THE MAXI CUTTING.
IT is BEING AIRED IN JUDGE HAIR.
RINGTON'S COURT THIS
AFTERNOON.

The preliminary hearing in the case of
the State VS.. Jacob Mkt and Jacob Jen-
iksela is in progress in Judge H%arring-
tons court this afternoon. The men are
charged with assault in the second de-
gree. One of them, presumably Jenik-
sela, stabbed Con Maxi.
The cutting occurred on the 22d of De-
cember. The two Makis, who are not
related to each other, with Jeniksela and
several other Fins, were playing poker in
the early morning in the Golden Gate sa-
loon, at No. 800 East Park street. They
had been drinking considerably during
the evening and Jeniksela was irritable.
Finally Jeniksela declared his intention
of winning a certain Jackpot. The cards
were dealt out and Con Maxi opened the
pot n won it. This made Jeniksela
very angry. He sprang to his feet and
threw his cards in Con Maki's face. A
general fight followed and when the po-
lice came in they found Con MAXI on the
floor, with three ugly cuts in his leg and
groin, from which he had tainted from
loss of blood.
Jeniksela and Jacob Maxi were arrest
ed, as they were known to have been Con
Makis assailants. Jeniksela claims Max
tried to cut him and he acted in self-de-
tense.
The examination was not concluded
when the Inter Mountain went to press.

THE COPPER MARKEC {.

Engineering and Mining Journal: 1t
has been our custom to give the average
price of m~etals-copper, tin, lead and
spelter-in our table on the last Saturday
in each month. This has, without excep-
ton for many months, been the true ay-
rag for the entire month. For January
the average was given on the 2Sth, but
the extraordinary and rapid rise in the
last three days of the month made a new
calculation necessary for copper and tin.
The corrected averages are given in the
table this week.
The market continues to be very strong.
Manufacturer report a good business do
ing at the higher prices and they are buy
ing freely. Producers generally are we'll
sold ahead, and for early deliveries they
appear to be sold out entirely. Prices this
week lave changed but slightly and Lake
copper is held for 17aG1SAc.; electricity
tic copper in cakes, wirebars and ingots
for 17M17hc.; catholics for 1914 M17c.;
with casting copper held nOminally for
lie.
We hear, on good authority, that the
production of the Anaconda mines, which
fell off somewhat in December, in Janu-
airy reached q total of only $500, 600
pounds of "copper", or not much over half
the usual monthly output. Manager DAILY
is reported to be taking steps to increase
the production of ore from the mines.
The London market at the beginning of
the week opened at e72 5s., subsequently
went up to G73, but under persistent sell
ing gave way to Ell Is. Cd. At the lower
prices general buying developed, and the
market quickly advanced to e73 5s.,
which is the closing figure. For refine
and manufactured we quote: English
tough, G77@7S; best selected. ST. 10s.@
e7S los: strong sheets, GS7; India sheets,

garter-must not be forgotten. In
pairs for real use, singly, in yellow, for
luck, the garter is perennial. This year
it is most gorgeous, being covered with
puffings of chiffon or ribbon in Easter
colors and further decorated with bows
composed of chiffon, satin ribbon an
inch or more wide, baby ribbon in sa-
tin or velvet and narrow lace, the
latter also being intermingled.
Buckles are also added to many of
the bows, with puffings covering the
elastic. This sounds elaborate, and
the garter thus decorated looks it, but
short study of the arrangement AID
bit of mental arithmetic proves that
the method is really simple, the ex-
pense inconsiderable, and the effect
fiat contradiction of both deductions.
The single garter is presented for
luck. 1t will call Cupid to aid the
spinster, young or old, in attaining
within the year that "other half" ever
and eagerly expected. Three condi-
lions are necessary, however. 1t must
be yellow, it must be worn on the left
leg and it must be-well, the third con-
dition is only traditional, anyway land
is better not mentioned.
Aluminium is made up into all sorts
of boxes, trays, cups, baskets, crosses,
frames, etc., and these may be prettily
hand painted. Sheets of aluminium,
like those of celluloid, may be cut in
to cards, bookmarks, crosses and other
articles and similarly decorated.
A rich-looking gift, costing really
very little, is a work bag of brocaded

A souvenir book for the use of the

holes. In one end of each of two sec
lions of heavy water color paper cut
half an inch larger each way than
the cards, punch two corresponding
holes, lay the cards between these COW
ers and fasten all of the parts together
with ribbon drawn through the holes
and tied in a pretty bow. On the front
cover paste photograph of some To-
cality in which there is mutual inter
est or make a pretty wash drawing of
some familiar spot. Underneath des-
ignate the purpose of the book by the
inscription: Camera Gems" or Sum

or something equally appropriate. The
possessor of a camera will greatly ap-
preciate such a gift, especially if on the
cards are or can be mounted some Of
his oc her own pet work.

