THE RICHEST MAN.

Not to Mr.. Rockefeller but to Mr..
Romanoff belongs this distinction.
The car of Russia has so much
money, according to report, that It
can not be counted" The wealth
that he controls as head of the Rus
sian church and as absolute monarch
Of his dominions is estimated at about
thirty-five billion dollars, the value Of
all the property in the empire. His
personal income alone is said to be
more than half million dollars a day.
Most of the cars wealth." accord
ing to supposed authority, "is de-
rived from landed possessions, of
which he has nearly 15O,OOO,OOO acres,
hree quarters Of which is rich timber
yielding big rentals. The other quar-
ter is mining land. Siberia's mines
are owned by the car, while his jew
alry and art works are of fabulous
worth. His state income is about ten
nillion dollars, out of which, how
r,er, he provides for the upkeep of
lore than a hundred palaces and pays
The expenses Of the court, with its
thirty thousand servants, five thousand
lCrses, several thousand soldiers
many detectives and no less than 23O

Schemes for the more or less equal
distribution of wealth are impractic-
able, being little more than such
stuff as dreams are made Of" for they
take no account of the accidents of
fortune or of either the vast variety
in opportunity or of the marked in
equality in human talents and capacity
for accumulation. But who can blame
the struggling reformers of Russia
for contending that the mere accident
of birth should not add such unlimited
wealth to such unlimited power in the
hands of a single weak, fallible mortal

sometimes of less than average desire

PECULIAR OPERATION
Ashland Man WIN Have His Upper
Jaw Severed From His
Lower Jaw.

Willie Blanton, aged rs years, an
employee Of the A. G. & l., at Ash
land, left that city for Louisville,
where he will undergo what is said to
be the only operation of its kind ever
known in surgery-the severing of
his upper jaw from the lower one.
The victim of this strange afflic-
ton says that for over sixteen years
nothing as large as rice grain has
entered his stomach other than a
tooth which was knocked loose into
his mouth, and which he was COM
PEELED to swallow, as he could not
spit II out.
Blanton says that all the solid food
he has been able to eat since he was
about years old was what he could
crowd between his teeth, such as mush
and mashed potatoes. The afflicted
man says that his jaw bones grew to-
gether while he lay in a comatose
condition for weeks. following an at
tack of typhoid fever.
Nine days ago Blanton was ex-
posed to the measles and fear of be-
coming sick caused him to have his
teeth removed so that he would have
an opening between his gums. Satur-
day evening he visited DR.. George
Bell who extracted eleven teeth.
When DR.. Bell learned that Blan-
ton was working as a day laborer to
support his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Blanton of Argelite, KY, he became
interested in securing permanent re-
lief and made arrangements with DR..
Grant and DR.. Abel, surgeons of Lou
isville, to perform an operation free
of charge, and also raised a sum of
money by popular subscription to
send Blanton to Louisville and furnish
him the money he will need while
there. From the money he secured,
DR.. Bell also gave Blanton some
money for his mother.
Blanton's jaws seem normal eX-
cept where they are grown together
a short distance from each corner of
the mouth. He can talk so as to be
easily understood and his body is far
better nourished than would be ex-
pected.
Blanton's affliction is thought to
be the first and only case of its kind

THE GOOD OLD WOODEN SHIPS.

the despised wooden vessel Of the old

modern steel craft. A steel ship serv-
iceable after fifty years of use is I'M

wooden ships still in commission after
more than half century of service.

RIVER COMBINE
Moves Its Coal Docks To Huntington
and WIN Handle West Virginia
and Kentucky Coal Only.

Docks Of the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany, a S6O,OO0,OOO corporation, are
being moved to Huntington, and II
will market large quantities OF Goa,
over the tipple of the Island Greek
Fuel Company there.
The company will this week estab.
lish an office in that city in charge
OF Captain William G. CHASER, who is
superintendent OF the southern rivers
division.
AS a starter the company has en-
tered into a contract for 100000 tons
of coal from the Logan field, and this
will go to the southern markets as
rapidly as the boats can be operat-
ed
The deal means that Huntington
has acquired an industry representing
an investment Of more than $4,000,
and which will employ at the outse,
from fifty to sixty men, with pros
poets Of enlargement in future years
There will be located at Hunting
ton an average of from $50 to 200
coal boats and coal barges, as well as
steamers and the docks, which will be
located near the tipple of the Island
Creek Fuel Company.
The reason for the removal of the
Pittsburg company's docks to that
city is said to be that all coal from
the company's mines in western
Pennsylvania is now being bought by
the industries of that locality, and that
the company to take care of its large
West Virginia coal At the same time
the advantage Of a shorter haul to the
southern markets is taken into con-
sideration. In past years the COM
pany has shipped 100000 tons an
nually to ports as far south as New
Orleans. Opening up of mines in AL
ALBANIA and in western Kentucky has
served to cut down that output from
the mines of western Pennsylvania.
The company, however, still has
lrge patronage and will send coal
from Kentucky as well as West Vir-
ginia 1t is believed the 100000 ton
contract will be followed by others
equally as large or larger, and tina,
there is excellent possibility of en-
larging even the new Huntington base
by additional docks, steamers, coal
boats and barges.
The Pittsburg Coal Company re-
Gently absorbed the Monongahela Con-
solidated Coal & Coke Company, which
was called the combine, as il origin
ally was the product of merger of
several coal and river companies.
The docks will arrive in Hunting
ton late this week and are now en-
route.
Work of loading coal on barges will
begin just as soon as they can be es-
tablished.

ENCLAND'S FORETHOUGHT.

The English foresee that when the
war ends and millions of men return
TO the pursuits of peace the difficulties
of readjustment will cause much in
dustrial disturbance and that probably
many eX-soldiers, unable to find suit
able openings, will be disposed to emf
CRATE. Therefore steps are already
being taken to prepare for the expect
ed before an actual and serious prob
lem is at hand. 1t is proposed to at
tract emigrating soldiers to points
within the empire and thus provide
against the loss involved in their set
Element in the United States or South
America. With this end in view Sir
Rider Haggard, the novelist, who is a
student of land settlement and unem-
ployment, has already been sent to
South Africa, and he will visit Aus
tralia, New Zealand and Canada.
Before he sailed he was quoted as
lOllONbs OuCu men as are DeluB
considered as possible emigrants
would, taken as a whole. be of the
very highest class, soldiers and sail
ors who had been under discipline and
shown themselves to possess the best
qualities of manhood. Any portion of
the colonies should be proud to sec
such men and their womankind arrive
as an addition to their population. and
| am quite sure that many parts of the
empire will welcome them" Undoubt-
eddy, but the colonies may find it nee
essary to bestir themselves and offer
inducements If they wish to Offset the
temptation offered by the lure of UNI
developed wealth in South America
and the superior opportunities to be
found in the United States. The pre-
occupied and care-burdened British
government is exhibiting unexpected
forethought in this matter.
