NEW FUEL PRODUCT.
Coalite, New Fuel Prepnred from Coal,
 to Warm the Human Body.

Washington, June 13.-Consul r. w. Metcalf forwards from Newcastle a British newspaper statement about a new fuel prepared from coal, for which the following extract points to an ex- tensive use:
 "A good deal of interest has been .centered in 'coalite, and numbers have caled at the exhibition of it in New castle to see this coalite burning in the grate and hear about its. remarka- ble properties as a house fuel It is a bright, hard substance, very similar in appearance to the best coke, and in burning 1t makes' no smoke and gives off, it Is claimed, something like twice the heat of coal, while coalite fire lasts forty per cent. longer than an ordinary coal fire. This coalite is pro- duced by a process similar to that en- Iployed by the gas companies for the production of coke. In the case of the gas companies, coal is treated at a high temperature, the gas and by-pro- ducts being collected and the residue being coke, but by the coalite process Ithe coal Is treated at a much lower temperature, with the result that the Igas obtained is much richer The by products are also richer, and the residue, instead of being coke is coalite which can be easily lighted, and burns with great steadiness and economy. For household purposes it appears to have a special value, in virtue of its cleanliness and it's heating power. This is now fully recognized in London where the prospect of abating the smoke and fog nuisance is hailed with no small satisfaction. The king has
 been impressed with it's qualities ana instructions have been given at Buck. | ingham palace to have the cellars swept clear of all coal and nothing but coalite put there for the future Gu, of ton of coal about seventy per. cent iof coalite is extracted, but it's calorifiC power being much greater, the tor
 may be said to have suffered no loss
 in value, while at the same time tho
 gas and vast range of by-product:
 have been extracted.
 "The intention is to bring out a com.
 pany in the course of week or two
 which will erect works at Barking
 near London, and will possess rights
 for Great Britain. The new works are
 to be capable of carbonizing some g..
 O0OOOo tons annually The process
 moreover can be applied to all bitum linous coals. Contracts have alread, been entered into with the leading coa
 merchants for the sale of over 2O0O, ,OO
 tons of coalite per annum for con
 sumption in London only"

her face the other way and she and the other girl and the two boys sailed by prouder than peacock.
 And so it goes. Cruelty and pride and vanity stabbing their way through the world. Women are worse than men. Men accept one another for what they are really worth. A rich man, who has honestly earned his money, thinks nothing of talking to some one's hired man. The railroad brakeman and the railroad president have relations that their wives never could assume-proyiding that their wives are fools. A man is proud of the fact that he has worked with his hands and come up in the world. There was a woman at the federation of the clubs last spring who was once head waiter at the Whitley, and though she was a cultivated, honest woman she was ashamed of it, and if the Gazette had printed the fact at the time the federation would have mobbed the office.
 Now, why? If her husband had once been a porter at the Whitley and had made money, he would have been proud of his rise Women are funny, This is funny world ,-Emporia Gag cite.

AND so TT GOES
Cruelty and Pride Always stabbing
 One Little Lower Down.

..
 A young woman in this town went visiting in New York She was visiting some suburban people in an aristocra- tic neighborhood outside of town. She went to party and was introduced to a number of girls. They seemed nice enough girls and she had a good time. But when she met them down in New York they din't know her from rao- bit. She afterward heard that they said her father was storekeeper.
 And she had good cry at the cruelty of women in general She said she would die before she would treat dog that. way!
 Rut she came home and was visit ing at a house where girl was work ing for her living. She and the girl and other girls at the house had good time one afternoon together. And then few days later the proud storekeeper's daughter sailed down. town in her fluffy white duds and nassed the girl she had met few days before and cut her dead. Could she be speaking to every hired girl she met on the street?
 Why. of course not And the sec ond girl went home and had good cry. And she wouldn't treat dog that way.
 And she went to a dance in the country, where they moved the things out from the front room and the kitchen, and put the fiddler and caller-off in the bedroom door. And she met a big-footed Dutch country girl, who danced on her heels and threw the boys around like sacks of flour. And the country girl thought the city girl with her big hat and town clothes was just the sweetest thing out of heaven. And when the country girl came to town looking like fright one Saturday night she ran into the city girl and her chum from the West Side on parade with a dapper little clerk and pretty looking tin-horn gambler, whom all the girls at the shirtwaist dance said was just dead swell" And do you think the town girl spoke to the big footed country girl with her funny clothes on?
 Not on your tintype. She turned

benefit which the construction of the hotel would be to the city"
 IA taxpayer contested the validity of the tax because his hotel property was omitted, and in Weeks vs. city of Mil waukee ct al, 10 Wis, 264, the court says
 Omissions of this character, arising from mistakes of fact, erroneous com putations, or errors of judgment on the part of those to whom the execution of the taxing laws is entrusted, do not necessarily vitiate the whole tax. But lntentlanal disregard of those laws, in such manner as to impose illegal taxes on those who are assessed, does.
 In state ex rel Coe vs. Fyler, AS Conn. 145, town, at meeting duly warned for the purpose, unanimously (exeept- ing one vote) voted to reduce the tax assessed against a corporation, which said town deemed to have been unjust ly assessed upon the property. The court held the vote to be void, and said (p. 15S):-
 When the proper officers have legally placed upon each individual his share of this public burden, the town has no power to lift it from him, he being of ability to pay, either in the form of abatement before, or in that of gift af- ter collection; for, this being done, a deficiency would result to be supplied by the impositiono additional assess ment upon others; and this is to violate the fundamental law of taxation, that It shall bear equally upon all.
 The principle of equality of taxation is violated to the same extent when the property is omitted from the list because of an attempted exemption, as when the tax is abated on the same property after being placed in the list The effect in either case is to remove the property from taxation, resulting in a deficiency "to be supplied by the i'm position of additional assessment upon others.'
 The town of Brewer, Me, at it's an- nual town meeting held March 4, 1870, voted-
 That the town will exempt from tax ation for a term of ten years manu- faoturing and refining establishments hereafter erected in town and the caps ital used for operating the same etc.
 In Brewer Brick Go. vs. Brewer, 62 Me, 62, the court held the vote to be invalid, and CD. 7) commented on the principle of such attempted discrimina- tion between industrial enterprises, as follows:
 If the same kind of manufacture has been heretofore carried on as is pro- posed to be exempted from the pay ment of taxes then in the same town in case of exemption, will be seen the re- markable spectacle of two manufac- turers, engaged In the same industrial pursuits, the one with his capital freed from all public burdens, the other bear- ing his just proportional share
 One manufacturer is taxed for his own estate and for that which is ex7 empted to relieve his competing neigh bor, and to enable the latter to under- sell him in the common market.
 It would not seem to require any thing but statement of the facts tc show that such policy Is inequltabe and unfair, and violates the funda- mental law of taxation, that it shal bear equally upon all.
 am respectfully yours, H. H. HOLCOMB. Attorney General.
