1t has been predicted that the bulk of the coal

century. Englands supply will not last nearly
so long. And natural gas and fuel oil will
doubtless be exhausted even sooner Without

WHAT A SWITCHMAR DOES,
While Not Often Praised in Print,
His Work is Responsible.

A railroad switchman is often in
peril of his life. The poetry Of mo-
ton surrounds with a halo those who
move. The stage driver and the loco
motive engineer have a local follow.
ing and are worshipped from afar by
a host of admirers. Ii Is the engine
man who gets the credit for the fast
runs, not the fireman who keeps the
engine in steam, OF the mechanical en-
gineer whose brain devised the i'm.
provements in the machine. The mas
ter mechanic and the roundhouse fore
man, whose careful attention and good
discipline keep the engine in order
receive only a negative amount Of
credit; If anything goes wrong they
hear of It, The fireman comes in for
some Of the glamour and glory, for
like the conductor and brakeman, he
runs on the road" The men who
switch in the yard" are also among
the elect, for their vocation brings
them constantly in the face of death.
A "switchman" to the rank and file
is not the switch tender who merely
throws switches for approaching
trains. A "switchman throws
switches" but not in any hxed loca-
ton, and more distinctly he cuts em
on Cuncouples cars), goes after em"

able trains

the pay-rolls as a yard conductor, +"
but the men cling TO the old appella-
ton Of foreman or pony conductor"
His assistants, to whom his word Is
law, are officially designated yard

has failed thus far TO supplant the good

AGUINALDO'S WIFE
Said to Have Prevented a General
Massacre in Manila.

Miss L. M. Owen, a member Of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, was in Manila in May,
1900, and says that Manila would have
been captured and burned and the in
habitants massacred If it had not been
for the bravery Of one wOman-the
wife of Aguinaldo.
There was a well-planned scheme a
year ago last May for a general upris-
ing of the natives in Manila, she says.
"The plan was to set fires in various
parts OF the suburbs, which would d.
vert the attention of the guards, and
while they we're busy eXtinguishing
these fires in outlying sections the in
surgents we're to storm the city. Or
ders had been given for a wholesale
massacre of men, women and children.
Ayy this was prevented by the loyalty
and devotion Of Aguinaldo's wife. who,
at the risk of her life, betrayed the
plans to the officers in the city. She
had some time previously been taken
prisoner and, much to her surprise,
was very kindly treated The time
came when she could repay Il a thou.
sand.fold, and she did IT, though dis.
covery meant death to her. The plot
naturally was discussed in her pres
ence and she gave full information to
the army officers, thus preventing the
most horrible massacre Of modern
times
"The facts have been we'll known in
army circles, but have been kept sa.
credly secret on account Of the danger
to Mrs. Aguinaldo in case the lnsurg
ents discovered them"

GRAND JURY HONESTY.
