Immediately after the model was

>'tAet strated to the full satisfaction of Mas ter Mechanic Adams and other experts. the Examiner still displayed doubt as to the usefulness of the new cy- finder engine. He still insisted that the engine was Imperative, asserting that he could not understand how Mr McNulty can move the piston to the left after having moved it to the right by live steam acting against the left side thereof. His contention that when the valves are shifted, after the piston has reached the end of travel to the right. which shifting is done to permit the steam on the left hand side is less than on the right hand side, the pressure on the right hand side is less than on the iCll uduu Slut. dIlu ludl Il lIlIS we're not the case no steam would pass to the right hand side to the left hand side of the piston"
 Compound engines in use toda, have two cylinders or either use another cylinder to compound it's steam. By the invention of Mr. McNulty. which will eventually be ap- piled to large freight and passenger engines. only one cylinder is used and it can also be operated as quad ruple expansion engine.
 The new machine is simple Any engineer may handle it, and it has no intricate or complicated parts. It's cost is moderate and it can be ap- piled to any steam engine, if there is enough clearance in the steam chest The model of Mr. McNulty's. which is attracting much attention here, re- quires two valves, one extra valve rod and double-slotted link, extenl- ed from hanger. The hanger is held to the frame by a small brace. A lever on the hanger regulates the valves, permitting the engine to operate either simple or compound The engine resembles the small sta tionary engines in use at the present time. The motion comes from the eccentric. The latter is connected to the double slotted link, giving it power to move what is called variable ra- ceive valve The lever moves in two directions. while the receiver valve furnishes the compound or the simple action. By applying two cylinders to the engine a quadrupla expansion re- suits. thus characteriy:ns the McNulty invention as "a wonder" in this great mechanical age. For years expert machinists in all parts oi the country have been workino to perfect just such an engine and many of them have abandoned the idea, declaring such an accomplishment to be an lmposs!- bility.
 Mr. McNulty, the inventor, will prob ably reap a fortune out of his new in vention. as many propositions haze already been submitted to hi mbv Eastern manufacturers of steam en- zines. The inventor is compara- lively young man, but has been a machinst for fifteen years. He came here some months ago from MoberlT' Mo-, and was at that time working on the single cylinder machine. His wife who is a pretty brunette and a native of Texas, merits part of the fame about to be enjoyed by her husband. For months she gave the machine much study and aided Mir. McNulty in his successful efforts to perfect 1t.

Upheld Mississippi Catfish's Honor

"Ill show you," quoth Deane. He
proceeded to his comfortable home
and informed Mrs. Deane that, for the
first time in his life his word was
doubted, and over a Mississippi river
catfish at that. They put their heads
together and composed a letter to the
United States Fish Commission, ask
ing that Deane's statement be veri-
field, if possible, from the official rec
ords.
A reply was received instanter,
Commissioner Bowers declaring that
a %100-pound catfish is small for the
Mississippi and showing that 800
Founders are not uncommon. Bearing
this epistle in his hand, and with a
serene smile on his countenance,
Deane proceeded to his accustomed
place in the bureau and called for the
skeptics.
All hands were convinced and re-
treated in silence to their ~ink-stained
presses. I've seer many a big cat
fish In Missouri" said Deane, "but I
was not prepared to go as far as Com
missioner Bowers in attesting their
size. l was shown myself and did

If you intend to grow your corn IN

grew 254 bushels of shelled corn per
acre. Mr.. Stoney of same state, this
year, 246 bushels. 1t is familiar to
all that corn club boys in Memphis

what you would make per acre if you

COAL MERGER
$131, 600, 90 INVOLVED IN THE
CONSOLIDATION.
New Combine Will Control Eighty
Per Cent of the Output
of Sort Coal.

