The county attorney filed a complaint
to-day charging George York, Is years
old, with vagrancy and incorrigibility.
The document sets forth that Ellen York,
the boys surviving parent, is unable to
control his actions because of his Wei
GUS and hayward dispositions; hat he
wander about the streets late at night
and lodges in barns, sheds and other
places without the permission of the
owners; that he visits places of questio-
nable resort and INDUCES in habits that
are bad and pernicious.
In the matter of the suit of the Washoe
Copper company against Edward Hickey,
NJ. A.. Hickey, John NJ. Stewart, F. A.
Reinze and Arthur p. Heinze, an affidavit
was filed in court today by George w.
in behalf of the defendants, and on
the strength of Mr.. Towers allegations
Judge Lindsay issued an order directing
the plaintiffs representatives to appear
in court on the 9th at 10 o'clock and
cause, If any they have, why the
restraining order issued in the case a few
weeks ago should not be dissolved so far
as it restraints the defendants from min

drawn parallel to the east end line of the
Nipper and through a point on the south
side line of this claim 100 feet west of the
Intersection of the south side line with
the west end line of the Anaconda claim
and extended in it's own direction south
ward from the Oden claim.
In his affidavit Mr.. Tower says he is a
geologist and as such has examined the
workings in controversy and it is his
opinion that the ore body disclosed in
the raise made by the plaintiff near or
along the west end line of the Anaconda
claim is upon the hanging wall proper of
the vein; that is, that the ore occurrence
exposed in said raise and in the drifts
to the west is a deposition in a hanging
wall, crack or assure, and that the vein
proper is found to the north of the same

ARTIFICIAL EYES.

Tucked away in quaint old-world cor
ners we find some of the most odd
personages. Such is the great arti-
fetal eye maker and painter, A. Muller
Hyper. In quaint Lauscha, in the
very heart Of old Thuringens dense
forests and high mountains, he sits
and works away day in and day out,
surrounded by his family, the male
members Of which are all experts in
this delicate work, and have been such
since the days of his great-grand-
father, who first started the work at
Paris, but who, owing to the strong
anti-German feeling, was forced to re-
turn to his native mountain land.
They have grown rich, but lead simply
quiet lives. While the writer sat in
front Of Mr.. Hyper he deity mixed
different colored glasses over his gas
lamp and within a half hour brought
forth perfect reproduction, in every
thing but real sight, of the writer's
eye. Every year thousands OF eyes
made by this old-world family, find
their way to America.-LesIie'
Weekly.

BIG BOARD BILL FOR ARMY.
In Past Year 1t Has Cost $25, 100000
to Feed Our Soldiers.

From June 80, 1898, to June 80, 1899,
the cost Of feeding the United States
army regulars and volunteers was more
than $25,O00,00O This is the largest
yearly BOARD bill presented to the
treasury for the army since the civil
war.
Congress was called on to make no
less than five different appropriations
for the subsistence of the army during
1899. The first allotment came in the
deficiency act, which gave the commits
sary-general $2,73S,643, and in a short
time after this was available S. 900 900
was provided in the war appropriation
act Of June 8, 1898. In less than a
month another big lump of money was
given to this department, SIS, 1867 ,113
being furnished by the war appropria-
ton act of July T. Two more allot-
ments were made later on of S., 260, 225,
making the total sum placed at the dis
posal of the commissary-gener last
year more than $28,000,000.
When the books of the department
were balanced up a couple of weeks ago
it was found that practically all Of this
vast amount of money had been ex-
pended. The ledgers showed balance
of about s5,000,000, but there are a
number of charges still outstanding
against the commissary department.
which, it is thought, will absorb this
entire sum. Owing to the fact that the
various vouchers have not all been
settled it is impossible to determine at
this time the exact amount Of the in
debtedness, but it is so great that Off
GERS on duty at the department say that
practically no money will be turned
back into the treasury.
''The American soldier is now get
ting articles of food which were never
before issued to him except at certain
periods in the war with SPAIN" said
Commissary-Gene Weston "In ad-
ditlon to their regular fare, which is
varied and wholesome, ice is issued
regularly. Every company in Manila
gets 100 pounds of ice a day, and where
it is practicable to furnish it they also
get milk, butter and eggs. We are
getting no complaints, and everything
is satisfactory so far as we know. A
number Of reports have come in from
officers in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines which state that there is no
grumbling among the men on account
of food. If the soldiers had any COM
| plants to make we would soon hear Of
it through the newspapers"
| 1t has been eight or ten months now
since the experiment of employing
cooks in the army was inaugurated. 1t
may be remarked that few of the old
| regular officers approve of this plan.
| General Weston has the utmost con-
| tempt for it, and says that such at
| taches are unnecessary. He declares
| he never saw a regular regiment that
needed a professional cook, and seemed
to think that there was no room for
them in the army Other officers are
useful for service with volunteer regi-
ments where the men are not accus-
toned TO roughing it.

