TO be the head of family of l62 per-

Chandler, who resides in Allen county,
Ky. This gentleman is the father OF
twcnty-nine children, twCnty-One of whom
are now living and have families. THESE
twenty-one children have an average Of
five children to each family, thus maxi
ing Mr. Chandler the grandfather Of 105

of his offspring, for he has thlrty-tive

that Mr.. Chandler stand paterfamllias of

Is considered that the members Of this

Bishop Potter on the Saloon Question

The recent remark Of Bishop Potter
that Christian people are to blame
for the existence Of the saloon be-
cause they have failed to provide an
innocent substitute has provoked, as
no doubt the bishop intended. an an
imated discussion. Stickers for min
isterial tradition, followers of the com
ventional. have professed To find
cause for horror in his remark that
as matters stand the saloon is the poor
mans club, the one refuge which mod
ern society offers to the majority of
men of limited means. but of natural
Instinct for association and genial in
tercoursc. BY these the good bishop
has been Justify belabored. But on
the other hand he has rallied to his
defense a host OF men who recognize
the glimmer of truth i'm his words and
are eager to try practical methods of
competing against the saloon for the
favor of it's patrons for purposes of
philanthrophy.
The bishops plan, in advocacy of
which he provoked this controversy,
is to establish in the proximity OF
saloons institutions similar to the cof-
fee houses of England. We do not
know whether he favors the sale in
these TEMPERANCE inns of mild wines
and beer under u supervision which
would effectually guard against their
abuse; probably. not. The hulabaloo
recently raised over Princeton inn,
which had the practical result of stop
ping a prudent and judiCious sale Of
liquor in favor of its indiscriminate
sale under the least possible restraint,
would doubtless he sufficient to warn
a chuChman of the bishops eminence
not to so SO far against the conven-
tiOns. Yet this is the logic of his
plan; the common sense of it, we
might preferably say. Inasmuch as
the problem of temperance, practically
considered, consists of overcoming the
abuse of intoXicants. which is largely
possible, instead of abolishing intOX-
icants. which all human experience
teaches is impossible, there could be no
tenable objection to the establishment
of places for the sale of Intoxicating
beverages Offering the inducements
without the major perils of the or
binary saloon.
At all events, public discussion of the
Bishop Potter idea will do good. There
is danger of reform agencies narrow
ing down into grooves unless they are
occasionally uDheaved in this manner.

The. stock market was in good tone

scored some good gains. Northern

but the stock was active and brought
out some lively bidding. At the close
it remained around 20 cents, but late-
in the day curb sales were reported at
u cents and better.
Daly-West was a strong favorite, and
recorded some marked advances. The
stock sold at S12.75 on the board. but
offers were made considerably better
than that towards the close of bust
ness hours. Daisy was unchanged, it
keeping al about Wednesdays quota

going as high as $5.75, while Four Aces
was weak and lower, closing at 121s bid

Lower Mammoth took a tumble down
the toboggan, and went as low as SO
cents. Those who sold short on the
stock several days ago took advantage
of thRsituation and began to fill The
demand for Mammoth was light, but

that the change was attributed to a

WILL Be BRILLIANT EVENT
WEDDING OF ADMIRAL DEWEY
AND MRS. HAZEN.
The Ceremonies Will Be Performed
Either By Archbishop Keane or
Cardinal Gibbons.

New York, Nov. "A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says: The wedding of Admiral
Dewey and Mrs. Hazen, society says,
will be performed either by Arch
bishop Keane or Cardinal Gibbons.
Some say the wedding will be a bril-
liant private affair; others that it Will
be a brilliant church affair. Z.
Some of Mrs. Hazen's friends say
that in all probability Mrs. Hazen
would prefer to be married at the resi-
dence of her mother. Mrs. WASHINGTON
Mclean, and that ne officiating clergy
man will be Archbishop Keane. for
merly rector of the Catholic university.
Mrs Hazen was received into the
Catholic church by Archbishop Keane
about six years ago. She was raised a
Presbyterian, but was attending ST.
Johns Episcopal church at the time
of her conversion
The general impression is that by
virtue of a dispensation from the pope,
the wedding ceremony will be per-
formed in a church, but whether 1T Is
performed at a private residence the
affair will be as brilliant as the high
position of the admiral and social pres
tige and wealth of Mrs. Hazensead so
ciety to expect.

sTATELINE PROPERTY BONDED.
Rocky Mountain Group Tied Up By
w. E SNYDER.

Willard F. Snyder returned from
Stateline yesterday with the informa-
ton that he had succeeded in securing
lease and bond On the Rocky Noun
tain group of six claims, located about
.three-fourths of a mile north of the
Johnny, for a period of eighteen
months. and before leaving he put men
at work on the ground. The property
belonged to George A Rice and others,
and embraces the first claims on which
mineral was discovered in the Stateline
district, something like five years ago
Mr.. Snyder reports that four lodges
traverse the claims and that some very
sensational values have been secured in
some of them. Over 400 feet of develop
ment work has been done, but Mr.. Sny-
der says it has not been sufficiently
concentrated TO bring out the worth Of
the claims. He proposes TO direct his
efforts to large vein which crops out
along the eastern side of the claims-a
ledge which varies in width from TWEEN
~ TO fifty feet-and says before the
winter IS over he expects to show up a
fine milling proposition. The figure at
which he got hold of the property Mr..
Snyder would not divulge.

SUPPLIES FOR THE ARMY.
Report Made By Commissary of Sub
sistence Department.

Washington. Nov 1.-The subsistence
of the army during the past year. ac-
cording to the annual report of Acting
Commissary General Weston, cost ST.
Goa. 646. These expenditures it should
be stated, however, in addition to those
for the army proper, include computa7
ton of rations to prisoners of war. re-
lief of destitute CubanS, relief of suf-
ferers from overflow of the Mississippi
river and Red river, relief Of people in
the mining region of Alaska. issues to
Indians, etc.
The value of stores lost by accident,
waStage. transportation, etc, during
the year. for which no one was held
responsible, was S1S9441 Supplies lost.
for which responsibility was fixed, was
about $1.S16, nearly all of which has
been collected. There was a large in
crease ove,- previous years in stores
condemned, due to incidents and acct
dents of service during the Spanish
war.
The casualties in the subsistence de-
partment, General Weston says, attest
the efficiency of the department at the
critical points where the services of
its officers are at their maximum value
Allusion is made to the failure of the
army reorganization act of March 3,
1899, to provide for an increase of the
subsistence department commensurate
with the general increase in the army.

A report was received from Bingham
last night stating that very encourag-

property of the Vespasian- Hoogley
Mining company. In the crosscut being
run from the main tunnel a vein Of
attractive looking ore has been encoun-
Tered The vein has been cut into for a
distance of twenty feet, and although
no assay returns have been received.
There is every reason to believe that
the ore carries some good values in
gold.
The officers of the company were not
expecting anything of the kind so soon.
as 1t had been figured that it would be
necessary to go about 200 feet further
10 catch the main ledge. They are at a
loss to know how it is that ore was
encountered so soon, unless the vein is
entirely new one, or else the ore body
towards which the crosscut was direct
ed is larger than anticipated.
