Alaska's extreate breadth bom to vest to 2t9 miles in aa air lia. Accordisc to Prof. Gayot, a recogalaed aatltorttjr oa all geographic matters,' tfce Islaad of Attn, in Alaska, is as far west of Saa Francisco as the coast of Maine is' east of that city; or, in other words, San Francisco is the great middle city between the extreme east and west of the United States, says Jay Monroe Latimer in Metropolitan Magazine, a fact which is very diffi cult for the eastern minds to grasp. The breadth of Alaska from north to south is 1,400 miles. Now about the coast line! According to 'the United. States coast survey the shore line of Alaska, up and down the bays and around the islands, measures 25,000 miles, or two and one-half times that of the Atlantic and Pacific coast line of the remaining portion of the United' States. The coast of Alaska, if ex tended in a straight line, would belt the globe. Nearly 40 years ago, when Secretaryof State Seward proposed that the United States should pur chase this vast tract of land, the peo ple throughout the length and breadth of the union shouted: "Folly! folly! 7,2O0,O for an iceberg!" Neverthe less, Secretary Seward was wiser than his day and generation. He intro daced the bill before congress; and there after stormy and lengthy de bates he secured its passage, and the United States received from Russia the greatest of all her possessions. Coal Industry in Montana. ' The coal mining industry in Mon tana has, according to the records, just entered the second quarter cen tury of its history. So fjir as known, the first coil produced in the state, or the territory, as it was then, was mined in 1S80, in which year the pro duction amounted to 224 tons. It was not until 1889, however," that the in dustry assumed any importance, the production increasing nearly 800 per cent., from 41,467 short tons in 188 to .63,301 short tons the following year. During the next six years develop ment advanced rapidly, until In 1895, it exceeded 1,500.000 tons. Compara lively little fluctuation was shown by statistics of production from 1895 to 1906, but in 1906 considerable improve nient was evident, the production hav ing increased from 1,643,832 short tons, valued at $2,823,350, in 1935, to 1.829,921 short tons, valued at $3,240. 359, in 1906, a gain of 186,089 tons, or 11.3 ier cent in quantity, and $417, 007, or 14.8 per cent, in value. The number of men employed in the coal mines of Montana increased from 2,181, in 1905 to 2,394 in 1906, the av erage number of working days being the same (243) in both years. The average production per man in 1906 was 764.4 short tons, against 753.7 in 1905, and the average daily production per man was 3.15 tons in 1906, against ::.10 tons in 1905. ' Problem of Air Navigation. Apropos of the prevailing acute In terest in aeronautics abroad, a foreign critic intimates that the United States Is far behind other countries, and speaks rather slurringly of our alleged nonprogressiveness. Hut there is no occasion for getting "hot under the collar" because of the insinuation, soothingly remarks the Troy (N. Y.) Times. That other countries are greatly in the lead of the United States in this matter really remains to be proved. And even if the allegation be true, what assurance does It fur nish that this country will long re main in the rear of the procession? Americans have a knack of "catching on" which serves them excellently when necessary. The old world had' a big lead on automobiles, for instance. But it has not taken long for the United States to work its way to first place in motor-car production. It would not be at all surprising if, after everybody else has done his best and fallen short of turning out a sucess ful flying machine, some American should come along and perfect an air ship which would surpass all others. People who have been sneering at skimmed milk wiil be humiliated to learn that a German chemist has dis covered a mode of manufacturing from it a substance having the qualities of celluloid and vulcanized rubber, but which is not inflammable. Hereafter skimmed milk will be used for mak ing "galalith." the new material, and cream will be a mere by-product They landed 2,000,000 pounds of fish on one wharf in Boston in one day. More than two pounds of brain food for each inhabitant And they had baked beans for breakfast on the same day. What's the use, remarks the Brooklyn Eagle, of trying to keep up with Boston? Geronimo is to send a message of peace to all Indians. The day was that when the old Apache jient out a message it meant eternal peace to many white men. ,. The prettiest girls are always the stupidest, according to an English sci entist Now if this rule only worked both ways, the stupid girls would have some consolation. "I have found a new route to the pole," says explorer Cook. But won't he find it harder than the beaten path? With the necessities of life going b every day. it requires considerable eevrage jat to live. T V - ?

