GOING TO BRAZIL.
Going TO Further n Big Diamond
Mine Scheme-FranlxE T.. Blais-
dell of Grand Junction,
The Man to do 1t.

Frank r. Blaisdell, one of the best
known mining promoters of this sec
tion and long identified with the
Grand Junction Smelling company,
arrived home yesterday at noon from
the east where he has been for sever
al months looking after some import
ant business interests.
Mr.. Blaisdell is now making his
plans to go to Brazil in the interest
of a strong organization of eastern
capitalists who control extensive dia-
mond properties in that country. He
Will leave Grand Junction the latter
part of the month and will sail from
New York city on August for Rio
Janeiro and will then go into the in
terror to the properties of the syndi-
cate He expects to be in Brazil
about three months.
1t seems that some very prominent
eastern capitalists have invested large
sums of money in the proposition and
it is said that the properties control
led are known to be rich and extens-
i've. The full details of the plans
and purposes of Mr.. Blaisdell and the
men with whom he is associated were
not learned today by the Sentinel,
but from all accounts the proposition
is one of gigantic proportions and
Mr.. Blaisdell is very enthusiastic
over its phases.
Mr.. Blaisdell will visit the Una
weep mining district in few days
and superintand the putting in of
air compressors and machinery in the
metallic mine.

THAw MAKES STATEMENT.

Special to The Sentinel
New York, July 11.-Harry X.
Thaw last night gave out his first
statement since he shot and killed
Stanford White on the Madison
Square roof gardens. In it the young
man utters a protest against being
regarded as insane and declares his
counsel assured him that no such
course as the appointment of com
mittee to inquire into his mental con-
dition is contemplated.
The statement was handed by
Thaw in person to the newspaper
men. He gave it out without the
permission of his counsel, with whom
he pleaded all day to be allowed to
deny in person the current reports as
to his sanity, and especially the pub
lie report yesterday of a purported
interview with one of his counsel
quoting the attorney as saying the
prisoner was undoubtedly insane.

ouEER pEMocRATIc "TIoeERs.I

THE Democratic Euclid who is figuring the
4 prospects of the party in the coming cleo
ton on mathematical basis, declares that there
were eighteen thousand votes cast for the party
at the last election. He triumphantly assumes
that all of this eighteen thousand will stick to the
artv to begin with and it will start at the polls on
election day with this basis and has to gain only
a certain percentage Of the Republican votes in
order to win.
This looks very pretty after you once grasp IT,
but there are some flaws in such reasoning How
many Of the eighteen thousand votes polled by
their party did the Democrats themselves pur-
chase? There is eminent Democratic authority
for the statement that the Democrats have bought
a great many votes in previous elections in Del
aware. Some Of their leaders have admitted that
the Democrats have had to halt vote buying be-
cause they no longer had the money with which
to purchase such votes The Democrats certainly
bought several thousand votes so they will have
to hold these men in line before they begin to
get their percentages from the Republicans.
Again. how many OF the eighteen thousand Of
the Democrats are still unregistered There are
many thousands Of them who have not yet quail
fed They are waiting for the coin or the long
green TO come from Democratic sources as in the
oast and i i is not produced there will be another
large lump of that Democratic vote which will
not turn up on election day.
Altogether the Democratic "hggers' are rather
misleading The man who got them up must
have had nightmare.

MAN AS A SOCIAL FACTOR.

u 5V Mr. McCURDY in an interesting SER
N mon at Central Church on Sunday night,
spoke Of the thoughts that are lodged in the minds
OF men and dwelt upon the consideration of man
as a man. This dominant idea of the sermon
shows how, in economic discussion, the concep-
ton OF a man as man and not as a mere tool or
thing, has been elevated ethically morally and in
every other way The old line writers, and they
had large following among Americans, consid-
cred man that works a tool, piece of machin-
cry useful to the capitalists for the production OF
wealth. His wages were based upon the living
scale Of existence
1t was a revolt against this horrd conception
Of man that gave Socialism its birth, and it has
grown to wide dimensions. The historical or
the Austrian school OF economists saw what the
old conception OF man as machine would lead to,
and they are responsible for the newer and ethical
idea OF man when he is considered as a factor.
Such questions are stirring the people Of to-
day. The hundreds OF people, men, women and
children, who eke out bare existence with long
and arduous toll cannot be in love with social
system in which the distribution ofwealth is un-
Just. A system of social life in which extreme
wealth and direst poverty go hand in hand is un
just and gives birth to unrest. The more people
are educated the more they will study upon these
points. and the more .perplexing will such prob
lens become

fob, on Crawford street, near High
street. reward if finder will kindly re-
turn same, as child swallowed it, but
physician cannot see any signs Of 1t,

"Mrs Dougherty. so Crawford St."
Last Wednesday little Willie Dough-
erty was playing on the floor Of his
mothers kitchen in the family home
on Crawford street. Willie is IS
months old, and has a talent for sta
tistics. AS he is the pride Of the house
and nothing too good for him, he re-
ceived the ST. Louis souvenir fob to
work his talent on. The fob is made
up OF three silver links and is massive.
Willie felt IT, smelled it, tasted It,
and then swallowed it to make sure
He maintained the gravity Of the sage
that is until he began TO realize;
then he began to howl, being only a
child after all When his mother came
to him he was throwing a first-class
iconvulsion.
His mother picked him up and start
ed for St. Barnabas Hospital. three
blocks away
He's dying" she shrieked. as she
burst into the emergency ward. He's
swallowed the hook and he's going
fast
Willie underwent the third degree in
stanter Every treatment calculated to
make a normal infant give up was em-
ployed, but nothing was produced. In
stead Willie became calm. The doc
tors were puzzled So was the mother,
but delighted as we'll
Finally after the men Of science had
thoroughly thumbed and knesded Will
Hes small torso, they reached the con-
clusion that there was nothing IN 1t;
that Willie had not partaken Of the st
Louis silver souvenir fob after all
But Mrs Dougherty was and still is
unconvinced The silver souvenir fob
was not In sight when she reached heI
home again. and wasn't anywhere along
the way either. which leads her to be-
lieve that he couldn't have shaken II
out of him as she ran. So she is ir
a quandary and wants to be shown.
