It Is estimEArd that New Zealand has something moA0 than 1 900, 900, 900 tons of coal which can be mined. The vast coal deposits of that region have been little more than touched so far, and if the estimate is correct those mines will help some towards staviug of a coal famine.

CONSERVATISM DOMINATES
Volume of Trading Generally Increas-
es and Idle Machinery Is Be-
coming Active.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S Review of Trade
says:
The steady decrease in percentage of
idle machinery and number of idle
freight cars swells the amount of
money distributed among wage-earn-
ers, and gradually increases the vol
ume OF retail trade. AS stocks OF mer-
chandise in the stores of retailers be-
come depleted there is more confidence
regarding the future, and contracts are
made covering deliveries up to the end
of the year, but conservatism still dom
mates the situation, and many plans
will not materialze into anything tan
gible until the election uncertainty is
removed two months hence.
Cotton mills still curtail output, but
other leading manufacturing industries
are gradually increasing output and
the fortnightly statement of idle
freight cars shows a decrease. LiabiIi-
Ties of commercial failures in August
would have compared favorably with
those of the same month last year.

No one, however. knew JaSe's other

OBDURATE D0WAGER
Margarita of Italy Refuses Her Con-
sent to Miss Elkins Wedding

The Milan Unione, of Rome, Italy,
clerical paper, publishes an article
which has been reproduced by the
whole Italian press, to the effect that
the Duke of the Abruzzi will probably
soon go to the United States to make
definite arrangements for his marriage
of Miss Katherine Elkins, the daughter
Of United States Senator Elkins, of
West Virginia, and that it is reported
that the ceremony may take place on
Jan. % the 1uke's birthday. Accord
ing to the Unione the Count of Turin
few days ago visited Dowager Queen
Margarita at GressOney, where she is
spending the summer, and attempted
to overcome her opposition to the mar
riage of his brother. the Duke Of the
Abruzzi and Miss Flkins.
1t had been the intention Of the duke
to have the marriage ceremony take
place in December if the opposition Of
the royal family could be removed. but
during the recent celebration of the sill
yer wedding of the Duke and Duchess
of Genoa. at which all the Savoy
princes were present. opposition on the
part of Queen Margarita appeared
stronger than ever She said however,
that time might bring a change in her
opinion, and after waiting a reasonable
period the Count of Turin sought her
at her country home.
In espousing the cause of his brother
the count declared to the dcwager
queen that the duke was steadfast in
his love for Miss Elkins, and that if
he broke his engagement to her it
would be impossible for him to form
an alliance with any one else. He adj
ded that Miss Elkins possessed all the
qualifications to enter the house OF
Savoy, and that while she was not of
royal blood this was in keeping with
the family tradition. as the late Prince
Anadeo, duke of Aosta. married a lady
of recent nobility who. however, sat on
the throne of Spain for five years The
court added also that as the duke was
how thirty-five years of age it would
not be proper for him to delay mar
riage much longer.
Queen Margarita answered that her
views on the question had not chang
ed, and she refused to give her con-
sent to the marriage. She objected to
such an alliance also because she be-
lieved many of Miss Elkins' compatri
OTIS thought that the Duke of the
Abruzzi had sought marriage with
Miss Elkins when he found that she
would come into a large estate. The
count declared that the duke was ready
queens consent. and left for SpeZia to
inform his bother Of the failure of his
mission.

Foolinq the Beans.

A Yankee of the quaint old time type
was preparing to bestow coat of
whitewash on his henhouse one spring
long ago. He had completed the mix
ing of the whitewash, a writer in the
Manchester Union says, and, looking
round for something on which to try
it, picked up bean poIe and ran the
brush over it. Another ocal character,
who was driving by, stopped his horse
and called out: Hello! What We white
washing your bean poles for?"
Thought everybody knew that beans
grow better on birch poles" returned
the other without pausing in his work.
''Ye don't expect to make birch poles
that way, do YEP"
s'Mebbe not. but whitening of 'em III
make the beans think the poles are
birch anyhow"
