THE Tacoma papers should come to
some mutual understanding before
one or the other indulge in IN extra
ordinary statement that is intended to
surprise everybody outside OF that
city. The Ledger, as is well known.
dcvotes all of its space TO booming the
town, and is not averse to stretching
the truth just II little bit if anything is
to be gained thereby, The News,
while loyal to the city in which it is
published, is more conservative, and
is fair enough to admit that there are
other towns in the northwest besides
Tacoma. In late issue the Ledger
devoted column and II half upon the
subject Of brick, declaring that that
indispensable article Of building ma.
terial in any growing place command
ed $40 per thousand. This was to
give the impression that the demand
for brick was SO great in Tacoma that
orders could not be filed, hence the
extraordinary price. This would have
turned all neighboring towns green
with envy, while ut u great distance,
people would have wondered vt the
prodigality Of builders in the pet
Northern Pacific town in paying such
prices for material. The effect OF
the article was neutralzed by the
News of the same day publishing II
statement of brckmaker to the effect
that brick had never been as high as
$40 per thousand, that brick cou'd be
had for 50 per thousand in small
quantities, and that the figures on
large orders were very much less.
From this it is to be inferred that it
does not cost any more to build houses
Mt Tacoma than elsewhere, and fur
thermore that the improvements de-
signed for the year will not exhaust
the capacity OF the clay banks in the
vicinity,

rooms OF her mansion on Arch street,
to women olny. Soon public request,
signed by the leading ladies of Pbila-
delphia, WAS drawn up requesting
her to lecture in one OF the prom

lectures we're so favorably received
that the gentlemen became Interested
and she finally delivered series ol
lectures to both men and women. AT
the first of these the mayor OF the city
and several of the prominent physi-
clans presided
Her fame spread and she visited all
the large cities throughout the north
and as far west as San Francisco,
where she appeared in the spring OF
1888. She then sailed for New Iea-
land and spent two years in that
country and Australia, when she
sailed for London. Her lectures in

largest and most aristocratic auditor
ium in the English metropolis. where
she was introduced 10y the Hon.
james Russell Lowell, United States
minister, and Gen. T.. A. Merritt, then
United States Consul General. Dur
ing her TIN ee years stay in England
she gained great renown, being invited
to lecture in DR.. Parker's church--thc
City Temple--and lecturing under the
auspices of the medical society and
for the benefit Of the Woman's Hospi-
tai in Soho Square. Last October she
returned to America, making her first
appearance at fremont Temple i'll
Boston. She then lectured at Chick
ering hall, New York City, since which
time she has appeared in Utica, Syr,-
Gus, Detroit, Michigan, st Paul and
Minneapolis. Few women have gained
to great distinction as she has or ac-
cumplished so much good. The press
all over the world is unanimous III her
praise. Size is now on her way to Cal
ifornia, where she has II most bcauti
full home. Geo. T.. Harrison, who is
connected with the New York press
and now in Spokane Falls gathering
material for series Of articles on the
resources of the Northwest, has per-

FROM rumors current on the streets
We are inclined to believe that ut an
early day our citizens will have the
pleasure of seeing ground broken for
line oi road running from this place
westward. 1t is hinted that Il survey
ing party has been ordered to start
out Mt once IN the wake oi u prelimi-
nary surveying party that has been at
work for some time and locate this
new road. From the little that could
be learned this proposed road takes in
the water front, passing along Front
street. down along the edge OF the
bluff on the south side OF the river,
crossing Hangman creek near the ice
houses and following the river, grad
ual)y working pto the table lands to
the west. The route is said To be a
practicable one and not difficult of
construction. II is believed that the
proposed road is the eastern end Of the
Seattle, Lake Shore d Eastern, and by
crowding the work at both ends a
junction can be formed in few
months. IL is hoped that the rumor
has some color Of truth and that in
u short time construction force will
bc engaged grading the road bed.

