adopted was to prevent any State from
imposing discriminating tax on the prod

to give Congress power to prevent any kind

1t is a necessary power. and in applying 1T

Rev. Maximo Duty. rector of an Episco-
pal church. colored, of Richmond, Va, is in
a pretty pickle because he was indisereet
enough to keep parish register in which
he recorded. opposite the names, his per-
sonal opinion of the respective members of
his congregation. Some of these opinions
were not complimentary. One brother was
designated as foxy another as self
conceited," another as under suspicion. and
so on. One sister was described as zig
norant,' another as unreliable. while a
third was tersely characterized as mo
good" He kept this roll in his study. but,
unfortunately, not under lock and key, and
during his absence from the city on a re-
cent occasion several of the female men,
bers investigated II. and on the basis OF
what they discovered stirred up such a

be without a congregation. The lesson OF

keep them locked up.

The statistics of the University of Mich
igan indicating the effect of coedueation
upon marriage are interesting because the
number of persons they embrace is suffi-
cient to afford a basis of generalization.
These statistics show that out of 1855
women who have graduated from Ann Ar
Dor since the establishment of coeducation.
only 533, or less than 80 per cent, have
married. OF the graduates of ten years
standing. less than one-half have married.
Thus it appears that while now and then
the mingling of young men and young
women in college life may cause a hasty
marriage, the general effect is to lessen the
inclination toward matrimony. 1t is prob
able that statistics touching the large num-
her of young people of both sexes thrown
together in commercial and industrial es-
adjustments would show the same tend
ency. though in less degree. The greater
independence which women acquire through
self-support. the less inclined are they TO
accept offers of marriage.

Ore Prod, ction Keeps Up.

Manager Wiley reports that this month
bids fair to equal October in the amount
of smelling ore received for treatment by
the Chamberlain Dillingham; works. A
great deal depends, Of course, upon what
effect the coal strike will have upon the
different properties in the vicinity. The
point to be derived, however. is that un-
der normal conditions the district shows
an advancement, and it will not take
much of an endeavor to reach the best
shipping epoch in our history. In fact,
the production of last month and this
equals that of the same months in 1901
the banner year-with the Laniartine left
out. That mine year ago was shipping
heavily-and while this year production
has from different reasons been greatly
curtailed, there is reason to think that
with fair price for silver and the period
of extensive development passed. the old
standby will again equal its splendid
past record. To the output of today,
which can be considered as normal may
safely be added that to follow the enten-
sive tunnel and other development Of the
district, in our calculations for future
years.

said he was up fsr the purpose OF looking

and while he did not say so, the belief IS
that the Saratoga company is preparing
to drive the Newhouse tunnel to that
vein. The distance is about 1000 feet
