Earl Grey, who proposes to mu­ nicipalise all the saloons of England, and thus reduce the drink evil, is one of the big commercial noblemen of Great Britain. He was appointed gov­ ernment manager of the South African Chartered Company in conjunction with Cecil Rhodes, was one of the company and one of its largest stock­ holders, and was a favorite of the late queen, who loved him because the prince consort was his godfather.

An article in the April Atlantic by Talcott Williams throws light upon the real causes of the threatened strike in the Pennsylvania coal fields. This writer shows that strikes are often the result of Intense competition. Every new machine and every shifting of trade has in it the possibilities of strikes in the industries affected. Thus the invasion of England by American steel products is likely to produce labor troubles In English steel mills. It is a change of this kind that has forced the anthracite mine- owners and their employes into a state constantly bordering on conflict. For the first time both sides are now thor­ oughly organized and each feels the pressure of conditions which seem to it unendurable. The real cause of the anthracite troubles is the-increasing competition of bituminous coal. From 1840 to 1860 the annual output of each of the two kinds of coal was practically the same. By 1870 the anthracite had forged ahead of Its rival in the propor­ tion of 16,000,000 tons to 14,000,000 of soft coal. Anthracite had everything in its favor and the iron of the coun­ try was made with this kind of coal. Miners got good wages and capital made large dividends. Then the capi­ talists did as they usually do in such cases--they watered their stock. Between 1870 and 1880 the capital engaged in anthracite Increased from 160,000,000 to $154,000,0p0. Tet during the same period bituminous coal sud­ denly leaped far ahead of anthracite, iit 1880 the hard coal output was 23,- 000,000 tons, while the soft coal was nearly 42,000,000 tons. The use of coke hafi been discovered, and the iron in­ dustries had begun to substitute bitu­ minous for anthracite coal. The an­ thracite interests thus found them­ selves heavily overcapitalized and face to face with strong and unexpected competition. Their decline dates from that time. In the last twenty years the anthracite output has doubled, but that of bituminous coal has quad­ rupled. The Pennsylvania owners sought to save themselves by employ­ ing cheaper and less intelligent labor. They scaled down wages through the company store, a high price for pow­ der, and various devices fdr mulcting the miner in weighing his output. Strikes followed inevitably. These conditions are still pressing upon the mine-owners with Increasing force, says the Chicago Tribune. In the flush days of thirty years ago the shafts were only 400 or 600 feet deep. Now they are thrice that depth, and it costs much more to bring each ton to the surface. The steel industries were formerly confined to the East, near the anthracite mines. Now the cheap Western ore and cheap bitumin­ ous coal are steadily drawing the iron industries' toward the West. The over­ capitalized anthracite industries have increasing difficulty in making divi­ dends. The result is an imminent dan­ ger of serious disturbances, yet, as Mr. Williams says, the danger from a further deterioration of labor and wages would be still worse. Gums the "Riders Oiter. ' Proprietors of amusement enter­ prises who are looking for a novelty to take the place of the common roller coaster, toboggan slide, "shoot-the- chutes," etc., will find In the invention presented herewith sufficient novelty to last for one season at least. In fact, most people would be inclined to think there was too much novelty to the apparatus, since it turns the pass­ engers completely over in the early part of its Journey around the circuit The inventor claims this can be done with perfect safety, as the centrifugal force of the moving weight in the car holds every passenger in place almost in spite of himself. Edwin Prescott of Arlington, Mass., is the Inventor, and the Idea here applied is that of CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY, imparting such high speed to the car by causing it to descend a steep grade that when it changes its course as it does in passing through the yertlcal loop of track, the center of gravity will tend toward the bottom of the car, thus forcing every rider more firmly into his seat. The passage through the loops Is accomplished so quickly that it is hardly realized, "and then the car proceeds with the less exciting portion of its Journey. The car takes on its load in the position shown, and the cable elevates it to the top of the steep incline, with the pass­ engers facing backward through the first stage of the journey. Hussta m Ccrco, ^ ":;TJ M'LEAVT BROWN. (Soglishman in Charge of Corean Cus­ toms Who Has Been Dismissed at Ifte Instigation of Russia.) Secretary Gibboney, of the Law and Order Society of Philadelphia, says that there are 1,100 disorderly houses, 2,200 policy shops and 1,103 "speak­ easies" in that city. Heath of Caxm. The sudden death of Jean Cazin, the world-famous French landscape paint­ er, Is reported from Nice. Few of the modern French artists are better known in this country than M. Cazin, and few are more numerously repre­ sented in American private and pub­ lic galleries. He should be classed as one 6f the Barbison group of artists, and yet in "many ways his style is his own. His works are almost entirely landscapes, soft and low in color, well composed, and delightful in harmony. His favorite time is the twilight, its low tone and mysterious effect being in keeping with his unobtrusive and quiet, but exceedingly effective style of work. Many of his pictures have been exhibited, and are owned here, so that they have become almost as familiar as the works of popular Amer­ ican artists. Embossed leather can be cleaned with turpentine applied with a soft cloth. This removes the stains but slightly stiffens the leather, which must be made pliable again by rub­ bing briskly with crude oil. - _ At the present time, as Emillo Agui- naldo is likely to discover, there is nothing particularly dangerous about playing the part of a revolutionist. A hundred years ago it was different. Then a man or woman who revolted against established authority was fair­ ly certain to have his or her head cut off, And was likely to have other un- pleaaant things happen. Now, so long at least as one is careful to rebel against a civilized and enlightened power, a captured leader is likely to be furnished with a handsome resi­ dence on some salubrious and beauti­ ful island, paid a liberal allowance by the government against which he has rebelled, and