VAGARIES OF COAL PRICES.
HOW DEALERS SEEK TO REAssURE THE
CONSUMERS
IF THERE BE A FURTHER ADVANCE. THE CHEER

Some OF the leading coal dealers Of Brooklyn
take n peculiar view Of the anthracite agree
ment which has already effected an Increase In
the price OF coal. Most of them claim that the
consumers will not protest when Informed that
they have been getting coal for two years at
rate which was much lower than the actual cost
Of mining II. That the coal barOns have lost
money and anxious to regain II through
sort II semi-contrIbuton scheme is something
which will be taken with grain OF salt by those
least gube. These wholesale dealers argue
that the price Of coal will not exceed "a 10 a ton,
the amount now charged. In fact. one OF them,
Mr. Kelsey of Kelsey & Loughlin at Douglas
ST. and Gowanus Canal said yesterday that he
would bet any sum that the price would remain
stationary for the remainder Of the winter. MT
Kelsey further said ne did not believe that the
adjustment OF percentages would In any way
affect Brooklyn. although he did business
through the same channel as the New-York coal
merchants While Mr.. Kelsey was talking.
meeting Of the sales agents Of the anthracite
coal companies was in progress at the office Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad in New-York. and an
Increase Of so cents ton to the wholesale trade
had already been decided upon.
H. ID. Heissenbuttel secretary Of the Moqun,
Offerman, Heissenbuttel Coal Company, was
probably the first and only Brooklyn coal dealer
who heard Of the sudden rise on Friday. When
seen by a Tribune reporter, that gentleman said
ne did not believe still further advance In
prices would be made. He had been visited by
several miners earlier In the day. They had a
talk with him on the arrangement OF their winter
schedule, which will continue until next April.
when the summer prices will go into effect. Mr..
Ueissenbutte does not think there Will be a
howl from the consumers. AT any rate he says.
they will be treated justly by the local dealers.
who say they will add TO the present scale Of
prices only the sum which they themselves are
forced TO pay.
People who last summer took advantage Of the
drop in coal are congratulating themselves now.
A representative OF another well-known firm
said that he knew OF scores OF people In moderate
circumstances who had bought enough coal last
summer to keep their homes warm for at east
twelve months. Those who buy n single ton will
feel the increase. Then there are thousands Of
people who buy coal by the bushel from grocers.
When 10 and Is cents more Is charged for one
of these receptacles. the poorer consumers will
realize that they are paying almost SO per ton.

Extraordinary Order of a Western Man
at Delmonico's Cafe.

Order OF "a western Man
at Delmonico's Cafe.
From the Troy Times.
A story told by Burr Macintosh is
not half bad: In the days before he
was an actor man he was in the far
West with a lot of swell New Workers,
who were Inspecting a mine. The rich
est of the locality gave them what
they believed to be a grand blowout
the best the place could provide-and
one of the INTERNATIONALLY remarkable to
one of the metropolitan visitors:
Reckon you couldn't beat this in the
East?" Scornfully replied the New
Yorker: "Of course, you've done the
best you could. but the cost of this feed
wouldn't be enough to give a Delmon-
leo waiter a tip" 1t was a cruel re-
mark, and it sunk deep into the soul
of that little western society. Later
business summoned the man to whom
the words had been spoken and one of
his companions to THE vortex of eastern
civilization, and they determined to go
to Delmonico's and paralyze that hos
telry with their wealth. To them mon
ey meant nothing. They seated them
selves in the famous place, prepared
to paralyze the rich New Workers. A
waiter approached and handed them
the bill of fare. One of them picked 1t
up with a careless air, as though he
had been frequenting Delmonico's
every day of his life, and. casting his
eyes casually over it, suddenly started
and exclaimed:
Great heavens. Bill, she's all in
Frenchl"
Don't lose your nerve" said Bill.
coolly. do the best you can. Para
lyze them"
He did. Summoning the waiter with
a lordly air. he said:
See here, mister bring me $40
worth of ham and eggs
The verdict at the coroner's jury up
on the waiter is not recorded. The
cause of his death was never ascer-
tanned. He simply fell dead.

Man does a lot of foolish things. and
when you come to look them all over.
the continued use of tobacco is, without
doubt, the most unaccountable of them
all.
Tobacco kills more people than all
the contagious diseases put together.
We don't know Ii. or don't want to
admit II, but 1t is so. Not one man in
10 would get sick so easily and die from
catarrh. consumption, pneumonia.
heart disease, ETC.. If his otherwise
strong constitution was not undermined
by tobacco poison.
It's so easy to get started, and so i'm
possible to stop tobacco use, unless Mo-
To-Bac comes to the rescue. Millions
are now seeking relief and they are
coming from all parts of the world.
