home But it would certainly be profitable
to enlist men accustomed to this work,
and to catering, who should be placed in
charge of the preparation of all meals.
Then private soldiers could be detailed as
aids to do the numerous things which do
not require special skill, and in course OF
time these assistants would learn how
food ought to be prepared in order to make
the most of it. They would find out how to
cook tough meat so as to extract from IL
whatever juice there may be; how to sea-
son and combine vegetables to make
stew which a Frenchman would not dis
dain; how to utilize whatever fruits and
vegetables happen TO be in the neighbor-
hood of the camp. The Government would
save, in the end, more than the pay OF
these cooks. The hospital list would be
reduced, the doctors could depend on hav-
ing some nourishing dishes for GONZALES
cents, and there would be less waste OF
material; for really good cook generally
abhors waste. Men enlisted for this serv-
ice need not be required to reach certain
physical standards, but they should pass
strict examination in their special duties.

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
Without Love.

Who travels alone with his eye on the
heights
Tho he laughs in the daytime, oft wceps
through the nights,
For courage goes down with the set of
the sun.
When the toll Of the journey is all borne
by one.
He speeds but to grief, tho full gaily he
ride.
Who travels alone without love at his
side.
Who travels alone without lover or
friend.
But hurrics from nothing TO naught at
the cad.
Though great, be his winnings, and high
be his goal,
lie is bankrupt in wisdom, and bcggared
in soul.
Lies one gift of value to him is denied
Who travels alone without love at his
side.
1t is easy enough in this world to make
haste
If we i've for that purpose, but think OF
the waste
For life is a poem to leisurely read,
And the JOY of the journey lies not in Inc
Oh, vain his achievement, and petty his
who travels alone without love at his
side.

The coal famine in Europe in the opin-
ion of some OF the shrewdest capitalists
in this country, is 10 be widespread and
increasing in importance from this time
on. 1t is also belieFed by them that the
American coal fields must and will fill the
increasing gap left by the insufficient Eu-
ropean output. The opinion is ventured
by some that the export of American coal
will increase phenomenally and that it will
be source of great profit to the people
fortunate or shrewd enough TO Own the
coal lands and the coal-carrying railways
Already, as the Government statistics
show, the sending of coal abroad, only a
year OF two ago Insignificant, is becoming
relatively of much Importance. Each
years figures are a large advance on the
last previous one, and the gain is more
rapid than in any other large class of ex-
ports.
The best evidence of what capitalists
think Of the situation is to be found in the
fact that they are undoubtedly buying large
coal areas, developed and undeveloped in
the Virginias, Maryland, Pennsylvania. and
adjacent coal regions. Within the past few
weeks a score of purchasers have expend-
ed nearly 10000 600 in these investments
In anticipation of the forthcoming Euro
pean demand American coal carrying rail-
ways like the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania are adding hundreds of thou
sands of acres TO their holdings.
Capitalists who never before bought an
acre of coal land are now making big pur-
chases. Much land now being acquired
away from railways will be held to await
the European demand.
One of the largest purchases has been
made by syndicate of New York. Phila-
deIphia and Berlin capitalists, who have
paid $4,000 eco for 1G4 eco acres.
This international syndicate will hold
its lands for foreign trade.
Another syndicate. made up of Pitts
burg capitalists. has made $5G0, 600 pur-
chase The Philadelphia traction syndf-
cate is also heavy purchaser.
P A. B. Widener and Mr.. w l. Elkins
it is said. paid $1,000. Geo for q valuable
coal tract a short time ago. The Phila-
deIphia Syndicate is a large user of coal
but for its own needs it is improbable il
should be buying coal lands in million
dollar parcels.
John w Gates who as maker of steel
knows the value of coal, bought hun
dred thousand acres of coal land just be-
fore he left New York in the spring. His
purchase was speculative and he will hold

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 27.-All business
ceased in Chinatown for over an hour yes
terday morning. while funera' services
were being held over the remains of Mcy
Wo Sung, who died on Friday. The body
lay in state at the Joss House all Saturday
night, and about 100 of the dead mans
friends assembled to pay tribute to his
memory banquet was served in his
honor, where the choicest dishes eoncocted
bv the Chinese chefs were served All of
the expenses will be paid out of the estate
of Moy Wo Sung, for he was shareowner
and manager of the Moy Company. one OF
the richest of the nineteen companies op-
Grating in Chinatown.
Soon after daylight Kwong Hing Lo, one
of the chief priests, offered up sacrifices
and supplications TO the gods OF death and
the supreme ruler of the sombre heavens,
and to them he recounted the many viz
tues of the dead Moy, who was really
reputable Chinaman as Cinnamon 60 1t
took three hours steady praying and about
$50 in genuine cash to satisfy the gods or
death and the ruler of the sonere heavens,
according to Kwong Hing Lo. that Moy Wo

clans were summoned and for nearly an
hour they doled out the most diabolieal

A parade then formed behind the band,
