and not found wanting. With labor
troubles cast to one side and the EN-
ployed and the employer walking hand

one OF the best years the section ever

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.


II Will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
cln be prevented. The FIRST sign OF
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Cham
berlains Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse. or even
after the rough cough appears. and II
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands OF mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t Is. in
fact. the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
and safe TO take. For sale by all

WIDE:OPEN

NEW YORK, Dec. 3l.-Unusual ac-
tiyity in the Tenderloin region served
as a reminder to those who strolled
that way today that change in the
administration of Greater New York
was at hand. Notorious resorts that
have been closed during the Low ad-
ministration have been refurnished
and redecorated and otherwise pre-
pared for a grand opening. When
trinity chimes ring in the New Year
tonight and also the first day of the
administration of Mayor Mcclellan
and his Tammany associates there will
be celebrations and festivities in the
region about Twenty-ninth street and
Broadway which promise to put all
performances in the shade.
The Haymarket, 1t is said, will
shine again in all its glory, and the
Tivoli, Berlin and other resorts of a
similar character that have been dark
or at least subdued for months past.
Most Interesting of all the reports sur
rent today is one to the effect that
there will be reopening OF t.te

This place has been closed ever since

Col. Demming has vast amount of
work laid out ahead.
When asked about the tin at Rico,
the colonel insisted that he knew tin
when he saw it. and said most en-
phatically that there was tin at Rico,
Notwithstanding newspaper reports TO
the contrary. He said that some OF
the samples shown him did not con-
tain tin, but that other samples did,
and this explained how it might be
that in some cases an analysis would
fail to confirm his report. He smiled
at the idea that he should not know
tin ore when he saw 1t.
This will settle the matter with the
people hereabout, for no one will be-
lieve that a scientific man of Col.
Demming's standing and long years
and wide range of experience could
fall into the error of mistaking zinc
ore for tin. The colonel has a NAM
moth laboratory at Harrisburg, Pa,
and employs the best men to be had,
doing some of the finest and most par
ticular work that is to be done. So 1t
is just as good as settled that the At
and since the Atlantic Cable has it. 1t
is more than likely that other mines
have also.
Col. Demming is continually making
collections during his travels for the
Smithsonian Institute and National
museum at Washington. All articles
sent by him are franked and go with
out postage. During his several trips
to this section he has gathered some
rare minerals which will make a val
liable acquisition to the state collec-
tion which he will send TO those insti-
tutions. He says the collection from
Colorado will be the finest and best
in every respect of any yet sent to
those institutions.
Chief among the rare minerals
which he named as having in this col
lection are Uramophane, helium, (gas)
palladium. platinum, rhodium, ruthen-
ium, radium, tin, uraninite, molybde-
mum, iradium and osmium. All but
the last two have been found in this
section. Helium, reduced to the met
al state. is worth at wholesale $25 900
pound. Molybedenum, from which
inolybdic acid is made, is worth 81
per pound. 1t has been found in the
La Platas.
The exact location of some of these
valuable minerals could not be learn
ed, as they are largely the secrets oil
the investors who employ Col. Dem
ming to find out about such things for
them.
1t may surprise many to hear that
uramophane, the mineral from which
radium is extracted. has been found
somewhere in this section and guam
titles have been shipped without the
public ever being any the wiser.
In all likelihood II prospectors were
not such financially poor class-if
they were able to have frequent an
alyses made of their ores. many of
them would find that they had some
thing as valuable as gold or silver
mine.

NEXT RULER OF GERMANY.
Crown Prince Said Not to Be Of a
Strenuous Character.

Gossip in Paris is busy with the per-

He is said to have complained, when
he was at Bonn, that his comrades did
not treat him as the emperor's son;
whereupon the emperor reminded him
that at the university he could make
himself important only by his attain
ments, not by his rank. He has no
liking for the uniform of a Prussan
lieutenant, in which he is constantly
photographed; looks like an English.
man just escaped from oxford or
Cambridge; has a pleasing, beardless
face, clear blue eyes, an easy smile
and the hesitating, resigned express
sion of his mother. At present he
seems to possess neither the philo-
sophical spirit of his grandfather, the
Emperor Frederick, nor the warlike
temper of his father. War, indeed,
has no charm for him, and when he
visited the battlefields of Alsace and
Lorraine and listened to stories of the
great struggles which made the Ger
man empire he manifested a weary
repugnance to the whole business.

Curious Combination Of Elements In
Late Great Writer.

Gdtc STedt WRITER.
II, as scientists say, heredity and
environment make the man. II was a
curious combination of elements that
entered into the making of Lafcadio
Hearn. His father, an Irish officer,
could give him the plastic Celtic tenn
permanent, its power to see visions and
dream dreams and not to take life too
seriously. His mother a Greek. could
transmit to him a passionate love of
beauty, civilized wildness, so to
speak, and a freedom from modern
conyentionality.
His environment in his early years
was Wales, England Ireland and
France, with easy opportunity for
learning the various languages. Then
his free lance was early bent by a
serious grandaunt who designed him
for the priesthood, giving him taste
of sobriety. Then fortune took him
in hand and sent him to America

into wonderful stories. He wandered
into strange bypaths in search of GU
rious lore which he reproduced with
a touch of singular enchantment.
Staid and restless by turns, he
eventually found his home in Japan.
1t was not merely accidental that he
found his wife in the orient. He was
drawn to Japan and the Japanese by
all the laws Of attraction. He loved
Japan's peculiar beauty. He appre.
ciated its art and its unique civiliza.

are pleased to call the gemuth of the
people-their latent bent and charac.
tei-and was in hearty sympathy with
II. His stories of Japanese life and
his translation from prose and poetry

to the literary few before all the
world had come to know Japan's
power by her record in the present
war.
