BUSINESS CONSCIENCE.
Queer Distinction Made by London
Clock Makers in Some of
Their Work.

The Sunday morals of many a COM
munity are an improvement upon
those of ordinary work days. Some
how conscience seems to sleep when
the hand is busy, particularly if the
hand be employed upon some profit
able work. A London artist tellSzof
curious incident that came under his
notice some little while ago, says
Youths Companion.
81 had an old English bracket clock
that I took myself to a wholesale firm
of clock-makers to be repaired. Whilst
in the shop 1 noticed a peculiar piece
of mechanism, the purpose of which
puzzled me, so 1 sought for informa-
ton.
"'Ohl' replied one of the firm, that's
a special order for a templein China;
II is to work an idol and make him
move
presumably that clock-maker was
an excellent Christian in his own esti-
nation. / do not know whether there
was anything in my look that he con-
sidered called for an explanation, bus
ne added:
Cuisines is business, you know.
You'd be astonished to learn what fun.
ny orders we have some times in our
trade. Only the other day firm asked
us if we would make some imitation
genuine" Elizabethan clocks; they
sent us one to copy. But we replied
declining, merely saying that we had
so far conducted our business honestly,
and intended always to do So
$50, according to the ethics of our
informant, it is not dishonest to make
clockwork intended secretly to make
an idol move, but it is dishonest to
make imitation medieval clocks!"

that they have right to the stones.
They can't call in the assistance of
the law"
"Why not?"
Because to get even with me it
would be necessary for them to
make certain incr1minating admis-
sions, and to call certain evidence
that would entail caustic remarks
from learned judge, and would not
improbably lead to charge of muir
der being preferred against them.
No, Mr.. Fairfax, 1 know my own
business, and, what is better, know
theirs. If they like to take $4,000,
and will retire into obscurity upon it,
1 will pay it to them, always through
you. But 1 won't see either of them,
and won't pay halfpenny more
than I have offered"
you don't mean to tell me that
you are in earnest?"
Il am quite in earnest" he an
swered. 81 never was more so. VIII
you place my offer before them, or
will you not?"
L VIII write and also wire them
to-day" 1 said. But 1 think know
exactly what they will say"

never was a very patient man, and
can assure you most confdentially
that 1 am about tired of this game"
''But how am 1 to know that this
is not another trick on your part,
and that you won't be clearing out
of Paris within a few hours? l
should present a sorry picture if my
clients were to accept your generous
offer, and 1 had to inform them that
you were not on hand to back it up"
ooh, you needn't be afraid about
that" he said. with a laugh. Il am
not going to blk you. Provided you
play fair by me, I viii guarantee to
do the same by you. With the ad
gantages 1 at present enjoy, l am
naturally most anxious to know that
can move about Europe unmolest-
ed. Besides, you can have me
watched, and so make sure of me.

OF the road to that on s<hich HaJfe'5
apartments were situated.
I reached the restaurant at which
we were to dine that evening pune
tual to the moment, only to find that
Hayle had not yet arrived. For a
minute I was tempted to wonder
whether he had given me the slip
again, but while the thought was
passing through my mind cab
drove up, and the gentleman himself
alighted.
Il must beg your pardon for keep
ing you waiting" he said, apologet-
ically. GAS your host 1 should have
been here first. That would have
been the case had 1 not been de-
tanned at the last moment by an
old friend. Pray forgive mel"
1 consented to do so, and we en-.
tered the restaurant together.
I discovered that he had already
engaged table, arranged the menu,
and bespoken the wines. We ac-
cordingly sat down, and the strangest
meal of which 1 had ever partaken
commenced. Less than a week be-
fore the man sitting in front of me
had endeavored to bring about my
destruction; now he was my host,
and to all outward appearances my
friend as well. found him a most
a agreeable companion, a witty con-
versatiOnalist, and a born raconteur.
He seemed to have visited every part
of the known globe; had been
sailor, a revolutionist in South
America, a blackbirder in the Pacific,
had seen something of what he
called the 'pig-tail trade" to Borneo,
some very queer life in India, that is
to say, in the comparatively IN
known native states, and had come
within an ace of having been shot by
the French during the war in NADIA
gascar.

The Maid and the Luncheon.

Once upon a time there was a young
man who cared very little for the So
ciety OF women, and found 10 pleas
ure in their company, until he met
a young lady who was clothed in silk,
satin, velvet, lace and jewels, and
made an exceedingly fine appearance.
She received his attentions very graz
ciOusly, and after a short acquaint-
alice accepted an invitation to the
theater. Wien the play was over they
went to restaurant for a luncheon.

in every way; asked no favors, and in
addition presented the players with

game they won. Mr.. Dixwell kept
all the records of the National
League players as faithfully as a bank
clerk keeps his books. That fall the
team made a trip to California after
the close of the season, and Mr.. Dix

NEW FIELDS FOR TRADE.

