prieo Of coal, rs evidenced hy tile sales in New
1prh' there Ia considerable talk about the r.
taollEA'ag OF two new coal-yards here and t;yo

[umor only lis to put the prize Of coal down
tar oeiow the present high prices, $3.50 per ton
TOT anthracite, with prospect that after Oct.
the price would be raised. For number Of
years past there has been combination existing
between all the yards, with severe penalties i'm
pending and threatened, on any one who broke
Inc compact. greater monopoly never ex~
lstcu, and IN this the yards have been in effect
sustained by the press. for in some Instances
articles ana communications written denuncia-
tory OF tue monopoly have been refused admis-
sion to the columns Of more than one
OF tho English dailes. Free trade is ignored. and
tree speech Is limited Or denied. but the nros
pect is now that q a change is coming over the
spirit OF the dream ~ Of the coal-dcalers, and it
is not at all improbable that the people who
have SO long been oppressed By an outrageous
combination from unjust monopoly will derive
great benefit from the severance OF the tiara of
olacK diamonds that has bound together the
coal-dealcrs Of Milwaukee.
A MONUMENT TO TIE DEAD.
among the lost from the wrecked Schiller off
me sc:lly Islands were Mr.. Henry Friend md
MS wife Frances, formerly Miss Samuels, OF
New York. By the sad loss Of that steamer q
large family of children, twelve in
number, were bcrctt Of both father aud
was the funeral at the late residence of the de-
ceased could scarcely be imagined. The bodies
were emballncd and sent home. The deep re-
spect in which the living had been held was at
tested BY the attendance Of all classes at the
funeral ceremonies. The funeral itself was the
longest tn its procession ever seen in Milwau-
kce, and the attendants far more numerous
than even at that Of Solomon Juneau, the
founder Of our city.
The bodies were inferred in Greenwood Gem
etcry, opposite the Forest Home, which was
first established by the deceased, Henry Friend
Ihe grounds consist of ten acres, and they are
being much bcautica this summer. There is
OIL the way from the East one Of tho finest mon-
urncnts ever erected in the Northwest. Its
cost, when all completed and placed in the cem-
etery, will be not lar from $1,000. 1t is testi-
monial from the brothers, ctc., OF tile deceased,
who are among the oldest and wealthiest Of our
clothing merchants. The house Of Friend g.
Brothers, of whom the deceased was the head.
is known throughout the Northwest, as It was
established nearly thirty years ago.
LAGER BEER.
A fuss has commenced about the manner Of
drawing lager beer. It is claimed by the
glass; as the beer, being surcharged with gas,
perhaps carbonic-acid gas,-the froth fills the
glass, and that when the beverage has settled
there is not more than half glass of beer.
Our Teutonic brethren are sensitive in their na-
tions1 habit Of beer-drlnking, and are getting
awake to the tricks heretofore played upon
them by the saloon-kecpers. Doubtless the
hard times has sharpencd their sense of justice.
Several communications have appeared calling
attention to the new Austrian law that compels
their glasses below which the froth must not
fall. It creates stir. particularly among the
Germans.
COAL AGAIN.
One Of the evening papers, at last, comes out
in favor of the consumers Of COAL and calls at
tention to the fact It says: " It has been
noted in the city within day or two that the
price OF Lackawanna coal is kept up here ut fg-
ire OF 81 per ton higher than in Chicago" As
the fact has been known here for at least two
months, the discovery Of the truth in the jour
nal referred to is remarkable, and, Of course,
"just as We predicted"

The Rev. Tor Mr.) Robert Collyer, Of your city,
has preached here for the past three Sundays in

through the hot-air registers.
While on church matters, will mention that
there are Indications Of storm brewing in All
Saints Cathedral (High-C Church Episcopai) in
this city. It seems there is little trouble about
tile method or manner of d lady's teaching Of
class IN the Sunday-schoul. It bids fair to be
before it is settled.
