Of Interest to Oil Men,

The hearing of the case of Steel
smith & Boyer against William A.
Steele and others, pending in the Unit
ed States court, will be heard on a mo-
ton for the appointment of receivers
by Judge jackson on next Wednesday.
Many OF the points arising on this mo-
tion are of great interest to those hav-
ing to do with oil developments. The
plaintiffs claim that operations on the
leases makes the owners mining part
ners, and that the rules of partnership,
therefore, apply to these operations.
The bill also alleges that the owners
OF a one-fourth interest in the leases
and in the oil produced already refuse
to contribute anything for further de-
velopments and also refuse to sign a
proper division order to enable the
owners to sell the oil in the pipe line,
now amounting to over 5000 barrels,
so as to distribute the proceeds in pro-
portion to the interests actually owned
or to apply the proceeds to further de-
velopment.
The bill further alleges that the
owners of contiguous leases are drill
ing thereon and will rapidly exhaust
the oil from the leases in controversy.
The result of this case will be pre-
ccdent, as it will define the relation
ship of joint owners of leaseholds for
oil and the liabilities of the owners to
each other as to contributions for de-
velopments. The question is new to
the practice in West Virginia, and it
is fortunate that the case comes before
a judge with such wide experience and
profound knowledge of land law as is
possessed by Judge Jackson.
The plaintiffs and all the defendants
excepting Steele and McKelvey, are in
accord asking the same relief They
are represented by V. B. Archer,of this
city, while the defendants, Steele and
McKelvey, are REPRESENTED by F. l..

Coffee Culture in Puerto Rico,

Coffee raising ranks second as an in
dustry in Porto Rico, bringing wage
into the pockets of thousands of earn
ers and substantial profits to the cof-
fers of the plantation owner and ex-
porter.
Besides the assured income from
well-planted coffee plantation, the life
OF the planter and owner has many de-
sirable features which recommend it
as an occupation to be followed by the
A-merican investor First, coffee must
needs be raised in the high attitudes of
the picturesque rolling hills, and on
the faces Of the steep mountain in
clines which finish upward in sharp
zigzagglng narrow ridges thus giving
him healthful, cool place of residence
away from the hot low lands and fever
country Of the coast. Second, in the
hills and mountains living springs for
uncontaminated water-supply are
found, and, at the worst, he has always
at hand the cooler, frothing, dashing
torrents OF the rock-bound mountain
streams from which to draw crystal
line water. Third, and perhaps most
important, no great technical training
is required to raise coffee successfully,
as is the case with raising sugar or
tobacco. Fourth. the life is an easier
one for the proprletOr-which is no
small factor in tOrrid zone, where
excessive activity is sure to bring on
fever in the case OF the unaclimated-
in that he travels in the shade of the
forest which shelters his coffee trees
from the hot sun as he makes his over
seeing tours, and works under cover
where the pulpy berry is changed into
the finished and polished bean of com
merce.
Good coffee lands range in price
from twenty to five hundred dollars an
acre, depending upon location and the
topography of the site, and again
whether 1t be virgin soil or in crop of
varying age, the highest price being
asked for flve-year old full-bearlng
trees. near the great military highways
within easy hauling distance of coast
shipping eenters.
II may be said lnat FIVE hundred dol
lars is a fictitious yaMe for any coffee
plantation, and that me owner naming
such price is usually a Spaniard, fill
ed with desire to return to Spain, but
inwardly fearing. even in his dislike
OF the American. that the new rule may
mean unparalleled progress in the is
land. Two hundred dollars an acre
for well-grown trees, with adequate
shade above them, has hitherto been
a good round sum for
plantation. though as much as three

