EOKLEY B. COKE.
Death Of the Leading Coal Operator in
the United States.

Hon. Eckley B. Coke died at Io:a5
o'clock Monday morning at his home
in Drfton.
Eckley B. Coke was borne in Phila
delphia, June a, 1880, but tor many
years had made his home in Drifton,
near his extensive coal mines. He
graduated at the University Of Penn
sylvania, in 1858 and afterward COM
pleted scientific course of study in
Europe. Upon his return he began,
with his brothers, the business of
mining anthracite coal in the Lehigh
region, upon property belonging to his
family and inherited from his grand
father, Tench Coke. Mr.. Coke was
well-known throughout this country
for his practical and scientific know
ledge of mining.
He was an ardent Democrat and
in 1880 was elected to the State SEN
ate of Pennsylvania from the twenty
sixth senatorial district. He did not
take his seat, however, because he de-
cllned to take the oath Of Office. His
reasons for refusing to take the oath,
as expressed in lengthy letter to his
constituents, were that he could not
swear that he had not contributed
money to procure his election. In
the letter Mr.. Coke said; Although
| used money for expenses not ex-
pressly authorized by law, yet not one
cent was spent with my knowledge or
consent for any improper or fraudu
lent purpose"
His constituents accepted the ex,
plantations in the same spirit as that
in which they were given and in 1881,
the senatorial seat being vacant, he
was re elected to the seat by ma
iority of over three times as large as
that which he had received the previ
Gus year. He served the full term
In 1882 Mr.. Coxe's name was present
ed to the Democratic gubernatoria
convention, but after few ballots he
threw his support to Mr.. Pattison. Ir
1884 he was chairman of the Pennsyl
vania delegation to the Democratic
National Convention at Chicago tha
nominated Mr.. Cleveland.
He was the largest individual Goa
operator in the United States. Ih'
value of the coal lands belonging tc
the Coke family has been placed a
$40, 700, 900. Mr.. Coke leaves ;
widow but no children.

FORESTRY AT ATLANTA.
viii BE Typical Of the Splendid Timber
interests Of the Southern States.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The forestry
exhibit at the Atlanta exposition prom
iseS to be the most complete and in
structive ever made by the govern
ment, exceeding in excellence. though
not in size, the exhibit at Chicago in
1893. The exhibits are now being
shipped, and the work of installation
will proceed as rapidly as they arrive
at Atlanta. 1t Is the aim of DR.. B. f.
FernOw, chief of the department of
forestry, to make the exhibit typical of
the splendid timber interests of the
southern states.
1t is DR.. Fernow's intention to re-
move the exhibit as far as possible
from commercial aspects, with the in
tention of presenting an educational
display. The wide range in the use of
wood in all phases Of human life will
be shown. Large panels are already
hung on the pillars of the building,
each representing one particular line
Of use; as for instance, wood in the
kitchen. wood inothe laundry, in sports,
in the garden. in tools. etc.
The lumber exhibit will be so COM
plete that any one maytrace the growth
Of the tree through various stages,
learn its adaptabilty to various COM
mercial uses. its value, durability. COM
parative worth for specials uses, etc.
In this exhibit, which includes a COM
plete statistical history of southern
forestry interests. DR.. Fernow has been
ably seconded by the lumbermen of the
south, so that a most complete exhibit
of this nature will be made The dis
play of the United States division of
forestry is rounded out and made COM
plete by a small but comprehensive ex-
hibit of the naval-store industry. in
which new and old methods Of turpen-
tine orcharding are Illustrated.
