WHEN A MAN CANDLES.

Did you ever stop to think how silly
it Is to work hard all week for few
dollars and then go to the card table
Saturday night and blow in your earn
ings? You sit at the table all night,
and sneak out about daylight with so
little courage left that you can't pucker
your lips for whistle. II your mother,
or your wife, or your sweetheart were
to meet you just then you would feel
smaller than the nickel left IN your
pocket which you wished so hard was
a quarter so you could get into one
more jackpot. Your stomach, into winch
you may have poured a little poor
whisky to change your luck, Is gnaw-
ing; your brain is SO weak that you
can't fake up Il respectable story 10 ten
when you get home, and you are alto
gether a nice speciman of humanity.
You don't dare to think about IL long
enough to realize what a damphool you
are making of yourself.

augurated here by Superintendent
Johnson and was inquisitiye to leain
how the school boys took to this meth
Of occupying their time during the va
cato nmonths. Mr. Bryan looked the
growing crop over carefully and made a
general inspection of the surroundings.
The distinguished Nebraskan was full
of praise for the scholars and their
teacher 1t was conclusive proof, he
said, OF the sterling worth of Carroll's
young men, and if this course was pur-
sued thru life he felt confident in pre-
ditcng that before many years the rep

go forth thru the land for the benefit
of other generations. Mr.. Bryan is
firm in the declaration that a thrifty
mind and hand in the coming man is
the safeguard Of honor and of our
country.
Mr. Bryan took a number of notes on
the scholars garden growth, and we
presume that in future number Of his

Paul Graf, the great and only, ac-
companied by his friend Adrian, re-
turned to Cooperstown last Friday
and were mighty glad to get back.
Suckers were not running very thick
at Butte and business was so dull in
mind-reading, healing etc, that it did
not take long to exhaust the capital
in hand, and resulted in the boys send
ing home for ticket. They are wiser
now. Now if Paul would screw down
his safety valve a little, grab a ham,

come out all right yet.

the time Of his death. He was a
man of sterling qualities, con
scientious in his duties and faith.

one of the oldest and most trust

the ceremonies being in charge
of the Masons, Rev. o. D
Purinton, chaplain of the lodge

The remains were inferred in

offers it's deepest sympathy in
conjunction with a host of friends
to the bereaved wife and child
rem. May they bear up bravely
under the heavy load of affection.

centrally placed to be used as a fire
slarm and connected with the tele
phone exchange, 50 that in event of q
fire the alarm can be turned on just a.
soon as the alarm is given to the ex
change. This would save from three
to five minutes time in some cases
and would go long way towards con
trolling the fire. We believe the sug
I gestion made is a good one and We
hope the town board will look the mat
ter up. The gong would cost from s5(

spent. "A few minutes saved at the
commencement of fire might be the
means of saving thousands of dollar.

7 MILES OF WEDDING
RINGS MADE PER YEAR

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-There have
been made and sold in New York in
the past year enough wedding rings
to reach, IL placed one before the
other, a distance Of about IL miles.
This Is the estimate of a manufac-
turer.
According to his calculations there
have been sent out in the past year
some 100000 wedding rings. OF these
he has manufactured more than 2O0,-
600. and in their making he has used
an even ton of pure gold. The rings
sell from SO to SIS. but where they
all 60 is a mystery to him.
'There are only about five wedding
ring manufacturers in the city," he
said, but these five are kept con-
stantly busy with orders from all
parts of the country, every month in
the year.
MANY people might suppose that
the SIS ring would be the one pur-
chased by the millionaire to present
to his bride, and that the SO ring
would be bought by the workingman,
but the case is exactly the reverse.
The workinsman seems to want the
wedding ring that will cover his
wife's entire hand, while the wealth.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11.-As
the time approaches for the contest
between Jeffries and Corbett, who are
to meet Friday night for the heavy
weight championship Of the world,
popular interest in the fight Is rapid
ly increasing. The management of

mill takes place 10 in receipt of ap-
plications for tickets indicating a
large attendance from out Of town.
Chicago, Denver, New Orleans and
even New York and other cities farth-
est east will be represented at the
ringside.
The outlook is for a large amount
Of money to be wagered on the re-
suit Of the contest. Jefrries will
naturally rule a heavy favorite in
the betting and the only question is
one Of odds-at present 2 to 1. Cor

