CT, but those who were to cater to "the soul alIiuities" of men had to be the brightest and most bril- liant, most thoroughly accom- plished, and most beautiful. They excelled in music, in art, and in poetry; and the most famous women of the ancient world were of the hetrai Burning Sappho, who loved and sang" fragments of her poems yet extant, marking her as having had remarkable mind, was one of these. Aspasia, Lais and Phryne, at whose feet were laid the wealth and honors of the ancient world were also of the same vocation. History teens with many more similar pames. They were class by themselves, exalted and idolized, their function legalized and protected; and they interfered in no way with the sacred founda- tion of society given by the home. It would hardly do to lisp such a belief; but there is a question whether that condition of affairs were not better than the one tow ard which society seems drifting now, with it's soul aiiinities, and women who supply intellectual needs" that men cannot find at home.

THERE seems some sort of chi canery in the way the facts are given with regard to the deprecia- tion that has taken place in the price of copper, and the reasons therefor. One statement that has been spread was that there Is surplus of refined copper exceeding quarter of a billion tons; and that decrease in production is nec- essary until consumption overtakes supply. Another published state ment that has received equally wide circulation is that there are not six months supply in sight. One or the other of these assertions is false, and given circulation with intent to deceive.

STRANGE, is it not, that no one has ever proposed prohibition of the manufacture of alcoholic liq- uors? So long as they are made will they be drank, and so long IS they are drank they will be sold, regardless of prohibitory laws. Very likely prohibition of their manufacture would be just as fu- tile, but it would be far more logi- cal.

MORALES, Arizona should take a lesson in patriotism from her sister city across the line. About once in four years the American town gives a good celebration of the Fourth of July. Every year the Mexican town produces rousing celebration of the Sixteenth of Sep tember; and in every case the ob- servance of the anniversary of na- tional independence exceeds by far the doings of the previous year. Is 1t that the American burg lacks in pat<iotism; or are its people simply too lazy or too penurious to do the right thing upon such an occasion?

TWAS EVER THUS.

During many centuries there have been certain kinds of men and women who, desiring to set aside the conventionalities of civilized society, and lacking the nerve or courage to declare themselves flat ly, have advanced psychological reasons as excuses for their lapses from virtue, when would they ad- nit the truth the real reason is sex ual, and nothing else. And in- stead of admitting fatty, as they would were they truthful, that they have been guided by their own mu- tual concupiscence and salacious- ness, they cloak their sin beneath the mantle of intellectual attrac- ton, and prate gIibly of union with their souls affinities, " or of finding in the mental or psychic character of another that more fitted to their own peculiar organ ization," than had been the mate they had discarded for the new affinity" Recently the press has teemed with accounts of the doings and performances of people Of the kind described, while every morn ing the telegraphic columns of the metropolitan dailies have presented columns of interviews with the of lending parties, and the silly plat itudes with which they have ex- cused and extenuated their per- formancas.
 The most prominent of these re- cent occurrences has been the case oian artist named Earle, residing in New York state, who has sent to her home in France to divorce him, his wife, who is the mother of his child, in order that he may take up with another woman Ia Miss Kuttncr) with which latter there exists mutual infatuation. And the pity of 1t all Is the way the poor fool of a wife has talked about the matter. She is not at all jealous of Miss Kuttner; but has resigned to her freely the hus- band to whom Miss Kuttner can supply that mental and soulful stimulus in which she is lacking herself. And to an interviewer Miss Kuttner has unbosomed her. selfin much the same style, while the talks made by the man in the case show whence emanated the ideas that seem to have obsessed both women.

