THE CAB STOPPER"

A man in Columbia has invented u
machine that is called the Cab stopper
1t is intended to be used on occasions of
public speaking of every dc>'. 2tion,
and will shut off any long -wind'd ,peak-
er, no matter how anxious he may "@ 10
pursue his discourse. The ma2h'M" Is
wound up like clock, and H., a DIAL
with hands an Il hummer to strike the
warning. 1t can be set to operate At any
REQUIRED time after the orator rOmmeu-
ces. and when it does operate there is no
such thing as compromise.
1t is placed Immediately behind the
speaker and when his time is up, the
hands on the dial indicate the fact and
the hammer strikes bell. This is the
first warning. II he continues to speak
Oh. small pike presently comes out of
the machine and sticks him behind. Ii
after the second warning he still defies
the machine and speaks on, an iron hand
come around from the enraged "Gab
stopper and chokes him OF, while ut
the same time u wooden mall descends
violently upon his head with force enough
to knock down mill post, and an iron
claw curries and combs him until his
bored audience are moved with SYM
pathy and rush to the rescue. A broom
then comes forward to sweep up the hair
and scraps of hide.
The machine has been tried and found
most effective for the purpose indicated.
No speaker has yet been found who
would defy 1t after being "wooled" by

The Cbal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade, we are
glad to say, maintains the same cheer.
ful aspect as Tor the past two or three
weeks. The demand for coal at the
chief centres continues good, prices
ruling generally firm and up to the
highest figure heretofore quoted The
Reading Railroad Company makes an
admirably showing in tonnage. For
the week ending on Saturday evening,
the 10Th inst. the report shows a steadi.
ly increasing production, amounting to
1893 900 tons, of which SO, 900 tons were
sent to Port Richmond. all of which was
shipped thence, leaving Of stock on
hand $4,000 tons. The Schuylkill
Canal carried during the same time
"a 900 tons. The Coal and Iron Com
pany mined during the past week 97,-
900 tons. These figures fully confirm
the wonderful capacity ever claimed for
the Reading Railroad Company as a
carrier, and as cheap carrier, when in
free competition for the general coal
market. The Schuylkill coal regioh is
not only wonderful proddcer Of coal
but it has an outlet to market through
the Reading Railt0ad not surpassed by
any other line reaching from coal fields
to tide. The present situation of the
trade, with only nine weeks left TO the
end of the coal season (November 10)j
favoTs the conclusion that prices are
not likely to fall off, and may advance.
The mines in the Lehigh Valley coal
region are now in full operation; all of
them are at work, the Summit Hill
mines of the Lehigh Navigation Com
pany, the last to come in, having re-
sumed on Wednesday last. The Honey
Brook mines did not suspend wotk at
all, and the Hazleton and all other
mines finding outlet to market from
that region have been in operation for
| two or three weeks. I he Central New
| Jersey Railroad now has its full supply
of coal, except from the Wilkes. Barre
region, and, we presume, will at once
show good returns from its increased
business. The Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company is also in a prosperous way.
Its last reported weeks tonnage was
1925 tons, as against 70, $40 tons in
corresponding week last year, and yet
during the last week of this year it had
but 1881 tons Of coal from the WyOm-
