COAL TRADE REVIEW.
CONDITIONS CT BUSINESS AS
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-The Black Dia.
mond, official organ of the coal indus.
try, today says; a.
Domestic coal market conditions
are still far from satisfactory, owing,
In the main, to Inc unreasonable
weather for this time of he year.
This constitutes only about forty per
cent of the business. The steam trade
which takes up the other sixty per
cent, Is far below normal as a result
of business conditions. The approach
of the election has had a disquieting
tendency, although this is the first
time that politics has mas had any in.
luence whatever.
All efforts to control the steam
situation have been unavailing, the
prices are governed by conditions in
the territory in which they are produc,
ed. For instance, smokeless slack can
hardly be sold to the cokiDg interests
and is produced in meager quantities
only. Gas slack is down about as low
as it has been at any time in five
years. In those mining sections which
move three-fourths of the coal to the
lake, slack is getting stronger be-
cause the lake season is about, over.
Indiana and Illinois screenings are
in over-supply because the lump de-
mand has been very active and the de.
mand for steam coal not commensur.
ately large.
1nnnnSfin OF &c 4
tive. Admittedly consumers have not
stocked up this year to the extent they
have in former years. The situation
of the dealer is still in doubt and
while it is supposed that they have
not the usual amount in stock, the
movement from the mines would in
dictate that they may be fairly well
supplied. However, any sudden de.
mand from the consumers would re-
duce stocks in dealers hands very
quickly and cause the latter to take
more coal from the Wholesale inter
ests
With the market in this delicate po-
sition the transportation situation is,
Of course, considered a factor. In in
dividual districts and on individual
railroads the car supply is not all that
could be desired. Whether this aris-
es from an absolute shortage of cars
or whether it arises from the fact that
the railroads have not kept up the
efficiency of their equipment is imma-
terial. The fact remains that the rail
roads are not in a position to take
care of any sudden squirt in demand.
and some distress might very easily
occur in case the market were sudden
ly thrown into position where good
deal of coal would have to be shipped
to the consumers on short, notice.

MORSE SpARS ON STAND
FINANclER IN WITNESS CHAIR
FOR SIX HOURS.
Loan Of $125,ooo Without Sufficient
Security Is Alleged by At
torney Stimson.

New York, Oct. 31.-For more than
six hours Friday Charles W. Morse,
who year ago was one of the domi-
Liant figures in Wall street, sat in the
witness chair in the criminal branch
of the United States circuit court en-
deavoring to defend the financial
operations in connection with the Ma
tional Bank of North America, which
resulted in the indictment of Mr..
Morse and Alfred H. Curtis, on
charges of conspiracy and violation
of the national banking laws.
All went smoothly during the morn
ing session when the lawyers for the
defense asked questions of Mr.. Morse,
but late in the day, when United
States Attorney Stimson took up the
cross-examination for the government,
sharp, accusing questions were put to
the financier.
Mr.. Morse on the defensive was at
his best. Several times he refused to
answer questions unless he were per-
mitted to explain himtself at length.
He spared cleverly with Mr.. Stimson
and a number OF times, rather than
insist upon an answer to a question
with an explanation accompanying it.,
Mr.. SCimson withdrew the question.
Mr.. Stimson sprang somewhat of a
surprise on Mr.. Morse when he took
up the loan of more thaa $125,OO0
made 10 Miss Katherine A. Wilson,
Mr.. NOrse's secretary. The f1nancier
had testified that the loan had been
made in his behalf and that the Leslie
Whiting loans were also his. Then,
with Mr.. Morse still m the witness
chair, Mr.. Stimson read letter ad-
dressed to the comptroller OF the cur
rency, w. B. Ridgely, and signed BY
Mr.. Morse and other directors of the
New Amsterdam bank, saying that
Mr.. Morse was not directly interested
In the loan.
Mr.. Stlmson asked Mr. Morse again
IL he had understood that the Wilson
loan was made in his behalf and Mr..
Morse replied that the loan was his.
Mr.. Stimson then read another letter,
this one being from Comptroller
Ridgely to the president of the New
Amsterdam bank. It called attention
to the executive loans made by the
bank and especially mentioned the
one to Miss Wilson saying that the
430 shares OF National Bank Of Amer.
lea stock put up to secure the loan
was not sufficient collateral.

Prominent Republican.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 2.-Delos
A. Blodgett, for 60 years closely iden-
titled with the lumber industry of the
country, died at his home here, in his
eighty-fourth year.
He was born in Otsego county, New
York, in 1925. In 1S47 he began work
in an Upper Michigan sawmill, finally
becoming one of the heaviest timber
operators of the state. In 1885 he be-
gan buying southern timber land and
was one of the first northern men to
make such investments. He and his
associates are among the largest hold
ers of southern pine to-day. ....
He founded the villages of Hersey,
Evart and Baldwin, Mich, and was
| one of, the first to demonstrate the
value Of northern Michigan land for
agricultural purposes. He was always
Republican and was delegate-at-
large to the national conventions of
1892 and 1900, and several times dis
trict delegate. He was married in 1858

riage were born John W. Blodgett,

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned from Pull
pit and Sanctuary.
Christian Church.

