COAL SUPPLY
IS SHORT
Anthracite Roads Unable to
Satisfy the Dema
Cannot Keep Pace With the
Unusual Quantity Desired
This Winter--Scarcity Of
Cars Gives Trouble.

To keep the supply of anthracite coal
serious problem in the Eastern cities,
The great strike of last fall caused all
stocks to be depleted, and since then
the demand for coal has been so con-
stant and large as to absorb it as fast
AS the railroad companies have been
able to get it to market.
Speaking of the situation Yesterday,
an official of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway, the largest dstribut-
or. said:
There is an unusual demand for coal
We have more orders than we can fill
We have no stocks in prepared sizes.
OF course, there is plenty of pea coal.
We are shipping to tidewater and inter
mediate points between 1,2OO and 500
cars of coal IL day, and from 200 to 400
carloads to points west.
1.-The statement that anthracite is
short in the East because of the large
amount sent West is incorrect. While
the fall shipments have been large they
were small during the summer, so that
If anything less than an average amount
of coal has gone West this year
The problem is one of cars as we'll as
mining. Production might be increased
somewhat, but the railroads are not in
position to carry any more coal out. or
course If we diverted cars from. the the
bituminous trade we could bring down
more anthracite, but to take cars in that
way would mean the closing down for
want of fuel Of the great iron plants on
our lines, and this must not be, for not
only do they employ thousands OF hands,
but also give us an immense freight
traffic"

An Epidemic Is Feared.

FROM the Philadelphia Press,
In both Luzerne and Schuylkill coun-
ties the feeling is quite general that
there is no escape from an epidemic of
smallpox this winter. The authorities,
as in most other places, have done all
they could through the summer to eradi-
cate the disease but it has got fresh
and most dscouragng start in both
counties, in Luzerne at Plymouth, in
Schuylkill at Auburn.
In the latter county DR.. Haberstadt,
who is the medical inspector of the dis.
trict, says he does not see how an epi-
demic is to be avoided, to quote from a
local paper, and he urges that vaccina-
ton be general. His advice will not be
needed by large proportion of the porn-
latian, foreigners particularly, numer-
Gus through that section of the state.
who are largely opposed to anything of
the kind, and many of whom are oppos-
ed to protecting themselves by a reason
able degree of cleanliness.
The Two counties in question, how
ever, can console themselves with the
knowledge that they will be no worse
Off than some others. Smallpox prom
ises to have busy and prosperous
time in Pennsylvania this winter,

Barbara Frietchie," will be given here
on the 29th inst. There are few plays
dealing with incidents of the Civil war
that have risen above the ordinary
drama. and one of these is Barbara
Fretchie," which is conceded by per-
sons qualified to Judge to be the most
sonl-stirripg play of its kind ever pro-
dnced. Mr.. Fitch is the greatest writer
of American dramas now living and
anything coming from his pen bears the
stamp of talent and ability. As there
is but one company producing the play,
it will be seen here with all the gor-
geousness and brllancy that caused its
success in the large cities. barbara

Do you blame man for being
hard to please about his clothes?
We don't. The fact is we are
hard to please ourselves-hrst about
clothes, then about manufacture;
in fact, everything else pertaining
to the clothes we sell. But there
is the success of our ever increas-
ing business.
The worry is done in advance of
you. The 'hard-to- please" man
becomes easy-tells his friends
about us. Hence our success

The Vampire Dat.

South America, especially Venezuela.
is the home Of the vampire bat, that
horrible animal whose blood sucking
propensitics are so well known. In
venezuela the vampire when caught is
often made the subject Of an expert.
mcnt that is as curious us it Is cruel
though In connection with such n loa;h
some animal as this giant bat the cruel
ty Is rather naturally lost sight Of 10y
the people who have to suffer from it's
rnvages.
The vampire Is captured in q thick
cloth. 1t Is then taken out. and through
It's two extended wings nails are tlriv
en-, securing the animal to door or II
wooden paling. A cigarette is then
lighted and placed in the bats mouth
At once the animals eyes shine
strangely. and 1t begins to puff the
smoke In and out with frcnZicd gasps
Its actions being exactly those Of tn"
most hardened smoker, keeping firm
hold OF the cigarette the while between
Its sharp, deadly teeth. When the Gig
arctic is nearly finished. Il blow Oh the
head nuts an end to the animals OK
istcnce.
The extraordinary part Of the expert
ment lies in the fact that the bat does
not ut once reject the cigarette. as he Is
OF course at liberty to do. There are
many who affirm that the bat really
does enjoy the tobacco. The probabili
ty Is that the animal is SO maGdcncd
by fear and pain that he puffs away
unrcasoningly and lirrccly. his instinct
telling him that in the properties Of the
tobacco lies oblivion.
