A LEGEND OF ST. NICHOLAS.

Tho Punishment of the Father Who Did
 Not Fulfil His Promise.
 A certain man, who was very de- sirous of having an heir to his estate, vowed that, if his prayer were granted, the first time he took his son to church he would offer cup of gold on the altar of St. Nicholas. A son was granted, and the father ordered the cup of gold to be prepared; but when 1t was finished, it was so wonderfully beautiful that he resolved to keep it for himself, and caused a silver one of less value to be made for the saint.
 After some time, the man went on a Journey to accomplish his VOW; and, being on the way, he ordered his little son 10 bring him water in the golden cup he had appropriated, but in doing so the child fell into the wat CT, and was drowned.
 Then the unhappy father Iamented himself. and wept, and repented Of his great sin. And, repairing to the church of St Nicholas, he offered up the silver cup; but 1t fell from the al- tar; and Q second and third time it fell; and while they looked on as- tonished, behold! the drowned boy ap- peared before them, and stood on the steps of the altar, bearing the golden cup in his hand. He related how the good St. Nicholas had preserved him alive, and brought him there. The father, full of gratitude, offered up both the cups, and returned home with his son in joy and thanksgiving Jameson's Sacred and Legendary Art. {"

That is an excellent expression of Stephen Grellet's: You have been starched, but not washed Anything to avoid the washing process! The main thing is to get the starched ef- feet! Now the divine method goes deeper; it begins with the washing Religion never polishes up an old cor- rupt life; it does not simply put stiffen- ing into our soiled lives. It cIeanses it purifes. 1t whitens. The American Friend

The Two Kinds of seIf-Ben1aI.


 The Two Kinds of SeIf-Ben1aI.
 All life is system of self-denial. The wicked man denies himself as much as the most conscientious Chris tian. The difference is in the kinds of things toward which the self-denial is applied Daniel denied himself the wine and highly seasoned meats of the kings court in order that he might keep his head clear and his body strong and vigorous. Belshazzar, on the other hand, denied himself clear head in or- der that he might have the present pleasures of wine-drinking. Daniel could not get along without prayer and reyerent worship toward God, but hs could get along without drunkenness. BeIshazzar could not do without his sprees, but he could do without the prayer-meeting. The difference in des- tiny of the two men, the one coming to old age in honor and nobility, and the other going down in a drunken reyel, was the logical outcome of the several paths of Z f-deniaI they had been pursuing their youth.-Dr. L. A. Banks.

MINES AND MINING
Copper Stocks Show a Slight
Improvement.
HIGHER PRICES FOR COPPER
America Holds the Key to the Copper
Situation Mining News
of the West.
HIGHER PRICES FOR COPPER

There were no favorites in the copper
stocks on the Boston Stock Exchange
today, Parrot being the special strong
feature after a week or more OF doubtful
spurts, showing the manipulation OF the
Lawson clique. The sensational feature
of coppers yesterday was the decline OF
Boston & Montana to $ 345. There were
no sales at that price, however, al
though a few orders were placed by Butte
parties at $3.50. Today the stock again
doomed upward rising to $3.50 and clos
ing strong at that figure.
Butte & Boston also exhibited consid-
cradle strength, closing last evening at
sS5 and after a brisk trading closing to-
day at $SSH.
Parrot is the prime favorite in Butte,
the marginal investors being numerous
It is safe to say that 5000 shares of. Par
rot are held b y spectators here on mar
gins alone, while others have purchased
the stock outright. Buying orders have
been sent to Boston every day for the
past two weeks, in the belief that the
stock will reach SIS in the near future,
and the confidence of the mining men of
Butte in the property has not been shak-
en- by the manipulatIons of the Boston
brokers. Closing at $4ata 1t opened at
Sit this morning and presumably be-
cause of the large purchases by Butte
people moved up to $45R, the closing quo
tatiOn.
Utah Con, lowered, around the $40
mark all day. This is considered a good
purchase at this figure by spectators.
The opinion is held in financial circles
In Boston and New York that another
upward movement in copper shares will
shortly develop. Stocks are we'll held,
and with easier money Specu1ativa Sonti-
ment will revive as the statistical posi-
ton of the metal remains favorable.
In Europe different views are taken as
to the future course of the copper mar
ket, but it is agreed that America holds
the key to the situation and if trade in
the United States continues good, which
seems practically certain, the supplies
from America during the next three
months will be insufficient for foreign re-
quirements, and prices must advance con-
siderably higher, until such time as in
creased supplies come forward from other
quarters, of which there is no immediate
prospect. Consumers now huving enor-
nous onward contracts to complete, are
feeling uncomfortable, and fears are en-
tertalned that a very large inroad will
have to be made on Chile bars mex
month.
In this country the situation remain
practically unchanged. No new produc-
ing mines have been opened up during
the year. The mines of the Butte dis
trict are making no special effort to in
crease their output. although 1t is posi-
BILE that some of them could do so without
Inconvenience. 1t is likely that the Ana
conda will show a slight falling off in
production this year., while the produce
ton of the Boston & Montana will be
materially increased by the opening up
of new ore bodies.

