Coal in Greenland seems as much out of place as palm trees, yet. on two occasions, coal found in the cliffs of a snow-clad, ice-bound island was used TO fill the empty bunkers of a ship whose lack of fuel led her com mander to fear that he would never escape the clutches of the eternal frost. The coal can never be mined for commercial purposes, but it is there—long, honest ledges of it—and it is to be had for the asking. A restaurant for concentrated food is to be started in Paris by an en terprising French chef. The happy diner will enjoy a menu of tableoids. From (he liors d'oeuvres to dessert his entire meal will be presented to him in a few square inches. In this way a busy man will be able to eat his dinner in a few minutes and carry it. about with him in his waistcoat pocket to swallow in spare moments. Kven drinks are provided in the same form. In a certain hairdresser's establish ment in Paris it is now possible to ob tain a genuine "lightning hair-cut.'' The shearing is done with a comb which has a wire stretched along the tipper portion of the teeth. This wire is connected with a storage battery, which renders it red-hot as soon as the current is switched on. It is then passed through the hair and, of course, regulated in such a manner that the hair can be singed off at &ny length. Miss Jessie M. Fry is one of the successful ranchers of Idaho.

Her hist sale was 50 head of horses to Great Britain for ser vice in the Transvaal. A new church was opened recently at Xotting Hill, London, the chairs in ■which are most comfortable and con venient, and nearly 400 of them have been presented by individuals unable to give larger sums. They are not only furnished with accommodation for books and umbrellas, but there is a place between each chair for a hat, which solves the hat difficulty. They are also so fastened together as to prevent the disagreeable noise when movable chairs are used. Tt is somewhat unusual for patrons of a telephone system to talk over a broken wire, but such was the case when a wire on the line of the Del aware. and Atlantic Co. became sev ered. The conversation was indis tinct, however, and the linemen made sin investigation. Near the town it •was found that the wire had been broken, but both ends were lying in a ditch about a foot apart. A heavy rain had wet the ground, and thus made the connection over the wet <earth for that distance. THE SUBSIDY WILL COME UP. Certainty of tin* Return of the Ship ping Uill ut I In- Neil Session. One of the subjects that is certain to receive early attention when con gress meets again is that of a subsidy system for American ships. The meas ure under consideration during the last session failed fur various reasons. Among them cannot be included strong public hostility, for as far as the American people generally are con cerned they have shown no decided antagonism toward such a project. There may have been indifference in certain quarters, but this was flue to a lack of a thorough understanding of the matter, and because of incom plete knowledge as to how closely as sociated with the common welfare is the interposition of this form of en couragement to our mercantile ma rine. In some directions, to be sure, there lias been active and very energetic opposition. ' Naturally the foreign transportation companies which are drawing annually from American pockets scores of millions of dollars to pay for passengers and freight car ried into and out of American ports object to any change that will lessen their profits. As most of them get biL' subsidies and subventions in one form or another from their govern ments, the money which Americans pay them goes to swell very fat divi dends, and it is not surprising that they do not wish any interference with this pleasant little arrangement. They have spared no pains to abandon the subsidy idea, and there are not wanting indications >of their cunning work even in Washington, where their agents have skillfully used whatever influence tliey could exert in bringing members of congress to their way of thinking. And of course our free trade friends j fire against shipping subsidies to the ; bitter end. They always have been j against every thing' in the shape of pro tection to American industries, and notwithstanding the amazing develop ment of our foreign trade under the much-abused Oinglev tariff,they are as uncompromisingly for the abolition of the protective tariff system as ever. And as subsidies for ships come under the head of protection to an important American interest they are "dead sci in their opposition. They hold up Eng land as an object lesson in free trade, but they deliberately ignore the fact that of all countries in the world Eng land does more, in the way of favoring its ocean marine through subsidies of various kinds and In the enforcement of rules and regulations which give it a better chance for profitable employ ment, than is done for the ships of any of the compel ing commercial nations. The American people are coming to he familiar with all these points and to comprehend the motives that lie behind the hostility to shipping sub sidy measures. The new congress, when it assembles, will have a clearer comprehension of the matter than any which has preceded it.and it will be backed up by a public, sentiment which fully realizes the importance of en couraging our shipping if we are to reapalltheadvantagesnat urally accru ing to us as a result of our expanding foreign trade. There isnodoubt that a shipping subsidy bill will lie promptly introduced. And when it comes upfor discussion its friends will have strong er arguments in its behalf than any they have previously urged. A bill pro viding adequate protection for Amer ican shipping should be law before this time next year.—Troy Times. PRESS OPINIONS. CAB is quiet and promising in the new possessions.

