Baron James ROtHScLil0.

TIE cable informs us of the death in
Paris, Monday of Baron James Roths-
child, the head of the famous Continent
tai Banking House, which has branches
in all the principal cities of Europe.
James Rothschild, born May 5, 1892
was at first with his brother Solomon,
in Vienna, but subsequently removed to
Paris, where he confined himself close
~ to business, seldom quitting the city.
He was one of the five brothers, and the
last survivor, who composed the emin-
ent firm but members of the third and
fourth generation have been made part
ners. The Rothschilds have long been
the great money power of the Old
World, having been for many years the
principal lenders to the European ma
tons. SO great was their capital, that
is proverb on the Continent that no

The Austrian Emperor gave them
their title, Baron of the Empire, on ac-

which, however, they did not feel with
their immense capital.
James though he gave magnificent
was VIGOROUSLY mean
ana very unpopular. The Paris wits
had many jests and shot many arrows Of
satire at the old money-getter Whenever
they met HIM in the Boulevards, or saw
him summing his gray hairs in the Bots
or the Champs Elysees. So wide was
his reputation for penuriousness, that
the be1gars never asked him for aims.

face in one OF his pictures out of revenge

The Price Of COal-VHat is its
Cause f?

The Baltimore Gazette of recent date
has the following article ON the prices of
coal which exposition, it says, it makes,
not with any hope of bringing down
present high rates, but simply to show
how it happens that they have become
SO high:
Will any one of the great coal mining
corporations be good enough to explain
how it happens that the price of anthra-
cite Gal has been steadily advancing in
the face offs falling market for agricul-
tural produce We know very well
that the current explanation is that
strikes at the mines last sum Nor have
sensibly diminished the supply of coal,
and that the enhanced price Is but the
natural consequence of these combina-
tions to raise the rate of wages. Such
an explanation has sufficient substra-
tum OF truth to quiet ordinary inquirers
but it does not tell the whole story. To
cast all the blame upon the miners, and
thus leave it to be inferred that their
employers would be very glad to sell at
lower prices if they could, is to give the
latter credit for great deal more phil
anthropy than they really possess. No
one gu astions tho fact that strikes did
occur during the past summer through
out Shuylkil and Carbon counties, and
in portion also of Lucerne Co. There
may possibly nave been some minor
combinations elsewhere, but if so we
have no knowledge of them. Neverthe.
less, as the miners were again set to work
some after the lapse or few weeks,
others after longer time-the supply OF
coal cannot fairly be said to be now in
adequate to the demand, as production
is sill going vlgorousl : on, and as coal
could be bought at the mouth of the
mine, no later than 6O days ago, as low
as $3.50 ton.
Ii the lroprletors Of the coal mines
could afford to sell coal at the abSve-
named price Wien the supply was less
than it Is at present, we should like to
know how il happens that they insist
on now + ceiying from $3.50 to "a ton
for the safae coal, also sold at the mouth
of the mine.
Again: there is another thing that
puzzles us quite as 1. UGH. The cost OF
ccal from the mine to the
principal points Of delivery on the rail,

Very Cool.

The following conversation was heard
few days since, between a notorious
burglar in Hartford, Conn. Jail, and n
man whose store he robbed of large
quantity of silks:
q. How did you know the value Of
the stock, and where the silks were?-
A. Oh, the newspapers, 1 see, say
that it was mystery how we should be
able to go right to the silks. Nonsense.
No mystery at all. 1 can go 8 raight to
the silks in any large establishment
here or in New York, for they always
keep the silks under the skyiight-if
there is skylight. If the store has an
extension Of only one story, on purpose
for skylight, l always know that there
are the silks, no matter what city the
store may be in.
@. But how did you get in?
"A. We squeezed in through the lit
window and the head of the grating be-
low it, and went in through the cellar
door.
q. l should hardly have thought it
pos: ible to get through that place. 1 re-
member the door, though it was locked,
had been sprung in getting in and out
boxes of goods. How did you get it
open.
A. Oh, easy; if it had been cast
iron door. we should have gone in, for
we had tools to do it with; we know
you Mr.. Brown, d your habits-what
time you go home-how many clerks,
porters, and cash boys you employ: 1
came by the store early one morning
when it was few minutes late in OPEN
ing, and tn re was crowd of porters,
clerks and cash boys waiting to get in
knew you were always full of custo-
mers, and knew that no store would
keep SO many cash boys unless it was do
ing a large business; 1 knew what time
you shut up i'm the evening. and Iknew
that your habit is not to come back to
the store again. some of these other
merchants come bacl to the store again
after closing, and go about town, and
now and then take look at the store
to see if it is all right; you don't; when
you go home, yOn stay there.
q. But don't you think it rather
rough on woyoung men who have been
in the business only two years, sta, ting
with small capital, and cannot Afford q
loss, to break into their store and rob
them of eight or ten thousand dollars.
when there are other stores that would
scarcely feel the loss?
A. Yes, by! and if had known
that we would never have touched your
shop! You may smile and not believe
me; but tell you honestly tn at there
is as much honor and respect for fair
play among our folks as there is with
anybody.

COMMISSIONS OF REVENUE ASSES
sORs.-The comptroller of the Treasury,
under date of Nov. 10, to the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, decides that
the law of July co. 1868, allows assessors
a commission of one-fourth of one per
cent, on account o. tax collected on
spirits distilled since the passage of the
other commissions allowed. This is an
increase upon the salary and commits
sions heretofore allowed, as under the
former laws commissioners were limited
to twenty-five hundred dollars in addi-
ton to salary of fifteen hundred dollars
This decision will give many assessors
of internal revenue two or three hous.
and dollars increase of salary.

siton that he is the only soldier worthy
of such eXaltation."

EVEN strong Democratic papers, like

ming to talk in this way:
"And what shall we do now? Our
advice would be to disband the Demo-
cratic party at once, for it is pretty eff
fectually killed off, and organize new
conservative party to support Grant, if
his course shall justify it. In this way
the Radical leaders may be sloughed of
from the administration and great con-
sentative party built up that will con-
troll the destinies of the country. The
Wing party went under in 1862, when
it was not worse beaten than the DEM
