LAST YEARS COAL OUTPUT.

Statistics of Statistician Parker of
the Geological Survey.
= The compilation of the statistics of coal
production in the United States In 1876.
which has Just bsen completed by Statis-
tician E.. w. Parker of the United States
geological survey. shows that the product
in 1898 was t9O, ,G39 800 short tons. valued
at Sf95. 557. $40, against 1893, 117,a30 short
tons. valued at $137, 799. .o43, In 1895, de-
crease of 2,477,571 short ions in amount and
Of s2.241 394 in value.
The decrease in product was entirely in
that of Pennsylvania anthracite. The out
put of bituminous coal shows an increase
of about one and three-quarters million
tens. The anthracite product of Pennsyl-
vania decreased nearly four and a quarter
million tons. 1t Is notable feature, how
ever, that there was a decrease in the
value of, the bituminous product of over
81 .6OO,OO0, Notwithstanding the increased
output. and that there was a comparative
increase in the value of anthracite, al
though, on account of the smaller produc-
ton, it did not equal the value in 1885,
The average price obtained for anthracite
at the mines increased from $1.41. in 1895,
to S151, in 1896. The average price for
bituminous declined from st cents to 81
cents.

tive operations for relaying and raising
the sea wall ON the Washington channel

During the past month 10 linear feet OF

feet above the same datum. and $50 feet in
addition laid to the full height, making
the total length of wall completed on this
front May 81 1897 1.350 linear feet.
The clearing of brush. ditching and gen.
eral maintenance of the work on the re-
claimed area was continued during the
past month with a small force of men. The
wreck of coal barge, which sank off Lib
tey's wharf in Georgetown harbor. Sep

MIR. pErr1GREw,s AMENDMENT.
His Anti-Trust DecIa ration to Follow
the Sugar Schedule.

His Antitrust DecIa ration to Follow
the Sugar Schedule.
1t is Senator Pettigrews intention to Of
fer his antitrust amendment to the tariff
bill at the end of the sugar schedule. and
the manner OF its acceptance is beginning
to be matter of speculation among SEN
atcrs. There was some talk yesterday OF
the necessity for a republican caucus to
decide the position that party in the Sem
ate should take upon the proposition, which
grew out of well founded reports that some
republican senators had announced their
intention to vote for the amendment when
PRESENTED in the Senate. 1t is not yet GER
tain that a caucus will not be held upon
this subject. and ii is broadly limited that
even in case caucus is held and the de-
cision of a majority IS against the amend
rnent there may still be some republican
votes for 1t.
Senator Chandler OF New Hampshire was
represented to be among those who had
said they would oppose the provision by
their votes in opposition to the mandate
Of the caucus, but when asked to state his
position the New Hampshire senator said
that his attitude would be controlled by
the course which might be taken with
reference to the railway rates pooling bill.
If that bill, he said. was to be reported by
the interstate commerce committee regard
Il IS of the inaction of the House, and mere
ly for the purpose of committing the Sen
ate in that case he would favor an anti
trust amendment to the tariff bill; other
wise he would be controlled in the matter
by the sentiment of his party.
There are a few other republican sena-
tors, however, who are recognized as being
more or less in doubt as to the position
they should take on final vote, and who
row express themselves as inclined to
follow personal inclinations for the amend
ment regardless of party action. The gen.
era1 opinion is that in case caucus is held
the verdict would be against the amend
ment as presenting different subject for
legislation and one which should be dealt
with on it's own merits and separate from
the tariff.

CHIEF MUNCE RESIGNS.
Probable End of the Sensational
Stamp Case.


