able features of the clock is that by
the use of a barometer, hydro
meter, thermometer and a compa SIS
it will give hourly automatic weather
predictions day in advance, a fea-
ture calculated to appeal particularly
to baseball enthusiasts. Moving pic
lures will be displayed behind its dial
illustrating historical incidents and
showing the faces of all the presi-
dents. Another part will show re-
production of Niagara Falls with real
water, the color of which will be
changed by means of electric lights.
The most remarkable thing about
this clock is it's small size. Standing
in it's case it is only Il feet high, 4
feet wide and 29 inches deep, that is
only a little larger than the old-fash-
Toned grandfather clock. The mech
anism and case will contain in addi-
ton to a piece of wood from every
state in the Union, $40 feet OF electri-
al wiring and 412 electrical connec-
tons Altogether it will display more
lines of activity than any other clock
in the world.

SEVENTEEN HOURS ADAY.

Jesse Lynch Williams in writing his
personal recollections Of Grover Cleve-
land in the April American Magazine
refers to the late ex-president
method Of writing his messages to
congress- He says:
He once spoke of the care with
which he prepared his messages at
Washington. Usually he was days do
ing them. He kept them by him In
a convenient drawer of his desk at
the White House, would take them
out from time to time to make an
notations, to show them to Mr.. Car
Isle. He never did anything hastily
if he could help it. To be sure, the
celebrated Venezuelan message was
o'clock, on the evening he returned
from his fishing trip, to 4:30 in the
morning; was sent to his stenogra-
pher before breakfast and despatched
in its final form to the capitol at
10--but he had been thinking about
it all through his fishing trip. That
was why he took the trip, to get
away from the turmoil and see things
clearly, in perspective. He was GER
tainly one of the hardest toiling
presidents we have ever had work for
us. From in the morning to 2 at
night We're his regular working hours,
but many time he was still at his
desk working his way painstakingly
through mass of papers when the
rising sun looked in through the win
dows Of the east room"

The city is soon to acquire the
most remarkable clock in the world,
and this in spite of the famous time
pieces in European cathedrals which
perform in all sorts Of ways in ad-
dition to giving the time of day. 1t
would take a theatrical troupe, how
ever to go through all the features
which will be combined in Father
Knicgerbocker's new time piece
shortly to be installed. The feature
Of recording the hours will be a mere
incidental to its other activities,
which would make a good sized circus

IN LITTLE, OLD NEW YORK

New York, April 23.--Aroused over
the killing of more than 100 persons
by automobiles during the past Is
months in this city, and by the rap
idly increasing number of serious ac-
cidents caused by the recklessness of
the drivers of cars number of
prominent citizens have inaugurated a
movement for the vigorous prosecu-
ton Of offenders against speed laws.
1t was felt that condition Of af-
fairs under which more persons were
killed on the streets Of New York
than during the entire Spanish-Amer-
lean war was one that demanded a
remedy. 1t is intended to make the
movement just initiated nationwide
in extent and to keep it up until the
speed criminal is exterminated or re-
formed. The great majority Of auto
mobilists who feel that as a class they
have suffered from the excuses of
a few reckless drivers are joining
heartily in the crusade against the
modern juggernaut. The Automobile

how TO BE FREE FROM PAIN

It's wrong to y urself and to those
dear to you to suffer the tortures of
Rheumatism-it's not brave or coura-
eous to endure in silence when there
Is sure relief. Too much Is at stake
for you to put it off. In a month or
year from now, agony may have
twisted fingers or limbs into such ach-
ing knots that you will be unable to
help yourself or work for others. Then
you will be a burden. an expense and
a trial to those you love.
Hills Rheumatic Pills will gently
but quickly drive away every twinge or
ache-loosen up the stiffened joints
give new flexibility to strained and
tortured muscles.
These pills are made from healing
roots and herbs which dissolve the
.poisons of rheumatism, and then
strengthen and gently stimulate Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels, so that these
poisons are passed from the body-and
your aches and pains along with them.

A BASEBALL SERMON
PREACHED
SPOKANE MINISTER AND "FAN"
plscouRsEs UPON RELIGION
IN UNIQUE STYLE.

Spokane. April 23-Rev. DR.. William
j. Hindley, minister of the gospel and
fan, preached a baseball sermon to
his flock in Pilgrim Congregational
season in Spokane, speaking of life as
a confined rooter would eXpound the
rules of the game. He talked o. the
battery, fielders, basemen, coaches,
umpire and the man at bat, saying
among other things:
For the sake of the team and fer
the sake of the game, stand up 20
the plate. If you can't hne out a
home run, maybe you can drop a
Texas Lacquer back of sec md that will
do almost as much good. But bend
every effort to meet the ball and
not to fan out when there are men
on the bases waiting to score.
There may be two or three men en-
bases, with two meh out and two
strikes against the batsman in the last
half of the ninth. you've seen the
situation right here in Spokane.
Your hit, which may seem a small
thing in itself, will mean victory for
SOlHo one, willie failure 10 COUHeCt
with the ball results in defeat for the
others as well. Fight until the last
man is out; God Almighty doesn't like
a gutter.
II am a patron of baseball because
I like the game; because it affords
relief from the nerve-racking tension
of business, and because we have no
American sport that is so absolutely
free from faint. If it is to be kept
clean the good people must line up in
front of the gate and those in charge
must be made to see that they have
to reckon with the better class.
IF there is any man in the world
who has my entire sympathy it is
the umpire. He is ostracized by the
players and regarded with suspicion
by the public-and, I think, unjustly
I believe he deserves more considera-
ton, because he is on top of the play
all the time and knows what's go
ing on every minute of the game"

