An Ardent Churchwoman.

1t soon became apparent that Miss Bur
dett-Coutts leaned rather to philanthropy
than to society. She was an ardent church,
woman. and in 1850 built the Church of
St Stephen, Westminster with a parson-
age and schools endowing the who'e
About the same period she founded the
colonial biShoprics at CapetOwn, Africa:
Adelaide, South Australia. and one in Brit
ish Columbia. She further founded an in
stitutiOn in South Australia for the educa-
ton of the aborigineS. Turning her atten-
ton to lettering the conditions of the lives
of the poor, she selected the district of
Bethnal Green, and there built block of
model lodging houses in Columbia Square
She also undertook the admiralty contract
for supplying the shirts to the British
navy, in order to afford employment for
the needlewomen Of Bethnal Green. Her
next great enterprise was the building and
substituting of Columbia Market in order
to supply the poor with fish at a cheap
rate. The opposition of the Bilngsgate
merchants finally rendered this great un-
dertaking abortive. The baroness benefited
the poor and outcast of her own sex: she
was the friend of little children and of the
animal creation: helped the starving peas
ants of Ireland; provided means for the
technical training of girls in domestic econ
omy; gave funds for the Typographical sur
vey of Jerusalem and assisted emigration
schemes, while the amount of her private
charity is impossible of estimate She
was always a warm educationalist and a
liberal patroness of art. In recognition
of her wide-spreading benevolence the
queen created Miss Burdett-Coutts a peer
ess, in 1871. with the title of baroness
Among other honors she received the free
dom of the cities of London and Edin-
burgh and the freedom and livery of the
Haberdashers' and the Turner's companies
Her Marriage Unpopular.
In 1881 the baroness married William
Ashmead- Bartlett. who was almost young
enough to be her grandson. He assumed
her name on the wedding day.
Mr.. Burdett-Coutts has lived down a good
deal of the unpopuarty with which he was
visited by the people of Great Britain Dur
ing the Russo-Turllish war of 1877 he was
attached to the British ambulances with the
Turkish forces and intrusted with the DIS
trbution and proper employment of tie
funds subscribed for the Turkish sick and
wounded by English committee at The
head Of which was Lady Burdett-Coutts
II was on his return to England after the
cCrlnietion of his labors that he fell seri-
ousl'' 1.-THE result of the hardships winch
he had undergone during the campo gn and
it was while nursing him back to health
that Cd Lady Burdett-Coutts conceived that
piatUdtOn for him which eliminated in her
maIryl him and settling on him an indie
pendent income of $3.50 eco year. The mar
rage was a most unpopular one. and even
the queen gave more or less public express
sion t. Eel displeasure.

Increased dividends seem to be the proper thing and mining companies producing copper and paying dividends amounting to ten or twelve per cent on the market valuation of the stock are gilt edged investments any way you want to figure it, says the Michi- gan Mining Gazette. The increase in the recent dividend of the North Butte, the increase in the last dividend paid by the Wolverine and the expectation of still further increase in the dividend rate by this company, the increase in the last Osceola dividend and the expectation of further increase when the next is declared, the belief that Mohawk will pay larger dividend, the the declaration of regular" s div idend by the Calumet & Arizona these things tend to point out the ad- vantages of owning stock in good min ing companies.

The Postal Union Congress at Rome has finished its work. Most of its busi- ness was of the character which does not interest the general public espec- tally; but one or two things are of importance. The attempt to reduce the postage on international letters from five cents to four cents, or to any lower sum, failed. The postage re- mains at five cents, but the weight of letter that may be sent for single postage has been doubled, that is to say, when the new rule takes effect an ounce letter may be sent for the same price that half-ounce letter has re- quired in the past. But for a heavier letter there is reduction. Each ad- ditional ounce will cost but three cents. It was also decided that picture pos tai cards might contain writing on the left-hand half of the address side.

It will be recalled that in the early days of the Tonto dam project the gov ernment hesitated between engaging in the manufacture of cement at the dam site and letting the contract to the ce- ment trust. The officers of the trust were insistent, even after the opening of the exorbitant bids, and threatened that if the government went into com petition with it, the trust would make itself felt at the next election. There was readvertisement for bids, which were only slightly lower, so that the government finally decided to make it's own cemint. It is we'll for us that it did so, for if the project were depend ent upon the private manufactures, work would be brought to an indefinite standstill. The latest number of the Scientific American. devoted largely to "The Modern Uses of Concrete" says that the demand in the west for Port land cement is so unprecedented that the capacity of the mills is overtaxed and almost without exception the gov ernment's requests for bids are turned down.

LIMITING APARTMENTS

Admiral Mahan believes that the only remedy for the insensate rivalry of the. maritime nations in building big and bigger battleships, is an interna- tional agreement limiting the size of these floating batteries. One of the lessons which this high authority draws from a study of the naval bat ties in the Japanese-Russian war is that it is futile to increase the size of battleships with the hope that any nation can get and maintain the big gest. There is. he contends, no natural limit beyond which increase in size can be said to be impossible; and hence if one nation should construct battle ship with displacement of 30.000 tons, there is nothing to prevent a rival iron. constructing one of 40,000.:
 Admiral Mahan argues that as the expense of a battleship increases at a ratio in excess of the ratio of increase of tonnage, the nations are embarked in a rivalry that is simply suicidal, when each tries to overmatch the other. He therefore suggests aH inter national agreement limiting the size of battleships.
 But if this be practicable as to the size of individual ships, why is it not equally so as to the number of fighting ships? A resolution looking in this di- rection has recently passed the British house of commons with the approval of the government. The need of somu such agreement, so far as this country is concerned, was plainly brought out in the recent debate in the house over the naval appropriation bill providing for the expenditure of $1O0, ,0OOO, 900. Representative Tawney, chairman of the committee on appropriations, told the house and the country, 'that we are spending 632 per cent of all ou, revenues, exclusive of the postal ser. vice, for war or in preparation for war" We have under construction today, he said, thirty vessels of all classes, with a displacement of 3S4, 73O tons, or more than 50 per cent of the displacement of our present navy and that construction will not be com. pleted until 1910 or 1912. The total amount appropriated for the navy by the fifty-seventh and fifty-eighth con- gresses, according to Mir. Tawney, was s38s, l08, 7l6. Boston Herald,

