the demand for it that their production and sale must be limited. The asbes- tos produced in the United States dur ing 1903 came principally from depos- its at Sall Mountain, White county, Georgia but small quantities were mined near Dalton, Berkshire county, Massachusetts, and near New Hartford Connecticut. With the exception of the small amount of asbestos produced in Massachusetts, the entire production was of the amphibole variety. In view of the manifold uses of chrysotile as
 bestos, which would surely multiply with any reduction in price, it is unfortunate that our country contains so little of this valuable mineral. The most promising deposits of chrysotle asbestos in the United States are prop critics of the Vermont Asbestos Com pany and the Tucker Asbestos Com pany near the village of Lowell, Yer mont.
 pr. Pratt devotes the major portion of his report to a discussion of the uses of asbestos and the origin of the chrySotile variety. In practically all cases where asbestos is used, it's power to resist heat or it's unconduc- tivity of heat is the important quality desired. A few years ago only a few articles were made of this mineral, but it is now made in hundreds of forms as asbestos products can be manufactured in almost any size and shape and to meet all kinds of demands for fire proofng material. Those in- terested in the subject may obtain copy of Dr. Pratt's report, free of chare, by applying to the Director of the United States Geological Survey. Washington, D. C. Mining Record.

If President Donnelly of the butchers believes that he can enlist the sym pathy of the American people by the process of starvation he is mistaken. So long as he was engaged in quarrel with the beef trust over issues which had presented themselves, the public was inclined to divide its sympathy with the contestants. But when he creates new issues for the purpose of depriving the public of meat the sym pathy is likely to be solidly arrayed against him. Public sympathy was largely with the anthracite coal strik- CTS because the public blamed the mine owners for having engineered the ccal shortage.

RABIES AT ITHACA.
Many Dogs Affected-State Health
Board Called On for Help.

Ithaca, N. ". Sept. 19.-The mad
dog scare which has been developing
for the last two weeks came to a head,
Tuesday when it became known that
the disease with which many dogs
have been affected was rabies Of the
worst form. Prof James Law of the
State Veterinary College has been con-
Quoting the investigation. Upon his
report, Health Officer Crum telegraph
ed to the state Department Of Health
asking for aid to prevent the spread
of the disease.
The local officials regard the situa-
ton as critical and special officers
have been sworn in to enforce the
ordinance passed at special meet
ing of the Common Council providing
for the killing of all unmuzzled dogs.
Guinea pigs which We're inoculated
with the saliva from the mouth Of the
dogs that ran mad have now devel-
oped rabies of the worst form. Many
dogs that must have been bitten have
also gone mad and been killed. There
are many dog fanciers in Ithaca and
among the faculty of Cornell Universe
~ who have been compelled by the
authorities to kill valuable pets.

MASS OF RUINS
Continued from page ~

The buildings in immediate danger
at the height of the fire We're: Tho
wooden building adjoining the ellison
shop and occupied as a store by w -
Brann & Son, which was only slightly
, damaged by fire: Il storehouse situated
next to the Coliseum on the north side
belonging to the Decker & Day Hard
ware and Coal Co, and unoccunied
Which was totally destroyed with a loss
of about $500: the Baker blacksmith
shop next beyond Brann's store. tho
wooden building occupied as a black
smith shop by w. z. Leonard and r
d. Tasker's big livery and sale stables
In connection with other features
that add to the incendiary suspicion
was the smoulderins fire discovered in
TaSker stables. This vas located in
the center of a big pile of hay and was
in a barn through the window Of which
no sparks could have been blown. but
which could be reached from the ont
side through a door which was closed
but not locked. This fire was dis
covered by the Waterman and extin-
guishnd before any damage resulted
Such is the situation in regard to thu
facts of the case.
If the fire is the result of the mali
ciouS Intentions of some person or per
sons-and such is the general feeling
and if some fire-bug is at work bent
upon the destruction of property in the
section which seems to have been
chosen twice and the last time to good
advantage from their standpoint the
situation is not relieved any nor would
an investigation of the fire probahI re-
suit in the apprehension of the parties
connected with it.
II is the purpose Of the munisipal Of
ficers to hold an investigation and
"Wednesday evening was the time set
for it. but the meeting was postponed
on account of an official visit that day
of DEPUTY Insurance Commissioner
Fletcher and some little time will be
given that gentleman to carry on a
personal investigation previous to that
of the mayor and board of aldermen.
Tho less of the Coliseum is one that
will be keenly felt i'm the city as it re-
moves the only large hall particularly
adapted to the holding Of society fairs
and also the only available place for
holding the athletic games that for two
winters have been conducted success
fully. The old Coliseum has been the
scene of me- ny big Succe ssas in the line
Of public eEtertainments-the latest be-
ing the big Board Of Trade fair held,
last May, 1T which the Indoor Circus
and the splendid production of the local
opera King Pepper" were the big at
fractions.
The hall would have been the scene, !
next month. of Harry Cochrane's pro-
duction of 1.-THE First Crusade" by local
talent. In the destruction of the hall |
Mr.. Cochrane has sustained the loss !
of scenery and costumes used in the
production, to the amount of about |
$500. This property was stored in the !
Coliseum to be in readiness for the !,
piece in October. |
1t is doubtful if a building to replace !
the Coliseum will be built and the spot |
on which the building set will probably !
be cleared of the debris and remain I'M
occupied by any building for some time. |

