compelled to postpone matters until
he could be communicated with in
London.
The result of the negotiations was
that Mr.. Morgan bought the entire
block of 100000 shares of stock from
Mr.. Gates at $3.50 share. This gave
him a total of BOG, 900 shares, which cost
him an average of SAB a share. He
then transferred his entire holdings to
the Atlantic Coast Line for $3.50 a
share, thus making a profit of 81 a
share, or something over $4,000, 900, and
it is believed he was given, and still
holds a large block of the stock.
The profits to the Gates party were
even larger. They commenced to buy
at $105 a share, and are supposed to
have divided something like $5,000,000
as their profits from the speculation.
Mr.. Gates does not pretend to have
gone into the scheme with any high
moral motives, such as Mr.. Morgan
claims to have had. His friends say
that it was not philanthropic move
ment, but purely a business transac-

BEFORE THE COMMISSION.
More Evidence Bearing on the Coal
Strike Adduced.

Philadelphia, Jan. 24.-The Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission to-day con-
cluded the examination of witnesses
called by the independent operators of
the upper coal fields. Beginning Mon
day, the individual operators of the
middle region will present their evil
dence. Among the latter is G. B.
Markle & Co., in the presentation of
whose case there is considerable inter-
est.
Nine witnesses, representing almost
as many small coal companies, were
heard to-day. Their evidence was
along the same lines as that already
introduced by the large companies.
They swore that the union miners are
not mining as much coal now as they
did before the organization of the
union; that in some instances where
demands had been granted the men
were not permitted to go to work I'M
til all men had been granted their de-
mands; that no blacklist exists among
the companies; that miners boycott
places that are hard to work; that 1t
is difficult to maintain discipline since
the men formed an organization, and
that the men are partly responsible for
the curtailment of coal.

IL. During the last two years there
have been no serious accidents, sui
cides or epidemics of disease at the
asylum.
1t is the practice of DR.. Gwinn to
encourage the employment of as many
patients as possible at something that
affords both mental and physical rec
reation. The patients are granted as
many outdoor privileges and as much
freedom from restraint and confinement
as consistent. to make the hospital as
home-1ike as possible.
During the past two years many need
ed improvements have been made
about the asylum, and the superintend-
ent in his report recommends an ex-
penditure of $3.50 for maintenance
and additions for the next two years.
The asylum at Chattahoochee is one
of the best equipped in the South. 1t
has well equipped farm, upon which

$l75,OOO to carry out the designs of
Supt. Gwinn for building an ice and
cold storage plant, erecting a power

boiler, putting in a hot water system
and making an addition to the colored

COFFEE AGAIN.
An Old Philadelphia Physician Tells
the Truth About 1t.

A physician of Philadelphia, of many
years practice, during which time he
has carefully watched the effects of
coffee drinking upon his patients,
writes:
During my practice in Philadelphia,
l have had many serious cases of stom-
ach, kidney and liver disorders which
1 have traced to the use of coffee.
Last year a fellow physician called
my attention to the merits of Postum
in the place of coffee. In many severe
cases of torpid liver. various kidney dis
eases, ETC., since then 1 have forbidden
the use of coffee and prescribed Pos
tum.
I'm many cases the results were al
most miraculous and in all there was
marked improvement, due solely to the
use of Postum in the place of coffee.
"If you wish 1t will furnish you the
names of my patients so cured.
owing to the feeling that exists
among the medical fraternity against
physicians using the columns of the
papers to advertise themselves. ] re-
quest that you withhold my name, but
you may refer any inquiries to me. q"

NOT TO SHOW NUDE STATUTE.
Work by MacMOnnies withheld
from Durand-RueI Exhibition.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FROM the BaIClmOre sun.
New York, Jan. 20.-A full-length
nude, painted by the sculptor, Fred
erick MacMonnies-the figure of a
woman reclining on a couch and with
head raised on one arm, holding out
at arms lenght a black mask just
removed from her face, with an allur-
ing smile on her lips-is not a fea-
| ture, as hadbeen planned, of an ex-
hibition of his paintings which opened
at the Rurand-Ruel galleries to-day.
Mr.. MacMonnies, as will be remem-
bered, was the sculptor of THE Bac-
chante" which, after stormy protests
from Bostonians, was removed from
the Boston Museum a few years ago
and is now in the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art in this city.
The present nude picture received
warm encomiums from Mr.. MacMon-
MES fellow-artists in Paris. M. Du-
rand-Ruel said
Il think it best not to show the pic
ture on the artists own account, re-
calling the trouble over 1.-THE Bac-
chante," and also because there are
portraits of ladies in the exhibition.
Such picture would be all right in
Paris, but its display here might cause
comment injurious to Mr.. MacMonnies,
and this / wish to avoid. Personally,
l consider it his best work"
