Washington. J id. 2?- The result of
the investigation of the coal famine ol j
the Pacific Northwest was made public j
today. The report outlines both a rem- 1
edy and preventive. It recommends I
that national legislation be enacted
which shall oblige ttie railroad compa
Dies to publish at stated iutervai- a list
which shall show the distribution or
their cars throughout the country. The
legislation sha'l nlso prohibit the own -
ership of coal mines by railroads and |
the roads shall cirry a supply of coal
sufflcient only for their aciu.il need.

As often as nature makes a ileuiigix'

by which tin- less favored of the race
may know that he is not absolutely re
moved from them, but is. iu certain
ways, co-heir with theiu in common
humanity.
The "godlike Daniel," "expounder of
the constitution" and father of the
sentiment of American nationality,
whose eloquence the "applause of lis
tening senators" did command, was
mighty careless about his tinancial ob
ligations. seldom troubling himself
about what he owed or about what
others owed him.
The late Erastus Corning and Web
ster were warm friends, and thereby is
explained the fact that once upon a
time Sir. Corning indorsed Mr. Web
ster's note for a considerable amount.
As things go in this world notes must
sooner or later come due. and when
this particular uote reached maturity
it went to protest. But Webster was
the "great expounder." and the tlrm.
not wishing to embarrass him. paid It.
Time passed, and when it was sup
posed that Webster's financial condi
tion was improxed Mr. Corning was
prevailed upon by the firm to ask Web
ster if he could make it convenient to
liauidate the claim.
In answer to Turning's letter Web
ster seut a note abounding iu apologies
for the trouble he bail put bis friend
and wound up witb a most cordial
invitation to tbe gentleman to visit
biiii, when be would probably be lu s
position to pay him, or. at least, tc
give him souie sort of satb factory se

An old llostonlan who knew Web

bill against Web-ter for several hull

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
Thr Credulity of Men and lite Qo? pel
of the Puraalte*.
The credulity of a multitude of more
or less thrifty people, who, In their
muni:; for money, are ready to believe
that they can amass fortunes over- 1
night, makes them the easy prey of a i
swarm of parasites who infest the j
financial districts. The gospel of the |
parasites who build air castles for their
victims and real castles for themselves j
is terse: >
"A fool is li'jr.i every minute."
"A fool and Ills money are soon
parted "
Posiitg as bankers and brokers, the ]
financial parasites scorn- the country
for the fools and theu exercise their
nimble wits in devising schemes to ac
compli <li Iho partition. How many
millions of dollars are parted from the
fools every year may be conjectured
from the millions of dollars spent by
the pspudo-tiinuiciers iu advertising.
The bulk of the thr.uicial advertising
in the leading newspapers of the coun
try Is intended for the fools. Another
index of the richness of the harvest of
parting money from the fools Is the
occasional expostfre of some particu
larly glaring and bungled Imposture,
when the calculable "sWa g" runs into
the hundreds of thousands, if not Into
millions. But these frauds at* seldom
exposed f.-r the victims are usually as
anxious as the victimizes to escape
the limelight of publicity. Most men
prefer to lose tltir money rather than
hear their neighbors quote from the
parasites' gospel. "A fool and his
money are soon parted."? Success.
SHAKESPEARE'S NAME.
The G re n( rod HlnmcK Spelled II
!?> Different Way*.
Our grcuit poet Shakespeare spelled
h's surname in two ways? viz. "Shak
s;.ere" *-id "Sb.ikspeare" iu writing
the three signatures to his will, now at
Somerset K m>e Besides these three
there are iwo nther authentic slgua
tares. of which the tirst. in the con
veyance or his Blaefcfrlars property, is
written "ShaVxpero." and the second,
in the mortgage dee* I relating to the
?ame property, lias been interpreted
both as "Shakspere" -uid "Shakspeare."
"Shaksperfl" is the spelling of the al
leged autograph in the British uni
pen m copy of Klorio's "Montaigne."
but the authenticity of the signature!
Is considered doubtful. The uame or j
the poel s father occurs sixty-sis times
iu the council Inniks of Stratford ar.J .
Is spelled ir sixteen ways, the com- j
monest fortr being "Shaxpere." Al
most all refe;"euces to the poet iu the
seventeenth century give the Mria
"Shakespeare." which is used also on
the grant of arms In 150t>, in the li
cense to the i layers of 1603 and in the
text of .ill tfc legal documents relat- i
iiii; to the pint's property. That the
poet sanctioned this spelling is clear
from its adoption In the "Venus and
Adonis" of 1.1 Jo and the "Lucrece" of
lo'.t-l, which were produced under his
supervision.? Loud ju Standard.
THE SPANISH WOMAN
Slir I* U?*nutlful. Proud. Simple and |
Kadlnntly Feminine.
What women are more adorable, so .
proud, so simple, so radiantly feminine?
As a type, the Spanish woman of the j
south is u'lique. She is *mall and slen- .
der. exquisitely proportioned, with tiny
but beautifully shaped hands and feet.
Her head, poised proudly on a torso o:' ]
classical symmetry, is small, and her 1
hair is black and crisp, of the bluish
tint peculiar to the raven. Her face is
oval, such as Rusk in admired, finely
chiseled, frank and childish; her lips
full, red and pouting; her nose slightij !
aquiline with nervous, quivering nos
trils. Her eyes, almond shaped, dark, j
lustrous, pensive and passionate, now i
flash open like globes of Are. now
dreamily close as If in sadness. In |
her white lace shawl and the flowers
of Spaiu in her hair she is quite irro
| sistible. yet no prouder creature ex
ists, nor less coquettish a nature. Her
love consumes her, and she would no
more scioke a cigarette than she would
play hockey or golf. She Is simple as
a bird, wayward and captious as a
child; sincere, for she does not know
what it !s ta be Insincere. When she
loves sho ivill die for you, but when {
she bales she will slay you 'Vitu a
jinnee as keen as any dagger. -New
York .Mail.
