his mouth, he is being handled in the
lap of luxury. The New York papers

tails of the happenings up at the VAN
infants wardrobe have been pretty we'll
exploited by this time. The gew-gaws
with which the aristocratic youngster is
bedecked. the rattle set with diamonds
upon which it will gnaw grimly when
cutting it's first teeth, and the inlaid
cradle in which its colicky spells will be
passed-all these have been made the
subject of illustration and comment until
the reading public is as sick and tired
of this latest Vanderbilt as it has been
of its progenitors since the family be-
came celebrated for the possession of
wealth and the lack of other necessary
qualities After all, what does it mat

1t is 4 safe bet that the child born in
such surroundings and met by sickening
adulation upon coming into the world
will never amount to anything. ANY
child rolling on the floor Of a miner
cabin in the gulches of Montana has

When the president OF the United
states gives practical Endorsement to
the principles of labor orga nizations and
makes a strong plea for action on the
part of congress in support of his
declarations. it would seem that things
are looking up for the wage Garner. The
party which elected Theodore Roosevelt
has been a friend of labor and has
always received the enthusiastic support
of laboring men.

The wheel horses in the senate line IN
pretty much the same as in other ses-
sions, if special dispatches from Wash
ington nave reported correctly. William
B. Allison is called the father of the
senate" his 20 years continuous service
in the body having given him a right to
this designation. Senator Cullom of Illi-
nois has seen 10 years service in the
senate. The former, at the head of the
appropriations committee, and the latter
at the helm of affairs in the committee
on foreign relations make a strong team.
Their long experience makes them
oracles in matters of sound policy in the
legislative lines for which they are
fitted.

the COPPER MARKET.

The rumors started by enemies or

that the Amalgamated company has been
selling copper below the market quo Ia
tions are wholly without foundation
Mr.. Charles w. Clark today received IN
forma ton from New York to the erect
that no sales below is cents nave pesn
made. and that the prospects are good
Tor the maintenance Of that price This
is excellent news for Butte, for demor-
allied market and a curtailed product
combined would involve dangers which
happily are now averted, leaving the
prospects for the future very bright as
soon as the surplus shall show a safe
diminution.

There is every reason to believe that
the results of development east of Butte
on the copper claims of Franklyn Far
rell are such as to remove all doubt OF
the making Of final payments. His part
ner in the deal, whose name the Inter
Mountain is not at liberty to disclose
is one of the wealthiest and most promi-
nent men in Pennsylvania. If the
people shall succeed in keeping up the
price of copper, and nothing shall occur
to alarm capital as to its safety in cop
per production, the new year will wit
ness the organization of a very powerful
company, whose operations in Butte viii
add greatly to the prosperity of our labol
and business interests.
The time will come when the Alice
and Lexington mines Will figure among
Butte's copper bonanzas. The lowe

INCREASE IN BANx NOTE CIRCULATION.

The national banking system of the
United States is as sound as a dollar. II
the report of the comptroller of the cur
rency may be taken as authority. 1t Is
recorded in the report that during the
past year only II banks wound up their
affairs. At the time the report was CON-
piled there were 1879 national banks in
successful operation. The capital stock
of these banks amounted to $685.. 224 1875
all records in banking circles were
broken. The capital stock of banks was
greatly increased, larger business in
loans and discounts was reported, and
during the month Of July of the present
year the national banks Of the United
States held the greatest amount of in
dividual deposits during the existence OF
the system.
The comptroller calls attention to the
fact that since March of last year the
total circulation of national bank notes
increased over Al per cent. This gave
added elasticity to the countrys cur
rency. For years the demand has been

and a prosperous business condition
This is something upon which the peopl

New York, May 3.-Albert T. Patrick,
David L. Short and Morris Meyers were
arraigned before Recorder Gof today to
plead to indictments for forgery and
Patrick to an Indictment for the murder
of the late Texas millionaire William
Marsh Rice. The defendants pleaded
not guilty, pending the argument Of de-
murrers against the indictments. The
demurrers will be argued next week.
Robert NJ. Moore, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS then made a motion to dismiss
the forgery indictments, declaring that
the Indictments stated that the crime
was committed in September, 1901. a
date which had not yet arrived, and that
this made the papers faulty.
Assistant District Attorney Garvjn
said that the grand jury had renedied
that defect yesterday by filing super
seding indictments in all four instan-
ces. The recorder thereupon refused to
dismiss the indictments

STILL IN THE RING
Clay Center Takes Another Fall
Out of Parsons.

Contrary to expectations Clay Center

implication the law Of 1881. which con-
ferred upon the board of charities the
power to acquire lands for state institu-

otherwise.
The decision is believed to be in oppo-
sition to the decision of the supreme court
rendered last October. which held it to be

ties to acquire title to the land and con

The records of the supreme court show
that two cases were submitted though