It did not need the action of the Ohio democrats to prove that. The utterances of lead ing democratic newspapers all over the country show that the drift of party sentiment is decidedly against him.

SCHEMES OF DEMOCRATS. The Ohio Coni|»roii>ltte ut ('oluuiboi Neither Impressive Nor Formidable, The injection of much Johnson ism into the platform adopted by the democratic state convention recently and fhe nomination of a McLean ticket, may be taken as evidence that the two millionaire bosses of the Ohio democracy realized the neces sity, from the practical point of view, of making at least such a show of harmony so that they might have some faint chance of enough success at the polls to make it worth while to fight their quarrels out in the legislature. They both know that there is only the forlornest sort of a forlorn hope for a Hourbon majority in the gen eral assembly to be elected next fall, but they also understand that with out a fair show of outward peace and good will there could be no chance whatever for anything more than the unenvious position of chief mourner at their party's funeral. Johnson stakes much upon his catchy theories of taxation. He realizes, as Bryan, the leader so late ly passionately admired and eagerly followed by Ohio democrats and so easily and coldly turned aside at Co lumbus, never did, the force of the pocket nerve in politics. He appeals to tax [layers in the guise of a re former who would lighten their bur dens by laying more of the weight of taxation on the great corporations. 1 So Johnson was given a wide swath to reap in the phrase-making work | of the convention. McLean wants a solid organization and the control of patronage, if the fates should be kind to Ohio bour bons this year. So he took the tick et. Both magnates united in kicking to flic rubbish heap all free silver nonsense and pretty much everything else that looked like Bryanism. The old radicalism of the Nebraska ora tor is rejected, and the power of leaders, some new and others veter ans, who want to get far away from the issues of ISOO and 1900, is appar ent in the work of the Columbus con vention. All this scheming does not mean anything more serious than hard and loyal work for the republicans of Ohio. They must not let the cam paign go by default, in their e::trcme confidence of victory at the poUs. That sort of thing is ruinous. Hut with proper effort and reasonable care, all of Johnson's theories and phrases and all McLean's candidates and organizers can lie buried deeply under a republican majority running well up the recent Ohio average. The Columbus compromise is neither impressive nor formidable. It is only a r.ew exhibition of trickery by party bosses and fresh proof of the power of ambitions wealth in the Ohio dem ocracy.—Cleveland Leader. BIRTH OF A NEW PARTY. Probability of Mr. Ilryan's Having; a Forty That Will He All 12 i M Own. The birth of a new "third" party cannot be said to be an event of great novelty in this country. Tt would be conservative to estimate the number of "third" parties now existing, or claiming to exist, at a dozen or more. The third party manufacturers are not, it seems, affected by the prevail ing impulse toward combination and consolidation. We can think of noth ing which could cause a consolidation, unless, perchance, one third party should secure by some means a pat ent on the initiative and referendum. Then it would have to absorb all the others, for no self-respecting third party -ould exist without a platform including a demand for the initiative and referendum. The latest addition to the third par ty list comes from Kansas City, where the "allied third party" is being cra dled. Its statement of principles eon tains many old friends. Perhaps the most interesting plank is that relat ing to the currency, declaring that. "Whatever is used as money should be full legal tender, issued by the gen era! government in sufficient volume for business purposes,and that volume fixed in proportion to population." This certainly ought to please the. most exacting of the various orders of fiat honey men. It lacks the definite ness, perhaps, of some of the other schemes for making money free to all, but it w ill be quite as effective as any. There seems to be some dispute as to the relation of Mr. W. J. Bryan to tbi:- new party. The active organizer, Air. Lee Meriwether, made a pilgrim age to Lincoln, and since then has been throwing out hints to the effect that Mr. Bryan is "with" the scheme, but Mr Bryan is reticent. When Mr. Bryan is reticent it is certain that something is brewing. lie is not naturally reti cent. Mr. Bryan's friends say that he has not connected himself with the al lied party. They suggest, and it is quite credible, that Mr. Bryan thinks lie may find tin- party useful later, but cannot tell now—that it depends on the temper of the democratic party. If this is true, it is hoped that the democratic party will get into a ter i iHe temper, for really Mr. Bryan ought to have a party all his own.