AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Mammoth Revival Of Planquette's
"Chimes of Normandy" Tonight.

Mammoth Revival of Planquette's
"Chimes of Normandy" Tonight
Following their remarkably successful
revival of Balfe's "The Bohemian Girl
the Aborn Comic Opera company, toward
the end of last season produced THE
Chimes of Normandy" in few OF the
larger cities. In this as in the cases OF
the Balfe opera, everything has been
done on gigantic lines. An immense or
ganization including cast of well
known Aborn favorites, large chorus,
special orchestra, and unusual features,
the latter employed to realize fully the
opportunity offered for the introduction
in the fair scene. That a special train
is required for the transportation Of this
company will best convey an idea as
to its size. The "Chmes of Normandy"
will be presented at the Barre opera
house to-night.-Ady.

part of the state. The total area un-
derlain by coal in the eastern counties
of Kentucky is estimated at 1920
square miles, and the coal bearing areas
in the western part of the state are es-
timated to contain 6,400 square miles.
Up to the close of 1911 the larger part
of the production of the state has been
from the western district, but as result
of extensive developments in Harlan,
Johnson, Letcher, and Pike counties, the
larger part of the coal production in
1912 was from the eastern part of the
state. The eastern Kentucky Goals are

KENTUCKY BREAKS COAL RECORD
Last Years Production Shows Increase
of Nearly 100000 Tons.

J The production of coal in Kentucky
established a new record in 1912 with a
total production of l6,490,52l short tons,
according to Edward W.. Parker, coal
statistician of the United States geo
logical survey. This large output rep
resented an increase Of 2,440.Sl8 tons
over the figures for l9ll, and of nearly
100000 tons over the former maximum
output of 1910. There was an even
greater increase in value in 1912, name
ly, S2,S45,749 over the figures for 1911.
The increased production in Kentucky
was due chiefly to the new developments
in the eastern part of the state, al
though the western counties participated
largely in the gain.
The number of men employed in the
mines in 1912 was 24,304, and the aver
age production per man, 67S tons. Ken
lucky ranks second among the states
in the percentage of coal produced by
machines, Ohio holding first place. In
1912, 66 per cent of the coal produced
was machine mined. Labor troubles
in the state were insignificant during
the year, but according to the United
States bureau of miles there were 81
fatalities in and about the mines, Al
underground, in shafts, and on the
surface.
State Has Great Coal Reserve.
Kentucky is the only one of the coal
producing states which has within it's
borders areas belonging to any two of
the distinctly separate great coal fields.
The eastern counties of the state are
underlain by the coal beds of the great
Appalachian mountain system, extend
ing entirely across the state in north
east southwest direction, while the
southern limits of the central or east
ern interior coal field are found in the

RANDOLPH
Clarence Webster's Barn Was Burned
Saturday.

! An alarm of fire was sounded about
ten o'clock on Saturday forenoon, and
the fire company found the fire to be
the barn of Clarence Webster. The fire
had progressed so rapidly that nothing
could be done to save the barn, which
was entirely destroyed in short time.
The attention of the company was at
once directed to saving the other build
ings which fortunately were not burned,
although the household furniture was
somewhat damaged by being taken from
the house. All the stock was saved
from the barn but all the hay and grain
! from the seasons harvest We're con-
sumed. The fire was caused by the ex-
ploson of a gasoline engine, used Tor
cutting ensilage, with which they were
filling the silo. Numerous reports are
abroad some to the effect that the gas
oline was leaking, and match was
| lighted which caused the gasoline to
take fire. The fire quickly spread, and
there being no water, only what was
brought from the river, there was no
help. Charles Howard, who was rum
ming the machine, was burned quite
badly about his hands, in trying to re-
move the tank.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR MAR
COM.

