PREACHERS MUST
PAY full RATES

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-After January
1. 1908, clergymen who have been
travelling upon half rates on all
Western railroads will be compelled
to pay full fare. This fact was made
certain today by the action of the
general conference of all clergy bu-
reaus of all the Western Passenger
Association lines.
The Transcontinental Passenger
Association will continue to issue
half-rate permits to clergymen so
long as the rates are not reduced in
Colorado, Montana, Arizona and the
States west of there to the Pacific
Coast. Permits may also be contin-
ued in the States of Texas and Louis

any union or association without a
judgment from the courts, and test
cases are coming up for trial which
threaten the existence of unions
which have existed for more than
ten years.
The socialists are at present busy
extending their organization and
holding meetings of protest.
Another sign of the weakening of
the liberal movement is the agree
ment by three of the four great Fin
nish parties to pay the 10000, 900
marks demanded by Russia toward
military expenditures.
The socialists are the only ones
holding out against the demand,
though they are, well aware that 1t is
of no use.

as a kindergarten until the peace
idea grows stronger.
The Pan-German league has, figur-
atively speaking, put its head into the
lions mouth by the resolution it
adopted at its recent annual conven-
tion at Wiesbaden
1t has actually dared to tell the
kaiser that its members are greatly
dissatisfied with his personal regime,
as well as with the foreign policy of
the German government, and demand
the rapid construction of a formid-
able navy that the country may be in
a position to back up a more resolute
and aggressive foreign policy with
guns and torpedoes.
The league wants no friendship
with England or King Edward, whom
it distructs and suspects of working
toward the absolute isolation of Ger
many.
The kaiser does not maintain the
dignity OF the country; he prostrates
himself before the United States as a
country and goes out of his way ia
fiatter and honor American million
aires, and if he does not change his
ways he will lose the confidence of
the German people,
This sounds very much like lese
majestic. and somebody will surely
suffer.
The weakening of the Russian rev.
olutionary movement continues to re-
act heavily on Finnish affairs. The
concessions gained by the Finnish
people since 1905 are being threaten
ed, both from st. Petersburg and by
the small class of reactionary Firms
at home.
The reactionary movement is aim
ed against the working class. The re-
dictionaries demand that the senate
shall suppress all labor unions in the
cities and towns because most OF
them are socialistic. According to
Finnish law. the senate, which is the
executive government cannot abolish

BERLIN MAKING MONEY.
Municipal Ownership is Enriching
German City.

BERLIN, Oct. 5.-The city author
tiles of Berlin are justly proud of
the fact that, while the immensely
rich metropolis of America, New
York, finds it hard to dispose of her
bonds at a rate of interest which is
very close to usury, according to
European ideas, the city of Berlin
will not have to borrow any money
for years to come
Not only does the city budget for
the present fiscal year show no de-
felt, but there will even be a sur
plus not less than $4,000, 900 marks
To the advocates of municipal own
ership in the United States this fact
will furnish a splendid argument, for
the surplus in question is all deriy-
ed from the gas works owned and
operated by the city of Berlin, which
have proved enormously profitable
although the quality of the gas turn
ed out is excellent. and it is sold to
the consumers at much cheaper
price than the average price in the
large cities of America.
The employees of the municipal gas
works are well paid, entitled to a
pension after twenty-five years SER
vice, and are all insured against ac-
cidents by the city.

1t is stated that the Western Pas

souvenir OF The
ELKS and EAGLES
NOVEL AND INTERESTING PUB-
LEGATION JUST OFF
THE PRESS.

The Day That Tonopah Played
Ball. has been concentrated in
souvenir which makes it's appear
ance at Rounsevell's today.
We had a great game of ball three
weeks ago today. The match was
between the Elks and the Eagles,
and the interest of the entire COM
mhnity was centered in the event.
There were great doings, there was
great fun during the week preced-
ing the game; the humorists and the
poets of both orders were lured from
their midnight lamps, and the litera-
ture, good and bad, that was hurled
at one another, kept the city on
broad grin.
the time and energy and humor and
jingling poetry that had been ex-
pended upon it, and the crowds that
witnessed it showed the great inter-
est felt in anything that touched
Tonopah. The souvenir has caught
all these expressions of fun and
fancy, wit and humor; and it embod-
les all the literature, good and bad.
There are halftones of the parade,
with its sidelights, and of the base
ball game in progress.
In short, the souvenir is refiec-
ton of the game and the incidents
that led up to it, and beyond it. 1t
is collection of the souvenirs of the
memorable occasion, which every
body wanted to get as remembrances
of the festive event.
1t goes farther than that-it is o
boosting medium for Tonopah. There
is fund of information regarding
the camp, of the business that is done
here, of the banks and the buildings,
and is plentifully illustrated Two
of the illustrations appear on anoth-
They are halftone engravings of the
magnificent homes of Congressman
George A. Bartlett and Judge J. p.
OBrien, and they show to the out
side world what we have in the way
of buildings.
Reading through the pages of 'The
Day That Tonopah Played Ball. one
is carried back to the days of the
great game, and all that it meant.
| And between the lines we read of
what we have had in Tonopah and
what we still have. Tonopah has
been too modest in the respect of
putting herself in the limelight, and
this little book is modest attempt
! to aid in recalling to the world that
we are still, as we have ever been,
the greatest mining camp in the
world.
In the matter of publicity, every
little helps. and this souvenir, we
think, will help a great deal. There
are great many copies going out
to the world, and to every one who
reads it will be shown that Tonopah
is very much alive, even in such a
little thing as a ball game, and by a
careful perusal of it's other pages,
he will be shown that Tonopah is al
ways playing ball
Read it, circulate it, send it to
your friends 1t is entirely home
product from cover to cover, and it
tells whole lot of substantial
truths about our home.
Tonopah is the greatest mining
camp in the world; let the world
know it.

