New York Society.

From Life.
Who shall succeed the late Mr.. Meal
Lister? Or Is there really no successor
needed? New York society has improved
considerably since the days of Sexton
Brown and it is quite possible that with
the added culture conveyed by Mr.. Meal
lister it is now able to toddle alone. Most
of It's members now know too much to eat
with their knives. and fewer Of them than
formerly drink out of the finger-bowls. 1t
ment Of going it alone, leaving the duties
of its former guides and mentors to va
rious stationers and caterers who are pre-
sumably competent These, with a few
policemen in plain clothes to keep out those
of us who from choice or necessity are out
side the fence, would doubtless enable the
experiment to be made successfully. In
case Life notes any pronounced decadence
from the present high standard it will sug-
gest new leader who will have all the
convenances at his fingers tips.

NINE OWNED BY KANSAS.

Operated by COnvicts. Its Annual
Output liz About $So,OOO.
From the ST. Louis Republic.
At every session of the legislature ap-
peals come from the unfortunate people CT
Western Kansas for coal from the state
mine at Lansing. This year the legisla-
| ture has contributed from the penitentiary
mine the necessary fuel to keep the rude
cabins and dugouts of the western prairies
warm, and the railroads transport it free.
The legislature is liberal in its donations
of coal to the poor, because the supply of
the state mine is prac tically inexhaustible.
| The Kansas penitentiary property is prob
ably the most valuable of its kind in the
United States.
When the prison was located 1t was on
| account of the valuable stone quarries in
the vicinity of the site. Coal had not then
been discovered in Leavenworth county,
The first shaft in the county was sunk and
coal discovered about 1870, i've years after
the legislature had located the prison. The
| first purchase Of ground was forty acres,
upon which the prison stands. In 1850 the
prison shaft was sunk, and soon there
after a tract of 100 acres, one of $50 acres
and one of 16 acres, lying between the
original forty and the Missouri. were pur-
belonging to the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, and lying north of
| the prison. and something like 200 acres
lying west of dt were leased. making a
total of about 700 acres owned or controlled
by the state.
Not including the leased ground the
states land Is about mile and half long
(east and wesD, including a half mile be-
meath the river bed Ito the middle Of the
stream), and three-fourths of a mile wide
For the privilege of mining beneath the
leased ground the state pays royalty Of
2 mills bushel, or $40 an acre. The coal
lies 713 feet below the grass roots and the
stratum is twenty-three inches thick, rest
ing on a bed of fire clay and covered by a
stratum Of slate, and that capped by solid
limestone. All the coal beneath The original
forty acres. and half that beneath the Santa
Fe land, has been taken out.
o. 8. Pratt, who was prison director
tractor of the mine for four years, says it
Is the most valuable coal mining property
in Kansas, and that there is enough coal
beneath the area controlled by the state to
keep a force of $50 convicts employed daily
for fifty years. The annual output of the
mine is worth, at commercial prices, about
1000. OF the output the state institu-
lions consume about 100000 worth, and the
contractor takes the remainder, paying
62-5 cents a bushel. The daily output is
about 1000 bushels. An average of $50
men are employed on the ground daily, and
the face of the drift they cut on Is some
thing like half mile long. Owing to the
solid formation of the ground there has
never been an accident known 70 happen
in the drifts. Alleys are cut parallel about
100 feet apart, convicts working from
either side across the narrower way.
