In the vicinity OF F1lenuly tueIe
Is much activity just at present, and
all available territory Is being
leased up. The land mostly
p 'eferred by the operators IS situ-
ated on the river just north of town
aud preparations are being made to
start number of wells at once.
Howard Appleby, of this city,
closed deal yesterday whereby he
secured lease on the Williamson
Island and has contracted with
Harry Ihrlg to put down we'll
immediately. The rig timbers
will be placed on the ground
t ,morrow. This island contains
about rs acres, and many expert
enced operators are of the
opinion 1t Is good oil terri
tory. At any rate considera-
BILE money will be expended In
this field In the hope of striking
oil In paying quantities within the
next few months, which will give
this city as we'll also as our neigh
Dor town a nice little boom There
Is considerable land In this locality
that has not been developed, aud
for which the owners are realizing
a snug sum In the way Of bounlses
and rentals. Let as hope for wells
of the gusher class.
Field developments are somewhat
tame but there IS nothing slow
about the way the credit balance
market Is advancing. For the sec
ond time within a week new quota
tions were posted when the pur-
chasing agency opened for business
Saturday morning. When three
cents was added to the market for
Pennsylvania credit balances on
Thursday, another advance was
scarcely expected before the close
of the week, so that Saturdays S
quotations came as surprise. Pro-
ducers and operators are greatly
elated over the advance. 1t places
a higher value on the little old
wells owned by the former and the
latter have a new incentive for be
ginning field developments with re.
newed energy.
The last time the credit balance
market for Pennsylvania crude was
$1.4S was on April "a, 1900. On
that date the market was tumbling
down at FIVE cent stages from $1.68,
and on the date named opened at
S1.52 and closed at $1.47. Both
the field and statistical conditions
have undergone a great change
since then.
Operators are keeping a close
watch on new developments. Penn
sylvania operators are largely In
terested In West Virginia and
southeastern Ohio territory, and
those who are anxious to increase
their production are of the opinion
that no other section looks so prom.
Using. Big fields are not expected,
but small pools, such as
the Keener sand developments on
Big Knot and Wolf Pen runs, are
not outside of the range ofpossibil'
tiles, and the discovery of one or
more will not 60 unobserved. The
frequent rquiries of late discoveries
and the scanning of the field re-
ports show that interest Is increas-
Ing.
At the present time the discov-
cry and development of extensions
to old fields or pools are claiming
the most attention.

DISHES OF FOWL.

Potted fowl: For those who prefer to
pot their own meats, strip the meat
from the bones of Drained or
steamed fowl; free it from gristle and
skin, weigh and to every pound of meat
allow a quarter of pound Of fresh
butter, two or three slices of cooked
ham, salt and pepper to taste, a tea
spoonful, of mace and half small nut
meg grated. Grind or chop the meat
very fine and pound to perfectly
smooth paste with the butter, sprink-
ling in the spices gradually in the
meantime. Pack the mixture in little
jars or pots and cover to the depth Of
a quarter of an inch with clarified but
tie. Tie paraffin paper tightly over the
tops and keep in a cool, dry place.
This will keep for some time and is
convenient and always acceptable in
the form Of dainty sandwiches, or may
even be made into small croquets or
balls, dipped and fried and served with
suitable sauce.
Chicken loaf: Boil a fowl until the
meat and bones fall apart. Strain off
the liquor and put it into saucepan
and reduce it to three cupfuls; then
add half an ounce of soaked gelatine
and stir until gelatine is dissolved, but
do not let it boil. Decorate the bottom
of a plain mold with slices Of hard
boiled eggs; pour in shallow layer of
the jelly; let it harden, then fill up the
mold with alternate layers of white and
dark meat; pouring in little of the
jelly, well seasoned, with each layer;
set away to harden. This is nice dish
for Sunday night tea.
Stewed chicken, Matelote style:
SINCE, draw and cut up a fowl; rub
with butter and flour and brown it in
good oven Put four tablespoonful of
butter in a frying pan and when hot
fry in it carrot a parsnip and an on
ion cut in dice. Place the fowl in
stewpan with the vegetables and one
quart of white stock or broth. In the
butter in which vegetables were fried
put two tablespoonfuls of flour; stir
until smooth, then put in with the fowl.
Mash the liver and add to chicken with
tablespoonful of capers and salt and
pepper to taste. Simmer slowly until
chicken is tender; then add quarter of
pound of mushrooms, cut in small
pieces, and simmer fifteen minutes
longer. Serve with garnish of
mashed potatoes.-Union and Adverti-

