WATCHES FOR THE BLIND.

The blind, like other mortals, wish to know the time exactly, and as very few of them are in position to se- cure a good repeating watch, whose cost is always great, they have to be content with ordinary watches, and taking the crystal out of the face they ascertain the time by the angles and position of the hands, which fre-- quently causes disarrangement of the timnpeace.
 In view of these difficulties a for eign firm has constructed watch for the blind, which represents the figures in allegorical manner, and ap- parcntly is very convenient. The signs in relief are the following: One o'clock, a dot; 2 o'clock. two dots; 3 o'clock, a triangle; o'clock, a square; o'clock. a five pointed star; o'clock, an eclipse.
 These same signs are repeated in the same order in bas-relief repre- senting the hours from to 12. The number of signs is therefore limited to six, and it is easy to ascertain from them the time of day. The hands are very strong and the watch has been used with good results. Another watch for the blind has been invented by M. Pierre Tissot- Bersof, by which the blind can tell not only the hour, but also the minute. The hours are represented by figures of the Braille system.- Boston Herald.

DOUBT OVER YALE COACH.
Captain Biglow Delays Announcement
 of Football Plans.


 New Haven, Feb 15.-Captain Ray BiglOw of the Yale football team Is delaying his announcement of plans for next seasons campaign because he has not secured head coach, al though 1t is generally believed at col iege that the choice lies between for mer Captain Sam Morse, Carl Elan ders and Bob Forbes. It is thought Morse will be induced to accept, but should he be unable to act, Flanders, who was Yale's center two years ago and a coach last fall, will undoubted- ly be asked to fill the position of coach
 In the event of neither man being able to aid the team Bob Forbes will be the next natural choice. Knox and RoOme, two of the most versatile of Yale's team under the new rules, would prove popular candidates and the choice of either would be com mendable.
 Captain Biglow refused to make any statement regarding the choice of coach until he has secured his man, but close friends of the captain state that Morse would be his choice. The latter will be graduated this year. but Flanders will remain an- other year to complete his course in the law school.

M'LAUGHLIN LOSES CUE.
Plays With old One and Beats Britt,
 Who Was Sick.

WhO Was BECK.
 Hartford, Feb 15.-Bob McLaugh- lin had an experience on the train from Waterbury last evening that was worse than the lemon squeeze game. He bought an expensive jointed cue with green bag to carry 1t in and 1t was stolen from him while he was on the train. The po- lice of Hartford and Waterbury were notified of the theft and a watch will be kept on some of the pawn shops. Oficials of the railroad company are also alert in trying to run down the thief. Mclaughlin was very sore over his loss and when he reached the academy he didn't seem to care whether he won or not. George Britt of this city was matched to play the Waterbury man and as he was sick he didn't care about playing, either. Rather than disappoint the large crowd who had assembled to see the stars, Britt consented to play. His opponent grabbed an old cue out of the rack, one like Prof Harer told about the other day. and started in. Britt usually backs himself in the tournament games at Campbell's, but he, was not inclined to risk anything with his health in It's present state. At one time Britt was 83 while Mo- Laughlin was 82. Mclaughlin final ly won out, 150 to 126. William Gamerdinger was referee and an- nouncer. Walter Johnson of Bridge port and Bob Stone of Waterbury will meet tonight. Stone has recovered from the grip and Johnson has re- covered from his last defeat to such an extent that he want to make a side bet of $100 on the game. There will be plenty of Waterbury money to cover that. George Gamerdinger and Irving Smith will play in cur tain raiser some night next week.

THE DIAMOND.

Barney Dreyfuss and Fred Clarke are having little war by themselves over the program for next season. Clarke signed a contract to manage the Pirates at $8,00O a season, with the understanding. he claims, that he was not to. be expected to play. Clarke expects to manage the team from the bench but Dreyfuss declares he will captain the team and play ball also.
 Friends of Mike Donlin in New York were rather surprised to hear that the Giants star center fielder had threatened to quit the New York team if he did not receive the raise in salary for which he has been clam bring. While everybody agreed that Donlin was the most popular player at the Polo grounds, 1t was pointed out that if the club refused to give him the raise that he would not be treated altogether unjustly.

