Danger In Early Rising.

All the spiritual descendants of San
cho Panza, that finest eulogist of
slumber, should bless the name of DR..
Se1den Talcott of New York. DR.. Tai
colt is specialist in mental diseases.
and he declares that the habit of ear
ly rising conduces to madness. 1.-The
free and lazy savage" he says. gets
up when he feels ready and rarely or
never becomes insane" Dr. Talcott's
protest should be considered carefully
by his fellow cohntrymen, who, even
more than the British. pride themselves
on their active habits. Recently, we
believe. there has been founded In New
York society whose members pledge
themselves not to take more than four
hours sleep in the twenty-four. 1t
would be interesting to follow the
health and life histories of those who
keep this pledge For we do not sun
pose that there is anything dangerous
in early rising in itself. but only in the
combination Herewith of going to bed
late.
On the whole. 1t is better to obey the
old proverb and go to bed with the
lamb and get up with the lark" But
1t is a different thing when one COM
bines the attempt to fulfill the latter
part of the advice with a habit of 60
ing to bed with the nightingale. Yet
the increasing strain of business COM
pels early rising In those who would
succeed. while If they want to COM
bine pleasure with business they Will
hnd 1t impossible to get to bed before
midnight or even then, for our amuse-
ments seem to begin and end later
every year. The energetic people who
go In for this fashion of life are ant to
assure others, and themselves also
mat they do not require much sJeen
and undoubtedly it is possible with
practice to do with much less than the
normal amount of rest. 1t is impor-
tant. however. to remember that such
habit cannot be INDUCED In without
corresponding sacrifice of health.

THE COPPER SHARE MARKET.

Investors are awakening to a reaii- ration of the fact that the best bar gains to be had at current prices are the better class of copper stocks trad ed in on the Boston market. They now recognize that they have watched Amalgamated too much and others too Little. Two years ago Wolverine sold down 10 43, Mohawk to .27 and Utah to 19 at time when Amalgamated was quoted to 10 points higher than at present. Most traders refused to buy the former stocks because they were afraid Amalgamated would de- cline farther. It did not decline; but 1t didn't prevent rise of 30 points in Wolverine. 15 points in Mohawk and 20 points in Utah. If it declines again it will not prevent several good cop per stocks from advancing in market price as their increased production and earnings warrant. Investors are coming to understand this. and are buying Utah, Bingham, Mohawk. Osceola, Copper Range, Winona, Cen ,ennial, Shannon, Victoria and other good copper stocks. The present prospect is that prices will recover to the level where the merits of the cop pers entitle them to sell, and that will be considerably higher than they are now selling.

Sonora Enterprise in Which Phoenix
 People are Interested.

Sonora Enterprise in Which Phoenix
 People are Intlerested.
 w. R. Layne of Cananea was here yesterday for the first time in his life though he has been in the southwest for some years, says the Phoenix Re publican. He is very much pleased with Phoenix and his first impress sions were made particularly good by the fact that his mission was a busi- ness one and it was very successful.
 Mir. Layne is president of the Queen Gold, Mining Co.," a1 Arizona corpora ton whose property is in the Picacho district about twenty-six miles from Cananea. It is known as the San Mi guel mine The district gets it's name from the Picacho mine owned by the Phelps-Dodge Co. and of which much has been written, the San Miguel being not far from it. The district is a new one comparatively speaking. and there has been quite a rush there for a year or so. The San Miguel was located a couple of years ago by Mir. LayBo and about 5000 in gold las been spent ID its development. About 206 feet Of work has been done. acJ ih, ere as- says all the way from SIS :o s2oo gold.
 The company was organized about a year ago with a capital stock of $3,- GOO 900. par value of shares s10. and nre-third of the capital stock was set aside for the treasury. Ira D. Reedy of Cananea, formerly of Phoenix, and who is here now convalescing from an attack of pneumonia, is vice president of the company Mir Layne's visit was to interest number of Phoenlx people 10 whom MT. Reedy has previ- ously spoken, and his mission was ac- compiished in few hours after his ar rival. The company is now in good fnanc.ai condition and development will be continued.

