The Goal of Lore is Marriage and the Goal of Marriage is Maternity. When young man and young woman re very much in love every step of life they take is timed to the music of the wedding march. The happy consumma tion mar be years away, but down the path of the years the clear eyes of love discern the spot which some day they shall call home. And when the mar riage is consummated and the home founded another thought begins to fill the minds of wife and husband, a thought that lies too deep for words, the thought of a cooing baby voice, of the patter of tender baby feet and the music of happy baby laughter. If the love of man and woman leads to marriage, and marriage looks to mother hood, what is the plain and obvious duty of the woman about to assume the obli gations of wifehood and motherhood? It is her duty to prepare herself for her own sake and the sake of the children that may be given her, as well as for the sake of her husband and her home. HOW TO PREPARE. The first thing to do is to cure diseases of the delicate organism which under mine the health and strength. Regu larity should be established, disagreeable and weakening drains must be stopped, weakness must be cured. "I have taken six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Miss M. Fyfe, of Orilla. Simcoe Co., Ont., "and two bottles of the ' Pleasant Pellets,' as you advised for congestion of the uterus, and for weakness, and can safely say that your medicine has been the means of restoring me to good health again, which I had not had for over three years, until taking your medicine. I thank you for your kind and prompt at tention to my letter aaking advice." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription meets the needs of women at every pe riod of life. It is invaluable in that transition period when the girl becomes a woman, establishing regularity and pro moting the general health. It dries of fensive and enfeebling drains, heals in flammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. From the time of the first change from girlhood to womanhood until the last change of life, in all the weakness of womanhood and trials of motherhood Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription is a true woman's friend. It makes women strong and well. "It is a pleasure for me to recommend your medicine, ' Favorite Prescription ' and 'Golden Medical Discover-,' " writes Mrs. Rhoda Russell, of Corbet, Navarro Co., Texas. "I had suffered for years with a disagreeable drain and other fe male troubles, but now, thanks to your medicines, I am much better and your medicines have done me more good than all else. I took nine brittle of Favor. ite Prescription' and six of 'Golden Medical Discovery.' Had it not been for Dr. Pierce's medicines no doubt I would have suffered continually the rest of my life. I shall always praise these preparations. The cost of them is so lit tle compared with the good I felt, yet I we you for what you have done for roe." J p lf aaw essa lsw and OLD PEOPLE Bad Circulation is th- cause of most of the ills that come with old age. With advancing years there is a decline of strength and vigor the machinery of the body moves with less speed and accuracy. Because of the weak and irregular action of the heart the hlrxd moves more slowly, becomes impure and loses much of its lifc-scstaining properties, and muscles, tissues and nerves literally starve for lack of nourishment. A sluggish and polluted circulation is followed by a long train of bodilv ailments. Coin feet, chilly sensations np and down the spine, poor appetite and digestion, soreness of the muscles, rheumatic pains, hard and fissured skin, bee sores, cbaaaHc running ulcers on the lower limbs and other parts of the body these ami Btany other diseases peculiar to old people are due to a lack of healthy blood and imperfect circulation. Restoration to health must come through thebuil'lin up ar.d purification of the blood, thus adding strength and tone to the vital organs and cjuick, healthy action to the circulation. S. S. S. being strictly a vegetable blood remedy and the best tonic, makes it the most awicaabie and efficacious of all medicine for old people. It is free from all mineral ingredients, and mild and "pleasant in its action. It cures blood diseases of every character, even those inherited or contracted in early life. As the system gets under the influence of S. S. S. there is a marked improvement in the general health, anrl as richer and purer blood begins to circulate through the body the appetite improves, and there is a softness and elasticity about the skin that yon have not noticed for years ; sores begin to heal, pains in muscles and joints grad ually cease, and you find that it is possible to be happy and healthy even in old age. Our medical department is in charge of physicians who make a study of blood and skin diseases. If you would like to have their opinion and advice in your case, write hem all about it and you shall receive such information and advice as you want. This will cost you nothing. Others have found our medical depart ment of great benefit to them their cure being much more rapid as the result of some special directions received from our physicians.

