thority on such subjects, the iron ore out.
put for the United States for the year 1893
was tritle over nineteen million long
tons. The same source gives the output
for the year 1899 at nearly twenty-five
million long tons, far In excess Of that Of
any other country in the world, making a
net gain OF nearly six million tons,
having value Of Sl.Aa per ton in 1899 as
against Si.Ii per ton in 1908. Three
states in the Union practically contributed
the entire product, namely: Michigan,
producing nine million tons, closely fol.
lowed BY Minnesota with something over
eight million tons, Alabama being third
with nearly two million tons, and twent. I.

might assume In this procession, II the
great iron ore business was industriously
prosecuted. Irrespective Of the marvellous
deposits In Utah, ,Wasatch, Juab, Morgan,

those who maintain that In Iron county
alone Utah could soon be made TO take
first rank In iron ore production. Il Is
said, and generally accepted as a truth,
that in Iron county, excepting skim sub.

WHY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have More Leisure Time Than Men and
Naturally Think Over Things.

FROM time fmmem orial women have
been told-by women, as we'll as men,
though naturally more often by the
latter-that worry digs wrinkles in
their faces and sprinkles gray among
their tresses. These warnings do lit
tie good. The fair creatures go on
worrying and will probably continue
to do SO until the millennium comes.
Why this is SO is answered in this
way: The question of worry with
women seems to be simply this: Won

ness of their protected lives-for it is
the protected woman who does the
most worrying-that it Is hard to see
beyond and above sometimes, and mat
ters in this way get wholly out of To-
Gus. Ii women had the capacity with
men of getting UP and doing battle
with things, worry would slip off their
shoulders as easily as from off those of
the average masculine. Man doesn't
worry about debt, because he feels thai
he has it within him (since money
making Is his business1 to make suffi-
time. Women look at It more prae-
tica1ly, and consider the now. Man
doesn't generally worry about his
health, because he really has not the
time. Let him become i'll, though, and
have to stop his work, and how is 1t
with him? Man doesn't worry about
the future--he Is SO madly interested
in the present, nor about his clothes,
for the tailor stands between him and
that; nor about home matters-they,
from his point of view, are too trivial

ed dinner, and then in his broad out
look there is no excuse for this state
of things, for In business, If an en-

r. E. eAuRCHS WORK.
Noted Paintings by Lamented American
Artist.

The death of Frederick Edwin
Church, the veteran landscape painter,
removed a well-known figure in art
life of this country, better remembered
perhaps by past generation than by
the younger set. He was born in Hart
ford, Conn.,, May I, 1926. His talent
for art was prominent and in early
life he determined to adopt art as q
profession and placed himself under
the instruction OF Thomas Cole, and
resided with him in the Catskills He
soon became we'll known as a land
seape painter, and critics awarded him
praise for his accuracy of drawing
and vivid appreciation of nature He
spent a short time in Switzerland, and
in 1853 visited South America to study
the picturesque scenery. THE Heart
of the Andes" which created a great
sensation, was first exhibited in 1859,
and was bought by the late William
T. Blodgett. Other well-known works
painted about the same period are
The Andes of Ecuador" "Cotapaxi. ;"
now at the Lenox library. "Chinbor-
azo His View of Niagara Falls"
now In the Coreoran art gallery,
Washington. d. c., is recognized as
the first satisfactory production by art
of this wonderful piece of nature; il
won prize at tie French exhibition
in 1867. Another painting of t'Magra.
was painted for A. t. Stewart in 1866.
the price paid for it by Mr. Stewart
being $4,000. In 1878 he was again
represented at the French capital with
two pictures, "Marning in the Tropics"
and The Parthenon, He travelled
extensively in this country and abroad,
studying nature and giving to the
world numerous productions of high
character. A number of his works are
owned in England, one of his principal
works being Ieebergs,a which was
purchased by Sir Edward Watson, NJ.
p, London. His wife died about a
year ago. 1wo sons and a daughter
survive him.

