WORLDS COAL OUTPUT.

According to figures furnished by the
Antwerp bureau of commerce, the
United States takes first place as a coal
producing country. The worlds total
output for 1895, the last year for which
definite results have been obtainable,
was S93,249,55 tons, as against S44 1874
217 tons in 1905. In 1896 the total was
546,742,2o7 tons. in 1886 1t was SOS, 2O7. $50
tons. in 1870 it was 2O3, S21 ,112 tons, and
in 1850 only S9sS1, 1851 tons, figures which
show the wonderful expansion OF the
industries of the world
The total output of the United States
in 1906 was 375. 1897, 900, or more than ~
per cent of the total. Great Britain
comes next with a record of PSI. o5O. 900
tons, over 2S per cent of the total, and
Germany third. with 136, 4sO. 900 tons.
about IS per cent of the total, France
makes poor fourth, with 34,S1S, 900
tons.
Japan and Canada, though as yet far
behind the output of the four countries
quoted, show great expansion in output
during recent years. Japan having in
creased her production from 1,243, 900
tons in 1905 to Il, 500 600 tons in 1906,
while the Canadian production has in
creased five times during the last TWEEN
ty years, the output for 1906 being o.
9l6, 900 tons.
Undoubtedly there are extensive coal
fields yet to be discovered, but if the
rate of consumption continues 10 in
crease as civilization progresses. it is
easy TO see that one of the great prob
lens of a century or two hence will be
the mining of sufficient coal to keep the
wheels of commerce revolving.

NEW sME-TER PROBABLE.

The advent of John D. Ryan. Thomas
F. Cole and others associated with them
into the smeIter field of Utah. viii be
hailed with great satisfaction by the
mining interests affected and by bust
ness men and other citizens as well. 1t
is now generally conceded that the land
options held by the Utah Consolidated
have been taken over and that a new
srelter, which will cost several million
dollars, will be erected-one of the larg-
est and best equipped in the world. This
was the news flashed TO The Herald
from Boston Friday night.
But little Information of a definite
character as to the plans of the syndi-
cate can be learned in Salt Lake, but
Messrs Ryan and Cole are scheduled to
arrive IN the course of a few days and
ground is expected TO be broken very
shortly thereafter.
John d. Ryan is president OF the
Amalgamated Copper company, and as
such has had wide experience in the
smelling of ores. His investment in
Irtah augurs well for the future of the
copper mining industry in this state,
and assures the miners that there will
hereafter be strong competition for the
handling of custom ores.

ENTIRELY TOO RADICAL.

In a recent address before the Hyde
Park Women's Ethical club. Dr. Nc
Elroy Of Washington asserted that
vice is a benefit TO society 1t aids
nature by sweeping out her overcrowd-
ed workshop. Kidding her laboratory OF
misfits. defects and other worthless
creatures"
Rather a cold-bloOded assertion, and
somewhat at variance with our nations
Of reseuing the perishing, but the doc
tor proceeds to say: Men and women
addicted TO drink, drugs and other cor
ruptiYe practices are benelting human
ity by their self-destruction. These hu-
man perverts, by their moral suicide,
leave the world to those capable of self
restraint and similar virtues"
Still we fail TO see where vice is a
benefit, even though it be a fact that
the unfortunates who are ensnared
perish. The doctor has no doubts, how
ever. for he concludes that IF the world
were to suddenly quit manufacturing,
importing and selling intoxicants. be-
lieve that the defective and delinquent
classes would invent some other means
Of self-destruction"
If the ideas of this good and great
man were to be carried out. it would
put stop to the crusade against the
social evil and throw cold water upon
the anti-saloon movement and all the
other efforts in the direction of the up
lift of the human race. Moreover, such
radical assertions as above quoted are
calculated to cast doubt upon the sin
cerity of the man uttering them.

FAMOUS POLITICAL KILLING
Cassius NJ. Clay Was in Fifty
CIashes-Fights in Congress.
lkansas City Starl

