Imperfect combustion is certain to result in excessive smoke. The most careful, conscientious work of the fireman and engineer and the best mechanical appliances can only partially overcome this.

Nine chances out of ten it is A QUESTION OF COAL PURELY. "One of the most serious problems confronting the steam engineer is the BURNING OF SOFT COAL WITHOUT THE FORMATION OF BLACK SMOKE." This is the written statement of one of the greatest authorities in the world on coal, who adds: "This problem depends for its solution as much upon economic work in the fire-room as on patented furnaces." What is the MOST ECONOMIC Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovitch. Apparently in Good Health Up to Today. Yesterday Took Part in Military Parade. WEBSTER COAL When thousands of women say that they have been cured of their ailments by a certain remedy, does this not prove the merit of that remedy Thousands of women have written the story of their suffering, and have told how they were freed from it by Lydia E.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for thirty years these reports have been published all over America. Without great merit this medicine could never have gained the largest sale of any remedy for woman's ills-never could have become known and prized in nearly every country in the world. Can any woman let prejudice stand between her and that which will restore her health If you believe those who have tried it you know this medicine does cure. iRead this letter from a grateful woman, then make up your mind to give Mrs. Pinkham's medicine a chance to cure you.

Brooklyn, N. Y. "I am a firm believer in Lydia E. Pink, ham's Vegetable Compound. I was a grreat sufferer from organic female troubles for years, and almost despaired of ever being well asain.

I had bearinp-down pains, backache, headache and pains in mv abdomen, and tried Mrs. Pinkham's Compound as a last resort." The result was astonishing, and I have used it and advocated it ever since. It is a great boon to expectant mothers. I have often said that I should like to have its merlto thrown on the skv with a search-light so that women would read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their sufferinijs. My husband joins me in its praise.

He has used it for kidney trouble and heen entirely cured." Mrs. K. A. Bishop, 1915 Atlantic Brooklyn, N. Y.

Because it does not clinker in the furnace, requiring frequent "slicing," it allows an abundance of oxygen to pass through the bed of the fire and it does not become necessary to let in cold air above the fire, thus lowering the temperature of the furnace. pre petition is possible, "the authority quoted says; "smoke consumption, however, may be said to be practically impossible. You can get into communication with our expert mechanical engineer without charge, by simply addressing a letter to us stating what you desire to know. the famous steam-producing coal mined in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, is PRACTICALLY A SMOKELESS COAL, because of its remarkably low volatile properties and the low percentage of sulphur and iron. It more than answers the most exacting thermal tests made by the largest coal consumers in the world and earns a premium from most of them.

It gives that almost perfect combustion WITHOUT smoke and increases the degree of heat. Producing MORE heat and ST PETERSBURG Feb' 17 Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovitch died here this evening. Death was caused by asthma, followed by an attack of heart failure, lie was apparently in good Jiealth yesterday when he participated in a mill tary parade here. The Grand Duke Vladimir was the uncle of the oar. brother of the late Alexander III, father of the czar.

He was tremendously fond of Americans. He came front that race of giants in whom Russia takes such prWe. If he had ascended the throne lie would have dropped the pacific policies of the czar and become the Russian's ideal of his liege. He was one of the greatest reactionary forces in Russia, and, witii Grand Dukes Serge and Alexis, was bitterly opposed to reform. The troops on the fatal day of Jan 22.

'TRACTICAtTcHRlTIIANITY." Designation for Noon Meeting in Tremont Temple Tomorrow Ser-' mon on "The Burden-Bearer." The name chosen for the noon meeting In Tremont temple tomorrow is the "Practical Christianity Day." the purpose being to give expert suggestions as to the methods of relieving the necessities of the poor, by direct giving, furnishing employment, or other means of relief. The meeting will be open to men only, and the singing will begin 30 minutes earlier than usual, in order to afford time for three addresses. The first speaker will be Rev Dr Samuel M. Crothers of the First Unitarian pariah, Cambridge, who will describe the work of existing philanthropic organizations. He will be followed by Rev Dr D.

W. Waldron. city missionary of the Congregational city missions, who. from his more than 26 years of experience, will tell how best practical Christianity can be applied.

"I don't know what that can mean a saloo nkeeper in a prohibition state?" said the evangelist. "Blind tiger." called somebody in the gathering, and thtre was a general laugh. "Never mind. I believe you will find much less liquor sold there unedr prohibition than was the case under license, and there is only one position for the Christian man to take, and that is against the saloon." Cannot Lead Selfish Lives. Dr Chapman took his text from Kze-kiel, 4: "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof." Alter explairing wnat the text referred Dr Chapman said he wondered if sich a journey was made through Boston today how many of the people wculd be marked.

