PRIVATE MARKS IN WATCHES.
How Renairers Cnu Tell When and
Where Work Was Done.

| How Renairers Can Tell When and
| Where Work Was Done.
| There was crowd around the coun-
ter Of jewelry store where watches
are received for repairs. A woman who
was evidently In hurry made her way
| to the place where the man with the
magnifying glass stood, and handed q
little watch to him.
"Will you please ia,l Tue what ails
this watch2" shs asked.
| The watch doctor opened the case de-
liberately, peered into the works, and
| said: at needs cleaning"
my! that seems qiraSse,H said the
woman, "geu eIeaned 1t only few
months ago"
opened the case once more and made
another examination with the aid of q
miniature microscope. They h.p haHqr
ed the watch back and said: We
cleaned this watch in December, 1885,
and Ii has not been in our hands since
that time"
us that so2 | must be mistaken,
but bow do you know when 1t was
cleaned LAST"
The man explained that II was no
trick OF memary, but simply the result
OF system. Whichever a watch Is
brought to u.s." no said "to be cleaned,
regulated. repaired. or fixed up, we
put a tag on ii which is numbered TO
correspond with a number In our
work book. In the book we record the
styles and make OF The watch, the
owner, what repairs are to be made,
and the amount charged for the work,
and when the workman finishes the
job he puts the same number In Inicro1
scopic figures on the edge of the inner
case. A letter or sign also shows what
has been done to The - tch. So, you
see, when watch COMES here, we
look for a mark of that kind, and when
we find 1t we refer to the book, and
there you are"
The woman left the watch with the
man OF sFsieIa, and when she had gone
he said: THAT happens many times
a day. We have the most fun with the
people who say: You guaranteed tAla
watch for a year when you repaired
II, and here ii is out Of order again.
The glass usually reveals the fact that
the watch was due to break months
and sometimes years ago"
All watchmakers keep records and
mark the watches which are placed
with them for repairs. hat no two have
the same system. Some makers mark
the watch with the name of the work
man, and record number after II:
some mark the date and the workman's
initial on the case. and others have
signs in conjunction with these desig-
nations to show just what work has
been done on the timepiece.
The system of marking and recording
wacches is of much service TO he DO
lice also, and lost and stolen watches
are identified daily by means of the

THE REMEDY FOR TRUSTS.

What is the sense of holding trust
purpose of devising ways and means
dor doing away with the trust evil?
These conferences may be sincere
enough in their efforts to meet this
great and growing evil, but beyond
giving vent to rigorous denunciation
and more or less vigorous arguments
progress toward the suppression of
these combinations has been made?
Very little, if any, it must be acknow-
lodged. The great combines go ahead
in their work of plumber serenely in
different to their wordy antagonists.
There is but one form of attack up
on these combinations formed to gouge
the American consumer that the ma
5ority of trust magnates really fear
and this the majority of the trusts
have feared fom the eginning-name
ly, the removal of their artificial pro-
tsction under the tariff laws.
The tariff has been appropriately
called the mother of trusts, but this
may be varied to read: The trusts are
the mother of the modern Chinese wall
tariff-of the Mckinley, or Dingley
stripe-which is in existence-not for
the protection of American labor" as
Is advocates glibly claim, since the
products of American labor are sold
in all the markets of the world in
open competition with the products of
foreign "pauper" labor of every cline
but solely for the protection of the
trusts in their extortions upon the
American consumer. And this leads
us at once to the real and effective
remedy for the trust evil. Take away
sae tariff wall behind which the trusts
charge the American consumer double
the prices charged foreigners in foreign
markets for the same class of American
goods and in most instances the COM
bination to arbitrarily ma atain prices
will be rendered of no avail, since the
moment prices are artificially raised
foreign competition will step in as
wholesome check upon extortion
OF course this remedy will not reach
all of these pernicious combines, for
some of them do not depend upon arti-
fetal protection for their control of the

NO DANGER OF OUR INTERVENTION


! The London Standard evidently
Ahasnt kept in touch with the recent
progress of the administration at
Washington along imperial lines else
1t would not have committed the blum
der of supposing for a moment that
there was the remotest possibility of
Emperor Mckinley giving favorable
consideration to the recent petition
presented to him by the most distin-
guished and representative body of
citizens that ever appealed to Pres
ident of the United States, to offer me-
diation between England and the
Transvaal The Standard evidently
isn't aware of the marked change in
ideas and principles prevailing at
Washington since we, ourselves, en-
barked in the imperial earth grabbing
business, else our English contempo-
rary, apropos to the petition mentioned,
would not have uttered this mistaken
growl: ut is as well for those whom
it concerns, and particularly for those
whom it does not concern, to under
stand that Transvaal question is one
which exclusively affects ourselves and
which we propose to settle without
assistance or intervention of any kind"
This growl is quite unnecessary as a
warning and is rather indiscreet, for,
regardless of the administration S
views of such matters, the American
people are not used to being talked to
in that bullyragging fashion and won't
stand much of it without talking back
