Dealers Say It VIII Cost No More In
This City Just Yet.

The news that the. price of coal has
been raised % cents on a ton in New York
City need cause no apprehension in this
city at present. The coal dealers In Jer-
sey City say that the price will not be
raised. at least for the present. A promi-
nent coal dealer said this afternoon
'sWe have had no notice of any increase
in the price of coal. 1t it was proposed
to raise the price we would receive notice,
as the Lehigh Coal Company is bound to
give all dealers notice five days before
increasing the price. Such a notice usually
comes on the first of the month If any
change in price is contemplated.

GOODNESS IN THE PULPIT.
Probably Saved Congregation from
Panic and Disaster.

Panic and Disaster.
Already vastly popular with his con-
gregation, Rev. Arthur Wildwood OF
Brooklyn, raised himself still higher
in general estimation on a recent
Sunday, when his GOODNESS in the pres
ence of danger probably averted a
wild stampede from the Church Of the
Incarnation. Although there were in
dications of impending disaster, the
people, acting upon his advice, filed
out of the church in an orderly man
ner to find fire engine pouring water
into the cellar through front win
dow. Shortly after IL o'clock smoke
began to pour up through the regis
tiers. The assistant pastor, Rev. Ar
thur Wildwood, went down to the eel
lar to see if the furnace was smoking.
He was alarmed to find the cellar full
of smoke, so dense that he could not
go inside. He ran out and turned in
an alarm. Then he walked rapidly up
the aisle, and after whispering to the
officiating clergyman, said aloud: "The
furnace seems to. be smoking worse
than usual. l think the congregation
had better retire to allow us to open
the windows" The people, assured by
his calmness, retired in good order, but
became somewhat alarmed when they
saw the engines and firemen in the
street.

Mr.. Justice Maule once went on cir
cult with Judge Coleridge in a part Of
the country where the high sheriff was
a shy and modest man and very much
alarmed at having to entertain his
cynical lordship. Coming home in his
coach with the two judges, he thought
it his duty to make conversation for
them. He observed that he hoped
there would be better weather, as the
moon had changed. "And are you
such fool, Mr.. Jones, as to imagine
that the moon has any effect on the
weather." said Maule. Really, Broth
er Maule," said Coleridge, who was
politeness itself, you are very hard
upon our friend. For my part,
think the moon has considerable eff
feet upon it." Then" said Maule.

FEW SHUT DOORS.
Why the People In Canada Leave
Them Open.

Canadians are known in Britain az
the people who never shut doors, says
the Montreal Witness. Where rooms
are heated, as they are there, by CRATE
fires, the opening of door sets up an
immediate draught, and If the person
who opens it does not close it again ne
quickly realizes his mistake, II not IN
his own sensations, then in the re-
proachful glances of others. The nrst
lesson in manners taught to children
is to shut the door, and that quietly.
The door handle, the child is taught,
is not only for the purpose or open
ing a door, but of shutting it. Inc
reason why Canadians do not learn 10
shut doors is that their doors, for the
most part, stand open. The houses
are heated with a general heat, ana
before the days of furnaces, unless the
doors of the room stood open, the
rooms would, for the most part, get
cold. Thus has grown the habit OF
leaving doors open. When Canadian
comes to shut door, he is prone to
think that something very private IS
going on within which he must not
disturb and his first impulse is to re-
tire from it. Where we in CANADA
have door which we want kept shut
we put a spring on it, and so where
there are many offices there is usually
general and constant slamming of
bon nh fn
Earring thus occasioned the result is
torture. In time kindly nature steps
in and mitigates the evil by making
the auditory nerve less and less sus-
ceptible to an accustomed sound. ASK
a person who lives in cathedral
close. or under the shadow OF one OF
our great churches, whether the bells
do not disturb him; his reply is: bells!
never hear them"

FADS IN FLOWERS.


