 Boston, April 9.--The suit for alleged | libel growing out of certain publications | during political canvass at Lynn last fall brought by tive Frank H. Bennett of Saugus against John F. Donahue and the Lynn Daily Item, now in its second week of trial in the superior civil court here was of exceptional interest to-day. Thomas w. Lawson, the copper magnate and build CT of the yacht Independent, was the chief witness, having been obliged to attend court since the case opened. He spoke in behalf of the defence which at present is attacking Mir Bennetts alleged business methods in connection with a paper which he publishes. MT Lawson's testimony was to the effect that Mir. Bennett had endeavored to se- cure advertising from him. In the course of his evidence Mr. Lawson told of a conversation which he said he had with MT. Bennett in which an article said to involve the name of the pres- dent of MT. Lawson's company figured.
 T told him" said Mr. Lawson, that if he should publish such a story as that about me I'd kill him.
 Mr. Lawson said that he became ac- Quainted with Mir Bennett in 1898 and had conversation with him about ad- vertising, first in 1899 and subsequently, MT. Bennett called on him in regard to advertising. MT. Lawson told of visit of MT. Bennett in reference to the ad- vertising of the Grand Rivers corpora tion in his (Bennett's) paper Mir Lawson said he refused to advertise, and said that MT. Bennett had threat ened to expose Aretas Blood, president of the company, unless advertising was placed in his paper.
 Continuing MT. Lawson testified: "Afterward Bennett came to me and said he had seen MT. Blood and he was going to advertise. I said I have talk

1t was stated at that time that the people were

been impossible to have stopped them.
Mrs. Stock, the new hostess comes here from

the numbering and timbering industry, the tourist

letter has been received at this office asking
the question, Where is the road the range
that was to have been built from Empire west"
We admit we do not know. The road has not been
seen in this vicinity, and there is nothing in
outside correspondence to indicate that it has been
in any of the outside sections. If Mr.. Hawey
owns the Colorado and Southern, and also owns an
interest in the new Moatt line, it is hardly posi-
Bile that he will parallel himself permit any other
road to come up through a canon he owns Under
the circumstances the idea of transcontinental
line is not encouraging.

Forest Fire on the Chief.

Charley Crosson was in the city from Brookvale
this week and reported that forest fire was raging
the south side of the Big Chief During the
early part of the week the smoke could be seen
rolling up from this city. Little fear was express
ed regarding danger to the interests on this side as
the summit of the old mountain is still crowned
with snow on the Idaho Springs side. The state
authorities, however, cannot be too careful in the
matter for the protection of the forests.

"PeePing Toms" Arrested.

On Monday evening the city authorities arrest
ed four boys who had gained access under the ladies'
dressing room at the Opera house. The boys had
torn away the boards the outside of the stage so
they could get under it and then cut holes through
the floor of the dressing and put in their

Frank JosIin's Lucky Hat.

Frank Josin, junior member of the great los
Inns Dry Goods company of Denver, lucky mining
man, successful promoter of good things and fell
low who assays clear to the limit as a royal Prince
OF good fellows, came in Thursday with that mas
cot hat--a cross between parachute and the shade
over an express wagon. Mr.. Joslin is connected
with the Bullion King, Gold Medal and Seaton
Gold Mining and Milling company-three of the
really excellent propositions of the district and his
luck is as regular and persistent the course of
the sun from the east to the west.
He claims the hat does it, and the hat looks like
it could do anything. As a matter of fact the ven
cradle piece of headgear looks like it might assay
pretty well 'all by itself"

donned the relic of the dead past his children ask

Mr.. Joslin explained to him who he was and
that he himself a mine operator and then the
son of Sweden began to apologize.
AYE tank from way yore hat skal look yo bane
vantin yob poorly bat F" he said in the most apollo
getic tone he could command.
The Denver refuses to be interviewed con-
ceaning the hat further than to insist that it has
brought him good luck in thirteen different deals
during the past thirteen years. 1t always attracts
attention because it is out of date, out of shape
and in appearance article of abject misery.
Mr.. Joslin was in consultation with DIR. Shaler
during his trip and arrangements are soon to be
made for the thorough development of the big
properties in which he is interested. He is also in
terested in the International Mechanical Boiler
Cleaner company, and states that the hat suggested
the idea of the invention which forms the basis for
the operation of the company. In Denver the hat
is stranger, but in Idaho Springs it has become
famous. Photographs of the lucky old relic would
sell well here among the mining men who
always more or less the slaves of superstition.

