board of commissioners by personal
abuse of it's members will fail of their
intended effect, as such methods al
ways do. In insisting that the county
officials do their duty as prescribed
by law, in disallowing unwarranted
claims for office rent and extra help,
in refusing to accept worthless bonds
for the faithful performance of a con-
tract, and insisting that contractors for
supplies fulfill their agreements to the
letter, the commissioners have done ex-
actly as the taxpayers of Rosebud
county have right to expect and de-
mand. If they would do their duty
faithfully they could do no less, and
the minutes of their June meeting will
disprove the charge of disappointed
schemers that extravaganza is to pre-
vail under the present administration.
The senseless attack on the capability
of the county clerk, whose work by the
way, has progressed as far as possible
with the limited amount of supplies at
his command, and who is one of the
only two officials whose reports were
ready for inspection when the board
convened, will fall short of the mark.
Mr.. Bailey is generally recognized as
efficient and obliging and he is always
to be found at his post of duty during
business hours. The singers
will only succeed in demonstrating to
the county at large their own unworthi-
ness.

Mr.. Amos Darling was from the east

said He thought he would like to
engage in the cattle business. He
brought letters to Major Martin from
business friends in the east and was
welcome at the ranch where he had
made himself at home for several

Copper Near Mount Data.

Copper deposits in the province of
Lepanto, near Mt. Data, P. l., have
been worked by the Igorrotes since be-
fore the Spanish discovery of the
archipelago. These barbarians, who
are heathens, living in squalor, have
developed industrially to a surprising
ly high point, and the skill they ex-
hibit in the extraction and working
of metals is extraordinary. They
turn out copper kettles no less than
three and a half feet in diameter. and
they also make numerous kinds of i'm
lements and ornaments out of the
same metal.

Petroleum Wells in Canada.

The production of petroleum in Can
ada is practically confined at present
to the counties of Lambton, Kent and
Boutwell,, in the southwestern part
of the province of Ontario. The town
of Petrolia, in Lambton county, is the
center of the principal district of pro-
duction, while the work of refining is
carried on in Sarnia, about fourteen
miles distant, the crude oil being
pumped through pipes to the refineries.
In this Ontario oil district, there are
about nine thousand oil wells in oper-
alton, and the average monthly yield
is nearly 10000 barrels.

something like 81 200 for his services,

ity and wonderful record it is believed
Freedman will hand him out an extra
thousand or SO as is his usual custom.
1t is matter of comment, too, that
but for Mathewson New York would
have had an unbroken succession Of
defeats for the seven games that he
won. He is also responsible for the
attendance, as his tWirling is one Of
the best drawing attractions in the
league, and has kept the Giants from
playing to empty stands.
Not one of the great pitchers who
have waxed and waned ever started
out with such a record. Their great
ness came later, but Mathewson jump
ed to the first flight right off the reel.
His record so far is the best of any
pitcher and it remains to see ii he can
keep it up.

WELL-PAID PREACHER.
Many of the New York Clergymen Re-
ceiye Munifieent Salaries

ceive Munifieent Salaries.
To be the minister in one of New
York's big churches is to occupy a
lucrative and desirable position The
salaries are large and the perquisites
often double the salary 1t was said
that the late DR.. John Hall had an in
come of between $4,000 and $50 900 a
year. OF this his salary was $25 900
and the rest was for marriage fees
and other incidentals. DR.. Morgan
Dix of Trinity receives $25, 900 per
annum, and his perQuisites are quite
as much as were Dr. Halls. He has
also about twenty assistant curates
none of whom gets less than $4,000 per
annum. Not less is the income of DR..
Greer, rector of st. Bartholomew S
Episcopal church, for besides a large
salary he officiates at more fashion
able weddings than any other minister
in New York. DR.. Huntington Of
Grace church probably comes third in
the list of highpriced preachers. Dr.
Macarthur of Calvary church is the
best paid Baptist minister in the city,
although his salary does not equal
that of some of the Episcopal rectors
But his parish is large, and he is in
frequent demand at weddings. BY a
sort of unwritten law among the clergy
the minister's wife always receives all
wedding fees. They are supposed to
be her pin money. Some ministers
who are unmarried set this sum aside
for charity. Clergymen who have big
churches and wealthy congregations
receive substantial recompense for
officiating on these occasions. The
custom of giving big marriage fees
is every year increasing, and the big
ger the fee the more mplimentary
it is supposed to be for the bride. For
his services at the christening of the
little ones of the rich the rector also
gets nice check. When it is remem-
bered that handsomer residences are
thrown in by the large churches, in
addition to the regular salary, it will
be seen that call to rich metropoli-
tan church is not to be despised.-

Walter Brodie, the veteran out
fielder, is believed to be out of the
game for good.
Elmer Smith has been signed as an
extra outfelder for the Pittsburg club
New York did not want him.
Otto Kruger is not finding the ball
so hard as at the beginning. His third
base play is almost perfection.
"Wahoo Sam Crawford of the Gin
cinnatis has been doing some tall stick
work. He has been lining the ball out
in about every game in manner that
is calculated to disconcert any pitcher,
and if he does not bat up to the $50
mark this year Cincinnati rooters will
lose their guess.
Lajoie and Jimmy Collins are not
proving the strongest kind of leaders
in the American league according to
Tim Murnane. He says that the Phila-
delphia team is all at sea, while the
Bostons are playing without conf
dence. Men like Lajoe and Collins
have always made good without the
extra honors and don't seem to take
to the leadership business very grace
fully. This may come better after
few weeks, but in the meantime the
public will be sizing up the work OF
the teams.

BERGEN A WONDER.

Cincinnati believes she has wonder
in Billy Bergen. Says Manager Nc

occasions this spring that Billy Bergen
was a better catcher than his brother,
Martin, admit that I did not believe
that such was the case. But since l
have seen him work, am compelled to
admit that he is his brothers superior.
He may not be a Lajoie at the bat, yet
I think he will make better hitter
with practice. He will not do much
bench duty this season. He is too valu-
able a man for team to be out of the
game"

ABOUT WOMEN GROWING OLD.
May Look Charming While Clinging to
Remnant of Youth.

Remnant of Youth.
A writer on feminine subjects has
been kindly advising women how to
grow, not old, but middle-aged? The
married woman takes up with her
changed position in the world a self
assurance, an Importance that in them
selves mark the quitting of the follies
of youth The spinster who does not
grow middle-age ged-naturally we'll will
not be likely to let herself be taught
the process | fancy. 1t is quite pos
sible, too, for woman to cling so OBJ
viously and innocently to her remnant
of youth that the very weakness makes
her charming. At worst, trying to be
young is a sign of desire to please.
Was there not something pathetically
lovable about Monna Brigida in
"Romola," when, her soul touched by a
call to higher hopes, she parted with
her little false me-contradictors, the
rouge, braids, and embroidered red
velvet beretta'? Though Romola as
sured her she looked better less adorn-
ed, is not our sympathy with her as
she cries out, What an old scare
crow am? When sorrow drives the
youthfulness out of our hearts we
grow middle-aged quite easily; the
dear trivialities of life are precious no
longer, SO we let them pass away un-
regretted, but when woman is still
basking in the sunshine of love, plenty
and peace T. for one would have her
be young, look as young as possible,
wear young" clothes even, dimple
when she smiles, blush at compliments
and get excited over buying new dain-
ties of headgear. The youthfulness
that isn't mere imitation is never un-
suitable, not even to great-great-
grandmother.

In Judging fly balls I depend on