Florists shops abroad are much dif-
ferent from the ones in this
country In London, for ex-
ample, funeral freaths and en-
blems are displayed in the windows
with their prices attached. Some are
attractive, others very hideous. Lichen
is fashionable there for crosses ana
wreaths. and from this grisly-gray
background Gala lilies and white roses
peer.
Set pieces, the "gates ajar," broken
columns and floral pillows, are always
painful, for, in the first place, the nat
ural grace and beauty of the flowers IS
DESTROYED, and in the next there is no
excuse for the emblems. Flowers for
the dead should be scattered in care

ARE you TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
Some Requirements That VIII BE Found
Indispensable.


The universal article OF diet In that
country, depended upon and indispens-
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot De
used-it must be baking powder; and
the powder manufactured by the pro-
cesses of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors have
learned, is the only one which Will
stand In that peculiar climate OF cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for.
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one Of the cheap brands
of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens it for use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and difficult
route, he will find solid caked mass
or a lot of spoiled powder, with no
strength and useless. Such a mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska Is no place in which to expert
ment in food, or try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such
climate, and under the trying and
fatiguing conditions of life and labor
in that country, everything must be
the best and most useful, and above
all it Is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
ties. 1t Is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost a great part of its
value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who Is called
1.-The father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years upon the trail, In the
camp, and in the use of every kind OF
supply, says: I'VE find in Alaska that
the Importance of proper kind or
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with can of bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska We have tried all sorts, and
have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climatic changes
Of tho arctic region "
1t is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its RELIEF
expeditions, and Peary, the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose it's strength either or
board ship or in damp climates, and Is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient Of leavening agents. Hence 1t is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
It can be had of any of the trading
companies in Alaska, but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing, he should resist every attempt OF
the outfitter to palm off upon him any
of the other brands of baking pow
der, for they will spoil and prove the
cause of great disappointment and
trouble.

PEDDLERs IN MEXICO.
Why an Old Woman Wouldn't Sell All
Her Honey ut One Time.

Her Honey ut One Time.
while travelling in Mexico a few
years ago l had a funny experience
with a Mexican vender which goes to
show what little business ability the
lower classes have" said E. F. Guig-
non of st. Louis Il was en- route to
look at some mines away up in the
mountains. At the station where we
left the train to take the stage saw
an old woman selling some honey. She
did not have more than ten pounds OF
it altogether and as it looked so good
wanted to buy it all to take along with
us. l asked our interpreter to buy it.
Much to my surprise the old woman
would sell him but two boxes, claim
ing that if she sold it all to him she
would have nothing to sell to other
people, neither would she have any
thing else to do during the remainder
of the day.

The platform adopted by the leaders of
the Social Democracy who met in Chicago
a few days ago demands the abolition of
all United States courts. The platform,
after denouncing Federal courts and their
interference in labor disputes, proceeds
as follows:
Recognizing the utter impossibility of rad
ical social or political changes of any kind
until that invincible barrier-the Federal
judiciary-shall have been removed, we
shall make its removal our single political
aim in national politics until the Federal
courts shall have been destroyed and the
power of each State to regulate its own
internal affairs shall have been thereby re-
stored, Abolition of the Federal judiciary
will be the exclusive demand of the Social
Democracy of America in all congressional
and presidential campaigns. and we shall re-
fuse to divert our energies from the achieve
ment of this first indispensable reform.
This sounds like Debs, and was probably
drawn by him. 1t will be noticed it demands
the abolition not merely of the United
States district courts, which are particu-
larly odous to the Debsites, but the entire
Federal judiciary. This would include
United States circuit courts and the Su-
preme Court of the United States and leave
us without any Federal courts whatever.
But why make two bites Of cherry? The
objects aimed at by the Debsites can never
be attained as long any courts or law
exist; therefore they should demand the
abolition of State courts as well as Federal

time during the last few Gays. and should
be reinforced as soon as possible, but their
situation is not extraordinary. 1t is not an

hazards, and it has sometimes been done for
many days against greatly superior num-
bers. History shows this is a common Incl

good soldiers to complain of. This is not
intended to imply that those at Guam
