A STORY WITH
VARIATIONS


Directly across the harbor from the
city of Nassau. ~ p, there is an
island called Hog island. On the north
side of that island toward the ocean
there Is fine bathing beach which IS
much used in the tourist season in the
winter.
The fee for bathing Is % cents and
includes eating all the fruit that the
bather may wish. The fruit is peeled
and put on long sticks, which is con
sideJed the real way to have it.
ThjN is no limit.
Now It happens that there is a
story about certain bather and that
fruit privilege which is a fayor.te in
Nassau. At least ten Of every dozen
men will try TO tell you that story.
that is If you stay long enough In a
brief time like three hours you are
likely to hear It at least three times

came over and he ate bout 20 or

they met the purser. VINO was loafng

said after awhile. but I've never

They tell a story about the place
One day a fellow went over there and
ate about 30 oranges. By and by
maybe his conscience bothered him.
and he said to the cid fellow who
runs the place:
Guess I'm eating TOO much, eh?'
Oh, no says the old chap.
'p'raps that's how the island got its
name when one of you fellows came
along"
On board the boat when it left Mas
sau was a ~conch,T which is the Mas
sau name for an inhabitant of the
island of New Providence. He was
telling about the place one night and
suddenly turned to one OF the Ameri-
cans and said:

the lighthouse and the wreck just at
the harbor entrance? Well, that's
Hog island. It's great bathing

WILL GIVE AN
OPERA VERY
SHORTLY
First Rehearsal of Mikado
Had Last Night at Dr..
WalIdce'S Home.

Within the next few weeks it is
probable that this section will have
opportunity for enjoyment far be-
yond anything seen here for many
moons. A number of residents of Ely
City last night gathered at the resi-
dence of DR.. Wallace and took part
in the initial rehearsal of the Mikado,
which will be presented in the large
hall of the Thompson building,
after a time.
The affair will be under direction
and will be staged by Mr. and Mrs.
George Anand, both of whom have
had professional experience which
we'll fits them for the work A num-
Der of good voices were discovered
among those present last evening and
many of the parts were assigned.
Rehearsals will be held at regular
intervals in private homes. Tonight
the men who are to take part in the
opera will gather at the home of M
H. Fulmer, while rehearsal of the
women will be held Wednesday after
noon at the Wallace home.
In order to make this affair sue
oessful it is the desire of Mr.. Anand
that all persons in Ely City possess
ing musical talent be present at the
rehearsals. 1t is probable that the
date will be fixed within the next few
days for the performance.

TWO INDIANS AND
A NEGRO
DRUNK
Sunday Made Hideous
By Crew---City Law
Will Be Amended.

Trouble is in the breeze as the re-
suit of two Indians giving their
names as Gyp and Tom and a negro,
known as blue Steel" Williams,
having high old time Sunday night
with booze as the refreshments
served at their party. Both Indians
we're given 0 days yesterday. Will
Jams was not tried during Monday
but will have trial this morning, most
probably.
Whether the offense of furnishing
the liuuor on which the Indians ca
reused can be fastened on the negro
is considered questionable, but in
case this can be done, it is thought
likely that an example will be made
of him.
At the meeting of the city council
which will be held tonight Attorney
Foreman will present an amendment
TO the ordinance regulating sale or
furnishing by gift of liquor to min
ors, Indians, inebriates and others.
The ordinance will be much broader
in its lines than the old one. In this
furnishing Indians with liquor,
whether they are government wards
or not, will be made ground for pros
ecution. The maximum penalty for
the offense is $500 or Imprisonment

the condition of slave, and poor, and

All this was done, not by scheme

of his followers. The message of to-
day is the message through the lives
of believers. The end was accom-
rlished then and now by the exercise
of three paradoxical principles.

was to increase the love of man for
God and His purpose in the world
was to increase the love of man for
God and man for man. Nothing that
would in any way serve that end, if
it was without sin, was too small for
him to use. He realized that hos

The third principle is that reality

INVESTORSANXlOUS
ABOUT COPPER
PRICES

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The Com
mercial says: Brokers report a num-
Der of inquiries during the past few
days from customers regarding the
outlook in the copper market with
particular reference to it's applica-
ton to copper mining shares. The
advance during the past II days, par
ticularly among the curb copper
stocks, has brought a number of re-
quests for information regarding cop
per stocks. The market since the
new year certainly has lost a good
deal of that weakness witnessed dur
ing the past four months and the
slight improvement already in sight
has evidently made number look up
and make efforts to find out what it
was all about.
In the slump of October copper
prices declined even below averages
that the then gloomy outlook pre-
dicted. The crisis was passed on
November 81, as announced by the
New York Commercial, and since then
there has been gradual and slow
advance. The copper metal, which
was then quoted around 1212 cents a
pound, is now selling at 1878 cents
and better demand for the metal Is
slowly being developed
Cupper during the last year has
passed through one of the most re-
markable periods of rise and depres.
SIGN ever known in the entire history
OF the metal The cutting down OF
output resulted largely form the fact
that present day costs of producing
copper at some of these leading dis
tricts do not justify operations at full
capacity when the market price OF
the article falls to the level reached
| in October.
Since 1893, it is estimated by those
engaged in most extensive mining OPP
creations that the cost of copper has
increased about 33 per cent. In
creased cost of machinery and labor,
hosting from greater depths, and the
mining of less rich ore at lower lev
Iels have all been recent contributing
factors in increasing the cost per
pound of copper in bringing it to its
finished marketable state.
There are a few mines capable of
producing copper at unusually low
cost, but their capacity is limited, and
they should not be taken as a basis
in estimating the average cost at
other great mines. The consumption
of the world when at a normal rate
will need the production of mines
that cannot be profitably operated
with copper depressed below recent
figures. Special emphasis should be
laid on the fact that many manufac-
tarers and consumers have allowed
their stocks of copper to become very
much below that carried in prosper
Gus times.
There is no question that the ac-
emulation of stocks was greatly re-
duced by the heavy sales at the end
of October, although since then the
current production has increased
them again to some extent.
The day of large production of
cheap copper from Bingham, Ely and
elsewhere is close at hand.
