Miss Pauline Grayson, a versatile woman of this city, has discovered a process for briquetting coal dust which will make commercially useful the mil lions of tons of that waste material now plied about the mouth of the coal mines of tho country. Co-incident with the cut in the price of foodstuffs reported in differ ent parts of the country sho Is con vinced that her discovery, which she has had patented here and abroad, will prove an important factor In lowering the cost of living. To emphasize this she calls her briquettes "Economy Coal." In pointing the way how to turn to practical account the huge culms of dust which have for years been accumulating 'in the coal regions of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, and other states she believes she has solved one of the hardest problems coal opera tors have bad confronting them ever since anthracite and bituminous coal -began to be mined.

By doing so each of you Kill bring joy to your relatives and friends, and in the future to the young man whom you may call your husband." The Cardinal ascended the plat form after two plays had been given. He started his address with congratu lations for those whohad taken part in tho plays. "To-day's celebration makes a sec ond Thanksgiving for us, he said. ''I celebrated it yesterday in Wash ington, where I attended St.- Pat rick's church. I don't know- which one I have enjoyed most. President Taft, his wife, a number of Cabinet members and representatives of iflany countries wore present, and it made me think of what a glorious custom ours Is of giving annual thanks to God.

Dickens, after a life In which he certainly did not stint himself, was able to leave to his heirs an c tate of an approximate value of half a million of dollars, and his immedi ate family was by no means a large one, as large families go. The fact that, some of his grandchildren to day .are engaged in earning their own livelihood, and that others are receiving small pensions from the English government does not abso lutely shock us, says the Bookman. Nor can we confess to any strong sense of national shame that the estate of Dickens was not larger. Let us not be misunderstood on this point. That, his stories were print ed in this country and that he did not receive his share of the profits accruing from their sale was mon strously wrong. But It was only In proportion to his p6pularity that the wrong was any greater to Dickens than to hts contemporaries. And if to any Englishflrflter the American people tried ,td make reparation for .nil' Injustice',' that .writer was Charles Dickens.- ' Turn to page 434 of the second volume of the standard edi tion of Forester's Life and read of the second visit to this country the visit of 18G8 and its material re sults.
