G.. w. Jones has a clock in his law
office which is a decided novelty. 1t
is made of an iron spider, the genuine
article, such as is used in every house,
hold. the bottom of the spider being the
dial of the clock while the figures and
the hands are of raised brass. To add
to the original design, the works of the
clock are contained in a tin pan. The
clock hangs upon the wall by the long
handle of the spider, and ticks away
the hours as correctly as any clock in
town.

Willis Yeaton passed the night at
the police station. The reason for his
doing so was that Night Officer White
found him in a recumbent position,
early in the evening, under the over
head bridge, op upper Water street,
where he had evidently turned in for
the night. Mr.. Yeaton was very much
irroxicated. and also righteously indig-
nant that the officer should interfere
with him. He will be given a chance to
vindicate himself, this morning.

THE AMERICAN QUICK LUNCH
 IN LONDON,

The Lancet. the famous medical jour nal of London, roundly denounces the pro- posed establishment of American quick lunch counters in that city. Among other things, The Lancet says: Eating should rot be done in a hurry. Food eaten rap idly escapes in a great measure the prepa- tory processes of digestion. and sooner or later breakdown !n the maltreated hu- man machine supervenes. Hurrying over eating Is fatal to a healthy sustenance or the body"
 Thousands of business men and clerks suffer from indigestion and dyspepsia brought on by too rapid eating. By con- tinued abuse their stomachs have reached the point where even the simplest food eaten slowly. causes indescribable suI' fering. The stomach can be put in order and the entire digestive system thorough ly repaired by Tyners Dyspepsia Remedy. It instantly relieves indigestion and per- nanently cures dyspepsia.

New York's Assay Office.

Our local assay office is a nondescript building which millions of people have passed without noticing in the last half century. On the left the sub-treasury dwarfs it as the main canvas of the cir GUS does the tent of the side show. The railroad between the two buildings is said to have the richest haul of all the railroads of the universe per mile value. which undoubtedly is fact. For many years the assay office has offended the nostrils of tenants in the immediate vii cinlty. In the department of the refiner some 100000 pounds of sulphuric acid and over 100000 pounds of copper are em ployed annually in the reduction of sil- yer, with the result that the air is laden with stenchful fumes. For twenty years efforts have been made to have this gov ernment nuisance removed.
 The assay office was built in 1893. It is the oldest building in Wall Street. It was the New York branch of the Bank of the United States, and after the failure of that institution was occupied consecu- lively by two other banks. In 1853 the national government bought the property and converted it to its present uses. It is said that s2.0O0.000 has been offered for it., sum sufficient to buy another site and erect a suitable building. Visitors are admitted to the office between 10:30 and 2:S0. to witness the processes of assaying. parting and refining gold and silver, which are brought there in the shape of crude bullion, bars, old jewelry. coins, etc. The gold bars turned out vary from S100 to $500 in value. The silver bars are from five ounces to 1.50o. Most of the work Is done for private owners. the government making a nominal charge,

GENERAL BOOTH IN LONDON.
Salvation Army Leader Given Royal
 Welcome,

London. March 3o.-London accorded Gen. William Booth commander in gem eral of the Salvation Army. a great wei come home at Albert Hall today. The inn mense auditorium was packed from the floor to the roof. There was not a vacant seat in the building which has a capacity of 9600 persons and in suite of the rainy night hundreds were turned away from the door.
 General Booths appearance on the plat form was the signal for a remarkable demonstration. A spectacular feature of the meeting followed in the review of the various departments of the Salvation Ar my. These marched then and crossed the stage saluting the General as they passed.
 The General spoke touchingly on the re- ception accorded to him throughout America and the reference he made to the kindliness of his reception by Pres- dent Roosevelt and the distinction shown him as the representa- tive of the Salvation Army by the United States Congress evoked repeated applause.
 '1 like the Americans" said General Booth. and I believe he likes me He is willing to risk something to gain his end and does not prejudice or tradition stand in his way

Women Showed Courage.

A New York paper last Saturday. in printing an account of the collision of two steamers. Plymouth and the City of Toronto. laid considerable stress on the presence of mind of the women passen- gers and said in large headlines that the Women Passengers Put the Men to Shame"
 Such statement strikes in the head the theory that women always go off in a tarry" on occasions when coolness is needed.
 of course this is an only instance but 1t is similar in detail to many catastro- phes in which are recorded the brave and cool heads of brave and heroic women.

Be Reasonable.

At the Montgomery-Bosto baseball game yesterday afternoon numbers of men in the bleachers were prone to roast" the local team once or twice when errors were made and especially to sling discouraging jests at one of the home teams pitchers who had not played before this season.
 The Montgomery team played a credit able game and were doubtless harder set of players to down than the big and burly Bostonians expect, ard when the practice and organization of the two teams is taken into consideration, the local team probably played better game than the visitors. As for the pitcher, he should be given a chance and encouraged instead of scoffed at He will no doubt take high rank among Southern League pitchers tfis season.
 As q visitor remarked. You can't ex- pect your team to defeat the big Ma tional and American Leaguers. The Montgomery aggregation will show up well in the Southern League when the season is on."
