street beginning at ]. H. Whetzers
store. but as frightened off after car
rying on three different attacks
First he put his fist through the win

the blood left behind must have cut
his hand pretty badly. Next he
threw large stone through the par
Tor window of Mr.. Jacob Taylor. who
lives a few doors above the Whetzel
store. The stone struck the piano and
did some little damage, He hurled an,
other rock through the glass in the
front door of the same house. scatter

The man and his friend made quick
time from this place to the storeroom
of c. L. Miller, at the intersection OF
Queen and Second streets. Here he
made the third and la 81 attack, smash

in the front of the store with three

Mr. Fitzgerald to Confer With Mr.,
Murray Tomorrow.
MAY REMAIN WITH B. & 0.
One Western Road Has Made Him
Flattering Offer But He Wouldn't
Mention Name.

Baltimore Jan, 1.-Mr. Thomas
Fitzgerald, who resigned his po-
sition as general manager Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad on
Saturday, returned Tuesday night
from Chicago. where he had been for
the past three days. But little light
was thrown on the real cause Of Mr.
Fitzgerald's resignation by reason OF
his presence in the city, as he declin-
ed to make any statement when seen
at his apartments in Earl Court, soon
after arriving In Baltimore, further
than to say that he would most likely
call on President Oscar G. Murray
either today or tomorrow, at which
time something definite would be de-
termined upon
What will be done at this confer.
'ence the former general manager did
not say; in fact. he explained that he
was not in position to forecast what
would transpire when he again meets
Mr.. Murray. At this time, he went
on to say. matters were in such
shape not to permit him to make any
statement whatsoever, and that he
preferred to remain silent so far as
his resignation is concerned until af-
ter he had an opportunity to confer
with the, president of TIE road again.
Mr. Fitzgerald declined to answer
the question as to whether he would
remain In the service of the road
which ne had served so long, but in
timated that his future, in measure,
rested with the steps taken by Mr..
Murray to create a position for him.
AS has been before made public"
said Mr.. Fitzgerald. Il did see Mr..
Murray before leaving for Chicago,
and he assured me that another posi-
tion would be created. Further than
this ! know nothing, and do not care
to make any statement. The less said
about the whole affair now, the better, |
and therefore, as others have done no
talking, | am not going to begin now.
IN fact really do not know what to
say and the best way out of t e diff |
ficalty is not toefnake any sort of a |
statement.
4 am utterly unable to tel my
friends that will remain with the |
Baltimore and Ohio, and on the other !
hand, can't say that | will not 1t all |
depends aqon what takes place when

Mr. Fitzgerald then referred rather
feetingly of his long connection with |
the Baltimore and Ohio and then de-
clarea that he would hate to go else

THE Baltimore and Ohio was my !
first love, said he, and | have de-
voted all my time to it. have known
many Of the men for number Of /
years, and have come to love them,
and of course, it would be hard to
take up work elsewhere"
While away the former general man
ager admitted that he had looked |
over the Western fed while out in
Chicago, as he said he did not know
what might happen, and he wanted to |
be prepared. One road he declared |
had made MIN fiattering offer but he |
declined to mention the name of the |
road which desired his services.

HUBBARD ON HEALTH LAWS.

Ebert Hubbard says some excellent
things, occasionally and in his hay
stack Of words It is often possible to
find a needle of good sense and good
advice. In a recent article on health,
homely yet vital subject, he gives
to the world some wholesome advice.
advice which would save people mil
lions in doctors bills. if followed
closely and practiced with will.
He says on the subject of health:
The laws of health are very simple,
and for the most part are understood
by all people of average intelligence.
one reason why we do not all have
good health is not because we are ig-
rorant. but because inertia has US by
the foot. The trouble is in our heads
we lack will.
The secret of Muldoon's success lies
t.. that one thing-he supplies the will,
for a consideration, which bis clients
lack. God knows, he earns his money,
Tor ne has to bump up, catch-as-catch-
can, against a lot of inert grumpiness,
and put it three points down.
If a high degree of health were the
lie instead of the exception, we
would cease to talk about it. We dis
cuss health, because pallor ,languor,

Even so years ago, the man who

garded as reckless Of both health and
rloney. 1t was an event! The water

SAYS MARRIAGE INsUREs uFE.

\ German scholar named Lange
who has given much attention to the
question whether married men or
bachelors live the longer, records his
emphatic verdict in favor of the mar
ried men. He has studied tile sicR
funds and Insurance statistics of Ed,
rope and America, and this is his sol
emn conclusion:
Not only do married mer live long
er, but they are more immune. as re-
CARDS sickness. Lange has pile OF
statistics from places whsre, variou.
epiUemics have prevailed. the range
covering Hamburg, Liverpool, Chi.
cago, Rome. and in every case, wheth-
er the disease has been cholera, ~.
phus, smallpox or measles the
bachelors have caught the disease
first. have succumbed first. and
shown by far the highest rate of NOR
tality. 1t is when they become some
what aged that bachelors show the
greatest tendency TO illness.
1t speaks volumes for their selfish
and one-sided way of life that thc dis
eases to which they are most proT {
are diseases Of the organs and diges.
tion. From diseases Of the throat they
are peculiarly free whatever this may
signify.
Their hearts, such as they have
are in a bad way. Professor Langt
says diseases of the heart in bache.
lors are more numerous and take fan
more dangerous forms than among
married men. What does this signify
Does it mean that the hearts of the
selfish ones grow bad" from want
of movement and the practice ot love
and charity? Lange does not say.
Another point: Madness and lu'
macy in all their terrible shapes are
more frequent among bachelors. Any
psychiatrlss in good practice will con.
firm this. There are wards in public
asylums where among certain kinds
of lunacy quite so per cent are bache'
lors, and the strange thing Is that
they are mostly incurable cases.
The moral is obvious.

ally as to actually reduce the produc-
tion Of wheat or corn. 1t has always
been profitable to grow wheat ami
corn, while it has not been profitable
to mine copper during the past year
and a half
Although the demand for It has in
creased with the extension OF cleo
tricity, yet the gamblers who control
the copper market have simply held
down the price and prostituted the
commodity until the production has
fallen off.
Copper has a legitimate place in the
Industrial life of the world. The use
OF this metal is increasing rapidly and
there is no excuse for a restricted
production, but nevertheless the gam
bier has hammered it down, in price
and production until it is ION the

street.
During the month of May there was
al increase of about 100000 pounds
of copper output as compared with
April, but production was still about
100000 pounds under May of last
year and 1S,O0OOOO pounds under
1906, due largely to the continued
shut down of the Cananea properties,
The Boston News Bureau figures
the production of copper in the
United States, Mexico and Canada,
for May, at 9O.5GO, 600 pounds last
year and 1OS,SOO,OOO pounds TWO years

For the first five months of this
year the production Of copper is near
iy SO,OOO,OOO pounds behind last year
There is now practically no restric-
tion of copper output in Arizona. and
the properties there are prepared to
add several million pounds Of copper