Hills Rheumatic Pills

have been in use for 70 years without
ingle change in the formula. They
are the only remedy we know which
really cures rheumatism without leav-
ing trouble just as bad in its place.
Hills Rheumatic Pills are purely veg
etable. They contain no harmful min
erals, such as iodides and salycilates,
to upset the digestion or weaken the
heart. They cure by aiding nature to
throw off the poisons which cause
Rheumatism. 1t only takes a short
time and you are free from every ache
and pain and feel years younger as
the deadly uric acid poison is dissolved
and passed off as nature intended.
We have letters from over $4,000
grateful people who have been freed
from pain and made well by this Won
derfll discovery.

harmless but wonderful healing herbs
and roots used in Hills Rheumatic
Pills will do for YOU

There seems to be a very general
Impression in the inner circles of
Tammany Hall that the organization
should nominate next fall William r.
Jerome for district attorney. Four
years ago Jerome. single handed and
alone, won a reelection to the district
attorneys office by over 5000 plu-
rality, defeating the Tammany, In
dependence league, republican and So
sialist candidates. 1t has been fire.
quently said that had Jerome been
renominate in 1905 at Tammany's
hands there would have been no DEM

club of America, which is recognized
as the most influential body of mo-
torists in the country, has taken ac-
ton to discourage carelessness and
violation of speed laws. One of the
first results of the agitation that has
been started has been to stimulate
the metropolitan police force to I'M
wonted activity, while the local judges
have done their part by dealing
severely with all cases of overspeedng
brought before them. Altogether it
begins to look as though the diversion
of running down pedestrians in New
York streets may soon become too
dangerous to be attractive even to
the most hardened automaniac.

There is now good reason for per-
sons with bundles to be afraid to go
home in the dark in New York In
deed Police Commissioner Bingham
has issued an order to his minions
of the law instructing them to arrest
all persons carrying bundles late at
night. The order is not directed
against the person carrying home pro-
visions for an early breakfast, but
as a result of the latest fashion
among thieves of wrapping up their
plumber in neat bundles and strolling
past policemen in perfect safety. So
far the new process has not resulted
in the capture of any criminals, but
it has brought about the. capture of
a number Of perfectly innocent per-
sons and may even result in interna-
tional complications. Several hun
dred loves of bread, beefsteaks and
the like have in vain been declared
contraband by the police, until the
merchants in districts where workers
go home late threaten to bring suit
on the ground that their trade is be-
ing ruined The international COM
plication was added this week when a
policeman stopped British citizen
late at night and took him and the
bundle he was carrying to the nearest
station house. Examination there re-
vealed the fact that the bundle con-
tanned a hat which had just been pur-
chased and had also been badly
damaged through it's rough seizure by
the officer of the law. The indignant
Englishman threatens to take the
matter up through his local counsel
unless he is furnished with new hat.
Altogether the police seem to have
tackled ticklish job in attempting
to stop persons from going home with
packages at night, unless they be of
the liquid form.
New York seems to be invention
mad. Every new device in the field
of scientific advance from flying ma
chimes to needles finds quick and
reception here This is
in marked contrast to the attitude of
only a few years ago when the city's
attitude was one of skepticism which |
laughed even at the telephone to say
nothing of many other inventions |
which it now uses. Father Knicker-
booker has experienced a change Of |
heart in this respect which bids fair
to make this city the scientific center
Of the country Already, for example,
two companies for the manufacture
Of commercial airships have been or
ganized here, and the Hotel Aston
will soon have in operation here on it's
roof an airship station where the
visitor who cares to drop in for tea
by the aerial route can draw up in
mis- air carriage. The enthusiasm for
wireless biography, having captured
the city, has spread to the suburbs.

cities equipped with wireless stations
or on board incoming and outgoing
steamers. Another craze is for the
use of carrier pigeons, many persons
preferring to use these birds for the
interchange of letters instead of the
regular mails. Altogether the city
seems to have been seized with q de-
sire to live in the air as much as
possible, and it only remains for some
one to discover way of living on it
as we'll.

American Recognition and Supplies Of
Arms have Greatly Strengthened
Nie1raguan Revolutionists

Bluenelds. Nov. 27-The Norwegian
steamship Utstein arrived here yes
terday from New Orleans with 1000
Mauser rifles, 250.00O rounds Of am
munition and several pieces Of light
artillery for the revolutionists. The
steamer also brought several Ameri-
cans to operate the guns.
The followers of Gen. Estrada are
elated over what they claim has thus
far proven successful advance
against Zelaya and are sanguinely
predicting the fall Of Managua, the
Nicaraguan capital, within a short
time. This air Of hope has been con-
siderably strengthened by the attitude
of the United States threatening a de-
mand on Zelaya for reparation for the
death of the two Americans, Grace
and Cannon.
Cannon and Grace Put Up Is Targets
In an interview yesterday Gen. Cha
MORO, the revolutionary leader, said
that when Grace and Cannon, the
Americans. who it is said were exc
cuted by President Zelaya were cap
tured by Gen. Toledo near Greytown.
Zelaya ordered them shot Toledo re-
fused to obey the order, but had them
placed in the front ranks, where they
were open to Gen. Chamorro's attack.
They were uninjured, however, and
subsequently were sent to FL Castillo
fort. where they were confined to the
dungeons Gen. Chamorro says he
knows nothing further regarding
Grace and Cannon.
ChamOrro declares the blockade of
Greytown is effective by sea and land,
and is confident that the troops of
Zelaya soon will give in He left last
night for Greytown with 800 recruits
and a party Of sharpshOoters.
