HEATING BY OIL.

The announcement to the effect that one of New York city's largest hotels is planning to imm ediately con- vert it's heating system into one which will use oil as a fuel instead of coal, at a cost of about S15.0OO, gives, we believe. an accurate forecast of what the larger buildings and even the homes are eventually coming to. The use of oil must grow and there are many argum ments for the scheme.
 In Texas and other oil bearing communities there has been millions of dollars expended during the past few years in the development of the fields. The investing public has thrown it's money into oil companies with a Jealousy that borders on recklessness Many wells have been brough in, too manN--for the reason that there are not the proper ia cilities for refining the product. We now have, bearing more wells than our retineries may take care of. This is not entirely waste, but there are some fields where to "cap" a well is to lose It. Others have been capped and may be opened at some future time, when the

As to a Lottery Loan.

For the Actors Home.
(New- York Tim es.)

-Fifty-three theaters in New York and leading ~ theaters everywhere through out the country will give spe- cial matinees on Friday, the proceeds of which will go to the Actors Home
 Since it's founding in 1882 the in
 mates have been comfortably sup
 ported in their old age; but with the
 rapid increase in the profession, an increasing number of cases have taxed and overtaXed it's resources, of
 late years many pathetic and de-
 serving applicants nave perforce
 been refused.
 There never was a time when the
 claims of the profession were so
 widely recogniZeG Among all the or-
 sanizations that helped to sustain the
 morale of our men in France. that of the actors was perhaps most welcome.
 Many a city lad was refreshed by a
 breath from the old world of peace-
 time recrea tion. almost forgotten in
 the grim business of war: and many
 a. lad from the country received his
 initiation into the enchanted land of
 the. tootlights. Strong as the sym pa thy between actor and public is al- ways, the two years in France gave lt:a new strength and charm.
 The appeal of old age and destitu- ton is always poWerflH; but in men
 and women of the theater it is per haps strongest of all. They ale by na- ture optimistic generous, improvi- dent. The rare faculty of living wholly in the mood of the moment is the very essence of the actors art. To cheer us all onward in a world which most find dark enough, they ] sing in the sunlight of their spirits | as if there were no such thing as 1 Winter. When Winter actually comes, 1 and their singing no longer rejoices 1 us the very least we can do is 70 1 share the store of worldly goods 1 which is the reward of our more ! prosaic natures.
 The fund is already approa ching 1 the half million ma rk. With the pro- 1 ceeds of tomorrows many matinees, 1 it should give to the old house on staten lSland the power to open it's
 doors to all really worthy applicants

Raise Goats.
{New Haven Union )

fNeW" Haven 'CnlOn)
 Readers, let:us consider the hum ble and yet at times militant goat for few minutes. We learn from the Field and Farm, edited by the we'll known Western writer. l.. M. Wilcox, and. published in Denver. that the goat is a money-make for it's owner. Goats give milk-ahd, if well fed. plenty of it-which is more nutritious than cows milk. The cream makes first rs ts cheese and butter. and goats ilk cannot be beaten for ice cream or for condensatio and canning. Also goat meat is good to eat. Rob inson Crusoe lived on it for years and drank the milk of the goats which he kept. >S(:..
 The Field and Farm says: > As grazer the goat beats even the sheep" It will eat coarse fora ge that other animals will not touch and thrive on it. A good goat giving sew eral quarts of milk day, can he kept at little expense on any commuters

Coal Profits.
Providence ;JournaD


 X resolution offered in the senate seeks to obtain from the treasury de- pa rtment the facts about coal profits a question which the" recent sensa- tional utterance of :, former Secretary McAdoo has made of some public in terest. The eX-secretary of the treasury. as well as the secretary knows of course what the facts are. and there may be suspicion that if the former had told all he knew his statement about ''fabulous' earnings would not be so startling as it was.
 Coal operators, unQuestionablY made eXtraordinary profits during the war, as producers of other necessities did-aS farmers did. a wage earners did. The government intended they should. and took it's share in war taxes. All the coal possible had to he got out. and scale of prices was made high enough to induce even bankrupt concerns to work up to one hundred per cent of the mne-na- turallN owners of mines that normally earn a profit were correSpondingly en- rich ed
 It would not be surprising if the actual facts should show that the com panies which made, fla b,rlous" profits were very small ones. Attention has already been called to such examples. One concern that earned over three hundred per cent on*its invested cap ial before taxes. had an invested cap ital of trifle over thousand dollars. After paying taxes. it's plutOcratic owners. if indeed there was more than one, divided the munifcent sum Of three thousand dollars-trulN hor ! rible case of proiteering.

A recent despatch from Peoria, Ill.,, reports the death Of J. H.. Monroe, a veteran of the Civil war. Mr. Mon roe was the drummer Boy of Shiloh" who was shown in marble in many old time statues, and whose fame was blazed forth viNidlN in every little red schoolhouse of the midwest fifty years ago as the principal character in home made war dramas of the same name. These productions afforded the first sight of red fire to many who were confirmed theatergOe"s in later life.
