Worth Appreciated.

In his younger days the late Mr.: w.
II. Smith was usually present to see
the morning papers dispatched, and one
morning something at one Of the Offices
had gone wrong, SO that there was great
risk Of that paper missing the trains
Mr. Smith, recognizing the difficulty,
threw off his coat, worked away as hard
as any of his subordinates and had the
satisfaction of seeing the vans leave
with just time to catch the trains. IA
He was afterward leaning over one Of
the tables reading q paper, still in his
shirt sleeves, when one Of the men.
mistaking him for mate, gave him q
resounding smack on his broad back,
exclaiming: s..z@s
.'Well, Jack, old man, we got that
lot away smartly. . When "W. Fl. !"
raised himself, the man rushed away,
terrified by his blunder.
On coming on duty at night the man
received note addressed to him, which
he concluded contained the sack, - but
to his surprise it was to inform him
that from the end Of that week be
would be a foreman. w. q. = had
sense enough to see that a man who was
SO delighted at having accomp lished q
difficult task for his employers was
made of the right stuff. Pearson

Contest in Maryland Centers on Cor
mans Successor.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.-The voters OF
Maryland will on Tuesday next elect a
state comptroller, clerk of the court OF
appeals and a new legislature, which,
in turn, will choose successor to
United States Senator German. The
campaign has been unusually bitter.
The state Offices to be filled are unlm-
portant, the main interest centerlng IN
the legislative contest. If the Demo-
Gratis win, Senator German will doubt
less be chosen for another term, while,
if the Republicans are victorious, there
will probably be sharp fight for the
seat with the chances in favor Of the
selection of Congressman Sydney E.
Mudd of Charles county. Both sides
claim to be able to count enough votes
in the legislature to secure a majority
on joint ballot and to elect the United
States senator.

THE COMPETITOR CASES.

Spain Concludes to Comply With the De-
mands of the State Department..
MADRID, Nov. 2.-The Competitor
case has been taken up by Foreign Min
lister Gullon, Colonial Minister Moret
and Naval Minister E :mejo, to whom
the matter had been referred by the
cabinet.
The communication from the United
States government, touching the affair,
was carefully examined, together with
the Spanish evidence that the Competi-
tor was flibusterer.
After mature consideration the min.
listers named reached the conclusion, in
view of the precedents established in
the case by the Duke Of Tetuan while
he was foreign minister, and by the
Conservative cabinets of Senior Canovas
and General Azcarraga, that Spain
must satisfy the demands Of the Amer
lean state department..

Erect Large Building.
CHICAGO Nov. 2.-Chicago is to have
q s'labor temple The question has
been discussed for several months, and
the movement finally has crystalhzed
into plan for Immediate action. At
the next regular meetings Of the build
ing trades council and Chicago Fedora
ton members, of joint com mission
will be appointed to devise means for
raising the money necessary for the
erection of large modern building
suitable for the permanent home OF
over 300 fourishing trades unions, to-
gether with several large central bodies
made up Of delegates from local unions.
Several Chicag go capitalists have sig
nified their w illingness to donate large
sums of money or to subscribe to large
portion of the capital stock provided
the trades unions will raise a like
amount It is propos ed to raise the
necessary funds by popular subscrlp'
ton and by small per capita assess
ments. 1t is estimated that $500, 600
could be raised within five years by the
unions alone without the aid Of the
general public.
There are no less than $4,000 trades
unionists in Chicago. A per capita OF
| 10 cents a month would raise $3.50, 900
year.

THE WONDERS OF A WATCH.
Few Persons Know How Great Its Mar
velous Powers Are.

Few Persons Know How Great Its Mar
velous Powers Are.
A Boston jeweler who has talent
for advertising as we'll as genius for
mechanics has been reminding his pa
irons lately that a watch is the small
est, most delicate machine that was
ever constructed of the same number of
parts. About 175 different pieces Of ma
terial enter into it's construction and
upward Of 2, 400 separate operations are
comprised in it's manufacture.
Some Of the facts connected with it's
performance are simply incredible,
when considered in total. A blacksmith
strikes several thousand blows on his
anvil in day and is right glad when
Sunday comes around, but the roller
jewel of watch makes every day and
| day after day 432, 900 impacts against
the fork, or 157, $50, 900 blows in year
without stop or rest, or 3,15S, 900, 900
in the short space Of 20 years.
These figures are beyond the grasp of
our feeble intellects, but the marvel
! does not stop here It has been estimat-
ed that the power that moves the watch
is equivalent to only four times the
force used in a flea's jump; consequent.
~ it might be called a four flea power.
One horsepower would suffice to run
27O, 900, 900 watches -
Now the balance wheel of watch il
moved by this four flea power one and
forty three one-hundredths inches will

ously in one yea" -
If you would preserve the timekeep
ing qualities of your watch, you shoul'
take it to competent matchmaker ono

{ A SOAP BUBBLE.
III. Relation Of Its Varying Thinness e
the ColOrs It Shows.

