THE ACE OF WATER.
FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL
WONDER AT OUR WASTE OF
ENERGY.
Communicated

The Daily Telegraph with a solicit
tude for the needs OF future genera
tions, republishes an article calling
attention to the extravaganza waste
OF the natural productions OF the
country. The article estimates that
in a hundred years hence the coal
lands OF the country will be practi-
caMy exhausted. There is another
source OF power that is being rapid
ly developed and has unlimited cap
abilities and is taking the place of
, coal as a power creator. II is wa
ter. The Saturday Evening Post
publishes an article entitled, "The
Age OF Water" giving a graphic and
reliable account OF Harvesting of the
waters of the country and turning
Ii into turbine wheels producing
power at no cost other than for the
plant The writer OF the article
recommends his readers who may
own a coal mine to quietly sell It
and buy mountain brook. He tells
OF the falls OF the Snoqualine river
near Tacoma, Washington, turned
into turbine wheels. II is doing
work. the mere statement takes the
breath and leaves the owner OF larg-
est coal deposits in that section
standing like a pauper in the midst
OF his rapidly decreasing wealth. The
power generated by the falls. move
the trolley line between Seattle and
Tacoma. another between Renton
and Seattle, mills grinding $4,000
bushels of wheat day, great iron
and steel mills, city lighting for Ia
coma and light and power for six
smaller towns, night and day, year
In and year out, indefinitely. for
ever, provided proper precautions
are taken the falls will do this work
at no cost, save that OF the main
tenance OF the plant and machinery
and OF the transmission wires.
1t does seem that the time is fast
approaching when old king coal.
at the cost OF so much labor and loss
of life, must abdicate in favor OF
his clearly decile and never-failing
rivah water

CHRONOLOGY OF
THE THAW TRIALS

Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit
were married In Pittsburg on April
%, 1905.
On June %, 1906, Thaw killed
Stanford White on the Madison
Square roof garden, and on June 2S
he was indicted. In January follow
ing the trial began. Ten days were
required for the jury to return
disagreement.
The trial cost the county of New
York 100000. The cost to the
Thaw family is estimated to have
been 100000. The testimony OF
alienists brought the figure to this
great total.
The entire second trial occupied
but seventeen days, five OF which
were taken up with the selection of
jury. The prosecution had but few
witnesses and made out its case in
four and a half hours.
The defense brought witnesses
from several European centers, from
the Pacific coast of America and
from a number of other cities. The
cost TO the county will hardly ex-
coed $25,OOO, while the cost TO the
Thaw family will be equally as much
as that of the first trial The case
may justly be referred to as the
"million-dollar murder trial"

THEATRICAL NOTES

The gowns worn by Florence Da-
Wis in her presentation of the drama.
"A Question of Husbands" are ar
tistic illustrations Of what can be
done on the dress-making field of
science.
Laugh as the man may at science
and art in gowns and feminine head
gear, those masculine critics are only
too apt and too quick to notice any
imDerfection in what a woman may
wear, especially If that woman would
be good looking If she had not
spoiled those looks by an inaptitude
in decorating them.
Miss Davis not only has good looks
but good taste. She also has the
means wherewith to unite the two
into one effect. In other words. she
uses her own capital TO dress her
self and her company in a manner
befitting the requirements of the
play. She also uses her own means
in stage appointments and other ac-
cessories. These stage properties
are her own and she does not de-
pend in anyway on such plck-ups as
may be obtained along the route of
her engagements.
The costumes. TO use colloauism
are brought down to the date OF ac-
tion on the stage and are thorough
~ representative OF the times at
which the actual scenes are sup
posed to have been enacted.
"A Question OF Husbands" has
met with fattering reception wher-
ever presented and the audience at
the Elks' opera house on the even
ing Of February 9Th, will undoubted-
~ have an opportunity for endors-
ing the favorable opinion extended
In other cities.
Elliott Dexter, that clever young
leading man. is the main support OF
Miss Davis. The company is said 20
be superior one and the scenic pro.
duction very beautiful

VALENTINE
DAY IS NEAR
DATE MEMORABLE To SWEET
HEARTS IL RAPIDLY
APPROACHING.
COMIC AFFAIRS ARE oBSoLETE
Origin of the Observance of Four
tecnth of February.
COMIC AFFARs ARE OBsoLETE

