today, accompanied by Mr.. Kelley. The
main object of his visit was to confer

of his tour over the state for the xepress
purpose of visiting the deputy inspect

Mr.. Paul says the state has been very
fortunate of recent months in the matter
of but few fatalities in the mining re-
gions and he. seemed much pleased that
this is true.
In speaking of the progress of tho
state, he says there is the largest coal
development Mt the present time in the
history of West Virginia, and especially
along the Kanawha. In that section there
is a great amount of construction of
railroads into the various coal fields and
the coal development in that section in
the immediate future will be such that
the railroad facilities will not be able
to move more than as per cent of the
production There is also a good deal
of slack water and river transportation,
which win become large factor in the
coal markets. "AboUt the same bene-
fetal Effects" says Mr.. Paul, "have re-
suited to the towns IN the southern por-
tion of the state from the coal develop
ment have resulted, as have to Clarks-
burg and Fairmont from the development

Coronation Robes
 Attract Attention.

The beauty of the coronation gown and the ermine-lined mantle of the ezarina of all the Russias was on the lips of every woman who got glimpse of this royal robe yesterday as it shimmered beneath the electric lights.
 The gown is being displayed for the first time in the south by Louis saks It has been on exhibition in this country since the Pan-American exposition, ana it is pronounced the most wonderful gown ever brought to America. Its inter esting history has been told throughout the country. The richness of the ma terials, the quantity of gold used in the embroidery, the number of ermine skins used in the lining, are themes that never grow old to the women who have read it's fascinating story
 That the gown has never been worn deepenss the pathetic side of the story. since the story of the gown is but the story of a woman's courage, woman's disappointment, a woman's tragic death The gown is fashioned of the heaviest white satin, the embroidery being traced with gold that the most famous jewellers
 
 setting for jeweled tiaras. The robe Of royal purple is twenty-seven yards in length and nine feet in width.
 Seven thousand dollars worth of er- mine was used in lining the robe and ten thousand dollars worth of gold in it's establishment. The materials are of the heaviest and richest that could be obtained, and no one but a woman, a woman mad for fame and fortune, could have designed the intricate establishment of gold that glitters against the rich tints of the robe.
 The gown is without wearer, but any one who ventures to touch the ermine- lined robe trailing it's purple length down a carpeted aisle, feels that the gown must have once adorned a dazzling court beauty or perhaps, the spirit of Madame Baruth herself, whose dead body was found in front of this gorgeous creation, entered this glttering and priceless monu- ment to her folly.