tn. Relation Of Its Varying Thinness -
the ColOrs It Shows.
The extreme thinnesso Of the bubble is
indeed wonderful It is estimated that
the film in some places is only one
/ three millionths Of an inch in thickness
/ Probably few Of us can conceive Of such |
thinness Let me express it in another
way. The Old and the New Testament !
contain soma 5000, 900 of letters. Now
one three millionth is such part Of an
inch ais the first, letter Of the Bible is .
part Of the sum Of all Of its letters
The bubble, however, is not Of equal
thickness at all points, and it is for this
reason that it has the various colors
For instance, wherever the film is
orange red it measures about three-mil
lionths of an inch; where it is blue,
eighty one-millionths Of an inch, and
at point where lemon yellow is prom
inent about twenty one-millionths Of an
| inch. Perhaps you wonder why the col
ors change from one part of the soap
| bubble to another. This is because the
film of the soap bubble evaporates and
grows thinner, but unequally SO at diff
ferent portions. A greenish blue with q
pale rose red spot near it indicates an
extreme thinness, and at such a point
the film is ready to give way at the
least jar.
! You will be glad to know the source
Of the beautiful colors. Every one is de-
lighted with them, even if not interest
ed by the explanation Of their origin.
We may say that they come from the
light. Light gives color to all objects,
but not exactly as it does to the soap
bubble. White light from the sun can
be broken into the seven colors which
we have seen in the rainbow. In that
instance the raindrops separate it into
it's parts A glass prism will do the
same, as you may prove by looking
through glass pendant from a hanging
lamp. When the light reaches the sur
face Of the soap bubble, part is reflect
, ed from it, and we see images on ite
surface as if it were curved mirror.
Another portion Of the light, however,
enters the film and is separated so that
parts Of the seven colors are thrown
into the bubble, and we can see them al
various portions Of the opposite surface
Another part Of the light, after being
broken by the film, is reflected by it,
inner surface back to our eyes, SO tina
we see colors at the point where tn
light enters. F. Butcher in St

Striving with all his powers and at times despair

MI. watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right an: and
Justice as to undertake to despol him OF his BUS

customers into thinking they had the genuine

STREET CAR coNDu CToRs.

They Work HARDER and Rate Lower Thans /
s Their Steam Road Brothers.
You often think it's hard for the pas
senger conductor Of an accommodation
train which stops at two or three sta
tions to the mile to tell who has paid
his fare and who has not. The conduct
or Of a short run accommodation train |
especially must be peculiarly gifted
man. He must be at once both cool
headed and even tempered, or if not he
is total failure.
But if the requisites Of a railroad
conductor are such, what are the re-
quirements of the man who runs a COM
mon street car? Why, as much as those
Of the railroad man and several times
more. The railroad accommodation CON
ductor on one of the short run trains
which leave the big cities has little
more work, little more responsibility
and requires less real skill than the man
who by grace is called conductor" on
a trolley car Of one Of our cities.
Both men, Of course, have thousands
of cares. The railroad man has certain
number Of stops to make and certain
schedule time allowed for getting over
his run of the railroad The street car
conductor has an uncertain number OF
stops to make, yet he still has his Ger
tain scheduled time to make on his run,
and he must make it, too, or be able to
give an "a No. T. excuse for failure.
The railroad conductor is always the
biggest man on his train. Is ever the
street Car conductor the biggest, unless
every passenger is off and the motorman
also? These things make it hard for the
patient man, who must be polite and
who is expected by the company for
which he works and spurred on by a
dozen or so sharp eyed "spotters, or
"street car detectives" as they call
themselves, to feel as lovely as spring
| morning, and they make his already
nervous work doubly So The railroad
conductor doesn't meet that phase OF
! existence once in a decade, or if so not
any oftener.
No one presumes to expect SO much
from the knight of the ticket punch al
he does from the knight Of the trolley
rope Every one who travels on stree
cars expects the conductor to know
every cross street on his line and jus
where it strikes that street, and, in
deed, he should know this much, but il
addition he is expected to know ever.

New ENGLAND Meeting Houses.

Cotton Mather said: II find no just
ground in Scripture to apply such
trope as church to house for public
worship A meeting house is the term
that is most commonly used by New
England Christians, and every town,
for the most part, can say we have a
modest and a handsome house for the
worship of God, not set off with gaudy,
pompous, theatrical fineries, but suited
unto the simplicity of Christian wor-
ship IL: -
The people were seated in the early
days. says DR.. Ezra Hoyt Byington, in
his book on THE Puritan In England
and New England" on rough benches,
men and women on opposite sides.
Pews were not provided first. Now and
then special vote was passed by the
town authorizing some person to build
q pew in the meeting house at his own
expense. Squares on the floor, about 6
feet by 6, were decided to individuals,
on which they erected pews to suit
themselves The best seat was some
times assigned to the man who paid the
highest tax in the parish. Sometimes
the committee was instructed "to
have respect upon them that are Sc
years old and upward, others to be
seated according their pay In one in
