Soft Coal Market.
Conl Trnde Jonrnnl.1

Coal Trade Journal
There is plenty Of demand reported in
soft coal circles and the outlook is for
continuance thereof, and now there
has been settlement Of the wages basis,
the operators can go ahead and make
up plans for the coming season. which
really looks Ia be one Of the most active
that has been experienced in many
years. The demand for coal has recent
ly been so heavy that companies have
been unable to meet IL, and In conse-
quence prices have advanced materially.
The price Of soft coal has risen fully so
per cent in the last year, and with the
advanced cost Of mining and the increase
in transportation, it is likely TO stay at
the increased figures.
Happily the wage scale in the soft
coal districts Of the union, which are
competitive, have been adjusted on
basis which is eminently fair to both
sides-the working miner and the own
er or operator OF the mines. The men
are 10 get an advance in the basis scale
OF II cents ton for the year from April
| last. There are some minor poi nts to
be settled such ms the mine run basis
compared with screened coal, but all
this will be satisfactorily adjusted.
In Pennsylvania there Is no let up In
the demand for soft coal and the rail
roads handling this coal have all their
resources taxed to furnish cars enough
and motive power sufficient to haul it
to markc;. Tho high prices continue,
and there is no prospect Of any decrease
in price until after the first Of April, as
while with the coming Of warmer wealth
er the consumption may slightly de-
crease, all consumers will urge forward
all the coal they can, in order TO pro-
vide ahead OF the increase in freights
on this coal which goes into effect at
that time.

A Reply to Comrade Gray.

MIR. EDITOR:-I have read Comrade
Gray's card In the county papers and
note that he bases his claims to the
consideration Of the Republican voters
rs Il candidate for Delegate to the State
Convention on the fact that he has al
ways supported the Republican candi-
dates for Governor and President, and
that he carried musket four years dur.
ing the War Of the Rebellion. He very
carefully refrains from saying that he
supported the rest Of the very numerous
nominees of the Republican party, who
are AS much entitled to Republican
votes. and Of as much Importance in
Keeping of party organization as the
candidates for Governor and President.
There are three candidates for the
same office, namely. o. Fl. Broadhead.
S. 7. North and A. X. Chaplin, who,
although too young TO have carried a
musket, have not only voted for Repvb-
lican candidates for President and Gov
ernor, but have also the additional
'N''f VI h"'ihS ShPi'bi h'h bhO ibob VI
the ticket, and believe that majority
rule should at all times prevail.
Comrade Gray's fling about using the
organization for selfish purposes would
not have been made prior to the de-
mand of the G.. A. II. and w. II. G. that
the title Of the Brookvillc Memorial
Home be transferred from the trustees
TO the Woman's Relief Corps before
another appropriation he made by
the State, Mr.. Gray being one OF the
trustees. Neither would it have been
made il State Treasurer Jackson had
complied with his request for II deposit
Of State funds in the National bank OF
which he is II director. Hence it will
be seen that Comradc Gray has a griev-
ance that effects his loyalty to the Re-
publican party. ]. G. MITCHELL,

Experience tells me, commit not your

this method cannot but go asundcr, as
the amount you have to learn is too
much for the ordinary mind. The

nothing in comparison with what there
is To know, then he is on the road to

a student than to read of the past OBJ

presents comparison by which we may
see the mistakes Of others and profit by

does not Introduce them on our
crowded lakes and rivers and straits
crowded now by finer. larger freight
craft than are to be found on the At
lantic or Pacific.
1t is ascertained that experiments
with what is called the Pintsch gas
lighted buoy-bell attachment have
been carried on for more than year
and that the results prove it to be
perfect success. Buoys of this type
are now made that will not only burn
continuously from eighty to 365 days,
according to capacity desired. out will
ring bell every fifteen seconds au-
tomatically, thereby overcoming the
fault of the ordinary bell buoy, which
is dumb when the surface of the water
is perfectly smooth. This improve
ment to the Pintsch buoy costs but
$500 more than those without It and
is of inestimable value to the masters
of all descriptions of craft, from the
500-footer down to the smallest coast
lugger; and it goes without saying
that the great and growing yacht
fleet of the lakes and the princely
private steam yachts are as much in
terested as other vessels.
When lake vesselmen know some
thing they need and want they are
not backward in asking for it, and the
indications are that the lighthouse
board will soon hear from the Lake
Carriers association in regard to the
adoption of this new improvement on
the lakes, whether it has been adopt
ed on the seacoast or not It is said
the new style of buoy would be much
more serviceable in crowded chan
nels than the electric-lighted buoys,
which are etinguished and become
useless during gales, time when
they are most needed. The gas baoy
never goes out during the tirle for
which it is constructed to burn.
while the ringing of bell in q. fog, in
addition to a. permanent light, would
be boon, the need of which has long
been felt.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

the custom-house people or the whar-
fingers tried to arrest one, he was pro-
tected by his companions. 1t was es-
timated in 1898 that goods to the
value Of two hundred and fifty thous-
and pounds were stolen every year
from the ships in the pool by the men
who worked at discharging cargo. The
people grew no richer, because they
sold their plumber for a song and
drank up the money every day. But
they had, at least, as much as they
could drink.
Imagine, then. the CONSERVATION
and disgust of this honest folk when
they found that the ships were in
future going to receive cargo and to
unload, not in the open river, but in
dock, the new wet-dock, capable of
receiving all; that the only entrance
and exit for the workmen was by a
gate at which stood half-a-dozen
stalwart warders; that the good old
leathern apron was suspected and
handled; that pockets were regarded
with suspicion and were searched;
and that the lockers who showed
bigness in any portion of their figure
were ANONYMOUSLY set aside and
strictly examined.

