A local expressman informed 'Mayor Berry to-day that he hauled a numljfr of machines previous to and since the new administration from several Chester stores to Darby, where he transferred them to another expressman, who took them to Philadelphia. Whether these machines were the ones taken from the City Hall is a question as yet unanswered.

The mayor says he is determined to find out where the machines arc, as they are the property of the city. Death of George A. Adams. George A Adams of No. 415 East Fifth street died yesterday morning at his home after suffering a short time with erysipelas.

VUty TboBsand Dollnra Oft Paid For Far 0tflt. I find that S6.000 for a sable coat Is Ofly a fair price.

In fact, It is a mrr low nrlce for a erat of fine sable. As witness this talk tAat I had the oth er day -with New York's leading "Can you show me a good sable coat?" I inquired. "Russian sable?" he asked. "Yes," said 1, "something especially fine, say about He smiled. "We haven't anything made up that I would call especially fine.

We have a rather short coat of rather light skins, moderate quality. that will cost $10,000." "Ten thousand dollars!" I exclaimed. "Then what would a good coat He continued to smile and produced a number of fine skins- the real im nerial sable Tery dark, with silver lights playing through the soft fur. And he showed me the price marks, $550 a skin, about $10 a square Inch. "This is the beat Siberian sable," he went on.

"A coat of moderate length, say thirty inches, requires sixty skins, and" "Sixty times 550." I murmured. "Tliirty-three thousand dollars, which includes the cost of making." "And a longer coat?" I gasped. "One reaching to a lady's ankles would require, say, eighty skins; that is $44,000," he replied rather matter of fact. "And you sell coats at such prices?" I continued in amazement. "We sell this kind of sable as fast as we can get it.

The best skins are very scarce." "And a muff," I asked meekly, "just a muff?" "Five skins," said he, "$2,750. There's one in the shaw case." "And a boa; a little boa?" "Four skins at least; that is $2,200." Here then evidently I erred not on the side of exaggeration, but of uncer-statement. I put down $30,000 as the maximum yearly sum that a few New York women spend on dress, including everything, whereas nearly $50,000 may be spent simply for a fur coat with boa and muff!

"Not many men know how to buy a watch," said a jeweler, "and to a large extent they have to rely on the honesty of the So complicated Is the business that even we go to the factories ourselves and arrange for special work In order to get the proper article, for, of course, we could not assay every case we receive. "Now, how many people know the difference between a filled case and one that Is plated? A filled case, you see. is a composition that resembles steel, with a plate of gold on each side, that on the outer being thicker than the inside. Such cases are guaranteed not to wear through within five, ten, fifteen or up to twenty-five years, the limit of the guarantee made by the reputable houses. If a man offers you a case warranted for thirty or forty years you are going to be bunkoed if you buy It.

When you see watches offered for sale as gold filled for $3 or $4 depend upon it they are plated, and mighty thinly too. "In the matter of watch movements," he continued, "the buyer is really at the mercy of the dealer. In one big factory about 3,000 movements are made every day. There is certain to be haste in that sort of output, and the name on the dial does not make up for imperfections. To avoid These a first class jeweler arranges for several hun dred movements to be delivered a year hence.

"A strictly first class movement re quires six months exactly in its pas sage through the factory from the beginning to the finislHi product ready to offer for sale. 'Sif-h goods are then stamped with the name of the firm for which they are made and that firm has to stand sponsor for them. The SwiS3 watch, in its higher class, is the best movement In the world today. Of course there are cheap Swiss move ments that you can buy for $3 or $4, but they keep good time." Kansas City Star.

Tne Wonder, ihe Brain Sees In the Fraction of Second. It 19 not unusual to bear one say that he has been dreaming about something all night, when possibly his dream occupied only a very short time.

Many attempts have been made to measure the time occupied in a dream, and records appear from time to time in the papers showing that often elaborate ones occupy but a few seconds. The following incident is told by a gentleman who vouches for its accuracy: He was engaged one afternoon with a clerk in verifying some long columns of figures that had been copied, from one book to another. The numbers, representing amounts In dollars and cents, were composed of six or seven figures. The clerk would read, for instance, "Fourteen, one forty-two, twelve, making the amount of and the gentleman would answer, "Check," to Indicate that the copy was correct. Page after page bad been read as rapidly as the words could be uttered, each number receiving the "check." The work was drowsy, and it was with difficulty he keep his eyes open.

Finally sleep overcame him. and he dreamed dreamed of nn o'd horse he had been accustomed to twenty-five or thirty years He could not recall any special incident connected with the dream except tlio locality nml the distinct sight of the harse and of the buggy to which he bad driven him.
