A WONDERFUL SUN DIAL.
Baltimore Has a Unique Mechanism
That Shows Time at Fifteen Places.

From the Los Angeles Times.
The romantic n picturesque sun
dial is coming to it's own once, more.
Dial making is again an industry
reveled in by members of the arts and
crafts cycle.
Ii was in days when interest in sun
dials was lowest that Peter Hamilton
of Baltimore conceived and executed
the design for a dial unlike any other
of which we have any knowledge, and
which is To- one of the attractions of
the celebrated Druid Hill park in that
city.
This dial, beautiful from an architec-
tural stand point, is also a mathemat-
jcal wonder, for it registers the time at
fifteen places, each far distant from one
another. From it's fifteen faces can be
read the hours at Rio Janeiro, Sitka,
Jeddo, Jerusalem, Fernando Pc, Cape
Cod, Baltimore, Pitcairn's Island, Hon
olulu, London, Cape Town and San
Francisco, The equatorial and polar
planes, the latter with the mototo "sine
uInbra nihil." make up the fifteen faces
of this peculiar dial.
That he had constructed a wholly
original sun dial of which there is no
duplicate is a fact which surprised Mr..
Hamilton, for he believed, While con-
structing 1T, that he was reproducing in
essential points the famous dial at
CLAIMS castle, in Scotland. which is UNI
doubtedly the finest in the world.
There are over eight dials in all on
this famed timepiece, Zach OF its. TWEEN
ty-four facets having from three TO
-four dials each. This dial is certainly
three centuries old. as il appears in a
print Of the castle, behind which it
stands, previous to the year 1900, and
was named in Earl Patrick's book of
record of a date previous to 1895.
1t was from a description of h
CLAIMS sur dial, which is over twenty
one feet high, n handsomely carved,
that Mr.. Hamilton drew the plans for
Hill park. Never having seen even a
photograph of the CLAIMS dial, Mr..
Hamilton had only verbal descriptions
to work upon and he concluded that
the many faces of the CLAIMS dial must
speak the time at various points. But
the CLAIMS dial tells onlv Scotland's
time. Thus MI. Hamilton's work is not
a copy IN n sense, but is original
with him.
1t was in 1875 that Mr.. Hamilton
constructed his unique dial of sand
stone. 1t stood in his yard for a num-
Der of years. In 1892 he presented it to
the city Of Baltimore. 1t was first
placed in one Of the smaller parks, and
afterwards removed to Druid Hill park
near the EutaW place entrance. As
time had begun to wear way some of
the inscriptions, the park commission
recently spent $500 to cover the surface
with bronze plates and engrave them.
This has been don under Mr.. Hamil-
tons supervision, and the dial now bids
fair to stand for centuries, a pic
turesque to it's maker.

'In the lead mines l was at work OH my

ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles

scarcely walk on uneven ground and q
little pressure from a stone under my
feet would cause me so much pain that /
would nearly sink down. / was often
obliged to lie in bed for several days at q
time. Ny friends who were similarly
troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and | did not feel encouraged to
throw money away for nothing. BY
chance / read the story of Robert Yates,
of the Klauer Manufacturing Co, OF
Dubuque, who had a very bad case OF
rheumatism. j decided TO try DR.. Will
Hams Pink Pills for Pale People, the
remedy he had used. In three or four
weeks after beginning TO use the pills, /
was much better and in three months /
was well. The swelling Of the joints

work steadily aud for eight years ] have
had no return of the trouble. My whole
family believe in DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Both my sons use them. We
consider them a household remedy that
we are sure about"

imp ORTANT FACTS
FOR cow OWNERS

The mechanical Cream Separator has
become a vital feature of every home
dairy just as of every butter factory.
Its use means much more and much
better cream and butter, as well as
saving of water, ice, time and room.
The difference in results is no small
but big. Few cows now pay without a
separator. Dairying is the most profit
able kind of farming with one.
9S% of the creamery butter of the
world is now made with De Laval
machines, and there are over 500, coo
farm users besides.

DEATHS SUDDEN CALL

Miss Gertrude Wallace, better known
in Goldfeld as Mrs. Helen Carson, the
proprietress of the Carson baths, die !
at her home in this city at Z O'Clock
Wednesday morning. Miss Wallace
was taken i'll Tuesday evening and
lapsed into a .comatose condition from
which she did not rally and passed
away eight hours after being taken i'll.
The attending physicians found
that death was caused by an abscess on
the brain. An inquest was held Wednes
day evening and upon hearing the evil
dence of the medical men, a verdict
was returned by the jury finding that
Miss Wallace died from natural causes.
Mrs. Luke Wallace, mother of the de-
ceased, accompanied by her son Jack
Hastings Of the San Francisco Chron-
icle staff at Oakland arrived in the city
last evening and will probably arrange
to take the body to Pasadena tomorrow
morning, where interment will take
place.
Miss Wallace was born in Michigan,
and was about 80 years of age. She
came here from New York, but had
prior to her arrival in the camp sew
eral months ago, spent several years in
various Colorado mining camps, con-
Quoting a business similar to that
which she was giving her undivided
energies at the time of her death.
For several days prior to the time of
her death she complained of having
pains in her head, which were but the
premonition Of the fatal malady which
caused her death.
Several years ago she was married
in the middle west to a man named
Carson, whose name she was known BIZ
here.