February l4th is Valentine Day.
The announcement is nothing new
or startling. Valentine Day is Feb
ruary 18th every year, and has been
since about the year 900. But Il Is
not too early for merchants to begin
preparing for the event, as they are
now doing.
shipments for this years valen-
tines have arrived I'm Blueheld.
There is an infinite number of them
all kinds, all sizes. all prices
There are pretty ones. very pretty
ones. worth anywhere from 10 cents
up 10 as many dollars. And then
there are the so-callei funny val
entines
Fewer funny" valentines are sold
every year here In Blueheld, accord
ing TO several dealers who handle
such stock When comic valentines
first made their appearance i'm local
markets, they at once sprang into
favor-vulgar favor. Their sale was
astounding. so II is no wonder deal
ers paid so much attention to them
Their prices had to be reduced
through competition. Gradually the
| funny gave way TO the vulgar.
nowadays over one-half OF these al
legged funny valentines are such as
no friend would send to another The
general public liking for them has
! decreased
The custom OF sending valentines
on st. Valentines Day is an ancient
one. Modern valentines billets OF
good will-had their origin away
back I'm the year 800 or so. The
present day valentines are named
after st. Valentine.
st. Valentine was a holy priest i'm
Rome, who, with Marius and his
family assisted the martyrs I'm the
persecution under Cladius H. He
was apprehended and beaten with
clubs because he would not deny his
faith in Jesus Christ. Afterwards he
was beheaded about the year 27O.
Pope Julius | Is said to have built
a church near Ponte Mole to his
memory, which for a long time gave
name to the gate now called Porta
Del Popolo, formerly Porta Valen-
tint. The greater part OF the saint g
relies now are in the church OF
! Praxedes
In st. Valentines time and before
his day there had been a custom
among the heathens of boys draw
ing girls names, in honor of their
goddess, Februata Juno, or Febru-
airy 18Th To abolish this Iewd Gus
tom, Jealous pastors, following up
on the death Of ST. Valentine. sub
stituted the names of saints in billets
given on this day.
The custom OF calling them vaIen-
tines in honor Of ST. Valentine. rap
idly Increased in favor. until now
recognized by this name all over
tho civilized world.

THAT MINERAL EXHIBIT.

Some time ago this paper suggest
ed the wisdom of a state building
for the permanent housing of the
magnificent exhibit OF minerals and
timber that was shown at the James
ftown Exposition. This exhibit was
collected at an expense of 100000,
which was made up by the private
subscriptions of patriotic citizens OF
Virginia, and it should unquestion-
ably be preserved, and utilized for
the benefit of the state.
The Richmond Journal on this
subject says
Senator watkins, Of Chesterfield,
must be voted unstinted commenda-
ton for his bill looking to the cree
tion by the State of Virginia of a
permanent home in Richmond for
the display of the mineral and tim
Der exhibit presented to the State
by the Virginia Mineral and Timber
association, sand he wisely provides
for the Undoubted expansion of this
valuable collection by the suggestion
that in this building there shall be
housed the products collected from
time to time by the agricultural de-
partment. For reasons of economy
and convenience, he also proposes
the occupancy OF a part Of the struc-
ture by the officials now in need OF
room.
The value of the farming, mining
and numbering interests OF the com
monwealth Of a large, growing and
central sation for the permanent ex-
hibitlon to the investing and bust
ness world of these riches I'm which
we so abound needs no stressing. To
state the proposition is to enlist pub
lie sympathy and educe widespread
Tic sympathy and induce widespread
hump on" The world must be forced
to see what we possess. immigration
must be attracted we must step up
to the most advanced lines OF prog
ress. Some people seek: most valu-
able customers are drawn The capt.
tai city Is the most available spot
for concentrating the proofs OF our
overlooking riches
The first cost Of land and con-
struction will constitute the main
= outlay. The expenses Of maintenance
will be trivial and when the double
purposes Of a permanent exhibition
and much-needed office room are at
one and the same time met, the case
for the Commonwealth Is. we think
closed. Erect the house, place there
the valuable nucleus now ready for
exhibition. and the people from ev-
cry section will contribute to its en-
largement."
The legislature will indeed bo
short-sighted to neglect this great
opportunity to secure a permanent
exhibit Of this character.

BRYAN ISSUES AN APP
PEAL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

The following appeal for contribu-
lions has been issued by Mr.. Bryan:
from citizens of the Republic who
favor these Democratic propositions:
"Tariff revision by representatives
of the consumers of the products and
not by the agents of those who make
exorbitant profits by manufacture an
sale Of highly protected products.
Election of United States senator's
by popular vote, thus breaking up the
senatorial oligarchy headed by Stand
ard Oil, which is strong enough to sue
cessfully resist all measures offered
in behalf of he peoples welfare.
Guarantee of all national bank de-
posits, thereby preventing all money
panics by giving all people absolute
confidence in all banks.
Destruction of private monopoly
and the enforcement of law against
trusts by the people who are Cypress
ed by the trusts and not by the agents
OF the trusts.
Publicity of campaign contribu.
lions before election day so hat the
people may know who is paying the
expenses of candidates, and why pay
ing.
Adoption or an income tax because
it is just and under 1t wealth may
bear its proport1onate share of he
burdens Of the federal government
The punishment of men who mani
pulate railroad stocks and ownership;
the encouragement of railroad IN
struction upon business-like basis:
and railroad operation with fair re-
turns in wages and profits to workers
and owners on honest valuation and
honest labor not on Watered
stocks and false bond issues created
purely by exploitation"
The appeal closes with a copy of the
resolution adopted by the Democrat
ic national committee on the occas-'
ion of its visit to Fairview July ii,
declaring for publicity of contribut-
ions before election, limiting individ-
ual contributions to $4,000 and prov
iding for the publication of contribut-
ions above $100.
