The Riches of Bolivia

Bolivia IS douhtles. the richest in minerals of any land on the glsbe, and millots upon millions of precious metal have been taken out of her mines by the primitive process which still exists, and must s1ist till rail roads are constructed to carry machI- nsry there.

Bears and the Copper Market.

A Paris cablegram to the N. Y. Times says: It is stated that the bear sales made in copper on very large scale in London during June and July gre now about to reach their climax. Out of 10000 tons sold, the expected shipments from Chili will only give to the market 2500 tons according to one version, and 6250 tens as reported by another. This will be about all that the sellers can dispose ef, making difference sf 4337 tens at least fer which the interested may obtain quit tancs from delivery with considerable loss to themselves This explains the price of f95 ill the London quotations, the bears being now obliged to buy at fantastic prlcss. The fact IS, that all the outside stuff and the old metal has been absorbed, and consumers find themselves facs 10 facs with the So- ciste des Metaux, which now corners ths bears completely, and demands fine of f20 te cancel contracts made at about f78 Soc. My own impression is that ths riso is purely speculative. and made necessary by the plan of the syndicate ts tire cut and strangls the bears. who will have sooner or later to liquidate their operations.
 From reliable source l learn also that, to certain degree, the syndicate regrets the necessity of driving up prices to f95, but il was weary of sear maneuvsrlng, and, worried sy the at taeks m tha English press, A. Score tan felt obliged to give them lesson, and this could only be done by raising prices. On the ether hand, 1t would appear that A. Secrstan wishes to raise the price of copper from toO ts fS5 oa condition that the coppsr goes stralght 10 the works and IS fer cen sumption. His efforts iu this direc- tion have bsea defeated from time to time by baar operators in Chili bars, and he now aims to do away with this obstacle, as it IS on no account te his i interest to discourage consumers who are now beginning to buy freely. 1 Moreover, but without positive asssr- tion, have been able to gather from varied and certain sources that the syndicate is aLont to renew it's con tract fer six years with the Spanish producers Nothing has yet been said as regards the Americans They have doubtless tsea sounded on the subject and thsir iulusnss probably will bC l favorable t, the vlews of the syndicatc as to tbe general equalization of tht copper market prices fer several years to come.

4 most astounding revelation has come to those who havs been conh- deally trusting 10 appliances fer puli- fying their drinking water, says the Globe Democrat: It seems thlt the ordinary filter, instead of rendering the water pure snd safe, is actually the means of producing just the op- posits result. The Rhode Island Ned icsl Soclsty through Dr. swarts, shews that some filters wllen first used do remove proportion of dis ease germs. But alter being ID use only few days there is marked in crease ia the number of colonies of gsrmsin the water filtered, as compared with the unfiltered water. In one in- stance he unfiltered water showed the presence of thirtysix colonies, whils the filtered cchtained the enor- nous number of 2000, 5000, 5000, and even mere. That is, the poison caught up by the filter the first few days be- comes the source sf vast mpltiph- catlen of the dangerous clement So look to your precautions, and then be on your guard. If you eau not con stsntly cleanse your filters yeu had better destroy them.

Henry Flad the distinguished civil engineer of St. Leuis says: The time will come when electricity will be es- seutial to ordinary housekeeping as bread and mllk now are, and will be delivered to private dwellings sSme- thing after the style that bread and milk are now delivered. A wagon will drive up to the back deer and leave box of electricity, sufficient to last at least twenty feur hours. The housewife will take the box and at taeh it to the electrical apparatus in her house, and run her sewing machine with it during the day aud light her dwelling with it at night. The next morning the wsgsn will call and the old box will be taken away and new one substituted, and thus it will go on from day to day This can be done with much more casa than a storage battery of an or dinary electric moter can be filled and of very much less expense, h fact, if such.a system were in gene raj operation the cost would be al most nominal

Heavy ne,t.ins on the Election.
From the N. Y. World.I


 Betting on the result of ths Prssi- dential slsetlon is getting little more active. For time very few bets were made, for tke reason that the Republicans wsrs not wiling to back their judgment with anything more substantial than wind. Among the men whe make it business 10 Let on elections and borse-racss there has been disposition to wait until after bsth the Republican and Democratic State tickets are in tho fsld before putting up ther money. During the last week, however. a number of Re publicans, en the strength of the re- turns from Vermont, have been en- couragsd to wager little cash on Harrison The announcement Is made that II. II. Warner, the liysr-eure man of Rochester, had S25,000 which be was anxious to bet on Mr Harrison, even. Saturday Pelics Commissioner Steve French bet Sl,000, even, that Harrissn would win. Mir French has $3, 500 staked ep Mr. Harrison's cleo tion, in different sums. One bet of $500 to $500, that ths Republicans would carry this State, he made last June before any sne had been neni- mated Mr. Frsnch regards his bets as perfectly safe. He says: "Iff were a rich man would bet great deal mere, fer think ws hays got a gsed thing this year. It's just like finding money to bet on Harrison.
 A prominent natter uptown was re- ported yesterday as anxious to put up $i0,000 sn Harrison
 The mem bers of the Republican Ma tionrI Com niittes have mads mum. Der of bets. They ds aot care to have their bets made public, however, fel tina sake of appearances. Chairman Quay has penchaat far betting or elections, and,this year he is said tt have gone in quits heavily. If Harri sen Is elected he will probably be al least Sl0,000 ahead, and besides hay, a sufficient supply of clothes and hat to last him until ths next Presidential election.
 Gen. Gesdlos, of Kentucky, has sx pressed his confidence in Gen. Harri sons election to tho extent of seyera thousand dollars Last week he ne a man who was anxious to put ul S1,000 against $500 that Cleyelln, would carry Indiana. Gsn.

VERDICT IN ANoTeD MURDER CASE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 15-The
trial of John A. DINING, charged with the
murder of Henry Benhayon in October
last, closed today, and the jury announced
they were unable to agree, the vote stand
ing seven tor acquittal and five for convic-
ton.
Benhayon was brother-in-law of Dr.
Milton Bowers, who was convicted two
years ago of poisoning his wife and sen
fenced to be hanged. His case was ap,
pealed to the supreme court, where it is
now pending. Benhayon's body was
found in a room in lodging
house several months ago, and on a
table in the same room were found several
letters apparently in the deceased hand
writing, which purported to be confession
that he had administered poison to his sis
ter, DR.. Bowers wife, and thus caused her
death. The letters also exonerated DR.
Bowers from all connection with the
crime, and the writer claimed he was led
to commit suicide by remorse. The find
ing of Benhaypn's body and the letters
created a great sensation, particularly as q
number of suspicious circumstances led to
the belief that Benhayon had not written
the letters, and that he had been murdered
by agents of DR.. Bowers.
Frank A. DINING, a young man EN-
ployed as book agent, who was known to
have been intimate with Benhayon, was
arrested, and at the inquest which follow
ed a mass of testimony was produced
which did not tend altogether to clear up
the mystery. DINING was held, however,
on q charge Of murder, and his trial
which commenced before the superior
court several weeks ago, concluded today
with the disagreement of the jury.

appeared to think that l was heartless and
had compelled her to leave the house on a
cold day with our child in her arms. Her
statements were not true. She was I'M
fortunate through drink and was making
charges against me that were absolutely
false. The case came before Judge Fin

suit for support. My lawyer then advised
me to enter suit for an absolute divorce.
He said that was my only step to protect
myself. | had been forced through I'M

such an extent that she would neglect
her children. There were nearly forty

in my behalf, and was given the custody
of all our children and granted a divorce,
