1ne.e are not so many lie saving sta
tons as there ought to be on the great
lakes. Of the total PA of these stations
1S2 are on the Atlantic coast alone, with
only 40 Oh all the lakes. When it is re-
membered that the lake commerce
amounts to more than all that of the At
lantic coast put together, this unequal
distribution will be plain. 1t is also to
be remembered that there are more ter
rifle storms upon the lakes, and more
vessels go down there than even in the
Atlantic. The cost of the whole service
last year was less than 81, $50, 900, and
its gallant staff saved over $6, O0O, 900
worth of property and 3,542 lives.

HE WEEKLY TRIBUNE,
The Copper Market,

me copper Market.
As the production of copper is one @
the main props of the industrial struct
ure or our city, any information bearini
upon this subject is full of interest +
our readers: The Engineering ant
Mining journal has this to say regard
ing the copper market: After a lons
period OF d~ulness. as far as home trad,
was concerned, with prices continual,
declining, the market has, at last, taker
a turn upward, growing firmer day b,
day as the demands from the larger con.
sumers increases. simultaneously with
the springing up of this demand from a
quarter from whence practically no
orders had come for months. there CANA
a speculative demand, with the result
that plies for lake copper rapidly ad-
Vanced until now Wa have to quote 1910
"lO.JOc. per pound. with the quantities
available much smaller than ia former
years, when not So much had been sold
Tor export as to materially curt il the
quantities which could be brought down
prior to close Of lake and rail navigation.
Considering the fact that to bring COD.
per down in the winter costs half a cent
a pound more in freight alone. present
supplies are all that can reasonably be
looked for as available to meet the cur
rent demand which ought TO be. com.
paratively speaking. very much larger
thar usual, as very few of the manufact.
urers have bought much ahead. Other
descriptions have not advanced in pro-
portion with lake, as olectrolytic copper
in cakes, ingots or bars can still be had
at lOc., and in catholics at 92f, while
casting copper we have to quote al from
9i3 to 9'8. 1t cannot be expected that
this disparity will long continue.
The demand for copper to 90 abroad
has peer limited, as people on the other
side Will not pay the high prices ruling
here now. However, as G.. NJ, BIS, are
now coming rather higher. the chances
are that fair support will continue to be
from the other side, where con-
sumption continues to exceed all expec-
t~ations, the statistics for the last fort
night showing a decrease of 100 tons in
VISIBLE supplies, in spite Of the heavy
shipments from here, which have been

The Evidence Showed That the Killing
Was Done in Self Defense.
LIVINGSTON, Dec. 12.-Frank Miller,
killed his brother, P. j. Miller, during a
quarrel at a ranch in the upper Yellow
stone valley last Wednesday afternoon,
was given a hearing yesterday before
Justices Lepley and Ross. The defence
set up the plea that the killing was done
in self defense, and that it was the result
o a fight in which the deceased was the
aggressor. From the testimony given it
appears that the brothers had been quar-
reling for some time over the ownership
of some cattle and other property. The
court deemed the evidence not sufficient
to hold the prisoner to the district court
and he was released.

After Jan. |, 1894, the interest rate or
savings deposits in most, il not all, Of
the Chicago banks, will be reduced from
4 to 3 PER cent. This action is the re
suit OF the heavy accumulation of funds
for which no employment can be found
The Northern Trust company a few
days ago posted a notice of an amend
ment to the above effect to its rules gov
erning savings deposits. 1t is provided
that after Jan. |. 1891. interest shall be-
computed at the rate of 3 per cent or
Jan, and July l of each year, but or
accounts opened previous to Jan. / next
this rule shall not apply until the fol
lowing July. In other words, on all &C
counts opened this month 4 per cent in.
terest will be paid during the first 81.
months of 1894.
This action will be taken by man,
other banks within the next few DAYS
and while a few have not yet made def
mite announcement of their intentions
it is believed that by the first of the
year all Of them will have fallen into
line.
Several meetings of the officials OF the
various savings banks have been hello
lately, at which this question was dis
cussed 10 all Its phases, and it is said the
practically unanimous decision was FINAL,
reached that, in view of the steadily in.
creasing amount Of idle funds and the
small demand for loans, in justice to
themselves, the Chicago banks could no,
do otherwise than cut down the rate
paid on deposits.

Inc agrlculturlsts OF England are nov
holding a congress to devise some mean
of lessening the burdens OF the farmer
From the tenor of the proceedings some
thing must be done for them and tina
something very soon. 1t is said tha'
landlords are losing their rent and ten
ants we're being denuded of their profits
Thousands of laborers we're without
work and the towns are suffering from
an influx Of pauper labor. The ques-
ton is rapidly assuming the proportions
OF a national disaster. The nation is be.
coming more and dependent upon food
brought from foreign countries. The
consensus of expert opinion was that the
navy was inadequate to protect the food
supply in event of war. One cause of
the distress was the fall in prices, due to
foreign competitors. The home producer
is treated as a public enemy and Is
taxed, rated and defrauded of existence.
1t is necessary for the producers to CON-
bine and ask, not for protection, but 70
fair play.
The thrifty farmers of England can
settle this question by immigrating to
Montana. There is plenty of unoccu-
pied land to be taken up and a splendid
home market for all that can be raised.
Here is the way a Helena correspondent
of the Anaconda Standard sums up the
agricultural situation in this state:
"A visit to the ranches of this state
will demonstrate n thing. Our farm
ers are dependent upon foreign markets
for more than half OF their food supply.

FOUNDED BY A MACCARTHY.

Blarney Castle and the Famous Stone
Which Imparts Persuasive Powers.
Blarney castle was founded about
1850 A. D. by Cormack MacCarthy, sur
named 'the Strong" the lord of Mus
kerry and chief of younger branch of
that great MacCarthy family who once
ruled all Cork and for many years
waged fierce but, according to the
Pittsburgh Dispatch, not always sue
cessful contest for its possession with
the Saxon invader. In the struggle
the lords of Muskerry took an active
part and shared both the triumphs and
defeats of their illustrious kindred,
their stronghold of Blarney being sew
eral times lost and regained by them.
1t was captured in 1909 by Queen Eliza
beth's troops, but was restored to its
owner, MacCarthy, who was created
Viscount Muskerry. In 1919 the earl
of Orrery captured and retained it un-
til 1868, when the then Lord Muskerry,
who had been made earl of Clancarty,
received it back. The last earl Of
Clancarty espoused the cause of the
Stuarts, took up arms in behalf Of
James II. and followed that unhappy
prince into exile, after his defeat. The
possessions being forfeited, William Of
Orange granted the estate of Blarney
toa Sir George Jeffereyes, in whose
family it still remains AS stated pre-
viously, the castle was erected in 145O,
the date being inscribed upon stone
in the wall of the tower near it's sum-
NIT. The stone also bears the name of
Cormack MacCarthy, the founder of
the fortress. This is the stone known
to fame as the "Blarney stone" Its
supposed power of imparting the gift
of persuasion and facility of language
to any person who shall kiss it has
been often described and extolled in
prose and poetry, but it's origin is not
known to a certainty
