WELSH PURCHASES.
Not Enough Coal to Meet the American
 Demand

London. October 6.-Reports from Cardiff say that twenty-five steamers have been secured for early sailing from South Wales ports for New York and Boston with coal, and it is said that American purchases during the last week O. Cardiff alone totaled 10O.- eco tons of which S0,000 tons are for New York. The purchases at Swansea last week tCtaled 10000 tons. It is es- t!mated that Welsh sales of coal for the rush began. Anthracite coal is now quoted at the highest price ever reached in this country.
 prominent coal dealer On exchange said to a representative of the Asso- ciated Press today. "I should not be surprised if retail coal in Lcndon would reach s1O per ton during the next few weeks"
 A representative of a big Swansea anthracite company said:
 While we are selling every ton of hard coal we can spare for America. the increase in price is affecting Us ad- versely in other ways. We spent s. .0OO yearly during the last ten years to pop ularize anthracite for house use in En- gland. We have kept uu stove stores and agents in London and elsewhere and were just beginning tc make headway, and now this big jump in prices threat ems to put back our crusade several years at least"
 The French miners strike has not yet affected the Welsh market. but ii it spreads there will undoubtedly be a further advance in prices Ocean ireights are also rising. al- though the earlier shipments were talk en at normal prices. Some steamers ! owned by big concerns such as Elder DemDster & Co, the Leyland line and the Johnstone line. are loading coal at Cardiff and Liverpool. It is net ex- pected that sufficient anthracite can be cbtaiNed to supply the American de- mand.

Chief Fly drographer Newell of the government service and numerous other men of of- ficial standing are among the dele gates. At today's session a message was read from President Roosevelt, saying there was nothing in which he has taken greater interest than na- tionally aided irrigation. President Thomas F. Walsh of Colorado deliver ed the annual address on "Humanitar- ian Aspect of Irrigation"
 He spoke of the great benefits to the poor classes that would come from government irrigation in providing homes for them. He said the tendency of the times was for people to gather in the country in communities made up of small farmers rather than in cities as formerly. Then followed series of addresses by prominent members of the congressional convention, among them Congressman Shafroth of Colorado.
 He spoke in general terms of the vast possibilities of the west under ir- rigatiOn. paying a glowing tribute to Galusha Grow of Pennsylvania, the man who was the father of the home stead act in 1861, and who also voted for the irrigation act in 1902, to Sena- tor Carey of Wyoming, who started and continued the fight for arid lands, to George H.

Philadelphia, October 6.-President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America paid a mysterious visit to this city today and after remaining here about six hours returned tC Wilkesbarre. MT. Mitchell arrived here unattended, and no person met him at the station. He met Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor it is learned, but all efforts to locate MT. Wright have proved futile.
 As MT. Mitchell was about to leave for Wilkesbarre he was asked if he had met the emissary from the. presi- dent CT if he had received any com munication from President Roosevelt He declined to answer all queries ex- cepting those referring to the situa- tion in the coal region, which he said was unchanged.

have frozen bucket of water thrown

site me sat a blase young man with a
monocle at his eye and chronic sheer
on his lip. Farther along sat two men
typical of the street. One thin, dark.
long nose and low forehead, with eyes
glued to his paper, and frowning as II
looking at his own print. The other, OF
light and rudy skin, was short and
stout and carried his credentials IN

further introduction. Other people
were in the car, but none seemed good
enough to be admired or bad enough to
be interesting, and l returned again to
my book.
At Blank street the car stopped and
the conductor waited an extra second
to pull the bell strap. Looking up to
see who was receiving such unheard of
thoughtfulness 1 saw coming toward
the empty space in the middle of the
car a man and woman, the former car

braces. The poor little thing could not

city, with the child across his knee and
the brace resting on the mothers lap.
A beautiful child it was, with great
brown, gentle eyes, long lashes and
sweet expression of patient suffering on
it's childish face.
They bore the look of refined and
"gentlefolk," but the outward signs,
such as a big faded umbrella, and
clothes fashioned not after the latest
styles indicated they were not of the
monied class. The mothers face was
intellectual and the faded crushed rose
peeping over the black hat seemed to
say, You need not mind these people,

been?" The father assumed an air of

that the jolts of the car would not hurt

bill has the support of many physicians,
the temperance organizations and those
who look upon dipsomania as a dis
ease.
The proposed law seems to do more
credit to the hearts of it's supporters
than to their heads. While drunken
ess is largely conceded to be a disease,
there are many who look upon it as
more akin to crime. 1t deserves pun-
ishment as much as treatment, and
while the Incarceration in drunkards
hospital might be severe penalty to
the better class of dipsomaniacs, to
many the commitment would bring no
chastisement beyond the deprivation of
drink. The beds would be softer and
the meals better than those earned by
their wives at the washtub. A strict
enforcement of the law proposed would
fill to overflowine; with this worthless
class of drunkards a hospital larger
than any asylum now owned by the
state Of Iowa. There is criminal class
of inebriates as well as a class of un-
fortunates, and IL is scarcely the duty
of the state to support them in idleness
in order to retire them from circulation
as drunkards.
This bill should go further. 1t should
provide for a sentence at hard labor
upon breach of parole. Wages should
be fixed at reasonable figure and the
prisoner. so long as physically able,
should be forced to earn this stipend,
which after the proper reduction for
board should be paid to his family.
Lacking connections of this kind, his
earnings should be placed to his credit
to be paid six months after his release
and subsequent abstinence from liquor.
There is no reason why this class of
idle drunkards should be coddled and
cured at state expense when the refor-
nation from drink and idleness might
both be effected at the same time and
the patient obliged to bear the burden
of his own and his family's support
while the reforming process is In oper-
alton. The salient point to be grasped
in the reformation OF drunkard is to
keep him and whisky apart, and while
the plan outlined above might not make
a first class citizen from the drunken
wretch who beats his wife and neglects
his children 1t would force him to the
first duty every husband and father
owes his family and the state. The
highways of the state furnish an ex-
cellent field for the employment of this
labor. This is the class at which this
law seems aimed and at any rate the
only class upon which it would become
operative. The inebriate who supports
his family, who keeps off the street
when intoxicated and is respectable in
other respects than the one is rarely
before police courts and would be in
little danger from commitment to the
proposed hospital.
