STATESMEN AS PREVARICAToRs.
The Nashville american says
"What prevaricators some of OuI
so-called statesmen are! Ingalls, is
the latest example. He spoke on
Labor Day, and told his audience that
there are one hundred thousand mil.
lionaires in the United States. Not
content with this statement, he said
there were perhaps more. The as
sessed valuation Of property in the
United States in 1890 was not 800
900, 900, 900, or less than one-fifth the
amount ingalls, told his audience his
mythical one hundred thousand
owned. There are, perhaps, four
thousand millionaires in this coun
try, but Ingalls,, in order to impress
his audience, deliberately misled
them and multiplied the number by
twenty-five"
THE MORA CLAIM PAID.--Spain's
payment of the Mora claim to the
amount of 81 800, 900 marks the anx.
iety of the power which holds Cubs
to have just now the goodwill of the
United States and afford no ground
for unfriendly action on our part
The claim arose out of the confisca.
ton of the estates of Antonio Mora,
an American citizen, during the re-
bellion of 1868. Spain long ago ad.
mitted the obligation to pay, and
made repeated promises, but the
money was not forthcoming. Just
now it is exceedingly announcement
for her to raise the money, but she
has raised it for reasons OF policy

vented by the opposition of the ma.

THE GREAT FALLS IRON WORKS
A Brief Description of This Wonder.
full Young Enterprise, With Its
Large and Numerous Buildings,
Ponderous Machinery and Force
Of Employees.

AT the corner of Eighth avenue
north and Thirteenth street, Great
Falls, stands the bustling plant of
the Great Falls Iron Works company.
This is destined to become great
foundry, backed by such men as
Paris Gibson, l.. S. Woodbury. and
others, and is now in the fifth year Of
it's successful existence. The found
ry department is kept busy to its
full capacity, and with a force of
competent pattern makers always
engaged they can supply castings of
any size Or shape in either iron or
brass on the shortest possible notice.
OF patterns their stock runs to about
$4,000 in cost.
They carry also large stock of
general hardware, including miners
steel, picks, hammers, boiler tubes,
machine screws, brass and steel wire,
pipe fittings, pump fixtures, valves,
lead tubing, boiler rivets, washers,
brass goods, tools, forges, fre-brick
station and sinking pumps, engines,
/
and. everything in the line of a whole
sale or retail hardware supply house.
1t would pay the citizens of Nei
hart to visit this plant. The motor
line of the street railway passes the
door. While the buildings are not
imposing the plant is doing as mucl
business as the thirty employees
can attend to. l.. S. Woodbury. is
the president and manager, having
held that position since the works
started. We predict that the day i:
not far distant, should this energetic
official live when the Great Fall.
Iron Works will be the largest anC
most notable manufacturing estab
lishment between the lakes and tn,
ocean.

You surely want to keep fully

want to know how the situation is in
Utah for Heber NJ. Wells and John

what Reed and Mckinley or Clevc-
land and Whitney may be doing in
the way of rustlng for the Fresiden-
tial chair. The only way to get
such information, local and foreign,
IS from newspaper real live,
metropolitan, up-todate newspaper

only one in the Territory. People

A Rich Porphyry Dyke.

A group of mines to which con-
siderable attention has been called,
says the Western Mining World,
lays on the maine divide of the
Rockies, about eighteen miles in
northerly direction from the mining
camp of Basin and six miles south
west from Rimini. Placer mining
has been going on for many years in
the gulches in this district, and of
late years considerable mining opera
tons, notably at the Ontario and
Josephine mines, but until this year
no bolies of free milling gold lead
has been found.
Some placer miners in working
up the gulch at the head Of which
the group we are discussing lays,
were induced to test the immense
body of phorphyry, which here forms
the apex of the mountain ridge
northeast and southwest, and in so
doing discovered small but rich
streak, carrying gold, right on the
dividing line, and on sinking on this
for fifty feet were enabled to take
out quite little sum in free gold.
"A further investigation and by the
use Of the pan, they found that the
ledge body, more or less, carried
this precious metal. On their dis
covery becoming known the whole
mountain on the line of the dyke
was quickly located by prospectors.
The origininal discoveries have lately
made "A sale to Butte parties Of their
holdings comprising three claims and
IA mill site, and the ore body is now
being Systematically opened up by
this syndicate. SO far their opera
| tons have been attended with sue
cess, as in the ten stamp mill they
recently erected, several hundred
tons ran through the same giving re-
turns Of about So per ton average of
free gold.
The dyke cuts the main range at
about right angles and this spur $50
to speak, terminates facing the no.
torious Red mountain in which so
many veins of ore have been dis
covered and from which the late Mr.
Broadwater had made much profit
in the earlier mining days. At
present the porphyry has been found
to carry gold over a length Of about
two miles and width, SO far as yet

