conclusively shown by the bulletins of

the wage worker has grown faster than
the cost of living, and this in spite Of
the continual shortening of working
hours, The accumulated savings of
the workingmen of the country, as
shown by the deposits in the savings

Spirit of Economy"

The expenditures of the nation have
been managed in a spirit of economy as
far removed from waste as from mig
gardliness: and in the future every ef-
fort will be continued 10 secure an
economy as strict as Is consistent with
efficiency. Once more our opponents
have promised what they cannot or
should not perofrm. The prime reason
why the. expenses of the government
have increased of recent years is TO be
found in the fact that the people. after
mature thought, have deemed il wise
to have certain new forms of work for
the public undertaken by the public
This necessitates such expenditures, for

CITY ENGINEER RESIGNS
Federal Authorities Decide That He Is
 Holding Too Many Positions.

w. s. Thompson yesterday rendered his resignation as city engineer, the resignation to. take effect Monday April 4.
 The resignation follows the filing of complaint against MT. Thompson with the federal authorities. In the com plaint it was charged that lhe city en- cineer was violating a section of the civil service rules in holding a munich pal position and at the same time hold ing an office under the civil service.
 This contention the Washington au- thorities have sustained and as re- suit MT. Thompson has been forced to sitions, and s ,h. city ~'uce d .es not oay over $150 a year, while tAe federal position brings salary of $500, Mir. Thompson has very naturally decided to surrender the municipal office.
 The resignation was placed in the hands of w. c. Foster, city assessor, and acting city recorder. It will b. acted upon by the common council at the meeting to be held the first Mon day in April. There is nothing definite as to who his successor will be.
 MT. Thompson was appointed 10 the position of city engineer during the month of June last year Since that time' he designed the official system of numbering houses which was adopted by the common council at it's last meet ing.
 The federal position which caused the trouble is that of draughtsman in the office of the surveyor general MT. Thompson has been in the surveyor generals office for fifteen months and about three months ago was appoint ed to the position of foreman of the mineral division which position he now holds.
 The complaint against Mir Thompson was signed by a. firm of attorneys. The presumption Is that they were acting for some person or persons who have a real or imagined grudge against MT. Thompson, though the name of the person or persons has never been made public.
 The federal authorities in passing up on the complaint say that under an executive order issued in 1877, and nev- CT repealed, it is forbidden that a draughtsman in the surveyor generals office shall at the same time hold any municipal position. Under this ruling | it became necessary for MT. Thompson to resign either one or the other of the | two offices.

WHAT! COURT ON GOOD FRIDAYa
Late Col. Gabe Bouck's Rebuke to a
 Milwaukee Judge.

An interesting figure passed away a few days ago at Oskosh, Wis, in the person of Colonel Gabe Bouck. He was of a type nearly distinct. If he had lived in the south his manner and peculiar ideas would have made him a foremost figure. He had the physique of an Indian model and the dignity of whole bench of the judiciary.
 He was desc ended from early settlers in New York state. The Bouck estate consists of about 800 acres in Schoharie county. Colonel Bouck's brother Chas. lives upon the property still.
 Apropos to the Lenten season the following story is recalled of Colonel Bouck:
 He was trying an important case in the circuit court at Milwaukee. The judge was noted for his arbitrary rul- ings. Growing weary of the case. he broke in uIon Colonel Bouck by crder- ing an adjournment.
 Until what day" inquired the the abruptress of the court.
 Make it next Friday" replied the judge, addessing his remark to th. clerk.
 Colonel Bouck was always a strict churchman and he had the church cal endar days on his fingers ends.
 Next Friday is Good Friday" said Colonel Bouck in a voice that was heard throughout the room.
Arizona republican., 1904-03-19


 That makes no difference to this court" said the judge. we shall hear the case on that day"
 "If you do," quickly retorted Colonel Bouck in a solemn and measured tone. you will break Q record that has stood through the Christian era. Pom tius Pilate is the only other judge who held court on Good Friday,
 It is recalled that the Judge Wllted. and although he did not order the change from the bench the record was changed before the court adjourned.
 Colonel Bouck was az interesting in the camp as he was at the bar and in society. II was in command of the Eighteenth Wisconsin infantry during the civil war. Che day member of his staff announced that a certain New Jersey regiment was putting on airs over the Wisconsin boys.
 What for?" asked Colonel Bouck.
 "Oh, six of those Jerseyitcs got con verted and were baptised yesterday by the chaplain"
 "The blank you say" said Colonel Bouck, and then, turning to his adju- tant, he said, in the strictest military manner: "Adjutant, detail twelve men for baptism tomorrow morning. I am not going to have that blank New Jersey regiment get ahead of the Eighteenth Wisconsin"