asked to live a quiet and healthful life, with nothing to worry about. In mil the law books the old defini­ tion of it rebel and the punishment for rebellion remain, but, though the "high treason" be proved the death penalty Is rarely enforced. * A good example of the way In which rebels were treated only a century ago Is found in the story of Toussalnt 1'- jDverture, the famous negro slave, sol­ dier and statesman, who founded the black republic of Santo Domingo. In 1793, when the English invaded the is­ land, Toussalnt, who was already a trusted military leader among the blacks, declared In favor of France and took the oath of allegiance to the French republic. He took the field against the English and drove both them and the Spaniards off the island. Then he was made commander-in-chief of the military forces of the island. In 1801 Toussalnt assumed control of the government A constitution was drawn up making him president for life. When this constitution was sent to Napoleon he broke out into a fury and sent an army of 30,000 m«n, under General Leclerc, with a fleet of more than sixty war vessels, to subdue the black usurper. But Toussalnt was an able soldier, ahd the climate fought with him. Within asfew months 20,000 of the French soldiers perished of yel­ low fever, and the negro soldiers a!tid slaves, riBing in a general rebellion/ put 60,000 white people to death. Fi­ nally peace was restored, and Tous­ salnt was treacherously seized and im­ prisoned. Then he was transported to France and confined in a cold and dismal dungeon, where he suffered from lack of food and sickness, dying at the end of ten months' imprison­ ment of consumption and starvation. Another more modern rebel is Arabi Pasha, the'Egyptian, who defied for a time the united power of England and France. In 1881 Arabi Pasha, at the head of the Egyptian army, became qie military w4ictfttox 9! Egypt, and in 1882 both British and French warships were sent to Alex­ andria to overawe and defeat the reb­ els, and to make a prisoner of Arabi aa their chief. For many weeks Arabi was able to hold off the enemy, but finally he was overtaken and his forces cut to pieces at Tel-El-Kebir. Araoi was captured by the British troops and placed on trial on a charge of high treason. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced, with the members of his staff, to banishment to the island of Ceylon. There he has lived ever since, a welcome guest at the houses of Brit­ ish authorities on the island, and the recipient of a large allowance from the British government. When Arabi gave up his sword and went into exile he was only 42 years old and was in .ap­ pearance the typical leader of a savage and fanatical people. Now that he Is past 60 his expression has softened, and he has become a venerable and gentle old man. Practically every mem­ ber of his staff who went into exile with him is dead, and his last wish is to go home to Egypt and die in the land of his fathers. The United States has had to deal with a number of rebels. One of the first was Daniel Shays, the leader of a rebellious force of Massachusetts men, who objected to the collection of the large taxes after the close of the revolutionary war. Shays organized a force of 2.000 men, marched on and captured the town of Worcester, and finally demanded the surrender of the United States arsenal at Springfield. The United States officer in command fired a number of cannon over the heads of Shay's army, which broke and ran. Shays and a number of lead­ ers were arrested and tried on charges of high treason. Several of them were convicted and sentenced to death, but these sentences were never executed. Finally a free pardon was granted to all who had taken part in the rebel­ lion. , A little >bit later the so-called^,whisky insurrections broke out in Pennsyl­ vania. These disturbance* were of 30 much importance that President Wash­ ington ordered out 13,000 troops and sent commissioners over the moun­ tains to deal with the rebels. There was some bloodshed and many cases of violence shown against the officers who were sent by the national govern­ ment to collect the ta$ on whisky and other alcoholic products. No arrests were made, however, and the rebels were not punished in any way. Often, as history, shows, a rebel is safer and enjoys a much longer , lease of life when he IB captured by a hu­ mane foe than when he achieves tlfte Jftjiject for which he started on bis reer of violence. As example, Dantoi may be cited. Born a farmer, he went to Paris and became a barrister. He was master of a sort of rough eloquence which proved effective, and he grew daily in power and popularity. In per­ sonal appearance he was a giant. Fi­ nally he became minister of justice un­ der the revolution and then president of the terrible committee of public safety. Then he aroused the enmity of Robespierre and was sent to the guillotine in April, 1794. A few months later Robespierre met the same fate. Both of them might have lived on for years In comfortable retirement if their rebellion had been put down and they had been sent into exile by a gen­ erous king. But the most unhappy, as well as the most beautiful, rebel In history was Lady Jane Grey. She was not a rebel of her own will and Choice. She had no thought for reigning as Queen of England until the plan was brought to her by her ambitious father-in-law. Then she consented, and when. aft§r holding the title of Queen Jane for nine days, she was sent to the tower she was ready to plead guilty to the crime of treason. She was young, beautiful, and the most learned woman of her times, but she was executed on the charge of which she had admitted her guilt. Not so was Queen Ranavalona III, of Madagascar treated when a few years ago the French, who had claimed igajica iries. centuries, decided to take her into exile. She and' her two uncles were detected in a plot to overthrow the French authority. The men were tried and executed, but the Queen herself was captured in her palace, where she lived almost like a hermit, and taken first to a little Island in the ocean. There the spirit of revolt followed her, so that the French finally decided to transport her to Algeria, where she would be too far from home to head a rebellion. Accordingly, she has been given a fine villa, a staff of servants, and an allowance of $5,000 a year by the government, and It Is said that she has a much better time than when she was locked up all the time in her palace at home, with no amuse­ ment except to fly paper kites out of the window. Now she has developed a great taste for French millinery, as well as a liking- for clgarets, chewing tobacco, and jewelry. In the line of jewelB, It is said that her collect! Is valued at $2,000,000.

