MINING, MARKETS AND METAL


. Dispatches last night cOntin-
. ued the trend of Tuesday and
. Wednesday toward cheerfulncss.
. More sales of copper for Euro

the producers have been con-

Just make note of it that

trading on the local exchange
end that they took up quite

comparing professional experiences to-
day, Both had been prosecutors and
both declared that they had never in
long experience with witnesses who
turned State 5 evidence known them to
testify falsely. OF course, they were
not prepared to say that Orchard was
not lying. but they suggested that the
chances were that in the main ne was

KIRWAH EXPLAINS THE
DRAFTS SENT S|MPK|KS
Acting Secretary of Federation
Declares Funds We're Legi-

DENVER. June 15.-The convention
Of the Western Federation of Miners
spent the entire morning listening to
communications. Among the communi,
cations wns one from the Globe, Ari-
zona. miners union suggesting that a
now ritual be adopted, doing away
with all signs and passwords.
Another communication was received
from a member of the Federation in
Las Animas county, Colorado, asking
that the Federation investigate the
killing Of Alexander Obrenski, an or
gan,Zer of the Federation, by Juan
Eskunas at Rugby, Las Animas, about a
month ago. 1t was alleged at the time
that the murder occurred in barroom
row, but the communication indicated
that it was a result of conspiracy.
The afternoon session was taken up
with routine work Acting Secretary
James Kirwan, who left for Boise to
day, where he will be a witness in the
Haywood trial, made the statement this
afternoon that the attempt of the pros
ecutlon at Boise TO show there was
anything wrong in the drafts sent TO
!. L, Simpkins would he abortive.
He said Simpkins was an organizer
of the Federation and member of the
executive board; that all the drafts sent
him were legitimate expenses in these
capacities and that there never had
been any secrecy about it. Every one
of these payments had either been pub
lished in the reports of Haywood or
himself as secretary treasurer. All the
expenses are itemized, he said, and are
public property. The same may be said,
he concluded, of many other expenses
about which the prosecution is seeking
to throw cloud of suspicion.

Menehk, thc' resent powerful monarch and
Christian king O. Abyssinia, is doubtless descend
ea from the captive king represented in the
Opera OF Aida King Menelik claims to be the
dlrect descendant of one of the three wise men
that followed the star to Bethlehem and saw the
new born Christ. It is this that explains his
Christianity and the Christianity of his people.
When the Abyssinans defeated the italians in
battle some years ago. many Italian officers were
taken captive. To these same officers the Queen
of Abyssinia showed some Christian relics and
it is said she exhibited as one of her treasures
the manger in which Christ was born.
Now it has been shown that the Egyptian faith
at all times embodied the worship of Trinity;
in ancient pictures the Holy Ghost is represent
ed as descending the righteous in the form
of flying beetle. The Holy Ghost of the Chris
tian faith is pictured as the dove The beetle
was the emblem of the Sun and of eternity
and as such it was held sacred; hence the scar

~ HE Royal School for Army Officers
Daughters on the heights at Bath
Eng, was the scene of sensational
lN29gSH burglary recently, the chief incident
being a bedroom interview between a
polite burglar and Miss Fox, one of
the assistant mistresses.
Miss Fox was sleeping alone in room rather
remote from the other bedrooms, when, at two
IN the morning, she was disturbed by noise as
II someone were moving near her bed She
called out, who's that?" There re-
sponse, and she thereupon stretched out her arm,
and to her horror felt man standing close by
the bed. She screamed, but no one heard her,
and she asked, "What do you want?"
The man apologized for his intrusion, and po-
Htely asked for Money"
She answered that she had none and he said
he would go away and not harm her if she would
bring him some money on the following day.
Miss Fox promised to do so, and arranged to
meet him in the Royal Victoria Park at 2 P.
NJ As pledge she gave her silver watch, with
q silver chain and little whistle attached, and
these he promised to return on receiving the
money. He then left.
The police were informed, and the rest of the
story was told before the magistrate, when John
Wilson, described as fireman, was charged with
burglary and with stealing a watch-chain and
whistle. The lady principal of the school related
how she kept the Victoria Park appointment in
stead of Miss Fox, who was i'll.
She carried an envelope in her hand, on which
vaa written ~. Johnson" which appears to
have been the name given to Miss Fox by her
nocturnal visitor. The defendant accosted her,
and said: "I'm the person you want. You have
got something for me-"
The lady replied, IT have come to tell you
that you will get no money. You could not ex-
pect that young lady would be allowed to send
you such a sum-"
After further parleying and attempts by the
accused to get money, he handed over the arti-
cles and then walked briskly away. But detec-
tive, who had been all the while in hiding,
promptly arrested him.
Then comes the sequel to the remarkable story.
On being remanded by the magistrate, Wilson
was conveyed to Shepton Mallet, but when he
reached that town be skilfully escaped despite
the fact that he was handcutfed.

pent was the enemy of the SUM- While it was
the emblem of wisdom, it also signifed darkness.
Blessed souls often pictured as tramplng the
serpent under foot, preparatory to rising towards
the sun. Although idolatrous, the Egyptian faith
serves to uphold the Bible teachings, and proves
as groundless many of the doubts expressed by
scholars in the veracity of the Old Testament
chronicles. Egyptian doctrines were rife with
suggestive references to Old Testament teachings.
The Creation is described in the Scripture as
God making Adam from earth Every ancient
Egyptian temple contains pictures showing gods
creating human beings out of clay. Ptah was
worshipped the Creator of the human race as
early as 5000 B. c. The Christian visitor to the
tombs and temples of ancient Egypt is constant
ly startled if he examine closely the pictures on
the walls that confront him. One large mural
picture shows the "Tree of knowledge" Under
its spreading branches Rameses, the Great, is
seated, while the gods are writing his name on
the fruit, and Sekhet, the goddess of literature,
is represented handing the fruit to Rameses
that he may eat and have that knowledge which
is forbidden to earthly mortals This is striking
ly like the Bibles account of the Garden of
Eden" and serves to strengthen our belief in BIZ
BILE teachings which are thus referred to, though
it be by idolators of many thousand years ago.
Mural decorations describing the life and death
Of Osiris picture that god rising from the dead
and ascending into heaven. 1t is known as the
picture of the Egyptian Resurrection. The holy
tabernacle of the Children of Israel is an abso-
lutte copy of the sacred boat in the Temple of the
Egyptians; by them it was known the "sa-
, cred ark" The Holyof-Holies of the temple of
Solomon was modelled after the Egyptian
Holy-of HOLES, both in structure and in
altar arrangements. Thus the ltrue believ-
ers regained what had perhaps originally been
theirs, but which, since prehistoric days, had
been adopted and used by the Egyptians. And
now, whether the Christian visit the "Holy
Land" or ancient Egypt Turkey, the land Of
the Mohammedan, he is bound to be confronted
by one great truth, and that is that Christ is the
most real and most vivid personality of all ages,
and that his teachings are the only true teach
| inqs the world has ever known. Mohammedans
will not admit to themselves that their scriptures
are direct copy of the Christian Scriptures
The Koran is a counterpart of Holy Testa-
ment. The Mohammedan faith dates from 900
A. D., and yet Mohammedans claim as the utter
ances of Mohammed what in reality were the
teachings of Christ, and which Mohammed merely
repeated.
