Admiral Dewey's Birthday.

Washington. Admiral George
Dewey was seventy years old Thurs
day. He is in splendid health and
robust in physique.
Among his callers were number Of
those who attended the admirals birth
day dinner last week, which was ad
yanced in date because President
Roosevelt expected. to be in Pine Knot
Va, today. These circumstances re
called a happy toast which the Presi
dent prepared when they drank to the
health of the admiral. 1t follows:
ITO the man who has done more fol-
and reflected greater glory on Amerlca
than any other man now living"
The toast was met with hearty re
spon3e from those surrounding the ad
miral's table.
At the meeting of the Naval Relief
Association the admiral was presented
with two silver ink wells. The health
of the admiral was drunk from de
canter, containing Madeira wine of the
vintage of 1S47. The decanter was
formerly the property of George Wash
ington, and Surgeon General Van
Reypen, who made the presentation
said i; was eminently fitting that the
health "of the other George, whom we
all love-" should be drunk from the
same decanter.

Sermons by Time,

81 have attended church in good
many different places. said the
southern man, but l had to come to
New York to see man preach hold
ing his watch in his hand. Down in
our part of the country the pulpit
orator is usually long-winded. He
has a certain subject in mind and han
certain things to say concerning it,
and he holds forth until he has said
them all if it takes till bedtime to
do 1t.
up here the time that can be de
voted to the delivery of sermon
appears to be limited. In order not
to overstep the bounds several clergy
men that l have heard talked liter
ally by the watch. They did not lay
it down or stick 1T into a convenient
pocket to be consulted occasionally,
but held it out face tip as constant
reminder that time Yves fleeting and
that other pressing engagements
awaited them. That may be an ex-
cellent preventive of weariness in
the congregation, but | must say it
makes me uncomfortable to have
spiritual advice measured by the min
ute and second. IN. Y. Press.

an effort is to be made to demonstrate
to the whole country what may be
accomplished in concerted religious
work, carried forward on strictly busi-
ness lines. The great revival is to be
under the Leadership " Rev. Edward
Biederwolf who plapned It.

You poor man." said Mr.. Henpeck.
who was for the first time seeing the
inside OF a lunatic asylum, how LONG

"Oh, yes; very we'll" replied the pa
tient; seven years. You see, they let
me do pretty near as l please because
I'm harmless"
Are you married?"
Sure. have a wife who used to
throw things at me every time l came
in the house."
How sad! Do you know how she
manages to live?"
She's getting along all right. Her
brother, who is a rich bachelor, is
takin' care of her. He never would
give up a cent, though, as long as
was able to work, confound him."

To Facilitate Land Entries.

Grand Junction.-One of the most
important changes in the land filing
laws made under the present admins
tration is announced in a circular
received here from r. A. Ballinger,
commissioner of the General Land Of
flee. The circular states that after
March /, 1908, the present forms for
all land entries will be done away
with and that instead of having six or
seven forms. only one will he used,
this being a consolidation OF all the
old forms. This action of the govern
ment cuts out much red tape which
mas long been considered unnecessary
and expensive.

Welded TO AN INDIAN.
Miss Cora M. Arnold of Denver Mar
rles Albino Chavarria of New
Mexico.

