A number of coal men from Virginia
and West Virginia were in Washington
to-day urging members and Senators to
work for the retention of the duty on
coal. Among those here were l.. Il.
Tierney, chairman of the Democratic
Committee of Mcdowell county,
West Virginia, Mr.. Wolf,also OF Me-
Dowell county, and NJ. Erskine Miller
of Staunton, who is interested in
colleries in West Virginia. AS there is
no prospect that the Ways and Means
Committee will make any further
changes in the Wilson bill before 1t
comes into the House the men who are
trying to get the duty On coal restored
are directing all their efforts to secur-
ing the co operation Of enough Demo-
Gratis
IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE
to insure the desired change in the
tariff bill before it passed. The coal
men who we're here to-day will not be
satisfied with the insertion OF an amend
ment in the bill providing that our duty
ON coal shall not be removed
until the Canadian duty has been re-
moved. Nothing but the retention OF
the duty on coal will satisfy them.
They claim to be confident that the VIII
son bill will be amended to suit them
before it becomes law. Governor Nc
Corkle was in Washington to-day on
business, the nature of which he did
not care to state. He assured the
REGISTER correspondent, however, that
il does not relate to coal. The Cover
nor will remain here until tomorrow
night.

PITTsBURG, December ia prize
fight at Turner Hall, Allegheny, to-
night, between James Levack and
"ReddY" Mason, local pugllstS, was in
terrupted by the police and the princi-
pals arrested The men were matched
TO fight four rounds, and the interest in
the contest was so great that the hall
was crowded.
A bitter feeling existed between the
men, both fought furiously. Soon all
rules were ignored and it became a
rough and tumble fight. They fought
all over the stage, wrecking the
scenery and clawing each other
like animals. The police then
interfered, but it was some
time before they could part the men
and it was finally necessary to handcuff
them. They were taken to the lookup
aud later released on bail. Both men
were terribly punished. Their arrest
created great excitement, and for a
time it looked as IL there would be q
riot In the hall.

THE POOL ROOMS.

It may yet be found that there Is salt
and sand enough in New Jersey to save
her. The hearty outburst of public senti-
ment concerning the shameful action of
the legislature in surrendering to the
gamblers has had some effect, and there
are indications that some of the legislators
will not dare to face 1t. There is much
talk of bribery, and there is also talk that
If there has been such bribery as is sus-
pected many of those who have been
bribed will not stay bribed. If they
shouldn't happen to it wouldn't be sur
prising.
If the people of New Jersey can shame
their legislature into right action on this
matter 1t will have much influence in other
States where the pool rooms are being
fought. But whether they can or not the
people of Connecticut and the legislators
of Connecticut should take care that this
State is not disgraoed as New Jersey has
been. We hear queer talk about the use
of money at Hartford to defeat the efforts
of these who are trying to wipe
ont the pestiferous pool rooms. We
can hardly believe the talk. We know
that money will do some things, but we
hesitate to think that In the present state
of public feeling concerning this matter
any body would be willing to be hired to
work for the pool rooms. Anybody who
would couldn't earn his money with
out bringing upon himself the scorn and
contempt of all good citizens. Nobody has
yet appeared as q defender of the pool
rooms. If anybody does he will show
| more courage than sagacity. he will make
q reputation for himself, but not of the
kind that he and his friends will take

A peculiar suit has been instituted In
the probate court of Cincinnati to deter.
mine who are 'tprotestants" under the will
OF Ethan Stone, who died forty years ago.
The will devised certain property In trust,

that ct the end of each decade all the
protestants In the township should decide

One of the most recent plans for treat
ing sewage In Q manner to conserve the
public health is that described by DR..
Burghart before one of the English engin-
eering societies. This is an electrical pro-
cess, the active agent, iron, being derived
from iron plates placed in cells, through
which the sewage constantly flows; onsset
of cells is positive and the other negative.
Oaly the positive plate is acted upon and
dissolved upon Its surface, hydrated fer.
rous oxide being produced by the action of
the nascent oxygen-liberated by the de.
composition of water at this pole-acting
upon the metallic iron. This hydratsd
ferrous oxide, which is q solution, then
acts upon the organic matter, becoming,
first, hydrated ferric acid by absorption
of oxygen from the air, giving up this oIy-
gen again to the organic matter and be-
coming the lower oxide-ths operation
being repeated for . considerable time un-
til the csrbonaceous matters which are
oxidizsble have been oxidizsd, when no

take place, and II remains insoluble and

to wear off or dissolve equally the poles
are reversed on alternate days. plate be-

