COAL MEN lNAR ROW.
The Trust Gusts Its Secretary to Save
Expenses.

Kansas City, June 14-W c. Perry,
of the Central Coal and Coke company,
this city, was elected president of the
southwestern Interstate Coal Operators
association at its meeting Tuesday in
the Gibraltar building c. J. Devlin Of
topeka was elected vice presidential
large; F. z. "a cir, vice president of dis
trict No. IA; Carl SCholz vice president
of district No. q; Major r. G. Rom
bauer, vice president of district No. %.
The nomination of S. ". Kniffin for
reelection as secretary-tr treasurer, caus-
ed a fight in the meeting. Mr.. Kniffin' s
election, after several years service,
had come to be a fOrmality for coal
men, so that surprise was manifested
when William Busby of the Indian Ter
ritory proposed e. r. WatsOn's name
for secretary. IT nominate Mr. Watson
for secretary said Mr. Busby not for
Darnall Of this city and E. H. Harper
of Chicago to their feet. They wanted
TO know who was to be treasurer. MI
Perry, the president, said the associa-
ton is now, and has for a long time
been paying Mr.. Kniffin S. 800 a year to
do the work of secretary treasurer. It
has been paying a commissioner $500 q.
month"; 2 stenQgrapher $50 a month.
Rent costs $50. He believed the Office
should be run for less money.
I'VE can go to the bank in which We
keep our little accounts said Mr.. Per
.ry, and get a man to act as treasurer
for nothing. We must encOnOmize. This
move has nothing in 1T of feeling
against Mr. Knifin. We merely wish to
cut down oud expenses just as we
would for our own firms"
Mr.. Darnau said Mr.. Knihn's ser
vices had been satisfactory and wanted
to know if he would accept the office
of secretary. Mr.. Knifin said if he
couldn't be secretary-tr treasurer he
wouldn't be anything. He wouldn't take
the secretaryship at a reduced salary
Several delegates were speaking at
the same time; motions to adjourn were
heard on all sides; Judge Tarsney
wanted to say. something, but could not
be heard. In the midst of the wrangle
President Perry declared adjournment
carried and the meeting took a recess
until this afternoon.
This afternoon Mr.. Watson was elect
ed secretary.
Ali effort was made to adopt certain
changes in the constitution and by
laws so that the general scale commit
Tee might be merged with the executive
committee to consider all questions of
wages jointly. The question was laid
over on motion of Judge Tarsney until
the afternoon session.

upnder a similar franchise. The appli-
cation for the charter was referred to
the franchise committee of the council.
While in Kansas City at the Coates
house, Mr.. Mulvane was interviewed
about his political ideas. He said:
You know politics is a luxury, and the
lull Of the present year is a. good thing,
as it enables a fellow to get a little work
done, and save up enough money to en-
joy the luxury next year. Some men
spend their money on a string OF horses
or a yacht. Others go into politics. and,
for my part, I find it more exciting
than the others"

WILL HAVE TO REPORT.
Kansas Corporations BIust Answer
Great Many Questions.

Next week the secretary of state will
send out to each corporation in the
state of Kansas a blank report for
that corporation to fill out and return.
The blanks have been placed in the
envelopes ready to mail, and will be
sent shortly before the time when the
corporations are supposed to make
them out. The report must show the
condition of business I'd to June 80,
and must be filed out and returned
prior to August /.
Corporations chartered in other
states but doing business in Kansas
are not required to make an annual
stateme nt. There are a good many
Kansas corporations, also, which seem
to think they are not required to
make any report, but a good many of
them are getting into trouble because
Of their neglect.

Meanwhile the aeronaut still calling
for help, was losing strength. while the
balloon was gradually losing gas Sol
diersS finally succeeded in hosting a
rope - the top of the chimney, and
the aeronaut was lowered to the ground
in such a feeble condition that he had.

ALL ABOUT WOMEN.
THE AVERAGE WOMAN

"The average woman" does not
sound like a phrase of high compli-
rnent. Yet the average woman is
doubtless the most needed woman in
modern civilization. 1t is interesting
and inspiring to see that she has made
marked progress during the centuries.
She is much more capable and more
loyable than three hundred years ago.
Her advance is somewhat due to the
work of those few leaders who make
new paths and encourage more timid
souls to follow them. But for the
most part itcan be traced to the steady,
slow Improvement traceable directly
to the average woman herself. She
makes better bread and better soup
than she used to make she reads
more books and better ones; she has
"a 6ner hand and more understanding
heart with children she gives more
discriminatingly in charity; her house
hold, small or large, is better ordered.
Perhaps every average woman in the
world longs to do more than the aver
age. Even that longing is her part
in the general store Of aspiration and
works for good. The Persians have
a proverb, "God takes good care the
trees do not grow into the sky"
Wadsworth translates that into Eng
lish poetry and tells US that even a
woman WHO'S "a phantom of delight"
must also be

THE BUSINESS WOMAN.
A creature not.tooibright or good
For human natures daily food.

