Reforming Her Vocabulary.

A young woman of Quaker descent
according to the New York Sun, is
now making an attempt to eliminate
from her vocabulary the forms of
speech peculiar to that sect.
'All my life" she said, Il have used
my 'thees' and 'thous' as my father
and mother and my grandfathers and
grandmothers did before me. | was
SO accustomed to those expressions
that it never occurred to me that there
could be any disadvantage in their pc
culiarity. But when | went to work
In a dry goods store l was disillusion-
ed. l found then that Quaker speech,
especially behind the counter, makes
mark of the speaker. In our store
l met other clerks with every imag-
Unable kind Of foreign accent, but
nobody pays any attention to them.
It is only I-poor with my Quaker
theeing and thouing that catches the
ear Of the multitude.
"'Why, you use the Quaker dialect,
don't you? How funnyT says one per-
son after another, with suddenly
aroused interest
"This curiosity concerning me and
my dialect has become very annoy
ing, and am trying to stick to
straight English"

FAMOUS OLD MINE |S GOOD PRODUCER
 AGAIN
vuLrURE MINE, RECENTLY PUE- CHASED BY BOSTON SYNDI-
 CATE, BUSY AGAIN.

PRESCOTT, November ll.-Thirty men are now employed at tho Vulture mine purchased few months ago by a Boston syndicate. Director Hutchin- son is authority for the statement that large body of ore was found in a drift leading from the old workings, which are now caved into an abyss 200 feet deep. The ore carries average gold values of $35 to the ton. The dis covery was made while the miners were repairing a cave.
 A force of mechanics has been em- ployed during the last few weeks re- pairing twenty stamps of the old eighty.stamp mill. Examining the boil CTS few days ago, the discovery was made that both large boilers were use- less. Now boilers will be purchased and installed as soon as possible.
 The Vulturc mine has record in gold production of $ls,0oo,ooo. It was discovered in 1863 by Henry Wicken- burg, who is generally considered to have been son of the founder of the famous Krupp gun factory in Germany. It's history is one of successive law suits, shutdowns, and thefts of its rich golden treasures. One of is superin- tendents was killed while conveying a large amount of bullion from the mine overland to Tucson. The bullion was taken by the murderers, who escaped capture.
 The famo of the richness of the Vul- ture ores spread all over the west soon after it's discovery, attracting hundreds of hardy prospectors, miners and for tune hunters to the district. A claim jumper disputed Wickenburg's right to the property, claiming that he was not

The clock on the wal was scanned anxiously from time to time by every one in the room, and still the justice read on.
 Tho suspense was awful.
 Attorneys Jones and McCollum drew up their chairs and chafed each other in an effort to cheer the defendant. She looked over their heads at the court, her features showing that the strain was beginning to tell.
 At 5:25, the court spoke up.
 "There are several points in this tes- timony which are not quite clear," he said. "There are some things which could only be brought out by further investigation. Still, on this evidence, I do not feel warranted in holding the defendant to the grand jury"
 "You are discharged" he added, turning to Mrs. Hessler.
 For little while, she did not seem to understand, but George Hessler, her husband, was on his feet in an instant,

STOCK MARKET
 HEEDS WARNING
PERFORMANCE OF HARRIMAN PA CHIC OPENS EYES OF CON SENTATIVE ELEMENT-LONDoN METAL MARKET FALLS.

NEW YORK, November ll.-To day g sequel to yesterdays market per. formancc in the two Hartman Pacific stocks opened tho eyes of the more con servative element to the fact that spec. plation was entering on a reckless and hazardous stage. Comparison of the action of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific directors in confning themselves to a declaration of dividends on rates which have prevailed for two wears with the briliant-hued rumors kept in circulation yesterday in con. uection with the rise in stocks, was a warning which proved q sufficient check. From ll2k, at which Southern Pacific left of Monday night, its rise 10 ll9lS, with a closing price on Tues day of ll77s, was accomplished by re- corded sales on the stock exchange of POI 800 shares.

BRIGHT FUTURE OF
 COPPER INDUSTRY
Some Striking Figures of Its Increased Uses-Enormous Consumption in
 Electrical Industry.

BOSTON, November l0.-Frank Fayant, in copyright letter publish ed by Thomas Gibson, says of copper:
 The use of copper in the electrical industry may be indicated by few striking facts. The amount of copper in Bell telephone lines increased from 39o,ooo,0oo pounds in 1905, to 375,OoO,, GOO pounds in 1906, to 430,Ooo,0 pounds in 1907, and it will soon reac h half billion--a consumption before the collapse, of a million pounds of new wire a week, more copper than all the mines of the country produced when the telephone was introduced and the Anaconda was opened up thirty years ago. The Bell wires, strung out in one line would reach thirty-seven, times as far as the moon. The 50,000 miles of electric car lines in the country now have lOo,000,0Oo pounds of copper in conductors, and the country has only begun to build trolley lines. To carry electric power from generating stations, 100000 miles of wire, weighing 50o,- 100000 pounds is now in use. Only a tenth of the power of the country is now generated electrically. The 200,. 900 miles of ocean cables contain l0o,- 000,000 pounds of copper.
 Our normal consumption of copper for wire is now close to 100000, 900 pounds a year, with l50,000,000 pounds more used in the electrical industry in the manufacture of machinery. When VIC take up steam railroad electri6ca- ton in earnest there will be an enorm- ously increased demand for copper. Following the electrifcation of the ter minals in New York, Philadelphia, Bos- ton and Chicago, will come the use of electric power on main lines with con gested trafic-the Hudson division of the New York Central, the New Haven from New York to Boston, and the Pennsylvania from New York 10 Phil adelphia. Italy has begun the eleS. trifcation of 1000 miles of road, Ger. many is entering on an electric railway era, and in England electric power would seem to be the only salvation of the English railroad companies.
 The American copper industry has grown at an astounding rate. We have just stopped to catch our breath. Cop per is still in it's infancy. When we began using the telephone and the eiec- tric light thirty years ago our copper production was 5o,00o,o0o pounds year; when the electric street car was introduced twenty years ago we were turning out 25O,oOo,oOo pounds year; when the era of long distance power transmission opened little more than ten years ago we mined 5oo,Ooo,ooo pounds of copper; now our mines are on a 1000, ,O00,O 900 pound basis, with the era of steam railroad electrifcation just begun.
