der. The defense introduced letters
written by Mrs. Magill shortly before
her death, in which she complained CT
"unbearable headaches" and constant
"nagging" of her husbands relatives.

COPPER FAILURES
A Projected Corner Collapsed and
the Heinze Interests Suf-
fered Serious Loss.
A HEINzE FIRM SUSPENDED
Claims Against the Company May
Reach $780, o0-A Butte, Mont,
Bank Closed its Doors
Stock Dropped to $40.

New York, Oct RESERVATIONS fol.
lowed each other in rapid succession
in the financial district Thursday as
the result of the collapse of the pro-
jected corner in United Copper and
the suspension of & prominent broker
age firm Wednesday.
The firm of Otto Heinze G Company
was suspended on the stock exchange.
f. Augustus Heinze, the Butte cop
per magnate resigned the presidency
of the Mercantile National Bank of
New York. The .Analgamated Cop
per company at it's directors meeting
cut its quarterly dividend from 2 per
cent to 1 per cent
The directors Of the Boston and
Montana Copper company declared a
quarterly dividend of Sc in place of a
former dividend If S12.
The failure of Halter, Soehle & Co.,
prominent bankers of Hamburg, Ger
many, with liabilities that may reach
$7000,000 was announced.
The state savings bank of Butte,
Mont, of which the Heinzes are the
principal stockholders, suspended.
AS a result of these sensations the
stock market was halting and irregu-
lar, but there was apparent feeling
that the break of the attempted cor
ner in United Copper had cleared the
atmosphere somewhat and the marKet
rallied before the close. The suspen-
sion of Otto HeinZe & Co., of which
firm NJ. Schultzeis, the stock exchange
member, was based on a complaint to
the exchange made by Gross & Klee-
berg, the stock exchange firm which
failed Wednesday. In a communica-
ton to the president of the stock eX
change this firm charged Otto Heinze
& Co. with refusing to accept 1902
shares of United Copper, said to have
been bought on the order of the
Heinze firm This action, Gross &c
Kleeberf state, was responsible for
their failure. Attorneys for this firm
assert the amount due them by the
Heinze firm aggregates 100000
The Heinze firm announced that it
is perfectly solvent and that all its
legal Obligations VIII be met. Inc at
torneys say that the suspension by the
stock exchange was accepted by tire
firm in order to give the latter an OPP
portunity to sift its legal obligations
from numerous claims which have
been made against it which it is al
legged are not legal obligations.
United Copper was weak and active
on the curb market Thursday. The
first sale of the common stock was at
$13 as compared with So Wednesday
night 1t quickly dropped to $40 and
then recovered to, $3.50.
The tremendous shrinkage in the
value of securities in Wall street is
shown by the following comparison of

PRETTY MEMORIAL CUSTOM.
How Albanians Pay Honor to Their
Great National Hero. Scander Bey.

How Albanians Pay Honor to Their
Great National Hero. Scander hey.
The great national hero Of Albania
Is Scander Bey, who delivered the
country from the Turks in the fifteenth
century and who was one of the most
successful generals of his age. Alba
mans to-day honor his memory with
remarkable fervor and with a pretty
custom. At the beginning of the Mo-
hammedan feast of Bairam the women
all over Albania strew flowers from
the housetops as token not only of
their devotion to the memory of their
great hero, but as sort of protest
against the Turkish rule by which they
are enslaved.
Scander Bey was the son of a Chris
tian prince named John Castriota, who
ruled over a small district of Albania.
This prince was compelled to place his
son as hostage with the Turkish Sui
tan Amurath, by whom he was reared
"A mussulman. Scander Bey received
the best of military training and served
with distinction in the Turkish service.
In 1443 he abjured Mohammedanism
and taking up his quarters at Croia
called upon his countrymen to rise
against the rule of Turkey. In thirty
days, so well did the Albanians comply
with his request, he was in possession
of all the fortresses in Albania. With
an army of $4,000 he defeated a force
of $4,000 Turks sent against him. In
quick succession he overthrow three
other large armies In 1449 and again
in 1450 he defeated Amurath himself.
compelling the latter, at the head of
100000 men, to raise the Siege of Croia.
War continued until 1851 when ANU
rath concluded a treaty, leaving Scan
der Bey in possession of his territories.
In 1863 the war was resumed. Scan
der Bey defeated the Turks In several
battles, forcing an army of 100000 men
to retreat. Another army of $4,000 he
drove from before Crola and during
three days massacred Its remnants In
the defiles Of Tirana. Throughout his
career he successfully resisted the
Turks In every quarter and 1t was not
until after his death that Albania was
forced into submission. Until this day
loyal Albanians wear a short black
jacket In perpetual mourning for their
great national hero

Women who cheat at games and then
are unashamed when men laughingly
accept the cheat as joke help to low
er the feminine sense of honor. They
are as bad as the women who talk of
having servants when they have none,
declared Miss Lucy Soulsby at the con
ference of the National Union of Wom-
en- Workers at Tunbridge Wells.
1t was a debate In "Who Has the
Most Sense of Honor, Women or Men?"
But NO men were allowed to take part.
Before preparing my argument"
said Miss Soulsby, II made an investi-
CATION to learn what were the things
In which women lacked sense OF hon
or. Besides the woman who speaks of
servants which she hasn't got, l had
pointed out to me the woman who
reads other peoples letters without au-
thority, and the woman who overhears
conversations which she is not sup
posed to listen to.
"Why Is it that girls are more prone
to cheat at games than boys? 1t is all
because of early training. Boys are
taught to be chivalrous and tolerant
Of girls. So boys grow up with sense
OF chivalry and girls grow up expect
Ing tolerance Of boys. The weaker sex
Is thus handicapped.
women do not learn the practical
lessons which rough experience gives
to the other sex. A boy knows If he
does not play fairly he will receive no
quarter; II he cheats he will get kick
ed out; but with girl 1t is altogether
different A boy plays the game and
abides by the decision of the umpire,
but girl will appeal from the UNI
pire's decision If 1t does not suit her.
As rule, l would say that girls have
more sense of honor by nature, while
boys have more by training.
