CONFERRED ABOUT COAL.
Mayor Low and Railroad Presidents
Had Meeting.

New York, Jan. 19.-Mayor Low and
representatives of the coal carrying
railroads held a conference to-day to
discuss the coal situation in the five
boroughs of Greater New York. The
railroad presidents present were George
F. Baer of the Reading, F. D. Under
wood of the Erie, Fowler of the Ontario
and Western and Thomas of the Lee
high Valley. John B. Markle repre-
sented the independent operators.
President Baer read a statement de-
scribing the position of the coal roads.
He maintained that the roads were do
ing all possible to relieve the situa-
ton.
The situation was full of difficulties
and the failure of miners to work dur
ing the holidays had reduced the out
put, and the price had been unduly
advanced by the smaller companies and
individual operators.
Mr. Baer said his companies would
continue to sell at S. a ton. They could
not ship all their coal to New York,
because New Jersey, Baltimore, Wash
lngton and New England had equal
claims.

Election mt washington.

Washington, Ga, Jan. 13.-It was ex-
pected that yesterdays election FOR
Mayor and councilmen of Washington
would be very quiet one, but early
in the day the negro was made a
factor and much feeling was developed.
The names of the former Mayor and
councilmen had been put before the
public, and it was generally conceded
that there would be little opposition,
but the effort to bring the negro to
the polls aroused a good deal of oppo-
sition to two or more of the old board.
The following ticket was named: May
or, ]. r. Dyson; councilmen, S. III.

Pharr. p. j. Smith, II. d. Arnold and

Philadelphia, Jan. 13-Various ru-
mors have been set afioat in connec-
ton with the proposed Eastern Securi-

ter for which was filed at the State
Department at Harrisburg to-day
Owing to the fact that some of the in
corporatorS are connected with the
Berwind-White Coal Company, it was
concluded that this was the first for
NAL, step in bringing together the in
dependent coal operators into a more
compact and easily handled body. Ed
ward D. Chase, one of the incorpor-
ators and secretary of the Berwind-
White companies, ridiculed this idea
to-day, and while not prepared to
speak definitely of the company's plans
or who were the real promoters, said:
1T is very innocent concern. We
don't know as yet what we will do.
Our capital will be $4,000, and we
have no intention of increasing it. The

PEOPLE WHO APPEAR OLD.
How They May Preserve the Buoy-
ancs and Freshness of Youth.

How They May Preserve the Buoy-
ancs and Freshness of Youth.
People who appear old must expect
for positions with every appearance
that senllity has struck them and that
they have gone TO seed, they cannot
expect favorable consideration. If gray
haired applicants for positions would
only appreciate the value of appear
ances and would brace UP" when they
seek situations go well groomed'
and well dressed, with elastic steps,
showing that they still possess fire,
force and cnthuslasm-the would
eliminate an obstacle greater than
their gray hairs.
We think ourselves into incapacity
by looking for signs of age and dwell
Ing on them, and the body follows the
thought. We should, therefore, avoid
the appearance of age in every posi-
bic way by dress, carriage, conversa-
ton and especially by our attitude to-
ward people and things. 1t IL not DIM
cult to preserve the Duoyancy md
freshness of youth, but II must be done
by constant effort and practice. A mu-
slcian who expects TO make only one or
two important appearances year
must keep up his practice. Youthful
ness cannot be put on for day If old
age has had grip on you for months.
II Is important 10 preserve the fire OF
youth as long as possible. to carry
freshness and vigor into old age by
keeping up II hearty interest in every
thing that interests youth. Many of
us seem TO think that youthful sports
and pastimes are foolish, and before
we know it we get entirely out of sym
patty with all young life, and conse
quently really old, whatever our years.
We must think youthful thoughts, as
sociate with young people and interest
them. When Il person ceases to inter
est the young he may be sure that he
Is showing signs Of old age.-Succcss

CLOSE OBSERVERS.
saVRges Note Things to which Civil
liked Eyes Are Blind.

Savages are supposed 10 have keener
senses, especially n keener sense OF
sight, than civilized races. The author
of Idle Days In Patagonia" does not
accept this theory. He believes that
savages have no koener senses, but
that they pay closer attention to what
comes within the range of their percep-
ton. AS an Instance of quick response
to an impression he tells the following
story:
On March l., 1861. company of
hunters We're camping beside grove
of willows in Patagonia. About o
o'clock that evening, while they We're
seated round the fire roasting their os-
trich meat, Sosa suddenly sprang to his
feet and held his open hand high above
his head for some moments.

again, remarking that the trembling
had ceased. but during the rest of the
evening he was very much disturbed In
his mind. He remarked repeatedly that
such a thing had never happened III his
experience before, for, he said, he could
feel breath of wind before the leaves
felt 1t, and there had been no wind. He
feared that II was warning of some
disaster about to oyertake their party
The disaster was not for them. On
that evening occurred the earthquake
which destroyed the distant city Of
Mendoza and crushed 1900 people 10

The employment of children in mills
and mines Is bad enough Mt any age,
but when there Is no restriction 1t Of
ten results In cruelty. Instances of this
fact were given in II speech deliv-
cred recently by Lieutenant Governor
Guild of Massachusetts before the New
England Cotton Manufacturers asso-
citation. He told Of the employment in
southern mills of children of ten years
Of age, ana even younger Mt both night
and day work.
There Is no law on the subject in
nearly all of the SOUTH hence very
young children are employed long
hours on both night and day work. 1t
Is difficult Ia believe that such little
children can keep awake ut nights 10
serve Ia cotton mills; but, hired out by
their parents and watched by BOSSES
they serve these long hours FOR very
small pay.
As Lieutenant Governor Guild re
marked, there Is no need of anything
OF the kind. There Is only one northern
stnte that permits the employment Of
such young children. and that state IL
Vermont, But II has law which re-
stricts the employment of children TO
those over ten years, while In southern
mills they are employed when under
ten years of age. Massachusetts re
stricts the age to fourteen and the
hours of employment To iifty-eight per
week, Connecticut 10 fourteen years
and sixty hours employment and
Rhode Island 10 twelve years and tifty-
eight hours. Other states not engaged
to any great extent In cotton manufac-
turing also limit the hours for children

TRUCK DRIVER AND HORSE.
How Friendly Understanding De-
Neloped between Them.


The friendly relations which often
exist between truck drivers and their
horses is shown in the story Of Chief
tain, one of the tales in Horses Nine"
by Sewell Ford. Tim Doyle, the driv
er, having been left alone In the world
takes up lodgings IN the stable. The
story runs thus: So for three years or
more Chieftain had always had good
night pat on the flank from Tim, and
in the morning after the eurrylng and
rubbing, they had little friendly ban
ter in the way of love slaps from Tim
and good natured noslngs from Chief
tain. Perhaps many Of Tins cont
dences were given half In Jest, and per.
haps Chieftain sometimes thought that
Tim was n bit slow In perceptions; but,
all in all, each understood the other
even better than either realized.
or course Chieftain could not tell
Tim of all those vague longings which
had TO do with new grass and springy
turf, nor could he know that Tim had
shnilar lodgings. These thoughts each
kept to himself But II Chieftain was

riedly, In youth, and for them In the
lapses of the daily grind both yearned
each after his own fashion.
And each In his way, Tin and Chief.
