BIG TONNAGE.
MORE STEEL RAILS THAN EVER
TO BE USED NEXT YEAR.

The rail tonnage for the next year
continues to pile up. Additional or
ders have been placed during the
week, and the contracts booked fol-
1908 are now considerably above

ness taken by the Colorado mill. In
quiries covering large lots are still in
hand, some roads asking for a much
larger quantity than they have ever
before purchased at one time. This
shows that the heavy orders have by
no means been exhausted. The pur-
chasing power of the railroads and
their disposition to continue to make
improvements are shown by the fact
that heavy orders are coming up for
bridge work for next year. The Bur.
lington is stated to be in the market
for so, 900 tons. The Atchison road

for between 30, and $4,000 tons.

PROGRAM COMPLETE FOR THE
SECOND NATIONAL CON-
vENTION.

Cincinnati, July educational SEQ.
Rotary Anthony Matre of the American
Federation Of Catholic Societies, re-
ports the program complete for the
second national convention in Chi
cago, August 8, 6 and z, and that
the indications are that the conven.
tion will be the most representative
gathering of Catholics ever held In
this country. A general invitation has
been sent to all the clergy in the Unit
ed States to represent their parishes al
the convention. The secretary con
oludes:
"In many sections it is believed
that the federation is a political
party. This is Q serious mistake. The
objects of the federation are the ce.
menting of the bonds of fraternal un.
ion among the Catholic societies Of
the United States; the fostering and
protection of Catholic interests and
works Of religion, piety, education
and charity; the study Of conditions
in our social life and the dissemina-
tion Of the truth. In furtheranoe Of
these objects the federation does not
interfere in the least with the govern
ment of any society"

become a mother. Every faculty is keenly

uncertainty whether she shall see n sweet

DEATH OF FOOTBALL PLAYER|
Accident Which Caused 1t Oc-
 cured Six Years Ago.

His Parents Did Not Know of It Until
 Within Two Months-An Examination

 the Skull When the Accident Hap
 pened the Boy Exacted a Promise
 From His Companions That They
 Would Not Speak of It.
 Chicago, Oct 11-Max Henry Fleischer is dead as result of an in jury received in a football game six years ago. Until two months ago Fleischer's parents did not know of the accident, but as soon as his father learned of it he had an examination made which showed that the young mans skull was depressed. The skull was trepanned, revealing a diseased condition of the brain. During the last six years Fleischer had suffered from severe headaches. Several times he was found unconscious. When the &C., c1dent occurred FleiScher was 15 years old and was anxious to get place on the regular football team of his school. He was kicked on the head and was picked up in dazed condition, but ex- acted promise from his playmates not to talk of the accident for fear his mother would not allow him to play any more.

THE DEAD SEA.
Why It Remains Dead-Some Other
 Peculiarities.

Why It Remains Dead-Some Other
 Peculiarities.
 Scientific observation justifes the estimate that daily average of $500, GOO tons of water are received into the Dead Sea from the Jordan and other sources during the year. In the rainy season the amount is very much great CT; during the dry season it is, of course, very much less, but this aver age will be maintained year after year. There is no outlet and the level is kept down by evaporation only, which is very rapid because of the intense winds which the constantly blowing down from the gorges between the mountains. This evaporation causes a haze to hang over the lake at all times, and, when it is more rapid than usual, heavy clouds form and thunder storms sometimes rage with great violsnce in the pocket between the cliffs, even in the dry season. A flood of rain often falls upon the surface of the sea when the sun is shining and the atmosphere is as dry as q bone half mile from the shore. The mountains around the Dead Sea are rarely seen with dis tinctness because of this haze.
 The waters of Jordan, when they Ieacu tue SSA, are 2S DrOWQ as the earth through which they fow--a thick solution of mud-but the instant they mingle with the salt water of the laKe the particles of soil are precipitated, and they become as clear as crystal with an intensely green tint. Garry Ing so much soil and having so swift current one would suppose that the sea would be discolored for a consid- erable distance, but 1t Is not so. The discoloration is remarkably slight. The Jordan has quite delta at it's mouth, breaking into a number of streams and frequently changing it's course because of the Instructions brought down by its own current Chicago Record Herald.

