WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Every Fluctuation of Time and
Weather Recorded.


With scroll saw. plane, a hammer
and common pocket knife one
armed cripple has made the most re-
markable clock in the world, says a
Cleveland dispatch in the Philadelphia
North American. The maker is Mar
win Shearer of Akron, o. He is a scenic
artist, but his hobby is mechanics. His
pet project for the last fifteen years
has been TO. make a SURPRISINGLY won
derful timepiece. but il was not until
disabled for daily work at his pro-
fession that he found the time The
clock is j. feet 4 inches high, more
than 4 feet wide and almost 3 feet
deep. 1t contains 4161 pieces Of wood
of thirty seven different kinds. There
are 1872 pictures in or on the clock
all of which Mr.. Shearer painted. The
motive power consists of a water pump
having a capacity Of 200 gallons per
hour, a One-half horse power electric
motor and several other electric appli-
ances.
The clock weighs $50 pounds, and is
constructed in three sections. On the
face Of the top section are nine dials,
seven of which give the time in three
foreign cities and four American cities;
one, the local standard time. the other
the calendar dial indicating all the
changes Of the moon, the month. the
day and date. The weather signals are
translated by signal flags on a revolv-
ing staff directly in front Of the calen-
dar dial. Thermometers, barometers
and hydrometers, each tells its tale
and around the dials pieces of wood
from each state, territory and foreign
possession I'm the Union are arranged,
decorated with the coat-Of-arms Of
each.
on either side of the clock dial can
be seen every man-of-war in the Unit
ed States navy. arranged according TO
their class and speed. followed by the
different squadrons in their official or
der. Underneath the navy is shown a
passion history OF Christ. All these
pictures have their stated times of ap-
pearing. passing from view behind a
screen.
The middle section is by far the most
beautiful In the extreme top is To-
Gated a miniature Niagara Falls, over
which $50 gallons of water fall every
hour. Both the American and Horse
shoe falls are shown. with Goat island
in the foreground. and the sparkling
water is Illuminated BY cOlored and
changing electric lights making a
most effective water display.
At each hour. as the clock strikes.
the figures of Uncle Sam and the Cod
dess of Liberty appear from an ele-
vatOT at the right. walk in front Of
the American falls. pass through a
gate that opens automatically. descend
a flight of steps. continue their walk
around the front of the falls, where
they turn and bow to the audience.
Behind glass plates pass in review
pictures Of all the presidents Of the
United States. and on each end a sill
hOuette of Washington shows.

Shock to senator Hoar.
(New York TimesO

There was one hearty outburst OF
laughter today in the Smoot trial Pres
ident Smith had said that ex-Apostle
Moses Thatcher differed from the other
leaders OF the Mormon church and
wanted TO go into politics against their
judgment and advice.
Why was this?" asked Mr.. Tayler.
Did Mr.. Thatcher desire any Officer"
Yes, he wanted some Office. / be-

oh. yes said Smith: II think it

like that"
The look that came over Senator
Hosr's face as he heard the words that
meant that any living being thought
there was an Office on earth like that
of United States senator was something
awful TO witness. In a moment it had
passed and the whole committee burst
into laughter, in which Mr.. Hoar joined

HARD TO PLEASE.

Somehow the latest pairing does not
seem to evoke any very favorable COM
ments from the democratic press.
Still, one would suppose that such a
combination as Miles and Hearst or
Hearst and Miles would cause the
average democratic editor to get up
and howl with delight. Hearst should
please the Bryan wing, while Miles
as a candidate ought to be satisfac-
tory to the reconstructionists. Having
been a soldier all his life he has prob
ably never cast a vote, and conse-
quently is not open to the charge
that he ever proved untrue to the
party by supporting a factiona1 car
didate. Then, too, he would fill the
bill SO far as supplying the ticket
with the soldier, which is has been
held in some quarters as absolutely
essential to succes in order that the
youthful element that feels itself
drawn to Roosevelt might be appeased
by having a mar with even a longer
military record than the president as
a candidate. If the two could only
get together and decide which shall
be the head and which the tail, the
stiffness now obtaining in the demo
cratic editorial rooms would undoubt-
eddy be speedily broken.

Without attempting to go into de-

the face of his assurances that he is

self, it asks that all others be SO
and gives notice to Mr.. Bryan that
in it's humble opinion he is entirely
too persistent in his demands for a
reaffirmation of the st. Louis platform,
a document that erstwhile it consid-
cred sancrosanct. Such heartless
treatment of a man whom it has re-
peatedly followed-to defeat, is is
true-and whom it has always &C
cepted as the only man competent
to speak authoritatively in all things
pertaining to the PARTY, was hardly to
be expected from the Independent and
must be accepted as indisputable proof
of the recurring power and influence
of the man whom it has time without
number read out of the party. Mr..
Cleveland certainly has the Indepen-
dent hypnotized.

COURTS NOT FORGOTTEN.

