1t is a curious fact, but none the less
a true one, that the passing events Of
the day have very little interest for
the majority of people.
OF curse every person knows who
the mayor Of the city is, and what
political party is in power. Many may
even know the name of the present
Governor of the State. but if you were
to ask them the duties of the Shade
Tree Commission, or what good the
public Fairgrounds did, the chances are
they would not know that either ex-
listed.
That such a condition really exists
was proved Thursday just prior to the
unwilling of the Doane monument in
the triangular tract north of Military
Park. Two women coming down town
on a Broad street car were attracted
by the crowd gathered there. for the
ceremonies.
.Oh, what's this? Tt looks like a
Maidstone said the older woman
'It's somebody's monument. 1 guess
they're going to unveil it," replied the
younger one. Don't let's go to

Proctor's and get out tickets before
they are all sold OUT

woman asked another at the corner of
Broad and Market streets. 1T must
be some holiday, but 1 can't remember
which one, can you?" and they con-
tinued on their rush for bargains, ignor-
ant of the fact that the memor of a
great man nj a great citizen was
being honored.
One of the party of young men
watched the parade with great interest.
When it was all over he turned to
his companion and said, ut was a
fine parade, but l don't. think it was
as large as the one they had last
year. which proved that he was a
little bit mixed up as to occasions.
Perhaps he had some target excursion
of last ear in mind.
And to think all this occurred on
the very day when Jew and Gentle,
priest and layman. rich and poo were
doing their utmost to perpetuate the
memory of one who devoted much of
his time to the uplift of the city. whose
civic pride was a thing most dear, and
who fostered MANY of the great insti-
tutions which we now enjoy.
What might we not do and what i'm
proveinents might we not see in our
municiple government if even the hum
blest of us would contribute our little
part. We women might not be able to
accomplish much alone. but we could
incite the men to better things. BY
initiating the example IF this great man
in the thingsah HI has done for Newark.
even in a small way, might result in
great things.

COLLAR PINS.

1t seems almost necessary to wear some
kind of a fancy pin to keep the collar from
spreading. and to hold in place whatever
bow or tie is worn.
AT present there is a great fad for wear
ing either a bird or quaint Egyptian pin for
this purpose.
Another favorite pin for the purpose is
the enameled or jeweled dragon fly for
holding the sides of the collar together
over a rabat or tab which has no bow.

AN IMMENSE SHOWING.
Mexican Mines Pay More Dividends
 Than U. s. National Banks.

The Wall Street Summary of New York prblIshes a very favorable article on Mexican mining investments anent the action on the mining law, in which are the following statements of in terest:
 In mineral production Mexico ranks first in silver. second in copper. fourth in lead and fifth in gold. Mexico will establish new high records for this year S6 important mines controlled by shareholders of this country. The showing will be made from almost 46O mines of the second and third class, in order of production, which also are controlled by American capital.
 Investments, in Mexican mines, rail roads and related industries to the credit of citizens of this country az gregate S1.OOO. O.OOO.OOO There are within the United States 267, ,OoO re- corded shareholders in these enter prises Seventy two thousand former citizens of the United States reside in Mexico and many of these are in charge of important mines and other industrial undertakings Three fourths of the dividend paying mines of Mex Ico are owned in the United States.
 The Mexican mines owned by Am erican thIs year will pay in dividends @ sum 24 in excess of the aggregate net earnings of all the National banks in this country during the last fiscal year. which was S79, ,S63. .S98. Those banks paid only 5 46l earnings to capital and surplus. Some of the sixth rate mines of Mexico are paying 10 to f5 per annum.
 Mining IS carried cn it 26 of the 3l states and territories of the Mexican republic and the minera l. output has doubled in 0 quarter of century.
 One half of the traffic of Mexican railways is for account of the mining industry and 62 per cent of her ex- ports are minerals and metals.-Chi- huahua Enterprise.

courtIand to the Front.

Probably no mining district in the country is coming to the front in such rapid strides as is the Courtland dis trict, which has in former times been designated as the Leadville country. General Manager J. H. Talbot, who is in charge of the Calumet & Arizona exploration and the Great Western Copper company at CourtlAnd, was in the city over night, and he stated that the two companies are employing about 200 men and that development work is progressing in a manner that is highly satisfa ctory to the manage ment. From other sources it has been learned that large ore bodies were be- ing opened by the O. & A. and Great Western, but MT. Talbot would give no detailed information on this score.
 The Great Western has IS it's largest stockholders the Young Brothers, of Olinton, Ia., who are reputed to be the richest men in that progressive city. J. w. Young Jr., the president of the company, has been spending much time in the camp and was in Bisbee yesterday on his way back to Clifton to spend the holidays, after which he will return to Courtland.- Prospector.

Does Mining Pay?

The National Banker in a recent issue makes the unequivocal statement that the combined dividends paid by the gold and silver mining companies of the United States are greater than the combined dividends paid by all the banking institutions in this coun- try. Also that the combined divid- ends paid by the copper mining com- panies of the United States are greater than the combined dividends paid by all the railroads of the United States, and 25 per cent. of all the freig ght handled by these railroads is either ore or some com modity connected with or used in the mining industry.
 For this some what astonishing and not generally known fact, the Brad street and Dun commercial ageu cies supply the addenda that Eut B per cent. of all legitimate mining invest ments fail. against 54 per cent. in general commercial hnes.-Miner.
