ODD BITS OF LIFE.

A sparkling bit Of comedy was enacted
on Broadway yesterday afternoon, says
the New York Star. One Of Colonel La
mout's yellow-bodied cars passed by
Thirty-third street, having as Its sole e
cupant q young girl of %. She was a very
pretty brunette, with dark, curly hair, big,
expressive eyes, and long, dropping eye
lashes. In her Ian abe carried o bundle
and In her hand she held q paper-backed
novel, which she was reading intently.
She was the daughter of one of New
York's ~best-known musical directors. A
few feet below Thirty-third street q mid
dle-aged man, holding q freshly lighted
cigar In his hand, swung on TO the front
platform of the car. CHANGING inside
he espied Its pretty young occupant. She
vas smiling at what she was reading and
the flush on her cheeks made her bewitch-
ingly attractive. Instantly the man cast
his cigar away, pushed back the car door,
entered, and sat down opposite the fair
reader. She paid no attention to him and
continued her reading without even look
ing up. The man made several futile at
tempts to attract her notice; finally he
succeeded. The young girl looked up,
recognized her companion as a well
known singer at the Casino, and
involuntarily smiled. The actor i'm
mediately scented victory, but the girl
buried herself again In her book, n try
as he would he could not cause her to
again lift her eyes. At Twenty-third
street she left the car. As she did so she
shot a sly glance at her persistent adj
mirer. He arose and followed her TO the
rear platform, standing there watching
her retreating figure. As h reached the
curb she turned around and looked
directly at the car. This was enough.
The singer jumped of and FASTENED
back. The young girl stood awaiting
him. As he approached and politely
raised his hat she said: '"You evidently
don't know me-, sir, but l do you; you
were one OF the guests at my christen-
ing. II you will kindly carry
this bundle l shall be glad to have your
company home. I know mamma will be
delighted to see you. My name Is s."
The actor turned red, white and blue;
then, bracing himself, he said: swell,
you were the prettiest baby ! ever saw,
and years have improved you. Now,
please let me apologize, N when you
tell this incident at home, please leave
my name out. You may tell your mother,
however, that you have learned that that
the proverb, There is no fool like an
old fool" Is pretty nearly true. Good-by."
And the actor raised his hat and went of
TO hunt q fresh cigar.

A vax-Dodger's Ingenuity.

The ingenuity and pertinacity Of the
.tax-dodgers' have become p~roverbial,
says the Youths Companion, and because
such men are both dishonest and unpa-
triotic the world always enjoys n laugh at
their expense. A French newspaper cites
a case in point, the would-be ''dodger"
being a certain well-known journalist and
author, a shrewd man, IL Is plain, but i'm
the present instance q little too shrewd.
In France as II appears, dogs which are
classified as useful are taxed at the rate
OF 4 francs q year., but "dogs of luxury"
or those kept merely for the personal sat
isfaction of their owners, are c~hargeable
at the rate Of 16 francs.
The author in question had a shepherd
dog which he kept only as a companion,
n consequently as q dog of luxury"
but he reported the dog as q "useful dog"
because, as every one knows, shepherd
dogs are useful.
= He was cited to appear before a justice
Of the peace on a certain day to show
cause why his dog should not pay q tax of
10 francs.
In the meantime the author went to his
butcher.
"Have O such a thing as a Sheep" he
asked.
"Yes.n
''Can YOU send me n at such a place
VI thC ~ VI
'Certainly."
"How much is it:?n
'Sixty-two francs"
'And You will buy the creature back
from me for how much"
"Fifty-two francs"
Here was 10 francs loss on the sheep,
but ~ francs gain on the dog. Two
francs were worth saving, and the bar
gain was struck.
On the day named the writer appeared
before the magistrate and declared that
he had a flock, and the dog was his shep-
herd.
"But where is your flock ?" asked the
justice of the peace.
Here" your honor, answered the
writer, as lie beckoned TO the butcher,
who stood near by. at is a very small
flock. but il is nevertheless a flock in the
eye of the law"
Thereupon the butcher came forward
and deposited upon n bench n carcass of
a sheep, skinned n dressed. The
author had forgotten to tell him that the
sheep must be alive!
The owner OF the dog was taxed the 10
francs and was condemned to pay a fine
of 32 francs for attempting to evade the
law, and, ms the butcher would pay him
only 10 francs for the carcass OF q sheep
which ''had been hauled before the
COURT his attempts to save 2 francs re-
suited In n net loss OF thirty times that
amount.

