ECHOES or GREAT COAL STRIKE.
Student Editors Joke
Is Taken Seriously.
Special Dispatch to Tho Ttmes.l

Special Dispatch to The Tfmes.)
PHILADELPHIA. Oct 2.-To have
one OF their most cherished jokes taken
seriously has been the sad lot for the
last week Of the Editorial Board OF ths
Punch Bowl, the Uni .ersity Of Pelnsyl-
wanna students comic magazine.
e The Punch Bowl is tho most daring VI
the student publications., and is constant.
" derising novel means OF attracting at
tention to Its various issues. The coaI
strike had not yet been settled when
plans were made for the first issue OF
this year. which appeared last Wcdnes-
day. Accordingly huge posters were pre-
pared by the staff artists announcing
that the magazine would be sold for
ten cents or three pieces OF coa..'
On Thursday the troubles OF the editors
began In the drst mali cologne box.
containg three Jumps OF anthracite
was received from a female reader rcsid-
Ing in New Jersey town. accompanied
by demand for a copy Of the fresh
man edition. which was just out.
With grace not at all BETTING hui.
morists, this request was complied al.n.
E Then In rapid succession came bundled
of similar character. Students from the
preparatory schools downtown invaded
the department stores in which the Punch
Bowl is sold with fuel OF varying sizes.
The climax was reached yesterday
morning. when the following letter w1s
received from man in a1anayunk.
IT haven't any coal at present, but
thought you might want to trade soma
second hand copies for cinders. II you

THE HON INDUSTRY.

The growth OF the iron and steel IN
dustry OF this country during the past
lew years has been something marvellous.
According to the Iron Trade Review
the pig iron output for the past year
amounted TO 17,652.91S tons against 10. 80, :
al tons for the previous year and 1Sl
100 tons for the year 1900. The consump-
don for the past year was 1s,2l0,S26 tons
The gain nthe output has been forty
per cent. in two years, and there is al
the present time no decrease in the de-
nand. Indeed. as the figures show, We
are importing iron, because our own IN
dustries are not able to meet the demand
for home consumption. This Is indeed
an iron age. Iron is entering into struc-
tural work as never before, and is largely
suprlanting wood. 1t is said that In the
PittsburS district alone about $1,000 tons
Of structural material has been used
within the past year in new buildings,
.,ridge work, etc.
In noting these figures the New York
Mail and Express mentions the further
interesting fact that the refusal Of the
United States Steel Corporation. or, as it
IS popularity called, the steel trust. to IN
crease prices has contributed greatly to
mis- increased use OF steel Tor building
purposes
III inis the mana gers of the steel trust
lave shown their good sense. They nave
4ot kept prices down Tor philanthropic
.casoI1s but because they we're satisfied
with fair profits and knew that it would
oe suicidal to put prices UP so high as
20 cause a decrease in consumption ana
a setback in business. 1t is this prlnc1-
pie which guides and controls the trusts
and makes them conservative. They have
discovered that money is TO be made by
popularizing their goods. and that more
money is to be made by large sales at
small pronts than by small sales at large
profits.

Governor Montague. OF Virginia; Cover

Isrodie. OF Ar1zona, thanking the EXPOSE

We sincerely hope that this is true
OF Virginia. We sincerely hope. that
the OLD DOMINION Will have at the St.
Louis Exposition an exhibit that will be
worthy OF ner and Will 1a,rly represent
her material wealth and progress.
n this thing is worth dong at all. it
is worth doing we'll. 1t would be better
for Virginia to have no exhibit than to
l,ave merely an exhibit OF rencs as she
had at Chicago, or an exhibit OF silrirel-
&c apples as she had at buftaio. a
picayune advertisement were worse
than none at all. for it would be a mis-
representation. Virginia is rich in all
