PRE.PREsIDENTIAL MOURNING
Denver Mining Record.

Denver Mining Record.
At times when politics begins to
take that indefinite definite shape
prior to the launching of presiden-
tial campaign. the temper of the men
of finance is nodded in accordance
with their views. The leading edi-
torials In some leading papers are
formed generally in accordance with
the wish of the interests. and 1t is
to be suspected that. until 1t is known
that safe" man can be found to
enter the race, the small talk Of pes
simism will be rife.
II we are to mourn as to what may
come in 1909 or 1910. we are fore
ing ourselves to live several good,
lucrative months ahead of our time,
and that means worry. Worry be-
gets pessimism. and pessimism means
a sort of hysterical lethargy-like the
course of the chicken crossing the
road.
Let us take look in at the form
and measure OF our prosperity at
this time. and let us recall that panics
are not made over night. but begin
to be manifest long way ahead of
time. For the first five months of
the present year. bank clearings
through the United States showed an
increase OF 8 2-3 per cent, and the
gross earnings of railroads in the
same period gave evidence Of an In
crease Of 8 81 per cent. Individual

GOTHAM AND GoTHAAnTEs.

This name, Gotham, was first APP
piled to the City of Manhattan in a
book of humorous sketches called
"Salmagundi," written about | S07 by
Washington Irving in collaboration
with his brother Peter and the poet
Paulding.
1t was evidently intended to sug-
gest that the people of New York
made undue pretensions to wisdom,
and that there was both satire and
wit in the suggestion is shown by the
story of the original Gothamites.
Gotham was a parish in Nottingham
shire. England. The old story tells
how King John wished to pass
through the parish, but the people
there, fancying that the passage of
the king over route made it pub
lie road. decided to prevent the trans
1t by all pretending to be crazy
Therefore. when the king and his
party arrived, they found every one
of the inhabitants employed In some
peculiar foolish task. Thus, a group
were joining hands around thorn
bush to keep a cuckoo from getting
away; some were trying to drown
an eel; others dipping water with
sieve, and so on. When the king
saw these performances he swore at
the people for pack of idiots, and,
turning, departed with his retinue,
says the Housekeeper. The Gotham
ties were delighted with the success
of their scheme for turning aside the
king, regarding it as superlatively
clever.
After this Gotham came to have
the reputation of being sort of
headquarters for conceited fools. In
the time of Henry VIII, book en-
titled THE Merry Tales of the Mad
Men of Gotham" was published.
Among these was the story of Three
Wise Men of Gotham" one of whose
exploits was to 60 to sea in bowl

Should Appeal to suburbanites.

S. F. Hood of the Department of
Agriculture, is trying to beat the Jap
anese camphor trust by raising cam
phor groves in Florida, says the Buff
falo Enquirer. At a dinner in Hunt
ington that celebrated an unusually
fine distillation of camphor leaves,
Mr.. Hood, the guest of honor, told a
seasonable agricultural story-a
story that should appeal to all sub
urbanites.
Zone beautiful spring morning."
he began, "a suburbanite looked sus-
piciously over his hedge and said to
his neighbor:
Hey, what the deuce are You
burying in that hole there?'
1.-THE neighbor laughed harsh,
bitter laugh
"'Oh,' he said, I'm just replanting
some of my nasturtium seeds; that's

'Nasturtium seeds?' shouted the
first man angrily. 1t looks more like
one of my buff Leghorn hens

replied. The seeds are inside"

A Gallant Highway man Oh the Out
skirts of Rome,

Lancia, the noted Italian automo-
bilist, was asked the other day if he
did not think motor racing too dan
gerous.
"Dangerous-yes," NJ Lancia re-
Piled. TOO dangerous-no. For
nothing that benefits mankind mex
pressibly is too dangerous for man
to undertake.

point of rashness. | am like high
wayman in the outskirts of Rome.
This highwayman stopped the
runabout with shot in the air. Then
he ran forth from the tomb that had
concealed him-the hold-up happen
ed on the Alpian Way-and found to
his surprise only woman in a little
car.
Where, madam, is your hus-
band?' he demanded, sternly and sus-
piciously.
He's under the seat she an

Then, said the highwayman, I
won't take anything. It's bad enough
to have a husband like that without
being robbed into the bargain. "

EFFORTS TO SETTLE
DISPUTE HAVE FAILED

BELFAST, Aug. 5.-The strike
situation is again grave. The efforts
made to settle the Carriers dispute
have failed and all negotiations on
this subject have been broken off.
The Carriers declare they will fight
to finish. The coal mems dispute
has again broken out, involving two
important firms. Police who were
protecting wagons were today stoned
by mill workers. Further transfers
of men of the Irish constabulary have
been effected.

OF Interest to All Mining Men.

To a large number of residents OF
Ely a thorough knowledge of the
science of modern mining is almost
indispensable. No industry has pro-
crossed so rapidly In the last few
years as has the mining industry. To
succeed one. must be thoroughly
posted on these modern methods and
developments. And the very best
and cheapest way to get this neces-
sary training is by enrolling now in

PROMPTNEss IN MAILS.

The very careful way In which the
governments postofiice department
looks after Its contracts Is evidenced
by the remonstrance which comes
from the western railway officials in
conference In Chicago. To the sur
prise Of the average layman 1t is thus
discovered that fines are assessed by
the government upon such roads as
persistently fail to deliver their mail
on schedule time. One official de-
clared that the fines levied against
his road amounted to $4,000. in n
single quarter, while somewhat SIM
liar conditions were reported on other
roads. 1t seems that II the mails on
any route are late ten times que :
ter without reasonable and ample ex-
cuse. involving accident and delay, n
fine Of fifteen per cent on the mail
pay for transportation is enforced
The remonstrance will doubtless call
for action later on by an assistant
postmaster We trust, how
ever, that no cutlery OF the railroads
holding the contracts will be allowed
to influence the governments insist
ence upon such absolute promptness
In the delivery of mails as is possible
under the most disciplinary methods.
