ELKINSES STUDYING ITALIAN
Linguist Instructs Mother and Daughter-Preparing for Abruzzi.

Daugntef-TfeDarln TOT ADruZZl.
 Elkins, w. Va, Oct. 31.-For weeks Mrs Elkins and Miss Rather inc Elkins have been perfecting themselves in French and Italian. A Washington linguist is now at the Elkins home here, having spent the greater part of the summer. with tLe family instructing them in the lan- guage. Miss Elkins deyotes an al- lotted part of each day to this par ticular study.
 Miss Rosalie O'Brien, daughter of Judge Morgan O'Brien, of New York, who has been the guest of Miss Elkins, will return home tomorrow. Miss Elkins will entertain at hel home here next week two young soe ciety women of Washington, who, it is said, will act as maids of honor at her marriage to the Duke of the Abruzzi
 Senator Elkins, upon his return from New York this week, said he would not return to Washington for two or three weeks. Plans had been made to open the Washington home, and one of the servants was ordered to Washington yesterday, but upon receipt of cablegram late yesterday all plans for leaving Elkins next week were suddenly changed and announcement was made that the family would remain here indefin- itely. .
 The home here is being kept opeh unusually late this year for the pur- pose, it is said, of entertaining the duke on his arrival in this country, Miss Elkins, who is extremely fond of outdoor life, Is said to be desir- ous that the duke. shall visit the es- | tate here. In case he does, his visit will be extended. friend of the Fl. kins family says, to trip in the | family's private car through the coal mining regions and the big mining and lumber industries of Senator EIkins, out of which he had made 1 the Elkins millions.
 1 When Senator Elkins was asked i to-day when the wedding would take 1 place he reiterated Mrs Elkins's re ] ply of last Sunday. You must hay' patience and await developments. Senator Elkins said he had no know
 ledge of an early wedding for hil daughter to the duke, but he would
 not deny that such an event nigh ] take place later. When Senator El ' kins was asked If an oUncemen
 of the wedding was being deferret
 until after election for political "a vsons, owing to the intense opposi
 ton of the natives here to a roya
 alliance for his daughter, he smilc'

A peddler has been arrested ill Philadelphia charged with selling cocaine to a large number of school children in that city. If the accusa- ton is true the man is scoundrel and deserves to be severely punished. Hartford Times.
 Peddlers are given too much license anyway. One was noticed in Ex- change place the other day selling clothing, within a stones throw of several stores run by men who pay high rents and heavy taxes. This may be a free country and all that, but the man without dollar invest ed should not be allowed to do busi- ness in the doorway of the business man and merchant who has thousands at stake and is taxed to run the city government in all it's departments.

John D. Rockefeller said in an in- terview last summer that he loved every man and he must have meant it. He has now declared his inten- tion of voting for Judge Taft and when one recalls the persistency with which the administration has pur- sued the Standard oil Co, of which Mir Rockefeller is the recognized head, and as MT Taft is pledged to carry on that warfare, it is evident that Mir Rockefeller must have ! for giving nature to come out and say he will support him.

H, w. Rand and w. A. Wes-
eoe of Portland, Oregon, are
spending a few days in camp
this week. These gentlemen are
large stockholders in the Cali
fornia- -Pioche Company, who
own valuable properties immed-
lately to the south of town. Mr..
Rand was one of the incorpor-
ators of the above company, and
is very enthusiastic over the
outlook at present. Mr.. Wes-
coe has been interested with the
company for about one year; ne
having formerly held a profess
sorship in one OF the important
colleges of the northwest. but so
favorably impressed is he with
the conditions surrounding the
California; -Pioche properties, that
he is now devoting his entire
time to her welfare.
These gentlemen state that
plans have been perfected by
the company to rush the sinking
of the shaft now under way with
all possible speed, 50 that the three
hundred foot level may be reach

a sixty horsepower gasoline en-.

The load that has been hang
ing over the general stock mar
ket has been lifted, E. H. Har-
rimans' move in underwriting
the new issue of Erie 6 per cent
notes removed all possibility that
the road might have to go
through receivership, and at the
same time has stiffened the
backbones of the traders. The
short interest has grown to such
an extent during the past two
weeks that it will be easy for the
bull manipulators to advance the
market materially for the time
being. Any advance, however,
will be only a temporary advance
and stocks are bound to come
down later on.
The sound position for the
speculator is, therefore, to sell
on any FIVE or six point ad-
vance, and buy on any five or
six point decline. The market is
bound to be a seesaw market for
sometime, and in the opinion of
the best authorities nothing else
can be expected.
| For the investor there is but
one sound position, and that is
that stocks at these levels are
good for purchase. The inves-
tor should consider only their
intrinsic value and the income
return; he should consider mar
,ket fluctuations only with a view
to buying as cheaply as possible.
The investor should, therefore,
buy on the declines.
If the investing public coulc
once be convinced that there is
no money buying on a big bul
market, after a bull movement
has progress for some time, tina
public would make more anC
lose less.

necessary machinery for the
prompt and successful working
of the mine will be forthcoming
when required. No attempt is
being made at present to bring
the large tonnage to the surface,
it being the intention to stope as
soon as the shaft is of a suffi-
cient depth to be underneath the
ore body, thus making the ore
extraction much more economic.
VIM. Bailey is in charge Of the
mine at present, and is very en-
thusiastic over the showing, in
which opinion he is perfectly jus
titled, according to the state
ments of those who have seen
the mine and are in a position to
know. The mine is owned by
the Pioche-Demijohn Mining
company, composed principally Of
Salt Lake people, and it is ex-
pected that ere long they will
I be receiving large profits from
the property in the way of divi-
dends.

candle in the room near
