Secretary of State Pays a Rill in Which Charges for Delivery Ex- ceed Price of the Coal, Secretary of State John Hay has just paid the record price for coal, and it was common, ordinary, anthra- cite coal. Some time ago, when the family opened their summer cottage at Lake Sunappee.N.H., Mrs. Hay found need of a fire to keep warm. There was no coal in the house, and she tele- phoned to the dealer in Windsor, ask- ing him thata ton be sent over at once. As the Hay house is in a rather inaccessible location, the dealer asked how he should send the coal. “By express,” was the order. The coal was sent, and the bill has just been paid. It includes two items: Coal .. $8 Coal at Mr. Hay’s summer home hereafter will be shipped by freight. Water to Succeed Fire. Invention and discovery assure us that there will be no limit to progress in the long distance carrying of elec- tric energy, says the New York World. While water holds out to run, there- fore, why should man bother with question of coal mihe exhaustion, or wrestle endlessly with the smoke nui- sance? Silently, cleanly, without fuss or fumes, a power that heats, lights and moves, all from the same wire, will be brought cheaply to the door of every shop and home.

The reduetion in the quantity of corn available for live stock naturally increased the sumption of outs and, as a result, the con- 000,000 bushels in the fiseal year 1901 to 10,000,000 bushels in 1902, and the value from about $12,000,000 in 1901 to $4,- 000,000 in 1902, Insoatmeal, exporta- tions fell from 90,000,000 pounds in 1901 to 59,000,000 pounds in 1902, while the value fell from 50,000 in 1901 toa little over $1,500,000 in 1902, Thus the reduction in value of the exports of breadstutts, clearly traceable to the drought, was: Corn and corn meal, $67,000,000; oats‘and oat meal, $8,000,- 0003 total, $75,000,000, In addition to the above, cattle and beef products show a falling off from $80,000,000 in 1901 to $69,000,000 in 1902, St, Louis Girl Jumps Into River to Test Bravery of Hero of Santiago, Naval Constructor Richmond P.

Miss Arnold gave him] GREAT PERIL FOR AERONAUTS the first of 10.000 kisses as a reward for the bravery he displayed on the Merrimac. The other day another St. Louis girl, Miss Mamie Self, risked her life in the Mississippi that she might have the honor of being saved from a watery grave by Hobson. She jumped: into the river from the launch Camilda, belonging to Robert B. Bring- hurst, of St. Louis, while Hobson was swimming in the waters of the big river. Miss Self was unable to swim, but so great was her faith in the sailor that she unhesitatingly plunged over- board, although dressed in her best clothing, wearing a silk waist and a broadcloth skirt. When Capt. Hobson heard the splash he started for the scene, swimming with strong strokes. He caught the young woman and they were carried out into the stream by the current, and Hobson had great difficulty in swimming back with the maiden, weighted as her clothing was with wa- ter. He finally managed to reach the side of the launch. A rope was low- ered and the disheveled young woman was pulled aboard’. SEES LEVEL FOR LEARNING. \ patties Prof, Henderson Declares Universi- tles Must Seek to Meet Needs of Workingmen to Succeed, Unless our universities and social institutions work to meet the needs of the workingman, they are doomed to failure and defeat, was the predic- tion made by Prof. Charles Richmond Henderson the other afternoon at the University of Chicago. “As the wage-earning class keeps on gtowing stronger and stronger,” the speaker said, “it becomes more an struggle with learning, with art and science, with our institutions, our uni- versities. A university cannot live sus- pended high in air. There must be close association between the ideals that the university ts working for and | over receivinga sample cake of shaving the practical life of the workingman. “The wage-earner will not bear the burden of an advancing ci’ reach.” Millions for Railroad Improvements, Statements just furnished by the railroads entering Pittsburg to the municipal authorities of thatcity, show that the cost of railroad improvement made there within the past two years aad under way, will aggregate, $35,- 000,000.
