HANGED FOR BURNING COAL.
Strange Law Which Was in Force
in England in 1900.

| There will be an interesting function
in London shortly when the coal ex-
change celebrates its jubilee. The oc-
casion is one for recalling strange REM
iniscences; for as lately as the four
teenth century prohibition was issued
against the burning of coal. with Sc
we're penalties decreed against any per-
son who warmed his house by a coal
fire In the early days of Lord Mayor
Wilmington the burning of coal was
considered so great public nuisance
that it was made capital otfense, and
one man was actually hanged for in
dulging in coal fire. AS a matter Of
fact. this ordinance was never re-
pealed; but in "Dick" Whittington's
third mayoralty it is evident there was
a great trade in coal; and the sug-
gestion has been made that as coal was
brought to London in boats known as
the ''cats.' this was the real origin of
the story of Dick Wilmington and his
cat. The coal exchange, however. is a
modern institution. 1t is also one OF
the most important of LondOn'S marts.
