f A Mountain of Soft Coal.
The largest stock of soft coal to be
found in this country, aside from
storage heaps at one or two of the
large western mines, is owned by the
New York Edison Company, at Shadyside,
on the Hudson. Persons walking
on Riverside Drive stop and gaze
across the river, wondering what the
f - huge black pile Is.
The Edison company has about 160,000
tons of coal stored in this yard,
which covers as much ground as eight
city blocks. If there was a big coal
strike the supply would last the company
nearly a year. A high fence surrounds
the big coal pile, which is
guarded by armed watchmen day and
night. Tfce yard is about 300 yards
hack from the pier, where the coal
Is landed in barges. An endless chain
or Dags convey me coat rrom xne
barges to the yard, so arranged that
their contents are distributed automatically
and evenly over the entire
area of the yard, and not dumped In'
one place to be distributed by shovel's
ers. The coal plant is said to represent
an investment of $500,000.?New

Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come Up
; , '
A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling in a country parish in Iowa
tells of his coffee experience:
"My wife and I used coffee regularly
for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper?always
the very best quality?package coffee
\ never could find a place on our table.
"In the spring of 1S9G my wife was
taken with violent vomiting, which
we had great difficulty in stopping.
"It seemed to come from coffee drink

ing, DUt we couia not utx-iu*?.
"In the following July, however, she
iwas attacked a second time by the
vomiting. I was away from home filling
an appointment at the time, and on
my return I found her very low; she
had literally vomited herself almost to
death, and it took some days to quiet
the trouble and restore her stomach.
' "I had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved it each time by a resort to
medicine.
"But my wife's second attack satisfled
me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles, and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on Postum
Food Coffee. The old symptoms
of disease disappeared, and during the
9 years that we have been using Postum
instead of coffee we have never
had a recurrence of the vomiting. We
never weary of Postum, to which we
know we owe our good health. This is
a simple statement of facts." Name

Ij Imitating a Monkey to Lure a Tiger.
I To call a tiger the proceeding was
as follows: The ilikir, having first as!
certained that a tiger was in the
| neighborhood, would climb into a well
! branched leafy tree situated near
j where he supposed the tiger to be,
I and after hiding himself among the
| branches as best he could, would comI
mence to imitate the chattering of a
j monkey, and break and drop twigs in
j the way that monkeys do.
i Then he would let fall to the ground
! a bundle of rags, weighted so that the
i thud when it struck the ground would
sound as if a baby monkey had tumbled
down from the tree, and at the
same time would imitate the supposed
baby monkey cries. This would be
the supreme moment, for if a tiger
were near it would often spring out,
in the hope of snapping up such a
dainty morsel as a young monkey, and
! then a bullet from the gun of the hidden
Miklr might find its billet in the
tiger's body. By this means the Miklr
was said to have killed a considerable
number of tigers, and certainly the
man's power of mimicry was wonderfully
good.
The call for deer was of an entirely
different nature, the sound imitated
being the cry of a fawn, and as
this cry sometimes attracted tigers,
too, it had to be adopted with caution,
because it was used only in
open grass land, from which the caller
would not have had much chance
to escape were a tiger suddenly to
put hi an appearance.?London Field.

Inscurance Among Criminals.
"Criminal insurance," said a detecI
tive, "is the insurance that thieves
! and blacklegs take on in case of arrest.
For instance: You are a secondstory
man. You make about $2,500
a year, the average second-story
man's income, and you carry an insurance
of $1,000, for which you pay
the big premium of $125 a year. Now,
| if you are arrested, the insurance
I company steps forward and hands
you $1,000. Thus you are able to get
the best of lawyers for your defense.
"Receivers of stolen goods are usually
rich, and it is these men, as a
rule, who carry on the criminal in-,
! surance business. I know of a crim
inal insurance company in Philadeli
phia, another in New York and a
j third in St. Louis. The policies run
j from $100 up to $5,000 and the prei
miums are always enormous. This

j "Besides the criminal insurance
i concerns, I know of a curious benei
fieial organization that is conducted
among the criminals of Illinois. Each
member of the organization pays in
$1 a week and in case of imprisonment
his family receives $5 weekly as
! long as his sentence lasts."?Louisville

