The friends of ex-Congressman Geo.
u. I1llman, approaching his erudition
and philosophy, r trying to persuade
him to go upon the lecture PLATFORM
He would make a powerful lecturer
upon popular subjects. The South is
in need of such men in this field. It is
said that out of 500 lectures delivered
n the South annually before lecture
associations for the instruction and in
SEPARATION of the people, not one hun
dred are delivered by Southern men,
Augusta Chronicle.
We take leave to caution the Hon.
gentleman, if his "phi losphy" is not
put to sufficient test by the "friends"
already, South Carolina platform
will o settle to what ''school" he be-
longs. There was once a wide space
between Zeno and Epicurus and unless
Uncle" George is we'll hardened with
the former he had better fight shy of
any such platform. The book of Job
might also be consulted.

One of the most interesting sights in
the great mining town of Butte is the
process by which copper is caught from
the emerald colorcd water that flows
from tho Anaconda and st. Lawrence
mines. 1t is estimated that this water,
which for four or live years went to
waste, is now bringing tho Anaconda
company $50, coo q month at Il cost of
about $1,000 u month.
AT the present timo several acres of
ground are covered with wooden watts.
These arc filled with all the old scrap
iron they Gun hold. 1t has proved q SPLEEN
did scheme for disposing Of the tons and
tons of old iron the company has accu-
mulatcd for years. Old hosting cages,
water pipe, wh%celbarrows, railroad iron
in fact, any old thing that consists of
tin or iron-is appropriated to this serv-
ice.
II is said for every pound of iron put
into Il vat apound Of copper is produced.
Whero the water first attacks tho iron,
the copper absorbs the iron completely
within three weeks. After tho precipi-
tation is effected the water is drawn of
me the Shiny copper is transferred to
another tank, whore the water is further
drained off. These latter watts hold
about Is tons of the copper, which now
has the appearance of n clayish sub
stance. This is sacked into packages Of
about 100 pounds. When in this shape,
it is sent to tho smcltcrs in this city.
The product carries an average of sc
per cent pure copper. The iron remain
ing III it makes IL fine fux, and whom
mixed with other smelling orc it is
said to bring tho orc up to a value OF
about $500 n ton.
The water from the mines is the most
profitable product of the Anaconda Cop.

coRcoRAN HASN'T SIGNED.

Brooklyn's Neat Shortstop Will Not go
 South With Cincinnati, and Says
 That He Does Not Care to Join the
 Reds.
 Tommie Corcoran, of 5S5 Dixwell ave- nue, this city, when seen last evening in regard to his signing with Cinoinna- u for the coming season, said that he did not want to go to Cincinnati, that he had not signed with that team. and would not go south with the team when it starts for New Orleans Thurs day. He said he had business to att tend to which would preclude the possi- bility of his going south at that time. and that he would not go even if he had no other business to interfere. He says that he has not been officially in- formed of his release by Brooklyn, nor has he been consulted in regard to the trade. The first intimation that he re- ceived from an official source of the trade was when he received a. contract from President Brush of the Cincinna- tis, accompanied by a note stating that it would be advisable for him to sign. MT. Brush desired to meet him in New York February is, but Mir. Cor coran could not go to New York on that day, and so wired MT Brush, saying that it would be convenient for him to go to New York the next day. Presi- dent Brush did not receive this an- swer in time to be present at the pro- posed meeting, and consequently no conference between the two has yet been held. Tommie says he has as yet made no definite arrangements for the coming season.

There were eighteen couples and the affair, though of smaller order, was one of the most brilliant of the season. Mrs. H. l.. Hotchkiss and Mrs. Garrison were the matrons present. The favors were the most artistic and daintiest of trifles, those for the men being heart shaped shaving cases and boutonniere of Eng fish violets, while for the girls were the prettiest of feather fans and candle shades. Mr. Henry Townsend and Mir. Sincke were the cotillion leaders. Among the girls present were the three Miss Whitneys, Miss Duer, Miss Mary Collins, Miss Foster, Miss Elsie Far nam, Miss Katherine Trowbridge, Miss May Bishop.
 The men present were all from Yale class of '97. During the halves of the cotiliion Francis served one of the fin est of 1uncheons.

CHAPEL STREET BRIDGE

The work on the proposed street bridge on Chapel street over the Con- solidated tracks is progressing slowly. There are only about five men at work and at present they are making borings near the track to find the depth of the filled soil of which all that part of the city is made. The average depth be- fore reaching hard ground is between eight and nine feet. Their borings in the ground are somewhat similar to the soundings Of a channel, and are to be used in making map of the ground for use in the plans for the foundation Of the bridge.
 By reason Of the short. sharp incline from East street down to the railroad very little, if any. grade will be neces- sary to reach the bridge from the west. On the east, however. where the land is all river bottom. it will be necessary to build an approach about 300 feet in length in order to make the grade easy for heavy wagons.
