The first time I proposed to Nan

of the prince with maddening stub

Nan and the prince drove and

PRESIDENT McCREA's GREAT SCHEME.

James s. McCrea, president of the Pennsylvania rail

lie bases his appeal upon humanitarian considerations
and not on the annoyance of railway at the
present hobo stealing ride. So he has written to
Orlando f. Lewis of the New York charity organizations
urging assistance in putting stop to the widespread evil
Of trespassing railway property and the CHASTITY roll
OF deaths and maimings from it. The fact that in two
years his railway killed 1879 people who respassng
gives McCrea right to speak out.
part of McCrea's remedy consists in keeping card

be put in prison permanently Tramps doubt feel the
same way about it. Humantariansm being founded on
the desire to decrease human suffering it is difficult to

periments are just being completed by
the United States government at Pitts
burg. which have demonstrated that
the making of briquettes from Ignite
or brown coal enormously Increases
the heating property q this kind Of
fuel. This has given IN impetus to
tie development OF Ignite mines tn
the San Antonio country. This part
Of Texas has one Of tho largest aud
finest deposits of Ignite coal In the

that 81 soon Is the new railroad pro-

What Drawback Was.
The drawback in handling Ignite
coal heretofore has been the difficulty
in transporting It. n 1t is brittle and

process overcomcs this and at the same
time increases BY pressure the Nesting
properties Of the product The devel.
opment OF this great coal field will. &C.
cording to the government experts
solve the fuel problem Of Texas. The
fact that this state is at . distance
from the bituminous and anthracite

where oil Is not found to retard manu-
featuring development.
The opening up of this great lignitt
