CAN AFFORD TO HAVE A COW
An Anecd0te of Mother Mckinley's
Visit to the White House.

"Just after President Mckinley's in
auguration he had his relatives who were
in the city at family dinner at the
White House." says the July Ladies'
Home Journal in an illustrated anec-
dotal biography of the president. ut was
a large company and a very good dinner.
Dear old Mother Mckinley was there,
but she was not very talkative. She was
too happy for words. But she kept a
sharp eye on the dinner, and no detail of
it escaped her. She was impressed by
the quantity of cream served with the
fruit and coffee, for she looked up at her
son in her sweet way and said:
William, you must keep COW now
"Some of the younger members of the
family party found it difficult to suppress
smile, but the president, with his usual
tact and graciousness, replied:
"'Yes, mother, We can afford to have a
COW now, and have all the cream We car
possibly use.'"

West Virginia coal is the best in the
world for naval purposes. Teats by the
United States have recently proved that
better results can be obtained from the
West Virginia product than that of eth
er Pennsylvania or Ohio, and the Davis
Coal & Coke Co, of Tucker county, have
just now received contracts for furnishing
fuel to the navy which places it first
among coal companies supplying the gov
eminent. A number of British vessels,
also, are heavy consumers of the product
of the West Virginia company. The last
U. S. navy contract calls for 35 600 tons
of black diamonds Thrce-fourlhs of it
has already been shipped to Tortugas, an
island fifty miles west of Key West, where
it is discharged ON the warships anchored
there and in need of that commodity.

When asked their views on the Maine
disaster, the West Virginia Senators said {:
Senator Faulkner: II have SO far re
fused to be intervied on the subject of the
Maine disaster. am unwilling to give
an opinion on a subject touching which
have such indefinite information. /
have entire confidence in the board of
naval officers appointed TO investigate
this great calamity, and whatever may be
my opinion on this subject, with the lin
tied information now in my possession,
will yield at once to the verdict of that
board. can assure you that Congress,
in my opinion, will uphold and sustain
the President in any action he may take
to maintain the honor and dignity of this
nation in this or any other matter. The
conduct of the officers and men on the
Maine has shown them to be possessed oil
those high qualities that made our earlier
navy so conspicuous
Senator Elkins said: 81 beg to state
that am ready to follow and stand by
the President in any course he may pur-
sue toward Spain, growing out OF the
blowing up of the Maine ana out of the
Cuban situation. so far as the facts are
disclosed, do not think there is any
ground for war. War could only come
about on our being satisfied that Spain
was a party to the blowing up of the
Maine, which do not believe. fully
believe the Government of Spain will be
willing to do whatever ia right in the
premises by way of apology and indem-
uity touching this disaster. if any re-
sponsibility should attach under interim
tional law or otherwise"
