The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1903-08-27

The late Lord Salisbury, whose full
name was Robert Arthur Talbot Gas
eoyne Cecil, was a second son, and APP
parently not one Of his fathers favor
ties, as he was kept on 50 meager an
allowance that he bad to write fer the
newspapers and reviews to maintain
himself.
He was successful at this, for he was
not only well educated and rather deft
with his pen, but his position as the
son Of the lord priyy seal and president
Of the council gave him unusual oppor-
tunities for getting inside information
At this time in his life Lord Robert
and AIillais, the painter, then also a
young man, were chums, and they
went TO Australia together They lived
in shanty and roughed it at the gold
fields for awhile without getting much
richer,
Returning to England, the young Ce-
ell promptly married against his ia
theirs wishes and went to parliament
for the Stamford division, which he
represented until the death Of his elder
brother gave him the marquisate and a
seat in the house of lords.

Lord Salisbury never recovered from
the loss he suffered in 1899 by the

THE legend descriptive OF the first
meeting Of Lord Salisbury, then Lord
Robert Cecil, and his future wife has
the merit at least of being interesting
even If its claim to the higher merit Of
accuracy is doubtful Miss Anderson" y

entered to sketch. Night was stealing
on before the young lady discovered
this, and she began to get alarmed
She tried in vain to force the door,

in the village a Young gentleman who

TO ANALYZE GOLD.
Scientists Hope by Use of Radium to
Solve the AIchemists' Puzzle.

London, July 27.-Every week adds
something to the sum of knowledge
steadily being accumulated by the investi.
gators into the properties Of adium and
helium. Sir William and Lady Higgins
prompted by theoretical ideas, have at,
tackled the problem Of the spectroscopic
analysis Of light emitted directly by a
radium salt at ordinary temperature, and
the results Of their work have been re-
ceived by the Royal society.
From a preliminary visual observation
1t seemed that there were traces OF bright
lines in a continuous spectrum. Prepara-
tons, therefore,, were made for a photo
graphic record by means of a quartz
picturesque. Finally a spectrum consist
Of eight definite bright lines in the
ultraviolet, entirely different from the
spark spectrum Of radium, and some faint
lines, together with a faint and continu-
Gus spectrum, were obtained by seventy
two hours exposure. On comparison this
spectrum is SO different from the ord nary
phosphoreScent spectrum with recorded
measurements for helium that it appeared
at once that four and perhaps five OF the
sight lines agreed with the lines Of
he.ium.
Sir w. Ramsay end Professor Spddy
also found distinct evidence Of the pres
ence of helium in the spectra Of gases
emanating from radium bromide. Present
observations, therefore,, indicate that RAJ

New York. July 2s.-The failure OF
e. s. Hooley & Co. is announced on the
stock exchange today. The firm was
heavily interested in Evansville and
Terre Haute. The stock market opened
nervous and unsettled. Some Of last
weeks stocks showed small gains.
Hooley & Co. were especially prom
inent brokers in the days of the Ros-
well P. Flower bull campaign. They
were specialists in Evansville and Terre
Haute, and Des Moines n Fort Dodge
securities. In exchange circles the
suspension caused little surprise, in
fact the announcement had been dis
counted.
About noon the announcement was
made of the failure of William N. Bas-
sett & Co., members of the Boston and
New York stock exchange. The fail
ure is regarded as comparatively un-
important.

New York, July z9.-Judging from

against the Hartman interests in the

here that the failure or the Taylor firm

A brief was filed here last Monday in
the United States Circuit Court OF APP

Edward L~auterbach of New York, and

attorneys for Talbot J. Taylor, which Is
taken as a declaration of war on the
Hartman interests.
It not only asked for a reversal OF
the recent decision of Judge Lurton in
refusing to restrain the voting of stock
held by the Union Pacific company at
the next election of the Southern Paci-
hc company, but also charged such di-
verting funds from the Southern Paci-
hc to the Central and Union Pacific as
to justify judicial action. Many au-
thorities were cited to show that where
a majority OF the stock is used for the
benefit of individuals rather than of the,

fed.

COAL N IS
SERIOUSLY FEARED
Scarcity of Anthracite Reported
From.the Upper Lake
Region.
THE PRICE is ADVANCING
East IS Absorbing Most Of tho Output
Of tho Mines and the West Gets a
Poor Chance at Laying In n
Winter Supply.

Minneapolis, MIMI, July 28.-A Sc
we're coal famine which threatens ia
equal that of last fall and winter is now
beginning to be felt in Minneapolis and
throughout the entire west.
The local demand for hard coal to-
day was fully four times as great as
the supply, n unless a big shipment
can be secured within the next few
days there will be nothing whatever in
stock.
There Is practically no coal in Duluth
and also none in Chicago, and the west
is crying for fuel.
Corresponding with the scarcity the
price is springing up 10 cents on the
ton each month.
Three reasons are given. People,
having learned a lesson last winter by
not ordering their supply last summer,
are now placing orders for the winter.
Big eastern concerns, being nearer
the coal fields n having many advan-
tages over h west, as to shipments
and less cost in a general way, do not
wish to suffer through the big demands
That are sure to be made from the west
and are stocking up heavily and COB
bl1ng up practically every lump of the
hard fuel as it ONE from the mines.
Although there is no general strike
on, there is much dissatisfaction among
the miners, and large numbers are not
working. For instance, there have been
liiole lila a score OF strikes n Shut
downs in the mines of one of the big
gest operating companies since the
general strike of last year, which
such disaster everywhere, was
settled. This accounts for the actual
output being a large per cent. less than
normal.
None of the shipping companies has any
stock of coal at the docks at Duluth, al
though one or two of the larger compa-
MES have a limited amount Of coal in
their yards in Minneapolis.
The big lake vessels, which go down
east laden with ore, return with no coal
cargoes. There Is no lake strike to affect
the situation. as is frequently the case.
During the month of June only 65, 1000
tonn of hard coal passed through the 500,
as against a normal June passage of about
100000. July passages, it Is anticipated,
may not reach $4,000 tons.
HI price has steadily advanced from
$500 a ton in April to $3.50 at present. 1t
will continue to advance 10 cents each
month till fall. Even at these figures lib
eral premiums are being laid on large
lots in Chicago.
1t Is stated on the authority of a lead
Ing coal magnate in the east that even if
there is no further hindrance to the output
1T Will require four years for the country
to recover from the effects of last years
strike. Dealers everywhere, particularly
the big shippers, make 1t a point to al
ways have big stocks, and as these are
totally exhausted during the famine re-
sultant from total cessation Of mining
operations it will require some time to re-
stock .e tFs I
