AUTOMOBILE EXCHANGE.
Unique InstitGtion Planned by the New York Agents of Motor
 Vehicle ufacturers.

New York city has a new idea in or rather two of them, but under the same mana gement. Both will be im- mense buildings, with large floor space. The centers of the build 9s will be riding academies, while on each side and at the ends will be booths. Thus far both schemes agree. In one case. however, the booths will be free for manufactur- CTS, each to leave one or more ma chimes for actual use. Trained drie- CTS will be in attendance and will show>'the various makes impartially, setting forth their merits and de- merits. without giving any one make the preference. Intending purchasers may try the various machines in the academy, and, having settled on d choice, it will be sold to him by the attendant. There will be no fee for the purchaser; the company which sells the auto will pay a regular fixed commission. The second concern will contain practically the same features as the first, excepting that the stalls will be rented to manufacturers. Both concerns will contain a storage place for autos, which will be cared for at a fixed rate. A fully equipped repair shop will be fitted out and extra parts of all machines will be kept in stock, so that in case of a break down it will not be necessary to send to the factory, thus losing valuable lime

MINES AND MINING.

The first French collier.y was opened in 1722.
 At present each 100000 tons of coal raised costs one human life.
 There have been 2.1oO explosions in coal-mines in the last 50 years, involving a loss of $500 lives.
 Forty million tons year of coal is used in iron-making by England and America, 2o,Oo0,ooO by Germany and France.
 Austria and Germany are the only civilized countries where coal is cheaper at the pit-mouth than in England. It is a quarter dearer iu America, one-tllird dearer in Bel gium, half as dear again in France.
 A fire has been raging in a rich Pennsylvania coal-feld for 42 years, and the process of eNtinguishing it is expected to be complete in two years more. Immense drilling-ma- chimes have bored around it, and the holes are filled with culm, thus encircling the fire with an impene- tra ble barrier.
 At a sale of crown mining lands re- gently held in the Klondike man named Dawson purchased a claim on Gold Bottom for one dollar. He inn mediately began digging, and Snext week ended he had been offered $40,- GOO for the claim, but refused to sell at that figure.

dinary to represent the United States at the coronation of King Edward VII, which is to take place some time in June. The, admirable capacity of MT. Reid for such a. distinguished mis- sion is generally recognized. He served the president as special ambas- sador to the jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. He is a man of affairs with a wide experience of the world, exten- siveIy travelled, accustomed to deal with all kinds of eminent people and thoroughly familiar with the ways and the words of diplomats. In 1889 Mr. Reid accepted the mission to France and filled that function with great credit. It is now 34 years since he became connected with the New York Tribune, and in all that time he has been eminent in public affairs.

Safety of Ocean Travel.

The comparative, one might almost say absolute, security of ocean travel could not be better illustrated than in the latest trips of the Atlantic liners. X storm ragged, the fierceness of which passes all memory, and yet every ship came in. They were late, of course, all of them. Everyone of them had been battered with countless tons of water, hurled with immeasurable force, and time and again the mighty liners were tossed like corks upon the waves. But they conquered triumphantly Fasten- ings were torn from the decks and even propeller blades were lost, but they plowed steadily forward. There was diminution of speed, but they went on. That wonderful ma chine, the essence of power, known as the Atlantic liner, is superior to the tenn pest. The mind of man subdues. if not directs, the elements.-Marine Review.

WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS

A Detroit physician says that 75 per cent. of the people have a touch of con sumption some time in their lives.
 Measurements by an American mi croscopist to test the theory that the red blood corpuscles vary in size in diff ferent races have failed to show any marked differences.
 A iuryman gave some good advice to mothers at an inquest at Northwich concerning the death of child whose clothing caught fire from lighted stick hnng by another child. If people, he said, would only rinse clothing, after washing, in a solution of alum and wa ter, they would never take fire; if they game in contact with . flame they Mauld merely smolder. M 3vs

amount of use made of this material, but they expect the vogue for chifons to die early and give place tc ribbons and other forms of trim ming.
 One great and sufficient reason for this prophecy is that the fashion centers have been deuged with chiffons all through the winter. They have been used especially for evening wear, and the fashionable city woman tires of anything, no matter how appropriate becoming 1t may be, the chii- ions must go in the near future.
 A successful wholesaler, however, predicts that it is in the cities only that the chifons will lose their popularity. He says that in the smaller towns, where. as he puts it, peo- pie do not attempt to keep pace with the rap idly changing fashions, but follow in the wake, and from a month to three months be- hind the city styles. For this reason he be- lieves that chiffons will last through the sea son in the smaller cities and towns.
 He may be right. of course, but we do not believe that he is. The styles are, to be sure, manufactured in the cities, but it takes d very short time for the smaller towns to fol-

Future of BaImoraI.

Tn Scotland there will be keen and anxious desire to know whether the country is to have the good fortune to continue in intimate relation with the home life of the court. The queens in- tentions respecting Balmoral were not known outside of her most intimate circle, but it is certain that these in- tentions must have been to maintain the connection of the royal family with q residence so closely associated by it's relics, its cairns, it's every feature with her life. tis therefore natural to com lecture that it will pass to the king. No other member of the royal family could easily undertake its mainte- nance. .TAe Scotsman.

The Beautiful YhinSs,

Life's beautiful things are so many, So free to the humblest one. That even to count them for thoughts de-
 light,
 An, surely, we'd never be done! But only because of their plenty, Because they are ours when We will, We value them lightly as common and
 cheap,
 And our souls are unsatisfed stiE! Reaching out for the things of our dream
 ing,
 With vision so stubborn and blind, That the rapture which calls to us day by
 day
 Is too near for our seeking to find; Oh, the loss of it all, and the pity, And the yearning and hunger and pain, That We live in world full of beautiful
 things,
 The beauty of which we dsdain. Ripley D. Saunders, in St. Louis Re- public.

ss Years ago member of the Indiana iegislature in a brand new suit of broadcloth and a silk hat, gold-headed into the sanctum of the COurier-Jour- nal. stood around in listless way, looked over the papers, went down stairs and came back several times. He was asked to take a seat, which he declined elaborately, and ended by drawing his chair in q confidential way up to the Roundabout" mans desk.

The Seattle Republican., 1901-11-29

John Henry. the young cofored man,
who drifted into town last Friday aft
ernoOn, is now confined in the county
Jail with a charge of murder in the
first degree hanging over his head.
Henry says that he is 25 years of age,
and that he was born in Jefferson
county, N. Y. He has no parents liv-
ing, and was reared until he was 13 by
an uncle, who still lives in New York
state. Since he was Is he has battled
for himself and has drifted from pill
lar to post, with no object or aim i'll
the world save to have good time.
He has been West but few months.
He came to Seattle, as said before, last
Friday, and at nee sought the lower
end haunts. Last Saturday evening,
while in a concert hall, he became in
vOlved in an alteration with a bar
tender, and was roughly handled by
him. After he had been knocked
down, so he claims, and thrown out
of the room, he pulled a 38 revolver
and began firing at the bartender He
failed, however, to hit the bartender,
but did hit a bystander, who was in
stantly killed. The name of the un-
fortunate man was H. P. Kinney, who
has been resident of this city for
a number of years. Attorneys differ
as to the degree of the crime COM
mitted by Henry; some think it man
slaughter, others think it murder in
the first degree, others the second de-
gree, while his attorneys believe they
will be able to show that the man
shot in self defense. Henry looks
young for his age, and would impress
one as being mere boy, not over
18 years of age, if that.
