Washington, d. c., Aug. 31.-Ex-
perts of the United States Geological
Survey are greatly interested in the
developments of the California and
Beaumont oil fields and are studying
it's relation to the future production
of fuel coal It is pretty well settled,
for the present, that there will he no
extensive refining of either California
or Texas oil. but the fight between
oil and coal as fuel for the far West
has already begun, and the experts In
Washington are observing the con-
test in it's economic bearings. There
seems to be no doubt here that coal
consumption in the Southwest and
West is seriously menaced, and that
some of the coal mines of the West
may be seriously affected later OH.
This will depend somewhat however,
on the extent of the Beaumont and
California fields. which is still a mat
ter or some mystery. The Beaumont
producers have not commenced to
market their product in anything like
normal quantities yet, but their pre-
parations are on a large enough scale
to leave no doubt that as soon as they
can construct pipe lines. oil tanks,
tank cars and barges they will enter
into deadly competition with coal for
steam purposes.
If the action of the Texas Railroad
Commission stands, with regard to the
rates on coal and oil, Texas and In
dian Territory coal have hard road
to travel, and the same may be said
of Arkansas coal. From reports on
file in the Geological Survey, Alabama
coal seems to be threatened also.

OHIO VALLEY NOT AFFECTED.

or course. it is not assumed, by the
Government experts that the coal
mines in the west and the south are
to be destroyed by the advent of oil
as fuel, but they assert that the full
development of the California and
Texas fields will likely curtail coal
production in this area, and largely
reduce the profits of coal mining. AS
for the soft coal fields of Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio and West Virginia, it is not
believed they will I've seriously affect
ed by the oil, either in the tonnage
production or the price AS a rule,
the coal fields of these states are too
near their market to be affected by oil
produced so far away.
1t is realized that California and
Texas oil is going to have great
fight with coal men, and the transpor-
tation companies prior to annihila-
tion OF the coal industry in the South
and Southwest. and 1t is quite likely
that some agreement will be reached

Was Saved by AguiuaIdO'S
wife.

OpcCldl W Lllc LSducE.
Denver, Col, Aug. 31.-Manila
would have been captured and burn
ed and the inhabitants massacred if it
had not been for the bravery of one
woman--the wife of Aguinaldo. There
was a well-planned scheme year ago
last May for general uprising Of the.
set fires in various parts of the sub
urbs, series of fires which would
divert the attention of the guards,
and, while they were busy extinguish-
| ing these fires in outlying sections the
insurrectos were to storm the city.
Orders had been given for whole
sale massacre of men, women and
| children.
All this was prevented by the 10y
atty and devotion of Mrs. Aguinaldo,
who at the risk of her life betrayed
the plans to the officers in the city.
Mrs. Aguinaldo had some time pre-
viously been taken prisoner and much
| to her surprise was very kindly treat
cd. Possibly it was kinder treatment
than she had ever received before in
her life. The time came when she
could repay it a thousandfold, and
she did it though discovery meant
death to her. The plot naturally was
| discussed in her presence, and she
gave full information to the army Of
| ficcrs, thus preventing the most hor
rible massacre of modern times.
| The facts have been we'll known in
army circles, but have been kept sac
redly secret on account of the danger
to Mrs. Aguinaldo in case the insur-
rectos discovered them.
These facts have not been published
| before in any paper or history, and
were made public for the first time
by Miss l.. NJ. Owen, member of the
American Scientific Association, who
was in Manila at the time.
Miss Owen was the guest of an Off
GERS wife, Mrs. Koehler, q niece of
Miss Susan u. Anthony and both lad
| les were in the city during the entire
time of the danger. Miss owen said:
1T was like living over volcano
| We knew our servants were involved
! Time after time was set for the mas
sacre, but after the officers were once
on their guard the danger was not SO
| great. | think we ladies did not real
ize how much danger we were in, for
the Officers were SO calm about it all
1t is not generally known that the
wife of Aguinaldo was the one who
saved us the first attack On her ac-
count 1t has been kept very quiet.
THE insurrectos had planned to
massacre every one, including women
and children. 1t was intended, how
ever, to keep some of the women pris-
oners, as the natives believed the Am
ericans would agree to any terms
which the insurrcctos might make in
order to release them. This first in
formation was verified day or two
later by a Spanish lady who over
heard her servants discussing the
plans. She Immediately informed The
AntOricans, for the Spanish in the
city realize that the natives must be
controlled by some civilized nation,
and If the Americans were to leave it
would be impossible for any foreign
ers 10 live there

