WILD FIGURING ON

NEW YORK. Oct. l0.-A fearful lot
OF Icing Is going on about the amount
Uf excess taxes the copper companies
will have to pay. The copper COM
psnics themselves are now figuring how
much allowance they will receive FOR
ore depreciation. That ls big Item.
When il has been taken OF, the excess

son with the wild stories now being
told. Unless the whole country Is 60

American people always have returned
to their senses sooner or later.
The lawyers for a cotton goods cor
poratton figured the corporations ex-
cess profits taxos at 100000. The cor
poration itself has now figured tho
taxes out and finds they cannot exceed
$4,000. That is an Illustration Of the
wild figuring that has been going on. II
Is now estimated by insiders that steel

In freezing, the fish are placed in big
pans and covered with water. When
frozen, each fish is surrounded by an
air tight envelope of ice. Until this
envelope IS opened, there can be alb
solutely no change in the compost
ton of the fish,.
1.-The danger from cold storage fish
is due largely to a prejudice against
the use of frozen fish, and to meet
this, fish is thawed out before being
sold by the local dealer. Frozen fish
thus exposed rapidly deteriorates;
chemical changes take place and it
soon becomes unfit for use. If fish
properly frozen is sold while still
frozen, and thawed gradually in cold
water, the same water being used in
cooking, it will not only be as health
full as fresh fish. but none of the or
iginal flavor of the fish will be lost.
The ''fabbfness'' Of thawed fish is due
to teh fact that the minute water
sacks, which are fat sacks in meat,
have been broken by expansion in
freezing. When the fish is thawed,
the water escapes and the firmness Of
the fish is destroyed. Many people,
the fish to be old and Aunwholesome,
which is not the case.
THE increased use Of fish will pro-
vide a delicious and nutritive substi-
tute for meat; materially decrease the
cost of family food supply, and at the
same time, build up peculiarly ma
tive industry, capable Of infinite profit

THE AMERICAN TEMPERAMENT.

A fine spirit is being shown by
many men who in this crisis of sub
marine warfare, are being ordered off
the ocean. They have been sailing
the seas all their life, and they don't
perOrs.
It would be much better business
policy for them to stay at home. It
might save getting their country into
trouble. But Americans won't take
orders from any master, save the ones
they have erected above themselves,
those who are mighty careful how
they issue their commands.
When you examine the causes lead
ting to the separation of this country
from England, they were really trif1-
ing. They were mostly questions OF
taxation. On the money pasis, there
was nothing in the idea OF separa-
ton. It cost more to run a gov-
eminent at Washington than a Colon
tai administration would have come
to. It was just the American spirit
that won't take orders.
You can see that all through the
life Of any local community. If the
idea gets into the heads of the peo-
pie that a man is trying to boss too
many things, they pull him down just
to show their own authority. His au-
thority may indeed be exercised quite
well. But people do not take kindly
to the idea of lords and masters. They
will hit a boss every time they get
chance.
If the United States ever gets drawn
into a world war, it will be just be-
cause it can't stand the idea of die
tation. No one power can set up to
run the earth and get away with 1t.
The United States is long suffering,
because it has enough business sense
to know that wars don't pay. But
the moment you begin to order Uncle
Sam around too far, you run up
against the fundamental American
temperament.

cred oratorio Of 'The Dream Of Ger
ontius'' for which $50 will sing III
chorus, began his study of the voice
i'll Germany, which has produced
some of the most renowned singers
ever, and of which Mr.. Meyn bids fair
to become mum ered.
For several years he was engaged
in the serious study of operate works
and traditions, when he came to the
United States. Although he settled
at first in Boston, his home for the
last several years has been in New
York. Since coming to the United
States, Mr.. Meyn has been seen in q
great variety of concerts throughout
the United States and Canada. He
has appeared with the famous Boston
Symphony orchestra, the Handel and
Hadyn (Bachs Passion Music"), the
Cecilia, Boston, at the Maine festival
with the New York Oratorio society,
at festivals in Richmond, Cleveland,
williamsport, Minneapolis, Hartford,
Madison, Duluth and other cities.
OF Mr. Meyn, the London Times
said, "A singer, who can 90 this sue
his art and Mr.. Meyn proved himself
a sufficiently clever singer to make
such a program interesting" The
Chicago Tribune's musical critic said,
He possesses a fine sense of dramatic
value, and enunciates with a clearness'
which adds much to his singing. He
has a light baritone voice which he
uses with much discretion -
Three hundred and fifty voices will
be in the choruses of THE Dream Of

DREAM OF GERONTIUS.

Heinrich Meyn, the baritone soloist
of "The Dream of Gecont1us." to be
given by the Bridgeport Oratorio So
ciety next Tuesday evening in the
State street Casino, may justly be,
called one of the leading baritones
of the country. His rich baritone
has been very favorably received by
concert devotees of the country, and
the press comments on his successes