Preparation by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will give bodily strength and mental cheer fulness. It will banish that feeling of fear and apprehension which so many women suffer from at this time. It will encourage the appetite, induce refresh ing sleep, and make the baby's advent practically painless. "I was pleased that Dr. Pierce an swered my letter," writes Mrs. C. W. Young, of ai South Regent Street (Lee Park), Wilkesbarre, Penna. "I had several mishaps before my husband per suaded me to take your medicine. My back used to almost break when at work and I would get sick st my stomach and have such headaches I did not know what to do; they used to set me nearly crazy, and I used to dread to get up, I felt so bad. Then I began taking your medicine. When baby was expected I took it all the time I was that way. I felt line all the time and I never get those dizzy spells now. I hardly ever have a nervous headache any more. I have a perfect romp of a boy; he is the light of our home. I am now twenty years old and my baby is almost eight months old. I feel well, and weigh 160 pounds, and the baby t$'A pounds. We feel very grateful for the good your med icine did for us. We are both hearty, thanks to Dr. Pierce's medicine."

Y A MOST PROM ISING MINE Among the Undeveloped Proper ties Around Jerome is the Venture Hill, According to the Jerome News. The Company Continues Development Work With Most Gratifying Re Suits A Body of Ore Thirty Feet Wide Encountered. One of the most meritorious prop erties in the Jerome district is that of the Venture Hill Mining company. The company is working its property in a business like manner, and from the present showing there seems no chance against opening a mine. Wednesday, through the courtesy at .a 01 tne secretary 01 the company, a representative of the News was shown through the workings on the prop erty, and from personal observations and talks with the miners, the claims made for this property by the com pany seem not exaggerated. The principal work now being done on the group is through tunnels on the Socrates and 102 claims. The i tunnel on the Socrates is now in 440 feet and a number of bodies of high ' and low o-raHs nrt hnvo liwii aaat th lar&est of whlcu ls about 30 feet j across, and at a depth of 265 feet from the surface. They have run l ,l- i t , i i ,, ! " ! continue m to tap the ore body un- covereu oy a oo-iooi suan larxner up the hill. This shaft is all in ore at the bottom which assays 6J per cent copper and it is thought that when tapped by this tunnel at a depth of about 300 feet or more, that the ore will be of much higher grade, After running under this shaft it is the in tention to return to the 30 foot body of ore cut in the tunnel, and there sink a winze in the body of ore, fol lowing it to demonstrate its extent and grade. On the 102 claim there are two tun nels. In the upper tunnel there is a large body of copper sulphides, the tunnel having cut into it for a number of feet. A winze has been sunk in this ore to a depth of 30 feet and when abandoned on account of a heavy flow of water, was all in ore. A large amount of ore has been taken from these workings. The lower tunnel on this claim is being run to tap this ore body at a greater depth. As to the location and general for- nation of the property, we quote from a diseription by Dr. King, The Venture Hill group is situated in the Verde Mining tlistrict about one mile from Jerome, the terminus of the United Verde & Pacific rail road. Elevation about 5,700 feet. The gToup is made up of six claims and an optiou on three other claims as follows: 101, 102, 103, Juniper, Socrates, Sigsbee, Legal Tender, Grand Prize and E. L. D. The ex tent of the property is about 175 acres, situatated upon the sides and top of Venture Hill, with vertical height from Mescal creek of 900 feet. Starting of Carnegie's Fortune. It has lately developed publicly that another individual and one known to wide fame is to be added to the list of noted ones who found fortune in oil. Andrew Carnegie, steel magnate and library donator was one of the fortunate persons to participate in Pennsylvania's pioneer oil development. When the oil ex citement opened in the Keystome state, Mr. Carnegie invested S18.000 part of it borrowed, the story goes, in petroleum lands. A period of depres sion coming he decided to dispose of his lands and had sold a one-third in terest for 3.000, when values took a sharp upward turn which enabled him to clear, it is stated, $1,000,000 in a year. The money thus acquired furnished the foundation for Mr. Car negie's vast iron and steel enterprises. Cause of Death Unknown. The physicians and surgeons who attended President McKinley through the closing days of his life have pre sented to the State Medical society a lengthy report covering the medical ami surgical history of the case. In discussing the report Dr. Mann said that there was absolutely no bac teriological infection. Continuing he said: "If you ask me what caused the president's death. I could not tell you. I doubt if that will ever be dis covered. Among contributory causes, however, were the president's age, his lack of exercise and his naturally weak heart, which made his pulse high." Dr. Mann was asked, by one of the listeniDg medical men, why the X-ray was not applied so that the missing bullet might