HE JUST CAN'T HELP 1T.

Last week Elk Parte made the state
ment that between two and three car
loads of mineral had been shipped
from the Rocky Mountain smelter as Q
result of the cleanup. The Tribun,
thought the figure small, looked it VI
and found that instead of two carloads
127 loads of ore and matte had been
shipped out, and so published the
facts. Now Ex Parte seeks to dis.
credit The Tribune's statement and
intimates that the management of the
Rocky Mountain smelter has deliber-
ately lied.
But it is only natural for the editor
of Ex Parte to take that position
1t is a matter of principle with him

He is forninst every concern that is

yet, Notwithstanding the protests of
the hero of the Thirteenth, the records
at the d. q h. G.. freight depot show
that the smelter billed out 1877 cars of
ore and matte after the twenty third
day of April. But even those records,

Maiden Trip to Kroonland.

New York, June 2S-There was a
great footing of whistles along the
North river today as the new Ameri-
can line steamship Krooland, the big
gest vessel ever built in America, de-
parted on its first trip across the the
Atlantic. The ship was built by the
Cramps of Philadelphia, and SO con-
fident is the company of her ability
to meet contract requirements that
the right of preliminary tests has been
waived, and the voyage begun today
is also the trial trip of the big ship.
The Kroonland's S sister ship, the
Finland, has just been launched at
Philadelphia and as soon as completed
will be put on the transatlantic route,
running opposite to the Kroonland.
The two ships are twenty feet
longer and of four hundred tons great
er displacement than the st. Louis
and New York, also built by the
Cramps for the American line. They
are luxuriously equipped, and are of
moderate speed, being designed to
make the trip across the Atlantic in
eight days.

King Edward of England is improv-
ing nicely, and his trouble seems to
be only a temporary one, there being
no cancerous or malignant character
of the wound. There is no basis visi-
BILE for the deep alarm and the antici-
patton of fatal ending of the illness.
Similar cases to the extent of 80 or 90
per cent recover, but because of the
prominence of the king the British
public supposes he is on the verge of
death. Silly tales of alleged predic-
tions made by fortune tellers are pub
lished to show alleged fulfillment of
their prophecies, such as that Edward
would never live to be crowned, ~
and SO forth. These people bob up
after every sensational occurrence and
say they predicted it. If they did it
was because they made so many prop
hecies that some of them were bound
to come true. - Pueblo Chieftain.
