New Y0rk.--1'he bit,lminous mar
ket continues to enlarge its scale Of
operations IN competition with An
thracite as steam fuel. At Boston,
it is said that coal has been sold at
1915 and even lower. At Buffalo
the market is uneasy with great
competitlon.-Mining Record.
Soft coal is quiet and there is Il
good tonnage going forward on con-
tracts. Prices do not pick up any,
and are not very likely to do so this
year from present indications. With
an arrangement between the trunk
line roads there may be higher tolls
and this will put prices up at the
various points of destination. Coal
is selling at $3.15@$3.35 delivered
at Boston.-Coal Trade Journal.
The demand may be shade better
but prices are not improved. Ship
pers are hopeful of u better business
and even expect better prices later in
the season. There are said to be
more steamships coming here it will
probably be found that freights this
way are light, and that the steamers
carry most of the coal needed for a
round trip. 1t is a rather fortunate
thing for the bituminous coal trade
that the Beech Greek Railroad has
been sold to the Pennsylvania, as now
seems to be fact. So far as we can
learn, shippers by that route were to
have from 90c. to 81 ton for their
coal at the mines, regardless of the

Personal.-No doubt the many
friends of James S. Grant, formerly
with G. A. Wingert, of this place, will
be pleased to learn of the honorable
position to which he has been elected
in his class at the "Philadelph.a Col
lege of Pharmacy" The class is
very large one, numbering over three
hundred students, and, notwithstand-
ing the many factions and nupiber of
aspirants for the position. which made
the election very exciting, Mr.. G. was
nominated for secretary and elected
by an overwhelming majority. The
honor is one Of the highest in the be-
stowal of the class, it being one of
great responsibility. He is known
here as most estimable and popular
young man, and this election is proof
of the esteem in which he is held by
his class.
j. j. Robinson, of Homecoming, is all
attache Of the ReoieD Office. We will
wager something nice that the benefit

Brerities.-After leaving Frostburg
Robbins show met some bad luck.
At Martinsburg the tent was blown
over on large audience by storm,
and the next day at Harper's Ferry,
one of the wildcats escaped and re-
tired from public life. Last Friday it
was killed by citizen of that place
after an unsuccessful attempt to re-
capture it.
Enjoyment at the rink this evening.
Don't slight job because you have
run against snag. You started the
job determined to do a nice piece of
work. Stick to it, and when some
thing breaks or don't come right, do
not hurry the job off with "good
enough" or ':don't care" but stick it
out and conquer the thing. Many a
man has failed, when he might have
succeeded had he chung on' little

Cumberland abandoned the scheme

all claims under the agreement. 1t
should be remembered, too, that on the

Eckhart, alarming the citizens, who
awakened to find the heavens bright

the difference between the prohibition

there is a grand lodge and a dual

journalistic heart.
The designations referred to sound
to us like "right wing" and cleft

Lawrence, Kans. June 9.-rSpecial1
Gov. Martin at the Alumni; banquet TO-
night responded to the toast, "The Uni
versity, the'Child of the State" rs fol.
lows:
1t probably did not occur to your com.
mittee, when it selected the sentiment
just announced, that the "child" has
just come of age. But this is the fact.
On the Goth of February, 1863, the Legis-
lature passed an act to establish State
University, to be located at Lawrence,
provided the city gave a site of forty
acres of land, and $4,000. In Novem-
Der following, the Governor issued a
proclamation announcing that these
conditions had been complied with.
But it was not until the first of March,
1864, that an act was passed organizing
the State University. Hence, as l have
said. this"'Child of the State" has just
some of age.
In the long, exciting and momentous
contest waged by two civilizations for
the fair territory of Kansas, four consti-
tutions were framed-three by the
champions of Free Soil; one by the ad
vocates of Slavery. If the students of
the University will examine that adj
nirable compendium Of Kansas history,
"Wilder's Annals" they can read
these old organic laws, on
each of which, for q brief season,
Humanity with all its fears
With all the hopes Of future years."
was hanging. And 1 think reading of
JUS. one article of each-that on educa-
tion-will largely explain why the one
civilization triumphed over the other,
first in Kansas and then throughout the
Union. In each of the three constitu-
tons which represent the aspirations,
ideas and purposes of the Free-State
men, the Legislature is required to make
the most ample provisions fol public ed
ucation. The old Topeka constitution,
framed in 1856, declared that the Legis-
lature shall secure thorough and eff
cient system Of common schools and es-
tablish University. The Leavenworth
constitution, framed in 1858, makes it the
duty of the State to establish "a system
of free schools, in which every child of
the State shall receive good common
school education" and also educational
institutions of higher grade, including q
University. And the Wyandotte consti-
tuition, framed in 1859, makes it the duty
of the Legislature to establish "a uniform