While a majority of the editors of
the country find themselves near the
point of exhaustion because of the
strain under which they are laboring
in turning out articles on the war
in the east, now and then one man
ages to halt long enough in his self
imposed task of giving opinions and
advice to say something about the
courts and their subservience to tech
nicalities. While there is an undoubt-
ed difference of opinion concerning
the war, the unanimity manifested on
the subject of technicalities is as
tonishing. To a man they are of the
belief that there is a direct connection
between lawlessness and crime and
the methods and results of our courts.
AS they seem to have sized it up. the
average lawbreaker figures it out that
the chances of his escape from punish
ment are o than even, and in his
favor. This applies more especially
to the appellate courts, for as a rule
juries do their duty fairly well and
the district courts come in for very
little of the censure directed toward
those of higher degree.

some one earned when Gravelle was
sent to the p~enitentiary, but with all
their wisdom and aculnen the officials
charged with the duty of it's payment
are unable to decide to whom it should
be given. The claimants are SO many
and the energy with which each one
pushes his claim SO great that the
state has taken the hint conveyed
by the railorad and decided to let
the courts, who are paid for solving
knotty problems, determine who is
justly entitled to the blood money.
The suit now pending will be accepted

opinion that the All led tone given

with flowing side whiskers, whose
cuts of themselves monopolize the
columns of some publications and
whose offensive style of advertising
is n%auseating to all to whom nature
has given a fair allowance of brains
and the power to use them. Being in
the character of an official work, the
commissioners say they do not intend
that the state shall be made to appear
in the position of endorsing or stand

concern or anything they may have

ent week. Every person who is Civ
ing out the stuff has his never-failing
.'sign" and on it he is prepared to
wager money, chalk, marbles or his
reputation as a prophet. The slight
rain that fell yesterday is taken by
some as an absolute indication that
the backbone of winter has been
fractured, while others say it has ex-
actly the opposite significance. The
man who saw some crows last month
now says he is quite sure that he saw
a robin or two during the last few
days and is preparing for spring work,
and this in spite of the fact that bliz-
yards are raging in Dakota and stock

coat. The man who has no particular
'tsign" to guide him is content to
say that the present "spell' cannot
last much longer and looks for an
early breakup, being willing to back
his judgment on the beneficence of
nature, which he says complete
ly deserts it's children. The fact that
no attempt j. is made nere at anything
like a parade on the 18th of March
causes many to think it will become
warm considerably before then.

TURNING TOWARD CLEVELAND.

AS the season is favorable neither
for fishing nor duck hunting, Grover
Cleveland finds himself with more
spar time or hand than he knows
what to do with. To utilize a little
of it he writes a letter to the demo-
Gratis of the country and pub
lication of it in a Philadelphia paper.
AS a reason for taking his pen in
hand he says he is of the firm convic-
tion that the prospect for democratic
success next fall is not altogether
hopeless, regardless of how others
may feel about it. Very emphatically
he declares that the wish is not faith
er to the thought, although admit
ting that the former is uppermost
in his mind and is his thought by
day and the subject of his dreams by
night.
After saying that the present is no
time for f~inesse, cunning or the use
of words that carry meaning of a
concealed nature, he comes to the
real meat Of his communication-the
necessity of a man endowed with all
the requirements to do a successful
stunt as a political Moses to lead the
party to the trough. In total disre-
gard of his objurgation of everything
savoring of cunning or finesse, he
slyly intimates that should the men
lat the front be really anxious to Sc
cure the address of just exactly the
sort of a man needed to do the leading
they could do much worse than to
apply at Buzzards Bay, where they
may gain the knowledge required to
place themselves. in communication
with a man qualified in every respect
and warranted to fill the bill. OF
course, Mr.. Cleveland does not say
who the man is that he has in mind.
but with a little pressing he might
consent to lay aside the reserve under
which he is acting and tell them
more about him. But until such time
he must satisfy himself with what
he has said, meanwhile permitting the
other fellows to do a little thinking
and surmising.
What is really remarkable in con.
nection with the letter is the manner
OF it's reception by some of the demo-
cratic newspapers of the vest. A
change has come over the spirit of
the men who occupy the position of
spokesman for the party. Instead of
arousing the old-time protests and
downright denunciations that com,
munications from the former presi-
dent were wont to bring about. this
n is received with marked cour-
tesy and, stranger still, in some quar-
ters is actually given the weight of
an endorsement. There is the Helena
Independent, for instance. The time
was not so long ago when ANYTHING
emanating from Mr.. Cleveland was
usually provocative of a reply that
fairly made the column rules warm.
Now the good Independent is of the
opinion that Mr.. Cleveland makes a
genuine center shot. His declaration
Sof opposition to everything republi-
keaa appeals to the Helena publication,

IN A PASSING MANNER

IA H A00A
l~~~~~>~~~~ ~>~~~
So far as Billings was concerned the
birthday of the Father of his Country
was permitted to pass pretty much the
same as any other day, that is as re.
CARDS any general observance. Being
a legal holiday, the banks and public
offices remained closed, as. did also
the police court. Only the general
delivery window of the postotfice was
opened, a short time during the fore
noon. Like the employees and officials
of the places that did not open, the
teachers and children of the schools
enjoyed a holiday and only the JAM
tors were about the buildings.
Occasionally some patriotic citizen
would remember the day and invite
some congenial person to "join him"
and a quiet toast would follow to the
success and glory of the country
founded by the man who did not
know how to lie, but did know how to
wa1lcp the Britishers. But for all this
it should not be supposed that the
men of Billings are less patriotic than
those of other communities. They
have not yet acquired the holiday
habit, the old time push and hustle
of frontier days still clings to them.

many Mr.. Mccormick did not say,
only %venturing the information that
this happened when he was a boy.
The deer would go to the lick and
farmers boys would be perched in
the trees and shoot them. Mr. Nc
Cormick is free to admit now that
it was not a very sportsmanlike way
of getting game, but as meat was the
principal consideration, the results
were usually highly successful.

The appointment Of Corporal James

Register of Wills of the District of Co

White House The appointment will go
into effect on April /.
The announcement that the appoint

aroused opposition from many of the
friends of Mr.. Dent including many
members of the local bar, and vigorous
protests were made. Mr.. Dent was Of

is about double that of the Office Of
Register OF Wills, he was understood
to prefer TO remain I'm Washington. In
a call he made on the President MIR.
Dent assured Mr.. Roosevelt he was not
personally making opposition TO Mr..
Tanners appointment, anG that the an
