TELEGRAPHERs GO BACK.
Four Hundred Return in New York
Business Likely to Improve.

NEW YORK. Nov. s.-The Western
Union and Postal Telegraph officers were
besieged again yesterday by a crowd OF
striking telegraphers who sought re-
employment. More were reemployed than
was at first supposed would be taken on,
and the strikers were inclined to be hope
full.
1t Is admitted that with the strike end
ed business is bound to improve, necessi-
tating the employment of more operators.
District Superintendent Milford said that
up to date 522 strikers had applied for re-
employment in this city and that 1913 had
been reemployed. Most of the applica-
tons had been made since the strike was
declared off.

FREAK NEWSPAPERS.

A French newspaper writer who has
been looking into the subject OF freak
newspapers thinks that one OF the most
remarkable Of these was the LuminsTia,
published in Madrid. The ink with
which 1t was printed contained a small
percentage of phosphorus, so that the
letters were visibR and the paper could
be read In the dark.
Next after this he finds remarkable
the case of the Regal, printed with an
ink guaranteed nOn-poisonous on thin
sheets of dough After absorbing ali
the information the sheet contained, one
could eat it. thus deriving from it
nourishment for mind and body.
The publisher Of new Partisan
journal, lie Bien Etre, promised to all
subscribers for forty consecutive years
a pension and free burial In spite of
the inducement TIE subscribers were
so few that the paper died in month.
1t was followed shortly by a paper call

In the late hftes OF the last cen
tuTy the Ksnawha Coal and oil Com
pany was organized for the purpose
OF producing oil from the camel coal
found in the mountains divided by
Paint creek, a small stream that puts
into the great Kanawha about twenty
miles above this place. The vein Of
camel coal was a comparatively thin
one. lying in the heart Of a thick
seam OF the bitUminous found in
abundance throughout that section.
The company was busy with its opera
ton when the civil war broke out.
and continued at work for some time
thereafter
The superintendent Of the mine was
blunt old Enghshman named Cor
don. and he had a handsome daughter
named Rowena, who was the delight Of
the fathers heart, and the desDair Of
the young men OF the neighborhood
for miles around, There was the usual
counting and flirting. with the usual
final settling down on one man. ana
the inevitable preparations for the
wedding. The lucky man was one Ad-
kins, a native OF the mountains. a
strapping young fellow who had won
the fathers favor as a workman even
before he won the daughters esteem
as lover. Thus the course of true
love seemed about to run smooth.

This was in the spring OF 1851 In
the autumn OF that year he returned

and daughter. 1t is said that ne, in a
spirit Of revenge, set fire to the drum

OF camel coal inside, and, getting a
good hold, has been burning ever
since. Adkins returned to his regi-
