WILL MAKE COAL
DEALERS UNHAPPY

1t is predicted that before many
months have passed oil burners will
be installed in every tug and freight
boat operating on Puget Sound. The
initial step toward this end was taken
yesterday, when a representative of
the Standard Oil company, operating
as the Pacific Coast Oil company,
came to Tacoma and spent the day
with the local steamboat men.
Captain Sid Burley, of the Tacoma
Tug & Barge company, and Captain
Olson, of the Tacoma Tug company,
were interviewed by the Standard
representative, and are said to have
expressed themselves as being favor
able to the use of oil. An effort is
now being made to get the owners
of other boats to agree to install oil
burners, if a guarantee of a sufficient
supply of oil is made by the Stan
dard.
AT present the price of oil in this
city is said to be something over 16
cents a barrel more than it is in Seat
tie The Standard Oil company pro-
poses to overcome this extra cost by
building a 50,000-barrel tank here,
provided the required amount is con-
tracted for The oil would then be
delivered here direct from the re-
tineries at Port Richmond, Cal
Besides the boats, the Sperry -four
mill, the Pacific Cold Storage COM
pany and other similar concerns are
said to be contemplating the use of
oil as fuel.

fore Secretary Moody of the navy de-
partment, and he ruled that Miss
Hull should pull the strings that sent
the gunboat down the ways, while
Miss Treadwell should break the bot
tie of champagne and pronounce the
ships name. Miss Hull refused to
divide honors and Miss Treadwell
had the honor alone.
Miss Treadwell, who is but Is
years of age, was on hand bright and
early on launching day. The word
was given and she cut the string
that started the big ship moving
down the ways. Then she threw the
bottle against the steel side but it
did not break. The girl was so fus-
tered over the failure that she forgot
to pronounce the ships name. and
in few seconds the new gunboat
was in the water without champagne
or name.
The gunboat was towed around to
dock where the girl climbed to her
bow and this time broke the bottle
and said 81 christen thee Du-
buque."
About 200 people witnessed the
launching. After the ceremony Miss
Treadwell wept softly, despite the
assurances of the naval officers pres
ent that the ceremony was Just as
good as if it had occurred on the
schedule time.
But the old salts have their doubts
still.

COUNTY HOME CHILDREN.
Charity Board Wants Greater Care
 fulness in Commitments.

The November meeting of the state board of charities was held yesterday afternoon at the capitol. All of the members were present and made re- ports of visits to institutions and work done during the preceding month. H. H. Bridgman of Norfolk, the president, presided
 The annual meetings of four of the county temporary homes for children were held during the month-in Hart. ford, New London, Fairfield and Wind ham counties, and were attended by representatives from the state board. It is the belief of the board that some action must be taken in the coming leg islature to provide for investigation before children are committed to the county homes, in order to prevent hasty and unnecessary commitments, which now frequently take place. The board would also urge some measure to compel parents, who are able, to provide for the support of their chill dren or else suffer severe penalty.
 The new hospital for the insane aI Norwich was visited by Miss Bacon, Dr Down and Secretary Kellogg and it is hoped that the institution will relieve somewhat the pressure upon the hospital at MiddIetown and will provide for number of patients now in almshouses. The same visitors in spected the Norwich jail and madesre- commendation that 1t be kept in a cleaner condition.
 Miss Bacon reported visits to aims houses in Hamden, Fairfield, New Ha- ven, Bridgeport, Waterbury and Wood bury, and upon her suggestion it was voted to send recommendations for certain improvements to the proper officials.
 Miss Mary Hall reported visits to the following towns to inspect the aims Granby. East Granby, Marlborough, Mansfield East Hartford, Hart1and, SVillimantic and Ashford. Most of the places were found to be in good condi- ton.
 Dr Edwin A. Down of Hartford spoke further of the visits to the Nor wicl, hospital for the insane. the Nor wich jail and the New London County home; and Dr Thomas F. Kane men toned number of individual cases that have come under his considera- tion during the month.
 Secretary Kellogg reported visits to the hospitals in New Britain, New London and Norwich, and to sanitaria in Cromwell.

 -John Szwedas of 32 North Leonard street broke his arm last evening while returning from his work. He was passing through a dark alley leading to his home when he fell over an ex. press wagon. The bone was set by Dr Russell.
 Philip Ryan of North Leonard street met with a serious accident while at his work in the Scovill Manu- facturing Co.'S yesterday afternoon. He was working near pile of metai when one of the bars fell off and struck him on the foot, crushing ono of his toes. 1t will be some time be- fore he will be able to get around.
 -The electric lights on Green street failed to work fast night and the street was i'll darkness till after 10 o'clock. This is very lonely place and when anything like what happened last night occurs it makes it very disagreeable for the residents of the street who are out after dark. Some time ago pc tition was gotten up to have light erected at the corner of Green and Riverside street, but no more was heard about it. This section is cer- tainly no white light district and few more lights would be greatly ap preciated.
 Boys are destroying property at 589 and 591 North Riverside street and some of the neighbors are complaining of it. 4 family moved out about two weeks ago and the place has been un- occupied ever since. From that time the boys have been cutting up their capers in and around the house and ie will be necessary before it is again occupied to have the owner lay out quite a few dollars to repair the dam age the boys have done.

the eye the exposition lacks a. month
of being I'll readiness to welcome Vs-
itors. Nothing but miracle can put
it. even into. passable shape by the
opening morning.
Yet there are those In st. Louis
who claim that the miracle will be
wrought. So greatann oreover is their
enthusiasm that it is contagious.
They do not assert that all build
ings will be Finished or all exhibits
Installed, but they stubbornly declare
that to-day's unsightly heaps Of dirt
will be gone from the roadways, that
the mud Of the thorofares themselves
will be yelled with white 1nacadam,
that water. will flow thru what to-
day were dry, uncouth channels, and
that the great architectural scheme
of the actual exposition buildings
will stand perfectly forth.
These latter giant structures are,
in fact, externally complete. Scat
folds still deface some of the en-
frances, and ladders find foothold at
the pedestals of lofty statues, but
they can come down in a night.
