THE CITY IS THRONGED WlTHvIslTORS

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 11.-What Jeru.
salem was to the Crusaders almost
thousand years ago was what this city
was to the Knights Temrlar today.
All night and early this morning,
every railroad leading into the city,
and every street car line entering from
the surrounding suburbs, was jammed
with cars, holding thousands and
thousands Of people. The railroads,
anticipating the rush, had made every
preparation to convey all corners to the
mecca of modern pilgrims, and, from q
radius OF several hundred miles the
towns, hamlets and villages literally
poured their population into Pitts.

There could not have been a more
beautiful day for the parade. The
hour of the parade was set for 10 a. m. !,
and from early dawn everybody was
astir at the headquarters OF the
different communicates, preparing for
the, marching. In the yards of the
railroad depots, and at the hotels, all
was life and hustle, and soon the first
troops Of plumed knights, dressed in
the full regalia of their various po-
sitions in the order, appeared on the
street. Here band was waiting upon

began. At Q O'Clock. all downtownl
streets were filled with marching de-
tachments. Seats had been erected alll
along the line of march, to accom-
modate 100000 people. Long before
the parade began to move, however, all
these seats were occupied. 1t is esti-
mated that the parade was made up of
upwards of 5000 uniformed knights,
and there were at least o million
spectators lined along the route of the
parade, which was seven miles long.
The head of the parade formed at the
corner of Cedar and North avenues

Some Facts Aho-t Ti,nspie crs which Many
Persons Are Not aware OF.

Persons Are Not aware OF.
Pearson's Weekly.
Open your watch ami look at the
wheels, springs and screws, each an
indispensable part of the whole won
derful machine. Notice the busy bal
ance wheel as it flies to and fro I'M
ceasingly day and night, year in and
year out. This wonderful little machine
is the result of hundreds of years of
study and experiment.
The watch carried by the average
man in composed of IS pieces, and its
manufacture embraces more than 1000
distinct and separate operations Some
of the smallest screws are SO minute
that the unaided eye cannot dis
tinguish them from steel filings or
specks Of dirt.
Under powerful magnifyiug glass a
perfect screw is revealed. The slit at
the head is one-fiftieth of an inch
wide. 1t takes $685. 200 Of these screws
to weigh pound, and pound is
worth E317.
The hairspring is strip of the
finest steel, about nine and one-half
inches long, one undredth of an inch
wide, one-fnur hundredth of an inch
thick. 1t is coiled up in spiral form
and finely tempered.
The process OF tempering these springs
was long held as a secret by the few
fortunate ones possessing it, and even
now it is not generally known. Their
manufacture requires great skill and
caro-. 3s5
Tho strip is gagged to one-fifth Of
an inch, but no measuring instrument
has as yet been devised capable Of fine
enough gauging to determine before
hand by the size of the strip what the
strength of the finished spring will be.
A INTERCHANGEABLE part OF an inch
difference in the thickness of the strip
makes difference in the running of q
watch of about six minutes pen hour.
The value of these springs when
finished and placed in watches is enor-
omus in proportion to the material
from which they are made. A ton Of
steel made up into hairsprings when
in watches is worth more than twelve
and one-half times the value of the
same weight in pure gold.
Hairspring wire weighs one
twentieth OF a grain to the inch. One
mile of wire weighs less than half a
pound. Tho balance gives five vibra-
tions every second, 800 every minute,
$4,000 every hour, 432, 600 every day,
and 157, $50, 900 every year.
At each vibration it rotates about
one and one-fourth times, which makes
1877, 100000 revolutions every year.
Take for illustration locomotive with
six-foot driving wheels.
Let its wheels be run until they have
given the same number of revolutions
that watch does in year. and they
will have covered distance equal to rs
complete circuits of tho earth.
All this watch does without other
attention than winding once every "a
hours. 53

