Fuel From Waste Coal.

A practical means Of saving the enor-
nous waste Of coal by the present
mining methods is reported by John
L. Cochrane Of the technologic bureau.
The results Of series Of experiments
have been compared, and Mr.. Cochrane
reports that coal briquets can be made
from slack or waste coal and coal Of
inferior grades which are not marketed
at present. The waste is mixed with
s or 6 per cent Of water gas pitch. then
pressed into cakes or bricks.
It has been shown. according to this
report. that the briquets furnish more
power from less weight in fuel than
the regular coal from the same mines
Being lighter in weight than coal. the
briquets will serve good purpose in
the navy and also on railroads. 1t is
claimed that the briquets give of less
smoke than coal. An enormous guam
tity of waste coal is cast aside at the
mines. and inferior grades are left III
the ground untoached. The briquets
make valuable what was useless be-
fore, and their manufacture will add
to our stock Of fuel the equivalent Of
many million tons Of coal.

Sensation ON the Stage.

Some i'll advised mOralists have re-
gently been giving free advertising in
New York to five plays that ought to
be suppressed The question is one
to interest the whole country, for I'M
der the present system Of controlling
theatrical attractions the successful
sensation Of the metropolitan boards
Is certain to invade the interior with
ks prestige Of a 'long run and crowd
ed houses The question of the re-
sponsibility for the continuance on
the stage of plays that ought to be
suppressed is agitating many commu-
nities this winter. Managers and
aramatists hang together and blame it
on the public. The drift Of the pub
lies protest is that the doubtful play
ls seldom patronized when there is
any other worth while.
In the long run the occasional thea
ter gosrs support the stage when it is
supported. Time hangs heavy, and
they want, a sensation. The play
which makes them laugh and cry al
ternatelys is preferred to, the kind
which is radical and exciting in Its
appeal. The one arouses good emo
tions; the other disquiets the soul

EXAMINATIONS
WELL UNDERWAY

The examinations in the Hattiesburg
public schools, which began last
Wednesday, will continue till Wednes-
day of this week. These examinations
have kept the pupils, teachers and SUI
perintendent Woodley going at top
speed and this morning when the bell
rang for SCHOOL at the high school
building evidence was given of the
lively educational atmospheric condi-
tions which surrounded and permeated
the building. There was no hurrying
of disorder, but everywhere nerves
were visible. The industrious amety
of the teachers was reflected in the
faces of the pupils, but these latter,
of course, look at the situation from
another point of view They find
something different in standing" an
examination and in holding one.
The examinations not yet complet-
ed a full list of the pupils who will
pass. is incomplete and the final re-
suits will not be known till the
close of the examinations on Wednes-
day. Then, Prof. Woodley will be in
a position to give out the full roll.
The diplomas to be given to the
graduates of the high school were
received this morning by Prof. Wood
ley. They are engraved and of the
regulation size and bear the following
inscription;

night SESSIONS WILL
POSSIBLY BE HELD
Chairman AIdrich Will Soon Beqin to
Take Up the Odds and Ends of the
Bill, But This Will Be After Import
ant Matters Are Disposed of.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The SEN
ate program for this week includes
nothing but the tariff. The sessions
will continue to begin early, and there
is now a possibility that they will not
only continuelat in the day, but that
they will be extended into the night.
No plan of operation has been out
lined beyond that of hammering away
at the various schedules as persist
entity as possible. The lumber sched-
ule, which was taken up yesterday,
will continue to receive the attention
of the senate today and it is expected
Mr.. Hepburn, of Idaho, will conclude
his remarks. He is pleading zealously
for high duty on lumber, while Sen
ator McCumber, of North Dakota, is
just as earnestly exerting himself to
prevent the imposition of any duty on
that article.
With the lumber paragraphs dis
posed of, the finance committee will
undertake to have the senate go back
and gather up the odds and ends of
the bill which have passed over, with
a view to cleaning up as much of the
measure as possible before the cotton
and woolen schedules are reached,
on which there will be much discus
sion and sharp conflict. 1t is not prob
able, however, that either of these
schedules will be reached during the
present week.
Senator Aldrich will continue to
urging the fixing of a date for the
taking of the final vote on the bill.
He discourages all morbid prophecies
of an all-summer session.
The house will make no especial
effort to gather a quorum during the
week, but if there is quorum present
at either the Monday or the Thursday
session the Philippine tariff bill and
the Porto Rican bill will receive at
tention.

TEACHERS FOR
NEXT YEAR NAMED
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF CITY
SCHOOLS DISCUSS ADDING
TWO NEW COURSES.
These Are Domestic Science and Man
uaI Training-Mr. Neill Gives Up
Principalship to Go to Laurel.
MIR. Morris Succeeds Him.

