SOFT COAL SMOKE
A SOURCE OF CONTINUAL NUISANCE TO
THE TIDY HOUSEWIFE.
A New Feature in Country Towns Where
Laws are Passed Prohibiting
the Nuisance.

The people used to hear years ago of
smoky Pittsburg and other towns in
the bltuminOus coal region, and see
the swelling of big, black smoke from
the high chimneys of New York and
Philadelphia, but it never entered
their heads that way of in Smyrna thew
would have the trouble of the soft coal
nuisance as they call it. 1t is a com
paratively new thing. Up to two or
three years ago, nothing but anthracite
coal was used, which is harmless, com
paratlvely, with the heavy, sulphurous
greasy smoke of the bituminous coal.
The housewives in the vicinity where
1t is used, are vexed beyond measure,
because it blackens their paint, soils
their linen and ruins their carpets.
In New York city it seems they have
a law against the use of soft coal, where
1t interferes with the rights of others.
Representative of the Merchants AS
sociation took a trip on the Steamer
Daniel S. Lamont around the city, and
found fifty or sixty establishments,
whose soft coal smoke was destroying
the purity of the atmosphere and be-
fouling buildings that would otherwise
keep clean.
Mr.. COrwine said after he reached
his Office, following the trip around
Manhattan Island:
"The memoranda secured to-day will
be turned over tomorrow to the Mer-
chants Associations counsel, James
b. Dill. We are satisfied that Presi-
dent NJ. G.. Murphy of the Board of
Health is trying to prosecute the soft
coal smoke offenders, and we are going
TO help him. We shall probably bring
actions against every violatOr. 1t is a
shame that these factory people do not
obey the law"
President Murphy of Health Board
writes: '"That he has brought the at
tention of the Grand Jury to these
smoke law violators in hundreds of
cases. The Merchants Association is
no respectOr of persons. We will pros
ecute the smoke law violators if our
counsel finds that they have been vio-
lating the law"
Mr.. Wolfe said that every ton of BIZ
luminous coal contains from sixteen to
twenty pounds of sulphur, and that
the SCOT in the atmosphere causes fogs
to form; also that the thick, black
smoke produces bronchial and throat
affections, and causes masonry to
deteriorate.

they cannot reach the seat of the di-

H. Maxwell of San Francisco, repre-
senting the National Irrigation Con-
gress, spoke on THE Creation of an In
ternational Empire lie urged the re-
clamation and Settlement Of the arid
region that is being advocated by the
National Irrigation Congress, which is
that the Federal Government should
give to the West it's share Of the reser-
walton and harbor appropriations for
building great storage reservoirs to
save the waters in flood times which
now go down in great volumes carrying
destruction with them: and that title to
the public lands should he ceded to in
dividual settlers only and not ceded to
States; also that the grazing land of the
West should be leased to the States at
lower rates, and the proceeds used for
constructing irrigating canals.
A lively fight is on among the irriga-
tionists on the question of building res
ervoirs for the arid districts. One fac
ton, led by Governor Murphy, wants
cession to the States and State reser-
voirs. Opposed to this is a faction fa-

FILIPINO WAR.
Negotiations Between American,

WASHINGTON, May 30-The Secre-

ordinate officers on the operations
around Manila up to April 9Th
The feature of the report is General
Otis correspondence with Aguinaldo,

ed States authorities as early as June,
1898, against the landing of their mill
tary forces on Philippine soil without
first obtaining his consent. The sub
stance of the correspondence has al
ready been made public.
General Otis says the negotiations be-
tween the American and Philippine
Commissions reached no conclusion, as
the insurgent members could not SUBJ

Were able to maintain. They presented
as the desire of the insurgents absolute
independence under the protection of

A Sensible Shopper.

1t is a common happening for women
shoppers to be taken for saleswomen
in the big department stores. and it is
interesting to note the effect of some
CT the mistakes. The breaks are es-
pecially numerous in the hat depart
ments. where the customers take off
their hats in order to try on new ones.
In many cases shoppers who are adj
dressed by other shoppers with the
query, will you please show me some
of the hats?" become indignant and
sharply reply that they are not sales
women, but prominent, wealthy wo-
man of West Walnut street proved an
exception to this rule in one of the
most popular stores the other day. The
salesgirl who was waiting on her, and
who has been doing so for years, had
left her to go after another hat for her
to try on, when a woman stepped up
TO the customer and expressed a desire
to look at some specimens of head
wear. The Walnut street woman
promptly took the newcomer in tow and
gave her the benefit of her knowledge
about a number of hats which she had
examined in her own search. When
the salesgirl appeared she turned the
woman over to her and excused herself.