Low LIFE IN NAPLES.
Haunts of tho Thieves Where Crime

The haunts of the beggars of Naples
are also usually the hannts of thieves
kept by some woman, who trades on
the vice and misery of her fellow-crea-
lures. says the Gentleman's Magazine.
There the miserable wretches sleep by
night and assemble by day, teaching
children to pick pockets and beg.
Thence every morning the blind, the
lame and the aged set forth on their
rounds in the city. A false monk sets
out to visit certain families and shops
on certain days, giving numbers 70 the
lottery and receiving aims. An old
woman departs with her pocket full OF
sweetmeats, with which she deeoys
little children into some deserted cor
ner and robs them of earrings or arti-
Giles of clothing. Others rob the aims

of shrines on the roads, These kneel

them with his charming, ingenious

tenor voice, and was often even in
vited to his friends houses and intro
duced to their families. He was no
thief; his business was to inform his
criminal associates of the financial
state of the families he visited. thus

THE IDEAL AUTOMOBILE.
Low Cost. Durability. and speed Nee'

essary.
The automobile has been sufficiently
long in our midst to enable us to define
the essential qualities which go to
make up an ideal machine, says the
Scientific American. Naming them in
their order they are as follows: Low
cost. durability, endurance large fuel
supply. ability to climb hill and speed.
Low cost is given the first place for the
reason that the present price Of the au-
tomobile places It altogether beyond
the means of the average individual.
and renders 1t very decided luxury
1t is certain that eheapening the cost
will produce proportionate increase
in the demand and an increased de-
mand will lead in It's turn to reduc-
ton in the price. This was eonclu-
sively proved in the history of the BIZ
cycle, the cost of first-class machine
today being about quarter what 1t
was a few years ago when the number
of riders was limited. But while the
ideal automobile must be cheap, the
reduction IN price must not be gained
at the expense of sound materials and
good workmanship. However great
may be the demand for a low-priced
machine, our manufacturers must new
er attempt to meet 1t by making a
short cut by way of snowy but inferior
construction. The folly of such a meth
cd was demonstrated very conclusive
ly when the bicycle was at the height
of its popularity. Next to its low cost
and durability we place the endurance
of the automobile, by which We mean
its capacity to cover large mileage
without having to refill its fuel tanks
Liberal fuel capacity will be very

Baby Elma Meier aged four, and Baby
Minnie Meier, aged two. Miss Bessie

self to be thrown into deep water and
is seen to sink, without any apparent
opportunity of extricating herself from
the sack Being an accomplished swim
mer, however, the seif-possessed young
person makes no trouble of floating like
a cork in her ungainly shroud, and to
see her wriggle ashore Is a valuable il
lustration Of what may be accomplished

Master Tommy does a trapeze act over
the water, performing some of the most
difficult and amusing stunts. One of
his pet tricks is having himself cast into
the deep with his hands and feet strained
in such way that anything like the or
binary motions Of swimming are alto
gether out of the question But the
really thrilling and astonishing features
of the wonderful show are the two baby
girls, Baby EIma and Baby Minnie.
These two chubby infants must have
been literally born in the water, for they
are just as much at home in it as they
are ashore. The oldest of the two lit
tie performers is four years old and the
youngest two.

CONCERT AND FIREWORKS.
Special Feature for Thursday Night

cessful in the history of Como park from
the point of view of public patronage.
The park was crowded every evening
with promenaders, ard the pavilion well
filed with devotees of al fresco concert.
The Minnesota State band has certainly
made a safe hit with patrons of Como
park, encomiums on the merits OF the
organization being heard on all sides and

heavy rain that fell in the evening the
fireworks had to be dispersed with. 1t
has now been decided to give the great
fire show on Thursday evening, and as
1t Is necessary in order to fill out an
evening of f1rework display to add con-
s1derably to the original programme
which was intended to be merely supple,
mentary, the management has added sew
eraI hundred dollars worth of material to
be used on this occasion
The fireworks to be shown this year are
not Of the old stock type. The manage
ment has been investigating for the last
six months in an effort to secure new
and novel pyrotechnic effects, with the re-
suit that a. great number of the most
striking novelties that have been in use
py the exposition authorities in Paris
nave been brought to this city.
On The occasion of the pyrotechnic dfs.
play there will be an evening concert as
usual by the Minnesota State band.