be located. Dr. Mann replied that there was nothing in the condition of the patient to show that the bullet was doing any harm, and he said that if the X-ray had been used it would only have been to satisfy the curiosity of the physicians, and the excitement attending the op eration would have been harmful to the patient, so the doctors refrained from using the X-ray apparatus. Nissen Navigates Rapids. Peter Xissen, of Chicago, has made a successful trip through the whirl pool rapids and whirlpool in his 21 foot Ixjat. His boat contains an eight horse-power engine, and the total weight is a little more than five tons. It is cigar shaped, four feet beam, and most of the weight is in the keel. Previous to making the perilous trip Xissen cruised about the river below the falls and the rapids, and at four o'clock headed his craft down stream, after lianking the fires and allowing the steam to escape. Ten thousand persons lined the American aud Can adian shores, and the bridges over the canvon were jammed. The trip was made in four minutes, and then the iioat passed under the whirlpool, and was carried around twice. When it came in close to the Canadian shore Nissen opened a hatch and poked his head and arms out. A rope was thrown from the bank and and he landed safely. A serious case of diptheria is re ported at a ranch north of town. The patient, a littlo bn , was so iad last night that the attending physician found it necessary to make an inci sion in its throat and insert a rubber tube for breathing purposes to pre vent strangulation. FATAL DRUNKEN ROW i wo riagstan sports fcnsrasre in a Duel Which Results in the Death of Theodore Gar tin. Flagstaff, Ariz., Oct. 21 (Special to Journal-Miner.) On Sunday morn ing about 4 o'clock, in a drunken row- over a prostitute, A. L. Simms stab bed Theodore Gartin. Gartin struck Simms over the head with a gun, when Simms stabbed Gartin in the stomach five times, his intestines fall ing out. ijartin s right hand is sev ered by Simm's vicious knife. Gartin died Sunday morning at 10 o'clock A coroner's jurv is investigating the case. Gartin, it is said, lived in Prescott all summer, leaving here for Flagstaff only a short time since. Justice Mckinnon's Suicide. A Telephone message was received here this morning which stated that Justice McKinnon, of Jerome, was found dead in his bed this morning with his throat cut from ear to ear. Mckinnon had been justice of the peace of Jerome precinct for some time and was also city clerk of the town of Jerome. He was arrested last week on a charge of appropria ting public money which came into his hands, but was released on the payment by one of his bondsmen of his shortage. Rumors were, however, also current that he had appropriated funds be longing to deceased parties which came into his hands as ex-officio coroner. No further particulars than the above were given in regard to his death, but it is supposed that the discovery of the above transactions so preyed upon his mind that he re solved on self destruction as a means of ending it all. It is also said that McKinnon was troubled with fatty degeneration of the heart and susDense and worrv on account of the malady, coupled with his other trouble may have had some thing to do with his decision to com mit suicide. How Diaz is Guarded. Dr. Frank J. Toussaint has re turned from a six months' exploring trip through the mining and agricul tural districts of northwestern Mex ico. Dr. Toussaint traveled on horse back, with his own caravan of pack mules and peons, and his knowledge of thr foothills and arroyos of the states of Chihuahua and Sonora, as well as the remote plantations far from the railroads and beaten tracks of the modern tourist is very exact. He also made a visit to the City of Mexico, and conferred with President Diaz in relation to mineral rights on a government grant in Yaqui valley. "The shooting of President McKin ley," said Dr. Toussaint. "would not have been possible in Mexico, a coun try where attempted assassination is one of the expected incidents of gov ernment. President Diaz never takes a walk on the street, or in any public plae? without secret service men watching over him. Nobody with his hand wrapped up, or with his hand in his pocket could approach him with out being stopped. One morning a lame man, carrying a heavy cane, was passing him on the street. A detec tive brushed against the man as if by accident, and knocked the cane out of his hand. He picked it upand returned it to the man, with profuse apologies, but while he had the cane in his hands he gave the head a turn and a pull to satisfy himself that it was not a sword cane. Another time an old woman carrying a basket on her arm was stopped because her hand was concealed in the basket. The detec tive lifted her hand out of the basket, and seeintr that it held no wearjon. apologized for the liberty. "Attempts on the life of Diaz have been made, and no precaution has been spared to prevent a repetition of them. If a man clasps his hands be hind him while he is talking with a public man, a detective will suggest that he allow his hands to hang naturally at his side." Milwaukee Sentinel. Railroad Talk. The Chicago .Tribune says: "It is learned that the Santa Fe aud Rock Island railroad system have complet ed plans for the extension of their lines into the southern part of Ari