There was large audience at both
the morning and evening services.
The morning sermon was along the
lie of the great superiority of person
al work in winning people TO Christ.
His life teaching as revealed to US
in the New Testament is the strong
est argument that can be given for
its effectiveness and benefcence.
The evening address was of unusual
intrest, being on the all absorbing
topic just now before the American
people. The principles that shall rule
in this nation. Rev. S. H. Zendt, the
pastor, did not refer TO or criticise
any political party. His attempt was
to show that God rules in the affairs
of men and he brought forward
abundance of sacred and profane his
tory to make that fact clear. He said
in. part: There has been more sane
and independent thinking in political
affairs this year than ever before in
our history. The people in all parties
have not been making a very loud
noise, but they are reckoning the va
rious questions over so quietly that
the politicians are wholly unable to
tell what may happen. The Supreme
issue today is, shall God rule in this
land? l believe we will never be
right until. we go to the Bible to find
what it teaches on governmental af,
fairs. Daniel told Kink Nebuchadnez.
Ear. that the Most High ruled in the
kingdom of men, and because the
king refused to listen he was turned
out to grass for seven years. This
should befall men of our present day
politicians, notably }. G. Cannon, OF
Illinois. J. J. Ingles once told the
people of Kansas that the golden
rule had no place in political affairs
and they retired, him for good. Moral
issues are of far more moment than
material things. Woe to him that
buildeth a town with blood The ma
ton that sows blood snail reap blood.
AS q nation we are in league with the
liquor traffic and sooner or later must
settle the penalty. Every lash laid
on the back of the Southern slave
cost us the precious life of one of our
young men. The party which fears
to handle new issues is doomed.
Workingmen deserve more tan full
dinner pail. We will always be in
peril when a few capitalists can pre-
cipitate a panic. That condition. of
things should be promptly remedied.
Better is little, with righteousness
than great revenues obtained by fraud.
The only, safe road to prosperity is
to be right. The wicked shall, be
hurried into hell and all nations who
forget God" .....-......
., The address throughout was mas
terful and listened, to with profound
attention. On next Lords lay the pro
tracted meeting begins, with R. w
Abberley, of Rusnville, Ind. as leader
and Leroy st. John as soloist. they
are a team of strong men, with the
one idea of winning souls to the cause
of Christ. ..g,.-.f

SOCIETY LEADER
| DIES IN GOTHAM
MRS. WILLIAM AsToR PASSES
T, AWAY AT HER HOME.
LONG A SOCIAL LIGHT
New York Woman Who Was Known
az First Among American Aristo-
Gratis Taken by Death
Heart Trouble Cause.

New York, Oct. 31--Mrs. William
Astor, who for 80 years had been re
garded as the social leader of New
York, died Friday night of heart dis
ease at her home on Fifth avenue.
For nearly four weeks Mrs. Astor
VINO was 50 years old, had been in
critical condition owing to the return
OF heart affection that had given her
trouble for years.
There is not name in the social
register that is so well known from
one end of the land to the other as
that Of Mrs. Aston. Despite her ad
vancing years, Mrs. Astor continued
to hold her social domination up to a
year ago, when failing health com
PEELED her to retire into comparative
seclusion.
T. In ~ Health a Year.
1t was in the summer of 1907 that
Mrs. Astor's friends learned of her i'll
health. While she was abroad last
year her son, Col John, Jacob Aston
made the announcement that Beech
"SOu, IiC lOlh5 VI abtOI
at Newport, would not be opened and
this led to the discovery that Mrs
Aston was in poor health. Word came
later from Mrs. Astor, while she was
in Paris, saying that she would ope
her Newport villa and that she would
make the season there one of the gay,
est in years. -. ~ ''' s..
This promise was not fulfilled, how,
ever, for when Mrs. Astor returned
from abroad she broke down in Boston
and had to return to New York. She
had remained at her home ever since.
Established Famous 1900"
The society functions given and pre-
sided over by Mrs. Astor have gone
down into history as the most brilliant
on record. 1t Is said that the ballroom
in the mansion on Fifth avenue would
accommodate 1000 people. 1t was
Mrs. Astor who established the famous
400" her visiting list being confined
to that number of names. In 1905,
however, Mrs. Astor was said to have
''let down the bars" when she invited
1000 persons to one of the most mem
orable social events ever given in New
1 York Mrs. Astor received her guests
at these. gatherings seated in high,
backed chair beneath a portrait of
herself, painted by Carolus Duran.
Noted for Aston Jewels.
The Astor jewels were worn by Mrs.
Aston on these occasions. 1t is said
the Aston emeralds are the finest in
the world. .,t., ..,
William Astor, who died in Paris in
1892, took little part in the social &C
tivities his wife enjoyed. Mrs. Aston,
before marriage, was Miss Caroline
Schermerhorn, a daughter of Abraham
Schermerhorn. well-to-do merchant.
She was married to William Aston on
September 2S, 1858. John Jacob Astor
was their only son. There were four
daughters, two of them, Mrs. Ogilvie
Haig and Mrs. Orme Wilson, are now
living. The eldest daughter, Miss
Emily Aston, who married J. J. Van
Allen, died some years ago, as did Miss
Helen Aston, who married James
Roosevelt-R Roosevelt.
