 CAPITOL GROUNDS. Capt. A. G. Forbes Has Joined Hands With Hon. J. K. Jackson in Identifying the Historic
 old Place.

Through the efforts of Captain A. c. Forbes a car load of cannon balls will probably reach Montgomery today from the army barracks near Pensacola, Fla, for the purpose of adornment of the grounds surrounding the historic old capitol of Alabama.
 Since Captain Forbes was made chair man of the Committee of the Street Fair Association which had in charge the bringing to Montgomery of the mainmast of the Spanish war vessel Don Juan de Austria, he has been very much interest ed in improving the appearance of the capitol grounds. In this laudable under taking he received the hearty co-opera tion of Hon. J. K. Jackson, Custodian of the Capitol. It was suggested to Cap tain Forhcs and MT. Jackson that pyra- nids made of cannon balls would be at tractivc con the grounds of the capitol and they went to work to secure the cannon hallsl h this work they MsEs successful

and Captain Forbes yesterday received a bill of lading for the car load of cannon balls which are expected to reach here today from Pensacola. Fla. They Will be carted to the capitol and workmen will arrange them In attractive designs.
 MT. Jackson said yesterday that the mainmast of the Don Juan de Austria which now lies near the main entrance to the capitol grounds would not be raised until a pending bill is passed by the National Congress.
 The mainmast, it will be remembered, was donated to the State by Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, but it was discovered that the title to the mainmast would not be legal without an act of Congress. A bill, of which Congressman A. A. Wiley is the author. Is now pend ing and when it becomes a law the State will have the mast raised on the capitol grounds and there will be ceremonies befltting the occasion.

HOWE STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
Aged Man Found Suffering Wednes-
 day Removed to Infirmary.

Charles Howe. the tinker, who was found badly injured at the foot of Ripley Street, on the railroad embankment We'd nesday morning, was carried to the City Infirmary late yesterday afternoon. An operation will probably be performed to- day as the physicians are of the opinion that a clot of blood has formed on his brain.
 City Physician Thorington believes that Howe fell from the embankment and got his wounds about the head while suf- fering from apoplexy. Howe now has apoplexy and one side of his body is com pletely paralyzed. When Howe was first found it was believed by the police that he had been assaulted and robbed. His hurts. however, could have been the result of a fall and the police have aban- doned the theory that the tinker was attacked by highwaymen.
 Howe is an old man. He was seen beg ging about the streets several days before he was found on the Ripley Street em- bankment.
 Since then he has been at police head quarters. He has not been conscious since he was hurt

A woMAN's LOVE DREAM.
 TThe following poem appeared in . news paper fin 1874 and was credited to Miss Net lie Powell Houston. daughter of General Sam Houston, the Texas hero-l
 We all have waking visions--I have mine. And being young. and fancifui, and counted sometimes think of love: .r And sitting all alone. and musang still. While vet the firelight fiickers dim, l ask myself if I could learn to love; If my stin heart could wake to life, How would love and how would be loved For am weary of idolatry. .. My soul is faint within me while think Of all the fierce; strong passion :. ,,. ,u,. As some rock clearing stream. . l would be loved in calmness- Trusted and not feared, '| He whom I loved should be my king. ' And not my slave. I do not ask that he be proud and cold But calm, and grave. and very strong A king, like Saul, among the sons or men, But kinglier OCT himself.
 He must not trenlble at my slightest frowa1, Nor shudder if another meets my eye; Nor must he. like vassal. crave my snHe-- Glad in the % dust @ before srvi1;;v my feet to he- I would not rule. nor would I yet be ruled ; l scorn the tyrant as l scoin his slave. There is a love of sweet equality, The love God gave and smiled upon; For it was very good.
 He whom I love must, be my King, But I must be his Queen;
 And. he should yield me as my tribute due., The reverence I had earned. Not only by my womanhood. but by all gen.
 tleness,
 Long -suffering the patient sweetness Only love can teach;
 For looking on me he would feel and know That peace and rest which follow after toll; In me his heart should in such safety trust That he would "have no need Of spoil l do not ask him the worlds applause,
 The blaze of heraldry, the romp of fame His deeds the annals of a nations pride His name upon the lips of men: But I must feel his power
 Must know he could be what earth's heroes I could not love him were be not great. A hand 10 shield, to trust to lay my own
 within.
 To stake my life upon:
 A hand that might have fought with Hercules Yet would not harm the worm in his path. For tho the boart of woman loveth oft A thing she doth unwiilingly despise. 1t is a pitiful, imperfect love that hath not For it's cornerstone the rock of Faith. A heart that loves, and pities. and befriends Tarth's suffering children, whether high, or vet among the lowiy and the poor.
 And he must love me perfectly.
 If from the first fruits of my hearts fair bring an offering for love-crown made. He must not mock me with paltry love Nor stoop to cheat my soul = If T. should sxer meet this man.
 This king only dream, and never see, Then could I sit most nieek1y at his feet very child before his goodness and his And while he stopped to kiss my shining hair. or smooth its clusters from their clinging rest, A sweet unspoken language in his touch Would lift my dark eyes to the dark of his; And, in fair Judea, when the world was Sarah with reverence said to Abraham. My lips should call him Lord"