Baltimore, Md.-The gigantic combina'
ton of coal interests, involving a capi-
talization of $131 ,00o, 900, and to include
the Consolidation Coal Company of Bal
timore and the Pittsburg Coal Company,
the two largest producers of bituminous
coal in the world, is pending, is the gen
eral belief in financial circles in Balti-
more.
A merger of the Consolidation and the
Pittsburg companies would give them
control of approximately so per cent. OF
the soft coal mines of the United States.
The Pittsburg Coal Company is now the
largest producer of soft coal in the
world, with the local concern a close sec
ond. The former owns and leases 217,-
CSC acres of coal land in Pennsylvania
and Ohio.
The Consolidation owns and leases
200, 900 acres in Pennsylvania, Maryland,
West Virginia and Kentucky, and the
two companies between them control ap-
proximately 80 per cent. of what is
known as the Pittsburg seam.
President Clarence w. Watson, vice
president; Jere W~heelwright, chairman
of the finance committee, and Van Lear
Black, of the Consolidation Coal Com
pany, are in New York, presumably in
connection with the big merger.

COTTON AGAIN AT IS CENTS
Receipts at All Towns Show a
Falling Off.

Memphis, Tenn.-The cotton market
has practically completed the process of
re-establishing itself upon the basis that
prevailed before the late break. Mid
ding in Memphis is quoted again at Is
cents, while March cotton in New York
sold at 1910, and January 1898. From
these top levels there was a recession OF
Is points, but net gains for Wednesday
were 20 points on active options.
Throughout the tone was steady and
the suddenness of the recovery seemed
in no way to initiate against its main
tenance or stability. This was highly re-
assuring to the entire trade, and barring
reactions of more or less consequence,
which may be expected from the 15-cent
level, it is felt that the way is again
clear and that the market will sell much
higher than before.
From the figures in hand it would
seem that the falling off in receipts this
week will be impressive when the totals
are in Friday night, and such decrease
as may be shown is believed to be but
the beginning of the process which will
ere long establish beyond pe%radyenture
of doubt that the crop is a very small
one.

Question of Ham Raised in Washington

this dainty morsel is not only al art.
but borders on the sacred things of
Jul lives.
Our pigs are raised with infinite
care: they are not allowed to associate
with those of the lower strata in life;
iron-clad rules are observed in feed
ing and grooming them, and when at
last they are doomed to die, we are
almost Is sorry as they can possibly
be.
But our qualms of conscience are
assuaged when, after months of smok-
ing in the dear old smokehouse, the
hams are tenderly taken from their
hooks and treated to a period of SIM
mering flor you never boil a ham, and
basting and browning and g~arnishing,
then served and eaten with pure joy
and gusto.
They don't know what a really
good piece of hog meat is in Virginia.
| will admit, however, that l learned
all l know about cooking ham from
my friend Mrs. Burke of Alexandria.
Mrs. Burke is a great-granddaughter of
Thomas Jefferson, and she was telling
me how the art of simmering the
dainty came to be known in America.
she said that when Mr.. Jefferson
was rambling about Europe in search
of knowledge, he happened to stay in
Paris at a fashionable hotel. The
lam was so good that Mr.. Jefferson
called for the Prince of the Kitchen
and asked him how he managed to
keep the meat so tender.
"Zs ham must be simmered, o

the obliging chef.

Denver.-Mrs. Ella Palmer, who or.
ganized the hospital corps of the Con
federate Army of Tennessee and re-
manned at it's head until the close OF
the Civil War, died in a sanitarium at
Boulder Monday, aged so years. Death
was due to paralysis.
During the wal Mrs. Palmer Travelled
with the Confederate divisions of Gems,
Johnson, Hood, B~eaureguard and Wilson
and she was present at many of the
noted battles in which those leaders par
ticipated.
Mrs. Palmer was born in North Caro-
lima, but spent her girlhood in Hiawatha:
Ga. Her husband fought in the Mexican
War. He died before the Civil War broke
out, and Mrs. Palmer was left with one
child. She was living at Chattanooga
Tenn, when the sick and wounded Con.
federate soldiers were being brought In
from the front, and their woeful lack OF
proper attention appealed to her and led
her to begin organizing a systematic hos.

COTTON UP So PER BALE
Bulls Large Buyers-South Would
Not Sell at Decline.

Memphis, Tenn.-In an active and
steady market, unattended by excite
ment, cotton prices advanced 60 points
Tuesday, or So per bale. On the pre-
ceding day values dropped below IA cents
for some options and were 125 points
under the high prices, of last week. On
the rise January sold at 1865 and March
at 14.79.
The bull party in New York, Of which
Patten is commonly reputed the leader,
were buyers. The so-called Wall street
crowd bought some, and those who had
sold it thinking the market was going
still lower bought to stay further losses.
1t has been the opinion of many in
the trade that the declines of last week
and Monday of this week were forced.
The advance Of the day brought out
again the bullish influences eclipsed by
the decline, and the indicated shortage
of the present crops was a leading influ-
ence. On the break the farmers of the
South and other holders of the actual
cotton refused to sell and this turned at
tention anew to the strength of the
staple on it's merits.

