The Right Kind of Gossip.

A writer in the Ladies Home
Journal has the following to say
concerning gossip, which is worthy
of consideration by US all;
Gossip may be friendly and
neighborly like the word because
it conveys a suggestion Of good news
or good comment, but it is no long
er gossip when t ceases to deal with
pleasant happenings and loving
wishes, and becomes critical or cen
serious or lapses into SANDER. The
most unworthy talk in the world is
that which is carried on in whispers
and semi-eonfidenees. and which re-
tails the unfortunate errors of PEG.
pie, whom we know. Never to say
an unkind thing, never to imply an
unfriendly thing even by our silenc
are rules which we should make an
to which we should scrupulonsly
adhere

viii the Coal Supply Ever Fail.

Unless some means of producing
heat outside OF the present known
method Of consuming fuel is discover
ed, the size of the earth's coal deposits
can be said to mark the limit Of hui
man progress. At one time and an
other we have noted marvellous proph-
ecies with regard to the Harvesting Of
rivers and the tides of the ocean In
such way as to furnish heat in the
form of electricity sufficient to do
away with the necessity of coal beds.
But beyond the sensation of day in
the columns of some Sunday newspa.
per these wonderful inventions have
not materialized, and to all appear
ances we are as far from emancipation
from Subservience to coal as we ever
have been.
There is no use Of crossing a bridge
before you come to it; and yet the
condition of coal production in Eu-
rope seems to be such that before long
that quarter of the earth will be
drawing steadily On American coal
mines for at least portion of-its sup
ply and be diminishing, no matter
how slowly. the lease OF American
progress We are apt to congratulate
ourselves in a glittering general way
on the fact that we have coal enough
to last as long as we shall need it:

Pittsburg's Place.

The census bureau at Washing
ten on Saturday officially announ-
ced the population of Pittsburg and
Allegheny, as taken in the last cen
sus. Pittsburg has a population of
321, GIG, as against 23S,6l7 in 1890,
showing an increase of $4,000, or
rs per cent Allegheny's popula-
ton is 129, 1896 as against l05.2S7
in 1890, an increase of 24,609,
or 1887 per cent. Pittsburg is
now the eleventh city in the Tn
tied States. But if Pittshirg and
Allegheny and the nearby boroughs
were consolidated, as would surely
be done if they were located west OF
Ohio, Pittsburg WOULD have fourth
or first place.

Reflections OF a Bachelor.

No man with whiskers has got
any right to put butter on his green
corn.
The best lesson we learn from our
enemies is to be deeper than they
are.
The girl that doesn't put in more
time fixing her hair than she does
saying her prayers won't stand
much show with the men.
You often meet men who are toe
modest to get married, but most OF
the women you meet are generally
too married to get modest.
There is only one bigger tool than
the man who tells his wife every
thing that happened before he mar
rird her, and that Is the woman who
does the same thing to her husband.

about Them.

Under the civil service rules FEEDER

they will be assessed all the same says

the Republican State committe, is
sending out the following letter TO
the country postmasters:
ssParkersburg, w. Va, Aug. II, 1900.
ssDear Sir-On the enclosed blank
please give the names OF the postmas-
tiers Of your county, noting carefully
the politics of each one, and under the
head of ssRemarksn state as nearly as
you can the annual income of each of
flee. The postmasters of the county
seat ought to be able to furnish you
the most of this information. Please
attend TO this at once, and return the
blank in the enclosed stamped enYel-
ope at the earliest possible moment.
very truly yours,
s'WM. M. O. DAWSON,
Chairman
So the country postmasters will be
called upon to 'scough up in proper
tion to the 'annual income OF the
office As the larger number of the
country postoffices are kept as mat
ter of local convenience, and virtually
have no income, the postmaster may
conclude that the trouble he has is all
the assessment he should pay. Note
carefully the politics OF each one, y
says Chairman Dawson. Is this in
formation wanted in order to confls-
cate all of the income OF the few Dem
ocrats who have not been turned out,
or is it wanted for another purpose?
The charge has been made that the
Republican campaign committees are
using Republican postmasters as dis
tributing agents for campaign litera.
ture. 1t has also been charged that
some persons connected with the mail
service are being used to prevent the
distribution Of Democratic literature
through the mails by failing to carry
it and deliver it when sent according
to law. This information about the
politics of the postmaster may be
wanted for these purposes.

SPORTING NOTES.

An informal race of three-eighths of
a mile was brought off Monday after
noon after the official program had
been gone through with. The starters
were Nunes' Manuleli and Rodrlgues'
Dave, who had been left at the post
earlier in the afternoon. The race was
for a small amount. but considerable
money changed hands among the local
blacksmiths who were present to a
man. Dave who had all the speed ran
out at the head of the stretch but came
again and only succumbed to Manuleli
by the shortest of short noses. Time
40.
A match race at half mile is talked
of between Dave and Waipahu; it will
probably come off two weeks from next
Saturday.
