A CURIOUS CLOCK. =.

1t Shows the Entire Working of . kAil-
way Depot.
A curious clock has been made by a
clockmaker of Warsaw named Gold
fadon, who has worked on it six years.
The clock, according to the Railway
News-Reporter. represents railway
station, with waiting rooms for the
traveller, telegraph and ticket rooms, a
very pretty, well-lighted platform and
a flower garden, in the center of which
is a sprinkling fountain of clear water
Past the railway station runs the lines.
There are also signal-boxes, signals,
lights and reservoirs-in fact, every
thing that belongs to railway station
to the smallest detail.
In the eupola of the central tower is
clock which shows the time of the
place; two clocks in the side cupolas
show the time at New York and Peking,
and on the two OutermOst towers are u
calendar and barometer. Every quar-
ter of an hour the station begins to
show signs of life. First of all, the tel
egraph official begins to work. He dis
patches telegram stating that the
line is clear. The doors open and on
the platform appear the stationmaster
and his assistant; the clerk is seen at
the window of the ticket-office and the
pointsmen come out of their boxes and
close the barriers.
A long line of people form at the
ticket Office to buy tickets; porters car
ry luggage; the bell is rung, and then
out of the tunnel comes a train, rush
ing into the station and, after the en-
gine has given a shrill whistle, stops.
A workman goes from carriage to car
riage and tests the axlcs with ham,
mer. Another pumps water into the
boiler of the engine. After the third
signal with the bell the engine whistles
and the train disappears in the oppo-
site tunnel; the stationmaster and his
assistants leave the platform and the
doors of the waiting-room close behind
them; the pointsmen return into their
boxes and perfect stiffness prevails.

Worlds to Conquer.
If the name of Emperor William does
not appear in the catalogue of the exhi-
bition of the Berlin academy of arts
that opens shortly, the hanging COM
miSsee of that institution had better
look out for squalls. If they were to
reject the picture he has sent in, the
kaiser would be quite capable of order
ing them out to instant execution. or
of writing down the exhibition in the
columns of any newspaper that would
accept imperial art criticism. The
painting represents, we are told, "a
maneuver at sea, black clouds Of smoke,
torpedoes, guns and boats tossed upon
raging waves" The description is
rather incoherent. Probably the pic
ture is, too. But there is no fear that
the loyal Berliners will be deprived of
the chance of feasting their eyes upon
it. There is one magnificent feature
about the canvas that would secure its
acceptance in almost any exhibition in
the world. That is the signature,
civilian I. R., 1885," which appears in
the right hand corner. The effect
which these simple words and figures
will produce upon the minds of humble
minded believers in the divine right of
kings could not be equaled by any
artist in Europe.
All the great ones of the earth seem
to be going in either for art or litera-
ture nowadays. Prince Nicholas of
Montenegro has just completed drama

and afterward published in st. Peters

Cor,nth Canal Not /. Great success.

Owing to the insufficient width OF the
Corinth canal, the steepness OF its sides
and the current, which at times be-
comes exceedingly strong, none OF the
great steamship lines of the Mediter-
ranean sea have yet adopted this route,
although it would result in the saving
of much time, and, consequently, ex-
pense. Under the circumstances, it
looks very much as il this enterprise,

brought to termination only about
two years ago. is destined to result in

Might Have Been Guaranteed.
Through the kindness of w. H.
Hoogs, Messrs. Fitzgerald and Greene
of the Labor Commission were taken
to the lands of the Makaha Coffee
Company Saturday They remained at
that place and in the neighbornood
until Sunday, when they returned to
the city.
On Sunday Mr.. J. B. Castle tele-
phoned down to Makaha and asked
Messrs. Fitzgerald and Greene to pay a
visit TO the quarantine station as soon
as they arrived in the city in the aft
ernoon. to witness the mode of in
vestigation of Japanese immigrants IN
regard to the lawfulness of their land
ing on Hawaiian soil. The arrange
ments were all made, and it was set
tied that the visitors should go to the
quarantine station.
1t seems that they had been riding
quite good deal during Saturday and
Sunday, inspecting various places of
interest and shooting wild turkeys. In
consequence of these facts they were
very much wearied, and upon return
ing to the city, went straight
to their rooms on Hotel street and
turned in, unmindful of the Japanese
at the quarantine station.
When seen yesterday the faces of the
gentlemen wore an expression OF great
satisfaction. Had they gone to the
quarantine station it would have meant
a cessation of their important work for
at least Is days.

