THE ANTHRACITE OUTPUT.

The month of August left nothing to criticise The
presidents held that months output to the tonnage
agreed upon by the sales agents. September con-
slderaby beyond the agreement. October shows
further slipping away from mining. The
sales agents recommended "a million tons. The
presidents did not meet; were they afraid OF making
themselves the laughing stock OF the trade, like the
sales agents when they agree upon a tonnage which
they know will be exceeded Is 1t not about time
that other farce playedi Why should we
all pretend limit the output Of anthracite when 1t Is
perfect 20 as you pease"l And this in spite Of
the fact that trade is settling down into dulness with
some coal going old orders mostly. Now let
see how September results figure out:
Price, at ss. IS Ess s. ss0 sS 3 sg 81
Deduct freight and com
Net prices at breaker 81 AS 81 65 81 IS 81 65
What mining company or individual operator can
pay the going rates for royalty and make dollar at
these prices. OF course they cannot except In the
cases Of the great companies who make the freight
charges cover their profit.
Now comes the important question. No better year
for the anthracite trade than the present need be
pected When market which will take 40 million
tons is so handled that better prices than those Of
the present year be obtained for hard COAL then the
prospect IS serious Production has been kept half

When We Will Have Foreign Prices

Give to our great American manu-
facturers European rates of wages
and European armies and guns to
keep the starving workmen in SUBJ
lection, and European almshouses
for the wage earners to spend their
declining days in, and they will pro-
duce you goods cheap enough for
the widest Free Trader. In those
countries women as we'll as men toll,
for mans earnings alone are lnsuffl-
cient to keep body and soul togeth-
er.
When our American mothers, and
wives, and sisters. and women folk
generally have to labor as the toilng
suffering multitudes labor on the 9th
er side Of the Atlantic, then and moi
until then can we dig onr minerals
shape our iron, fashion our pottery
spin our yaln, weave our cloth, make
our garments, build our houses and
produce our commodities as cheaply.

Our European friends who are
engineering that alleged retaliatory
movement which is to include Ger
many, Austria, Hungary, Italy and
Switzerland, should not forget that
"blufhing" forms a very important
feature Of a game with which Uncle
Sam is entirely familiar, and before
indulging in it they should be pre-
pared for a F." call" or even a "raise. >
Seriously though, this talk of Euro
pean retaliation against us because
we have enacted tariff law that is
building up our own country and
iniuring European countries, and ex-
tending our commerce to countries
where trade has long been monopo-
lized by European nations, is all
bosh. The sentiment Of Europe.has
always been antagonistic to Ameri-
can commerce in any shape, but SEN
timent does not control business.
Our cereals and our meats have been
purchased by Europe solely because
they were better and cheaper than
any other country could furnish, and
for the same reason they will con-
tinue to be purchased over there,
and America need have no fear of
losing these markets until India and
Russia can furnish a sufficient sup
ply Of those articles at less price
than we can. The United States
has no reason to be afraid of retail
alton from any quarter, and least Of
all from Central Europe, which is
bound to buy of US largely in order
to exist.

The sudden collapse of the Jones,

Where JeWs,.Harps are Made.

The village of Bath Hudson,
though its manufacturing interests are
few. can boast of possessing the only
jews'-harp factory in the United States.
Simple as the jews harp is it requires,
nevertheless, no little skill in con-
structiOn.
The proprietor of the factory in Bath
is John Smith. For thirty years he
has worked at the business, and he has
perfected himself to such an extent
that his work is recognized as among
the best in the world. The factory is
a small building situated short dis
lance off of Third street, and although
unpretentious, contains every facility
for the manufacture of jews harp.
The first work done on jcws'-harp
is to place the frame in Il wise, file of;
the roughness and taper down the
points, so that each side presents q
sharp edge, between which the tongue
is to vibrate. The most delicate work
then begins. A piece of steel wire il
cut from coil. hammered flat at one
end and left round at the other, and
tempered with the greatest care. The
fiat end is then set in the arc of the
frame, and then the two arms are care.
fully pressed and hammered until they
come as close rs possible to the tongue
without touching it.
The round end of the tongue is then
bent in the form of right angle, the
point is turned over and the "harpp
is ready to be placed in the hands OF
the finisher. There are seven sizes
and four kinds of finishing-the CON-
mon, gold bronze, lacquered and tin
plated. The harp can be tuned ia
any pitch. To make the tone high the
tongue is made small and pressed back
toward the frame; to make the tone
lower it is bent forward.

Enormous NIeteorites.

