WHY COAL rs mon.
Lehigh valley Man Says the Independent

The contract for coal for the Police De-
partment expired Yesterday and the last
delivery, consisting of ten tons, was made.
The Fire Department has for some weeks
been buying coal in open market and the
Police Department will have to do the
same.
W. II. Sayre, vice-president Of the I.e-
high Valley Railroad and member Of the
committee of q rec appointed by the coal
companies To regulate the sale Of coal
by the pail, said yesterday that the dis
tribution wac being well watchsd to make
sure that 1t was AZ effective as Possible.
In reference TO the rivals Of coal here lac
said:
There are enormous quantities OF an
thracite being mined now. but the de-
inand Is still more enormous You can
take ~ from me that this company and all
he other companies, realizing that Greater
New York has 100000 Of population,
are rushing not only more coal actually
here, but more in proportion than TO any
other place. Boston and other cities are
being neglected to care for New York
The big compa MES. he said, had char ged

He's the Man whose Modest Farm Swelled

INV
Ponsonby Ogle, we'll known as a news
paper writer and a wit, died of pneumonia
in Milan, Italy. on Wednesday night. Ogle
spent a good deal Of his time in this country
and last winter lived at the Hotel Savoy
in this city. Ogle bought a farm in the
Berkshires during one Of his visits to this
country. II was just a plain, everyday
New England farm. but country editor
printed a story about it. and before long
Oele had been advertised all over the
country as the proprietor of 5000 acres,
which he was going to convert into an
estate on old English lines.
Ogle was never able to get rid Of the
reputation that this story gave him. His
fame as the owner of a baronial estate
preceded him everywhere As matter
of fact, the property consisted Of about
200 acres. Ogle was member of we'll
known English family and was once con-
nected with the London Times.

year tolerate the saloon nuisance II the
yty could not also have the benefit of the
license fees and that which applies to Bur-
lington would apply to every town and
city in the State. Mr.. Morrow thought
the time when the people are to vote on
a license bill should not be in the winter
when the small towns would not have
an equal chance with the larger towns
and cities. he suggested a referendum
to the people the last week in May.
Representative Newton of Reading said
his little mountain town sells Sl,S00 worth
of liquor annually. He would vote for
any good law but never to continue the
prohibition town agent any longer in Of
flee.
Ex-Represcntative Miller of Burling-
ton, agent for the Burlington Drug Com
pany, said the present law cuts off the
wholesale druggist from selling pint
of alcohol which is Just as necessary at
times as epson salts or morphine. The
company he represents has 800 600 invest
ed and their interests are in jeopardy
simply on account of the present law.
He urged the committee to pass a law
that would give druggists an even chance
with other lines Of business.
1t is probable that the Joint committee
on temperance will draft new bill
which will embody the best features of
all of the license bills introduced and
that such a measure will go through
both houses.
