mayor of Grand Rapids and was delegate
at large to the Democratic national con-
vention which met in Chicago last year.
Mr.. Uhl was born near Ann Arbor and is
about 80 years of age. He is graduate Of
the University of Michigan and of the law
school and has accumulated a comfortable
competency in the practice of his profession.
The salary of his new position is small,
$500 a year, having been reduced from
81, 800 couple of years ago, under an eco
nomical spasm that was intended to in
clude all the assistant secretaries, but
stopped short when it got through with
those in the state department.
Though he has had no previous diplo-
matte experience, Mr. Uhl will probably
find the duties of his post of an agreeable
nature. The dispensation of patronage
will not occupy SO much of his time as it
did with Mr.. Quincy, for most of the con-
sulships have been filled, and the few good
ones remaining will not take long to dis
pose of. Mr.. Uhl is said to have declined
an appointment as assistant secretary of
war last spring, though the salary was 81, 900
more than that which he now receives.

A COLOSSAL SCHEME
IlR GEORGE ELLloT'S PROPOSED ENG
LlSH COAL TRUST.

The Coal Mines of the United Kingdom to
BE Operated on a Cooperative PIan--The
Price of Coal to BE Regulated by the
Government.
The great English coal strike which has
beea on since last July, is practically over
and has resulted in a completsSlvtory for
the miners. 1t has been long and costly
struggle, entailing more suffering and
financial loss than many a small war
The strike was nominally against a reduc
ton of wages, but the men realized that
on it's result depended the existence of
their unions. The splendid discipline
maintained in their ranks must have chal-
lenged the admiration even of their enc
mics.
The miners have not only succeeded in
maintaining their wages at the old rates,
but have gained very significant con-
cession from the owners in the provision
that where the sliding wage scale is in
use there shall be minimum fixed below
which wages must not fall. This will pre-
vent n repetition of the experience of the
past two years in South Wales, WHERE I'M
der the prevalence of the sliding scale,
wages have been reduced 40 and even SO
per cent. The chief significance of this
provision, however, lies in the admission
it involves as a corollary that the men
have n right to draw a wage line.
Another significant thing in connection
with the struggle is the fact that it is
largely responsible for the proinulgation
by Sir George Elliot of n scheme which he
has been considering for years and which
is of such colossal magnitude and involves

BARON HARDEN-HICKEY

BARON HARDEN-HlCKEY. says he Is going
10 establish an independent government
on the island of Trinidad in the south At
lantic ocean about 700 miles from the coast
of Brazil, which is the nearest land to it,
The island is about % miles long and
two to three miles wide and contains about
go square miles of territory. The soil is
fairly good, vegetation is abundant, and
there is considerable commercial timber
A river of pure fresh water runs through
it, and 1t has all the essentials for sup
porting several hundred people. Large
numbers of wild fowl make it their breed
ing place, and it is visited by thousands
of turtles, which deposit their eggs there
1t has some valuable guano deposits, and
there is no reason why prosperous colony
should hot be established there.
This Baron Hickey intends to do 1t is
the manner in which he proposes to do it
that is sensational He intends that it
shall be entirely independent of any exist
ing national government and has even de-
clared himself as to the particular form of
government to be established. AS might
be presumed from his long championship
of the French royalists in his Partisan
newspaper, The Triboulet, he will not es-
tablish republic, but bantling monar-
chy, unless, indeed he runs foul of the in
convenient Monroe doctrine and does not
establish anything.
The baron visited Trinidad in 1883, when
he was on II voyage around the world in
sailing ship which put in there for water.
He explored the island and conceived his
idea of founding a kingdom there then,
but kept on his voyage around the world
and in due time reached New York and
married his wealthy bride The idea of
founding nation never entirely died out

Origin of the Name america. e"

The name America" was not suggested
for the western hemisphere until 1901 In
that year was published little geograph-
ical treatise, written by one Martin VALID
seemuller, in which the name of America"
was first suggested for the new continent,
then recently discovered by Columbus.
Curiously enough, it was not until 1887
that Alexander Won Humboldt pointed out
this curious fact, which at once exonerated
Amerigo Vespucci from the accusation of
having given his name to the new world
discovered by his less fortunate compatriot.

THE EASTER BONNET.
Why 1t has Came to BE Essential and
It's Right to BE Popular.

