in the market for opening and for nail

London, Sept 27.-The nsy regula-
tions for the Queens drawing rooms,
which will be in force next season, are
due to the Queens annoyance at the
scandals discovered this and last year.
1t was found that impecunious ladies
of rank were advertising, for fixed
sums, to bring out young ladies who
are rich but not in society. The terms
included presentation at court and the
run of the London season. The idea of
presentations being sold was severe
shock to her Majesty. The presenta-
tion lists were scanned more carefully
than ever. 1t was not discovered that
there was anything against the per-
sonal character of the ladies thus pre-
sented which would disqualify them
from being received by the sovereign.

MINES AND RAILROADS.

Today Laurel Hill mine, Hazleton
will resume after an idlencss of two
years The coal will be handled by
hosting it in a gunboat to Il dump at
the top of the slope and then transport
ed to the new shaft breaker. The
capacity will be about COO tons daily.
Laurel Hill is among the oldest colieries
in the Lehigh region. and there are
millions of tons of coal there yet to be
mined. Reopening it gave work to l50
men.
Ebervale No. slope has just been
reopened by Markle S Co. The coal
will be hauled overland and prepared at
the Oakdalc breaker. Marke & Co.
expect to mine 500 tons daily. and when
the strippings at the same place are
developed several hundred thousand
tons OF anthracite will be sent to Oak
dale every month.
Dodson &c Co. will reopen the old No.
4 slope in Beaver Brook, which was
abandoned about fifteen years ago. The
old slope will then be robbed of the
remaining coal, which will require years
of work to do.
The Coal Trade Journal says: "Tho
Anthracite Operators Association COM
mttee has decided to ask for a confer
ence with the presidents of the coal
carrying roads iu the hope of securing
concessions.
The rate of wages for the last half OF
September and first half of the month of
October, in the Schuylkill region, will
be per cent below the basis
Kemmerer & Co. are preparing to take
the water out of the old coliery at Pond
Creek. There is quite a lot of coal in
this nine.
The fire in the Twin shaft, Pittston,
has been steadily spreading and it is
now likely that the mine will have to be
flooded.

Wood, the Military Governor of Santi-

for service in the interior of the pro-

Washington authorities concerning his
plan, Gen. Wood will recommend that
Cubans who have voluntarily surren-
dered their arms and acknowledged
American authority in the territory
conquered from the Spaniards be en-
ployed on the force. Only the most en-
ergetic men of this kind, who stand
well with their Cuban officers and have
good moral characters will be selected
as rural police. The men will be re-
quired to undergo physical and mental
examinations, and must be skilled in
handling firearms.
The best Of Cuban officers, many Of
whom have come into Santiago during
the past fortnight without money or
means of subsistence, the result of
three years camp igning in the field

Berlin, Sept. 27.-The German press
regards the situation in Paris as ex-
tremely critical. The National Zeitung
compares it with the situation of the
Spring of 1870 during the reign Of Nap
oleon. Only an immediate revision of
the Dreyfus trial, 1t says, will avert
the imminent disaster.
The Hanoverische Courier fears IN
outbreak of Chauvinism which nigh
evoke another war with Germany
There is also great CONSERVATION in
diplomatic circles over the continued
threatening aspects OF affairs in the
Orient and the unceasing sending OF
Russian and English troops to Crete

menacing conditions, will persist in his
plan of visiting Palestine this Fall.

Calling Public Omcials to Account.

1t is being forcibly impressed of late
upon borough and township officials, as
well as upon turnpike and trolley COM
panes, that they are liable for the main
tanning of nuisances and the bad condi,
tions of highways and may be punished,
as the law provides, for all neglect Of
interests over which they have au-
thority, says the Philadelphia Press
In Il recent charge to the grand Jury
Judge Yorkes, of Bucks county, gave
warning to the Doylestown borough
council that if they did not take action
to secure greater and better supply OF
water, for which the citizens are COM
PEELED to pay, he would present the Of
licaIs to the grand jury.
The authorities OF Reading are now
under bail for maintaining highway
nuisanceS: an Indictment has been found
against the mayor and councilman of
Carbondale on the same charges, and
before Judge Bechtel, OF Schuylkill
county, on Wednesday last. jury
awarded Lewis Draisbach $500 damages
against the borough of Schuylkill Haven
because the counclmen permitted water
to overflow road near the plaintiffs
premises to his inconyience.
The people of the state are getting a
better understanding of the law govern
ing councilmen and other public officials,
and there is calling to account in
various quarters.

Daniel sulIy,s New PLAY.

Daniel Sully has new play and he
firmly believes it will prove the success
OF his career. "Uncle Bob" is domes-
tic drama, in which the characters talk
act and behave as people do in real life
There is q villain, but he appears only
in the last act and then it is when he
comes home to be forgiven. The Grand
Army interest is streng and well brought
out. Two love stories run through the
play, one a simple one, that of Byrncs'
daughter and Goodrich's younger son,
the other that of Byrnes son Tom. a
widower, and an orphan girl, who has
been brought up by the old soldier as
his daughter. The company is a strong
one and the piece calls for several
musical selections, both vocal and in-
strumental. Altogether we are promis-
ed performance of more than ordinary
interest and excellence in "Uncle Bob
which appears at the Grand opera house,
Hazleton, tonight.
The performance will begin at and
the show will be over in time to take
cars to North Side towns.

Arc We Giving Our Coal Away?

Some data of interest to Pennsylva-
mans appears in book recently issued
under the title, The Story OF American
Coal The author claims that for many
centuries yet to come there will be an
abundance of coal. Speaking OF the
anthracite coal mined in Pennsylvania,
the author says that in 1749 that strip
of territory which includes all the
anthracite deposits was purchased by
the proprietary government for $500, or
about So, 500 of our money, and the value
Of the coal it has since produced is pS-
timated as worth "a 900, 900, 600 Stats
tics show that for every 10O,O 900 tons of
coal mined in America one poor miner is
killed by accident.
The author is by no means satisfied
with the remuneration received by
either the miner or the owner of the
coal field. In 1894, he says, in England
the average price of coal at the pits
month-some 1ss, 1000, 900 gross tons
was Sl.50 per ton. For the same grade
of coal in Pennsylvania at the pits
mouth it was "A cents. Then, too, the
Pennsylvania miner worked only 1G5
days in the year, his average being four
tons per diem, worth to him 35 cents a
ton.
Mr. Nichols declares that at this
price for coal the operators are losing
money, and railroads likewise, and the
men are making q little over half time
at the lowest wages ever paid them. Tho
conclusion the author arrives at is that,
when our prices are compared with the
English ones, Eglshmen "are realizing
a handsome profit, while we are simply
giving our coal away"

There Is more catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t a local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced 1t incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires corstitu-

A writer in the October Ladies Home
Journal shows how easy it is to establish
and maintain public libraries even in
the small country towns. Cooperation
OF effort under capable, enthusiastic
direction, it is pointed out, will bring the
sought-for results. The article details
with exact directness the best way to
proceed, even suggesting entertainments
by which money can be raised for tho
library fund. At a small money cost,
the writer makes it clear that every
small town can enjoy the benefits of a
good library.
