COPPER INTERESTS SHOW
GREAT EARNING POWERS

NEW YORK, Nov. Reconsideration
of the earning power of the various
copper properties which may enter the
proposed copper combine was given to-
day by the financiers working out the
details of the merger.
1t was stated the earning power of
the copper refining and other COM
panies concerned was between SOS, ,000,-
600 and $30,000,000, based on 13-cent
copper.
These estimates of earnings, it was
said, included the economies to be ef-
fected by the consolidation and the
earnings of the United Metals Selling
company. the International Smelling
and Refining company and other prop
critics.

MIKES ATHLETICS AND
RELIGION SUCCESSFULLY

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ia. j.
Drexel Biddle is devoting four nights a
week to religious work. The success
he has met in building up his Bible
class in Holy Trinity church by mixing
athletics and religion has brought inVi-
tations from several other churches to
inaugurate his work with them.
In the Church of st. John the Evan
gelist, where he and his Bible class
took hold of the Sunday school which
had dwndled to the point of disband-
ment, Rev. Eward Earle, the pastor,
says the result has been to double the
attendance of the school. Mr.. Biddle's
work has made a big hit. He has
branches of his class in various parts
of the city, and all are fourishing.

country and stopping at designated
points to attract the crowds and dis
tribute literature. Another plan was
the sending out of souvenir postal cards
and the giving Of stereopticon lectures

NORWEGIAN WHALERs.
New Methods to Which They Have
Been Forced to Resort.

The Norwegian Storthing passed a law
some. four years ago making II unlawIul

en- in the interest of the fshcir,en, who
always had been of the opinion that the
destruction of the whales would mean
their own ruin. The people insist that
the whales. in pursuit of the shoal "t
herring and other fish in their wake. are
instrumental in bringing the fish under
their shores.
The Whaling companies were to some
extent remunerated for their losses in
the way of abandoned stations. etc, by

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Advertising the City.

IICSo.J
At the recent annual meeting Of the
Portland Board of Trade the subject
Of advertising the city was prominent.
1t appeared from the report of the adj
vertising committee that much had
been done in that direction; that over
$4,000 had been expended In advertising
in leading newspapers and magazines
the attractions of Portland as a sum-
mer resort; and that the committee
felt that double the amount could be
expended with profitable results; and
that the funds should be increased and
the work broadened SO as to make
overtures to industries employing skill
ed labor While we are on this sub
ject, it is of interest to note what they
are doing along the same lines else
where and particularly in the city of
Springfield, Mass. They have an enter
p. Using Board of Trade there. which

but in the common sense-tO sound

perloity as a summer resort: indeed it
could not very we'll do so. being an in

it does plume itself on being a city of

public buildings. busy marts and manu-
facturies, elegant residential districts,
center of wealth and culture-all of
which will no doubt be duly set forth in
the circulars sent out by the Board
of Trade.
One of the methods adopted by this
hustling body is the distribution of a
button marked "Springfield, Mass" All
patriots, especially drummers and
tourists. are expected to wear these
buttons and thus make the name of
their town known in divers and sun
dry places. Another method is the
placing of advertising stickers on ex-
press packages going thence. These
are features of a prize plan for which
$500 was awarded by the board. 1t
offered that prize for the best plan of
advertising the city. Nearly 200 con-
testants appeared. and many of the
suggestions were freakish and anus
ing. One man suggested a colossal
statue of George Washington, which
should attract sight-seers from all
over the country. Many proposed the
