An Abused Law of Compensation.

An Abused Law of Compensation.
Some philosopher states that the same
electric conditions which occasioned the
Mont Pelee eruptions last spring and
summer produced the frequent and
heavy rains of the same period.
The earth was thus filled with more
water than could be evaporated by the
less than normal heat of the summer,
and for this cause mild winter will be
the compensation.
All of which is credible.
The same philosophy furnishes ac-
count for the extraordinary fortune
which has blessed Frostburg's water
supply this in spite of the fact that the
authorities, who work only at the outlet
end, have drawn, and drawn, and drawn
on the springs as though there were no
end to the inlet flow.
The JOURNAL does not state these
laws of compensation by way of en-
couragement to the Town Council to go
on neglccting the inlet end of the water
system. Next year, for instance, and
for scores of years after, the electric
forces of the mundane sphere may have
something else to do than destroy people
around Mont Pelees in order that the
registered voters, delinquent taxpayers
and cattle in Mrs. Hansells field may
not thirst.
Lntcr-Since the foregoing lines We're
placed in type it is learned that the
Mayor and Council have purchased 11a,
acres of land, on which there are sew
eral springs, from a. J. Wilson, pay
ing $3.50 therefor.
For the present a temporary reservoir
will be located below the pumping
station, whence a new pump, just re-
ceived, will propel the water to the
trans-Savage reservoir. The permanent
location will be fixed later-about 600
feet distant from the station.
The pump has capacity of 200 gal
Ions IA minute.
The purchase of duplicate pump for
the station is also contemplated.
1t now appears that when the plans
underway are completed there will be
no lack of supply, for which the au-
thorities are to be duly commended.
The reservoir on this side remains to
be made leak-proof and protected from
drainage.
SIN Lnter-It is said now that the
little pump was purchased without
authority of Council, and that it is not
of the right make for out-of-door work.
But it is gratifying to know there is
sov,rthiug doing at last at the feed end.

from somebody who is very new i'll both

the JOURNAL knows that lit does not

also that no other paper anywhere does.

Dear .Sjr-It takes 5000 gallons of paint fol
the two big hotels at Coney lsland-Man
haitian and Oriental. They are painted one,
in three years with Devoe lead and zinc
Why so often? Three reasons: l) sea All
cuts paint; (2) sand in the wind cuts paint
C3) hotels especially pleasure hotels, want
freshness and color as much as protection
Once in three years is often enough and not
too often to paint hotel on windy sand

How long do you think lead and oil would
last there? One year. sthere anything for

SuBTERRANEAN NOISES.
Strange Phenomenon in the Southern
Portion of Mexico.

Mexico City, Oct. 29--The latest
news from the southern part of the
republic is that the people are less
alarmed over the shower of ashes than
when the sun was obscured. In some
places rain has come and cleared the
atmosphere. Subterranean noises arc
heard at Tuxtla and this phenomenon
appears to be general in the district
where ashes fell. There were up 20
Saturday As distinct shocks of earth
quake at San Cristobal. Palenque ad-
vices are that no change can be OBJ
served from there in the shape Of San
Juan mountain, but loud and prolong-
ed explosions are frequent. Ashes fell
all day Monday.
Scientific men in Tabasco say the
force required to precipitate such an
immense quantity of ashes over so ex-
tensive a territory would be equal to
100000 horse power.
The Indians say that the mountain
called Huistcpec is in eruption, but
this is not confirmed.

pointed last year according to the an
nual report Of ]. L. Bristow fourth as.
sistant postmaster general issued
Wednesday. This is the largest num-
Der appointed in any one year in the
history of the postal service. The in
crease was due mainly to the expira-
ton of commissions during the year
and the advance of many fourth class
offices of the presidential grade. The
total number Of appointments of post
masters of all classes was 1870, an
increase of /. 313. There was a slight
increase in the number of removals
of postmasters for cause" as a re-
suit Of a more strict discipline for
.carelessness and Irregularities. There
were 3,O38 post offices established and
4,059 discontinued, the latter attribut-
able mostly to the extension of the ru-
raj free delivery service and the con-
solidatiOn of post offices adjacent to
large presidential Offices The num-
Der of post Offices in the United States
June 80 was 1924, of which 220 were

