complain against the tanner, who, they
allegc, has kidnapped more than fifty
family pets in the neighborhood Of the
tanners Office. The missing cats are
valued at from one dollar to one
hundred dollars each. Curry acknowl-
edges that he recently began tanning
the SIMS of cats, but denies that the
cats are skinned while they are yet
alive. He also declares that he paid

DEMAND FOR COPPER.
In our last lseue attention was called to

In our last issue attention was called to the
great growth OF copper production, This
production, however, has not equaled the
demand, which Is so great that al reserve
products In this country and in Europe are
exhausted. Notwithstanding the great In
crease In the price Of copper during the past
two years, the production has increased but
about 10 per cent per annum and the con-
sumption In greater ratio, resulting In the
complete exhaustion of reserves as stated.
The. capacity Of the great copper mines of
the lake and other regions OF the United
States are taxed to their utmost. There is
Immediately south Of us, In our neighboring
Republic OF Mexico, some OF the greatest
copper deposits In the world-rich In silver,
and gold, too-they are being rapidly alb
sorbed by American and foreign capital,
many million dollars having been invested
therein within the past two years. The
superior advantages that Mexico affords for
profitable mining are becoming known and
appreciated, In the richest part of the
copper belt OF Mexico, the Mines Of FL Pro-
greso Copper Mining ompany, whose sd-
vertlsement appears In this issue, are stu
ated. In the line OF profitable Investment
nothing better could be desired, and as the
company's policy is not to limit investments
DO large sums, but rather to invite the co
operation OF all, 1t is hoped that many will
avail themselves Of the opportunity pre-
sented.

4 PLACE OF HORRORS.

As a place of horrors the Baltimore
Female House of Refuge is shown to
be a most hideous example. Popularly
b slieved to be home for the distressed,
it WAS Friday declared 10 be v'lely
N naged institution, in which the un-
projected inmates are outrageously
treated, where the innocent are rally
ruined and the tortured ones driven TO
insanity.
The exposure of the shameful mis-
management CT the institution, which
has long been generously financially
aided by Slate and city, was formally
and with no mincing words made pub
lie by the December grand jury in its
report on the Re- 1ge to Judge Phelps
on the above day.
The jury's report hays the managers
of the institution in scathing terms,
and goes into details that cannot be
Faithfully inpeached. 1t recites one
instance IN which an inmate was
knocked down by brutal and enraged
official, Dragged over the floor by the
hair and then lashed, while unprotected,
with horsewbip. Then the tortured
woman WIS gagged, strapped in q
strait Jacket, flung into dark cell and
the door locked. Another instance is
given where an inmate was driven in
sane as result of similar horrible
treatment,
AS an immediate means of closing
this house of horrors the grand jury
recommends that the financial aid
heretofore given by the State and the
city Of Baltimore be denied the institu.
ton; that the Inmates be at once re-
moved and that magistrates be asked
not to commit females to the place,
pending the establishment of State
reiormatery school. tits also recon-
mended that the superintendent of the
institution be arrested and punished.

GET THE ALMANAC THAT PRE- DICT
ED THE GALVESTON STORM.

The Ladies Birthday Almanac for 1901 is
being distributed In our city this week. This
publication achieved great prominence In
September by its accurate PREDICTION OF the
Galveston storm. The New York Times,
September 18th, said "Galveston's disas
trous storm was predicted with startling
accuracy by the weather prophet, Andrew
Jackson DeVoe, In the Ladies' Birthday
Almanac, issued in Chattanooga, Tenn, las {
January" 1t is so different from the ordi-
nary cheap patent medicine almanac, that II
has become very popular, and now has a
circulation Of 100000 copies annually.
Our readers who have not received copy OF
the 1901 edition, can get it from their mer

TOWARD EMPIRE.

In the Senate Friday vigorous at
tack was made upon that portion Of
the army reorganization bill which con-
fers upon the PRESIDENT discretionary
lpower to increase the strength OF the
army TO the maximum limit fixed by
the bill. Mr., Bacon, of Georgia, began
tn. attack, and Mr.. Plat, Of Oonnecti-
cut, replying, maintained that discre'
tionary power ought to be conferred
upon the President, and e1presse d
establishment that anybody should
entertain fear that the power ever
would be abused.
Replying to Mr.. Plat, Mr.. Bacon
said he thought the country had fall' IN
upon an evil day when Senator could
rise in this chamber and express views
which he regarded as dangerous to the
liberties of the people and productive
Of one man power, and it was an evil
day, truly, when the Stnator reflected
the attitude of the dominant party.
"Ihe passage of this BILL" declared
the Georgia Senator, "will mark an
epoch in the United States. Senators
may scof, but it is, nevertheless, true
that the passage Of bill by which the
President shall control the size of the
army, is a march toward empire. 1t is
the evident purpos of the bill to eliml-
nae for all time the volunteer system
from the military establishment OF the
country and create for all time great
standing army.
"lhe issue is not to be evaded. Shall
it be in the future in the province OF
the President to raise armies, or shall
that be tho province of Congress
ri would rather see the party | be-
long to condemned to universal and
never ending Punishment from polite j
power than to see such an authorize
tien Of power placed upon the statute
books"

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The Congressional wheels go around
fist enough, but since the tough
Leg slative propositions have been
Tucked the progress has not been
rapid enough TO make the country
dizzy.
When two good Republicans like
Congressman Hopkins, of Illinois and
Littlefeld, of Maine, called each other
bad names, there was nothing for Dem
ocrats to do but to enjoy the show.
One ve1y good reason why those who
are con" paid no attention to the story
tat Ben Harrison was using his in
fuence in Congress to antagonize
administration measures, was that Ben
nd no influence in Congress when he
was President and has less now. He is
quite smart, but he can't use what he
hasn't got.
Concentration Of wealth and power
in this country was accentuated by the
purchase of big railroad in the north
west by "Jim" Hill, and OF two in the
east by P.erpont Morgan. Every deal
OF this sort increases the number OF
those who believe that all the trans
portation lines should be owned by
the government and operated in the in
terest of the people.
The convention that adopted the
Uoi,e ed States Constitution twice fixed
the Preside Itial term at seven years
and made the President ineligible for
reelection, but to head off the kicker3,
whojwanted the President elected for
life, aud in the interest of harmony,
the four year term was finally agree d
upon as a compromise Andrew jack
son, in every message he sent to Con-
gress advocated single term for our
Presidents, and Andrew was eyerlast-
lngly right.

The Republican Legislature of West
Virs inia Friday adopted resolution to
the effect that that State does not owe
and viii not pay cent of the debt due
by Virginia at the time the fotmer
State was created. But there is moth
ing strange in that. AS the territ>r
in which West Virginia was formed,
was stolen, why shouldn't the money
Iegitimately and honestly due by that
territory, be stolen too? Virginia has
taxed and is taxing her people to pay
the two-thlrds of the debt le'erred to
that is due by her, and # West Virginia
will not pay her one-thlrd, she will be
the chief sufferer.
