Advance in Coal Freights.
Little Coal at Tfdewater,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA. The unusual
scarcity of coal in the New England
States is responsible for the charter of the
schooner E. G. Allen, now here to load
IT'S tons of fuel for Augusta at SO. so ton,
the highest freight paid out of Phladel-
phia to port in Maine for 40 years.
So far as is known, the last rate quoted
to Augusta was between 80 cents and a
dollar ton. Philadelphia coal shippers
cannot begin to fill the orders that are
pouring in from the New England States
and in the opinion of the dealers it looks
very much as though that section of the
country is about to experience coal fam
inc that will mean suffering and heavy
losses to the manufacturing districts.
Coal is scarce at tidewater points and
even upon it's arrival at seaport towns the
greatest difficulty is being experienced in
getting bottoms to carry it forward to the
points required.
AUGUSTA, Nov. IA. Coal rates are
high and The price of coal is expected to
jump. High rates are everywhere pre-
vailing and the liability of the Kennebec

pense.

A New Challenger.

a cable message was received in New
\ DIRK city Nov. 9th announcing that Alfred
Hdrmsworth, editor and proprietor of the
London Daily Mail, intended to have a
challenger prepared to race here for the
America S cup next summer. Mr. Harms
worth has written letter to Sir Thomas
Upton, saying that he would like to have
a chance at the cup, and would challenge
unless the owner Of the Shamrock intended
to try again in 1900.
A member of the New York Yacht
Club said that he believed the Harms
worth challenge would come by cable in a
few days, but that if anything happened
to it there were others in the background
waiting for the situation to develop.
81 think he said, ''that the New
York club is going to be kept busy for a
number of consecutive years, and that
there will be no blank in 1900. But |
don't think this necessarily entails the
building of new defenders each year, or
for next year. The Columbia is a well
tried machine that works to perfection,
and | regard her as in advance of her
year.
''Fife is knocked out by illness, and |
don't believe there is another designer in
England that can make the present
Columbia hustle to come in first. If Mr..
Harmsworth challenges and thoroughly
believe he will don't believe that any
thing better than the Columbia need be
sought on this side.''

Why Ladysmith Was so Named.

Ladysmith, which has been brought
into such prominence since the outbreak
of the Boer war, was named after the wife
of General Sir Harry Smith. His mar
riage was romance of the Napoleonic
wars. When the British under Sir Ar
thur Wellesley afterward Duke of Well
ington, were driving the French out of
Spain Henry Smith was captain in the
British army. One night he and another
young officer in a Spanish town which the
British had just occupied were visited by
two beautiful Spanish girls of high rank,
who begged their protection in the alarm
ing circumstances in which they were
placed The protection was, of course,
given, and Captain Smith fell desperate
ly in love with one of the girls, and sub
sequently married her.
Afterward he became General Sir Har-
ry and she Lady Smith. Sir Harry was
employed in South Africa after it became a
British possession, and his name is per-
petuated by the town of Harrysmith, just
across the Orange Free State border from
Natal New York Press.
