WHAT'S GOING ON.
FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
Coal Famine keenIy Felt.

The coal situation throughout the coun-
try does not mend. To all appearances,
the supply does not keep pace with the
everyday consumption. The mines are
producing about their full output now,
but there is some difficulty in transporta-
tion, and il takes time to get the coal 10
market. President John Mitchell OF tae
Mine Workers has requested that the men
assist the operators in every way possible
to increase the supply. Prices have taken
bound upward the past week, due TO the
abrogation OF the agreement by which the
independent mine owners sold their coal
at tidewater to the railroad companies that
also operate mines at fixed price OF 20
per ton. Coal now sells in New York at
whatever il will bring, and under the
sharp demand, high rates obtain, about III
to s12 being considered a good trade Tor
the purchaser. Mayor Low had confer
ence Tuesday with the railroad presidents,
urging them to do something to relieve
the situation. The latter blame the inde-
pendents and the retail dealers. Congress
has appointed a committee to investigate
the coal famine and report as to remedy. A
bill has been favorably reported in the
national House to give a rebate FOR year
on imported coal, IN amount equal to the
tariff duty OF 81 cents per ton. The mine
owners are putting in their side before
the coal arbitration commission, with
evidence tending to show that the miners
are well paid, and that the union Is re-
sponslDle for the present troubles.

Edmard conant. A Trlbute.

Edward Conant is dead. He has gone to
return no more. lt hardly seems possible.
In one sense, yes, in another sense, he lives,
and breathes, and moves among us, ana
will continue to do so for centuries TO
come.
Hundreds, even thousands, of his for
mer pupils will hear with most sincere
sorrow that their loved. instructor has
PASSED away To these same pupils there
will ever be a feeling of deep gratitude
that 1t was once their privilege 10 De
placed under the taition OF so pure and
noble a man, SO intelligent and clear
headed an instructor.
Mr.. Conant wae a remarkable man. lie
was close student, a clear thinker, pro-
gressive educator. He was more than
teacher. He was positive and inspiring
force in the life and character OF every
pupil who came into his presence. lie
was so patient, SO cheerful, so optimistic,
so dsinclined to notice slight or rebuke
a wrong that il was constant surprise
and delight TO note his wonderful SELF
mastery.
Without question, Mr.. Conant held the
honor for very many years OF being the
best known and most popular teacher IN
Vermont. How thankful now are all his
former pupils and disciples that they were
permitted TO testify In a small measure 70
their esteem and affection for him while
alive as they did last August.

Agassiz, the great naturalist, chose as
his inscription, "Louis Agassiz, Teacher.
Without doubt Mr. Conant's choice would
be the plain, modest, but expressive IN
scription, Edward Conant, Teacher"
Nav the memory of his beautiful life
ever remain fresh in our minds.

years past have fed ten or II months
OF the year. From my experience
well-esred northern corn yielding so
to 100 baskets per acre, cut when

ly eight dollars per ton, as it not
only takes tho place OF most Of the
