INVENTOR EDISON'S HELPMEET.
"A Charming Woman I'm n Charm.
Ing Home Mt LleweIlyn Park,
n

Edison the great inventor, has an
ideal home at Orange, N. j., and a
charming wife to preside overit. Mrs.
Edison before her marriage was Miss
Nina Miller, the daughter of Lewis
Miller, the millionaire inventor and
leading light in the Chautauqua move
ment. Edison met her in Boston
where she was studying music, some
time i" 1SSa- He fell desncratelv in
love, and within six months they were
engaged to be married. The wedding
took place in February, 1886. Mrs.
Edison is tall and stately and has
brown eyes and warm, dark hair and
clear olive complexion. She is per-
fectly proportioned and very graceful
and altogether charming woman.
The Edison home, Glenmont, is in
Llewellyn park, suburb of Orange,
and one OF the rrettiest places in the
Orange mountains, being situated on
the eastern slope of Eagle Rock,
whence can be obtained one of the
most beautiful and extensive views to
be had in the neighborhood of New
York. The observatory at Coney Is
land, 20 miles away, can be discerned
from there on clear day, and charm
ing glimpses of the intervening coun-
tIy. Glenmont itself is luxurious and
beautiful. Its furnishings and deco
rations are in the best of taste, and
Edison has comfortable, big library,
in which bookworm might dream
away his existence in contented peace
and idleness.
Edison has no time for that kind Of
dreaming, however. His province is
rather to make dreams practicable, and
to that end he spends most OF his time
in his laboratory and workshops-a
group OF red brick buildings, about
five minutes walk from the house.
They say that Mrs. Edison has often
to go down to the laboratory to re-
mind her husband that it is meal
time, for he gets so absorbed in his
experiments that he quite forgets the
necessity of eating.

about the value OF giving girl full op.

The fame OF this organization has
already extended beyond the limits of
Jersey City, and requests FOR their ser
vices at exhibition drills on behalf OF
church or charity funds are always
pouring in upon Capt. Laws. The
company has agreed to give exhibi-
tions next month in the Presbyterian
church, Plainfield, and at Hasbrouck
Institute Hall, Jersey City.

coal in the State was discovered and
mined for the Hudson Bay Company's
steamers some thirty or forty years
ago. This coal is a Ignite, and owing
to its tendency to spontaneous COM
hustion the mine fired several times
and was finally abandoned. Recent
tests with Il diamond drill have found
the deposit further back in the hills
ten to twelve feet in thickness. This
coal is found in the upper measures
OF the cretaceous; it is a Ignite and is
not underlaid by metamorphic states.
The dip is northwest, and it is the
same bed which was worked for the
Hudson Bay Company.
Returning to Lake Whatcom, on
the west side, there are several small
seams of coal, but as yet none have
been found that are considered Of suf-
ticient worth to work. Almost every
gulch on either side OF the lake has its
coal prospects, sometimes on the con-
tact (schists and coal measures) and
others awry up on the series On the
other side of the lake from Blue can
yon, situated on South bay, a good
deal of work has been done, mostly on
the contact seam (Blue canyon).
Nothing OF any value was discovered.
Along on the coast line in what is
known as Chuckanut bay, the coal
measures crop out for miles, showing
an enormous thickness. Lots of work
has been done only to prove their
worthlessness. They end abruptly in
the northwest corner of Skagit county.
Situated on Chuckanut bay is
large sandstone quarry, from which
stone has been obtained for many
beautiful buildings in the Sound cities.
"The country north from New
WhatcOm is fiat and consequently no
exposures are to be seen, but the in
ference is that there is no coal there,
for the Canada Pacific railway hored
to great depths across the line with
out finding anything OF value.
"The Goals on the Nooksack river
are all high grades, but the same are
thin. The productive part of this field
is nearly all on the eastern ridge or
nearest to the mountains. The west
ern ridge, although great amount of
money has been spent OH it, is almost
barren, with the exception OF the lig-
mite deposits mentioned as being found
with drill. The coal in the entire
district is inclined to be dirty and has
to be handpicked and washed at loss
of about Is to 80 per cent. OF the total
amount mined. All through almost
the entire Skagit district the country
is very mountainous and broken and
densely covered with timber, fir, cedar
and hemlock, the finest in the world.
Still farther west and south across the
Sound, near Port Townsend, coal
measures are to be seen and several
small seams OF coal, but nothing to
justify starting plant.
"The production of this field for
the past year is as follows:

THE postoffice at Washington has
ruled that the writer may regain posses
sion of a letter providing he can prove
to the satisfaction of the postmaster
at the office from which it was sent
that he was the writer OF it. Even if
the letter has arrived at its destination
and before it has been delivered to the
person to whom it was addressed, it
may be recalled by the writer by a
telegram through the mailing office.
The reason assigned is that the United
States is only the agent OF the writer
while the letter is in transit. This
decision is important to business men
and to private individuals.