Guild, the man without sentiment, could not see any call for clemency and the man is In solitary imprisonment yet Gov. Guild conies of one of the oldest families in the east and his tastes are all aristocratic. He is a menilier of the Society of Colonial Wars, the Society of Foreign Wars, Spanish War societies and Sons of the American Revolution, and some of the most exclusive clubs of Boston. He is a man of wealt'a and culture. He is sole owner of the Boston Commercial Bulletin, on which he has served in every capacity, from bill collector to editor, aa his father had done before him. He is a warm friend and admirer of President Roosevelt, with whom he has many tastes in, common, and went with him on his stump tour of the west in 1900. He was brigadier general of state militia when the Spanish war broke out and resigned that office to become lieutenant colonel and inspector general on the staff of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. He was offered a colonial commission and later 'the position of. first assistant postmaster general, but declined both. Gov. Curtis was born in Boston in 1860 and was graduated from Harvard in 1881, when he was class orator. AVERTED GREAT STRIKE David Lloyd-George, M. P., president of the, British board of trade, is the hero of the hour in England, having prevented a strike that would have "tied up" all the railroads in Great Britain. Lloyd-George and Richard Bell, also an M. P.. head of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, got together and convinced capital and labor that arbitration was better than a fight Lloyd-George is 44, the son of a school teach er, educated at a national school in a Welsh town. From the obscurity of a provincial law office Lloyd-George has fought his way, unaided by wealth or social prestige, to the front rank in parliament Lloyd-George is short of stature, has sharp features, a fresh-colored complexion, small, stub by, bristling mustache, keen, vigilant eyes and somewhat rebellious dark brown hair brushed back, which makes his fore head look bigger than it Is. When he first entered parliament, almost 17 years ago, he was unashamedly careless about his apparel, as one who gloried in denying himself any adventitious aid from the tailor. But when a measure of fame came to him and it came quickly he shaved off his mutton chops, donned a frock coat and a silk hat and spruced himself up generally. Lloyd-George, as president of the board of trade, is not a member of the cabinet, but he is next thing to it. He has charge of all matters relating to industries and navigation, except such as come under the jurisdiction of the admiralty board; he makes regulations for the welfare and protection of emigrants, for the prevention of accidents on railways and in factories; for the protection of women and children; investigates the cause of wrecks and punishes the responsible persons, and has general jurisdiction over all matters relating to trade and commerce. Where the board of trade has not the right to make regulations itself it is the adviser of the government, and its advice is seldom ignored. They are already talking of Lloyd-George for prime minister some of these days. MAY SOON LEAD TAMMANY 3pr fifQvEav "H Once a year he made it a practice to take all the women and children in his district for an outing, and the little ones would talk about it for months. He would address every man he met by his Christian name and ask after his wife. Every woman he would ask about her children. He had no children of his own, so he adopted all the children of his district He has all the geniality jynl all the shrewdness of his Irish forefathers. He had a dispute with Paddy Divver, the district leader, over some $30 worth of patronage, and although Paddy was. supposed to hold the district In the hollow of his hand, Foley beat him handsomely and has been leader' ever since. He has always avoided office-seeking, for he recognized the public prejudice against saloon-keepers in politics, and one term as councillor and one as alderman made up his public career. He was forced by his friends into the fight for sheriff, and with his recent success he is likely to be leader of Tammany before many years. ENEMY OF Maximilian Harden, known throughout Ger many as "the enemy of the kaiser," is the editor whose sensational charges of immorality against the "Round Table" crowd in Emperor William's court brought public disgrace to Gen. Count von Moltke. Harden turns from immorality in court to. criticism of the monarch without the slightest hesitation. Every week his paper. Die Zukunft, ridicules the emperor. He has done it for years and his attacks have' earned him three terms in a prison fortress. Harden served the sentences cheerfully. From his cell he continued each time to edit his paper and to present without interruption the idiosyn crasies of his majesty in a dashing sarcastic style peculiarly his own. But from the emperor down to the smallest official clothed with a little brief authority, none are immune from his merciless onslaughts. In 20 years Harden, the firebrand, has become a power for the better ment of political and social conditions in-Germany. He began as a casual contributor to the local press. His vitriolic articles were often rejected and he determined to start a pafecr of his own. Die Zukunft (The Future) was the result Harden gained particular prominence in his defense of Prince Bismarck when the young emperor dismissed the iron chancellor in 1890. Later the chancellor became his warm friend. ' This friendship added to his fame and aided, materially in the financing of his newspaper venture later. Die Zukunft became a weekly review of radical tendencies. It was. a suc cess from the start Harden's frankness in telling the truth about the kafcer regardless of all the public prosecutors in Germany was a revelation. The sarcastic Berliners laughed immodeiately and subscribed by the thousands. ON CONCLUSIONS. It doesn't pay to jump at' conclu sions. Once we had a dog that had a 1ad habit of jumping at conclusions.' When he had no other, animal's con clusion to jump at he would go round and round in a circle for half an hour at a time, trying to reach his own conclusion. That puppy would wait until a cow had gone past and then jump wildly at her conclusion. As is the custom of people similarly afflicted, once he reached a conclusion he hung to it "yyvcrey.X!?; . THIRD TERM Curtis Guild, Jr. who has been elected for the third time governor of Massachusetts by the phe nomenal majority of 105,000. and that, too, in spite of the spread of free trade ideas in his state, is one of the very few men in public life who scorn to yield to public opinion when they think it is misdirected. Guild is a bulldog in some respects. This was shown when he refused to commute the sentence of Charles L. Tucker, who was con victed on- circumstantial evidence of murdering Mabel Page. Many of the best people in the state ItetiticEed the governor for clemency, but he couldn't be convinced and Tucker, gnilty or In nocent, was hanged. manner Guild refused to mitigate the of a man who had been in solitary 'or 34 years, and in that time had 1. aammmmmmmmmm-wl Thomas F. Foley, Tammany leader of the sec ond district, who was recently elected sheriff, is a typical specimen of the born and bred New Yorker. He has been a politician ever since he was 13 years old, when he went out to support his widowed mother and two younger children. An unerring memory for faces and names and a sunny smile were his whole stock in trade, but he soon proved himself a man to be reckoned with. He made money in the saloon business. He was never slow about dipping into his roll to help a family in distress, and he would peel off a $50 or a $100 bill with the remark, "Don't hurry about repaying that little loan. It will do when your missus is better and your boy is work-ing. THE KAISER till he was kicked loose. As is usual also with people of similar proclivi ties, he was a dash-gummed nuisance. But one day that hasty pup jumped at a big, thoughtful bay 'mule's con clusion, and the next. day we had to get a brand-new dog. The old one wasn't even worth repairing. No; it doesn't pay to 'jump at con clusions. Judge. An Observation. When a man has no one to blame but himself, he doesn't do much kick ing.