The board of Trustees OF the Hat
tiesburg public schools at its last meet
ing had before it the interesting ques-
tion OF electing teachers for the
schools for the session of 19O9-10.
To the board was also presented the
necessity of electing a number of new
teachers, some of those who have been
serving the city having found the sal
aries inadequate and others having
been offered inducements to go else
where.
The city high school will lose it's
principal who has served this school
so well during the past two years as
to win the highest praise from Off
cials in position to best know his
publications as a teacher and his per-
sonal characteristics which so admir-
ably equip him for the school room.
Mr.. c. l.. Neill came to Hattiesburg
two years ago from Montrose, Jasper
county, he leaves the office of prin-
cipal OF the Hattiesbqrg High School
to accept the same position in the pub
lie schools of Laurel, Miss.
Mr.. Rupert c. Morris will succeed
Mr.. Neill as principal. Mr.. Morris is
at present superintendent of the
schools of Gloster, Miss. He is a grad
uate of the University of Mississippi
and has been teaching for eight years.
Among the new teachers chosen by
the trustees for the next school term
there are seven who are graduates of
state schools. These are:

BENTONVILLE, Ark. May. pa
With all except two of the presbyteries
represented by commissioners and
several hundred visitors in attend
ance. the seventy-ninth general assem-
bly, of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church was formally organized last
week with the selection of the Rev.
j. 7. Barbee, of Dawson Springs, KY,
moderator and the adoption of a pro-
gram which provides for a session of
six days and the discussion of mat
ters of unusual importance to the
church. The name of the Rev, T.
Ashburn, of Knoxville, Tenn, was also
proposed as moderator, the vote, how
ever, being in favor of Mr.. Barbee and
made unanimous.

SENSATIONAL STORY Of
KIDNAPPING At MERIDIAN

Montgomery. z
The teachers reelected by the
board are as follows:
Miss Kate Williams, Miss Matte
McCollum, Miss Maude Baskin, Miss
Myrtle Bass, Miss Mary Pierce Folkes,
Miss Evelyn Cook, Miss Villa Moore,
Miss Annie Wellons, Mr.. ]. M. Kenna,
Mrs. Grace Christian, Mrs. Neva Shu-
maker Miss Matte Houston, Miss
Martha Barrow, Miss Susie Smylie,
Miss Ina Pope, Miss Matte Bass, Miss
Louise McCauley, Miss Elizabeth
Watkins, Miss Anna Fuller, Mr.. T. A.
Barnes, Miss May Robbins.
The election of teachers for the
negro schools of the city for the next
session resulted in the election of ].
E, Taylor as principal and his wife as
assistant and Lewis Swan as teacher.
During the session of the board
there was brought up the subject of
adding two new courses to the High
School curriculum. The proposed new
courses were domestic science for the
girls and manual training for the boys.
Under the head of domestic science
would come the subjects of cooking,
cutting and making of garments,
household sanitation, housekeeping
and the general care of the home.
The manual training course, like
that of the domestic science course,
will be taught exclusively in the High
School grades and will include
branches covering the first year of in
dustrial education for boys who may
desire to follow an industrial employ
ment.
No action was taken by the board.
No matter how well the adding of the
two new courses may be thought of
since, at present, there is no rooms in
the High School building for the ac-
commodation of such classes and to
obtain accommodations of any kind
it would be necessary to do some re-
modelling and repairing on the build
ing.
Whether or how this may or may
not be done, is something which will
require the action of the mayor and
board of aldermen.
The commercial departmental the
High School, under the direction of
Mr.. F. A. Barnes, now occupies very
crowded quarters. In this school there
are taught shorthand, typewriting and
bookkeeping. The latter course is
taught in the highest, or eleventh
grade of the High School,

NATCHEZ, Miss, May 24.-The
program of the entertainment of the

Of a big parade of sailors under the
command of Lieutenant B. B. McCor-

The negroes of the town will give

10000 Visit Ship Yesterday.
The landing presented a busy scene
all day yesterday.
By actual count there had been 16,-
900 passengers passed over the gang
way into the ferry Concordia, visiting
the battleship, by o'clock yesterday
and as the crowds after that time
were very large, it is thought that fully
5000 more passengers must have come
to the Vidalia side before the close of
the visiting hours at 4:90 O'Clock.
Despite the tremendous crowds of
strangers that visited the vessel, not
an accident was reported, and the
throng was uniformly good-natured
and well-behaved. The visitors were
warned to be careful of their valua-
bles and pocketbooks, as pickpockets
were operating on the gangways. The
officers were bothered by souvenir
fiends, a few of whom profaned the
