soon after he was chosen president of thu

up: what can be done for the increased

END OF FAMOUS HosTELRY.

Morrisons hotel, one OF the old land
marks of Dublin, is being razed to the
ground to afford a site for Offices for an
insurance company. The building has his
toric associations for Irishmen, and was
once among the best patronized and most
popular hotels in Dublin. 1t was famous as
Parnells resort.
It was originally one OF the town houses
Of the Fitzgerald family, who owned great
deal of property in the vicinity. including
the famous Leinster house. Over the door
of the hotel at the present day are the
Fitzgerald arms. and in the supports are
prominent figures Of two monkeys, in COM
memoration of a striking family incident.
When old Kilkee castle, one Of the seats
of the Fftzgeralds took Are, the heir to
the estate was saved by monkey. which
took the infant in his arms and clambered
from point to point with its precious bur-
den, finally reaching the ground with it In
safety.
Parnell's first arrest was effected at Nor
rison's hotel on October 13, 1881. Parnell
was thence taken to Kilmainam JAIL where
he was confined as suspect" until the fol-
lowing May. 1t was at this hotel that Par
nell's friend. the late DR.. j. E. Kenny, dis
covered Parnells extraordinary superstition
Going into his writing room one day. Par
nell saw green cloth on the table. He at
once had 1t removed, and the same evening
he refused to enter another room in the
hotel in which three candles were burning
Three candlesticks are supposed In the minds
of superstiticus people to mean death, and a
green tablecloth foretells disaster. Parnell
more than once said that the Irish cause
would never prosper until the Irish people
discarded green as their national color for
the older blue.
When in Dublin Parnell always stayed
at Morrison's up to the time Of his death
1t was there he outlined the national pro-
gram and the agrarian movements in Ire
land.-LondOn Mail.

HIS MANIA FOR CLOCKS.
IneniOus Frenchman Has Constructed
Many Curious Timepieces.

Inenious Frenchman Has Constructed
Many Curious Timepieces.
One OF the most ingenious mechanics in
the world is a Frenchman named LIE Bouliat
living at La Coutaness, who has made him
self famous for the curious clocks he manu-
features. He can make clock out of almost
any conceivable material. Straw and paper
are among the raw materials he uses. For
20 years he has been manufacturing freak
clocks and most Frenchmen who want SINE
thing out of the common in that line apply
to lie BOullat.
A while ago he turned lot Of newspapers
into pulp, mixed it with hardening sub
stance and carved the clock out Of the COM
pound Even the wheels and all the ma
chinery Of the clock were made of this ma
terial Naturally this curious clock does
ia that it goes at all. The newspaper clock
ia one of Mr. LIE Boullat's latest triumphs.
Another of his designs appears to be mere
ly collection of large and small sticks held
together by wires. 1t is only upon close in
spection that one sees that it Is clock con-
structed on excellent principles. It keeps
very fair time, never varying more than
two minutes a week.
Now and then the clockmaker receives
commissions from wealthy Frenchme en- for
clocks of unique design in silver or gold
decorated with precious stones. Some OF
these clocks are entirely made Ct gold, with
diamond tipped hands, and rubies, garnets
pearls opas and emeralds to represent the
figures on the dial. Some of his clocks are
beautiful works of art and a few Of the most
interesting specimens are among the small
est of timepieces.
The representative., 1901-05-09

In his mind. could cut no figure in the
arithmetic he gives.
But want to ask Dukes II he himself
is not blinded by prejudice, why it is
that he cannot quote the law as pre-
sented in the Representative Of April
1S correctly? He quotes the letter
got from Ellis H. Roberts, Of April 6.
and then deliberately falsifies the state
ment made by Mr.. Roberts 90 as to make
1t appears that gold coins which are be-
low the standard Of tolerance provided
by law are not a legal tender, when he
must have known, because 1t was print
ed just: below it in the same letter Of
mine that mutilated gold coins shall
be legal tender at valuation in pro-
portion to their actual" II 1t is a legal
tender it certainly is money.
Il am not prejudiced against green
backs by reason of Misrepresentation
of the old party press" as Dukes thinks,
but l studied this whole subject care
fully 30 years ago and all of the time
since, and am firmly convinced, that a
purely credit money is not the best
kind, and is not a scientific money"
even.
The question of Dukes, relative to
printing deeds, patents, etc., on a gold
sheet of equal value to the farm is
childish In the extreme and shows what
an erroneous idea Mr.. Dukes has of the
true function of money. The purchas-
ing power Of money depends on it's in
dlvidual merit, not on its scarcity as
claimed by Dukes. If greenbacks, as
advocated by Dukes ct al. were as plenti-
full as leaves in the spring, how
many dollars of the stuff would it take
to buy a cow which any man would sell
for at a price of $50 in gold coin?
Money can only be made receivable
for debts,'' it never can be made to
| measure the price which any man
chooses to put on his article he has for
sale.
