viceroys OF India. was an able and
very simple man. He used to do his
work in his shirt sleeves. and dis

treat the natives like children, al.
though he always strenuousiy insisted
upon their meritfng and receiving jus
rfce and kindness Lord Mayo went TO
India to succeed him. and on the last
afternoon before Lord Lawrence was
to leave for home he took the incom-
ing viceroy for drive. On the way he
impressed his doctrine OF kindness
very emphatically and solemnly ON his
successor. Lord Mayo thanked him
Tor his helpful advice, and they re-
turned In due course to the govern
ment house. The syce or footman.
was slow and awkward In opening the
door OF the carriage. whereupon Lord
Lawrence jumped out in temper and
gave his ear an unmlstakable tug.
Lord Mayo turned to the uceroy's aid
with smile. my first practical les
son IN kindness to natives undoubted-
ly is an odd one." he whispered.

STRANGE CAvE|N
 AT TOMBSTONE
Horse and Buggy Drop Seventy five
 Feet into old Mine stope-Horse Uninjured and Is Taken Out Through the Mine-Rider Uninjursd " .....

4, remarkable eavein occurred near the corner of Fifth and Toughnut streets at l o'clock this afternoon, and horse and wagon belonging to the Tombstone Improvement company were suddenly precipitated some seventy-fve feet from the surface and lost to view in the big cavern located directly be- meath the streets at that point, says the Tombstone Prospector.
 Manager Charles Gage of the T. l. company was on the wagon, when the horse suddenly stumbled and fell. Mir. Gage promptly jumped from the seat to go to the horse s head, when he was mortified to see the ground give way with crash and the vehicle and ami nal disappear, while he himeslf was left standing on the very brink of the gap ing, forbidding aperture in the earth, thankful, however, that he had miracu- lously escaped serious injury and pos sible death.
 This disturbance of the earth s crust is not phenomenon, but is the nat ural result that often follows mining operations, when stoping has progressed near the surface and the supports, if any, are too frail to bear the weight for which they were intended In this instance where the horse and wagon went down the weakened portion of the earth is evidently on the stope, and when the animal descended its course was down an incline of about forty-fve degrees, the speed downward being has tened by a plentiful quantity of loose rock, dirt and debris.
 Although considerably bruised, the horse was found to have apparently sui fered no serious injury. The animal was found pressed beneath some timbers and the wagon and was rescued before the rapidly descending earth smothered him. The wagon was badly wrecked both front wheels being broken. By means of ropes the vehicle was pulled out through the opening on the surface while the horse was taken through tho drifts of the old workings and brought to terra tirma near the old Vizna shaft some distance from where he made hi, went under.

HAGERMAN's REMOVAL

In asking for the resignation of Gov ernor Hagerman of New Mexico, Presi- dent Roosevelt made a grievous error and one that will come home to him before long. MT. Hagerman, despite his joint statehood proelivities, in which we believe he was sincere, has been the kind of governor which, one would think, would appeal strongly to Roose- welt. He fired the political bosses who have been holding offices from time i'm memorial and gave New Mexico off. cialdom a housecleaning such as it has never had. Naturally the bosses, led by Bull Andrews, H. H. Bursum, Max Frost, editor of the Santa Fe New Mex ican, and Major Llewellyn, camped or Hagerman s trail.
 Charges were preferred against tho young governor-charges which every one in New Mexico knows are untrue inasmuch as his Irregularities consisted in favoring the Pennsylvania Develop ment company, one of Bull Andrews promotions-and Hagerman received the summons from the Big Stick.
 Judging from the press reports, thu corrupt Republicans who had been de posed by Hagermsn made the charges stick and Hagerman was invited by thu square deal" president to retire il favor of a former Rough Rider, wh, since he has been governing the Islan, of Samar in the Philippines, shoul, make good ruler of New Mexico.
 From this and other recent occur rences involving Roosevelt, the poll tician, it seems that the square dea halo which has been lowering over hi head is beginning to wobble, and it early fall can be anticipated.

STRENGTHENED OUT

The presidential attention passes readily from one great field of human interest to another, and always with Illuminating power. From classifying Mir. Hartman among those who deserve "a shorter and more ugly ward" than falsifer, to designating his successor in office, and on to settling the contro- versy over "what is whiskyl" the president rises on easy wing, and when he lights, lands, as the boys say, with both feet. He has made an order di. recting that hereafter Straight whisky shall be labeled as such l" This in ac. cordance with the opinion of the attor. ney general and the recommendation of the chief chemist of the agricultural department.
 Under the provisions of the pure food law the president receives the color of authority for his order. But it is only the color. The substance of his power rests upon a higher law; the general underlying principle to which all good citizens gladly bow-the great law of truth and righteousness, which ii framed and expounded now almost daily at the White House.

Quotations on Copper Metal Are Not Accurate and Are Cause of Much Embarrassment in Legitimate Trans actions-Sales at Higher Prices.

The Sun has the following interest ing story from F. H. Cowles, vice presi. dent of the Electric Cable company of Bridgeport, Conn.,, which speaks for it. self:
 "With reference to your article of April II, page I3, under the heading of 'Price of Dream Copper Down." and in connection with the New York metal exchanges cut of l cent per pound in the price of copper, l took the liberty of dropping in at the metal exchange and offered to buy 150,000 pounds of copper At that time they were quot. ing half cent under the market.
 "I am pained to admit that it was l impossible to close transaction. l in quired of the gentleman in charge (to whom I was referred as the manager) if they were prepared to take on con tract for this amount at the prices they were quoting and he stated that they had none to sell. I went further and also inquired as to what particular val ue in quoting a price under the market when there was not metal to be had at the quotation, and he then assumed an air of offended dignity and replied that if I come there for the purpose of talk ing exception to their methods it would be useless for us to continue the conver sation.
 "Of course, everyone who is familiar | .-.sL .ko no--or I,,a;naaa ~fbuf these prices are ridiculous, but the un. fortunate fact is that the Sun seems to be the only paper that realizes the condition of affairs, and as other papers print these metal quotations they are circulated broadcast throughout the country and are sometimes source of annoyance to legitimate deals. Manu- lecturers and consumers, creating a false idea and establishing fictitious prices which have to be explained. "
 A Boston report says:
 The United Metals Selling interests have considered the copper situation in all its phases, and, as result, that company, which controls an output of about 650,000,000 pounds of copper per annum, has decided to maintain copper prices.
 It will soon offer to place contracts for copper for delivery after July I at 25A cents for Lake and 24% cents for Electrolytic brands. It will main tain it's price of 25A cents for copper for delivery up to July l. A copper man who has conferred with the United Metals Selling company people says: "U. H. Broughton, who is in charge of the United Metals Selling company affairs, says that there is no reason fo, cutting the price of the metal There is no falling of in consumption and nc ! increase of production.
