Watches Slower at Night.

From the New York Times.
 You know that the vital energies are at lower ebb at night than in the day time" said an old matchmaker Would you believe that some watches-especial- ly the cheaper ones-are similarly affect ed?
 You know good watchmaker always wants several days in which to regulate a timepiece. That is because the only way to regulate it properly is to com pare 1t with a chronometer at the same hour every day Otherwise the varia- tions in the speed of the watch will baf- fie his efforts.
 "The man to whom l was apprenticed told me this, and l thought the idea was absurd. We were working late one night and he called my attention to a lot of watches we had regulated and were ready to deliver. It was near midnight. and every watch was slow The better timepieces had Jagged behind some sec onds The cheaper watches were a min- ute or more out of the way. Next morn ing every one of the lot was exactly right.
 "The fact is you can regulate watch to make exactly twenty-four hours day, but you can't persuade it to make just sixty minutes in each of the twenty-four hours. Why this is, no one can tell.'

A Methodist Record.

From the Boston Advertiser.
 From statistics carefully compiled by Methodists 1t appears that more mem- bers of the methodist church have been elected governors during the past five years than any other denomination in the history of the country. At the pres- ent time there are no less that eight states whose chief executives are Meth odists The list as officially complied: Massachusetts, Governor Bates; Illi- nois, Governor Yates; Texas, Governor Savers; Indiana, Governor Durbin; Ne braska Governor Mickey; Missouri. Governor Dockery; Michigan. Governor Bliss; Minnesota, Governor Van Sant.
 All but two of the Methodist govern ors are republicans, the exceptions being in Texas and Missouri. The denomina- ton which ranks next to the Methodists in gubernatorial laymen Is the Presby- terian church, with seven, and the Bap- lists, with six governors. The strength of the Methodist church in politics is not surprising, in view of the numbers who follow this faith. It has long been the most numerous Protestant body in the country, and less than twenty-five years ago was the strongest of all de- nominations. The late President Mckin- ley was a devout Methodist, as was President Grant.

MUST REFRAIN FROM
 TOO MUCH TALKING
GERMAN EMPERoR'S THROAT IN JURED BY STRAIN OF DELIVER ING ADDREssES-BLEEDINe RE. SUIT OF LOUD SPEAKING.

Berlin, November 10.-Emperor William will have to abstain from much public speaking in the future. The growth on the vocal chord appears to have been caused by straining his voice. His majesty, as is well known, talks much in public addressing the guests at din- ners and speaking to large open-air com panles at the unveiling of monuments, lunches and reviews of troops.
 Prof. Orth's microscopic examination, in addition to the publication already made showed that the dark matter found originated from previous bleedings within the polypus, which contained a great number of minute blood vessels. The bleedings were almost certainly caused by loud speaking. The emperors voice of recent years has always appeared somewhat hoarse, but his entourage mo- ticed that it was hoarser than usual during the last three weeks.

TWO WOMEN TRY
 TO BUY THE CHILD
MIDWIFE TESTIFIES IN TRIAL OF COUNTESS kWILEcKI, CHARGED WITH PRESENTING FALSE HEIR TO ESTATE.

Berlin, November 10--At today's ses- sion of the court which is trying the Countess Isabella Wesierska Kwilecki. charged with presenting false heir to an estate at Wroblewo, a midwife testi- fled that two women several years ago came to Cracow and opened communica- tion with her for the purpose of getting an infant boy, which one of the women said was for her daughter who was a countess.
 The midwife thought immediately of Cecilia Meyer and her relations with the Austrian captain, who has since figured in the case. The midwife bought the child for a hundred gulden. The witt ness was unable to give the exact date of the purchase, but she thought it was January 23, 1892.
 Cecilia Meyer testified to selling her second son for a hundred gulden, Jan uary 25 1897. She regretted the loss of the boy and went to former Judge Fo- lowski to ask for his assistance in recov- ering the child, but she failed to get the boy.
 Judge Folowski substantiated this story.

Too Much Talk

From the New York Tribune.
 One of the states of the union has de- cided that its legislature shall meet only once in four years. and that even then it's proceedings shall be strictly restrained to extremely short sessions In various parts of the republic the sentiment against an- nual meetings of the solons of the capi- tols and against prolonged deliberations and discussions when the sages do as- semble is evidently gaining ground.
 The belief that earlier generations have been legislated for to excess and that there has beentoo much talking through weary months in state houses is steadily making headway.

is the best-balanced, best gaited horse I have ever seen, and does not need any thing at all to aid him to pace He paees naturally, without extra rigging such as other horses are compelled to use. He does not even need a knee protector or boots, but we use them in order to pre- vent any possibility of his hitting him. self. He has never even struck one hoof against another.
 T told MT. Savage, his owner. to whom I sold him last year, that he would break every pacing record before the end of the season, and he has done as I prom ised. Even when Prince Alert paced his record breaking mile, I knew Dan would make it lower the first time he had a good opportunity.
 Congratulations By Wire.
 "I received telegram from MT. Saw age in Minneapolis tonight. congratulat- ing me on the victory, and I certainly did feel good about it. You know. all Mr. Savage wants is to get these records for his horse. We will probably remain here for several days to rest the horse, and then I do not know where we will go with him unless to winter quarters"
 MT. Flynn, one of the managers of Dan Patch, said:
 T drove the running horse, and he ran away from me. The breaking of the record was due to Dan partially. but Mc- Henry's great driving had much to do with it. He drove great race"

Oxford and Cambridge Sell Degrees

From the London News.
 The most stupendous of all academic frauds is none other than the M. A. de- gree of either Oxford or Cambridge. Year by year hundreds of graduates exchange the B. A. for A. M, without having add ed one iota to their scholarship and mere- ly by virtue of a payment of money. From this dubious source, the universi- ties in question derive a handsome but wholly indefensibe revenue. to the dis advantage of London M. As, who have to face stiff examination.
 It is surely an anachronism that a uni- versity should grant supposed honor not as a reward for intellectual or even athletic achievement. but solely in order to raise the wind.' a policy which in- ficts grave disadvantages upon the poor man who may have taken high honors and yet be unable to buy a masters gown When Oxford and Cambridge abol- ish their bogus degrees it will be time enough to censure America.
