' from the Phdade’phue Inquirer
“Within two yean, there will not be a
key-wii. ding watch movement made m this
was made to a reporter
Jterdav by one of the highest officials of
. watch manufacturing company, who has
the figures of American watch production,
consumption and exportation at his tongue’s
end It was given in answer to a question
to whether the key-winding grades of
American-made timepieces were not disap
pearing from the market
“Ves the key-winder will soon cease to
v„ a staple in the watch market.” he contin-
“and will be relegated to the curiosity
shelf as a star whose light has shone in by
7,ne davs The key-winder is dying a
fstrral death, and the marvelous success of
hat later improvement in timepieces, the
lm-wmdi.ig attachment, is due to the
progressive spirit and ideas of American
£2wh manufacturers, and the readiness
with which that rasny-minde, body the
public has appreciated the skill embodied
in stem-winding watches.
AMERICAN REPEATING WATCHES.
“There are more fine watches carried by
Americans than are used by any other na
tion in the world. The American manufact
urer cot content with routing the Swiss
makers from the profitable fields which
they so long enjoyed a monopoly of, parti
cularly in the line of what the trade regards
as good and fine watches, has at lust en
croached upon the hitherto exclusive pre
serves of the Swiss by beemnmg the manu
facture of repeaters. These watches are
only made in the superlative grade.and their
cost runs up into the hundreds. American
watch companies are now making a re
peater which embodies every improvement
known to horologists and placing the finest
grade on the market at nearly #IOO less
than the corresponding quality of Swiss
manufacture is selling for, and our chrono
graphs and horse-timing watches aro out of
sight ahead of the Swiss. Not only this,
but the American is justly pronounced the
superior watch because the intricate
are made by the finest watch machinery in
the world, and results are obtained that
cannot be found in a hand-made watch.
"Swiss watches of all grades are gradu
ally disappearing from American marts.
Tfie foreigners are simply not in it with
American machinery, American materials,
and, better than all, American brains to
fight them. Waltham, Elgin, Illinois,
Hampden and the few otter watches made
in the United States have slowly forced the
foreigners out of the country. It was not a
battle between national prejudices. Our
own watches were and are clearly the best
beyond all question. If the fact of almost
entirely supplanting the Swiss watch in
America comparatively within few years is
not sufficient we have only to mark the
sale of our watches in other countries, yes,
in Switzerland itself.
OUR TIMEKEEPERS IN AUSTRALIA.
“Australia is the largest consumer of
American watches, and thousands of them
travel there every year, to be worn and
their fine time-keeping qualities appreciated
by the wide-awake Australians, who are
much in favor of American goods at any
rate. " The palat.al offices of the American
watch companies in London, Paris and
other live and commercial centers of Europe
speak very loud for the present position our
goods occupy in tbe Old World, not to
speak of the future that is in store for them.
And, unless I am much at fault in my cal
culations, an American watch company
will soon have an office in Calcutta, and
will invade the Indian market.”
“But about key-winding watches and the
natural death they are dying!”
“No one considers the key-windine
American watch any the less a monument
to national inganuity and skill because it is
going out of the market. It has served the
public well, as its successor the stem-winder
will serve them better. How many people
do you know who cairv key-winders?
Maybe a dozen. How many dozens do you
see with a stem-winder? They are allup
with tne times. And the times in America
says that it takes up too much of one’s time
to pull out a key. open the back lid and
spend some valuable m ments iu carefully
winding up the timepiece.
“Stem-winding is altogether a different
occupation. One is not compelled to stop
while performing that operation, nor look
while one winds, nor open the waten. St“m
winding may be and generally is done while
the wearer pursues another action. The e
differences in favor of time saving on the
one hand and time losing on the other have
gradually put the key-winder on the shelf.
That is not all.
PENDANT SET WATCHES.
“The remarably skillful improvements in
the winding apparatus of American watches
as applied to stem-winde'rs have made them
objects not only to be desired for their ac
curate timekeeping. but tor the convenience
embodied in them. The pendant-setting
arrangement is one of the chief of these.
No more opening of the watch lid and re
moval of the bevel—with the attendant an
noyances of splitting finger nails and
scratching fingers. Simply a twist of the
stem aud the hand setting apparatus is
iti direct communication with the stem, but
separated from the winding gear. A slight
back movement, the hands are reset, and
the stem is ready to do winding duty again.
Other valuable improvements which the
keen-sighted manufacturers have not
deemed worth their while to apply to key
winding watches—doubtless anticipating
the future when they would disappear as
staple goods—have been added to stem
winders, and to-day the Amer.can pendant
set, stem-winding watch movement, from
lowest to highest grade, stands the superior
ot any corresponding grades of Swiss or
Eurcpeau watches.
KEY-WINDERS SLOWLY DISAPPEARING.
“An idea may be gained of the fast dis
■Wms prestige of the key-winding
watch, when it is Known that the monthly
output of key movements from American
’n , , n f s i s °hly about 2,000, against over
iw,ooo stems. There is no city trade for
mem, the demand being from small country
towns, where tho old idea that the ke>-
vi rider is tho only watch still holds sway.
Iveys are only made in one grade—tne very
Cheapest—and their sale is consequently re
stricted to an ordinary trade. The com
panies are slowly curtailing their output of
Key- winners each month, and the calcula
tion is that within the two years they will
have turned the tide of demand entirely in
lue directum of stem-winders.