cries are in the vicinity of Margarita-
a large island off the north coast Of this
republic. The beds most prolific of
pearl-bearing oysters are not imme-
diately adjacent to Margarita. itself,
but to the several smaller islands close
by Around the latter are piled hun
dreds of tons of shells, great reefs of
them, the accumulation of centuries of
pearl-fiShing. Columbus discovered the
islands in 1888; and incidentally the
fisheries, because the Indian women
were wearing strings of priceless
pearls, which they We're eager to eX-
change for European trinkets of small
value. Since time out of mind pearl
fishing has been carried on by the ma
tives of these islands, and though the
methods are still of the crudest, it is
officially stated that to-day the output
of pearls averages one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars a year-on the
spot. In other words, that is the sum
received by the fishermen for the pearls
they gather. How much those same
pearls bring in foreign markets, there
are no statistics to show. The pearls
are bought on the spot by few deal
ers, whose business it is to purchase
valuable gems as cheaply as possible
for European merchants, and it is
doubtless true, to-day as in the past,
that the ignorant fishermen are often
outrageously swindled. There is no
governmental restrictions upon the
business of pearl fishing in Venezue-
Ian waters, except that upon each
boat is laid the trifling tax of twenty
five dollars year. At present about
four hundred boats are employed in the
industry. Recently a French company
has started in here, with divers, diving
apparatus, etc, and it expects great re-
suits from the enterprise. The native
boats are provided with no appliances,
except that each has a heavy, metal,
scoop-like drag, which is allowed to
scrape along the bottom of the sea, till
it is believed to be full of oysters,
when it is hauled up to the surface and
its contents inspected. The pearls of
this region are exceptionally fine in
quality, far surprising those of the
fisheries near Panama and the point of
Baja California, in beauty, size and
lustre. These run from white to yell
low. with now and then a brown or
pink pearl, and at rarer intervals jet
black one, almost priceless in value.
One was sold in Margarita the other
day for eighteen hundred dollars, and
will probably bring as many thousands
in Europe. The French company, of
which M. Grunberg, prominent Paris
iewel-merchant of Hebrew descent, is
the head, has purchased the "conces-
sion" to fish here from a Venezuelan
who held it, and is also obliged to pay
the Venezuelan government 10 per cent.
royalty on the profits of the enterprise.

PRESIDENT ON LABOR UNIONS,
Declares They and the Trusts Are
Inevitable.


Washington, Nov. 26. - President
Roosevelt to-day received the members
of the British labor commission, who
are making tour of the United States
as the guests Of Alfred Mosely. After
greeting the members Of the party the
president said:
Il am delighted to have the pleasure
of meeting you and Mr.. Marks. I have
had communication with Mr.. Marks on
more than one question leading up to
the coal strike. Naturally, like any man
who has anything to do with public af-
fairs, I not only take, but am bound to
take, the very deepest interest in all
the manifold social problems which i'll
clude as one section of them what we
group together as the labor problem.
More and more as our modern indus
trial progress goes on there is tenden-
cy to work in federation or combina-
ton. both among employers and among
employees, in corporations and in unions;
and, Of course, gentlemen, among the
reasons why l take very great inter-
est in these combinations is the very
fact that by their power they have such
great possibilities for good which neces-
sarily implies that they have also great
possibilities for evil.
Whether you wish them or not, it is
idle, in my opinion, to protest against
the inevitable tendency Of the times to-
ward both corporation and union. It
is worse than folly to take exceptions to

FRANK ERNE WHIPPED.
Knocked Ont I'm the Seventh Round In
aSwlu Fight.


San Francisco, Nov. 26.-Frank Erne,
of Buffalo, lost to young Jimmie Britt,
of this city, who knocked out Erne in
the seventh round at the Mechanics
Pavilion tonight. The contest was the
fastest ever witnessed in this city.
Britt, while not so clever as the Buffalo
man, was the more aggressive and he
landed the most telling blows. The
men went at 1t from the sound of the
bell in the first round and for nearly
seven rounds it was a nip-and-tuck
contest between them. Britt proved
himself far the cleverer in the clinches
right or left to advantage. The east
ern lad showed his superior general
ship and in many tight places kept
Britt off with straight lefts during the
early part of the battle, and later in
the contest discovered that he could
upper-cut the Californian successfully
On one or two occasions he had the
San Francisco boy at a disadvantage.
Erne was in bad plight several
ness and succeeded in keeping the CAL
ifornian away at most critical periods.
In only one round did Erne have a de-
cided advantage, the fifth. Erne in
this round landed slight left on
Britts jaw and followed it up with a
terrific right to the heart. He contin-
ued to play for the Calffornian's heart,
and at the close had his youthful ad-
versary in an almost groggy condition.
In the sixth round both men fought flu
riously, Britt trying to regain the
ground he lost in the last half of the
preceding round and Erne endeavoring
to secure a decided lead over Britt.
The latter played for the Buffalo
boys stomach and heart and during
the last half minute of the round plac-
ed his left on Erne's solar plexus Britt
fought himself to a standstill and both
men went to their corners in a groggy
condition, but the terrific punishment
administered by Britt was not to be
overcome by the minute rest preced
ing the seventh round and when Erne
SleppeU " Tie Celllci u tHe ing III
what proved to be the final round 1t
was seen that he was almost gone.
Britt was not blind to his advantage
and rushed at his man, landing ter
irfic lefts to the body and rights to the
face and head. A left upper cut caught
Erne in the solar plexus and he went
down for a count of seven, but his
dominant energy asserted itself and he
gained his feet, only to go down few
seconds later from another terrific left
to the same place. He roleld over and
did the best he could to regain his feet
but could not do SO.
Jim Britt's professional fighting ca
reer commenced less than year ago,
but during that time he has successful
ly fought his way to the top.

