Want to Return Library.

"Please, Andy, take back your library
and the town lot with it. This is the
gist of letter written by the city clerk
of Richmond, Ind, to Andrew Carnegie
following the closing of the handsome
library recently erected at Richmond
with Mr.. Carnegie's gift OF Sl5.oO0
lack of finds is said to be the reason
for it's closing. The public paid for the
real estate on which it Is built. and if
the library is taken back by Mr.. Carn-
eele the real estate will go with it, and
the wealthy ironmaster is in the posi-
ton of being offered a town lot as
gift instead of being a honor, as he eX'
nected 20 be when he furnished the
finds with which to erect the library
What to do with the library has been
worrying the town officials more than
the lack of literature before the gift
was made, but the happy idea OF the
citv clerk to ask Mr.. Carnegie to take
| hack his library has solved the problem
t. is believed Mr.. Carnegie will refuse
and possibly may advance small sum
TO keep the library open for time.

DEVELOPING COAL PROPERTIES.

DEVELOPING COAL PROPERTIES
The reopening of the mines OF the
Philippi Company at Meriden, on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, near PM
ippi, w. Va, and the commencement
of shipments mark the elimination OF
negotiations that have been under way
for the past three months,b which the
properties of the Pnilippi Coal Mining
Co. and others, comprising some 64OO
acres of the upper and lower Freeport
seems and some 800 acres of surface,
passed into the hands of the Phllippl
Collieries Co., new organization with
a capital of $500, 900. whose charter was
recently issued. Mr.. J. 2. Bremen,
who reported upon the property, states
that it is one of the best-developed op-
erations in West Virginia, having a
complete modern equipment, including
electric haulage, etc, sufficient TO
handle an output of 1000 tons daily.
The internal capacity of the mines is
1000 tons, but the tipple capacity at
present is not more than $500 tons. An
additional tipple will be erected at
once. Negotiations were conducted
by w. P. Hurst of Scottdale, Pa, and
John A. Barnes of New Y York city, who
are also interested in the development
of 5000 acres adjoining the Phlllpp
property belonging to the Midland
Coal Il Coke Co., on which $25O, ,OOt
equipment'is being installed.

LIGHT FASTER THAN SOUND.
Some Everyday Incidents That GO TO
Prove This Fact.

About thousand yards from the
window where | sit is a factory which
b ows it's whistle every noon. The steam
.lways comes from the whistle some
little time before the sound is heard.
Yesterday | counted three seconds be-
tween the time when the first steam
was seen and when the sound of the
whistle was heard. The whsle is heard
when the weather Is fOggy or clear, hot
or cold, windy or calm. 1t is sometimes
louder than at other times. but it al
ways takes three seconds to travel the
8 900 feet from the factory to my house
We often hear also an echo OF the
whistle which comes two seconds later
than the first sound. This is the same
sound coming by a roundabout jour-
ney 5000 feet away. 1t travels first
1 900 feet to hill beyond and then is
sent back 900 feet to our house.
A few days ago l heard band of
musicians playing upon the street, and,
alb0OuSu Jncy W0Io ldI ulopoho AiOhi
me, the high tones of the plccolo and
the low tones of the bass born reached
me exactly together, showing that
high and low tones travel at the same
speed.
During a thunderstorm | noticed a
flash of lightning and counted ten sec
onds before the sound of the thunder
was heard. This showed me that the
storm was about 10, 900 feet (or about
two miles) away. A little later, how
ever, the time between the lightning
and the thunder began to grow less,
and the noise of the thunder became
louder, which showed that the storm
was getting nearer. Finally dazzling
flash of lightning was followed imme-
diately by a deafening crash of thun-
der. and at the same time the shingles
flew from patch of roof on barn
near by. 1t had been struck by light
ming and was soon in flames. st.

LEETI0UETTE BY BILL NYE
Useful Hints for Those Three Hundren
Select at the Roosevelt Banquet.

If YOU cannot accept an inVltatlon
to dinner do not write your regrets on
the back of a pool check with oloe
pencil. This is now regarded as
ricochet.
A simple note to your host inform
ing him that your washerwoman re-
fuses to relent is sufficient.
If you happen to drop gravy on your
knife blade, back near the handle, 40
not run the blade down your throat
to remove the gravy, as 1t mlght Ill
jure your epiglettis. and it is not con-
sidered embonpoint, anyway.
Pears should be held by the stems
and peeled gently, but firmly, not as
though you were skinnipg dead horse.
1t Is not bon ton.
Oranges are held on fork while be-
ing peeled, and the facetious style OF
squirting the juice into the eyeof your
hostess is not au rev0lr.
Stones in cherries or other frult
should not be placed upon the table
cloth, but slid quietly and unostentat
iously into the pocket of your nelghoor
or noiselessly tossed under the table.
If YOU strike worm in your fruit 90
not call attention to it by mashlng IL
with a nut cracker. This is not only
uncoutb. but it is regarded in the best
society as blase and exceedingly vice
versa.
In drinking wine when you get to
the bottom of your glass, do not throw
YOUR head back and sdraw .ln your
breath like the exhaust OF a bath IN
order to get the last drop, as it engend-
ers a feeling of the most depressing
melancholy among the guests.
After eating considerable amount,
do not rise and unbuckle your vest
strap in order to get more room, as IL
is exceedingly au fait and dishabile.
If by mistake you drink out OF your
finger bowl, laugh heartily and make
s)me facetious remark which Will
change the conversation and renew the
friendly feeling among the mem oers OF
the party.