Men VINO made the Mines

Correspondence Butte inter Mountain
In a recent talk with u prominent
Wardner man who has for sometime
been purchasing ,es from the mines
and shipping them " other points,
he paid glowing tribute to two South
Fork miners, James +. Wardner and
s. $. Gidden. He said they are the
two best men that ever came to the
camp. To Mr.. Wardncr is due the
credit, to n great extent, of opening up
the mines. lie brought the celebrated
Bunker Hill ami Sullivan into prom
of the impetus to mine
development. He has since
made better arrangements with the
smelters than were ever made before
and the consequence is that to-day
the price of ore is proportionately
higher in the South Fork than ever
before, and this, too, taking into con-
sideration the price of lead. The out
put Of the South Fork is to-day about
1900 tons per month and is sure to
reach 4 800 by the first OF September
ut the aitGest, and most likely by
August. The camp is certainly fine
lead producer and is capable OF a most
an infinite production. The first
named has thus accomplished great
good for the camp and is becoming
highly appreciated. Mr. Glidden Is in
exact contrast with Mr.. Wardner, said
the gentle men, as he labors exclusively
for himself and keeps what he gets.
But he has established beyond perad-
venture that the only way to make
mining success is in doing thorough
work. No property on the South
Fork shows such perfect knowledge Of
mining and concentrating as does the
Tiger The mine has more Stopping
ground and can produce more ore
than any other property, while the
concentrator accomplishes almost II
fourth more than any other concen-
TRAITOR of similar capacity. The diiier-
ence between the two men is better
illustrated by stating that the former
had 500 when he reached the mines
while the latter came with fortune
in reserve. One established what Il
man can do With money, the other
what may be accomplished without
money by exerting necessary amount
of energy and ability. In converse.
tion with Mr.. Wardncr, he showed
your correspondent u letter from BOn-
ner's Ferry stating that the river and
lake were now open and that the large
parties which had been waiting so
long and anxiously for the same had
left that place for the mines, all very
eager to get ut their new distination.
Mr.. Wardner also informs us that he,
in connection with James Monaghan
and G. Is. King, have established new
transportation line from Spokane TO
the Kootenai mines. The line will he
in operation ut II very early date and
will connect with the Northern
Pacific at Kootenai station. From
there it will carry passen-
gers by hack to Bonner's Ferry
about Thirty miles. Two boats viii he
placed on the river to run from the
ferry to the landing ut the foot Of the
mines. From all indication this see
ton promises to get more than IT'S
share OF attention the coming summer.
Several of the best miners will leave
for that section in few days.

Coffee makers should distinctly bear
in mind the difference between the two
methods Of making coffee and grind
their coffee accordingly. or order it
from their grocer, either ground
coarse" or pulverized. They should
not depend upon the grocery clerk to
remember their usual method, but
should order it distinctly every time.
Many conscientious dealers have been
blamed for furnishing unsatisfactory
coffee when the real fault lay in the
failure Of the purchaser to understand
the above difference.
But it would be better for the coffee
TO be freshly ground as wanted and this
can be easily done as family coffee mills
are now made which pulvorize the cof-
fee perfectly aud easily.

WALL STREET DECORATION.
All the conservative old banks Of
Wall street have built themselves new
homes within the past five years with
only two exceptions. One of these is
the Bank Of America, ut the corner of
William street, whose antique struc-
ture OF granite, one story high, was
erected ffty-six years ago. Oliver
Wolcott. Of Connecticut, was the first
president Of this historic institution
and he resigned in order to take office
as governor of that state. a towering
nine-story structure of granite, rs feet
by 80, will take the place of the old
hank building, and will well illustrate
the successful career Of this organiza-
tion, which has weathered seventy
six winters. The decoration fever has
spread into the interior of our Wall
street banks, in strange contrast with
past conservative ideas, but it has
broken out most conspicuously in our
uptown hotels. The st. James Is fol-
lowing the example Of the Hoffman
house, and replacing its woodwork
with tiling Of Italian and Tennessee
marble. The Oriental is decorating its
walls and ceilings IN new high relief
OF paper pulp, which can be repainted,
aud beautiful marble staircase is
already laid. OF course, the traveller,

has to pay for these fixings; but what is
the odds so long as he has money and
the public admire.
Our own Chauncy-Depew is his busi-
mess name-is to have an ovation on
his return to this city, and his admirers
will do the business in bang-up style.
Perhaps receptions are the consolation
stakes for defeated candidates for the
presidency this year, but at any rate
they seem to be enjoyable TO the VIC
tins.

American Schools.

American Magazine: / wish | could
say Few words Of undilutcd praise for
American schools from sanitary point
oil view; but many years experience on
school boards compcls me TO believe and
say that there are few better, more cf-
fcctive and rapid means of iniuring Il
childs system, physical and mental,
than steady adherence TO our hours Of
school within doors, and of lessons with
out. Every successive generation finds
less and less practical knowledge among
our young people, with u steadily de-
creasing rate of increase of species,
until II Is but question OF few years
when there will be no more full-blood
American women to keep up the race.
Brains and central nerves are overtaxed
Systematically, and the few moments
per diem allowed for relaxation are en-
ployed in reading novels or otherwise
weakening physical powers that are
already below par.
Few school rooms are constructed or
furnished with regard to the health of
the little ones who spend so many of
their best hours therein, and attempts
TO better such condition fail because
there is no money to be made out of the
contract.
What, then, are we to do /? Take the
chances, presume, ana send our chill
drcn to do the best they can, whore our
neighbors send theirs. There seems
absolutely no remedy short of educat-
ing the public, slow and tedious task.
Meanwhile, see to it that children do
not study out of school. Any lesson
that needs to be learned at home is
worse than useless; it is positively hurt
full. Keep them out OF doors in all
weathers as much as possible and see
that their food is plain and nutritious.