 It contained the alleged criminals name and address on Twenty-fourth went to the address given, taking po- 1lceman Minns with him, and found there John Burke, who the detective says, has served terms in prison for robbery Burke told him Lanning lived there. While they were talking Lanning ran quickly down stairs and made a dash to gain his liberty. He was out and away before Stinger knew what had happened. Minns, who was standing outside, started in pursuit, and, after running four blocks, over took Ianning.
 Lanning and Burke were taken to the police station and the house was searched. The greater part of the stolen goods was found there. the fur boa being hidden in the cellar. After Acting Captain of Detectives Tate questioned them, Lanning denied any connection with the robbery. Detec- tive Tate said he was satisfied, after examining Burke. that he had no hand In the robbery. The prisoners will be given a hearing at the city hall.-Phila- delphia Public Ledger.

EXPENSIVE PRACTICAL JOKE.
Hand Organ Couldn't Be Had at a
 Nominal Price.

A practical joker who endeavored to get in his fine work on a friend who was about to hold a reception at his home. thought it would be a good joke to get a hand organ and masquerade as an Italian organ grinder, thereby in- terrupting the merry gathering. Af- ter accosting several organ grinders on the street. offering them a dollar for the use of their organ on certain ev- ening, and being refused in every in stance, he concluded he was working the wrong lines. The organ grinders would shake their heads thinking pos sibly that he intended to steal their or gan. The thought struck him that he might be successful in making a tour of the Bowery, which he did. He came across a place on the third floor of a ramshackle building near Chatham square, where he observed hundreds of organs of all sizes and makes.
 1T wish to hire an organ for a few hours" he said, mentioning the date. "How much do you charger"
 The proprietor eyed him with suspi- cion. and replied: Three dollars"
 will you pay the eXpressage?" he inquired.
 The proprietor replied in the mega tive. The expressage would be fifty cents each way and this would amount to s4, which the joker thought YVES rather dear, but he was willing to pay it.
 "A deposit of s15 is necessary" said the proprietor.
 The joke didn't come off.-New York Evening Post.

PREMATURE INSTALLATIONS.
One Reason Why Many Mining Enter
 prises Fail

In former years, when the science of mining was less thoroughly understood than at present, there seemed an ex- cuse for prematurely building reduc- ton plant at an undeveloped mine; but in these days there seems little 10 justify such a mistaken step, yet this is of frequent occurrence, says the Mining Scientific Press.
 Prospects are taken up by corpora tions at the suggestion of promoters, and, although the property may have only limited development, and while there still exists great uncertainty as to the amount and value, as well as the character of the ore which may be developed in the future. great smelters and mills are built at a cost too often reaching into hundreds of thousands of dollars, when one-fourth of this amount legitimately expended in the development of the mine may show the uselessness of the plant. for the reason that it Is unsuited to the ore, if, fortu- nately. there be ore to treat.
 In some instances a successful man finds himself embarrassed through having accepted position with a con- cern presumed to be responsible, but without having first made inspection of the property. In such instances the unlucky superintendent may find he has a large shelter or mill to supply and no mine to furnish the ore. In another case he may find abundance of ore. but of a character requiring a wholly different equipment than that which has been provided. In a third instance, and probably the most usual of these cases, he finds abundance of N,.o .l txIa value to make it possible to derive profit from its operation. Fortunate ly, such cases are becoming more and more rare, as experience in mining ac- cumulates; but. such instances still oc- cur. Sometimes they are the result of interruptions promotions, but more frequently are because of the overcon- fidence of the owners, or the inexperi- ence of the superintendent.
 The man who has once put up mill before getting his mine can be pretty surely counted upon not to do so again. The world sneers at him; his friends laugh at him; but some sym pathiZe with him. His eagerness, op- timism and energy are needed to help the world along. But the loss, chagrin and humiliation which he suffers are such bitter lessons that he is liable to be too cautious rather than too rash in the future.
 Mine owners and mine buyers are beginning to understand that the es- timation of the amount of payable ore in fairly developed mine is no longer guess work, and tha tit pays in the long run to have their mines carefully, patiently, faithfully sampled-and this by disinterested persons, too-assay plans made, and the tonnage estimated therefrom by competent mining engi- neers before the erection of flworks. In the same way that insurance is found to pay-by protection against the changes of loss-so in mining it pays to cut the ore up into blocks by levels and winzes, even though the cost be considerable, and have 1t thoroughly | sampled.