CHAPTER X.

Philip knew that now his only
chance was to remain with the vessel,
and attempt to save himself upon some
fragment of the wreck. That the ship
would long hold together he felt was
impossible; already she had parted her
upper decks, and each shock of the
waves divided her more and more.
At last, as he chung to the mast, he
heard a noise abaft, and he then rec
objected that Mynheer Won Stroom was
still in his cabin. Philip crawled aft,
and found that the poop ladder had
been thrown against the cabin door,
so as to prevent its being opened. He
removed it, and entered the cabin,
where he found Mynheer Won Stroom
clinging to windward with the grasp
of death-but it was not death, but the
paralysis of fear. He spoke to him,
but could obtain no reply; he attempt
ed to move him, but it was impossi-
BILE to make him let go the part Of
the bulkhead that he grasped. A loud
noise and the rush of a mass OF wa
ter told Philip that the vessel had
parted amidships, and he unwillingly
abandoned the poor supercargo to KS
fate and went out of the cabin door.
At the after hatchway he observed
something struggling-it was Johannes
the bear, who was swimming, but still
fastened by a cord which prevented his
escape. Philip took out his knife and
released the poor animal, and hardly
had he done this act Of kindness when
a heavy sea turned over the after part
os the vessel. which separated in many
places, and Philip found himself
struggling in the waves. He seized
upon a part of the deck which sup
ported him, and was borne away by

Ethel, looking puzzled.
Eyes. She spends her life in acts Of

they need her."

they are in distress. A Sister of Mer-

"a mark SO people will know it?"'
y ooh, yes" said Miss Mary, laughing,
y"if you insist upon a mark, you can
wear badge on your sleeve. 1 can
easily make one for you"
On Easter morning Ethel put on the
badge which Miss Mary had made for
her of beautiful white ribbon. AS she
returned from church she found bird
with broken leg, which she BAN
daged. Then she put the little invalid
in box, which Tom called the hos
pital. Easter Monday her first act
of mercy was to carry a dinner to
old Uncle Ebenezer, who was cripple
from rheumatism. He had been her
grandfather's slave, and now lived with
her father at the old homestead, the
Naples.
Look here, Uncle Ebby," said she,
pointing to her shoulder. you can't
guess. what that is, can you?"

sorbed in his dinner. as you gwine

woman ut the wharf; but I'm going to
help everybody here. I'm going to
help Aunt Melindy feed the chickens,
and now 1 will help you serspe lint
for yodr lame foot"

While Uncle Ebby was eating, Ethel
filled q basket with lint and set it on
the chimney shelf.
NOW, Uncle Ebby, listen to me-"
said Ethel, when you are sick in bed
you mustn't call Jake or 'Tildy or any
OF your grandchildren. I'm to do the
nursing on this plantation, and l want
to call Jake and make him tie string
to your bedpost, and the other end to
my bedpost, SO that you can ring bell
right over my head when you are SICK.
You understands
Jake! Jakew called Ethel. Jake
came when called, and after many
trials arranged an unsightly contriv-
ance, so that the pulling of the string
did ring a bell just over Ethels bed.
Her brother Tom ridiculed it, but
mamma said Sisters of Mercy must be
patient under ridicule.
Every night Ethel hung her cloak
near her bedside, ready to rush out
at the sound of the bell. One night
Tom played a practical joke by ring
ing the bell, but papa's sharp repri-
mand prevented a repetition Of his
mischief.
Suddenly one night the bell did ring,
long and loud. Ethel jumped out of
bed and in q few minutes stood at
Uncle Ebby's bedside. The moonlight
fell on the black face and white head.
Shaking his arm with all her might,
she called out, uncle Ebby, wake up"
The old man opened his eyes and
sat up in bed.
Didn't you ring the bell? What is
the matter?"
"Nuthin' tall" said Uncle Ebby, at
last recognizing the little sister.
Suddenly Ethel turned and perceived
curl of smoke in the corner OF the
cabin.
whats that, Uncle Ebby? Look!
Look!'
"Sump'n a-fiah, sho'"
And so it was. Uncle Ebby screamed
for help. Black and white rushed to
the rescue. Jake and the other men
led the cattle out Of danger. and the
mystery of the bell was solved When
old Brindle's horns were seen strug-
Cling with the string, which, in order
to reach up to Ethel's chamber, had
been passed through the cow shed. The
smoke had driven her to the open door,
and in making her way she had caught
her horns in the string. Fortunately
nothing was burned except the corner
of the shed.
Next morning at breakfast Tom,
who had been very brave in putting
out the fire, said, well, Ethel, which
is the Sister of Mercy, you or old Brin-
dle?"
But papa said, eff she had not been
Sister of Mercy, there is no telling
vHlat a fire we might have had, and
perhaps poor old Uncle Ebby would
have been burned in his bed. Ethel's
Easter resolution was noble one, and
1 hope it will last until next Easter"

