universal Astronomical Society" is

Here l am three miles from earth and
deluding myself with the thought that
am doing something wonderful. But
while have been mounting three miles
above the earth our globe has been rae

million miles nearer to it than ever be-

IF we are going to bump into the
sun or some othe- celestial body, what
is the use of our straining as we do to
achieve things which will be swept out
Of existence? How do we know that
it is worth while to keep on living and
trying to make something worth while
of ourselves?
Think of the earthquakes in all parts
Of the world" Captain Hedge went on,
How shall we account for such wealth
or as We are having-only two really

81 years Of Boston and her maid,
Martha Anderson. 20 years old, also OF
Boston. Each had a leg so badly
fractured that amputation was neces-

The explosion which is believed to
have been caused by frozen pipes
which backed UP the water in the
heater, shattered all the windows in
the laundry and the adjoining kitchen,
shook the building and caused nearly
a panic among the 40 students. Sever
al of the instructors and some of the
pupils rushed to the laundry, which
they found partially on fire. The in
jured women were dragged out. the
fire extinguished and physicians sum-
moned from this city.
Both women were somewhat burned
in addition to having their legs frac-
tured. They were taken to the acad-
envy infirmary, where the operations
" ere performed. The damage to the
laundry is estimated at about $1,000.

THE COPPER MEN
Report on What They Now Have
Awaiting the Market.

New York, Jan. 27.-President James
Noroton of the Northeastern Metal
Dealers Association tonight made pub
lie the following letter. which upon
instructions from the association, ne
sent on Friday to Attorney General
Bonaparte at Washington:
Charles J. Bonaparte. Attorney Cen
eral,
washington, d. c.
Dear Sir: Referring to your tele-
gram to you of this date respecting
the combination of copper interests in
this country, beg to lay before you
the following facts which We are pre-
pared to prove:
That the copper trust. so-called, has
created an artificial scarcity of copper
by storing it in large quantities at
Butte, Mont; Hoboken, N. j.: Perth
Amboy, N. j.; Bayonne, N. j.; Bisbee,
Ariz.; Cananna, Mex; Houghton,
Mich, and other places known to our
association. and refusing to sell 1t ex-
cept in small quantities.
THAT there is now stored at Perth
Amboy, 5000 tons Of refined copper and
that all intending purchasers are told
| that the supply has been exhausted.
THAT there is 100 tons Of copper
az Hoboken and that seals We're placed
on the storehouse thereon Oct. IS, last,
and have not since been broken.
THAT there is stored In similar man.
ner at Butte, Mont, 5000 at Bisbee,
| 5000 tons, and 1900 tons at Canannea
and Houghton, Mich.
THAT the steamer Hindustan, Capt.
/ Tl,,ll not for
South Africa with 1000 tons of copper
ballast with no orders for its delivery
in any port Of South Africa and that
the Hindustan returned to the port OF
New York on or about Dec. 20, still
carrying the 1000 tons Of copper as
ballast, and that Capt. Rallton on seek
| ing orders for the delivery of the cop
per received orders the next day to
continue the 1000 tons Of copper as
ballast. The Hindustan sailed SUBJ
sequently for a South American port
still without orders for the delivery OF
the copper. His affidavit reciting the
above facts is enclosed.
| I'VE submit that the present danger
to the trade Is not so much the high
price of copper, as is the fear that the
price, being held at an artificial height
may be lowered suddenly should the
copper combination succeed in selling
its stored up product at the present
quotation.
VERY truly yours,
| (Signed) JAMES NOROTON,
president, Northeastern Metal Dealers
Association"
President Noroton said that he would
go to Washington tomorrow or Tues
day to see the President and Attorney
General Bonaparte.
