HEIRESS TO FORTUNE.
Mat, Gandin's Sudden Jump from Pov
crtv to Wcnlth.
New York. April 23,-Jrme, Eslantlne
Gautlln, of Wootlcllffe. N. J., alter years
of hard work, lias suddenly found her
self heiress to the enormous fortune of
$17,000,000. Mme. Gaudin wan bom In
the midst of the Pyrenees mountains
some llftv-elcht years ago. Her aunt
and irodmother at that time lived in
California, and by the assistance of an
American lady named Louise Jackson
she come to this country. She at once
set about earning her own living; as a
dressmaker. Aire and 111 health at
length overtook her. and out of her sav-
ings she bought a home at AVoodellffe,
N. J. The iioor woman's funds had
nearly run out when a stranger came
to her house a few weeks ago ana
made some rather pointed Inquiries as
to her Identity, her maiden name, her
relatives, the place of her birth and
her parentage.
It appears that the lost godmother of
Airs. Gaudin hnd married a man named
Plnaud while in France, and had gone
with him to South America, where he
engaged in. the tanning business, there
by making a huge fortune, which he
had very carefully Invested. There was
one child of this union. Around this
child the whole of this story turns. Had
It never been born Mrs. Gaudin would
have remained joor and almost home
less and would have had no expecta
tions nor realizations.
According to the law of France, the
Dlrtn of a child leaves tfc! widow abso
lute possess at his death of one-half
of her husband's fortune. Andre Plnaud
died worth $34,000,000. Mrs. Gaudin is
heiress to her aunt and godmother, and
tier routine is, therefore, $17,000,000.
COLl.EfiF. r.IKLS BATTLE,
Rival Classes at Knox Scratch, Tear
Clothes and Pull Ifhlr.
Galesburg, 111., April 25. A' lively
scrimmage was participated in lust
night by the senior and junior girls of
Knox college. For some time feeling
uetween the classes has run high, and
jr. cropped out during the society meet
ing in the afternoon. The immediate
cause of the contention was the desire
of both classes to hold a meeting in the
same room at the same time.
' The Juniors captured a senior elrl
who was a leader of her class, forced
her into a room nnd then locked the
door and secured it with rones. After
ward they went into the coveted hall
and prepared a programme for class
day. When they came out the senior
girls were In waiting, and there en
sued as brisk a clnss fight as college
rivalry ever produces. The seniors
tried to capture the programme. Dur
ing the melee dresses were disarranged
and ripped, and hair was torn and oth
er slight injuries inflicted. The fracas
caused a sensation In college circles.

Conditions Governing the Anthracite
Industry-Facts and Figures
That Tarry Weight.
Tho fnllowinir timely letter, from tho
pen of Edward H. Sturges. of this city,
apK'ared in Saturday s issue of the
New York Tribune:
The term 'coal baron seems to na e