NANoAAofo NANN
There hav been many shootings and
killings in the history of American
politics While in none of the political
quarrels have the circumstances been
exactly the same as in yesterdays
tragedy, it serves to recall former en-
counters.
The greatest American duelist was
General Cassius NJ. Clay of Kentucky.
Born in the south of slaveholding par
ents, he was sent to Yale college,
where he became an abolitionist He
returned to Kentucky to practice law
and fight slavery Not less than fifty
attempts We're made to kill him, and a
dozen of these We're almost successful
One of his most talked of encounters
was at Russell's Cave, seven or eight
miles from Lexington. Clay was max
ing speeches in the interest of Garrett
Davis of Bourbon county. who was op-
posed by Robert Wickliffe. later Amer
lean minister to Italy. Their canvass
two years before had resulted in a
duel. Shots were exchanged and Clay's
coat was short one button. Wickliffe
was untouched Clay was considerably
piqued at this. for the distance was a
short thirty feet.
Two years later Wickliffe was again
campaigning against Davis. 1t was his
custom TO read certain printed charges
against Davis upon which he based his
speeches. It was the practice of Mr..
Clay to be present at all of Wickliffe's
meetings. deny the charges and sit
down. The Wickliffe contingent had
grown tired of these regular interrupt
tons and undertook to permanently
quiet Davis. Sam Brown, deputy in
ternal revenue collector under Charles
Wickliffe, a celebrated knife fighter
and dead sure shot. was selected to do
the quieting At the RusSeils Cave
meeting, when General Clay remarked
politely. but decidedly. THAT state
ment is incorrect. Mr.. Wickliffe,"
Brown broke I'm with the proposition,
You are a liar" and at the same time
smote Mr.. Clay upon his aristocratic
head with an umbrella Clay reached
for his bowie knife, which he preferred
at short range to a pistol, as it would
neither scatter nor kick. Brown drew
his gun and held his fire for Clay's adj
vance. He placed his left hand over
his heart and made a jump for his
enemy 1t is only a thoughtful. cool
person who can act as General Clay
did in that affair. The knife came
down and the pistol exploded. Browns
skull was cut to the brain: before he
struck the floor he had been cut six
times more. All this happened so sud-
denly that Browns friends had no
time to come to his rescue: they rallied
in time to save his life. Setting him
before he could be disfnembered, they
threw him over stone wall.
CLAW did not escape unscathed- The
ball from Browns pistol went through
his left arm. and so heavy was the
charge that the bullet would have
reached the abolitionist's heart if it
had not been for the scabbard of his
bowie knife In drawing his weapon,
which he carried inside HIS waistcoat.
Clay had pulled the sheath half way
with it, The scabbard was lined with
steel and stopped the lead. Brown, al

PRESIDENT ELIOT RETIRES.
For Forty Years as President of the
University He Has Been the Most
Distinguished Educator in
Aroa
America.

Cambridge Mass-Charles w. Eliot
president of Harvard university, the
founder of the modern college curricu-
lum and the foremost educator in the
United States, announced his resigna-
ton today after nearly forty years
service at the head of the university.
While DR. Eliot is "A years old. he
has been in vigorous health, and his
resignation comes as surprise. few
years ago there was talk of a move
ment to have President Roosevelt, who
is a Harvard alumnrs, succeed DR..
Eliot as president, but the idea has not
been pushed recently.
Up to forty years ago the president
of Harvard college had commonly been
a superannuated clergyman. The college
did violence to it's traditions and
the presidency at that time Mr.. Eliot,
then a youngster of So, a laynnan and
a man of science.
Charles Eliot had entered Harvard at
10. The next year-1s54-he became tu-
tor of mathematics in the college and
continued in that position four years.
From 1853 to 1853 he was assistant pro-
lessor of mathematic and chemistry
in the Lawrence scientific school. Har-
ward. During 1S63-5 ne was In Europe
studying chemistry and investigating
pean schools. From 1865 to 1859, when
he was called TO Harvard as president,
he was professor of analytical chenis-
try in the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. 1t was while busy teach
ing chemistry-and busy. also, with
speculations as to how the new scien-
tific thought was to modify and trans
form, perchance, educational ideals and
methods-that Professor Eliot found
himself, IN 1868. compelled. as an alum
nus. to face the problem of the future
of Harvard. The Rev. Thomas Hill. D.
D., the president, had resigned
A Possible Mill Manager.
The governing corporation decided on
the rash and hazardous step OF making
Eliot his successor because of three
considerations:
In the first place ne had been sue
cessful teacher at Harvard and the
Boston Institute of Technology for
dozen years.
Secondly. he had printed two revolu-
tionary articles in the Atlantic Month
ly on ''The New Education"
Finally, in settling his fathers estate
he had shown such business capacity
that he had been offered the manage
ment of a Lowell cotton mill at sal
airy of $S5.000 a year-twice what any
educational position in America then
paid.
The friends of the innovation didn't
win without fight. Decision OF the
matter rested in the first instance,
with the corporation-six- men. all ad-
vanced in years. and therefore inclined
TO be conservative Two OF them
brought the others TO their way Of
thinking. But the board of overseers