Yon have no Idea what a pretty center piece a pumpkin makes, hol lowed out, a strip left toform a han dle, then filled with grapes, bananas and red apples. Serve cold turkey, a vegetable ' salad, mince pie, cider, doughnuts and coffee. It would be a pretty Idea to ask the guests to come in colonial costume. Such a variety of novelties' are dis played for 'Thanksgiving that it is an easy matter to find suitable place cards and favors. Request each guest to tell in five minutes what he or she considers the most ideal way of spend ing Thanksgiving, and also an expres sion from each as to what he is most thankful for. This will prove very amusing if every one enters into it. , A Pumpkin Party. This affair is seasonable right now, and a mother I know is to give one for her 16-year-old daughter. The rooms are to be gorgeous with tissue-paper pumpkins and vines, which will trail from grills, staircase, pictures and mantels. Large pumpkins scattered about the rooms wiil make admirable seats, while one immense pumpkin will occupy a prominent place bearing the placard, "Guess how many seet'aj." Later it will be cut, the seeds counted and a prize awarded for the nearest guess and a football box of candy for the guess farthest away from the cor rect number. The bonbons are to be a novelty in the way of pumpkin chips, which are made like candled orange peel and very delicious. The table centerpiece will represent a barnyard, with tur keys of all sizes strutting about. These will be given as souvenirs at the close of the party. The candle holders are to be 'red and white ears of- corn. A Topsy-Turvey Concert A reader very kindly sends this de scription of a "topsy-turvey" concert, for which a correspondent asked some weeks ago. This surely must be a most laughable affair and "well worth trying. The singers stand in a row close to gether behind a curtain with just their heads showing. The curtain is stretched across the stage or in front of wherever the exhibition takes place. After a verse, or, better still, right in the middle of a verse or line, the heads all disappear, the song con tinues and in a moment all the hands are shown where the heads were, dressed in all shapes and sizes of shoes and slippers with gay stockings. After a few bars of music the heads are again shown. An Autumn Leaf Card Party. An autumn leaf card party is an other seasonable and a most enjoyable affair. A trip to any of the suburbs will be rewarded by finding the most gorgeous leaves, just the proper things for decorating. Jack Frost has been unusually artistic this year in his touches, and for some reason the leaves are remaining much longer on the trees, so that whole boughs of crimson and yellow foliage may be obtained. With electric lights hidden in the leaves the effect is very beauti ful.