THE HAILR0ADs.

l Ahn kAA
The vote of the stockholders of the Old
Colony railroad yesterday showed the ex.
pected unanimity, and the joining of the
roads Is now completed. No Connecticut
River business in this, and 1t is possible
that the present owners of the Connecticut
River road wish there hadn't been any In
their trade. Since that curious perform
ance there has been a startling change In
the railroad situation in New England. It
has been discovered that bankrupt road
cannot make itself solvent by increasing
its liabilities, and 1t has also been discov-
cred that where the money is the power is.
Awhile ago it looked as If the Reading
crowd might make 1t warm for the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road company. 1t now looks as If
that crowd would have all they
can do to keep themselves warm. They
have had some very cold days, and q
the temperature moderases they will
be lucky. While they have been
going into bankruptcy the New York, New
Haven and Hartford company has been
getting itself into an impregnable position
so far as the long desired entrance into
Boston Is concerned It has not been
doing It in the Reading way. 1t is able to
pay for what 1t buys, and will not have to
give 1t back.
What Is to be the fate of the unfortunate
New York and New England is q deeply
interesting question. Ite stock was strong
or yesterday, and there was no talk of q
receiver. But perhaps 1t is already in
hands that have been waiting to receive 1t
for some time and that found their op-
portunity In the recent crash.

net was soft nld-fashioned sort of gilk.
The sleeves were puffed very big and fn-
ished off with q band of black feather
trimming. Two rows of this marabout
outlined the round cut neck. A pert little
plume stood up on each shoulder. The
ruffle AZ the foot of the skirt was headed
by msrsbout, with q plume every now and
then to lend distinction. The short
round waist was made by a bodice belt of
narrow black velvet passed three times
about the figure, the top band being a.
high on one side as under the arm. On
the other side sll three bands were brought
together by a rosette of velvet. OF course
the girl was brunette, and little black
perky tip nodded In her dusky hair. /
should add that the spots of black in the
net were velvet, 80 the crispness of the
gown suggested newness, and no possibill-
ty of anything like wssh-tub renovation.
Now that purple is adopted we are be-
coming aware of different tones in the
color. Phe purple in which the blue
dominstfs Is apt to be hard and trying.
The color resulting from an even blend
ing of the red and blue is, indeed, a
royal purple, and that where the red
dominates Is warm and beautiful. It
blends with many colors well and suits
many compilations. This tone of purple
is destined to be the most liked shade of
the already popular color. Its distinctive
name is "Dahlis." FLoRETTE.

It has been decided that the painful
rumor that the New Haven Board of Edu-
cation hasn't any mind il not founded on
fact, but It has not been shown that Its
mind can be ''made up" The site for the
new High School is somewhere in New
Haven, but nobody knows where. Days
have run into weeks and weeks into
months, and there Is no evidence that the
Boards mind is In any less scattered con-
ditioa than 1t has been. And the melsn-
choly thought that perhaps II never will be
obtrudes itself.
But something should be done, and We
believe that we have had the good luck to
hit upon the right thing. 1t has lately
been seen that there are some bright boys
in the High School. Bright enough to out
wit the Board of Education and able to
make up their minds promptly and firmly.
We move that the Board, In generous
recognition of the ability, the decision and
the 'soenness" of these youngsters, call
them into the Board room and ask them to
decide on the High School site. 1t wouldn't
take them long to decide, and their
decision would very likely be as wise as
the one We shall get from the Board, If We
get any. Give the boys a chance.