BIMETALLISTS.
The Ohio Valley League Meets in
Convention at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE (Ky.), May 81. = The
Ohio Valley League of Bimetallic
Clubs, comprising the States of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky is hold
ing it's third annual convention in this
city, in MascAuley's Theater.
|, The convention was called to order
at 2:3O o'clock by Chairman Semonin
of the local committee, who introduced
Mayor Weaver of Louisville. He ex-
tended a hearty welcome to the visit
ing delegates, and told them that their
work would be we'll done if they in
dorsed Bryan for President in 1909.
At the conclusion of his address
Judge J. p Tarvin of Covington, KY,
President of the Bimetallic League
spoke at considerable length. His re-
marks were at times received with the
greatest enthusiasm, any reference to
the reaffirming of the Chicago platform
or an Endorsement of William Jennings
Bryan as the Presidential nominee be-
ing the signal for vociferous applause.
Following Judge Tarvin, ex-Congress-
man j. H. Robinson of Indiana made
an impromptu speech. In reference to
the coming campaign of 1900, the
speaker said that it lay with the Dem
ocratic party to name the victor, and
that they would make a great mistake
if they did not select Mr.. Bryan.
At the evening session Hon. Flavius
IT, Van Voorhis of Indianapolis spoke
in favor of bimetallism and against
trusts, after which Ex-Governor John
P. Altgeld of Illinois delivered an ad-
dress.
While Altgeld was in the midst Of his
discourse, Mr.. Bryan, who had arrived
in the city earlier in the evening,
reached the theater. He was admitted
to the stage by a rear entrance and
took seat behind the flies, where ne
awaited the conclusion of Mr.. Alt
geld's speech.
After the speeches had been con-
cluded Mr.. Bryan and the more distln-
guished visitors repaired to the Gait
House. where the banquet of the Young

KILLING OF j. E. HUNTER
The Trial Of William H. Afford Be-
gun at Los Angeles.

Los ANGELES, May 31-The trial
OF William H. Afford for the murder
OF Jay E. Hunter began in earnest with
the taking of evidence in Department
one Of the Superior Court here to-day.
Although little evidence bearing di-
rectly on the shooting of the attorney
was given, the foundation for the more
sensational evidence was laid by two
OF the physicians who attended Hunter
after he was shot. The point at issue
was the determination of the position
in which Hunter was at the time the
bullet penetrated his abdomen, the de-
tense endeavoring to show that he was
STOPPING over Afford when he sustained
the wound. The bullet passed through
the abdomen almost horizontally, and
must have been fired at right angle
with the body of the attorney
-Four witnesses were examined They
We're Edward Lownes, Deputy County
Surveyor; Dr. Carl Kurtz, Dr. Hugh
West and Attorney Sheldon Borden.
The latter witness was the only one
who gave any direct testimony on the
shooting. He was in an adjoining room
when the shooting occurred, and states
that he heard no commotion as of a
struggle before the shots were fired.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-Al Neill
Green by Referee Walter Watson at
the end of a twenty-round go at Wood
wards Pavilion tonight. The decis-
ion received some applause, and was
generally approved by the audience,
which was a representative one, the
prevailing opinion being that Neill had
earned all that was awarded him.
Green affected some dissatisfaction,
contending that draw was the worst
he should have got.
Although a we'll contested match
from boxing standpoint, it was really
featureless fight, the chief apparent
object of each of the combatants being
to stay the twenty rounds Although
both have the reputation of being hard
hitters, no really effective blows were
landed, and a knockout was beyond the
range of probability until the last few
rounds
Green did most Of the leading, but
Neill outpointed him, the latter also
having an unpleasant habit of jabbing
Green in the ribs, the effects of which
George showed early in the game.
There was talk Of Green being groggy
several times, but irrespective of that
Green more than once faxed grogginess,
and thus was enabled to land a number
Of stiff blows when NeiH was off his
guard.
By this victory Neill demonstrated
that he is a promising man of the flu
ture in the middleweight class.
During the first five rounds Green hau
clear lead, and it appeared then that
he might gain the decision without ex-
traordinary effort. From the sixth
round on, however, Neill became ag-
gressive, and effectually turned the tide
of battle with a succession of good
blows from his right on Green's jaw
in the seventh, repeating the dose in the
ninth round
For awhile Neill's friends hoped that
he would score a knockout, but Green
recovered and stayed the fight out to
the end. NeiH proved to be quick and
quite as clever as his opponent, and
he returned Green's smashes with in
terest in almost every rally
In the ten-round preliminary so be-
tween Otis and Lawler, Otis gained the
decision at the end of the tenth round.
AT the expiration of the ninth the ref
cree, thinking it was the tenth, gave
the fight to Otis, but discovering his
mistake, recalled his decision, and after
another round Of fighting decided as
above.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
An Official Abstract of the Report
Of Admiral Walker.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The State
Department to-day made public an ON
cial abstract of the report of the MIC
araguan Canal Commission, as present.
ed by Admiral Walker, the head OF the
commission. 1t is understood to be the
intention of the President to submit
the full report to Congress at the be-
ginning of the next session.
The report goes into minute details
with respect to all details connected
with the construction Of the canal, and
says after mature elaboration the COM
mission has adopted and estimated for
the route from B. ito to Lake Nlcara qua,
called Child's route, and from the lake
to Greytown, called the Lull route. This
line leaving Brito follows the left bank
of the Rio Grande to near Bueno Re-
trio. crosses the western divide TO the
valley of the lakes, which it follows to
Lake Nicara qua. Crossing the lake to
the head of the San Juan River it fol-
lows the upper river to near Roca San
Carlos, thence in excavation by the left
bank of the river to the San Juanillo
and across the low country to Grey
town, passing to the northward of Lake
Siloco.
1t requires but a single dam with
regulating works at both ends of the
summit level The surveys have in
general revealed better physical conGi-
tions than We're hitherto supposed to
exist, especially as to the amount of
rock in the upper river, whereby it IS
possible to greatly reduce the estimat-
ed cost of construction.
The commission believes that a canal
cap he blIilt across the iSt hn1uc on .biS
route for not exceeding $11S, 1890.
Colonel Hams concurs generally with
the views of the other members of the
commission, but his estimate of the
cost is $134, S1S,3OS.
