CLOCK FAILED
To Strike As Interesting Finale To
Minister'S Discourse

Mr.. Frank A. Woolison, formerly
of this C y,now city editor of the
Coshocton Tribune, tells in that pa
per of last Saturday of an amusing
incident that occurred in this city
some years ago In the following en-
tertaining manner:
Town clocks have long been known
as erratic pieces of mechanism but
in all probability the court house
clock at Mt. Vernon played the mean
est trick on a Mt. Vernon pastor,
that was ever perpetrated upon any
man.
The divine was Rev. Francis A.
WILDER of the Presbyterian church,
who by the way, Is one of the most
learned men In the Presbytery, ana
who is now filling a chair in west
ern college
DR.. WILDER was preaching from q
text taken from the third chapter OF
Ecclesiastes in which 1t is stated that

to laugh, time to mourn and time
to dance, etc. His subject of course
was "Time."
The discourse was an able one ana
an application OF the arguments ad-
vanced was cleverly done. The audi.
ence had listened with rapt attention
and 1t was really with a feeling oi
regret that his hearers listened to the
pastors closing words.
In order to make deeper I'm
preston upon the audience, the
pastor finished two or three minutes
before eight o'clock He then ask
cd the audience to bow their heads
in silent devotion until the court
house clock struck the hour o.
eight.
The big auditorium was as still
as a tomb for several minutes, per
haps five OF them but stlll the clocl
did not strike. Then watches be
gan to snap here and there oyel
the room and the pastor became Wis
ably nervous.
Finally he dismissed the congre
cation with a brief prayer and a

face was turned upward to the cour
house tower. The clock there regis
tered sos p. m. and it is a know
fact that the clock did not strik,
s that night.
AS far as could be learned ther
was nothing wrong with the clocl
for 1t struck all right the next morn
ing at o'clock in the evening.
However the effect of the sermo
was not detracted from by the un
usual incident.

MISTAKE
In The Date OF The Wedding
Invitations
Delayed Marriage OF A Mans
field Man
(Mansfeld News)


1t was the oldest thing about how
Louie Barr got tangled up regarding
the date on which he was to be mar
ried and hurried off to New London
Tuesday under the impression that
ne was to be married on Wednesday,
when in reality he was not to embark
on matrimony's proverbially stormy
sea until Thursday afternoon, the
ceremony having actually been per-
formed yesterday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock.
AS has been previously mentioned,
Mr.. Barr and his bride have been ac-
quainted for some considerable time
and as his friends have known for
quite a while that they were to be
married eventually it may be consid-
cred as a foregone conclusion that
they too knew something of their own
plans along this line.
1t is also to be presumed that they
gave careful consideration to- the
matter of possible dates for the pros.
sible dates for the prospective cere-
mony and one can almost picture them
seated in opposite corners of the par
lor in New London poring over cal
endar and discussing suitable dates.
So they finally decided that they
would take the momentous step on
"wednesday, Feb. 49," and the order
for the handsomely engraved an
nouncements was sent to the engrav-
ing house in accordance with that
/ decision.
But the people at the engraving
house had a calendar of their own
and when they consulted it before en-
craving the plate they discovered that
there is no "Wednesday, Feb. TO-" this
year, and naturally came to the con.
clusion that Feb. 10" was the correct
date and that the order had been in
tended for Thursday instead OF
"Wednesday" so they made the cor
rection.
But Louie didn't know of the error
and had Wednesday in mind as being
the day for the marriage. Mansfield
relatives were also informed that the
marriage was to take place on Wed
nesday. But the engraved announce
ments clearly stated that it was to bt
Thursday, Feb. 10, and so it was.
The 1909 calendar shows that Feb
10 came on Wednesday last year ant
the natural presumption is that il
deciding upon the date they were look
ing at the CALENDAR of that year in
stead of the 1910 calendar.
But all who have been let in OIL

LONG CHASE
Of Over 5000 Miles For
Murder Suspects

Boston, Mass, Fb. 1.-two officers
of the Massachusetts State police
have left Boston for Bucharest, Rou-
mania, to bring back Vahan Nalband-
ian, a young Armenian who has been
sought for several months, charged
with the murder of Minas X. Monjian
in Lynn last summer. After chase
of 5000 miles Nalbandian was arrest
ed last week in Roumania.
The chase for Nalbandan began
last July, after he had been indicted
for murder by the Essex county grand
jury. The police traced him first to
New York, thence to England, and
then through Germany Only by jump
ing from one city to another did the
young Armenian escape arrest in Ger
many. On several occasions foreign
officials, acting through instructions
from Lynn, were ready to lay their
hands on him TO find ne mad disappear
ed.
For several months Nalbandian
kept working south through Europe
me police lost trace of him, and then
relocated him at Alexandria, Egypt.
Through an acquaintance of the Lynn
chief of police, who had been in Alex
andria, the chief got in communica-
tion with mission priest in that ci-
ty and persuaded HIM to keep Lynn
informed as to Nalbandian's move
ments.
The priest followed Nalbandian to
Silistria in Bulgaria. Here Nalban-
dian evidently thought himself safe,
for the police learned that he had
started small clothing store there
The Lynn police were beginning to
despair of again getting track of the
murder suspect when they received
cablegram stating tina he had been
arrested, while visiting Alexandria,
Roumania. The Massachusetts au-
thoritles lost no tine in getting extra
dition papers and despatching two of
, mcers on the long journey to bring
= back Nalbandian to answer to the
: charge of murder.
= A peculiar feature of the case is
that the evidence against Nalbandiar
is almost wholly circumstantial. Mon

PROSPERITY GOES ABOARD

Last July cablegram from Lon
don was published in q Columbus
newspaper under these headlines;
American Prosperity Sweeps Across
Ocean and Elecuifies Europe" The
cablegram contained an interview
with Daniel Guggenheim, the copper
king, who said to an English repor-
ter that he had crossed to England
slxty-odd times during the last forty
years and added: "The reflex of
American prosperity is becoming
more evident in England every month
We felt the trade and financial prices
first; you felt 1t last. We get inn
provement first; you get 1t later.
From now on you will find your trade
with America getting better and bet
ter every month"
A few days later the monthly re-
port of the port of New York for
the month OF July showed the ap-
praised value Of imported precious
stones and pearls was $5,112,957, as
compared with $1,249,256 for July
1908.
1t Is comforting at this dme to
look over old files and read such ev!.
dences of prosperity. Did you get
your share of the jewels? Or is your
prosperity still electrifying Europe:
Look at your meatless table or into
the workingman' meatless dinner
pail and see.
