There was large house at the
Auditorium last night, where Harry
Wards minstrels sang and danced
their way into the good graces of the
audience. There was plenty of ap-
plause, and the performance de-
served it. 1t was creditable affair,
both scenically and vocally. The
opening set was more elaborate than
any that has been seen at the big
house this season, and would haye
done credit to any troupe. Several
of the specialties introduced were
received with vociferous welcome
which made it a difficult matter for
the performers to get off the stage.
Harry Ward himself was one of the
hits, and the dancing speciality of
liners and Neff was good example
of buck and wing dancing. There
were also some good voices in the
organization, and the singing of the
Harmonic -Four pleased the large
audience Immensely. Manager
Stainback has been very fortunate
this season with the engagements at
his house, and last night was no ex-
ception. Memphis Appeal Ava

Bloodhounds Couldn't Trail Her.

Coming up the street the other
night behind three damselsl of
color, we were fortunate enough
to hear the following conversa-
tion:
81 tells you whut, Mandy, you
better look sharp about doin'
your devilment now; Mr.. Indie
done got two bloodhounds and
when dem things gifts after you
they shore brings you back"
Mandy grunted disdainfully
and said:
"You don't know muffin about
blood hounds; l dun tried EN-
and dey can't catch de scent if
you rubs cayenne pepper or on
ions on yo feet; pears lack it
flusterates EN- so dey dunno
which way to co."
At this juncture it was our
place to turn off and we turned
without hearing the remainder
of this interesting conversation.

ss DOWN IN The MINES. A.

A local cart driver, hauling
coal about the city, became so
incensed at a mule that he
knocked it down with a whip.
He was called to account in the
police court and fined.
The little "Sudie" engine,
placed at the South Diamond
mine, was operated some last
week. We are told that Mr..
Colly Brown will be the engineer
in charge as soon as regular work
is begun.
Engineer Joe Brown, of the
No. IL engine, came near meet
ing with a serious accident last
week. A portion of the roof
over the track fell and the engine
running into same was badly
damaged. Joe escaped with
some flesh wounds.
So interested we're our miners
here in the production of coal
that they almost forgot that
Tuesday, Nov. 4th was election
day.
Foreman Longstaff was called
to the Hecla mine one day last
week to look after some contem-
plated changes in shaft. Tom
has gained quite a reputation as
an expert on shaft sinking and
repairs.
Assistant Mechanical Engineer
| N. w. Umstead had some serious
trouble with one of his eyes last
week, caused by small piece of
metal getting into it.
Many persons who use hard
coal have but little idea of the
narrow limits within which the
rich deposits are found. They
are all in Pennsylvania, and if
the whole of the three big fields
were brought together in one
compact body it would be no
larger than a county twenty-four
miles long and twenty-five miles
wide.
But when the wonderfully
productive seams and strata
down deep in the bowels of the
earth of this seemingly small
county are considered the area
in square miles has little or no
sisnificane. The best idea of its
capacity to produce coal may be
formed when it is stated that the
anthracite production reaches all
the way from 50,000,000 to co.
00O,0 tons year.
There are three principal fields,
all in the northeastern corner of
the state, the Wyoming, the
Schuylkill and the Lehigh region,
mentioned in order of their i'm
portance. In 1900 the output in
round numbers was: Wyoming,
25,0O0,000 tons; Schuylkill, 49,
500, 900 tons; Lehigh, 100000.
A recent volume showing the
mineral resources of the United
States for the calendar year 1901,
United States Geological Survey,
estimates the worlds production
of coal in 1901 at 866, 165, $40
short tons. The three great coal
producing countries of the world
are the United States, Great
Britain and Germany. The out
put of these three countries COM
bined makes up S1.61 per cent.
of the worlds total. Austria
Hungary comes fourth, France
is fifth, Belgium sixth and Rus
sia seventh. The last country,
Notwithstanding its vast area,
produces only about 6 per cent.
as much coal as the United
States.

pulled into Mason and stopped.
There was fresh guy sitting at
a window ogling the girls on the
platform. AS the train started
to pull out he waved a kiss to a
pretty girl near by and shouted:
"Good-5y darling, l will see
you later" The train pulled
down to the switch and backed
in the siding for 104. While
waiting for 104 to come, lank
six footer boarded the train and
took the fresh guy by the collar
and proceeded to mop up the
floor with him, remarking as he
left: "The next time you try to

