Coal Operators Fall to Agree.
Chicago, Jan. 20.--The opening ses-

operators and miners conference to-
day was of but few minutes duration.
The scale committee having asked for
more time, a recess was taken.
Discussion of the state differentials
is waxing warm in the committee
meetings. The Ohio and Pennsylvania
operators conferred. but 1t is said only
got further into the mire. The Penn
! sylvanians are said to have presented
an ultimatum In the form of n demand
that no differentials be allowed to ex-
| list longer between the two states This
proposition was at first bitterly OPP
posed by the Ohioans; but, after n
| long wrangle. they are said to have
expressed a willingness to compromise
on basis of pure difYerential in
place of the existing nine cent differ
entail But even this. II Is said. was
unsatisfactory to II. L. Chapman. OF

who, after some solicitation, accept
ed, but has resigned, to take effect
February 10. He was appointed

new School Board for Cecil county.
Mr.. Blake was appointed in 1896 at
the death of Mr.. Everist to fill out
the uneXpired term of that gentle
man, which will end ON August l..

1896, but he is now holding over
by virtue of decision of the Court
of Appeals, and his successor may
be appointed and qualify at any
time now that the legislature is in
session.-Cecil Democrat.

Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores,
AT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
pllcations that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, 1 began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med

to feel much uneasiness over the situation
of foreign subjects residing at Havana and
other points covered by the blockade. So
long as the blockade is peaceful, the for
eign residents are not likely to suffer.
But in case of a bombardment the foreign
element might be put in jeopardy along
with the native population. unless ample
time were given to foreigners to withdraw.
For that reason earnest inquiries are be-
ing made at the embassies and legations
as to what notice the United States will
give foreign residents at Havana and else
where of the imminence of bombardment.
There is no doubt this government would
give ample time for foreigners to with
draw, and, in case of non-combatants, 1t
is usual to give at least twenty-four hours
notice of bombardment, but there might
be serious difficulty in the way of such no
uce, in case the Spanish forts open fire
on American ships. as it is hardly 10 be
expected that the ships would remain un
der fire for twenty-four hours without re-
turning the fire. Under the existing cir
cunistances. members of the diplomatic
corps are looking for a notification giving
ample time for the Withdrawal of all for