Unusually Sympathetic Voice.
AS to the sultan's working habits, !
have known him to be at work at five
in the morning and keep whole staff
of secretaries going at that hour who
had slept overnight on couches in the
rooms in the palace they habitually
work in, says Harper's Magazine.

ter of ceremonies, and one of the most
kindly, distinguished men it is posi-

which conveys a constant lesson to us
all; it is his extraordinary self-control
his impressive calm. 1t is almost
sublime. No contrariety, no trial,
seems able to rufle his perfect self
possession. 1t is truly marvellous.
The prepossessing impression which
the sultan is universally admitted to
produce CT those who are privileged
to come into contact with him is
doubtless in part due to that charm Of
manner, that quiet dignity, so free
from angular self-assertion, which is
more or less characteristic of all we'll
bred Turks. But in his case it is sup
plemented by pleasing smile and an
unusually sympathetic voice, the notes
of which always seem to convey a
pleasant impression, even to the
stranger who is unable to understand
what his majesty has said until it is
translated by the interpreter. The
sultan usually gives audiences on FRI
day after the ceremony of the Selam-
Xix. when he wears a Turkish gen.

Imtiaz order in brilliants hung from
his neck. AS he sits in front of you.

GIFT-GIvING AT EASTER.

Practice Still Prevails and Very
Pretty Custom.
The old habit Of gift-giving at Easter
is still alive and it is the correct thing
that such gifts should be made by the
hands of the donor. Some of these are
pretty and comparatively inexpen-
sive.
Book and magazine covers made OF
water color paper or art linen are
among the pretty and useful gifts. a
cover for a dictionary will serve as
model. 1t was made Of white water
color paper of light grade and used
on a pepper covered edition that was
about five inches wide by six long. The
paper was first fitted to the covers OF
the dictionary and folded and creased
so that the surface to be decorated YVES
| plainly indicated. On one side was
painted a full cluster Of forget-me-
nots. On the other was a smaller
| spray, which occupied two-thirds OF
| the space; the remaining third-just
| in front of the back-waS tinted del
icate gray, on which, in gilt, in fancy
lettering, was the word Dictionary"
| Then the cover was again folded over
the volume and this time secured
with mucilage or photographers paste.
Violets or any other blossom pre-
| ferred could be used in place of the
forget-me-nots as decoration. When
| linen is used in making book or maya
zine covers embroidery is better, more
satisfactory condition than painting.
Book marks are favorite Easter gifts
and generally hand painted on water
color paper, celluloid or ribbon. A
pretty one of the first material is COM
posed of two strips of the paper cut
exactly alike-about an inch and three
quarters wide and five long. On the
center of the under one is dainty lit
tie wash drawing; in the center OF the
upper one is cut an oblong opening to
fit the drawing, and on the uncut sur
face is delicately painted a bit of red
and yellow foliage, such as appears in
early spring on some varieties Of trees
and shrubs. From between the ends
of the pasted strips extend bits OF
fringed ribbon in either of the Easter
colors-white, yellow or lavender.

Wonderful Easter Hats.

An inquisitive person in New York
city has been examining the Easter
hats, and she says the women of that
city spend 100000 each Easter for
hats. AS for this years variety, she
says:
81 give you my word some Of them
measured two by three feet. If size is
what you are looking for, you will find
it in the April extravaganza-and you
will pay for it. In fact. the hat seems
to be in direct ratio to its traditional
bill. Humility has way of showing
itself in bushes that cost $14 a bunch.
Clever French roses they are. with
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1899-03-31

such a natural look that the Fifth
avenue bee pauses to sip Of their
painted honey. The price Of single
hat, to be really swell, must be at least
$35. After that, anywhere into the
hundreds. Fifty dollars is by no means
an uncommon price for New York
woman to pay for hat that takes her
fancy.

piano practice, and asked SO many
questions that an old sea captain who
lived near her home gave her the name
of Little Conundrum.
Some days before Easter she went
with her governess into the city, and
saw a woman attired in black gown,
a black bonnet and black veil. Inside
tx bonnet she wore a closely fitting
not at all like widows cap.
"Ohw exclaimed Ethel, seizing the
