Coal Mining In Maryland.

According TO figures compiled 10y
the United States Geological Sur
vey coal mining in Mary land is on
the decline, The production in
1909 was only 4,022,181 tons. In
1907 1t was 5,532,62s tons, and it
has decreased steadily since that
year. The average price per ton
also has fallen from 81 20 in 1907
to 81. II in 1909.
Maryland was sending coal down
the Potomac River in barges as far
back as 1882, and when the Balti-
more 81 Ohio railroad was built in
1912 the State came into promi-
hence as coal producer. Coal de-
posits, however, are not ine& haustl
bic although the term is often ap.
piled in describing pro nising fields.
The exhaustioLof what is known as
the "Maryla nd, Bic Vein" is now in
sight, and it is FOR this reason that
there is not so much Georges Creek

incident In the Later Life Of Mrs.
Alexander Hamilton.

Alexander Hamilton.
A striking incident In the later life
of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, who sur
vived her husband fifty years, is told
in the words of an eyewitness in Al
Ian McLane Hamilton's Intimate Life
of Alexander Hamilton"
Mrs. Hamilton could never forget the
behavior of Monroe when he, with
Muhlenberg and venables. accused
Hamilton of financial Irregularities at
the time of the Reynolds incident
Many years afterward when they were
both aged people Monroe visited her,
and an Interview occurred which was
witnessed by Il nephew, who was then
lad of fifteen II had" he says,
"been sent to call upon my Aunt Ham
ilton one afternoon. | found her in
her garden and was there with her
talking when maidservant came
from the house with card. 1t was
the card of James Monroe. She read
the name and stood holding the card,
much perturbed. Her voice sank, and
she spoke very low as she always did
when she was angry. What has that
man come to see me for? escaped
from her. why, Aunt Hamilton, said
/, don't you know it's Mr. Monroe.
and he's been president. and he is Wis
iting here now in the neighborhood
and has been very much made of and
invited everywhere, and SOL suppose
he has come to call and pay his re-
spects to your After moments hes
itation L will see him. she said.
"The maid went back to the house
My aunt followed. walking rapidly.
after her. AS she entered the parlor
Monroe rose. She stood in the middle
Of the room facing him. She did not
ask him to sit down. He bowed and,
addressing her formally. made her
rather a set speech--that it was many
years since they had met. that the
lapse of time brought its softening in
fiuences. that they both were nearing
the grave, when past differences could
be forgiven and forgotten-in short,
from his point of view a very nice.
conciliatory, well turned little speech.
She answered, still standing and look
ing at him; Mr. Monroe, if you have
come to tell me that you repent, that
you are sorry, very sorry. for the mis-
representations and the ISLANDERS and
the stories you circulated against my
dear husband-if you have come to say
this, understand it. But otherwise
no lapse Of time, no nearness to the
grave, makes any difference She
stopped speaking. Monroe turned, took
up his hat and left the ROOM"
In this connection it may be said
that the oft repeated story of the
meeting of Mrs. Hamilton and Aaron
Burr many years later on an Albany
steamboat is fiction, but it was prob
ably suggested by the Monroe incident.

Hanoed For steaIino Golf Balls,

Some sharp punishment has lately
been meted out to men convicted of
golf ball stealing, and one boy was
sentenced to six strokes with the
birch. The offenders, however. may
congratulate themselves that they live
in a merciful age.
In 1857 at an assiZe in Banff a lad
of the town, having confessed to steal
ing a few trihes, including some golf
balls, was actually hanged for the Of
fense. The indictment ran that he
was ''ane lewd liver and boy of ane

John d. Rockefeller of oil renown is
going to take a rest He has deter.
mined to quit giving money to the Uni
versity of Chicago, which he founded.
The other day he gave another pit
tance of $1o,000000 to the university,
which makes the tidy endowment of
$35, 100000 altogether which he has do
mated. When he handed over the $10,-
100000 he also announced that it was
the last donation he would make to the
university and that he and his secre-
taries withdrew from all connection
with the institution. Mr.. Rockefeller
is not at all miffed, you understand.
His latest and last contribution dis
proves any such theory of accounting
for his action. He simply feels that
the university is big enough now and
has money enough in its pocket to trot
along alone, and he wishes it godspeed
Thirty-five millions is truly con-
cational institution. No matter what
one may think as to the manner in
which Mr. Rockefeller acquired the
wealth he gives away in part. one is
constrained to the belief that the build
ing of great institution of learning
is worth while. Oil scent doesn't last
always, and in times to come the Uni
versity of Chicago will recover from
the disadvantage of having been
founded with Standard Oil money.
In this connection it is permissible
to call attention to the educational
benefactions of Chicagoan, mona
genarian, DR.. ID. X. Pearsons. This
gentleman has not founded great uni
versity, but he has done something
better. He has increased the pitifully
small endowmentS of many little col
leges, giving away in this manner sew
eral million dollars Thereby he has
enabled these struggling Institutions,
which are close to the people and To-
Gated in towns where living is cheap,
TO provide ADLER faculties and better
facilities for educating the youth of
their respective neighborhoods.
The small college in the small town
is an institution of high moral and in
tellectual uplift. If it is worth while
to endow large university it is more
than worth while to enhance the en-
dowment of a group of small colleges.
