THE ADVANCE Is GENERAL.
Nearly All the COal-Men Put Up
Their Prices.

The advance in the price of coal. re-
ported in Sundays Dispatch, is quite
general. SO far as could be learned yes
terday, only one large dealer will refuse
to adopt the new schedule Of s. per ton
for anthracite and $3.50 for splint. The
advance went into effect last Saturday.
A gentleman representing one OF the
largest firms in the agreement said yes
terday afternoon that they were forced 10
do as they had done because of losing
money at the old prices. There had been,
however, he said, no combination formed
whatever.
The dealer who did not enter the agree
ment said he had been invited TO the con-
ference, but declined TO attend. Some
time ago he had raised prices and ex-
plained why he did so TO the people
through the papers. Since then the con-
ditions had not changed. and he saw no
reason for another change. He sells
anthracite at S. and splnt at Si25.

that one day she would have to tell Alan
Stacey the truth was as inevitable as
that one day she would have to die.
''By the bye, did you remember to tell

No, did not tell him. said Mary.
She flushed up vivid, guilty scarlet,

AN ITEM OF NEWS.

1t was Just three years after her mar
riage with Alan Stacey that Mary came
down stairs one morning into the long,
low ceiled dining room where breakfast
was awaiting her. She received the
noisy greeting Of the rough haired ter
rier with IA kindly pat on the head,
stopped and ruffied the fur of the great
Angora cat as he lay before the cheerful
fire She turned TO the manseryant
when he came in.
''Oh, John, Mr. Stacey has head
ache this morning, the worst he has
had for months He says he will take no
more than cup of tea and two bits of
dry toast.
Indeed, ma am, I'm sorry TO hear
that, saidJohn in a sympathetic tone.
"It's long time since the master has
had real bad headache Thank you
ma am, as she poured out the large
cup of tea.
Mary sat down in her place and
poured out her own tea. She was not
worried or upset at her husbands in
disposition. because he was man who
had all his life suffered occasionally
from violent headaches, and he declared
that since his marriage they had been
much less frequent than formerly. She
helped herself to some kedgeree and