The Washington section Of the Social
Labor party met yesterday afternoon at
No. 6O9 c street northwest There was
large attendance, there being a number
of ladies present, and President Arthur

Several addresses were made, the Qrift

and the changes which brought it about

which produce them, there seemed to be

agreement as to the best methods of lelief
One of the speak kers, Mr.. I Peacham, ventuTed
to suggest that it would be q good plan
in the future TO combine forccst with the
political party which, To the greatest ex-
tent, favored the demands and principles
of the Socialists. All the other speakers,
however, opposed this plan ON the ground
that it would result in the disintegra ton
of the Socialists and that any way in the
end they would be betrayed by those they
would befriend.
Mr.. Ralph Beaumont gave history of
the conditions which have affected the
Iaboring classes for century or more. He
favored the government ownership of rail-
roads and telegraph and other industries,
and also paid his respects to the United
States Supreme Court.
Mr. Peacham held that relief could be
found OILY in the abolishment of the in
dividual capitalistic system, and that the
worker could only hope for a betterment of
his condition through the efforts of his fell
lowlaborer.
Mr. Keep made a strong appeal to the
socialists to keep the party intact and not
trust to combines with others He believed
in training the guns of the forces on the
citadel of capital and In time the weak
kneed would fall into line.
Mr.. Nathan Reitenthal attacked the local
labor leaders, whom he characterized as a
lot of jackasses. He also read an original
poem, entitled Rise. Workers. Rise Miss

Mr.. L, K. Washburn Expresses His

Mr.. l.. X. Washburn, of Boston, addressed
alarge audience at the Typographical Tenn
pie, on g street near Fourth northwest,
last night, the subject of his lecture being
Are you saved or are you damned?'
The speaker said that when he learned
that jefferson, Paine. Rousseau, Bruno,
Servitus and most scientific men of all
ages were condemned to hell by the Chris
tian Church, and that Noah. Lot, David,
Ezekiel, Calvin and Knox were in heaven
he at once asked for the same fate.
The Christian church, he said, ought to
be ashamed OF itself for keeping up the
old theory of hell fire in the creed. 'It
is unciviliZed. Chris tianity stands on
mammoth pedestal of falsehood and total
depravity. For myself, the speaker con-
tnUed, II would not eternaily punish
any Christian for his creed The doc
trine of vicarious atonement strikes at the
very foundations OF morality"

Indications That Charges Against

The Bessie Stacey theft case, which was
cles some weeks ago, will probably fur

is finally closed.

Schaefer for the theft of a quantity Of
icwelry, which included diamond brace
be no question as to the young woman's 5
guilt, and about two weeks ago she was
indicted by the grand jury Oh "a charge of
larceny. Owing to the peculiar features
surrounding the thefts and the prominence
of the girls family, many people thought
that some compromise would be reached
by which the prosecution would be aban-
doned.
Yesterday il was rumoTed that Miss
Stacey and her mother had secretly left
their home, at the corner of Tenth and X
streets northwest, and that their where
ahouts were unknown. The mutual infer
ence TO be drawn from their leaving at
to come up for trial. was either that the
case had been abandoned by consent of
the prosecuting witnesses, Messrs. Harris
s Schaerer, OF that the defendant mad
forfeited her bail.
A Times reporter called at the Stacey
house last evening, when he was told
that Mrs. Stacey and her daughter had
left there two days before This was
Stacey, y no formerly hoarded at the house.
Major Stacey said he knew nothing of
either Miss Stacey or her mother, as ste
had not taken him into her confidence,
and that he had no idea where they were
at the present time.
Lawyer Campbell Darlington, counsel for
Miss Stacey, refused TO say anything with
regard to the case, but he intimated that
he would have no hesitation in talking
about the matter within the peXt Few
days.
District Attorney Davis said that the
case against the young white girl had not
been abandoned yet, but that he was await
ing the disposition Of the prosecuting wit
ncsses, Messrs. Harris & Schaefer He
would not say they had not considered an
abandonment, however, but added that he
did net care 10 discuss the matter until

Harris * Schaefer said they had not aban-
doned the case, and when asked If they
intended 10 do so, they declined TO give
definite answer.
The secrecy maintained by all in any way
connected with the case furnishes good
ground for the belief that the case against