THE BOOM IN COPPER.

Copper mining promoters from Michi-
gan have not now a monopoly of Boston
hotels. Men with copper mines from
Alaska almost to Patagonia are now
daily arriving in Boston with samples,
and such stories of possible wealth as
quite put Michigan in the shade, says the
Boston News Bureau.
Gold mines are not in it now with cop
per mines; and not alone in Utah, but in
many other places, the gold mines are
aklng on a p complexion. Recent
advices are that the Knob Hill and Old
1ronsides, located in Greenwood camp, b.
c., which were offered in Boston in 1894
for $40, 900 and $35, 900, are now worth al
together So, 500, 900. These two mines were
originally opened for gold, but later We're
found to be exceptionally rich in copper.
Now a 1,000-ton smelter is being put up
to work a copper vein 500 feet wide,
which must rival the Boston & Montana
and the Anaconda. In Wyoming gold
mining is given away to copper mining,
and several copper properties therefron
are promised.
More than one ppe property from
Arizona is promised in the Boston mar
ket, and from Alaska come tidings of
more than one vein of copper to make
millions for it's developers.

LYNCH|NCS
A C0rOner''S Jury's Remark
able Verdict.
EXCITEMENT NOT OVER
Three More Negro Bodies Have Been
Found Suspended From Trees
MAY be Trouble.

Texarkana. March 24.-Details of the
wholesale lynchings reported to have oc-
CURED in Little River county, Ark. are
slow in coming in. Three more dead ne
groes have been found in the Red river
bottoms near Rocky Comfort. Ark. Two
of them, Joe King and Moses Jones, were
hanged and shot to death. The third
body was stripped entirely naked when
found.
A Justice of the peace held an inquest
over these bodies today, and a verdict
was rendered by the jury declaring the
men ''camc to their deaths from natural
causes or were frozen to death The
verdict is regarded as a gruesome joke.
There is some doubt as to where these
lynchings occurred, it being near the
state line, and was either in Little River
county. Ark, or in Bowie county, Texas.
The inquest was held by a Texas justice
of the peace.
Joe King was one of the negroes who
was whipped by a crowd of whites on
Wednesday near Comfort. Just after the
lynching of Duckett, a constable went to
King and told him Ducket has been
lynched for the assassination of a farmer
at Stockton. King replied that he knew
all about the Stockton killing, and said
the farmer ought to AVE been killed
sooner, and also minated that others
would be killed before the matter was
settled. A crowd of indignant whites had
him in charge and took him to the woods
where ho was thoroughly whipped and
released. 1t is not known where or by
whom he afterwards was strung up, but
he no doubt fell into the hands of one of
the lynching parties that We're organized
after the plots of negroes to start the
race war was u~nearthed.
Many sensational reports are reaching
here today from the scene of the disturb
ance, but very little authentic informal
ton is gathered. One report t ates thai
the whites are Still out in organized
posses hunting the leaders of the revolu-
tionary plot with the avowed intention
of strlnging them up wherever found. An
other report states that the negroes are
recovering from the panicky terror and
are securing arms and threaten Ven-
goance on the whites. If this proves
true serious trouble may result.
"A colored man who arrived here today
from Winton says every negro in the
nelghborhood of Rocky Comfort and
Richmond has left home and is afraid
to return.

SAID TO BE RICH.

The Crowned King mine. near Prescott,
Ariz., is causing great excitement in that
region, owing to the alleged rich discov-
cries of gold made at the 500-foot level,
some of the gold being said to assay as
high as $100, 900 a ton. Thu mine is an old
one, and has been worked for years, but
a curious feature of the strike is the
abrupt change of the ore from the most
basic of iron pyrites to free gold. In this
region nearly all mines are free milling
on the surface, where oXidization has oc-
Cured, but below this is almost invar-
iably encountered sulphides In quantity
that forbids reduction by the old-fash-
toned stamp mill.

IN REPUBLIC.

In Republic camp the event of the past
week was the starting up of the air COM
pressor and drills on the Mountain Lion
Saturday morning. The original plan
was to have a 14-drin plant, but as so
large a plant was deemed not necessary
for a beginning, plans were drawn for
n of hat size, and the building was
constructed with that end in view, and
the foundation was also laid for it, but
only one-half was ordered, or one with
a seven-drill capacity. Everything is so
arranged that the other half can be put
in place in a brief space of time when
such shall be come necessary.
