GETS MUCH HEAT
OUT OF PAPER,

In these days of fuel it may be in
teresting to know how ono thrifty
housekeeper, with more leisure than
money, has warmed her house for
years during the two weeks or so in
the fall and spring when heat is
needed in the morning and evening
only. She uses old newspapers, and
prepares them into fagots For the
furnace she tears the paper in half,
doubles each half together, and
twists it tightly. For the fireplace
heater she separates the sheets,
crumplcs each together and finishes
by giving slight twist, while for
CRATE that is sometimes used in a
north room, she merely gives tho
paper close crumple. She finds it
better to prepare the fuel pretty
near the time of using it, as it burns
better if it has not been allowed to
gather dampneSs. This fuel is pre-
pared at odd times, usually at dusk,
by the mistress and her children,
and is kept in huge bags made of
cast-otf garments, and these form
measures for the amounts needed
A broad paper is often used for
this purpose, but the paper is not
only tightly twisted, but fine
flexible wire, such as milliners use,
is wound around it to keep it to.
gether and give itmore body. Thus
prepared, it will throw ont quite
good deal of heat.

THINKS GENERAL
WILSON WAS TOO HASTY
Southerns Take Wilmington
ian to Task Fer Speaking
Harshly to General Lee.

Commenting on the speech made
by General James Ii. Wilson of this
city before the &. a. II. reunion in
Washington last week, the Macon
Georgia Telegraph, says:
General Wilson is not to be TAX
ell TOO seriously. In his attack upon
the name and fame of II. e. Lee,
uttered at the G. A. II. reunion in
Washington he was probably talking
for effect somewhere. In public
address delivered in Macon in 1898,
from the same stand. from which
William Mckinley spoke words Ct
Cancellation and reunion, Wilson
said very contrary things from the
words spoken in Washington. AT
the one time or the other he was not
sincere. Those who heard him in
Macon will recall the fact that he
declared that he saw much OF the
barn. burning in Georgia, or words to
that effect; but that lie was a young
man then, ard he either said or in.
tlmated that if it was to do over
again he would at least spare the
barns.
1t will also be recalled that he
made a sensational declaration In
favor Of annc1ing Canada, whcreat
the Canadian newspapers and public
then became exceedingly angry and
excited, and some Of our Northern cx-
changes attacked him severely for
being so iudiscreet. Being major
general IN the army, aud altering
the sentiment from a stand occupied
at the time by the President of the
United States, II was deemed semi.
Official declaration by Can adams
aud it is said that the break greatly

we say Gen. James II. Wilson Is not

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-No settlement
Of the strike in the anthracite coal re
gions has been reached, and, according
to the statements Of three leading op
orators, no reasonable basis has yet
cen suggested TO them. Any PROPOSE,
tion embracing 10 per cent increase
will be ignored.
Yesterday was another busy time for
the operators. Before noon all of them
except President Bacr were in confer
ence at the office of the Erie road.
Their talk lasted over an hour, but no
statement was made for publication.
Following this conference Chairman
Thomas Of the Eric road and President
Truesdalc Of the Luckawanna were
closetcd with ]. p. Morgan at the lat
ters office. Mr.. Morgan would not tall.
about the situation nor would he say
anything regarding Secretary Roots
Visit to him last Saturday.
The last mentioned conference lasted
until o'clock, and an hour later Mr..
Morgan and others took train for
Washington. going over the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad.
Out OF this fitting of men of potent
Influence in the railway and coal in
dustres there grew more hopeful
sentiment in the news centers of New
York. and the prediction was conf
identity made in circles usually well in
formed that the end of the long strike
was at hand.
RumOrs that the strike was ended
were heard in the financial district,
and in the closing hour the stock mar
ket rallied very generally from its ear
y depression. These rumors were cir
eulated for the most part by brokcra ge
houses with western connections. The
conservative element paid little heed.
and denials of settlement were au-
thorized by representatives of the
t.ackawanna and the Ontario and
Western roads.
Governor Odell made this significant
remark at the Fifth Avenue hotel last
night:
81 believe that the coal strike is near
er to definite settlement than it has
been since it started"
Besides this statement the governor
would make no explanation Of the rea.
