GOOD IMITATION OF SURF.
It Was Only the HOusemaId's Broom
on the Stairs, How
ever.

$50 you have gone out on the north shore
to live, have you, old man?' said North
side young man to friend who had gone
with his family to Kenilworth to spend
the summer, relates the Chicago Chronicle.
eyes, we have taken house for the sum
mer close to the edge of the lake and I tell
you it is bully, immense. 1t is great, for the
old man has improved in health out there
till he is getting as frisky as a schoolboy
He said before we moved that if he could
only get where he could hear the surf when
he woke up mornings that it would do him
a world of good. The first morning after we
got there he woke up about five O'Clock and
called out to mother, who was still asleep:
Say, ma, do you hear that surf coming
in on the shore? Isn't that the grandest
thing you ever heard?'
Ma protested that she didn't hear any
surf and wasn't listening for any. Father
sighed and went to sleep again, lulIed by the
music of what he declared was the surf
The door of his room was open and he sim
ply heard the swish of our little housemaid's
broom over the carpet downstairs. She gets
up early every morning to do the front
rooms and her broom makes the finest imi-
tation of the surf you ever heard.
Now, if pa wakes up when it ism sweep
ing day and kicks because there isn't any
surf, on ma just steps to the speaking tube
in the next room and tells Martha to sweep
up a little surf and father is soon asleep
again"

the Worst Districts OF New York City
q Great Settlement House.

philanthropic step has been taken by
John D. Rockefeller in his decision to
erect at Tenth avenue and Fiftieth
street a fve-story building, to be de-
voted to the educational and social
needs of the poor persons who live
in that neighborhood, which is the
worst in New York. Mr.. Rockefeller,
who is a leading member of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church, has long be-
lieved that much practical good can
be accomplished by the establishment
in ''Helrs Kitchen of an institution
that will give the residents of that Sec
ton of the city an opportunity to find
recreation, and mental as well as
moral improvement, such as may come
from manual training school, a cook
ing school, libraries, club-rooms
baths, a gymnasium and general class
room, which will be available to the
general public. There will also be a
kindergarten and a day nursery.

whose punishment was demanded by

Suits for Destruction of Railroad Property.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Suits against the
city for damages to railroad property
during the strike in 1894, in which
over $2,OOO,O00 is involved, were virtu-
ally decided in the city's favor yester-
day by jury in Judge Hanecy's
court. A verdict of not guilty in the
case of Armour & Co against the city
of Chicago is interpreted by Corpora
ton Counsel Walker to mean that the
litigating companies will not be able
to recover damages for the destruc-
ton of railroad property during the
great strike. Between 40 and so cases
are pending. In one suit the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago & ST. Louis
Railroad company claims $75O,OO for

COPPER IN BoMISGUEz CANON.

fSot Vet" 81 Copper Ore, which
Pays from the q rnss ROOss.

S. A. Boyce and John w. Gallant
came to town last Saturday afternoon
feeling very comfortable over a recent
find OF six foot vein Of copper ore,
which promises to make them q little
fortune. They in company with Messrs-
Col. Peter Miller and J. NJ. Hampton
have been prospecting in the canon for
some time. The vein will average about
six feet in width. The ore 10 copper
pyrites. running in gold. silver and cop
per, and also contains streak OF anne
thyst quartz about eight inches thick.
and which bears nearly the same char
acteristict as the ore which made Creede
camp what it is.
The assay OF the copper pyrites made
by II. A. Dawson, OF Ouray. showed
the following; silver, 196 ounces; gold.
90 ounces; copper, 2o.G0 per cent. Tho
ore was taken from the mine at the
depth Of three feet from the surface, or
in the language OF the miner, it will pay
from the grass roots. Dominguez canon
is located on the opposite side OF the
INcT iIoh LiioscPoit o"itSh, WuiSh -
twenty five miles down the Gunnison
from Delta. and twelve miles from the
Unaweep copper region. The mines
that have bees: .ocated are little over
four miles from the mouth Of the canon
which is about twenty miles long and
from one efourth to one-half mile wide.
The walls OF the canon, which are from
600 to 1000 feet high. and are Of sand
stone formation. The bed OF the canon,
is mostly OF granite formation. The
gentlemen tell US that wood and water
are plentiful but prospectors coming in
should bring all the necessary provis-
ions. as Delta is the dearest supply
point. A blacks ith shop and other
improvements are now being built, and
it will only be short time until they
will have the property equipped in
manner that will enable work to be
carried on extensively, the only draw
back being the wagon road. which will
have to be built to the river. and alPo q

The most confirmed hater OF England
in this country can say nothing when
the question Of business relations is
weighed. For England is by far our
best foreign customer, and the balance
in our favor Of late has increased with
singular rapidity. In October last we
sold Great Britain 5O,O0O,OOO worth OF
goods and bought from it lees than
100000 worth the balance in favor in
one month reaching the great sum OF
sl6.OOO.OOO. 1t is a striking fact that
this balance OF $4,000 900. greater than
in the same month last year. How
deeply concerned the United States
would be il it were carrying on business
with any country at such disparity.
England undoubtedly buys freely Of US
because it is to her advantage, but that
is true OF all sound and legitimate bust
ness transactions. Estimating the

70, last June. but the figure is above the
S0.COO mark by this time. The assess
able valuation OF the property Of the two

valuation is about s2O0OO0.OO0. No
state of all the thirty-two admitted by
congress ever had anything like the
populatisn or the property which the
combined territories possess at this