zona. The chief engineer and staff of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phenix rail road will begin at once a survey of the country from Florence to Benson up through the Gila and San Pedro Valleys, as far as old Gimp Grant. The Santa Fe several years ago made a survey from Phenix to Florence and will take up the lost thread and con tinue east. The action of the Santa Fe is said to have been hastened by the fact that the Rock Island has been construct ing a line southwest to El Paso from Liberal, Kansas, and the late traffic arrangements made by that road with the Phelps, Dodge Copper syndicate for the use of trackage in Arizona. This, it is said, gives the Rock Island the control of the line from Benson to El Paso, Texas. Whether this Rock Island exten sion will eventually cross the Colo rado desert and tap San Diego as a southern outlet has not been dis closed, but it is claimed that Rock Island surveyors and others have skirmished the country between Phe- nix and 1 uma. Hull Loses His Suit. A telegram from Oakland says: George W. Hull, the copper king, lost his suit against his wife today. Hull sued to recover property at Berkeley valued at $4,000 and money in Iwuk amounting to J4.000. He declared that when he married his wife she had a husband living, one Sylvester Lowell. The court held that the woman believed her I first husband was dead, as he had ; been gone twenty-two years. The : opinion of the court is that the second j marriage stands until it is annulled. Mrs. Hull is given a half interest in 1 the property anil all the money in i lmlf. j m Mrs. N. Maurey's restaurant at I Wickenburg burned to the ground early on iuesoay. ungin of lire is unknown, but incendiarism suspected. The loss to Mrs. Maurey is about $600, $300 of which is covered by in surance. The building was a one story frame structure, owned by Dan Curry, valued at $500 aud uninsured. The McNeil lodging house and the rail road eating house were saved only by the prompt action of citizena act ing as a bucket brigade. MINES AND MINING. W. C. Greene was at a recent meet ing of the stockholders of the Greene Consolidated Mining Co., held in New York city, elected president by a unanimous rote and a resolution passed approving his management of the property. Mineral Wealth. of Redding. Shasta county. CVftL prints an account of the new method of cyaniding, tests of which were made at the McKean mine, near Callahans. Siskiyou county. It says: "An interesting cyanide experiment and a new one for Northern California is being suc cessfully made at the McKean mine, near Callahans, and promises to be of no little importance in the quartz de velopment, particularly of Siskiyou and Trinity counties. The rock is not treated by a mill at all, but goes directly from the rock breaker to the solution tanks. Four forty-ton vats make up the present equipment ef tne plant, and one is drawn oil aiu: recharged each day. The ore, of course is one that is s".-ciallv fitted for that method of extinction. It is a coarse grained, pure silicate, carry ing considerable sulphnrets m spots. Most of the values, however, are of a fine character of goi ', the fineness being of such unifonnii v that all can be depended upon to go into solution in from seventy-two to ninety-six hours. A half pound of cyanide is used for each ton of ore. The inter esting feature with respect to this class of gold extraction, is that from 80 to 90 per cent of a rather low grade rock is saved from the rock just as it leaves the crusher. Milling and con centrating are thus done away with, and thus the chief sources of wear, tear anil expense are entirely obvi ated. The theory upon which this process is based involves the struc ture of the quartz. It has been shown that jhe gold merely lines the casings or fractures of the rock, and accord ingly the work of the rock breaker is all that is necessary to allow the cy anide solution to penetrate to the presence of the gold." Mineral Wealth further states that credit for the successful operation by this new method is largely do to Mr. Frederick Lundstrom, formerly of South Africa and fainiliar with the cyanide pro cess. The plant on the property was installed under the direction of Mr. E. H. Benjamin, mining engineer of a San Francisco and .c-cretary of the California Miners' a.sociafion, and who, as stated in the Sun 1'ruueisco Chronicle, is the inventor of this n-jw cyaniding method. The Amalgamated. Copper com pany, which has been almost religi ously believed in by great numbers of investors and speculators, as having the greatest destiny-of all the trusts, handles about one half of all the cop per that is produced in the country. The rapid decline in its shares, which has recently occurred, has given a severe mental and financial shock to these believers. Ex. A deal is -aid to be pending which it is , sieved win result in tne oond wide, and the specimens on exhibition ing of the Sahuaro mine by Messrs. J came from about a foot below the Nickles, Brenneman and Miller to a ' surface. It is understood the owners Mr. Lloyd, representing Colorado j have refused a cash offer of $60,000 capitalists, for $60,000. The Sahuaro for it. The specimens shown are cer mine is located about two and one- tain lv the real thing, and if the ore half miles northeast of Wickenburg body maintains its richness as it goes and was the aoene of the big copper j down, it is beyond question one of and silver strike last week. L'use- j the biggest things in anv country, lected samples taken from the ground As it is but two miles from Wicken assayed one hundred and eighteen berg, it means everything to the fu ounces of silver and as high as thirty ture of that camp, per cent copper to the ton. Selected pieces of ore ran as high as four ' thousand ounces of silver to the ton, 1 and as the ore body is sixty feet wide at the surface, it promises to become one of the richest mines in the terri tory upon development. The Color ado people will start to work develop ing the property at once if they se cure it. The telegram recently informed the world that the Amalgamated Copper -. ........ xi: o . A. Clark and other pig copper producers have reached an agreement to restrict copper production. It was stated that Heinze agreed to curtail his copper production, in accordance with which he had reduced his work ing force in the mines of his company fully one-third. Also th'it several of the big produciug mines of the Amal gamated company were closed down temporarily, and operation iu all the mines had ben suspended on Sun days. The restriction is to continue tinue until the copper supply on the market is practically exhausted, and the price of the metal will thus be maintained. If Senator Clark en tered into any agreement to reduce the output of his mines, he has not put it into effect yet at Jerome, as the big plant there is running to its full capacity. A gentleman fiom there. in conversation today, stated that the only way the production could be lar-1 ger than it is at present would be oy j increasing the caKicity of the plant. Marios Pickering, of Prescott, has : E9 111 , il,-i 1 lli.. t-i.niiif (mill minp Iw. low town aud found it good enough 1 to bond and go to work on.

Every one who visits the Baumami Copper roeapany a group of mines, near the Agua t . la, iviii-s away with the aaokB impression, that there ia the making there of one of the biggest mines in the county. 1 he group is located only two miles from the rail road and about three miles from the Val Verde smelter, where the ore can be marketed, if necessary, during the development period. Some enthusiastic miners have predicted that the Grooui creek sec tion was destined lo lievome the Crip ple creek of Arizona. It looks as if their prediction might be realized, as ore running as high as $3,000 per ton in gold is reported to have been encountered in the Midnight Test mine which is being operated by Geo. Wood. It is said that $1,000 worth of ore was taken from the bottom of the 300 foot shaft in one day recently . This is the mine which sold last win ter for $30,000 and which could not be bought today for less than $1,000,000. It is located only about eight or ten miles from- Prescott. The ore body is said to be five feet wide, and it in creases in richness with depth. The Jerome Mining News i3 au thority for the statement that a man named Wallace is in the employ of Senator Clark around Jerome locating ore bodies by means of a so called magnetic ore locator. The machine is said to be very a remarkable one as it indicates the existence of valuable minerals beneath the surface. Mr. Wallace claims to be able to locate gold silver or copper, having differ ent machines for the three different metals. As a test of the accuracy of his instruments he offers to wager any amount within his personal means that any person or number of persons mat take him to a twenty-acre lot which is barren of ore bodies, put him in a secluded place, blind fold him, put him under guard, and then go anywhere in the twenty acre lot and push a $20 gold piece into the ground where it cannot be seen, and he will forfeit the wager if with his instrument .he cannot find it within ten minutes from the time his blind is removed and he turned loose to search for the coin. In addition to Mr. Walker's opeiations there an other man named Geo. W. Wilson is also prospecting that section with Brown's electro geodetic instrument for the discovery of ore bodies through the agency of electricity. The News says that if the different alleged ore bodies located by Mr. Wilson through his instrument are uncovered, there will be much work for it there. Dick Hall has sent to the board of trade some specimens of the rich sil ver ore recently discovered on the Sahuaro property, two miles from Wickenberg. The ore at first sight would not attract attention, but a ear ful investigation of it arouses dreams of untold wealth at once. It is heavily copper stained, but that ig nifies nothing, as a good part of the ore in this country has the copper color, and in the specimens on exhi bition the color is not particularly al luring. But all parts of the rock not showing a copper color are a dark brown, almost black. There is noth ing shiny about it and nothing that looks like silver to the ordinary mortal. But when a knife blade is brought into action the black surface is found to be a coating of horn silver, so rich it can be shaved off like lead from a piece of lead pipe. Hall says in his letter that the ore runs from ten to forty per cent in copper, and some of it as high as 3,500 ounces of silver. The specimens sent in. he declares, are not picked specimens, as there is an unknown quantity of the same sort of rock.

