A TUMBLE IN THE COKE OUTPUT.

The Decrense Attributable to the
Advance in Price.
Uniontown, Pa, April 1.-THE bottom
fell out Of the coke trade the past week,
and both the production and output took
a tumble. The decrease is directly attri-
butable to the advance in the price. There
is enough stock coke to run FIVE or six
weeks, and it is probable the production
and shipments will last until all this stock
coke is used up, which win not be before
the middle Of May. Only thirty-nine of
the eighty plants in the region were in
days, and six ran four days Reports in
dicate that nearly every plant VIII be re-
duced to five days this week, with a cor
resnonding decrease in production.

MRS. KINGS EMPIRE.
A Woman Who Owns Over a Mil
lion Acres Of Land.
The state of Rhode Island Could BE His-
den Away Within Her Domains
How She Came in Possession
of the Property.

Think of it, a million and a quarter
acres of land owned by one woman.
All in one body and under fence. Reach
ing into three counties in southern
Texas, and pastured by one hundred
and fifty thousand head of cattle,
horses and sheep.
An empire in which the state OF
Ri ode Island could be put and there
would still be nearly half a million
acres outside the state line Eighteen
hundred and sevcnty-tive square miles
of absolute domain, in which one
woman's will is law. This seems in
credible, but such are the realty hold
ings in farm lands alone of Mrs. Rich
ard King, of Corpus Christi, Tex.
The southern point of Texas is q
country of great pastures. In Nueces
county alone there are fifteen persons
who own over one hundred thousand
acres Of land each, some of these indi-
vidual estates amounting to over half a
million acres, and are reckoned by the
square miles How and by whom were
they acquired? BY men who came to
Texas in the 'ffties and sixties. Men
who were willing to risk death or shat
tered health for the sake of adventure
and for gain.
Capt Richard King, who died in 1855,
leaving to his widow, Henrietta NJ.
King, his vast possessions in land and
personal property, was a good specimen
of type that conditions of to-day do
not produce. He was born in 1925 in
New York state, and when ten years
old ran away to sea. In 1S47 he ap-
pcared on the Rio Grande as pilot,
later as a bOat-owner, and in 1852 he
bought what was known as the Santa
Gertrudes ranch, a vast possession IN
itself. BY determined and aggressive
policy, combined with daring specula-
tjons, he added rapidly to this until he
died After his death it was found that
he owned about one million two hun
dred thousand acres of land under
fence, on which ranged eighty thou
sand head of cattle, twenty thousand
horses and twenty thousand sheep. His
estate also included large amount of

TRICKS OF SMUGGLERS.
Queer Devices Employed to Sc
crete Valuable Articles
Bible Filled with Expensive Watches
Cigars Packed In Loaf of
Bread, and Corsets Filled
with Central band Goods.

The devices which smugglers have re-
sorted to in order to pass the custom
house inspectors are quite as ingenious
as those of criminals seeking to escape
jail, says the New York World. Me-
chanical appliances of all kinds have
been invented in which TO conceal con-
traband articles.
One of the most remarkabl Of these
is a Bible followed out inside so that a
concealed among the leaves. This was
carried under the arm by a solemn-vis-
aged and reverend-looking gentleman
with white whiskers.
He took passage on a channel steamer
for England, and was noted among his
fellow passengers for the care and at
tachment he displayed toward the holy
book. The man turned out to be no
torious smuggler, who in small way
had for years been defrauding the rev.
enue by bringing in articles supposed
to pay duty.
Several loaves of bread followed out
inside so as to contain cigars have also
lately been seized, and from the same
gang of smugglers was taken a concer-
tina filed with choice Havana cigars,
upon which high duty would have
had to be paid if brought in in the or
binary way. These fellows had the i'm
pudence to assert that they were free
traders and were only putting into
practical effect the theories of the Cob
den club, of which Mr.. Gladstone is an
honorary member.
Another equally bold attempt to pass
the customs inspectors was made by

handsome woman who expressed
great Indignation when it was proposed
to search her person. She said that she
had been insulted, but the officials had
reason to suspect her.
When her corset was taken off it was
found to contain numerous pockets
filled with contraband goods. This ar
tiele of attire now reposes in curious
little collection of smugglers' devices
which is being constantly added to.
One of these appliances, which is be-
lieved to have done much duty in the
hands of smugglers, is a can with nu-
merous rings, made to tow overheard
from the stern of a steamer. 1t was