— N. Y. Tribune. CThe Massachusetts democrats talk of turning: down T'.r.yan and help ing to elevate Tom Johnson to the leadership of tlie national party. Do the democrats of the great common wealth believe that the elevation of Jolinsonism means the suppression of J'ryanism. If so we beg 1 them to put a calm eye on Tom .Johnson's Ohio platform, which is full of denun ciations and heresies. .Jolinsonism is only another name for Bryanism.— Albany Journal. A BOGUS CORN POOL. A. Gigantic Kivlndllns Scheme li Ex. poaed by a Chicago Broker. Chicago, July 31.—George If. Phil lips, of the board of trade, reported to the postal authorities his discov ery of an alleged attempt, at a gigan tic swindle. He told Inspector Stu art that the country had been flood ed with circulars emanating from New York asking for subscriptions to a $2,000,000 fictitious pool for a deal in September corn. The address of the "New York of fice" of "Phillips & Company" is given as 0 Wall street. In conclud ing, the circular says: "Our Mr. Phillips and his opera tions in the corn market during the past year a.re undoubtedly well known to you, and we therefore need no further introduction. "It is our purpose to handle this deal in the same conservative manner in which all of our previous opera tions have been conducted, and we have no hesitancy in saying that a much larger profit will be realized by each subscriber to this pool than has yet been shown. "The opportunity to invest SI,OOO, or as much more as you may desire in this syndicate is hereby presented to you. Subscription books will close August 1. You will therefore see the necessity of prompt action on your part. "Make all drafts payable to our New York oflice and treat this com munication as personal and strictly confidential, whether you join us or not, as success depends largely upon the secrecy of our plans and opera tions." WASHBURN HAS A SCHEME. \ I'romtnciit PopnllKt I'roposes to Promote u Combine of Cotton I'lant em. Boston, July 31. —George F. Wash burn, president of the Commonwealth club, of this city, sailed for Europe yesterday to inquire into the co-op erative methods of several bodies in England, Belgium and Switzerland, with a view to the formation of a $50,000,000 cotton combination in this country. According to an interview Mr. Washburn has worked out. a plan to unite the cotton producers of the south into one great co-operative trust with headquarters at St. Louis and central warehouses in Memphis. He said he had been selected for this mission because of the special study he had made of co-operation from a business man's standpoint; that in his judgment the only way to meet the capitalistic combinations and trusts was to organize better and bigger ones in the interests of the producers. Mr, Washburn said that the appli cation of the idea to the cotton in dustry was made because the plant ers, being men of means, can unite in a co-operative business movement and effect a tremendous saving to themselves. Mr. Washburn, who in two national campaigns was a national executive I committeeman of the people's party, was asked if his plan had any politi cal significance, and he said only in so far as it was successful, and in that case it would have a far-reach ing effect along political lines in the west and south. A SENSATIONAL SPEECH. A Ilrmocrat Leader Ilcnoiincej the Flan to IllHlraiiclilftp Alabama >i— i; roe*. Montgomery, Ala., July 31.—The constitutional convention yesterday adopted Section 4 of the suffrage ar ticle, which includes the "grandfath er clause" and other qualifications for the electorate, but not until Mr. Lowe, of Jefferson, who is chairman of the state democratic committee, had made a sensational speech de nouncing the whole scheme. The amendment of ex-Oov. Oates to ex clude deserters and sons of deserters from the benefits of the "grandfath er clause" was under consideration when Mr. Lowe, arising to a point of personal privilege, declared that he stood with Senators Pettus and Mor gan against the suffrage plan. He said it was plainly evident that the purpose of the convention was to perpetuate fraud in Alabama and that the people of Alabama are in open revolt against the plan of th* majority. ■ HAVE DOUBLED IN VALUE.

