by both when necessary, there were many bitter disappointments, which came about through the absence of the actual buyer. as this letter shows:
 When got your second letter wrote to hurry up my other purchase of The Old Woman with the Fagots, by Frere, and that, too, was gone ill this wise: When the owner said that 1 might have it he wrote after few days delay (tllinking there was no Furry) to Paris, where he had just placed it on sale, directing them to send 1t to me. Word came that it was all ready gune, but I have the promise of it's coming back to me if possible Of course, I was much disappointed on your account. and made no end of an outcry"
 Another letter to ATr. Marquand throws an interesting side light on the artist himself:

I get whatever appeals to me as good work. when I can afford 1t. and more often when I can't, To me good work near me is a pleasant spur, and I don't mind jabbing myself with good points when going astray.

 It was not often that the collector was taken in," though some of the most likely frauds that Europe could invent were offered to him. Many times he had the assistance of advance warning from some friend who knew
 of the fraud. Here is bit from a
 friends letter warning him to look out 1 for cheap reprints of certain rare color 1 engravings:
 "They are made in Germany by some
 process. The low print shops reek with
 them, and shipload is on its way to ! America. They are so good that any but a rare expert would be taken in.

CONFERENCE IN NEW FORM.
Baer B!ames the Retailers for Existing
 High Prices.


 New York. Jan. 13.-The conference between Mayor Low and representa- tives O. the coal carrying railroads. to talk over the coal situation in New York city, which was held in the city hall to-day, resulted in the appoint ment of a committee to which the may or will communicate the answer of the coal retailers, whom he expects to en- list in a movement to extend the pres ent distribution of cheap anthracite to the poor of the tenements and the mid dle class citizens. who are suffering equally with the poor
 The committee chosen by the coal operators is composed of George F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad: Thomas P. Fowler, president of the New York, Ontario and Western railroad; E. E. Thomas, presi- dent of the Lehigh Valley railroad; D. H. Williams, representing the Erie rail- road, and MT. Loomis, representing the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad
 The others present at the conference were Vice President Provost of the Pennsylvania railroad who got to the mayors office a half hour late because his train had been delayed; F. D. T1n- dcrwGod, of the Erie railroad. and John Markle of the Hazleton individual coal operator.
 The conference was remarkable be- cause it was the first conference par ticpated in by the presidents of the L. rt- turbances in the anthracite region be- gan which was not held behind closed doors. That the conference was not an executive session was due to the mayor, who said that he thought a deliberation of such vital importance to the public should be public.
 Within the week the mayor will have sent to every coal retailer in Greater New York letter asking their co-op- eration in the distri ibution of cheap cnal and at to-day's conference every repre- sentative of the coal interests promised that he would sell to the retailers their anthracite at the regular and fair price of g. a ton for domestic sizes. The attitude of all the coal presidents, however was that they had been doing all they could for New York In the mat ter of coal, and they asserted that their cooperation With Mayor Low in his plan would simply be a continuance of a course of action which was now an old story with them. Robert w. De Forrest, the tenement house commis- sioner, sat at the mayor'h right hand during the deliberations
 i MT Baer came to the conference arm ed with a written justification of the coal interests he represents, and as soon as the mayor had stated his rea- sons for inviting the representatives of the coal-carrying railroads to call upon him the Reading president read his statement.
 Baer indignantly denied that the companies he represented were respon-- sible for the high prices. He said they got 8 a ton for thni- coal and blamed the retailers for extorting from the public.
 President Underwood Of the Erie road, John Markle, Vice President Loomis Of the LackaWanna and Presi- dent Fowler of the Ontar:o and Western spoke.
 A committee was appointed by the operators to confer with dealers who are willing to extend the sale of hard coal at ten cents a pail.

Were built at the various locomotive plants in the country, as against S,SS4 last year. This figure is official through out, and required no estimat ting. The number for the current year includes seventy-four electric locomotives. The real meaning of this figure is perhaps best realized by calculating the eX- penditure involved, which would be nearly $4S,OOO,OOO. if the average cost per locomotive is assumed to be $12,- 000.-Baltimore Gazette.