Kvra their donations to benevolent ob
jects are often regarded as in the na
ture of penitential onerings 10 Bei-ure
peace for the conscience and repose for
the soul.
The subscriber, who has for some
years bet-n a subordinate member of
this piratical brotherhood, now pro
noses, at the risk of self-crimination
and the wrath of his comrades, to 'turn
state's evidence' and reveal the man
ner In which these gentry rob the pub
lic and 1111 their overllowing coffers With
ill-gotten gains. ' t
A FEW DETAILS.
"A few prosaic details are necessary
as preliminary. There are 'barons' und
'barons. Hut tne genuine coia-uiooaea
specimen is the miner and shipper of
anthracite coal. There is too much of
the bituminous variety for the owner
thereof to become very high-handed
und oppressive. As is known to most
newspuper readers, all the 'hard' or
anthracite coal east of the Mississippi
is within a district comprising only a
few thousands of square miles, and
some half a dozen Pennsylvania coun
ties. This limited acreage bus been the
cause of a strife between the differ
ent Interests to secure as much as pos
sible. And when obtained, the cost has
been so great that the excessive inter
est account hus generally compelled de
velopment, for the purpose of securing
an income. The result is an annual
capacity of from 60,000,000 to 65,000.000
tons, and a market for only 4u,000,000,
a condition of affairs not very different
from thut prevailing during the last
few years In other branches of busi
ness. But there Is a great difference
between this business and all others.
It Is this: While the market for an
thracite is continually widening, the
possible output can never be consider
ably Inert-used beyond the ilgures
named. In 1SS0 23,000.000 tons of anthra
cite were sold. In 1S95 the market took
46.000.ooo. Thus the demand has Just
doubled In fifteen years, as it did in
tho previous fifteen. At any like rate of
Incrense, it will only be a few years
before the question will be, How much
can be produced? instead of, How much
can be sold?
WILL SOON BE SCAUCE.
"Just how soon the capacity will be
gin to fall below the present possibility
of production cannot be predicted posi
tively, but certainly within ten or fif
teen years. Anthracite coal will within
a comparatively short time become a
luxury, even at points as near the min
ing regions as New York. If anyone
believes that the writer Is making the
time of unlimited supply too short, let
him examine the field. In the Lacka
wanna and Wyoming regions, which
now produce about 55 per cent, of the
total output, there are many collieries,
now large producers, thut will be as sl-
len,t as the grave within ten years, and
nearly all the others will be shipping
much less than their present capacity.
And there Is little undeveloped terri
tory from which to supply the loss. It
can be done partially by extensions in
the Schuylkill region, but only at a
largely increased cost for mining and
preparing.
"So the Question arises, in this time
of combinations and trusts in nearly
every article that is grown or manu
factured, whether agreements to pre
vent the premature mining and wasting
of this valuable product that can never
be replaced are criminal. Have they
not features that render them far more
justifiable than combinations in sugar,
wheat, tobacco, starch, hardware or
other commodities that can be pro
duced in ever-increasing quantities as
long as the world endures? Is there
any legal or moral requirement com
pelling the owner of this necessary and
limited fuel to furnish it without profit,
or at a loss to himself? That this has
been done, during recent years at least,
will appear later.
THE REAL FACTS.
"Coal shippers may be divided into
two general classes the large corpora
tion, owning both mines and trans
portation, and the Individual operator,
Including the smaller mining corpora
tion. The latter is frequently a good
specimen of the modern spirit of en
terprise and business during. He finds
one or more tracts of land not yet de