The business woman is becoming
more and more recognized and impor-
tant, indeed, that pages and pages are
written full of advice as to her be-
havior, her duties, her health and her
diet, all of which are, no doubt, of
great assistance at the start, although
a woman of experience will tell you
that after all there are many things
that the novice must find out for her
self and which she can only learn af-
ter many hard knocks and secret
heart-burnings and innumerable head
aches, the latter acquired by burning
too much midnight oil in thinking up
ways and by improper and hasti-
ly eaten food. After the first six
months the competitor in the industrial
struggle has learned valuable lessons,
which will be of incalculable value
in years 10 come. She has learned to
depend upon herself and to appreciate
her own capabilities and shortcomings.
She has learned how to buy a sensible
lunch for small amount of change,
instead of existing on ice-cream and
eclairs or reasonable but impossible
slices of lardy pies. She has learned
her position in the world and it is her
own fault if she has not learned how
to hold it with dignity and to COM
mand respect without being disagree
able or naughty.

REFLECIoNTs OF A BACHELOR.

Either people are thinking about
getting married or wondering why
they did.
Anyway, farm er doesn't have to
subscribe to leagues to reform some
thing.
A bachelor may not save any money,
but he has laundering lot more to
spend.
A man can write more letters to a
girl he is engaged to than he can after
he has married her.
Every woman would like to be rich
so her friends would peep from behind
the curtains at her in her carriage to
see if she was coming to cali when she
wasn't.
An awful good sermon to preach
is generally very poor one to lis
ten to.
When woman has good figure il

it.
Either a girl is always thinking OF
some matinee she is going to or some

"A 7RRACHERls EiIBARRAssMEEr.

An amusing storyis told of Seattle
ry Island, in connection with St. Pat
rick. A newly-ordained priest was in
vited to give the panegyric of the saint
on his feast day in Limerick. The ca
thedral was crowded, and the sacristy
through which the young and nervous
preacher had to pass on his way to
the pulpit was filled with clerical stu
dents, many of whom were friends OF
the orator.
Ashe threaded his way through them
he whispered to one of them who was
a bit Of wag. "Tell me where St.
Patrick was born p I'm Scattery
Island, of course. Surely you know
that The preacher delivered a
well-prepared and eloquent discourse,
which was highly appreciated by all
those who were listening to him and
who were like himself citizens of
Limerick of the violated treaty. The
aged bishop, who.was very deaf, had
been wheeled to the front of the pull
pit stairs, from whence, with his ear
trumpet, he could follow the discourse
of the preacher, who was protege
of his. Everything was right until
near the close, when the young priest
wished to speak of St. Patrick $
birthplace. He then delivered him
self somewhat in this manner
"What an encouragement it ought
to be to you to lead holy lives, you
faithful Catholics of Limerick, to know
that the great apostle of Ireland was
born on that sacred little island, Scat
terry Island, at the mouth of your
splendid river" The bishop could
not stand this Justification of all his
tory, so he shouted out ''That is
not true, sir, he was not born there. y
The poor young orator then said
ellis lordship, the Bishop, corrects
me, and says that st. Patrick was moi
born on that island. But it matters
not much when we consider that its
soil was made sacred by his footsteps
and haliowed by his tears and pray
ers." And he would have continued
| in that strain, but the bishop coult
restrain himself no longer, and shout
ed in a voice still louder, than before
"Come down, sir, come down at once
and don't be teaching my people
what is false. St. Patrick was ney
er on Scattery Island, nor for tha'
matter did he set his foot at all or
County Clare, but he blessed tha
county from Limerick" ("

THE cArAIpA TREE.

How forest of extremely valuable
timber may be grown in a score of
years, and made a source of profit
within six to eight years, was demon
strated in an interesting exhibit at
the Worlds Fair.
The particular variety of the
catalpa tree known as Speciosa was
the basis for this exhibit, and the
great value and adaptability of this
wood was shown in all forms. The
catalpa is indigenous to the Wabash
bottom lands III Illinois and Indiana,
but may be grown in any section of
the United States. The tree is known
nearly everywhere, but its great value
is Just beginning to be understood.
Nearly every boy knows the tree be-
cause of the long and slender seed
pod, which when dried burns much
like tobacco, and is often known as
the lady cigars"
1t is the worth of the timber, and
its marvelously quick growth, that is
destined to solve the problem of future
railroad building, and furnish sup
ply of lumber for all purposes.
In the Worlds Fair exhibit Sec
ton of railroad was built showing the
adaptability of catalpa timber for ties.
Old ties, that had been in use for
thirty-two years, and not yet show
ing any signs of decay, were shown.
When it is shown that the average
life of an oak tie is seven years, the
catalpa's value on this line is demon
strated. There were telegraph and
telephone poles that had been in use
as long, and fence posts were ex-
hibited that can be proven to have
been in use for one hundred years.
Not alone for these purposes is the
wood of the catalpa valuable. A
prominent Dayton, O., car-building
plant exhibited section of palace
car, all of the timbers of which. inside
and out, were of catalpa wood. The
timber possesses all of the require
ments for such work, being strong
and susceptible to fine finish. Aftel
it has been placed in the finish of q
palace car, it is often mistaken fol
oak, chestnut, or cherry. Furniture
factories also exhibited fine chairs
! desks, and other furniture made from
this wood.-ScientJfc Ame,1can.
