THE NEW COAL TRUST.
All the Operators of the Hooking Valley to
Merge Into One Company.


Merge Into One Company.
COLUMBUS, Dec. 13-The coal operators
of the Hooking Valley, in session here,
sook steps toward the formation of trust
for the handling of the output of all their
mines. 1t was decided to form a company
under the incorporation laws of the State,
10 which all the output of all the coal mines
along the Columbus, Hooking Valley and
Toledo Railroad shall be turned over for
sale.
The new company employ all travelling
men and attend to all contracts, and the In
dlvidual operators will have nothing to do
with the sale of coal. This will result in
the discharge of a number of statesmen in
the employ of operators, and an immense
reduction in the expense of handling the
coal market All ocking Valley operators
along the lines of the Baltimore aud Ohio,
Columbus, Shawnee and II docking and Tole-
do and Ohio Central railroads are, it is said,
TO become members.

Tho Coyote in a New Character.

When Ell Paso was a little village
called Franklin it was the boast of ole
timers that hydrophobia was unknown
in the southwest save when the from.
tiersman was exposed to the bite of the
skunk. Of recent years new danger
has been added to a life upon the plains
from the attack of the coyote or wild
dog of the plains. Under normal cir.
cumstances the coyote is a cowardly
animal. But due to some fact unknown
to the writer of late years coyotes have
been frequently known in the southwest
to attack travellers in broad daylight OF
to sneak upon them when wrapped up
in their blankets resting, unsuspicious
Of danger.
Five deaths occurred last year from
this cause, one of them near Albu.
querque. Lieutenant Britton Davis, OF
Chihuahua, Mexico, on Saturday in
formed the writer of three fresh cases,
one the son of bishop OF the other
two the lieutenant had just been in
formed by one of the victims in person,
who had been bitten when asleep at the
hacienda of Corralitos. They were two
brothers, one having died of the effects
of bite in the head, the remaining one
having arrived in person in Ell Paso
seeking medical assistance.-El Paso

will be remembered ais the st. Louis
editor who killed Col. Slayback. He
is writing the fiercest protective tariff
articles now; the files of The Baltimore
Gazette would furnish strong articles
written by him against the tariff. 1t
is not unsual in the east for an editor
to write anything he is paid for, but
it is unusual for one to brazenly pub
lish his inconsistency.
Col. Grovernor, the author of the
standard work of anti-tarif men,
"Does Protection Protect" is one OF
the writing editors of the New York
Tribune, and it often becomes his
duty to answer arguments taken from
his own book, but he does not publish
his name as editor, as that paper is
impersonaI except for its known pro-
prietor, Whitelaw Reid.
Down here in Texas the people
would have very little confidence in
an editor who wrote against his
known political principles, but we are
more primitive and therefore mole
honest down here.

Excavations at Tunis.

1t is announced from Tunis that ex.
cavations are now being made in the
famous two headed hill mentioned by
Virgil, which hill is situated about
eight miles from Tunis. Many inter.
esting remains have already been I'm.
earthed, and it is confidently hoped that
better will follow.
A temple of Baal Saturn, which has
been almost entirely laid bare, is at.
tracing particularly the attention OF
the French psychologists because of its
peculiarly interesting statues and bas.
reliefs. The building is situated at an
elevation of over 1000 feet, and this is
another proof that the Carthaginians
practiced their religious ceremonies on
hills.
On all the statues of the gods to which
the temple is dedicated the names Baal
and Saturn are found together, which
would seem to indicate that to fattel
their Roman conquerors the Carthagin.
ians had added to the name of their
chief god that of the highest Roman
deity.-Chambers' Journal.

An Oversepsitive Maid.

"About as bad as a callous maid" said
housekeeper, sis an oversensitive one.
l am sorely tried at times with my girl.
who is cook and housemaid in one, and
who is too capable to lose. But she
bursts into tears if ] even suggest re-
proof or criticism. A request to salt the
soup more makes her eyes red, and an
intimation that the potatoes are under
done converts her into Niobe. I've rea-
soned with her on this state of things
only to provoke a fresh deluge, and now
I've given it up. I approach her with
the greatest cheerfulness and gayety,
only occasionally permitting myself the
small sarcasm in beginning, Don't cry,
Mary, but your bread is not quite so
good as usual this baking She does
cry invariably, but at least she knows
am prepared for it."-Her Point of

GOVERNOR IRELAND says he is not
the least alarmed about platforms,
and that all platforms are trimmed to
suit men and sections, nor does he re-
gard it important that state plat
form should go beyond or fall short OF
q national platform. Governor Ire
land is ambitious, and in all proba-
bility will loom up as candidate for
some office in the future. His sup
porters may feel easy on the subject
of the platform they ask him to stand
upon. He seems to be ready to strad-
die any kind of platform that any
body may construct, Greenback or
any other kind. Just offer him a
nomination and make the platform to
suit yourself. His legs can stretch
over any number or kind of planks.

