That Coal Advance.

1t is evident from the comment of
some Indiana bituminous coal operat-
ors that they did not intend that the
proposed advance in the price of coal
at the mines ON August 1 should be
made public. The Indiana operators
do not want the impression to get
abroad that the increased demand is
due to the Pennsylvania strike, and
that they are supplying coal to the
anthracite market.
The Terre Haute retail coal dealers,
who are in close touch with the In
diana field, knew what was coming,
and at a meeting decided to advance
the retail price August l or soon
thereafter. The operators say that,
while steam making bituminous coal
has been higher during May. June
and July than it was in the same
months last year, last seasons price
was exceptionally low, and the operat-
ors made no money at the summer
prices. The increased demand for
the coal for the far northwest market
caused the advance August 1, instead
of September /, as usual.
In the block coal field Of Clay coun-
ty there is prosperity, for the reason
that many persons that ordinarily de-
pend on anthracite coal are going to
use block this winter. Last winter
block coal at the mines went to %.
In all probability it will go to 1925
this winter.

There was time, not so many years
ago, when frame buildings were the
rule in San Francisco and other Cali
fornia towns, they being considered
safer in case of earthquakes. In
recent years earthquake shocks have
been so frequent and so slight that
security has been established and
brick structures are common. The
experience Thursday at Los AlamoS,
when only frame buildings were left
standing after the earth's upheaval,
shows that the early settlers were
wise in their action, and will re-estab-
lish preference for wood as building
material.

A Good Society.

The Chicago Excelsior says that
some societies are better than others
One of the good ones was organized
in New York about two years ago to
instruct the children in the tenement
districts in the care Of domestic ami
mails. Already it has twenty-five
chapters in that city, the members Of
which attend meetings where they
talk about animals, and tell how they
have helped those In distress. II
there were more such societies, the
work of the organizations of adults
for the prevention Of cruelty would be
considerably decreased.

The democrats of Michigan have
placed in nomination Judge George
H. Durand, of Flint, for governor, a
goldite of good repute, but who is very
distasteful to the strong silver ele-

were wholly ignored in the making up
of the ticket and in building the
platform. They are not at all pleased
with the manner in which they were
treated and there does not seem TO be
very much harmony on tap.

Honest Accommodation Demanded.

The day of the corrupt, dishonest
and incompetent public official has
passed in the administration of public
Affairs. That political party that is
entrusted with the management of po-
litical affairs, municipal, county or
state, must manage said affairs in an
economical and business-like way or
they win hear from the people. The

by a just and impartial enforcement
Of the statutes, by clean and able en-

Honolulu, December "a, 1902.
My Dear Santa Claus have never
written you letter before, so
thought I would write one now to ask
you IL all the stories I hear about you
are true. Why some say that. you
tried an automobile last year, and got
stuck in the snow which made you
late!
Now, Santa, I want to ask you a
question. Why don't you try flying
machine? I think you could make
good time on one. Well, never mind,
next Christmas you can come down
here by cable.
Now, If you know what I want for
Christmas, you know more about it
than I do. Give me whatever you
think is best.
Wishing you very merry Christmas
and happy New Year, I remain,
Lovingly yours,

! SiIvertown Sailor
Cuts Queer
Capers.

A drunken sailor from the cable
ship Silvertown cut some queer capers
at the Johnson Hotel on Punchbowl
street early Saturday morning. The
sailor visited the house about o'clock
in the morning and visited nearly
every room in the building to which
his access was not barred by lock and
key. Finally he found an empty room
to his liking, and, going out on the
front lanai, carefully Invested himself
OF every stitch of his clothing, hanging
it upon the rail outside the house, and
then retired. A few hours later he
was discovered by w. H. Johnson
calmly sleeping in the best bed in the
house, and he was somewhat fright
ened by the sudden awakening. He
made profuse apologies, saying he
must have got into the wrong house,
and offered to pay whatever damage
vas assessed. The mans clothes were
returned to him, however, and he was
allowed to depart in peace, though the
lady inmates of the house were badly
frightened.

A WHOLESOME INDIANA DECISION.

jurisdiction are conspicuous. 1t should be

calculated to repress, 10 wit. the man who

what does is used mostly in the East. He