Gen. Gordon was right in saying. as
he did in an interview in Sundays
Morning News. that it was full time
that Savannah was looking for new
fields from which to draw commerce.
We are now largely dependent upon
lumber and naval stores, but the for
ests in Savannah's territory are rap
idly disappearing, and it will not be
many years before we shall not be
able to place much dependence upon
them.
If we are wise we will begin at
once to look for new fields for trade
A field open to us in found in the
Central American Republics, and the
West Indies. Our merchants do not
know much about 1t because they
have never investigated il, but they
know that those countries want many
things with which they can supply
them, and also that many things are
wanted in the territory tributary to
Savannah which those countries have.
New York is reaching out after this
trade and is getting it. There is no
a
share of it, and a pretty large share
Birmingham is manufacturing iron
and steel products which the West
Indies and the Central American Re
publics want and Georgia cotton and
cotton oil mills can give them all of
the cotton goods and other products
of the cotton plant which their mar
kets demand. There is every reason
therefore why Savannah should at
once begin to investigate the trade
possibilities of the coutries to the south
of her
An opportunity to make an inyesti-
cation is now offered. The Fruit Dis
patch Company, which has a line of
steamers from Charleston to Costa
Rican ports will take representative
of Savannah's commercial interests to
Costa Rica and bring him back, free
OF charge, giving him sufficient time
there to make a pretty thorough in
Vestigation of the trade possibilities of
the country. 1t seems to us that this
is an opportunity which Savannah's
merchants and commercial bodies
should not neglect. The cost of MAX
ing an Investigation under such cir
cumstances would be very small, while
the investigation might lead to a trade
that would be of vast and lasting
benefit to the city. The offer of the
Fruit Dispatch Company is worthy of
very careful consideration.

A man who carried raised umbrella
with white ribbon streaming from
the handle attracted attention in the
Dearborn street station yesterday
morning, says the Chicago Tribune.
Waiting passengers wondered where
the attendant was. Finally police
man accosted the fellow.
What are you doing with that UNI
brelIa raised?" he demanded.
''Waitin' for her." the stranger said.
I'm goin' to be married, an my bride
is COMM
The stranger drew a photograph of
a handsome girl from a pocket.
I'm from Brown County, Ind" ne
blessedness. l put an advertisement
in a matrimonial paper, and Sue john
son. who lives at Three Oaks, Mich,
answered 1t. This is a picture of Sue.
1 tell you l worked it slick. I sent
her a picture of the best looking man
in our County and told her it was me.
Well, we got engaged and agreed TO
meet here in Chicago. We selected this
here depot as a good place, but as we
had never seen each other, we ar
ranged this umbrella business. Sue
will carry one, too.
Fifteen minutes later the policeman
saw two umbrellas with white stream
erS attached bearing toward one an
other. He watched them until they
were within ten feet of one another,
and then both halted. The girl was
extremely plain, and the countryman
was not the only one who had fooled.
simultaneously two right hands
moved upward. and a moment later
two umbrellas were closed. The man
turned to the left and the woman to
the right, and not word was said.

MIR. MoRGAN's RETURN.

Financial and industrial interests in
this country are looking with intense
interest for the return of Mr.. ]. p.
Morgan, who left for Europe on April
last, and who is to start on his re-
turn voyage tomorrow. 1t will be
known probably soon after his arrival
whether or not there is any founda-
the Southern railways are to be
merged with certain great railways of
the West. While it is true that Mr..
Samuel Spencer, the president Of the
Southern Railway, has said that there
is nothing in the rumors, further than
that the railways in question have
agreed not to cut rates. there seems
to be suspicion that a merger of
some sort of Southern and Western
roads is on the programme.
AS matter of fact Mr.. Morgan has
been a bigger figure in Europe, during
his brief stay there, than any of the
kings and emperors-that is, the de-
sire of the greatest of the land to see
him and to talk with him was greater
than the desire to see any one of the
rulers of European countries. States
men, kings and emperors sought him
and showered invitations upon him. He
dined with King Edward and Emperor
William, and he discussed the world s
industrial and commercial situation
with them, and with Lord Salisbury,
and Mr.. Balfour in England and with
the leading men in Germany and
France. The Emperor of Austria Hun
gary invited him to Vienna, but he de-
clined the invitation.
Royalty could not have been more
highly honored' than he has been, and
all because he formed the Billion Dol
lar Steel Trust and brought most of
the steamship lines of the Atlantic into
one combination. Does this mean that
the kings of this Countrywide steel
. kings, the kings of commerce and
other sorts of industrial kings-are
gradually outranking the kings of the
Old World in the popular estimation?
1t certainly looks so.
