Claim To Burn Culm.
Company Says II Has Found Use for Coal
Waste.

With strike rumors rife, which
would necessarily mean a shortage
in the supply of mined anthracite,
the perfection of plan to use culm
as a substitution as perfected by
the Lehigh Coal & Navigation
Company. is announced. For years
almost every coal company in the
region has been experimenting with
coal briquettes, but it remained for
this company to claim success.
The briquetts manufactured by
this company are about the size
and shape of an egg. They are
composed of almost 90 per cent
coal dirt, and about 10 per cent
coal tar. Just what other ingre-
dients are used in very small
amounts is not announced.
The plant where these briquettes
are manufactured is located at
Hauto, Schuylkill county, and has
capacity of one carload a day, the
output being shipped to Philadel-
phia. If these briquettes can be
manufactured at low cost it will
mean that the culm. which for
years has been thrown on the banks
as useless, will become a valuable
| asset.

and high water of the winter have

The April Lippincott's.

Spring has officially arrived. and
all the earth is athrob with new
life and renewed vigor. Even in
reading matter the demand is now
for something stirring, lively, with
plenty of action in it. These re-
quirements are admirably fulfilled
by the AprH LtRbineoHs. Its most
important feature is perhaps the
complete novel, "The Clue" by
Carolyn Wells. This is a detective
story, and no better one has ap-
peared in long time. The plot is
based on the murder of young
heiress on the eve of her wedding
day, and the subsequent efforts to
apprshend the guilty party. Var
ious persons are suspected in turn,
but not until the services of the
detective. Fleming Stone, are en-
listed is the mystery solved. Flem-
ing Stone, by the way, figured
prominently in previous detective
story by this author-"A Chain of
Evidence" also published in Lip
pine0kfS Magazine. 1t is not too
much to say that Miss Wells has
never written anything better than
"The Clue" The plot is markedly
ingenious, the denouement unex-
pected, the characters ably drawn.
and the whole tale brimful of ac-
ton, keeping the readers interest
keyed up to the highest pitch. Yet
while it is strongly dramatic
throughout, the tale is not charac-
terized by unrelieved gloom, a
charming love story and many
touches of humor serving to enliven
lit.
Among the short stories, Angus
ia Kortrecht's The Little Fat

being both novel and humorous

AMERICAS FIRST NEGRO BISHOP.

About four years ago there died in South Amer
lea the Ri Rev. Silveria Gomez Pimentar, Bishop
of Mariana, Brazil. He had the distinction of be-
ing the first bishop of the coored race in the New
World.
He was the son of slave parents. Born in
IRENE poverty, he knew what it was to be desti-
tute and hungry. When a child he attended school
half-naked and barefooted but he from the
first remarkable for his application and his good
conduct He was III fact, so excellent d schoolboy
that his case came to the attention of the Arch
bishop of Baua, who took liking to the excep-
tiona Young negro and placed him, after some time,
in the seminary of his See city. Here Pimentar,
now Young man. pursued his studies for the priest
hood
conal digntary as Auxiliary Bishop to the diocese
of Ralua. In this office, he still won favor, and
whom in 1902 the late Pope Leo XIII restored the
diocese of Mariana. Amazon, whose population was
two millions he designated its prelate the Negro
Rishop This new Office was by no means slnecure.
For Years the Bishops territory had been more or

CONVERSION OF FLOYD FAMILY.

Writing to the Southern Messenger. Rev. P. F.
Brennan, missionary well known in the south. re-
lates unusual manner of conversion He says the
incident was related to him by r. n French law
yer of Douglas Ariz. In letter to the mission
airy, the story is related:
According to promises [ here give you the ac-
count of the conversion of the Floyd family of Vr-
glnia to Catholicism. give it just as it was given
me by the Hon. John FL. Fulton of Wytheville, Va
Judge Fulton and l had been discussing the doe
trines of the Catholic Church and had retired to
my room, and Judge Fulton, who occupied a room
opposite mine at the Gloseclose hotel at Marion
Va, called me across to his room and asked me if
knew how the Floyd family became Catholics.
told him that | did not, and he replied that it
was because Tom Randolph had pulled President
Jackson's nose. He said that Jackson promised the
elder John Floyd that if he elected to the pres
dency, he (Jackson) would make Floyd secretary
of state. Tom Randolph, who was a great admirer
and friend of Floyd, who was the governor of Vir-
ginia, on his way to Washington to be married to
a Catholic lady, informed by Jackson, who had
been elected president that he had changed his
mind in regard to the appointment of Floyd and
would not appoint him member of his cabinet.
Randolph became enraged and seized Jackson's
nose and pulled it, for which offense he was ar
rested upon his arrival at Washington and his we'd
ding was necessarily postponed. Governor Floyd
read an account of the difficulty and invited Ran
dolphs fance to spend the interval with his daugh-
tiers at the capital at Richmond Va. She accepted
the invitation and converted Governor Floyd and
his entire family to the doctrines of the Catholic
Church.
And Father Brennan adds:
"Tom Randolph little dreamed that he was in the
Catholic missionary field when he pulled the nasal
appendage of the president of the United States.
While Jacksons nose was not made for that purpose
it is certain that it was never engaged in more
meritorious calling even if he never became a
Catholic himself,
at is safe to say that no one knows of any meth
cd so unique as this i bringing converts to the
Catholic Church"

The Last Medicine Man.

From the Indians Friend.
 Hut-cho-nu-pah, last of the medicine men, died last month in the Snake Hills of the Creek nation. He was 95 years old. For half a century he had been one of the most turbulent spirits in Oklahoma.
 Hut-cho o-nu pah led the last rebellion of the Creeks in 1890. His faction was sub dued by the Creeks themselves before the United States troops got there. In bat tie Hut-cho-nu-pah' band was annihilated and he was condemned to death.
 But so great was the awe in which the old medicine man was held that no one could be found to be his executoner. With his adherents dead and himself im- prsoned, his influence was so potent that he compelled the election of a friend as chief and was pardoned.
 Tho medicine man fought for the north ern forces during the civil war. He all ways asserted that he was under the spe- cial protection of the Supreme Being.
