NEGROES IN WASHINGTON.
Way Has Been Made by the
CoIored Citizens.

The Union league of Washington has
Just made an exhaustive inquiry into
the status of the colored population
there. IT finds that commendable
progress has been made in business,
in spite OF a good many drawbacks,
there being over SO varieties of busi-
ness in which colored people are en-
gagged, says the Star. There are more
than 1900 colored proprietors, one
fourth of whom have been in business
more than ten years. They give en-
ployment to over 2S,OsO persons. They
have $G54,761 invested in business,
and they do an aggregate of business
yearly of $1,75O,OOO. Barber shops,
restaurants, cobbler shops, express
delivery and similar callings consti-
tute the larger portion, but there are
II contractors, IS fish dealers, 100
grocers and 40 market stand pro-
prietors, and in all this lot only II
poolroom keepers and nine saloon
keepers. There are SO physicians, 12
trained nurses, ten dentists and 80
lawyers. Among other conclusions
reached by the investigation is that
colored people are not disposed to
patronize one another in these classes
of business in which the whites se-
riously compete for trade. This is
ascribed partly to lack of confidence,
but partly to envy and jealousy.

THE GAMING INSTINCT.
Feees Upon the Satisfaction Gained
Through Acquiring Money and
Pleasure without Labor.

We are now, perhaps, in a position
to unders stand how gambling comes
to exist and why it is so fascinating,
saws the American Journal OF Soci-
ology. It is means of keeping up
the conflict interest and of securing
all the pleasure-pain sensations of
conflict activity with little effort and
no drpdgery; and, incidentally or
babitually, It may be q means Of Sc
curing money--that is, potential sat
isfactions of all possible kinds
through the gains accruing to the
winner. In gambling the risk is inn
minent, the attention strained, the
emotions strong: and even where the
element of skill is removed entirely
and the decision left to chance, an
emotional reaction analogous to the
feeling in the genuine conflict is ielt'
From this standpoint our problem is
not so much to account for the
gambler as to account for the busi-
ness man. The gaming instinct is
born in all normal persons. 1t is one
expression of powerful reflex fixed
far back in an animal experiences
The instinct is, in itself, right and in
dispensable, but we discriminate be-
tween its applications, II is valued
in war and business; it expresses
itself in a thousand forms in the
games of children and in college
athletics; it is approved in such ex-
pressions as golf, tennis and billiards,
as recreation for the man OF
affairs; but society justly condemns
the exercise of the instinct aside
from activities which create values.
The value may be in the increased
health and vigor which the business
man derives from the recreation, or
it NAV be in the creation of wealth
by this same man in a competitive
business, but the gamester pure ana
simple is not regarded with favor
by society, because he creates no
values and is therefore parasitical,
and is besides disorganizer OF the
habits of others,

SELLING ORDERS
With Prospects Of Rain Dealt Smash
ing Blows at the Opening.
BY Associated Press.

by ASSOCIATED treSS.
New York, July 15.-The first smash.
ing blow dealt to the market by the
accumulation of selling orders over
Sunday, which were executed almost
simultaneously when the Presidents
gaVel fell, made the low prices of the
day. There was gradual but con-
tinued recuperation during the whole
of the remainder of the day except for
some of the fresh recessions at the
close when the room traders were TAX
ing their profits on the days rally.
The days net change was of some
considerable net losses. but also of sew
eral sharp gains, while the sharpest
losses at the opening were reduced to
unimportant proportions or entirely
wiped out.
Holders of United States steel made
a notable demonstration this morning
in urgent attempts to unload, only to
find that the insiders were prepared to
support the market and accept their Of
ferings. The extreme opening decline
for the common was Az on running
sales of 10000 shares and for preferred
points.
The rally in the market was very fe.
verish and erratic until the opening
prices in the corn market disclosed the
weakness of that cereal on the prospect
of rain in the corn belt. The contin-
ued weakness of corn was an influential
factor in the sustained recovery of
stocks. The opening declines in the
leading Changers and Pacific south
westerns reached to points, Union
Pacific leading. Elsewhere in the list
the losses ran from to points.
The railroad bond market was not so
acutely affected as stocks and showed
some gains in the late trading. U. S.
new As, the old As and the 5s declined
Il per cent.

RICH COLUMBIA
CONCENTRATES.
Twenty Tons Worth $50, 900.
Average Values.

Two Of the most valuable carloads Of
ore ever brought to Baker City over the
Sumpter Valley railway were those arriv.
ing here on Wednesday evening and ship.
ped from the Colubia mine.
Frank S. Baillie, manager Of the Col.
umbia Mining company, accompanied the
cars to this city and had the ore sampled
by the Baker City SampIing works,
which gave a return Of over $4,000.
There were twenty tons In all, ten tons to
the car, that being the capacity Of the
cars Of the Sumpter Valley railway.
Mr.. Baille, after the.sampling In this
city, forwarded the ore over the o. R. &
N. to the smelter at Everett, Washington.
Ore Of such value as this from the
Columbia Is truly wonderful and gives
the fullest evidence Of the wealth to be
found In the eastern Oregon gold fields,
the Cripple Creek Of the Pacific North.
west.-Democrat.
This Is good newspaper item, all
right, but It Is inaccurate on two import.
ant points. In the first place, It was a
shipment Of concentrates, and not ore, as
that term Is usually used. The Columbia
ships no ore, every pound from the mine
being run through Its mill, which saves a
very large per cent Of values. The state.
ment In the Republican, that this ship.
ment was literally alive with the "yellow
metal" was a combination Of ignorance
and dishonesty. It Is not necessary to
send free gold ore to smelter for treat.
ment.
The other point on which the Democrat
was In error, Is the impression conveyed
that this was an unusually rich shipment.
Manager BailIie says the concentrates
from the Columbia mill averages about
as this lot does, 81, 500 to the ton.
Speaking of this matter, mining man
we'll posted on the big properties In this
district, stated to MINER representative
that the Columbia is the most valuable
and best managed mine In the state.

Moore OF the Weather Bureau, in re-
ply to suggestions made by William II.

by Senator Perkins, to the effect that
the Government should establish a
wireless telegraph system between sta

steamers plying between San Francis
co and the Hawaiian Islands, Australia

they cross the thirty-fourth parallel,
about 800 miles from shore, for the
purpose of telegraphing the meteorolo-

Chief Moore says: I'VE are endeav-

How Ward Went DOWN

San Francisco. Feb. 23.-One man OF
the many who went down with the Rio
did not care to live. That man was
Captain William Ward. After the ship
struck he did all in his power to save
his passengers, but all who saw him
In those last fateful moments agree
that he made no effort to save him
self. Second Officer Coghlan saw him
shortly before the Rio plunged beneath
the waters. At that time Ward was
making for his stateroom. A woman.
Mrs. Kate West, believes that she was
the last person who saw him. Her
story is that he stepped into his state
room and closed the door. A moment
later the ship went down, This is
positively denied by several other sur
vivors, who say that Ward was amid
ships assisting passengers to escape.