In the outfit taken was the register of visitors, which was published, unkindly, by the Los Angeles Times. The list is graced by the names of several prominent Arizonans. But that is not the worst of it. The Times rubbed it in" by calling them suckers" That is the really scan- dalous feature of the affair. The idea of any one from Arizona being "sucker!"

in the other woman some lndefln- able essence that SO influenced his own nature, that 1t supplied his in- tellect with a stimulus that the wife was unable to give. And he may have talked 1t to the maiden until she too believed that she pos sesses a soul of worth so superior that 1t is her right to root out the wife, and reign in her stead in his purely intellectual affections. But down in his own heart the man knows that he Is actuated by dew ilish concupiscence, and nothing else.
 Almost simultaneously there arises in Iowa a similar case, where in a clergyman has deserted a wife and two children to take up with a single woman in the church over which he ministers, the maiden in that case being a prominent church and sabbath school worker-the president of "the Kings Daugh- ters;" and they deliberately set at defiance all the conventionalities and the law of the land, upon sthe same ground as do the others cited, viz: "the affinity of their souls" AnG there IS yet another case re- ported from Indiana-all within two weeks.
 Now all three set up the doctrine that love should be free, and "go where 1t is sent" regardless of the effect upon others, and upon the material and moral status of soci- ety. That man should be free to discard a faithful wife. and set her adrift with her children, whenever his rowing fancies find another female who "can supply that crav- ing in the natAren of the husband which the wife finds herself unable to give. And right down to the bottom of 1t every time is that lust that is the basis Of Mormonism. Beside such men the Mormon Is an angel of light. He discards not the family he has created, but con- tinues to maintain and nurture that while he founds d new one, with the new affinity" installed in the sacred relation of mother. But even in his own case the Nor mon cloaks with the sanction of religion, the concupisceDce and sal aciousness which are his impelling motives. How much more decent and logical was the attitude of the ancient Greeks in these matters. They admitted openly and above board, but called by their right names the very things that the new school arising denominate 'soul af- finity," and the Mormon cloaks un- der the guise of religion; and they made no excuses for the same. They legalized prostitution; and set 1t up as an institution of the land. Their hetr8i were educated and ac- complished, set apart from child

Famous Old IrOnsIdss Put In Shape.

Boston, May 14.-The famous frigate
Constitution or "Old Ironsides," as
endeared in the hearts of the people of
the United States, has not been given
over to the hands of the ripper and de-
stroyer, but has been put in good shape
She has just received three huge masts,
duplicates of the original masts. The
great cross saws, adzes and other tools
which were in vogue when leviathan
wooden ships were built, and which are
rarely seen in a modern shipbuilding
establishment, have been diligently ap-
piled by shipwrights, shipjoiners, ship
filters and salkers for many months,
day after day until the veteran looks
today almost as did the original ship
when launched in Boston, September,
1913. In the remodeling of this ship
her lines and form of old have been fol-
lowed after the model carved by Josiah
Humphreys, who was one of the de-
signers, which model was found a few
years ago in a state of good preserva-
ton at the Humphreys homestead at
Haverford, Pa. The main mast has a
massive semi-circular crop, of an area
big enough for Southern family's din
ing room and weighs 18A tons, a tre-
mendous weight for the keel of the old
vessel to support.

NINETY PERISHED IN MINES.
Only Seventeen Out Of a Hundred and
Seven Escaped.

Mexico City, May THE first news
received since Sunday from Teneras
mines in the State of Durango, where
a great fire is raging, came to the
Associated Press office here tonight.
The dispatch confirmed the earlier dis
patch that ninety men lost their lives.
greater number being suffocated.
Eleven of the bodies have been recover
ed and buried. All the dead are Mexi-
can laborers.
Death was due to carbolic acid poison
ing. Strenuous efforts are being made
to force back the draught which is
tanning the flames, by the use of COM
pressed air pumps. The fire broke out
last Friday night in an abandoned shaft
of the Velardena mine, through which
the men had passed.
1t is believed cigarette or careless
ly handled candle set fire to the tim
bering.
Out of the 107 men below the surface.
only seventeen escaped. An investi-
cation by the government inspectors
has absolved the mining company from
all blame.

