Lessons for Workingmen.
From Leslie's Weekly

American workingmen should take to
heart the lesson to be derived from the re-
port of the commission of British working
men who visited this country some months
ago to investigate Industrial conditions.
The delegates differ widely on many points
but they are unanimous in two conclusions,
namely, that the British workman has moth
ing to learn from the American workman,
while British employers are not far ad-
vanced the Americans in the treatment
of their employees. Mr.. Alfred Moseley, who
brought the delegates here. says that the
American workman has a far better edu-
cation. lis infinitely better paid, housed.
fed and clothed, and, moreover, Is much
more sober than the British While all
this has been known and realized before by
competent observers. 1T is good to have
such testimony from such source. 1t
ought to lead American workingmen to
adopt kindlier and more conciliatory atti-
tude toward their employers than many of
them have done. The American employer
is in closer, more sympathetic touch with
his workmen for the simple reason that he
is generally man who has risen from the
ranks of workingmen himself

JUDGE WILCOX OF HAWAII.
His Death Regarded as a Great Loss
to the Islands

Judge William Luther Wilcox, who died
July IL In Honolulu. was of the most
eminent men in the Hawaiian Islands 1t
is said that he WAS judge whom all
Hawaiians loved. When the cable report
of hts death was received in this country
the mistake was made of supposing it was
the former Delegate Robert w. Wilcox
VINO had died, and elaborate biographies
of the latter were printed.
Judge Wilcox was born July s, 1853 at
Waioli, Kauai. His parents were Mr.. and
Mrs. Abner Wilcox, who came to Hawaii
among the early missionaries They were
not missionaries, however but Abner Will
COX missionary teacher.
William was sent to Punahou College,
remaining there for two years-1sG1 and
1865 Then word came of the death of his
parents and the boy Immediately de-
termined to earn his own living. He was
almost perfect in his knowledge OF the
Hawaiian language. and he naturally turn
ed to that when thrown upon his own re-
sources.
He secured the appointment Of interpre-
ter in the courts and could have remained
there all his life if he had so wished
From the courts he went to the Legislature
and was Interpreter for many sessions, be-
tween times assisting the courts.
He appointed police judge under the
local law in 1891, having been deputy un-
der Judge Perry previously. He has Occu
pied the position of magistrate continuous
ly ever since. He was merciful as we'll as
just. Even those he sent to prison loved
him. He was a staunch defender OF the
fair sex and little mercy shown to
those who abused women When possible
he settled family disputes which otherWi
would have ended in the divorce court. In
all his long career on the bench Judge
Wilcox made but few enemies and not
only throughout the islands will his death
be felt as a severe loss but even those
who had the misfortune to have been
judged by him will miss him.
Judge wilcox was married about ten
years ago to Kahula, highly respected
Hawaiian woman, whose home on
Molokat. She survives him. There are no
children.
Judge Wilcox was also engaged In the
manufacture Of poi. and his place in kalihi
was a model institution of It's kind. He
was also enthusiastic yachtsman, and
1t was upon some of these yachting cruises
that he became famous story teller.
w. r. Castle, who was his lifelong
friend, said of him:
LAS judge of facts and for putting
the real weight to the effenses of people
brought before him in their proper posi-
ton he almost unequaled. He was
possessed OF a humane and tender ma
ture, though perhaps often his language
rough. Up to the very last he did
what he could both officially and privately
to benefit the Hawaiian people. He was
not in favor OF making them objects of
charity or of pauperizing the people, but
he wanted to give them opportunity to
become manly and to put them in posi-
ton to earn a straightforward, honest
livelihood instead of becoming mere hang
ers-On
His death will be a great loss to the
community, and a great loss to that par
ticular position in the Honolulu police
him with man so we'll able to deal with
the lower life of Honolulu"

DIFFICULTIES IN MARRIAGE.
Caucasian Lover Must Buy His Bride
or Prepare for Vendetta.
From the London Telegraph

From the London Telegraph.
In the northern Caucasus nearly half the
death rate of the Inhabitants is caused by
vendetta, and at least three-fourths of the
vendetta cases are the result of q curious
marriage custom which is now decimina ting
the population. The native of those parts
who wishes to take unto himself wife can
not arrange the matter in the simple, off
hand manner in vogue in western Europe
by popping the question" He must go
home, sell his belongings and buy her fairly
and squarely Of her parents, the price rang
ing from f35 to 600.
This is costly custom in many ways
for it is not every young man who can af
ford to invest such large sum for wife,
however accomplished. What generally
happens in such cases is that the INDECENT
candidate for the order Of Benedict induces
a few stalwart comrades to seize the
maiden and carry her Off. What too often
follows then may be gathered from a case
in point, which has just taken place in
Sosslambek Bokayeff is the bridegroom's .

sixteen who had the misfortune to find
favor in his eyes. His pockets being empty
he persuaded three comrades to kidnap the
maid, whom he then took off to another
village his wife But her father on dscov-
ering her whereabouts. had her sent back by
the police, and then demanded f3O for the
loss of her services, as we would say.
Bokayeff, to whom the demand was made,

would not or could not pay. The girls
father thereupon claimed that sum from the
bridegrooms s companions, who were equally
liable. They admitted the justice OF his
claim and called upon Bokayef to hand
shot him dead. that being the custom of the
country, although dagsers were also allow
ed to take the place of bullets. The three
youths We're forthwith arrested and will, or
But that, far from being the end OF the
matter, is only the very beginning. The
kindred of the slain man are now preparing
to wipe OUT the relatives of the muir

girl is bound by the custom of the country
to wash away the stain her reputation
in the blood of the clans Of both the muir
Gered man and his murderers And Russian