A House of Aluminium.

The Chicago leasehold trustees will
erect upon their ground at the north
west corner of State and Madison streets
a building the fronts of which will be
composed of aluminium, bronze and
glass. This will be the first instance OF
which this metal entered into the struc.
ture of q building. The building will
have frontage of 6215 feet on State and
106 on Madison and will be sixteen
stories high. The aluminium columns
will be of soft gold color. The build.
ing will be of steel construction, and its
interior will be finished in elegant style,
including mosaic floors, marble walls,
etc. The possibilities of aluminium have
been pronounced infinite, but neverthe.
less the fact that it is to be used in the
outer construction of a great Office must
excite extended notice.-New York Tele.

The UgIiest Thing on Earth.

Nothing in life is so ugly as man in
bathing suit. He is bad enough when
he is we'll made, ridiculous when he is
scranny, and appalling when his archi.
lecture is of the convex order. In the
latter case, he always wears hori-
zontally striped suit. Then. when he
sprawls on the sand at some girls feet,
half dirty and wholly repulsive, you
want to kick him. Men must have very
little vanity. You never catch a girl
doing anything of that sort. They make
for the lighthouses the moment they
leave the water, like stones out of cat
apult.--EXchange.

A Simple Remedy for Cholera.

DR.. Henry G. Cooper swears by this
:emedy for cholera: One ounce of CAM
phor should he dissolved in six ounces
of spirits of wine, and small bottle
should be given to any intelligent per-
7on who will undertake to administer it
to his poor neighbors when they are
seizeo with cholera or any of its symp'
toms. The following instructions should
be carried out at the same time with the
utmost care and attention to detail:
On the appearance of any cholera
symptoms, such as vomiting, purging,
Sudden weakness, GOODNESS, cramps OF
spasms, instead of administering brandy,
whisky or any other kind of medicine
put the patient to bed instantly, covering
him warmly, but not overlooking him
with bedclothes. Then, without a
moments unnecessary delay, administer
(for an adult) two drops (not more) Of
the camphor mixture on little pounded
sugar in spoonful of cold or iced water.
Five minutes after let him take Sec
ond dose of two drops in the same way,
and in five minutes more third dose.
He can then wait ten or fifteen minutes
to see whether or not there is a sense of
returning warmth, with q disposition
toward perspiration, and manifest de-
crease of sickness, cramps, etc. If the
improvement is not satisfactory two
drops more of the mixture must be
taken, as before, and the dose must be
repeated every five minutes until four
teen drops have been taken.
In administering the remedy particu-
lar caution must be observed that the
patient be not allowed to take anything
of that sort or kind while the medicine
is operating, or its effect will be de-
stroyed, for the least foreign medicine
neutralizes the camphor, which is given
to check vomiting and to produce
free warm perspiration.-Pittsburg Dis

THE Fort Worth Gazette puts the
case concisely in this way: sour ex-
ports exceed our imports 1000, COO,
and we pay the entire amount, with
tho exception of $50, 900, 900 in pensions
to favored class, which, for the most
part, lie able to care for itself. Yet
there are people who are continually
asking the question: What Is the
matter with the country" Doesn't
it look tremendous? And yet there
are those who have declared 1t out
rageous that Cleveland kept sending
back to congress private pension bills
with the gentle reminder attached,
that congress should review them a
little more carefully than is the prac-
tice with such bills that pass on days
when half the members are not pres
emit and those that are on hand are
willing to vote for anything SO they
in turn can each get his own pet bill
through. Thank God for president
who was brave enough to call halt
in such terrific bleeding of the treas
ury. The people will put him in
power again to continue the good
work so well begun.

CORPORATIONS our vast network Of
railroads would never have been built
and large cities with the hum of the
spindle and the roar and jar of machin-
cry, with beautiful streets lined with
splendid architecture, with happy
and delightfully."- refined homes in the
west, north and southwest, would
never have been built but the ground
they occupy would still re waste of
sage brushes, the hunting grounds Of.
the Indian and the home of the coy.
ote. But under the influence of cor
porations the iron heel of improvement
has left its mark, and, as if by magic,
all is changed into the beauty of CIV
ilization and Gods green earth has
been made to yield to the hungry ma.
tions of the earth her generous
bounty.
When you hear man declaimiDg
against corporations, ask him where
we in Texas, where the great west
and northwest would have been with
out them and what would have been
our condition? The fact is such a
man has never thought enough
about it to understand what he is
talking about.
If and when there are evils in cor
porations correct them, for they are
the creatures of law, but for the sake
of humanity do not destroy them and
move the world back a century in its
progress.

No Rest for the Villain.

A comedy scene followed the third &C
of a tragedy scene at a theater in an
English provincial town. The villain
had met his death and the curtain was
lowered, but hung there suspended

to lower it proved unavailing until the

tones, as he dragged down
the curtain, mo rest, even in the