Stamp Case.
T. Q. Munce. chief of the stamp division
of the Post Office Department. has rendered
his resignation, which has been accepted.
This probably ends the recent sensational
stamp case which caused an investigation
of Mr.. Munces office The case attracted
considerable attention at the time. The
post office authorities discovered that an
immense quantity Of newspaper and period
ical stamps were in the hands Of dealers
and advertised for sale. An investigation
was quietly set afoot and it was learned
that the stamps had been procured from a
man named Colman, clerk in the Interior
Department. When arrested, he claimed
that he secured the stamps from Muuce.
The pest Office officials have been invesri-
eating the whole matter, and on the
strength of the report in the case called
for Munce's resignation. The matter will
be dropped and no prosecution made.

Major A. Il. Woodson, agent of the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians of Ok
lahoma. says that the reign of the med
icine men is me Of the greatest outrages
of the present day, and as a direct re-
suit Of their pernicious practice one-third
Of the children born of Indian parents
die every year.
Two Of Black Coyotes children were
taken sick, and, instead Of taking them
to the government hospital, he sent for
the medicine man, who blew a green
powder into the lungs. ears and the
nostrils of one Of the little patients.
That medicine failing, the medicine
man made an incision with his knife
under the tongue of the child, with the
result that death soon followed. When
the green powder failed to restore the
child to health, the medicine man de-
clared that there was a ghost under the
child's tongue, and it was to kill the
ghost that he made the incision.
The medicine man then adopted he
roic measures in order to save the other
child. He took it into a tent, stripped
it naked and laid it on u cot. He then
heated a big pile of rocks in the tent
and when they were hot he threw water
on them, filling the tent with steam
and causing the child to sweat copious-
ly. When the child was covered with
perspiration, he took it out in the cold
air and sent it home without having
taken any %precaution to keep it from
getting cold. Next morning the child
was dead. This is only IL of the hun
dreds of such outrages against the health
and life Of innocent people. The big
medicine man of the C%heyennes is Little
Man. who lives near Cantonement. He
makes his medicines every year and dis
tributes them to the other medicine
men. Boston Transcript.

Walking to Health.

When there is no organic weakness
which is aggravated by the exertion, it
is the easiest and p~leasantest thing tc
walk right into health. OF course. there
is no virtue in a dawdling walk. The
slow and languid dragging of one foot
after the other, which some people call
walking. would tire an athlete; it ut
terly exbausts a weak person, and that
is the reason why many delicate people
think they cannot walk. To derive any
benefit from the exercise it is necessary
to walk with a light, elastic step, which
swings the weight of the body so easily
from one leg to the other that its weight
is not felt. and which produces a healthy
glow, showing that the sluggish blood
is stirred to action in the most remote
veins. This sort of walking exhilarates
the whole body, gives tone to the nerves
and produces just that sort of healthful
fatigue which encourages sound, restful
sleep. Buffalo Express.

The Esk imo's Kayak.

Some queer craft are described by
Gustav Kobbe i'll st. Nicholas, and he
says of the native Greenlander's boat:
While tho tropical and semitropical
sailor clings to his lateen rig, the ex-
treme northern race, the Eskimo, clings
perforce to his kayak and paddle. The
kayak suggests our racing she'll, but
without the sliding seat, and so covered
over that only a hole remains to admit
the body. Even if the Eskimo of the
extreme moth wished to adopt a sail,
he could not do 81 for lack of wood for
the mast. The light frame of his kayak
is made of bone skillfully thonged with
seal leather, and the skin of the seal is
generally used for the covering. | have
seen the Eskimos of Labrador i'll theiI
kayaks, and it is wonderful with what
a quick, nervous quiver these light craft
respond to the slightest touch of the
paddle. Within easy reach are the har-
poons, guns and bladder floats of these
daring sea hunters, who, in their frail
looking kayaks, with icebergs towering
almost in their course, and the white
glare of the ice ''loom" in the ofing,
brave dangers compared with which
those encountered by the navigators OF
the flying proas, dahabeahs and mu-
letas are trifing. The Eskimos furnish
the extreme instance Of that logged
courage of the northern races which,
united with intellectual energy, has
enabled those more favored in their sur
roundings than these jewellers on arctic
shores TO develop into the great people
of the earth.
