FLIRTATIOUs MAN RELEASED.
Carl B. Lewis, Who Ran Away Will
Mrs. Wentworth, Liberated.

Mrs. Wentworth, Liberated.
Carl B. Lewis, drummer, possibly
will never flirt again. At least, not
until he forgets the experiences that
have followed his latest filtration.
Lewis was released from the coun-
ty Jail yesterday after four weeks of
confinement following street flirta-
ton with Mrs. Wentworth, wife of
George Wentworth. Lewis was devot-
ing his presence to the front of
Washington-street cigar store permit
ting the passing feminine crowd to
feast their eyes upon the inspiring
spectacle, when Mrs. Wentworth
CHANGED along and looked rather long
er than was necessary. Lewis smiled.
The smile was returned. He left his
post and introduced himself. They
talked the matter over and decided
to elope. They took the next train
for Seattle.
1t would have been very we'll but
for the husband. He happened to find
1t out and the arrest of the couple
followed few days later. Mrs. Went
worth had a divorce suit pending in
which she accused her husband of be-
ing a brute. Her husband will now
nile a cross complaint accusing her
of being firt.
Lewis was liberated at the instance
OF Lawyer J. F. Logan. The law re-
quires that complaints in cases OF
this kind must be signed by the hus-
band or wife of one of the Offending
persons. This was not done, and on
threatening to bring habeas corpus
proceedings the attorney obtained an
order for his clients release.

Boston, Mass, March 14.-William
Jennings Bryan arrived in Boston to-
day to pay the first visit he has made
the city in several years. While the
primary purpose of his visit is to fill
lecture engagement Mr. Bryan will
take advantage of the opportunity Of
fered to confer with a number of Dem
ocratic leaders in regard to the politi-
cal situation in New England at the

ic state committee have been invited to

party leaders as Mayor Fitzgerald, the
Hon. Richard Olney and others. 1t is

land Progressive Democratic league,
of which Col. Alexander Troup of New
Haven is president, will be on hand in
full force

Modem Jonah Really Truly Ananias!
CALUMET e. HECLA.S GROWTH.
Annual Meeting of Stockholders Is Be.
Ing Held Today.

Associated Press to The Evening Tines.
Boston. Mass, March 1.-THE CAL
umet & Hecla Mining company, which
has produced almost $1O0,OOO,OOO in
dividends in the thirty-six years of its
existence. promises to dwarf in future
years this enormous return OF approx
imately eighty-two times the capital
originally paid in, if the new plans of
those in control of the company are
successfully concluded.
The Osceola company, which is the
Calumet & Hecla's largest neighbor,
holds its annual meeting today, and it
is expected that showing of the stock
will confirm the rumors that the con-
troll of the company has passed into
the hands of the Calumet & Hecla in
terests. The Osceola property, added
to the holdings of Centennial, the Al
louez and the Tecumseh companies,
about whose control there is no dis
pute, will give the Calumet & Hecla
interests about ten miles of the richest
copper land that has been developed
anywhere in the world up to the pres
ent time.
Calumet & Hecla proper extends d.
agonally across two one-mile sections
of land. The four mines of which it
has obtained control string out in
length across six additional one-mile
sections, giving it in all a diagonal line
across eight contiguous sections. While
the production of Osceola is at present
at the rate of only 2O,000,O0O pounds of
copper a year, compared with the CAL
umet & Hecla's production of 100000
600 and the other three mines are still
in the development stage, the predic-
ton is current here that the expansion
made possible through the new prop
critics on the north and south will
bring the production up to within 300,-
100000 pounds within a few years.
The total production of the Lake upe-
rior district is now about 225, 900 900
pounds

wyeh Hazel, Not Witch Hazel.

The correct name for Hamamelis yir-
ginica Is not witch hazel. but wych
hazel. our plant has no connection
with the magic OF the water hunter.
The blackthorn Of England, Prunus
spinosa. was the wood used In these
dlvinations. or whatever these super.
stltious practices may be termed. IIa-
gel had very wide meaning in the
,olden times, and the elm as well as
the nut nov known az such was hazel.
One OF these elms, now known ms u
mus MONTANA. was the favorite wood
for making wyches. or provision
chests. and was therefore known as
the wych hazel. In the present day It
Is the wych elm. Our hamamelis re-
ceived from the early settlers the name
OF wych hazel from the resemblance
OF the leaves to those OF the wych ha-
eel or elm of the old world. Language
reformers imagining that wych should
he spelled witch are responsible for the
confusion. Wych hazel is the correct
term for our plant.