Lexington, Ky. June 1.-The Cts Cooper Shop burned this afternoon and the fire communicated to other buildings so rapidly that it was feared for some time that the city would be lad in ashes The fire was beyond control from to D. m. Twenty-three houses, mostly tene- ment. were totally destroyed. with their contents. The loss approximates sSo,O0O Only about one-third of the property was insured
 St. Joseph Hospital was at one time threatened. The citizens rushed in great numbers to rescue the inmates, but their services were not needed. as the fire de partment cut off communication of the flames with the hospital Paris, George aid and all held their departments in readiness, but they were not needed. At o'clock the flames were under control.
 Many are homeless and were cared for tonight. Three other calls were made for the department in other parts of the city while the flames were raging, out the damage in each instance was trivial. One man was hurt and one child was seriously burned. but no lives were lost. J. A. grocery, Perkins's livery stable, the Vest ern Hotel. owned and used as a residence by Mrs Bridget shannon, and H. P. Shepherds Stephen Boles's and E. 0. Vaughn's two-story brick residences were the most valuable buildings.
 The other buildings were brick and frame cottages. They were occupied by poor families, who are now in distress. - The fire originated in negro's cottage from defective fiue. A furious wind was blowing and the fire spread with such rapidity that little household property was saved. Several children were seri- ously, but not fatally burned.

SHE SANG JUST THE SAME.
Even Despite the Protests of an Un-
 appreciative Audience.

St. Louis Republic.
 Senator Vests most famous anecdote is that of Miss Bereie Allendale. Jt was told when the two chambers were arrayed against each other on the tariff of 1894, and the House was in- sisting that the country would go without any tariff act unless the Sen ate were prepared to forego it's own schedule and adopt those of the House.
 Tn my younger days out West. , said Mir. Vest, T went into a variety theater one night.
 Miss Bertie Allendale.' remarked the stage manager. appearing in one of the interludes. who has entranced two hemispheres with her wonderful vocal powers. will now render in her own in imitable style that exquisite vocal se- lection, entitled Down in the Val ley."'
 "A gentleman in a led flannel shirt arose in the midst of the audience and exclaimed in an impressive bass voice. oh. thunder! Miss Allendale can't sing for green apples
 "Irhe manager. who had started 10 leave the stage, halted and turned. All ugly light flashed from the eye which swept the audience. and finally rested on the face of the interrupter. Raising one shoulder higher than the other. and letting one hand drift significantly toward his hip pocket and thrusting his neither jaw forward in a savage way. he observed with a deliberateness which emphasized every syllable:
 'Neverthless and notwithstanding, Miss Bertie Al!endale will sing Down in the Valley."'
 And she did. So. likewise. never theless and notwithstanding, the Sen ate schedules will stand"

For the same period l,016 petitions in involuntary bankruptcy were filed, this being slightly in excess of the average for the past two years and half.
 A large percentage of those taking ad- vantage of the voluntary feature of the law are old insolvents seeking this means of resuscitatlng themselves in the busi- ness world. During the past six months closed. In these the total liabilities, di- rect and contingent, have been $A, ,955, ,097, while the net assets realized for distri- button as dividends have been s, ,5S7, AZ.

St. Paul. June By a unanimous vote. although with small attend once, the American Medical Associa- tion this afternoon adopted a report indorsing the movement for the re-es- tablishment of the army post canteen. The Committee on Legislation, through the Chairman. Dr. J. H. Johnson, pre- scented q report reciting the resolutions adopted by the military surgeons last week. and continuing:
 We have carefully cons cred the resolution proposed and declare 1t to be wise ard proper and of importance to every citizen of the -epublic.
 "The resolution is the outgrowth of careful study and observance by the medical department of the United States ary; Is concurred in by the commenting officers at the several posts. and is intended to correct seri- ous abuses under the present law, which result is drunkenness, irsubCrdi- ration. dishonorable discharge, crime. poverty an appalling increase in vene- real disease and invalidism srntng the soldiers of the United States army.
 We find that the experience of for eign governments coinci6es with that of the National Association of Military Surgeons in the necessity for the army post exchange or cantee1.
 "We recommend that the American Medical Association adopt the resolu- ton proposed, and that 1t petition the Congress of the United States to re- peal at the earliest moment the chtec- tionable law which prohibits the army post exchange"

OLD RUINS ARE HIS DELIGHT.
Swedish Explorer Has Made Valuable Discoveries in Ancient Cities.

