MONEY to loan!

CERTAINTY OF CoNrRAcr.-The
loan plan here offered by The Fi>
deity is that of paying off loan
by easy monthly payments. The
contract is definite and certain. By
its terms it cannot run BEYOND the
time fixed, but stock participates in
earning and may mature sooner IT
is NOT a loan upon the building
loan plan as usually presented BY
associations. 1t differs from such
plan, in that
a No fines are charged the borrower.
b The maximum number of payments re-
quired to pay off is stipulated IN the note.
The sum required to pay off and cancel a
loan, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
note for each period.
d Certainty and a monthly payment plan
is an advantage to the borrower. ~ The
debt can be paid off before maturity with
out penalty. (2) The borrower by easy pay
ments gets out of debt. Straight loans for
a term of years are too often renewed.
Three terms or payment are offered. It
takes small monthly payment longer to
cancel a debt than it does larger one.

Steel Trust in the South.

The steel trust has bought thirty acres of land in New Orleans, and these acres have a river frontage of 2200 feet. The price paid for the land was $200,000, and upon it great ware houses are to be erected, into which will be dumped the products of the huge trust. These products will be barged to New Orleans whenever a rise occurs in the Ohio and Missis- sippi rivers, and as these products are not of a nature that readily crumble or decay, great stocks can readily be placed and maintained at New Or. leans.
 The New Orleans Picayune confi- dent the steel trust will engage in navigation out of New Orleans on a large scale, especially as to barbed wire, nails and rails. The trust has long been heavy shipper, sending the finished material to New Orleans in barge lots, but it has never main- tained there great stocks for export purposes. It is believed it intends to supply the countries to the south of us from New Orleans, and all of the goods will be transported by water, requiring but one transfer.
 The trust is said to anticipate the time when there will be locks in the Ohio, so that that river will be navi- gable. the year round, and it is said to be getting ready for the opening of the isthmian canal, which may occur in five or six years. These facts go to show what a powerful magnet for the south the isthmian canal will be.
 They also go to show the great need of this district, namely, an Open War rior. Given an Open Warrior, one need not fear the capitalization of the steel trust, for whoever can produce and lay down at the sea iron and steel at the lowest cost of production can se- cure orders enough in the worlds wide markets.

Home Strike Settled.

All is peace and prosperity again in this district. Over four thousand miners will resume work tomorrow and from that time theneeforward they will dig coal as they never dug it be- fore, for every ton that can be mined will be needed. Orders have accu- mulated, and every mans services will be called for until hot weather comes again at least.
 This means that houses will con tinue to be built in this district; that people will continue to come this way to find new homes and employment; that prosperity is again with us, with every assurance of long stay.
 Nothing can keep this district down, and even a strike cannot last long.
 The settlement seems to be satis- factory to both parties, and while all strikes are to be deplored, it is grati- flying that in this one there has been no disorder of any kind and the rights of both sides have been respected.

Crops in Alabama.

It Is generally understood that the cotton crop in this state will be ex- ceedingly short-perhaps the shortest crop in percentage that the state has ever known. Barring a few counties north of Troy and a few in the north western corner of the state the crop is light to the acre beyond precedent
 The report of Director Crawford of the government service. just issued, sustains this general statement. The report is based on statements received from every part of the state, and nearly all the counties say the yield will be light. Not a few say, "the lightest in years." Dallas reports no top crop. Nearly all say the crop is nearly picked and ginned, which is of itself proof of a short crop. As general statement it may be said that the cotton of this year is open, and will soon be picked and marketed.
 It is difficult to see any reason for an estimate exceeding 800, ,00O bales as the crop of the state this year. It will be remembered that the crop of last year was 100000 bales.

Red-Handed Crimes.