Hartman to Be
 Railroad Czar
GIGANTIC CONSULTATION OF SANTA FE, ALToN AND ES- PEE SYSTEMS SAID TO BE THE PURPOSE cr
 THE GREAT
 MAGNATE.

Chicago, July Lit is reported to- day on what seems to be excellent au- tharity that a change in control of the Santa Fe is imminent. This report comes in connection with the recent changes in the Southern Pacific and may held to explain the resignations of Edwin Hawley and H. E. Hunting ton. IL may may also help to explain the proposed very large increase m Southern Pacific preferred stock, and the failure of the directo;s b extend the changes are applied.
 It is stated that before the end of the year the Santa Fe will be a Southern Pacific property and the two systems will be operated in closest harmony and practically as integral parts of one system. This will be but carrying out to its logical conclusion the community of interest idea. which appears to have taken fresh lease of life and again to have become the most prominent feature in the rail road world.
 Change in control of the Santa Fe does not constitute the entire plan as at present contemplated and which is now being rapidly worked out. The Chicago & Alton is also involved. It will be remembered that not long ago the security holders of this road were invited to deposit their stock in tho hands of trustees. preparatory @ a possible sale of the property. It is said that the prospective purchaser IS the Union Pacific and that the Alton will shortly become the Chicago end of that system from Kansas City. The probability of such an absorption has long been discussed and it's entire practicabiltiy has always been appar- ent.
 These changes would bring the Southern. Central and Union Pacific, the Santa Fe.- Alton, Kansas City Southern, the Oregon Short Line un- der one control and would make the E. H. Hartman system of railroads by far the largest in the country, ire spective altogether of the indirect in- fluence exercised by the Hartman in- terests on what is known as the Hill group Of roads.

 T1coma, Wash, June 30.-Indica- tions increase that the Chicago. Mil waukee & St. Paul Railway is prepar- ing to build from South Dakota to Puget Sound within two years. Agents have purchased four hundred acres of terminal grounds on racoma tide lands. Smaller purchases of tide lands have been made at Seattle and Portland.
 President Buckingham of the Ia coma Eastern, would not deny today that an option on his line had been given to the St Paul road. In March, President Earling. of the St Paul road, spent two days in con ference with John Bagley, manager and builder of the Tacoma Eastern
 Northwest mmbermen have been urging President Earling and Chair man Miller to extend their road to the coast. pointing out that they would se- tcuhe, to start with, Lumber traffic of at least thirty thousand carloads an- nually. It is believed that the St. Paul will reach Portland over the Hartman line from Snake River ter ritory, and will build a line from Columbia River to Puget Sound. which may be jointly used by the St. Paul and Hartman systems.

Eminent Lawyer
 DiSSeCtS Platform
WALTER h. PEckHAM DECLARES TARIFF PLANK IS A "CHEAT AND A sWINDLE"-TRUck- LING TO POPULAR SEM
 TiMENT IN ONE OR
 TWO CASES.

New York, July 1.-In discussion of the Republican platform adopted al Chicago. Wheeler H. Peckham, the emineit lawyer and independent Demo crat. declared that the tariff plank was a cheat and swindle" and that pretty much the entire platfrom was "a spacious attempt to claim all the virtue and good in the country MT. Peckham is strongly of the opinion that such a platform will make it comparatively easy for the Demo crats to assume a strong position II they will take advantage of the.r op- portunity and play up the tariff is- sue.
 The leading issue,' he said, ''is the tariff and the domination and power of the monopolistic capital as against the rights of the people. That is the issue I would make if l were managing the campaign or writ ing the platform. The tariff is re- sponsible for all the vicious trusts, which iniuriously affect competition, and raise prices to the people. The republican party is the party of cap italistic monopoly.
 Revision of the tariff by its friends means no revision. What could be more absurd? It is a mere claptrap, and is without particle af sincerity. The whole tariff system is system of plumber. The policy condemns itself when you see our protected manu- lecturers are selling to foreign buyers much cheaper than at home I would suggest a law winch would at once re- move the duty from certain articles where it is not a revenue but solely protection"
 What do you think Of the tIEst plank of the Republican platform?''
 The Republican party has been trucking to popular sentiment in one or two cases and has made Q great pretense of destroying trusts, while in reality it has done nothing. It does not mean to do anything"
 How about the plank declaring for in Congress and of the Southern cleo toral vote on account Of the disfran- chisement of the negroes"
 T do not, believe in stirring up sec 'ional feeling again. The race ques- tion will solve itself if the politicians will let it alone"
 What effect do you think MT. Reosevelt's acton on the Panama canal will have?"
 Il think the methods used were out rageous. But you cannot stir up a people over a nations crimes Of that sort"
 Do you think that the charge that he has overriden the Constitution and usurped the power of Congress will tell against him?''
 Tt is hard to make an issue out of an abstraction. To be sure, he issued the pension order, which, without ever having investigated the matter deeply, have been impressed was a great wrong"
 Do you think MT Roosevelt will be strong candidate?"
 He will be strong with the. cow boy element. By that l do not mean alone the men on horseback, but all men of that spirit. He will be pretty strong in the West"
 Mir Peckham was inclined to think that the conservative business inter- ests would fight shy of him, as given to rashness and impetuosity. He said: The Democrats should name a strong affirmative candidate. who can go into the campaign and make an aggressive fight until election day."

