New Coal Companies at work.

Two coal cOmpanfes Incorporated during the summer began develop ing this week, mining coal for the open market.

~New York Harry" Located.

# statement Is made here that New York Harry" whose real name is O'Dowd. a noted safe blower who, it is claimed was with Frank Miller in the place of Frank Duncan, the night of the shooting of Police Officers Adams and Kirkiey in this city. has been located in an eastern penitentiary. Dun can, who is under sentence of death in this city, claimed at his trial that he was not present when the two officers were shot. The statement was made that Milier's companion at the time was New York Harry" A great many people express the belief that such a person is a myth. while others, includ- ing some officers. are equally positive that he is flesh and blood and was a member of the Miller-Duncan gang dur ing its operations around Birmingham. The attorney for Duncan Is working hard to save his clients neck. Dun cans conduct in the jail here is ex- emplary. A guard is constantly in front of his cell, day and night.

Tomorrow will be a day of looking to the actual organi- zation of the league. Rev. E. E. Folk, of Nashville, editor of The Baptist and Reflector, will deliver an address before the gathering tomorrow night. Rev. pr. Folk Is a brother of the Demo- cratic nominee for Governor of Mis- souri. The men now here are confident that their organization will take up strength right from the start and be- fore long will be in the battle looking to the suppression of the saloon evil.

DOING HIS BEST.

1t somehow seems little enough when
you say
That a fellow lis doing his best"
1t means that he tolls and he hopes
day by day
That Heaven will attend to the rest.
He is jostled aside by the hurrying
crowd,
Unsought by the lonely; forgot by the
proud
He earns what he gets, and no more is
allowed
To the man who is doing his best
The prince with his splendor, the sage
with his book,
Full OFT fail to answer the test
And when there's home or country
to serve
We turn to the man with the heart
and the nerve;
The man whom adversity's touch could
not swerve,
The man who kept doing his best.

A Chance for Publicity.

Philadelphia Ledger--If it were
possible to compel the national com
mites to keep an accurate record of
and publish true account of their ex-
penditures for campaign purposes a
work of the utmost importance would
be accomplished. England has virtu.
ally eliminated the bribery Of voters
in her parliamentary elections by
requiring that each candidates cam.
paign expenses shall be recorded and
made public.
If the campaign fund accounts
were made public, instead of beinq
kept secret, there would be no need
to "fry the fat" from corporations OF
men. All the money actually neces
sary for an honestly conducted cam
paign would be willingly contributed
by public-spirited citizens Of either
party. Only through publicity, full
and complete, will campaign funds
cease to be corruption funds.

Care of CauIifowers.

W. H. Teele says in the 18th an.
nual report of the Rhode Island board
of agriculture, that in caring for cauli-
flowers it is important the land be
kept clean from weeds or grass. This
is especially true when the plants are
young. If they are shaded by weeds
or grass they become stunted and no
subsequent care will make full crop.
| use the spiked-tooth cultivator at
first, so as not to disturb the plants,
cultivating several times to keep the
ground loose. After the plants get
large, cultivator with wings to hill

plants by pulling out the weeds, es.

THE GYPSiES.

The word gypsy, of curious and in
teresting origin, is at once illustra-
tive of the tenacity of corruption
and suggestive that the propensity
of children for acquiring bad Ian
guage is a racial trait. The gypsies
on their first appearance in England
about the beginning of the sixteenth
century were mistaken for Egyptians
and so called by men of education,
but the common people. finding some
difficulty in mastering the name.
rendered it "gypsies," and so the
wandering people have ever since
been called.
During the reign Of Henry VIII, in
1881 a statute was enacted expelling
the gypsies from that country under
penalty of Imprisonment and forfeit
ure Of property. According to the
Grey Friars' Chronicle the statute
recited that many oUtlandish people
calling themselves Egy ptians, using
no craft nor faict (practice) of mer-
chandise have come into this realm
and gone from shire to shire and
place to place in great company and
used great subtle and crafty means
to deceive the people; bearing them
in hand that they by palmistry could
tell mems and women's fortunes,
and so many times by craft and sub
tlety have deceived the people Of
their money, and also have commit
ted many and heinous felonies and
robberies. Six years later Crom-
well. in a letter to the President OF
the Marches of Wales. accuses "the
gipcians," as he calls them of false
hoods, felones and treasons" and
orders the execution of such as fail
to leave at command.
The gypsies had spread over the
continent Of Europe several centuries
before their appearance in England
and an Austrian monk writing of
them in the twelfth century, calls
them the progency of the son of Ha-
gar, or Ishmaelites. Modern histor-
ians, however have, by the peculiari-
ties of their language traced their
origin to India. Throughout the ORR
ent and continental Europe they
were known as metal workers, and
Sir John Lubbock attributes to them
the introduction OF metalurgy, espe-
cially OF bronze, into Europe.

REDUCING THE WORLDS SUM
OF GAYETY.

Chicago Record-Herald.-It has
been decreed by the Ancient Order of
Hibernians in convention assembled
that the stage Irishman must 60
Also the organization has adopted a
resolution calling upon people who
write jokes for newspapers and other
| publications to "cut the Irishman out. ="
Hibernians can prevent it, will the
Irishman with green galways be per-

appointed to break the sad news TO

In issuing it's fat against the stage
1rishman and the Milesian of the
joke column the Ancient Order of
Hibernians has dealt sad blow to
art and given literature a setback
from which it will be slow to recover
The pity of it is that the proceedings
seems to have been unnecessary.
Most Irishmen enjoy a joke well
enough to laugh even though it hap
pens to be on them, and it is not
likely that many people are so dull
witted as to imagine that the Irish
arein reality either as foolish as they
are made to appear in the joker's
paragraphs or as devoid of dignity as
they are represented to be by the con-
tinous performer. As a matter OF
fact, 1rishmen are generally bright
and handsome, and when the shafts
of ridicule strike them the only things
that suffer damage are the shafts.
But let those people who believe
that the world needs all the fun it
can have hope on. The stage Dutch
man remains, and there is no DISPOSE.

and Sickness.

Bananas" said a physician, and
lemonade are two of the worst things
that can be given 20 babies and small
children. At picnics these things are
ever much in evidence. No one should
feed bananas to children unless the ba-
ncnas are cut up fine. 1t is not the
banana itself that is so bad. 1t is not
so very hard to digest bananas if they
are sliced up thin; but it is in the man.
ner in which children eat them that
causes the trouble. They don't chew
them up well, but swallow them in
chunks. A child should never be given
anything to eat until it has teeth TO
eat it with but some mothers feed
their children most anything from the
time they are six months old. They
even feed them corn. bananas, etc.
But if you really want to save the
lives of the babies, keep them out OF
the draughts. Don't let them sleep
near an open window unless there is
some kind of screen up to keep the
air from striking them. Portions OF
their body get chilled and their organs
are not able to perform their functions
properly. The result is that they have
trouble with their stomachs.
1T would be a good deal better to
sleep out on the porch in the open air
One could do that without half the
danger of taking cold as sleeping in a
room with the wind blowing on them
from an open window"