Ter purchaser wants a small ring, so
as to allow room for a finger full of
diamonds and other gems.
when you talk about style in we'd
ding rings you are talking about
something that does not exist. The
station In life determines 1t all. Per-
haps the most common and most
prevalent variety in the past few
years at least, is that about three
tenths Of an inch in width and weigh
ing six pennyweigbt.
"Of late years it has become the
custom, and the custom is growing,
for both parties to marriage to
wear the ring. and this accounts for
the increase in the number made and
sold. Probably out of this 100000
rings sold from $1,000 to $4,000 are
worn by men.
when a man buys a wedding ring
he usually means business, and when
he buys an engagement ring, we'll
well-he may mean anything. And
where one man may buy a dozen en-
gagement rings, usually one wedding
ring is enough for him. How this
overplus Of engagement rings COM
pares with the breach of promise
suits I can not say"

hope that their faith would be re-
stored. rs
Three arbiters were selected-two
Protestant ministers and a Roman
Catholic priest. The clergymen- met
every day for a week, spending four
hours each day in their delibera-
lions. They were driven about the
stock yards and shown the labor
performed by the engineers. They
spent much time looking into the
affairs of the company against which
the strike was in effect. When theft
decision was made it aroused more
Indignation among the workingmen
than had the decision Of the board
in the gas strike.
The engineers demanded 37A cents
an hour and a 10-hour day. A COM
parativs table Of wages paid to other
artisans was before the ministers
None of Chicsgo's skilled union men
receive less than IS cents an hour
or work longer than 10 hours day.
The preachers and priest decided that
the requirements Of the packing yards
were such that the engineers should
work IL and IL hours per day, sew
en- days in the week. They asserted
that If the packers were forced to
employ more men 20 that added
shifts" would reduce the working
hours and would be hardship to
the packers.
They decided that the wages Of the
engineers should be 80 cents an hour
g cents per hour less than is paid
hod carriers. With the report the
three clersymen presented bills for
services rendered, $50 for hotel ex-
penses and $1,000 for stenographers.
They asked the unions to pay one
half Of the total sum. The unions
voted to allow the ministers 80 cents
an hour apiece-the wage they fixed
for the engineers. Each clergyman
was paid $14.40. These and similar
experiences have largely destroyed
the confidence of the union laborer
In arbitration.
A few more doses of this sort of
arbitration will entirely kill union
labor's faith in the principle and
labor and capital will be in the same
position they were before strikes
were settled by means Of concilia-
tory conferences instead Of by force,
which in plain English means fire,
bloodshed and starvation.

notable that the majority OF the
prominent pugilistic experts favor the

be found the opinions Of the promi-
nent fighters on the result of the
battle.

expect Corbett to give him a hard
fight.
"Kid" McCoy-Corbett will be
beaten again by Jeffries. The latter
is too strong and also too stiff a
puneher for him.
Tom Sharksy--Corbett is liable to
beat Jeffries this time. Corbett is
in such great shape that his condi-
ton will help him greatly.
Peter Maher--Corbett has no
chance Of defeating yefrries. Jeffrias
beat him before and he will do so
again.

ton and his wonderful science will
probably assist him in securing the
decision on points.

CHICAGO, Aug. l1.-That union
labor, or at least the great portion
of it in Chicago, has no very exalt-
ed opinion of the virtues of arbitra-
ton has been fully exemplifled in a
number of recent strikes. That this
Ia so Is due entirely to the arbitra-
tors. 1t is not the principle Of ar
bitration that the workers object, but
to the strange ideas sometimes held
by the arbitrators.
Not long ago the gas trust had a
strike on with its inspectors. The
merits of the case were of no great
moment to the public further than
to cause apprehension lest the sup
ply Of city gas be endangered. Pub
lie opinion was invoked for arbikra-
ton. A board was appointed and
the cause of the strike review ed.
Several members of the board were
union men. A decision was adopted
and the representatives of the COM
pany were permitted to prepare. the
final report.
1t was a caustic criticism Of labor
unions and went SO far as to de-
nounce the union members Of rthe
board. One of the declarations In
the report was that no strikes
should ever be allowed to occur in
the plants of utilities that serve the
public. Another was that labor has
no right to organize unless its en-
ployers approve of the organization.
This decision was unfortunate, but a
still more unpopular one followed.
The unions were unwilling to try
further arbitration. They refused
to listen to the regular board formed
by the merchants denied lawyers ad-
mission to their councils and de-
nounced arbitration as an instru-
ment designed to entrap them.
Their wavering faith in mediatory
bodies was all but gone when some
one proposed arbitration in a strike
