Why Don't You Burn Coal ?

We can prove to you that 'tis cheaper
than wood, and that Blue Canyon coal
is cheaper than any other on the Bey,
for the simple reason that it is q
bituminous coal, while all other Goals
sold here are of the Ignite variety,
which contains scarcely two-thirds the
amount of fixed carbon (the lasting
quality contained in the bituminous
coal. We have recently regarded our
coal, and respectfully call your atten-
ton to the following prices in lots of
one ton, delivered: Extra double
screened lump coal containing moth
ing that will pass between inch bars,

Newa From BraziI

New YORK, March 6-The. Herald 's
cable dispatch from Valparaiso says:
Victories of the Federal party in Rio
Grande DE Sue, Brazil, are reported
less frequently now and the
truth is gradually coming to
light. The seizure two weeks
ago of a ship laden with arms
and ammunition for the Federals by
the Uruguayan authorities has so Grip
pied the revolutionists that tLey have
not been able to take advantage of
their earlier successes. The Federal
army encamped outside of Santa Ana,
has been compelled to retire quietly be-
cause it has no ammunition and can
not take the Castilihistas stronghold.
Meanwhile the Castilihistas are concen-
trating large force at Bage and Cen
eral Tavares is leading Federal army
forward to attack them. If he is sue
cessful in this movement against Bage
he will turn his army back and rein
force the besieged forces at Santa Ana.

AFTER BLUE CANYON COAL
The Alaska Arrives After a Cargo
and the TeObald to Return.
ADVANTAGE OF OUR SHIPPERS
Captain Bakers Narrow Escape-The
Commissioners Meet-In the
Superior Court.

The ship Alaska, Captain Brennan,
arrived in the Bay yesterday morning
in tow Of the tug Tyee, after a trip of
twenty days from San Francisco. She
is to load coal for San Francisco at the
Blue Canyon bunkers and will take
about 1000 tons. The need of ballast
ground where ships can discharge was
again forcibly demonstrated, the tow
boat master not knowing what to do
with the ship left her at anchor in the
middle Of the Bay and the whole day
was consumed in trying to drift or sail
over within reach of G. street dock
where the ballast is to be discharged.
The fact that the bark Theobald which
recently sailed from the bunkers with
a cargo Of coal has been chartered to
return here for another cargo at rate
ten cents per ton less than her original
charter augurs well for the CONNER
cial future of Bellingham bay. The
first cargo of the Theobald was an ex-
pertinent. She had never before visited
our port. The rate furnished was based
upon the cost of shipping from other
sound ports. The prompt dispatch
with which she was enabled to take
her cargo and the protection given her
non-union crew, greatly pleased her
owners who gladly rechretered her at
the reduced rate, This reduction
amounts to over $500 a cargo, which
affords the shippers considerable adj
vantage. The bark belongs to the Port
Blakley Mill Co.

Fortunately the train had not attained

done than the destruction OF the

Preparing to Invade Cuba

New YORK, March 6-The Times
special from Key West, Fla, says: The
Cuban leader, General Jose Marti, ar
rived here last week from Tampa, Fla.
at which place he stopped few days,
endeavoring to arouse the spirits of his
countrymen to strike blow for the
freedom Of Cuba. He raised several
thousand dollars during his short stay
there to defray the expenses of the ex-
pedition and to purchase arms for the
insurgent army. General Marti left
New York Feb. 90 1t is believed here
that he will accompany the expedition
which will sail from Key West, or
from one of the many islands in the
vicinity of that port, if the vessel
which is to convey the members should
succeed in eluding the United States
authorities. Great excitement prevails
here among the Cuban residents, who
are very reticent on the subject Of the
expedition. 1t would seem almost inn
possible for the vessel to get away sue
cessfully from this island, in view of
the precautions taken by the govern
ment.

Change for thu Passen er's SO.

There is a conductor on the Eucli |
avenue street car line who played a
clever trick on q passenger the other
morning, which has probably taught
him to have his fare ready hereafter
when he boards car. The passen3 ger
lives away out at the end OF the line,
and was so punctual that he caught the
same car every morniug. About week
ago he rendered $40 bill in payment
for his fare. The conductor did not
have so much money at the beginning
of his trip and told the passenger that
he would pay the nickel out of his own
pocket aud he could return it the fol.
lowing morning. The next morning the
business man again presented $40 bill.
Again the conductor paid the fare for
him.
This occurred four mornings in sue
cession. The fifth morning the sane $40
bill came around, but the conductor was
prepared. He drew heavy bag from
beneath the seat and handed it to the
passenger with the remark: tHere's
your change, sir. It's all right. I've
counted it." He had secured 1O00'pen.
nies the night before aud kept twenty
five OF them for the fares he paid for the
business man. The bag contained 975
copper coins, Tho passenger took the
bag and rang for the car to stop. He

A Tree 5000 Vars Old.

On the island of Teneriffe, one OF the
largest if not the very largest OF the
Canaries, about nalf way between the
Porto Santo and the summit of the fa-
nous Pico de Tyde, the highest point of
land on the island, stands the consider
able town of Orotava, famous for its
wonderful "Dragon rree," the Identical
botanical specimen which Humboldt
pronounced "the most ancient vegetable
relic in the world" Humboldt made
calculations on its age in several different
ways, and declared that il was between
5000 and 5000 years old. Sir John
Herschel often alludes to it as the oldest
tree in the world. For at least twenty
centuries the Guaaches used the immense
hollow Of this ancient tree as temple of
worship. Its eventful career was sud-
denly terminated in the summer OF 1867,
when it was uprooted aud almost entirely
destroyed by a hurricane. Lolis

The Mound City's Name.

The city having been named in honor
Of st. Louis many suppose that the pro.
nnnciation should be "St. Looie," be-
cause that is the correct pronunciation
of the name Of the saint. Louis is not
an English name, and Hume, in angli-
cizing it in his history, always writes it
"Lewis." All the French kings of the
name "Louis" are "Lewis" in Hume's
writings. Those who say est. Looie"
in speaking of the city may think it is
more honor to TIE sainted King of
France, for whom 1t was named, to use
the French pronunciation. On the other
hand, our language is English, and it is
perfectly natural that there should be
those who hold that the name Of our
cities should be as nearly English as
possible. The "St. Loole" pronuncia-
ton will never cause any one to forget
why the city was named st. Louis, and
il it is the most popular it should be
generally accepted. Doubtless the ear
liest settlers never said ''St. Loois," but
it is hong time since they were here

A Mathematician, who evidently has
abundant leisure, has been figuring, re-
lates the New York News, on the size
of the mortgage we should now be
carrying if Columbus had pledged this
country for the cost of his outfit.
Starting with the assumption that the
expenditure cost Isabelle $40, 600, he
adds interest compounded every six
months. At the present time the
amount foots up nearly 271 quadrillion
dollars. Taking the population of the
United States at $4,000, 900, the little
obligation reaches nearly AIT million
dollars for each inhabitant. It is con-
sequently a great relief to know that
Columbus never set foot on North
America. 1t would be very embarrass-
ing to have musty mortgage for that