Only five senators were present In the senate, and the session of that body did not last more than one minute. Wednesday, April S. Case garnishment law repeal was under fierce discussion through most of the sen­ ate session. The repealer was Anally ad­ vanced to third reading without material amendment.

That provides the exemption shall be $S0, as in the old law of four years ago. on debts contracted for everything except the necessaries of life, and that on such debts the exemption from garnishment shall be 19 a week, or 76 per cent of the weekly wage, the debtor to elect which form of exemption he shall plead. Sena­ tors McKensie, Meehan, Brenholt and Dunlap were for the amendment; Sena­ tors Mahoney. Shumway, Riley, Bailey. Fowler and Davidson were passionately against it.

T. H. Charlton, who has been super* Intendent of the Indiana State Reform school at Plainfield for the last twen­ ty years, has resigned. Mr. Charlton is regarded as one of the ablest edu­ cators in the state and has been prom­ inent in educational and political cir­ cles ever since the close of the civil war, through which he fought as a member of the Twenty-third Indiana regiment. t Among the memoirs to which we can look forward are those which the late Due de Brogle left behind him. They will probably be voluminous, for this grandson of Mme. de Stael was extremely fond of the pen and indus­ trious by nature. Lord Fairfax's Spring. From Berkeley Springs, W. Va., comes word that the mineral spring set aside for public use a hundred years ago by Lord Fairfax has been blown up and destroyed by people who were enraged be­ cause It' had been leased to outsiders for a term of years. Lord Fair­ fax, whose public bequest has thus been nullified, was the original owner of more than 5,- 000,000 acres of Virginia land. He early made the acquaintance o f George Washington, then a youth of 16, and employed him to survey and lay out his estates. In this way be­ gan a personal friendship which sur­ vived 0 all political differences, and lasted until the death of Fairfax.

A joint meeting of the Chicago Medical society and of the Chicago Neurological society was held at Apollo hall, Chicago, Tuesday night. Over 100 of the city's most eminent physicians were present. The programme consisted of a symposium on epilepsy, four papers being read dur­ ing the evening. A general discussion followed the reading of each of the pa­ pers. The bill now before the legislature prohibiting the marriage of epileptics was Indorsed by the physicians present as an excellent measure. Senator Riley has tart reduced a new bill relating to the dfllrt of state architect, now In process of being abolished, which would make that office a "peach." It provides for him a salary of $3,000 a year, office rent to the amount of $1,200 a year and all traveling expenses, and says that he shall receive In addition 3 per cent on the cost of the work superintended by him. On the basis of State Architect Watson's own figures, covering the work done under his direction up to Jan. 1. this I per cent clause would have given htm in addition to his salary between $18,000 and 120.000. -- Senator Rtley has Introduced a bill in­ tended to permit non-residents, such as federal employes at Washington, to regis­ ter at home by affidavit.
