INCIDENT TOLD BY CYNIc.
Proof Of Presence of Skeleton in
Every Mans Closet,


The late Emerson Bennett OF Phila
delphia was in his prime the most
popular American author He was the
star Of Robert Bonner's New York
Ledger staff. and certain of his books
THE Prairie Flower" and THE
Phantom of the Forest"-had a circu-
lation that would be thought enormous
even now.
Mr.. Bennett was over so years old
when he died. He was so unfortunate
as to have outlived his fame. Never
theless. he continued cheerful TO the
end. and in the Masonic home. where
his last days were passed his humor
was priced highly.
Mr. Bennett often used to talk about
Robert Bonner at the home. This is
one of the Bonner stories that he
sometimes told:
Bonner one day was criticising hu-
man rature cynically. A clergyman
took up the cudgel in human natures
defense.
There is good in all of'us," he said:
more good than bad. believe that 90
per cent of us have never done any
thing for which there is real cause to
be ash tmed."

Appeal to School Children.

Denver.-The school children in Col
orado, the future citizens of the Cen
tennial state, will b easked to contrib
ute the greater portion of $4,000, to
be raised by popular subscription, to
purchase silver service for the
cruiser Colorado. 1t is estimated that
10-cent subscription from every
school boy and girl of Colorado would
bring the fact that the states name is
being carried to foreign shores by the
cruiser, home to them and give them
an interest in the movements of the
vessel. Adults will also be asked to
contribute and a time limit will be set
in which to raise the money.

fortunately" said Mr.. Krause "this Is not quite
a statement Of fact It is an end toward which
I have been working for the last Eve or six
years. and In this work have met with a con-
siderable measure Of success, but do not wish
the people OF New York TO be misled into be-
Heving that Cleveland Is yet entirely rid Of the
smoke nuisance. But it soon will be-"
It is true that Cleveland uses bituminous coal
almost exclusively in it's industries. Anthracite
coal and coke are used only for domestic con-
sumption. except in metallurgical processes
where the use Of coke Is demanded. The semi
bituminous coal from the Pocahontas region OF
West Virginia is used largely in the heating
plants Of apartment houses. Natural gas from
the West Virginia fields is much used for do
mestic purposes and to an increasing extent in
industrial work 1t finds a field particularly
well suited to its use in the brickyard and pot
teries, for gas engines IN small manufacturing
plants and in a few steam boiler plants. The
great bulk of the industries of Cleveland, how
ever, are dependent entirely upon the use Of
bituminous coal. This includes all Of the large
power plants for street railway and lighting, all
OF the large manufacturing concerns, the en-
tire business part of the city, locomotives on
railways and all of the boats and tugs on the
river and harbor.
About six years ago a city ordinance touch
a municipal Office was established for the pur-
pose Of caring for that particular line Of work
careful canvass Of the city was made and
list Of the steam boiler plants and other smoke
producing establishments was arranged.
A campaign Of education and persuasion was
first started, and the matter of economy resulting
from properly equipped boiler plants being made
as prominent a feature OF the work that OF
getting rid Of the smoke nuisance.
The street railway and lighting companies and
the large manufacturers took the matter up in
the broad way which the magnitude Of the work
demanded. and the work of remodelling the
steam boiler plants was begun. A little cOnsid-
Grafton OF the matter made it clear that in order
TO have chimneys free from smoke, and at the
same time bituminous coal as fuel. It was
necessary to have the plant designed as to
have ample boiler capacity for the work re-
quired; that there should be at all times suffi-
cient draft to supply the proper amount Of air
70 the fuel and remove the products of combus-
ton, and that the furnace under the boilers
should be so constructed that the supply of fuel
and air be made gradual and regular Thus it
was found that the best results could be secured
only by the installation of suitable mechanl-
cal stokers.
The work begun six years ago has gone stead
| lily forward. A recent canvass of the city shows
a total Of 2,260 boilers OF these about AGO are
for heating purposes in small apartment houses,
schooIhouses, churches, etc, leaving about ! 800
boilers in steam power plants OF this number
there are now 6S5 equipped with mechanical

the amount of power in steam boiler plants. for
all Of the large power plants equipped with
mechanical stokers. leaving only the smaller and
scattered plants which have not yet come into
line About 75 per cent Of the total boiler ca
pacity in the city is equipped with satisfactory
smoke preventers.
Within the last two months the several rail-
roads entering Cleveland have begun vigorous
campaign along the same lines and their en-
gines are now being provided with smoke pre-
venting appliances as fast as they can spare
them to go into the repair shops.

CLEVELAND LESS SMOKY
