ALASKA IS UNCLE SANS" -.
GREAT TREASURE CASKE7

That Alaska is destined to be
the coal producing center of
America is relative safe predic-
ton. Neither in it's gold nor in
its fur seals, neither in its bounti-
fol salmon fisheries nor in its great
forests does the real wealth Of II G
vast nethern Territory chiefly lie,
but in It's macthless coal deposits.
A writer in Norman E. Mack
National Monthly has good warrant
Of terming Alaska "Uncle Sam s
treasure casKet. l1ssp
Forty years ago it was an object
Of satire as Stewards Folly" be-
cause that statesman had paid
Rus STA 100000, for the pre-
postcrous ice fields. The fur seal
alone have recouped the price four
times over. Leaving out of
account the gold of tire Klondike
and the enormous yielc of salmon,
it Is profitable to inquire what
Alaska is now known to mean as a
national asset.
Great Britian's total wealth is
estimated at $88, 725. 900, 900, or
1880 yer capita. Thrifty France,
with much smaller population.
boasts 49,. 500. 900. 900. or SPOTS
per capita. The estimate for the
United Stntes Is $125, 900. 5000, 90,
or 1880 per capital. But when
Alaksan coal lands are included in
the calculation the figures are of a
kind to stagger the ina yination.
Geological experts Of the United
States Government believes that
the coal-beariDg land will total
from $4,000 to 10000 square
miles. OF this area but 10000
square miles have been surveyed
and their yield is estimated ut over
15,000.00C, 100000 tons At a
minimum rate of Sd a ton this
means 100000. 900. 900, which,
multiplied forty times. in accor-

SUES DIR. ALLEN.
Miss Ayres Says Action Is Not. for
 Breach of Promise

The following story appeared in Mondays New York World:
 Miss Lillian M. Ayers, who is nearly thirty-six years old and who lives at No. 33 Cove street, East NOrwalk, Ct., will visit her lawyer to-day and de- eide what she is to do now that Dr. Henry W. Allen, of No. 51 South Main street, South Norwalk, to whom she says she has been engaged for ten years, has married Mrs. Edith M. Dex- ter, widow of No. 40 Pleasant street, Danbury.
 The marriage took place on July 24 Gossip in the Norwalks is that Miss Ayers already has sued for breach of promise. She admits she brought an action a fortnight or so ago, but says she was seeking not heart balm but money that she had advanced to Dr. Allen to pay for his clothes while he was studying. This suit, whatever the grounds on which it was institut- ed, was settled out of court Miss Ayers accepted $500
 ''She proposed to me and I accepted her out of generosity said the doc tor to a World reporter yesterday. That was all he would say.
 Miss Ayers vehemently denied she ever had offered her heart and hand to the physician.
 we kept company for eighteen 5, years we were engaged when pr. AL len was at medical college I lent him money so that he could buy clothes. Everybody in town expected we would marry, though the engagement was known only to our families. When he was graduated from college two years ago mother and I took the house on South Main street and let him board with us so that he could have an office.
 'I soon discovered that Dr. Allen was not the man I wanted and I left the house on March last. He didn't throw me over; I threw him over. I didn't sue him for breach of promise, though I have letters from him dating back for eighteen years which would give me plenty of grounds for action. What I sued him for was the money I gave him to buy his clothes when he was in college.
 I'm going to see my lawyer to-day and find out from him what to do though I don't like to please Dr. Allen by suing him, as he might think I really did want him.
 Miss Ayers said the doctor wanted her to marry him while he was sttli in college, but she refused She said that the assertion that she was too good for him was always on his lips. Their first break came when he want ed her to mortgage property, she add ed.
 The doctor returned from his honey moon only a few days ago. His bride owns fine home in Danbury and is looked on as wealthy.

Animal Judas Is Common In
 Many Abattoirs
(New York MaiI.)