Splendid Reports Continue to Be Re ceived From This Property Which is Gratifying to Its Stock holders. William L. Hargrave, a well known mining expert, has recently examined the property of the Modern Mining company, near Bis bee, and reports on the property as follows: "I am very favorably impressed with the situa tion of the property as well as the for- J ination and the evident permanency ad richness of the veins. I have spaaft four years in this territory and Sonora. Mex., and have examined man v prospects and mines, and can ' unhesitatingly say I have seen noth ing as a prospect equal to this, and mv opinion is with development it will make a mine. Everything from a natural standpoint is most favor able, and I earnestly recommend its development. Speaking of the same company the Bisbee Review of recent date also has the following: "L. B. Turnbull, who is interested in the Willow Creek Mining Co. at Prescott and an owner of 1,000 shares of Modern Copper Mining Co. stock, arrived in Bisbee Monday, and in company with the president visited the property and says he found the mine in much more prosperous condition than had ever been represented to him. Further- more everything taken from a depth 0f 95 feet will pay to work on the ground, and from recent tests there is twenty tons or more that will give a large return when shipped. In my opinion their property should not be called a prospeat, it is a mine." .Mr. Turnbull is here in his own in- terest aud the interest of other Pres cott investors in the Modern Copper Mining Co.

A Daughter's Reading. For those mothers who are anxious that their daughters should read wisely rather than widely, there is a valuable article in the November numlier of The Delineator describ ing "The Book Life of a Girl."

TILLMAN IS SARCASTIC- 'Pitchfork" Tillman, gave out a signed statement of his views of the action of President Roosevelt in invit ing Booker Washington to dine with him. Of course Mr. Tillman doea not endorse it and deals with the question in the following very sarcas tic manner. President Roosevelt has an abso lute right to eat with any man he may choose to invite. He also has the right to have colored men and women call on Mrs. Roosevelt and dine with the family. He has the right to have his children associate with negro children and in time be come himself a grandfather to a mu latto. All of these 'rights' are on all fours. The obliteration of tbe color line in this case carries with it the possibility of all the others. It is a natural sequence. If it is the pur pose of the president to solve the race question this wayjhe is welcome to enter upon it, but millions of men and women of the north and the whites who live in the south will leave him severely alona. in his new found role and bike care we do not become a race of mongrels." While in the color of his skin Mr. Washington may not be as fair hued as Mr. Tillman, but in the quality of well balanced brain power there are those who believe him Mr. Tillman's superior. It may have been a recog nition of this rather than any refer ence to the color of his skin .that in duced President Roosevelt to take the action he did. Booker Washing ton has been invited to dine at the tables of prominent men in the south and at the tables of men holding to the same political faith as Mr. Till man. The Los Angeles Times of recent date contained an elaborate write up of Arizona's mining interests. Of course it was paid for doing this and right on the heels of the write up the Times arrays itself against statehood for Arizona. It probably thinks that a people who are willing to pay cash to an outside paper to boom their in terests instead of patronizing home industries are not fit for statehood. Senator Hanna in a speech at the opening of the republican campaign in Ohio, said he did not intend to quit politics or resign as senator or chairman of the republican national committee. Democrats can take no tice thereof and govern themselves accordingly. Mark Hanna is one of the ablest and smoothest politicians of the present generation. The Bank of England has a gold weighing machine so delicate in its construction that a postage stamp will turn the index on the dial a dis tance of six inches. President Roosevelt has extended an invitation to Booker Washington to dine with him. It will be the first time in the history of the country that a colored man has been enter tained at dinner by a president of the United States. A war betweeu Russia and Japan, over Korea, is predicted by Dr. NichJJ olas Senu, professor of surgery in the University of Chicago, who has ar rived from a tour of the Orient. Said he: "While I was in Japan. I noticed on every hand that the Japanese were making preparations for war with Russia, and they made no secret of it. The cause of the trouble is no secret in Japan. It wants Korea. Japan is not large enough for the Japanese. Russia practically holds Manchuria and Japan does not intend letting this nation extend its in fluence to Korea if thN condition can be avoided. Hence the preparations for war.
