HOPE FOR THE poLIcYHoLDERs.

The international polieyholders' COM
mittee has formed an organization which
commands respect and must exert wide
influence. The names Of Richad Olney,
Goy. N. B. Broward Of Florida, Judge
George Gray, James @, Hemphill, Alton
n. Parker, Benjamin II. Tracy and
Thomas b. Wanamaker mean serious
effort to give the policyholders. actual
representation on the directories Of the
New York life and the Mutual. If the
men nominated for directors by this
committee are Of equally high standing,
the election cannot but have whole
some effect upon both companies. The
existing administrations are inevitably
under suspicion. Many policyholders
will, on general principles, refuse TO
vote for trustees who are picked out
by those now in power and are pre-
sumably friendly to them. Policyhold-
ers justly demand that directors and offi-
GERS under whom abuses ilomished or
under whom thorough investigation has
been checked, should step out. In or
der to stem this tide Of disaffection,
the present Arrangements must make up
tickets Of men who will be more than
mere dummies. Indeed, the New York
life has already offered a list Of I'M
commonly strong candidates. Thus, by
pressure on the administration, the op-
position, even if not victorious in form,
may be in fact. New York Eveuing

woRKMEN WHO OWN THEIR JOBS.


People who believe in cooperation are
greatly interested IN the Caledonia coal
mining company, at Saginaw, Mich,

controlled BY the workmen who dig the
coal. The mine and its owners are de-
scribed by Arthur Cook in Technical
World magazine for August. The com,
pany has been in existence but few
months, but already il has forced re-
etiction in the local retail price Of coal
from $3.50 To S3.50 a ton. Started

industry, previous to 1861 more than
3O,000000 gallons of alcohol were an
nually used in the United States for
manufacturing purposes. Under the
varying rates of taxation in force sinca
that time, the quantity OF alcohol used
IN the arts and manufactures has stead
ily declined, until at the present tins
the total annual consumption for these
purposes is estimated by competent aura
thorities to be less than 100000 gal
Ions. With a per capita consumption
equal to that Of 1860, we should now
be using s0,0oo,oo0 gallons annually,
or sixteen times as much as is actually
consumed. In view Of the fact that the
per capita consuming power of the public
IS now much greater than in 1860, and
that the number of articles in the man
nfacture OF which alcohol would be used
III it were not for its high price, has
been greatly increased in recent years.
it is evident that the annual censu1np-
ton Of alcohol for industrial purposes
would be much more than S0000.000 gal
Ions. This fact is amply verified BY the
extent to which spirits are used in the
arts and industries in Europe. Germany
alone requires over 40 million gallons
yearly in its industries, while France
makes 100 million gallons, not only from
potatoes, beets and grain, but even from
sawdust, for u French sarant has been
successfully extracting 50 pounds Of
sugar and reducing it to rs gallons Of
pure alcohol, from ton Of ordinary
sawdust. Consequently we can draw
power not only from the plants OF the
field, but even from the trees Of the
forest

ing the world in quest Of his ideal wonl-

jumped ut clue yesterday that the
elusive creature might be found in At

Dupree is lavish in his expenditures
in search of his ideal, and on learning Of
the possibility Of meeting her yesfer-
day he abandoned his plan to scour the
fashionable quarters Of Philadelphia ard
rushed to the shore in flyer auto To
prosecute his search there.
Hopeless as his search seems to be,
Dupree goes at it with the ardor and
enthusiasm Of an optimistic lover. He
says love, he is sure, will guide him to
the woman, if he is really destined for
her. He will not seek a meeting save
with the most conventional propriety,
and should his admiration not be recipe
roeated he will retire from the field.
