The United States can turn out $780,
100000 pounds Of copper yearly. The
mines at Butte, Mon, arc able alone

from single small hill. OF course
the world consumption of this metal
is enormous. The waste is very great.
So many cents are lost that the United
States mint at Philadelphia is obliged
to furnish ninety millions of those
small coins annually. The copper

aluminium was not affected by coffee,

ABE SLUPSKY AGAIN.
Still in Pursuit of the Man Who Dared II
Aim Blow at Him.

Aim Blow at Him.
ST. LOUIS. June If there is a greater
man in St. Louis than Col Abe slupsky it Is
Col. Billy Rider. Col. Rider has been before
the public longer, has held office under the
government, and is usually supposed to carry
a long and exceedingly sharp knife up his
sleeve, with which to emphasize his political
arguments. But he is not school reformer.
This morning about O'Clock Col. Slupsky
and Col. Rider met at Tony Faust's. For a
long time the two sat ut one table drinking
and discussing the financial condition of the
country with a view OF solving the problem
to the benefit and satisfaction OF the army OF
the unemployed.
At length Col. Slupsky bade Col. Rider good
night ana went into another apartment. Col
Rider had not concluded his argument, and
he took offense at what he termed an attempt
Slupsky into the other room. and going up to
the table where the school reiormer had taken
a seat. declared that he lacked several of the
principles which 90 to make up u gentleman.
Col. Slupsky became somewhat angry ut the
insinuation, and in an emphatic manner ex-
pressed his personal opinion that Col Rider
was a liar.
Col. Riders blood boiled. He adjusted his
new silk hat, drew back with his mighty left,
and landed heavily upon Col. Slupsky's jaw.
The great school reformer went bouncing
over the table, carrying the glasses with him,
and landed very groggy on the floor. Col.
Slupsky was not put out, however. and,
gathering himself up, he made savage dive
at Col. Rider. The two men clinched and for
about thirty seconds honors were ever. Then
the combatants were separated by friends.
Both men were breathing heavily. but nei-
ther were willing to give up the fight. Col.
Rider made "a move in the direction OF his
long curly locks. and in an instant flashed a
bowie knife and made Il rush toward Col.
Siupsky, who was getting his wind under an
electric fan. The famous school reformer re-
allied that his life was at stake. From some
well concealed hiding place he drew a pis-
tol of tremendous length and unusual caliber,
and coolly announced his intention of spilling
the blood of his antagonist if a further ad-
vance was made.
Col. Rider wa, not slow in catching sight of
the dreadful weapon, and he made 4 dash for
the Broadway entrance OF Faust's. which he
reached with Col. Slupsky hot after him. Col
Rider clung to his knife during the chase, but
as he struck 2:30 gait down Broadway he
had the presence of mind to request his pur-
suer not to shoot, as he was retreating. The
chase is supposed to be still on. as neither of
the principals have been seen since.-New

Writer

Ed. whites Record as a Chicago Sporting
Writer.
Telegraphic dispatches from Richmond, Va,
say that Ed. White, sporting editor of a
Chicago paper, had eloped with Washing
ton society woman.
White was known in Chicago, but he was
never sporting editor OF any Chicago paper.
He was formerly bookmakers clerk on the
southern circuit and came to Chicago two
years ago. He got work as q reporter on the
Times and later did the Roby races for the
City Press Association. He was afterward
one of the turf writers on the Inter-Ocean.
White claimed 10 be the possessor OF char
ter for a race track in Virginia granted by
the legislature OF that state As the horse
men have been driven OUT Of the District os
Columbia, White claimed his charter was
worth several thousand dollars. 1t was
sweeping in its provisions, and was drawn by
Judge Pryor, Of New York, whose nephew he
claimed to be. White left here on Saturday
before the Brooklyn Handicap was run, cs-
tensibly to see the race. He said to friends
before leaving that he had an appointment In
Washington with man regarding the pur-
chase OF the echarter.-Chicago Tribune.