Judge Thomas charge relative to homicides in Alabama and the lament able conditions prevailing in this state should not go unheeded. Alabama had m a year 461 homicides, while Geor- gia, more populous, had but 3S1. This state and Louisiana had more homi. cides to each 5O,OOO population than any other state east of the Rockies, exas and Florida alone excepted. We have in a year 13 killings in each 50,- poo population, while Georgia has but 3; New York, 4; Massachusetts, 4, and New Hampshire, 1. The record of this state is unenviable and deplor- able, and Judge Thomas has rendered the state a service in calling atten- tion to the facts and to the circum- stances attendant. He seems to at tribute the higher rate of murder in this state not to race differences, or llliteracy, or density of population, but to an indefensible public sentiment. Blacks kill blacks too freely, and whites kill blacks, and neither lot is sufficiently punished. The black slayer expects the white man to shield him because of his desire for his labor, and the white offender escapes punishment because tLe juries are made up of white men and public sentiment is unsound.
 Judge Thomas calls stoutly for the enforcement of the law against whites as well as blacks, and against the former although the victims may be of another color, and he so charged the grand jury of his court. The bot tom trouble is of course the condition of public sentiment, which is wholly unsatisfactory. Juries will not dc

THE JIM CROW CAR LAW.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
 The Jim Crow car law in regard to street cars went into effect yesterday, sixty days having elapsed since the sign ing of the statute by the governor; but what with the confusion resulting from the strike and the difficulty of placing the car system in running order again, the law requiring the separation of the races in the cars was lost sight of and very little Vas done towards enforcing it. The company had made provision to carry out the statute. but the public finding that cars were fewer and inter- vals between them longer than of old, did not pay much reverence to the law. It can scarcely be said to have been fairly tested. and 1t will take some time yet, when the cars are running regular ly, to determine whether it can be en- forced without discomfort and inconven- fence to the travelling public. It is recog- nized by all that the law will be a very difficult one to enforce in a city contain ing so many dark complexioned white men as New Orleans

Eclipse of the Moon.'

Tonight a little after midnight, for an hour and half fair Luna will not shine upon this earth. The moon will during that time be in the earth's shadow, and the obscuration will be total. The suns rays will be shut off by the bulkier earth itself. and we will not be able to see the moon, all though sometimes a dull view of it is presented-justw why, no one seems to know. It is believed, however, that some of the suns rays are bent or re- fracted by the earth's atmosphere, thus showing the moon in pale in- tangible form. It is really matter that depends in all human probability upon the condition of the earths at- mosphere. The suns rays may or may not be refracted to an extent sufficient to show an outline of the moon, and even to present our sole satellite in gray or coppery hue.
 The eclipse of tonight will be the chief one of the year. There was on April a partial eclipse of the sun, visible in the Arctic ocean; a total eclipse of the moon on April 22, visi- ble in portions of Asia, Europe and Africa, and a partial eclipse of the sun on May 2, visible in New Zealand and the Pacific ocean. Besides to- nights lunar eclipse, there will be an eclipse of the sun on October 31, visi- ble in parts of Europe and Asia. In other words, the only eclipse of the year visible in this country will take place tonight.

FLEEING FROM TROOPS.
Six Hundred Men, Women and chIl-
 dren Have Fled to Bulgaria.

Sofia, Bulgaria, October 15.-A report has been received here from the frontier that in the vicinity of Dubnitza. six hun dred men, women and children have fled into Bulgaria to escape Turkish troops. They report the destruction of the Chris tlan villages of stamar, Dienovo, Serbi- novo and Prime and that the village of oranovo has been burned and it's in- habitants massacred.
 This information has led to an agree ment between the two Macedonian com mittees and M. Zontecheffs committees they jointly decided today to call a mass meeting for October 19, of representatives of the provincial Macedonian societies and they send telegrams to the capitals of Europe, praying Europe statesmen to protect the Christians of Macedonia against Turkish atrocities. The Macedo- nian chiefs have addressed an appeal to the Bulgarian press and to benevolent societies for assistance for the refugees.

A public sentiment that admits of B homicides a year in each 5O0Oo population not only renders life inse, cure. but it frightens away capital and dwarfs the material development of the state. For justices sake alone it should be changed. and if every other judge in the state would take hold of the subject much might be accomplished.

AMERIcA's IRON TRADE.
How We Have Grown and Now Are
 Pre-Eminent.

