Dickens Golden Dustman" is outdone
by the Diamond Dustman, the man who
makes fortune out of the heaps of coal
dust or culm which are found about the
coal mines in Pennsylvania.
A few years ago an ingenious young
man who was left without occupation
thought out the problem of utilizing these
banks. bought up one or two, and putting
his wits at work tried to separate their
contents into sizes of merchantabIe fuel
Much time. labor and expense was incur
rcd. Failure economically to separate the
useful components from the dross was
the result, until by adapting the hydrauI-
ic system, such as is used In Western min
ing. economy of handling resulted. and
this served the purpose of eXpedtiously
flushing the contents of the bank to the
SEPARATOR far better than any other known
method such as conveyors The result
has been that hundreds of thousands of
tons of good fuel have been sold from
these apparently worthless piles, to the
great fortune of the operator thereof.
The success attained here has brought
the attention of others to the subject.
and now in many places there are So
called washeries and millions of tons are
annually marketed.

siderable figure in shipments until about
fifteen years ago. .buckwheat' within

that the domestic sizes. such as chestnut

MR.. M,KINLEY,s FIRST SPEECH.
Delivered From n Dry Goods Box in
New Berlin, Ohio.

On a dry goods box, four feet long,
three feet wide and three feet high. Pres
ident Mckinley made his first political
speech in the little town of New Berlin,
way back in IS. The box stood in front
of house which has since burned down,
and just inside the gate of a wooden
fence within 100 feet of the four corners
of the business centre. The man who in
troduced him TO his first audience lives
in a new brick house, built within ten
feet of the location of the dry goods box
which supported the President on that
memorable night. The benches in front
of the postoffice, next door. furnish a
resting place for the old politicians who
here gather to get their mail daily and
talk over the most notable event in New
Berlin's history, made notable by the
achievement of the boy orator. Mckinley.
in succeeding years.
Can you make speech?" said Michael
Bitter to William Mckinley when the
speaker arriver from Canton ready to fol-
low Judge Underhill upon the improvised
stage. Michael Bitter was the chairman
of the meeting. He is now eighty-three
introduced Mckinley as if it were a hap
pening of yesterday. The Someyhat un-
expected remark of the chairman of the
meeting to the young man who was to
make his debut before a large audience
rather took his breath away for mo-
ment, but, on the assurance of Judge I'm
derhill that Mr.. Bitzer meant no offence
he regained his pleasant face. showing the
kind disposition which is so characteris-
tic of him today.
Gould he speak?" said Michael well,
should say he could. Everybody was
simply dumfounded. For nearly an hour
he talked as never a young man in Stark
county had talked before l :old Judge
Underhill. who accompanied him, after
the meeting, that Mckinley did blamed
sight better than he did, and the Judge
too pronounced him a coming politician.
II really was surprised when Judge I'm
derhill introduced that young strip of
boy to me, saying that he had come to
who was unable to be present. OF course
1 only asked Mckinley in joke if he
could make a speech. l spoke to him
much as l would to boy. but 1 really did
have my doubts about such a young man
doing justice to the occasion"
Mr.. Bitter introduced him as William
Nc f<inley. of Canton. He little thought
he was introducing the coming President
of the United States.
Mckinley arose and looked over his au-
dience. There was not a sign of the emo
tion on his part which usually attends the
hrst speech of speaker. In stature he
was not portly and strong like he is to-
day. In fact. he wasn't even as tall.
But" says Mr. Bitter. las | remember
him, the same strong characteristics
life within the last few years stood out
forcibly on that night"
He spoke under the glimmer of the
street lighted by oil lamps, for that was
before the days of electric lights. His
strong personality and his kindly manner
His hearty handshake, his pleasant smile.

nifty and strength of purpose to develop
