M. Goodwin Rhyme. . Tale of Woe.


Pathos! Why there is a pathos in al
most every scene in life il you want TO
look at II in that way. l,s comedians
ever really become pathetic? Every
man has his moments when both sky
and earth are blue-a dark heavy indi-
go, as it were. Sitting in cafe while
playing at the Fifth Avenue theater re-
Gently, was approached by woman
who asked aims She was not one of
those genteel beggars you occasionally
meet, but plainspoken professional.
At our table was "Billy" Crane, Joseph
jefferson and several other friends.
Now" said Crane, "tell us the story
of your life from the time you were a
child and we will pass the hat around"
She did so and we all forgot that she
was beggar-a professional beggar-
for she made us actually feel squirmish
like. She told it in tough dialect
which have tried to reproduce:
In lower ward in de city,
In n alley full OF dirt,
My fader and mudder was livtn'
When was brought TO earth.
Me mudder croaked when was born,
Ny fader few de coup
A-crying on de stoop
grew up in de gutter,
Where all was slime and sin.
And dc only ting learned dead quick,
Was not be taken In
For always swiped when couldn't beg,
De same as de oder girls did,
But never knowed was doin' wrong.
No more dan little kid
At fifteen I wus a grown.up gal;
Fifteen dat's putin IL mild.
You're a woman at twelve in the gutter,
Wild de rich you're only child
Jim he said was q beauty;
Dat was in de race,
And he'd take me up TO Miners
II I'd only wash me face
He took me out one evening,
And he treated me dead nice:
He said he d like 10 blow me on,
But he didn't have the price.
/ didn't want TO drink just then,
I never had drunk wild Jim;
But / laid awake the whole night long
Thinkin Of nothin' but him.
He told me next day dat he loved me,
And something in me heart
dat didn't know had before),
Begin To strain and start
/ couldn't get onto dc snap at all,
I couldn't drop 10 de reason why.
Dat cause Jim told me be loved me-
I had 70 stand dare and cry.
I only knowed was happy,
Dat dc sky was bluer dat day,
Dat de sun was ,brighter, dat de wind was
warmer,
And things was coming my way
made more money dat Thursday
Dan ever done in my life,
And made It for Jim, and Jim was de man
What ought TO have made me his wife
Jim knowed he was dom wrong,
But he wanted 20 be free,
only knowcd that loved him,
And dat was enough for me.
For a year worked dead hard for Jim.
And he let me do IL too,
TIL he got tired and come in one night
And told me lie was trough
His wife had come I'm for some dust
lie took the flrst train for home,
And never knowcd he was married
Till de night was left alone,
Alone Wild me little baby
What died fore dc mornin came.
Leaving his mudder what loved him
A woman only In name
I sat and waited for Jim
Wild murder IN me heart,
But he never come Oack-he never Will
Deres \ mething dat keeps us apart
Maybe it's de Lord above
What wants me when die
To see me little kid once moro
And hear his little cry

Canadian coal is question of i'm
portance to New England manufactur-
ers along the seaboard, according TO
the theory of free traders, but its i'm
portance loses some Of its asserted force
when it is remembered that the manu-
facturers have made no demand for free
coal, and bill abolishing the duty on
bituminous coal has been before the
House without action since early last
session. If the Democrats had be-
lieved what they claimed as to its revo-
lutionizing effects some vigor on their
part would have been in order during
the present inactive session.
The tariff on coal bears on the theory
of protection or free trade less perhaps
than that of any other American pro-
duct. Coal mining as an industry is so
completely controlled by few as to be
for all practical purposes monopoly.
Almost no competition enters into its
production, and the essential result of
protection-that by it protected mar
ket arouses sharp competition and a
reduction in price to the lowest possible
profitable point-fails to become oper-
ative. Its producers depend not on
their individual merits but combine
and fix price at which they will sell.
and that price is determined only by
the dictates of supply and demand. No
one mines coal to compete with
his neighbor, but simply to fill
the quota of the total product
allotted to his mines by the
combined producers. The tariff on
coal therefore is a question of almost
no value as bearing on or affecting the
price of coal itself It's value lies who'll
ly in the fact that it is an integral part
of somewhat complex but nevertheless
symmetrical system of protection, and
the fact that its repeal would offer the
opponents of the system the argument
of discrimination in the system is an
argument which they have long wanted.
It's value, therefore, being so wholly
theoretical, it is of the greatest import
ance TO ascertain whether equally good
coal can be imported more cheaply than
it is produced and sold in our own coun.
try. The coal now used by the New
England coast comes from the Cumber-
land mines. In comparison with il
Nova Scotia coal il less valuable by
from so TO 10 cents ton, because Cana
dian coal contains large amounts of
sulphur, which renders it much more
liable to spontaneous combustion and
thus dangerous to mill properties.
The second point is that of cost. An
exhaustive report on this point by Will
liam Whitman shows the following
costs for Cumberland coal shipped from
Baltimore and Nova Scotia coal shippe d
from Pictou:
