EVENTS OF THE
DAY-PERSONAL NOTES.
"Old iJlory" now waves proudly and
protf-ntlngly over that Institution vhloh
all West Serantonlans are proud of,
thu West Side hospital. The lkuitlful
emblem of all that an American holds
sacred was "broken out" to the breeze
yesterday morning, appropriate ov or
rises being observed In connection with
tho event.
Tho affair was arranged by Hon.
John R. Farr and Dr. M. J. Williams,
of the hospital board of directors, but
to r. M. and O. W. Clarke, of Clarke
Brothers, Is due tho credit for the hap
py Idea of having a Hag raising on tho
one hundred und tventy-second anni
versary of our country's declaration of
Independence. They accordingly pre
sented pole and fiag nnd had tho polo
erected. Tho pole ttands midway on
the lawn between tho street and tho
building and Is 82 feet high. Tho "Star
Spangled Tanner" is 12x21 In size.
Near tho base of the pole a plnt
foim had been erected and gaily dec
orated with Hags and bunting. Upon
It were seated those who were to par
ticipate and a few Invited prominent
personages. The hospital building and
ground aro at the intersection of Jack
son street and Bromley avenue and
each of the four directions were people
mesoed. being verily a sea of faces
beaming with the spirit of the hour.
Those who found seats upon tho plat
form weie: Assistant District Attor

chosen chairman; Hon. II. M. Edwards,
Messrs. E. M. and George W. Clarke,
whose donation prompted the exorcises;

Dr. M. J. William Introduced W.
Gaylord Thomas, as chairman, nnd the
selection was greeted with applause.
Mr. Thomas accepted the duties Impos
ed with a few eloquent remarks. He
spoke of tho unity of purpose which
pervaded tho land, the meaning of the
day and the spit it of the prcicnt oc
casion. Ho also expressed the hope
that many such affairs would be held
In years to come In Cuba, and other
places. "America" was sung by tho
Lyric quartette.
Hon. II. M. Edwards was Introduced
as speaker of tho day. and after the
enthusiastic evl'lencos of welcome had
su'j3lded, ho delivered an Inspiring ad
dress. Ho carried his hearers In mental
travel to distant Santiago and In a
beautiful manner portrayed events as
they were pct.slbly happening there nnd
how fared the "Stars and Stripes." Ho
concluded his deeply Inspiring remarks
with a tht Ullnir illusion to the np
paiently entire obliteration of north
and south. One fiag, one constitution,
one people, one sentiment. United
thoy stood and firmly.

School Controller T. J. Jennings then
presented tli. Hag to the hospital asso

Bros. Ills lemarks werf timely and
patriotic in tentlment. Following the
presentation, the flog was "broken out"
by Mlsa Manie Williams, and ns the
rolots streamed to the breeze tumul
tuous oheers aiose followed by tho
sirring of the "Star Spangled Banner."
Hon. John R. Farr, In behalf of tho
m-oelatlon, accepted tho beautiful gift
and uttered words of unstinted appre
ciation of the gift of the Messrs.
Clarke who had heretofore exhibited
their kindness toward the hospital.
Cheets for "Old Gleiy" and Its givers,
prorosed by E. T. Daniels, and given
with a will, concluded the exercises.
VERY QUIET FOURTH.
Strange to relate a thorough canvass
of West Scranton Indicated that this
gieat and glorious Fourth of July Just
passed into the records of history left
no particular scar upon nature, man
or beast, though the fun was fast and
furious.
During the day only one event of
any pnitlcalar Importance so far as an
observance of the day Is concerned,
occurred. The West Side hospital was
given a beautiful fiag recently by
Clarke Bros, and yesterday morning
the emblem was unfurled with appro
priate exercises. In the afternoon
those who could and had not gone to
excursions out of town, took cars to
Nay Aug, Laurel Hill, or the Athletic
Park.
In the evening nearly everyone
seemed to stay In West Scranton and
came out for a promenade on Main
avenue, young and old, particularly the
young, pitched In and the Hash of fire,
glare of red light, and heavier ex
plosion of torpedoes and cannon crack
ers became almost continuous. Even
revolvers, of all sorts of calibres, were
loaded with "blanks" and used. This
rather dangerous fun v,ns stopped
whenever the vigilant eye of tho West
Scranton police detail fell upon the
offenders.
And best of all no fire alarm either
general or still occurred In the dis
trict. Tha celebration was tinged
with editions of "Remember tho Maine"
and what did Dewey do at Manila and
Sampson nt Santiago. Though tho sale
of the means to celebrate was less
than In other more recent years yet
Just as much nlcusuru svems to have
been derived. In police circles no ar
rests for "helplessly drunk, disorder
ly or fighting" weru made up to a late
hour.
All In all, few If any "Fourths" cele
brated on this side, have been abserved
with such ti lack of marring features.