major, Servet Bey, witnesses affirm
the Armenians did not use revolvers
until he had ordered the police to
fire upon them. When Servet Bey
fell there was frightful tumult and
the police charged the crowd with
revolvers and swords.
According to the police reports
only 70 persons were killed and
eight wounded during the riot Mon
day, but more reliable reports place
the number killed at over POO.
News has been received from Da-
mascus that the French consul there
has been attacked by the mob, gross
ly insulted and pelted with mud.

interest centered rather in the person
of the man than in anything he had
to say.
Closing the review of this inter
esting show we add word compli-
mentary to Great Falls and her
people. They have surmounted
many obstacles, bridged chasms and
bounded over difficulties that
would have shaken the stability of
other cities. Always armed for adj
versity, they press on in the midst of
terrors that woul drive the less
courageous to ignoble retreat. They
are more than holding their own,
gradually growing, building, and
enlarging. Great Falls is destined
to become THE substantial town be.
tween the twins and the coast.

Squire in Luck.

Judge Williams of the supreme
court on Oct. 4, gave an opinion in
the celebrated suit brought by Os-
good and others against United
States senator Watson c. Squire and
others, involving the title to between
sl,O00,OOO and s2,0O0,000 worth OF
property in the city of Seattle
Wash. The Judge decides in favor
of senator Squire. The case has
been on trial for more than yeal
and has excited wide interest.

An Important Point to PrOspectOrs

The belief is entertained by many
prospectors and miners that quartz
or placer claim cannot be represented,
according to law, unless the work is
done inside of the boundaries of the
claim which they mean to represent,
and that if a tunnel is started outside
of the lines for the purpose of gain
ing greater depth on the ledge, which
is often the case, or the building of
road or cabin outside of said
boundaries, Notwithstanding that the
work is done for the benefit and de-
velopment of said claim, Is void.
This is great mistake as the sup
RENE court of Utah in deciding the
case of Harrington VS.. Chambers,
(Which would also hold good in this
state) says: "Work done outside OF
mining claim, if done for the pur-
pose and as a means of developing
the same, is as available for holding
the claim as if done within the
boundaries of the claim itself. One
general system of work may be de.
vised, we'll adapted and intended te
develop several contiguous claims
and when such is the case, work il
furtherance of the system is work Oh
the claims intended to be developed
by it."

PRESBYTERIAN Manse,

We are pleased to record the fact
that the Presbyterian church is to
have a Manse for their pastor, a feat
ure that will put them on an equal
footing with the Episcopal and MethO-
dist societies. We announced q week
or two since that they were in pursuit
of lot to build on, that belonging to
Frank Bailey, nearly opposite the
church, having the preference. On
Thursday last this was cOnsummated,
the trustees making the purchase of
the front part of the lot from Mr..
Bailey,-50 feet front, 1919 feet deep,
for $780,
The above price was but little more
than half its value, and is considered
q liberal concession on the part of Mr..
Bailey, feeling of good will or town
pride that it is hoped will be shared on
the part of the community. If so, like
the church, it will rise into fair pro-
portions and be a credit to the town
without being tax or resting as debt
on any class in it.
1t is not expected this winter to dc
more than pay for the lot. Next sum
mer, all things working along favor
ably, and there is no fOreseen reason
why it should not, they may be able tc
meet their cherished desires with then
new pastor, Rev. j. L. Estlin, by put,
ting him and his family in a centrally
located, comfortable, modern home, -
in a word a Manse that the denomina
tion and the community will fee
proud of.