pound kegs of the explosive was stored.
No less strange than fortunate, no
one was hurt. One man Charlie Robi-
nette, had his shirt cut off, and might
have been burned to death but for the
nearness of a deep pool of water, into
which he jumped. Only two men were
at work in the coming mill-in fact,
only Two are in any one department of
the plant at one time so that the death
list may be kept as small as possible in
case of accident of this kind. They
were Robinette and an Italian, who
was pushing the cor when the powder
caught fire. The Italian saw and appre-
ciated his danger some minutes before
the little blaze started on the car reach
ed the powder stored in the coming mill,
and found safety in flight.
The explosion was not without its
amusing incidents. A mule, which is
used for hauling the tram cars back and
forth, was near. and part of its har-
ness, notably the breeching caught fire.
The mules name was not Maude, but
she kicked nevertheless.
While the actual damage to the plant
is estimated little in excess of $40, 600,
the aggregate loss will greatly exceed
this, as the entire plant will have to be
idle until a new grain mill is built. 1t
is thought that the construction of this
mill will consume at least six weeks, -

EARTH TREMBLED
AT NEMOURS
More Than Ten Thousand Pounds Of
Powder at Dupont Mills Goes in
One Big Explosion.

The earth trembled at Nemours yes
terday morning, when between 10000
and II, 500 pounds of powder in the Du-
pont Mills went up in one big explosion.
The fire resulting caused the destruc-
ton of the grain or coming mill, and
the damage to the plant will exceed
$4,000, in addition to shutdown of
probably six weeks. That section of
the plant which was burned was insur-
ed, but for what amount could not be
learned. The bark was torn from
trees five hundred feet away by the
tremendous force of the explosion,
while the doors of the Office building
and press department of the plant, half
a mile away, were shattered and torn
out. The shock was distinctly felt at
Bluestone, Flat Top Yards, Bramwell,
Pocahontas and other towns in the
neighborhood, while the detonation was
heard in all of the towns for miles
around. Practically everything within
q radius of three hundred yards was de-
molished, portions of the roof of the
motor house being hurled distance of
a thousand yards. A house nearly half
q mile away was injured by piece of
flying timber.
The explosion is supposed to have
been due to spark from the contact
of the wheels of tram car, which was
being pushed from the press plant to
the coming mill, and the track. The
coming mill is the department where
the powder, as it comes from the press
plant in large cakes, is crushed in
grains. The tram car was loaded with
a number of cakes ready to be crushed,
and just before going off the steel rails
onto the wooden ones, just inside the
coming department, spark resulting
from the friction is supposed to have
fallen onto cake of the powder, which
fell from the car and set fire to the
grains of powder scattered about, fol-
lowing a train into the coming mill,
where between 400 and 500 twenty-five

Child Nearly Carried Away by an Eagle.

Confluence, WA, May 14.-A little
child belonging to d. M. Riffee, mer-
chant of Braxton county, was nearly
carried away by a large bald eagle yes
terday. The child was playing in the
dooryard of its home when the immense
bird swooped down, catching the child
about the shoulders and waist with its
claws. The screams of the little one
attracted its father, who came out of
his store just as the bird was raising
with the child.
Mr.. Riffee Immediately seized one of
the rakes which he had on display in
front of his store, and with it literally
raked down the bird and child. The
child was injured but little, while the
parent managed to deal the bird several
telling blows with the rake. Despite
this it managed to fly to some tall trees
nearby, where, while nursing its in
juries, it was killed by rifle ball. The
eagle is one of the largest ever seen
here.

The play presented on Monday night

every sense of the word. The town
hall was filed and every one who at
tended was surprised at the rendition
of the program. When taken into con-
sideration that only one week was given
the performers for rehearsing, it was
very successful and shows that we have
a number of people in our town who
have excellent talent and can and will
apply it when called upon.
Miss Linscott, who directed the
affair is an artist in her line, and man
aged the whole affair with wonderful
skill, which added much to its success.