LITTLE BOY BURNED.
A little ten-year-old boy came Into
tho West Sldo hospital yesterday af
ternoon and asked to have his wounds
dressed. The little fellow had been
playing with some companions and an
exploding flro cracker burned his bands
and chest.
The burns were not severe but he was
afraid to go home until ho had been
"fixed up." Tho nurse at the hospital
took care of him and ho went home.
TWO MINOR ACCIDENTS.
Gwllym A. Williams succeeded In
breaking tho monotony of the general
answer of all tho physicians on this
sldo as to "no accidents" by getting
into trouble.
With some friends ho was celebrat
ing. Firecrackers, torpedoes and rock
ets were all tired successfully and with
out accident. Then pin-wheels wero
Introduced nnd Williams met his
"Waterloo." The "wheel" ho was fir
ing failed to turn and, exploding, se
verely burned his left hand and fingers.
Dr. J. J. Robert? dressed his burns.
Pin-wheels were dispensed with and
safer firecrackers enjoyed.

Nucoisiirir to (ctirmto It.
Tho weight of the earth Is undoubt
edly pretty accurate known, and know
ing Its weight It Is of course an onsy
matter to know tho number c.f foot
pounds of woik that would be required
to life It any specific distance.
J. A. Renlc, In Power, gives the fig
ures as follows: "It would require the
power of a. 10,000 horse-power cliff le
about 7O,000,('0O years to life tho eattli
one foot In height, nnd to do this work,
nllowlng thirteen pounds of wnler per
hour per horre-pow er, It would tequlre
about 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of
water, or moie thnn would bo dls
charg at the mouth of the Mississippi
river in 60,000 years. This would be
enough wnter to cover the entire sur
face of the earth to a depth of about 300
feet; to convert this water Into steam,
using good boilers, would require about
4,000,000.000,000,000 tons of coal; If this
coal was loaded on cars of twenty toiw
each It would require 200,0O0,0O0,OC0,00O
cars; If tho cars wero thirty feet long
nnd all coupled together In one train It
would reach around tho earth 45,000,000
times, nnd If It wus 1 tinning twenty
five miles per hour It would require 6,
000.000 years for It to run the length of
itself."
WASTEFUL MINING.
Methods Employed in Taking It Out
and Preparing it Lenvo Much
to lie Doslrcd.
"Attention Is every now nnd again
called to the fact that there Is much
avoidable woste In the milling of coal,
not In this country'alone, but through
out all coal mining centres, both at
homa nnd abroad," says the Iron and
Coal Trades Review. "It has been es
timated that during the last fifty yearc
not more than 30 per cent, of the coal
In the measures mined has reached the
place of consumption. Much of this
waste Is generally admitted to be due
to tho methods employed, and the
friends nnd promoters of coal rutting
machinery aio usually agreed that tho
more general adoption of coal cuttets
would tend to reduce tho waste inci
dental to hand labor. Wo aie now
publishing what we believe to be tho
mos;t comprehensive series of articles
on coal cutting machinery hitherto pub
lished, and we venture to hope that the
information to communicated may bo
helpful in this direction. Besides,
however, the Imperfect work of tho
miner, the waste of coal in working Is.
no doubt, laigely attributable to:
"1. Miscalculations ns to the amount
of coa' that must be left for tho pil
lars, etc.
"2 The leaving of large amounts of
coal unmlncd in a vein.
"The loss of coal from miscalcula
tions or bad engineering of the mine
Is understood to Vie eSormous. Pillars
may bo too largo and the coil wasted,
or too small and the pillars crush and
shut off the coal beyond. It Is not un
usual to leave numlnid a pait of a
vein that Is either under or above a
slate, and wl lch may not be quite so
pure ns that mined. The waste from
this source Is large. There arc coal
mines where, with Wi Inches of coal,
but 32 Inches of clean coal and tho
bcanng-ln coal of 4 inches are mined
