CHICAGO, June 1S.-A special to the
Record from McAdoO. Pa. says: The visit
of Thomas A. Edison to the coal mines
in this vicinity during the last two days
has been the subject of much speculation.
1t is definitely learned to-day that new
process for producing a marketable fuel
has engaged the inventors attention and
it will be launched not only to compete
with the product Of the Pennsylvania coal
fields. but with that of China which has
found ready sale on the Pacific Coast.

in Germany. and Hollis has probably
taken the liberty of pointing out the de-

perhaps that will be the lever that will
move him. At any rate, if the worst

bitration, as expressed in his interview
yesterday, the officials and diplomats
here find in his remarks the consolation
that Germany is not as bitterly op-
posed to arbitration as had been sup
posed.
A diplomat tonight pointed out that
Professor Stengers statement shows
that Germany is not opposed in princi-
pie to arbitration, and there is a dispo-
sition to believe he is trying to regain
position on the fence to fall on either
side as the Emperor may direct. 1t is
known that Mr.. Hollis, Secretary of the
American delegation. who is a German
American, has been zealouSly endeavor-
ing to break down the opposition of the
German delegates to International ar
bitration.
1t is believed in diplomatic circles
that the inclination of German Ameri-
cans in the United SLates toward ar
bitration will probably have great
weight with the emperor and may
cause him to determine. upon new in
structions to his delegates which will
be favorable to the adoption of some
scheme of arbitration by the con-
ference, perhaps that presented by EN-
bassadOr White and his associates.

they were endeavoring to make stew.
Daly's body was identified by his

The fact of the tent flaps being shut

clude the possibility of Daly's body

French Presidents.

Some discussion has arisen about the
literary tastes of Presidents of the re-
public writes the Paris correspondent
of the London Daily Telegraph and
the question is settled so far as NJ.
Loubet is concerned by the evidence of
NJ. de Heredia, the leading sonneteer of
France, who is a member of the Acad-
envy This authority states that when
he once went to see NJ. Loubet a the
Senate on the subject of the monument
to Leconte de Lisle, now in the Luxem
bourg Gardens. he was ushered into a
room crammed with books. This was
the study of the present head OF the
State who, in literary conversation
which ensued, showed the Academ clan
that he had read most of the volumes
piled around, and that his tasGes were
decidedly in the direction of letters
Being a lawyer, however, NJ. Loubet
judiciously mingles his legal and purely
literary reading, and is able to pass
with pleasure and profit from the
perusal of treatises on international law
or no politics to the prose of NJ. Ana tore
France or to the poetry of NJ. de Her
edia himself. At the present time
however, the President of the republic
must frequently adjourn his legal or
literary reading in order to devote him
self to a study of the Parliamentary
debates, the progress of the Dreyfus
case and the voluminous newspaper BIZ
ographies of himself, some of which
go back to the distant days when he
was a. struggling law student in the
Latin Quarter.
1t appears that his predecessor at the
Elysee had also a taste fer reading, but
was not in favor of the purely literary
sort of Intellectual pabulum He chiefly
perused works of travel or volumes
dealing with the colonies, with COM
mercial questions and also with the
campaign of 1S7O-71 in which he had
taken part. His favorite travel authors
We're the explorers, Mr.. Stanley and
Prince Henri d'Orleans, while NJ de
Lanessan appealed to him on colonial
subjects, together with NJ. LIE Roux
and NJ d'Estournelles, who have spec
tally written on Algeria and Tunis
NJ Casimir- Perier had an inclination
toward works on music and the drama
in his lighter moods. NJ. Carnot was
interested in history. and notably in
that of the Great Revolution, in which
his grandfather had played an impor-
tant part AS to Marshal MacMahon,
he read very little beyond the official
reports and the newspapers, but we
have NJ Claretie's word for it that he
would have made an efficient dramatic
critic, for he took a deep and intelligent
interest in the best productions of the
stage.
His successor, NJ. Grevy, was alto
gether immersed in politics and law,
while his predecessor NJ. Theirs, as a
literary man read everything or had
everything read to him by NJ. Barthe-
lemy Saint Hiaire, who also marked
passages for perusal by the little Pres
ident, the latter being extremely busy
as the head of the State, having then
less leisure than when he led the Oppo-
sition. NJ. Loubet, as limited above, may
be in the same boat now, owing to the
exceptional pressure of current politics
and events.

A FAITH CURE HEALER
Ordered Arrested by the President
of New York Board of Health.

NEW YORK, May s. President
Murphy of the Board of Health or
dered the arrest to-day of Mrs. Maria
Milton, a faith cure healer, who is ac-
cused of being responsible for the crit
ical condition in which Lille Kranz, a
twelve-year-old child, now is, as re-
suit of gangrene in the foot of the child.
The child was first attended by
physician, who said the fractured MEM
Der would have to be amputated. The
parents refused to consent to this, and
called in Mrs. Milton, who, it is al
legged, said she could cure the child by
placing on her hands. The patient
grew rapidly worse under this treat
ment, and a physician was again called
in. He ordered the child to hospital,
where the leg was amputated, but the
case had gone too far, and it is feared
death will ensue.
The Coroner's inquest into the death
of Mrs. Charlotte Barget who died of
dropSy at Mount Vernon after treat
ment by a Christian scientist, was be-
gun to-day
