From the Boston Transcript.

Undoubtedly the most marvellous tree in
the world grows in Brazil. 1t is the carna-
huba palm, and can be employed for many
useful purposes. Its roots produce the
same medicinal effects as sarsaparilla. Its
stems afford strong, light fibers, which ac-
quire beautiful luster. and serve also for
joists. rafters and other building materials.

making arrangements to bring several
thousand New York children to this
part of the state during the warm
months. The coal region towns in past
years have been extremely liberal in
helping along this worthy charity, but
with changed conditions here this year
it would not be asking too much from
the New Workers to alter the usual pro-
gram by finding homes in the metropolis
during the strike for few thousand
breaker boys.
These lads are too young to seek en-
ployment elsewhere and as the schools
here are all closed they could spend a
few months in New York with profit

C. & !. POLICE
FOR MARKLE
Governor Appoints IS for
the Jeddo Firm.
Operators Say They Will
Protect the Men Who Are
Engaged to Fire and Pump
at Their CoIIieries.

Protest by the United Mine Workers
against the anthracite coal operators
flooding the strike region with coal and
iron policemen does not seem to have
had any effect upon Governor Stone.
Commissions were issued last night to
100 policemen, which has been the aver
age daily issue since the strike was de-
clared, and 159 additional commissions
await the executives signature.
District Presidents Fahy, Nichols
and Duffy discussed this matter at their
conference with Governor Stone and
Attorney General Elkin on Tuesday,
and tried to convince the state officials
that the presence of these policemen
was not necessary to preserve order In
the strike territory. The mine leaders
said there was no disposition among the
strikers to interfere with the legal
rights OF the operators or injnre their
property and that they could see no
good in overrunning the region with
policemen.
There have been 1898 coal and iron
police commissions issued to the opera
tors in the anthracite region, or an
average of nearly five policemen to
coliery, during the past two weeks.
Thirty-three Of those issued yesterday
were applied for by the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company,
and the remainder by the Summit Val
ley and Lehigh Valley Coal Companies.
Fifty-fve commissions were mailed last
night to G. b. Markle & Co., of Jeddo.
The unsigned commissions were applied
for by the Delaware and Hudson Coal
Company, and will be signed and mailed
today.
The state receives fee of 81 for each
commission. The commission is sent to
the recorder of the county In which the
operator or company making applica-
tion is located. The applicant gets the
paper from the recorder, by whom the
policeman isqualiied. When the opera
tors have no further use for the police
men, the recorder Is notified, and he
revokes his commission.

may arise over the calling out of pump
men, firemen and engineers. The sher-
If said he did not place any credence In
the story, that all was peace and quiet
ness in the county and there was no oc-
cason for taking such step.
AS to the statement that the operators
could not depend on the sheriff to give
them adequate protection, Sheriff ia
cobs remarked that none of the com
panies made any complaints to him or
asked for any assistance since the strike
