HELPS POOR PEOPLE SAVE.
Associated Charities Relieves iF
Preparing for Hard Times.

TN time Of plenty prepare for want is
the motto adopted by the Associated
Charities Of Washington.
In speaking Of the preparation Of the
work for the coming winter, Secretary
Charles F. Weller, of the Associated
Charities. said yesterday that it has been
the aim Of the eight agents Of the asso-
citation. each one Of whom is responsible
for a certain section of the city. to ac-
quaint themselves with the conditions CT
families visited during the summer, so
that when winter comes the association
can be in position to respond to the more
numerous calls for assistance.
Each family and individual is urged
during their period of prosperity TO save
something OF their earnings, if it be only
five cents a week. An agent of the as
ISOLATION makes a weekly collection of the
savings. and in this manner $1,000 was
collected from the poor families of the
District during the last year. This
money. amounting to three, five. OF pos
sibly ten dollars in individual cases. is re-
turned to them when a request is made or
necessity demands.
During the year ending June 80, 1905
9.7l6 applications We're received from or
in behalf Of needy families. This repre-
sents about one-thiTtieth Of the entire
population Of the District

CUBANS WANT U. S. TROOPS.
Better Classes Realize HeIpIessness
and VIII Urge Retention.

Or. ]. ". Thomas, formerly connected
with the War Department. has returned
from a business trip to Cuba. He went
to Havana last summer. before the break
ing out Of the recent Instruction, and
was in Cuba during the uprising. DIT.
Thomas speaks Spanish, and has many
friends among the residents Of the island.
He says few Americans really know the
true conditions in Cuba He said no event
since the blowing up Of the Maine has
created the excitement in Havana that the
entry Of the cruiser Denver did. Her com
ing with its small force Of marines turned
the tide of revolution and saved the city
from a horror no man could imagine.
DR.. Thomas said the efforts of Messrs.
Taft and Bacon 10 bring order out OF
revolutionary chaos were not only wise,
out were much appreciated by the better
class Of Cubans He said the Cubans
feel that the American authorities are
their friends, and have confidence that
the powerful hand Of Uncle Sam alone
can save their republic.
DR.. Thomas said he believed the United
States army viii stay a long time in
Cuba. If they do not. IL viii be neces-
sary to repeat what had been done within
the last few months at intervals. until
the present generation in Cuba Is sup
planted by one capable OF seIf-gOveTn-
ment. He repeated the words Of a score
of his friends, who told him that Cuba
was not ct for government. He de-
clared the experiment had miserably fail
ed. and it would fail much quicker q sec
ond time. because the strain between the
two chief political parties is more tense
than it has ever been. There is not now
patriotism enough in Cuba 10 save her.
DR.. Thomas declares that the entire
negro population. much of the hslf-breed
element, and some Of the poorer Span
iards We're intent upon one thing. and
that was 10 get a living without work.
The only way they can reasonably expect
TO avoid industry Is 10 hold public Office,
and when the party TO which they hap
pen to belong IS not in power, the only
alternative is 20 seize the machete or q
rife, mount horse, and become an insur-
yectO.

COAL ENOUGH FOR CENTURIES
No Fear Of the Supply Soon BecOm-
ing Exhausted.
Geological Survey Officials Laugh az
Fears That Fuel May Become
Scarce in Few Years.

officials OF the Geological Survey de-
clare that the present generation, tho
eratons need not worry about the coal
generation TO follow, and still other gen
supply Of the United States.
There is abundance OF coal in this
country" said one OF the survey scien-
lists. In fact. there is coal TO burn
for many centuries 10 come. While II is
impossible 10 make any accurate prophecy
think it is safe 10 say that the supply
n the United States viii last for 1900 or
5000 years"
The idea has gone abroad in the land
that the tremendous consumption Of coal
in the last twenty-five years threatens
to exhaust the supply. and in a COM
paratively few years a mex fuel VIII have
to be invented OF discovered to take the
place Of this product
why, do you know, some people ara
really worrying about their fuel necessi-
ties for next year and the year after,
continued the scientist.
Some interesting statistics Of the pro-
duction and consumption Of coal in Jhs
United States have been prepared by the
Survey. Up TO the close Of the year ls5j
the total production had amounted 70
8. SO. o55 tons In the following decade It
increased 10 az, as, IO4 tons. making the
total production Up 10 shat time more
than 700.000000 tons. The grand total Of
coal produced in this country I'd 10 1879
was $3.50, 1881 short tons.
This great increase in the production
of coal, when considered with the in
crease in the population" says a Survey
report. furnishes some interesting com
parsons. Going back for a period OF q
little over fifty years ago. or TO the mid
die OF the last century. and comparing
the statistics Of coal production with the
| increased population, il IS found that in
! 1880, according 10 the census for that year.
/ he production Of coal amounted to 6,445.-
/ 6S1 tons, when the population of the coun-
| Try amounted to 23,191S76 persons. The
| per capita production Of coal in that year
/ is thus seen TO have been 0Z7S tons. IN
1850 ten years later. the population was
/ 8, 49,, 81 persons. and the coal production
amounted 10 1898, 922 tons, or an average
/ of e5l4 ton per person"
! The per capita consumption has jumped
{ by leaps and bounds ahead OF the in
/ crease in population
/ The report continues; while the pop
/ ulation from 1850 to 1900 has shown an in
crease Of go per cent, the production OF
/ coal increased 4.0S4 per cent"

Richmcnd, Va, Nov. "a party Of
thirteen farm laborers from England ar
rived here today via Philadelphia and re-
ported to the Office of the commissioner
OF agriculture, where they found many
applications of farmers on hand for such
labor. BY night most Of them had found
homes and had started for them.
This is not contract labor in any sense.
The commissioner simply addresses them
that there are many demands for farm
laborers to come to Virginia and they
can get work. The law against contract
labor is strictly observed.
Another party Of a dozen families are
on their way. Commissioner Komer says
there is work in Virginia for $1,000 English
farmers.