Jack DAILY of this city, who is
known hero as G, j. Moriarity, de-
feotod Owen Ziegler Of Philadelphia
in a 25-round fight Monday night before
the Greater New York Athletic Club
of Concy Island.
The fight looked like any ones until
the end. In the 23d Ziegler almost
knocked DAILY out. DAILY saved himself
by clinching. He braccd up in the
25th and fought hard. AT tho end of
the. round the referee gave the fight to
DAILY. Tho decision wasreceived with
mingled cheers and Kisses.
The men stripped at 13s pounds and
appeared to be in perfect condition.
They agreed to box with one arm free.
They began operations slowly. DAILY
tapped Ziegler on the nose twice and
was raised off his feet by q hook ON
the stomach. They amhled clumsily
about the ring and led adequately,
Owen laying for the stomach and DAILY
for the head.
They mixed it up in the second
round and adopted chopping blows.
Each time Owen reached Jacks
stomach the Wilmington boy jumped
foot into the air. Ziegler was the
aggressor in the third and fourth. He
chased Jack across the ring and rushed
him to the ropes twice.
In the fifth Ziegler rushed him to
the ropes and put right swing full on
the mouth. DAILY tried to get away
and received right and left on the
neck, but he came back strong, and
BACKED OVENS left eye with u right
hook as the bell sounded.
DAILY continued to chop in the sixth
and seventh. All his blows, however,
landed on the shoulder. Ziegler
rammed three vicious lefts into the
stomach and made DAILY vince. Two
fierce mixups came in the eighth.
They stood within arms length of
each other and fought with both
hands. When the roughing was
through Ziegler was battered about
the face and Days nose was bleeding.
The next three rounds were fought
cautiously. Ziegler was the aggressor,
and DAILY backed around the ring
trying to fight at long range. In the
18th Owen rushed and both men went
into the ropes hard. In the rebound
they fell and rolled on the floor to-
gether. Little time was wasted in the
18th, they mixed it up right and left
and chased each other about the ring.
Several times each ran half round the
ring while the other pounded him on
the back. One of Daly's right hooks
raised o big lump over Ziegler's left
eye in the 10th and Jacks nose began
bleeding again.
The right from the 10Th to sd was a
series Of lunges and clinches. Neither
man landed hard or telling blow
during the time. In the ed, during a
mix.up, Owen sent right swing on
Days jaw that nearly put him out.
He tried to put in the finishing
touches, but DAILY clinched and lodged
until the bell rang. Jack came up
fairly strong in the oath and they
fought cautiously and clinched con-
tinually.
Both men were tired in the last
round, but started in to mix it up.
Jack rushed and hammered OWENS
damaged eye Iiogler sent his right
into the stomach twice and then on
the face. Both were bleeding and
came to close range and fought with
right and left viciously. They wore
clinched when tho bell rang.

tions, and this tendency in later life
she turned to active use. Her first
novel was 1.-THE Yelled Doctor" a
story OF Southern life, which showed
elements of strength and dramatic
power. The book was very well re-
ceived; and her second one, "a Ro-
nance of Summer Seas which ap-
peared about two months ago, shows a
great advance in storytelling power,
and is marked by a sprightly style and
an undercurrent of humor often verging
on wit. Miss Davis was just making
for herself position in the field Of
literature, when death stopped the busy
pen. But the love which was hers in
life goes beyond the grave, and holds
in tender recollection one who COM
bined in her person all that was noble,
gentle and true in Southern woman
hood. Fm4

In Berlin, when one pays his fare to
the conductor of a street car, he re-
ceiiyes a ticket, which is soon afterward
collected by an inspector, who boards
the car at q fixed point. One day, lust
as a joke, Mark Twain paid his fare is
times on one trip, each time throwing
the ticket out of the window or under
his seat as soon as he had deposited
the regular fare with the conductor. A
few minutes later the inspector would
get on the car and demand tickets all
around. OF course Twain had none to
show and had to buy another, appar-
entity with reluctance. The perform
ance amused the American, dumb
founded the conductor, who had never
met SO reckless passenger, and tickled
the native passengers, who thought the
foreigner well punished for his negli-
gence. By this modest investment ma.
terial was obtained for a.capital story,
which Melted Mark Twain Just $500.

THE DAUGHTER OF The cONfEpERACY.

The life OF Varina Anne jefferson
Davis, or Winnie Davis, as she was
more commonly called, began amid Tho
storms of war, June 9th, 1864, in the
White House Of the South, in Rich
mond. Miss Davis was educated in
France and Germany, and became her
fathers companion and secretary, and
assistant in his literary work. &
In social life Miss Davis took the
rank to which her birth, natural tai
ents, and education entitled her. Ac-
cording to q writer in Harper's Bazaar,
she was gracious in manner, kindly In
disposition, and counted her friends by
the score, without regard to lines, sec
tional or geographical. At an early age
she showed marked literary inolina-
