PEA CEFUL COMFY ISLAND.
Big Crowd Yesterday, but There Was Very
Little Excitement.

Considering that there were between 10000
and 80 600 people at Coney Island yesterday.
that resort was unusually peaceful and quiet.
The west end was going full blast. and. as Ex-
else laws and obnoxious ordinances about
concert halls don't 60 on national holidays
there were plenty Of good things to drink and
the usual interesting sights to see. All of the
resorts did rushing business. particularly
the Fatima Theatre and the Streets OF Asia
where accomplished muscle dancers wriggad
away until midnight without police Interior
ence for the ediiication Of the visitors.
The only accident Of the day was a cave-in OF
the board walk at the Bowery and Henderson's
walk. which scared a lot Of people. but didn't
hurt anybody. There We're several small scraps,
but the police were too busy arresting peddlers
who were selling stuff without licenses to in

There was a strong sea breeze blowing all
day long. and the island was really a most
comfortable place The wind kicked up a
good surf and several thousand people went In
bathing The traces OF the recent fires at

ings having already been constructed on most

Since the painstaking, conscientious,
capable master of stagecraft, Mr.. David
Belasco, presented to the playgoers OF
America that master play "The Heart
of Maryland" the people have expect
ed and look for even greater things
from this playwright. That Mr.. Bel
SEQ has not disappointed their expecta-
tions is fully attested by the success
of "Zaza," his latest and greatest con-
tribution of Americas stage. Since
its production early in last season,
New York has held onto ''Zaza" with a
loving grasp, and has chained the play
in a Broadway house with golden links
dropped into bursting box Office, to
a financial extent seldom if ever before

last we are to have it in this city on
Tuesday evening, November 14th, at

PIG IRON PRODUCTIONS.

There seems to be no alarm felt IN
the iron and steel world over the pos
sibility of the pig iron product running
short in the future, although the short
age this year has showed the price to
extreme figures and compelled the
postponement of much business and the
refusal of many contracts.
The production of pig iron has kept
steady pace with the rapid growth OF
iron and steel manufacture and export
in this country for the past two de-
cades and it is to be hoped it is but
temporarily behind this year and will
soon catch up. The latest Treasury
statistics on the subject show the
growth of pig iron production to have
been from 3.S35191 tons in 1880 to
11,773,934 tons in 1898.
1t is to be hoped that the fear ex-
pressed in some quarters some time
ago that the pig iron supply was run
ming short was groundless. The con-
census Of opinion in this country and
abroad seems to be that the growth
in the production of pig iron and in
steel and iron manufacture is likely to
continue for the present. The Railway
and Engineering Review, discussing
the phenomenal increase in iron man
ufacturing in the United States which
shows an increase of SO per cent in
the expectation of iron and steel dur
ing the year, says that 'the expansion
of the iron and steel making capacity
and projection of new mills and fur
naces announced in the trade journals
generally shows that the year 1900 will
be one of phenomenal activity and eX-
pansion. There are no evidences that
the demand is being overtaken by the
supply. The fact is known that every
furnace and mill owner has punch OF
promises to keep with anxious con-
sumers which will take three months
to fill.
Secretary Jeans, of the British Iron
Trade Journal, is also quoted as ex-
pressing the belief that the United
States will in 1899 produce 100000
tons of pig iron, and that she will pro-
duce nearly two-fifths of the pig iron
of the world"
Evidently there will be no slackenins
Of activity in the iron and steel trades
in which this locality is so deeply in
terested, for at least one and possibly
two years to come.
