ENDURANCE NEEDED.
Emort TO BE Made to Exact Greater
Physical Capacity from En-
listed Men I'm Navy.

An effort will be made to exact
greater physical capacity from en-
listed men of the engineer branch
OF the navy. The naval surgeons
urge this in order to preserve the
strength and ability OF the men
who work in the furnace-rooms
and fre-rooms of ships of war. Sur
geon NJ. II. Simons, who has been at
tached to the Iowa, in a report to the
navy department. says: "Some exam
iners apparently think il is sufficient for
recruit for the engineers force to have
sound physique, but man may have
muscle enough to lift 11O pounds, the
weight Of bucket of coal, easily, and
ran utterly when he is obliged to do
this frequently for four hours consecu-
lively in hot atmosphere. A recruit
should be strongly built and have not
less than SO inches chest measure at
rest. During the war a number of in
ferior men were sent to this shin. An
engineer apprentice system should be
organized. Green men are often useless
from fright; the vast machinery, the
great heat and the sitting air of the
coal bunkers put them into a semi-hys-
ter1cal condition which makes them ut
terly useless and possibly dangerous.
Several such cases came under observa-
tion during the last year. When fight
ing machine goes into action every man
and part should be in condition TO do
the best possible work."

HIGH PRICED HOLE.
How an Iowa Man Was Neatly
victimized of $4,000.
Led to Believe There Was Coal on
His LREd--sInks Shaft, But
Fails to Find Any Black
Diamonds,

A hole five feet wide, ten feet long
and 1870 feet deep is all Henry Rede, OF
Albany, has for the expenditure OF
$4,000 in cash and several weeks time
Mr.. Rede has been the central figure
OF various stories of u coal find near
Albany, village five miles down the
river from Clinton, Ia, and over on the
Illinois side. The story he tells indicates
that he has been badly victimized. He
says that few months ago a man
came to his place claiming to be a
geologist and naturalist. He was
much interested in the hundreds OF
mounds found on the bluffs below Al
bany, and said he had opened num-
ber and that in several of them he
had found evidences of coal which had
been carried along with the dirt when
the Indians, or whoever they were,
made the mounds in the bygone ages.
After talking dislnterestedly with
Mr.. Rede he volunteered the informa-
tion that a certain tract of land on
Mr.. Rede's farm was underlaid with
coal, and stated further that several
acres belonging to a neighbor were Of
the same character. Mr.. Rede con-
cluded to enjoy a monopoly of the
coal business, so he bought his neigh
boris land. He then engaged n man
to do the drilling, who happened
along about that time and solicited
the work. A contract was made by
which Mr.. Rede agreed to pay so cents
n foot for the drilling and rs cents a
foot extra if coal in paying quantities
was found. At depth of l27 feet the
driller said coal was in evidence, and
while Mr.. Rede was present the drill
was sunk apparently through over
three feet of fine quality of coal.
Everything seeming to be satisfac-
tory, Mr.. Rede paid the man SIPS per
foot for drilling. He then concluded
to sink a shaft and engaged help for
that purpose. The shaft, five feet
wide and ten feet long, was sunk to a
depth Of 130 feet, but no trace of coal
was found. At the place where the
drill had stopped there was nothing
TO indicate how the coal had been pro-
cured, but Mr.. Rede is convinced that
it was turned into the hole from the
top and brought out by means of the
drill.
MIR. Rede has no idea who the al
legged geologist is. That he was in
some way connected with the affair
seems probable.

Dom Paul a Pennsylvania
Dutchman.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec 22.-Alfred
and David A. Haywood and Mrs. Har-
ry Rooney, sister, of this city, are
relatives it is said, Of Com Paul, who
is making so much trouble for Johnny
Bull. Their mother, Mrs. Joseph Hay
wood, of Wapanoeta, Ohio, who died in
1892, was a sister of President Kruger,
it is claimed N. E. Haywood and
Mrs. Mary Arthur, of Wapanoeta, are
also children of Mrs. Haywood, and so
was the late Mrs. Charles Rooney, of
this city.
Com Paul, according to the story,
was born near Rocksborough, Penn,
and when 12 years of age, as has been
stated, he left home because of a
whipping given him by his father and
shipped at Philadelphia for a voyage
abroad. According to the traditions
of the Haywood family he was finally
promoted, and he found a wife in Ger
many, who was related to the late
General August Willlch, who gained re-
nown in the late Civil War and was
buried at st. Marys, Ohio.
The HaywOods living here frequent
ly, while at home heard the story of
Kruger's iight, and they have no
doubt of their relationship
