bear fruit. Enough interest has been
stirred up in New York to start the bowl
ers discussing the proposition and west
erners would not be surprised to see New
York we'll represented in the big annual
event. Only two men were entered from
Greater New York in the Indianapolis
tourney, but at that time the absence OF
the Gothamites was attributed to the
long journey as much as to the loaded
ball question. If Mr.. York succeeds in
bringing the eastern cracks into line
again, he will be credited with notable
accomplishment Western tenpin men
would like to see the fasteners compete
in the next years affair." as without the
Gothamites it loses some of it's national
aspects, as well as losing the inter-city
rivalry between Chicago and New York.
Since the fasteners split with the west
ern men two years ago at the Buffalo
convention they have not taken any &C
tive participation in the affairs Of the
congress, organizing instead local as
ISOLATION in New York to govern their
affairs. The chief reason for the split
between the east and the west was the
loaded ball, and, while the present rules
limit the weight of ball to 161s pounds,
the New Workers insist or an atwood
ball. However, the men in the me-
tropolis are still rolling under the A. b.
C. rules and regulations, and while a
few leagues retained their membership
in the national organization last year,
they failed to enter n team in the Indi-
annapolis events. With the adoption Of
the new constitution and bylaws by the
A. B. c. the situation as to membership
has been changed entirely. Formerly
the A. B. c. was composed Of leagues,
but now it deals exclusively with clubs
through city associations.

Jewell is one of the worst victims of

COOL WEATHER CAUSES
ADVANCE IN PRICE OF COAL.
Increase for Some GrRdes of Fuel as
High az Fifty Cents
Per Ton.

The cool weather has caused an in
creased demand for coal and prices have
advanced.
Although the increase in prices has been
as high as 50 cents per ton for some va
rieties' this price is not considered exor-
bitant. II is claimed by some dealers that
prices as they stand to-day. taking into
consideration the increased cost of produc-
ton since April !, are practically the same
as they have been for several years with
the exception of last year. when higher
prices were due to strikes in various parts
OF the country.
The month OF October. 1901, when COM
pareo with the present ime shows a dill
ference OF from rs cents TO 81 a ton in the
price OF anthracite coal. In 1901 anthra-
cite was selling from $50 to S.75 per ton.
The same kind is to be had now at S.25
and $50 per ton.
h present figure is said to be the
zane as far as the wholesale dealer Is
concerned. since, ii is III the miners
are now getting 80 cents per ton more for
thc mining. Freight rates have also m
creased 10 cents per ton and tsamins mas
advanced from 1Za cents TO BIZ cents. ac-
corolng to the location of delivery.
Bituminous coal was selling on Septem-
Der Is. 1902. for s. per ton. This price was
lor a good grade. The same grade now
sells at $3.50 per ton.
On July II last the same grace was sell
ING Tor y per ton, and on August Il Tor
S.25 per ton.
Lack OF demand at the time caused
claimed that a good grade of coal at s.
per ton, which was the price at this time
iast year, is impossible on account OF the
increased freight and hauling rates.
me supply of bituminous at present Is
not equal to the demand, but it is not be-
lieyed thai the prices will go any higher.

EDWARDS. Chief OF the Bureau of Insular
Affairs. has received n copy of the bill
for the education of FfIipinos in the Unit
ed States. which 1t is unofficially reported
has been made a Jaw. 1t provides for the
designation of not more than 100 F%flipinos
from 10 to % years OF age, to be sent TO
the United States to complete their edu-
cation at the expense OF the insuIar Gov
eminent and $4,000 is set aside for this
purpose.
The Civil Government may designate as
many as twenty-five Filipinos without eN-

competitive examinations. The successful
candidates viii take an oath of allegiance
to the United States. and viii agree that
within two months after their return TO
the Philippines from the United states
they will enter examination for admission

A suggestion receiving favorable consid-
Grafton is that the Fiiipinos. instead OF
living at the universities and colleges IN

families in order that they may absorb
ideas OF domestic discipline and culture.
Il is believed under such environment they

to request tho Board of Public Improve

new buildings at the Poorhouse.
The board IL of the opinion that, while

stated yesterday that Architect A. 7.
North. in view of the developments as to
conditions at the Poorhouse. had made
some suggestions regarding changes In the
present plans which would relieve them.
The present idea Is to separate the males
and females by the erection Of two build
ings. Architect North now suggests that
one floor Of the woman division be fitted
up for imbecile children. This. would re-
lieve the congestion In the old building.

which officially notified the board that the
House had adopted the resolution asking
the board TO draw up suitable legislation

Commissioner Simon referred the letter
to the Committee on Legislation, but II Is
thought hat nothing along that line will
be done now. on account Of the contem-
plated change In the building plans, or. at
least. until the board has looked them
over.
Preliminary work has been started for
finishing the City Hall. Gas and water
pipes are being laid In the vacant quad
ranglc. The bill for the completion OF the
hall and the one for the Poorhouse only
lack the signatures OF President Hornsby
OF the Council and Speaker GazZoio OF the
House before being sent TO Mayor Wells
for his signature.
The law provides that ten days shall

the Mayor before 1t can become n law.
So IL win be the latter part of next week
before bids can be asked for by the Board
OF Public improvements.
As soon as this has been done. President
Phillips said. the bids would be asked
for and the work rushed as fast as posi-

Kansas City. Mo-. Sept. Thames
Mooney. president of the coal miners
union at Novinger, No.. and a member of
the National Board of United Mine Work
eTs OF America, suggested in a speech at
The conference with operators this morn
ing that the coal miners and the mine
operators in this district combine to raise
the price of coal so that the operators
might make a good profit and the miners
might get big wages. regardless OF what it
might cost the coal consuming public.
This suggestion was repudiated immedi-
ateiy by John Mitchell. president of the
United Mine Workers of America, and MIR.
Lewis, vice president of that oraniza-
don. Mr.. Mitchell said:
we, as an organization, believe that the
operators are entitled to a fair profit upon
their Investment and that the wage earn
ers are entitled to n fair wage for their
labor, but to obtain either we would not
enter a combination to extort money from
the public"

TO HOLD OBSERVATION
CASES IN POLICE STATIONS.
Simon Says Too Many Queer Patients
Are Sent to HOspitaI-Scrvfce
on Mccormick.

Assistant Health Commissioner Francis
reported to the Board of Health yesterday
that for the second time there had been
Illegal service on David Mccormick, pres
ident of the Parker-Washington Company
and their works on the Wabash tracks
near Duncan avenue. which the board de-
clared a nuisance a month ago.
Commissioner Simon stated that there
had been an unusual number of cases for
observation sent to the City Hospital OF
late by the police. there being as many as
ten and fifteen a day. This' results in
overcrowding that institution.
Doctor Simon is of the opinion that be-
cause a patrolman thinks a man is acting
strangely on the street is no reason for
rushing him to the observation ward at
the City Hospital. He said that the proper
place for them. in his opinion. was one of
the police stations until definite symptoms
of some kind developed.
From now on the meetings of the board
will convene at $3.50 instead of 4 O'Clock, as
has been the custom.