A Notorious Anarchiftt I« Arretted to Stvllzcrliiiid—Ha* a Bad Itecord, Zurich, Switzerland, Aug. 1. —An an archist named (Jalliotti was arrested at Vied ikon Monday by order of bho prosecutor general, on information received from I'aterson, New Jersey. Many documents were 'found at his lodgings. I'aterson, N. J.. Aug. I.—lt devel ops that Galliotti's name was con nected with the story which was circulated months ago in I'aterson that King Humbert's death was sought by anarchists. At that time Careno Kossinni, foreman In a dye works at I'aterson, was shot, and killed by Guiseppi Sperenzi. The latter was cornered and when th? po lice were closing in on him he shot himself. There was a letter found on him which told of the plot to kill King' Humbert. It called on Speren zi to act as one of 27 men to leave this country to wreak vengeance on the crowned heads of Europe. A few weeks afterwards King Humbert was assassinated. It is now said that the letter found on Sperenzi was signed by Galliotti. It has always been claimed that Spe renzi's killing of the foreman was to make up for his refusal t>o be one of those togo to Kurope. It is recalled tihat (Jalliotti when lie lived in Paiterson 'had one pet hobby and this he was forever preach ing to his countrymen. This was the reclaiming of the Hackensaek mead ows and the building thereon of a city, the inhabitants of which would be devoted to the cause of anarchy. Hut no money was ever forthcoming to carry out the idea. WAR IN SOUTH AMERICA. An luviiKion of Venezuela by Colom bian Hebelw I'.imlk In Their Defeat. Washington, Aug. 1. —The state de partment has received the following telegram from the American legation at Caracas: "Martial law has been declared in Venezuela by the president of the country, in consequence of the inva sion of a revolutionary force from Colombia." New York, Aug. I.—Gonzales Este ves, consul general cf Venezuela, said last night: "I have just received a cable message from President Castro which says that Dr. ltangel Garviros has been routed on the Colombian frontier. A battle has been fought between the revolutionists and our government. We have achieved a great victory and Venezuela is at peace." Geti Rafael Uribe, who is again battling in Colombia for liberal su premacy, has been declared an out law by the Colombian government. This action carries with it a confisca tion of his property. It is threat ened that if he again dares to enter the country, whether in time of peace or war, he will be imprisoned for life. The above statements appear in the Times to-day and also the following: Gen. Herbert O. Jeffries, adjutant general of the department of Pana ma, who is in the city, announces that the object of his visit is to purchase a vessel to be used on the coast as a gunboat. The department of Pana ma, which acts independently oif the federal government, has recently shipped several cannon from this port. WILL TEST THE LAW. New York (Gambler* Claim that the I'enal Code of that State In I'licon- Mlliitioiial. New York, Aug. 1. —The gamblers and pool room proprietors of New York have instituted, through their •attorneys and John It. Dos Passos, counsel, a proceeding to take the ease of Charles Bennett, an alleged associate of"The Allen," to the Uni ted States circuit court on the ground that Sections 343 and 351 of the penal code of this state in regard to gam bling are "Contrary and repugnant to the constitution of the United States and the amendments thereto, and the laws of the United States." Mr. Dos Passos said that if the United States circuit court sustained the allegations that the state laws were unconstitutional, it would have the effect of making illegal the sen tences of all the gamblers raided and afterward convicted by the committee of fifteen, and would necessitate a revision of the laws as they pertain to gambling in the state of New York. This is the first time a step of this character has been taken in this state. A STRIKE THAT GROWS. Non-fnlonlaitft Join the ItankK of the ('■■ ion <>raln Shovclcr* Now Out at \. V. Ogdensburg, N. Y., Aug. I.—After unloading its western freight here yesterday the steamer Haskell went to the elevator at Prescott, Ont., with 30,000 bushels of export grain. The union shovelers refused to work on the steamer, acting on a request from Ogdensburg, and after five hours at the dock, the Haskell returned here and discharged the cargo. All but two of the non-union oper ators of the Westbrook grain shovels at the elevator have joined tlx? strik ers, and foreigners will do the eleva tor work until a settlement is reached. So far there has been prac tically no delay in handling boats and cargoes. The Longshr, "emen's union will in augurate a -•jtiveonent looking to wirds gaining assistance in the strike against the Jutland Transit Co.'s boats at all po-iw from Ogdensburg to Duluth. Threaten a Sympathetic Strike. Seattle, Wash., Aug. I.—A strike of al! unions, which will be as fatal to business in this city as in San Fran cis.'o, is imminent in Seattle. It is stated on good authority that the proposition is being considered earn estly that all men belonging to la bor unions shall walk out simultane ously, in sympathy with the Machin ists' union. The reason given by the men is that the members of the Metal Trades association have declared they .vill not allow their former employes o return to their work on any rea to liable basis, and have simply done this to destroy unionism.' BACTERIA IN COFFEE. Ohio Grocer Convicted of Vlolatln^- tlte l'urc Food Lavr* of the State. Toledo, July 30.