Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite coal shippers are feel
ing somewhat anxious concerning the
unusually quiet state of the coal trade
for this period of the year. Eastern
wholesale dealers are not placing their
orders for coal in as satisfactory q man
ner as the shippers desire, and the yards
and pockets at the New England distri-
buting points are reported to be now
well stocked with anthracite, owing to
the backwardness of the retail dealers
and consumers in purchasing their sup
plies. New orders for coal, which have
been received from Boston during the
past week or two, are restricted to ship
ment subject to lower rate of vessel
freights than are now ruling, and in
consequence, the coal is not being for
warded.
The Western anthracite trade is still
quiet, but it continues slowly to improve.
The movement of coal to the Western
distributing points via lake and rail and
all-rail routes continues large, and has
caused scarcity of cars at some mines
owing to their being detained for return
cargoes of East-bound grain.
The general coal sales agents of the
anthracite mining and transporting COM
panies held their adjourned meeting to
consider the question of an advance in
the prices of anthracite this week. An
average advance of about 10 cents per
ton in the circular prices of broken, egg
and stove sizes was made, to take effect
on September l.
The line and city trade is unchanged
for the domestic sizes The demand for
furnace sizes is excellent, and since the
strike of the coke operators in the Con-
,nll
who have been using more anthracite,
have been urgent for immediate ship
ments of coal.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August 8, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was $780,, ,102 tons
compared with ,092 tons in the cores.
ponding week last year, an increase OF
"a, ,009 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1885
was 19, ,267, 544 tons, compared with 90,
172,547 tons for the same period last year
decrease of 905, ,003 tons. s.--Ledger.

Seventy Miles an Hour.

The Central Railroad of New Jersey
has constructed a new engine on the
most improved patterns that were OBJ
tainable. The result is that this engine
is one of the finest and feetest now
being run on any railroad in America.
The boiler is of very peculiar pattern,
resembling a double e-barreled breech-
loading gun. The engine, it is claimed,
consumes less fuel and gives more speed
than any so far heard of. A thorough
test was made and all the machinery
worked to perfection. The test also
brought to light the fact that seventy
miles could easily be covered in one
hour. The engine is at present doing
passenger service in the vicinity Of
Jersey City and is attracting close atten-
ton in railroad circles.

ments to his benevolence. DIR. Eddy is
eminent as a clergyman, scholar and
an author. All these, with Mrs. Ander-
son and Mrs. Sampson, who are also
here, are refined and noble people,
whom it is a pleasure and an honor to
know.
We have little heroine at the Har-
Ian. On Saturday, little Walter Penser,
five years old, in playing about on the
wharf, fell into the lake, between two
boats. His little sister, Elsie, eight
years old, heard him scream, and with
wonderful presence of mind ran to the
spot, and as he rose to the surface,
seized him, and with the assistance of
Mr.. Thwing's little boy, drew him out,
Most children would have been too
frightened to do anything but scream and
run for mamma. There is in this little
heroine the stuff out of which noble
women are made. Mr. Johnson was on
the opposite side of the lake, and was
preparing to swim across when the
rescue took place.
The Council met on Monday evening,
all the members being present. The
street committee presented an ordinance,
as Section of Ordinance TX, providing
penalties for breaking into the pound
and taking animals therefrom, contrary
to law. After some discussion, it was
passed by unanimous consent. Mr.. J..
P. Mace, the Mayor, exhibited drawings
of town hall, containing large room
for the Mayors Office and Council Cham
Der, and a lookup" for prisoners. The
question Of the location of the proposed
building being raised, the Mayor was re-
quested to see Mr.. III. A. DeLand, and
ascertain whether he would donate to
the town suitable lot. The committee
on rules not being ready to report, was
continued. The Marshal did not pre-
sent himself with new sureties, as re-
quested to do by resolution passed at the
previous meeting.
The meeting of the Literary Society,
on Tuesday evening, drew out good
attendance. After the calling of the roll
and the reading and approval OF the
minutes, Mrs. Weaver was proposed,
elected and initiated as a regular mem
ber. The election of officers was then
held. All the persons named for critic
having declined, Rev. E. Macy renomi-
mated Mrs. Westlake, and expressed the
hope that she would consent to serve
during the remainder of her stay. The
nomination was seconded and the elec-
ton proceeded, Mr.. 0. B. Webster and
Miss Giddings acting as tellers. The
result was as follows: President, J. Will
lis Westlake; Vice-President, Rev. E.
Macy Secretary, Miss Nellie Russell !;
Critic, Mrs. Eliza G.. Westlake; Treas
urer, Mr.. G. H. Currier; Editress, Miss
Carrie Palmer. Historian, Miss Carrie
Palmer. The question, "Should public
libraries, parks and museums be open
to the public ON Sunday?" was then dis
cussed, the affirmative being sustained
by Messrs. Webster, Currier and Colby,
and the negative by Rev. E. Macy and
Mr.. Nettleton. The president decided
in favor of the affirmative. After brief

