Browning Revealed,

Robert Browning, the poet, whose name is aa familiar as. his works are strangers to the people, was the subjeot ot most thorough paper by Prof. A. B. Milford, read before the Ouiatenon last night. As most of the olub confessed it was Browning revealed to them as few ot them knew much about him before. The paper dealt with the philosophy ot the poet rather than the biography, dates and quotations only be. ing used to interpret. Tennyson and Browning are the greatest two poets of the Victorian era. Their first works appeared the same year, 183S, and they were intimate friends for many years. Their ashes now rest in the poets' oorner of Westminster Abbey. Browning's life may be divided into three periods, the first and third ot which would better be omitted, as his writings during these periods were of minor merit. The second period began in 1846, the date of his happy marriage to Elizabeth Barrett, ended with 186S and inoluded all his greatest works. He was the most original, the most voluminous, the most obscure, the most uneven writer of his time and the one about whom opinions most differ. His greatest fault was that he chose the poetic form which to express his ideas which are helpful to higher living but which would be much more effectual in prose. He lacks that quality so essential to a popular poet, imagination. His strict fidelity to facts has oaused him to be classed as a realist, a scientific poet. The obscurity of which so many complain is due to peculiar grammatical constructions, condensations and recondite allusions. Judged by Emerson's rule that a poet must be ranked by the frame of mind he induces Browning has a place in the post classical Pantheon. He believed in developing the higher nature rather than restraining the lower and above all in the power of enthusiasm. Indifference he would not bear. He believed in Christianity but emphasized its inner meaning rather than the outward facte.

He was the embodiment of optimism but, unfortunately, will never become popular with the people. The discussion which followed showed that Prof. Milford's paper had enthused the club. Owing to the absence of Prof. Smith no current topio was introduced.

Mr. Ingersoll Speaks.

Mr. J. B. Ingersoll, of Chicago, father of the late Alice Ingersoll, called at the office and made the following statement concerning the death of his dauguter:

It was a week ago Monday that I went with Alice to Lincoln Park Sanitarium to make arrangements for the operation. Dr. Pratt assurred me that it was not at all dangerous but wanted Alice to remain there till Wednesday and get her system in condition before undergoing the ordeal. I promisod to return on Wednesday and did BO, but found that they had performed the operation on Tuesday. Alice was very pale and unable to talk. She had been under the influence of opiates four hours. I returned on Friday and Bhe was much better. She said she was treated well, the nurses were kind and she was not suffering. I returned again on Sundav, arriving at half past eleven, but she had died a half hour before I arrived. The doctor said he was surprised that she had died ind did not know the cause unless it was peritonitis brought on by a cold. He was anxious for a post mortem and I finally consented, whereat he left the room singing, it seemed to me in very cold hearted man-

I then saw the nurse who brought me a note from Alice to her sister. The nurse told me that Alice had given up hope of life early in the morning. She saw that her nails were purple and said: "I will leave at 11 o'clock," at the same time expressing a desire to see me. I don't want to hurt one's feeliDgs but I do think that u. should go to that sanitarium for .ment unless accompanied by friends."

A Complicated Case,

Mike Lowrie, our esteemed fellow citizen, married Mrs. Mattie Newlin Thursday night. Mrs. Newlin had just received a divorce from her husband James Newlin but had neglected to take her maiden name. When the lisense permitting her and Lowiie to wed was taken out, however, her name went on the record as Mattie McClure. This mistake has caused a complication and the validity of the marriage ia Daturally questioned. The legal lights of the city have been interviewed and it seen a to be the consensus of opinion that since Lowrie was married nnder his right name and Mrs. Newlin under a wrong name, that the marriage as affecting him is valid and invalid as affecting

Mattie. This is rough on Mattie. It has been suggested that Mr. Lowrie to vindicate his wife take out a license and marry Mattie Newlin. This would make the marriage legal as to her but the records would show that Mike had married two women and wus hence a bigamist. The situation is really embarassing.

In the Indiana telegraphic news of THB JOURNAL to-day appears a message to the effect that the natural gas companies of Crawtordsville and other towns are to form a trust. The report is de nied with adjectives at the office of the Crawtordsville caravansary.

A verdict may be rendered this evening.

WASTEFUL MINING METHODS.

Fifty-Five Per Cent, of the Coal In the Ueds Rendered Unavailable.

