thus blindfolded he was led out to die.
His grave was already dug, and they

fourth was to deal the death blow,

The firing party were in charge OF

Strasburg's Astronomical Clock.

The celebrated astronomical clock Of
Strasburg is in the minister, or cathe-
dral, and was originally designed by
an astronomer named Isaac Habrecht,
in the early part of the sixteenth CEN
fury. Previous to this time, in fact as
early as 1854, Strasburg had an as
Economical clock. 1t was in three
parts. The lower part had universal
calendar, the central part an astro-
labe, and in the upper division were
figures of the three Magi and the Vir-
gin. At every hour the Magi came
forward and bowed to the Virgin; at
the same time chime was played, and
a mechanical cock crew. This clock
Of the Magi, as it was called, stopped
in the early part of the sixteenth CEN
fury, and was replaced by clock
made by Habrecht, which ran until
1889, when it stopped, and all at
tempts to put it's works in order
failed. In 1888 a clockmaker named
Schwilgue undertook to remodel the
internal machinery, and finished it in
1912. .g sa, r'~ a.

Ghetto Pet II Killed.

Dick, the prize donkey Of the ghetto,
is dead, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
He had courted death for years past
on the railroad tracks at the Sixteenth
street crossing and had many escapes.
Yesterday the prediction of many came
true. Dick was struck by Calumet
and Chicago Terminal train and killed
instantly. The donkey was general
pet in the ghetto, and for years had
been owned by Mrs. Mary Toomey, a
widow of No. 10S West Fifteenth street.
The long-eared animal was known to
the residents for miles around, and 1t
became noted long ago for its hatred
for policemen or anybody wearing
brass buttons and club.

Exports Of Manufactures.

Prior to 1893 imports of manufac-
lures always exceeded exports OF man
ufactures. In 1888 imports Of manu-
features were 2k times. the amount OF
exports of manufactures; in 1893 they
were still more than double the
amount of the exports: in 1896 they
were nearly so per cent greater than
the exports, and in 1898 for the first
time, the exports of manufactures
were greater than the imports of man
ufactures, the figures for that year be-
ing, respectively: Imports of manu-
features, $226, 100000; exports of man
ufactures, $290,000,OO0. Since that
time exports Of manufactures have
steadily increased and, for the year
Just ended, will exceed the imports Of

Industrially the foreign element -
America has been very important, says
Ainslee's Magazine. More than ninety
per cent Of the immigrants who hava
come and are coming to this country
are industrious and sober. They come
to better their fortunes, and they set
about doing 1t with great energy. Tnes
railroads and great public works inl
this country used to be built BY Irisnl
laborers. am speaking In generala
terms. Without them we would NOS
have been able to make the great prog
ress which justlfes us In believing
that our growth in wealth during the
past thirty years is more marvellous !.
than anything the world has previous
ly seen. But the Irish have found 9th
er occupations, in which they can
crafty their gregarious instincts, de-
$velop their wonderful talent for politl-
Ical organization, and in large and
small ways enjoy the independence to
spend and to accumulate which was
denied to them for so long at home.
They have therefore settled in great
measure in the cities and taken up the
occupations that in such places are
open to them. These occupations range
all the way from street sweeping 70
millionaire fnanciering, and include
cab driving, car driving, being porters,
,barkeepers, clerks, merchants, doctors,
lawyers and editors. AS professional
politicians they have had no peers IN
the history of the world. They may
ibe said to have genius for politics.
And the Irish who had not focked to
the cities are doing remarkably well.
They are farmers all over the country.
and their success in the North Allan
tic division of the country, on farms
that were no longer profitable under.
native management, has been most
notable. AS husbandmen they are fru-
gal without being niggardly. Their
remarkable political strength is due to
the fact that they have kept together
when it came to voting more consist
emily than any other people. Thack-
cray says somewhere, his observation
being of the Irish in London, that there
never was an Irishman so poor that he
did not have another Irishman who
looked to him for enjoyment and sup
port. This was a tribute to their loy-.
atty, their friendliness and generos-
fly.