"No city can be saved until its people awake to a sense of their own responsibility," said he. He recalled the sayings of of St Paul and of Christ himself, similar to that given in the text, and said these uuctatlons lead him to say that we cannot lead selfish lives and be turd Christians. "We canno- shut ourselves within oul homes and remain of toe sin in those about us. We must no: remain shut up in our own homes when all about us are those needing a helping nand, those who need your aid and ut all men to have this spirit to cry out against the abominations about them our ministers should stand hrst. Wc are told a clergyman is an evangelist with a sweet storv.

but we nee.t in the pulpit today men with sympathy, men willing to put themselves in the place of others. The people will forgive almost anvthing In a clergyman if he nas but the true spirit of sympathy. This point he illustrated with several very touching stories and went on to say that if this spirit of sympathy is needed in the ministers it is also needed in the people of the city. The spirit of each Christian should cry out against the sins about him and his sympathy aid to bring the erring to the right. Thev should show this spirit in their church membership and unless they do it Is of little avail.

"Unless you have that spirit," said he. "you are hurting some one else about you. The captain of a steamship in a bad told me It was not the storm he feared, not the fog and not the ice. but derelicts, those unmanned, unsteered things in the way of the progress of other vessels. "L'nless vou have that spirit.

sai Dr Chapman, "you are like the derelicts and are doing harm to others. I wonder if Jehovah came, today if he would put his mark on your forehead and on mine? You shudder at tha story of the village which objected to the name of God and had it removed from all books and other things within the village limits, but you are putting him out of your hearts. You have got to consider him. and while I do not know your politics you have no right to be a politician where the best interests of your city are concerned. Work for Every Christian.

"I believe it would be a shame If Boston did not put its best men in office, men who will stop the power of iniquity. It would be a shame upon the people of the city which has been rocking with the power of these revivals, and if they have been genuine revivals they will beat their way into city hall, and will mean a better city, better living and better thinking. "If every Christian man here today would agree to be responsible for one other man, to say that he will write to him or to pray with him. it would mean thousands of converts. Don't think they will not listen to you; do not think they will not receive your letters, and do not fear that they would resent it." said he.

Gen Miles, that famous Indian fighter, used to declare that Geronimo-pronounced "Hayronlmo." by tha way-was tho worst Indian that ever lived. "Geronimo, who was an Apache, earned his reputation of being the worst Indian when he. was causing trouble in the southwest.

cruelty knew no bounds. For nearly half a. century he led a baud of Apaches o'n the warpath, and cost the government hundreds of lives and millions of treasure before he was laptured by Gens Miles and l.awton, In 1SS. in the Four Peaks basin, near Prescott, Ariz. The prisoners were sent to Mt Vernon barracks.

Ala, but the cliivite did not agree with them, and many died of consumption. But Geronimo, although he was then something over a y-ra old. lived on, an dafterwards attained, wiiat lor an Indian warnoi, is a gieat age. Geronimo was born someilme about 1820. The exact date Is uncertain, and even Geronimo did not know or would not tell It.

According to his story it was some 10 vears or more later. The Sunday school library tale which he told of himself wat briefly stated- was born on my father's ranch my up on the table land at the head of "he Gila river in Arizona, while it was a part of Mexico. My people were agricultural and pastoral people, tilling the soil, raising their own wheat, corn and vegetables and herding horses, attle and sheep. They knew little ot but would fight occasionally when other Indians would come to steal our and women. We had lived on tho table lands a long time, and many of our people had never seen a face The nearest Mexicans lived far.

far away and we lived in contentment and happiness. "As bov 1 worked with the rest, planting corn by making little holes with sticks and covering the kernels witli our lingers, and pulling grass by the roots for the cattle, tor we had never seen a scythe and our big knives cost much labor. "My grandfather was a chief, but my father was not. Chiefs are not elected, but win by llu-ir prowess and shrewdness. Indians are like wl ite men; they get what they can and keep what they get unless a bigger man takes it away.

"My father died when I was 9 or 10 years old and I had to take care of myself. When I was 14 or 15 1 went with three other boys on our first hunt, with bow end arrows made by ourselves. We spied three deer and they were running and jumping around so that it made us all nervous, but I was less nervous than the rest. I dropped on my knee, looked along my arrow and shot it clean through my deer, so it stuck out the other side. We roasted and ate the deer, I he whole of it, and then I turned hunter.

"1 supported myseif, then my wife, loo and then mv family In tl at way. I bought horses, for the valleys were -ood for them, and I was getting rich. One day a lot of Mexicans came lo the village when 1 was away, and when I came home I found they had killed ny wife and two papooses, 3 and a vears old. "It made mv heart sorry for myself to see them, but hard for the Mexicans. Did I retaliate? Well.

I don't want to talk about war; I have got all VtXftae while, about 1S45 or 1S50, the got a lot of us Apaches down to Sonora. to make a treaty, as they said, for there had been trouble for vears. When we got there the Mexicans brought out great buckets of Whisky, and almost all the Indians were fools and got drunk. 1 dldn drink and so escaped on my horse, as did five others. All the Others 84 who drank were killed by the Mexicans.

"Afterward the Mexican played the same trick on a party of over 80 Apaches. Hut I was no fool Indian, and 1 was the onlv one who got away. "Then, after the Mexican war. tho white ni'en came ami ran us off, because they liked lie beautiful table land Which was our The fact was, however, that Gerouimo acknowledged to be what he claimed was chief at the age of only :6 years. He hated white men from.

the earliest days of his recollection, despisintr not onlv the civilized customs, but the conventional dress of the paleface. He be-came the merciless enemy of the Mexicans and the white people who came from the east, and was for more than two vears dreaded as a scourge. In the early '70s Geronimo was one of three great chiefs who infested rhe Dragon and Chiricahua mountains, an 1 old Cochise, father of Natchez, Geroni-mo's lighting companion, was one of 'hem. Cochise made a treaty of peace with Gen O. O.

