COAL FREIGHT RATES.

That was an important meeting of
the freight agents of the different rail
road companies of the middle and
western states held in New York on
Tuesday. The principal question con-
sidered was an advance In anthracite
coal freight rates. An advance in the
carrying of bituminous coal was also
discussed. No action was taken, but
the advances will, In all probability be
made at meeting to be held on Fri
day of this week.
The business that some of these rail-
road companies are doing is simply
phenomenal, and the one great anxiety
seems to be in the matter of moving
coal. 1t would not be at all surprising
If there were a shortage of coal here in
New England. regardless of price, ow-
ing to the well-known shortage of cars
and the steadily advancing freight
rates. ALI this of course, has an in
direct effect upon the price for local
consumption, and the prediction of
Worcester dealers relative to still high
er figures seems to be fairly we'll

the people Of Boston are gradually
learning to make a distinction between
such mines as the Calumet and the
fake schemes that come out with a

The wage workers, particularly in the
building trades, are making wonderful
strides in the matter of the short hour
working day. Over two thousand car
penters and woodworkers begin their
labors in Boston on an eight-hour basis
Monday morning, with the minimum
wages of SIS per week. 1t is pleasing
to observe the good sense that has
characterized the conferences that
brought about this condition of things.
The question of strike was very care
fully avoided. 1t is that bugaboo that
has been the obstacle to satisfactory
settlement in scores of efforts, and the
success that has come with it's obliter-
alton will mark new advance in the
efforts made for labor legislation in
New England.

Some Of the romantic people have
linked the names of Dewey and Helen
Gould, and prophesied marriage, with
out the knowledge or consent Of either
party. Perhaps this may have had
something to do with the invitation
which Atlanta has issued to Miss Gould
to visit that city and be entertained
with Dewey. 1t is splendid southern
tribute to Miss Gould's good work
and boundless generosity during the
war with Spain.

been made. The Philippines should
annex the United States instead of vice

The so-called murder mystery in New
York, which occupies so much space in
the metropolitan press, is not more of a
mystery than the Sterling swamp af-
fair here in Worcester county. It is
made more gruesome, to be sure, be-
cause of the Acknowledgement of the
body, but there is not less known of
the victim or the one who caused her
death, than of the woman whose body
was found at Sterling and her destroy
er. 1t is now four months since the
Sterling tragedy was discovered, and

OUT AND ABOUT.

Apropos of the annual meeting of the
Associated Charities, tomorrow even
ing, in Memorial hall, it is interesting
to note the testimony of the United
States commissioner of labor. In his
extremely interesting Outline of prac-
teal sociology" just published, Col.
Wright devotes chapter to Poverty"
discussing its causes and the methods
of relief
Speaking of the abuses which inev-
itably arise when charitable work is
not organized and systematized, he
says: Such abuses have led to the
system usually known as the Associ-
ated Charities, under which all the or
CARNATIONS devoted to charity agree or
ought to agree to have their proteges
registered under one central head BY
systematic visitation and inspection.
many Of the old abuses have been pre-
vented, and it is the aim Of the visitors
to aid the needy to find ways of caring
for themselves. OF late years it has
been questioned whether any good com
mensurate with the effort is being ac-
complished by organizations working
Independently Of the Associated Char
tiles, or by indiscriminate charity"
The Society of American Musicians
and Composers, formerly the Manu-
script society of New York, has sent
out handsome prospectus addressed
to all former members and musicians
generally throughout the country, in
viting membership in the new organi-
cation, and setting forth it's aims and
advantages. AS far as conditions in
this country allow, the new society is
based upon the methods of the ALICE
meme Deutsche musik-verein of Ger
many and the Societe des Compositeurs
Francois of France, which in their re-
spective countries have effected such
important results in the introduction
and development of native composers.
The purpose Of the society is to adj
vance the cause of musical composition
in America, by Offering to every com
poser an opportunity for the perform
ance Of his or her works under the best
conditions. Any member of the So
ciety may present works for produce
| ton which will receive due considera-
| ton by the committee in charge. The
widest liberality will also be used in
| the selection of works for production by
| the society, and musicians will be af-
| forded an opportunity of hearing their
| compositions performed in immediate
contrast with those Of the greatest com
posers of this and other lands The
| society will be at perfect liberty to pre-
sent any composition which will add
| to the value Of the programs, or which
| it will profit American musicians to
| hear.
