IF A BLIZZARD COMES.
New York City VIII Have the Great-
est Goal Famine In ItH His
tOry-bupply scant.

New York, Dec. 3.--Upon tho wealth
or only depends whether New York
will be visited by the greatest coal
famine in its history, says the Herald.
Men who are interested in the vari-
Gus branches Of the trade, declarc they
can not get more than day away
from the condition that existed at
the end Of the coal strike, and they
will not be able to get further away
this winter. II blizzard should tie
up the railroads, three days will see
the few remaining tons selling at
prices which will make them luxur-
les.
At the Offices Of the coal-carrying
roads, It was said every effort is be-
ing made to meet the test when it
comes, but there was little hope,
There is coming to tidewater daily
about 100000 ton of hard coal. About
$4,000 ton of this comes TO New York,
The rest goes TO New England and
Canada.
New York's real actual demand In
winter Is about 10000 tons day. The
supply, therefore, Is about 1000 tons
short. As IL must lie distributed fair
ly, no dealer can I'll an entire order,
nor can u customer get what he de-
sires.
President Lcdcrlc OF the board OF
health has ordered officials OF the elc-
vatcd roads, nevertheless, TO show
cause on Wednesday why they should
not abnte the use of soft coal,

mary details.
A report on the work of the ofii-
cals Of the organization was submit

en- up in detail later. The convention
has at present no especial grievances

years. Mr., Wilson, who has offices for

KILLED His Father,

John Nassano, aged 22, shot and
Killed his father, aged 60, at their
home In Little Rock. the weapon used
being a shotgun loaded with buckshot.
There were no witnesses to the trag.
edy, which was the result of the crazed
condition Of young Nassano from over
indulgence in liquor. When officers
arrived they found young Nassano
standing over the body OF his father
with shotgun In his hand. He turn.
ed upon the officers and threatened
them with instant death II they did
not leave him alone. After some per-
suaslon he consented to give up his
gun and to go quietly with the officers.
After his confinement in the Jail he
was quiet, and would only say that he
was justified in killing his father and
would produce evidence to that effect,
While being taken to Jail he stated
that several others were implicated in
the deed and that some OF them held
the victim while he shot him. The
police place no confidence in the story
and attribute 1t to the crazed condi-
tion OF the man at the time. The
murdered man was a good citizen, and
his son had caused him a great deal
OF trouble from drinking.

STARTS FOR HOME SHORT Of BREATH.

New York, Dee. 3.-Baron Max Won
Oppenheim, imperial German counsel
lor, diplomat, author and explorer,
sailed for Germany, Tuesday, after a
sojourn in this country of seven
months. During this time he has
gained, he says, "A knowledge such as
could be acquired in no other way
than by long study of the coun-
try"
"The remarkable development and
the vastness of the country" said he,
surpassed anything l expected. The
western country, which the railroads
have developed in recent years, is o
marvel. never thought to see such
universal growth and such business
genius that caused it. | have been
astonished at the versatility Of the
american business man and mechanic,
and | especially think the American
business has a singulcrly adaptability
for anything that turns up, so that
for the moment each one is a special
ist in his line, Everything here is on
a grand scale. You can't appreciate
your own vastness unless you have
the perspective of the foreigner.
81 have visited all branches of in
dustry while here, and | do not think
the apex of your department has been
reached. There seems to be an i'm
mense strength to your men and ma
tion, virility that is incompatible. 1
can easily understand now what is
meant by the strenuous life There
seems to be no limit to your enter
prise and invention, and | can say
as one who has seen the civilization Of
Europe, Africa and Asia, that my
knowledge WIS incomplete until fin.

NOVEMBER IN MISSOURI
ne Month Was Warmer Than Usaak,
wheat Looks Well, Corn Gaia
srlng Progressing.

Columbia, Mo-, Dec. 3.-The month
Of November, 1909, averaged decidedly
warmer than usual throughout the
state. and in most sections there was
also more than the average amount OF
precipitation, very few stations re-
porting total Of less than inches,
while portions OF the southern Sec
tions received from TO over inches.
The warm, showery weather caused
wheat to make vigorous growth, but
that the plants are being injured by
rust. Much Of the early sown. par
ticularly in the central and southern
sections, has also been damaged by
Ny, and in portions Of Jasper county
some fields have been partly de-
stroyed by green louise The bulk
Of the crop, however, was sown late
and is generally reported in excellent
condition. In some counties wheat Is
becoming too rank and is being pas
tured.
In portions Of the central and east
ern sections the weather has been ia
vorabls for corn gathering and in
many localities that work is nearly
completed but in a majority of the
northern and western counties IL has
been greatly retarded by rains and
large part Of the crop still remains
in the fields. In some counties where
corn is down badly much of 1t is rot
ting, and that in shock has also been
damaged by rain In some districts.
Cotton picking, in the extreme
southeastern countieD, 10 about COM
pleted.
Fall pastures are reported short in
a few localities, but as rule they
have continued in excellent condition,
and there is an abundance OF stock
water in nearly all sections.
