Such a Fine Fellow.

Such ffne chow.
If the American husband Is caught
in the act of admiring himself in the
glass and looking chesty it is doubtless
because he has been reading that the
Rev. DR.. Aked says he is the best hus.
band in the world. being far superior
in every way to the pauper husband of
Europe or the prince husband either.
American wives should pause occa-
sionally to congratulate themselves on
the snap they have. They should also
refrain from breaking the furniture in
resentment If hubby breaks away and
goes to n ball game once in awhile.
Their lot might have been cast in Eu-
rope, where husbands are cast in diff
ferent mold and where as yet he is but
partially subdued. or in Asia. where he
thinks he is superior being and that
he is doing her favor in marrying
her. Still. sometimes out of curiosity
the American woman must wonder. If
she has the best husband in the world,

Wants Hughes to Pull Out.

Chicago. June 16.-Congressman Par

sharp telegram to Governor Hughes, in

is practically assured and that Hughes
was probably out of the running, and
advised the governor there was gen

state. But SO long as the delegation
was bound by its obligation to Hughes
it was impotent to secure the recogni-

York was entitled.
He called to mind the language of
the resolution instructing the delega-
ton to vote for Hughes until he was
nominated or withdrew, the intimation
being that the delegation was power

Cummins might be nominated for vice
president than that Dolliver might be

different. They do not take kindly tC

NEW TELEPHONE LINES.

BUSINESS IMPROVING
OUTLOOK ASSURING
BASIS FOR HOPE THAT MARKET
WILL he HIGHER BEFORE ENH
or YEAR, SAYS GEORGE WAL.
KER IN COPPER LETTER.

In his weekly copper letter George
/ Walker says: Copper has had reac-
ton, but at this writing is stronger
again. Lake is 1874 to 13 Is. and
electrolytic is 13 Is cents per pound
The asking prices of the largest pro-
ducers and selling agencies are
i higher than those quoted, there be-
/ ing a quite general disposition TO re-
fuse To make sales below IA cents for
lake and 13M cents for electrolytie
/ 1t is understood that lake and cleo
trolytic could have been purchased at
131a to 1875 cents last Monday.
One of the strong supporting fac
tors in the market is said to be a
large short interest in copper war
rants in London. Ii is claimed that
large lines were put out by Euro
pean spectators on the basis of
about 3 cents per pound for refined
copper. The market is now three
quarters of cent or more against
bear traders. and they are using ev-
cry means in their power to depress
prices.
The relatively weak statistical po-
sition of the metal is the explanation
for the bear operations. The foreign
visible supply of copper is more than
three times what it was a year or two
ago. Ii is known positively that sew
eral foreign consumers have bought
considerably in excess OF their inn
mediate needs. in taking advantage
of the low prices ruling six or eight
months ago Producers are sold pref
~ well up to date. but none of them
have sold their production in adj
vance. Some producers are carrying
small stocks of copper which they
could. and probably would like to
deliver Immediately for cash. In a
general way this is a summary of a
fairly healthy trade condition but
in the ease of copper il can hardly be
SO considered, as il does not reject
nearly as strong a position rs the
copper trade normally occupies.
The future price of copper depends
entirely on the business situation y

trial conditions will cause heavy buy
ing of copper If the months of Sep

as those months did over the two pre-