PACKED TO ec STOLEN.
Old Man Had Fixed Up for Thieves
 and Had Repose Coming.

At midnight the other night I got . dig in the ribs and woke up to hear Mary saying:
 Husband. get up at once or we shall have our throats cut"
 Have you discovered anyone in the room with a butcher knife" asked.
 No; but there's an awful racket In the back yard"
 ''Well?"
 Well. who knows who is around and what they are stealing! Get right up and let 'em know you are at home"
 My dear woman, let's look at this thing from the other point of view. No person in our back yard is up here in our bedroom. Consequently, our threats are safe. It is a well known fact that am always home O nights. and no one will figure that this night is an exception. As to the identity of the marauders. what is it to us whether they are named Smith or Jones!-
 But do you want to be robbed," persisted my good wife.
 T do not. No man does. hear . barrel being softly rolled over the snow. That barrel contains . dead cat and lot of old shoes and rubbers. I headed 1t up this afternoon and left it to be stolen If not stolen 1t will cost me IS cents to have it carted away. Mary. seek thy revenge. We have saved IS cents in cold cash. the thief has worked up a surprise party on himself. and there Is yet time to indulge in our full amount of sleep and wake up In the morning and be glad we are nving"-washington Post

COMMITTEE DISCUSSES
PLANS FOR CHAUTAUQUA

The committee appointed by the
Merchants Association to arrange with
the Redpath Lyceum Bureau OF Chic
ago for holding a Chautauqua assem-
bly, in Canon City next summer met at
the office of D. w. Ross Saturday night
and discussed the proposition in detail.
Some changes were made In the con-
tract submitted to the committee by
J. r. Ellison of Chicago on the occa-
sion of his visit here a few weeks ago
which were forwarded to the bureau
for ratification, one Of the most i'm
portant being in relation to the date
for holding the proposed Chautauqua
assembly.
Mr.. Ellison suggested that 1t be
held some time between August 18th
and September list, but this Is not
satisfactory to the committee, and 1t
amended the terms OF agreement by
fixing August 1st as the latest date
that would be acceptable. 1t ia con-
tended by the committee that to hold
the Chautauqua here any time after
August 10th would be prejudicial to
the Fremont county fair.
The committee Is composed of G. A..
Linkins, Prof. H. e. Smith, M. J. Evans
A. r. Mitchell and DR.. w. T. Little.
President Henry Hutton and Secretary
D. w. Ross met with the committee

WON ABOUT EVERYTHING
HE WENT AFTER

H. N. Beecher returned home Friday
afternoon from the annual bench show
of the Colorado Kennel Club at Denver
bringing with him a string of blue rib
bons of which any dog fancier might
well be proud. The show was held at
the Coliseum building and was con-
ceded to be in all respects the best
ever held in this state.
1t was four pint show and between
three and four hundred CANNES, some
of them the most famous in the coun-
try, were listed for the prizes. Judge
Mortimer of New York City made the
awards, and in his opinion the Denver
show was, with the exception of the
exhibitions in New York City, Phila-
relphia and Boston, the most meri-
torious and successful held in the
United States within the last twelve
months.
Among the bull terriers were shown

A LARGE AUDIENCE
HEARS The RECITAL

The recital given by Prof. G. w.
Oles, violinist, and Urias Williams,
pianist, at the opera house Monday
night was a distinct treat and received
well merited applause from a pleased
and appreciative audience.
Prof Oles needs neither introduce
ton nor commentator in Canon City,
his work here is well known and has
established for him a reputation as a
musical artist of which he may we'll
be proud.
While the program Monday night
was in the main a classic one, several
popular selections were played to
show that the repertoire of Prof. Oles
does not consist entirely of high
falutin" music. Prof. Oles has given
a large number of concerts in Canon
City and it is to his credit that each
succeeding one has added to his pop
ularity as a performer upon that
queen of instruments-the violin.
Prof Williams is an accomplished
pianist and his skill az musician
coupled with the grace and modesty
of his playing won for him the admir-
alton of all. He is splendid soloist
