FIRST BREAK COMES
IN THE PRICE Of GOAL
Buckwheat and Pea Fifty
Cents Below Circular
Price

The first break in anthracite coal
prices has been made. During the
month of August buckwheat and pea
sizes are to be sold at SO cents a ton
below the circular.
Owing to the strike of the mill work.
ers in Philadelphia and the shutting
down of many industrial plants there
has been little demand for the smaller
sizes of anthracite. This has been the
condition for several weeks the result
being a large amount of pea and buck
wheat sizes being left on the hands of
the producing companies
Since the miners returned to work
last autumn, the coal producing COM
panies have maintained the price Of
anthracite coal at so cents a ton above
the circular which was i'm force dur
ing the previous year The demand
for the smaller sizes Is practically
nothing. While the production contin-
ues to be the largest in the history Of
anthracite mining there are very few
orders being given by the dealers and
consumers in this section of the coun-
try. Earlier in the year both the con-
sumner and dealer stocked up so that
at the present time there is no need
for looking after the home market.
on account Of the large output there
is necessarily a greaker amount of pea
and buckwheat sizes. These sizes are
principally used by manufacturers, but
as many mills are shut down there
is no demand for this coal. The Phil
adelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Com
pany which is the largest producer of
anthracite. has in it's various storage
yards about 100000 tons of pea AMI
lbuckwheat sizes This is a greater
amount than it wishes to carry. To
get rid of some of this surplus it has
agreed to let all, including those who
have contracts to have pea coal al
$1.75 a ton and buckwheat at S125
during the month of August. The cir
cular price is S2.25 and S1.75, respec-
lively. A short time ago contracts We're
made with certain dealers for 81 a ton
but Notwithstanding this these dealers
are 20 be permitted to purchase coal al
the reduced price.
For the present the reduction applies
only to the city and line trade, but il
Is thought tidewater points will alsobe
given the same privilege. The Phila-
delphia q Reading Coal & Iron Com
lpany was the mover i'm the reduction
General Manager Henderson. after
consultation with the Pennsylvani;
Railroad Coal Company officials, is.
sued the order.
AS far as the domestic sizes Of an.
thracite are concerned. it is believed
there win be no reduction In the pric,
of these sizes as all the companies hav,
enough orders on their books to tax,
all that is mined for several months.

two boys, whose skin had gone adrift-
The drowning occurred in front of the
Royal Palace Hotel and was witnessed
by hundreds The body has not been
recovered. He was walking along the
beach when two boys in their bathing
suits came along and told the captain
that they were going out to the bar
in skin Soon afterwards the crowds
on the beach saw the boys row out to
the bar and jump out of their boat. A
big wave sent the skin adrift and the
boys ran after IT, clambering over the
sides. Another high wave washed the
oars adrift leaving them helpless.

bridges and along the sides OF tho
canals, kneeling and saluting. tie
women exclaiming, God bless ceF pa-
triarch."
The new pope used then to say that
he did not like 10 go out of sight Of
the lions Of st. Mark, which now he
will never see again, If. as IS almost
sure, he follows the rule inauguratad
by his two predecessors never to leave
the Vatican.
In few cases in which he came to
Rome, on returning when asked If he
enjoyed the gorgeousness Of the papal
court and the maghihcence OF the
functions, Sarto answered: when
am there l feel like a fish out of water"
lie has very modest tastes, having re-
tanned almost the same habits as when
he was a mere curate at Salpazo. He
was severe but was just with his
clergy There is nothing he dislikes
so much as publicity, detesting the
praise and compliments of courtiers.
Frankness is another Of his principal
qualities. although he is somewhat
timid.
As the Italians say, he has no harm
on his tongue or pen. Even So Piux X
often wrote truths which were perhaps
unpleasant.
The relations of Sarto with the house
OF Savoy are we'll illustrated by what
occurred two months ago. when the
king Of Italy went to Venice to open
the International Art Exhibition. Kine
Victor Emmanuel gave orders that the
patriarch be given precedence over all
the local authorities. but Sarto having
arrived whilo the king was speaking tc
the project, who is the highest govern
ment official in the province, he re.
fused to be announced and said he
would not disturb his majesty. He re-
manned in an antechamber affably
conversing with the generals and admi-
rails gathered there. When the king
learned Of his presence he came tc
receive him on the threshold of the
chamber and kept him in conversation
accompanying him afterwards in q
gondola, while all the soldiers ant
guards rendered sarto military honors
Naturally this does not mean thai
sarto, once pope, will fundamental,
change the policy that the church hai
adopted towards the Italian state, bu
certainly his personal feeling will b.
favorable to moderation.
The elder brother of the pope, An
gelo, lives In the village Of DellegraziC
provine of Mantua, being the postmai
OF the district and receiving $50
year for his duties. He adds to hi
income by keeping a shop In which h
sells tobacco and pork. His two daugh
ters are the bellies of the village bein
known for miles around as the "hand
some Sarto sisters"
When Plus X was bishop of Mantu
his brother. Angelo. used often to g
there for reasons connected with hi
postal service. The other clerks woul
ask him jolSingly why his brother di
not find him better position. Angelo
with sturdy independence, answere
that he preferred only TO be what h
could make himself Still, followin

surprise In Venice.

Venice, Aug. 5.-The election Of
Cardinal Sarto as pope produced here
an impression more OF stupor than
anything else, because his candidacy,
in which he never put much faith,
seemed almost hopeless, and also be-
cause It was thought here that al
though a man of great piety, he was
lacking in one Of the eminent qualities
OF a pope. being ignorant of diplomacy.
For instance, the fact that he speaks
nothing but Italian was considered a
great drawback. as every ponuff is
obliged to receive many personages
who are unfamiliar with the Italian
language. The news was communi-
Gated 20 his sisters. who live with him
In the palace Of the patriarch. and a
great crowd gathered there to register.
Many shops were closed, and some of
the most important personages of Ven
ice went to the patriarch's palace TO
congratulate his sisters. among them
being Don Carlos. the Spanish pre-
tender. and his wife. who spent some
time there. being personal acquaint-
ances of the new pope.
