the various cities will be cautioned that

WOMAN MURDERED.


NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-The body Of Mrs
Isabella Allen. of White Plains. was found
in a clump of bushes near her home to-
day. She had evidently been murdered, for
her head was battered in and badly mutt
lated. She was last seen alive yesterday.

ing out. She did this yesterday, leaving
her work after dark. She had come to
within three hundred feet of her home on
a lonely road, when she was attacked The
body lay in the bushes all night and all this
morning before being discovered though
the authorities, led by her husband, made
a search. The theory OF the police is that
she was criminally assaulted, murdered
and then robbed.

AMERICAN WOMEN DENTISTS.
The First to Adopt the Profession
Was q Jewess.
from the New Orleans Times.Dcmocrat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"Women have u special aptitude for
dentistry, and it Is u profession that is
admirably suited to them, in many re-
spects," said n dentist yesterday. 10Th
er countries have recognized this fact
much more generally than ours. and
Germany, Sweden and eve Russia
have many women dentists.
THE first woma In this country to
adopt the profession was a Jewess, who
studied In the University of Maryland.
The diploma was withheld, however,
because she was a woman. The first
woman to receive a diploma in dentis-
try was q Miss Mairsel, who was a
graduate of the Ohio Dental college in
1860. The second was Nine. Hirsch-
field, who was graduated from the
Pennsylvania Dental college in 1869,
and afterward went to Berlin, where
she was made court dentist, and had
the care of the teeth Of the royal chill
dren.
'There are now nearly five hundred
women dentists in the United States,
and they receive exactly as much pay
for their work as men do. The qualif-
cations for success In dentistry are a
good education, cultivated brain, tact,
patience and gentleness. and a thor
ough control Of the nerves The last
quality Is as likely to be possessed by
women as men. as II Is wholly a mat
ter OF temperament"

NEW USE FOR THE PHONE.
You Can Talk with Whom You
Please While Travelling.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the New York Sun.
There was conversation by telephone
Saturday afternoon between a railroad
train in Chicago and a Broadway Of
flee. The train was the Overland Linn
tied Of the Chicago & Northwestern
line, standing in the Chicago station of
the railroad, and from the observa-
ton car of the train w. 3. Kniskern,
the general passenger agent of the
road, talked with Henry A. Gross, the
roads general eastern agent, at his Of
flee at 461 Broadway and to several re-
porters for the New York newspapers.
The Overland Limited Is declared to
be the fastest long distance train in
the world, and ans daily from Chicago
and San Francisco, making the dis
lance in 2 days 81 hours and 25 min
utes. The company has just had built
an entire new equipment for the train,
costing 81, 900 and bringing it up to
the highest standard Of luxurious
American railroad trains, and has gone
one better than any other of the many
flint trains which traverse this country
in supplying the observation car with a
telephone.
The telephone installment in the car

connected with the Central Office Of
whatever district or city the rain is
in by mean Of a cable attached to a
tripod in the roof of the car. The
trains schedule being known, the tele-
phone companies will detail an opera
tor to attend it's calls on time at all
stations, and so soon as the train stops
at a station the cable with which that
station is equipped will be connected at
the tripod on the car roof by a station
attendant, and the operator in the car
will be instantly in communication
with the local Central without nav
ing to "call her up"
At the terminals. Chicago and San
Francisco, the train will be in readl-
ness for passengers forty-five minutes
before LAYING time. and the idea is to
give persons who have forgotten
things which they wished to do, or have
left them undone fearing they might
not reach the train in time If any more
pauses We're made, ample opportunity
to settle themselves for their journey
and then transact from the observa-
ton car any further business which
the telephone will enable them to do.
En- route, messages may be sent from
one station to friends to call up the
train at the next station, etc. On these
long trans-continental journeys the
stops at some important points are
much longer than the usual stops in
this neighborhood, ten minutes at Ced-
ar Rapids. twenty minutes at Omaha,
thirty-ive minutes at Ogden, etc.
1t is the intention to extend the SER
vice as soon as may be, and have tel
ephonic connections throughout the
train, SO that a passenger in a compart-
ment may communicate with the lib
rary or smoking car.

This and That.

Tho Baldwin Locomotive works. of
Philadelphia, Pa, Is about to ship
twelve locomotives to Freemantle for
the West Australian Government rail-
ways.
The moulders of the Hazleton Iron
works have been N strike since last
December. Nothing has vet been done
for bringing about u settlement Of the
strike.
Good progress is now being made On
the tunnel OF the Wilkes-Barre &
Hazleton Railway company, through
the C%onyngham mountain. The solid
rock encountered at first has been
succeeded by yellow shale, which is
much easier to excavate and as a
consequence the work is going ahead
much faster.
Andrew Maloney, Of Philadelphia,
who conducted the negotiations for
the sale of the Hazleton Gas plant tn
Wilkes-Barre capitalists, is this week
making an effort to buy out the Ma
hanoy City Gas company and the
Mahonoy City Heat, Light and Power
company. He is supposed to repre-
sent the Philadelphia Gas company.
Mr.. Maloney refuses to say in whose
interest he Is making the offer.--Hazle-
ton Plain Speaker.

