A TONGAN PRAYER.
Dying duplication of an Old Native
Was That of Our Late
President.

In connection with the dying prayer
uttered by Mr.. Mckinley, corre-
spondent is reminded of story once
told him by Rev. DIR. Moulton, who was
for over 80 years missionary in the
Tongan islands, says the London
Chronicle. On one of his periodical
visits to the smaller islands he landed
at one rarely visited even by the mis-
sionaries, and there heard that an old
Tongan, who had some years before
been converted to Christianity, was
dying. The doctor fastened to the hut
of the sufferer, and there curious
sight met his view. The old man had
been propped up by his friends SO that
he chung by his two arms to beam
stretching across the room. There he
half hung, half stood, and with closed
eyes and a face drawn with agony he
remained constantly murmuring some
words. The doctor drew silently near
to listen, thinking that the dying man
was making some last request. Judge
of my establishment" he said, in relat-
ing the incident, "when heard these
words uttered over and over again-in
Tongan, of course: Nearer, o God, to
Thee! Nearer to Theel' In those days,
almost 40 years ago." added the doc
tor, "the hymn of the cultured, sanity
English woman had not reached the
Iongan natives, but the same spirit
that inspired the thought in her doubt
less inspired it in the heart of that
poor, untutored Christian Tongan."

WILL SEEK HIGHER WAGES.
United Mine Workers Convention Mt
indianapolis to Consider Im-
pOftant Matters.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2O.-Dele-
gates are tiocking to this city for the
thirteenth annual convention of the
U. M. w. of America, which begins
Monday forenoon at ten a. m. in
Tomlinson hall. 1t is understood that
the miners will present demand for
an increase of at least ten per cent.
over the wages they now receive, but
it is almost equally certain that the
operators will make stubborn re-
sistance. The agreement that now
exists between the miners and oper-
ators as to wages was made here two
years ago and ratified at the joint
conference at Columbus, O., last year.
The miners feel that they are now
entitled to an advance, inasmuch as
the same scale has prevailed for two
years. The fact, however, that they
have failed to unionize West Virginia
may prevent them from getting the
raise, as the operators of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois who
sign the competitive agreement
charge that the West Virginia oper-
ators who pay nonunion wages are
enabled to undersell them. The joint
conference of the miners and oper-
atorS begin January 30.

TWO ODD MEETINGS.
One Was In Jerusalem, the Other at
the Tomb of Grant in New
York,

Five years ago two travellers met at
the entrance to Jerusalem-a dignified
Englishman and a genial young Ameri-
can missionary, affirms the New Voice.
They were strangers to each other and
informally entered into conversation.
Passing the wall which surrounds the
hallowed spot, the American flung him
self from his donkey, and scra tching
some leaves from vine which clam
bered along the base of the wall said,
with glowing face: "See! 1 have
found some sacred hyssop." Sorry to
undeceive YOU said the imperturbabie
Englishman, "but that is merely our
old-fashioned chicken weed" In an
other hour they parted good-naturedly
and, as they had met, strangers. Early
in April, 1899, two men stood side by
side gazing into the crypt where lies
the body of Gen. Grant. Neither had
noticed the other until the incidental
remark of one, Undoubtedly great
man." uttered in tones of unmistaka-
BILE sincerity. caused the other to raise
his head. A look of mutual recogni-
ton was the result. well, we'll! Old
WALL" said the speaker.
Say, friend" said the missionary, IT
arrived in New York from Japan last
night. There is $1,000 on deposit for
me in the - bank, but not soul here
knows me, and need the money. Will
you identify me?" "Of course I will"
said the Engishman, heartily, land be
glad to do it. What's your name?"

COAL WASTED IN MINING.
Twenty-Five Per Cent. of the Total
Output of English Mines
Annually Lost.

1T has been recently computed
that more than 50,0o0,000 tons of coal
are wasted every year in the mine."
So said j. Stephen Jeans in address,
ing the South Wales Institute of En-
gineers, reports the London Tele-
graph. This waste is that mainly of
small coal, and is, of course, quite in
dependent of the reckless and useless
consumption that goes on in nearly
every domestic CRATE and ut every
furnace. Even this huge figure is
less than it used to be, for, with the
general adoption of coal washing
plants, the introduction of producers
capable of using small coal in the
making of gas and the manufacture
of briquettes, the loss has been re-
duced. 1t forms still 90 per cent. of
the total output, and represents
money sacrifice of ;e20,OOO,OOO. AL
lowing 100000 homes in the United
Kingdom, these 100000 tons would
allow five tons per annum for every
family. A high authority (Forster
Brown) reckons that at the existing
rate of consumption (and waste)
"within 40 years from the present
time an increase in the cost of coal
will begin to be felt as new element
in the commercial position of the ma
ton" Mr.. Jeans thinks this esti-
mate too pessimistic, but if we allow
twice 40 years it is terribly short
time in the life of a nation. Most
people ignore the fact that the ex-
haustion has begun. In the North
cumberland coal field most of the
thick seams are worked out, and it
has now become necessary to work
seams from two feet to two feet six
inches thick, which is reducing the
output per man by from is to 20 per
cent.

