IT is estimated that twelve new
churches are dedicated on the average

London it was decided to form Pres

by the unl1ind behavior of her husband
that she always failed to remember the
proper procedure in such cases until
she got home. Then she was accus-
toned 70 tell her husband where he had
been mistaken, and intervals Of cool
ness would arise between them. So the
husband has given up accompanying
his wife to the stores.
Six weeks have PASSED and the hus-
band no longer asks his wife every
evening If she thinks she will be able to
get the few things still lacking on the
morrow, so that they will be able to
move into their new house on the day
following. lie has schooled himself to
a point where he is now resigned to
making his dinner from one small piece
of beef, and no longer dreams of the
beauties of housekeeping. At the same
time hopes have begun to spring up.
His wife is talking of trip to the
south.
I'm so tired" she says, ''and I really
need to go somewhere to rest"
That makes him think that the shop
ping must be nearly over and that the
next move she makes will be to begin
housekeeping.-N. Y. Sun.

world, and its pumps are wonderful
examples of skill and ingenuity, but the
Philadelphia pump, with daily capa-
city Of 10000, 900 gallons, would prove
comparatively small by contrast If
placed beside the largest pump in the
| world. This pump is at Lake Linden,
Mich, and is owned and operated by
the Calumet and Hecla Mining Com
pany.
The Calumet and Hecla pump,
named the Michigan, is truly marvel
lous piece of mechanism. It can de-
liver $500, 900 gallons of water every
hour in the twenty-four without being
crowded to it's limit of capacity, and
it will do the work with scarcely as
much noise as is made by the operation
of an old-styIe sewing machine. Out
side the doors of the great building
which houses it no sound is heard from
within, and, standing beside the mon
ster, upon the brink of the pit connect
ed with the lake from which the water
is taken, almost the only sound heard is
the noise of the suction, as with every
stroke more than a thousand gallons
are lifted.
Briefly, it is triple-expansion pump
ing engine with a capacity Of 10000, 900
gallons, standing nearly fifty feet in
height and requiring I,oOU horsepower
for it's operation. 1t has been proved
by actual tests that the nominal capa-
city can be easily maintained for an
indefinite time without injury or strain,
and that if pushed to it's full capacity
the pump could handle approximately
IS, 900, 900 gallons in twenty-four con-
secutfve hours.
The duty of the pump is to furnish
water for the great stamp mills Of the
Calumet and Hecla Company, which
has twenty-five steam pumps in con-
tinuous operation, daily pulverizing
5000 tons of conglomerate rock into
sand so fine that it can be carried away
by a stream of swiftly running water.
The pump is housed in special build
ing near the shore of Torch Lake and
below the mills, and it forces steady
stream of water to the upper portions
of the mill, where innumerable small
jets play upon the great slime tables
and jigs. Here the specific gravity of
the fine particles of copper contained
in the rock separate the mineral from
worthless sand and the size and force
of the streams of water are so nicely
regulated as to wash away the sand
and yet carry with it the minimum of
copper.

TO continue fighting until tho Independence Of

"The world often admires Spain's gigantic
efforts to suppress tho insurrection. 1t would
DO more logical to keep that admiration for those
who, like the Cubans, deprived Of all adequate
means to oppose powerful enemy, still hold
their own with indomitable tcnacity.
"Spain may say all she wishes about Cuba
being paciflcd; It will none tho less remain true
that war exists there from east TO west as II did
in November last when Spain added 05,000
soldiers TO tho already numerous army in
Cuba. There arc Gen. Weyler's daily reports Of
the war to give the lie to tho story Of pacin-
cation. These reports naturally claim victories
for tho Spanish soldiers, but, whether true
or not, thoy are evident proof that tho
insurrection has lost no ground since the time
when tho walls Of Spanish statesmen such as
Seniors Sagasta and Moret over the failures of

Good GoyeCnment Club had It's monthly

although he said Mr.. Low had weakened himself
by his support OF the Greater New York char
ter. He said that the Citizens Union ticket
should be nominated at once to prove to the
the political parties. John Brooks Leavitt also
urged early nominations as he said that great
pressure would be brought to bear to seducc the
Republicans away from the movement.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 1.-THE Democratic
State Central Committee will meet hero on
Wednesday next to elect a Chairman and fix the
time and place for the coming State convention.
Tho indications are that John NJ. Garman will
be reelected and that he will reappont Secre-
taries Savage and Van Dyke. The contemplated
action Of the committee. SO far as the adoption
OF resolutions is concerned. is generally under
stood to be that while Bryan and his candidacy
will be indorscd. the fight for State Treasurer
and Auditor-General will be mainly conducted
on State issues 1t is quito likely that George
Stainor. pension agent at Pttsburg, will be

On the basis OF the Presidential vote of 1892
there were eighty.scven members in the State
Committee but the committee which organizes
on Wednesday will have only eighty-two mem
bers owing to the Democratic slump at the re-
cent Presidential election. Allegheny, which
for tho past four years had four members will

falls from nine TO seven. Lancaster also loses

Philadelphia will have siXty-flve delegates in
