President VIM p. De Armitt, of the
Empire Coal mining Company, arrived
in the city from Pittsburg yesterday,
and registered at the Mcclure, where
he was in close consultation all day
with officials of the company. He was
interviewed by a Register reporter last
might, but appeared disinclined to talk.
when will the distribution of money
for the coal lands be made?" was ask
ed.
MY boy, there have been so many
promises and disappolntments that l
would rather not answer that question.
It's like the story of the women quar-
.reling over the preparation of the rab-
bit One suggested to cook it, another
TO broil 1t, and a third insisted that it
should be roasted. The fourth woman
interjected the remark that it might
be a wise plan to first get the rab-
bit"
President de Armitt said that the
company was making further investi-
cation of titles, and a~scertaining
whether the pieces of land are contig-
nous. The reporters suggested that he
thought this work had already been
done. Mr.. De Arnitt said it had been
done for the promoters, perhaps, but
not for the Empire Coal Co. He ex-
pected the work t o be completed by this
evening. He could not say where the
principal Office Of the company would
be located.
Mr.. C. s. Creamer anne in from st.
Clairsville yesterday. and presented the
officials with a final and satisfactory
report concerning abstracts and titles
and mortgages upon property.
President De Arnitt will probably De
in the city several days. The mortgage
which is to be placed upon the property
by the Empire Company was
not recorded in st. Clairsville yes
terday, and will not be, as a matter of
course, until all the work referred to by
President De Arnitt has been COM
plstcd.

HORSES KNEW THE NOON HOUR
rairof Animals That stopped Abrupt
Iy when the whistles Blew
and Got Their Dinner.

A pair Of intelligent horses attract
ed the attention of a large crowd on
Nassau street at noon one day late
ly, says the New York Sun. They
were attached to heavily loaded ice
wagon coming down the steep grade
between Cedar street and Maiden
lane, and were holding back the
wagon with a noticeable effort. When
they were half way down the whis-
ties blew for 12 o'clock. Suddenly
the horses drew in toward the curb
and began to plant their hind feet
forward to stop the wagon.
The driver made no effort to check
them, and their hard work at once
attracted notice. Pedestrians looked
at the horses and then at the driver,
who had broad grin on his face.
by hard work the wagon was stopped.
The driver sat still and watched his
animals One of them Immediately
began rubbing his head against the
neck of the other, and with mods and
pushes succeeded i'm rubbing his
bride off. Then the other took his
turn at rubbing, and his bride came
off.
Fully 200 persons had watched this
and when it was completed the driver
got down from his seat and swung
II bag of oats from over the nose of
each animal, They stood there and
ate their midday meal. The driver
was patient and proud of his team.

Line OF steamships to Run Direct
from Chicago to Liverpool and
European Ports.

On one of the very last days of
the nineteenth century, says W. d.
Hubert in Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly, the steamer Northwestern
was launched in the Calumet river
the first steamer ever built in Chi
cago for service on salt water. Three
other vessels exactly like her are now
on the stocks in the same shipyards,
and all of them will be completed be-
fore this article appears in print.
They are not remarkably large boats
about 260 feet in length and of
5000 tons burden-but they arc the
largest that can be used in the serv-
ice for which they were Designed
that of plying regularly between Chi
cago and European ports, reaching
the ocean by way of the Weland and
st. Lawrence canals. The scheme has
attracted a good deal of attention
because of obstacles and difficulties
which the steamers will have to en-
counter and which / shall attempt
to describe; but the officers of the
Northwestern Steamship company,
which is to own and operate them,
declare that they will make regular
trips from the head of Lake Michigan
, to the ports of Europe during the
season of lake navigation, making a
single voyage in about IS days. Dur
ing the winter months, when the
great lakes and the Gulf of st. Law
renee are blocked with ice, they will
be employed on the ocean. If this
programme is carried out-and there
seems good reason to believe that it
can be, in spite of all difficulties-th
season of 1901 will be memorable
one in Chicago's commercial history.

