cans from nearly every section Of the
union: and built their log huts, board
cottages and rude brick houses Of all
styles and no particular style, curiously
contrasting with the odd oking pie
bald buildings Of the French and Span
ish. The French being very exclusive,
and the Spanish reserved and cold, the
Americans naturally gravitated to the
other side of Canal street, and here
built a beautiful and prosperous city.

The first portion of the French quar-

provement is historic Exchange place,
leading off from Canal street, the divid-
ing line. This little alleyway was the
commercial and financial center of
.French-Spanish New Orleans. It was
what its name indicates. Nowthe Off
ces Of the money changers are occupied
by restaurants and barber shops. On
Royal, Dauphine and Bourbon Ameri-
can stores have encroached for several
squares southwark, and saloons and
restaurants are deploying TO the front
like the pickets of an advancing army.
In the midst of this commercial inva-
sion, and unaffected by it, sits the curio
dealer in his dilapidated shop, where
walls lean against those of its neighbor,
as if it, too, was about to depart. The
dingy room is filled with antique fur

French books and old family relics

i THE. OLD FRIEND !, !,

There 10 no friend like the old friend to
= make the fond heart bleed s$
When he meets you with supercilious
air, &&F NJ t~
And his glancing eye assures you that he
knows you're gone to seed, II
AND It's no more use for him to treat you
fair. A %s1.e r. -
Oh, his fine, affected tone ~
AS he talks to you alone, g,
AND the patronizing cadence Of his
voice, ~ ~
For the fool can scarce construe
The submissive strength in you, a
Or he would not SO pretentiously rejoice.
There is no friend like the old friend to
- make the fond heart sad,
AS he turns away his head to see you
not;
Forgetting all the favors from your hands
that he has had.
IT'S so rich to cut you dead upon the
spot, ~
Oh, his blank and stony glare,
Shot straight up into the air,
And the digniied demeanor of his back!
All, fool! beyond the days
OF his hypocritic praise,
Now dark Nemesis to call upon his
track!
There is no friend like the old friend to
make the heart rejoice
When he grabs your toil-hard hand and
hugs it tight.
The old ring and the true ring in his we'll
remembered voice,
While his eyes are filled with manifest de-
light;
For he greets you with shout,
Stimulation all left out,
A hearty friend, lifelong friend, pure
gold;
And he holds you long and late
With force as strong as fate
The bond Of faithful friendship grand and
old.
There Is no friend Like the old friend to
drive dull care away,
To lift the laden beast and make it stout.
Like burst Of summer sunshine, his pres.
ence glads the day,
And puts the DEVILS blue to utter rout
For what's the odds to him
If your prospects yet are dim,
And the binding of your vest. is worn
and frayed?
Like rock he stands by you
With friendship warm and true
And faithful sense Of honor unbetrayed.

A UNIQUE MINING CAMP.
Obedient Gold ,Diggers Who Neithe
Smoke. Drink Nor Swear

Obedient Gold Diggers Who Neither
Smoke, Drink Nor Swear.
Eighteen miles from Tombstone, A.
T., is mining camp unique in all the
west, where whisky and tobacco never
intrude, where oaths are unknown and
where the population keep the Sabbath
with all the strictness of Scotch vii
lage. The miners hold morning and
evening prayer, and the argument OF
Scriptural points furnishes the only
recreation for sturdy men, such men
as in other camps find their pleasures
at the gambling table or in red liquor.
Yet it is their choice, and few have been
the bacl1sliders in the years the com:
munity has known an organized ex-
istence.
The camp is, in every sense, coop
erative one. It gains it's livelihood and
takes it's name from the Copper Glance
mine, gold property IF real value. All
the men do their share in the extraction
or reduction of the rich ore, and all are
increasing in the worlds goods at a
rapid rate
AS is usual in such communities, the
camp has recognized leader. His name
is Samuel Donnelly. He is stoutly built,
in height about five feet seven inches, of
what might be:termed benevolent pres
ence, full beard largely concealing a
rather weak face. He is the camps
arbiter, judge and ruler. His words are
law. His influence on his two score of
followers is remarkable, and, though
curiously erratic, seems generally di-
rected toward absolute justice On code
modelled on the teachings of the apos-
ties of old. His generosity is evident
from the fact that he freely divides
with the. community the wealth de-
rived from working the mine, of which
he is the principal owner.
The first scandal attaching to Copper
Glance camp came from a man who
had deserted the fold and had Joined
at Bisbee the great majority of carnal-
minded. He told story of incidental
immortality on the part of Donnelly
The deserter's wife, it appeared had re-
fused to follow him, remaining, with
her several children, with the prophet.
Donnelly's duties are correctional as
well as admonitory. Thus it was he
was hauled before the district court at
Tombstone, charged with castigating,
with a buggy whip, an 11-months-old
babe, in which the devil was supposed
to have found temporary Judgment. He
was also charged in the same complaint
with aggravated assault, in having
ducked small boy for some trivial mis-
deed, such ducking having been attend
ed with circumstances of unusual
cruelty. It was a rambling statement
of his peculiar views of religion. He
had been member of the Salvation
Army, he said, but in later years had
preferred to carve for himself just the
particular kind of spiritual meat need
ed by his system. The jury found him
guilty, though the charge of whipping
was lily sustained and the mother of
the boy stated the ducking was with her
full approval. The. case is now on ap-
peal before the territorial supreme
court at Phoenix, and decision is ex-
pected within few days.-Cincinnati

