THE volunteers who were sent to the Philippines got hold of the laboring end of the oar in our late war, and will not be permitted to turn it loose for some months yet. They can console them selves with the reflection, however, that their country is proud of them and will put the fatted calf to the slaughter for them when they come marching home.

The l0.stamp mill on the gold mine Turning Poing"-near Casa Grande, has been shut down and most of the working force discharged. The owners of the Turning Point, says the Star, seen, to be particularly unfortunate, KS this is the second mill that has been put up by them, and both have pro ved failures. The company consists of about twenty St. Louis Germans, and in this last venture they spared no money nor pains to have the most complete plant that could be purchased. About $40 ,0000 has been expended on it. The mill consists of ten l000.p pound stamps and two Frue vanners of the latest make, engines and buildings complete, but ore is barren, hence the shut down. This is the history ot too many mining ventures throughout the entire west. If men with money seeking to invest in ming, would satisfy themselves beyond a possibility of doubt that the rock was mineral bearing, and of sufficient rich-- ness and quantity to justify the build ing of houses and purchase of expensive machinery, then when they were ready to begin operations in earnest, they would not be forced to close down their mills because of "barren" ore, and the mining industry of the country would not receive a backset because of their incompetency. Get the mine first ard then erect youl mills. Ii this is done there will De fewer failures and forced closedowns.

MILK CHARITY VICTORIOUS
Mayor Van Wyck's Objections Ridden
Over Rough Shod.

New York, June 1.-THE metropolis
IS growing more charitable; not that it
hasn't been very liberal in the past, but
1T is growing more so, and this to the
infinite joy of thousands. Milk booths
and free baths are to be provided lib
orally, and the authorities today started
movement by which $500, 900 is to be
devoted to providing free public baths
and a prOportionate amount was set
aside for the erection of sterilized milk
booths in the breathing spots.
The extension Of these noble charities
should result in great good. Philan-
thropist Nathan Straus, in the latter
case, gained a signal victory over the
little Tammany mayor, who has, for
some reason known only to himself,
opposed the philanthropy. The first
free milk booths for the parks are to
be erected in Central Park and TOmp-
Axins square, where Philanthropist Straus
can crafty his long cherished desire
during the hot months. Strange to say,
the appropriation of $500, ,O0OO for free
baths, to remain open the year round
is favored by Mayor Van Wyck. Prob
ably he came to his senses after his OBJ
1ections to the free milk booths had
been ridden over roughshod. The plans
will do the most good, in the most
thickly populated sections of the bor-
oughs of Manhattan. Brooklyn the
Bronx and Queens and Richmond coun-
ties The original idea was to add to
the number of existing floating baths.
but the commissioners reached the con-
clusion that a better plan would be to
build permanent baths, to be used all
the year around.

ELECTRICAL HEADLIGHTS.
Rock Island Officials Making Test at
Chicago.

Chicago, June 14.-Some interesting
experiments with electrical headlights
have been in progress on the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad for
the last two or three weeks and are
still being prosecuted. officials believing
that electricity is the coming head
light. The road now has % locomotives
equipped with powerful electric head
lights. After the first had been in
stalled the question arose whether the
intensity of the glare from the locomo-
tive front would interfere with the eff
f1ciency Of the white and green lights
carried on the front end of the engine
to indicate the character of the train
approaching or that a second section
was following, signals which are very
important in the working of a road up
on which the traffic is heavy and the
trains numerous.
To demonstrate the effect of the two
sets of lamps a party of officials of the
road have been taking stations along
the rOadbed on dark nights while a. To-
connective equipped with the electric
lamps made frequent journeys toward
them, each time with a new condition
affecting the headlight. The engine in
every case was backed about two miles
and then started for the observation
station at the highest speed, more than
a mile a minute. The bracket lamps
were tried in their usual positions and
again fixed to arms extending at right
angles to the SmOkebOX and about 20
inches from it. They were moved from
that position, which was about 20 inches
back of the smokestack to point even
with its front. Afterward they were
placed on the pilot beam. The lights
tried were white, red and green. The
experiments do not show much of val
ue as regards the effectiveness of the
different colors, for that was not what
was desired It was demonstrated,
however, that the visibility of the sig
nal lamps could be much improved by
putting them on the pilot beam instead
of on the upper parts of the engine, thus
getting them farther away from the
headlight. and also by attaching to
the headlight an extension hood in the
shape of a tube extending horizontally
in front.

Turkish war came on, and while IT
wasn't much of a war, it was enough to
make the market go against the Topeka
spectators, and they found that their
margin was exhausted. - Logan called
on them for more money, but they fail
ed to respond, relying, they claim, upon
their contract to shield them from fur
ther liability than the $1,000 which they
had put up.
The Chicago firm hung on to the
speculation, and then brought suit to
recover So, 500 from Goodwin & Cham
berlain to REIN burse it, and for 1856 per
month as rental for its leased wire. The
defendants claimed that they did not
rent the wire and could not be held for
more than they had put up to cover
their margins, but the jury in the case
held otherwise and gave Logan the.

Attorney A. A. Hurd at Last
Is Given Credit
For an Effective Document Pre-
pared by Him
TWENTY YEARS AGO.
President Strong Supposedly
the Documents Author.
Interesting Incident In Which
Judge Martin Figures.

A short time ago Judge John Martin,
clerk of the supreme court, presented
to the State Historical society for pres
ervation a number of valuable docu-
ments bearing in various ways on the
early history of the state. Among the
number was a memorial signed by Mr..
William B. Strong, then general man
ager and later president of the Santa
F'e, protesting against the passage of
the Riggs bill by the state legislature
of 1879. The bill was a maximum rate
measure.
In presenting this document to the So
cfety, Judge Martin undoubtedly believ-
ed it to have been the work of Mr..
Strong, as did the legislators to whom
it was presented 20 years ago But as
a matter of fact the former Santa Fe
official did nothing more than read the
memorial, and it was prepared by Mr..
A. A. Hurd, the present Santa Fe at
torney for Kansas.
AT that time Mr.. Hurd was local at
torney for the Santa Fe at Garden City,
but was in Topeka during the session
of the legislature. He prepared the
memorial, setting forth reasons why
railroad rates should not be reduced at
then Kansas attorney Of the road. To
increase it's Importance it was decided
that it should bear the signature of the
general manager of the road, and in
CnlS way MT. SITOnS name appeared
at it's conclusion.
Mr.. Hurds work in the preparation
of the memorial proved effective, and
the Riggs bill was defeated. Mr.. Strong
received credit for the work, for out
side of the author and Mr.. Burns no
one knew that the general manager
had not prepared it,
There is a joke connected with its
presentation to the society by Judge
Martin, and it lies in the fact that for
several years Judge Martin and Mr..
Hurd have been at loggerheads. For
this reason. had the clerk of the su-
preme court known that the document
was the work of a personal enemy he
would probably not have been anxious
. to see it preserved among the archives
