REVENUE STAMPS FOR FUEL.
Over $1,00O,0O0 Burned in Washington When Coal Was Scarce.

Washington, Dec 12.-The bureau of enraying and printing had money to burn last month and saved money by burning it. Forty thousand dollars worth of revenue stamps, mixed with the regular fuel, were shoveled into the furnaces every day for month, and as a consequence the price of ton of coal was saved every twenty-four hours. Had not the revenue stamps redeemed by the treasury department following the repeal of the war taxes, been used in heating the building they would have been destroyed in the big brick furnace built expressly for the purpose. Owing to the high price of anthracite coal and the scarcity of the fuel aamthe bureau it was thought best to get some good out of the tons of waste stamps that represented a value of over a million dollars. This is the first time i'll the history of the bureau that such use has ever been made of condemned stamps: and the precedent will probably be followed on future O.. casions.

PACKERS PLAN A RAILWAY.
To Connect Cattle Centers and Make

To Connect Cattle Centers and Make
 Them Independent.
 Chicago. Dec 12.-A dispatch from Kansas City says: Armour, Swift and allied interests are planning the ulti- mate connection of Chicago, Sioux City. Omaha, St Joseph and Kansas City by a double track railway, with perhaps an extension into Texas and the cattle country of the southwest.
 By this means the packers will be able to ship stock in their own cars over their own rails to any of the cat tie centers of the country
 They will be able to buy at advan- tageous prices at one place and route the cattle for slaughter to some other city.
 Coupled with the Texas line it means control of the cattle from the time they leave the ranges until they are dressed for market.
 With such railway as the one pro posed ill operation, the packers will be able to defy railroads and their tariffs, at least west of Chicago. The project has already taken almost tangible form in the active planning for rail- road to connect Kansas City and St Joseph. This, however, is merely the first step toward bringing the packing centers into closer touch with each other.

COAL. SITUATION
Dealers Afraid to Take Orders Lest Coal Should Be Delayed.
SOME DEALERS ARE ALL OUT.
What They Have on Hand is Being Dished Out in Very Small Quantities
 Demand Has Been Very Heavy the Past Week.

Coal is scarcer in this city to-day than It mas been Ill some tlme. All tne dealers have stopped SeiilnS coal With the exception oL tranK Mnier & Co and the Guy Lumber and Coal Co. The latter is only selilng soft coal. At the oInce of me City LumDer and Coal Co a Democrat reporter was told. that the company had stopped selling coal with the exception or egg coai, which is used very little by the mass of people. We received enough or ders on Wednesday for all the coal we have on hand,' representative of the company said. We expect to receive some coal during the early part of next week, but it would be useless to take orders for it, as it might be delayed and then the people would be disap- pointed and would vent their wrath upon us."
 A representative of Frank Miller & Co said to q Democrat reporter this morning: 'Yes, we are still selling coal, but we are about the only com pany that is doing so. Our supply is small and may be all sold out by to- night. The demand for coal during the past few days has been without precedent. Coal is not coming in very fast and is being sold about as quickly as it arrives. We received letter from Greene Kendrick to-day, who is now residing in New Haven, asking for some coal for his West Main street residence. The letter stated that the coal supply in New Haven is very poor. He has given up the idea of receiving fuel to heat his residence in the Elm city and has gone to live in a hotel. Coal is selling for $11 wholesale in New Haven to-day. The freight rate has also been raised, so that coal costs just a little more than formerly. The out look is not very encouraging

SCHOOLTEACHERS GAR FARES
Officials Say They Amount to
 $fOO,OO0 a Year.

There Are Eleven Thousand Teachers

 Cent of Them Pay This Amount, as
 the Others Walk.
 New York, Dec 12.-"A conservative estimate of the amount of money paid by the teachers for car fare in Great CT New York each year is not less than $1OO,000," said well known school official yesterday. "This sum is paid by the 75 per cent of the teachers who ride to and from their schools on the five days each week. 1t applies to only ten months in the year, as we'll"
 There are 11,OOO teachers in New York city. At least TOGO live at a dis tance from the schools in which they teach. Allowing for holidays, double fares and in some cases two sessions in widely separated schools. the trolley and railroad companies gather ill q fair percentage of the money paid by the city for educational purposes.
 Tn the suburban schools of Brooklyn 90 per cent of the school teachers pay $20 a year for transportation On cels tain lines Of cars from 3 o'clock until 3:30 each afternoon the percentage of school teachers among the passengers is said to be about two-thirds.
 Many efforts have been nade to obtain a reduction Of fare for the school teachers" said the same official but it seems to be impossible. School children and their teachers who ride over certain lines every day ought to receive a certain consideration"
