CHARITIES INVESTIGATION.
The Board of Childrcn's Guardian
Heard Today.

The congressional joint committee On
charities resumed its hearings this after
noon at o'clock. There Is q great deal
of work still before the committee, and 1t
has been decided to postpone further hear
ings until April 10. 20 and y. The sched-
ule will be rearranged so as to take in all
Of the subjects tho committee decided to
investigate. The subject of todays hear
ing YVES dependent children. and President
Woodward of the board of childrens
guardians appeared He read statement
setting forth the work of that organiza-
ton. He detailed the circumstances under
which he thought children should become
amenable to the jurisdiction of the board.
He maintained that judicial process was
the only practical method of committing
children to the board. He said the board
was frequently cated uporf to care for chill
dren from other states who were brought
here for that purpose. and the necessity
for taking the case through the Police
Court sometimes induced the parents to
abandon their object and to take the chill
dren home.
Mr.. Woodward called attention to the
fact that there Is no law in the District to
require a parent to care for a child and
said he believed that If such a law were
enacted 1t would reduce the expense to the
rublic One-tnird or one-half.

MIR. HAMLIN's POSITION.
1t Will BE Simply Advisory to Gen.
Foster.

~ VIII DC simply ANvtAOry to Gen.
Foster.
Mr.. c. 8. Hamlin, ex-assistant secretary
OF the treasury. who has been retained by
the government as counsel to assist In the
conduct Of the negotiations with Great
Britain looking to a permanent settlement
or the Bering sea seal question, said TODAY
that his position would be simply advisory
to ex-Secretary John W. Foster, who will
nave general direction of the negotiations
Mr. Hamlin will return to Boston to re-
sumo his law practice, but he will come to
Washington from time to time for cor suIta-
ton with Mr.. Foster. The sealing reg,,,a-
tions under the Paris award were pu1 into
operation In 1894. and were to run five
years. or two seasons. longer
The apparent decrease in the number NJ
female seals during the last two or three
seasons has reached such proportions that
IL is feared two more seasons of indis-
crlm1nafe slaughter by pelagic seaIers will
have practically destroyed the Industry
The British, as. we'll as the American in
Vestigators, have reached this conclusion
and 1t Is the purpose Of the United States
In the pending negotiations to bring. ahouf
a new agreement under which both coun-
tries shall take active measures looking
TO the preservation of the seal herds for
all time to come. 1t is expected Mr. Foster
Will give his entire time to the question
until final settlement is reached

Henderson. living in Cissers alley, George

near the old causeway leading from Vir-
ginia to Analostan Island. A hasty ex-
animation revealed that life was not ex-
tinct. though the body was partly imbedded
in the mud. An alarm was quickly given
and assistance rendered by others in ex-
Treating the unfortunate man from his
position. A boat was secured and the man
removed to Passeno's boat house, from

CURIOUS CLOCKS,
Interesting Specimens of Timepiece.
Which Have Been Made.

interesting Specimens of Timepieces
Which HIVE Been Made.
From the Commercial Advertiser
The origin of the clock is unknown. but
such timepieces were known In Italy as
early as the tenth century. Some think
they were first invented by the Saracens
From that time many elaborate and whim-
steal designs were constructed, and those
which were skillfully and wonderfully made
brought fabulous prices. An old Italian
soldier. who served prior to 1853. construct
ed one of the most curious of these By
Its mechanism the figure of a tortoise was
made to drop into a plate of water, having
the hours marked on its rim. The figure
would float around and stop at the proper
hour, telling the time like "a learned pig -
A lizard also was made in the Same time
Keeper to ascend a pillar on which the
hours were marked and point out the time
as II advanced. A mouse did the same
thing by creeping along an hour-marked
cornice. The figure Of a golden cock that
Mapped Its wings twice with the approach
OF the hours and crowed twice was also a
popular favorite for ancient timekeepers
or the various specimens that might be
given OF early designs of the clockmakers'
art not the least interesting are the several
types Of lamp clocks. One of these was of
a kind quite common in the seventeenth
century, and consisted of q lamp burner
placed at the base of a glass oil receptacle
mounted vertically upon suitable stand
ard. The Oil reservoir had attached to it a.
SCALE facing the burner and showing the
hours. beginning at o'clock in the after
noon. at which time the lamp was to be
lighted in winter. and ending at O'Clock
in the morning The lamp being lighted.
the gradually descending level Of oil, as
combustion proceeded, marked the hours.
Another device-of later origin, dating back
to the beginning of the present century
utilized the same principle. 1t consisted of
two communicating oil chambers. super
posed by clock dial. In one Of the cham
bers was placed night lamp to illuminate
this dial. and in the other was suspended a
float from a cord which passed around a
small pulley. The latter was mounted on a
horizontal axis ending in the center of the
dial. The float Of course. descended as the
oil was consumed, and carried the index
hand along with it. thus marking the hours
precisely as in the case already cited. At
their best. these timepieces could have had
only an Indifferent degree of accuracy. yet
they probably served their purpose well.
and certainly are interesting at the present
time as illustrating some of the expedients
adopted by mechanicians Of an earlier

SENATE REORGANIZATION
fOommittees Of Both Parties Resuming Their
Efforts 70 That End.
Secretary Mcmillan Predicts That the
Matter VIII Bo SuocessfuIly
Accomplished.

The committees representing respectively
the republican ana democratic sidos OF the
Senate resumed their efforts today to reach
an agreement on q basis Of reorganizing
the Senate committees. The full republi-
can committee was in session early In the
day. The democratic committee did not
meet at the same tims, but Chairman
German was at tho Capitol and most Of
the members of his committee were within
call. The republicans have gone to work
with the serious intention of taking charge
Of the committees, but they find that in as
suming this task there are many delicate
points to be settled. In accepting the
democratic proposition to take care OF most
of the silver republicans and populists they
find that they are compelled to assign
places to old senators in those two parties
which are much sought after by straight
republicans who have not been SO long in
the Senate. but feel that they deserve to be
rewarded for party service.
The disposition would be to favor the
straight party men at the expense of 9TH
ers but for the fear that this course would
have an Injurious effect upon the fortunes
Of the tariff bill. The tariff is indeed CIV
ing the managing committee AID all the re-
publican senators m:re concern than any
other factor in the situation. 1t is doubt
full whether they would attempt to proceed
but for this bill. They fear, however, that
if they do not take the work in hand. the
bill might be seriously delayed, some of
the democrats having practically warned
them that they would object to any further
legislation of any character unless the COM
mittees should be filled. There is also a feel
ing on the republican side that any allot-
Elent which might appear to discriminate
invidiously against the populsts and silver
republicans would imperll the tariff bill by
precipitatng unseemy wrangle on the
eve Of its presentation to the Senate.
The committee will do it's best to over
fhn fh1tS tod but
the work of making the adjustment is like
ly to consume more time than was ex-
pected.
The republican committee was in session
about three hours today, and after it ad-
journed Senator Mcmillan said that such
satisfactory progress had been made as to
warrant the prediction that reorganization
would be accomplished Notices were or
dered sent to the republican senators ask
ing them to specify the committees on
which they would prefer to serve.