An Italian name like "GuglieImo
Marconi' suggests to many persons
the thousands Of humble toilers who
sell fruit and dig bitches. Perhaps
that is one reasons why a little spir-
it of detraction of Mr. Marconi's a.
chievements has always been mani
tested. Over in England, too, he
is not wholly acceptable, as his
mother and his wife were both
Irishwomen.
The announcement just made by
Mr. Marconi that vocal sounds had
been sent by wireless telephone
across the Atlantic is one more
triumph. His statements have al
ways been governed by such retic-
ence that this. may indicate much
larger possibilities than his first
words admit.
When Mr.. Marconi is interviewed
the reporters. say his modesty is
painful. He always speaks of "our"
Instruments and mechanfsms, instead
of mine, . In this he is no exoep-
ton, however, as the attitude of the
scientific investigator is always diff
ferent from that of the man Of a

ers, with aftermath of hospital trea.-
ment and locdaw SIS.
Similarly with Thanksgiving day
When the old timers gathered for
family prayer, it was no perfunctory
or formal ritual, but a real, often am
emotional outpoUring. The churches
were filled with black coated men,
and such wcmcn as could be spared
from the critical hour of cooking the
dinner.
The occasion had an interesting
tang of intellectual politics. The old
timers would gather from many miles
to hear noted parsons preach poIiti-
cal sermons.
The modern observance has social
charm and culture. The Thanhsgiv-
ing feast shows an exterior Of fin
ished detail that the palmer life Of
the fathers never knew Manners
have improved, the voices of the
women are less high pitched, the
motions Of the men less rustic. The
Thanksgiving dinner now has a
grace that the husk old holiday
never knew.
But in the majority of homes, it
is forgotten that this feast is a
recognition Of the kindness and
mercy Of the Power above us, an
occasion suggesting humility of heart
and gratitude of soul, in view of
lifeis blessings.
One side of the feast shows ad-
vance. Probably there were never
so many works of charity performed
as now. Our eyes may be partly
blinded by too materialistic lives to
the vision of the unseen. But al
least they are open wider to the
call Of the poor and needy

A good home is not purchased with
money nor can it be maintained by
hireings. In the most magnificent
mansions are sometimes found the
most desolate and, unhappy hearts.
Are they being trained in lines that
promise perpetuation of the joys of
this most sacred place? Are the
scenes and surroundings of their
lives such as to make it easy and
natural to travel in those paths
that lead to long and continued
peace? Are not some of the so
called best parents thoughtlessly
teaching their wee ones dishonesty
and falsehood, and by their examples
establishing id1eness and frivolty as
the summum bonum Of life? The pal
ent who makes a threat he does not
intend to fulfill, is planting seeds Of
untruthfulness in the youths mind,
that if it does not. yield crop OF
falsehood, will one of disrespect for
the unWise parents. %

WATER
SUPPLY

The new water plant near the cor
ner of Oak and Sixteenth streets is
completed While this plant has
been in operation practically all
summer and has furnished the larg-
er part of the city supply of water,
the buildings used were only temper
airy Now the buildings are all com
plete and the connections made perm
anent.
The pumping station is a one story
building built of Stanley red brick
and has a cement and gravel roof.
The floor of the building is concrete.
The water is drawn from six wells
by a pump which has acapacity of
500 gallons a minute. The city owns
30 acres of land, where these wells
are located and there is every indi-
cation that the entire piece will be
productive of good water. The pres
ent supply seems inexhaustible.
When the pumps have drawn the
water down to a depth of IA feet
below the surface of the ground, it
has been found impossible to lower
it a fraction of an inch beyond that.
which shaws that, even with the
pumps going "a hours steadily, there
is abundant water.
The old wells near the river could
not possibly have supplied the city
this summer as about the best they
can do now is to provide water for
two days out of the seven each week
Mayor Cohen in speaking of the
new wells and pumping station said,
Il consider this the best thing that
ever happened to the city and the
best move made by the present ad-
ministration. If the supply of water
lasts five years, l consider that it
is a good investment"

Life is too short to give up all to
business and nothing to pleasure and
rest. Too many people defraud their
stomach, head and heart until they
have made a competency. When
they expect to enjoy the pleasure of
life they are generally too old, or
their greed for money has tried up
all the well springs of their being
and they are incapable of enjoy

to business and your leisure hours
to innocent pleasure and wholesome
amusement and the cultivation OF
such things as will make life pleas

History repeats itself. Harper's
Weekly has brought to light the fact
that our pure food law labels are old
and antique. In 900 B. c. the ancient
Hebrews made the wholesale grocers
and wine dealers of their day put
such seals and labels ON their wine
and oil jars. They stated when the
wine was deposited in the cellars
and where the wine came from. On
the oil jars the label read ga jar
of pure OIL with the name Of the
district producing it. Seventy five
of these records were found. They
show that even in the days of King
Ahab the government protected the
stomachs of its citizens.