Denver-The News gives the fol
lowing account of the marriage of a
white woman to a Pueblo Indian:
Miss Cora Marie Arnold, step
daughter of the late George Wilder and
well known in Denver, was married
last Monday in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
to Albino Chavarria, a full-blooded In
dian. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Mr. Rendon, a Presbyte-
rian minister, and was witnessed by
the brides sisters, Misses Lillian and
Geneva Arnold, also of Denver.
The wedding was the end of ro-
nance which had its beginning five
years ago during the Mountain and
Plain festival in Denver. Chavarria,
chief of the Santa Clara Indians,
tribe of the Pueblos, was brought to
Denver with a large number of his
tribesmen for one of the exhibits.
Among those who visited the Indians
in their camp at City park was Miss
Arnold, who, upon seeing the broad
shouldered, pleasant-mannered chief
attired in native costume, Immediately
formed an attachment for him. She
made frequent visits to the camp, and
( later the Indian was invited to call al
her home.
Miss Arnold lived with her step
father and sisters in the Colonnade
flats, at Colfax avenue and Marion
street, and the family was one of the
most prominent on Capitol hill. Miss
Lillian Arnold was formerly a teacher
In the Denver public schools, and an
other sister is the wife of a United
States army officer
The Indians first visit to his sweet
heart was the cause of disagreement
| between her and the remaining mem
bers of her family. Objection was
made only to the Indians race, his
character being above reproach. Miss
Arnold, however, announced her in
tention to marry the chief despite
the objections of her family and
friends. Several ministers were asked
to perform the ceremony, but all re-
fused.
An attempt was made to have the
ceremony performed in Santa Fe, but
in that city also the clergymen re-
fused to officiate. Miss Arnold re-
turned to Denver alone, but the Indian
made frequent visits to the city, each
one of which was the cause of new
outburst of gossip.
Chavarria is fully civilized, religious,
fairly well educated and well to do.
He speaks the Indian and Spanish IAN
guages, but does not understand Eng
lish, and Miss Arnold set to work 10
learn the Spanish.
In April, 1905, George Wilder was
drowned in the Gulf Of Mexico while
enroute from Galveston to Havana. He
left a will in which he disinherited the
present Mrs. Chavarria because of her
refusal to give up her Indian lover
The other sisters were left the entire
estate, which consists of some OF the
best real estate in Denver.
After five years of effort the sisters
of Miss Arnold finally consented to the
marriage. and one month ago they
went with her to New Mexico. Cha
varria owns large farm near Taos,
New Mexico, which he cultivates him
sehE5,nd it is understood that the cou-
pie will make their home there. Cha
varria is forty-five years old, and his
wife is few years his junior.

1 was much interested in going through
the assay offices OF this great mine. The
ore has to be tested again and again to
know Just how the mine is working and
to be sure that nothing is lost. Something
like a thousand different assays are made
every day. A very little bit of ore is
taken each time, but the gold and silver
is all gotten out of it and then, by measur-
ing and multiplying, one can tell just how
much gold there is to the ton. In this as
say office lead is added to the ore and
from each sample comes a button of lead
about as big as the end Of your thumb.
In this lead is the gold. The button is
roasted in bone ash, during which process
the lead disappears and the gold only is
seen. The speck of gold is often not big
ger than the point of a fine needle, but
the Weighing machines are so fine that
the assay eIs can easily tell just how much
the stuff runs to the ton.

Electrical transmission Of energy by the

Magazine. requires the use Of wire or cable
heavy losses Of power that would result
from an attempt TO overcome the resistance
to the passage of the current in metals
that are poor conductors.
Copper is one Of the best known con-
ductors, and possesses noncorrosive quail
tiles that are valuable; but copper Is ex-
pensive anpd lacks tensile strength. For
economic reasons, tensile strength is a most
desirable quality in a metal used for line
work, while low cost is, Of course, of prime
importance, Steel possesses both strength
and rusts quickly when exposed 10 the ele-

Foreseeing the value Of a combination Of
the desirable qualities of these two metals,
inventors and metallurgists have made var
ious attempts to perfect a process OF coat
ing steel wire with copper.
Partial failures convinced a French
metallurglst, j. Ferrcol Monnot, that the
two metals must be welded together homo
generously. and he set TO work on the prob
lem. He finally achieved entirely salts

I can describe this better by taking you
with me on a trip over the reef and going
down into one of the mines. We might
start at johannesburg and go east and
west for sixty odd miles and see nothing
but mines all the way. We get the train
at Park station and are soon flying by
the great works with their mountains OF
tailings. We can see the black smoke
stacks cutting the sky at the front and
behind us, and We could throw a stone
into the great hills OF dazzlins white a
which have been left near the mine after
extracting the gold. On each OF those
hills cars are crawling up and down. Some
OF them are attached to steel cables,
which bring the refuse for several miles
and automatically dump 1t on the top
OF the hill. crawling on without stop
