Exportation Of Coal.

The United states in 1882 by passing
England, became the largest producer
Of coal In the world, and from this
point we move to another one Of greater
interest In becoming large exporter
~ coal In this West virgInil has a
share to some extent with marvellous
possibilities ahead. These facts lend
special interest TO an elaborate dis
ousston Of the worlds coal product,
published by the bureau Of statistics OF
the treasury department in the April
number OF the monthly summary Of
commerce and finance. which states
that expectations OF coal from the
United states in the ten months ending
with April were nearly 20 percent larger
than those OF the same moaths Of the
preceding fiscal year and SO per cent
Iarger than those Of the corresponding
months OF 1895, while our total produc-
tIon for 1895 was not only the largest in
our history but larger than that Of any
other country in the world.
For the first time the United statea
1gures show a larger production than
nc British figures for the game period.
The signlncance OF this fact cannot be
over.estimated. Coal is now more than
ever "the.material energy Of country

General s. 3. Buckner, OF the dis
tracted state Of Kentucky, while in
New York the other day gave an inter
estins talk to a reporter. General
Buclner was the vice presidential can

much" said he. will depend upon the
action Of the conventions at Philadel-
phIa and Kansas City" General Buck
ner maintained that the Gold Demo-
Gratis was as strong-stronger II any,
thIng-as they were four years ago; and
that while 1t is true that some who
voted with the Gold Democracy or for
Mckinley have returned to the Demo-
cratic fold, many recruits have been
gained. Said the general: I'VE fought
for a principle in 1886 and are prepared
to make another struggle, II necessary.
Neither General Palmer nor myself had
any idea OF being elected, but we be-
lleved we would succeed in saving the
country. That we did do and we have
also brought about the adoption Of the
gold standard. The free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 1s to |
is dead as an issue. but the Organizes
may try to make it one"
In speaking OF Kentucky, General
Ruckner said he firmly believed that
Kentucky would give its electoral vote
to Mckinley, owing to the strong feel
ing against Goebellsm and It's attending
inIquities. As to the attempt to convict
the assassin OF Goebel, the eminent
Kentuckian said: 81 don't thiER that
the Goebeites want to catch the real
murderer. They have 100000 of blood
money, and they viii use it 70 convict
any politician in high place whom they
want to get rid of. They will manage
to get any testimony that they want
and will prove that the person whose
conviction they desire was in the state
house at Frankfort when the shot was
fired, even If he was miles away at the
time"

Longstereat, she attended on horseback
and associated with the stan officers
of the several commanders.
Her greatest service, however, was
that of spy. For months and years
she withstood every prIvation and lived
constantly within the shadow of death.
Her name was passed from one federal
army to another. and the greatest hon
ors awaited the officer or sentry who
would capture her. TAe man who fnal-
~ accomplished the feat afteiward sac
riaced everything for her.
Belle Boyd was captured on the
blockade runner Greyhound, In 1864, by
gunboat in command of Lieutenant
Samuel Harding, Of Brooklyn. She and
two confederate officers were being con-
veyed on the gunboat to Boston, and
during the trip Lieutenant Harding lost
his heart to the beautiful prisoner. He
proposed marriage.
$50 generous and noble had lie been
in everything" she said, in telling of
the romance years afterward, that
told him 1 would be his wife, though our
politics differed. Woman, thought I.

not even he become by degrees to love
for my sake the ill-used SOUTH"
Even before this romantic voyage was
ended the implacable foe OF the north
connived at the escape OF her two con-
federate fellow prisoners. She herself
was sentenced to be shot and afterward
banIshed from the country. Lieutenant
Harding was arrested for allowing the
two prisoners to escape, but he was not
convicted. Shortly afterward he de-
serted and followed the witching rebel
to England, where he married her, the
Prince of Wales attending the wedding,
He returned to this country later and
followed his wife's example became a
confederate spy. Harding lived only
four years after his marriage. In 1869

thing we do" The relative abundance
or scarcity of coal. therefore. is the tru-
est index Of country's position among
It's industrial rivals. According to re-
cent information steamers have been
chartered 20 carry coal from america to
st. Petersburg and Stockholm. as well
IS to Italian, French and German ports.
While these exports may be due nainly
to the present abnormal conditions of
the British coal market. there IS no
doubt that In time this country will he
called upon to supply an even larger
part OF the coal needed by foreign In
dustrIal countries which. until recently,
have been drawing upon the British
output. This is the more probable since
cost of production and prices of coal
show falling tendency for this coun-
try whereas tho opposite holds true Of
European coal producing countries.

Modern Medlcnl Mirncle.

The complete recovery Of a man with
broken neck IS one OF the marveIs Of
modern medical science. This is the
case of young Duryea. the son of the
wealthy starch manufacturer Of New
York. Duryea's physicians regard his
recovery as little short Of miracle His
case has attracted attention all over the
world, and is one OF the most singular
in the annals of medical practice. His
remarkable condition to-day is the re-
suit Of rare operation performed in
Roosevelt Hospital on September IS,
1899. Physicians and surgeons in all
parts OF the country have awaited with
keen Interest the outcome OF the efforts
that have been made to save the ath-
lete's life.
The injury bafEled his physicians for
weeks and several times they gave up
all hope OF saving his life.
They obtained X-ray pictures Of his
spine, however, and thus located his in
jury SO accurately that the operation
which was believed might be successful
was decided to be possible.
Duryea broke his neck while attempts
ing to dive off the steps of the Casino
at Oyster Bay on Sunday. August Z,
1899. He could move neither hand nor
foot, and he lay in the water until his
friend, alarmed at his failure TO come
to the surface, pulled him out. He was
conscious when taken out, and said he
thought his neck was broken, He was
taken to his home, but his life was de-
SPARED of. Several of the most emf
nent physicians in the city were sum-
moned.
he was removed to a private room in
Roosevelt Hospital and his fight for life
speedily won the admiration and inter-
est OF his own and other physicians.
He lay with his head in plaster cast
for six weeks before the operation was
performed. About the ninth day after
the accident he grew weaker and on the
tenth he became delirious.
His temperature arose to 1O4 and the
doctors said then that he would proba-
bly, not live through the night. To the
surprise of all, however, he began to get
well and was soon considered out of all
danger.
Then came the operation. About a
dozen medical men were present and it
was over in forty minutes. The sur
geons had to lay bare the delicate spinal
cord, and the slightest movement on the
part Of the patient during the operation
would have meant death. Duryea did
not take ether.
The X-ray disclosed the fact that the
fractured vertebra was pressing on the
spinal cord. The surgeons took out the
laminae OF fifth and sixth vertebrls and
thus restored in large measure the
width of the canal through which the
spinal cord passes. From that time on
Duryea began to recover. He now sits
upright, wheels himself about the room
in his chair, and can write and use
knife and fork. He expects to regain
oil his old strength, and even talks of
athletics again.
