OPERATORS HOPEFUL.
No Famine Feared in Event Of
General Strike.

coal operators are inclined to believe that
even should trouble break out among the
miners In the Hazleton region 1t Will not

therefore. no famine of coal feared. But
II Is the common belief that. should a strike
be declared one Immediate result would be
an advance in the price all along the line.
An advance September l has been gerer-
ally expected. but 4 strike would doubttess
have an important effect ON prices. Even
the prospect OF trouble had noticeable
effect to-day. Dealers who have been slow
about buying hastened TO get in in advance
of n possible raise in prices, and large or
ders of coal We're placed.
In 1887 and 1898. when a strike occurred IN
the Schuylkill and Lehigh districts, the
whole market was supplied by the Nyom-
ing and Lackawanna districts so that eX-
cept in what is looked upon the remote
event of general strike. an extreme short
age is not feared. No indications of trou-
BILE in the Schuylkiil district have thus far
been brought to the attention Of the Phila-
delphia operators, and It is thought that
even should a strike occur in the Wyoming
and I-ackawanna districts the Schuylkill
district would probably be exempt. Opera
tors are inclined to think that trouble may
be aVerted.
J. w Alder Of Alder & Ruby, publishers
of Coal Statistics. said that in his opinion
the stocks are now about normal, the pro-
duction having kept pace with the demand.

London, Aug. 2S.-tCopyright. 1900 by w.
r. Hearst .)-Maybelle Gilman. the bright
particular star in THE Casino Girl did
not sing the title role tonight. From the
relay box she witnessed the performance
and saw Marie George in her part. Wheth-
er Miss Gilman has quit Lederers company
is a matter OF lively discussion among
members in the Shaftesbury Theater.
Shortly before Lcderer sailed for America
he is said 10 have sold half interest of
The Casino Girl to Lowenthal for $4,000,
and Norman J. Norman was left in charge
of Lederer's interests. Norman being on Il
vacation for a week past, Lowenthal had
fun direction of the company, and to-day,
Miss Gilman being late for rehearsal Low
enthal scolued her for her tardiness. The
singer wheeled on her heel and walked out.
Members of the company say there have
been differences between Miss Gilman and
Lederer for some time.
While witnessing the performance to-
night. Miss Gilman is said to have received
an offer of $500 n week from George Ed
wardes Miss Gilman's salary in the Led
erer company is said to be $50.
Lowenthal could not be found after the
performance. but is quoted as saying that
Miss Gilman cannot again play in THE
Casino Girl until she apologies to him. In
view of the fattering offer of Edwardes she
is unlikely to make this concession.

Mosquitoes troubled Miss Neall. She

mosquitoes away. But suddenly the blaze
