Want the Road Law Repealed.

a meeting of supervisors, tax collcc-
tors, trcasurers and school directors of
the various townships in the county has
been called for May |, to take measures
for securing the repeal of the road law,
by which corporations are empowered
to keep the township roads in repair.
Previous to giving the care Of roads to
corporations, it was claimed that super
visors actually received pay for more
days than there were in the year. 1t
was also asserted that the tax money
was wasted and that great partiality
was shown in the repairing Of the high
ways.
To remedy this the coal companies
agreed to keep the roads in good condi-
tion and relieve the townships of all
road tax. claiming that the amount they
annually paid for taxes was more than
enough, if properly expended, to do this
work, 1t appears, however, that there
is complaint that the roads are in
worse shape than ever, hence the move
ment to take the control of them away
from the corporations.

Going back and forward to their work

between the shaft and No. . breaker
one of the men on the trucks discovered
that rock was wedged between the

the track. The second truck telescoped
the front one and several of the men
were pinned against the crib work
while others were thrown in the ditch
and underneath the wreck.

A Good Amnteur Company.

crowded house was present at the
rendition of "A Noble Outcast" at the
Grand on Saturday evening. 1t was
produced by one Of the best amateur
companies that has yet been organized
in town, and the dramatic work was of
high standard. The nature of the
play kept the audience interested from
the beginning to the end. Sias Wood
ring as Jerry the tramp and Miss
Mary Dongherty as France" won mach
applause for the brilliant manner in
which both played their difficult parts.
James Bell portrayed an elderly gentle
man quite well, Miss Name Boyle as a
pert servant girl was good and Miss Ida
Shafer played the part of Mrs. Lee
in acceptable style. Robert Karchner
was a typical stage william and John j.
Johnson thwarted his designs with rare
skill
The specialties were also well receiv-
ed Richard w. Welshs singing and
w. j. Boyle's dancing were encored re-
peatedly, while the quartette singing of
Messrs. Bell and johnson and Misses
Doughorty and Boyle was rendered in
professional style. The piano work of
James S. Mcdonald was also appre-
ciated.
1t is likely that the play will be pro
duced again in the near future.

The Prince of wnIes' Dinner Table

The Prince of Wales Dinner Table
Good taste reigns over all the ar
rangements. Thus the tablecloths are
severely plain, though of the finest
quality, and simply worked with the
royal arms-the rose, the thistle and
the shamrock-whilet the table napkins
are invariably folded into small
square to hold the bread. and never
in the fancy shapes in vogue elsewhere.
To each guest two forks and no more,
are provided and these are placed
prongs downward. In addition there are
one large tablespoon and one large
knife, for in no circumstances are two
knives together given to any guest A
great many reasons have been assign
ed for this rule, but apparently no one
has summoned mp the courage to ask
the royal host and hostess. 1t has been
asserted that his royal highness has
the old-fashioned dislike to seeing
knives inadvertently crossed. Small
water bottles are used, but the princess
holds to the Hanoverian habit of never
having finger bowls. At Marlborouph
House dinner begins at S:i5 and is
never allowed to last much more than
an hour. Occasionally during dinner
soft music is played. The menu is al
ways served a la Russo that is to saw
nothing is carved III the dining room.

Anthracite Coal Trade

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The war scare and the cold weather
have combined to make the anthracite
coal trade active and strong once more.
New England dealers are now all anx-
ious for coal, although usual frcights
have advanced 10 cents ton in the last
ten days. In spite Of this increased cost
dealers in the East are calling for coal
and are willing to give all the orders the
companies will take. Most of the COM
panies. however, refuse To take more
orders than they can fill with the vessel
supply available. The orders are for
mixed cargoeS of full size. and the full
circular prices are paid without question.
The local trade has been stimulated j
by the cold and rainy weather. which
found dealers aud consumers alike out
of supplies. The demand has been good
for all sizes, particularly for pea, which
is scarce and prices have been fairly
well maintained. The production is
going on at the nominal rate of 1000. 600
tons month, but this quantity is likely
to be exceeded.