It is said that the prince of Wales, who
is stanch believer in the silk hat, has
a considerable hand in the matter. But
whether that be so or not. the prince
is undoubtedly responsible for the
almost impregnable position this
article occupies in our wardrobes. Ac-
cording to a London morning paper
the silk hat is losing ground. With a
frock coat it is de rigeur the world
over with all who make the slightest
pretence of knowing what to wear"
says the writer of the article. But in
no city, perhaps, is the doom Of the
silk hat more patent than in London.
Twenty, nay, ten years ago, who but
a vulgar clodhopper would dare wear a
bowler in Bond street, or the park?
What city man, to say nothing of a
city clerk, would have dreamed Of go
ing to his Office except in the regula-
ton headgear? What fellow from the
country-more especially if he wanted
to be taken for a cockney-Would have
come for few days holiday to Lon
don withut his silk hat? The shape or
style, or cut did not matter. To his
impractical eye he saw no difference;
the fact that he had a silk hat on was
sufficient for him. But all that has
changed. The silk hat is fast losing
its hold in other parts Of London, as
it did many years ago in Fleet street,
the one great thoroughfare where
headgear is Of no account, where even
a poetical species of hat is affected by
some, a veritable sombrero Of sunny
Seville, which for some unfathOmable
reason Londoners speak of sombrero
hat as though sombrero itself meant
something else.
But in spite of all this the silk hat
still goes a long way to mark a man.
The silk hat Of the swell-the man
about towns not the silk hat of the
city merchant; we have cabinet
minister's silk hat, a clerical silk hat,

by their condition, but more often by
their shape, to what class Of persons

HATS IN ENGLAND.
Marked Changes That Have Recently
Taken Place in London.

# the question were asked of every
WeaTer Of a silk hat, eff comfort were
the only question to be considered
would you prefer to wear a felt or a
silk hat?" we do not doubt that, with
out exception, the answer would be
that fashion DEGREES that silk hats
must be worn by all men who wish to
look well dressed, and the dictates Of
fashion must be obeyed, notwithstand-
ing the extra comfort gained by wear
ing a hard or soft felt. While fashion
rules thus, the hat trade benefits all
around. A man wearing a silk hat
when on business. at social functions,
or on Sunday, naturally reverts to a
felt hat on other occasions. As hat

much wear by being exposed to light

GENERAL KING AND THE WOLVES

Twenty years ago one Of the most
popular visitors at F'rontenac, Mimi,
was a slender blond man wearing eye
glasses and walking with slight limp.
He and his lovely, dark-haired wife
and little girl went to this resort sum-
mer after summer. He was General
Charles King, the writer and soldier,
then instructor in military tactics at
the Wisconsin state university. One
summer the general, with a party Of
friends, tented a few hundred yards
back Of the hotel near the bluff.
There were two trains to and from
St. Paul every night, and, as they
broke in upon the stiffness, they woke
the wolves that made the bluff their
home. They were coyotes for the most
part, but among them were some wan
dering gray timber wolves from the
Wisconsin woods across the river.
