CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down.
1t responds to regular attention just
as surely as a human being does and
keeps its course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands of a clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where it is we'll bal
anced. A deviation Of two or three
minutes a day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for dusting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true Of
clocks that have a pedulum.

Last year l suffered with a tremendous

worse, until it spread over the whole body

Mr.. WI was a many-sided character and
excited both confidence and distrust during his
stay in Washington as the representative of China.
There were many diplomats who were disposed
to regard with suspicion every move made by the
Chinaman and especially to look askance upon his
cultivation of Americans. There were some Off
Gals in our government who had a similar feel
ing. But away up in the highest ranks of the
administration, with the late President Mckinley
and the late Secretary of State John Hay, Mr.. WI
was received with confidence. Mr.. Hay was very
fond of this brilliant oriental and never had cause
to regret placing trust in him.

LETTER FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

TrOubIes-Good Salad Story.

WASHINGTON.-There is much regret felt In
Washington over the news that comes from Picking
that former Minister WI Ting-fang is about to
retire from public life and participation in oriental
politics. Mr.. Wus efforts to introduce modern
ideas in the government Of China have not been
very successful and he is now on a journey to
visit the tombs Of his fathers, preparatory to
retiring on his fortune at Shanghai. There have
been strong hopes among Mr.. Wu's old friends
here that this shrewd, ~forceful Chinese statesman
would be able to engraft some of the modern
western ideas upon the conservatism of the Celes-
tial Kingdom.
The departure of Minister WI from Washing
ton is still we'll remembered. He had been a par

and had made a place that none of his predeces-

Chief Wilkie, of the secret service, has run
down another money mystery. Some time ago the
subtreasurer at Chicago discovered that all the
bills of large denominations coming from the COL
lector Of customs at Detroit bore the names Of
business firms in ink. The statutes distinctly pro-
hlbit the printing, writing or impressing of any
characters on any Of Uncle Sans money. Agents
of Mr.. Wilkie visited Detroit where these big bills
came from, but it was some time before any clew
was obtained to the party who did the writing on
the money.
1t was noticed that the writing was all in the
same hand and that no bills of less than $50 were
marked with the names of the business firms. At
last the mystery was cleared up. A clerk in one
of the importing concerns at Detroit happened to
remember that when he made a payment at the

AUTO SHOW NEXT
ATTRACTION FOR
CAR OWNERS.
BY r. r. I'FIorr,rnedieu.

The next event of Importance in the
automobile world will be the big shows
of the East scheduled for the beginning
of the new year. All the local dealers
will be on hand when the doors arc
thrown open in New York, for that
will be the show of the year. After
that show there will be others in the
lesser cities of the United States. Even
Los Angeles is to have show at which
seventy different kinds of automobiles
will be exhibited. San Francisco will
be represented at the shows in the
other cities.
Now that the winter is coming on
the local automobilists should seek
some way of getting together to dis
cuss the present conditions of the sport.
There are many things that should be
thoroughly thrashed out before spring
sets in. for instance, the discussing of
good roads, the limit of speed at which
automobiles should be allowed to travel
over the roads out in the open coun-
try and many other kindred points that
are the subject of conversation at of
times.
1t would be advisable to call meet
ing of the Automobile Club of Califor-
MIA, or better still, an open meeting, to
which all autoists should be invited.
Another way would be for the touring
club to get together and perfect its
organization, which undoubtedly will
be done before spring. Or If these two
plans are not possible it would be
good idea for a few enthusiasts to call
a meeting of every automobile owner.
There is no question but that The
automobile owners should be brought
together before the first of the year, as
the Legislature will meet this year and
there may be some measures introduced
which will be Objectionable to the
drivers of the modern vehicle. There
also may be some measures that the
owners of automobiles would present
to the lawmakers for adoption, partic-
ularly a measure providing something
for the betterment of the roads.
English automobilists are rejoicing
over the possibilities of the speed limit
being abolished. the royal commission
investigating the subject having report
ed favorably on a change. Actual
speed, the report states. is not of so
much Importance as the good judgment
of the drivers. The setting of traps
for the automobilists in places where
a little speeding can do no harm is
greatly deplored.

HITS ARE FEW IN
GAME PITCHED
BY HIT.
BY w. j. Siattery.

The final series of games in the Pa
cif1c Coast Base 5all League commenced
yesterday afternoon ar Idora Park and
the Seals so far outclassed the Oaks
at every angle of the battle that the
finish could be prophesied many in
nings before it arrived. The game was
nothing to boast of save that it was
a San Francisco victory, and there
were not enough San Francisco fans
present to make it worth the while.
Roy Hit was back on the slab for
the Seals after a two months absence.
During that long siege of rest his
benders improved to such an alarming
could ride on them when favorable
chance for run presented itself. In
fact Hit had the whole field to him
self and whatever he tossed made good
in nearly every inning.
In the eighth inning of the contest
the Oaks managed to save themselves
from a shutout, principally through the
wildness of Hit, for although the big
southpaw had curves to throw away to
the swallows and enough speed to hold
him for while, his control was bit
short and he walked more men than
he should. But for this wildness the
Oaks never would have caught a
glimpse of the home plate.
Both teams seemed to be doing their
DeSI ali the time TO play the real game
of baseball, but their efforts were far
from being realized most of the time.
San Francisco was bit to the bad on
account of the large number of men
in the hospital class. Wheeler was
forced to don the large mitt at the first
station and Spencer was sent in to
play short. AS neither man has had
any too much practice at these stations