These reports say that a coal es-
pecially adapted to the produc-
tion of coke has been discovered
there, but the probability is that
it is of the same quality as we
have here. The great demand
of late for coke is, no doubt,
mostly caused by the anthracite
coal strike opening up a market
for this fuel to take the place of
hard coal.
w. G. Wright, bookkeeper for
the Crabtree Coal Co., was over
here last Sunday on visit to
family and friends. The new
house, being constructed for his
use at Ilsley, will be completed
in about two weeks, where he
will move his family there.
If Madisonville strikes a flow
of gas while sinking a well, why
could not a good paying well be
found here?
The parties who secured the
option on coal right at Robards
have, we understand, lost out by
lapse of time limit on options.
Geo. @. Atkinson, James r.
Rash, Paul M. Moore and H. G.
Bourland, of the st. Bernard
Mining Co., will take part in
the conference of the Shrine de-
gree upon several candidates next
Saturday at Madisonville.
Mr.. John Nolan, agent for the
st. Bernard Mining Co. and r. r.
Co., combined, at Barnesley, is
in very feeble health and it is
thought will be compelled to go
south for few months. A bron-
chical trouble seems to be the
affiiction from which he has been
a great sufferer for months past.
The widow of the late Barton
! lCrutchfield, superintendent of
1 the st. Charles mine, will, we
understand, soon purchase prop
erty and move to Darlington.
A false rumor afloat last week
to the effect that the Western
Kentucky coal mines would enter
a combine, of which the ST..
Bernard Mining Co. was the
leading factor, was quickly con-
tradicted by the local correspon-
dent of leading daily papers.
The first of the month resem-
bled somewhat of holiday at
this place, as hundreds of miners
were seen in and around the
stores, ordering and having goods
delivered to their homes. This
monthly performance is a pleas
ant sight to witness. All are
apparently happy and able to
secure the desirable things of
life, if they show a willingness
to work.
! Generally speaking the public,
on the outside of those directly
engaged in the coal mining bust
ness, are possessed of the idea
that immense fortunes are made
| by coal operators and owners of
coal producing properties, and
when told the contrary they are
slow to believe. 1t is neverthe-
less fact that there is little
4 profit in the coal business, if we
can believe the statement of such
worthy men as Mr.. Fred Powell,
of Sebree, who has been actively
engaged in the coal business at
that place for several years past,
and who, for the reason that he
could not profitably run the mine
at that place, sold his interests
in the Sebree coal mine to Mr..
Ramsey, Of that place, who will
continue its oporatian. Mr..
Powell says he could make no
money, in fact not enough to
pay interests on investments,
and, desiring to get rid of the
worry for nothing, he sold out,
with the exception of the mineral
rights on about LOO acres,

PRESIDENT APPROVES IT
Not Such "A Serious Offense for
Unclassified Officers Who
Obtain Positions PO-
litically.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s0.-ActIng
President Foulk, of the civil service
commission, has addressed a commu-
nicat!on to all the executive depart
ments in regard to the part Office hol-
ders may take In politics. Attention
Is called to an order issued by Presi-
dent Cleveland, July II, 1885, contain
Ing the following:
THE influence OF federal offiee-hol-
ders should not be felt In the manipu-
lation Of political primary meetings
and nominating conventions. The use
by these officials of their positions to
compass their selection as delegates
to political conventions Is indescent
and unfair and proper regard for the
proprietles and requirements Of off,
cial place will also prevent their as
sumlng the active conduct of political
campaigns"
The communication states that this
order has never been repealed but has
been declared by President Roosevelt
TO be still in force. In constructing
1t, however. there is a distinction, Mr.
Foulk says, to be made between Of
ticers and employees who are in the
classified services and those who are
not. The letter states that those who
are outside the classified service are
chosen largely with reference to poll
tical consideration and as a rule tx
peet 10 be changed with the change
Of parties but in the classified service
the choice is made without reference
to political consideration and the Ten
ure Of office is not affected by the
change of parties. In consideration
Of this, the communication further
says the man in the classified service
while retaining his right to vote as
he pleases, has to express privately his
right to vote as he pleases, has to ex-
press privately his opinion on all poll
ticals ubiects should not take an ac'
tive part in political management or
in political connections for the same
reason a Judge or army officer is de-
| barred from taking such part.
In regard to those who are not II
the classified service, the communiea-
ton says the limitations are not SC
strict, but even in this case, ofiice-hol-
ders must not use their offices to con-
troll political movements or force the
political actions of employees. They
must not neglect their public duties
and must not cause public scandal by
their activities.
