QUEER CONDOLENCES.
Andrew Lang Tells About Clock and
Letter.

Andrew Lang Tells About a Clock and
Here is real curious coincidence,
reported to me by a trustworthy
friend. My friend paid a visit, with
companion, also known to me, to
lady. On the chimneypiece of the
drawing room was black marble
clock, not going, and near it small
round clock in working order. Sud-
denly a child Of the lady of the
house, standing on the hearth rug,
said, ''Mother, the big clock" (the
black marble clock) els ticking"
'1mpossiblew said his mother. ut
has not licked for many a month.
broke the pendulum myself" Ev-
cry one present then examined the
marble clock, which was ticking
away steadily, and the coincidence
was that it had taken up the time
correctly and was in accord with the
small clock beside it. No one had
touched the black marble clock.
Of this coincidence I can only Of
fer the explanation which must al
ready have occurred to every reader.
Somebody in the house must have
got the clock member to mend the
marble clock without informing the
lady of the house. The clock must
have been set to the right time, and
neither the lady nor her visitors
happened to notice its ticking till it
was observed by the child on the
hearth rug. If this view be dis
proved, then there was genuine
miracle clock going, or ticking at
all events, with broken pendulum.
Such is the weakness Of human tes-
timony that nay friend does not tell
me whether the big clocks hands
were moving or whether it only
licked.

clock that licked without going ex-
cept queer story of a letter, which
is vouched for by the signatures OF
the persons who wrote the narrative
and who stuck to it when cross ex-
amined orally. They were brother
and sister, living together. One
evening a letter came to their house
directed to their care, but address
ed to third person, who did not
live with them. The sister placed
the letter on the chimneypiece,
meaning to put on the proper adj
dress. Presently the letter began
to tick like watch and kept on
ticking. The brother came in and
heard the ticking. They examined
the letter, could find no explana-
ton and next morning carried the
strange epistle to the person for
whom it was meant. The letter
proved to be extremely important,

ing to Haeckel, was not destitute OF
consciousness and knew that 1t was

marble clock may on these principles
have had not only consciousness, but
conscience, and said to itself: Let

NEXT FRIENDS WIN A

The Defendants.
EXCEPTIONS MAY BE TAKEN

Concord, n. H., July 26-Five mo-
tions offered by counsel in the litiga-
tion growing out of the suit for an ac-
counting of the property of Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy. bearing on
questions which have developed in
connection with the case, were denied
by Judge Robert y. Chamberlin in the
Superior Court here.
The motions included propositions
TO restrict the scope of the inquiry to
be made by three masters appointed
by the court to determine the mental
condition of Mrs. Eddy: to grant an
allowance from Mrs. Eddy's property
to defray expenses attending the con-
duct of the case, and to permit 1le de-
PENDANTS, a number of leading Chris
tan Scientists, to become parties to
the inquiry by the masters.
All of these motions were denied
by Judge Chamberlin, and while all
parties shared in the adverse finding
of the court. it was explained by those
familiar with the proceedings that the
decision not to change the scope of

Examiner Says Deposit0rs Are
Protected Better Than
The Average.
INSTITUTIONS OBSERVE ACT
NEW BANKING LAW is RESPON-
SIBLE FOR THE DECREASE IN
NUMBER OF PRIVATE ENTER
PRISES, 1T is CLAIMED.

A statement as to the condition of
the state and private banks in Indiana
just completed by r. B. Oglesby, bank
examiner in the office of the auditor of
state. shows that the actual available
resources carried by the Indiana banks
for the protection of their depositors
are better than the average for any of
the states in the union.
When compared with the statement
of a year ago the report this year
shows that May 30 which Is the date
upon which the condition of the vari-
Gus banks was reported, the banking
houses, other real estate and fixtures,
owned by the state and private banks
of the state, are below one-third Of
the amount of the capital stock The
law requires that the real estate and
fixtures of bank shall not exceed 30
per cent in value of the capital stock
Last year this kind of property was in
excess of so per cent of the capital
stock
The report this year shows a reduc-
tion in overdrafts, the total amount
this year being S365,O3S.94 in the state
banks as against $594, ,6S1 30 last year.
The total amount of overdrafts report
ed by the private banks. however.
May 80 was 1884. .6S1 20. an increase
over the $512,96O65 reported last year
The report this year shows an in
crease in the number of state banks
from 197 to 224 The private banks
have decreased in number from 800 to
212. The decrease in the number of
private banks is due to the anticipa-
tion of the passage of the new bank
ing law. Many private banks became
state or national banks.

