CHEERING NEWS TO PUBLIC
A Competent Authority Predicts the
Price of Coal Will be Normal
Early in December.

Washington, Oct. 15.-An authority
who knows the conditions of the coal
industry of the country predicts that
the price of coal will fall by the early
part of December to the price that pre-
vailed before the coal strike began.
Bear in mind" said this authority,
that l do not suppose that people can
get all they want by that time, for they
cannot. 1t would be a physical impossi-
bility. But it is probable coal will be
quoted at the normal figure about that
time. Enough coal to IN all the de-
mands cannot be taken out of the mines
in such a short period, but if the miners
return to work Immediately, | see no
reason why all the coal wanted through
out the country cannot be supplied by
about the middle of February. If the
miners should determine to work by
next Monday they can get out Oh the
mines in the neighborhood of al 900 to
so. 900 tons a day during that week.
Within two weeks they should be able
to put out approximately $4,000 IONS a
day, and within six weeks the output
should approximate 100000 tons.

IMPORTANT CASE IN COURT.
Constitutionality of Legal Tender
Provisions Of Bland-Allison Act
Involved in Court Case.

Washington, Oct. 15.-An important
case, which raises a question of the on
stitutionality of the legal tender provi-
sions of the Bland-Allison act of 1878,
was submitted without argument in the
United States supreme court today. The
case originated in Michigan in 1897.
Stephen Baldwin was indebted to Frank
A. Baker in the extent of 1864, and in
payment rendered 364 silver dollars.
Baker refused to accept silver, alleging
it was not legal money. Baldwin
brought suit in the state courts of
Michigan to compel acceptance. and
those courts sustained his contention.
Baker brought the case to the supreme
court on a writ of error.

STATUTORY LAW MUST RULE.
New York's Governor Says Lawless-
ness of Whatever Kind Must be
Suppressed by Executive.

New York, Oct. 14.-Governor Odell
tonight opened the Republican cam
paign in Brooklyn by making a nun
Der of speeches. Early in the evening
he attended a dinner given in his hon.
or to the Union League club of Brook
Ign, at which Senator Depew was n
of the speakers. The governor was
then driven to the Academy, where he
opened a Hebrew fair. After this Odell
was taken to the rooms of the Brooklyn
Young Mems Republican club and
thence to Claremont rink, where he
made the principal address Of the night.
The greater part of the governors
speech was devoted to state affairs strict
ly. Speaking of combines, the governor
said: Combinations Of capital which
marked the commercial progress of
country have been accompanied by COM
binations of labor. AS long as both pur-
sue their business within the limits of
constitutional and statutory law they
are entitled to the protection of the
state and the strong arm of the govern
ment. Violations, whether they be
through artificial enhancement of
prices; whether they be in direction of
curtailment of production; whether
they be by interference with the rights
OF individual workingmen, or whatever
form such lawlessness may take, should
be promptly met and suppressed by the
power vested in executive branches of
| the government. The rights of the peo-
pie are paramount. Whenever conflicts
of capital and labor threaten not only
the prosperity but also the physical
comfort and welfare of the people, it
then becomes the duty of those who
represent the commonwealth, which
has given to n the charter right for
existence, and to both labor and capital
it's guarantee Of protection, to step in
and endeavor to adjust such differ
ences. Broad American principles are
teaching the youth to respect his coun-
try and flag, which will lead him to be-
lieve the laws Of his country are made
for the good of all and founded upon
principles upon which all should rely,
because so soon as there is shown dis
respect or envy of success, just so soon
a government like ours must fail and
anarchy and disorder must result"

Toilet of a Lady Ant.

A naturalist has been making obser-
vations on the toilets of certain ants.
and has discovered each insect goes
through most elaborate additions.
They are not only performed by her
self, but by another, who acts for tho
time as lady's maid. The assistant
starts by washing the face of her COM
panion, and then goes over the whole
body. The attitude of the ant that is
being washed is one of intense satisfac-
ton. She lies down with all her limbs
stretched loosely out; she rolls over on
her side, even her back, a perfect pic
ture of ease. The pleasure the little in
sect evinces being thus combed and
sponged is really enjoyable to the OBJ
server.-London Express.

A Bargain,

In a certain store on Broadway there
was a collection of cheap, scarf pins in
the window, and above the pins a sign
which read.
1.-TWO of these for ST."

store, and said:
"Is that sign right-two pins for SIP"
ooh! that's an awful mistake ex-
claimed the clerk; those pins sell for
81 each, but as a mistake has been
made and you have called our attention
to ii in time we will let you have two
for ST."
The man thought he had a great har-
gain, laid down the 81 and took two

window. 1t was there every day during
the week. There are tricks in all

Thomas King and several others.
The explosion occurred just before
the day force of 100 men went off duty,
and was caused by an ~overcharge in a
blast, the conclusion causing the coal
dust, which thickly o%verhung the mine,
to explode with great force.
Some idea of the force of the explo-
sion can be learned from the fact that
all those killed anu injured were about
1000 feet from the place where the shot
was fired. Isaacs was hurled against
the entry wall with such force that his
head was smashed beyond recognition.
