Coal and Money as Sinews

An interesting phase Of the struggle
which has arisen between the mine
operators Of the anthracite and part
Of the bituminous regions on the one
hand and the miners union on the
other is the enormous preparations
which each side has made for the con-
hict Never in the history of the in
dustrial world have the parties to a
strife been known to be so weIl-pre-
pared to face the condition OF strike,
as is the case with the mine owners
with their 100000 tons of coal, and
the miners with their $6,000,000 in the
bank and more coming in from every
held where the miners are at work.
And 1t Is this preparedness which gives
each confidence.
The huge mountains of coal stored

the operators to feel that they are well
able to stand a long strike, especially

raise the price two dollars ton and
clear $40,000,000 on their STOCK of TO-
100000 tons. Beside this extra profit
which it will be quite possible for the
operators to reap, If they so see fit, the
$b,OO0,O00 of the defense fund of the
miners does not loom up very big, but
such sum Of money can be made to
go a very long ways in sustaining the

however, children of neither marriage
would have hereditary rights in the
fathers Office, it seems idle to attempt
a comparison-we make it simply to
accentuate that the morganatic union
of the ruler of Christian nation pre-
sents itself to our minds as OF a
strangeness.
Abroad these unions cannot be said
to be common; they are entered into
not of volition but at the merciless I'M
pulse Of tyrannous Cupid. Recently
we were led to glance over this page Of
royal history, and in reading of the
manner in which royal lover and hum
BILE mate fell into the relation that in
SO many cases resulted in heartbreak
for at least one OF the. pair, the stories
were reminiscent of the sentimental
novels Of an elder day

equal born: Russian grand dukes have
almost kept pace with archdukes; the
royal house Of Bavaria has also suf-
fered-a student of heredity would
probably not use this word; and staid
England has had to allow the morgan
attic marriage. We expect the roman
tic, the adventurous of the dashing
Hapsburg, the artistic" temperament

look to an English prince for the grand

he met and fell in love with the daugh-
ter OF his chief oficer. They were Sc
cretly married. The girls mother was
dead, the father was furious when told
the momentous news. The other tath-
er, Edward, prince of Wales, took the
announcement with smiling philoso-
ply it may be presumed gave the cou-
pie a left-hand blessing. Now NOR
ganatic marriage is real marriage
when all the conditions of the particu-
lar country are complied with, al
though the children of such union
are not looked upon as heirs to the
fathers title and the estates pertain
ing thereto. In England, consent Of
the re1gning monarch must be OBJ
tanned if the royal one concerned is
under a certain age. Victoria would
not have given her consent, and Prince
George did not request it.
Prince George and the officers
daughter were known in whatever spot
happened to be their place of seclusion
as Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour, or st. Maur.
The lady followed the sailor prince,
now making her home in a port in the
south of France, now dwelling quietly
in town or at Southsea, England. Pres
emily two children were added to the
family, a boy and girl. After the
birth Of the children Prince George
asked his father to recognize his NOR
ganatic marriage; but as King Edward
no longer INDUCED in the easy, philo-
sophie attitude, he refused. The union
was not recognized, no title conferred
on Che wife-the customary gift to the
woman. Furthe George was sent

The coal supply of the Lehigh Va

The coal supply Of the Lehigh Val
ley appears to be as large as, if not
larger than, any other railroad. To the
northeast of ,Easton they have covered
one entire farm of about eight acres
with steam coal.
Another large coal supply Of the L.
high Valley company is at Coxton, in
the northern Luzerne county region.
Perched on the side of the mountain,
with the tracks at It's base, are hun
dreds of thousands of tons of coal
from what were once the mines of tho
Coke Brothers, since taken over by the
railroad company.
Around Philadelphia the Philadel-
phia & Reading Railway company has
its storage plants, convenient to tide
water and coal barges. Its largest
plant is at Phoenixville, where 1t has
in the neighborhood Of 100000 tons
Figures like that convey little idea of
the enormous bulk at such a. place.
For a $4,000 ton heap the height is
about IS feet, with a base of the cir
conference of city block. It cannot
be blown up nor can it be set afire.

