COPPER AND ZINC PRODUCTION IN
f88S.

| From Bradstreet-s
| The total copper production of the
United States in 1888, as estimated by
c. Kirchoff, Jr., agent of the United
States geological survey, was $50, 403, 5S1
pounds, of which 225, 495, 425 pounds
were domestic copper and 4,909, 1856
pounds were made from imported ores
and pyrites. The 1888 production ex-
| ceeded that of 1887, the largest previous
record, by nearly $4,000, 900 pounds. In
only two states, California and Colorado,
and Utah territory was the 1888 produc-
ton less than that of 1887. The highest
increase shown was in the production Of
copper in Montana by over 100000
pounds. This state produced $685.
96S pounds, or over 43 per cent
of the total domestic production.
The Lake Superior mines produced
SO, 104 1893 pounds, against 75,471, $50
pounds in 1887, and the Ari
iona mines produced 81, 10000 pounds,
against 1920, 462 pounds in 1887. The
high price of copper in 1888 tended to re-
duce consumption. but not to the extent
expected. The falling off amounted to
over Z 1-2 per cent. while in the proceed
ing year the increase amounted to IA per
cent. Thus 1888 is notable chiefly as
marking the first important check to the
late years rapidly increasing consump-
ton of copper. A continuance of the
present heavy production, and in fact
considerable increase on last years fig
ures, is anticipated as the result of pres
ent high prices, unless further restriction
of production is undertaken by the
French syndicate. The total production
of SpeIter in the United States in 1868
was 1913 tons of 1000 pounds, against
90, $40 tons in 1897. and was larger than
any year on record since 1882. A fur
Their increase of production is considered
during the present year as the result of
the erection of new works and the en-
largement Of old concerns.

The senate charitably decided to ex-
punge from the record the disgraceful
spectacle Mr.. Riddleberger made of him
self on the floor of that chamber few
hours before the final adjournment of
the Fiftieth congress, and thus not only
saving that body the humiliation of
such an incident becoming part of its
history, but also sparing the offender the
disgrace upon him that would have been
perpe tuated in such record. But the in
corrigible boor objects to its expurgation

Poor deluded mortal; he is entitled to

SUMMERS SECRET.

Washington Post.
When Vice President-eIect Morton
looks at the immense apartment house
which is now almost completed at the
corner of II and Fifteenth streets, and
which is owned by himself he no doubt
thinks of his early friend. Mr.. Samuel
Hooper, and the many good dinners he
enjoyed with thai gentleman when he
resided in the house which Mr.. Morton
has torn down to make room for his
apartment house. Mr. Hooper, for a
great many years, represented one of
the Boston districts iii the house of rep
resentatives. He was the closest friend
that Charles Sumner ever had. 1t was
with Mr.. Hooper that Mr.. Sumner drove
the last time from the capitol. It was
the wife of Mr.. Hooper'S son that Mr.
Sumner married.
In regard to the marriage two curious
facts have come 10 the knowledge of the
writer of this article. When the pro-
cessiOn which accompanied the remains
OF the Massachusetts senator was on its
way to Mount Auburn, there was what
might be called block in the street, and
there had to be a pause. The hearse
stopped, Strange to say, Immediately III
front of a window, and in that window
was standing Mrs. Sumner. Some time
afterwards a gentleman had occasion to
go the probate court to make an exam
ination of some papers, and i'll going
through the files he found the divorce
papers of Charles Sumner and Alice
Mason Sumner, and lying on topof them
the will of Mr. Sumner. A strange CO.
incident, but not so strange. perhaps, as
the cause which separated the two, ard
which is known to but few, and never
has, and probably never will, be made
known to the public.

Another Dean Stanley Story.

Boston Advertiser.
Phillips Brooks told an interesting and
amusing anecdote of Dean Stanley to the
Trinity club Monday night. The dean
sent note to shoe maker regarding
some work which that artisan was doing
for HIM. The writing was so difficult to
decipher that the shoe maker returned it
to the dean with a note saying, limo
Gently, that he was ''unaccustnmei to
the chirography of the higher classes
and asked for translation. Just as if,
said the dean laughingly, in relating the
anecdote to the Boston divine, Il am to
be held responsible for the handwriting
of the entire British aristocracy.'
