GOVERNMENT DEFENsES.
Annual Report Regarding Condition
of FOrtifications Throughout
the Country.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The annual
report of Gen. G. L. Gillespie, chief
OF engineers of the United States
army, presents comprehensive view
CT the condition of Notifications
throughout the country. After CIV
ing list of the 81 points at which
projects for permanent sea coast de-
lenses have been adopted, the re-
Port says that the defense of the
great lakes and the ST. Lawrence is
under consideration, and also that
projects for defenses for Porto Rico,
Hawaii, Guam, Manila and Subig bay
have been approved by the secretary
of war.
According to the report the sea
coast defenses are now somewhat
more than so per cent. completed.
Twenty-Five of the principal har-
bors of the United States have a suf-
fcient number of heavy guns and
mortars mounted to permit an effec-
tive defense against naval attack, and
during the past two years considera-
BILE progress has been made in the in
stallation of an adequate rapid-fire
armament, now the matter of first
Importance. The existing projects
comprise $50 heavy guns of eight
inch, ten-inch and 12-inch calibers;
1924 rapid-fre guns from 2.24-inch to
siX-inch caliber, and 544 mortars.
The total cost for the engineering
| work is estimated at $4,000, 900, in
Guiding what has been completed as
well as what remains to be done.
Recommendation is made that au-
thority be given for the resumption
Of the manufacture of mortars, which
it is claimed are an effective defense
within their range. Up to the pres
ent time provision has been made for
emplacing 331 heavy guns, 4s3 rapid
fire guns and 376 12-inch mortars.
During the past year the addition to
the completed armament of the coast
amounted to eight 12-inch guns; three
eight-inch guns, 20 rapid-fire guns and
81 mortars. 1t is intended to devote
the appropriation of last June to the
construction of emplacements for two
12-inch guns, four 10-inch guns, 40
six-inch guns and SO 15-pounders. Re-
port is made of sites purchased dur
ing the year and an appropriation of
100000 for the purpose of securing

Probably Murder.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 31.-A Sentinel
special from Palmyra, Wis, says:
"What is supposed to have been one
of the most diabolical murders ever
committed occurred at three o'clock
Thursday morning, when the home of
William Wickingson, three miles
southeast of this place, was burned
to the ground, after it is thought the
three occupants had been robbed and
murdered. The names of those whose
charred remains were found in the
ruins are as follows: William Wick

look after the fire and see to it that
it does not die down and asphyXiate
the people in their beds. In case of
all night usage soft coal is danger
Gus, and this fact cannot be too wide
ly disseminated. OF course, in kitch-
en- ranges or in base-burner stoves
the amount of coal used is never
sufficient to cause serious danger. 1t
is in the big furnaces that danger
lies. Nevertheless, if soft coal is
used for alI-night fires in ranges and
base-burners, the drafts must be left
open SO that there may be no liza
bility of the fire dying down and
causing the atmosphere breathed in

en- are helpless as newborn babes
when they are sleeping.
Some housewives complain that
they mTst make new fires every
morning with soft coal, but wise
ones say that it is much better to
make fires every morning than to
have no fuel at all. Moreover, the
coke used for previous fires need not
be removed. just shake down the
fine ashes and make new fire on
what remains. Those who can secure

Generous EMPLOYER,

Practical recognition of the prin-
ciple so generally recognized in
theory, that the interests of the en-
ployer and employee are reciprocal, if
not identical, was afforded last night
by Charles j. Swanson, proprietor of
the Northwestern Fire PROBING Works.
In celebration of his silver wedding
Mr.. Swanson presented to each of
nine employees that have worked for
him more than twenty years deed
for forty acres of rich farming lands
in Onoka county. The value of the
gifts was at least $500.

