Oar Ureat Oppartaalty.
A special International edition of the
^ Manufacturer, published by the Manufacturers'
Club of Philadelphia, contains
a full report at the proceedings of
the International or Pan-American
Commercial Congress held in that city.
These proceedings form in thcmselve;
valuable matter, which all American
f manufacturers and uicrchants would do
well to keep on file.
The importance of the congress, the
; purpose of which Is to promote closer
*?<!? relations between the United
States and her sister republic* In South
and Central Americas and Mexico, cannot
be overestimated. In Che reciprocal
trade which should and will be built up
among the countries of thl* hemisphere
the United States has a great deal to
gain. Uuc4> of the trad* which goes to
Eumpe can be diverted in this direction
and It is to this end that the Commercial
; Congress is working.
[' ' Commenting on what hi to be gained
for this country, a* one of the results of
this worthy movement.the Manufactruer
shows that herf tof?*re the balance of
trade with South America has been
enormously against us and says that It
is a subject calling for a great deal of at:
tcntlon.
It Is clcar. of course." says the Manufacturer.
"that South America and the
other America states need the goods,
and more particularly the manufactured
goods, which we have to sell, and which
we-ought to sell to these creditor nations,

Trtt mph afWeat Virginia Coal.
There are many people In West Vlrj-:
glnla who. though they realize the rapid
advancement that Is being made In the
development of the coal industry of the
state, and are posted upon the vast extent
of the territory, the richness of the
coal veins and the Important place the
state occupies as a producer, are not
wholly aware of the triumphs that aje
; being achieved by our product In the
outside w??rld.
As already stated In the Intelligencer,
> the statistics of coal production In the
United States lajt year showed West
Virginia to be third in tho list of states,
h and Is hustling Ohio very close for second
place. Our production last year was
almost J3.000.000 tons, the exact figures
being 12,876.206, valued at $*,336,686. Thlfl
was an Increase of a million and a half
tons over the previous year. In spite of
the general business depression.
80 much for our progress In point of
production. It is very gratifying to all
West Virginians; but in this connection
we desire to call attention to
ft fact which Is not generally
known outride of the coal trade,
with regard to the reputation held by
certain of our coals abroad, which Intures
a future enormous market for
them, a market' which haw hitherto been
controlled by foreign coals.
It may not, for Instance, be known by
many that Pocahontas coal, mined In
the Pocahontas region In this state, enjoys
the Unique distinction of being tho
only coal In the world that has been officially
endorsed by the governments of
both Great Britain and the United States
as the best steam fuH now mined. Heretofore
the Cardiff coal, mined In Wales,
has had that distinction, but the rapid
exhaustion of the Cardiff fields and the
relative cost of Cardiff and American
coals have caused the British government
to look Into the possibilities ot the
British coal trade In South America being
supplanted by the American product.
The British ambassador at Washington,
who has, at the direction of hi* government,
made a thorough Investigation,
reported more than two years ago that
for steam vessels the West Virginia coals
, were equal to If not superior to the Cardiff
product, and In a report made by Mr.
Arthur Peol to Sir Julian Pauncefoto It
was stated that If favorable freight rates
could be secured on American coal the
foreign (South American) coal markets,
With a proper protective tariff, which
will make It possible for West Virginia
coals to meet in competition with foreign
coals at the seaboard, and a lino of
American vessels sailing under our own
flag between this country and tho countries
of South America, tho West Virginia
coal Industry will have opened up
to it a great market rich In possibilities.
We are practically only at the beginning
of a development which means prosperity
in the future for all our people.
|*enil?mtNK School Tnehtri,
The question of the pensioning of public
school teachers has been more or less
agitated In many of the states, but although
there are many so-called pension
laws In large cities and in some of the
states, New Jersey is the first to enact a
general law providing for an income to
veteran Invalided public school teachers.
The law possesses the merit of imposing
no additional hardship on the taxpayers.
It merely grants to the teachers
a charter under which they may tax
themselves to provide for their agpd and
helpless comrades who have spent all the
best years of their lives in the work of
education. There is no appropriation
from the public treasury, the pension
fund, by the simple method of self taxation.
being maintained by the teachers
themselves, but it Is received. Invested
and administered by the state.
The contribution, or tax. Is one per cent
of a teacher's saJary, which is deducted
at the time of the payment of the salary,
so that a teacher whose income is 1500,
which would bo an extremely hitch average
for West Virginia, pays into the
fund but five dollars per year, a small
amount in itself, yet helping to swell a
big fund, when the great number of
teachers in a progressive state Is considered.
In many of the cltlc? other systems
prevail such as the compulsory Insur1
ance system and the slate pension system.
but the New Jersey teachers seem
to have evaded all of the objections that
i are urged againert such laws, by taking
' the matter in their own hands, with the
I aid and the sanction of the state.
There are a great many reasons why
this faithful class of public servants
should be thus cared for in their old age
and during sickness. They are obliged
to educate themselves for this very nereis?
and their opportunities for laying
up money are extremely limited. They
virtually sacrifice their lives to the
causo of education, and their work is
hard, responsible and ill-rewarded. The
establishment of a state fund by taxatt-Aiild
doubtless
wuj? iui i??n> I'm- r? >
meet with poor favor from many people,
but the New Jersey plan steers clear of
every objection.
Social Parity In Part*.
A social purity reform movement Is
actually In progress In Paris. A bill Is
now pending In the chamber of deputies,
with good prospects of passage, to blacklist
certain works of art in the city that
are held by the reformers to be immoral.
A similar warfare Is being conducted
against literature, which has heretofore
been popular because it was so distinctively
French In Us tone, and the prosecution
of men and women for immoral
doings Is Just now active.
We have grown so accustomed to hearing
of the freedom that prevails at the
French capital in these matters that the
news of such a reform beginning In the
very legislative halls of the government

