asked for nominations for the vacant

President Newhall announced that he
had spoken to the Mayor about the mat :.
ter, and that the chief executive had in

STUDY OF CLEOPATRA.
Ancient Woman Possessed Quality Known


 Charm.
 But though there is no beauty, there is granite, as one might say in the face on those old coins. One of them that slipped from hand to hand two thousand years ago, that was dropped into a beggar's palm, or offered to the priests in the temple, or filched from the precious pouch of murdered slave, or tossed to a dancing girl or given to the embalmers for their grim and gtc work, that was paid out for honest bread or filthy lust, or gorgeous British Museum, for Us folk of this age of bicycles and trolley cars and women lectures and law and order to come, look at and wonder about and ask ourselves why .trt, in view Of these lines worn down and down into the copper, insists upon representing Geo. patfa as a beautiful woman? It would seem that 1t must be because of a cer- tain quality which We know she pos sessed; a quality which either gives us the idea of beauty or. what is more wonderful, makes Us unconscious of its absence. Cleopatra had that vague tndefnable, tremendous thing called charm. But it would be hard to say just what constituted it; it certainly was independent of character; virtue was not essential to it; tenderness may or may not have accompanied it; cruelty belonged to it quite as much as sweetness; We are only sure that it's basis was intelligence. Curiously enough, there cannot be charm with out intelii nee; although, alas, there can be intelligence without charm. Back of Cteapatra's charm lay aston ishing intellectual attainment; there were acu ataUesmanship, the mastery Of many languages, the deepest scien- tifie learning Of her time, and good, clear sound common sense in living and governing. But she had more than this sine had Q knowledge of the hu- man heart which does not come from books but from God-or the devil. as its application may Margaret )eiand, n IIarper's Bazar.

Discovered Coal in PennsyIyania.

< number of prominent eeal men of Pennsylvania have decided to erect a monument of coal to Philip Ginter, the diseoverer of that fuel, at Summit Hill, near Mauch Chunk One hundred and nine years ago Ginter lived in rough cabin in the forests on the Mauch Chunk Mountain. While in quest of game for his family, whom he had left al home without food of any kind, his foot struck a black stone By. the roadside, not far from the Town of Summit Hill. he built fire of wood and threw pieces of the supposed stone about it. so that the embers might last longer while he was roasting 8 fowl. He was surprised, after little while, to see the stones glow and re- tain their heat for long time. He car- ried a lot of the coal home and burn ed it there. The few neighbors soon learned of the discovery, but there was no mining to any extent in Carbon county until after the war of 1872 had begun