Literary Millionaires.
N. Y. Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger.
Men of millions are no longer contenting
themselves with the ambition to control
great c rporations and to attain high polit
ical positions; they are seeking literary
fame. The number of millionaires who
write hooks and magazine articles already
makes a considerable list, and the number
is increasing. William Waldorf Astor,
who is believed so be the richest man in the
world, has written and published two his
torical romances. Andrew Carnegie, who
has made his millions making iron and
steel, has written a successful book on the
American democracy. Henry Clews
recorded Ills twenty-eight years’ experience
in Wall street in a book that, uas
had a large sale. Theodore Roose
velt, who would, indeed, rather be known
as a man of letters than as a man of wealth,
has written several books, nnd is a welcome
contributor to the periodicals. Erastus
Wimati, wno, as an active business man and
a capitalist, tias a hu dred irons in tbe fire
all the time, nevertheless contributes fre
quently to the reviews aud pockets his #25
or #SO an article with as much glee as he
does his share of the profits of the Dull
mercantile agency. Indeed, all the million
aires who write books, and the foregoing is
only partial list, are not content merely to
write for pleasure,but they enjoy thee nolu
ments of their litoi ary work the same a any
poor penuy-a-liner.

WHY HE DESERTED.
The Thrilling Romance of a Confed
erate Soldier.
.Y. Y. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
There was buried at Greenwood to-day a
man with a curious history. He had been a
confederate soldier, as brave as any of his
comrades, but ho deserted liis army during
the war, and was tried by court-martial for
doing so. Edward Cooper was his name.
For the past year he has been living at No.
355 Fourth avenue.
One bleak December morning in 1863 he
was before a court-martial of the Army of
Northern Virginia. The prisoner was told
to introduce his witnesses. He replied, “I
have no witnesses.” Astonished at the
calmness with which he seamed to be sub
mitting to his inevitable fate, Gen. Battle
said to him: “Have you no defense? Is it
possible that you have abandoned your com
rades aud deserted your colors in the pres
ence of the enemy without reason ?”
“There was a reason,” replied Cooper,
“but it will not avail me before a military
tribunal.”
“Perhaps you are mistaken,” said the
general; “you are charged with the highest
crime known to military law, and it is your
duty to make known the cause that influ
enced your actions.”
Approaching the president of the court,
Cooper presented a letter, saying as he did
so: “There.general, is what did it!"
The letter was offered as the prisoner’s
defense. It was iu these words:
Dear Edward— Since your connection with
the confederate army I have been prouder of
you than ever before. I would not have you do
anything wrong for the world, but before God,
Edward, unless you come home we must die!
Last night I was aroused by little Eddie crying.
1 called to him aud said: “What is the matter,
Eddie?" He replied: “O, mamma, lain so
hungry.” And Lucy, your darli g Lucy. Bhe
never complains. Buts e grows thinner and
thinner every day. Before God, Edward, un
less you come home we must die.
Your Mary.
Turning to the prisoner, Gen. Baft e
asked: “iVhat did you do when you re
ceived that letter?”
Cooper replied: “I made application for a
furlough. It was rejected. Again I made
application and it was rejected. That
night as I wandered about our camp think
ing of my home, the wild eyes of Lucy
looking up to me and the burning words of
Mary sinking in my brain, I was no longer
the confederate soldier, but I was the father
of Lucy and the husband of Mary.
“If every gun in the battery had bein
fired upon me I would have passed those
lilies. When I reached home Mary flung
her arms around my neck and sobbed: *O,
my Edward! lam si glad you got your
furlough.’ She must have felt me shudder,
for she turned as pale as death, aud catch
ing her breath at every word, she said:
‘Have you come without your furlough?
Go back! Ed ward, go back! Let me aud
the children go down to the grave, but, for
heaven’s s ike. save the honor of our name!”
There was not an officer ou that court
martial who did not feel the force of tbe
prisoner’s words, but each in turn pro
nounced tbe verdict guilty. The proceed
ings of the court were reviewed by Gen.
Lee, and upon the record was written:
Headquarters A. N. V.—The finding of the
court approved. The prisoner is pardoned and
w ill report to his company.
R. E. Lee, General.
The Brave von Toodles.—“Henry!”
cried Mrs. von Toodles, grasping her
somnolent husband by the arm;
“Henry! there are burglars
in "the house Get right up.
and go down!” “Utter nonsense, my
dear,” returned Henry. “You wouldn’t
have a man cf my social position associat
ing witn burglars, would you? You ai
touilh me!’ - thick.

Is Over for This Year.
\\ e now commence the task
ot getting rid of our surplus
Stock, minus protit.
1 liree weeks ago we opened
our eyes to the tact that we
had too many Parasols on
hand, and decided that they
must be reduced in price in
order to close them out. We
had 2,700 Parasols on hand
when we came to this decis
ion. To-day we have less
than 200 ou hand. Now to
close these out promptly we
will offer them at a still further
reduction. At the present
prices the entire Stock should
be closed out by Wednesday
or Thursday the outside.

The great Clearance Sale
of Remnants has been such
an emphatic success that
we've been tempted this week