CARRIES MONSTER PETITION.
webster Davis Succeeds in Securing
2l2,GO4 Signatures to Appeal for
Sympathy for Beers.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 2o.-Webster
Davis started for New York Friday
night with petition carrying The sig
natures of 212,6o4 citizens of the south
and west, which eventually are to go
before congress, asking for national
sympathy for the Beers. These sig
natures have been received in answer
TO an appeal sent out by Mr.. Davis some
TOUR months ago, and are addressed to
'he several congressman, asking them
70 vote for a resolution already
framed for them. The petition asks
congress to declare:
That the people of the United States
reel a strong sympathy with the people
OF the South African republic and the
orange Free State; that they are panied by
tne report OF the present sufferings of this
Shrlstian people, and they unite in the
nope that this declaration, which they feel
IL their duty to make, will be favorably
considered by the government of Great
Britaln in settlement of their UNI ortun-
ate differences"
Mr.. Davis will not deliver the petit
ton in Wilmington himself, but in
tends to turn it over to the Boer consul
IN New York, by him to be placed in the
proper hands. The documents are in
sheet form, foolscap size, and when
packed for transit filled four steamer
trunks.

THE HoHENzoLLERN SAILS.
German Imperial Yacht Leaves Kiel
for New YorIS-Nlany Cities
Want pcincc Henry.

Kiel, Jan. 2o.-The imperial yacht
Hohenzollern sailed for New York at
$50 Saturday morning.
Washington. Jan. 20.-The commit
tee charged with the arran gements for
the reception and entertainment of
Prince Henry Saturday decided that it
would be impossible to yield to the re-
quests ofmany cities to have the prince
visit them. 1t is likely, besides New
York. Washington and Niagara Falls,
the journey will include Chicago only
of the large cities. 1t also was decided,
owing to the tide, to have the launch
occur on the original date, February 25.
This will necessitate two trips on the
part of the prince between New York
and Washington.
The prince will come to Washington
from New York, arriving here on the
morning of February "a. He will be
met at the station by handsome mill
tary escort and conveyed to the Ger
man embassy. He will next visit the
president at the white house and the
president will return his call at the
German embassy. Some time Monday
evening the presidential party and the
prince will leave Washington for New
York and they will see the launch about
half-past ten O'Clock Tuesday morning.
This plan involves return to WASH
ington of the entire party and it is
likely that on the Goth the prince will
be entertained at dinner at the white
house. On the 9th he is to be one of
the company present at the capitol
when Secretary Hay delivers the Nc
Kinley memorial address to congress.
After few social exchanges the
prince, in charge of the reception COM
mittee, will start on short tour, wind
ing up at New York in time to sail on
the Columbia on March 8 for Germany.
These plans have been communicated
to the German ambassador here and,
SO far as they stand approved by
him and the prince himself, Ito whom
they will be cabled), they will be car
ried out.

NO PUBLIC ADDRESSES.
President Roosevelt to Refuse All
Invitations Until After Con-

Washington, Jan. 2o.-President
Roosevelt has decided to decline all
invitations to deliver public speeches
until congress has completed its work
for the session. Exceptions will only
be made in cases like the Charleston
exposition, where circumstances seem
to require his presence in his Off
cial capacity. The president made
this statement Saturday to Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, who invited
him to attend the dedication of SOL
diers' and sailors monument in I'M
dianapolis in May and also to attend
the banquet of the National Manufac-
turers' association at Indianapolis
May 81. The president said in pursu-
ance of the above policy that he

Washington, Jan. 20.--Minister WI

connection with the restoration to the
Chinese government of the value of the
silver bullion, amounting to $376,600,
which was captured by the American
marines at Tientsin, forming part of
the revenue of the salt customs. This
money would have been restored long
ago, and, indeed, Secretary Long had
contemplated turning it over soon aft
er it fell into the possession of the ma
rines, but in the disorgantzed state of
the Chinese government there was no
official to whom it could be handed.
Minister WI has now been authorized
by his government to receive this
money, and it will be given to him in
the shape of draft on the treasury,
where the money is deposited, which
may be readily exchanged for bills on
