BALDWIN ESTATE
ISJjPPRAIStO
Los Angeles, Kept. 6.—The fin
al appraisement of the Baldwin
estate has been made and is found
to have been in excess of ^30,
000,000. Lucky Baldwin was one
of the fortunate early settlers of
California and bought large
tracts of land which have in
creased enormously in value.
COPPER INDUSTRY
GROWTH AND PROS LEMS
Last year will be remembered
in the history of the copper
trade as the first year when the
total world production reached a
million tons. One hundred years
ago the average annual output
of copper was about 10,000 tons.
The quantity for a decennial per
iod 1811 to 1820 was, to be ex
act, 00,000 tons. In the middle
of the century, from 1851 to 1800
the total output was 505,990
Ions, or, roughly; 50.000 tons per
annum; and by the end of the
century the output had reached
half a million tons. If will be
seen, therefore, that in the com
paratively short space of twelve
years another half million Ions
have been added to the annual
production of copper. The ques
tion naturally arises whether this
fremeiiidous rale of increase is
likely to lie mainlained, for if
su in I tie course, of another ten
or twelve years the trade will
nave 2.000,000 inns <n copper m
ileal with every year. II is al
mns| inconceivable that employ- j
nienl can lie found for so enor
mous a duanlity. Tile increase in
the output has hern lately very
large, nearly 1:10,0110 Inns hav
ing been added during 1012,
against only ahnul 20,000 Ions in
Ihe previous year. The elect rill
ealion of railways may open out
a large market for copper, but.!
mr the oilier hand, this process!
will throw upon the market a
very mnsiddrablc quantity of old |
copper and old metals of which j
the principal consistent is cop
per. and the release of these met-,
als will tend In keep down the
consumption of new copper in
other Industries.— Manchester.

False Modesty.
Throughout Ihe land clubs'
have been organized, associations
formed, institutions established,
having for Ihcir object Ihe pro
led ion of girls exposed lo Ihe
wiles of society and led astray by
vulgar men. Yet, what do we
learn every day? Take any news,
paper, glance over il for a min- j
ute and you will find all kinds of;
disgraceful acts committed by!
women. You will learn that girls
are being arrested most evry day;
for wearing dresses which men I
_and many women—declare are ;
■jiosilivelv shocking.
* .... ....... . !
City court said hi a couple young
girls who had been brought be
fore him. “I ought to take you
across my knees and spank you
until my hands are blistered,”
and he continued," “(iirls who
dress like that do il because of
Iheir associations and to al
I racl I lie eyes of men. If you
rannol attract I lie men without
splitting your dress, then leave
the men alone. You will liml that
the class nf men who are
“caught”, by classy dresses and
powdered faces, ace not the men
who make the best husbands.”
It is reported that a few days
ago, at one of the many summer
resorts of the east, a party was
given at which champagne flow
ed with unusual freenews; girls
and matrons danced and carried
on all night <clad in pajamas and
Turkish costumes. And yet. with
all the indecency on the part of
the women, they wonder about the
degeneracy of mrt.
With women wearing skirts
siit to a point above the knee* the
bodices cut lower than ever, the
proper inference is that we are
fast traveling towardsfbarbarism
and “flg-leaf" costuineWand thal
modesty will soon be a discarded
virtue.—Petersburg Progressive.