Hard Times Which Closed Northern
Factories bid Not Stop Our De-
velOpment.
The progress Of the south and its
promise Of continued prosperity are IL
lustrated by the increased output of Its
mines and furnaces, together with the
diversifcation of it's iron and steel pro-
ducts. In the last ten years Maryland
has increased her coal output from g.
400, 900 tons to 100000 tons, Virginia,
from $4,000 tons to 2,5Ov,000 tons; West
Virginia from 100000 tons to 25,00O,-
900 tons; Arkansas from 100000 tons to
!, $50, 900 tons; Tennessee from 100000
tons to 100000 tons; Kentucky from
3,OOO,O 900 tons to 5,OO0,O0O; Alabama from
7,6OO,O 900 tons to 10,000,000 tons. This
increase, which is phenomenal, Is
measure Of the development of the In
duStries and commerce in which coal iS
consumed. 1t suggests the quickening
and enlargement of host OF enterprls-
es. In Alabama, for example, the coal
output means not only an article FOR
the south to export for spot cash, but
pig iron, steel and at an early date,
steel rans. In Virginia it means a
growing locomotive and ship building
industry. This development has been
proceeding on it's merits as a paying
proposition. The north has to be COM
peted with at every step, with the re-
suit that Southern production has been
carried on economically and under con-
ditionS that insure its continuance.
Hard times six years ago closed many
northern furnaces and factories, but
| they did not stop the southern develop
strides. because the conditions favored
cheap production and profitable pro-
| duction at prices which northern rivals
could not meet. These favorable con-
ditions"-abundant coal, ores, lime
stone, LUMBER, cotton, etc.,-are perma-
nent. Hence the outlook for the south
includes gradual and wholesome de-
velopment without the stoppages that
| embarraSS some other parts OF the
country from time to time.
The trend of events Is we'll shown In
statement of South Cardinals prog
ress in the last decade, prepared by
Senator McI.aurin. Since $780, the sem
ator finds, the Palmetto state has en-
ioyed a remarkable industrial develop
ment. In 1890 there were 1852 indus
trial establishments in the state, with
capital of $29,276,261. The number Of
employees was 22.7S4. and the amount
paid in wages was s5,474.739. The val
ue of the product of these industries
was about $32, 2,00O,000
In 1900 the number Of industrial es-
Establishments in South Carolina was g.
76o. an increase Of 81 per cent. over
1890 The capital invested was $67.356.-
465, an increase Of 130 per cent. The
wage -earners had more than doubled
in number since 1890. and the amount
paid in wages had risen from s5,474. 739
To- 50. .455, 900. The value of the product
of South Cardinals industries in 1900
was "a per cent. greater than in 1890,

When the French gentleman had

the senator replied.
There Is the strongest kind Of SEN
| timent in both branches Of congress
against delay in getting down to actual
work on the canal. One of the biggest
objections found in the house against
the Panama offer was the fact that
negotiations over the purchase Of that
ditch would delay work on the canal
and for this reason the canal advocates
would not listen to the offer in any
shape.
For years and years." we have been
trying to get canal down." Congress-
man Hepburn said in his speech for
the bill, "and each year something has
come up to delay the project. Now
here comes this Panama project. be-
lieve it is nothing more than scheme
to delay 1t again."
In view Of all the foregoing and also
the additional fact Of a great victory
Of the bill in the house where it was
passed by a vote Of 30S to 2, it is gen.

people could wish.

himself against the bill Is Senator De-
pew, and he has just returned from

touch the body or the chair In which
It rested. Once he looked toward the
docr-he had left ajar-but not with the
startled glance Of one who expects to
discover somebody peering In upon
the scene: il was more as If he were
measuring the distance and relieving
by calculation some mathematical
doubt that still possessed him.
There was safe in one corner Of the
rccm. one Of those little iron safes
that lock with a key. The key was
in thu lock. and from it dangled others
attached by ring-a ring that he had
often seen In the possession Of his
friend.
He threw the door Of the safe open
without hesitation. and with an air Of
familiarity that Is indescrlbable Sc
lected certain bundles Of documents
which he deposited on the floor beside
him. Then he removed the key from
the lock. selected another from the ring
that was suspended to 1t and with that
one opened all inner drawer Of the
safe. From that, also. he removed the
papers, but those he placed In his
pocket. Then he relocked the drawer,
replaced the larger key In the safe
lock, closed the door again, arranging
1t as nearly as possible as he had
found it and deposited the papers he
had distracted from the safe in va
rious pockets about his clothing.
Then he sighed while he looked again
intently upon the body in the corner.
For q moment after that he remain
ed apparently In deep thought, with
bowed head and tight lips, and then
he went out Of the room and sought
the one habitually occupied by James.
There he selected handkerchief,
which bore the name Of the old valet,