Wiz price Oh gas IN the DtStr1ct
Ct Columbia is fixed by law,
and Incorporation possessing
the monopoly cannot increase the
price under any circumstances.
The prices of coal and all grades
of oil, Icing determined by the dealers,
have eeen raised SO rapidly and so
high that it is almost impossible for
the poor, the very poor, to secure ar
tlticial heat or. light during these
melancholy days, the saddest of the
year"
Anthracite coal is almost unobtain-
able because of the protracted strike.
Twenty-Five dollars per ton is the
price now fixed here; dealers will
only deliver a quarter of a ton at a
time, ind then only to their regular
customers. Coke, which is mere
finder, is sold at SIS per ton, and the
demand for it is enormous. Soft coal
is being used, and even that kind of
fuel is scarce, the price being $12 to
SIS Pc. ton.
Gas stoves and ranges of all kinds
and sizes are being purchased and
set up in the residences of those
who can afford to use gas, and the
company is increasing its daily man
ufacture of gas, with the expectation
that during the winter their, product
will constitute the principal fuel OF
thousands of people here, because OF
the failure of the coal supply.
President Baer, of the Philadel-
phia & Reading railroad, the man who
represented the aggregated wealth
of the mine owners at the recent
white house conference, has supplied
500 tons of best anthracite coal for
the public schools of the national
capital, at the ordinary rate of six
dollars per ton, and all of that coal
is now here under cover. 1t was
dumped at the yards of prominent
coal dealer, and guarded by details
of policemen from the moment of it's
arrival until the present. Every day
wagon loads of it are being carried
to the bins of the different schools,
where it will be guarded by special
watchmen. The public schools had
already secured 500 tons of soft coal
anu l,OUu IONS OIL COKE. Ii Is cSGl-
mated that this supply will be suffi-
.cient for the schools until the Christ
mas holidays. In the meanwhile eff
forts will be made in various direc-
tons to secure another supply which
will enable the commissioners to keep
the schools comfortable, so that the
little ones will not be obliged to
give up their supply of education.
In all of our homes the house
wives are studying the fuel problem,
and the wage-earning husbands are
giving it their consideration also.
Some OF our scientific men in the de-
partment of agriculture have been
experimenting with soft coal and
coke, with the result that they claim
to be able to get along very well
without hard coal. They put in a
layer CT kindling, layer of coke and
then j layer of soft coal. The coke
keeps the soft coal from packing,
gives il solidity, and makes room for
the passage of the air draughts.
While in the use of anthracite coal
it is necessary to leave open some of
the top drafts, or hampers, to dead
en- the fire, these must always be
closed in the use of soft coal, or the
house will be filled with gases. Dur
ing the night, where soft coal is used
in furnaces, there must be a watch

Brief Notes.

The weekly smallpox report for the
state shows twenty-eight cases of the
disease and no deaths.
James Bennett, head miller for the
Kensington Mill Company, lost his
life by being smothered in a shorts
bin. The shorts stopped running and
it is probable were banked around a
vacant space over the hopper, so that
when Mr.. Bennett stepped into the
bin the shorts covering the vacant
space gave way and he dropped to the
bottom, the sides of the banked
shorts falling in and covering him.
The body was not discovered for two
hours.

A Resubmission Bill.

On NJ onday night Delegate Sellmsn, OF this
county, introduced in the lie islature q bill
providing for the resubmisson OF the local
option question by districts to a direct vote, at
q special election to be held on the first Tues
day in June.
The bill has two distinct features, one in
favor OF prohibition aud the other for a license
system. For districts as cast majority vote
for prohibition the present local option law
is amended so as TO make 1t very much more
stringent than che existing law; the punish
ment for violation is fred at from three TO six
months In the House Of Correction in place Of
the fine or imprisonment system; Internal Rev
enue tar certificates are made prima iAcie ev-
idence OF guilt; the Sheriff and his deputies
are given power TO enter and search any
building where they may have reason to be-
lieve the law is violated provision is made
that any vendor shall be liable in damages 10
any husband, wife, parent, child, employee
or other persons injured by reason OF any
person being intoxicated by liquor sold in vi
olation Of the law; Justices Of the Peace are
given the same authority 10 receive informa-
ton Of violations Of the law and to take re-
cognizaness and bail or commit as now exer-
csed by them under general laws the meth
cd OF indictment and conviction is simplihed
by making it sufficient II the indictment sets
liquor, without specifying the particular kind
as now required.
The other feature Of the bill provides for
license system in such districts as cast ma
jority vote for license. A liquor license board
lie established, consisting OF two Democrats
and one Republican-namely, Charles H.
Griffith, William K. Mannakee and Charles
Y. Kirk, who shall hold Office during good
behavior, any vacancy occurring in the board
to be filed by the Cover OF the State The
board will receive rs compensation the same
per diem allowances as are now received by
the Judges Of the Orphans Court. Any per-
con desiring TO take out q license shall file
with the board q petition stating that fact
and the premises, also the certificate Of tea
citizens residing 10 the election district or
10 the corporate limits Of the town 10 which
the place to be licensed is located, In which
such signers shall set forth their belief that
the applicant will keep an orderly house and
duly observe all the provisions Of the law.
No person will be allowed to sign for more
than one applicant in any one year. The APP
plicant must make oath that he will comply
with the provisions Of the law. Upon the
receipt OF such papers the board will adver-
tise the substance Of any petition specifically
stating the premises and q time when the
board will hear objections TO the granting oil
such license The judgment OF the board
will be final. The board may, in the exercise oil
its discretion, refuse to issue license 10 any
