MAY LAUGH AT COAL BILLS.

Boston, Sept. l2.-John Simonds of
Melrose may laugh at his neighbors
who are worrying over the prospective
size of the winter coal bills, for all
he needs to do is to wheel a barrow
out into his own back yard and dig
peat by the ton Mr.. Simons has
known since he bought his Melrose
farm, eighteen years ago, that one
patch of meadow land at the back Of
the house was a peat bog. But he
never thought of making use of the
peat until the present coal situation
reminded him of the fuel ready at his
hand. He found it worked we'll in
One generally associates the use of
peat as fuel with the peasant folk of
Ireland. In that country peat is
common fuel, AS matter of fact,
however, peat has been used to CON
siderable extent in some parts of this
country. In its early days the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad used to run
its engines with peat, and large
quantities of peat were cut for this
purpose from the very bog now owned
by Mr.. Simonds

AMONG THE LIONS,

W. A. Stowell returned on Friday from
a visit to Lacona and Weirs, n. II.
During his visit he touched elbows with
several national celebrities. While at
tending the fair at Laconia, he met Carrie
Nation of Ratchet and saloon-smashing
fame. His impressions of the lady were
that she was rather broad between the
eyes and very narrow in her ways.
On Thursday evening Mr. Stowell met
Admiral Schley and party at a reception
given the Admiral by DR.. Greene of
Nervura fame. On Friday morning, the
the Admiral ond Mrs Schley left for Bos-

MILDRED HOLLAND

Mildred Holland has come and gone
and left in Montpelier a most pleas
ing impression. No one could have
asked more enthusiastic reception
than was given her in her play, "The
Power Behind the Throne" She
held her audience throughout the
evening, never once permitting the
fascination of aria to lessen, from
the time when laughing innocent
girl in her fathers garden, to the
moment when, the picture of outrag
ed innocence, she stood towering
above her opposite in the shape of
the Countess grovelling at her feet.
This was, perhaps, the most absorb
ing moment in the entire play-yet
more than once her audience waited
with bated breath her next move
ment, so powerfully real did her act
ing make it all seem. Her support
was excellent, the old man, Aria's
father, her lover, the Baron, and the
Countess being the strongest, though
the entire cast seemed particularly
adapted to make up the perfection of
the whole. The scenery was elaborate
and the costumes certainly gorgeous
enough to satisfy the beholders
The reporter was granted an inter
view with Miss Holland in which she
laid aside for the time the role of
actress and chatted affably of her for
eign tour where she, too, was disap-
pointed by the postponement of King
Edwards coronation, and of the
beautiful city of Venice which she
reached with her party a few days
after the fall of the Campanile, in
a way that caused her visitor to
leave her with reluctance.
She spoke, also, of her plays with an
earnestness that left no doubt as to
her love for her work, with every de-
tail of which she is familiar, and her
desire that it should reach the utmost
perfection She said Montpelier
was beautiful and regretted that she
could not visit the home of Admiral
Dewey, for whom she felt the greatest
admiration, but she wished to appear
at her best in the evening and must
reserve her strength. She was much
pleased with her audience and frankly
expressed the hope that Montpelier peo-
pie would like her and that atsome time
later she might appear herein another
play 1.-THE Prince and The Lily. "If
the frequent and prolonged calls for
her temperance were evidence of the
appreciation of her audience her wish
to please must have been.gratitied, for
the curtain was drawn again and again
after some of the most thrilling
scenes. She will certainly meet
cordial welcome on her return to
Montpelier, be it soon or late.

JAMES NJ. KENT

James Madison Kent, an old resident
of Montpelier, died on Saturday at the
Heaton hospital.
The deceased was taken i'll at the home
of A. n. Blanchard about seven weeks go
andlfor the past two weeks has been at
the hospital. The cause of death was a
general breaking down.
Mr.. Kent was born in Calais in Deem
bes, 1921 and for over half century has
been well known in this city and vicinity
AS a teacher of handwriting. at which he
was an adept, and at one time he was in
structor in Goddard Seminary.
He was unmarried and very reticent in
his manners. He spent considerable time
and money on inventions of his own
and others, in the success of which he was
very sanguine but the returns proved
very meager
Three sisters survive, Mrs. Caroline
Palmer of Calais, Mrs. Martha w. Bonney
and Mrs. Nancy A Tracy of Mattapois-
cite, Mass.
The funeral held was at ten
o'clock on Monday morning from the YES
try of the Church of the Messiah of which
society MIR. Kent was one of the original
members. Rev. } Edward Wright Of
ficiate and burial was in Calais.

once to Colon and there watch the
progress of the instruction. 1t is
feared here that trouble will develop
at Panama owing to the presence
there of four revolutionary gun
boats, and an effort may be made to
lombard Panama and force the gov
eminent forces there to evacuate.
The surrender of 1000 men of the
government forces at Aqua Dulce
shows the weakness of the govern
ment, and it may be that the revolu-
tionists have at last gained sub
stantial victory. The latest report
from Panama showed that they were
moving upon the railroad and there
is reason to believe they intend ad-
vancing simultaneously upon both
Panama and Colon.
Washington, Sept. 2.-The navy de-
partment received the following,
dated September II, from Commander
Potter of the gunboat Ranger at
Panama: "Revolutionists are near
railroad line and the situation is
serious. The transit across the 18th.
mus is still open. - The Cincinnati
will arrive at Colon on Sunday.

ENORMOUS SHORTAGE OF COAL

New York, Sept 1.-THE annual
report of the New York, Ontario &
Western Railway Co.. for the year
ended June 80 last, issued Saturday,
contains many references to and state
ments regarding the coal strike.
j. E. Childs, general manager, in
his part of the report, discusses the
strike and its effects on the COM
pany's earning power. He says
The total output of anthracite coal
by all companies for the year 1901
was 53, $685. 601 tons, an increase of
s, 46l, III tons as compared with previ-
GUS years EsssaHASa ma. .A-.. ssa a8
The strike of the United Mine
Workers, which occurred May 10,
caused an entire suspension of mining
until the close of the fiscal year, caus-
ing very material reduction i'll this
company's tonnage. AT this date
august 12) the strike is still on, and
the total production of anthracite
coal by all companies has probably
been reduced by reason of the strike
about ID, 800, 900 tons, which, with
the reduction in output in February
and March, caused by floods, will
at least 10, 900, 600 tons so

suspension of mining continue another
month the shortage will approximate
