The Eighth street and Cedar avenue
yard of the Northwestern Fuel company
was the scene yesterday afternoon OF a
practical illustration Of the sufferings OF
the coal famine. The ocacsfon was the
delivery of three cars of hard coal ins 100
pound lots For hours men. women and
children stood patiently in line waiting for
the delivery of the ticket which would en-
title them to receive their allowance OF
the precious mineral
Shortly after noon the crowd began
gathering. and by A o'clock-the time set
for the delivery-a crowd OF men, women
and children We're fighting for place In
line. The weather was bitterly cold and
children cried from IA in. Many pitiful
tales were heard of the real sufferIngs peo-
pie are compelled to endure on account OF
a shortage of coal
please. mister. get me a ticket, won't
you?' asked one small urcbin Of the Jour
nal man. MY mother is sick at home and
we hain't got no coal. I've been here since
noon and I'm about froze to death. Please
get me ticket. won't you?'
This beats anything I ever saw" ex-

upon whose shirt bosom a large diamond
sparkled. Il never before was compelled
to get in such a jam in order to buy little
coal My check is good for $1,000 in any
bank in the city. and yet I have to stand
here in the cold for three hours in order
to get 100 pounds of coal I'll be glad
when summer comes again
We've had an awful hard time to keep
warm this winter remarked frail look :

her turn at the window. I'VE can't burn
soft coal in our stove. and for several
weeks we have depended upon what coal
we get in these small lots Several times
have seen the last scuttle of coal go into
the stove, but we always managed to get
another 100 pounds before we suffered
from cold. About all the real sufferins
we have been compelled to endure is that
which we have had standing here in line
waiting for ticket
Cant l get two tickets?" asked a wo-
man OF the clerk. II have two~children
at home who are i'll of pneumonia, and l
must keep them warm. Please give me
two tickets.'''
Sorry, ma am replied the clerk, "but
we can't sell more than 100 pounds to each
person. Call again. and We will give YOU
another 100 pounds il we have it, -
How do you get along for coal?'' the
reporter asked Of a bright eyed youngster
who stood in the line 49,
'oh. we have lots of coal" he replied
Dad thinks we won't have to buy any
more after what we get to-day. You see

BOON TO NON-RESIDENTS
Chamber of Commerce Will Allow
Outside Members a Commission,

BY a vote of 237 to 43 the members of
the Minneapolis chamber of commerce
yesterday passed a new rule which will be
greatly to the advantage of nonresident
members. Country elevator companies,
independent shippers and country millers
who are now members, or may hereafter
become members will be entitled to one
half of the regular rates of commission
on all of their shipments and purchases.
Commission men have already received
orders from several of their large ship
pers and country millers for memberships
and several purchases have been made.
This demand is likely soon to exhaust the
few scattering memberships that can be
bought.

The council committee ON health and
hospitals and the aldermen of the first
ward will hold a conference Friday. The
O ldermen of the first are still opposed to
the removal of the two incinerator from
Fifty second avenue n to Halls island.
They say that their constituents are ir-
reconciably opposed to the establishment
of the crema tory in the first ward, even
on an island 1T is not the plant itself
that we object to, said one, "but we
don't like this idea of having most of the
offal and garbage of Minneapolis hauled
through the first ward. A large part-of it
is bound to come that way. and you can't
make our people believe that the atmos-
plhcre won't be poisoned in our vicinity
On the other hand it is. argued that as
Halls Island is not in the first ward. the
protests of first warders will be unavail-

Statistics of Old Ace.

Those persons who find life so well
worth living that they would not be
sorry to become centenarians will
surely be interested in the following
statistics, which were recently COM
piled by an indefatigable French sci

Out of every million persons who
are born in the same year, $4,000, he
says, live for 70 years, 100000 for 80
years and s,s41 for 80 years. Two
hundred and forty-ive persons out of
every million live for 81 years, 119
for 80, "a for 80, % for 100, for 101,
for 102 and 1 for 103 years. A few
among the million may attain even a
greater age than this, and the Stats
tician expresses this chance in frac-
tons. Thus the chance that a man
may live for 104 years is 0.3 and the
chance that he may live for los years
