COTERIE ENTERTAINMENT.
Of the many beautifully plan
ned entertainments that have
been conceived and executed by
the fair sex in Newport the
Strolling Minstrels, or festi
val of Nations as it might be
called, given at the Coterie Club
rooms Wednesday evening was
decidedly the most unique and
attractive that has as yet been
given.
A better place for the arrange
ment of such an affair could not
have been selected; the long
halls crossing each other made
an admirable place for the booths
representing the different na
tions.
Each of these booths were
draped with the flags and bunt
ing representing the national
colors, and were presided over
by ladies in national costume
who served free lunches repre
senting the chief edibles of their
country. Of course, as it should
be, America’s booth was placed
at the head of the column. Mrs.
George A. Hillhouse, the popu
lar president of the Musical
Coterie, dressed as the Goddess
of Liberty, presided, and served
“our own” sandwiches, pickles
and coffee. This was the most
extensively patronized booth,
unless it was Germany, where
were served hot weiners, rye
bread and “lager beer nit.”
During the evening a fine pro
gram of music was rendered by
members of the Coterie which
was highly appreciated by the
large number present.
In one corner of the room a
Gipsy tent was placed where
“Madame Dyer” satisfied all
who were despondent as to their
future by assuring them all
would be well.
The evening was delightfully
spent, and it is to be hoped the
ladies realized a good sum for
their labors in planning an en
tertainment on such an elaborate
scale.

MOLYBDENITE MINE.
ORE USED IN MANUFACTURE OF
STEEL FOUND IN MAINE.
Deposits Are of Rare Occurrence and
the Value of Those Located
Is Partly Conjec
tural.
One of the principal deposits of
molybdenum ore in this country is at
Cooper, Me. It was visited in Sep
tember, 1904, by Dr. George Otis
Smith, of the United States geological
survey, who tells in bulletin 260, the
survey's annual publication on its ex
ploits in economic geology, bow the
American Molybdenum company pre
: vented him from having more to say
about the molybdenum of this locality.
I He was not permitted to visit the mine,
but the observations be mad'e at the
• surface furnished him sufficient data
1 for a consideration of the character and
! origin of the deposit,
i The town of Cooper is in Washing
ton county, in the extreme southeastern
part of Maine, and is the fourth town
ship west of Calais. The nearest rail
| road station is Marion, in the second
t township south. Prospecting for mo
lybdenite has been carried on at sev
eral points in this locality, but the only
Important development thus far Is that
on the property of the American. Mo
lybdenum company.
The molybdenite occurs both in peg
i matite dykes and in the granite cut by
these dykes. A number of distinct peg
matite dykes were seen on this property,
varying in width from a few Inches to
several feet. In these the molybdenite
occurs in lead-gray hexagonal crystals
of short prismatic habit, or as less reg
ular foliated masses, often with radiate
structure. The molybdenite is found
also In small flakes or larger nests of
flakes disseminated throughout tlie
granite mass.
MoiyDaeniie occurs scvoiat uiuc*
localities in Maine, as well as in the
other New England states. It is usu
ally found In small flakes disseminated
through, the granite or gneiss, so that
the Cooper occurrence Is of special
Interest by reason of the light it
throws on the origin of this mineral.
The pegmatite dykes are probably
approximately contemporaneous with
the granite intrusion, representing
the latest crystallization of the gran
itic magma, and therefore intruding
the consolidated granite. In this
pegmatite magma molybdenum disul
phide appears to have been a promi
nent constituent and to have crystal
lized early in the consolidation of the
dykes. The molybdenite in the gran
ite may be either the result of impreg
nation at the time of the pegmatitic
intrusion or it may be an original con
stituent. The former view is support
ed by the apparently larger amount in
the granite near the dykes.
The ores of molybdenum have been
in greater demand since molybdenum
has been used in the manufacture of
steel to increase its hardness and.
toughness. The comparative rarity and
high cost of the ores, have, however,
limited its use.
The economic value of such a deposit
as the Cooper molybdenite is partly con
jectural. The conditions for quarrying
and mining both the pegmatite and the
wall rock appear favorable, and con
siderable work of this kind has been
done. The rock lying on the dump
contained varying proportions of mo
lybdenite, but it seemed that most of
the crude ore could be readily distin
guished and separated from the barren
rock by hand picking. The crucial test
of the successful working of such a de
posit is doubtless connected with the
milling process, rather than with the
mining methods. A compact plant for
treating the molybdenite ore has been
erected by this company, but the de
tails as to cost of crushing the rock and
of concentrating and cleansing the sep
arated mineral could not be ascertained.
Single Talents and Self-Confidence.
A single-talent man, supported by
great self-contidence, will achieve
more than a ten-Lalent man who does
not believe in himself. The mind
cannot act with vigor in the presence
of doubt. A wavering mind -.makes a
wavering execution. There must be
certainty, confidence and gwurance, or
there can be no efficiency. An unedu
cated man who believes in h't$gself,
and who has faith that he can do .the
thing he undertakes, often puts to
ehame the average college bred man.
whose overculture and wider outlook
have sometimes bred Increased sens!
i ttveness and a lessening of self confi
dence, whose decision has been weak
ened by constant weighing of conflict
ing theories, and whose prejudices are
always open to conviction.—Success.
Marriage la Japan.
They marry early sad often In Ja
pan. A man aged 40, living in the
province of Bixeu, has married and
divorced 36 wives, and is now married
to a thirty-sixth. The reason* .he
signs for his extraordinary fickleness
is that he has a younger sister of ex
tremely Rancorous and jealop« dispo
sition, who, from the - moment a new
bride entefs the house, institutes a
system of 'persecution which soon
drives the unhappy woman to ask her
1 husband for a divorce, which is an
easy and inexpensive process in the
land of the Rising Sun.—Lond^ei T.

When Thieves Fall Out.
Hot Springs, Sept. 19. —Nellie
Flowers, a negress, wad fined
$75 in police court this morning
on a charge of petit larceny.
Robert Lee and the woman quar
reled a few days ago, when the
former got even by reporting
numerous hotel robberies the
woman had committed, and a
great many of the goods were
recovered. She retaliated by
implicating Lee in the theft of
silverware from the Park hotel.
This was also recovered, and now
both informers are in the clutches
of the law.