A Washington special says: Assistant

I public the following report to Secreta!
ry Wilson on the acreage of cotton in
| the southern states in 1905, compared
| with that planted in 1904:
"The crop estimating board of the
! department of agriculture has considered
the report issued by the bureau
of statistics on June 2, relative to the
acreage planted in cotton in the southj
em states in 1905, as compared with
that planted in 1904, and has concluded:
"First: That a new estimate should
be made on 'acreage planted, and that
the figures in Mr. Hyde's hands, when
making his estimate, should be used
as the basis.
"Second: That Mr. Hyde, with Mr.
Holmes at his elbow prompting him,
made the estimate lower than the
facts at nis hand from the reports
from- the seven classes of reporters
employed by the bureau, warranted.
"Third: That the hoard finds, upon
careful consideration of the reports
of all classes of correspondents and
agents, that the acreage planted in
cotton this year, including the entire
season, should have been estimated at
S5.1 per cent of that planted last
year, equivalent to a. reduction ia
planted acreage as compared with
last year of 14.9 per cent (instead oC
11.4 per cent) or 4,731,000 acres?the
estimate of the total acreage planted
this year being 26,999,000 acres.
"The estimated percentage of the
decrease in each of the cotton-growiDg
states is as ioiiows:

LACE OF NATURE'S MAKING;
i A Fabric That Is Airily Light?Woven of
Various Tree Marks.
| There are in all about a half a dozen
I lace-bark trees in the world, so-called
I because the inner bark yields a natural
j lace in ready-made sheet form which
can be made up in serviceable articles
of apparel. Only four of these curious
species of trees are of much practical
value.
Tourists who have stopped at Ha!
waii or Samoa may recall the lace!
bark clothing of the natives?clothing
! of a neat brown color when new, of rej
markable strength and of a fragrant
i odor, like freshly cured tobacco leaf,
j The native "tapa" cloth, as it is called,
i is made from the bark of tlie Brusoj
netia papirifera, but is not usually
j included among the real lace-bark
i trees.

I snowy lace of utility, -we have on the
I Pacific side of the hemisphere the
| Sterqulia acerifolia of Australia (also
I called "flame tree," in allusion to its
showy red flowef), and in Maori Land
the Plagianthus betulinus. On the Atlantic
side there is only one lace-yielding
tree so far known?the Lageta linteria
of the Caribbean Islands. Of the
Dafne tenuifolia of South America I
j have never been able to discover a single
specimen, despite careful search,
I nor have I ever met anyone who has
! seen the tree growing in South America.
In its natural state the lace-bark is
! of a most delicate cream-white tint.
It is probably & ^ud of fibrous pith.
When the outer bark is removed, it can
be unfolded and unwound in one seamless
piece, having a surface of a little
more than a square yard. Washing
and sun bleaching give it a dazzling
I white appearance. It has a faint,
j agreeable odor not unlike that of freshj
ly split bamboo. The fabric is airily
I light. It is used in the West Indies
I for mantillas, cravats, collars, cuffs,
window curtains; in a word, for every
! purpose that ordinary lace is used.
In making up shawls, veils and the
like it is customary to piece two sheets
of lace-bark together. Delicate and
apparently weak as it is in ,single
mesh, a bit of lace-bark, if rolled into
a thin string, will all but resist human
strength to break it. In string,
braided, and rope form it is used for
I making ud the light lace-bark harness
I of the tropics.
Despite its practical use, there is no
essential demand for lace-bark any
more than for the edelweiss of the
Alps. It has been used by the natives
for hundreds of years, and yet is comparatively
little known to this day. A
few specimens of the lace-bark articles
are believed to exist in different countries
of Europe. These were made
some hundreds of years ago, yet,
although their age is considerable, they
are said to be in a good state of preservation.?Scientific

Willie's Mistake.
Speaking of the turtles that were
recently found in Jersey, bearing dates
of fifty and sixty years ago, recalls an
incident that once occurred on the
farm of the late Henry I. Deacon, a
well-to-do and influential resident of
I the land beyond the Delaware,
i A youngster, who was fond of roarn;
ing over the fine, well-kept farm, found
! a turtle one day and it occurred to him
j to make it one of the ancient date.
Nothing short of the George Washington
era would do. So, taking out
his penknife, the boy inscribed, "G.
W.. 1776," on the reptile's shell. The
cutting, of course, looked very modern,
but this was easily remedied by ruobing
it in mud and polishing it on the
grass.
This done to the satisfaction of the
boy, he rushed to the jolly-faced farmer.
exclaiming:
"Look, Mr. Deacon,' I just found a
turtle more than 100 years old with
George Washington's initials on the
shell!"
"Thee has?" said Mr. Deacon, holding
out his hand for the turtle.
"Yes, sir," returned the youngster
with a very straight face.
The good old farmer glanced at the
reptile just one second, and then burst
out into a merry laugh. \
"Willie, thee fool," said he, "that
turtle isn't half grown."?Philadelphia

These were supposed to be the wounded.
The dogs found them all, and
either stayed with them and barked
if the trainers were near enough to
hear them, or ran for the trainer when
the distance was ton long. Then they
were sent with messages contained in
a locket fastened to their collars, to
which they had to bring answers.?

