Umpire Reversed Himself.

Some time ago a writer told this spirit
ed story of happening in a Yale-Prince-
ton base ball game:
Bang went the ball against the bat.
Each of the Yale runners sprinted for the
next base. The ball hurtled over Muir
rays head into the outfield. He saw
Ramsdel going after it with great strides
and he felt the Yale runner bearing down
upon him. Would Ramsdell never get
there? He had it. Here it came high in
the air-too high. Murray reached up
and caught it-seized it, rather. His hand
swept down toward the STOPPING runner.
Out cried the umpire.
Princeton went mad at the word. Cheers.

Murray felt a kind of dizziness as he
heard the cheer. There was intoxication
in it,

What the Prevaricator Needs.

Then. as the lawyer seemed unpre-
pared to meet the foregoing emphatic
assertion, the learned physician added
Il have found it convenient, to say
the least. to speak the truth. and moth
ing but the truth, during my strenuous
life A prevaricator needs to have a
mighty good memory. but a truthful
man has nothing to fear!
This assertion. from a man noted in
that vicinity for his tru;hfulness. was
such an unanswerable argument. as
well as so convincing to all in the
courtroom, evidently. that the out-of-
town lawyer dismissed the witness
without further questioning.

reputation for absolute truthfulness

Progress in Jerusalem.

From the Exporters Review.
Jerusalem will soon have it's own tram
way service concession having been
granted to a French firm. which will
begin laying the lines during the coming
summer. An English firm has been ask
ed to submit tenders for lighting the
city with electric light, and German
syndicate is to improve the water supply
by the erection of large reservoirs at
springs located about twelve and eighteen
miles north of the city.
The pavements and sewerage system
have received attention from the gov
eminent. 4 few months ago a water
cart was brought from England to SUI
persede the men who sprinkled the
streets with water from skins. The
municipality has also provided itself with
modern fire fighting appliances. A teie-
phone service has been established and
the police are shortly to he equipped
with bicycles. The latest sign of this
work OF moderniZation is the arrival OF
a large American motor road roller.

Useful Rich Men.

From the Boston Globe.
That men of wealth in increasing num-
bers are deserving the ranks of THE idle
rich and devoting their time. talents
and a part of their money to useful pub
lie service is one of the encouraging
fruits of democracy in this country. The
charge has often been made that very
wealthy men do not bear their just pro-
portion of the public burdens, ana pos
sibly many of them do not. Possibly
many of them lack a sense OF re-
sponsiblity.
During the past quarter of century.
however. there have been IN American
public life or in semi-public life, a
great number of men who feel that
riches. as well as noblesse. oblige. 1t
would be a superfiuous task to enumerate
them-the men in whom a social con-
science has been developed and who find
the performance of public duties more
attractive than polo or golf.

to feel ashamed of their sin or folly but
only sense OF fierce resentment against
the one who dared toment.on what they
themselves were not ashamed to do, and
their one desire is to ;nf1ict vengeance

true that men will seek to slay the faith

their sins. though that prophets death
would avert the consequences of their
outrageous wrong rather than seek for
pardon, which would bring them peace.
From the time OF righteous Abel unto
the present hour. the penalty of the

has added TO the list. and this age not
less than those before of those who have
had TO suffer for no more srievous Of
Tense than that of having dared to chal-

the will and plans of God.

MINING NEWS
ARIZONA HAS RICH
DEPOSITS Of COAL
Lack of Transportation Fa-
cilities Alone Prevents
Successful Operation.

Washington, D. c, June 5.-Although
Arizona has produced no coal on a
commercial. scale. it contains promising
fields. which may be profitably ex-
plotted when transportation is afford
ed and when population and manufac-
lures have reached a point which viii
provide a market for the output The
more important Of these fields are the
Black Mesa coal fields, in the HOpi
and NavOjO indial1 reservations, which
are included within COcOnino, Navajo
and Apache counties, and the Deer
Creek field, in the extreme eastern end
Of Pinal county.
The United States geological survey
estimates that the coal land in the
Black Mesa fields covers $500 square
miles, and that the fields contain a.
OS2, 100000 short tons, of which $780,
100000 tons are recoverable, the rest
being under very heavy cover. The
Deer Creek coal field includes an area
Of 80 square miles in the middle Of the
copper producing region of Arizona,
and, estimating that a inches of coal
extends through the 80 square miles
the coal beds contain about $4,000, 900
short tons.
In these fields there are two grades
of cOal-One q hard black coal. well
adapted for transportation and for
commercial uses and also possessing
some cOking quality the other a soft
badly crushed coal, which carries a
high percentage of ash and could
probably not be marketed except very
locally. Tt is believed. however, that as
this lower grade Of coal is high in
volatile matter it could be used for
the manufacture Of gas, to be piped
to the places Of consumption or used

First National Convention

When the country was young and the
voters comparatively few in number
national conventions were not thought
OF. Washington was taken by unani-
nous consent, Adams as his legitimate
successor. Jefferson as the natural
leader Of the Republicans. as the
anti-FederaIists were then called, and
Madison and Monroe as prominently
fitted by training and experience.
When the party spirit became strong
the nominating was done by congress
