HEARING Is RESUMED
Interstate Com's'n Questions Heads
of Coal Carving Roads.

New York, June S.-The interstate COM
merce commission returned to New York
to-day to continue the investigation into
the complaint of W.R. Hearst that the
coal carrying railroads have violated and
are violating the anti pooling section of
the Sherman anti trust law.
Robert NJ. Oliphant, former president
of the Delaware & Hudson, one of the
respondent railroads, was the first wit
ness. He corroborated the statements of
the other coal men who have testified that
the price of coal to the public is to be
raised 10 cents a ton a month until a
maximum increase Of SO cents a ton is
reached. He was not prepared to say
that the increased cost of production
would not exceed 80 cents. In fixing the
increase the company takes everything
into consideration. In the whole history
Of commerce there never was anything
as ignorant and stupid as the way the
coal business has been conducted, consid-
ering the usefulness and necessity of coal
and the limited supply
Mr.. Oliphant said he doubted if his COM
pany made any m oney when coal was sell
ing i'm New York at 81 or less. For the
last ten years the profits of the company
have been about per cent.

New York, June 8.-Douglass Gordon,
whose sister married Senator Hanna's SON.
has created more than mild sensation
among wealthy men about town by his
record smashing barber tip.
To George NJ Duncan, a barber at the
Hotel Cadillac shop, he presented a, check
for $1,400, remarking: II think you have
earned this, take it and buy yourself a
barbershop.'
Taking the young millionaire's advice
Duncan looked about for a favorable open

Recently, while Duncan was shaving Mr.
Gordon, he expressed the hope to one
day own a shop, but at the same time ex-
pressed doubt if he ever would have
money enough. The tip mentioned was
the outcome of this conversation.

chess game are extremely interesting.
Public sentiment is strong against the
machine, and on the side Of the admins
tration as against the merger. Public
sentiment is a hard thing to manage in a
convention campaign, however, and the
machine has the advantage Of working
like a well drilled regiment under one
leader, every move and every vote count
ing. For this reason no one would be
surprised to see machine victory next
year in the convention, tho it would be an
exceedingly. unpopular victory.
There is no cohesion between Dunn and
Van SAINT and there is not likely to be,
which is much to Heatwole's advantage
7. Dunn has not been forgiven by the gov
ernor for his pro-merger sentiments, but
I may yet put himself square with many of
the governors adherents by a public dec
. laration against railroad interference In
politics. Governor Van SAINT will not be a
candidate for the third term, and has no
desire for the nomination, but if situa-
ton arose where his name had to be used
to prevent the triumph Of the railroad
faction, he would Of course permit it.
This is what may happen if the Heatwole
machine keeps Dunn from getting com
nanding lead. The withdrawal of Dunn is
the very thing that the Heatwole men
do not want. AS already stated, they
much prefer him to Van SAINT, and if
-Dunn's nomination seemed Inevitable, they
could change their tactics and support
him with a good grace. Then they could
devote their attention to the renomina-
ton of Mills and Miller.
The HeatWole boom is being nursed in
secret, and events may prevent it from
seeing the light. Dunn may yet be sup
ported by the Heatwole machine, but at
the present time they are doing their best
| to undermine him, without actually driy-
ing him to withdraw and declare for Van

THERMOMETER DEGREES.
The Scale Invented by Newton and
AmDIfned ny Fahrenheit.

Why should the freezing point be
marked 30 degrees and the boiling
point 212 degrees on the Fahrenheit
thermometer scale? Most students
know that its inventor divided the
space between these points into $50
degrees instead OF the simpler 100 de.

but few understand how this number
came TO be chosen. 4 writer thus ex-
plains the matter:
The thermometer was really invented
10y Sir Isaac Newton He started his
scale with the heat OF the human body
and used as his instrument a glass tube
filled with linseed oil. The lowest fig
ure on the scale was the freezing point
aad the highest point boiling water.
The starting point OF this scale, as
mentioned, was the heat OF the human
body, which he called by the round
number -, as the duodecimal system
was then In common use. He divided
the space between the freezing point
and the temperature OF the body into
u points and stated that the boiling
point OF water would be about 80. as
the temperature must be nearly three
times that OF the human body.
When Fahrenheit took I'D the subject

instrument. but, finding the scale not

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3.

On Tuesday, November 3, from
sun-up to shutdown, from early
morn to dewy eve, the citizens of
this county will be afforded an OBJ
portunity under the election ma
chinery of the State To say what
kind of officers shall serve them In
the next few years. On that day
the people are TO select a sheriff.
a Commonwealth attorney. a
treasurer, a commissioner of the
revenue, and supervisor for each
district. They are also TO select
magistrates and other minor Off
GERS. 1t is by no means to be for
gotten that State Senator is to be
selected at the same time. and that
this Is the only candidate who has
Republican opposition. 1t is nee
essary for all candidates who wear
the Democratic colOrs to get out
the vote. If the people of the
county want 4 representative in
the next legislature who will speak
their wishes in the matter of select
ing United States Senator, then
they must decide whether Fulton
or Pritchard shall represent them
in the next General Assembly of
Virginia. A Republican candidate
will not be obliged to respect the
choice of the primary held to select
a United States Senator, or the
democratic nominee of said pri-
mary for that position. The only
way the people of this county can
hope to have their say in the mat
ter will be to select Democratic
Representative in the State Senate.
The question now is not who shall
be our nominee, as that question
has been settled. The question is
shall we support that nominee, he
being clean end honest man. a
citizen of neighboring county, or
shall we allow the sinking little
Judases, who pose as Democrats.
to stab our nominee in the back!
That is the question, and there is
but one way TO answer it, and the
good people of Clarke will answer
it as they have ever answered such
questions in the past. VIII you
have a Democratic Senator or a
Republican Senators That's the
question. Let every Democrat
