famous spreads that were laid In the
crystal banqueting hall of the now de-
funct Hotel Richilieu. Invitations had
been extended to the president and
vice-president-elect. to Mark Hanna
and others who were prominent in the

publican executive committee; Cover
nor-elect Tanner, Mayor Swift and

ages are quite distinct. On the whole.
the plate is considered very satisfac-
tory, as II was taken by means of APP
paratus that is crude and under con-
ditions which were not perfect.
This afternoon Professor Merritt and
Professor Scheuch, assisted by Tom
Landers. made a most interesting ex-
pertinent. Professor Scheuch placed
his hand upon the table and for two
hours and 10 minutes an exposure Of
the plate in the camera was made in
the light of the new ray. Tonight the
plate was taken to ingalls, photograph
carefully in a weak bath. Professor
Merritt and Standard reporter
watched Mr.. Ingalls, as he brought out
the lines on the plate. Slowly they
appeared, at first hardly visible to an
Impractical eye, but later the negative
became very distinct. The ring on the
little finger and bones of the hand are
plainly visible. This is by all odds the
most successful trial that has yet been
made

From Engineering and Mining Journal.
The market remains very firm, but
somewhat quieter and we hear that va
rious efforts have been made to talk the
market down." There is, however, ex-
ceedingly little offered for sale, and the
prices asked are high. Besides, while
exports are going on at such a satisfac-
tory rate and "a continuous good demand
exists from abroad, there is very little
likelihood of prices giving way to any ex-
tent, even If consumption by home trade
does not become better than ii already is.
All manufacturers appear to be rather
busy, and with the approaching spring
orders Will become more numerous. There
can be no doubt that production will be
somewhat curtailed by the diminished
output of both the Butte & Boston and
the Tamarack, which will hardly be off,
set by an increase in other brands. For
lake copper lie is being bid, with no SELL
ers below 11h@11Ac. Electrolytic copper
is obtainable from 10$aa107sc in cakes; in
gots or wire bars, with an allowance of

dull at 10l2d10ssc.

A French Woman on Family Life Il
America

The father is, as general rule, very
different in America from what he is
in Europe. He does not expect to meet
with such blind submission, nor does
he feel himself bound by so narrow du-
ties. He is not obliged to give his
daughter a dowry, for instance. He
can let his native city profit by share
of the fortune he has made, without
his sons ever thinking of grumbling, at
the expensive founding of some estab-
lishment for the public good. But
nothing has struck me so much as TO
see of how little consequence a father
of a family can be, in his own house,
in certain circles in New York, for in
stance. / have visited houses where he
seemed only to have dropped in by ac-
cident, evidently at a loss to recognize
most of the invited guests, and yet
showing himself quite hospitable with
the goodwill of his hand-shake and
his smile, and repeating, almost as IL
he did not know to whom he was
speaking, that everlasting, trivial
phrase. glad to see you" In other
places l have attended large dinner
parties given in the absence of the
master of the house. The liberty in this
respect is general this is or that one
of the sons or daughters accepts an
invitation without troubling himself or
herself about a reception at home that
ing excuses. Each has his friends, his
social duties. his separate existence,
and disposes of his time as seems best
TO himself. Self-sacrifice. If perchance
Vt showed itself often seemed to me
to meet with an indifference that was
not very encouraging-nor does one
sacrifice ones self unless one be the
father OF the family. who certainly
practices self-immolation TO an unusual
degree. He. often works in harness at
home, while his family passes years in
Europe leading that purely worldly life
which the American colony in Paris ex-
hibits to us-all under the pretext that
travelling develops the young people,

A DELICATE OPERATION.
The Doctors Think Myers VIII Recover
One Lung Removed.


Missoula, Mont, March lied Myers.

Stark last Monday, and whose
death has been expected ever since.
seems to be in a fair way to recovery. An
operation was performed at the Sisters
hospital this afternoon by Drs. Hanson.
Rockman and Mccullough, and tonight
the injured man is much better. The sixth
rib on the left side was found to be split
by the knife which Stark used and was
decaying. In the cavity of the lungs were
two gallons of pus and the decayed lung
was removed. and the man at once be-
came easier The left lung has almost en-
tirely been destroyed. The operation
seems to have been successful. 1t was one
of the most delicate surgical operations
ever performed here. Through the aper-
ture in the mans side could be seen his
heart in regular action, a sight not often
witnessed. Unless reaction from the ope-
ration interferes 1t is believed that My
ers will recover.