AIRS CHAMP CLARK of Missouri
N1 has entered a controversy which

of the Democratic leader in the house
of representatives takes direct issue
with Gov. Joe" Blackburn, Col.
John A. Joyce, Mrs. F. Berger Moran
and others who have declared in favor
of hickory smoke with which to cure
the ham, the light of the full moon in
which to kill it, and that it must come

TAFT ENDS $4,000 MILE TRIP
Made Last Speech in Capital of the
Confederacy.

Washington.-With his arrival in
Washington the President completed a
journey of 1879 miles, extending over
a period of 81 days. During that time,
the trip extending from Boston to the
Pacific coast and back again by way of
the South to Washington, the President
crossed 81 states and territories, visit
ing 76 cities, not to mention as many
more towns, in which short stops were
made and brief speeches delivered from
the car platform.
He made, in round numbers, $50
speeches, attended at least so banquets,
During the journey he left United
States territory for a brief period and
met and dined with President Diaz of
Mexico. He went down into a copper
mine, climbed down a mountain trail,
participated on horseback in a cattle
roundup, sailed down the Mississippi,
rambled through the Yosemite valley and
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, saw
the Seattle exposition, visited an an
cient Indian village in the New Mexican
desert, and saw the rebuilt city Of San

Uncle Sam Develops New Easter Lily

great saving Ii the time taken toforce a
good Easter lily could be reduced by a
month or two.
With a view of bringing this about
the naturalization of the Philippine
and the Bermuda lily has been effect
ed. The result of the cross Is a flow
err larger than the familiar Easter lily,
but not quite so broad as and a little
shorter than the Philippine lily.
I'D to this time Americans have had
to rely for a very sparse supply of
Philippines lilies upon the Philippine
islands, and they arrive early in the
spring, when they cannot be used for
forcing; but by growing them in
California they can be obtained in the
fall in good time for forcing into flow
er during the winter. The plants so
far grown in California, says Mr..
Oliver, do not show signs of the lily
disease.
A second line of work I'm connection
with the production of lilies has been
under way in the department for the
last four years. This embraces the

dom from disease as manifested by
spotted leaves and distorted flowers.
Three varieties have been selected,
all OF which are well known in this
country.
In connection with the work on the
improvement of florists flowers a new
summer-blooming dahlia has been de-
veloped by Mr.. Oliver, and, 1t is be-
lieved, will fill a long-felt want in
supplying flowers Of brilliant colors
several weeks before the ordinary
types of dahlias are available. The
seed-bearing parent of the new race
is a species discovered three years
ago in Mexico at an elevation of 1000
feet by Federico Chisholm. The plants

industry and have been crossed with
the ordinary species, and as a result
OF these crosses more than 20 new
forms have been developed.

Various lines of work have been

pose of securing new types of lilies
by hybridizing and crossing and to
demonstrate the practicability of grow
ing lilies in this country directly from

One of the most promising of the
hybrids has resulted from crossing the

HOLDS BETTING NOT CRIME
New York Court Of Appeals Amrms
Judge Gaynor's Decision.

Albany, N. Y.-Betting is a crime only
when accompanied by a record, registry
or the use of some part of the paraph-
ernalia of professional gamblers, accord
ing to a decision handed down by the
court of appeals. In effect the decision
holds that oral betting does not con-
stitute bookmaking in violation of the
so-called anti-race track gambling laws
recommended by Gov. Hughes.
In holding that the laying of odds
alone does not constitute a crime, Judge
Haight says.
eff a man should offer to bet the ladies
of his party a pair of gloves to a box OF
candy, it would be the laying of odds
and publishing the same. 10 hold him
to be a bookmaker would, in my judg-
ment, be a departure from the rule which
gives to the terms of the statute their
ordinary and accepted meaning, and
would be a construction which was not
within the contemplation of the legisla-
ture."
