CHINESE COAL ON THE COAST.
In Promises to BE an Important Factor In
the Market.

the Market.
SAN Francisco, ScTt. China has
thrown the gauntlet to the big coal
miners of the United States. The
American bark Colorado. which has
just arrived in port, brought a mixed
sample cargo Of anthracite and a
ufactured coal, mined and made IN the
Tonquin district. 1t was consigned to
a coal dealing firm of this city, which
promises to push the Chinese fuel on
the coast market at prices greatly be-
low those at which Pennsylvania and
Welsh Goals of the same character are
now bringing. Examining experts
have pronounced the Tonquin coal beds
almost inexhaustible. The Chinese ar
ticle is in the market to stay, it is said,
at least as long as the present tariff con-
ditions exist. Tonquin, since the Tom
quin war, has been under the control Of
the French, and it is French capital
that is now developing the mines, but
the land is still populated by Chinese as
before, and it is the cheap Chinese labor
that is employed in the mines hence
the extremely low cost of production
which enables the French owners Of
Tonquin mines to undersell the coal
producers of other countries, where
labor is better paid. The coal from the
Orient is said to be of the finest quality,
fully equal to the best Pennsylvania or
Welsh coal.

"About the worst thing parents
can do is to discuss the failings of
children before them, says writer
in the Washington Star. "The
next worst thing is for one parent
to punish and the other to protest
against it. Either action will dam
age the respect of the child for one
or the other of its parents, and if
there is one thing more than an
other that parents want to pre-
serve, it is their dignity before their
children. A child who gets the idea
that one parent is at variance with
the other on the question of disci-
pline will make both unhappy and
render itself decidedly objectiona-
BILE by playing off one parent
against the other. If you want to
have any harmony in the family,
get together on the question of
disciplining children, at least, in
their presence, and ii you want to
quarrel on methods, do it in the
privacy of your own apartment,
where you can have it out without
lowering yourselves in the eyes of
the children"

Business Trip to Frostville and New
LeWisYille-Notes BY the Way.

Yesterday the editor made a
business trip over the Cotton Belt
Ry., to Frostville and New Lewis
vile, and will give a short account
of the same.
At Frostvllle, (named in honor of
our worthy fellow citizen E, W.
Frost), we met quite number of
old friends, and enjoyed a look
through the large lumber manu-
featuring enterprise, the Red River
Lumber Co., which was removed
from near New Lewisville a little
over a year ago 1t is under the
management of Mr., e. A. Frost,
one of the lumber firm; although a
young man, he is a hustler like his
father. Mr.. Noah p. Sanderson,
another member of the firm, has
charge of the store, and carries a
varied stock and large-$lO,0O0 at
least; he, too, is enterprising, and
ever clever-a brother of our next
Circuit Clerk. Mr.. Frost Jr. showed
us through the saw and planer,
etc, aud we were surprised to note
the many improvements for turn
ing out the finished product, The
mill has a capacity of $4,000 feet
per day, and the lumber is of extra
quality, as the timber is large with
few knots. A standard guage rail
road brings in the timber, and de
livers it from the car direct to the
sawyer; there is a sufficiency of
timber to last ten years or longer,
Tive large new dry kilus, by steam
pipe process without danger of fire,
dry the lumber as fast as it is
sawed; we never saw better ar
ranged or safer dry kins, Mr. T,
M. Dean is foreman of the planer
and Mr.. A, b, McNutt has charge
Of the saw mill; Dr. Robertson is
the company physician and post
master The town has a popula.
tion of about 800 people, made up
principally of employees of the mills
lit requires l5O men to keep the
mills going. 1t has two churches, a
school and Masonic lodge, Resi-
dences, built by the company are
the ueatest and best we ever saw,
around a mill. We certainly en-
joyed our short visit there, and
hope to 90 again some time.

went up to New Lewisville about