36 Inches out of 71VJ inihcs. 'I he rest
is left untouched and means v. loss of
35V:: Inches; or, put In another way,
piactlcally one-half of the coal Is let.
In tin- mine, besides tho waste of min
ing. There is in connection with the
preparation of anthracite a specially
large amount of loss. This is not per
haps so great with bituminous eial, btjt
there aie culm and slack heaps about
bituminous as wvll as at anthracite
mines. The amount of toal sent to the
culm bank In the anthracite legion of
Pennsylvania since mining began has
b.'on estimated at 15 per cent, of the
total produitlon. or up to a recent
date, 315,700.000 tons. At certn'n col
lieries, from the year 1820 to 1SS3 20 per
cent, more cfml wont to tho dirt banks
than was marketed, nnd it was not
unusual for an amount equal to 50 to
75 per cent, of total shipments to go to
dirt banks.
"A recent writer on the subject has
pointed out thnt tho loss from this so
called unavoidable waste In mining nt
the present time Is difficult to ascer
tain. In some Instances It Is not 10 per
cent.. In others ns high as 50 per cent.
or more. This computation refers to
the veins actually worked and to those
portions that aro worked, and not to
those that are In whole or In part re
garded as not workable. If this un
avoidable waste averaged 20 per cent,
of the amount of coal produced, the
loss from this source In the United
Kingdom would bo about $44,000,000
-tons annually. If tlfv waste for fifty
years Is considered, the amount would
be enormous. This very serious waste
can be reduced. It Is being reduced as
the results of the application of en
gineering skill. When the day comes
that the near exhaustion of coal will
be a thing of tomorrow, and not of a
century, It will be found that the waste
that Is now called unavoidable will
then be termed criminal. One of the
chief alms of engineering science Is to
reduce this avoidable wasto still
further The adoption of better sys
tems of working should help in recov
ering coal fiom other sources of actual
or threatened waste. The chief ob
stacle In tho way of Immediate econ
omy Is the fact that the present gener
ation rarely deems It to be any part of
Its duty to look after the future. In
deed, a well-known coal owner recently
stated that 'there Is plenty of coal left,
so that we can afford to lose about 30
per cent, and we aro not going to pro
vide for future generations, so long as
we can mine coal at n low margin.'
The moral here luld down Is one of ex
pediency for which future generations
will unquestionably have to pay a
heavy penalty."

"Me no sabce." replied tho haffron
son of toll, splashing more water on.
The seneral argued, hut It was use
less. He scolded and harangued, but
to no effect.
Affairs of state might wait, but the
Chinese was bent on cleaning tho Win
dows. He looked mildly at the genetal
nnd dipped nnew Into the suds. "Mo
no sahee," was all he said. The gen
eral, being a student of human na
ture as well as of the art of war, sus
pected that the Intruder was lying.
"John." said he with great solem
nity, "don't you know I could have you
shot?"
"You no shootee me." replied John.
'"Go shootee Splanlard. Me Melkan
man's (lend. Mu alio same stlars and
stllpes," and a fresh dash of suds
struck the panp.
Tho general was getting Impatient.
There was no use In diplomacy. "Git"
ho yelled. "Vamoose! Clear out! You
sabe 'clear out.' you heathen'.'"
"Mo no sabe 'clear out.'" answered
John. "Me sabe Mellcan Hag. Mo sabe
washee window."
Tho military governor of the Philip
pines wns In despair. Just then a
chambermaid passed the open door.
"Say, said tho general, "come In and
Induce this heathen to get out."
Tho chambermaid came In, broom In
hand.
"See here." she remarked to John,
"skip, or I'll break this broom over
your cocoanut."
John picked up the bucket of suds
and Btarted for tho hallway, A3 he
reached the door he winked at tho
general. "Me no sabe much, me sabe
war," he said, and went nis way.
