THE OLDEST CLOCK.

ISiH-clul CiirrmimnipiH'i,
Nkw Havkn. March 2a. Tho oldest
clock of American manufacture that now
exists is tho projierty of Mr. A. ,1. Ed
wards of this city. For years it stood
undisturbed in tlio old garret, whero it
was placed for storage, no ono Iming
nwaro of its great value. It was niado
by Uitloon Roberts of Bristol, Conn., the
first man to make clocks in this coun
try. According to tho best historical
writers and nutiinmrhiuR, no clocks woro
manufactured in America provioun to
1800, at which tiiuo Mr. Uoborts llrst
lilacod ills timepieces on the market
His clocks wero made with tho greatebt
care, and much time was spent in per
fecting them. They were all of thestylw
commonly known as "hall clocks, aboiit
0 foot in height, handsomely finished
and a recognized boparntopiecoof furni
ture in which tho owner always took
great pride.
Mr. Huberts numbered his clocks in
tho order of their inanufayturo. tho lirst
Mug No. I, tho second 2, etc. Of the
first ono made only pieces hnvo been
found, and until tho discovery of this lat
est relio No. ill), which is now in the
rooms of the historical society at Dristol
was biippo.wl to bo thu oldest in exist
ence. All of tho clocks now intact tniulo
ky Mr. Itolierts aro leganlod as great
prizes, and fabulous prices hnvo been
paid for them. When thereforo tho num
ber 7. proving it to bo tho seventh clock
made, was found on thu inside of tho
timepiece discovered at Unionvillo. its
great value was at onco realized.
Tho clock is a decidedly ancient look
ing tintektstjier and plainly shows its
great age. It is over 0 feet tall, with a
broad faco and iieculiarly slmiicd hnnds.
I Tho dial is remarkably clear and fresh
ami can no easily read many loot distant.
Tho woodwork is well preserved, and
tho works aro in almost as good condi
tion ns wlien they wero made. When
found, tho works wero rusted, but they
hnvo since been cleaned and tiro now In
I running condition.

Nr.w YiiiiK, Mm ch Sil. Today I hap
ne.l to turn over some -old bookji.'nnd'
in ono of them I found the pictures

was only one thing to lie s.ild in favor of
hustles, and that was that they kept the
gown from Mailing in tho mud, but
nothing could hnvo been moio ungrace
ful, unnatural or ridiculous. Now the
styles have reached a point whero wom
en look their very host. Thoso who ie
qniro drapery can liavo it, thoso who look
best in classical gowns can wear them
without being eyed askance, and thoso'
who prefer snug eltects aro ut lilierty to
wear thorn, hut it seems that women aro
never satisfied with tho samo thing long.
If they could chango their faces, they
would do it.
1 hnvo nover known a woman to l'o
satisfied with her own appearance yet.
Sho would rather hnvo dark eyes, or
blond hair, or a different shaped chin,
or something. Sometimes sho is dissat
isfied with tho very thing that liiakes her
most attractive to others. And so she
is now on tho verge of hoops. Wo must
let her wear them if sho wants to; but,
oh, what it guy she will look! for tho
hoopskirt is ono of tho fashions that will
not appear beautiful, no matter how
often wo seo them.
Let us look upon tho two pictures nud
boo what women woro capable of four
years ago nud let tlio women draw the
lesson or not, us thoy please. Altuough
nu authority on what other women shall
wear, I wear what I ploaso myself, and
you will never seo mo incased in hoops
nor Ixmrlng it back breaking bustle.
I thought 1 had seen nil tho now spring
fabrics, but they keep coming, and every
week hns it now things to hoc. This
week I hnvo been reveling in tlio dainty
wash fnbrics, and such nvnriotyl Thoro
is really no end to tliuiu, and thoy aro so
pretty ami so very duinty. Somo of tho
zephyrs nud French ginglinms are us soft
as silk muslin to tlio touch. Ono I no
ticed and thonght very delicate. It had
it ground of tho faintest gray, with fine
satin weavo strips on it in graduated
widths of white. In tlio center of each
cluster of white stripes was it palo pink
one. Another had it ground of slato gray
zephyr ginghntn, with white woven
stripes tin eighth of an inch wide, which
formed plaids !1 inches sipiaro. Tlio
white was thrown up so well that it
looked like a lattice work. Another
pretty pattern had a broken and ini:;ed
plaid made of three or four shades of
lirown, with hero and thoro a narrow
red thread.
Tho cotton cliallies uro full as pretty
us tho French wool ones, with tho same
cxiiuisiio patterns ami colors, liiose,
when trimmed with lace and ribbons or
velvet, aro unite us pretty to look at,
und they cost but lo cents it yard, whilo
tho others are from r0 to 7o.
A pretty gown shown is niado in semi
classical style. Tho bands tlint trim it
aro white sateen with black braiding.
Tho guiinpo and under sleeves aro of
whito jaconet an old material revived.
It lias it peculiar satiny surface that is
extremely hantlsonie, consideiing that
tho effect is obtained by soino special
treatment of simple cotton. This par
ticular gown is of tan and black stripes,
and tho skirt is cut slightly flaring. The

other gown is of the now cotton with
cheviot effect, and it is called Scotch
Ichoviota. It is in two shades of purple
woven so as to show broken linos, which
1 appear to end in every direction and
1 (start from nowhere, Tho girdle and
lajs'ls aro made of braided pique, and tho
I guim)" is of jaconet.
All tho cotton goods, particularly the
above mentioned, the orgaudio lawns
I und chmnbrays and also the sateens, aro
to bo made as tastefully and carefully as
, if they were velvet and silk. A favorite
I stylo is to have what is called a Spanish
flounce, half tho depth of tho skirt set on
with it gathered heading or a flat bias
baud. This is iiuMly a matter of taste,
and almost anything goc now in shape,
color utul trimmings.

