RIrmiuRham, Feb. 9--(Special-- State Mine Inspector J. NJ. Gray is preparing the figures of the coal out put in Alabama for the year 1905 and tomorrow the printers will receive the batch of copy. There are yet some small reports to come in, but allowing that these will amount to 25o,000. tons for Walker and Jefferson counties and So.000 tons for smaller mines which do not make regular reports. the output for the past year amounts to 11,6S1. .572 tons, as compared to 11,272.f51 tons for 1904 Several of the larger coal mines show a reduction in their production. This is accounted for in the uuion coal miners strike which has been on for more than year. starting in July. 1904.

These spectators are offering about
65 cents on the dollar, taking the face
value of the policy and not its adjusted
value as the basis for the transaction.
1t is charged that L. A. Moore, ad-
juster for the receiver of the Traders,

one Hiram Haas, speculator, who has
Offices just below those OF Moore in the

has replied that the receiver would not

have been finished, but that Hiram

when I would be paid. 1 was told that
it would be long time before I would
receive any money through the re

could get it from Hiram Haas, three
doors below Moore's Office
II went down to see Haas, ard he

CLEVELAND. Aug. Miss Olga Or
loft, prima donna OF the Avenue Girls
Company, has begun a crusade against
tights. She says that they are un-
sanitary and that it is only a question
OF time when they will become obsolete.
Olga ought to know. Her acquaintance
with tights is intimate and Of long
standing.
The ordinary girl is made sick by
her first week of wearing tights" said
Olga this afternoon. when tights are
worn properly. which means tight and
without wrinkles, there is a strain of
120 pounds to the square inch on the
silk downward from the waist line. A
delicate girl cannot stand it. Loose
tights, of course. are intolerable to the
sight. I was myself laid up a week
last season from lameness caused by
my tights. A suit of extremely close
fitting tights made me very sore 1
took cold and could not walk for a
week.
Sometimes a chorus girl is not
physically, of course. all she should be.
In other words, nature has not run riot
in slowing her avoirdupois. There are
hollow places that need filing out. For
those thus afflicted the 'haut' is the
sovereign remedy The 'haut' is cut
from lambs wool. 1t differs from the
symmetrical in that it is used for only
one occasion, whereas the symmetrical
is a permanent establishment And
right there is another danger. Hauts
and 'symmetricals' tend to stop the cir
culation of blood. I tell you an or
ganized movement against the tights is
slowly gaining ground"

T Y ONOLULU, Aug. THE 'helr'
- ship Atlas. which recently ar
/ rived here from Japan. seems
to be living up to her record.
The Federal authorities are investi-
eating the reported murder of a stow
away and secret burial at sea, which
are said to have been connected with
the ships last voyage. although there
is no record of them in the log. The
captain claims that he knows nothing
whatever OF the affair. In fact, it
is his ignorance that caused his ar
rest. for the charge placed against him
was that of failing to record in the
log of the vessel the death of a per-
son on board.
1t was on July Is that the Atlas
arrived here from Yokohama, where a
stowaway had gone aboard with the
knowledge of only few of the
crew. 1t was on the evening of July
IL that a report was made to the
chief boatswain that a stowaway had
fallen through hatch and was in
jured. The man was then lying in
the hold. According to a witness be-
fore United States Commissioner Nal
ing. the boatswain ordered the man,
who was then writhing in agony, to
be thrown overheard. One of the
witnesses, Haseu by name. said:
Although I was ordered to throw
the man overheard. could not do
it. because he was human being. I
got bucket of water and took it
down to help him."
At midnight Haseu went off watch,
and three men threw the stowaway
overheard. These men were Hoshi-
yama, Sakai and the second boatswain
They lifted the man by ropes to
the deck and threw the living or
the dead, whichever it may have been,
overheard on the port side.
All this happened without the
knowledge of Captain Amberman, who
was not even aware that he had
stowaway on board. The crew of the
Atlas was made up entirely of Jap
anese. Since their arrival here they
have been working on the interisland
steamers in place of the Hawaiian sail
ors, who left to break the sailors strike
in San Francisco.