surprised to find them considerably
smaller than himself
The condor belongs to the vulture
family Although its size has been fire.
quently exaggerated by travellers, it
undoubtedly attains a great size. The
ordinary eXpanse of the wings in full
grown bird is said to be about nine feet,
and the height four feet, but the wing
measurement is some times as great as
fourteen feet.
The wings are long in proportion to
the body and extremely powerful. The
tail is short and wcdge-shapcd The
general color is black and is brightest
in the males. Around the lower part
of the neck there is 4 broad white ruff
he of downy feathers. Above this the
head is bare and of a raw appearance.
The male has a large cartiIaginous
comb on his head and dilatablc wat
tie on his neck. The bcak is very
thick and strong and the upper mandi-
BILE Is sharply curved at the end. The
condor could probably kill an unarmod
man if inclined to do 50.
The condor feeds by preference on
carrion. 1t is quite unpleasant to look
upon and disagreeable ncighbor. on
account of its appearance. its personal
uncleanliness and its habits in gen
eral.
It is an enormous feeder. The nat
uralist Tschudi mentions the case Of
one which ate eighteen pounds in one
day and the next day appeared to have
as big an appetite as if it had not eaten
for weeks. Condors often eat 50 heavily
that they cannot fly, and then if at
tackled they disgorge their food in or
der to be able to get away
Their usual dwelling place is at a
height of 10000 or $1,000 feet above the
sea, in the Andes mountains They
make no nests, laying their eggs On the
bare rocks.
They usually live in little companies.
Together they descend to the plains
for food and then return to theirmJuu-
tain strongholds.
The condor is said to soar to a height
Of six miles above the level Of the sea,
or six times the ordinary height of the
clouds. This is a highe flight than
that of any other bird.

a Bird That Can Eat Eighteen Pounds 81
Meat in Day.
The condor Of the Andes is the larg-
est of known flying birds and is the
subject of many interesting stories.
The London Geological gardens have
recently acquired two new condors,
which are probably the rarest and most
valuable birds possessed by that
great institution. An illustration Of
one of these two birds, taken from the
London Sketch, is printed here.
An artist who went to inspect the
new condors found them sitting discon-
solately on the stump of q tree, and
was somewhat disappointed at their
appearance Having read that these
birds occasionally measured eighteen
feet from wing to wing, be was

water-tight and contained a large
quantity of cigars when captured.
An oil can with a chamber to contain
brandy was also taken from one of the
engineers of an incoming steamer.
Perhaps one of the boldest of the de-
vices was boguslog of wood, or rather
log which had been followed out and
was found kicking about harmlessly on
the deck Of steamer. 1t was closely
packed with cigars.
Imitation Jumps Of coal have also
been made for this purpose, and these,
painted black, have been almost impos-
sible of detection. 1t was a good joke
on the smugglers, however, when one
OF these got lost in load of coal, and
the fine cigars which it contained ulti-
mately went up in smoke through the
furnace of the steamer.

other possessions in the shape Of money
and other personal and real property.
This all went TO the widow, a daugh-
ter Of the late Rev Hiram Chamber
lain, who established the first Presby-
terrain churc' on the Rio Grande, and
under her Jreful management the
property has increased in value.
Mrs. King is sixty years Of age, a
lady of kindly instincts and admira BILE
characteristics that have made her
greatly beloved by the community.
She lives very plainly, and does not
spend a tithc Of her income.
The division Of these pastures will be
OF great benefit to the country, but it
will destroy the entity of so remarkable
n property as exists in the United
States to-day The land alone isworth
fully five million dollars as it is. 1t
will be worth untold millions when IT
is devoted to viniculture, possibility
of the near future. for which it is bet.
ter suited than it is for the purpose OF
raising "scalawags". or long-horned
steers.
It is only within the past five years,
says a writer in Lcslie's Weekly,
that any of the owners Of these great
tracts of land would part with a cor
ncr of their possessions. Now many
realize that they must give way to the
inevitable, and some sharper than the
rest are pushing colonization Schemes

DIR. c. A. Lindsey, secretary Of the
state board of health, received official
notice late yesterday afternoon from
Health Officer j. c. Barker of New
Milford, announcing that bad small
pox case had been discovered i1s that
town. The patient is a girl whose par
ents only immigrated to this city from
Europe a couple Of weeks ago. The
parents refused to have any of the local
doctors see the child until the ninth
day, and it was then discovered by the
health officer that it was a case Of
continent smallpox in the eighth day of
eruption.
The case has been removed to an iso-
lated house on the hill. Everyone who
has been exposed to the dreaded dis
ease, has been vaccinated and the fam
lily are all quarantined.
The residents of New Milford are es-
pecially exercised over the case as the
town has only recently recovered from
an epidemic of typhoid fever.
DR. Lindsey has sent to DR.. Barker
instructions, and all that is possible
has been done to avoid the spread of
the disease.
DR.. Barker was formerly a resident
of this city, and his father was proprie-
tor of the City hotel here for years.

WoN BY LARNED.
There Was Hard Struggle for the Tennis
Championship.

Southampton, L. l., Aug, 2,-The
championship match in the Southamp-
ton tennis tournament was played here
this morning before a large gathering
of spectators. John Howland of New
York, the challenger, was drawn against
w. A. Larned, tho holder of the South
ampton cup. The match was a long
drawn out struggle Of four sets.
1t was finally won by Larned by
score of Sc. 6-3, 81, 1913. This is Lar
ned's third consecutive victory in the
Southampton tournaments, and it gives
him the handsome trophy cup to keep.
Howland was badly off during the
opening play. Later, however he
picked up somewhat, and in the third
set he turned Larned down, after the
latter had taken four straight games.
The last set was a fight for every
point. The total number of points
gives Larned 191 to Howland's 174. In
the afternoon the final match in the
doubles was played between Rowland
and Foote and Larned and Talmadge.
1t developed only ordinary tennis, al
though Foote did some unusually heavy
hitting and Talmadge proved somewhat
of surprise by the way he volleyed at
the net. The match went to Howland
and Foote In three easy sets, Ga, GA, GA.