THE WHITE HOUSE.
Executive Offices Are Practically
Ready For Occupancy.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The new ex-
ecutive Offices Of the white house are
practically ready for occupancy and
the official quarters of the president
will be removed early next>week from
the temporary white house on Jack
son place to the new buildings, ad-
joining the white house. The removal
will take place during the absence of
the president at Oyster Bay, where he
will go to vote.
Mrs. Roosevelt is expected to arrive
in Washington from Oyster Bay next
Tuesday, and it is hoped that the re-
pairs of the white house may be so
far advanced by that time as to admit
of the occupation by the presidents
family at least of the living rooms of
the mansion. It will be several weeks
before the remOdeled white house as
a whole will be ready for occupancy.

AN EXCITING RACE.
Sheriff on One Side and Marshal and a
Physician on the Other.

Valparaiso, Ind, Oct. 29-An excit-
ing race between Sheriff Lacount, Of
Porter county, upon one side and City
Marshal Billings, of Valparaiso, and
DR.. ]. G. Sharpe, Of Jacksonville, Ill,
upon the other, with the liberty of
young woman the stake. set this city
wild Tuesday afternoon. The objec-
tive point was the Pennsylvania de-
pot and upon the result of the contest
hinged the freedom Of Miss Stella Jo-
sephine Teller, cousin of United States
Senator Henry M. Teller, Of Colorado.
Miss Teller, after some family trou-
BILE concerning certain property, was
placed a half year ago in a private
insane asylum at Jacksonville. H.
She escaped from that institution
three months ago and came to this
place, where she has quietly resided
since her escape. Recently she en-
gagged legal counsel and prepared to
file a suit for $4,000 against one Of
her brothers for her asylum expert
ence. This step revealed her where
dOOulo anu LII OudIpS, VI TIE JACK

back. Arriving mere DR.. Sharpe en-
listed the services of City Marshal
Billings and went direct to the hotel
where she was stopping, placed her In
hack and started post haste for the
Pennsylvania depot. Her attorneys
were apprised of the sudden turn of
affairs and hurried to the depot with
a blank habeas corpus writ. arriving
two minutes before the train pulled
In. The writ was signed, a notary pub
lie happening to be passenger on the
train, affixed his seal, Circuit Judge
lhcMahOI fastened to grant the neces-
sary order and Sheriff Lacount by
remarkable burst of speed caught DR..
Sharpe and his unwilling protege as
the train started to pull out of the sta
ton. The Jacksonville physician was
compelled to release his former pa
tient The affair created intense ex-
element here.

HUGE COAL COMBINE.
viii Be the Strongest Bitumin-
Gus Concern in the World.
The New Companies Have Assets Of
S12o,ooo,oo0 and the Coal Output
Is Close to 100000 Tons
Year.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 29.-Negotia-
tons are under way for merging of
the Pittsburg Coal Co. and the Monon-
gahela River Consolidated Coal and
Coke Co., with their combined author
lied capitalization of $4,000 600 and
assets Of S120,OSS,5S1. Consolidation
of these interests will launch by far
the strongest bituminous concern in
the world The combined coal output
of the two concerns is close to so ,000,-
O0O tons a year The plan is to make
the Pittsburg Co. Lessee and the pur-
pose to economic operations.
Successful termination of the deal
viii end the trade rivalry which has
existed between the two companies,
either under or on the surface
The negotiations which are now on
TO bring the two big interests togeth-
er are understood to be between two
men, Presidents Francis L. Robbins,
OF the Pittsburg Coal Co., and Col. ].
3. Finley, Of the River Co.
The tentative plan is to merge the
two companies and at the same time
eliminate one Of the seemingly fun
damental principles of such moves,
which is the issuance of a new and in
creased lot of watered stock to more
than cover the combined issues of the
constituents. While tho Pittsburg
Co. viii probably become the investor
interest, there is no present purpose
to issue new stock of the Pittsburg
CO. to take over that of the river
company. Anything like a stock wa
tering deal is to be eliminated
The total assets of the Pittsburg Co.
are figured at $76,276,769, and those
of. the river company at S43,S11,812.