ket. The Reading has its other stor-
age depots down in the Northumber-

has it's largest storage depot at Hamp-

mands during the summer and fall.
Honesdale has the principal supply
for the Erie, it was said, although it
was also admitted that it has more
tAan 100000 tons hidden away along
its lines In small deposits. The Homes
dale depot is on the side of the noun
tain, and its amount was said to be
something like 100000 tons. There
was more Erie coal at Simpson, furth-
er up the valley, but where the other
pockets are was not revealed. Carbon
| dale Is the principal coal supply of
the Delaware & Hudson Canal COM
pany. For that purpose it recently
bought the local race track, known as
Anthracite park and there its steel
buckets have deposited more than
CSC, 900 tons, while more is said to be
at Millersburg and other points along
the valley there.
Those are some Of the stations in
the coal regions and in the east. but
no account was given OF the enormous
coal deposits known to be around Buf-
falo. The Erie, the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western and the Lehieh
Valley all run into Buffalo and shin
coal by the lakes west. All of them
have their storage stations and tho
winter has seen at least 1000. 900 tons
sent in there. It was said that this
supply is stored principally to await
the opening Of the lake navigation.
That takes in the list Of coal denots
Of what Is known as the combined on
orators or the coal roads. When it
comes to an estimate of the coal sum-
ply OF the Independent operators the
problem becomes very difficult. None
of the independents have a regular
coal storage depot so far as can be
learned, but about every colliery In
the coal regions there Is a coal stor-
age supply in many cases 'equalling in
size the culm banks surrounding the

wing.
The U-tube can is damned to part, and
trimmed the bilge bobstay,
And we lay course for the moons pale
disc on the fringe of the Milky WAs.
Our Captain links, of the Sky Marines. is
glued to the upper keel,
With Bos'n Hank at the dorsal tank and

We leave Aldermaran on the lee, Polar

And all goes well till the colloid's bell and
the vacuum gins to snort:
Thenthe fiddle-dee-dee gets off the key, and
the fol-lol drops stitch;
There's the devil to pay with the bilge bob
stay, and the bulkhead jumps the
switch.
But Captain Jinks who is eyed like lynx,
puts a crimp In the U-tube can.
And Kip he spins the wheel to port and be-
lays the electric fan.
While Bos'n Hank at the dorsal tank lets

And we weather the blow with a 'Teo-

There are many curious differences
between: authors as, they really are and
authors as popular fancy imagines
them. Reading the works of F. Hop
Smith, for example, one pictures the
author as tall and slender, like a light
house, with a smooth, dark face; where.
as, MIR: Smith is built more like a
brewery and appears two-thirds mus
tache.
So with Americas foremost man Of
letters, Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston.
One thinks of him as an alert, sharp.
eyed, short-haired, nervous. frenzied
man, who divides his time between
scrutinizing the market bulletin board
and debating his mastery essays on
finance to two stenographers at once.
Indeed, it was in the stock market
that the writer looked for Mr.. Law
son on a recent visit to Boston-and
looked in vain. We. then made a pill
grimage to the authors residence, and
found him in his quiet study, sur.
rounded by his beloved books. .~,+

the time when the foundations of the
coal storage mountains were laid, and

Workers union began piling up the

Investigations have revealed that lit
orally mountains of coal exist in at
least three states, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and New York, all convenient
ly located for shipping to every point
in the country, both by rail and water.
Twenty million tons of coal. Sufficient
it is claimed to keep the kitchen
stoves, the furnaces and the engines
OIL the country using hard coal going
until far into next winter, If not until
the following spring.
The largest of the coal storage plants
are those Of the Pennsylvania railroad
at South An1boy, N. j., which has
100000 tons of hard coal in the three
sizes-pea, egg and chestnut-sur-
rounding the hill to. the north of the
town; the Lehigh Valley railroad stor-
age plant at South Plainfield. with it's
100000 tons; the Hampton Junction
plant of the Central railroad of New
Jersey, with as much more; the Phil
adelphia & Reading storage plant at
Phoenixville: the Delaware & Hudson
storage plant at Honesdale, and the
New York, Ontario & Western accu-
mutations along its lines.
The Pennsylvania has now two very
large deposits, one at South Amboy
and the other at Mcclellan. a small
village on the Northern Central
branch above Harrisburg, and a third
has been built at Runyon, which is
about three miles distant from South
Amboy. The coal deposit at South
Amboy has 20 large conical noun
tains now safely stored. Feeding every
pie an endless chain system of buck
cts, known as the Dodge coal storage
system, has been constantly busy for
many months. These buckets can
carry two tons of coal minute to the
top Of the pile. where it is distributed
by chutes. One thousand tons of coal
day has been a fair average for a
days work.
At Runyon. where, in the new yards,
coal has been stored, the plant is
larger than the South Amboy plant
and it's capacity has only i,een limited
by the trackage around st. Working at
full pressure it has been able to alb
serb almost the entire daily output of
tbs Pennsylvania system. The McClel-
Ian yards, above Harrisburg, are
larger than the South Amboy yards.
and their position is absolutely safe,
although it is convenient to the lower
Schuylkill and the Lykens valley re-
gion. 1t is safe to say that there are
between 100000 aud 100000 tons of
coal there and the full capacity of the
plant has not yet been reached.
At South Plainfield the yards of the
Lehigh Valley railroad contain over
100000 tons Of hard coal, and the
tracks are crowded with trains wait
Ing to add their cargoes to the already
large piles. There were IA OF these
piles, several of which contained more
than $4,000 tons of coal. <>; +. j
