Coal OUTPUT in 1901,

According to returns to the United
States Geological Survey from producers,
representing fully 81 per cent OF the en-
tire coal output OF the United States.
the production in 1901 amounted TO 292,-
24O,76s. short tons, valued at s3is. .S1s, ,S3l.
AS compared with 1900, when the out put
amounted to 269. ssl.S27 short tons worth

vania anthracite showed a phenomenal
increase. from 81 .22l .353 long tons, (equiva-
lent to 57.367.9l5 short tons) In 1900 TO
6o.242, $50 long tons. or 67.47l, 667 short tons.
In 1901. This represented a gain OF f7Ia
per cent. the largest percentage OF gain
made by the anthracite trade in twenty
years. Part OF this increase IN 1901 was
due to "a decreased output of anthracite
in 1900 as compared with 1899 as owing
to the historic strike OF 1900 the output
that year was reduced by over 2,5O0.o00
long tons. The production last year
shows an increase over 1899 OF 6297 yl3
long tons, and except for the strike of
1900 would have shown an increase over
that year OF 100000 long tons, or about
half the actual increase made.

the amount received at the mines last
year showing a gain of $27. .746 169, or more
than 81 per cent over that of 1900 This
was entirely due TO the unprecedented
period OF prosperity which enabled con-
sumers generally to pay higher prices for
their fuel. The average price for the
marketed anthracite coal-that is, the
product shipped TO market or sold 10 local
trade, and exclusive of the colliery con-
sumption, which amounted 10 about 10
per cent OF the total-was $2.05, the high
est figure obtained since 1888
The production of bltuminous coal. lg-
mite. camel coal, etc. including a small
amount of anthracite from Colorado and
New Mexico. increased from 212,5l3. 9l2

THE fact that the superintendent Is

by the school committee, that the school
year shall begin In September. A super

After a good deal Of uncertainty the
political situation in Vermont has be-
come clearer. There was much talk
after the Republican convention about
what the friends OF Candidate Clement
who was beaten for the nomination
would DO. His friends left the conven-
ton In angry mood becouse of union
between two other candidates which
gave one of the candidates the nomina-
ton for the governorship and assured
the father OF the other candidate a re-
election TO the United States senate. IL
was after a time announced that Gle
ment would not run independently. Now
the statement is made that he is in the
fight until the polls close next Novem-
ber. The Republican platform indicated
a change in the party sentiment in re-
gard TO prohibition and Candidate Gle
rnent goes further and declares for local
option. There are few Democrats in
Vermont but the fight Will be interest
ing nevertheless.

While the ordinary newspaper article Is
not TO be classed as literature, yet the
construction OF It's sentences and the ar
fangement or Its words are grammatically
correct. And not only are these articles
wlthln the reach OF the multitude, but
they are read by the vast majority.
Doubtless there Is an Improvement In the
forms OF speech now used over those or
an earlier generation, yet the difference

Just why the little boy who said that
the type OF as large class today as

strange. The force OF early illiterate en-
vironment. Il would seem, should yield to
more learned surroundings.
Perhaps one reason for the longevity OF
ngrammatical usage is that there are
as hard and fast rules for speech that Is
incorrect as for that which comes from
the lips OF the purist They are rules to
be followed In spite OF the fact that they
have never been formulated even in ira
