Moneys Part in Marriage.

Scores OF persons lose their chances
OF being happily married through MAX
Ing an unnecessary obstacle OF money.
The importance OF II is often exagger-
ated. Many a man hesitates TO pro-
pose TO n girl because OF his small in
come. Very often much misery. mis-
understanding and tangled lives result
from the silence. More unfortunate
love affairs are the. result OF what has
not been said than OF spoken words.
When a mar has a small sure in
come. and a prospect OF increase.
there Is no legitimate reason for his
% speaking OF his love; no reason
for that matter. TO prevent marriage.
People are so desperately afraid
though. OF beginning married life In
a small way. They fear the sacrifices
which they will be called upon 10
make-of the criticism to which they
will be subjected. Many years OF hap.
piness are lost In this way. * is such
n mistake for young people to want TO
start marriage IA the state that their
parents are ending IT,
To delay marriage until "a "comfort.
able" income Is available is to prove

"A BITTER PILL"

The Democrat says that the decision
in the case, brought against Darling
ton, by Reynolds, who claimed the
fixtures of the old defunct Gme ter
City bank, gave Reynolds verdict
of about $500, is "bitter pill" for
Darlington. Now well posted man,
and an old timer, tells us that al the
Interest Darlington ever had in the
matter was that he bid the fixtures in
1cr, and at the request, of the county
officials who were selling them to get
the taxes due the county, that Dar.
lington gave his time and went to
some trouble to help the county treas
urer collect the tax and that he did
it without pay or profit. Our inform
ant also told us that if we would
look up the Democrat issued on, or
about, the date of the sale, we would
find that Colonel Day highly compli-
mented Darlington for his part in the
affair and said Reynolds was trying
to beat the county out of its taxes
when he claimed the fixture. We don't
know the exact story but we car lool,
it up mighty easy if there is any
call to do so.

COLORADO'S GOLD AND SILL
YER PRODUCTION in 1911

Colorado will show decreased output
for 1911 in all the metals exccpt zinc,
in which there was a material in
crease, according to Charles w. Her
derson of the United States geologi-
cal survey.
The Globe, Leadville and Pueblo
smelters were operated continuously
but, as has been the case for several
years, not at full capacity, Owing
to the floods in the San Juan region
and the consequent damage to the rail
roads, ore from Silverton, Rico ard
Telluride was not available and the
Durango smelter was closed in No
vember for the winter. The Salida
smelter was active during the year.
The semi-pyritic plant at Golden was
in operation almost continuously from
the first of the year until November
and treated larger tonnage than in
1910. The United States Zinc COM
pahy's plant at Pueblo was steadily
operated.
The San Juan district showed de-
crease in output of all metals EXCEPT
zinc, all the counties contributing to
the decrease. The Camp Bird mine,
as shown by its report for the year
ending June 80, 1911, produced 1916
tons, yielding $22.s9 in gold per ton,
as compared with 1924 tons, yielding
$33.18 per ton, the preceding year.
The ore reserve on June 80, 1911, was
3S.145 tons. The Tom Boy and Lib
erty Bell mines, at Telluride, produced
increased tonnages but of lower grade.
According to preliminary figures,
compiled by the director of the mint,
the gold production in Colorado was
19,153,s60 in 1911, against $20,526,-
500 in 1910; and the silver output was
7,530,940 fine ounces, valued at $4,,-
142,O17, against s,523,0OO ounces, val
ued at s4,602, 400, in 1910.

DISTRICT COURT.

Yesterday an information was filed
in the district court against Charles
Daley for inducing his daughter to
leave the state. His daughter was
the complaining witness against Ed
Lazarus who is charged with rape.
Attorney Charles A. Johnson filed a
motion to quash the indictment
against Daley and as we go to press
he is arguing the motion.
Ray Stock, one of the prisoners who
whitfield his way out of the county Jail
last August was arrested by Sheriff
McCluer last Sunday and in the dis
trict court today he pleaded guilty to
Jail breaking, and was sentenced to
fifty days in Jail. When arrested the
prisoner was chopping wood on Light
ner creek.
In the district court the case Of the
Western Elaterite company against
the Independent Hardware company
is still occupying the attention of six
jurymen. Perkins & Main are rep
resenting the plaintiff and McCIoskey
and Moody are loking after the inter-
ests of defendant.

CRIME STATISTICS OF
NEW YORK CITY

The records of the morgue and the
coroners of Manhattan for the year
1911 have been completed and make a
rather favorable showing. The rec
ords show that there were fewer
deaths by violence during the past
year than in 1910. The number Of
deaths which the coroners Of Manhat-
tan had to investigate last year was
about 5000, as compared with $3.50
in 1910. But in these 5000 suspicious
deaths there we're 100 only which were
caused by assaults, stabbing or shoot
ing. There were twenty less deaths
by shooting in 1911 than in 1910.
This YVES probably due to the enforce
ment of the Sullivan gun law. The
number of deaths caused by assaults
Of various kinds showed decrease Of
fifteen and, owing to some extent to
the Callan law fewer persons were
killed by being run down by automo-
biles.
During the past year 1920 bodies
were taken to the morgue and the
morgue officials were able to fnd
friends or relatives Of the dead in all
but $50 cases. Money and jewelry
aggregating in value more than $780,
900 was found on the bodies taken
to the morgue during the year, but
there was not single complaint Of
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-01-18

the loss Of either money or valuables
The efficiency Of the morgue and of its
attendants was put to the severest
test at the time of the Asch bailding
fire, when the partially charred bodies
of $50 persons were taken to the
morgue for Identification.
Although there have been fewer
homicides for assaults, stabbing and
shooting last year than the year be-
fore, the number of arrests fell far
below the average. There were only
thirty-nine arrests in all the 100 cases
of homicide. In seventy-one cases the
police were not able to produce any
defendant. The police also arrested
fewer persons in connection with
deaths by violence than they did rel
atively in 1910. For this the cor
oners hold responsible the demoraliza-
tion of the force by frequent changes
and shake-ups.