Undecided Whether to Hold Motorman
 Cohane Responsible.
 The executive committee of the local Trolley Mems union, which is investi- gating the cause of the discharge of Motorman Cohane, alleged to be un warranted, has arrived at no conclu- sion as yet. Additional testimony will be taken, after which the committee will probably make a report to Presi- dent Bernard Hope. A special meeting Of the union will then be called to act upon this report.
 Motorman Cohane, who ran West vile car, was discharged for colliding with a Shelton avenue car at cross over near the Broadway green.

THE PROFESSIONAL Gu1NEA.

THE PROFESSIONAL GUINEA.
 The question why professional fees should be in guineas and not sover- eigns has been asked often, and no more satisfactory answer can be got than that it is a survival of the days when a coin or guinea was well knonwn in these islands. A writer In The Lady has been looking into the history of the guinea. Sir Robert Holmes, one of the most picturesque figures in the annals of the Isle of Wight, was really re- spOnsihle for it. Half soldier, half sail or, half English, half Irish wholly loyal to the crown. the merry stalwart, fili- clustering hero was equally popular with both the Cha"leses and was made governor of the island by Charles IT. Sir Robert it was who in 1906, captured golden prize in Schelling Bay that consisted of bullion and gold dust from cape Coast Castle in Guinea. This rich price was coined into gold pieces stamped with an elephant, and to com memorate the capture these pieces of money were called guineas.
 Sir Robert seems to have had plenty of these golden coins. At Yarmouth. Isle on Wight, so long the site of the governors house, shrimpers and lobster catchers still look out for the stray gold piece he was wont to scatter, or that may have been lost or hidden in the smuggling raids so common in his day. The guinea is not nearly so an tique as many of the coins now incir- culation. The simple, respectable sover- eign is more than a century old, and dates from the time of Henry VII. The guniea displaced 1t. but sovereigns were recoined in the early part of the last century, and soon after that they con- pletcly busted the guinea piece--St James Gazette.

RELIGION IN LONDON.

The census of church attendance in London which the Daily News of that town is taking was carried on Sunday, Dec IA. to the borough of St. Pancras. The population of this borough is 235 317, of which the males number 114,305 and the females, 121.012. With the ex- ception of a small part, St. Pancras is region inhabited by the poor. The Church attendance in the morning was only one in twelve of the population and one in eleven in the evening. Of the total attendance counted in the borough, or 39,S50, the men at both services aggregated 10,597, the women and children, 29.253. The attendance at the Anglican churches was 17,275, at the other churches, 22,575.
 The total population of the four bor- oughs in which the church attendance has been counted is S06,770 and the num- ber found in the churches on Sunday at both services was 159,297 or less than one-fifth. As the population of the boroughs becomes the poorer the percentage of church attendance dim inishes. Of the total church attendance S3,117 was Anglican and 76,1 180 in the other churches. To count together the morning and evening attendance, it may be remarked, must be to count many people twice, so that relatively to the population the actual number who go to church on Sunday is less, perhaps much less, than figured out in the cen- sus.
 The average attendance at the churches of different denominations at inc morning service in St. Prancras has significance:

So Says Capt. Ed Farley, One of
the Commissioners.
In Several Places the Republicans
Were Barred From the Reg
istration.
SHERIFF HAD LIST IN TINE

Captain Ed Farley, one of the cleo.
ton commissioners for McCracken
county, states that the charge that the
election commissioners did not furnish
list Of election officers to the sheriff
in time to get service, 10 an error.
The list was completed. in pursu-
ance Of law, September 20 and three
copies were made. The sheriff is
chairman of the board, and there were
three copies for the officers made, one
being given to the sheriff. Some
changes were necessarily made, but
the claim that the sheriff did not have
the list in time is denied by Captain
Farley.
In several of the precincts yesterday
the Republicans had no representation.
One OF the officers appointed says hewas
told by deputy sheriff that the polls
opened at a. M. and when he reached
there at GAS he found four Democrats
already in charge, and they refused
to allow him to qualify, leaving the
polls in control of the Democrats,
which is contrary to the letter and
spirit of the law which gives both
parties representation at the polls
and intends that they shall have them.
At some of the polls police officers
were on guard as "challengers, 1t is
said, and some Of them made them
selves quite active in trying to keep
some Republicans from voting.
Nevertheless the Republicans showed
great gains, and registered more vot-
ers than on all the registration days
combined last year.