School Teachers Libraries.

A new feature Of advanced school
work in some localities and States is
that Of School Libraries. 1t at least Is
a matter for the consideration of teach
ers and others in our State. The fol-
lowing note from DR.. j. u. Clawson,
of Philadelphia, ls suggestive, and
might properly claim the attention OF
the members of the Institute late IN
session here:
III do not know what the state Of
things is in Kent county in regard to
school libraries in the different dis
tricts, but i am quite sure a library IN
every school in the county would have
o wonderful educating influence upon
the pupils, and that with very little
effort q movement could be set on foot
that would result in securing such &
desirable result. il you could induce
your Teachers Institute TO take hold
Of the matter and give it a good boost
you would receive the thanks Of many
young folks throughout the county,
perhaps throughout the State. I
The following from the Salem, N. 3. +,
Sunbeam is apropos on this subject;
"The teachers Of Salem county, N,
j.. have decided to take advantage Of
the States offer Of aid in establishing
a ptofessional library. They will raise
Sf06. which, added to the 500 con-
tribllted by the State, will enable them

& 40 most advanced in pedagogical
ture, and will open TO many Of

A Pleasant ReceptiOu.

Rev. and Mrs. Adam Stengle gave
very pleasant cat Home" in the M. E.
Parsonage last Wednesday night which
was largely attended. The many re-
cent improvements to the parsonage
have added so much to their comfort that
they have contemplated for some time
of showing their appreciation to their
Smyrna friends by holding a reception
and it proved to be pleasant one in
every respect.
The parsonage was thrown open to
their friends and every one given an
hospitable greeting. The only decOra-
tions in evidence were in the dinning
room where neat folds of yellow bunt-
ing were displayed.
Rev. and Mrs. Stengle received the
guests and were aided by number OF
young people, who serving on different
committees, made everyone feel at
home. Coffee and waters were served
in the course of the evening.
For the entertainment of the guests
some enjoyable instrumental and vocal
music was rendered by Mrs. Marion
Coverdale, Mrs. Sara Prettyman, Miss
Bertha Smithers, Miss Sara Pratt, and
Miss Edith Beck. Mr.. L. M. Price
gave some sweet solos. Messrs Ali
son Start and Lee Clifton furnished {
violin duet to the accompaniment O.
Mrs. Marion COverdale.
The heevening was one Ofpleasant socla
greeting where pastor and people were
brought together in closer fellowship
and warm fraternal feeling. Many com
plimentaryr yremarks were made concern
ing the improvements of the parsOn
age and the neat and cozy manner il
which it is kept.

The vacant Senatorship of Delaware
excites no little interest not only in this
State, but at Washington and through
out the nation. The credentials of
Henry A. Dupont as the successor of
Anthony Higgins were duly presented,
but have been deferred for cOnsidera-
ton until after the holidays.
Ex-senator Anthony Higgins, Ed
ward G.. Bradford, of Wilmington, and
Halbert E. Paine, of Washington,
have prepared their argument in sup
port of Col. Henry A. DupOnt's claim
to set in the United States Senate.
''It is claimed that Colonel Dupont
had a majority of votes in the Legisla-
ture on the final day of the session and
is therefore chosen Senator. Colonel
Dupont's attorneys contend that ac-
cording to a rule of common law no
person shall exercise two incompatible
offices az the same time. Under the
American system, executive and legls-
lative, officers are incompatible and
without expressed or implied statutory
or constitutional authority, no person

How far Philadelphia is from being
an earthly paradise was indicated by
the testimony heard last week by the
investigating committee Of the Senate.
From this it appears that vice fourishes
in that city to a frightful extent, and
seemingly the police have been as COM
pletely in league with the lawbreakers
as those Of New York were shown to
be by the Lexow Committee. The
existence of an extensive system of
blackmailing is more than hinted at.