would seem strange Indeed If Paris, of
all other cities In Europe should be
forced to undergo a purifying process.
Paris may not be so wicked as she has
been painted, but she has enjoyed the
reputation of being the gayest of the gay
so long that.should she suddenly awaken
to And herself undergoing a moral revolution,
she would experience what would
be to her a novel distinction.
A mischievous boy in a New Jersey
town went into a revival meeting and
pretended to have an uncontrollable attack
of sneezing In order to disturb the
worshippers. The youth thought he was
having a great time until the forced
sneezing turned to a horrible reality and
he was unable to stop the spasm which
seized upon him. He kept on sneezing
and all the doctors in the town could not
relieve him. He Is now lying at the point
of death from cxhau?tlon. Some of the
church members believe It was a Judgment
sent from heaven. Whether it was
or not, if the young man recovers ho will
probably profit by his experience and refraln
hereafter from such sacrellglous

A BEAUTIFUL TRADITION.
A Masonic legend C*nu*clH with lh?
HhIIiIIuk of Kulomou'i Tempi*.
There Is a tradition among Free
Masons that the site upon which the
Temple of Solomon wai built was owned
In common by two brothers, one of
whom had a family, the other none.
One night after the harvest, the elder
brother said to his wife:
"My younger brother is unnble to
bear the heat and burden of the dny. I
will arise, take some of my shocks and
place them without hla knowledge
among his shocks."
The younger brother, being actuated
by similar kind motives, said within
himself:
"My brother has a family and I
have none. I will contribute to their
support. I will take of my shocks and
place them without his knowledge,
among his shocks."
Great was the astonishment of both
when, on the following morning, they
found their shocks undiminished.
This happened several nights In succession,
when each resolved to stand
guard and solve the mystery. They did
so. and on the following night the two
brothers met half way between their
respective shocks with arma full of gol

by love thot any enduring structure
can be built. On no other basis can
peace and good will, justice and righteousness
be established among men for
all generations. Better foundations for
all the Interests of mankind can no one
lay than those which are laid in the
best affections of the heart.
The Temple of Solomon has long ago
crumpled to ruinz, and the place where
it once stood can hardlv be pointed out
to the pilgrim; but Freemasonry which
exemplifies the beautiful tradition of
the location of the temple and transmits
the legend of Its building has defied
the ravages of time and the persecutions
of ignorance, bigotry and intolerance.

"BOCK OF AGES."
Interesting Sketch of th? Author of thr
Popnlnr Hymn.
London Sunday Magazine: The recent
proposal to eelebrate the association
of Augustus Montague Toplady
with Trinity College. Dublin, has placed
the author of "Hock of Ages" onco
more on the borders of the living land.
In truth, there Is some need to have the
name of Toplady recalled to us, for, although
everybody knows his famous
hymn, the man himself Is all but forgotten.
Yet TopUdy wos a notable
cnaracter in the theological circles of
M- time. Toplady was the son of a
in th? nrmv. and was born in
1740. at FArnham. In Surrey. Hit father
was killed at the siege of Carthagena
before the boy was a year old, and the
future preacher was thus left solely to
the care of his widowed mother?a. sister.
by the way, of Rev. Mr. Bate, the
rector of St Paul's Deptford. Like
Charles Wesley he was a pupl! at
Weatminster school, from which he
passed In due time to Trinity College.
Dublin, his mother having removed to
Ireland. According to Toplady's own
account, his conversion was brought
about when he was only sixteen, by
hearing n worklngman preacher named
Morris. In a barn, at a place called
Codymaln. He died of consumption, in
1778.
1 Toplady, besides being a laborious
student, had early employed himself In
the diversion of versemaking. Indeed,
he printed a little volume in Dublin in
1759, when he was only nineteen. Later
on. while at Broad Hembury, he Issued
a collection of no fewer than four hundred
and nineteen "Psalms and Hymns
for Public and Private Worship," a
considerable number of which were
from his own pen. There ^are something
like one -hundred and thirty-three
hymns attributed to Toplady. but only
a very few of these have attained to
anything like popularity. Indeed, If
we except "Rock of ARes." "Your Harps
Ye Trembling Saints." and perhaps
"Object of m.v First Desire," we shall'
be safe In saying that Toplady's hymns
have quite passed Into oblivion, or at
least are remembered only by the curIai??
in such matters.
Curiously enough, this favorite nymn

purpose, and It was the Wesley*
