An extremely shrewd pleco of real estate manlpulutlon.'has Just come to light and tho Uulletln, through tho kindness of one who knew about tho whole matter, Is ablo to give the de tails, though the nnmes must bo with held for reasons that will become ap parent us tho story develops. It seems that there Is a man In this town who has a pleco of property iti the suburbs which ho values at $10,000 For a year or more past, he has placul this In tho hands of real estate men with the order to sell at 10,000. The property was sold several different times but the owner would always luck out at the last moment, preferring to hold on for a little while longer. This modo of procedure i the part of tho owner of the property mado tho real estate men tired nnd they resolveJ to get some money for their troublo In attempting to sell tho land, so three of the number put their heads together and this was tho result. Real Estate Man No. 1 called on the owner ot the land and secured a thirty day option, the price to be $10,000. Fifteen days later, Real Estate Man Nu. I culled on the owner and offered hi in $11,000. He Immediately refused the otter und nothing more about the mat ter was said. Not long utter this, Renl Cstate Mail No. 3 came, along and of fered $12,000. Again the refusal to Bell. Nothing whatever was said about the option. Just a very short tlmo before the option rnn out, Real Kstate Man No. 2 again appeared on the scene, this tlmo with an offer of $12,500. A New York capitalist who had decided to setlo down in the Islands hnd seen the ptoperty nnd decided that he must luue It. He was, therefore, willing to piy tho sum mentioned. Tho land owner bit. He told No. 2 that No. 1 held an option on tho proper ty fur $I04J00 and that ho couldn't go back of thaN Then came tho fine work. No. 2 advised the man to go to No. 1 and offer him $500 for the option. Ho would certainly be willing to sell at that llguro and even upon surrendering this amount, he u'htild still bo $2,000 ahead on the deal. No. 1 was seen and the offer made and accepted. Tho land owner rush 1 back to No. 2 to close the sale but when ho g(t there. No. 2 simply smiled anl said: "The New York man has chang ed his mind, He IIiiiIh tho alternate rnlu and dust lieie too niudi for Ills delicate health und Intends to dep'irt on thenext steamer. This decision was reached only a few minutes befoie you came In. I am very sorry." In a little oflleo In the busiest part of tho city, Nos. 1, 2 and 3 got together it Bhort tlmo after and divided up tho $500 into three equal parts, feeling they had been amply repaid for their trou ble. ..

The special ndvnntngcs claimed for Pocahontas coal Is that It only makes three per cent nsh and Is almost smolto- less. Its steaming radius ton for ton is about one-third greater than any other loal mined In the world. Tlili fact hns been established by repeated experiments made by the Navy D--partment.
