DUE TO SPECULATION.
The Recent Boom Was Necessarily Followed

The Recent Boom Was Necessarily Followed
by n Strong Reaction.
ESPECIAL rxLBoRAN TO THE DrsPArcH.'
PHILADELPHIA, May l6.-Looking back upon
the boom which the iron market experienced
late in 1889 and early in the present year. it ap-
pears that it was largely due to speculation.
The purchases by spectators were not confined
to pig metal, but included mill products as we'll
The liquidation of speculative holdings is caus-
ing reaction from the unnatural advance. The
buying now is for legitimate purposes, and,
while prices are low, it is still encouraging to
hnd the mills busy. Some furnace men talk OF
shutting down toward the end of this month or
in June, and it is quite probable that the end OF
the second quarter Of the year will find re-
stricted output of pig iron. Statistics show the
total number of furnaces in blast to be 34l, the
same as reported on April l, with slight In
crease In capacity.
There are a number of inquiries for steel
rails floating about, coming from the far West.
indicating that the Western mills are busy and
adhertng closely to established prices. While
there is no marked improvement in the situa-
ton the general market is no weaker. fair

Death of w. w. Bishop.

The Hon. w. w. Bishop died at
his residence. lI8 Brokerlck street, at
10 O'Clock yesterday morning, after
long aud painful illness caused by
chronic pleurisy. He was born In
Erie county, Pa, January 22, 1885,
and was a well-known lawyer, orator
and politician. He was a man OF
great force of character. he was
prominently known in many mining
suits, such as the Raymond d Ely
Meadow Valley mining suit of Pi-
oche, New, and the famous Rich
mond- Albion suit of Eureka. he
began his political life as an old line
Wing, but became a Republican
leader in 1861, and maintained his
relations with that party up to the
death. For many years Mr.. Bishop
had been victim TO eye troubles.
At the breaking out OF the civil war
he offered himself for service in the
field, but was refused on that ac-
count. He was determined to make
compensation in material manner,
and by mis- eloquence and patriotic
appeals TO the young men around
him he raised two regiments in ILL
nois and Missouri, and received the
formal thanks of Governor Richard
Yates for his perseverance and sue
cess. He was personal friend and
associate OF Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas.
As lawyer he was active in prose-
cutting the big mining suits which
clogged the Courts of this State and
Nevada years ago. He also had an
extensive knowledge of criminal law.
At one time he was associated in the
practice OF law with the late Judge
George n. Sabin.
Mr.. Bishop was prominent in Ma
sonic orders, being Mason OF high
degree. DIR. ). Bishop, Superintend-
ent of tie Nevada Insane Asylum, is
his brother, and he had many other
relatives in this State and in Nevada.
S. i. Chronicle, August 9th.
MIR. Bishop was well and favorably
known in White Pine, where he had
many warm friends, who will sin
cereIy regret 10 hear OF his death.

Is il not enough that an honest man
should be taken from his business

The Grass Valley Telegraph pays
the following tribute to the memory
of a man we'll known in many of the
towns in Nevada:
"Harry M. Johnson, the worlds
greatest foot-racer, died in San Fran
ciico at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He had been sick here for time with
typhoid fever and had sufficiently re-
covered to go to San Francisco to train
for the worlds championship race
which takes place in st. Louis in
October. Johnson was taken with
Inflammation of the bowels and died
yesterday. His character as a man
was vastly different from the most of
those of his profession. He was well
educated, temperate, kind and gener-
Gus and always good natured. Nature
endowed him with that SPLENDID
physical form, and the mind seemed
to be part of the body-beDt on
using the forces that nature gave him,
but never in cruel or unmanly way.
There are many here who would throw
a flower on poor Johnson's grave"

Coffee as stimulant.

1t is asserted by men of high pro-
fesslonal ability that when the system
needs a stimulant, nothing equals a
oup of fresh coffee. Those who desire
to rescue the dipsomaniac from his
cups will find no better substitute for
spirits than strong, newlymade coffee,
without milk or sugar. Two ounces
ofcoifee, or one eight of pond, to one
pint of boiling water, make first-
class beverage, bnt the water must be
boiling, not merely hot. 1t is assert
ed that malaria and epidemics are
avoided by those who drink a oup OF
hot coffee before venruring into the
