NE-CARRY1NG TOO STRENUOUS
Sch. Pendleton Satisfaction will engage in
other Business.

BoSToN, September %. When the
three-masted schooner Pendleton Salts
faction was towed up the harbor yester-
day morning her appearance indicated
that she had encountered furious storms
at sea. The decks We're battered, her
forward house smashed and some of the
deck fittings destroyed, but Capt. Clay
said the damage was not the result of
stormy weather.
He said that the schooner had been
chartered for two trif to carry GRAM. e
from Stonington, Me-, to Sandwich for
the mammoth breakwater. She carried
1000 tons each trip, but the loading and
discharging nearly wrecked the vessel.
While the last cargo was being discharg-
ed a big stone dropped from the sings
and went through the forward house. 1t
knocked a big hole in that part of the yes
sci, besides smashing to flinders some of
the furniture.
The vessel was taken to East Boston,
where the repairs will probably be done.
The Pendleton Satisfaction was formerly
the Myra B. Weaver. She capsized in
Vineyard sound several years ago and
the captain, several of the crew and two
young women, relatives Of the captain,
were drowned.
The vessel will probably be chartered
for southern port, the trade in which
she generally engages.

SMALL CHECKS A CRIME.
Law Which Makes Minimum Sl.0O Stirs
Up Many Protests.

WASHINGTON, September q. If you
should write check for less than 81
after January /, 1910, you will subject
yourself to the possibility of fine of
$500, or being imprisoned for six months
in jail
Protests by the hundred are being filed
by merchants, retail houses of all kinds,
especially those doing mail order bust
ness, and by all business men in general
against section ITS of the penal law,
which was approved March a, 1909, and
provides that no person shall make issue,
circulate or pay out any note, check,
memorandum, token or other obligation
for less sum than 81 intended to circu-
late as money, or to be received or used
in lieu of lawful money of the United
States.
Though this law will not take effect
until January LIST next, business houses
are busy sending protests to their Con-
gressmen that the section should not go
in effect at that time.
Congressman Palmer of New York has
been appealed to to investigate just what
the section means, and if it will prevent
the making of a check for less than 81.
He has been requested to introduce bill
asking for the repeal of the law.
He, in turn, has requested the treas
ury department and the department of
justice to give him an explanation of the
law, and he will await the opinion of the
attorney general and the treasury officials
before he decides what action he will take
The Illinois delegation, particularly
those representing Chicago, where a
large mail order business is done, has
been investigating the effect of the law
should it go into force
Merchants of Pennsylvania are also
greatly interested in the repeal of the
law, filing their protests with the law
makers from their States.

Woods Wisdom.

John Wyman, an old Maine woodsman,
says: eff one gets lost in a fog on a
mountain and has no compass, take a
pencil or small round stick or your
knife and put the point on your thumb
nail; it's the best compass in the world.
You will always get shadow, however
thick the fog, provided the sun is shining
anywhere in this hemisphere. This is a
safe compass. My grandfather, an old
English officer, taught me that. 1t never

Substitute for HOLSTERS.

The fact that the catch of Holsters
along the New England and Canada coast
is lessened each year has suggested the
proposition to supplement the catch by
substituting therefor the spiny lobster
(Palinurus vulgaris). So far as taste and
quality go, they are just the same. The
spiny lobster lacks the two large claws.
They are said to be plentiful on the Cal
cos banks, West Indies. From Daily

applauded vociferously. Bowling his

pitched voice, said: "The swoon has
queened."
There was roar of laughter He
waited patiently until it had subsidized and
tried again: 1.-The sween has cooned.
Again the house roared and the stage
manager in a voice that could be heard
all over the theatre, said, Come off,

WHEAT SUPPLY
AMPLE.

The wheat supply in this
country and Europe about the
middle of July was about 67,-
OOO,O 900 bushels. This amount
does not include wheat in the
hands of the farmers, nor does
it include the new crop or any
part of it. The supply at the
corresponding date last year
was II 100000 bushels about l.
100000 bushels larger.
These facts demonstrate that
the world did not stand in any
danger of lack of bread stuff
last spring when the Patten
corner in wheat was formed.
The facts show that the Patten
wheat corner was worked uI
and was net justified by condi-
tions.

Effect OF Railways.
With the completion Of the
Norfolk and Western Railway,
in 1882, the coal fields in the
southwestern part of the State,
which belongs to the Appala-
chian system, were opened. A
portion of the famous Poca-
hontas district is included with
IN Tazewell county, and the
construction OF the Clinch
Valley branch of the Norfo k &
Western Railway IN 1892 open
ed valuable coal lands in Wise
county, which has since become
the most important producing
district In the State. The
development of the Black
/ Mountain field, in Lee county,
after the completion of railroad
I connections from Pennington
Gap to Appalachia, was begun
. in 1905 and a small production
was reported IN 1906. In 1907
the output of this county
amounted TO nearly 200, 90,
tons. and IN 1905 20 more than
46O. 900 tons. Further develop
ment of this district is expect
ed.
