THE NEW POSTAL REGUL ALTON
AND ITS EFFECT.

An esteemed subscriber re-
marked to US the other day, in
the presence of several others,
that the editor OF this paper is
being "bIamed" for the new re-
gulation of the pos.ollice de-
partmen' depriving publishers
OF The privlIegeo sending through
the mails as second-class matter
papers 90 subscribers in arrears.
OF course the idea is absurd. We
had about a much to do with
the origin OF The postal regula-
ton referred TO as with the pro-
mitigation of the Ten Command.
ments. Really, we are not as
yet convinced OF the justice of
the departments action. II a
publisher chooses 10 send out his
papers on a credit, even though
1t baukrupts him, we do not see
why the government should OBJ
Ject so long rs he pays reasonable
postage for the transmission of
his issues through the mails.
But it is a waste of time now to
discuss the wisdom or unwisdorn
of the new rule or regulation.
Being the law, it must be OBJ.
served whether we Ike it or not.
In the end it may prove best for
both publishers and their patrons.
1t will force the former 10 prac.

plan, and when subscribers be.
come accustomed to it, they will
no doubt like it better than the
old way of letting their su bscrip-
tions "run over" from year to
yeal until they are called upon
to pay : good-sized bill.
SO far as I,,he News is concern

THEATRICAL NOTES

One of the emphatic hits of last
seasons New York success was Louis
Evan Shipman's military romance of
the south, "On Parole" which her
managers have secured for their
talented young star. Miss Mary
Emerson, who will appear at the
Elks' theatre on Thursday night,
Jan. 80. Miss Emerson has long
been identified with costume plays.
having been seen here In recent
years in "Hls Majesty and the Maid"
and "Will o the Wisp." In "On
Parole" she will have a part exact
ly suited to her style and temper
ment, namely that OF Constance
Pinkney," spirited young southern
girl whose father and brother are
officers In General Lees army. In
this part Miss Emerson will have an
opportunity to display her remark
able talents to their utmost. The
climaxes being as thrilling as any
ever devised II is in the tense
scenes that Miss Emerson is seen at
her best for she possesses TO
marked degree the power OF show
Ing depressed emotion without
tearing passion TO tatters." In the
love scenes, too, she excels, trans
hitting to them that semblance OF
reality without which they frequent

play, in brief. concerss the efforts
OF the heroine to assist her father
and brother by carrying dispatches
from one branch OF the Confederate
army TO the other. She is surprised
In this dangerous work by young
Major Dale OF the Union forces who
places her on parole. Love between
the two young people ensues but by
an unfortunate accident the major
is captured by the Confederates and
everything points TO his betrayal by
the girl he adores. she. however. be-
Ing guiltless OF the deed. Many
complications arise eliminating with

third act. The fourth act straight

Few are aware of the vast re-
sources OF West Virginia. Even
West Virginians are astoundei when
reminded OF the natural wealth Of
their state. In a recent letter from
President Decaunter AXtell. of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, he calls
attention to the fact that there are
over billion tons of coal in the
small district of Little Coal River
alone. which, at the present rate OF
tonnage, would require the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railway hundred
years to remove. This is but a small
area-2S2 square miles. not quite
II miles square-or less than the
smallest county in the state. When
1t is considered that this represents
only an infntesimal part OF the coal
lands of the State, the mind then
can only begin to realize the immen-
sity of the quantity of coal in West
Virginia.
Bluefeld is the distributing point
OF the great Pocahontas coal fields
one OF the finest coal mining dis
tricts in the world It's supply is
hardly touched as yet.
The entire State is rich in min
eral. We recently heard remark
that there was more natural wealth
to the square foot in West Virginia
than any state in the Union. and one
only needs to study the situation to
be convinced of this fact.
The country is Just beginning to
realize something of our vast re-
sources. No state IN the Union has
a brighter future.