leave us without the hope OF better
ing our condition, for there would
be no avenue open by which man
could build up business for him
self or improve his condition, or al
low him to hope that his children
could ever be anything but hard
worked and pooly paid servants OF
the trust.
The promoters of trusts, COM
bines and pools say that the day of
the independent manufacturer and
Dealers gone, and that we are on
a new order of things; that there
is a great economic force behind the
movement for consolidating and
pooling; but in our opinion it is
really principle of greed and Gu
pidity and not of economy.
What is here stated as to the to-
bacco trust is true as to every 9th
er trust. They are all formed for
the same general profit making
purpose, and they all seek to at
tain their ends by the same general
means.
When there is only one market
for product the buyer fixes the
price; when the output is CONTROL,
ed by one trust it fixes the price to
the dealer or User; when there IS
only one employer of certain kind
m labor the employer is the only
one that has voice in fixing Wag-
es; ana when a market is controlled
by one person, or one combination,
the consumer must pay any price
asked. In the case of every trust
both the producer of the raw ma
terial and the final, consumers are
helpless.

He Has Been an HouOred Visitor to
Our City.

Ex-Mayor and Mrs. Charles w.
Seabright, of Wheeling, arrived in
the city yesterday and remained un-
til this afternoon when they left for
Parkersburg for a visit with rela.
tives and friends.
Mr.. Seabright has warm place
in his heart for 1.-The only city," and
this feeling is certainly reciprocal
one with our citizens who vie with
each other in giving the distin-
guished Wheeling gentleman cor
dial entertainment whenever he
comes to the city. The ex-mayor
was married here to Miss Belle Cal
lahan over forty years ago, and this
fact sort of intensifes his interest
in our progress and welfare.
His career exemplifes the posi-
bilities of life under our grand form
of government. He came to this
country from Germany fifty years
ago, and by indomitable energy
and foresight has attained proud
position in the city of his adoption
and throughout the state. He IS
an unique figure in many ways, but
is immensely popular with his
townspeople irrespective of partisan
standing and when elected mayor
he reversed a normally large re-
publican majority. He is credited
with having given Wheeling more
beneficial legislation during his
term of Office than she ever received
from any one incumbent.
Many of his friends are urging
Mr.. Seabright to enter the field
again as a candidate for the mayor
atty, but he has not yet decided to
do so.

It looks as if the Cubans were
learning the lessons necessary to
fit them for participation of a re-
publican form of government very
rapidly. Nearly every able bodied
man on the island wants an Of
fee, and wants it so bad that if one
of the plans to be offered for the
future government of their country
does notpromise to provided a place
for him, he will support some other.
1t will take some years before the
people are fully prepared for self
government. They have been in
practical bondage for long time,
and it will take a long time for
them to adapt themselves fully and
successfully to the change. In the
meantime the United States will be
busy keeping peace there, and
teaching the people the lessons of
liberty.

In this respect the Review leads, as
it is the only job Office in the whole
state of West Virginia that has
such a press. OF course, the small
Job offices in Wheeling. Parkers-

have Pony printing presses, but
they are all of them old style, and

to do printing quickly and cheaply

quicker, better and cheaper than

no difference where it is located.

The Oil City Derrick's report of
completed and drilling wells for o.
tober is out. The report shows
that 533 wells were completed for
the month of October in the Penn
sylvania fields, which includes
West Virginia an increase of So
new wells and decrease in new
production of 1,I7I barrels.
Ia commenting on the report, the
Derrick says: During October,
oI7 wells were completed in the
fields producing Pennsylvania and
Trenton Rock oils, including 1873
dry holes, while the new production
was 1922 barrels. This was an
increase of 50 wells and decline
of 81 barrels production from the
record of September"
The pipe line reports for the
month of October will show that
the stocks of Pennsylvania and
Trenton rock oil have been reduced
over 8oo,oo barrels. The next
three months the shipments will be
very much increased and the bad
weather will retard developments
and there must be change soon
or there will be a mighty big
change in the price of oil. Every
thing looks favorable for further
advances In prices.
