Of the twenty-four men named thirteen. a majority, are new men that is-they have not served on the present board. Of the officers of the com pany only resident Alexander D. Orr Is named on the administration trustees ticket' the other five officers have vol untarily offered to make room for the new men.

 James H. EclSles of Chicago, David R. Francis of St. Louis, Julius Fleschman of Cincinnati E. Wald A. Fleitman of New York, Judge Horace H. Burton of Nashville. S. M. Milliken of New York John G.

 The five officers retiring from the board are:
 Darwin P. Kingsley Thomas A. Buck ner and Rufus w. Weeks, vice presidents; William E. Ingersoll, second vice presi- dent, and Edmond Randolph, treasurer.
 Respecting the retirement of the officers from the board, the reason given Is in difference to an opinion which Is rather widely held that no officer with the ex- ception of the president ought to be a voting member of the board of trustees. The board of trustees acts upon the acts of the officers and a man who is both really passes judgment on his own acts. -

 HOW IT HAPPENED
Capture of the Challenge Cup By Bel. eians Arouses Comment as to
 Effectiveness of Stroke.

London. July 5.-The capture of the grand challenge cup at Henley by the Belgian crew representing the Club Ma tique de Gand has provoked much news paper comment and searching of heart on the debatable question of the British and foreign style of rowing. The majority of rowing men appear to still pin their faith to the Eton swing as against the Belgian's short stroke and are inclined to think that had the Leanders been able to put out a representative to defend the cup. the Belgians would have been de- feated.
 The Daily Graphic thinks the incident Is likely to accentuate the anti-foreign agitation and expresseSsthe hope that If any change is made. t- will be in the direction of providing and endowing an extra national race at Henley and look to the exclusion of foreigners. adding that if in any case the proposal of Mir. Fletcher the oxford coach, that no fur ther entries for the Henley regatta of any American rowing club be accepted. should be adopted it will be almost national calamity.

 The candidate for enlistment signs lot of papers the Doctor turns over to him and then they engage in friendly conversation, which finally drifts Into Uncle Sams military service. The Doc tor goes into the details of the horrors of army life and finally the candidate concludes he will not go in after all. Hav- ing signed the papers the Doctor de- cIares he will have to, but by paying a penalty he is released. The candidate is often glad to pay. Frequently he con cludes not to go in after all, but when he communicates with the depart ment. it knows nothing about 1t. The can- didate finds he has been duped.

AT THE TIME OF HIS TRIAL ANTI SEMITlSM REIGNED SUPREME IN MILITARY CIRCLES AND IN ALL FRANCE.

Paris, July 5.-Maitre Mornard gave a new phase to the Dreyfus proceedings to- day by cutting loose from historical de- tails and asserting that antl-semitic ha- tired had been the primary cause of mis- carriage of justice. He argued that Drey- fus had been convicted not as an individ- ual officer, but because he was Jew. Even before the charge of treason first arose, anti-semltism had reigned su preme not only in military circles but in the whole of France. The Idea of the superior officers at that time was to ex- clude Israelites from the higher military grades, the same as had been done in Ger many.

Rural Route Inspector Tells
 Carriers to Tip Hats
SIMS REGISTERS BIG KICK
Senator Morgan Will Spend Week In Staunton, Va, After Which He Will Be at Bailey
 Springs, Ala.

Washington July 5.-(Special. )-Accord- ing to Representative Sims of Tennessee. many of the inspectors of rural free de- livery routes sent out by the department here are abusing their positions and un- necessarily infieting hardshps. sometimes insults upon rural free delivery carriers.
 Mir. Sims intends taking up the mat ter with the department and Is hopeful that dismissal or two will be the result
 He is especially after an inspector in his district who has been instructing car riers in polteness to negro women. Ac- cordlng to MT. Sims he has recelved a letter from a rural carrier in his district who complains bitterly of an inspector who was along his route last week. The carrier will not allow his name to be used by MT. Sims in the form of an of ficlal complaint for fear he will lose his position MT. Sims, however, makes pub lie his letter. without the name. A part of it is us follows:
 "This inspector said the colored ladies were just worthy a smile and tip of the hat as white ones, and insisted that carriers show them that respect. We shall be glad If you will send us a true gentleman to inspect our routes."
 Sims Makes Comments.
 In discussing the matter Mir Sims says: ''I do not believe for q moment that any such conduct would be upheld by the postal authorities. l think the man would be promptly removed from the govern ment service as he ought to be. What right has a postal official from the north or elsewhere to go down south on of ficial duties and instead of attending to such duties to engage in lecture to a rural carrier on his social duties and att tentions to negro women advising and di- recting an educated and gentlemanly white man carrying the mails to tip his hat and smile to colored ladies'. No won der that such man as this finds fault with the rural service, complains of the roads and lack of boxes. He Is so en- ragged because the rural carrier With whom he had the honor to ride was not tipping his hat and smiling at all the
 women he chanced to meet that he threatened to discontinue the serviee.'

Affairs at Ludwig.

Development work is progress
ing on the 4oo-level of the Lud-
wig mine and some excellent ore
is being encountered. A ton of
cuprite ore going IS per cent. cop
per was shipped to Philadelphia
this week for cabinet purposes.
This ore brings $500 per ton, more
than the copper value in it.
A grade of rs per cent. carbonate
ore is also being shipped in car
load lots to the Chicago Refining
Co., and some specimen native
copper has also been shipped to
to this company. This ore is prac-
tically pure copper.
A carload of lumber and a car
load of coal arrived at Wabuska
this week for the Ludwig and is
being hauled to the mine.
The company expected to be
working below the water level be-
fore this but the copper lined
pumps and pipe ordered were de-
stroyed in the San Francisco fire,
and it will probably be some
weeks before they can be rebuilt
and shipped. When the machin-
cry arrives the work of develop
ment below the water level will
begin.
In connection with this item it
may be stated that the Ludwig
Co. has advanced the pay of min
ers to $3.50 per day.

Prospective Litigation.

We are informed this week that
there is a chance for big lawsuit
between the owners of the Doug
las group of copper mines. west of
Yerington, and the Ludwig Co.,
which owns adjoining ground.
Some three years ago the Doug
las owners applied for patent on
eleven claims, and the patent only
issued last month on three of these
claims, we are informed. The
ground for holding up the other
claims.is that sufficient amount
of work had not been done on
them. The Ludwig people have
now located these claims, which
adjoin the main claim. The Doug
las people began doing work on
these claims this week but were
driven off by Superintendent SOM
mers, of the Ludwig Co. There
are some eight claims in dispute.
The Douglas. group, supposed
to contain II claims under patent
and Q outside claims, was recent
ly sold to Salt Lake people for the
tidy sum of $4,000 with a sub
stantial payment down.
In view of the facts, as we have
related, it looks as though law
suit which will assay high in as
sessments for lawyers fees will
soon be one of the features of the
camp.

field mining man who has been
visiting Buckskin and the sur
rounding country for the past two
weeks, brought in from the new
camp some very rich ore Wednes-
day. Gold in the ore was plainly