Agulnaldo,s VANITY,

81 saw Aguinaldo in Hongkong in
the early part of 1897" said Mr.. E. H.
Cunningham, of Liverpool, who is one
of this years Carnival visitors. 81
was representing an English firm at
the time, and was arranging deal for
some Manila hemp with Mr.. Emile
Chargan, n resident factor. One day
/ called at Chargans office. and found
him in conversation with n swarthy
young Filipino, who was introduced to
me as Aguinaldo. l had heard good
deal of the insurgent chief, so l looked
at him with decided curiosity. What
impressed me most strongly about
him was his extremely youthful ap-
pearance. He did not look over % at
the outside, and his air of juvenility
was borne out by his STOPPING should
ers and narrow chest. He seemed like
a fragile, uniformed boy. His features
were distinctly Mongol'an, his cheek
bones high, his eyes obllque, his nose
short and blunt and his lips rather
Tick. His skin, I remember, was
badly pitted, possibly from smallpox.
/ too. particular note of his hands and
feet which were remarkably small,
even for Filipino. He wore women's S
cG,h CATERS, which is not unusual in
Hongkong, and had a large solitaire
on his left hand. Aguinaldo remained
only few minutes after / arrived but
long enough for me to note that his
manners were curiously nervous. 1t
seemed impossible for him to remain
quiet for a moment. The faces of a
great many Fllipinos gave one an i'm
preston of distortion, as If they were
slightly twisted to one side, and ] re-
marked the popularity strongly in
Aguinaldo. After he left | told Char
gan that he reminded me more of a
native shipping clerk in some Dutch
importing house than of a revolution
list. He's the smartest Filipino in the
South Seas said Chargan, and his on
ly weak spot is his vanity, which is
something monstrous.' That is the
only time l ever saw him, so the pic
ture remains quite vivid. New Or

WHY CUPID FAILED.

All! well might Cupid drop his head,
And hide him in the dark,
For he, alas! like silly maid,
Has shot, but missed the mark.
And oft has he on bended knee,
His bow and arrow bent,
And by his dart some maiden's heart
Soon followed where he went.
But when dear Cupid thought to win
A bachelors heart of stone,
That he might take it to some nymph
Who'd give for it her own,
He found that though he bent his boy,
And measured with his eye,
The fatal spot, where, if she shot,
The bachelors heart would fly.
No arrow could, however strong;
Play havoc with this man;
He has no need of armor plate
Such plate as we might plan
Then Cupid came and to me owned
Defeat in mis- own art,
For" said he signing, Il have found
That bachelor has no near.."

The Animal Tteatre.

A frog, duck. lamb and a skunk
presented themselves at the door of
the animal theatre and sought admis-
sion, says the New York Press. The
frog was let in because 1t had a green
back, the duck because 1t had a bill
and the lamb because it had four quar-
ters. Now, someone in the crowd
must and naturally will. ask. What
became OF the skunk?" and the smar-
tvs answer will be, "oh. it failed to get
in because it only had scent. and a
very bad one"

Beverly.

Some pessimistic people have been
declaring lately that there has been no
progress in improvement in Beverly
during the last ten or twelve years.
Now let's go back previons to 1887,
before there was any railroad. For
ten years before that there was hardly
business house or residence built.
Since that by actual count forty-flve
new buildings have been built, either
business buildings or residences, And
both the business houses and homes
are of the best class.
Among these are $4,000 Presbyter-
ian church, a $4,000 school house, a
$6, 900 town hall and engine house
combined two large store buildings,
one Of which has two store rooms: five
residences costing from $4,000 to
$4,000 each, and last but not least a
$4,000 steam mill and electric light
plant.
The other houses and two business
hOuSSS are al vi Tic DtSj CldSS, all Dc-
ing the latest style and with modern
improvements.
Then there is electric lights both in
houses and on streets, long distance
telephone and telephone line to Wat
ertown, Earlow, Vincent and Fleming,
with twenty stations along the line.
In addition to this, Waterford has
added twenty-one new buildings, in
Guiding a wood working factory, which
is now shipping plow handles extern
sively. Also township high school
costing s2,5OO.
Much as the two towns have i'm
proved, the country surrounding Bev-
erly has improved much faster. With
in the last ten years within five miles
of town there has been built more
modern houses and barns than in 80
years before that. Certainly there is
not less than 100 new farm houses and
so new barns within this radius.
The pessimist is on the wrong track
when he says Beverly is not improving
and will have to try some other sub
ject for his growlings. Try optimism
look at the bright and happy side of
things) and see if that don't aid in i'm
proving yourself and your surround
ings. OPTIMIST.
