The CLOCK AND IT'S History. -
The clock is composed of statuettes
OF three nymphs standing, and call
ed "The Three Graces " They are
connected ny festoous of flowers,
surrounding broken pillar, which
serves as the base of n two-handed
vase, decorated with festoons of oak
leaves This vase contains the
works of the clock, to the dial of
which one of the nymphs is point
ing with her finger. Diderot, the
famous philosopher, in speaking of
these figures, said that they showed
everything except the houro-a de-
licate French allusion to their mud
ity.
II is well known that this remark
able specimen was bought for 1O1, e.
0O0fr. at the sale of the collection Of
Baron Double in 1881. Count Abra-
ham de Camondo, the father of its
present owner, was the buyer, and
at the time everyone said it was
madness to pay such a price. But
what is less known is that Baron
| Double bought the clock in 1855 of
M. Mannheim pere | went for in
formation to his son, Mr.. Charles
Mannheim, the famous expert, who
told me smiling at the recollection.
that in spite of the advice of his
father who considered the clock too
fragile and the figures too nude, he
bought the clock on his own initia-
tive although he was then only
twenty two years of age), at Frank
fort, where he was then living, of
a dealer who had paid 1,jOOfr for
it, His father wanted to sell the
clock to Baron Double for G,000fr
but he objected offering to pay that
price for it himself Ihereupon NJ.
Mannheim pere sold the clock to
Baron Double for 7O0Ofr
The most interesting fact in con
nection with this clock is, that ir.
j. Laligan of the Place Vandome
Paris has offered the Count Camondo
one million two hundred and fifty
thousand frances for it, He has re-
fused that sum and another dealer
has bid up to 1900, 200 francs in
hope of securing it.
The conscientious owner replies
that he has bequeathed the clock to
the museum of the Louvre Paris,
and therefore feels that lie has no
right to accept these munificent off
ers.

There are reasons for the belief
that the Democratic National Com
mittee is concocting a scheme for
the wholesale purchase of small
German papers, in order to try to
create the impression that there is
an extensive Bryan sentiment among
the German voters. A gentleman
who claims to know something
of the details of this scheme said ~
know that the Democratic Commit
tee has large fund which is said to
be used exclusively on the German
press. 1t has a number of Germans
employed to work the German edi-
tors Cash will be paid for Bryan
matter in German papers when edi-
tors are willing to accept it, and
when they refuse to sell the politi-
cal policies OF their papers the pap
ers will bought outright if possible,
and turned into Bryan organs"
This scheme will enable few Ger
man editors to unload improbable
newspaper properties upon the DEM
ocratic Committee, but to assume
that it will make any considerable
numbers of voters is au insult to the
intelligence of our German citizens,
who are about as hard to bunco as
any class of our people. The aver
age German certainly thinks before
he acts, and if he finds that his pap
er has changed its politics he will
know why and will simply drop it
and subscribe to another that advo-
Gates a continuance of prosperity.
No paper has any influence that
does not advocate the political opin-
ions of its subscribers. Big news
papers have sunk thousands of dol
lars in learning that lesson.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c., AUG 13, 1900.
President Mckinley, by the aid of
his special wire and the long dis
tance telephone, keeps just as we'll
posted in Canton on the news from
China as be could if he were in the
White House. Every official mes
sage sent to China has been dictated
by him. The message sent to Min
lister Conger, in answer to his ex-
posure of the fraud practiced by the
Chinese Government upon the for
eign ministers in Pekin by telling
them that their governments were
urging that they be sent to Tien
Tsin under escort. has not been and
will not be made public. Mr.. Con-
ger had been previously instructed
to remain in Pekin until the arrival
of the allied army, and the fact that
Russia has instructed its Minister to
leave Pekin under q Chinese escort
will not change Mr.. Conger's in
structions. This government has
nothing to do with the landing of
British troops at Shang hal; conse-
quently no action will be taken on
the request of Ii Hung Chang that
it use its good offices to prevent their
being landed.

Another aged and life long resi-.
dent of Pike county went to rest
Tuesday when Mr. Williamson died
at the home of his daughter in New
York His age was nearly eighty
five years. Elrly in life he came to
Milford and opened tailor shop
Here he married Ellen, a daughter
of DR.. George F. Shotwell, who died
some three years ago. Som after
he returned to LackawaXen where
he became station agent for the Eric

.ued until a fire destroyed his proper

not overcome his financial loss and
early in the seventies was compelled
to rellnquish business. He was
elected coroner in 1858 and in 1878
ran for representative but was de-
feated by his nephew, Carleton A.
Smith. He was elected Sheri If of

Another man who sees things
about as Col. Parker does is Mr..
Chas. W. Griffin, a Massachusetts,
business man, now in Washington,
who said: "Tbe people are not talk
ing politics in New England. Ev-
eryone regards the election of Nc
Kinley as a foregone conc lusion,
and the fact of the matter is, the
people are too busy and too prosper
Gus to waste their time on what they
regard as an impossible contingency.
In my opinion, Mr. Bryan stands not
the slightest chance for election, al
though 1 will admit that too much
confidence is sometimes dangerous
in politics.