Coal Lands 81 the country.

According to the twenty second
annual report OF the United States
Geological Survey, dealing with coal,
iron, the total coal area of the United
States is about $50, 81 sluare miles,
exclusive Of Alaska, an exclusive also
Of vast areas Of Ignite coal, not strictly
comparable with the higher grade
anthracite and bitumirouI Goals OF
this total area approximately 50 per
cent is probably productive The rank
of States in production differs greatly
from their rank in coal area. Thus
Pennsylvania, ranking seventh in coal
area, was easily first in production in
1900, with little over l32, 900, 900 short
tons out of a total production of about
24l, 900, 600 tons. The same thing is true
of the Northern Appalachian field as a
whole, which, third in area, ranks first
in tonnage any value of product, a
result due to proximity to market,
suitability Of coal to fuel requirements
and relative quantity of workable coal
per square mile of productive area.
The anthracite field consists of several
long, narrow basins in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania Several small basins of triassic
rocks in the Piedmont region of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, containing
an aggregate of about LOCO square
miles, are coal bearing.
The Appalachian field, subdivided
into northern and southern, extends
from Northern Pennsylvania $50 miles
to central Alabama, embracing portions
of nine States and containing approx
mately 10, 800 square miles, of which
about 70 per cent contains workable
coal. The Northern interior field lies
wholly within the State of Michigan,
with an area of approximately II, 900
square miles. The Eastern interior
field, lying in Indiana, Illinois and
Kentucky, has an area of IS, 600 square
miles, 1t is estimated that about 50
per cent of this area is productive. The
Western interior and Southwestern
fields from a practically continuous
belt of coal measure rocks, extending
from Northern Iowa southwestward
$50 miles to Central Texas and en-
bracing an area of "a, 900 square miles.
The Rocky Mountain fields extend
from the Canadian border southwest
ward about 1000 miles, with maxi
mum breadth of 500 miles, and aggre-
gate $3.50 square miles. The San
Carlos field. Ell Paso county, Texas,
and the Eagle Pass field, extending
from Uvalde county, Texas, rs miles
to the Rio Grande, and across into
Mexico, properly belong to the Rocky
Mountain field.
The Pacific Coast coalfields have a
total area of about 1000 square miles,
with the most important deposits in
Washington, few deposits in extreme
Western Oregon and in Central and
Southern California.
The Ignite coal deposits, which are
not treated of in this series of papers,
embrace about $4,000 square miles in
Montana, the Dakotas and Wyoming
and then, in an area of about equal
extent, they run in a narrow belt from
the Georgia Alabama line nearly to the
Mississippi, and then west Of the Missis.
sippi, in q broader belt, from Little
Rock southwestward through Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas.
