HAS A BIG FAMILY.
John Chandler Is Father, GRANDPA
Their and Great-Grandfather
10 I62 Persons.

To be the head of a family of 162 per-
sons is a record seldom falling to the
lot of man. But such is the case with
John Chandler, who resides in Allen
county, KY, just over the Sumner coun-
~ line.
This gentleman is the father of 20
children, 81 of whom are now living and
have families. These 81 children have
an average of five children to each fam
lily, thus making Mr.. Chandler the
grandfather of los persons. But this is
not the full extent of his offspring, for
he has 35 great-grandchildren. So it
will be seen that Mr.. Chandler stands
paterfamilias of 162-an achievement
rarely equaled.
Mr.. Chandler is remarkable man in
several other respects. Although IS
years of age and residing in the hills of
Allen county, he reads current litera-
ture and keeps himself informed on
the leading topics of the day. He is an
expert rifle shot. and spends a great
deal of his time squirrel hunting.

only SO per cent. of all expenses.
Spain has only 1913 miles of railroad
in her whole territory, or little over
four miles to every 10000 inhabitants.
Only 10 years have elapsed since the

The smallest train ever built for the
conveyance of passengers is that made
by Thomas McGarigle, of Niagara Falls.
The locomotive weighs 600 pounds, has
cylinders two inches by four inches,
and driving-wheels ten inches in diam
eter. The top of the chimney is about
two feet above the rails. With a pres
sure of 125 pounds to the square inch.

In Arizona a railroad company is the
builder of a dam to form a reservoir for
water for the supply of the locomotives.
The dam is curious in being formed
partly of steel plates. A masonry foun-
dation runs across the bottom of the
gap, and masonry abutments are built
on each side. and the center and main
portion is steel frame faced with steel
plates. The plates are bent to give them
stiffness. The steel portion is 100 feet
long and 40 feet high, equal to the front
of block of low city houses. The
plates are three-eighths of an inch
thick.

PLANT PURCHASED BY THE ICE 6 COAL COMPANY
 THIS MORNING.
WILL MEET COMPETITION
When Completed Will Be One of the Largest Factories in the
 State.

So confident is the Arkansas Ice < Coal Company Of Pie Bluffs, progress and future that it closed one of the largest deals th.s morning ever known to be accomplished by one firm in Pine Bluff. They pur~ chased another complete set of ice making machinery from the Penn sylvania Iron Works Company, of Philadelphia, the actual cost of which is $50, GOO,
 The new plant is the seventh one sold this company by the Pennsyl- vania Iron W orks through their hus-- ting representative, Mr. Charles Dickerson. Five of these seven were sold for tbe Pine Bluff plant Tbe main object of this is to meet all competition.
 The new plant weighs 200, 00O pounds, or 100 tons. It contains 1000 300 pound cans and has da:ly capacity of so tons. The ice compa~ ny here, when the new plant is put in, will have daily capacity of 125 tons. The engines measure 22x42 and is equivalent to 25O horse pow CT. There IS 10 miles of pOa.e aes.. tached to the monster machinery The compression pumps measure 16a x36 feet. It has been found that in , order to use the latest improve ments they should be attached nnlys to large machinery, and it is fmpos. sible to use them with good effect on small plants,
 When tbe new property is put in the Pine Bluff ice plant will be the largest in Arkansas and one of the ) largest in the South. It will cover , the whole half Of the block whepa it, is now situated aud necessitaoes the removal of the company's stables and it's extensive coal yard, which : will be removed to West Third ave- nue east of the gas works, where the Ice x Coal Company is erecting large bin and stable.
 The Ice & Coal Com paDy deserve much praise for their enterprise and the interest they are taking Pine Bluff welfare.

EX-GOV.PATTISON SAYS THE FlLIPlNOS SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED IF IT
 TAKES 2oo,o 900 MEN.
END THE WAR QUICKLY.
Is the Demand of the People of the COuntry-Talks of the 1900
 Fight.

Atlanta, Ga June 29.-ExGov. Robert E. Pattison, of Pennsylya nia, who is in the South on busl- ness trip, is at the Aragon. Asked about the war in the Philippines, Coy. PattisoL said "The Filipinos should be promptly suppressed if it takes 100, ,OO0 ol 200, 900 men to do it.
 The thing to do is toend the war there and to restore order at once. This is the demand, l tkink, of the people of this country It is decid- edly the sentiment up my way. There should be no bY-play for po- litical purposes; all irresolution on the part of the present administra- tion should be thrown aside and the war quickly brought to close.
 "The Filipinos should be allowed to show what there is in them. If they prove capable of governing themselves they should be permit ted to do so. The war ended prompt ly, the islands might be gracefully territorialized. Their representa- tives could be given voice, but not vote, in this government and in time, it may be thirty or fifty years, the Philippines might reach the stage of Statehood.
 What will be the issue in 1900?" was asked.
 1t is hard to say, but indications now polnt to the results of the Spanish-A A merican war as the issue. Of course this includes the roDicy now being pursued in the Philip pines
 1 "Unless things are brought to a head iu these islands soon-lf this fddling with them is kept up-then that will be the burning issue ab- sorbing all others next year. ] be- lieYe that toe present administra ton will have shown it's mobility to grapple with the question. There can be no receding from our posi- tion in the Philippines. To relin quish the fight now would mean a new treaty with Spain, loss of the $20, GOO, 900 paid for the islands and tend to involve this government in serious complications with other nations. We cannot go backward and if the present administration does not promptly bring matters to a close in the Philippines 1 believe the reople of this country will put an administration at the helm that will do so.
 What about the trusts2'
 "An antitrust plank will, of course. b. put in the platform, but as with rebates and sbecial rates of the railroads it is very difficult to Ilegislate effectively on trusts--al- most impossible to reach aud control them.
 1T think this, however: The trusts by their own extremeuess, if l may use the expression, will defeat their y-ry objects. They are sure, in my 
 opinion, to overreach themselves aud fail Of their purpose.
