The Bryan free silver club will
hold a meeting' at .the court house
to-morrow evening tor the purpose
of considering "reform" measures

silver people are not more success
ful in carrying- out reforms than
the populists have been, the city
will probably not be turned up side
down. Lincoln county has been
under populist rule for three years,
and if there have been any reforms
for good, we have failed to notice
them; while on the other hand there
has been a steady increase in the
floating indebtedness of the county.
There are reformers, but they are
not members of the Lincoln county

TESTING A WATCH.
How English Timepieces Are Tried as to
Their Regularity.
There has been watchmaking at Cov
entry as long as there has been a watch
trade in England, which is for the last
200 years or thereabout. There used to
he three centers of the English trade,
these being Liverpool, Coventry and
London. Now there are practically but
two Coventry and Birmingham. The
test of a good watch is that it should
obtain a Kew certificate, and of the
watches that go to Kew 75 per cent are
from Coventry.
At Kew no watch has yet succeeded
in getting the 100 marks which signify
perfection, but Coventry has come near
est, with 92, and is always well to the
front. The Kew test is no light one.
The watch is tested in every position
and its rate registered, not only per day, .
but per hour. It is hung by its peudaur,
hung npside down, hung on each side,
placed dial down and back down and at
any number of angles, and to finish up
with is baked in an oven and frozen in
an ice pail. 2STo wonder that a watch
with a Kew certific:e is a comfort to
its owner.
"When it is considered that it makes
18,000 vibrations an hour and must not
vary a second a veek, while a quarter
turn of its two time screws, meaning
the millionth of an inch, will make a
difference of 20 seconds a day, the deli
cacy of its adjustment will be appreci
ated, as will also the risk of intrusting
its repair to any but skillful hands.
Jewelers' Review.
Fishing For Tuna, Santa Clara.
The fish ranged from 4 to G feet in
length and from 75 to 300 pounds in
weight, judging from their size. Liko
wolves they had rushed in from the deep
sea and were moving down the coast,
stampeding a school of smelts and flying
fish and driving them out of the water,
snapping at them and following them
up into tho air. Moving on, we found
n0 school of unfortunates, a brownish
paicn ot soiKt lisn m uie -.vaier, into
which the tunas were charging.
I have fished in tho haunts of tho tar
pon and taken almost every game fish
to be found in Amcxican waters, but
from this exhibition of tho velocity and
wonderful power of the tuna I did not
believe it could be Raptured with a 24
ounce rod or a tarpon outfit. We baited
with large smelt and began trolling
through the Fehool. I soon had a strike,
and, while not nnused to surprises, I
lost 300 feet of line and tho tip of my
rod so quickly that I hardly realized
what had happened. My companion had
his fine rod jerked from his hands, and
I believe the fish was of the largest size,
which nothing could stop. Sportsman's
