The Copper Issues.

Trippe & Co.,, New York City, write
 as follows: The depression in copper
 has now been under way for approxi-
 mately eighteen months and the pros
 poets for a gradual recovery are bet ter than they have been at any time since the downward movement began. Stocks of copper in this country amount to practically nothing, al though Europe has considerable cop per in stock that must yet go into final consumption. The large producers and selling agencies have sold their
 possible supplies well into the better part of next month, and another buy ing movement before November lst would certainly result in higher prices for the metal. The most conservative copper interests declare that as re- suit of the heavy falling off in copper production over the last eighteen months d full resumption of copper consuming concerns would result in a copper famine. While the copper consuming companies are now Operat- ing their plants on about a 60 per cent basis, there is every reason to believe that this branch of industry will improve with that of steel, in which case a corresponding improve ment in metal prices would follow. This would mean gradual increase in the earnings of the various copper companies and larger dividends to shareholders. The improvement in the copper situation since the first of the year has enabled the Amalga- mated Copper company and its sut- to restore 2 large portion of the surplus used for the payment of dividends during the depressed period and it would not be surprising if Wall street, in the not far future, began to discount a return to higher dividend levels

LOWHTER AGAIN
MAKES ADDRESS
Illinois Glee Club Delayed But
Will Be Here This
Evening.

The daily session of the Clarks-
burg Chautauqua Association opened
Friday with a concert by the Illinois
Glee Club. This is their first ap-
pearance here, and judging from the
liberal applause which was accorded
them, II is hoped that 1t will not be
their last Several selections were
rendered by the club from the best
composers, but number Of popular
and humorous songs were also given.
Other features of heir performance
were bell solos and saxaphone mu-
sic.
At o'clock Writ Lowther COM
menced another address. on the sub
ject. THE Mission of the Poet" Mr..
Lowther is well liked as a speaker by
the clarksburg people, and the fact
that many of his old frineds and rel
atlves live in Harrison county adds
great interest to his addresses.
The Illinois Glee Club was delayed
in arriving but will render a concert
tonight.
The attendance at Thursday eve
ning's session was nearly 500.
At 1880 o'clock the last concert OF
the Brockway Ladies' Quartette was
given. consisting of readings. violin
and piano solos, and vocal duettes
and quartettes.. These ladies render

well received by the audience.

Of thirty minutes duration. There
are several sorts of false greatness,

three divisions: Those who are con-

power over men; (2) because Of their
noise. and CD because they look
great. All this sort of greatness. de-

HISTORY OF
INTEREST TO
THE CRITIC
Comparison in Reference to
Punishment of Gamblers is
Given for His Benefit.

In commenting on the trial OF Will
liam Mays in mayors court on the
charge of gambling, some one signing
himself as "A Citizen" says:
This case, however, affords a COM
parison more to the purpose. Under
the rule OF that political organization,
OF which the distinguished counsel
for Mays is luminary, 1t was the
practice, whenever a gambler or 9TH
er offender of like dignity SO far OBJ
truded himself upon teh notice of the
police, that they were compelled to
arrest him-usually during the street
cleaning periods which preceded
municipal elections-to take cash
deposit, usually s25, as bail for his
appearance in the police court, and
upon his non-appearance to answer
the charge, which customarlly hap
pened, a mere fine of not more than
$40 was imposed and the deposit ap-
piled to the payment OF the penalty. :"
For the benefit of "a Citizen" the
Telegram gives here the result OF an
investigation of the mayors docket
under the present administration,
from which result, II he can fnd any
consolation, he Is welcome to It:
The docket for May 10 shows that
four men arrested for gambling put
up $21.60 each for their appearance
for trial, but they did not appear and
the amounts we're forfeited. One
man was fined $4,000 and given 80
days, but be appealed.
The docket also shows that on
June 29 two men were fined $1,000
and $1.60 costs each for gambling
and conducting gambling room.
They paid 1t and were released. Four
others were fined $1,000 and $3.50
costs each, which they paid, and were
released. One gambler got ten days
in default OF the payment OF fine.
On August 10 the record shows
that $50 was forfeited for conducting
a gambling room and that three 9TH
ers charged with gambling put up
$25 each for their appearance and
that these amounts were forfeited
and the persons we're not prosecuted.
"A Citizen" probably concludes by
this time that his criticism had best
been left unmade.

|SWishel,

Says Bell
Railroad Conductor Says the
Swisher Sentiment is
Predominant.
ALL ARE TO LINEUP
He Thinks for Him Who Stands
Out for the Interests
of Labor.
I F.
ALL ARE TO LINEUP

R. F. Bell of SIS Raymond street,
Fairmont. was In the city last eve-
ming. Mr.. Bell is a we'll known rail-
road conductor on the Wheeling de
vision OF the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road and a member of lodge No. 497,
%. r. c., at Keyser.
Mr.. Bell stated that he was IN close
touch with the railroad men at Graf
ton, Fairmont and Benwood, and ex-
pressed the ouiuion that he believed
he knew their sentiments pretty well
on the gubernatorisl question.
"A majority Of the railroad men,
where / have BEEN" said Mr.. Beli.
''are favorable to swisher for govern
or and what objection may exist
among us ] think will be overcome
before the campaign progresses much
farther. I am in daily contact with
my fellow rallroaders and find SWISH
,er sentiment predominant among
them at Grafton, Fairmont and BEN
wood. ~
81 am personally acquainted with
Mr.. swlsher and worked with him in
the coal mines at Montana. I have
every confidence in him in the world
and know that he appreciates the po-
sition OF all laborIng men ana Is the
friend.
I'VE railroad men like, the attitude
he takes in reference to the labor
question, as he has come out square
ly in announcing his platform and Is
in favor of organized labor.
Again, Mr.. Swisher is running on
a state platform adopted at Charles
ton that declares with emphasis that
labor has the right to organize. The
platform takes a decided stand in
favor Of this, while the Demo-
cratic platform does, not even pre-
tend to cover It, In fact, says nothing
about the labor Question.
you may state that in so far as
am able to gather and am Informed
the railroad men will largely
vote for Charles W. swisher for gov
ernor Of West Virginia"
