Americans demand the best. You can get it at Wild

bonus, reducing the cost of your ground to
one-third of its real value.

land has brought eighteen times as much as
the founders got for it.

of the founders in making Wildwood.

SMOKE QUESTION
FOR SOLUTION
Central Plants for Light, Heat
and Power One of the
Things Urged

Cincinnati, Nov. 1.-THE Econo-
mic Aspects of the Smoke Nuisance"
was the subject of an address before
the convention of the American Civic
association, by Herbert M. Wilson,
chief engineer in the United States
geological survey.
In more detail, he said:
"The smoke nuisance is one of the
greatest dangers of modern times, in
sidiously attacking the health of the
individual, lowering his vitality, in
creasfng the death rate, and causing
untold loss and injury to property.
The damage which this evil inf1icts
can hardly be estimated in money; it
is equally impossible to estimate the
amount Of suffering, disease and
death and the general effect of low
cred vitality caused by this nuisance.
I'm our great and middle-sized
cities, live more than thirty million
people, and these suffer all the loss
shown in the total of $500,0OO, 900.
This means per capita loss of ST
each year to every man, woman and
child in these cities. This sum is so
vast that it fails of comprehension.
1t would build nearly a Panama Canal
and a half every year. But more
startling still. considered as an annual
per capita tax. the losses incurred
by the Inhabitants of American cities
equals the total taxes they pay on
their real and personal property, and
it is equal to one-third the total cor
porate debt Of all American cities.
these figures are SO astounding as
to be almost unbelievable, and It is
but fair to tell on what this estimate
was based. A short time ago, smoke
officials of Chicago, after careful in
quiry. reported that that city lost $780,
100000 each year through smoke.
Cleveland, Ohio, conducted similar
inquiry among its merchants, and
placed the smoke damage at $4,000,-
900. ST. Louis, Missouri, in estimating
the damage of merchandise alone gave
it at $r.O00,000. The city of Harris
burg. Pa, showed 100000 loss ror
the year.
"Our present method of burning
coal with smoke is costing the people
of this country unnecessarily 100000
900. 1t is estimated that 8 per cent
Of the coal used in the production of
power, light and heat, or in all about
twenty millions tons of coal, are 60
ing up the chimney each year in
smoke. This coal costs the people at
least $40.000,000.Y It ,is further esti-
mated that in the production of coke
twenty million tons Of coal are wasted
In the air. This coal is worth $780,
00G. 900. ~
while this total loss Of. 100000, 900

GOVERNMENT SILENT
Man Who Peached in Sugar Frauds
Wants Half Of Money.

Washington. Nov. 17.-No official
notice will be taken by the treasury
department at least for the present,
of the controversy which has arisen
between former Assistant Secretary
James B. Reynolds, now chairman Of
the tariff board, and Richard Parr, a
deputy surveyor attached to the New
York customs house.
The meat of the controversy ap-
pears to be the desire of Mr.. Parr to
obtain a moiety of the fine imposed
upon the sugar trust for the alleged
frauds in the Introduction of sugar
into this country. 1t developed today
at the treasury department that Mr..
Parr last spring presented to the
department statement of these al
legged frauds in which he laid claim
to such an amount as the treasury
might allow him for the discovery of
the frauds. The claim was to be paid
out of the fine imposed upon the sugar
trust. which amounted to about $2,-
100000. The department has taken
no action on that claim. Secretary
MacVeagh was not prepared to say
today what action might be taken.

ROYAL QUARREL
Goodness Between Edward and Duke
Of COnnaught.

London, Nov. 17-There is a dis.
tinct coolness, not to say quarrel. be-
tween King Edward and the Duke Of
Connaught. and it is said that the
latters intention of shortly going to
East Africa in pursuit of big game.
SO popularized by Mr. Roosevelt. is
directly due to the means which his
majesty has taken to mark his dis
pleasure.
Two reasons are given for the royal
quarrel, one being that the king and
duke do not see eye to eye the mat
ter of the earl of Anglesey's suit for
the hand of that very charming prin-
cess. Patricia Connaught. Lord An
glesey, by the way. also is going to
shoot big game and travel generally.
the latter with the idea of enlarging
his experience and knowledge of the
world. with view of ultimately TAX
ing professional part in politics.
nas Political Ambition.
The earl is not only of the hand
soonest and wealthiest bachelors in
England. but has ambition for playing
big role in the affairs of his coun-
try. Since his accession to the title,
following upon the death OF that pop
Inlay earl who achieved notoriety by
his fowered waistcoats. excessive
fondness for jewelry, and Thespian
eccentricities, the present earl has
been the despair of matching nlammas
of London society, for his devotion to
his princess has been so deep that he
could never be prevailed upon to even
notice other girls. 1t is surmised that
his political ambitions take their root
in the idea that IL he achieved dist1nc-
tion in the service Of his country, the
veto upon his marriage with royal
princess would stand an excellent
chance Of being removed.
The other reason assigned for the
cloud between the king and Connaught
is that the former objected to the
dukes resignation of the post of high
commissioner and commander-in-
chief of the Mediterranean station, to
which Lord Kitchener was afterward
appointed. The dukes appointment
caused much bad feeling at the time,
and general sympathy among army
men for the duke. who is too good
a soldier to be wasted on a purely
honorary post. Similar sympathy is
extended to Kitchener, on the same
grounds

Philadelphia. Nov. 17-By orders
placed here today, the Pennsylvania
railroad will add 10000 freight cars
to it's rolling stock. For the eastern
lines of the company $500 hopper
gondola coal cars and 500 steel under
frame fiat cars were ordered from the
Pressed Steel Car company and 1000
hopper gondola coal cars from the
Standard Steel Car company For the
lines west of Pittsburg $500 steel
coke cars, 1.500 gondola cars and 500
box cars were ordered from the
Pressed Steel Car company and 500
box cars from the Ralston Steel Car
company.
These orders are in addition to the
orders for the regular requirements
on the 1909 and 1910 schedules for
which $4,000 cars had already been
ordered since the first Of the year.

rescuer also carries tank OF oxygen
and an apparatus for resuscitating the
victims.
At the government station at Pitts
burg and its branches at Urbana. Ill.,,
and Knoxville, Tenn, as many as 500
miners have been instructed in a
week in the use of the apparatus with
the result that the three largest coal
companies in Pennsylvania have es-
tablished such stations of their own.
The equipment of miners in Europe
with the oxygen apparatus has helped
reduce the death rate among miners
there to .015 per cent of those en-
ployed. In the United States the
death rate is 04S6 per cent.
DR.. Holmes says that the death rate
Of miners in the United States until
1908 had been increasing faster than
the production of coal. During 1907,
5000 men were lost in disasters. That
year congress appropriated $15O,O00
for educational and experiment work
among the miners and after years
work along those lines the fatalities
of 1908 were 2,450.

aside from the possibility of re-
modelling existing plants, the secret
of all smokeless combustion of coal
in the future lies In four directions:
first, as large plants may, for obvious
reasons, be operated moro econom-
ically than smaller ones, the concen-
tration of the functions Of the latter
in central plants in cities offers a
solution Of the problem of producing
power, light and heat at reasonable
price and without smoke. Second, the
conversion of coal into a producer Of
gas and the utilization of the latter in
power production by gas engines both
In small independent Installations and
large central generating stations.
Third. the cOmpressing of bitumi-

Fourth. the coking of coal in by

saving the gases and distillates for
power production and Industrial use.
Altogether. the situation is hope
full. The smokeless city in the future
is to be the note of civilization: a