A Memory.

Betwixt the blown sands and the flow
ing sea
We stood at nightfall. In the hollow
west
The ultimate torch of day fiared for
space,
Sank and expired. A wind whined
round the dunes,
And ragged shreds of vapor, salt and
chill,
Went by us in the flaw. We had no
To shed, no word to say. Our stricken
heads
Were bowed together, and her stream
ing hair
Swept DER my cheek. Swiftly the
gray night fell,
And like huge hand blotted sea and
shore.
| heard her garments rustic in the
gloom;
A moment on my breast she laid her
brow,
Then turned. and from the darkness
where she fed
A sob came down the gust Twas ages
since,
But memory still broods on that black
hour.

LONDON oMNIBUSES.
Some Facts About Them of Not Com.
mon knowledge.

In Cassell's Magazine w B. Robert
son gives some curious letails of the
omnibus traffic of London. More than
half of the omnibuses Q,320)," he
says, belong to the London General
Omnibus company, the next biggest
proprietor being the London Road Car
company, with APO, the Filings, the
London Omnibus Carriage company
and combination of private proprie-
tors owning the rest. AS to what a
bus does, it runs on an average Ga
miles day, carries 420 passengers
and earns G2 los. Some OF them do
this without much effort, just accord
ing to the roads they have to run on
and will live for nearly 40 years. Just
as showing the difference the road
makes to healthy bus, it may be
stated that buses running up and
down the hills to and from the north
of London require to have their wheels
tired every six weeks, whereas buses
running along the level, as those on the
Putny and Hammersmith routes do,
go IL months without being retired.
Hills necessitate the frequent use of
the brake, which, of course puts a
strain upon the bus and wears the
wheels. Attached to each bus is a
stud of ~ horses of which only 10. or
five pairs, are worked in any one day,
thus insuring a complete days rest
for each pair every sixth day. AS a

ABOUT GEORGE ABE, HuMoRIsT
A Little Sketch of the Author of
Fables in SIanq.

George AIDE. the latest humorist. is
Hoosier, says the Indianapolis Jour-
nal, and his humor has the same
homely twang which characterizes so
many of James Whitcomb Rileys
dialect sketches. Nothing could be
more hilariously American than these
fables, and yet the author is but one
generation removed from the south of
England. His father was born in
Sussex, and came to America when he
was Ii years old Mr.. AIDE spent his
early life in country town. then
went to an Indiana college, found his
way to Chicago. received a newspaper
training and developed taste for
travelling. He has been to Europe
twice, the second time going as far
east as Constantinople and last winter
he journeyed to Japan. China and the
Philippines.
His theory is that any one who
wishes to unite with truth an under
standing of the essential features of
life in America should travel in other
countries, and then come back pre-
pared to receive fresh impressions
and make intelligent comparisons.
And although many of the fables
poke fun at our institutions, pre-
tensions and customs, there is never
any sign in them of Anglomania or
other foreign diseases.
There is an amusing story in rela-
ton to Mr.. AIDES first book of gables
in Slang" Neither the author nor the
publisher anticipated the great sue
cess which the book achieved. 1t was
put out as little flyer" for the holi-
day trade. but within month it was
one of the best selling books in the
market and had beaten all records
established by the earlier books

When Mr.. AIDE saw his royalties &C.
cumulating and began to receive kind.
ly mention from the critics. and the
book had been read by President Nc
Kinley at cabinet meetings, and there
had been Canadian edition and some
talk of an English edition. he began
to suspect the fables had more merit
than he had thought. But one fall
day the lady in charge of the public
library at Indianapolis came out in a
proclamation barring Fables in Slang
on the ground that the book was
"inane." A considerate friend i'm
mediately carried the news to AIDE.
at has come at last" ne said
solemnly. 81 knew if they ever got
on to me anywhere it would be in
Indiana"
But this is not right" persisted
his friend. Whatever the book may
be it is not inane'
Il don't know what inane' means
said the author. "but if it means what
it sounds like | think she's right But
| don't think she ought to go and tell
everybody. This is a time when
Hcosiers should stand together"
In spite of the unexpected setback
in his native state, Mr.. AIDES little
book went through one edition after
another. The second volume, More
Fables, which has just been issued,
contains 20 fables, most of which are
entirely new, not having appeared in
any periodical previous to their pub
LEGATION in book form.

Chose the Sunset.

An excellent piece of advice, which
may be applied in many cases, was
once given by William Hunt, the
artist, to an unwise pupil The young
man was making a sketch of land
scape bathed in the sunset light of
summer day. In the foreground stood
a picturesque old barn. Mr.. Hunt
stood behind his pupil silently for
few moments, watching him work.
Suddenly he stopped and put his
hand on the young painters arm.
See here" he said firmly, IF you
spend so much time painting shingles
on barn, you'll never have time to
paint sunsets! You'll have to choose"
1t did not take the young man long
to see the point, and make his choice.
He never forgot his famous teachers

gerate the Importance of details