Cllltvoi), March 2:1. "I believe that

away from the neighborhood of Jackson
park next summer It may lxi merely
overconlldonco mi my part, but I feel
coiuparalltely easy collect ning our abil
ity to inakii short nhrift of these gentry
if they attempt any of their nefarious
practices within the territory over which
the exposition authorities have jurisdic
tion." That Is what .John lionlleld remaiked
last Sunday afternoon as wo sat in the
handsomely appointed drawing room
ono might almost term it "salon" of his
Wabash aveniui lesidence. There Ih no
need of telling who Captain .loliu llou-
fiehl is, or of going into tho details con-'
corning his iicrsounlity. Tlio fame of
that Vidoci of Vidocqiies is interna
tional. His name is just us much of a
household word in Scotland Yard as it is
in the now slumbering hotbeds of an
utchyup ill the northeast quarter of Chi
cago. Luwbieakois, whether of high or
low ilogiee. fear and diead him; law en
forceis honor him as a man and admire
his ability and gonitis.
When Ihoiefore the inaiiagoinont of
tho Columbian exposition decided that
in addition to prouding a show for it
guests and tanking provision for their
health, comfort and convenience whilo
here it was equally incumbent upon
them to make provision for their piotec
tiou against the criminal element, they
naturally looked in tlio diiect ion of theox
inspectorof tho Chicago police force, and
so it came about that lie was gazetted as
chief of the secret service bureau of tho
World's fair. For over six mouths ho
lias boon engaged in prcpailng his plana
and perfecting his organization, receiv
ing throughout tho lieuity support of Di
rector of Works Humbum. Tlio pre
paratory work is now completed, and
tho opening day of tho World's fair will
nlso witness the inauguration of such a
jierfect system of criminal espionage us
has never before been attempted at any
previous enterprise, of this character.
Tito secret sorvicu bureau will bo com
posed of somo 100 detectives of experi
ence, two-thirds of whom have already
been or will bo delegated by the police
departments of 150 American cities. Tills
force will bo strengthened by representa
tives of tho pick and flower of the de
tective services of England, (lerinany,
France, Italy, Spain and Austro-Hun-gury.
Tlio World's fair grounds aro to
bo divided into six districts, ami each
district into two sections. Each district
will bo officered by it captain reporting
direct to Chief Doutleld, und in addition
by two lieutenants rcortiug to the cap
tain aforesaid. Tlio force will bo appor
tioned out between these divisions, but
every week one-half the force in each
division will bo transferred to tho next,
and so on around the circle.
Thus one week it detective from New
York will bo traveling with it colleague
from Sail Francisco, tho next with a
man from Loudon, the next with one
from New Orleans. In this way they
can exchange experiences utul informa
tion. If tlio Now Yorker spots tt crook
of whom th'i Londoner has hitherto Won
in iguoriiiii.e. the latter will have thu
man photographed on his brain in the
twinkling of an eye, and the next week
ho can point him out to his brother from
llerlin or Cincinnati or Montreal. Vy
this system of lotutiou, however, every
member of the force will 1m afforded an
opportunity during tho six months of
doing service in every section of tho fair,
so that recreation and business will be
happily blended.
Hut the most rematkablo feature of
the scheme is the plan by which the sci
ence of electricity will bo brought into
play in order to corral it rogue tho mo
ment his feet am planted inside of tho
gates. E.ieli section is to lo provided
with two telephones, or 2 1 in all. There
will also lie it telephone manned by nu
experienced sleuth at each and every
one of tlio numerous entrances and exits.
These instruments will have instantane
ous communication ouu with tlio otiier
and will also comu into it switchboard in
the headquarters of Chief Honfield over
a private line. Suppose, then, that Light
Fingered Dick passes into the grounds
through tho Fifty-seventh sheet en
trance. Tho detective on duty spots him
instanter, and in '.SO seconds tho fact that
liu is preying about is known in every
division and to tho chief as well. Like
wise it is known at tho exits. Should
there happen to bo any of tlio force that
tiro not acquainted with his personal up
poaivuco, it description can bo tele
phoned in a tew seconds more. As a re
Milt Mr Dick is trapped, Ho can't get
out tlio way ho came in. and the exits
uio closed on him.
In w'use lie is wanted on general princi
ples or in iiisu lie commits any overt act
and escapes ids victim for the moment
ho is locked in just as securely as though
heweieonthe insido of the bolts and
bars of tho county jail. He may wait
ui il every man and woman of tho day
have turned their face homeward, but ho
is tlieie soniewheie over the broad acres,
and there to stay until lie feels a heavy
hand on his shoulder or the jingle of
huudctitls at his wiists. There is no hope
for him after ho has once got inside. Ho
is a caged bird. And what then? That.
Mr. Dick, we will tell you later.
