Coal Going Upward.
no other.

Anthracite coal has advanced Is cents
a ton in Martinsburg on account OF the
strike in the anthracite regions. The To-
cal dealers have not been quite SO hasty
IN advancing the prices as some Of the coal
dealers in the neighboring cities and the
local coal consumers can congratulate
themselves upon being giventhat chance to
lay in good suppy,if they do feel little
gloomy over the prospects for still higher
prices.
Lykens Valley Nut coal now sells for
$5.65 and S5.75 per ton and the stove coal
at S.. SO, an advance of IS cents over the
old prices.
The wholesale dealers have made an
advance of 90 cents per ton, but the local
dealers are still selling the supply they
have on hand at the IS cent advance.
There is no danger of coal famine.but
there is probability that prices will still
60 skyward. Hagerstown dealers have
advanced price 50 cents and Winchester
dealers 40 cents.

Racket on the Train

The Hagerstown Globe of Thursday
says;
Ayoung man from Martinsburg caused
lots OF excitement on the late train from
Chambersburg last night by displaying a
revolver and threatening to shoot young
man from this city, who he claimed had
insulted him. One young lady tainted
and several Others ran from the car. The
Martinsburg boy,who was intoxicated, was
receiting poetry, when the Hagerstown
boy slapped his mouth. A member OF
Co. B, this city,who was in lie car, drew
his bayonet and separated the combatants
until friends interfered and got them
apart. On the same train one firemen
threw glass at another fireman. The
glass struck the side of the car and was
broken.

alone skirts. Among the new fall goods
none is more handsome when made
rightly than the new crepOus, as they
are now woven so that they cannot
drag out of shape. There are also
many beautiful black goods, among
them the silk warp eudoras and henri
ettas and the old standard drap d'etes
and many more all in the same line,
and they are so well known that they
scarcely require mention, and | should
not mention them were it not for the
fact that all the newest and best of the
STYLES for fall are smooth-that is, all
except the hairy surfaced stuffs. These
are among the novelties. and, though
they are new and therefore desirable
in a way, they are not good value for
any one who wishes to get all the good
there is in dress. For such as do a
good peau de sole or handsome eudo-
ia is best, as they never Wear out and
are always elegant and everywhere are

More Attention TO the Useful Than

Especial 1DfEtEDDIuGDCe-t
NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-- Now comes the
time when more attention IL paid to
the useful than to the strictly orna-
mental and we find the wooden fabrics
In such abundance that it is difficult to
choose out for mention the best and
handsomest Flarnelettes for wrap
pers are prettler than ever before, and
now that that stuff is considered one Of
the standard weaves, filling a place
that nothing else does, the manufac--
turers are producing 1t in better and
firmer weave and faster colors For
wrappers and home attire for every
day use there is nothing anywhere
near the price so good A first class
piece Of fannelette can be purchased
for 10 to IL cents yard. 1t is nearly
If not quite yard Wide, and IL makes
very pretty and useful garment.
Some OF the designs in these goods are
extremely ugly, and the colors are
crude and raw, but the lady of refined
taste will always find what she wants,
and / may add In connection with
these goods here that nearly all the
wrappers have the fiounce around the
bottom, and this may be narrow or
wide, or it may be what we used to
call Spanish fiounce, and the upper
portion is generally finished off with a
wide sailor collar, and the whole may

Among other useful and sensible
things are the short rainy day skirts
and the skirts for walking In the new
style, which means that the walker
wants exercise, and to be free to get
it she has her skirts made of such
length as to give her perfect liberty Of
motion. The golfing and wheeling
skirts we all know, and there is little
change In them, but short skirt in
tended simply for smart walks when
the weather is dry, but dusty, is new
thing. 1t may be trimmed quite lavish
ly with whatever trimming is deemed
suitable for the waist, and there is
where the dry weather short skirt is
novelty. The cheviots and other woods
such as are the accepted thing for tai
lor suits are right. Several rows Of
tailor stitching are really more pleas

Some are of double faced goods, and
the facing to the skirt is set on the out
side so as to leave the plaid Of the lin

of National Convention.
Lincoln, March 2O.-In effect VIII
liam ]. Bryan announced last night to
the Democratic party and to the nation
Mt large, the platform which he cOnsid-
ers best for the Democratic party and
practically upon which he desires to
stand, IL nominated. mt the Kansas City
convention.
The platform which was adopted by

publican party on the Puerto Rico tar

perialism," and favors the choice of
United States senators by popular vote.
The platform is practically the crea-
ton of Mr.. Bryan. He did not write it,
personally, but lie was consulted con-
corning 1t, and before it was read to
the convention, he had approved Of 1t
throughout.
The platform adopted by the POpu-

same as that adopted by the Demo-
Gratis. 1t differs somewhat in form,
but conflicts in no essential point.
Both conventions to-day were enthus-

CAN'T LOWER FARES.
Dstroit's Attack ON street Car Lines De-
foAtAd

fsatsd.
Detroit, Mich, March 2O-Judge
Swan of the United States District
Court, has rendered decision deny
ing the validity of IN ordinance re-
quiring the street railway companies
to reduce rates OF fare to 3 cents. The
court says there is nothing in the char
ter Of the city which authorizes such
an ordinance and allows an injunction
to restrain the city from enforcing It,
Said Judge Swan:
ITO enforce this ordnance would be
an act not of regulation but of spoila-
ton. The police power includes the
general management as regards the
protection of life and property. and
the accommodation of the public: but
the legislature itself could not effect
the fares agreed upon. 1t might be for
the welfare Of the public that fares
should be abolished altogether but
that would be cOnfiscatiOn and could
not be tolerated"
A contention of the city in defend
ing the injunction suit was that since
the older ordinances provided that
rates of fare mot exceeding ) cents
should he charged. the city had power
to regulate the rates mt reasonable
figures. The court holds that the sub
stance or meaning of all these ordlinan-
ces permits 5-cent fares. which priv
ilege cannot be afterward annulled.

The exchange of air in the lungs de-
ponds as much on the elasticity of the
air cells and of the chest resuming its
normal capacity as upon the forma-

power we must avoid whatever endan-
gers the elasticity of the air cells such
things. for instance, as pounding over
the lungs when they are distended

We should use exercises which
strengthen the exploratory muscles.
The backward fiexions accomplish this
purpose. All exercises are respira-
tory; but In addition to this, each one
should have time set apart for special
breathing exercises. Bearing the i'm
portance OF good breathing in mind,
teachers can introduce no postures
which contract the chest nor applaud
any gymnastic feat performed which
causes the chest to be less flexible, or