In an account of Mexican meteorites,
Mr.. L. Fletcher, an English mineralog-
ist describes fourteen huge masses of
iron which have been found within a
small section of country. The largest
has the form of beehive. rises four
feet above the ground. and is five feet
in diameter at the surface of the soil,
beneath which it extends to unknown
depths. The second mass, estimated
to weigh 1000 pounds, is now in the
National Museum at Washington. The
Butcher masses number eight pieces.
weighing from 900 pounds to $50
pounds, and having total weight of
1000 pounds. The Sanchez estate
mass weighs 252 pounds. and the Fort
Duncan mass 97f pounds. The great
est dispersion is sixty-six miles.

Smell Of Paint.

The best way to remove the smell OF
paint is to first render the room as
nearly as possible air-tight by closing
the windows, doors and other openings
Place a vessel Of lighted charcoal in
the room. and throw on it two or three
handfuls of juniper berries. After
twenty-four hours the smell will have
entirely disappeared. Another method
of doing the same thing is to plunge a
handful of new hay into pail Of water
and let it stand in the newly painted
room.

WAYS OF THE WANKONDES
One Of the Races Inh.biting the Central
Part Of Africa.

In new book of African adventure
l.. NJ. Fotheringham tells of u two
years struggle with Arab shareholders
in Africa. In speaking of the Wakon.
des he says: You could see the people
in their element any forenoon you
chose to walk among the bananas. You
would be greeted on all sides with
"Sawkirc uguniii?' Good morning
have you slept well?" Possibly some
of the natives might be at their toilet
some washing and others shaving.
Both women and men shave off their
eyebrows and pull out their eyelashes
"a practice which does not enhance
their appearance. They also shave
the head. A bit of iron with good
edge does duty as razor.
The men love to sit and smoke their
morning pipes under the cool shade of
the bananas. The pipe is simply a
gourd with little hole near the bot
tom, into which the head or cup with
the tobacco is put. Water is poured
into the gourd. A hole at the top,
about one inch in diameter, is the
mouth-piece. The native puts his lips
over this hole and takes good pull,
and then passes it on to his neighbor.
Then they puff the smoke in the air
and watch it, with their dreamy eyes,
dissolve among the leaves. They
know both how to grow tobacco and
how to smoke it, as the luxury of the
native pipe is uncommonly refreshing
The Wankondes yield to none in hos
pitality. Whenever you enter village
you are presented to the chief and re-
celve Il present of bullock or its
equivalent in fruit, etc. There are
only two regular meals in the day {
shall not say how many snacks they
have in the interval, and these occur
at midday and between and O'Clock
at night. Native etiquette prevents
the men dining along with the women.

Lieutanant Fowler Gets a HOt Trail And Captures a Horse
 Thief.

A H Emanuel visited Robbins ranch at Ash canyon yesterday and brought back bit of interesting news from there.
 Lieut. Fowler, it will be remembered was camped there during the week. About the middle of the week, while scouting around the mountains, a trail supposed to have been made by Indians, was struck and followed across the Mule mountains It was followed over there and from there over into the San Jose range into a canyon where two Mexicans, armed to the teeth, were found in possession of one of JO Psscholy's horses and TWO saddles. They had evidently had two horses, but one had been abandoned. The two Mexicans were held in con versation while Lieut.. Fowler rode over to the Palominas custom house to notify the authorities there ci the facts.
 He did this, believing he was on Mexican soil and had no right to hold a Mexican citizen on his own ground. When he arrived at Paloninas, which was twenty miles distant, he found three Americans there who were look ng after the stolen horses which had been taken from Robbins pasture on the i+ih inst.
 They immediately went back and captured the two saddles and the Mexican but the other fellow and the horse had not returned.
 Tue Mexican was taken toward the Mexican custom house but was turned over to the Mexican rangers before getting there.
 The horses stolen were branded U and were purchased by PaschOly and i others at a government sale. The one ridden by the Mexican was readily recognized by Fowler, and Cook the packer.
 About the time this occurred, Green and Plaster with several others sp- peared and at once took the trail oi the escaped Mexican. Before going Green gave bonds at the custom house for all of the horses and men of hi: party, and with the best wishes of the Mexican officers for success, went down with the determination to stay with the trail
 IL i. believed that Coltez and th' rangers will never take the Mexican Tn their possession to Arispe but tha they will adopt the tactics of allowing him chance to escape and shoot hin while attempting to do so.
 Lieut.. Fowler and troops were or dered back to Huachucs where the! arrived Saturday night.
