torney General William Henry Moody
of Massachusetts as justice of the Su-
preme Court of the United States to
succeed Justice Henry Billings Brown,
who retired some time ago. Mr..
general since July 1, 1904. Previous

than two years as secretary of the

Knox Smith, now assistant commits
sioner of corporations, will be ap-
pointed to Mr.. Garfield's place. These
changes and that of the retirement of
Commissioner Richards of the General
Land Office on March 4th were an
nounced in statement from the
White House to-day. The statement
says regarding Mr.. Hitchcock:
THE secretary of the interior, Mr.
Hitchcock, has informed the President
that he would be unable to stay after
March 4th. Mr.. Hitchcock has for
some time felt that the very exhaust
ing work he has been engaged in for
over eight years in the Interior De
partment was wearing on him so as
to make it impossible for him much
longer to remain. At the Presidents
earnest request he consented to ac-
cept reappointment on March 4. 1906.
at the time of the Presidents inaugu-
ration. But he then stated that he
could not say how long he would stay
and he feels sure now he must insist
that he be relieved March 4th. The
President urged him to accept the am
bassadorship to France, but Mr.. Hitch
cock feels that he is entitled to abso-
lutte rest and was obliged to refuse
the offer"
Mr.. Smith has filled the position of
assistant commissioner of corporations
since August Is, 1903. He was ap-
pointed from Connecticut.

Our Coal Supply.

!: Occasionally fears are expressed
that the coal supply of the United
States will give out. This apprehen-
sion is entertained because this coun-
try. while surprising all others in pro-
'duction, is also the greatest coal con-
sumer in the world But every now
and then comes the announcement of
e new discovery which shows that the
limit has not yet been reached. A
vein in Pennsylvania has just been
found which the experts say contains
millions on millions C tons of coal.
and they roughly estimate its value at
s50.000.00G to s75O0O,00O. 1t is about
as difficult to convince people of the
dsager of a complete exhaustion of the
coal supply as it is to make them be-
lievc in the reality of an ice famine.

New Mexico Election.

Santa Fe. New Mexco.-The latest
returns, still quite incomplete give
statehood in New Mexico a majority,
of 1900, and Andrews, for delegate to
Congress, 1850 majority over his
Democratic opponent. Nine members
OF the Legislative Council are Repub-
licans, one a Democrat and two in
doubt. Nineteen members of the
house are Republicans, four Demo
Gratis, with one in doubt
The Republicans elect their county
tickets in fourteen out of the twenty
five counties: the Democrats in eight.
and there are fusion or partial party
victories in the three remaining coun-
ties. In Santa Fe county the Republ-
cans elect their county ticket by
narrow margin. The county gave
1000 majority against statehood.

CHAPTER XVI.
The LEAGUE Auainst the corone

The League Against the Colonel.
Colonel John was aroused by these
words of his guide-he had fallen into
quite Il reverie as he walked along.
and it may easily be surmised that
the peculiar adventure had happened
to him under the Lyndhurst roof oc-
cupied prominent place In his
thoughts by day and by night
He now found they were in front of
plain dwelling house.
1t did not differ from scores OF
others in the Immediate vicinity.
which was of the poorer classes.
There was nothing about the plae g
to indicate danger.
Federal soldiers could be seen on
the street in either direction, for At
lanta was tight in the grip of Sher-
mans host, and overrun by the boys
in blue.
Sergeant, wait for me at the doo-. y

groaned Samho, but the sergeant paid
no heed to his lamentations, and calm
ly proceeded to lay a hand upon his
shoulder, while with the other he eS-
posed revolver. the sight of which
almost made the poor darky's wool
stand mp on end with fright.
Meanwhile Colonel John stalked up
to the door, upon which he knocked
loudly.
There were lights in the house, hut
the curtains were drawn so that not n
glimpse of the interior could be OBJ
tanned
In answer to his summons the sound
of bolts being withdrawn could be
plainly heard.
Then the door opened few inches.
what do you want?" asked voice.
81 have come-you sent for me-"
returned the soldier. 1T is Colonel
Ridgeway."
Then the door opened wider.
Colonel John experienced a queer
sensation as in answer to the invita-.
tion extended to him he stepped
across the door-sill and entered the
house.
He found himself in plainly fur
nished room.
Colonel John, having cast his eyes
around to make mental note of his
position, now turned his gaze upon
a woman. the only person in the room.
She had quietly closed the door.
and stood there facing him.
He started at sight of that darkly
beautiful face, seeing which she gave
| a low laugh, disagreeable laugh that
gave the hearer shudder.
"Well, hardly expected to find you
here, madame" he said, with frown.
mo doubt, and yet you knew was
in the city, my dear Colonel John,'
returned the woman, advancing close
to his side.
That is true-you dared to call
upon my-that is upon Miss Granger,
and tell her a base lie-to affirm that
was your husband because through
the grace of my cousin Crockett you
have right to bear the name of
Ridgeway. Perhaps l ought to thank
you for your kind action, since l have
reason to believe it has furthered my
cause"