Never buy any of the cheap machine carved, over decorated and upholstered furniture that is still unfortunately so much seen. The present fashion is to select each article individually, although In harmony of course with the other pieces and furnishings. The three pieces of living-room furniture sketched illustrate this idea each piece being on the same general design and in the same wood (mahogany), but each being cov ered with a different material. An excellent effect is insured by following a certain color scheme, planned to suit the walls and woodwork of the room. Shades of green, reds and soft yellows are charming for a living-room, and great vsriety may be gained by the use of different fabrics for chair coverings and hangings, all oa these tones of color. The larger pieces, such as lounges or divans, are best in plain velour or rep, green being especially recommended. Color can here be introduced by the use of gayly covered pillows. The chairs may be in brocade, plain or figured Jn flower bouquet or other graceful de signs, and the two tone striped velours, upholstery taffetas and brocades are also very decorative.

Each designer strives to give his own individual touch to all the work of his atelier. For Instance, a famous one adapts all modes to his magic. He loves best simple lines, with a plentitude of garniture. He sends out many princess gowns with the fullness of the skirt pushing up onto the bodice into clever drapings. Hia sleeves are nearly always long, but with the lower part melting into unlined lace mitten sleeves. Very charming is a dinner toilet of his of white mousseline de sole. The skirt, is made with plaited panels alternating with wide lace entre deux. The bodice is beautifully draped above a wide girdle. This is arranged at the fiatural waist line in front, rising slightly toward the back ia the grace ful way so much la vogue at present The trimming oa this bodice is quite novel and altogether effective. rrw - '----. ---.- -- . - - - .m. .- J ' -?.Jri - iJa-i'' 17. - .

Here we find black braid playing an important role on the unique coat and at waist line' in front at closing oint there is an attractive ornament of black cord and tassels. The skirt has a panel front heavily stitched, as are also the hems of both skirt and coat. Dark Color Evening Gowns. It is with great charm that evening gowns are now made of dark tissues and mousselines, hung over pale col ored liberty satins. The effect is so happy, so opposed to the splurge style in vogue for the last few years that its attractiveness wins on all sides. Brown-, and smoke' gray' nets or tis sues, dropped over any of the various yellows are bewitching. Mole-gray over oleander pink, cerise or flamingo shades is charming, while gray-green over .-shell pink is an exquisite con trast. Vogue." Fancy Beltings Pretty. The fancy beltings were never pret tier. They look like elastic, but have a slight cord in them, just enough to keep them trig and fit the waist line closely. They are shown in all colors, or white with colored figures, but the daiutiest is all white with raised silky figures. The buckles that are worn arc merely of frame work, and the belting is fastened to a slide and catch and run through the buckle it self. , ' - Sashes and Bretelles. Sashes and bretelles can be made of narrow ribbons alternating with the same width of insertion and edged with tiny ruches of lace.

This pretty fancy is capable of great va riety in clever fingers. There is literally no end to the use of braid in .every width, from the nar rowest soutache braid to that of three or four inches in width, writes a Paris correspondent of the New York Tri bune. A woman of fashion who is noted for her exquisite gowning wore a night or two ago a wonderful red Ingote of fawn colored .filet lace the coarsest variety entirely striped with a quarter inch soutache braid. The garment was pointed on each side and. bordered with a deep silk fringe. Braid and fringe were of the tone of the filet It was sleeveless and hung wide open in front- The gown be neath was of a paler tone of mous seline de sole, the thick, soft sort that hangs like cloth.

To net earntaga add $5,283,282 other income, and the total available iacoatt is $19,471,555, of which .taxes, later est oa funded debt and .equipment trust obligations, and sundry othei charges consumed 60.5 per cent, or $11,773,452. The $7,698,103 remainder equaled 9.9 per cent on the outstand ing $77,817,875 capital stock. That this result was not obtained at the expense of the property is shown by the following percentages: Gross earnings increased 9.3 per cent; ex penditures for maintenance of equip ment increased 21 per cent; expendi tures for maintenance of way and structures increased 9.8 per cent; the cost of conducting transportation in creased 2.6 per cent.; general ex penses increased 1.7 per cent. The secret of the company's showing is in the small increase in the cost of con ducting transportation. Expenditures for maintenance increased in greater ratio than gross earnings, but as against an increase of 9.3 per cent ia gross earnings is an increase of bat 2.6 per cent, in the cost of conduct ing transportation. There is obviously nothing in the showing made by the company for the last flscalyear to account for the. fact that the stock is selling at the lowest price since 1900, when it was a noa dlvidend bearing security. It has earned and paid its 5 per cent, a year since then. The price of the stock most be supposed to be doe, partly, to financial conditions affecting all se curities, and partly to the fact that in the last two or three years there has been no organized effort to sup port Gould securities. They have been left to find their level with investors.
