The past week has been disappoint-
ment to the shad fishermen, owing to
the high winds, which have prevailed
since Monday. Many of the gillers
did not venture out, and those who did
brave the elements caught but few

the coming week good early run of
shad is expected, and the price will
most likely take quite drop. Big
shad have been selling for so cents and

Another reason Il, that piles Is In no

The patient very soon discovered their

He says further, fortunately. how
ever, there is a new remedy for piles
which judging from it's rapidly grow

of all other treatment; it has certainly
made astonishing cures in this obsti-

Coal Production.

The Forthcoming volume of Mineral
Resources of the United States for the
United States for the Calendar Year
1901" published by the United States
f;eoloricai survey, estimates the
worlds production Of coal in 1901 at
ss6, 1s5,540 short tons. The three great
great coal-producing countries Of the
world are the United States. Great
Britain and Germany. The output OF
these three countries combined makes
up s1.61 per cent of the worlds total.
Austria Hungary comes fourth. France
is NTH. Belgium sixth. and Russia
seventh. The last country. notwith-
standing it's vast area. produces only
about s per cent, as much coal as the
United States. The three countries
which lead in the production of coal
are the three countries that lead in in
dustrial development. Prior to 1899
Great Britain led among the worlds
coal producers, but during 1899, 1896
and 1901 the United States has made
such remarkable increases in coal pro-
duction, due principally to the I'M
preccdented activity in the iron and
steel and in other metal trades, that
we now stand far in the lead of al
competitors, with a production in 1901
exceeding that of Great Britain by A.
s65, 1898 short tons, or 10 per cent. UI
to the close of 1900 the coal produc'
ton Of Great Britain and her colonies
If taken together still exceeded that o.
the United States. the excess in 1906
being 3.36S.S25 short tons; but the
enormous output of the coal mines OF
this country last year exceeded by
about $4,000. 900 short tons the entire
output of Great Britain and her de.
tendencies, including India and the
Transvaal. OF the output of coal in
1901. the United States produced $3.50
per cent. Great Britain and her de-
Tendencies 30.S6 per cent, and Ger
many 1912 per cent. or, combined
StI4 per cent. of the total production
OF course, the great strike will make
the showing of the United States for
1902 a relatively poor one.

The inquest upon the death OF Will
liam Craig of the secret service in the
Pittsfeld. Mass. accident which put
the life of the President in such peril
puts the blame upon Conductor Kelley
and Motorman Madden. making the
former rather than the latter the prin-
cipal. The inquest shows that under
the law. the militia which were escort
ing the President had the right Of way,
and that "the ear was allowed to at
tain dangerous and unreasonable
speed. and to maintain it up to point
where it was impossible TO avoid a col
lislon." The fast speed was in direct
violation of the orders of the officials
of the road. Both the conductor and
