Brigadier General Haskell Succum bed
After Greeting His old Command.
Columbus o.. Sept. 17.-BUgadier
General r. Haskell died suddenly at
his home at the Columbus post about
4:3O yesterday afternoon. He was
stricken with apoplexy, the excitement
through which he had passed during
the day being the immediate cause of
the attack. General Haskell command
ed the Seventeenth infantry at the
battle Of El Caney, and was wounded
i'm the left shoulder and knee. He came
home about a month ago, and was rap
idly recovering. The wound in his
shoulder, however, paralyzed his left
arm. Yesterday the Seventeenth regi-
ment returned home, and General Has
kell went to the depot in a carriage to
welcome his men. He rode at the head
of the regiment through the city, and
the cheers of the immense crowds of
people that lined the streets were di-
rected almost as much to him indi-
vidually as to the regiment. At the
reviewing stand the crowd surrounded
the carriage, and flowers were fairly
showered into the vehicle from every
side
AT 4:3O Captain Clay called at Gen
eral Haskelrs residence to pay his re-
spects. The general was resting at
the time, but came down stairs. They
had been engaged in conversation
about five minutes when General Has
kell suddenly started to his feet clasp
ed his hands to his head and then fell
to the floor Captain Clay sprang to
his assistance and was surprised to
find that his pulsp had ceased to beat
Post Surgeon Pitcher was called, and
stated that ueath was caused by apo
plexy Mrs. Haskell was prostrated by
her husbands death. Besides the wild
ow two sons survive.

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.
Time Detootor Put in Service in the Pos
once.

Time Detector Put in Service in the Post
once.
Uncle sam has apparently hit upon de-
vice which correctly keeps the time of SER
vice performed by his letter carriers and
post office clerks and makes distinctly
printed transcript of the record The old
gentleman was obliged to look about for some
device Of this kind because he found it i'm
possible to ctlectual supervise the time re-
corded in his thousands of offices and, con
sequently, found himself burdened with
claims amounting to thousands Of dollars for
extra work.
one Of the new time recorders was placed
in position in the local post office this morn
ing. 1t is a clock with intricate mechanism
within the lower case that apparently fills
the bill to a nicely. Each of the five carriers
is provided with three keys bearing his
number. One key he uses to record the time
when he starts out on trip,a second to record
the time he returns to the office, and the
third records the time his trip ends. No one
key will do the work Of another and key
once inserted cannot be withdrawn until the
initials on the key are recorded with the
time the record is made. The record is
made ON strip Of white paper in a con
tinuous roll and is printed automatically.
When the roll is exhausted it is forwarded to
the department at Washington 50
that the records of service by all
carriers and clerks will always be on
file for reference at any time claim
for extra time may be made. The following
is AN example of the record. If carrier No.
leaves the office with mail at 1918 he uses
the proper key and the clock records on the
slip II l. 10 IS" In other words No. I left
at 1918. Should he return at 11:2O the
proper key records 81 11;2O." Should the
trip end at 1890 the record will read, 81 f
1880" The carriers have nothing to do
with the inside mechanism of the clock
They simply use the proper key and the
clock does the rest The arrangement for
the clerks is practically the same as that for
the carriers, except that record is only
made when they arrive at and leave the
office Assistant Postmaster Reeves arunges
the clock the first thing in the morning, and
the clock tells the government the time that
he does it. Mr.. Reeves has separate key
for each day, month and year. besides two
keys to keep tally on his own working time
The clock also has gong attachment which
rings ! five minutes before the time the
carriers are to start on their routes and 2
when the time arrives for them to leave the
Office. failure on the part of any employc
to record according to rules or mistake
made in the record by the use of wrong
key, renders the employo liable to n repri-
lnand, suspension or dismissal

congregation to turn to n blank wall

knew. except that their forefathers had
done so, and had handed down the Gus

the origin of the custom was discov-

Most of the sweet apples remain firm
when baked, and are excellent eaten

the skin, which should remain on while
the apple is baking. Then the skin will
come off as thin as Il wafer. and leave