Coal is selling in Waterbury today
 at $3 3 half ton, and the dealers say
 it is worth more. One of the coal men told Democrat reporter to-day that
 you cannot buy any by the car at less than $2O ton. Wood he said. 'sis $5 load, and pretty soon you cannot get it at that. Farmers are charging $9 or S1O 8 cord for it, and after we saw
 1t and deliver it there is Eot much in 1t for us at that price," 1t looks now as if people will have to manage to keep themselves warm through the coming winter with some other kind of fuel besides coal, for supposing the strike should be settled soon, some thing which is very improbable, the high prices will be kept up long enough to make it too expensive for ordinary mortals to purchase it this season. Many are preparing to use gas or gaso- lene, but the bulk of the people will try wood and soft coal, and the sooner they get supply of these the better for themselves, for if they wait until the snow flies the hardship of putting them in will be greater than it is at the present time, and the chances are that the cost will be increased, too.
 Some time ago Mayor Kilduff said Waterbury had water to burn, and those who remember the boast think this very opportune time for his honor to demonstrate the truth of the statement. It is certain that we have an abundance of water and if the mayor knows how it can be converted into fuel he will prove himself great public benefactor by letting all into a knowledge Of the secret, and every | IL
 chanting his praises the whole winter through. Everybody is putting up prices of things that go to warm up the home and if they keep on 1t will be out of the question for poor people to get hold of anything that will burn. The charcoal men have raised cents bag on their stock, and to help matters along the manufacturers of oil stoves have tackled a dollar, onto the whole sale price. The oil stoves sold at

apiece are S4 to-day, and the dealers who want to turn penny out of them are puzzled to know what to do Their customers claim that this additional
 cost is put on by themselves, and in l consequence some of them are losing
 several of their old-time patrons.
 The coal men feel that the scarcity
 of coal and the high price of wood will
 have tendency to prompt people to return to the practice of securing supply of fuel during the summer
 months. They say such a course would
 be beneficial to the dealers as well as
 to the consumers. It would give them
 an opportunity to meet the demand
 while prices are right and would re
 move great deal of the hardships en- dured in handling so much of it during the bad weather. In the past every family looked out for this but for some reason or other people fell into the habit of letting it go until the fall, with the result that they have been paying more for 1t than they would have to if they had stuck to the old | plan. Every man who has permanent
 residence should order his coal in the | spring and then let the dealers put it | in at the first favorable opportunity. This business of living from hand to | mouth doesn't pay and we have too
 much of it for the public good. If people would purchase in summer such things as will keep over winter, as they l used to do a few years ago, we would
 not have half the trouble we have
 about coal, wood, potatoes, clothing
 and other things which all need during the winter. To be sure there are many who cannot do this, bnt it should be
 remembered that there are people who
 can, but even these have become vic
 tins of habit and keep putting it off
 to the last moment, so that when such
 commodities are real necessity every
 body is looking for them at the same
 time, and the dealers, even though there might be no strike or scarcity in
 the market, are tempted to advance prices. People of means should get
 out of the market early in the season.
 In this way they would help the poor without any expense to themselves.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 11.--President Mitchell arrived here from New York shortly before 10 o'clock this morning. He steadfastly declined to talk for publication He said: "I think the best interests of the operators, the miners and the public will be sub- served by my remaining silent.'
 MT Mitchelps attention was called ito the letter of Vice-PreSident Will COX of the Delaware 6 Hudson Go to President Roosevelt in which he maintains that the Miners union is an illegal organization The strike leader hesitated to say anything for a moment and then replied: The Min ers' union is organized along the same lines as all labor unions in the coun- try. If the miners organization is Illegal so are all the others; and l say OUT union is not illegal"
 MT Mitchell had an engagement in Boston tomorrow, but he was compel led to-day to cancel it owing to a pressure of business here. There was rumor that he would go to Wash iTgton. but he denied 1t.
 The leaders of the strike are now looking to the American Federation of Labor to help them in their fight.
 
 Washington. Oct 11.-President Roosevelt is seeking every method by which he may be able to take federal action in settling the coal strike. His cabinet advisers have been requested to look carefully into the laws which may have a bearing on the case and see if there is any statute under winch he can proceed. So far nothing has been found There is one ray of hope, but it is faint, in view of the attitude of the operators. This is that some mutual ground of arbitration may be found.
 Harrisburg, Pa, Oct 11.-Twenty- five cars of anthracite coal mined and broken this week at the colliery of the Lykens Valley Coal Co were ship ped from Lykens yesterday. There was no demonstration as the cars were started. The breakers at Lykens and Williamstown are being operated without interference.