veloped nnd In private hands). His first
work Is to obtain a grant, or 'lense,' as
It is called, of the anthracite coal under
these lands, for a term of years, or un
til exhaustion. These leases are at a
llxed rate a ton. The rates now prevail
ing are from 30 to 50. or even 60 cents a
ton for the larger Blzes, according to
location, quality of coal, thickness of
vninu ..tf There is also invnrlnlily n
fixed annual minimum quantity to be
mined or paid for. with strong provi
sions for absolute forfeiture of the lease
in case of failure to comply.
"The leases being closed, the heavy
royalty payments compel prompt ac
tion. Owing to the limited quantity
of territory still undeveloped, any
neighboring coal company will gener
ally contract to carry the conl to mar
ket, nnd often also agree to furnish a
portion of the funds necessary for de
velopment. "So the shafts are sunk, the breakers,
engine and boiler-houses, with the
numerous other appliances, nre erected.
This requires generally about two
years. The expenditure varies from
$7,",000 to $000,000 for a single colliery.
It would be n conservative estimate to
put the overage expenditure at each
as $250,000 before everything Is ready
for a fair output of coal.
Being ready, tho situation of affairs
is this: The operator hns to meet an
annual royalty based on his compulsory
minimum thut nothing but strikes, fires
or serious faults in the mines will ex
cuse him from. He hus also nn invest
ment of $2i0.000 for his plant. He
must, In addition to contlnunl expen
sive repairs, earn not only the Inter
est on this, but also neatly the total
capital invested. Vov when, after ten,
twenty or more years, the coal is ex
hausted his total Investment will nut
realize one-tenlli its original cost. No
one wants n 'bole In the ground' or
useless breakers, so that if a workeil
out colliery will realize 10 per cent, nf
its first cost It is doing exceedingly
well. It follows, therefore, that his
annual output of. sny, 150,000 tons, must
pay him a considerable profit or his
enterprise Is a total failure.
COLD FIGURES.
"Has the result generally been prof
itable? It would seem bo, from tho
eagerness with which nearly every va
cant tract of coal lund has been bought
or leased and developed. There have
been times when the profits were very
large, but they have always been of
short duration, just long enough tn
cause the operators to hope for more
of the same kind. During the eighteen
months following June, 1802, which
have made McLoed's name dear to
every individual operatpr, there waa a
profit to the miner under fair condi
tions of from 25 to 75 cents a ton. The
average would certainly not exceed 50
cents. This surely is not an exorbitant
profit to the man who deals In such a
limited product and must from It re
duce his capital account, as well as
earn a fair interest But whether ex
orbitant or not. it was an experience
that he never had before and is not
likely to see repeated. A careful esti
mate satisfies the writer that individ
ual collieries, with an average Invest
ment of $2.i0,000 have not during at
least seven years of the Inst ten real
ized an average profit of 15 cents a ton.
Ami the fact must not be overlooked
that the individual operators ship near
ly one-third of the total anthracite ton
nage. If the larger corporations, like
the two Delawares,' New Jersey Cen
tral and the Pennsylvania Coal com
pany, have realized any larger profit,
it has been because, owning their coal
lands, they have had no royalty to pay.
Hut their capital or real estate account
hns been continually decreasing in
value to a corresponding amount.
"During the last year, owing to over
production, and tsjieciully to bad mun
ugement, the business has been partic
ularly unprofitable. As nn example, let
me give the actual results at one col
liery, where over $400,000 cash has been
expended in improvements and nearly
seven hundred men and boys are em
ployed :
"In July. 1S93. it shipped 12.S83 tons
und made 8129 02
"In August, 1395, it shipped 8.S52 tons
and lo.it 2,001 '.S

