FREAKS OF CLOCKS.
THE STRANGE WARNING CHIMEO
FROM STRASSBURG CATHEDRAL
PeenlUrltfea of the Tleaeplee* U the
British Homo of tarda—The Mad-
aiesa of Mechlin's Clock -"When
•Clocks Go Craay, Things Go Daft.**
There is an'old saw which declares
that “when clocks go crazy, things go
daft”
At 2 a. m. on Sept. 27, 18C9, the
world famous clock in the great cathe
dral at Strassburg commenced to chime
without rhyme or reason. It sounded
3370 peals, then stopped, and after an
interval slowly began to toll as if for
a great one dead.
The political atmosphere of Europe
At that, time was indicative of pro
found peace. Nothing of danger or dis
grace could by any possibility be con
ceived of as threatening Strassburg or
Its Inhabitants. Yet less than a year
afterward the German armies had en
circled the city with a ring of steel and
fire. The German shells were falling
thickly in her streets and squares and
exploding even within the precincts
of the stately cathedral Itself. And
precisely at 2 a. m. Sept 27,1870, Gen
eral Uhrlch signed the capitulation
which was to deliver Strassburg into
the hands of the invaders.
In the house of lords Is a certain his
torical timepiece which is said to in
variably suffer from temporary aber
ration whenever a member of the royal
family of Britain passes away. The
peculiarity was first noticed when Wil
liam IV. died. Very early in the morn
ing the clock began to emit a scries of
peculiar gurgling noises, ns though
gasping for breath, went suddenly
alow nnd finally stopped altogether.
All efforts to start it failed, and on the
evening of the day of the funeral it
restarted of its own accord, nor did it
give any further trouble whatever for
many years afterward.
It Las over and over again been no
ticed that clocks, especially those sit
uated In'ihc turrets of high buildings
having unusually deep foundations, are
liable to go wrong In sympathy with
celsmlc disturbances happening in dis
tricts sometimes very far away.
On Nov. 1, 175&£ jr Instance, fully
half the “tlmepleceffn Edinburgh were
affected. Many stopped altogether.
Others went slow or fast or started
striking wrongly. In this the supersti
tious saw some calamity Impending,
and It was not until news arrived of
the great Lisbon earthquake that the
alarm was allayed. It was then discov
ered, by comparing times and dates,
that the first shock must have traveled
from Fez la Morocco to Cape Wrath
In less than eight seconds.
A curious coincident was then recall
ed. On the evening of April 7, exactly
live years previously, several thou
sands of persons, particularly those of
rtfnk and fortune, had camped but in
Hyde park nnd hnd thus passed the
hours from dusk till daylight
This was to avoid an earthquake
shock which bad been predicted for
the early morning of the 8th by an al
leged "madman.” The threatened
quake, however, failed to materialize,
and the scared ones got heartily laugh
ed nt for their pains. Nevertheless, It
was noted at the time that several of
the public and private clocks of the
metropolis stopped at precisely the
same moment on the morning In ques
tion, and this fact at once took on s
new and sinister significance.
£‘Wns it possible,” people began to
ssk, "that the so called 'madman' was
not so very 'mad' after all and that
London had providentially escaped
what might possibly have been a hid
eous ond unparalleled catastrophe?”
The so called "madness” of Mech
lin's clock constitutes one of the most
mysterious Incidents of the Napoleonic
. war*. It happened In 1800. Two
years previously the Corsican usurper
had razed a portion of the city to the
ground, nnd the place mid also suffered
severely In other ways. But the mag
nificent cathedral had been spared, and
then, as now. Its massive tower rising
four square to a height of more than
SCO feet nnd bearing four dials, each
forty-eigbt feet In diameter, was one
of the most striking landmarks for
miles nnd miles around.
Inside the tower was the glgautic
clock, the biggest In the world. It had
boomed the hours for longer than the
oldest burgher could remember and
had never gone wrong. When, there
fore, In the early dawn of one summer
day the great bell began clanging furi
ously small wonder that not only the
city, but the whole countryside, was
roused. Mechlin itse|f was like a dis
turbed hive, men rushing from their
houses half dressed, but all armed,
while from every ‘town and village
within a radius of twenty miles angry
peasants poured cityward.