A FALSE HEART.

Coffee Does Not Let 1t Beat True.
"Coffee served me very hard turn
about two years ago. My doctor said
I had chronic dyspepsia with serious
heart and nervous trouble and nothing
would cure me unless I gave up coffee,
said Miss Hattie Williams of Birming-
ham, Ala.
My stomach got so bad that I could
not eat any solid food without it's
nauseating me. and I was so nervous
could not sleep and my heart was in
dreadful condition. I had heard a
great deal about Postum Food Coffee
and how much good people had derived
from changing from coffee to Postum,
so one day I sent to the grocer for a
package.
The first cup I drank helped me, for
1t removed all the gas from my stom-
ach, or perhaps the quitting of coffee
produced that result. at any rate, in
less than week there was a wonder
full change; no more restless nights;
no more pains around the heart that
made me think I had heart trouble; no
more sick stomach. This was two
years ago. 7 am now entirely we'll and
Postum cured me. I found it was not
medicine needed but proper food and
nourishment and to quit coffee entirely.
My brother-in-law "a coffee drinker)
was very sick with stomach trouble and
all he could eat was the white of an
egg. I insisted on his trying Postum.
He said the first cup he drank soothed
his stomach and was nourishing: in a
few days he was able to eat solid food
again, and now he uses it altogether
and does not use coffee
My next door neighbor another coffee
drinker, had suffered with catarrh of
the stomach, and for months could not
eat anything-was just living on beef
tea. l carried her some Postum and
gave her directions for making it and
now she can eat anything she wants
and 1t does not hurt her. She says she
feels better than she has for ten years.

who have been benefited by leaving off
coffee and drinking Postum. 1t has
done me so much good I tell everybody
to use it. have been using it now for
two years and my digestion is fine, my

way to the Caribbean Sea for the riches
of it's large area on the east side of
the peninsula which forms the north
ern end of South America, so is the
Magdalena river, ON the west side of
the same peninsula, the great highway
to US for the trade of Colombia; and
both of them have their mouths wide
open, so to speak, toward the mouth Of
the Mississippi and the United States
the Magdalena for almost all of Colon
bia, and Lake Maracaibo for the rest
of Colombia and most Of Venezuela, to
float their commerce directly to US and
to receive ours in return. Nor are cof-
fee fruits, cocoa, ETC., the only VAL
liable products to which we might have
easy access and practically monopolize.
Besides the ores and asphalt, and gold
and silver mines whose riches are only
limited at, there are rare woods in
bundance-rnahogany rose, cedar,
tulip and a hundred other choice vari-
cites for furniture and interior adorn-
ment, to say nothing of those that pro-
duce India rubber, or bear vegetable
wax soap, silk and ffbres.
A we'll known American writer who
recently visited Lake Maracaibo con-
cludes his description of it as follows:
Everything along the shore of this
wonderful lake will slowly change I'M
der American influence, while the gen.
eral features, dominated by the per-
petuaI Andes, will remain as they have
been since the first Indians built their
lake dwellings within the scene. And
as here the Indians are not paternaliz-
ed by government, nor scrambled over
for their spiritual scalps, they will still
farm the placid waters for excellent
fish, gather the wild bananas and other
abundant fruits, raise pigs and fowls on
extemporzed islands in shallow waters
and enjoy effortless lives in their own
sweet way-in cabins raised on piles
ten feet above the water, with palm
matched roofs, reed-woven sides and
reed-carpeted floors, with notched log
for a ladder up from the softly tapping
waves and their rocking dug-outs; free
from wild beasts, snakes and cares of
every kind, relieved from want by
abundant nature, happy as the day is
long" And so good bye to Lake Mara
caibo.
From time to time new interest
springs up in the United States about
the pearl fisheries of Venezuela; and
then after little, they appear to be en-
tirely forgotten. l have been looking
