1t is believed by some that the
greatest copper industry in the world
will be developed in the .Tanganyika
region. where the properties are Of
great potential value. and may prove
to be one of the greatest factorslin
carrying civilization into the, heart Of
Africa. Much time is required for de-
velopments. Because OF the heavy
speculation In the shares these may
suffer much before the properties be-
come dividend earning. The Ben

markab!e of modern times. ~

instances of boys giving an early
indication of remarkable career.
Handel and Mozart each showed a
liking for music when youngin years,
and soon made their mark. Handel
began composing church service for
voices and instruments when only
nine years old. and before he was

Mozart began the piano at three, and
at seven he taught himself the violin.

the only one 10 get his report through
10 the Northern newspapers. His de-
tense OF Grant In that battlefield report
has done much for the historical record
OF the great Federal captain. After a
few years in Washington he went to
the New York Tribune IN 1868 and became
associated with Horace Greeley. When
Mr. Greeley died. in 1872. he succeeded to
the editorship and chief ownership OF
the Tribune, one of the most powerful
party organs ever known.
Mr. Reid doesn't mince words when he
writes editorials. and his bitter attacks
upon Conkling and Platt during the IA
nous factional fight of the early SOS
earned for him q hatred that has never
been appeased. When Mr.. Reid went as
Minister to France he put John Hay IN
charge OF the Tribune. Later. when sir
Mckinley came 10 the White House, Mr.
Reid would have been sent abroad. but
the Platt influence in the Senate was such
as to prevent his confirmation. Mr.. Hay
was sent. IN 1897 Mr.. Reid displaced Mr.
Hay by going TO England as special am
bassador 20 the Queens jubilee, and four
years later he displaced Mr.. Choate by
MS appointment as special ambassador
to the coronation OF King Edward. He
was also honored by an appointment on
the Paris Peace Commission Of 1855.

Mr. Mckinley could give him no perna-
nent honor. When Mr.. Roosevelt became
President in his own right he swung the

MIR BRYAN IN WASHINGTON.

On the Goth of November the Dis
trict of Columbia democrats will en-
terrain Mr.. Bryan and some other
dis inguished democrats at dinner
When this dinner was planned the
purpose was to make it almost pure
ly local, but report spreading that
Mr.. Bryan was likely to express some
thing definite as to his purposes in
the coming campaign has led to such
demand for tickets that the COM
mittee in charge have become much
embarrassed for lack Of room. It is
to he essentially "harmony' dinner.
Some erroneous statements have
been made as to the speakers who
have been, or who will be invited.
But it is the desire Of the committee
having the dinner in charge that
there shall be speakers representing
every section Of the country, and that
at least half of the speakers should
represent that portion OF the demo-
cratic party which some years ago
was antagonistic to Mr.. Bryan and to
his beliefs. Within a week names of
the speakers will be announced. 1t
was suggested today by an enquiring
newspaper correspondent that possibly
the tone of the discussion at the din
ner would be an attack upon the pres
! ident's attitude toward Wall street,
trusts and corporations. Possibly
such a hint may be sent out through

vance what Mr.. Bryan is going to
say He has not the habit Of writ
ing his speeches, or OF sending ad-

far as | know, do they mysteriously
leak into Wall street. But it is my
belief that when Mr.. Bryan does talk
in Washington he will have some i'm
portant things to say. He will have
associated with him men who viii
also speak on vital topics. Whether
he will make that long-awaited an6
