RECEIVER WILSON'S LETTER.
Explains Why the Santa Fe Can Not Us
More Scranton Coal.


More Scranton Coal.
The letter from Receiver J. G. Wilson
of the Santa Fe to Governor Morrill, ex-
planning why the Santa Fe can't use
more Scranton coal is as follows:
Hon. E. N. Morrill,, Governor:
DEAR SIR:-I have your favor of the
18th inst in reference to relief of desti-
tute miners at Scranton owing to lack of
work at the mines.
find that it will.be impracticable for the
receivers to either increase the use of
coal from those mines or to lower the
rate on coal.
The amount of coal we are now using
from the Scranton mines is quite large
and the rates are as low as it is possible
to make them.
This coal costs US a good deal more
than either Frontenac or Trinidad, and
does not give as good satisfaction, but we
are now using it on engines running be-
tween Kansas City and Nickerson, which
consumes about 5000 tons per month.
l wish to explain that it would not be
practicable to extend the use of Scranton
coal to other parts of the line for the rea-
son that an engine which has been using
FrOntenac, Trinidad or other coal would
have to be repaired or altered before
Scranton could be used upon it; that is,
different classes of Goals require differ
ent adjustment of engines, and, besides,
a fireman who has been using other Goals
would not for some time be able to get as
good results from Scranton coal.
Trinidad coal costs US 80 per cent less
than Scranton coal, and will do nearly so
per cent more work.
Under these circumstances do not see
how it will be possible for us to afford
any reIlet IN the way you suggest
Yours truly,

MEN FOLKS GOING AWAY.

Usage County Miners Now Leaving Home
to Look for Work.
Most of the unmarried men who have
been employed in the Usage county coal
fields at Scranton, Peterton and Usage
City have gone away to hunt work. There
are few left, however, and these few
are "batching" together.
One gang of five miners at Scranton
i've together in little cabin and they
think they have cut their expenses down
to minimum. 1t cost the five able bodied
miners with good appetites but $3.50 to
1--we during the two weeks ending Wed
nesday of this week.
This amounts to liz cents day for
each miner How men who work under
ground can live on less and keep up at
their work can hardly be imagined.

&c. Wilson's Letter.
The state officials are today at loss to
know what to do for the relief OF the
Scranton miners who are suffering for
the necessaries of life because they can't
get work.
The report of the railroad commits
sioners to the governor that they can hno

Usage county coal fields and the
Santa Fe officials having re-
ported through Receiver Wilson tnat
it will be impossible for them to use any
more Scranton coal, Governor MorrlA
and Labor Commissioner Bird DO not
know what steps to take except to raise
a temporary Felief fund.
Before leaving for Leavenworth Gov
ernor Morrill, said to a STATE JOURNAL
reporter that this state of affairs among
the miners had worried him more than
any thing that has happened during his
administration.
Labor Commissioner Bird will go to
Scranton again tomorrow to consult with
the miners and will then go to his home
ut Kansas City, where he proposes TO
start subscription to raise supplies for
the miners families.
The county commissioners of Usage
county have notified that they can do no
more for the miners unless the miners
will consent to go to the poor house,
which they know is out of the question
Governor Morrill, has given it as his
opinion that the county commissioners OF
Usage county ought to use every cent
of the poor fund of their county for this
year in relieving the distress Of the
miners.

Kingsley,s place In Literature.

Kingsley was striking example of
that which is so characteristic Of recent
English literature-its strong, practical,
social, ethical or theological bent. 1t is
in marked contrast with Fronch litera-
ture. Our writer's are always using
their literary gifts to preach, to teach,
to promulgate a new social or religious
movement, toreform somebody or some
thing, to illustrate a new doctrine.
From first to last Carlyle regarded him
self even more as preacher than as artist.
So does his follower, Mr. Rusl1in. Ma
caulay seemed to write history in order
to prove the Unreasonable superiority
of the Wing to the Tory, and Froude
and Freeman write history to enforce
their own moral. Disraeli's novels were
the programme Of party and the de-
Tense OF cause, and even Dickens and
Thackeray plant their knives deep into
the social abuse Of their time Charles
Kingsley was not professed novelist
nor protested man Of letters. He was
novelist, poet, essayist and historian al
IuOoU Wy ttCCLuCuU, VI WIFI ull6ElOE ulIlS.
Essentially he was moralist, preach
er, a socialist, a reformer and theo-
logan.
Without pretending that Kingsley is
great novelist, there are scenes, espe-
cially descriptive scenes in "Hypatia, "
in "Westward Ho!" which belong to
the very highest order of literary paint
ing and have hardly any superior in the
romanees of our era. No romances, ex-
cept Thackeray's, have the same glow
of style in such profusion and variety,
and Thackeray himself was no such poet
of natural beauty as Charles Kingsley
poet, be it remembered, who by sheer
force Of imagination could realize fol
us landscapes and climates of which he
himself had no sort Of experience. Even
Scott himself has hardly done this with
SO vivid a brush. Frederic Harrison

Two Trenchmen of Rheims have re
Gently completed an invention which
they claim will in a measure revolution
ize the present pneumatic tire. They
build their wheels by substituting an
outer pneumatic tube made of leather
for the rubber tubes now in use. Their
invention has been taken up by the min
istry of war, which is now perfecting
the idea with view to supply all the
military cycles with tires that will not
give out easily.
The resistance Of leather is consider
ably greater than that of rubber, and it
will better stand the pressure from
within and the exterior agents of de-
struction, such as nails, hoops, roots or
sharp pebbles. 1t is not absolutely i'm
perforable, but it is at least as good as
the fine steel band which was expert
mentally placed between the outer and
inner tubes, and which was pierced by
needles and tacks, Leather offers the
greatest impenetrability in relation to
its thickness without impairing the nee
esSdIy GldsJlCliy. IL IL IuIlheI improved
by preparation which renders it i'm
permeable to water. The leather tire is
easily repaired in case of perforation-
any cobbIer can sew it up-and this re-
pair is permanent and not likely to get
out Of order.
Other advantages claimed for the
leather tire are: Greater lightness, it
willno get out of shape as does rubber,
and it will not slip on asphalt pavement
or wet roads. The new material for the
tire seems to meet with great encourage
ment on the part Of the military author