WOUNDED AND DISABLED
Soldier Back From Philippines and Finds
His Home Broken Up.

After being wounded three times
while serving Uncle Sam in the Phil :
ippines, Joseph Noll has returned to the
city. He saw 81 months of actual ser.
vice and spent IS months of this time
in our island possessions.
Two balls which struck the left
limb below the kneen. shattered the
bone and made Noll a cripple for life.
A third ball passed through his right
thigh, but did not make him lame.
During the preceding summer Gin
cinnati papers published an account of
Nolls death, but while he was griev-
ously wounded, these reports proved
to be incorrect. Domestic troubles
have been added to his other afflic-
tions. His wife was unsuccessful in
her effort to secure IA divorce and de-
parted from the city.
The returned soldier left yesterday
for Beverly to visit relatives.

DID PERsEUs ExpLoDEs
as to the New Light That
Has Appeared in the
Heavens.

We wonder If any person in the
world has been frightened by the ap-
pearance and disappearance of the
new star in Perseus, of which astron-
omers have recently made so much.
Somebody ought to have been, says
tho London Spectator. The new lighr
probably appeared because a sun had
exploded, or because two suns had col
lided, evolving temporarily an almost
inconceivable quantity of flame. If a
distant sun could explode, so could our
sun, and if two suns could collide, some
sun of which we know nothing may
be rushing at pace which the mind
does not grasp, though the brain can
calculate it, toward our own. There
should be something alarming to the
imaginative in that idea, but, so far
as we know. nobody has been alarmed.
The catastrophe in Perseus, whatever
its cause, must have occurred 80 years
ago to give the light time to get here,
and catastrophes so inconceivably dis
tant are outside the range even of the
Imagination. We read of them as we
read of quintiIlions, grasping the
words, but not the thoughts they are
intended to convey. The mass of man
kind. too. are protected against as
Economical alarms, not only by their
ignorance, but by two very steady be-
liefs. One, which is not quite reason
able, is that God, though He allows
railway collisions, will never allow
anything so big as an Astronomical
catastrophe-as if there could be.

the Infinite-and the other, which i
reasonable enough, is that if an astro-
nomical catastrophe affected sentient
beings at all. it must destroy all Of

MONTEZUMA'S WELL.
Pleasing Natural Curiosity in Ari-
zOnn That Hns IL Striking
Feature.

One of the most pleasing natural
curiosities in the territory of Arizona
is the pool of water known as Mon
tezuma's well, says the Native Amer
lean. 1t is situated IL miles north
east of the old, abandoned military
post known as Camp Verde. 1t is
ESQ feet in diameter, and the clear,
pure water is about 60 feet below
the surface of the surrounding coun-
try. Some years ago certain mill
tary officers sounded the pool and
found that it had uniform depth
of so feet of water, except in one
place, apparently about six feet
square, where the sounding line went
down about 500 feet without touch
ing bottom.
The well empties into Beaver creek
only about 100 yards distant, the water
gushing forth from the rocks as
though it were under great pressure.
The well is undoubtedly supplied
from subterranean sources, possibly
through the hole sounded by the army
officers years ago. The sides of the
well are honeycombed with caves and
tunnels, permitting sightseers to de-
scend to the waters edge.
Montezuma' well contains no fish.
The flow of water through it is the
same throughout the seasons. Popu-
lar opinion has attributed the origin
of the well to volcanic action, but as
;he rock surrounding it is limestone
1t is more than probable that the ac-
ton of the water is responsible for its
rreat tion

PARIS IS NOT COMMON.
The City Is Always Full of Strange

There are people who assert that of

What an error! 1t is still as pictur-

in the best days of its past, says the
Paris Messenger. Paris remains the
strange town where the most 'incredi-

most foolish dreams are realized and
where all that is good, bad and indif-