MEDIAN AGE OF PEOPLE.

A census bulletin just issued, presenting and
discussing the age statistics of the United States,
brings out important facts and makes valuable de-
auctions from them These are the more entitled
to serious consideration because the ages of the
population of the continental United States were
ascertained more accurately in 1900 than in any
previous census
1t appears that the median age of the aggregate
population that Is the age which exactly divides
the population into halves 22.S5 years at the
opening of the twentieth century. In 1900 the
medan age was determined at 1891 and since 1920
it has increased the average By two-thirds of
year each decade. In cities of over $4,000 inhabit
ants the medan age is about three and half years
higher than that in smaller communities and rural
states and low in South Atlantic and South Central
states while in the North Central states it approx
mates that of the country as whole. The average
age for the whole population in 1900 was slightly
higher than the median age, or 26,2 years
Three-ffths of the population of the Union on
this continent III the productive age group"
that is, between the ages of Is and so. This is
larger percentage of the population than is found
i'll the same group i'll European countries. The rea-
country of large numbers of foreign-born adults
Among the natives of the United States the show
ing is very different. Only Holland and the Scan
dinavian countries have small a proportion of
their population in the productive age group" as
Is found in the native white population of this
country.
The number of centenarians reported, grossly
exaggerated in the returns" according to the Bull
letin, Is particularly exaggerated among iliterates
Except among persons of advanced years however,
the tendency was toward understatement of age
rather than exaggeration. Among the negroes this
tendency was strongest and it was more marked
among foreign born than native whites.

JOAN OF ARCS SPIRIT.

Once again Joan of Arc may save France from
her enemies, this time the enemies being, not the
English invaders, but those III her own household.
Think of the professor of Condercet college, Paris,
going out of his way to cast slurS, even grave i'm
putations on the personal character and virtue of
the Maid of Orleans And this too, when the vast
majority of French people preparing to honor
her as only those are honored whose virtue has been
proved heroic and whose character was super-hu-
man. Joan of Arc was national characters and
apart entirely from her saintiness deserves eternal
honor from France But Satanic hatred of the
church blinded Professor Thalamas to her grandeur
as a national figure in French history, and he
sneered at her purity. To the honor of French
manhood, we are told that thousands of boys, stu
dents at different colleges, and headed by dele
CATION from Condercet college ITSELF at once rose
to their feet and marched through the streets of
Paris behind white banners with Jeanne dArc's
name thereon in letters of gold and carrying lilies,
symbolic of her purity.
The women of Paris, never behind in public
spirtedness, covered the statue of the Maid of Or
leans in the Place Rvoli, and her great statue by
Dubois at st. Augustine's church. with wreaths of
flowers.

of Paris and around the Chamber of Deputies But
Thaamas had fed from the city frightened by the
storm he had raised when he limited that La Pucelle
was not the handmade of God III His merciful care

All this happened last week and many members
of the senate and chamber of deputies and munich
pal councillors also took part, glad of opportun
ty to voice their opposition to the anti Christian
policy of the Combes cabinet.-New York Free