GREAT COPPER
EXPERTS OPINION
j. *. WALSH VISITS UBEHEBE IN
INTEREST OF PITTSBURG
PEOPLE.

j. X Walsh, one of the greatest
and most conservative copper experts
in the United States, returned yes
terday from Ubehebe, and will leave
for the East this morning, going to
Nina by automobile. Mr.. Walsh does
not go into ecstacies over the appear
ance of the camp, of the great noun
tains, and of the adjoining proper
ties. He is a cold blooded business
man. He went to Ubehebe for one
purpose, and that was to examine the
holdings of the Salsberry company,
or rather of the Ubehebe Copper
Mines and Smelter Corporation. He
went there at the request of Eastern
capital to determine whether there
was a mine there. He found one
Il spent all of a day there said
Mr.. Walsh, land | saw all that |
wanted to see. There is a great show
ing in the Ubehebe, and the mines
have been proven for two thousand
feet. 1t costs a great deal of money
to develop copper mines, and Mr.
Salsberry has spent a considerable
sum, but he had the encouragement
of the showing in doing So | went
there in the interest of number of
Pittsburg people, who wanted to
know something about the property.
1t is very interesting proposition
How about the values?" Mr..
Walsh was asked
LAS to the values of gold and sill
yer, I do not know. AS to the cop
per, | knew that the moment / set
my eyes on the property. 1t was
hardly necessary for me to make an
extensive examination to know what
they have there, but did it just the
same, going over a great deal of the
territory. While l have said that it
costs great deal of money to de-
velop copper properties, 1t must be
remembered that the returns are pro-
portionately enormous. Is it going to
be worth while to spend the money
in the development of Mr. SAILS
berry's property?" and Mr.. Walsh
gave his sinterrogator quizzical
glance, 1T is, indeed"
Mr. Walsh makes his home in Los
! Angeles, but his connections are in
the East, and he keeps in touch with
the financial centers. Speaking of
the present depression, he said that
it might last thirty or sixty days, not
longer.
| But there is always money there,
and lots of 1t, for good investment,
and there is more today for mining
Investment than there was four or
! five years ago. | mean by that that
the capital is there right now, right
in the midst of the depression. If
a good mining proposition is put up
to capital, they will send their ex-
perts to examine it. and If it proves
up the capital is ready for its devel-
opment. Mining investments are
preferred in the East to industrials. ;,
is the Ubehebe mines proposition
one of the kind which appeals to
Eastern capital?" was asked.
II should say So, returned Mr..
| Walsh.
For a man of Mr.. Walsh's conserv-
alive temperament. and well known
reputation, the answer meant more
than page of literature. 1t was
emphatic. and to the point.

litely breaks the ice with remark about the days racing. Conversation becomes general The most aristocratic looking and fascinating of the gang yawns and expresses himself as being bored by the railway journey saying he would like a game of cards to pass the time away.
 A pack is generally produced; but this is not clever. 1 used to volunteer to get q pack at the next station book stall. On reaching one. l dashed out and brought back and unopened pack which l usually handed to the intended vic- tim to unseal. As he had opened the new pack himself it did away with any suspicion of marked cards. As a matter of fact. the pack was one of my own, carefully faked, and my rushing off to the book stall was only a clever ruse to put suspicious people off the scent
 At whist, solo whist, or bridge my partners and self won large sums of money in all the large cities. We had an deliberately arranged code of signals which were impossible to detect. Each of us knew practically to a pip what cards the other held almost before the players had sorted their cards.
 Poker was a game we used to win it, as one of my gang playing the stranger used to moon round, look at the other players hands, and signal to me what cards they held. I could then bet away until the cows came home or throw in my cards and freeze out of the round according to the strength of my hand.
 We travelled in high style for years during the tourist season on the Amer ican liners, and many a thousand pounds have I won at poker from wealthy and unsuspecting passengers fond of a gam ble.

 All the swell bars around Piccadily Circus are frequented by international sharps ever on the lookout for we'll fiedged victims. My card room was fitted up with all kinds of dodges for getting money out of young mugs. Behind the victims chair was an ingeniously ar ranged bookcase. Pare Of it contained real books, but the top part and middle was in reality a sliding panel painted to- resemble the backs of classic works. Un- derneath the card table was an electric button, and when we were settled down. to play I simply touched this. the panel of dummy books slid noiselessly away disclosing a looking glass, in which, OF course l could see the cards in my op- ponent's hand.

Babylon's Moral Code.

The incalculable age of Babylonian civ ilization, and the high moral code of the people, are two impressive points made in Prof. Friedrich Delitzsch's article in the December number of Harper's Maga- zine. Ho describes entertainingly their advanced civilization. opened to us by recent research and excavation, and de- clares that the moral code of Hammura oi, which is 1000 years older than the code of Moses, goes far ahead of the latter. While the Pentateuch expressly sanctions blood revenge (Deut. 19. 11ffD. which is hard to reconcile with the sixth command ment, and provides three cities of refuge only for those who have committed mur- der unintentionally, the law of Hammur- abi. does not allow private revenge under any circumstances"