—The jury la Judge Meck's court in this city has found James White, a local grocer, guilty of selling' adulterated coffee. The prosecution was based on a package of Arbuckles' Ariosa coffee. The State of Ohio, through the Pure Food Commission, prosecuted. White. The case was on trial for nearly a month and attracted nation al attention. The manufacturers of Ariosa coffee conducted the defense for Grocer White. The best attorneys in the country were retained to defend him but, after a short consultation, a ver dict of guilty was returned by the jury. The State of Ohio considers this a big victory. Pure Food Com missioner Blackburn has been wag ing a warfare on spurious food arti cles and the department has been very successful. The complaint of the State of Ohio was that Ariosa coffee was coated with a substance which concealed de fects in the coffee and made it ap pear better than it is. The State charged that this coating or glazing was a favorable medium for the propagation of bacteria. Prof. G. A. Kirchmaier, of this city, a well-known chemist, was the prin cipal witness for the State. He had made scientific examinations of sam ples of Ariosa purchased in the open, market from Grocer White. He found that each Ariosa berry con tained an average of 300 bacteria. Mr. Kirchmaier further testified that other coffees he examined contained few bacteria or none at all. He de clared that the glazed coffee was not a wholesome food product. Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati,, corroborated the testimony of Prof. Kirchmaier. The State did not pre sent further testimony. The defense, through the Ar buckles, who prepare this glazed cof fee, secured some of the most emi nent chemists and scientists in the United States to give testimony in their behalf. Prof. H. W. Wiley, of the United States Agricultural De partment; Prof. Vaughn, of Ann Ar bor University; Profs. Bleile and' Webber, of the Ohio State University,, were called to defend Ariosa. Dr. Wiley had made a careful examina tion of the method of manufacturing Ariosa. He told of the 19,000,000 eggs used by the Arbuckles yearly in the preparation of this glazing. On this point in cross examination,, the State's attorneys deftly drew from him the information that these eggs might be kept in cold storage by the Arbuckles for a year or two at a time. The experts who heard Dr. Wiley's testimony were pleased to be able to "catch" so famous a chemist. The doctor at one point in his testimony explained very clearly how it is that the egg put into the coffee pot by the housewife settles the coffee. He said that the heat coagulates the egg, and as it sinks to the bottom of the pot it carries the fine particles of the coffee with it, and thus clari fies the drink. It is the act of coagulation in the coffee pot that does the work. Later on in his cross' examination, he had to admit that when the egg was put on Ariosa cof fee at the factory, it became coagu lated, and as egg cannot be coagu lated but once, that the coating on. coffee was of practically no value as a "settler" wheu it reached the cof fee pot. Prof. Wiley acknowledged that the glazing might be a favorable medium for the propagation of bacteria, al though be would not testify positive ly either way because he was not a bacteriologist. Prof. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor Uni versity, also a witness for the Ar buckles, said he found bacteria on. Ariosa coffee. Trof. Bleile, another witness for the defense, found any number of lively bacteria on the Ariosa coffee he examined, and he agreed that glazed coffee surely was a more favorable medium for the propaga tion of bacteria than unglazed cof fee. The verdict of the jury in this case is of national importance because a great many other states have Pure Food Laws like that of Ohio, and it is natural to suppose that similar ac tion will be taken by other Pure Food Commissioners to prevent the sale of glazed coffees. Pure Food Commissioner Black burn says:"The State is very much elated over its victory against this big corporation. We are now con sidering the advisability of inform ing every grocer in the State of Ohio that it is an infraction of the laws to> sell Ariosa, and at the same time*, give warning to consumers that the* coffee is an adulterated food article." I>lM<omfitin£ Comment. A quack doctor stood on his wagon in Chamberlain, selling bis cure-all. A group of people gathered about him, and he undertook to explain to. them the construction of the throat. "My dear friends," he began, "per-- liaps you don't know it, but there are two passages in the throat. One: is called the esophagus, and the ot.h?r the esophagi. Mow, the solid victuals go down the first, and the liquids down the second. Over tho top of the passage is a cover, with a hinge down the middle, and when you swallow beefsteak the little door over the esophagus flies open and the. little door over the other drops, down, and vice versa when you take a drink of coffee." This description proved too mueh for a farmer, who, shaking with laughter, called out in a loud voice: • "Gosh! but those doors go flipper-llopper when a fellow eat* bread and milk."'—Lonaon .Answer*,