One of the most successful balls ever
witnessed in Freeland or vicinity was
that held under the auspices of the St.
Patrick's Cornet Band, at Yannes' opera
house, on Monday evening. Their repu-
tation, as we stated in our last issue. was
unprecedented in this region for the
manner in which they conduct such af-
fairs was fully maintained, and in some
instances strengthened.
After the band had marched up Centre
street steady stream of people were
seen vending their way to the hall, and
in short while it was evident to all that
standing room only would be available.
On arriving at the hall Quigley's or
chestra of six pieces struck up the dane
ing music, and merry throng were soon
seen to take advantage of it.
To add further to the enjoyment Of the
occasion, and to show the appreciation in
which the band is held, the st. Gabriel's s
Cornet Band, of Hazleton, arrived about
8 o'clock and discoursed some excellent
music. The grand march was led by
Master of Ceremonies, p. ]. Duffy, Of
Upper Lehigh, and Miss Mary A. Nc
Cafferty, of Freeland, and was partici-
pated in by Ill couple, after which dane
ing was kept up until 5 a. M, when all
retired to their homes evidently well
pleased with the nights entertainment.
The beautiful souvenir programmes
given out were greatly admired.
The receipts of the ball will net a
handsome sum to the bands treasury,
for which they are thankful to the public.

Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite coal trade is reported
more active at New York and in the East
than it has been for some time past and
the market exhibits an improving tone,
partly due to the better condition of the
iron trade. Locally there is little i'm
provement noted, and, while the Reading
Railroads s shipments of coal from the
mines at Port Richmond have been
smaller than usual for several weeks
past, it has largely increased its ship
ments to Port Liberty. The anthracite
coal committe of the trunk lines, acting
in conjunction with the sales agents of
the coal companies, met at New York on
the 1st instant, but did not agree to
change in the rates of tolls for this
springs business, and adjourned to meet
again to-day for further .considera-
tion of the subject. There is con-
siderable indisposition on the part of the
carrying companies to concede any re-
duction in tolls, notwithstanding the
clamor of the individual operators for
lower rates. The managers of the an
thracite roads argue that the present
rate of tolls is the same as was in effect
last spring, and that should any lower
rate be now made the individual ope-
rators would simply give it to the buyer
of coal by further cutting the prices, and
that that could neither increase the con-
sumption of coal nor induce dealers or
large consumers to buy any more stock
than their immediate necessities require.
On the other hand, the individual ope-
rators complain that the larger produc-
ing corporations are selling their output
so low that the individuals cannot mar
ket their coal excepting at a loss after
paying the tolls on the coal from the
mines to tidewater, and unless some con-
cession is granted they will be compelled
to shut down their mines and suspend
the operation of their collieries indefi-
nitely. In answer to this the mining and
transporting companies say that in sell
ing their coal at the present low prices
they are only meeting the competition of
the individual operators to protect their
own regular trade. The seven or eight
corporations which control the anthra-
cite trade continue to work in close har
mony, and it has only been the strict ad-
herence to this policy during the past
four months that has prevented great de-
moralization of that important industry.
Whether or not they will continue to fol-
low the same conservative course during
the next three months will determine

Trouble With Tenants.

Within the past week the Union Improvement
Company, owning nearly all the houses oc-
cupied by miners i'm the village of Ebervale,
and which it is alleged is nothing more than the
Stout Coal Company under another name, has
had some trouble with its employees or tenants
tion. Nine of the leases under which the ten
ants of the company hold were filed in the
Prothonotary's office at Wilkes Barre on Satur-
der, and by a clause give the company the
power ut any moment to issue writs OF election
and throw them out on three days notice. In
consequence of the filing of the leases in the
Prothonotary's office nine writs of ejectment
were issued and placed in the hands OF the
In a few days. In an interview on Monday
Sheriff Robinson said he had decided not to
come down to Ebervale and throw these people
notice to make arrangements and get out as
quickly as possible.

whether or not this years operations will
prove profitable or otherwise. A very
large part of the coal tonnage of the Le-
high Valley Railroad and about one-half
of that of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey originates at the mines of indi-
vidual operators, who will make deter
mined effort to obtain lower tolls. Whe-
ther or not they will be successful de-
pends upon the ability of the other COM
panies to force those two roads to keep
in line with themselves.

sent to market for the week ending

the disputed lands of the Cross Creek Coal
Company and that of the G. b. Markle & Co's
estate at Highland, on account of the gangway
of No.2 slope, Drifton, being driven over the
line, has been amicably adjusted, by each
party ceding to the other a certain portion
of land which can be worked to advantage by
each. Work in the Highland gangway has
been commenced, which is expected to tap
what is known as the saw mill basin," where
a large tract of coal lies, and Coke Bros. & Co.
will work the coal in the gangway already
