Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. TO-
Judge Durand, notwithstanding his i'll.
ness, will not be taken off the Dem.
9cratic ticket. BY the unanimous vote
OF Fl OF the "a members Of the state
committee, and two others, S. w

ID. Kearney OF Ann Arbor, and Mrs.
Purcell, representing by proxy Henry
Marx of Port Huron, it was decide

ment by l.. T. Durand of Saginaw,
Judge Durand's brother, to go ahead
with the campaign with Judge Durand

fourth member of the committee, ID.
sent. The resolution, which was Of
fered by Rush Culver of Marquette,
reads:
Whereas, The condition of Judge
Durand gives encouragement for his
speedy recovery, which is earnestly
desired by all good citizens Of Michi
gan; therefore,
Resolved, That it is the desire Of
the Democratic state central commit
tee and of all Democrats that he
should remain the candidate for gov.
ernor."
Because of delayed train Judge
Durand's brother and the judges son,
Charles A. Durand, did not reach
Grand Rapids until after 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. Everybody was at sea
until they arrived.
The things L. A. Durand told the
committee, which caused 1t to adopt
the resolution above noted were that
the family's preference was that the
Judge should be taken off the ticket.
However, the judge realized weeks
ago that perhaps he might not be able
to be here, and yet his whole heart
and soul was in the campaign.
Though their first desire was for his
withdrawal, yet those nearest and
dearest to him were willing to yield
that preference to the Judgment of the
state central committee. The commit.
tee didn't seem to have another
thought after that to keep him on the
ticket.
AS soon as L. T. and Charles A. Du.
rand arrived they went into executive
session with the state committee and
the former stated the judges case. 1t
didn't take the committee long to
agree to the resolution above printed.
After the committee adjourned, the
formal notification and Judge Du.

tion were read before a general meet.

the most part in the city of Dresden. The
hot-bed of the plot and counterpart, whether
a young English tutor, Monsieur Martin,
has been sent on a p~erilous mission. At
the beginning of the story. Monsieur Mar
tin, who is It's hero, is tutor to the beauti-
full Countess Ebba, with whom he falls
desperately in love, but dares not aspire
TO her hand. Events fall out I'm such a way
that from a mere tutor he becomes a man
of action, a valiant soldier and trusted
friend of the king, who confers a little
upon him. The plot moves rapidly and the
pages are filled with intrigue, adventure,
violence and the love of woman. After
several stormy and perilous years. the
action of which leaves the reader in con-
slant doubt how the story is going TO end,
Monsieur Martin and the Countess come
together again and it ends in a burst of
sunshine against a background of tragedy.
Certain historical persOnages figure in the
book and the story presents a dramatic
picture Of the troublous reign of Charles

An onIooker's Notebook.

This book belongs TO a class which almost
always furnishes pleasant reading. namely
personal "reminiscences and reflections by
a person of long and varied experience and
wide observation. with a good faculty of
narration. Its only drawback for Amer
lean readers is that it is exclusively Eng
fish, but this is ~measurably compensated
by. the fact that the matters and things
treated of are of permanent and historic
interest. The authors name is not given,
thor of collections and RecollectiOns,' a
book which had a marked success. The
present volume IS written in the same hap
Ply vein. The author is evidently an Eng
lishman statesman with a wide knowledge
of public affairs and probably belongs to
the nobility, as the book is dedicated to
Robert, Earl of Crewe, in honor Of a
friendship which now covers more than
thirty years" Throughout the volume the
author shows a preference for the old
times over the new, and for the days when
the British aristocracy was entirely I'M
tainted by the leaven of modern democracy.
and yet he treats everything from a high
point of view. In this spirit Of reminiscent
comment he treats of manne ancient and
modern, of luxury and simplicity, Of mon
the aristocracy, the hereditary principle of
the universities, the public schools, OF
drinking and drunkenness. of women and
good works, and many other topics Of So
cial interest. The book is a perfect mine
of original anecdote. and the author. who
ever he may be, has an elegant and fin
iShed style. Harper Brothers.

Eve Triumphant.

Eve Triumphant is a French novel by
Pierre de Coulerain, translated by Alys
ballard. Two beautiful American women
go abroad. the married one. without her
husband. chaperoning the supposedly typi-
cal young American girl, and both under
the protection of an easy-going elderly
bachelor brother. They spend their time in
Paris and Rome among the best society
people of both places. The tale is told
from the point of view of a foreigner, to
whom the actions of an independent, high
minded, beautiful woman, who follows her
own free will in all things, regardless of
the eonventionalities, is something of an
enigma. Monsieur De Coulerain endeavors
to be impartial in his judgments. though
many of his truths are but half-truths and
his sweeping assertions are often wide of
the mark. OF course, the unrestrained
~frankness of Mrs. Ronald and Dora Carroll,
together with their absolute freedom from
restraint. leads to some serious complica-
tions. The book is, perhaps, most enter
tanning because Of it's point Of OF
a so-called broad-minded, unbiased French
man upon the up-to-date American woman.

SOME FACTS ABOUT COAL.

A dispatch from New York says that a
cargo of 1000 tons of bituminous coal is
now on it's way from Wales to that city.
This importation is experimental, but it
will be followed by othe4s if the strike
continues. 1t is striking proof of the cheap
ness of modern ocean transportation that
this coal can be put on the market in New
York at So or $50 "A ton. 1t is also en-
phatic proof of the effectiveness of the
strike that the largest cOal-producing coun-
try In the world hould so soon be COM
PEELED TO import coal. One is left TO imag-
inc what the result will be If the bitumin-
Gus miners should join in the strike, thus
cutting of a supply that is far more impor-
tant than the anthracite. During the year
1900 the total production of anthracite coal
in the United States was $780, l9 tons,
while that OF bituminous coal was PIP, 5I3,9 12
tons. Ali of the anthracite product was in
Pennsylvania. except IS. 4O4 tons mined in
Colorado and New Mexico. The present
strike. therefore, affects practically the
whole supply Of American anthracite, and
may soon involve the bituminous supply,
though probably not to so great an extent.
New York coal dealers say they are in COM
muaication with Welsh operators relative
TO the importation Of anthracite Of a class
suitable for locomotives and furnace use,
which could be put on the market In New
York at about S a ton. During the year
1000 we exported 1862. 2SG tons Of anthracite
coal and 6.255.03S tons OF bituminous. If the
strike continues long this export trade.
which was growing rapidly. will be serious

ducing country. which We gained In 1899
and have maintained since. In 1899 the coal
output OF the United States exceeded that
Of Great Britain by 6,45S.7SS long tons, and
in 1890 this lead was increased TO over
100000 tons. This position OF supremacy

gained within one generation. In 1865. The

OF Great Britain. and 100000 tons less than
that OF Germany. In 1872. 1873 and 1874 the
production of coal in this country exceeded
that OF Germany. and since 1877 there has
not been any year IN which Germany has
produced as much coal as the United
States. In 1906 the production of the United
states exceeded that Of Germany by more
