CLING Over Credit Points.
FISHERS ISLAND WEAKNESS
Members Of Board Of Arbitration Met II
Nswper, but Game 10 No
Conclusion.

Washington. Sept. io.--The board OF
arbitration. which Is to decide the VIC
tor In the war game on the New England
coast. met at Newport yesterday and ad-
journed until called together again by
the president OF the board
The fight has now been transferred to
the board and already hostilities have be-
gun. The board discussed In general
reach some basis of action In determin-
ing the many questions involved.
ALLEGED TEST OF SERVICE
The Navy members OF the board insist-
ed that the manoeuvres should be re-
garded as a test of the efficiency Of the
respective branches of the service and
that the boards report should be con-
structed along that line
The army members insisted just as
strongly that the operations were really
war game and the duty OF the board
should be to determine the result OF each
OF the engagements II Is recognised by
the army that in at least one OF the en-
gagements the navy won complete VIC
tory. the principal value OF which was to
show the weak points In the lines of de-
fence stretching from New London to
Gardine~s Point.
The board OF arbitration, according to
the army understanding. will have TO
decide each of the different phases OF the
operations and render a report az TO the
victor. They adjourned, however. with
out reaching a conclusion on this point.
The present indications are that the re-
ports from the forts and ships will not
be in shape before the 1st OF October and
there is little prospect OF the board as
sembling again before that time.

Local Mining Men Have Claims
Near Enough To Feel the Elation

the story of the strike as follows:
The breast of the Big Creek tunnel

chute has either Strengthened up or
wideued out. and it will possibly re-
quire a few days to determine. The ore
cut in the tunnel is galena carrying
silver and copper in excellent values
The same character of ore was encoun-
tered in the shaft, and at a depth of
40 feet the ore bearing material is
twenty-four feet wide, with several
feet of high grade silver N copper
ore.
This strike is a very important one,
and is one of the most satisfactory
events in the history of the camp. The
depth now gained is over 500 feet, and
if the vein has widened out to any e
tent, the Big Creek will present before

Heavenly manna is better than
earthly mammon.
Foes without are less to be feared
than faults within.
Watch out for the devil when he
bids you "GoOd-by."
Old truths are too great a price to

Selfshness is the cause of sin and
sacrificing service its cure.
Men are valued by others in about
the inverse ratio of their own valua-

The star of faith will shine long
after the comet of fame has disap-

To take the fuel of lust into the
heart is to invite its fires to consume
the life.
The first thing some people do when
troubles fly into their lives is to clip
their wings.
Happiness depends not IN the things
the heart has but on the heart that

Almost every fool thinks hat he