Catterson and His Pals.

A dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
from its Terre Haute correspondent
says
A trio of desperate crooks are under
arrest in this city for burglary. Their
names are Robert Catterson, George
Pinnell and James Burress. About a
year ago they attempted to do a job of
safe blowing in this city. The safe was
in the distilling company's Office and
contained large amount of money.
The burglars succeeded in blowing open
the outer door of the safe, when they
became frightened and made hasty ex-
it without securing any booty.
They left the city without the police
learning their identity and the matter
had been pretty we'll forgotten, when
three months ago clew was obtained
which led to the detection of the sale
blowers. Pinnel was taken into custody
at indianapolis, where he was already
under arrest for carrying concealed
weapons Burress was captured in this
city Monday and assisted the police to
locate Catterson, who was in Hillsboro,
Ohio. An officer went to that city and
arrested Catterson, who had adopted the
alias of John Turner, and was working
at the Clifton Hotel. The prisoners
have all confessed, and express will
ingness to go into court and plead guilty.
Catterson and Pinnell are desperate
characters and have been associated to-
gether in many thieving enterprises. In
1889 they were confined in the Paris,
ILL.,, Jail, the former for safe blowing and
the latter for horse stealing. They
made an attack on the jailer and came
within an ace of escaping. The iailor
had succumbed to their superior
strength and the prisoners we're about
to make break for liberty when Sheriff
Handley appeared on the scene. He
shot Catterson, inflcting flesh wound,
Pinnell was subdued without being shot.
Both were sentenced to three years i'm
prisonment in the Joliet Penitentiary
and were released in April, 1892. Cat
terson has done time in the Stillwell,
Mimi, and Nashville, Tenn, prisons.
Telegraphic advices say that Catrerson
plead guilty as charged and was sen.
fenced to term of four years in the
penitentiary.

Death Of Hon. John A. Patterson.

Again has death sought shining
mark. Though Mr.. Patterson was ex.
tremely modest and retiring, the com.
lnunity recognized in him man of ex.
traordinary qualities. He was the soul
of honor and the impersonation Of
gentleness. Born December 25th, 1925,
his life seemed to bespeak to all man
kind that good will so appropriate to
his natal day. He was honest, indus
trous and ever ready with.a helping
hand in every hour of need. The
troubles of his friends were: his town,
and his great warm heart throbbed in
sympathy for others woe. He was a
liberal though quiet giver to every
charity, and his noble help will be missed
in many good cause. His unpreten.
tious life was continual, living benedic-
ton to those in distress. Intellectually
he was a man of rare power-one to
whom his friends turned naturally for
wise and kindly counsel. He had been
suffering long time ere death came at
last to his reliet. Yet, every pain was
borne with manly fortitude. On the
oath inst, not unexpectedly, he sank
peacefully into that sleep from which
there is no earthly waking.llAs if in
remembrance and consideration of the
many sweet offices of friendship the
poor sufferer had performed, the angel
of death, at the bidding of the Master,
closed his eyelids gently.
"His dews drop mutely on the hill
His cloud above it saileth still,
Though on its slope men SOW and reap,
More softly than the dew is shed,
Or cloud Is f1osted over head,
He giveth his beloved sleep"
The funeral ceremonies occurred Fri.
day morning at Mr.. Patteson's late
home, some two miles from this city,

POWN.BRoKNG EXPERIMENT.

Notice is served in the ChriSion Union
of the impending trial OF an eleemosynary
experiment which has long been dis
cussed, and is ~of unusual interest. In
August or September the Peoples Bank
Association hopes to open the first OF
of several model pawn.ofiices for the
poor. The newspapers abound from
day to day with stories telling how hard
it is for the very poor to borrow indis'
pensable small sums Of money, and
what exhorbitant rates OF interest are
exaeted for such loans. The legal rate
at pawn.shops is three per cent. month
for the first six months, and two per
cent. month for succeeding months,
bat saost pawnbrokers supplement these
rates by charges for care OF the articles
pawned, 80 that asmuch as 800 per cent.
per annum is sometimes paid to them
for the use of money. The Peoples
Bank Associations proposes to begin by
a charge of one per cent. month, and
expects to start with 100000 capital,
which is to earn fouI. percent. dividends
for its owners. The success OF such q
movement seems to depend simply on
the shrewdness of the money-leader
employed. With the right man in the
svuncular situation there seems to be no
inevitable obstacle to the success of
plan which, if it does succeed, seems
bound to help the right people at the
right time. Plans for the relief Of pawn
brokers who succumb to competition
can be devised later on II they are
needed. d.-Hdrper's Weekly.
