LARGEST WATCH FINISHED.
Mammoth Timepiece Required Year
to Build and Cost $1,000.

The largest watch in the world
has just been finished by a watch
manufacturing company of Boston.
The mammoth timepiece was built
for a watch company in Manhattan,
which will pace it in the front of it's
Fulton street store for advertising
purposes. Work has been in progress
for some time on the foundation, and
it is expected that the watch viii be
in place and indicating the time of day
in about week. 1t is not an adver-
Using watch in the sense that such
instruments usually are, but it is a
timepiece of the highest order. The
works are equal to any that have ever
been made, and the unusual size of
them makes it possible to employ adj
justments and error-correcting devices
that could not be used in an ordinary
watch. Beside the usual adjustments
for heat and cold, ETC., that are to be
found in all good works, this watch
contains adjustments for correcting
astronomical variations and changes
of cycles. In addition to this the case
is plated with 22-carat gold.
When placed upon it's seven-foot
pedestal the top of the timepiece will
be fifteen feet above the sidewalk.
To the pedestal will be affixed several
long rods that will extend through the
sidewalk and will be bolted to the
cellar foundation. The watch has no
back, but is a double dial, so that tn ;
time may be distinguished from both
directions. At night the interior will
be Illuminated with electric lights. SO
that the dials can be seen at dis
lance of several blocks. The faces Of
the watch are more than four feet
across. The watch, including the
stem and ring, is about six feet high.
The timepiece had to be made I'M
usually thick in proportion to the
diameter, as the lights inside could
not be brought into close contact with
the dials and works. But its thick
ness of two feet will not appear to be
so great, as it is surmounted by an
immense stem ten inches in diameter.
The crystals are three feet in
diameter and will produce a telescope
effect to the distant observer, so that
the hands can be readily distinguished
for blocks away.
Several thousand dollars worth of
22-carat gold VIII be used in the case,
and this will stand upon the sidewalk
night and day every day in the year.
AS the whole affair weighs two and q
nalf tons it is not feared that any one
will carry it away surreptitionsly. 1t
has taken nearly year to build the
watch, and by the time it is placed the
whole thing will have cost about

Easter SONG.

When Earth's long night was past
Darkness was merged in light,
And wave and shore at last
Welcomed the gladdening sight;
Sing, stars of morning, sing!
Ye have been silent long;
Sing! once the sons of God 1
Rejoiced to hear your song!
Another night is done,
A brighter morning breaks,
And waiting hope, reborn,
With gladdening smiles awakes.
Wake, every flower Of spring!
Henceforth from this glad hour
With fragrant pulses sing,
The grave has no more power!
Let every hill rejoice,
The valleys shout and sing,
Lifting each tuneful voice,
He comes, our risen King!
Wake, slumbering heart, awake!
Thy Lord is risen, he waits,
And pleads for entrance while
He stands beside thy gates;
Sing, every heart; each room
Resound, silent before,
Nor keep the Prince of Peace
Waiting beside thy door!
Glory to God, the theme
Fill all the vault above!
Glory to God, the Dream
Song of redeeming love!

TO SAVE MISS STONE,
Her Friends Are Working Enerret-
ical1y.


ica11y.
Boston, Oct. S.-The urgency Of the
case OF Miss Stone, the missionary held
for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria,
brought together for two hours yester-
day the members of the prudential
committee of the American board.
Later the committee issued a state
ment based upon the views of Presi-
dent Samuel b. Capeno of the board,
and the secretary Rev. DR.. Judson
Smith. as the result of their visit to
Washington Saturday Bath gentle
men had interviews with President
Roosevelt and the officials of the state
department. 1t was made plain to
them, they told the prudential commit
tee, that the only certain way to secure
the release of Miss Stone and save her
life would be the payment of the ran
som. The committee was informed
that the government, because of the
constitutional restriction, is unable to
pay the ransom. The committee is also
made aware Of the fact that the Amer
lean board has no money with which
to save Miss Stone. The only practical
way, therefore, was shown to be a pop
ular subscription, which already has
been started. The committee heartily
approved this and began sending tele-
grams to many parts of the country
urging subscriptions.

IN the court of inquiry against admit
ting as evidence an editorial published
oy an Eastern newspaper, in which the
rear admiral was criticised harshly.
RMS incident developed during the
reading of the correspondence relating
to the controversy between Rear Ad-
miral Schley and Lieut.. Hodgson.
Almost the entire day was devoted to
reading this correspondence and every
thing went smoothly until Judge Ad-
vocate Lemly started to read the edi-
torial in question. Mr.. Rayner object
ed on the ground that Schley had not
read it, that it did not relate to the
correspondence, and that, If it was adj
m1tted, other matter of similar char
acter would be brought in and the in
curry would never end.
After listening to the arguments the
court retired for consultation. Upon
returning to the courtroom Admiral
Dewey announced that such newspaper
articles as related to the controversy

correspondence would be accepted as
evidence.
These papers are quite voluminous,
and when the court adjourned Judge
Advocate Lenyy had not completed
the task.
Capt. Lemly produced what he
termed the Original of the Dear
Schley' letter. written by Sampson. In
this letter appeared the word "Santi-
ago." hich was manifestly mistake,
and. taken in connection with the text
of the letter. evidently should have
been 'Sienfuegos.' This was the let
ter ordering Cchley to remain at Glen
fuegos.
In the departments copy the word
was written "Sontiago," but this was
written over an erasure The word
which had been erased was "Cienfue-
gos,' but it had not been scratched out
entirely.
The departments letter was identical
with the copy in the letter copybook.
