COAL FOR L,5OO YEARS.
Expert Tells of the Great Wealth
of American rlines.

Frederick T. Seward, editor of the
Coal Trade Jo"rnni. says i'll an inter
view regarding the coal supply of the
future:
Lord Kelvin says the coal of the
world will be exhausted i'll 100 years.
His figures are based on the consump-
tion of coal in the wasteful fashion of
the past; but even without reform in
this respect estimate that the anthra-
cite coal supply of Pennsylvania alone
will last 100 years, and the bitulninous
coal of the country will certainly last
10 times as long, or - centuries.
With the economical methods Of using
coal that will be introduced the life of
the supply can be prolonged at least an
extra century. The bituminous re-
sources of the country are far beyond
those of the rest of the world. We are
really but scratching the surface of the
coal deposits in our search for fuel, using
up what is found above water level in
large seams and can be mined ut low
cost.
As soon as the effects of the coal
strike are over we shall be producing
more fuel than ever, supplying coal to
foreign countries whose available sup
ply is much less than ours. West Vir.
ginia alone has more bituminous coal
than Great Britain. Then there are
the other Southern States Welding coal,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama
having vast deposits that have scarcely
been touched.
\ great change has come over the
coal outlook Every railroad in the
country is now prospecting for new
mines. not only to supply their own de.
mands, but to ship abroad and supply
the trade generally. The total annual
output OF the coal i'll the world is figur
ed at about $40. 900, 900 net tons and the
quantity to be credited to the United
States is about 2SS.00O,000 net tons,
while Great Britain is put down for
246, 900, 900 net tons and Germany for
about 55,000.000. with none of the
other countries sending out more than
50,000,00 tons annually"

Little Hints.

Two or three Jumps of sugar added to
starch made with boiling water will
make it sitter and more glossy. A
teaspoonful of turpentine added to
every quart of starch. either hot or cold.
will give "a brilliantly polished surface,
and prevent the irons sticking.
To preserve boots and shoes. and pre-
vent their cracking, rub castor oil well
into the leather, and between the soles
and uppers; let il remain on for twelve
hours, then wipe with cloth. The oil
softens the leather, and greatly pro-
longs their wear. They will polish with
blacling after the use of the OIL Boots
that have become hard from contact
with sea water may be softened in this
way.
Gold in the head can be cured at once
if taken care of at the beginning. Di
solve tablespoonful of borax in a pi
of hot water; let it stand until it
comes tepid; snuff some up the most

HAD PISTOLS DRAWN.

They searched the first floor, and find.
ing nothing which they desired went to
the door of the young Messrs Bakers
room The door was unlocked and they
softly entered y dim light was burn
ing. Both ynung men were sleeping
slight noise The slcepers opened their
eyes, only Ia look into the threatening
muzzles of two pistols.
Any ideas of opposition which might
have arisen III the minds of the young
men were quickly dispelled. One of the
burglars then ordered P T. Baker to get
valuableS " hich might be concealed in
the room Mr.. Baker arose with alacrlty,
and from his own and his brothers
clothes he took two gold watches and
$l4 in money While he was moving
about one of the burglars kept him
covered with his pistol, the other mean
while attending to Frank.
After pocketing the watches and
money the robbers asked who else was
i'll the house. The young men replied
that all other members of the family
had gone away ON visit. Seeming to
doubt his word the burglars went across
the hall and tried Mr.. and Mrs. Bakers
door. Finding it locked they left the
house 10y the way they had come.
Mr. and Mrs Baker were not awaken
ed by the noise the burglars must have
made while holding up the sons The
Baker home is separated from the
nearest one by a 3O-foot yard.

FIRST SEEN AT DARLINGTON.

The two robbers first appeared at Oak
Aberdeen and Havre de Grace About
II O'Clock Saturday night the carriage
house of Mr. Samuel Lawder was en-
tered and set of carriage harness was
taken Nearby, at the house of MIR.
GuSs Brown, was horse and buggy
which evidently pleased the robbers,
for without hesitation they appropriated
both vehicle and equine, taking the lat
ter from his stable With the harness
they had stolen from Mr. Lawder the
miscreantS soon had the team hitched.
Driving to Aberdeen they left it near
the home of Mr.. q. w Baker, and
after making a survey of the premises
effected an entrance through rear
kitchen window. \ jimmy was used
in forcing the sash.
This was between and 2o'clock Sun
day morning In the house ut the time
were Mr.. and Mrs Baker and their
sons, Frank and p T. Baker. The lat
ter occupied room together on the sec
ond floor. Just across the hallway is
the apartment of their parents. AT.
ter entering the kitchen window the
burglars opened the doors leading from
the kitching to the main stairway i'll
the hall. so that i'll case of being sur
prised they could escape quickly.

G()RMAN IS THE MAN.
Henry Waterson Pays Maryland
Statesman Great Compliment.

Government is buSineSs-public busi-

themselves to the confidence of the
country the Democratic leaders must
have done with hair splitting and hair
pulling, and get down to the public
business
Every department of the public SER
vice needs overhauling. The Republi-
can party is merely political syndicate.
We shall never be rid of tariff robbing
or the trust incubus under Republican
rule The people know that. They
keep the Republicans III power only be-
cause they fear certain Democratic
leaders aud tendencies The coal-own-
ership plank, for example, did us Il
world of harm. So the foolish extrem-
ism of those who, instead of fighting
the administrative methods in the
Philippines, insisted on fighting cxpan.
sion itself.
The Democratic party has clear
field before it for 1901. In Mr.. German
at least it has one national leader of
unsurpassing wisdom and experience,
a Democrat from the crown of his head
to the soles of his feet. He will present
ly resume his place i'll the counsels of
the nation. His word should pass for
much with every thinking Democrat.
He is not only wise man. He is an
upright, courageous man. worth dozen
Hills, or thousand Clevelands For
the time being at least, let us rally
about German. for. whether he leads
us to victory or defeat, he will not lead
US astray.'
