The regular monthly meeting Of the Hard Coal
Exchange was held yesterday afternoon, and was
largely attended. President Colt occupicd the
chair, and Maj. Kirkland acted az Secretary.
The most important question under dlscasslon
1as tho future price Of coal. The warm winter
i.as had disastrous effect upon dealers. and tho
prevailing sentiment Was that adye1sty with
present prices was better than tho bankruptcy
which n reduction would assuredly produca in
man cases. After full consideration it was
therefore unanimously decided to maintain prices
as they nov stand-that is, $3.50 per ton FOR egg,
and $40 for range end nut. With prevailing
anall sales dealers Claim that these prices arc
barely remunezative.

TIE INT. coa1r.'s LAST.
Tho Intelligent compostor was last night set
ting up an article for THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE
Contributed, when he came across the following
passage:
"Elvira," !" he cried in passionate voice, Elrira
1y With me-"
"a antonio" she sobbed, srtng through her tears,
~ will. Blame ne il DON'T"
At that moment tall figure stepped between them,
and the sulien voce OF Hugo de Grubhs WAS heard:
"Ayaunt, elght girl. And a1 foE you, haze mnlon-"
The intelligent compositor had just got as far
as this, When q Il lllestinaats idea was born to
him, and with the remark: 1.-THE howing igno-
ra1nus! Why, m;nion wasn't invented until 1864,
and this Is 1 story Of the middle eges," Le
changed tho passage so that it read:
ASaunt, slight g1rl. And a. for you, hese hze-
Tho foreman shot him with shooting stick.
The SAD e7ent has cast gloom oveE the COM
muuity.