Every little slaughter house has a Judas of it's own, and some of the big ones have half a dozen. All of which goes to show that every race, be it human Or bovine, Or any other, IS bound to suffer at the instance of be- trayers.
 The Judas of the United Dressed Beef Company in this city-Or rather one of the Judases--happens to be Of the feminine gender and her name is Nelly. What Is more, she is con- sidered the best little trifier in the slaughter house business having it on both her running mates, Henry and John.
 To be precise, Judas in slaughter house terms is an interruptions COW, utterly devoid of conscience or sym pathy, which lures other unsuspect- ing cows and steers to the brink or destrlrction-and then topples them over.
 Nelly of United Dressed Beef fame, Of more bloodshed among her race than any other living COW. She and her pair of heartless decoy mates are confined in comfortable stalls in the rear of the big building on the East river, carefully and sumptuously fed and provided with all other comforts of bovine life, in turn for which they  to the block where butchers slaugh- ter.
 Nelly and her mates may be said to have turned states evidence for immunity from sudden death, and have been turning it every day since
 The cattle are brought to the rear of the building on cattle boats, herd ed in a corral from which a narrow runway leads. It would be impossible often to induce them to go into this narrow path leading to destruction were it not for the decoy steers. These are turned into the corral with the others and immediately enter the rum way and gallop up toward the block where the butchers wait.
 Full well they know that they will cross this block in safety, for they have been trained to decoy through years of practice, and a good Judas is a valuable possession to a packing company.
 Seeing the Judases beating it up the chute and supposing that the mar row road must lead to liberty. the other cattle follow pell mell, and, as they cross the block are knocked down and slaughtered by the butchers. A first-class Judas is worth several hun- dred dollars

TAX ON SETON HALL LAND.
Sixteen Acres Owned by the College Liable to Assessment.
State of Connecticut.

South Orange, N J., Aug 23-Much against his will Dr. Joseph Arnold, village tax assessor, busied himself yesterday, preparing for the use of the county Board of Taxation detailed maps and other information which will enable the board to assess sixteen acres of Seton Hall College land at a valuation of $1, 800 an acre. The land has never been assessed before be- cause it belongs to an educational and at the same time a religious institu- ton. Dr. Arnold is a member of the faculty of the cellege.
 The contention of the county tax board is that the college does not use the land and that it is holding it out from taxation unjustly to the rest of the community. It is the ruling of the board that real estate held by a church or educational institution that is not used directly in the work of the institution must be taxed the same as other property.
 The college authorities and the as- sessor meet that contention with the statement that the land in question is used for farm purposes and that 1t is a vital asset to the college.

MONOPOLIES KEEP UP HIGH PRICES

The special committee appointed to investigate the high cost of living in Connecticut made it's final report to the General Assembly yesterday. The report says that. while. there IS a marked tendency towards co-Opera- ton by merchants in the state en- gagged in handling like commodities, there are few, if any, combinations in unreasonable restraint of trade, or for the purpose of creating a mo- nopoly in the handling of merchan- disc, coming under the head of neees- sities of life. The committee investi- gated the so-called Wholesale Groc- ers' Associa tion, but no evidence was found to show that the combination was illegal. Continuing, the report says:
 'sThere was considerable evidence to show that the sugar refners re- stricted their trade to brokers. who, in turn. restricted their trade to convinced that the sugar refneries attempt to maintain a uniform price, and succeed fairly we'll in doing so, with the assistance of their brokers"
 The report says that there is significant uniformity in the retail prices of coal in the various cities of the state and that there was no evidence of a omb1natiOn in restraint of trade among the coal dealers, "but there is a strong evidence that the
 
 controlled by few coal-carrying roads,"
 Concerning the ice situation, the committee reports that it came to the conclusion that, while combinations had been effected for the purpose of absorbing competing ice dealers and operating their plants under one man. agement, this had a tendency towards monopoly. inasmuch as it wiped out competition. In every case in which this was done, however, it appeared to the committee that it was a req sonable combination and not in re- straint of trade. The report con- cludes in these words:
 'Your committee is of the opinion that a general investigation of all state institutions and institutions for the support of which money is ap- propriated by the Legislature would result in a great saving to the state of Connecticut and a consequent re- d11ction of the tax rate"