ARE ASKED
TO AID DETECTIVES
Pinkerton Agency Sends Pic
lures and Descriptions
To PoStoffice.
IS CENTER OF REQUESTS.
POSTMASTER FREQUENTLY GETS
PETITION FROM SMALLER PLA-
cEs TO AID IN LOCATING cRIMI-
NAILS

Richmond postmen have a chance
to become detectives. The great Pin
kerton detective bureau regards so
very highly the Sherlock Holmes in
stincts of the mail carriers that it
takes them into the service in an in
direct way, that they may aid in the
breakers for whom the bureau is in
search. In the swing" or rest room
at the local federal building, in which
the carriers await the Checking in"
and checking out" process, are a
large number of pictures of criminals
for whom the Pinkerton people are
searching. These pictures are sent
to Richmond by that agency, and the
aid of the carriers is solicited in cap
turing them. The carriers necessar-
lily have to cover all points in the
city and in many instances should
there be criminals hanging around
Richmond, it is a ten-to-one shot the
carriers would meet them at some
time or another. With record and
description, the carriers could easily
identify them and report the same to
the authorities.
The postoffice is center of re-
quests asking for the capture of law
breakers Postmaster Spekenhier
each week receives numerous letters
from large towns and little ones, ask
ing aid in the capture of criminals.
There is rather amusing feature
connected with this. The requests for
aid coming from small towns are al
ways unique. In the majority of cases
these requests come from a point
where the postmaster is also the viii
lage store keeper, the newspaper, the
librarian, mayor, councilman, town de-
tective and in fact the main squeeze"
and it is plainly evident that the writ
ers think the Richmond postmaster
has the same number of duties to per-
form. Stolen pigs and stolen horses
are reported to Postmaster Spoken
hier in goodly numbers from smaller
towns over this section of the coun-
try.

CARRIED A POLICY
FOR THE MURDERER
AIOnzO Fishers Wife Had In
Surance That Was Made
Payable to Him.
HAD KEPT PREMIUM UP.
AMOUNT WAS SMALL BUT 1T is
TAKEN AS FURTHER EVIDENCE
OF HER DEVOTION TO THE
GUILTY MAN.
HAD KEPT PREMIUM UP,

1t has just been learned that Mary
Fisher, the murdered wife of Lon Fish
er. now awaiting transportation to the
Michigan city prison, for the deed
carried small insurance policy in IA
vor of her husband, during his entire
confinement at the county Jail and
each month journeyed to the insurance
office to pay the premium on the poll
cy. The policy only called for $50,
and required a monthly payment of
forty cents, which was a goodly sum
for the woman. This story has been
disclosed, and it is believed it shows
conclusively that Fisher was still loved
by his wife, Notwithstanding his pro-
testations otherwise, and that she was
true to him.
The local agent of the insurance
company which issued the policy is un-
able to find the document, as are the
girls relatives. Fisher, in an insane
rage was searching her papers, it is
said, that he might find notes from
other colored men discriminating his
wife, and he found the policy and de-
stroyed it.
With all the evidence that has been
accommodating in favor of Fishers wife,
in the past few days, it is said, that al
though no matter how great the pref
udice against capital punishment in
this county, the jury that would have
heard the case would have undoubted-
ly decided on hanging. He received a
mild sentence for his deed, when all
the facts of the atrocious murder are
taken into account, is the opinion ex-
pressed generally.

was then able to continue his speech.
Knowing that the affairs of state
had passed to a new administration
he commended to the Cabinets be-
nign care his son, the new Emperor
Viscount Hayashi, the Japanese
minister of foreign affairs, in an in

that the new agreement contained
Japan's whole program in Korea. His
mission accomplished, he said he
would return to Japan on the first

was more than a premier and whose
responsibilities had more than doubl-
ed, adding that Japan's responsibilit-
les in Korea were now enormous.
