COMMENT.

COMMENT.
 What is it that saves the boys?" asks a Kansas City paper. Sometimes it's a shingle and sometimes it's a trunk strap, and sometimes its a hickory stick. The Youngstown Telegram, discussing ''Women in the Air,'' reminds one that women are very seldom up in the air. The theory that the bacillus has made man what he is today seems borne out by the individuals who are nothing more than microbes now.
 How much of us is alive?" asks con- temporary. Most any part of us is cap- able of feeling a pin prick.
 What's in a bill?' asks the Florida Times Union. The Lord only knows what's in the Fuller bill.
 Thank heaven, Hartman is better! It was hard matter to borrow dollar around the office last week.

MINING MEN BUILD ROAD
OVER THE C0URBETT DIVIDE
Prepare to Haul Ore to the Mill of
the New Bonnie Clare
Company

Anticipating the building of a branch
line from Bonnie Glare station, Nevada,
on the Tonopah & Tidewater, the mine
owners of the Gold Mountain district
in the region of Old Camp have built
wagon road over the Courbett divide,
to connect with the Bonnie Glare COM
panys wagon road. Ore is now being
hauled to the railroad, a distance of ten
miles. from properties operating in that
section
When the branch line is built the
New Bonnie Clare company will be
ready for the delivery of ore to its mill,
and will treat a limited amount of Gus
tom ores. There are several mines in
the vicinity that will be able to get
action on ores of a grade too low to
stand the present wagon haul and
freight transportation to the smelters
The New Bonnie Clare company ex-
poets the first consignment of it's new
mill equipment to arrive by November
10, and the entire equipment is to be
delivered by December 10.

Conflicting reports come from the rich
strike at Bannock, near Battle Noun
tain, New. and only development work
can establish the value of the find.
Mining men who have visited the place
all declare that the sensationally rich
seam of gold is apparently a pocket in
the country rock, and that there is no
sign of a ledge. They agree, however,
that there is a chance Of locating a
permanent vein, and that the simple
fact that such rich ore exists indicates
that somewhere in the section mine
may be found. AS usual in such stam-
pedes, the townsite man and the pur-
veyor of refreshments, both liquid and

HAMS JURY COMPLETED.
Every Member Save One Is Married
hany with Family.

Flushing, N. T. April 27.-After sew
en- days Of tedious examination of
talesmen before Justice Garretson in
the supreme court here, the jury was
completed today for the trial of Capt.
Peter c. Hams, Jr., u. S. A, for the
murder of William E. Annis at the
Bayside Yacht club last August. About
400 talesmen in all were examined.
All the jurymen with one exception
are married men with families.
The defense has fought all along for
married men and peremptorily chal-
lenged the few bachelors who have
qualified.
Captain Hains remained silent
throughout the proceedings, without
even consulting with his lawyers.
District Attorney Dewitt will make
his opening address to the jury at the
convening Of the court tomorrow and
expects to present the states case be-
fore adjournment is taken for the day.
The idea that a lunacy commission
will be appointed to pass upon the
captains present mental condition is
dominant in the minds of those, who
have followed the proceedings. II this
be done it will come as soon as the
first evidence of insanity is presented
by the defense.
Otherwise the trial is likely to last
four or five weeks and thirty or forty
witnesses, including the insanity ex-
perts, will be called by both sides.

For the first time, Rogers appeared

and said: Don't you talk to me in

I'll meet you at any time you say
so,' answered the prosecutor.

Those in favor of the measure were

cases they paw the Doctors bill of en-

President Hadley's Letter.
President A. 4. Hadley of Yale sent
the following letter to Senator Fem
chairman of tho committee:
IMy attention has been called to a
proposed amendment to an act con-
cerning the employment of minors and
women (chapter 251 approved July 81.
1902, by which amendment it is pro-
vided that mercantile establishments,
by giving notice of the intention to
employ minors and women for not over
ffty-fve hours a week, in June, July
and August. may be allowed to en-
ploy them sixty hours week during
the remainder of the year. SO far as
l can Judge the amendment ought not
to pass. You will observe that it
lengthens the average hours OF en-
ployment of women per week, and in
the second place introduces that sort
ders any labor law absolutely worth
less: if a law of this kind is allowed
to pass it should be accompanied with
very stringest provisions regarding
seats, lunch hours, rest time. etc.
am sorry to say that the practice of
mercantile establishments throughout
the state in the matter Of the care Of
women employees is less good than that
Of the larger manufacturing establish
ments
Il trust you will not regard it as an
improperly for me to add that on
your shoulders as chairman of the
committee on labor rests a very grave
responsibility to see that the health of
future generations is not undermined
by selfish interests and that this pro-
Iosed amendment looks on the face of
it like one of the efforts to sacrifice
the health of posterity to putting dol
lars into somebody's pocket"
