RAINBOW CHASING,
Brann, the Attraction at Ghio's Opera
House Tomorrow Night

Somebody, speaking Of Branns
new lecture Rainbow Chasers, has
declared il an intellectual cock
,ail, aud says that Mr, Brann not
only chases ralnbows, but paints
the lilly, gilds fine gold" and does
other nice little things like that, so
that a man really loves to watch the
efiect-indeed, Mr.. Brann's wonder
full command Of language is only
equaled by his depth of thought and
variety Of expression. As a word
painter he is matchless, aud no in
telhgent person ever listened to him
for ten minutes without learning
something worth knowing Some
"carping critic" has said that it
might not be a nice thing for ladies
to hear Brann lecture-7tn this con
nection it may be noted that Mr.
Braun has addressed more ladies
societies in Texas than any other
speaker of recent years, and that
he offers to devote $5O0.0O to chari-
ty for every lady who shall leave his
audience justly offended at his ut
terances. Mr.. Ward, who passed
yesterday in the city, says that the
prospects for a large house tomor-
row night are very good indeed.

ABOUT TOWN.

The reporter stopped in various
groupes to-day to listen to see what
he could catch in the way of news:
Our good democratic friend, J. D.
Gaines, was entertaining a lot of
democrats and republicans with his
off handed wit. He said: 81 was
told when l was boy, that there
were no two things alike in this
world, and l have grown to man,
hood believing thus, but my mind
has at last been discussed on this
question, for along comes the Cleve-
land panic, followed closely by the
Mckinley prosperity boom, and
each is the counterpart of the
other, with results equally as dis
asterous to the country"
Passing further down the street,
we ran upon crowd talking about
the Kentucky Colonels, who are
guests of our city. One of the
crowd was a distinguished Ken
tuckian himself, and is sometimes
dubbed colonel" when he is away
from home, but is better known by
his given name here. All had spo-
ken their thoughts of the Colonels,
when our Kentuckyan said: "Boys
| have called on them, was at the
reception, hung around there two
hours and didn't catch sight of a
bottle or get a taste OF the critter.
The Colonels are all right in their
demeanor, but they are not the
kind of colonies | was used to seeing
over in old Kentucky when | lived
there"
On the corner of Broad Street
and State Line, there was gathered
a crowd, ioshing Sam SolinskY, who
has announced for city attorney.
One young fellow said to him;
''Sam | have heard of politicians
getting blue, but you have a
"Black" hue. Come, cheer up, old
fellow, remember that Ben Strum
is out of the city, and since his de-
parture, there is not a razor in
town against you"

Died.

In this city, this morning at 10
o'clock, Capt. W. 7. Moore, at his
residence ON State street, near Mrs.
Fannie Trigg. The deceased came
here some ten months ago from
Llano, Texas, and bought a lumber
yard and store Oh Rose Hill, near
the Hawk mill, and when not sick
was at his place of business, and
made few acquaintances here, on
account of his isolation from the
business center OF the city, He
leaves wife and four children, and
we learn they will be provided for
through his forethought in taking
out insurance. His brother will ar
arrive here this afternoon, and we
suppose the remains will be shipped
back to Missouri where the family
we're originally from.
Mr.. Charles Reeves has charge of
the remains and will prepare them
for shipment or burial.
We offer our sympathy to the be-
reaved family.

We had a fine mess of perch yes
terdaY presented to us by Master
Willie Whitley. The fish we're taken
from the natatorium as twas being
drained. II is wonderful how fish
multiply and grow, although they
may be distributed in ponds and
holes isolated from running streams.
The way these perch got into the
natatorium was through 2-inch
pipe placed through the Gam to let
the water out of the natatorium,
into the back lake, both water lines
being at the same stage during the
high water period, the fish passed
the pipe into the swimming place.

Low Grade Ores.

A friend of ours who has just re- burned from visit to Clifton left us the following bit of interesting read ing concerning the treatment of cop per ore:
 learned while at Clifton that quantity of even low grade ores was a desideratum in copper production. Half of the copper produced twenty tons daily at Clifton comes from cop per ores yielding respectively three per cent and seven per cent. The former is dissolved by sulphuric acids in yats. The copper settling at the bottom from whence it is removed to the furnace and on to the cOncentra- tors for refinement, the five per cent, six per cent and seven per cent are crushed and separated by ingenious devices, called iigs, distributing four sizes to mills which grind to a fine powder and is conveyed to a set of vanners fourteen in number, which by their motion and the action of water settles the unrehned metal in grooves, and carries the worthless

matter otT These sanners were erect ed at a cost of Si5O each and the gen tleman in charge assured me that where plenty of water could be ob- tained, that the reduction Of low grade ores in great quantities could be made quite as profitable as grades of sixty per cent which were more difficult to mine.
 Sulphide copper ores which former ly were considered an expensive ore to treat are now being worked advan- tageously and the sulphur, formerly a great hindrance which had to be ex- pelled by roasting, is now utilized for fuel in pyretic smeiters. -Graiiam Guardian.

MISS DEGREES PROPHECY.
eB-r Prediction of wariike Service for the
 olympia st Its Christening.

