Then he had charge Of the public
stores. On the death Of Sayle he was
chosen governor. For his arduous
labors 1t is clear he received poor
compensation. His salary as govern

dollars and this was not fully paid.
In 1877, the proprietors gave him up
their plantation to liquidate his
claims against the colony. George
Chalmers, in his Political Annals or
Carolina, says in speaking OF this
transaction, "This is the first factor
who, at the end of ten years of pru-
dent management, received the
whole product of his traffic, as a re-
ward Of his services, without any i'm
peachment." The grave of Sayle and

British Mineral Statistics.

The total production OF coal In
Great Britain in 1905 amounted to
236, 1896 gross tons, as compared
with 232,42S,272 tons in 1904, an In
crease of 3,7OO,664 tons. OF the pro-
duction in 1905 236.111, $50 tons were
obtained under the coal mines act and
1875 tons from quarries. The pro-
duction In 1905 was the largest In the
history OF the United Kingdom. In
1905 Great Britain also produced H.
590,731 tons of iron ore, against 49,
774,2S2 tons In 1904, an increase of
s16,449 tons. OF the total production
in 1905 7,S6O,9 tons were mined un-
der the coal mines act, 1,76S,307 tons
under the metalliferous mines act,
and 4,96l,4 tons from quarries. The
production In 1905 was greater than
in any year since 1885, when 15,417,-
9S2 tons were mined. The maximum
production of iron ore was reached
in 1882, when the output amounted to
1S,031,957 tons. All the statistics
given above are official and are taken
from the British Blue Book.

The Conscientious Villain.

No paradox is 1t. but demonstrable
fact, that, In a highly articulate So
ciety, the gravest harms are inflicted,
not by the worst men. but by those
with virtues enough to boost, them into
some coign of vantage. e. A. Ross,
In an article In the Atlantic Monthly,
points out that the boss who sells out
the town and delivers the poor over
to filth, disease, and the powers that
prey, owes his chance to his engaging
good Fellowship and big-heartedness.
Some of the most dazzling careers OF
fraud have behind them long and re-
assuring records of probity, which
have served to bait the trap OF VII
lainy. Not that these decoy-virtues
are counterfeit. They are, In fact, so
genuine that often the stalwart SIN
-ner perseveres in the virtue that has
lifted him into the high place he
abuses. The legislator conscientious
ly returns the Doodle when he finds
he cannot deliver the goods The
boss stands by his friends to his own
hurt. The lobbying lawyer Is faith
full to his client. The corrupting cor
poration- president is loyal to hi
stockholders. The boughten edito
never quite overcomes his craft-in
instinct to print "all the news there
is In a word, the big and formid
able sinners are gray Of soul, but no
black, so that chastisement according
to their character rather than accord
ing to their deeds lets them off fal
too easy.

lined for winter and unlined for sum-
mer. The khaki will be retained only
for troops serving at oversee stations.
The trouble, says the Des Moines Reg
lister, is not so much In the color OF
the cloth as in the apparent inability
Of the manufacturers supplying the
government to keep up with the de-
mand. Gen. Humphrey claims that
the supply Of gray cotton goods In
this country is now practically the
monopoly OF one corporation located
In Baltimore, whers selling agents
hold and control the secret Of khaki
dyeing. Neither Of these concerns,
according to statements made In the
quartermaster's department OF the war
department, has materially advanced
the price OF khaki cloth or duck over
that Of former years. but for some
reasons, which are not known at the
war department the contractors are
so far behind in two Of their con-
tracts for khaki cloth that the gov
eminent contractors for the manufac-
ture of/khaki coats and trousers, Gen,
Humphrey says. cannot obtain the ma
terial called for by contracts. This
has entailed much inconvenience to
the army and organized militia. Gen
Humphrey says that any frst-class
cloth mill can produce olive drab
which is entirely the result of blend
ing colors, while the khaki dye Is
piece dyeing and a secret process, SC
far as obtaining a fast color.

Cheers for the losers were not
lacking. They had lost the greatest
distinction which baseball offers to
its votaries, but are still a great
team, and the crowd which followed
their carriages through crowded
blocks did not spare their Threats In
saying so.
That the victory was a fairly earned
one is shown not only by the fact that
the Americans won four out of six
games. incidentally making It unnec'
essary to play the seventh, but by the
hits and runs. The Americans all told
made % runs compared with Is by the
Nationals. They made 80 base hits as
against 81 for the Nationals. The Ma
tionals made but five errors, COM
pared with fourteen by the Americans.
The latter also made the greater mum.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Testimony was
heard Monday before three members
Of the Interstate commerce commits
sion relative to the possible exis-
tence of a grain trust
The first witness was A. T. Aygarn.
OF Pontiac, ILL.,, who told Of his
struggles against the Illinois Grain
Dealers association. Aygarn broke
into tears while on the stand. and It
was necessary to excuse him from
giving further evidence. He declared
as he left the stand, tears streaming
down his facc. and his voice broken
by grief, that he had been ruined be-
cause he had dared to deal with the
farmer and with the track shovelers.
He declared that the discrimination
against him had ben doubled because
the railroads had refused to give him
cars In which to transport his grain.
Secret letters and circulars to men,
bers of the Iowa State Grain Dealers
association, and similar documents is
sued to members Of the Illinois asso-
citation were read to the commission
ers, and the statements were consid-
cred SO unusual by the commissioners
that the witnesses were rigidlly ex-
amined.
J. e. Brennan and L. G. Dunn, grain
solicitors for a Chicago house, told
of the struggle between the farmers
and the organized commission men In
Illinois and Iowa. Both men declared
that their firm had been blacklisted
and boycotted because 1t persists in
buying grain from farmer elevator
companies and not alone from men,
bers of the grain associations.
A number of letters were introduced
In which members Of the Illinois as
sociation protested against the firm
doing business with men whom II
termed irregular.

However much one may need money,
one seldom likes to hold soiled bill in
ones hands. Retail merchants in vari-
GUS pats Of the country have frequent
ly attempted to use only new money in
making change. But the supply is not
sufficient, and most of them have to
give ii up after a while. One such
merchant has taken to cleaning every
bill and every coin taken at his store
before he gives it out in change. The
demand for clean money is now finding
expression in Washington, where the

ly been urging congress to provide for
reprinting worn bills more frequently

Is society giving up using the slip

gard to this point the London Mail
writes: II cannot say that slang Is
going out among the smart set, but
It is constantly changing. so that only
the initiated-that is the chosen few
who are constantly meeting-can tell
which words are in vogue. Woe be-

ITO the outsider who is interested
one may say that It consists wholly