AT no season Of the year is the ques
such interest to the we'll dressed woman
as during the week Immediately pre-
ceeding Easter, when the whole world is
blossoming forth in the general awaken
ing following the GLOOM and sombre
hues of winter, and anticipating the event
observed throughout christendom as a
time for gay attire and general holiday
making 1t is in accordance with this
time. honored custom that the Easter
bonnet has come to be as much part of
the celebration as is the Christmas stock
ing at the December merry-making, and
will continue TO be as long as the milin-
cry art is what it now is
The fact that Easter comes early in the
season this year, Durham miliners have
had to put forth extraordinary efforts
have had TO rise al UnseemlY hours and
work late into the night in order TO ac-
commedate their customers. But as
usual they were ready and if every wo-
man in Durham does not appear in a
new hat on Sunday morning it is not
their fault.
OF these a firm which has always lead
the trade and enjoyed popularity which
has suffered nothing from later rivals, is
that of Mrs Ada Smith, enc Of the best
known millinery firms in the state and
one which has earned success by faithful
work and always keeping up with the
times. Her styles have always been
recognized as the latest and effects most
beautiful and becoming. Experienced
trimmers have charge Of her work rooms
and customers are sure Of always finding
there the correct thing.
Miss Julia Albright, who selected the
stock this season, went to headquarters
for spring styles, and studied spring mill
liuary in all its phases in New York
where, outside of Paris, styles are made.
She brings with her the latest and most
popular metropolitan fashions, as will
be seen by all who visit this establishment
during this, the opening week. The
Easter bonnet in all its wildeTing beauty
is there, and all should visit Mrs Ada
Smiths millinery stove before Sunday.

MOUNTAIN MISSIONS.
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE POOR
WHITES" OF THE HILL COUNTRY.

A Southern Clergyman Refutes the Charge
That Ignorance and SqualOr Are Preva-
lent to Any Remarkable Degree In the
Mountain Districts.
SectionaHsts who desire to create for
themselves a field of operations and an
income in a charming and healthful
southern climate not infrequently write
very touching articles for the northern
press on the deplOrable condition of the
mountain whites of the south and the
need of mission work" among them.
Such persons, in descriptions of life
among the mountains of western North
Carolina and east Tennessee, pile on
the agony in a marvellous manner. Some
times they do it with an utter disregard
for the truth They represent the excep-
ton to be the rule, and picture scenes
and conditions common enough in parts
Of the north and west perhaps, large
cities as we'll as country places, but very
rare among the people of the Appalachian
region of the south. One would think
from their accounts that the southern
mountains were swarming with cave
dwellCrs. The aim seems to be to per
petuate the ideas of that class of philan-
thropists who find peculiar pleasure in
contemplating poverty, ignorance and
degradation III the south since the civil
war.
Not long since The Sun noticed an ap-
peal of this sort for aid to mission work
for mountain Whites" showing that it
was in effect libel upon the people it
professed to describe. Any person ia
miliar with the Appalachian region of
the south would see at a glance how alb
surd the whole thing was. The Christian
Union for Dec. 81, 1892, contains letter
from Rev. d. Atkins, a Methodist minis
ter of Hendersonville. n. c., which com
pletely demOhshes the mountain white"
myth. Mr.. Atkins will be conceded to
know what he is writing about He was

and degradation. He entered college

! IduuOcK. on might I'VE mere an age
and never hear of such savage and weird
funeral customs as Professor Bemis, an
other correspondent writing from the
south, told your readers about"
The situation is not such as was de-
scribed by The Unions correspondents.
Putting it in a nutshell, Mr.. Atkins says
of Mrs. Paddocks picture: "She has pre-
sented the very worst possible case that
could be found in the remotest part and
/ made it a sample of all the 1000, 900 here,
SO that if any one should receive an i'm
preston from such writing he would sup
pose no other kind of people could be
found here"
AS a matter of fact, the mountain
whites" are not a distinct class. Their
ancestors, says Mr.. Atkins, were not out
laws, but pioneers from the coast coun-
try. They generally own their farms and
make comfortable living. To say they
hunt for a living is absurd. There is lit
tie wealth and not as much luxury as
might be, but the people live decently.
There are some log houses, three-fourths
of which have windows. None are plas-
tered with mud, as alleged, or without
wooden floors. But few have only one
room. Generally the houses are quite
comfortable. All have. good open fire
places. Fuel is abundant and costs moth
ing, so that the correspondents story of
children covering their limbs with warm
ashes to keep from freezing" is specially
absurd. The people, Mr.. Atkins affirms,
are already religious and moral. They OBJ
serve Sunday and attend Sunday school.
There is scarcely a district where there is
not school for at least three months in
the year. Few persons are unable to read
and write, and such cases are SO rare as
to excite surprise among the neighbors.
AS respects the girls who were de-
scribed as overworked and vicious, Mr..
Atkins says not one in a hundred would
know herself by that description. THE
common virtues" he says-"chastity,
honesty, truthfulness, etc.-are rather
more prevalent than in other sections l
have seen. The girls are healthy, strong
and full Of spirit. They marry at good
age, make excellent wives and mothers.
and do much less hard work than their
sisters Of the north and west" and Mr..
Atkins spent four years in the west
