MUST KEEP CLOCKS LEVEL
London Timepiece Maker Explains
Cause of Their Failure to Stay
In Order.

London.-The reason why mantel-
piece clocks so often get out of order
is so obvious that it is strange that
attention to it has not been drawn be-
fore. A London clockmaker said:
1T is because mantelpieces are
rarely level If clock meant for a
mantelpiece is not placed in an exact
ly horizontal position 1t is sure to go
wrong. When the clock gains or loses
because of its slanting position, peo-
pie regularly move the hands forward
or backward. as the case may be, in
order to adjust It, Eventually the
clocks hands are moved about so much
that the mechanism gets out of order
and the clock refuses even to tick.
Watches and travelling clocks are
constructed differently from the sta
tionary clock. and they will go in any
position That is why they are relied
upon more than the ornamental man.

SON is MODEL FOR MOTHER
Mans Striking Resemblance to Dead
Parent Makes Possible Painting
of Portrait.

Kansas City, Mo-When James Con-
cannon, % years old. left here recent
ly for his home near Lenora, Kan, he
was happy in the possession of a
painted canvas on which beamed the
features of his mother as before
death. an artistic triumph made pos
sible by his intense filial love and de-
votion and his remarkable resem-
blance to his parent.
When Concannon's mother, y years
old, died last August, he was distress
ed by the fact that a dim old photo
graph was the only likeness of her
he had. Realizing how similar were
his own features to hers. he consult
ed a local artist to learn whether a
lifelike picture of his mother could be
made from the photograph and him
self. He was told that the painting
could be made for $3.50 He labored
on 4 farm seven months and saved
the required amount. 1T is an exact
likeness" said Concannon as he left
the studio with his treasure.

CHEERS FOR THE
UNITED COUNTRY
Union and Confederate VeteT-
ans at Gettysburg.
AN UNUSUAL DEMONSTRATION
DELEGATES Hold Final Conference Be-
fore Celebration OF the Fiftieth
Anniversary OF Great
Battle.

Gettysburg, Patching in three
rousing cheers for the united country,
the delegates from the various States,
the majority OF them veterans o. either
the Union Army or Confederate Army,
brought to a close here the final con
terence before the celebration OF the
fiftieth anniversary Of the Battle OF
Gettys burg in July. The demonstra-
ton, which was entirely eXtemporane-
Gus, came as the climax of series OF
smaller scenes in which the love OF
North and South were pledged.
Suddenly, and as Chairman J. NJ.
SHOEMAKER was rapping for order,
came the call: Three cheers for our
country. the United States OF Amer
ica." Every man present was on his
feet in an instant waving his arms and
shouting, and as the third cheer was
given ii was followed quickly by a
monstrous tiger after which an in
formal jubilee OF representatives from
Virginia, the Carolinas, Texas and
other Southern States with the States
delegates from the North made form
al adjournment impossible.
That the attendance of veterans is
to be fully as large as was first anti
cpated was shown shortly before the
close of the meeting, when Col. Lewis
Z. Better, secretary Of the commits
sion, asked for the figures from each
State One after another gave their
estimates, made from careful
canvass, in which requests for trans
portation were taken as the principal
guide, until a grand total OF 1855
was reached. This includes both the
veterans of the Union and Confederate
armies. OF the total number, Penn
sylvania is expected to send $4,000 and
New York, 10000. The question of
getting the old soldiers to Gettysburg
is being handled by the several State
commissions.
That plenty of time may be given
for the veterans TO arrive before the
opening of the celebration the big
camp will be opened on Sunday, June
%, and accommodations will be pro-
yided for that time until the following
Sunday for army veterans who may
care to remain that long. II is be-
l.eyed that the length of this period
will allow all to get to Gettysburg and
TO return home without difficulty.

LOSES AMERICAN
W|FE'S MILLIONS
Count SzeChenyi. Who Married
Gladys Vanderbilt.
COURT SCANDAL is FEARED.
Countess Home In Budapest the Gen.
ter OF Exclusive Hungarian
Aristocracy-Count Victim
OF a Mining SwindIe.

Budapest. r. II has Just became
known here that the condition Of Count
szechenyi's financial affairs were the
reason for his leaving this city with
the Countess, formerly Gladys Wander
bilt.
Reports that the Countess persuaded
her husband to leave because the Hun
garian aristocracy has snu0oed her
ever since she has been among them
are utterly without foundation. In
fact the Countess since her arrival
here has been popular and has been
received everyw here among the high
est nobility as an equal. Her home
has been the center OF the exclusive
Hungarian aristocracy and her house Is
one of the finest if not the finest. in
Budapest Ii has a magnificent art
collection. which, with the rare fur
nishings of her residence. is valued at
100000.
Count Szechenyi is reported to have
lost more than $4.O00O0U OF his wife's
fortune He has been the victim OF a
mining swindle in which he lost huge
sums on the Budapest and Vienna
boerses. The story runs that the
Court being anxious 10 become Hun
gary's Vanderbilt organized among the
rich landowners and other members Of
the aristocracy what became known as
the "magnate group" for operations OF
a speculative nature.
Everything went well tor time
The Count seemed to have obtained
with his wife scme of her familys
financial talent. Last autumn, how
ever, the Count and his associates
failed to see the financial storm which
was brewing as the result OF the
Balkan War and the consequent stock
exchange depression and the unsettled
international situation which was how
ering over Austria-Hungary. When the
storm of Black Wednesday. October
IL. swept by the "magnate group was
among the crippes OF the financial
battlefield, having lost some 100000.
The Counts personal losses were
estimated at 100000
about a year ago Count Szechenyi
and his friends were interested in coal
and iron mines near Krasso-Szoreny,
close TO the big mines owned by the
Acknowledgements State Railway. The
latter had owned the mines in which
the Count and his friends became in
terested, but their experts having re
ported that they we're OF little value.
they sold them TO private firm. Count
Szechenyi and his friends then secured
an option on them on the strength of
a report made by Belgian engineers
that the property at conservative
estimate was worth sl00,000OQ0
The Count, relying on the report OF
the Belgians, is said to have interested
among others, the big firm OF Delay &
Sepule, of Brussels, who invested Sc
100000. The Count and his friends in
vested similar amount and from
other sources $1,500,OO0 capital was
obtained
Expensive machinery was installed
and fine buildings were erected, but
after months of operation no coal or
iron in paying quantities was found.
Recently Count Szechenyi is said to
have concluded that he had been
