Europe Wants
Our Coal
RECOGNIZED AS A SUPER
TOR ARTICLE BY MANY
NATIONS.

Wales and France the labor demand is
gradually raising the price of coal, so,
even with occasional strikes in our
coal regions, We are not obliged to in
sert in a parenthesis "other things be-
ing equal" in calculating on the for
eign market for American coal. The
great trouble is not in the quality of
our coal or in the danger Of. strikes
here, but in the ocean freight rates and
the thoughtlessness of American coal
men, VINO fail to study European GUS
toms as to size of coal and the metri-
cal Aystem of measurement and analy-
sis.
Even in Russia American coal equal
to the best Welsh coal is selling for a
Slightly lower figure. Prices in Austria
are excessively high, and Italy, too, is
fe' 'ing the scarcity severely, having no
nj tive deposits. American coal is just
IL vading Spain and Algiers, and in
10th the consumers find it equal in
Quality to what they have been using.
Honesty and common sense in push
ing the American product are certain
to result in great European market
for both anthracite and soft coal for
gas and steam purposes.

The prospects,, as seen by impartial
observers after several months have
elapsed, indicate that American coal,
both anthracite and bituminous, is in a
fair way to win permanent demand.
Our consuls in Europe report that the
London gas companies are pleased with
their experiments with our gas coal.
Fifty per cent more gas has been
yielded per ton by some samples. Not
Withstanding a considerable margin in
favor of British coal in the matter of
prime cost, the demand for samples is
growing, and our anthracite coal, which
has been heretofore unknown in Eu-
rope, is found superior to any mined in
Great Britain. There is, however, a
disposition to insist on 20 to 80 per
cent of carbon, as European coal of
lower percentage than that is simply
inexhaustible.
France produces 100000 tons and
consumes 100000 annually. Hereto
fore she has imported from Great
Britain, Belgium and Germany. Car
diff coal does not break up into as
small Jumps as American coal does;
but Pocahontas coal gives almost equal
results for steaming purposes. In both

A Great Lover
of Children

Gov Marmaduke was a single
man." said Uncle Jose Fuller, an old
time resident Of Jefferson City, who
was telling the other day Of some of
the characteristics of Missouri's gov
errors. HE was a graduate of West
Point, stood six feet three, and had a
fine Confederate record as soldier.
Gov. Marmaduke didn't mix none in
society to speak of, and there were
mighty few shindigs for grown-up
folks at the mansion during his time,
but it was lively around there just the
same. The governor was simply crazy
about children. He loved 'em all until
they got into long dresses and trous-
ers, and the children had the run of
the house while he was in Office. On
festival occasions like Jackson's birth
day, which is always celebrated in Miz-
zoura, the governor gave a children's
party, at which he was the only adult
present. The children about ruined
the billiard table and the carpets in

II remember once meeting Gov. Mar
maduke on his return from trip to
New York. He told me he had bought
a magnificent picture to hang in the
mansion; said the place needed little
artistic toning up. Then he showed me
the picture, and what do you think it
was? Gen. Washington? No. Jubal
Early? No. Col. Mosby? I reckon not
by jugful! 1t was a copy of that
familiar painting of couple of little
children wearing paper soldier hats,
one playing trumpet and the other
beating a drum. The governor thought
it was one of the finest scenes ever de-
picted by an artist. 1t went right to
his great big heart to see those chill
dren playing at being soldiers, all in
nocent of the horrors Of battle, such as
he had witnessed during his stormy
career in the civil war"

A Correspondents Impressions of the

Lumbermen In the Field. "

A correspondent of an eastern manu-
facturers' journal who has spent a
month of travel and observation in the
south and southwest finds everywhere
in that part of the country a feeling
of prosperity with merchants and man
ufacturers, railroad men and planters,
farmers and men who work for days
wages. The impression prevails that
the good times now prevailing will not
end until there has been a develop
mcnt q the south's resources approach
ing the advance made in other parts
of the country. In Analysing the stu
alton the correspondent gives due cred
1t to 10-cent cotton, accompanied by a
diversification of crops. OF the needs
of the south the correspondent says:
In railroad building the south and
southwest now show great degree of
activity. but railroad building down
here is by no means complete. There
are several north and south trunk lines

ably will meet all requirements for
many years to come, but large acreas

cilitles. In many of those sections
there are vast forests of the finest tim
Der, minerals of great variety and COM
mercial value, and land which, when
cleared, will make as good farms as lie
outdoors. Already there are numer-
Gus undertakings on foot in the way
of building small branch lines to open
up tracts of the character named, and
it is evident that here will be rich

railroad constructors and real estate
operators. Take Mississippi as an H.
lustration. Off the line of the rail-
roads there are thousands and thou
sands of acres of timber, which will
cut from 10000 to 10000 feet to the
acre, and when cleared they will pro-
duce minimum of bale of cotton to

deposit, and like the famous black
lands of Texas, which now bring from
$50 to $50 per acre, these lands can be
worked for years without using any
fertilizers. The idle timber lands Of
this section alone offer opportunities
for almost illimitable profitable opera
tions. The distance between the devel-

states and the conditions which pre-

will remain in the oyercrowded east

ishing change has occurred within the
last five years. Five years ago timber
lands were almost drug in the real
estate market and any amount of good
lands could be bought for somewhere
around 81 an acre. Now one has to
hunt for bargains at anything less
than SIS an acre. Lumbermen from
Michigan and Wisconsin have come in
and bought up tracts by the tens of
thousands of acres; good yellow pine
lands are being but infrequently Of
fered and prices have jumped up to at
least 100 per cent all round. Five
years ago the red cypress men, who
were then feeling blue over the dull
condition of trade, agreed with a pro-
moter to sell out their holdings, plants
and all, for $7,OO0,OOO. Today these
same people, who compose about 80
per cent of those engaged in the red
cypress industry and own at least that
proportion of the available, merchant
able red cypress timber standing,
would hardly sell for 5000, 900, and
red cypress timber lands which could
be bought for Sc or less then are
snapped up now at $12 per acre."

II ever man had a genius for pulpit

yet DR.. Aliens memoirs bear repeated,
indisputable evidence Of the toll with
which he wrought at his sermons. The
explanation is to be found in two
causes. There was in him the con-
seriousness of an artist. One can see
this in such insignificant matters as
the character of his handwriting and
the finish of his ordinary expression,
as in familiar letters. He was not
merely man of taste exquisitely
modulated for the appreciation of all
forms of art, if music be excepted-a
not uncommon exception-but he had
