By ELEvATING THE QUALITY
Of our coal We lower the price In economy of
consumption. Consumers will find that it Is
cheaper TO use our high grade Lee Coal, that
has been screened and freed from slate and
stone, than that of an inferior grade. 1t gives
more heat, less ashes and burns longer than
any other coal, and our prices are as low as
any. Coal and Wood under cover.

MONSTER CAKE WALK.

Arrangements have just been COM
pleted by the National Ethiopian
Amusement company of Madison
Square Garden New York, to present
their monster cake walk and jubilee at
Music hall on Tuesday evening, Feb
ruary 81.
Several years ago walking became a
fad in the amusement world and so
firm a hold has it taken, that it is the
most interesting and largely patronized
form of amusement now extant. The
big cake walk and jubilee which will be
held here promises to be the largest at
fair of the kind ever attempted in this
city. and will be under the management
of P. T. Powers, J. C. Kennedy and j.

by the presiding officer of the, banquet.
The president of the meeting in 1860
was George Ashmun, who was the
grandfather of George A, Morton, the
general baggage agent of the Console
dated road. Mr.. Morton has this gavel
as an heirloom. and he also has Lin
coins acceptance of the nomination and
an original letter written by the presi-
dent to. his grandfather in regard to
some personal business between the two.
This last letter was the last one written
by Lincoln and was penned but a few
hours before he went to Ford's theater
in Washington, where he was assas-
sinated.
Both these letters will be read at the
banquet.

A CITY WITHOUT SOAP.
Sixty Thousand Japanese Who Ha

Sixty Thousand Japanese Who Had
Not Learned How to .Bathe.
| Miss Kate V. Johnson, of Madison,
Ind, who has lived in Japan for thir-
teen years, talks in an interesting way
Of the little people of that country,
who live without chairs, bedsteads,
knives, forks, spoons or soap; Of the wo-
men who paint their teeth black and
shave their eyebrows to indicate loyalty
to their husbands; of the carpenters
who make long beautiful shavings by
drawing their planes toward them and
who place the back door at the front
of the house; and of their books in
which the preface is placed at the end
of the book and foot notes at the head
of the page.
Miss Johnson first went to Akita, a
city of 10000 persons. and found 1t a
city without soap. Naoye Saito, a
young Japanese girl who came to live
in her house, had never had a soap bath
in her life She kicked and screamed
when her first bath was given her and
said>they were trying to kill her. A
cake of Ivory Soap was sent to Naoye
Saito's father with instructions to use
1t on his person. He came back the
next day and asked for another cake,
saying he had used it all up.
Before Miss Johnson left Japan last
summer she took Naoye Saito, who had
been with her for ten years, back to
her native province and left her to earn
her own living. While still in Toxic, a
few days before sailing for America,
Miss Johnson received a letter from
Naoye in which she said Il forgot
one thing very necessary to our COM
fort in this place. Will you please go
to the grocery store and buy me a
dozen cakes of Ivory Soap and send
them to me at once?" She sent
money order to pay for it, and the soap
was sent.