Chicago Chronicle.
 The Swedish explorer, Dr. Sven He din, has made valuabfa additions to the present day knowledge of ancient peoples and their homes. He is now on his second tour of exploration in the least known parts of Central Asia. He is not only distinguished as an Orl- ental scholar in archaeology and philol- ogy, but he is a geologist, an astron- omer, zoologist. botanist, a geog- rapher, a surveyor and competent artist, while at the same time he wields the pen of a ready and skillful writer. His accomplishments are so many, so varied and so remarkable that none of the titles ordinarily applied to men of learning meets his case. His natural history collections, as well as his other collections made in the ,In- dies, are of exceptional value.
 Dr. Sven Hedin was thoroughly and admira bly, prepared for his exploring work before he began 1t. It was more than twelve months ago that he set out from Kashgar on his second tour. and it. was his design to get back to Eu- rope early in the present year, after he had explored the sources of the Indus.
 It is already known that, rich as were the results of his former journey, they have been far surpassed by those of a more recent time, and the record of them will undoubtedly be of ex- traordinary interest. He has collected not only the tales and traditions, but also many relics of the ruined cities he has seen.
 It was at pr. Hedin's suggestion that the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, made his visit a few months ago to ast Nf pIlr Province of Bombay. for the purpose of examiping the historic architecture of ancient India. Though the city is less known than almost any other Mo hammedan ruins, it is said to excel them all in beauty, some of the edihces having been even grander than the AL hambra of Spain. 1t was once re- nowned for its palaces, temples. towers, tombs and walls. at the sight of which, an inscription declares, Heaven It. self wondered" But the hordes pf Marathas fell upon it at its most brilliant period, played havoc with its glories, reduced it to desoiation and slew multitudes of it's inhabitants, though it had a population of more than a million.
 When the region and the place were brought directly under British rule. about half century ago, there were but a few thousand people at Bijapur, and Lord Curzon found during his re- cent visit that the remaining parts or some of the most splendid palaces and tombs had been fixed up" so as to adapt them for use as Jafs, courts and government offices. "The spider. so sang the poet of old, weaves us web on the tomb Of Yusuo; the owl stands sentry there."
 When Lord Curzon visited the ruins, which Dr. Sven Hedin had previously known of, he exprt ssed the hope that it might yet be in his power to do some thing to restore the name and promote the revival of the desolated city of Bi- japur, once renowned as the Queen City of the Deccan." And already the restorers are ready for such service as they can render.

HOW SHE KEEPS HER YOUTH.
Sarah Bernhardt's Physician Tells
 the Secret of Her Beauty.

Perhaps Sarah Bernhardt is not beautiful, but she certainly has a youthful appearance. No one seeing her on the itage would suspect that she Is on the shady side of 90, but she Is. Her physician has been telling how the distinguished actress has pre- served her good looks-that $. he has given to the public a copy of the rules he has prescribed for her guidance. and which, he says. she follows pune tillously. Never, he says. If you use powder. use white powder. particu- lsrly in country where electric light ie used. It gives the face a Ghastly expression. A creamy white powder should be used by the woman of deli cate complexion. pink tinted powder for the woman of 1eeper tones and brown tinted powder for the brown tinted skins. The powder must be Of the purest vegetable compound and must always be prece led by the appli~ cation of some good cream. And this cream must not only be good in itself, but suited to the skin of the woman who uses it. and there are creams and creams and skins and skins. Some parts of the country, notably Newport with the soft dampness of the air. are 6 great help to the preservation of beauty and fine. soft skins, and the physician or the dlVlne Sdrdn says that such air-he mentions that of Eng land especially-is natural tonic for the complexion.
 In less satisfactory locations there are women who use powder as a com pleXion projector. but this must be removed at night. It Is said--and it is just possible with truth-that the beauty of the .onplexions of many women on the stage Is due to the act i've circulation of the blood produced by the massage which is necessarily used in removing the makeup daily from the face, with the application of soft creams to aid the good cause, and the consequent cleanliness of the face. It would surorise many women If they could see what a benefit to the com plexion Is daily thorough washing of the face in warm water, with very pure soap If there is much exposure to the dust of the streets soft father should )e rinsed off with more warm water. every particle of tke soap being gently removed and the water Gra h. ally cooled.
