A few minutes before ~ o'clock noon
every day in the year young man
walks into certain room OF the main

ba. He glances at the various clocks
in the room and then goes over to n
apparatus.
He watches the clocks to his left
closely and waits for the hands to
reach IL 90. AS the second hand ap-
proaches the 60 on THE dial he pre-.
pares to shift n switch. The clock IL
so finely adjusted that when the sec
ond hand points to 90 1t exactly marks
the beginning Of n new minute.
AS It touches the 90 the switches
are thrown on. That starts n signal

The clock which keeps the time in
the observatory ticks on. With each
tick there Is contact of electric
points. A circuit Is closed, and an In

These gaps are for the purpose OF
giving listeners at tue other ends Of
the great system of wires a chance to
know what part of the minute the
clock is on. So 1t goes up to the last
minute.
At the twenty-ninth second there is
again the skipping of one second.
Finally the clock gets around to the

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Sept. 30.-Jew-
elry valued at $4,000 and $1,000 in gold
coin was stolen by a robber who shot
and killed Con Ying, wife of All Louis,
a rich Chinese merchant, as the woman
was sleeping this morning between her
two infant children.
A daughter of the victim was sleep
ing in the room when the shot was
fired but was not awakened. Another
daughter found her mother dead with
bullet wound in her heart.
All Louis had gone away at 6 o'clock
this morning and the robbery was not
discovered until his return this after
noon.
The police at first thought the crime
had been inspired by revenge and ex-
pected that the Chinese could aid them
to clear it up.
Several cleWs are being investigated
in hopes of charging the criminal.
The bullet with which the woman
was slain was found embedded in the
pillow.
According to the girl who found the
body she heard a noise soon after her
father left the house, but thought only
that some object had fallen to the floor
of the other room.
At 7 o'clock she went to call her
mother and found her dead.

Sailors of German Fleet Sing "My
Country, 'Tis of Thee,f' as
100000 People Cheer
Lustily
[By Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Twenty-five
thousand men of arms today marched
past the massed representatives and
special ENJOYS of thirty-seven nations,
while 100000 citizens shouted them
selves hoarse in cheers. The great
military parade was the climax of thhe
Hudson Fulton celebration.
The most conspicuous reception of
the day went to the sailors of the
German fleet, picked body of mag
nificent men, who, as they reached
the reviewing stand, fell into the for
NAL slap-slap of the parade goose
step and burst into MY Country, Tis
of Thee" with an overwhelming vol
ume of bassos and a fervor that took
away the breath of the listeners.
The people sat silent for a moment
and then, rising to their feet, cheered
until their voices gave way.
Between the cheers for the Germans
and the thunder of applause for the
precision of drill with\which the West
Point cadets moved past, the charac-
teristic humor of an American crowd
found opportunity for expression in a
thousand familiar salutations to those
in the lines.
Trappings Fascinate
There was ample evidence that gold
braid, bugles and the roll of the drums
have lost none of their fascination for
the great mass of the public.
For the first time during the cele-
bration all the small towns within
striking distance of New York sus-
pended business to watch the parade
of the sailors and marines of seven
visiting nations. the regular soldiers,
the bluejackets, the national guard and
the naval militia of the United States
and the New York police.
So many men representing so many
branches of the war departments of
the world have not been seen on Amer
lean streets before, so many wearing
colors have not been seen since the
days of the civi lwar
The total count of those in line to-
day outnumbered the enlisted roll of
the American regular army before the
Spanish-American war. Four thou
sand and four hundred policemen kept
the crowd in line.
First came Admiral Sir Edward Sey-
men, the bluejackets and ma
rines of the British fleet, then the Ger
mans and then the men of the Neither
lands, the midshipmen in company
front with their sailors bringing up
the rear.

the United States, the coast artillery

Montana Men Are Among The
Dead And Injured In Wreck

Chicago, Sept. Is. Six men were
killed and dozen seriously injured

handle passenger train crashed into
the rear end of Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget Sound stock train at Twelfth
and Rockwell streets.
The victims were stockmen. many
of whom were sleeping in the caboose
of the stock train crew.
No persons on the. passenger train
were injured.
| While the accident occurred few
minutes after midnight the stock
train was SO completely demolished
and the victims so mutilated that six

| the union station bound for Gin
cinnati. 1t was moving rapidly and
had just rounded sharp curve near
a street intersection when the engi-
neer sighted the stock train only a
/ few yards in front.
After applying the emergency
brakes the engineer and firemen leap
ed from the cab, escaping injury.
No opportunity for escape was CIV
en- the sleeping stockmen in the ca
boose and the sound of the warning
whistle was drowned in the crash as
the heavy locomotive ploughed through
the caboose and three other cars.
Fire added to the terror of the
wreck and greatly hampered the
work Of rescue.

day the following list of injured was
obtained:
