W. c. T. U. TO PRAY FOR BRYAN.
Endless Chain of Prayer for Defeat of
Mckinley.

The Indiana Womens Christian
Temperance Union has adopted plan
for campaigning against President Nc
Kinley, their opposition to him being
based on his alleged approval of THE
army 'canteen" system. The plan is
unique in American politics and is
called the Presidential prayer chain
pledges"
The plan is to start an endless chain
of prayers by having the woman ad-
dressed make prayer herself and
pledge ITO two of her women friends
each of whom will pray and will send
similar letters to two of her friends.
The praying is Ito continue until cleo
tion day. If the plan succeeds, half
the women in the UNITED States will
be praying for McKinley's defeat by
election time. Following lis a copy of
the printed prayer pledge:
Whereas, President Mckinley has
shown that he prefers the favor of the
liquor men of this nation to that of
the millions of Christian people who
petitioned him Ito blot out the canlteen
scourge from the army; therefore,
pledge myself as follows:
"First-I pledge myself THAT I will,
until election day, make lit a special
subject of prayer Ito my Heavenly
Father that He will give Ito THE United
States a better man for President for
the next four years, one who will keep
wine off the White House table, who
will be total abstainer himself, and
who will do what he can ito overthrow
the liquor traffic.
"Second-I Furthermore pledge my
self ITO make ait least two copies of
this letter, and mail one copy Ito some
sister in the State in which l reside,
and the other copy to some sister in
some other State
On THE bottom margin of the pledge
is the Biblical citation: st. Matthew
xviii, 19: again say unto you, THAT
if two of you shall agree on earth as
touching anything THAT they shall ask
1T shall be dome for them of my Father
which is in heaven

WILMINGTON CITY HAS
JUST 76,508 INHABITANTS.
Gratifying Increase for the Past
Decade in the Population of
Little De1aware's Metropolis.

Wilmington, Del, Aug. BOWL
mingi,on lis a prosperous city of 76,50S
souls all told. This lis the return of
che twelfth census o fthe city made in
June last under the direction of the
Federal government. The igues were
announced yesterday afternoon from
iJhe census bureau ait Washington.
The story told by the array of figures
lis gratifying to the mass of Whining
tonians, although some of the more
sanguine had hoped that the figures
would mount up to $4,000. However,
there has been an increase of 1907
souls in the population of the city in
the last decade, representing an in
crease of 24.54 per cent. which is ex-
tremely favorable when compared
with the percentage of increase in the
larger cities of the Union.
In 1880 the population of Whining
ton was 81, 1,431. Since the census of
THAT date there has been a steady in
crease in the number of inhabitants of
Wilmington, until lit eclipsed the 75,-
900 mark, and began its climb toward
$4,000, although that mark had not
been ATTAINED within THE decade.

Little Fear of Pursuit.

marks which indicaued THAT Miss Pack

this is their determination remains to
be seen.

Cured of Tuesday last. One of Wilk-

The friend paid no attention to the
note, believing lit to be THE work OF
some practical joker. Who wrote
the communication, which lit is now
known was founded on knowledge OF
Miss Packards whereabouts, is still
a mystery.
1t is believed in Dover that Mr.. and
Mrs. Packard will not pursue Dr.
Wilkinson and their daughter, Joseph
line, further. There seems to be no law
under which they could hold Wilkin-
son a prisoner long enough to enable
THE girl to outgrow his influence over
her, and the girl too, is now devoid

eration.

Josephine went ito Darby a week
ago. While allowed her liberty there
she remained Within doors practically
all of the time The newspapers were
kept from her and they told her that
Howard had been sentenced to Dover
Jail for two years.
On Wednesday she managed to get
hold of Philadelphia paper which
contained a story in which Wilkin-
sons address was given as THE Imper-
ial hotel. Half an nhour later she was
ON her way to the hotel via trolley.
When she entered the Imperial Ho
tel she did not disclose her identify to

while she wanted alt a table in the res

ito the restaurant he WAS probably the
most surprised, as we'll as the happiest
man in Philadelphia.
"Josephine!" he exclaimed, rushing
toward her. Il Thought you had Civ

"Never, Howard" replied the pretty
Dover girl, half laughingly, half sob

COPPER FROM C00NEY.
Denver Mining Men Have Good Thing In
Socorro County.


II. c. McCreery has taken to Denver
a 6O-pound copper specimen that is one
Of the most striking mineral exhibits
that has ever been shown there. 1t Is
solid mass Of peacock copper, and Is an
exceptionally fine specimen The rock
came out of the Silver Bar Copper Min
ing Companys property at Cooney, in
the Mogollon mining district. 1t is run
ming 70 per cent copper for foot Of the
vein, which is feet wide. The entire
chute, which is opened for " feet, will
go between $50 and $50 a ton.
The ore was opened in running a tun-
mel which has penetrated the mountain
to distance of 600 feet, and was found
at a point 300 feet In from the mouth.
Here it appears at the top of an i'm
mense copper chute, which has been cut
and Is now being sunk on by Mr.. Nc
Creery and others. The winze has at
tained a depth of 1870 feet, and drifts
have been run in two directions. OPEN
ing the chute for n feet in length. There
Is ore as rich as ever in both breasts.
Another chute was disclosed in the tun-
mel between the mouth and where this
big chute was found. 1t will be devel-
oped by one Of the drifts being run off
from the bottom of the 1S0-foot winze.
1t is probable that 1t will be one and the
same chute as depth Is attained.
The high-grade ore has to be hauled
to Silver City, ninety miles southeast
at cost of $3.50 per ton. The output
CT the property this month will be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The property
was bonded to H. e. Bassett, H. c. Nc

Of Buffers Reported Move
Across the Tugela.
BRITISH PUBLIC IN THED DARK
The Dispatches Are Censored and the Peo-
pie Believe the Truth Is Concealed for
Military Advantages to Be Gained
By Secrecy,

London, February 5.-A correspondent
of the Associated Press learns from Of
ficial sources that absolutely no con-
flrmation has been received by the war
office of the report that General Butler
recrossed the Tugela river and is
marching on Ladysmlth. On the con-
trary, according to information of the
war office, at present there is every In
dication that things are quiet at the
front and MO immediate movemsnt is
from Ladysmith. saying that Buffers
guns have been heard there, 1t Is sur
missed that some practice may have been
going on with the new batteries just
received at the front
London, February 5.-The war office
statement that 1T has received no con-
f1rmation Of the report that Gen. Butler
recrossed the Tugela river failed to
shake the public belief that operations
of tremendous Importance are proceed
ing at Tugela. 1t is thought either the
denial was prompted by a desire to
keep the military movements as secret
as possible until something is accom-
plished, or Butler is keeping the home
officials in the dark. Correspondents at
Buffers headquarters convey the i'm
preston that his main force is still at
the Tugela, but 1t is easily conceivable
that the dispatches are censored.
London, 4:45 p. ma special from
Durham, Natal, dated to-day, says:
'There is no definite news from General
Butler but 1t is reported that there was
heavy fighting yesterday"
Cape Town, February 5-A dispatch
from Naauwpoort says: There is great
activity here and on the Rensberg-
Hanover road, due to the dispatch of an
overwhelming force Of infantry to seize
Norvalspont. The cavalry has complet-
ed a reconnaissance and is being retired
to recoup its losses. The Beers at Coles
