VISITED HIS CLIENTS
Attorney Hopkins Sees the
 Halderman Brothers

Attorney $ H Hopkins of Gonzales Texss who is making every effort to save the necks of the condemned
 Hsldermsn brothers leit this morning for Phenix after s stay Of one day here to interview his clients. MT Hopkins has been diligently at work in the interest of the condemned men and his earnestness has at least made this one of the celebrated cases in criminal jurisprudence in that more people Of individual and official prominence have been induced to ente. plea for executive clemency for the condemned men than has been recorded in any similar case in the west. This in great measure Is due to Mir Hopkins personal representa- tions, argument and eloqusnoe. While holding profound respect for dis senting opinions,-with which he un- douhtedly met while here-Mr Bo p kins gentlemsnly demeanor sn d ssruestness showed ac0nscientiou. e. fort in bis course. Mir Hopkins stated that Gov Murphy will review the case next week and he would be on hand to present his plea and argument.

SILVER RISING
The Price of the White Metal
 on the Up Grade

The Lesdvilie, Colo, Miner says ::
 "The steady advance Tn the market price of silver from 6l cents to o2 3 s cents in very few days has caused numerous inquiries from our readers i as to the probable cause This is within an eighth of a cent of the high est price made for very long time i; April 29, 1899, i, was quoted a. 62l cents. l, is not difficult to trace var. ious reasons Tor the present advance. The demand from Chins, Japan, India as well ss Spain, Cubs and the new American possessions is greater than , for many years psst. The countries winch are now warning are all users of the white metal, and everyone knows that war Im bring increased expenditurts-whstever the money medium in use may be. The great gold shipments abroad from America, have brought silver money more into use in this country. Production has been on a comparatively mesger scsle for some years past, and the long and short o. lie. the ,upplyi, not equal to the demand. IL would not te strange if the price should advance to still higher levels and remain there for come time. All of which is en- couragine to the producers of silyer ores."

INTERESTING CHARACTER.

81 really think said Bill LANCE yester-
day, "that Old Sport Campana, who came
within the money at the six-day walk at
st. Louis, recently, is one OF the most
wonderful men of the age, and his con-
must be something grand. Just
think of a man in his 7Os walking the dis
lance he did, and at that I'll bet he was
only half-fed. I was born in Bridgeport,
Conn.,, the town that he lived in, and
know something of the old a Every
place has it's character, and Campana was
surely B~ridgeport's. They thought a
great deal of the old fellow. and l re-
member that they brought him a ped
dler's outfit that cost 1000, but he could
not keep anything. He was not a drink
ing man, but shiftless, and I suppose to-
day that he has not a cent of all the mon
ey he made in his walks, and he must
have taken part in hundreds and made
good o every time. I remember one
peculiar thing about him every time his
name is mentioned. He hit a man for
some trivial thing, and, having no money
he was sent to the p~enitentiary, where
they put him to work at machinery, and,
never having had any experience in that
line before, he had the fingers of his right
hand taken off.
He wss an old fox at the walking bust
ness, and shortly after Corkev, the ham
pion of Ireland, established the record of
SCI miles, Camnana went in and beat it
by several laps, and the people made a
great deal of Old Sport until it leaked
out that he had men running for him dur
ing the early morning hours while he
rested. 1t was when the English walkers,
Rowell. Merritt, and Hazel. were here
that Old Sport made the biggest lump Of
money hat he ever received for his share
of a competition. something over 81. 600.
The .town was scarcely big enough to
hold him. He married a gay woman, fur
nished a Gus in grand style. and both
paraded about town in fine clothes. She
was a hard drinker and their happiness
was short-lived, for soon after the we'd
