Mr.. Edick heard her calls and helped

The summers deeds of the girl hero
include the capture of many burglars.
The record of her accomplishments in
this line have made many a pretty
story. The World Magazine has told
how Mrs. Esther Evans, the plucky
little janitress at the apartment house,
No. 1913 West Twenty-ninth street, has
captured since June 20 seven burglars
and turned them over to the police.

composing the plant have been re-

lot near the Dutch Henry feed yard,
where the paving plant is to be locat-
ed. 1t will require several days to set
up the machinery now on hand, and
by that time it is believed the re-

Just now the particular trouble be-

placed before the paving is done.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-Mayor
Schmitz left today for three months
vacation trip in Europe. His selection
of the present time for his vacation is
due largely to his desire to escape the
political tangle into which he has been
drawn. At recent republican state
convention Schmitz practically nomi-
mated Gillette, the Southern Pacific's
candidate for governor.
After this selection union labor
leaders denounced Gillette as a traitor
to the cause of labor. Before the con-
vention was held Mayor Schmitz de-
clared: Il will never support an en-
envy to the cause Of labor"
AS Gompers denounced Gillette,
Schmitz would be forced to bolt the
republican nominee.

Output Exceeded all Previous Rec
ords ID United States
GOVERNMENT STATISTICS MADE PUBLIC
ACCORDING TO REPORT TOTAL
VALUE OF COAL WAS
$476, 1865

Both in quantity and value, the pro-
duction of coal in 1905 surpassed all
previous records in the history of the
United States. The output, accord
ing to a forthcoming report of Mr..
Edward w. Parker, statistician Of the
United States Geological Survey,
amounted to 392,919,341 short tons,
which had a value at the mines of
s476,756, 1868. Compared with 1904,
when the production amounted to
351, S16,39S short tons, valued at $444,-
81, O21, the output in 1905 exhibits an
increase of 41,1O2,943 short tons, or
III per cent in quantity. and of $780,
3S5942 or 7.3 per cent in value. Prior
to 1905 the maximum output of coal
was obtained in 1903, when the pro-
duction amounted to 357,356, 416 short
tons, valued at $500, 1881, compared
an increase in production of 35,562,9
short tons, and of 26967,4 AIS. The
high value recorded in the statistics
for 1903 was due to the somewhat
abnormal f1uctuation in prices. caused
by the shortage of fuel supplies, which
resulted from the strike in the anthra-
cite region Of Pennsylvania in the pre-
ceding year. The lower values in 1904
as compared with 1903 were simply
return to normal conditions, but the
decline in 1905 was the result of pro-
duction in excess of market require
ments, unusually large as they were.
OF the total production in 1905, Co.
339,152 long tons equivalent to IT,
$50, $50 short tons were Pennsylvania
anthracite, with value at the mines
of $141 900. The total production
of bituminous coal and Ignite was
4.O2O.662 long tons Cor 4,5O3,151 short
tons) more than that of 1904, while
the increase in the production of bit
luminous coal and Ignite was &c.
$685. short tons. A portion of these
increases in both anthracite and btu
minous production was due to the ef-
forts of operating companies to pro-
vide supply Of fuel in anticipation
of "a suspension of mining in April,
1906, when the wage scale agreements
in the organized coal-producing states
and the award of the strike commits
sion in the anthracite region of Penn
sylvania would terminate.
1t is a fact worthy of note that the
total increase in the production of
coal in the United States in 1905 over
1904 was larger than the production
of France in 1904, or of any other
foreign country except Great Britain,
Germany and Austria Hungary and
was almost equal to the production of
Austria Hungary. The total produc-
ton of this country last year was
nearly so per cent larger than that Of
Great Britain, which until 1899 was
the leading coal-producing country Of
the world, and was more than double
that of Germany. Another interesting
fact presented in the statistics of the
production of coal in the United States
is that each decade the output has
been practically doubled.
The larger part of the increased
production in 1905 was due to the
great activity in the iron industry. as
is shown by the fact that the amount
of coal made into coke increased