While other plans of coal mining have been proposed, writes H. M. Chance in an article on "The Anthracite Coal Industry" in the Engineering Magazine, the old method of working by parallel breasts, separated by regular pillars of coal, is still almost universally used. That great waste results from this method is admitted by all. In working thin beds the pillars can be removed, or at least a large portion of the coal they contain can be taken out after the rooms have been worked to the limit, but this can be done to very limited extent in thick scams. By adopting modifications in. the long-wall system, or combined long-wall and refilling systems, a much larger percentage of coal in the thicker seams could be recovered, but such systems would perhaps increase the cost per ton, and they require a large preliminary outlay in deadwork before mining on a large scale can be commenced. Conservative estimates place the quantity of coal lost by being left in the ground as pillars at forty per cent, of the quantity originally present.

The cost of mining and preparing coal for the market varies widely between different collieries. When the coal is wet and contains much bony coal or slate, the cost of preparation is largely increased. I'erhaps one dollar and forty cents to one dollar and ninety cents per ton may fairly be tnlccn as the average ran^c in cost of production and preparation. This is exclusive of royalty, wiiieli averages from thirty cents to forty cents per ton. Enormous quantities of water are pumped from some of the mines, somo of them raising between one million and two million gallons daily.

In addition to the coal lost in pillars left to support the roof, a considerable portion is lost by becoming mixed with the "gob" or refuse left in the mine some is reduccd to dust by blasting and handling, still more waste is made by crushing, screening and handling in the breaker, and the rejected slate always has more or less coal adhering to which is lost in the waste dump. Less than forty-five per cent, of the coal contained in the thicker beds is sent to market, the balance being wasted.

NEW NOMENCLATURE.

Work of the United States Hoard Geographic Namm.

The Dnited States board on geographic names has made its report, and if its spelling of the names of familiar local' ities near Detroit and Michigan is a fair example, those who were educated in the grammar schools of this city may expect to have their knowledge turned endwise into a useless incumbrance, says the Detroit Free Press.

Grosa? Pointe is sow Orossepqlntjj JSt.

Mary's river drops the apostrophe, likewise Sackett's Harbor and all other names in which the apostrophe has, hitherto been used Conner's Creek is now Conners Creek Flat Boone, in Wexford county, is spelled Boon the Duck islands are now known as Duck island Greene 'Irops the "e."

The board says spelling and pronunciation that is sanctioned by local usage should be adopted, and then proceeds to do just the opposite. It lays down the following rules: "It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town as parts of names. "In the case of names consisting of more than one word, it is desirable to combine them into one word. "The use of hyphens in connecting parts of names should be discontinued. "Names ending in 'boroupch' should be abbreviated to 'boro.' "In names ending in 'burgh,' the final 'h' should be dropped. "The possessive form should be avoided whenever it can be done without destroying the euphony of the name or changing its descriptive application."

But Uncle Sam and his employes are the only ones who will pay any attention to this sort of word and letter juggling, for the changes are to appear only in government publications. The board was composed of ten men, graduates of West Point and Annapolis, and they have rigged np a list of changes in nomenclature that will astonish everybody and hurt nobody.

A Time-Serving DOR.

A resident of West Chester, Pa., is authority for the following "dog story," as it was recited to him by a soldier:

Troop of the Sixth cavalry owned a dog which accompanied it on every trip. At the battle of Wounded Knee some time ago the animal was abandoned and was found In a snowdrift, by a sergeant of I troop, who took it away and cared for it. The animal could not be persuaded to return to Its former owners and remained with the sergeant. One day the sergeant was reduced to the ranks for some breach of discipline. From that day forth the dog would have nothing whatever to do with him and took up its quarters in another tent. It could never again be persuaded to return to the sergeant, evidently considering a reduced man as far beneath its notice."

A Ilnge Freight Car.

What is claimed to be the largest freight car ever built was turned out at Altoor.a, Pa., a few days ago.' It is to carry the one hundred and twenty-four-ton cannon Krupp Is making for exhibition at Chicago from Haltiraore to Chicago. The car is practically two cars, with eight pairs of wheels each, jointed together and made into one by an iron bridge. Another car of almost equal size is building to transport two sixty-five-ton guns and a big piece of armor plate over the same route.

lionne of Nero.

The most famous of ancient houses was the Golden house, erected by Nero. Its whole interior is said to have been covercd with gold and gems, it was adorned with the finest paintings and statues that the world could furnish, it had triple porticos a mile in length and a circular banquet hall which perpetually revolved in imitation of the motion of the sun.