Howard, and kept aUhfully until his death. Geronimo isked to be included in the treaty, and was. but asked a pass to take his family from camp, killed his dogs to prevent noise, assembled the tribe, escaped sons were murdered, and a decaoe De-fore, in the six years between 1856 and 18ti2. 4.3 persons fell victims to the scalping knives of the Apaches, under various leaders, of whom Geronimo was most conspicuous. Gen Crook had asked to be relieved because of the unfortunate circumstances which had befallen his endeavors, and Gen Nelson S.

Miles, commander-in-chief of the army, began the most tireless campaign ever waged against the redskins, and in this he was aided by Gen l.awton. Geronimo and his band were run to earth on the Yaqui river, in a country almost impassable for man or beast. The only points of entrance to the tableland upon which they had placed their camp were from the river, up or down. There was an attempt to close the escape from there, but one of the Indians caught sight of the red hatband of a scout, and the whole party fled up the river. But the band was nearly exhausted by starvation and hard marches, and in a few days Geronimo came In haughty as conqueror, began a parley which lasted several days during which Law-ton's troops feared the fate which had befallen others.

Finally Geronimo agreed to formally surrender to Gei Miles, and then for the first time it was discovered that there were only 18 bucks In Geronlmo's remnant, with a few women, and that these were in distress. These, too, were sent to Florida, and there held as prlnsoners, although with considerable liberty until they were transferred to fort Sill. Ariz, in 1S1M. There Geronimo had opportunity to gratify his favorite passlor outside of war and murder that of gambling. H-3 was an inveterate poker player, am! was a dangerous opponent, for his impassive face gave no hint of the value of his hand, lie was a constant bluffer, and was always on his guard against such tricks being played on him.

However, he was constantly temrted to overestimate his cards, and this fact prevented his getting rich at the a result which was the dream of hu life. He had six wives, whom he supported well, while to his favorite daughter. Eva, he furnished money to keep her at school in the east. There was story, in 1900, that the sins and the memories of the past had driven the old man to insanity, and pathetic descriptions by grapnic writers were given of his ravings and Imbecile remorse. But all these were denied on reliable authority.

In March. the vagaries of bis desires took another phase, and he wanted to become good. In fact, hn was really anxious to become a citizen and a friend of the "great father" at Washington. Hut all this was coupled With the request that he be set at liberty-, a suggestion which bnuight shudders to the whole southwestern region. "Geronimo is old and weak," he said.

"Great father is young and strong, lis! arm is like a writhe, and his teeth are long and sharp." But he was practically free for years ever since his removal from the Florida everglades, although under constant serveillance, he had a small farm, which he tilled at a profit, besides which he received $35 a month as "government scout." and still had time to indulge in horseraeing, which was only second to poker in his affections. Gen Frank Armstrong. to whom Geromino's request was referred, looked Into the matter and recommended that ho be paroled and made a citizen, with the 298 other Apaches then In captivity. In his "Personal Reminiscences" Gen Miles thus describes Geronimo at the time of the chief's surrender: "Geionimo rode into our camp and dismounted. He was one of the brightest, most resolute, determined-looking men that I had ever encountered.

Ho had the clearest, sharpest dark eye 1 think I have ever seen. "Every movement indicated power, energy "and determination. In everything he di.l he had a purpose. "The Indians that surrendered with Geronimo have probably never been matched since the days of Robin Hood. They were clad in such a way as to disguise themselves as much as possible.

Masses of grass, bunches of weeds, twigs of small boughs were fastened under their hit bands very profusely and also upon their shoulders and backs.

"There is a gentleman here from Richmond, Va, who knows how that Song ought to be sung," said Mr Alexander, "so do your bst," and when the end of the popular hymn came he said: "Why, even the Ricnmond gentleman applauded that. He had to applaud.

XoU are doing well when you can get a Richmond man to applaud a Boston auiiience in that hymn." Then he continued: "Now we've heard from Indiana and from Scotland, so we will have Rev Mr Atkinson of Liverpool. Eng. sing one verse of it." The clergyman did so In a fine deep voice, and was given applause which shook the temple. "When we heard in Richmond recently that Boston was on fire with tht spirit of God." said he. "we were thanktul to be able to say that we were not merely smoking.

The evangelistic meetings of the Brook-line group, comprising the Baptist. Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal churches, were brought to a successful last evening, with everyone concerned in the management of them weli satlsfed. It is estimated that approximately 400 conversions have been the direct result of Rev Dr Frederick E. Taylor's preuching The three churches have all had definite nlans and will at once go to work on the cards that, have been signed Each of tha converts will be asked to join some church. Last evening Dr Taylor preceded his sermon with woids of appreciation for all those who have assisted him in the Brookline movement.

The chorus came in for a generous share of the congratulations.