Age Limit Is Extended.

The pension board appointed to adj
minister the affairs of the pension sys-
tenn recently inaugurated by the
I.ackawanna railroad, announced yes
terday that the age for compulsory re-
tirement under the new system has
been extended from IS to 10 years.
Employees who are retired at 10 will
be allowed a pension on the sarre
basis and percentages as already pro-
vided for the G5 year limit. The age
limit for optional retirement under the
sanction Of the pension board has also
been extended from 60 to 60 years, in-
elusive, instead Of 60 to 81 years. That
is, all employees at 20 will be regarded
as having attained the maximum age
for active service and will be entitled
to honorable retirement and a PEN
sion, provided they have been with
the company for twenty-five or more
years, while those whose ages range
from 60 to GO years, inclusive, and VINO
have served the company twenty-five
years or more, may be retired and
%pensioned, if in the judgment Of the
pension board they are incapacitated
for further service.
THE, changes We're made both in
the interest Of the men and Of the
SERVICE" said a member of the PEN
sion board yesterday. I'VE believe
that in extending the compulsory age
limit and at the same time increas-
ing the period Of optional retirement,
we have perfected an arrangement
that will best serve the varied re.
quirements of all interests concerned"
The rules and regulations Of the
pension board have been issued in
printed form ard distributed among
all employees.
The date upon which the pension
system is to become effective has been
fixed as June LIST. 1902.

INDUSTRIAL
and LABOR
CONDITION OF THE ANTHRA-
CITE COAL TRADE.
The Total Demand Is Sufficient to
Take All Of the Coal Produced.
Lackawanna Pension Board Has
Decided to Increase the Age for
Compulsory Retirement from e5 to
70 Years-The Board for Today.
Increase of Wages for Finch Men.
Notes from Many Sources.

The condition of the anthracite
.oal trade shows that spring has ar
rived. The new price lists have not
been out long enough to show what
effect they will have on buying. though
a large amount of coal is going for
ward, particularly to buyers along the
Atlantic seaboard. 1t is believed that
there will be no general strike ut the
mines. The published u~tterances of
John Mitchell, president Of the United
Mine Workers, show q conservative
and conciliatory attitude, and IL u
strike should come, 1t will be due to
the influence Of one or two Of the dis
trict presidents in the Wyoming n
Lackawanna regions. The discount of
SO cents per ton for April buying, 1t
seems, was due to the general convic-
ton of the operators that it was bet
ter to issue spring price lists and
take the chances OF a strike than to
seek to maintain prices at winter level
for another month.
Much has been written recently
about the action OF the Reading in
cutting off discounts to jobbers along
its lines. This action did not excite
surprise among those in III Trade who
understand the situation, since n of
the avowed objects of the community
Of interests is to do away with the
middlemen as far as convenient II
bring consumer and producer in closer
touch. 1t is not unlikely that other
anthracite roads will follow the Read
ing's lead, though there will probably
be no abrupt general changes, and
the central selling agency plan for
for large centers like New York is still
in embryo.
At the head of the lakes. the market
shows little activity, but the pros
poets favor more active ordering with
the opening of navigation than was
the case last year. In Chicago terri
tory, likewise, the opening Of navi-
cation will see rather more ordering
than a year ago. The total demand
from all consuming territories is suf-
1icient to take all the coal produced,
and aside from the inducement of the
April discount, there is probably some
buying from a fear that after all there
ma be a strike at the mines by May
j. Production is still below what it
might have been, but for the winters
floods. A number Of mines will not be
able to get on a normal tonnage for
sone time yet, particularly in the
Lehigh notwithstanding and Min
ing Journal.

KING WAR; DESCENT.


From the Denver Times.
King Edward VII can claim descent through
fifteen Of the thirty.fve monarchs who have pre-
ceded him on the English throne, from Alfred
the Great and Egbert, the first king OF England,
and further back still from the empcrors OF Rome,
and even from the Hebrew house of David. New.
c~rtheless it is a fact that King Edward owes his
crown to a horses shoe. The act OF settlement,
by which in 1901, parliament elected the house
OF Hanover to the British throne, was passed by
only one vote. And this winning vote was cast
by Sir Arthur Owen, NJ. r.. for Pembrokcsnire,
who rode ~posthaste from Wales for the purpose.
