time
guns. The Model '95 Winchester is one of
the highest powered rifles made. 1t will

HER LIFELIKE STATUE.
SignaIized Her Departure from the
World of Artists.

Before her marriage she had been a ia
nous sculptress. She had made several por-
traits of well-known men, and everyone pre-
dicted for her still more brilliant future,
when she suddenly set all predictions at
naught by marrying wealthy man who dis
approved of her keeping up her professional
work. She was very quiet under this re-
striction, but was supposed to rebel inward
ly. Therefore when, at dinner party one
evening, she asked her old friend, Gen.
Bashar, to come and see her on the follow
ing evening and inspect her last piece of
work, which she thought the best and most
lifelike she had ever executed, he sup
posed he was to use his influence to prevail
upon the husband to permit her to resume
her place among the working fraternity of
artists.
81 am sure you will like it, general" she
said, with winning smile. 1T fairly lives
and breathes. l confess l am in love with
it myself"

the task intrusted to him, presented him

her last bit to him.
