Slightly of Late.

The worlds production of copper.
which has shown an increase of 49,. 3
per cent In the l5 years since 1883,
and which has almost exactly doubled
in the IL years since 1891, has shown
in the last three years more modcr
ate growth. For ten or twelve years
the average increase each year was
between aud 10 per cent, but last
year IL was only l.. per cent, rs
compared with 1902.
We give on another page the esti-
mate prepared by Messrs. Henry X.

experience and acquaintance with the
trade give them exceptional facilities
for collecting statistics aud estimat-
ing quantities where necessary. The
figures pcrepared by them are gener-
ally accepted as very close approx
nations to absolute correctness. For
the past year they have used for the
United States the output as collected
and estimated by the Engineering and

bordination by Payne.
Washington. Nov. 16.-John d.
Brownlow of Tennessee, a clerk in the
postoffice department. who acted as
disbursing officer of the department of
the st. Louis exposition. was dismissed
from the service Tuesday by order of
the president. Brownlow was charged
with impertinence and characterization,
and, as he declined to withdraw Often
sive language, the dismissal followed.
While Postmaster General Payne was
yet alive he wrote Brownlow directing
that he send to the department a state
ment of his receipts and disbursements.
In response Brownlow. forwarded the
aggregate sums of his receipts and
disbursements. The postmaster gener-
al then ordered him to submit to the
department an itemized statement OF
moneys he had handled. This Brown
low declined to do, accompanying his
refusal with statements to the post
master general which were considered
offensive.
Postmaster General Pyne presented
the matter to the president, who gave
orders that Br- willow should be dis
missed from the service. This action
has just been taken.

largest Rapid Transit Tunnel.

New York, with her rapid transit
tunnel, will soon be boasting of
a new wonder of the modernized
world. 1t is the longest of the un-
foreground roads, having total dis
lance of 22 as miles. The London
"tuDpenny tube" is IL miles long,
and the rattlety-bang affair in
Paris only 8 I-2, and the Berlin
underground a I-2. There are some
long tunnels in the Alps, the Simp-
Ion being IL miles long, the St.
Gothard 9 1-2, and the Mont Gents
7I-2. The famous old Hoosac
tunnel is 43-4 miles long, and is
probably the best-known railroad
tunnel in this country. Boston's
much-vaunted Subway is IL miles
in lenpth, and so will not compare
with the new subway at New York
when length is considered.

Die Rather Than Give UP.
Fusan, Nov. 16.-It is said that a
wound received by General Stoessel
has necessitated his confinement in a
hospital; that he refused to relinquish
the command of the garrison and that
he has issued orders to the troops 20
di" at their posts rather than sur

1t is said that spirit of the Russian
troops has been dampened by continu-
GUS work. the lack of supplies and the
hopelessness OF their ability to make
any successful defense OF the fortress.
IT Is said further that many of the Rus
sian soldiers are ready to surrender.
but that they have kept at their posts
by officers, who threaten them with
revolvers and that several soldiers who
were suspected of a desire to desert
have been shot as a warning to others
The Japanese now believe that the gar
rison has almost reached the limit OF
human endurance.

As December 24th draws nigh and the close of the Independents contest to determine the name of the sweetest and prettiest baby under two years of age and the right to possess and wear such a prize, locket comes nearer to hand, the zeal of friends and the interest of the community waxes warmer.
 Three of the candidates have passed the thousand mile post and are entering upon the home stretch with a slight advantage over their running mates. It so happens that all of the three are boys, but fourth place is held by Miss Dorothy Stephens, and these little masters had best keep an eye on her.
 Now most all the candidates have shown they can sprint when they want to, and just who is going to make the goal first on the home stretch is no more certain than a forecast thirty days ago. You'll just have to watch and wait to pick the win ner in this contest.
 James Edward Wilmans and Charles Jones Brandenburg have each passed another mile-post in today's vote,, which otherwise has been very light.

The home was resplendent in elaborate decorations of smilax and the hallway was particularly beautiful, the stairway being al- most hidden beneath drapings of this delicate-leafed vine.
 One room was set apart for the most dazzling array of useful, costly and pretty presents, evi- dences of the popularity of bride and groom and the number of their friends. Cut glass, china, bric-a-brac, furniture, gold and silver ware all contributed to the items.
 In the dining room carnations and smilax were used to charm ing advantage, streamers of white tulle being run from the center table to the chandelier above. The guests were served, thirty at a time, to the following choice menu in three courses: Cold turkey, chicken salad, olives and wafers; ice cream in flower forms; cake and coffee.
