DAILY WATCH BIG RED BALL
Employees Of Chicago City Hall Much
Interested in New Di-
version.

City hall employees have new diver
sion since the destruction of the old
county building, reports the Chicago
Daily News. 1t is watching the big
red ball which every noon makes a
quick and sensational slide down
pole 80 feet high on top of the Ma
sonic temple. Every day two or three
minutes before noon the shining globe
is hoisted to the top Of the pole, and
on the stroke of IL drops. At the
same minute the hands of 100 or more
watches in the city hall are switched
to indicate exact midday.
1t has been only since the old coun-
ty building was RACED that the workers
in the city hall could see the time ball
on the skyscraper nearly three blocks
away. Now department heads, stenog-
raphers, clerks and chemists all
through the city building engage daily
in watching the balls performance
and setting their watches by its fall.
To see the sphere let loose is an event
in the day and the windows from
which good views are obtainable are
as crowded each noon as the station
platform of Montana village on the
arrival Of transcontinental flyer.
"Oh, pshaw!" says a disappointed
young woman stenographer sometimes.
Il looked away just a second and now
the ball is gone. I hope I have better
luck tomorrow"
Some of the city employees who have
the habit Of watching the ball confess
to nervousness and disappointment IL
they fail to get position from which
to see its descent, and say they cannot
work as well afternoons or days they
are deprived of their noontime glimpse
of the descending sphere.

There's the cooperative idea in the

rectors Of the Fruit Growers union
hold their weekly meeting in the lit
tie shed which forms their headquar-
tiers, says Harris Lloyd, in Outing Mag
azine. Here Chris and Hank and Ned
and. Jim sit on apple boxes or the
managers desk or lean against the
window sill while they discuss the
business the manager presents to them.
They are merely the half dozen grow
ers who have been selected to settle
the question of prices for the COM
munity and where to ship the harvest.
They suggest to the manager what
they think Is best, then hurry away
to finish up picking or spraying or
whatever else there is on hand, leaving
him to do the rest Sometimes there's
the question about the best kind Of

 EquaIled About Philadelphia--Sym-

 the Convicted Man.
 Philadelphia, June 19.-Twenty years of hard labor in solitary confinement in. the Eastern penitentiary was the sen tenoe pronounced to-day on John Jo- seph Kean, the abductor of little Fred die Muth. The enornity of the man crime, which had aroused the whole city, stirred the officers of the Jaw to quick action, and the swiftness with which justice moved has never been equalled in this community.
 Kean fell into the clutches of the law yesterday afternoon about the time the courts were closing. Promptly at lO o'clock this morning he was photo graphed and measured by the Bertillion system,
 Twenty-dve minutes later he had been arraigned before a magistrate and committed to court without ball. The grand jury quickly found true bill and at 11:20 o'clock he was in the crim- inal court awaiting his turn to face Judge Sulzberger. Shortly after + o'clock the judge passed sentence upor him, and at 1;S0 o'clock the great iror doors of the penitentiary closed behind him.
 In his quick trip from liberty to th' solitude of Cherry Hill, the institution which Dickens made famous in hi' American Notes by condemning it's sys tenn of solitary confinement, no friendl! hand or voice was raised in the prison CTS behalf. If he behaves himself hi sentence, under the law, will be reduc ed to twelve years and three months The court had the power to give him life sentence.
 Much sympathy is expressed for tn wife and three children Kean leave without means of support. Mrs. Keal is prostrated by the disgrace brough upon the family. She will break up he home here and remove to New Yorl where she has relatives.

GERMANH's SPORTING EVENT.
Brilliant KieI Regatta Begins To-day
 The Races.

Kiel, June 1S.--Germany s most bril- liant sporting event, the Kiel regatta, will begin tomorrow with racing by the small ratersI for the city of Kiel prize and the first group of warshlp pinnaces. No English yachts are enter ed this season, and no French, Belgian or American craft. These countries all were represented in 1905. The talk here is that Germany's political relations with France and Great Britain dispose the yachtsmen of those countries to stay away. A. H. soloman, owner of the Sunshine, and I. Hamilton Benn, owner of the Betty, winner of the Do- r-Hegoland race for the Emperor William cup, probably will be the Eng lishmen here. They or their represen- tatives must attend the prize distribu- ton. The king of Spain's Giralda, four Swedish and four Danish craft are en- tered for the special class here, making the total or foreign nominations nine against twenty-four in 1905.

The customs officials, however, claim the pearls are the conponents of one of the most valuable necklaces ever as sembled by a fashionable Paris jeweler and for years held by him at the fixed price of s4OO,0OO. The pearls are won derfully matched, each one perfect in itself, and selected during years of search among all the pearls brought from India to Paris.
 As virtually constituting a necklace, although entered merely on a string used by jewellers for bringing in loose gems. the customs officials set up a claim for the 50 per cent. ad valorem duty imposed on set stones and manu- factured jewelry. The matter was re- ferred to Washington and the local au- thorities were upheld in their conten- tion for the higher rate.
 By filing bond and paying the 10 per cent duty-$ $20, ,00O-the representative of the Paris jewelry who personally brought the pearls to this country has been allowed to have their possession The governments recourse is to sue foi the additional $1OO,OOO which would be due under the 60 per cent duty, and tc establish it's right to collect the latter I rate
