COAL PRICES UNCHANGED
What the Engineering and Mining
Journal Says Of the Miners
Strike.

Referring to the strike and it's effect
on the anthracite coal trade, the En-
gineering and Mining Journal of Satur-
day said:
The anthracite miners began to quit work last
Saturday and Monday not n colliery was in opera
tion. A number OF waslcries kept at work. but
their total tonnage of steam sizes is too small to
cut any figure. Anthracite production has
stopped, practically no coal is going forward and
consumers will have to wait. There Is no reason
for the public or for dealers to get unduly cx-
cited, however. Let them remember the unwar-
ranted scare at the start of the 1900 strike That
strike began when winter was approaching and
coal was Il necessity for domestic use. Prices
were rushed up and certain men made money,
but not those who temporarily lost their wits
and paid all sorts Of prices for coal. If strike
should last couple OF months the regular price
would then be 20c. per ton higher than now
and dealers would be that much out but for the
chances that retail prices would advance eonsid.
crably more than 20c. 1t is quite possible that
shut down for two months would advance retail
prices considerably, but the advance would he
less felt by the opening of winter and by late
winter prices might be at last years figures.
As to stocks on hand, these probably larger,
particularly at eastern points, than is generally
supposed. The total shipments from the mines
for April were approximately 1924 $50 tons, hy
far the largest output for that month record,
comparing with 3,6s5,Ol3 tons in April 1901. ihe
consumption of prepared sizes is bound TO he
light until next September, while the supplies
OF steam sizes available for consumers at points
along the scaboard, though not large. are re-
ported sufficient to last longer than some people
think lot of wild talk about a coal famine
may be expected from irresponsible newspapers
with strike on, but the ignorance OF the aver
age newspaper man about anthracite mining and
the anthracite trade is something with which all
men in the trade are familiar.
There Is good demand for coal, aside from
any excitement over the impending strike, in
most consuming territories 1t is strongest in
the east and dmnshes westward. At the head
OF the lakes business has been pretty quiet. In
Chicago territory there has been more activity
but sales have not been as heavy as might have
been expected from last years experience. In
the al.rail trade and along the Atlantic seaboard
dealers have been taking all the coal they could
get Sales agents at New York city since the
miners stopped work, and shipments from the
mines ceased. have declined to take orders for
new business. and are dolng out coal to regular
customers. This does not mean that they Fave
no coal to SELL but Is TO stop spectators from
gobbling available supplies. Prices at the present
writing are nominally unchanged at $3sa for
broken and $40 for egg, stove and nut, I. o, b.

An Epworth league anniversary meet
ing conducted last night in the Provi-
dence Methodist Episcopal church at
tracted large congregation, and an
interesting programme was carried out.
Rev. George A. Cure, the pastor, pre-
sided. and special music was rendered
by the choir. Miss Florence Walker
read an interesting paper, in which she
1ecuunted some of the things done by
the church Epworth league chapter
during the year-of flowers sent into
the homes of the sick and Of the poor:
of burdened souls lightened and of tears
wiped away through the personal eff
forts Of some of the members.
Prof. Henry Kemmerling, of the High
school, gave u brief address on "The
Call of the Church, of Society, of the
State, to Young People"
The professor declared that society is
necessary to government and govern
ment to society, but that religion is the
safeguard of both. In proportion, as
Christianity increases its hold upon the
people, society becomes purer and the
government stronger.
Modern life." he said. "has a tend
ency towards moral degeneracy. Pleas
ure is becoming elevated into a pursuit
and is sought for without regard to its
cost: conscience is being subordinated
to policy and the saloon is all but doml-
nant in the land. It's influence is felt
everywhere and it is unuuestionably
,ur greatest source of corruption. Poll
tics is becoming a trade or a profess
sion. Platforms are adopted merely to
get votes for the machine. and the
political situation generally is at a low
ehb."
The message of the church at this
time the professor said, is the same
old story-the Golden Rule-"Do unto
others as you would that they should
do unto YOU" and Christ's command of
Love thy neighbor as thy SELF
The church needs young people for
its self-preservation, he said but the
young people need the church much
more than it needs them. Christ, he
said, is the only star by which the
human barque can be guided over the
end of the journey.
Rev. Mr.. Cure made a few remarks
in conclusion, referring to the vision of
NJ. Santos Dumont, who expects to see
aerial navigation between this cont-
lent and Europe before he dies. He
told also of the vision of Abraham and
of the vision of Moses, and Of how
these men all sought to bring to pass
the things which they saw in their
dreams.
There isn't Il SOUL" said he, "that
hasn't seen Il heavenly vision. Jesus
Christ is always pictured in our minds
as the perfect man. embodying in His
life all that is best and purest. AS
Santos-Dumont is striving to bring his
vision to pass, so let us also strive to
initiate Him whom we see in our
dreams and to follow out His COM
mandS"

A Womam Came 20 the City Last Eve
nfsg for - 7ime'' But Was sadly
Disappointed.
A woman and little child arrived
In the city last evening on the 5:35
southbound train. The woman we
learned later came in over the
Short Line. and 1t was very evident
to those present when she alighted
from the train. that she had either
been hitting the pipe" or had
come In personal contact with
: John. Bsrieycorn. However 1t was
soon developed that she had been
too intimate with John, and had
enjoyed his generous hospitality to
an unlimited degree. The woman
wandered into the new street east
of the railroad leading from Charles
to Pike streets, where she was
taken into custody by the police
and placed In the City bastile at 7
o'clock. An hour later she was re-
moved to the Moran House on
Water street.
She told conflicting stories while
under the influence of liquor, but
this morHing gave the name of Mrs,
Long, and confessed to His Honor.
DR.. III. @. Meek, to the charge al
ready referred to. The doctor being
of a very sympathetic and consider.
alive nature, as everybody who ever
made his acquaintance Is aware, and
who has doubtless considered seri-
ously the old adage-''aH open con-
fession Is good for the soul"- he
released her after prououncing the
following benediction: go thy
way, lady, and sin no more"
She Is of dark complexion, me.
dunn size and about twenty-five
years of age. The child Is rather
delicate la appearance and about q
year old. The motto that the citi
zens of this city have long since es-
tablished, that of a charitable and
generous people, was clearly dem
onstrated this morning with refer
ence to the subject In question. A
position as domestic was secured
for her In this city and she accept
ell, and she and child now have a
comfortable home, SO to speak.
This act of charity on the part of
those who interested themselves In
the welfare of this unfortunate
woman Is highly commendable.
Had she been turned adrift and left
to the charities of this cold world,
there Is no telling what the result
might have been.