The proudent lady in the land is Miss Anna Dickie, daughter of Geo. w. Dickie, superintendent of the Enion Iron works at San Francisco. Miss Dickie's pride is quite pardon able, too. for she had the honor of shedding the first blood for the new navy Miss Dickie was chosen to christen tue cruiser Olympia when she was launched from the plant of the Union Iron works. She was then bright little girl Of l2. Now she has grown up and is one Of San Fran cisco's beautiful daughters.
 As the Olympia slid along the ways Miss Dickie raised a bottle of cham 'pagne and brought It down with a crash over the bow of the vessel. It was noticeable that something had happened not exactly in accordance with the programme. A smile of fortitude, rather indicating an att tempt to suppress pain, was apparent on Miss Dickies face, aud the specta- tOrs wondered why she wrapped a handkerchief about her finger, where it remained for the rest of the day. Now that Dewey has met and con quered the Spanish fleet in Manila Miss Dickie is oyerjoyed with the suc- cess of the Olympia. In the utmost enthusiasm she praises the splended behavior of the ship, but she did not care to discuss the subject of the slight accident that occurred when the vessel was launched.
 Her father was less reticent 1t was all on account of that bottle of champagne, said MT. Dickie When my daughter broke that bottle over the ships bows, according to an an- cient and hOuOred maritime custom, d particle of the shattered glass cut her finger, which bled profusely. The blood trickled down over the bow and left d crimson streak along the rail. She turned to me with queer little smile and exclaimed: See, father, it is good omen--the first blood for the new navy Let me make d prophecy this will be the first ship of the new navy tu shed blood for our nations honor.'H Now, MT. Reporter, Miss Dickie chimed in, you see why am proud of my ship. Every bolt and rivet was placed under the direct supervision of my father from the keel to the buck. So you see sue is one of the family, and you may be sure we are proud of the relation ship" New York World

RAILROADS IN WAR.

The immense network of railways covering this country would be of in estimable utility in case of war with Spain. Should war be declared the south of Florida, from which troops could be transferred easily to Cuba, would become the base of operations This would have been too far from the center of population a few years ago. But now the Plant system of roads covering all Florida and extending north to Charleston makes the collec- tion of troops as easy at Key West as at any of the most important ports on the seaboard. If the base of oper- ations were made at New Orleans, the railroad system is still more perfect, reaching all parts Of the country, with sufficient capacity to transport all the troops and war supplies that would be necessary for the most extended military operations.
 Wherever the base of the war should be located, the system of railways is ample for all purposes. No country is better provided in this respect In Canada road has been constructed at great cost and trouble acrcss the continent, for military as we'll as for commercial advantages. Russia is en- gagged on her trans-Siberian railroad, which the government had to build for it's own purposes. Military roads in India have cost England millions of pounds. Every nation of Europe has found it serious problem how to move it's troops in case of war
 All these questions have been solved for the United States government by the enterprise of the people. The inn mense military value of our railway systems has been lost sight of until the possible occasion for their use is forced to the attention of the govern ment and the people.

We are surprised that eX-Auditor Leitch should display temper over our innocent statement connecting his name with the capitol commission Did not we say at the outset that he undoubtedly was ignorant of the ef- fort being made to have him appointed to the commission? Has not he veri- fled cur assertion that. If he had any suspicion of such a movement in his behalf undoubtedly he would put a stop to it?" He says in his newspaper that he does not want the place. Why, then, should he go out of his way to lampoon The Republican? While we fully believe that Leitch has grown tired of office holding, and would spurn the thought of taking even his old place ill the territorial administration, his vicious reception of our good offices io this capitol commission matter TO doubt will incline many to believe that he is really trying to get back on the territorial pay roll. It is a pity that Mir. Leitch should have awakened this suspicion.

WE SHOULD INITIATE GERMANY.

The eXtravagant use of timber and the consequent waste of American for ests has often been commented upon. Newspapers are constantly urging the conservation of forests, but to compar- atively little purpose. There never was a nation using wood to the extent that the people of this country do. For ex- ample, the majority of our houses and other structures are still built of wood, and the majority of our homes are still warmed by the product of the forest, in spite of the rapid development of sumption of wood of all descriptions exceeds that of the English people twenty-five times, and of the Germans nearly ten times; while of coniferous wood, pine, spruce, cypress and the like, for building purposes, the one class of wood which is most needful, we consume with 400 feet broad measure per capita, four to five times as much as those two nations. And as our population grows, our consumption SIOWS, Iu0 Ol HULL, StOuO, coal, etc., being offset by new uses for wood. Can this drain Of our natural forest resources continue forever? Can we continue to be woodchoppers with out becoming foresters? We do not need to present statistics to prove that sooner or later there must be an end to this one sided process Of taking the wood crop without the other part of the business being attended to-the reproduction. Tn other words, the time must come sooner or later when the virgin timber will have been cut , and we must rely on the new growth that may have sprung up after the old timber was removed; and if this is true, we will have to take an interest in the young growth, and finally we must take care of it. Logging, which is nothing but the reaping of nature crop, must be supplemented by for estry, which means the reproduction of a new and useful crop.
 It is time we began to initiate Ger many, where the forester is one of the most useful of government officials
 and who sees that when a tree is cut down in the forest a young one is planted in place of the old.