j At Valdosta, Ga., Monday night, at j
I 8:45, Judge R. G. Mitchell passed sen- 1
! tences on J. G. Rawlings and his three !
i i
j sons, Milton, Jesse and Leonard. The . <
! scene was one of the most touching
I and dramatic ever witnessed in a 1 (
I court in Valdosta. I
j Judge Mitchell was brief in his re- j
i marks during the passing of the sen!
tences. They were very touching, but !
fell with force on the ears of the large ,
I crowd packed into the court house, j
j The first three were sentenced to be !
i hanged September 15, and Leonard
was sentenced to life imprisonment. 1
When the elder Rawlings was asked 1
j if he had anything to say why sen- j <
! tence should not be passed upon him,
he arose and said:
"I have a conscience that stands I
correct. You can no more pluck It than |
you can the brightness of the sun. :
Your sentence can do no more than ! <
kill. Pass it." j (
Milton received the sentence stoic- J
j ally and never opened his mouth. Jes- j
j se and Leonard burst into tears, and ;
: both of them said: "I am innocenC j1
! Mrs. Rawlings and her two daugh-1
i ters were present, and on them the j
! blow fell with crushing force, all of !
them weeping bitterly.
The jury in the case of Frank Tur- j
ner, the oolored preacher, brought in ;
a verdict of guilty with a recommen- j
dation to mercy at a quarter after 8 j
j o'clock, and the sentences on the Rawl- !
! ings were passed immediately after on
j request* of their council, Hon. John j
j R. Cooper. Mr. Cooper immediately |
j moved for a new trial, which motion |
j will be heard on August 9.
The prosecution put up many wit- |
| nesses. W. L. .Carter and his wife j
and daughter were the first. They tes- j
tified to the facts of the murder, giv- j
ing the same testimony which they :
had given during the other trials.
Alf Moore, convicted as one of the j
principals in the assassinations, was J
sworn, and said that Turner had gone j
to him with a proposition 10 *111 me |
Carters, saying that Rawlings wanted i
; to hire a man to do the work and
would give him (Moore) $100 if h8 !
would do it.
Mitch Johnson, colored, swore that
Turner told him that Rawlings would
give him $125 to kill Carter and his
family.
The defense put up no witnesses,
and had Turner go on the stand and
make a statement. He denied any
connection in the matter and said
while he had worked for Rawlings,
and knew of his troubles with Carter,
he had endeavored always to keep
clear of any connection with the troubles
of the white people. He told the
jury that he was in their hands, that
he bad done what he could to establish
his innocence and told them to do
with him as they thought right

the court will be permanently adjourned.

, :
President Jordan of southern Cotton
* - K"
Association Quoted as Saying Secretary's
Resignation is an
Absolute Necessity.
A Washington special says: The *
fact heretofore alluded to in these
dispatches that cotton producers of
the south ?.re by no means a unit in
demanding the resignation of Secre*
.yy
tary of Agriculture Wilson and the
abolition of the bureau of statistics
because of the recently discovered
scandal, has been shown in a most N
conclusive manner. Monday's papers
printed a dispatch from Atlanta, in
which President Jordan of the South- ;
era Cotton Association was Quoted as
saying, among other things, that Mr. *
Wilson's resignation was absolutely jj
necessary in order to inspire new confidence
in the department. During the
day, E. S. Peters of Calvert, Texas, M
who has for some time been presi- '' ^
dent of the Texas Cotton Growers' '
Association and is in addition a vice
president of the Southern Cotton As- <.
sociation, sent the following telegram
to Secretary Wilson at Oyster Bay:
"In reference to the interview of . {M
President Jordan, I would say I oan- i;.y
not endorse the same. The farmers
and cotton growers of the south have
implicit confidence in your honesty and
ability to purge the department of all
grafters, and hope the president will
left nothing to interfere with the great v J
work you are now doing for them." ^
"The Southern Cotton Association &
has taken no action looking to a request
for Secretary Wilson's resigna- ^
tion," said Colonel Peters, in discuss- H
In? his teleeram.
"President Jordan may be express-. ;?|1
ing his personal ideas, and I may now ' f.
be expressing" only mine, but the exeo-.
utive committee of "the gssociatlon has
never considered a request for the &
resignation of Secretary Wilson. I vl
am assured that the farmers and cotton
growers of the section west of the -1
Mississippi will never listen to such a %
proposition. In our opinion Secretary
Wdlson is the only secretary we . J;
have ever had.
"The tremendous Influence of the ^ ,.j|
bureau of plant industry and entomol- -S
ogy, with which I am particularly cOn- ^
versant, is entirely his work. That
work has meant millions to the south.
I must take issue with Mr. Jordan. It ?
Is possible the confidence of the secre- "Ja
tary has been abused, but there is no / .
reason to believe that the intelligent -1
citizens of the south will confuse the
cupidity of under officials and their
abuse of the department with the rep
utation of Mr. Wilson. He has our -agn
confidence, and to charge him with
incompetency or to assert that his
days of usefulness are over, is an .
unwarranted charge."