It was a false o la rot, however, afte.
all. No assault followed. No column
of dust on the horizon heralded the ad
vance of the enemy, although anxious
eyes watched all day. But when to- j
ward evening one more curious than
Ills fellows bethought him to examine i
the interior of the clock tower In order i
to discover if possible the reason for j
the clock’s strange behavior a grew- *;
some sight met his view.
Entangled in the mnsslvp works of
the huge timepiece, torn, gashed, every ,
tone broken, was the hotly of a French
officer. He had evidently combed into
tbe tower unobserved and had been !
caught by tbe machinery while cn- .
*aged In tampering with It. What bis j
object wa* In so doing none ever knew. >
That it was jomethiug sinister theft •
com a be no doubt rrobamy ne unu
.intended to so arrange tbe interior
mechanism of tbe clock at to cause It
to sound a signal later Jn tbe day. At
mil events, whatever bis plan. It mis
carried. And be himself fell a victim
to his own temerity and want of know!-
CONDENSED S* OKIES.
San Francisco is still repeating
and laugfiisf over the bonmots
Bishop Potter let drop on the oc
casion of liis visit to that city two
/ears ago to attend the Episcopal
cow edition.
At that time tha dtixens were
very much astir because tha famous
eastern bishop was to be a visitor
within their gates, and tha/ vied
with one another to honor their
£ est. The bishop was kept busy
dining the invitations that he had
not time to ascept. But one invita
tion that he did avail himself of
was to occupy the magnificent resi
dence of William Crocker, one of the
millionaire families of which Mrs.
Francis Burton Harrison and Mrs.
Alexander are eastern representa
tives.
The house is a showy one, situat
ed upon Hob hill, where the early
California millionaires built their
homes, so it is a “show place.” It
came .to hare a double interest when
It was occupied by the bishop. One
day a San Franciscan was showing
the group of residences to a friend
who was visiting in the city. As
they approached the “Will Crocker”
home he sprang the treasured joke
which he had been saving for the
right moment. “This,” said he,
with a flourish, “is Mr. Crocker’s
> Pottery.”
He did not recognize the gentle
man who was at that moment de
scending the steps. It was the bish
op, who could not lelp overhearing
and who hnd a twinkle in his eye.
“I beg pinion for correcting yen,”
he said, ‘*ut you are mistaken. This
is Bishop Potter’s Crockery.”—

Tim. to Learn,
One of tho latest stories of the
strange reasoning of negroes comes
from J. H. Stoddart, the veteran
actor, and is of an incident he wit
nessed in Louisiana on a tour
through that part of the country.
“I had an afternoon lay off in
this Louisiana town,” said the ac
tor, “and with nothing to do roam
ed about the place. Ifaially I got
to tho courthouse and went in. A
negro .trial waa on, and a typical old
darky was one of the witnesses. Ha
was fixing the time of tho occurs
Fence of the trouble and eaid it was
half pnst 3 in the afternoon.
“ ‘How do you know it waa half
past 8?’ demanded the lawyer for
the other side.
“‘Why, I—I knowed it wss half
put 3 by my watch. I knowed it,'
■tammerod the darky.
‘“Can you tell time?’ demanded
tha lawyer.
“ ‘Sure, I can tell time,’ answered
the witness.
“ ‘What time is it now ?’ demand
ed the lawyer, pointing to the clock.
“The darky studied the clock for
a minute; then he said he did not
know what time it was.
‘“But I thought you could tell
time,’ ssid the lawyer, with anger.
‘“Well, I can tell time, boss, by
my watch,’ said the darky, *but I
vsn’t tell no time by no clock.’ ”
On. Thing Clark Forgot.
A call for a minister was about
to be issued in Champ Clark’s home
town in Missouri, says tho Wuhing-
ton correspondent of tho New York
World. It was made, and when the
minister arrived the church commit
tee found the minister and Repre
sentative Clark were old school
mates. They went to him and uk-
cd him about the new minister. ‘
“He’s a good man,” said Mr.
Clark. “He will infuso new life
into the church' and is one of the
most sociable fellows I ever met.
He is eloquent, tells a good story
of the right kind nnd will be quite
an addition to our town.”
The eominittec started to leave,
feeling very good over having made
such an excellent selection, when
Clark called them back, saying:
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that Dr.
