 Officials and employees of the Stan-
 dard Oil company are entitled to free
 passes on the railroads, according to
 the interpretation of expert lawyers
 who have been making study of the railroad rate bill. The free pass "re- strictions" of the bill provide that common carriers may exchange passes and one of the Lodge amend ments declares Standard Oil to be common carrier. By this arrange ment, therefore. the employees of Standard Oil may travel deadhead in the Pullmans and the railroad men are privileged to accept in return transportation from place to place, free of charge, through the oil pipes.

ing. Three policemen, an ambulance surgeon and the crew of a truck com. pany tried their best to get him down, but all failed, and 1t was only after the would-be rescuers pretended to leave the scene that vogel came of his perch.
 Three weeks ago vogel disappeared from his home. A general alarm was sent out, but nothing was seen of him until he was found in Seward park. He went home with his father and went to bed at nine o'clock An hour later he got up and dressed and rush. ing out to the yard shinned up the clothes pole like monkey. He lay across the top and rested his feet on a spike. His father aroused all the neighbors in the block, shrieking at the top of his voice that his demented son intended to jump from his lofty perch.
 A patrolman who was called sent an ambulance call upon hearing that Vogel was mentally deranged. Ambu- lance Surgeon Lindsay, who respond. ed, told the policeman that he could do nothing until vogel was taken from his perch.
 When you get him down I'll come after him." said Dr. Lindsay. but don't feel like treating patients in midair."
 The patrolman was reenforced by other policemen during the night, but none could hit upon a plan to capture vogel Several times tho police took turns at shining the pole and at- tempting to coax him into descending peaceably. but each failed. The DO licemen feared that he would jump 10 the yard at any moment and they pro ceeded to make the expected descent as easy as possible. Mattresses were placed around the pole. but vogel probably had made up his mind not to jump.
 All night the police and hundreds of neighbors kept watch and tried all sorts of dodges to get vogel to the ground. Some of the women offered to marry him. At four o'clock the firemen of truck company were sum- moned. but before they carried in . 50-fOot ladder vOgel saw that the coast vas clear. the policemen having hid in a woodshed. and he slid down the pole Then he started to run to the street He was seized and bun dled o1 to a hospital. where be vas put in the psycopathic ward

FRIDAY, AUGUST s1, 1906.

Waterbury seems to have been honored this year of our Lord by both political parties. Mayor Thoms will ofiiciate at the democratic convention and now eur own Congressman Lilley has been selected to do the honors for the republicans. Two chair manships in one year is not so bad, but Waterbury has the material, so call on us when anything of that sort is wanted.

Father Hagen Appointed to the vatl.

The Vatican observatory now has an American director in the person of Rev. Dr. John George Hagen. the Jesuit astronomer who until short time ago was chief astronomer at Georgetown university, Washington. Father Hagen was appointed by Pope Plus X. to this position on the recon. mendation of some of the foremost astronomers of Europe and America. He is an Austrian by birth, and an American by adoption, having been born in the village of Bregenz on March 6, 1847. He entered the Jes- uit order at 16, and when he had fin,

He studied theology under the English Jesuits. then came to this country in 1880. He was appointed director of Georgetown observatory eight years later.
 The accurate laws of the variation of stars are credited to Father Hagen. He has published an Atlas of vari- able Stars" In i've series, comprising z40 charts and more than 10000 stars. This work represents IS years of observation by night and cal euIation by day.

THE COPPER SITUATION
TWAS Never Stronger Than Now--Enorm.
Gus Production and Consumption

The strength of the copper metal is
not adequately appreciated, says the
Boston News Bureau. There is such a
scarcity eff supplies available for i'm
mediate and future delivery that large
consumers are viewing the future with
considerable apprehension. Notwith-
standing the fact that the production
of copper in this country today is
greater than ever before, there is a
demand for every pound of copper
which the overworked refineries can
put on the market.
The fact that several million pounds
of Calumet and Hecla copper were
sold this week at 1Sa cents for June
delivery without any guarantee to the
buyer against a possible price reduc-
ton, speaks volumes for the great
strength and activity prevailing in all
departments of the copper trade.
The price of lS3 cents is the highest
for which any considerable quantity of
Lake copper for three months delivery
has been sold, although as high as 20
cents has been quoted for small lots for
immediate delivery by other interests.
The large producers are unit in
deprecating furthur rise in the price
of the metal They realize that it
must lead to an inevitable curtailment
in the consumption OF the metal.
One of the surprising features of our
export trade is the unexpected manner
in which foreign shipments have been
maintained since the close of the Rus
sian-Japanese war. Since the close of
the war in August, 1905, our foreign
shipments have totaled an average of
over 1900 tons month, and the ex-
ports for February are likely to ex-
coed 20, 900 tons. Notwithstanding these
large shipments, the foreign visible
supply is only 10, 951 tons, or the lowest

DEMAND FOR SILVER GROWS
Millions in Silver Disappearing Annually
In India, China and Philippines

Within the past two years silver has
made notable advance, despite the
predictions of insincere statesmen. and
politicians of ten years ago. Millions
of dollars in silver are disappearing an
nually in the great nav of India, in
China, and the Straits Settlements,
and in the Oriental possessions of the
United States. In twenty-five days,
from January LIST to the 25th inclusive,
London sent silver to India to the
amount of 81, 6l5, 700. compared with
f5l0, 900 during the same period last
year, an increase in shipments of 91,-
l02, 900.
Gold may forever remain the stand
ard of values, but silver will always
assert itself as its sister money metal
1t was quoted in 1896 at 48 cents per
ounce. The great powers have since
then adopted gold as the standard, but
though demonetized the demand for the
white metal has increased to such an
extent that it is quoted at this writing
at &C cents. The demonetizing of sill
yer closed many of the silver mines in
the United States, but the law of COM
mercial necessity has opened them and,
though there is more silver mined to-
day than at any time since the Com
stock mines were pouring out their
millions, the demand is steadily. in
creasing, not alone in the arts and sci
ences, but for. money uses mainly, and
the minis of this and other countries
have been kept busy coming the only
medium of exchange known to that
great portion of the human race exist
ing in China, the British possessions in
India and the Oriental countries re-
Gently attached to the United States.
During the past decade the states
men and political leaders whose policy.
dictated by the banking interests of
the country, forced the silver mines to
close, have experienced a change of
heart and the most rabid anti-silver
men who were foremost few years ago
in discrediting silver are now promot-
ing the international Bimetallic Con-
