Somewhere in the mails between here
and Chicago there is said to be a letter
offering the st. Paul school board hard
coal at SO so ton. 1t is now paying $8.75
ton.
This was rumor flying about the city
hall yesterday when the purchasing com
mittee Of the board met to place its an
nual contract for coal, but as. nothing tan
gible was in evidence the members gave
1t no heed.
The contract for the seasons coal,
which amounts to about $4,000 was given
to the Jones-Adams company, though not
without some protest from the Holmes
McGaughey company. which contended

The Jones-Adams company won the con-
tract on it's proposal to furnish wood fuel
at 25 cents a cord. 1t was too good a
thing to pass up and was accepted in
a hurry. This price was contingent upon
the company getting the entire coal con-

Special Foreign Service.
LONDON, Aug. lit seems that
Richard Croker was one of the heaviest
losers over the defeat Of FoXhall
Keene in the recent motor race in Ire
land. He backed his fellow American
heavily in London with a firm of book
makers who have begun to make q
speciality of motor racing. In spite Of
the fact that he lost his money, he still
thinks that Foxhall Keene is the best
motorist in the field, and he declared
on his return to London that he would
back him against the world provided
he was driving a car whose machinery
would stand the test of high speed.
Crokers son, BERTHE, has been prac-
ticing high speed lately, and it is ex-
pected that he, too, may figure In the
next big motor contest. He has been
travelling on the continent for some
months and had a course of lessons
in motor driving from some of the best
English and continental experts.

THROWS LIGHT ON
FISCAL SCHEME
Colonial Secretary De Clares He
Has Never Suggested a Tax
on Raw Materials and That
His Policy if Adopted Would
Not increase Cost of Living.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain, replying to request
for a short, definite statement of his
fiscal proposals, has written:
Il have never suggested any tax
whatever on raw materials, such as
wool or cotton, and believe that such a
tax would be entirely unnecessary for
the purposes 1 have in view; namely:
For mutual preference with the colo
MES and for enabling us to bargain for
better terms with our foreign Compel
itors AS regards food. there is MOTH
ing in the policy of tariff reform which
1 have put before the country which
need increase in the slightest degree

country"

The Sisters Of Charity in charge of
Mount Saint Nincent's orphanage have
issued instructions to the people of
Denver asking that no further assist
ance be given those women who are
soliciting aid presumably for the or
phange, but who in reality are pure
Shams. The two women have been
canVassing the city for two weeks sup
posedly securing funds for the asylum
and the sisters say they are doing it
without authority and that the orphan
age is receiving no benefit from them.
Mother Mary Peter, who is superior
ess of the orphanage. said: We come
10 the people of Denver twice yearly
asking for their suppOrt-in the summer
Tor aid in giving our annual picnic, and
in mid-winter for the charity ball. We
feel that these two calls are quite suffi-
Gent in the name of charity, and we
therefore want to warn the people that
We are not now canvassing again"
The two women who are doing the
collecting were first discovered about
three days ago when they appeared at
the home Of Mrs. Joseph P. Donley, 3O37
Julian street. and requested that they
be given 10 cents. Mrs. Donley is pres
ldent Of the st. Vincents Aid society
and Immediately reported the matter to
that organization. with the result that
steps were taken without delay to put
stop TO their canvassing. The Sisters
81 Charity feel very much annoyed over
The affair. About a year ago the same
question arose. Two strange women
sold tickets for supposed charity ball
IN the Catholic homes of Denver. and it
was later discovered that the tickets
were bogus.

WE ARE ALL DEPENDENT.

! There is no such thing as absolute
independence in this world. Those who
are mightiest are oftentimes the weak
est when their power is taken away.
| Who is more hopeless than rich man
| bereft OF his inherited treasure? And
even when endowed with that for
which he has not labored his depend
ence was created than when in power
~. His wants were greater and it re-
quired more to supply them: more SER
wants were needed; more desires must
be gratified more wishes must be pan
dered to. He needed artists, sculptors
and footmen, villas by the seas and in
the mountains, and for the qualification
of all such desires and fancies he was
dependent upon others.
Others must bow to him. drive for
him, run errands for him and cater to
his wants. He must be fed by the gro
Ger, clothed by the tailor. housed by the
builder, shaved by the barber, doctored
by the physician, embalmed by the I'M
dertaker, prayed over by the priest and
his final home prepared by the grave
digger. Poor man! He pretended 20
independence, but for every breath he
breathed he was indebted to an over
ruling Providence. For the light of
day he was dependent upon the sun;
for the beauty of his ancestral estate
upon the clouds of heaven.
What would he have that did not
come from others? His education, the
adornment of his home, the carpets on
the floor, the statuary in the hall, the
paintings on the wall, the silver on
the table, the books he reads, the mu-
sic he sang-how little he possessed
that was not fashioned by other hands
than his. After all. what little reason
there is for any man to eXalt himself
above his fellows Humility becomes
the greatest as well as the least.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND's HAT.

IF the red hat comes to Arch
bishop Ireland" said warm admirer
of the Archbishop of St Paul the other
day, 1T will be the first time he will
have changed his headgear for just
seventeen years.
That is one of Archbishop Ireland S
hobbies. He has probably had more
hats sent to him than any other min
lister in America. but he has never dis
carded his old Stetson for any of them
except once for five minutes, and
that is a good story.
II am told that he has topped that
head of his with but two hats in seven
teen years, and that when one of them
is dusty or droopy and misshapen to a
very marked degree the archbishop re-
luctantly sends it off to be cleaned and
blocked and in the meantime wears
the substitute.
The time he discarded the Stetson?
That was some time ago-about five
years 1 think. 1t was at a dedication
of a public building in st. Louis. He
was to officiate
"All of the officials were great
friends of his. One of them-R. C.
Kerens, L think it was-suggested to
him that every gentleman there would
appear in a silk hat and strongly hint
ed that the archbishop of st. Paul
would be decidedly conspicuous if he
were an exception.
I think you are mistaken said the
archbishop. I believe | know one gem
tleman who will wear Stetson.
However, T$>an the day of the dedi-
cation arrived Archbishop Ireland fin
ally decided to purchase II silk hat. He
carried it in his carriage and during
the drive wore his traditional head COW
ering.
Arrived at the scene of the dedica-
ton, he reluctantly donned the more
appropriate hat and, unrecognized by
a number of his old friends, passed to
his allotted place The moment the
ceremony was completed, however he
sought his carriage. chucked the tall
hat under the seat and with sigh of
relief pulled the time-honored slouched
hat snugly over his bullying brow. And
it is said he has not worn a tall hat
since"

This city is wild with excitement over
a great gold discovery made on Owl
creek. a few miles from here. A regu-

pose of making locations. If half what

made in Montana in many years. Pan

gets worth from 25 cents to 80 cents
each, right at the surface. While the
magnitude of this strike sounds like

has been substantiated by so many
citizens as to it's richness that there
can be no room for doubt.