To find fault with the teaching of
the commandments in the public
schools is to be disloyal to the gov
eminent. The command: "Thou
shalt not steal; "Thou shalt not bear
false Witness" like all the rules of
action in the decalogue, are essential
to good order of society, and the
teacher who neglects to enforce by
precept the rules in the moral code,
does not respect the laws of his
country, and is unfit to be the in
structor of youth. The statement
often made that this government is
divorced from religion is absurd.
While the government recognizes no
preferences for any form or demon
nation of the christian religion, it
acknowledges the rights of all.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1889-07-18

Congress has from the foundation of
the government, chosen chaplains to
open its sessions with prayer; it has
authorized the appointment of chap
lains in the army and navy, and has
made provision for religious services
in various institutions of the govern
ment. The country is committed to
the use of religious observances.
The valid objection to religious
teaching in the public schools is ia
voring UNCONVENTIONAL interests Or
interference with beliefs, doctrines or
creeds of Protestant, Catholic or
Jew. Partially for any particular
form Of the christian religion must
not be permitted in the schools.
Sound morality, such as is recog
nized by state legislation, should be
impressed by teachers.

of the several states representing the
national union, are requested to
nominate flower, deemed most ap.
propriate to be adopted "National
flower The floral list has been
thoroughly scanned and perhaps a
hundred different kinds of flowers
have been suggested as most suitable
for the national emblem. Here is an
opportunity for every one to suggest
a preference, and it would be a
pleasing exercise for the children in
the schools to compare notes and
discuss floral preferences. The most
beautiful and fragrant flower may
not be the most suitable. The flow
er short lived, evanescent and quick
ly perishable, will not be chosen; it
must be capable of at least some en-
durance. Besides, the flower chosen
should not be Of a class common on
ly to particular states and localities,
but the country in general. Many
of the distinguished literary women
of this country have named their
choice flower and given their reasons
for such preference. On the first of
January next The committee who
have been appointed for that pur-
pose, will examine the list of sug-
gested flowers, and the reasons
which may appear for the selection.
After that decision is given this
country will have a national repre-
sentative flower, which of course will
have no legal significance more than
custom may attach to it.

vanCing in price. We take the fol-
lowing from the Gazette, nrespect to
the High School of that city, from
which it will be seen, its organiza-

in Kenosha: cat the meeting of the
City Council on last Monday even
ing, the teachers for the coming year
were appointed. The teachers are
the same as last year, except that
there is an additional teacher for the
High School. This gives the prin-
Cipal three instead Of two assistants,
and on the other hand, he is re-
CURED to give one, half of his time to
the supervision of the schools of this
city. 1t is the intention to revise the
school course, SO that it will fit for
college all scholars who may take a
full course. With this arrangement,
there will be no need or excuse for
scholars to leave our High School in
order to fit themselves for college,"

Religious Teaching in the Public
Schools.

This subject has been much dis
cussed in past years, and still con-
tinues to be, particularly in cities.
1t is gratifying to notice where diff
ferences of opinion are expressed, it
is done courteously. 1t is we'll to
understand in what does religious
instruction chiefly consist, which is
claimed for the schools. If it be
conceded the fundamental principles
are belief in Supreme Being, the
maker of all things and the ruler of
the world of mankind; the ten COM
mandments, on which rest the laws
for the government of the people in
all civilized countries, then the limi-
tations of religious teaching need
not be misunderstood. The ten
commandments, called the decalogue
are virtually accepted by the people
Of every christian state and nation,
for they have been enacted into laws.

Temperance.-Do Something VS..
Do Nothing.

In view of the differences of opin-
ion among the friends of temper
ance in respect to the best methods
for restraining the liquor traffic, a
number of active temperance work
ers, some of whom have heretofore
favored different plans, are making
an effort to unite those of adverse
views on one common course of &C
ton. AS soon as their plans have
been fully matured, they will be
made known to the public through
the press. The Walworth County
independent snuffs mischief; it dis
covers one man in the movement not
trustworthy, and declares "the ma
jority of the members of the old
party are disposed to ridicule the
movement" The Whitewater Reg
lister takes a more sensible view. Be-
fore condemning the plan without
hearing, it will wait to know what it
proposes. The Register says: "The
necessity Of finding something more
adequate is SO manifest to all who
give the subject careful, unbiased
thought, that it is not strange that a
new movement is already under way
looking towards practical method
of securing temperance legislation.
This is a movement that has the ap-
pearance of business in it and is like
ly to be far more influential than the
third party ever was or ever could be-
This view of the situation, taken by
the Register, will doubtless meet the
approval of a majority of the friends
of temperance. Many newspapers
in this state that have always been
favorably inclined to temperance
have not much to say except to de-
clare prohibition dead. That is as
consoling news to the saloon. keepers
as to temperance people, who are
opposed to prohibition. The Anti
Prohibition convention which met at
Oshkosh June IS and 70, at which it
was stated 200 delegates were pres
ent, declared its purpose to defeat
every candidate for the Legislature
known to be in favor of restricting
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. The
temperance people have the two
courses before them: The one sug-
gested by the Walworth Idebendeut,
or the one by the Whitewater Reg
zStef.
