furious to Property Holders
RIGHTS

According to the following. which
appeared in recent EXCHANGE. the
coal companies of Western Pennsvl-
vania have decided that the saloons
in the bituminious districts must
close.
The great coal companies OF West
ern Pennsylvania some time ago an
nounced that they intended to crush
out the saloons in the bituminous
districts under their control.
There are four of the largest coal
companies engaged in the movement.
Their mining property covers sew
eral counties and they give employ
ment to fifty thousand men. They
have already begun operations by
filing rem onstrance against the
granting of a Wholesale. liquor Ii
cense, and in their statements to the
court they say:
Such license injuriously affects
the rights Of the property holders
in that borough, and does irrepara-
bic damage to the coal companies in
that when the miners receive their
pay the hauling of large quantities
of intoxicants from house to house
by wholesale liquor dealers causes
the miners to become drunken and
remain idle for long periods Of
time
All that is here said in relation to
the injurious influence of liquor SELL
ing upon mining industries is true
OF every other legitimate business
activity. Anywhere and everywhere
that the liquor selling saloon exists
ii preys like parasite upon every
phase of business prosperity. Every
dollar spent in the saloon is divert
ed from the channels of legitimate
trade and tends to produce idleness
and vagrancy,. which are hindrances
to every feature of business activity
and are, and bring, measureless bur-
dens upon the people.

says: mot a doubt exists but that
the action of the companies will
make thorough prohibition dis

Kentucky MaSons Against Whisky.


The large whisky membership in
the Masonic order of Kentucky feels
keenly the action of the Grand
Lodge in excluding them from mem
bership in the lodge. While it does
not affect those already in the lodge
the ruling prevents others from he
ing taken in, and it is feared that at
the expiration of year, when the
constitutional amendment is voted
on, the action of the last Grand
Lodge will be made a fundamental
principle of the organization in that
State. The Masonic Lodge of Ken
lucky holds in its membership whis-

eral Midas Criterion.

The bureau of forestry at WASH
| ington calls attention to the plan Of
a lumber company operating in Som
ora and Chihuahua, Mexico, which
sets an example worthy of emula-
ton by other large corporations
that a re denuding forest lands.
1t states that this company is cut
ting timber from holdings which ag-
gregate 1884, 900 acres. AS rapidly
as the trees are felled the tops are
made into fuel and the slashings are
burned; and then, when the infiam
mable material is disposed of the
denuded area is replanted with trees
of the same species as those cut. |
is figured that by this process the
company will always have Il crop
coming, and, instead OF SHINING the
land for all time and abandoning
it to fire and erosion, will insure GER
tain profit for the future. This wise
handling Of timber lands is cited as
an example OF the highest import
ance, as it reveals an appreciation
OF the necessity OF conserving the
timber supply and making provis-
ion for the future wherever lands are
denuded.
The forest service h q s supple
mented the citation OF beneficent
numbering methods in Mexico with a
statement that tree planters in the
northern part of the middle west
have been exceedingly successful in
the cultivation Of the Norway pop
lar, which is spoken OF as near rel
ative OF the common cottonwood,
possessing qualities that will cause
a revision Of the popular estimate OF
the entire cottonwood group. This
tree grows straight and lean, with
bark that never scalds or cracks
It's wood is straight-grained and
suitable for lumber. 1t splits easily,
seasons quickly, and makes excel
lent fuel In Minnesota the Norway
poplar has been known to grow
eighty feet high and attain diam
eter of seventeen inches in fourteen
years. The development is remark
able for so short time.
The building material of the future
is to be largely steel and concrete,
but there will always be an active
demand for lumber for interior finish,
and for furniture. Therefore scien-
tific forestry of the kind established
by the numbering company in Next
co will doubtless be profitable. ii
areas can be reforested with trees
like the Norway poplar which furn-
ish crops in periods OF little more
than a decade, it will pay agriculture
lists to maintain timber patches"
OF considerable area that can be cut
and replanted as the timber develops.

PAST MASTER OF HOPPING,
Unique Character Well Known in CITY
Of Philadelphia.

S"d1e SHai dCtef wei known IN City
Of Philadelphia.
A stranger in the city who had occa-
sion recently to pass along Lombard
street, near Seventh street, was pass
ed by man hopping along on one leg
and his curiosity was aroused. Upon
questioning storekeeper in the neigh
borhood he learned that he had just
seen one of the unique characters of
Philadelphia, Tom Scott.
Tom Scott, or Hop" as he is famil-
1arly known to many of his associates,
is negro. He is forty-five years OF
age and for thirty weight years has been
a familiar figure on Lombard and
South streets as he hoped on one leg
from place to place. When a little
child Scott was the victim of an acct
dent which caused his left leg 0
W1ther and become helpless. He had
no crutch, but his boyish spirits drew
him to the playground and he got
about fairly well on his one good leg.
When afterWard he was offered a
frutch he had become so expert in
hopping and was able to get about so
rapidly by his unusual method of loco.
motion that he threw away the offered
crutch in scOrn. Not in all these years
since has he changed his mind, but
continues to bob away, up and down
the streets, resting every half square
and outstripping the fastest pedestrian
with two good legs.
Scott lived for many years in Lom-
bard row, near Seventh and Lombard
streets, but recently moved to place
near Broad and Lombard streets. He Is
supported by sister and makes no
pretense at employment any more
strenuous than holding down store
boxes. He is probably the only man
in the world who has hoped for thir.
ty-eignt years.
"Me use a crutch?" said Tom to
curious inquisitor. Not on yer life!
can get around faster dis way. | reck-
on some of desc heah brewers ought to
pension me for my services in produo-
in hops. "-Philadelphia Ledger.