"In January, 1890, It shipped 12,1111
tons and lost 2 224 82
'Mil Februury, 1890, It shipped 7,8311
tons and lost , 2,019 97
CANNOT STOP.
"Eight months' operation shows an
actual net loss of $2,645.47. not including
one dollar for construction, deprecia
tion, Interest on loans, or returns on
Investment. But the most serious fea
ture Is that during thnt time over 105, -1

ty acres of ground, have been wasted.

tho hi..! niiiorio. i .i,.. -i,. .
the best collieries In the region. Its rec
ord Is probably not far from that of the
uverage colliery during th,e same time.
"But, the reader will sny, why don't,
you stop, when you are losing money so
fast? For several reasons. Stopping a
single colliery like the above throws
hundreds of employes out, with slight
possibility of securing work elsewhere.
Then the payments for royalty do not
stop, nor do the expenses for pumping.
ventilating, repairs, etc.. which must
be kept up whether the mine is working
or luie.
"As to the larger corporations, only a
few words are necessary. While, as
stated before, they usually have no
royalties to pay, it is not generally sup-
poseu mat tney mine coal as economic
ally as the private operator, nnd it Is
doubtful if net results nre essentially
different. Their annual reports cer
tainly confirm this view. They repre
sent large aggregations of capital, it is
true. Hut, as a rule, It Is remarkably
free from that objectionable element,
'water.' The stock and bonds of the
anthracite companies generally repre
sent actual cash Investments, in re
markable contrast with modern linan
clul methods. Their coal lands are In
some cases Immensely valuable. But
they were mostly bought many years
since; the interest account has been
running heavily against them, and
their valuable contents are being rap
idly exhausted. It is difficult to see
why the stockholders In these old con
cerns should not secure a fnlr or even
large return on their holdings. They
would do so, almost without exception,
if the officials of them understood how
rapidly their property is being ex
hausted, and proper business methods
were more generally applied.
"And yet, the moment any effort is
made to put this business on a fair
paying basis, the cry of 'combine,'
trusts and 'coal baron' Is raised. "Coal
barren' will soon be nearer the truth.
Combinations are made in nearly ev
ery other Industry, though they repre
sent products that can Increase as long
as time lusts. But none must be made
in the one commodity that is being rap
idly exhausted, and enn never be re
placed. It is even publicly stated that
the coal men don't dare to meet to ad
just prices until after the legislatures
adjourn. If this is true. It is arrant
cowardice. No law that attempts to
compel men to give away their proper
ty, or sell it at a loss, can ever be en
forced, THE MORAL SIDE.
"One more question will arise in the
reader's mind. Well, even if it Is hard
for the 'operator,' Is it not good for the
public at large? Does it not make this
necessary fuel abundant and cheap?
"A comprehensive answer is that
very low priceB to the shipper have
never considerably increased the con
sumption. Unprofitable returns at the
mine do not always represent low
prices to the consumer. The difference
is frequently simply added to the prof
its of middlemen, jobbers and specu
lators. As a rule, the coal producer,
with his heavy Investment, would-be
entirely satisfied with one-half ,lhe
nvcrnge prollt realized by the middle
men. - I
"There are over 100,000 workmen' in
and about the anthracite mines. Thiy
and the other thousands dependent
upon their earnings are surely entlfjad
to some consideration. Has not Penn
sylvania as good legal nnd moral
grounds for the passage of laws for
bidding the taking of any coal from the
state, except it shall tinv fair wnirpi, tn
! tliii 1'nnnr.ylvunla workmen and u,Xdlr
return to .Pennsylvania capital, as
other legislatures have to Insist tha It
shall be given away? There is a spec
ial and touching reuson for asking fftir
wages for these employes. The mine
inspector's records show that every
hundred thousand tons of anthracite
mines cost's a human life, besides less
serious casualties. Working In these
veins Is far more dangerous than fight
ing In Cuba.
"Permit me to add that the owners
of the securities of snrne of the anthra
cite companies would dml It greatly to
their advantage to pay more nttention
to their property. In some casts
those In control will ridicule as abraird
any such views ns the writer has ex
pressed, and point to padded statistics,
llut tho remark is often mnde here that
the entire official hoards of some (not
nil) of those p-reat corporations whose
capital Is largely retire-ientcd by prop
erty In sight of Scrunton could walk Its
streets for days and not be recognized
by half a dozen peonle. Do these of
ficials know h"v rapidly their property
is being exhausted nnd how sudden will
be the awakening from this era of reck
less extravagance?"

from onu of the worst forms of slav
ery known to man. He has fully re
covered from the results of his ex
perience, and talks freely and grateful
ly of his deliverer. Toduy he said: "I
have been a perfect slave to tobacco
for over twenty-five years; smoked fif
teen cigars a day; Nov. 4, last, I bought
my first box of No-To-llac from An
derson & Cromer. I had little faith,
but. to my great surprise, after using
part of my third box, I was completely
cured and did not have the least de
sire for tobacco. Today I feel better,
think better, have gained fifteen pounds
and not a day passes that I do nut
recommend No-To-Dae to tobacco users
who are destroying their lives and vital
ity." Investigation reveals that there nre
500 people In this town and surrounding
country who have been cured by No-To-Ilac.
'
Anderson & Cramer were the first
here to start the good work, as Mr.
Anderson termed It. "Yes, we Intro
duced No-To-Bac into this town about
three years ago. The demand at the
start was very light, fVr folks had no
faith, but we sold to. a, few, and to our
great astonishment every one report

hundreds of boxes under a guarantee
to cure or refund the money, and
strange as it may seem, we have never
