Foldinir now is uone largely by automatic machines, as well as gathering, stitching and pastinir.

At present it includes commercial bodies and shippers In every state in the Union, but will not be satis- Americans. Owing to the almost constant instal lation of new' machinery which does the Recently compiled fltrures on the nro duction of ooal In Washington and Ore gon show that although both states suf rered a decided falmg off in the output of the "black diamonds" in 1005. while Oregon's production suffered a still fur ther dcrease, Washington mined 411, 258 tons more than in 1005, an increase in value of $757,176. Despite the lnr ger output in Washington over .the pre ceding year, only 4520 men found em ployment In the coal fields during 1900 as against 4705 in 1905. This was in part compensated for byan increase of from 22 to 2(10 in the average number of working days for each man, ' show ew Yorker how rapidly they have progressed in the matter of com munication. Then yeara ago the sus pension of telegraphio communication would have been of vast inconvenience to the city. At the present time, even if the strike had been successful to the point of stopping all telegrams, the difficulty would have been by no means insurmountable, or many classes of business the telephone has almost sup planted the telegraph and New York is better supplied with telephones than any other city in the world, having twice as many as London, when the atnke began there was a rush to the headquarters of the telephone company to secure add! tional wires. It was found, however, that at most of the exchanges it was impossible to make any considerable ex tensions on account of the fact that there was not room for the operators. Practically all the big business houses having branches in other cities now do their business over the talking wire. New York does most of its long-distance talking to Philadelphia and next to that comes Boston, 100 wires being required to handle the through business between the two cities. The fact that it is pos sible to talk from New York to almost any place in the country within two thousand miles leaves only the Pacific Coast and a"few other places that are dependent upon the telegraph for quick communication with the metropolis. There is good-sized representation of the nobility of Europe in the country's largest city and the jokes about the Haron who are serving as waiters and the Counts who operate the humble hurdy-gurdy are by no means all fig ments of the comic writers' Imagina tions. Even one self-made Emneror. Jacques I of the Sahara, make New York his residence. Almost every day some representative of the titled gen try figures in the local news. There was one day of the present week, however, when the newspaper contained reports of the marriage to a wealthy young woman oi a JLmKe who not only did not insist upon a dot of millions but actually gave his bride 'an ancient castle aa a wedding present, the failure in business of a Baron who is the husband of 'a light opera star, the incarceration of another Baron for pawning bis financier dia- monda and pocketing the proceeds, and the announcement of plans for the ap proaching visit of Prince WSlhelm of Sweden As Chuck Conner of the Bow ery expressed it after showing Prince Henry the sights of Chinatown, "Nuttin1 in de king line kin faze us now." . An indication o the progress that New York is making toward deserving the title of "the city that never Bleeps." is afforded by Postmaster-General Mey er's announcement that he intends to in troduce an evening delivery of mail at hattau. The reasons given for this ac tion are the necessity for lightening tbe burden of the early morning deliveries and also to make it possible to send a letter in the city and receive an answer the same day. New Yorkers are fairly well accustomed to the all nih hlr ' the all night court, all nieht law ffiA and barber shops and dental establish ments. When they can receive their mail at any hour of the 24 there will small reason for going to bed at all in Manhattan. TIPS MOLTEN LEAD OVEB LEG.