PICTURES OFF THE STAGE.

Neighbors Object to the Display as Seen in
the Bantam Hotel Windows.
Opposite the Gerlach, on Twenty-seventh
street, is the Bantam Hotel, at No. AZ, known
as theatrical boarding house. Several COM
plants have been received at the Thirtieth
street station that women living in the house
were accustomed to exhibit themselves at the
windows in scanty clothing and smoking
cigarettes.
Detectives Kash and Jeralemon vi,ited the
hotel at $50 p. IN. yesterday. Proprietor
Hicks disclaimed any knowledge that his
boarders were disporting themselves improp-
erly. and was qnitn shocked to learn that
they had smoked cigarettes in public view.
He said the damsels IN question were models
of Kilany's living pictures at the Garden
theater and, as the pictures were frequently
changed, the girls found it necessary to prac-
tise their new poses.
As the front room where the neighbors had
observed them was the only large apartment
10 the house, there was no other place for
them to rehearse. The detectives ordered
the proprietor TO put up shades at the win
dows and also to caution his boarders not to
smoke cigarettes. The hotel man said a
neiehbor had made the complaint because OF
n suit he had with him over the ownership Of
a dog.-New York World.

The Oldest Grapevine.

GSanta Barbara Correspondence to the Troy
Timesl
The "oldest grape vine in the country" was
indeed interesting. One growing near this.
which was known to be more than eighty years
old, died finally of good old age, and was
purchased and transported in its entirety to
the Chicago fair last Summer. This one is Al
to so years of age. and hale and hearty yet.
At its base it is fifty-two inches in circumfer-
ence. 1t grows straight up for about three
feet, then divides into six branches. and at
this point is five feet ia circumference At a
height OF perhaps seven feet it spreads it
self in all directions over an immense arbor
covering a space by actual measurement of
75x65 feet. 1t bears in one season $500
pounds OF the purple mission grapes. OF which
no use is made except as 1t Is eaten and

Can it be believed that in Shelby county are
nearly 400 persons, able-bodied men, of

on juries? Yet an official connected with the
criminal court has assured the gossiper that
when that court last week organized its juries
for the ensuing term there were persons to the
number indicated who applied for the posi-
tions. Not more than fifty persons were
needed. 1t must not be supposed, though.
that the disappointed ones were left out OF a

Graphic Picture Of the ex-POliticiau rs He
Now Is.
Mr.. Croker's buttons are already beginning
to stretch little across his waistcoat, and
his former colorless face has taken on a de-
cidedly reddish tinge. He is one OF the most
enthusiastic racegoers in the country, and he
apparently enjoys the sport. He arrives at
the track at 10 or II o'clock In tho morning,
though the racing does not begin until half
past in the afternoon, and he remains until
long after the final race of the day discussing
the horses and talking with his friends.
Sometimes he sits in the judges stand, but
oftener he may be seen wandering around the
paddock, dressed in a loose sack suit, and
wearing high hat set well back on his head.
His hands are usually in his pockets, and he
cannot be induced to talk about anything else
than horses during the time he is on tho
grounds. He is entirely approachable by
strangers and chance acquaintance. The
manner OF reserve which he maintained while
deeply immersed in politics has entirely dis
appeared.-New York Sun.

Europe Always on the Brink of War.
from the Pail Mall Gazette1

Europe is a-tremble. The nations hold
their breath. Wars of succession and the
more recent interchange of dynamite amenities
are all forgotten before the common over
whelminG danger. For the dread public OF
Andorra. which lies upon the border of the
two great neighboring nations of Spain and
France, has bought gun, and the first time
the gun is fired one Of the two great neigh
boring nations will be hit. 1t is a Krupp gun
carrying twenty miles, and the Territory Of
Andorra is but seven miles in extent. Hence
the watchiul eye OF diplomacy closes not in
sleep and ceaseless prayers 20 up that the
charge may be blank one, or that some in
tervening Pyrenee may stop and so avert an
International disaster.
