This is a considerably greater guam
titv than was ever shipped from this
place in any previous year. and is q
good deal greater than has ever yet
been shipped from any other mine on
the Pacific coast in u like period Of
time. 1t very nearly equals the com
bined shipments OF either all the British
Columbia or oil the Mount Diablo mines
in the most prosperous year Of their
history.
In 1850 the United States produced,
il is estimated by the Government. 81
22d.7 tons Of coal. little more than
half Of which WAS bituminous. In 1878
the production had attained the i'm
mense figure Of 4s.652.6ls tons, when
bituminous Goals comprised nearly two
thirds the whole.
The coal production OF the world is
placed by high authorities at about two
hundred and ninety million tons annu-
ally. OF this vast quantity Great Britain
is crcdited with one hundred aud thirty.
five millions. the United States with
fifty millions, Germany with forty eight
millions, France with seventeen millions,
Belgium with fourteen millions. Austria
with twelve millions, and oil other
countries combined with the small re-
mainder.

BATHING. We believe in giving the
youngsters q chance 70 do their bathing
on the city front, for they need the
cleaning and the cxhilaratiou. and no
one is injured thereby. We think, how
ever, that they might be . little more
modest about it than they apparently
choose to be. aud If they will not be 50
of their own choice, they should be
compelled to. When they so OF to .
moderate distance, no one is hurt by the
sight. and no one will complain; but
when. on the contrary, they peel of at
picnic, within fifteen or twenty feet OF
groups of ladies, accompanying their
acts with shouts and motions to attract
attention. they go beyond the bounds Of
decency. and deserve whipping The
trouble with boys in matters Of this kind
is their irrepre.sible propensity to en-
croach on the good nature of the COM
munity. Give them an ell. and they
will not hesitate to take yard.

near Main and Third streets. which in q
little while WAS enveloped in flames
and beyond saving. Standing sloof
from other buildings, the roofs OF which
were wet by the recent shower aud by
men carrying water in buckets. it
burned to the ground without com
municating the destructive element.
The steam engine was got out and at

ORIGIN OF THE MAsoNs Masonic
writer's claim that the Masonic or
dor was founded in Solomon's time,
deriving it's origin from the s'Diony>
sale fraternity" of architects and
builders engaged in the copstruc-
ton of temples and theatres, q band
OF whom worked upon the temple.
OF this thore is no historical proof.
BY another account the origin is
found in the associations of masons
and builers during the Middle Ages.
These associations had regular
government and, ranged from coun-
try to country wherever they found
churches to build. They enjoyed
tho especial favor of the Copes, and
were exempted from taxes and 9th.
er burdens, from which comes the
name "free" masons. Men of emi-
nence, both kings and prelates,
joined the order, and finally the
practical feature fell into obeyance.
Masonry now is speculative. Some
writer's claim that it had it's origin
in 1646, being founded by an Eng
lishman named Ashmole, from signs
and symbols borrowed from the
Knights Templars and Rosicruoians.
In 1885 Sir Christopher Wren was
appointed Grand Master of Eng
land, 80 that it must have had sew
eral lodges. In 1902 st. Paul's
Lodge of London was the only one, or
about the only one in England, and
this lodge threw open the doors to
other professions. In 1717 there
were four lodges, and these formed
the Grand Lodge. AS thus organ~
lied it was transplanted to the
Continent. The first lodge in
America was organized in Boston in
1888. Many attempts have been
made in Europe to suppress the
order. It now numbers about
10000 lodges and 100000 mons
bers. Over 1000 books relating to
It have been published.--New Yorh
