Old Moon Beliefs.

The health, growth and development
of children and animals were years ago
supposed to be influenced by the moon.
If the sign was right at the time of
birth, they would be well formed and
intellectual, but if it was wrong there
was no telling what sort of creatures
they would become. Every worthless
fellow. every dog. roofing hog, fence
jumping COW or kicking horse was be-
lieyed to have been born under an I'M
favorable phase of the queen Of night.
Queer people or those who were of
hateful disposition were children of
the dark moon, with the sign below the

Dear Sirs: You know all about shoes
How many customers have you who
know anything about 'em?
You have bought and sold shoes for
years, and have learned what you know
by your customers liking one sort, and
not liking another. They find out by
wearing 'em.
SO with paint; but we go deeper. We
are Ids years old in the business; and we
make, not buy-we make a good deal of
paint
We pant good share of the railroad
and steamer property in the United

Devoe lead and zinc is your paint.
Costs half as much as lead and OIL be
cause it wears twice as long.

report from Philadelphia that John Mitch

of America, had been in conference at the
Hotel Walton in, that city with represen-
tative Of the operators and J. P. Morgan.
cit Is not true said Mr.. Markle, s.for
If a representative of the operators and

nothing Of the kind
The coal situation in New York is to-
day more serious than at any time since

gan. Instead Of 100000 tons usually in
stock at this time of the year, there are
but 1000 tons of hard coal. In tenement
districts the price is rs cents a bushel,
which Is at the rate Of $25 ton. Dealers
In other parts Of the city who yesterday
were selling half tons, to-day cut the al

Neto HoTH San SPECIAL Se7'v5oS = --------- ~
London, Sept. 3O.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach in his first speech since he resigned
the chancellorship of the exchequer Sc
verify attacked the British war office. He
told his constituents at Bristol that the
war office would never be reformed until
it made the great mass Of military officers
pay more attention to the duties Of their
profession as naval officers did and re-
moved the outside influences, which inter-
fered with selections and prornitions. He
urged the country to halt the growing ma
tional expenditure which had increased at
the rate Of e5,500,000 yearly during the
last five years. Fresh taxation would be
necessary and on some future day advers-
ity might find the British without the ac-
cumulated wealth which enabled them to
bear the strain Of the late war. The rela-
lions with the colonies, Sir Michael added,
should be based not on sentiment, but on
mutual respect.

clzes without reserve conditions which
surrounded the landing of immigrants at
Ellis island during the ten months pre-
Vious to the change Of administrative ton
there, due to Mr.. Williams appointment.
He says in the report: y. zs4-
1.-THE chief inspector was allowed to
arbitrarily mark the word hold against
the name of any immigrant on the mani
fest, this causing to be brought to him
certain picked people to be disposed of as
he thought best, instead of allowing them
to be inspected in the regular way. The
fact that most Of these SO marked are
shown to have had fair amounts Of money
and that many marked were able
bodied people with very large amounts Of
money, are points not without interest.
The power, first, to detain these people
without reason, and, second, to direct
them to boarding houses where they paid
full value for all they received will be ap-
preciated when it is remembered that
from May, 1901, to May, 1902, 463,541
immigrants exhibited $6,556,SS0 as they
passed through. this station; and had prob
ably a great deal more that they did not
exhibit ~ rs,
the habit of themselves passing upon
cases Of immigrants detained for special
inquiry, bringing the immigrants over to
the detention room. discharging them, or
putting them back, according to their
whims. The resulting power of blackmail
and of exerting other improper influences
involved in this practice will be readily
seem" @=a-r u
The commissioner says he could cite
numerous other instances Of abuse and
lack of system; that the immigrants were
roughly handled and addressed in rough
language by government and railroad Off
Gals; that the detention ''pens" were
filthy, particularly the dining-room,
where, the report says, the immigrants
were fed without knives forks or spoons:
that railroad and other passes used to be
demanded to a demoralizing extent; that
'.ships after ships brought in cases Of
favas (scalp disease) and trachoma (eye
disease) both dangerous contagious dis
cases unknown in this country until inn
ported in recent years from Europe. Is
The commissioner says the constantly
deteriorating quality of the recent inmi-
grafton calls for the execution Of the law
in the most stringent manner, and he
states that last year over 1000 aliens
who had arrived within the year became
destitute in New York. 81

Troops In Panther Creek Valley.

Tamaqua, Pa, Sept. 30.-After a lapse
Of several: days, troops were again sent
through the Panther Creek valley this
morning. This action was taken because
the turbulent element has been acting in
boisterous manner in their effort to in
timidate non-unionists on their way to
work: The presence Of the soldiers had
a quieting effect and although strikers
pickets were out in force, there was no
disturbance. It is asserted that the dis
tribution Of relief funds is far too small
to meet the demand made. During the
past few days twenty seven extra brake
men have been hired for the Shamokin d.
vision Of the Phila delphia & Reading.
Strike leaders claim that the reason the
company Is hiring so many men is in or
der to be prepared n case some Of their
crews refuse to handle hard coal Rail
road officials say the extra force is being
hired becarse the company expects the
coal traffic gradually to increase

Desperate Attempt of Chicago Dealers to

Desperate Attempt of Chicago Dealers to
Get Soft Coal.
Louisville, Sept. 30.-Most of the coal
dealers were surprised to-day when they
received notice that an advance of %
cents ton on all river coal would go into
effect Immediately. This notice came from
the Moncngahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke company, which Is the official
title. Of the Pittsburg coal trust. Chicago
coal merchants during the past few weeks
have been receiving orders for thousands
of tons more of soft coal than they ever
before got at this time Of year in that
city, So they have been putting forth
desperate efforts to meet this unpre-
cedented demand. They soon found out
that 1t was impossible for them to secure
a sufficient amount Of this coal by wait
ing on orders put in at the mines. The
scheme of buying up the stocks of river
coal stored up at Cincinnati and Louisville
then presented itself and was promptly
adopted. Last week before the coal COM
bine realized what the Chicago merchants
were up to, big purchases were made in
Cincinnati. For several days they loaded
upwards ,75 carloads a day at the Gin
cinnati water front and shipped it on to