RUN SUBWAY NEXT MONTH.
Early in October. Says Belmont to Orr
at New York.

New York. Sept. 19.-AleXander f.
Orr, president of the Rapid Transit
Commission. said that August Bel
mont had told him that the Inter-
borough officials would be ready to
open the tunnel for regular traffic
the first or second week in October.
Il have had the pleasure of riding
through the tunnel several times of
late" said Mr.. Orr. Il was greatly
impressed with the thoroughness and
completeness of the work of the con-
tractor. Experimental trains are run
ming every day between the City Hall
and Ninetieth St, and they run with
smoOthnesS and swiftness that is
eXhiarating. l took a friend of mine
through the tunnel on his first ride
the other day. He was so pleased
that as soon as he got out he told me
that he was going to buy several thou
sand shares of the tunnel stock. The
work on the great power plant at
Fifty-eight St, and Eleventh Ave, Is
well advanced. There will be ca
pacity of more than 5000 horse
power there when all the generators
are in position. Everything has been
built in the most substantial manner.
l was struck with this when l exam
ined the new steel cars. They cost
81 900 each. Eight of them represent
an investment of about 100000. There
is nothing inflammable about them
but the car seats.
"As soon as the road is in operate
the security of about S7,00O,00o will be
released to the contractor. but the
contract gives the city lien for Sc
curity on the equipment of the sys-
TEN, which is paid for by the tenant.
When the contract was drawn 1t was
assumed that the equipment would
cost about 1000. 900, and that it would
furnish ample security for fulfilment
of the contract. Now that the COM
pany has spent about $4,000 600 for
equipment, the city has about $S,O00,-
600 additional security l hope that
the gentlemen who assumed the risk
of building and euuipping the tunnel
will secure a fair return on their in
vestment. They deserve it. The COM
mission has had no trouble of any
consequence in having things done as
it desired. The contractor has shown
willingness to carry out the commits
sions suggestions.
"Does the fact that the Belmont in
terests are in possession OF the first
tunnel give them an advantage in bid
ding for a second?" Mr. Orr was ask
ed.
perhaps Mr.. Belmont and his
friends would have an advantage in
bidding for an actual extension of the
present line in either direction. But
in laying out future subways it is
the intention of the commission SO to
plan them that they can be built as
an independent system, and this would
prevent the present tenant from hav-
ing an undue advantage"
How long will it be before more
subways are under way?" Mr.. Orr
| was asked.
Just as soon as the present sub
way IS put into operation We shall
take up the matter of providing more"
said Mr.. Orr.

$4,000 OF STRUGGLED GOWNS.
Labelled as FURNITURE" in La Tou-
raire's Hold.

New York, Sept. 19.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived last week aboard
the French liner La Touraine We're a
dozen or more dressmakers and an
unusual number of buyers Of French
dress goods. This circumstance in
spired the Customs officials to keep a
sharp lookout for struggled stuff.
A "tip" that a syndicate Of dress
makers had brought over two boxes
labelled furniture" which really con-
tanned Paris gowns caused the inspect
ors, under direction of Deputy Sur
veyor Bishop, to examine carefully
all stuff shipped as cargo. The result
was that two suspected boxes were
opened.
Gowns valued at more than $4,000
We're revealed. There was no claim
ant for the boxes and they were
sent to the Public Stores.
The law department Of the Custom
House believes that the syndicate Of
dressmakers, after finding that it
could not get the goods in surrepti-
tiously, will come forward, through
an agent, and pay the duty. If the
goods had been brought in, in the or
binary way in the baggage of a pas
senger they would have been liable to
confiScation.
The customs officials were not sat-
isfied that the two boxes contained
the only goods that had been snug
gled in aboard La Touraine. and Spec
ial Inspectors Holley and O'Neil were
detailed, yesterday to make thorough
search of the ship.
They found twenty bolts Of silk
slowed away in her and a large guam
tity Of cigars. The search will be con-
tinued.