Chinese are dangerous enemies,
for they are treacherous. That's
why all counterfeits of DeWitt's
witch hazel salve are dangerous.
They look like DeWitt's, but instead
of the all, healing witch hazel they
all contain ingredients liable to irri-
tate the skin and cause blood poison
ing. For piles, injuries and skin dis
eases use the original and genuine
DeWitt's witch hazel salve

To Save her Children

From frightful Disagreement Mrs.

great sores on her head and face,

The wolf in the fable puton sleeps
clothing because if he Travelled on his
own reputation he couldn't accom-
plish his purpose. Counterfeiters
of peWitt's witch hazel salve could
mt sell their worthless salves on
their merits, so they put them in
boxes and wrappers like DeWitt's.
Look out for them. Take only De
Wits witch hazel salve. 1t cures

Col. M. NJ Parker, National Com
mltteeman for the District of Col
umbla, who has just returned from
a visit to Canada, is one of those
who does not regard the calm as in
dicating Republican over confidence,
but as indicating absolute certainty
that Mckinley aud Roosevelt are to
be elected and the present prosper
Gus times continued indefinitely.
Col. Parker said :"While on my way
home I stopped at several places in
the Eastern States, but 1 heard no
politics, saw no badges, and found
as little interest taken in politics as
in any off year. The county is pros

Notes on the Demo- Primary.

NObtb Oil bhS ObAhO illdA
What was Mike running for?
They ought to call it the Westo-
cratic party now.
The flow of German beer was shut
off short Saturday night.
Peters ran well before the primary
but petered out when the votes were
counted.
Circulars always prove to be
boomerangs to the party first throw
ing them.
We sympathize with those who fell
out side the breastworks, they know
how it feels TO be Spaniard.
How much do we hear for Pixies
conferees? Don't all bid at once gen
tlemen. The price will be high.
Intimations are freely indulged
that Mike put his money where it
did Westbrook the most good.
The spot is not green with Sham
rock. Jal,es little hatchet cut it all
up into hooppoles and smithareens.
Now Mike viii you be good boy,
always vote the ticket straight, and
let the other fellows have the offices.
The Demobrook primary shows
that the ring is still unbroken. No
one outside the charmed circle need
apply.
Vote the Demopop ticket all your
lives and work for it, but when it
comes to asking for Office no Irish
need apply.
They are saying that Jake and 10
pulled together in the upper town

ones. The vote shows where Mixes

cAPT. JUSTIN NILS.

Inc end to long and useful life
came Friday, Aug. 10th, when Capt.
Mills, as he was generally known,
died at his home at Edgemere, Dela-
aware township.
He was ason of Peter and Antoin-
cite Mills and was born in Belgium
May IL, 1920. After receiving his
education in Brussels college he came
with his parents to America i'm 1912
to New York. Jan. 1, 1917 he mar
ried Miss Isabella Montgomery, who
died in 1887. lie engaged in teaching
and other occupations in the city un-
til the breaking out of the civil war,
when, Sept. %, 1861, he enlisted and
was elected captain of Co. ID, 19 N.
Y. S. Vol. which company he raised.
He served three years and was in
several skirmishes. At the end of
his term he was honorably discharg-
ed and being broken in health did
not reenlist.
He then taught for several years in
Charlier Institute, New York, and in
1890 came to this county to reside
with his family, which came here in
1864, locating at Silver Lake. In
1892 he married Miss Julia A. Den
mis- who with two sons by his former
wife, Rupert p, of Lehman, and
Pierre NJ, county commissioner, of
Delaware, survive him. Capt. Mills
was man ofwideattainments, active
mind, agreeable in manners and the
soul of honor in all affairs. He has
left high record as a last heritage
not only to his family but to his
neighbors and the communities in
which he has lived. The world is
better for such lives and they shed a
lustre which brightens the circle
which they adorn. The funeral OBJ
sequies conducted by Rev. G. S. Gar
retson were held Sunday and inter
ment in the Dingman cemetery. He
was also a member of Col. Nyce Post
G. a. r. whose members officiated
as pail bearers at the services.
Following are resolutions adopted
by the Edgemere Club which express
the feelings which those who came
closely in contact with and best
knew him hold respecting in his
character;
Edgemere, Pike Co., Pa,
August 10, 1900
Whereas. The Edgemere Club
learns with deep regret of the death
on this date of Captain Justin Mills /;
and
Whereas. Captain Mills, by his
uprigbtness and probity his exten-
sive information and modesty; his
cEeerfulness, uniform courtesy and
untiring industry, won the universal
esteem and confidence of the people
| OF Pike county, and was till his
death to-day one of the Oldest and
most respected residents of this re-
gion and a model for the emulation
of its youth, and
Whereas. The evidence of his in
tclligeuce and industry are every
where visible over the beautiful pro-
perty owned by this club, won by
by him from the primeval forest
therefore
Be it Resolved That the Edge
mere Club tends to Mrs. Justin Mills
and Captain Miss sons it's sincere
sympathy in the loss they have sus
tained and
Be it further Resolved That a
copy of these Resolutions be trans
mitted to Mrs. Justin Mills.