A Thirty-Two-Wheel Car.
From the Engineering Record.


private car has recently been built by
the Bethlhem Steel Company for Its own
use. The company is supplying some very
large castings for 2.O0O ton forging press
for the Carnegie Steel Company. and this
car is for their transportation. Both iron
and steel castings are being supplied. some
of the later being of extraordinary size
One Of them requires about 325 600 pounds
of steel and sixty forty ton open hearth
furnaces are employed to provide the metal
for It,
This car has sixteen wheel trucks con-
nected by bridge trusses. 66 feet 10 inches
long and feet deep at the center. The
distance between the king bolts is "a feet.
The car is 103 feet 1O11 inches long over
the couplers, 10 feet "a inches high and 8
feet o inches wide. 1t weighs 198,42O
pounds, and has a rated capacity of 10000
pounds The largest car hitherto con-
structed was probably that used by the
Pennsylvania railroad for transporting a
Krupp gun to the Columbian exposition. 1t
also had thirtytwo wheels. but its rated
capacity was somewhat less than that Of
the new car.

Counterfeit Art.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The Archaeological who was chosen some
time ago to determine the authenticity OF
the tiara Of Soitapharnes. supposedly
precious relic of the Louvre collection. re-
ported that the tiara was not authentic and
that 1t was executed by a Russian artist OF
the name Of Roukhomorsky. The French
government paid $4,000 for the tiara. and
would probably be willing at present to sell
it at large discount
While nobody over here is likely to WISH
the French government any special harm,
1t must be more or less gratifying TO some
Of the Americans who have paid big prices
for spurious works of art to be able to
smile at the expense of people who are sup
posed to know all about art and relics and
such things. 1t Is claimed by experts that
not more than about one in ten OF the
Raphaels scattered through Europe is
genuine, and If 1t is SO with the Raphaels
the probabilities are that very large per-
centage Of the so-called examples of the
other masters are counterfeit.

MEET MR.. ROOSEVELT.

The Colorado & Southern has come to
the front with rate for Clear Greek pat
rons that amounts to less than half fare.
There is no reason why we should not have
a special train on the occasion of the visit
of the president to Denver 1t will mean
that you can witness the largest assemblage
ever seen in the Capitol city and arrange
ments are being made so that there will be
no trouble in seeing or hearing the presi-
dent and his party.
Everyone should turn out to greet the
chief executive of the nation. Laying all
politics aside he is our president. He is
western in character. He is the type of
American the people can take pride in and
it is, indeed, an honor to great nation. to
have for its chief executive a man who is
in every sense an American and a man
against whom the breath of scandle has
never been directed.
Let Idaho Springs have splendid repres-
entation at Denver. 1t would be well if as
many of the school children as possible
could go for it means great deal to them.
It impresses upon them lesson in govern
ment that will never be erased and helps to
fit them for better citizenship.
With the rates offered and everything
else so favorable there is no reason why
the day should not be employed as a holiday
for the people and the schools. One day of
observation would do more than the same
day at the desks in the school rooms.

GOLDEN WANTS THE TOURNAMENT.

1t begins to look now as if Golden and
Silver Plume would be contestants for the
honor of holding the district fremen' s tour
ment during the coming summer. Both
places made their bid the same week through
their papers and it is probable that both
places would like to have the exhibition.
Silver Plume has always succeeded in
showing everyone good time with her
tournaments and it is probable that she
would be in a position to show everyone a
good time who attended this year.
On the other hand Golden is in line
it is close to Denver, it has always patron
lied the other tourn aments and has asked
but little in the past. So far as the county
line is concerned it makes little difference
Golden is just as good a neighbor and we
feel just as proud of her down the road
across the county line as we would were she
inside these imaginary limits.
Siftings would be pleased to hear that
the two places had gotten together and ar
ranged everything so that either one or the
other of them gave the tournament This
is the best plan to pursue.

COPPER AROUND GRAND LAKE.

Quite little excitement has been occas-
ioned here as the result of news of the big
strike of native copper twelve miles from
Grand Lake. Parties who have seen the
product and brought samples to Denver
with them claim that in connection with
the new process the great veins of that sec
ton will form a new Eldorado for the
miner.
1t is always better to investigate these
matters before placing large amount of
cash in a prospecting outfit, but the ap-
pearance of the samples taken would indi-
cate that something decidedly valuable to
Colorado had been encountered.
At the present time there are but three
places in the state where the claim has
been made that native copper could be
found One of these places is at Brook
vale, in this county, the other in the White
horn section near Salida, and the last in the
vicinity of Grand Lake.
There is little reason for doubt that the
new section opened by the Moffatt line will
become one of the vast productive areas of
Colorado. If it can furnish the copper and
iron it will certainly enhance the interests
of Colorado materially. And Clear Creek
county will not suffer for it joins lines with
Grand and the other great sections tribu-
tary to the proposed Moffatt road.
There is no reason why a greater amount
of attention should not be paid to the
known deposits in the vicinity of Brook
vale in Clear Creek county. As a rule
copper is bi-product, found in contact
with the other precious metals but in the
case of the three exceptions there is reason
to believe that the native stuff can be mined
and with development and the proper ap-
plication of capital it is not improbable that
Colorado, strange as it may appear, will
become one of the greatest copper produc-
ing states, aslwell as one of the greatest
gold and silver producing states in the un-
ion.
