Mr.. Tulloch is no stranger, nor yet a
novice in the coal business, having been
dispensing coal from the corner of First

have ''some" Friends and we make
the prediction right now they will sell
some coal. The postal winds up in a
personal request for part of your bust

say that we have bought coal of Web

it was good enough so that we are go

pear into court and turn all such pro-
perty over to her.

NEAT GOING UP.
Retail Dealers In New York to Ad-
vance the Price.

vance the Price
New York, Aug12.-The Herald says:
Retail meat dealers in Greater New
York are preparing to advance price
from TO 3 cents pound on all meats.
They contend that unless they do so
many OF them will be forced to the wall
They explain that the present prices are
little above the wholesale cost, so that
with their rent and the fact that meat
loses weight through transportation
whereby the number of pounds the re-
tailers buy is greater than the number
they sell-many market men in New
York are conducting business at a loss.
At a meeting OF the retail butchers
association it was determined to take
action in the matter and a resolution
was drafted recommending that prices
be advanced for an indefinite period
This resolution will be introduced at the
next regular meeting of the association
on August p. It is generally believed
that it will be adopted by an over
Whelming vote.
Louis Wagner, president of the asso-
citation. in an interview said:
Beef is costing US from one and
half to two cents a pound more than it
did a year ago. The wholesale price of
pork loins a month ago was five cents
a pound, today it is nine. A pound Of
lamb then cost US nine cents, now it
costs eleven and a half, while calves
came at nine cents pound and now
are twelve.
western wholesale dealers control
the New York market They have been
advancing the price on account Of the
competition American beef is meeting
in the European market.
Chicago beef is selling at wholesale
in England today for cents a pound
less than it is here, Notwithstanding a
charge of SIPS a foot for refrigerator
room for transportation across the At
lantic. We in New York have to pay
for this in order to allow the western
packers to make their profit.
hi sob, Ia
will go into effect within a few weeks
and it is certain that if it is adopted it
will remain in force until wholesale
prices are lowered
As to the view the Chicago dealers
of the contemplated action by the butch
ers' association a representative of
Swift & Co. said:
I'VE should be glad to have the re-
tailers advance prices as they are fall
ing behind in their bills, and if no
change is made I would not be sur
prised within the next three months to
see all of them go out of business"

AMERICAN ENGINES
Not Finished So Well as English, But
Proving Satisfactory.

London. Aug. 12.-At a meeting of the
Midland Railway company the chair
man announced that the locomotive
superintendent had reported that, al
though the first ten American locomo-
tives were by no means equal in finish
to any English locomotives, they were
doing their work satisfactorily. It was
the company's custom, he said, to run
engines a thousand miles and then to
overhaul them, charging defects to the
makers. The same rule would be ap-
piled to American locomotives and the
company would then be better able to
form a reliable opinion of their merits.

STOOD BY THEIR LEADER.
Eighty Militiamen Go to Jail For
Their Captains Sake.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Eighty members
of the Illinois naval militia were placed
under arrest last night. Some days since
Captain William H. Thompson of the
naval militia, now in camp at Wau-
kegans Ill, left camp and came to Chi
cago. He declares that he had permits
sion and Captain Shahner, the COM
handing officer. held a contrary view
1t was decided to reprimand Thompson
and he declared that he would not ac-
cept a censure and demanded a court
martial This was refused and the
reprimand insisted upon. The entire
ships crew commanded by Thompson
sided with him and threatened to leave
camp if Shaffner's orders were carried
out. AS a result eighty men were placed
in the guard house.

SOME NEW COLORS.
Paris is inaugurating a new set of
colors, and judging from the titles given
the various shades considerable atten-
ton is being given the question by the
experts. A new shade of blue is known
as "au clair de Ia lune-'' A deep cream
is called queen of the Meadow, as It's
shade is exactly that of the wild flower
of that name. ''EVentide'' describes a
new gray, and really the color is deep,
mysterious and misty. A shade of pink
is described as poppy bud" as it gives
one the idea Of the silvery sheen seen
on the poppy bud.
