Admiral kautz's Report from Samoa.
Washington.

Washington May 15.-Secretary
Long, today, made public so much of a
recent report from Admiral Kautz upon
Samoan affairs as touches the killing of
number of American sailors by Mata-
faa adherents near Apia. on the 1st of
April. The report is an elebroation of
the description of the affair cabled at
the time by The Associated Press from
Auckland. 1t is shown that the failure
of the Colt gun to work properly was
in a large measure the cause of the
American and British defeat. The
enemy beheaded the officers killed and
in the case of enlisted men cut off the
right ears of the British and both ears
of the Americans. Lieut. Freeman al
so had his ears suit off.

A GOOD CHANCE
For Two Young Ladies at the City Hospital
Training School.

There are now chances for the adj
mission of two mere young ladies to
the training school for nurses at the
Augusta city hospital. No young lady
should apply for admission vino has
not had the advantages of at least a
good common school education. There
should be also genuine love and apti-
tude for the work. There is no nobler
or more eXacting calling in which
women can engage: but it is one which
should be entered upon only in a spirit
of serious and earnest purpose. This
is. too. almost the only profession
which supports a young lady while she
is acquiring it. From the time she
enters the hospital she is cared for by
it. The first month is one of probation,
during which her services are free.
After this. if she continues in the
school, she receives eight dollars
month for the remainder of her first
year. and ten dollars a month for the
second year of her course. But this is
by no means all she receives. During
sickness she is cared for at the eX-
pense of the hospital. All her instruc
ton is also free. This includes q regu-
lar course of lectures from members of
the medical staff, together with text
book study and bedside training under
the direction of the matron. There
are hundreds of young ladies working
long and combining hours for small pay
to whom such a training as this would
open up a vastly wider and more con-
genial field of usefulness. No girl.
however. should ever enter training
school for nurses who is not possessed
of good physical health and inspired by
genuine love of the work. A months
trial usually determines whether or not
one is fitted for such calling. All APP
plications for admission to the training
school at the Augusta City hospital
should be made to Mrs. Sarah Hayden.
the matron. who will furnish all needed
information relative TO requirements
and regulations.

PHIlADELPHlA'S BIG CLOCK.
Il Has The Monopoly In Other Things Beside Size.
Cost $21,0 900.

The largest clock in this country and
the highest clock in the world accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record, was
started i'm the city hall tower at mid
night New Years eve. All things con-
sidered. il Is the greatest clock in size
and i'm Importance in the world, al
though there are two clocks with
greater dials.
one of these great clocks adorns the
steeple OF Mechln cathedral one of
the finest old Gothic edifices in Bel
gium. The dials are 40 feet in diameter
and the movement is much simplifed
by the omission OF the minute hand.
1t is likely that the big dials that
loom up over Westminster bridge, Lon
don. in the tall tower OF the Houses OF
Parliament, are better known than the
greater timepiece in Mechlin. These
dials are six inches more in diameter
than those OF the city hall clock, but the
clock is operated in manner now
nearly Obsolete, although the timepiece
was installed as recently as 1893. The
London clock has dials 22l9 feet I'm dia-
meter and is operated by means OF
weights, to wind which requires the
services of two men four days week.
The city hall clock stands $40 feet
above the pavement that in the Mech
lin cathedral nearly 300 feet, and the
one I'm Westminster Palace 40 feet
above the street level.
Up to the present the city hall clock
has cost about $4,000. The motive
power is compressed air. and the Wis.,
itor TO the clock story in the tall tower
is astonished To find there are no
works" to be seen. The ponderous
hands on the four dials are operated
by means OF air under great pressure
forced through tubes. and all four pairs
OF hands are controlled by one little
master clock. that could easily be set
on library mantelpiece.
This little clock. as IL ticks the min
utes. received by telegraph from Wash
ington observatory. in turn releases the
compressed air, and over each dial 400
pounds of hands are pushed forward.
The hands are moved every half min
ute and the jump of the minute hand
from half minute To half minute is six
and one-half inches. The pressure eX
erted is 200 pounds-sufficient. IL is said.
To drive the hands under any weather
condition.
However, electricity is really the
power which governs the workings of
the clock. and by ingenious automatic
appliances IL IL believed that any lapse
by electricity will be Immediately taken
up by the relief motors.
Another peculiarty OF the clock is
the absence OF figures on the dials.
