GERMANY'S DENIAL.

The German government has sent a
note to the United States relative to the
report that Germany is seeking to ac-
quire Colombia's interests in the Pana-
ma Canal Company. The note afiirms
that the report is utterly baseless, and,
it is understood, expresses the opinion
that Germany's commerce would be
benefited BY the construction Of the
canal by the United States. 1t is learned
at the State Department that Ambassa-
dor Tower has received from the German
foreign Office an unequiyOcal denial Of
the statement that found some currency
few days ago, to the effect that the
German government was endeayOring to
secure control of the Panama Canal
franchise. The Ambassador advice did
not credit the German government with
any feeling for or against the canal en-
terprise, but it is gathered that the state
of the public mind in Berlin, certainly
in commercial circles, is favorable to
American construction because Of the
benefits expected to accrue to German
shipping engaged in trade on the Pacific
and on the west coast of South America.
1t is said at the State Department that
there is no change in the status Of the
negotiations with Colombia respecting
the canal. Greatimpatience is exhibited
at the delays and the failure of Colombia
to accept the terms held oht, and pres
sure is being brought to bear to hasten
a conclusion, 50 that the President may,
before the adjournment of the present
Congress, have acquired control of either
the Panama or the Nicaragua route and
be in a position TO begin the work Of
construction.
1t is regarded as desirable TO avoid
test of the legal status of the appropria-
tions for canal purposes made in the
Spooner act, and such test might be
necessary if the actual control OF the
property is not had before March 4.
For this reason the Impressions allowed
to grow that Colombia will not be given
much time in addition to what she has
had in which to finally accept or refuse
our terms. And as soon as he concludes
that such a refusal is final, the Presi
dent is prepared to send to the Senate
treaties with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
conveying the necessary authority for
the construction of the Nicaragua canal.

MILES OF COAL CARS.

The coal operators, combined and in
dependent, are storing miles upon miles
of fully loaded coal trains in the enor-
nous New Jersey tidewater terminals,
while in New York, separated only by
narrow strip of water, hundreds of
thousands of persons are actually suf-
fering for want of coal. The ther-
mometer is recording lower tempera-
ture, with the indication that the in
creased demand for coal will increase
the price of coal. The operators do not
believe that so and Sl2 is the topnotch
price the coal will bring, and they are
holding it until the public can be
squeezed of the last cent In the Perth
Amboy terminal yards it is estimated
that there are sufficient loaded coal cars
to extend, if placed in one train, fully
six miles. In the Elizabethport yards
the railroads are accumulating thousands
upon thousands ftOns, all in cars, ready
to be released the moment the operators
believe that the last price has been
reached. The Long Island Railroad,
controlled by the Pennsylvania, has
the two North Shore tracks, extending
from the East River to Woodside, two
and a half miles, blocked with loaded
coal cars, making one straight train of
five miles in length. Fearing an attack,
the company has stationed guards, armed
with clubs and guns, all along the tracks,
with orders to prevent persons from TAX
ing the coal. Various persons have APP
pealed to the company to sell this coal,
but all have been refused, with the ex-
ception of the employees of the company.
Why they are holding it President Bald
win will not say. The whole length Of
the tracks is inclosed in fences, with oc-
casional bridges over the tops Of fences,
under which the trains must pass The
guards nave been stationed on these
bridges and they threaten to shoot any
person who attempts to take coal from
the cars.

A VICTIM OF MAFIA.-On the blood
stained snow in Jackson Park, Chicago,
where Tuesday night was found the body
of an Italian disfgured by SO dagger
cuts, the police found yesterday sign
that may lead them to Malta tragedy.
The men who did their prey to death
Tuesday night knelt down besides his
mutilated corpse, and with their stilettos,
from which his blood still dripped, they
cut in the snow a mystic sign. 1t was
like two capital A's laid crosswise. As
their victim lay there dead this device
was partially rubbed out by white
ribbon three feet long and two inches
wide, which hung from his pocket.
What meaning the two triangles have
no one knows positively except the muir
derers. What the white ribbon means
no one knows. 1t was jammed through
into the mans pocket, it is certain, for
there are the marks upon one end Of
bloody fingers. The mans money was
not touched and his revolver was still in
his possession. The body bas not been
identified.

Reading aloud well is an accom-
plishment ranking next to music as a
means Of entertainment at home and
in the family circle. In a past gem
GRAFTON, says the Milwaukee Journal,
the long winter evenings we're looked
forward to with pleasing anticipa-
lions which we're realized when they
were chiefly spent at home, and going
to parties was the exception. The
father, mother and children all gath
cred in the common living room, and
one read aloud while others busted
themselves with some hand-work,
and all, save very small ones, who had
an early bedtime, listened with at
tention and interest. There is much
talk just now about the study of child
nature. 1t would astonish some of
these students could they know how
much of good literature intended for
mature minds was comprehended and
appreciated by children when they
were given a chance to become ac-
quainted with it. Paradise Lost"
Scots poems, and other similar read
ing, have been strong factor in form
ing a good taste for literature, when
heard by children from seven to ten
years of age Such children have of
their own vOlition learned large parts
of "The Lady Of the Lake, ""The Lay
of the Last Minstrel" and many
many small poems of great merit.
One lady, recently dead, took pleas
ure, when long past her eightieth
year, in repeating gems of poetry
learned in her early girlhood.
There is too much light and trashy
reading for children. They are left
to much to themselves in choice of
books. Parents are too apt to be en-
crossed in their own pursuits to give
their children the proper training in
reading aloud at home. Too much de-
pendence is placed on their being
taught at school At school there is
not sufficient time to give each child
all the exercise in this that is needed.
Reading aloud should be home hab-
it. One principal of a school has rec
ognized this, and is making an effort
to encourage children in the habit.
He gives a credit to the children for
home reading aloud, and asks report
from the parents, and also gives the
pupil an opportunity to tell to his
class the things he has read. The re-

STEEL ENGRAVINGS.
An Early One Would Be Worth 4
Fortune to It's Finder.


Here is a prize forlibrary-hunting,
When and where did the art of steel
engraving originate? Obviously it is
an important art, without which it
would be impossible to produce TO-
600 wholly uniform engrayings. Of
paper money it is necessary to print
millions of pieces, each kind to be abb
soluteIy uniform, and of postage
stamps, those art works in miniature,
the call is for many thousands ofmiI-
lions Most of the postage stamps
bearing the portrait Of Queen VictO-
ria were derived from one plate made
in 1910, says a Boston publication.
All the world knows that Jacob Per-
kins, he of Newburport, Boston, Phil
adelphia, and England, invented this
particular process, and official rec
ords show that his invention was sub
5tantially complete in 1909. 1t is
known also that in 1909 he had been
at work upon his process for many
years. He appears to have taken out
! patent bearing upon this invention
before 1900. His object was to print
bank notes not easily forged, and in
he seems to have become
The father of steel engraving, not the
least of nineteenth century achieve
mentS. As early as 1909 he under
took to introduce his art in England,
whence it spread all over the conti-
lent. But most of the records bear
ing upon the origin of steel engraving
have disappeared, and an example of
the art produced before 1880 might
be worth its weight in diamonds.
