That part Of Somaliland in north
east Africa forming a border land be-

night under the auspices of the nation

committee. Mr.. Shaw touched upon
purely national issues. During the
course of his talk some one in the

a great deal of the trouble. Speaking
to the suggestion. he criticised former
Senator David B. Hill for favoring
such a platform and said that it would
cost the government rs per cent more

INCREASE PRICE OF COAL.
Cost of Production Increased, as r.
suit Of the Strike.

Cost Of Production Increased, as Re-
suit Of the Strike.
Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-1n view OF
the resumption of mining of anthracite
coal. President Baer yesterday made
public the following letter to General
Manager Henderson,:
THE reports of the superintendent
in charge of the mines show that, as
a result of the strike, the mines and
mining plants have sustained consid-
cradle injury and their respective
working organizations have been i'm
paired. For some time to come the
golfers cannot be worked to produce
their average quantity of coal. This
will increase the cost of production.
Estimates have been submitted show
ing the probable increase in cost per
ton at the several groups of collieries.
The general average exceeds 50 cents
per ton.
You will. therefore, add to the cir
cular price so cents per ton-thls ad-
iitional price to continue until the LIST
Of January, 1903, by which time we
hope to reach a normal condition OF
mining and production.
Notwithstanding the fact that dur
ing the strike no coal was sold by our
company over the circular price, the
price has been unreasonably advanced
to the public by some retail dealers.
In the distribution of the coal, there
fore. you WILL so far as practicable,
supply the dealers who are willing to
sell coal to the public at nominal
prices. Where dealers seek to obtain
an unfair profit from the public, you
will promptly take steps to supply the
reasonable demands of the public di-
rectly."
The opinion is expressed by Mr..
Henderson that the prices for white
ash egg. stove and chestnut coal. de-
livered to householders in the city OF
Philadelphia. should not, in any case.
exceed $685.

August, who was killed by driving in

A FEW USEFUL HINTS.
or Particulars Value to Women Who
Like to Dress Becomingly on a
Small Income.

The rich girl is not always the
only girl who is the well-dressed one.
The young woman who has to make
over, Turkish up and remodel her
hats and frocks is frequently as
modishly attired as her better-off sis
ters.
Of course, it takes lots of time and
skill, as well as eleverness, to make
old things look as well as new; but
then it pays to curl feathers and
clean ribbons when the hat is finished
and the gown is donned, and it just
looks lovely. For the maid who has
to make over and yet wants to look
nice here are a few useful hints to
help her ON her economical ways:
Feathers which have become soiled
may be washed in hot water and
soap. Soft water should be used.
Rinse thoroughly to get the soap out.
Brush quilts with a nail brush or
hair brush.
Wash ostrich feathers in the same
way, and after rinsing thoroughly
pass them through warm solution
of oxalic acid. After this they should
be starched in plain starch.
The fibers of ostrich may be curled
with curling iron that is not very
hot. Steam the fibers before curling,
Feathers are also curled with dull
knife, drawing the fibers between the
thumb and edge of the knife. Hold
lightly and do not curl too tight
Do not curl the entire length, but
only at the end of each fiber.
Light-colored feathers may be
washed in benzine without detriment
to their curl or color.
Wings and fsncy feathers are very
satisfactorily cleaned by washing III
benzine. After drying and plumln9
with brush, white wings should be
rubbed with magnesia.
Some all-silk ribbons and pieces OF
silk may be washed in soft water,
using a pure white laundry soap. 1t
is well to try small pieces first, for
all dyes will not stand the process
Wash gently and rinse thoroughly
Roll in towel and iron under tissue
paper when partially dry. Do not
wiring the ribbon or silk, but squeeze
the water out by running through a
wringer with towel or squeeze be-
tween the palms of the hands. Rib
bons and silks should be ironed while
damp.
Silks are often satisfactorily
cleaned in gasoline or benzine. In
using either of these sufficient guam
tity must be used to cover entirely
the piece being cleaned, otherwise
the result will not be satisfactory
It hardly seems necessary to repeat
the caution about not using either OF
these inflammable liquids near fire;
but it must be remembered they are
very dangerous.-Chicago Tribune.
The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1902-12-17
HERE AND THERE.

Some men will make pure-bred
flock of fowls produce like mongrels,
and others with mongrel flock will
make them profitable. 1t depends a
great deal on the man, you see.
Unsuccessful attempts have been
made to grow cotton in southern Cal
ifornia, by the department of agri
culture. The government expert re-
ports that the plants failed to ma
ture.
1t requires more feed to Iatten
a pig in winter than in warm wealth
er. 1t requires less food in winter
if the pig has a good shelter, a warm
bed and a few bed-fellows to help
keep him warm.
Horses differ in mental power,
just as men do. Some are sensible,
some are idiotlc and some are man
1acs. The first can be made very val
liable, the second can not, and the
third class are always dangerous.
We shall find no better opportuni-
ty to make repairs than now Roofs
may leak; therefore they need attend
ing to. Windows may need new glass
and we shall find many other things
about the place needing careful in
spection.
Speaking of dark-mcated, white
meated and yellow-meated fowls, did
anyone ever hear any complaint about
the color of the skin when the fowl
appeared perfectly cooked on the TIA
BILE? The color prejudice is without
foundation.
Poultry houses should be well
filled in with sandy soil or gravel, SC
as to be foot higher than the sur
rounding ground. This is to keep the
house dry and prevent diseases that
result from the fowls running on
damp ground. A good cement floor is
better.
I'm saving manure more attention
should be paid to the liquid excre-
tions which are generally wasted.
This can be done by having plenty
of bedding or by the use Of absorb
ents, such as land plaster or peat.
That most available on most farms
is damaged straw or hay.
The best pasture is one that stays
with you. Alfalfa stays; therefore it
is the best pasture. The best hay
plant is one that only has to be plant
ed once, and that is rich in nutritiye
| qualities. Alfalfa has only to be
planted once Ton suitable land) and it
is rich in nutritiye qualities.
The most profitable pork hog is
the one that gets all his growth with
in eight or nine months. Long be-
fore even this nge the amount Of feed
required to make a pound Of pork
begins to increase, and pigs that are
kept over winter are liable to eat
their heads off.