Anticipating the passage of the Hep burn bill, under which the coal roads will be obliged to divorce the mines they own and operate, it was reported in Wall street that J. P. Morgan has been entrusted with the organization of a gigantic coal combine with a capi- talization of $l,OOO, 900, 900 or more. Mir. Morgan, who is now abroad, will delay his return to America pending the completion of arrangements for floating the stock in Europe. It is said that H. C. Prick is slated for the presi- dency of the company, which is to be organized under New Jersey laws, and that the original capitalization will be nominal.

THE ADVANCE IN COPPER

The price of copper continues to hold strong at about the former prices. If any material advance over the present level occurs it will be because it can not be avoided. All the important producers are doing what they can to keep the price back.
 It is stated that the United Metals Selling company has made sales of copper for delivery into December at the full price. This is remarkable tes- timony to the strength of the situation. Only in times of marked activity are consumers willing to provide for their wants so far ahead.
 Not only does the purchase of copper eight months in advance mean that the consumers are satisfied with the metal situation, and believe that the present level will be maintained; it means also that the consumers of copper them selves have made contracts for delivery of their products so far ahead as the first of the year.
 The demand for copper is not specu- lative. This is the testimony of all authorities. The purchasers are not putting in big stocks of the metal at prices except as they know where they will use it. Their contracts are such that they cannot afford to be without supplies of the raw material. If they did not provide for their wants for the future, as they accept contracts, they might find themselves unable to obtain the metal when it was most necessary.
 To holders of copper stocks, or those who may become holders, the condi- tions in the metal industry are of extreme importance. The dividends paid by practically every copper min ing company at present are derived from sales of copper at much lower than current prices. The profits from sales of the metal above IS cents have only just begun to accrue to stockhold- CTS. With the assurance that the price of copper will not decline below 18c. this year it is certain tbat the earnings of these companies will show large increase over 1905. Boston Financial News.

The only question that remains un- settled as to free alcohol is as to wheth- CT it will hurt Standard Oil, and if so, how much. It is fair inference from the calm state of the market for the big trusts securities and from the apparently undisturbed state of mind of its representative magnates that it will survive the shock somehow.

FIRST WINS HoNoRS.
Results If The Season at Saunders
Rifle Range.

Col. Charles ID. Gather, acting in
spector general OF the First Brigade,
Maryland National Guard, and range
officer of Saunders range during the
rifle season just passed, has transmit
ted to the adjutant general the full re-
port of the work done at the range
during the season. The season eX-
tended from May 10 to November /.
The report indicates gratifying in
crease in the number of guardsmen
who attended the range, as well MS inn
proved efficiency in the use of the
rifle. The general improvement in
the brigade amounted TO about 70 per
cent, the assigned mark this season
being 37.47 and that last season 22.47.
The, First Regiment. leads the regi-
ments of the brigade with mark of
Al. 80. The Fifth is second with 35.9o
and the Fourth follows with 35.9S.
The Improvement of the First Regi-
ment, composed of companies in the
small cities of the state, is notable, its
mark last season being l3.43. The
Fourth's mark last season was lT.4O
and the Fifth's 34.S5.
The First Regiment had the advan-
tage that its companies were stationed
mt the range for longer period, but
this was somewhat Offset by the fact
that the other regiments are situated
in Baltimore and their members have
the opportunity of visiting the range
with greater facility.

WET FOOT BALL FIELD
Interferes With The Practice Of
The Navy Team.

The continued wet weather keeps
the Naval Academy football field soft,
and the coaches are cautious Epont al
lowing the team men much real foot
ball. The great object Of the coaches
is To keep the team mp 10 IFS present
standard OF playing and have the
PLAYERS up to the pink of physical
condition on December ].
The team IS very fortunate in the
number of excellent substitutes for
each position which have been de-
veloped. Though Captain Spencer
and Douglass. the regular halves, are
getting into the best shape. yet Harris
and Ewing have been showing such
good form of late that the team viii
not be much. weakened If either
should be substituted for one OF the
regulars. Northcroft and Richardson
have both had experience At fullback'
and could be taken of the line II In
gram were out of the game, and one
OF the excellent line substitutes used
i'm their places.
Battles and Lange are excellent
second choices for Norton 5 place nj
quarter. In fact, the substitutes IN
the hackfeld last Saturday scored
four touchdowns against North caro-
lima in the second half, whereas the
regulars scored but three in the first.
Next week. rs the season viii have
closed AT New Haven, Coach Gates is
expecting some members of the coach
| ing squad from Yale to help him. II
is likely that Rockwell and Hutchin-
son will come, and Tad Jones, this
years quarterback, may also b'
among the number if he can get away
