COAL IN MOUNTAIN LOTS.

There is little railroad down in
Buchanan county, Virginia, which is
operated with less expense for coal
than 4ny other railroad in the world"
said southern man recently. '"The
small engine which runs on the road
does not carry tender, and whenever
fuel is needed the train is stopped and
the f1rebox is filled with coal from the
sides of the ravine through which the
road runs. The railroad is nothing
more than tramway leading up into
the mountains to a large sawmill
Buchanan county and adjoining coun-
ties in Virginia and West Virginia
seem to be a solid mass of coal. 1t
shows on the hills everywhere and
could be mined at small expense.
While / was in the county a short
time ago made trip along the little
lumber road I spoke Of, and had an op-
portunity to notice the great mineral
wealth of the country. I inquired
about the quality of the coal, and was
surprised to find that it was excellent
Any man who takes a trip through
Buchanan county will cease to worry
over what thu world is to do for fue
after the coal supply is exhausted
When the Pennsylvania coal fields
play out, Virginia and West Virginia
will keep the world warm for a few
centuries"

TALE OF TORTURE.
Filipino Girl Writes Of Terrible Treat
ment OF Her Father.

San Francisco, April ga tale of
torture involving members of the ninth
infantry who were stationed at Cat
balogan, Samar, is contained in a let
ter from Senorita Apolinario Congo to
her brother, Louis Congo, a Filipino
youth Of IL years, who up to a few
weeks ago was student at Santa
Clara college, California. The letter,
in substance, reads:
Dear brother: [ have terrible news
to tell you On September 13 steam
launch filed with soldiers approached
the town and soon the streets were
filled with troops They came to our
house and formed about it and an of
ticer approached and asked for our
father. Father came to the door and
answered the mems questions. They
said something about father knowing
what the insurgents we're doing Be
fore he could explain they hurried him
away to the launch and that was the
last we saw of him for two days He
told me that the soldiers took him to
a lonely spot near the bay, placed him
upon his back on some conchas shells,
put stone upon his breast and stomach
and held him in the salt water, letting
it run slowly into his mouth until he
was almost unconscious
Father begged that they Kill him.
for as you know he never knew any
thing about the insurgents, and has al
ways been on the side of the govern
ment. They would not kill him, but
after trying the salt water several
times they took him from the bed of
sharp shells all cut and bruised and
brought him back here Soon after I
saw him at the Quartet. He was car
ried away and have never seen him
since that time
The boy says: 1--WE owned a large
general merchandise store at Cat
balogan, and I am told this has been
destroyed. I can bring plenty of
evidence before the American con-
gress to show that my father was
loyal to the governments and all he got
in return was torture and possibly
death after his estate had been
wrecked
Young Congo produced letters from
Lieutenant Arnold and other officers
who had served with the Tennessee
regiment that showed he was telling
the truth.

\, ashington, April 29.-Sol Smith
Russell. one of Americas greatest
actors. died here yesterday. He had
not been in good health for several
years.
Mr.. Russell was undoubtedly the
greatest character actor, in his own
particular lines of character portrayal,
that the American stage-in late years
at Ieast-has known. He was quiet in
his methods, forceful in his portrayal,
humorous in looks, action and personal
appearance. AS man he bore repu-
tation for honor, honesty, pure morality
and charm of personality that is not
excelIed by that of any man who has
graced the stage in the memory of this
generation.
Sol Smith Russell was taken sick
three years ago at the conclusion OF an
engagement ct the Davidson theater
in Milwaukee. He suffered mental
breakdown. accompanied by physi-
cal collapse. His engagements for the
season were cancelled, and from time
to TIME he has expressed hope that he
would be able to return to the stage.
A year ago plans were made for fall
tour, but Mr.. Russell failed to rally
sufficiently to withstand the fatigues
OF road travel.
Mr.. Russell was 81 years old. He
began his stage career at Cairo, ILL.,. rs
boy, singing songs, playing small
ports and beating a drum in an orches-
ira When the war broke out he went
to the front as a drummer. In 1866 he
joined a travelling company, and in
1874 became a member of Daly's
forces. His first starring venture was
in Edgewood Folks Later he played
in Felix McCusick, The Amulet, A
Poor Relation, Peaceful Valley, and
later in Hon. John Grigsby, his last
plas
Mr.. RUSSELL was a son-in-law of the
late w. T. dams, known to all boy
readers as Oliver Optic. His home
was in Minneapolis.
The deceased will be buried in Rock
Creek cemetery near Washington, to-
morrow Russell leaves a wife and
two children, Miss L. Alice Russell,
and a son Robert 3. Russell, of Min
neapolfs His estate exceeds $4,000

fertilizers, and instead of spreading
his barnyard manure on his fields,
he let it accumulate around his barn
until the approaches were impass-
able. Then he dug the barn out and
moved it.
Instead of rotating crops to save
his soil, he planted according to the
phases of the moon.
There were few sheep in the
country, and other live stock was
poor and scanty.
In Virginia the belief prevailed
that it would kill COWS to house and
milk them in the winter
Transportation was poor and con-
tinued so for long time. The roads
could not have been worse. Markets
we're scattered and far between.
Each farm attempted to be SELF
sustained in as large a degree as pos
sible. What the farmer couldn't
grow or his wife couldn't make they
went without. .
Wasteful methods of tillage even
tually exhausted a soil originally
rich, and in the reign of Andrew
Jackson agriculture had fallen into
such an alarming state of neglect and
ineficiency that the government hal