Archer Brown in Engineering Magazine
 The development of the iron industry of the United States has been marked with surprises. From complete depend ence upon the old world the country has leapede to a pre-eminence so complete that even it's rivals believe and tremble In the great railroad building period of 1S70-72 England furnished the rails and other materials at prices two to three times above those which are now deemed abnormally high. Then England pro duced three times as much iron and steel as the United States. Since then Ger many has challenged the supremacy of Great Britain, and passed her in decade of remarkable growth. And yet, in the current year of 1902, the United States of America will produce more iron than England and Germany combined Indeed, there is margin of excess to spare about equal to the product of France. If we add to this statement another fact, viz: that even this vast production Is not suf- fcient for home requirements, and that the United States is today, in spite of a stiff tariff, the best customer in iron and steel that Europe has, credulity is taxed to the limit
 There Is iron ore in thirty-one states or the Unon Very many of the deposits, however, are unavailable for one or other cause. Thousands of owners of iron lands in Virginia. Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, in the south, and in Illinois. Ohio. Wisconsin and even Pennsylvania in the north, have had their dreams or wealth dispelled by finding that the ores were too high in phosphorous or titanic acid or some other injurious element, or were too expensive to mine prontaoly II, eou,petiticn with the cheapiy won depos- .ts in the Lake Superior districts or in Inc southern states. But the supply of low phosphorus ores for making Bessc' mer steel was apparently nearer its limi- tations ten years ago than 1t is today The so-called s'old range" ores were being mined out at a rate that caused appre- hension and new discoveries were few. The opening of the Messabi district in Minnesota, however, in the-decade from 1890 to 1900 changed the situation.
 The duration of the supply of Lake s1perior ores can only be conjectured. Since the great revival in iron in 1899 ex- ploration work has been carried forward with great energy, and it can safely be said that new sources of supply are opened faster than old ones are worked out. Close to 25,000,000 tons per annum, however are now being brought down the lakes and this colossal tonnage cam not be taken from the ground each year

ENGLISH JUDGES ARE PAID
 THE HIGHEST SALARIES
From the London Daily News.

From the London Daily News.
 Some information of a kind never pub- lished hitherto has been collected by Mas ter Macdonell for the Journal of the Society of Comparative Legislation. The numbers of the judges administering the law in different countries are compared. with most interesting results. The fig ures may be incomplete and in places slightly erroneous, because the definition of a judge is not very easy to construe. and some of the masters informants may have included functionaries of a class which others would neglect.

HOW HARD COAL IS MINED
 AND SHIPPED TO MARKET

Ing of toothed rolls, after which 1t is screened. in circular revolving screens. The slate is picked out by hand by boys and old men. who sit along the chutes through which the screened coal passes, As far as possible the work of sorting sizes and picking out impurities is done by machinery. The general plan is to sort the coal over inclined bars, then to pass what goes through the bars over revolving or shaking screens. while what goes through goes directly to the loading bins, or else is broken up into smaller sizes by rolls and then separated into the various sizes by screens. The capac- ity of the average breaker Is from two to three thousand tons of coal a day.
 The tendency of recent years has been to use more of the smaller sizes of an- thracite. and consequently the breaking has been done with this end in view.
 Many estimates are given as to the cost of mining and marketing anthracite. Here is one from the Anthracite Coal Op- erators' Association letter, which refers particularly to the smaller sizes of an- thracite: Mining and preparation, SIPS a ton; transportation to New York, $l35 a ton, making total of s2.6O ton.
 That there is limit to the supply of anthracite In this country is recognized by all authorities. The extent of the an- thracite field is but $500 square miles. It is located in the state of Pennsylvania, and, broadly speaking, is bounded on the west by the Susquehanna river on the north by the north branch of the same river, on the east by the Delaware and Lehigh rivers, these three rivers form- ing the drainage outlet for the region. The valleys containing the deposits gen erally run from north to south. The greatest length of any of these valleys is 12O miles, while the width is perhaps a miles. According to Lesley. these beds of anthracite coal were originally bitu- minous in character and were deposited at the same time as the bituminous coal of Western and Central Pennsylvania, and were subsequently changed to their anthracite character by some process of the anthracite coal deposits have been estimated to be 19,561 S72, ,325 tons. The an nual capacity of the mines is estimated to be 6zoo0000, while the market will take less than 50,0000OO tons. It is estimated that there is $7OO, OOO,O0O invested in the an. thracite industry, with an annual profit of from Ss50oo.ooO to $lo0, 100000, added to by freight traffic net earnings of $40 0oo,. 900 a year.
