People using the Home Comfort steel
range speak as follows:
White Haven, August 10, 1894.
To whom it may concern. This is to
certify that we have a Home Comfort
steel range in our home and find it in
every way, so far, as represented by the
salesman, IL. c. Robinson. Our water
tank boils quickly, it bakes nicely, takes
up small amount of room in the house,
is certainly cleaner and neater than cast
iron stoves, no ashes flying, the closets
are very nice and handy to warm vic
tuas in and for what time have used
it, would not take two others for it..

the author, who, since her marriage to
Mr.. Cyomwright, Is Mrs Olive Schrei-
ner, and whose husband has obligingly
become Mr.. Cromwright Schreiner, ae-
cording tohisvisiting cards, has aroused
no end of newspaper comment One
journal finds that it foreshadows the
complications the race Is likely to en-
counter early in the twentieth century:
'The brightest reputation, the great
est fortune, the strongest nature, will
prevail, and many man will be lost
to fame and friends behind his wifc's
name. Curious conflicts will arise.
There will be pre-nuptinl speculations
among friends of an evenly matched

unites John Smith and Mary Jones will,
produce a couple of Smiths or Jeneses.

An Honored Presence.

The American woman, as she polSes
and elbows her weary way about among
these courteous signori, remembers
many things. She remembers how, let
her enter the busy post offices of great
eastern cities or rushing western
towns, she is cedcd a place and pushed
TO the front OF n line of driving bust
ness men, none too busy or driven to
wait for n woman; how her letters are
taken from her hands to be mailed, her
fare to be passed to the conductor, her
packages that she may climb into car
or cross n muddy street, how seats in
elevators md trans spring up for her;
how, at her approach, in elevators, on
the stairways of hotels, everywhere,
hats are quickly removed in silent
homage of recognition that she Is n
woman, not as In Europe some woman,
but simply woman. Finally she re-
members, says the New York Ledger,
that this is not true of any part or por-
tion of her country alone-that She
may travel over wide America, north
and south and east and west, and the
shrewd commercial Yankee, the rush
ing New York business man, the Ian
guild southerner, the bluff and breezy
westerner, will all burn for her these
little grains of incense" before the
altar of her womanhood. They may
be little but they stand for great fact,
They mean that everywhere in her own
land she Is an honored presence.

Anthracite Tonnage SquabbIe.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The failure of the committee who have
been at work endeavoring to perfect a
new tonnage percentage agreement
among the anthracite coal companies
has created a decided sensation in the
trade. The prices are away down, and
the production is away up and the de-
mand is slack. Since the tonnage was
allotted among the producing companies
in 1886 the following interests have
grown up; Susquehanna and Western,
which sent about $50 per cent of the
total production to market last year;
Ontario and Western, 2.61 per cent
Coke Bros. q Co., 4.59 per cent, and
Wilkes Barre and Eastern, 10 per cent.
The natural increase in the old lines
is figured at 4 per cent per year, but the
entirely new interests now produce II
per cent Of the total amount sent to mar
ket. None of the great companies is
willing to reduce its old percentage, but
the new interests are there and will con-
tinue to produce coal.

why men are preferred to them. AL.
though it is strictly matter of business
those who have been dismissed are rails

howl is likely to increase in volume as

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Washington, September 81, 1894.
A quorum of the cabinet has been in
Washington this week, but not all at one
time. Secretary Smith was only in town
three days and Secretary Lamont has
just arrived. Secretaries Gresham and
Herbert have been at their desks all the
week and Secretary Carlisle has not been
able to get even a three-day vacation
since congress adjourned. There is con-
siderable gossip here over the probability
of Secretary Lamont being nominated
for governor of New York by the Dem
ocrats, although he isn't saying word
himself. There is no doubt that Secre-
tary Lamont would make a strong candi-
date-perhaps stronger than any man
who has been mentioned in connection
with the nomination, except ex-Secre-
tary Whitney, and the impression is that
he will not accept-because like Whit
ney, he would be acceptable to the two
factions into which the party in New
York is unfortunately divided, he having
managed to keep the good will of them
all.
