French Army Suffers Big Less.

Tangier.-According to semi-official
information received at the Spanish
legation the French forces at Casa
Blanca under the command of General
Drude, suffered a serious repulse at
the hands of the Moors. Moorish
troops estimated to number 1000 men
and equipped with field guns and mod
ern rifles not only drove the French
back to the city walls, but menaced
the town to the extent that the French
authorities found it expedient to re-
quest aid from Spanish warship in
the harbor to repel the attack

Harry Thaw Makes Deeds.

Pittsburg.-Harry Thaw and his
wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, have off,
cially conveyed to the full-blood broth
ers and sisters and mother of Thaw,
their interest In four pieces of real es-
tate in this city, amounting to $4,000.

relatives for the purpose of raising
money with which to conduct his next
trial, but there Is another report that
Harry Thaw will convey all of his
property to his mother, brothers and
sisters in order to escape the many

The accomplishments Of civilization
are truly deadly. In little less than
three weeks. ending on August 81,
the traffic lines of Greater New York
killed AZ persons and injured $500.
Of whom lat were manned for life or
otherwise seriously injured. Out of
this total 465 persons were injured in
collisions with vehicles. 145 in col
lisions with cars. 405 were struck by
cars, GAL were injured in boarding cars
and no less than 1858 injured in
alighting from cars. 1t does not ap-
pear that the number for this period
is at all unusual, as 1t comes to light
through the fact that an official record
by the city Of such accidents was only
begun early in August. The astound-
ing disclosures of the perils of daily
life in the metropolis should certainly
lead to still further improvement OF
modern improvements"

New York city's board Of education
has ordered an investigation to deter
mine whether or not it is advisable
to return to the rule of corporal pun
ishment. Since its abolition some
time ago a majority of the principals
report that they cannot maintain
good order and discipline, moral
suasion proving entirely inadequate.
Many members of the board believe a
return to the old system which would
permit boy to be whipped is dan
gerous retrogression, but they were
not strong enough to prevent the order
to Inquire into the matter. 1t might
be well to adopt the plan practiced
by Judge Stubs In the Indianapolis
Juvenile court. says the Star of that
city. and give the parent an oppor-
tunity to trounce his own offspring in
the presence of the principal as an
alternative to having the child dis

WOMEN NEED THE CASH.
Men Spend Too Much for Little Piled
ures That Count UP.

Chicago.-"Men's smoking and drink
ing habits mean illegitimate expenses
in the economic field and the tradi-
tional necessity for satisfying these
perverted masculine tastes Is keeping
women today in economic slavery"
Such was the claim put forward be-
fore an audience of 200 women of the
Social Service Club at 22S South Clark
street by Mrs. Charles Henrotin. who
spoke on "a Living Wage
She insisted that "women's iegiti-
mate expenses" are larger than mans
and made this the basis of her argu-
ment.
THE root of all the economic injus-
tice from which woman suffers" said
Mrs. Henrotin, "is found in the an
cient but pestiferous fallacy that man
has more legitimate expenses than
women. Woman's legitimate expenses
are greater than mans.
Most of mems expenses are not le-
climate. None. or but few. of his ex-
penses for tobacco are legitimate. And
there are others. Now, how about u
bigger medical bills, bigger dress
makers bills.
Yet we have it dinned into our ears
eternally that the reason man gets
larger pay than women is because his
legitimate expenses are greater. What
travcsty on the truth.
"Why. the real facts are that woman
by every lay of common sense and ma
ture has infinitely more wants than
man, and all that keeps her from get
ting the larger pay is the monstrouslS,
unjust system created by man for
own selfish ends during the ages WHOA
the world was in darkness and gave
him the upper hand"

Denver Supplies the Great West.

Denver-A contract for 100000
worth Of electrical supplies has been
made By E. H. Hartman with the Gen
eral Electric Company, through Gen.
Irving Hale, manager of the Denver
Office. The order includes motors,
switches and everything necessary for
improving the Salt Lake City street
car system. which is owned by Harri'
man. The lighting system in that city
will also be improved.
Hartman secured control of the
Utah Light and Railway Company
about year ago. Prior to that time
1t was owned by the Mormon church.
Since acquiring control Hartman has
perfected plans for extending the cleo.
trio lines, and will in the course OF
time create a number OF interurban
lines.
General Hale has also closed con
tract for equipping The new mill being
built by the United States Portland
Cement Company at Adobe, near Flor-

crate about 700 horsepower.
A contract was also recently made
by General Hale for equipping the
mills of the North Homestake Mining
Company at Maitland, near Deadwood'

taken from the earthquake ruins. It is
now estimated that the deaths will sur
pass 500, but 1t is impossible to get ac-
curate information on this subject, as
many villages are still cut off by the
floods and the destruction of roads am
telegraph lines, and no word from them
can be had.
The earth shocks continue, but they
arc slight. The people are still In
condition of apprehension, which Is in
creased by each tremor. In spite of
the torrential rain falling, they abso-
lutely refuse to remain under cover.
They have made their beds in the
open. Mattresses have been spread
about the squares and the fields sur
rounding the stricken villages and peo-
pic are covering themselves and their
children as best they may. Many thou
sands will pass the night in this man
ner. The only building that the fright
ened people will consent to enter are
the churches, and even there they will
not stay long. Sacred relics have been
exposed in the Cathedral OF Cantanzaro
and this served in a measure to calm
the population.
This earthquake bids fair to rival
that of 1905.
Half the homes at st. Ferruzzano
and Brancaleone collapsed and many
persons were buried in the ruins. and
at Sinopoli and st. Illario more lives
are said to have been lost. Panic pre-
vailed everywhere. Half of the houses

CRIPPLE MAKES GREAT STRIKE.
Orc That Runs $4,000 a Ton 10 Dug
From Bull Hill.

From Bull Hill.
Cripple Creek, Colo-A reat strike
has been made on the Dante property
on Bull hill, where the largest body of
high grade ore ever opened in a strong
and permanent vein in the Cripple
Creek district has been encountered.
There have been numerous pockets of
| rich ore exposed and much greater val
ues have been obtained from small
streaks, but In no case has there ever
been a seam OF picture mineral over
four inches wide that held out with de-
velopment work.
The high grade just opened in the
Dante appears in an eight-inch streak
and gives returns of from SIT to $24
to the pound, with an average value OF
SIS to the pound, or $4,000 to the ton.
The streak lies in the center or core
of four-foot vein and is not simply
pocket or stringer, but portion of a
strong ore body.
The vein was encountered several
months ago and has been followed
quite a distance, increasing both in
size and value as development was car
ried on. Just four weeks ago today a
three-inch seam of high grade was
opened in the center of the vein and
the work of separating and sorting
the ore was begun. The vein since that
time has been drifted on for distance
of twenty feet, with the rich streak
gradually widening out, but not exceed
ing width Of four and a half inches
until today, when round of shots ex>
posed 1t measuring eight incnes across.
The vein on either side OF this high
grade seam carries values Of from two
to five and half ounces in gold. The
property owned by the Dante Gold Min
ing Company, is under lease to the
British American Mining Company.
The leasing company tonight has 200
pounds of the ore sacked and a ship
ment will be made tomorrow with the
expectation Of obtaining returns OF
$4,000 from the small consignment.

During 1906. 211,304 men. whose
employment is that of digging coal,
were idle. The output, however, was
77.812.0S2 tons In excess Of the pro-
duction in 1905. The demand has
largely increased since because OF
larger population and extended indus
tries calling for steam. There was a
retarded delivery of coal hero last
year, one Of the excuses offered being
that there was a shortage in the sup
ply and delay in ordering 1t. One evi.
dent lesson Is that the coal miners
should be kept busy all the time. It
would mean a largely increased in
come for them and would insure a
reasonably adequate supply for the

chlIdren's Library and the Hume.
COLORADO.

ChIldren's Library and the Hume.
With the increased interest in tho
problem of chi,dren's reading. there
arises a doubt which cannot very cas-
lily be dispelled. Despite the fact that
the public library, the public school
and the state are concentrating their
efforts on the subject in most com
nendable manner, their aims and pur-
poses are as yet only half conceived;
while the cultural value of reading for
It's own sake is being almost wholly
ignored. We find the library doing
school work and the teacher doing IL
brary work; and together 1t is looked
upon as their requisite duty to accom-
plish an amount of training which
should be relegated to the special
province of the home. Let us not re-
gard the matter in a sentimental fash
ion. The parent has a first indisputa-
BILE right to mold the initial tastes OF
childhood, and 1t is because the parent
has. to large extent, become callous
to the situation that the library organ
ization has been forced to step into
the breach. In the school, reading
has become stereotyped: 1t is neces-
sarily prescribed. declares Montrose
j. Moses, in the Outlook. In the library
1t should remain unfettered. provided
always that the open shelves are
stacked in quality and not In quantity.
But, in order to reach any basis Of per-
sonal influence. the library should
have the cooperation of the home,
which, unfortunately. 1t is not receiv-
ing.

st. Louis.-Proclaimed as the most
remarkable balloon contest In the his
tory of the world aeronautics, with
every racing record broken, the second
international cup competition which
started from here Monday last, ended
with Germany accorded the winning
laurels.
The finish of the race was the clos
cat and most exciting the followers of
the sport have ever known, the victor
ious German balloon, the Pommern,
which landed at Asbury Park this
morning, having r" slightly more than
five miles the advantage of the French
contestant, "LIsle de France" second
in the race. which descended during
the afternoon at Herbertsville, N. j.,
a few miles froru the Atlantic coast
and slightly northwest of Point Pleas
ant.
Another German balloon, the Dussel-
dorf, stands third in the race.
American entries are fourth and
fifth, third German team is sixth.
a French team seventh. an American
eighth, and the English ninth.
The unofficial estimated air line
flight Of the Pommern is $50 miles,
and that of the LIsle de France is
875. The Dusseldorf third. which
landed near Dover, Delaware, is esti-
mated to have covered 100 miles.
The off1cial measurements will be
computed at the geological survey of
the United States government at
Washington.
Only the proximity Of the Atlantic
ocean stopped the wonderful flight of
the Pommern. The balloon could have
remained in the air many hours longer.
and undoubtedly would have added
several hundred miles to her record
but for the expaEse of water ahead.
