ANTHRACITE Will
never BE CHEAPER

Anthracite coal Will never cost less
per ton than it does at present, accord
ing to an operator, as the tendency is
to increase, because while the expenses
or mining and the operation Of mach
inery have been reduced to the min
imum, the price of labor is advancing
and the continuous lengthening of the
underground gangways causes the out
lay of money to increase. Consequent
| ly the consumer has to pay the differ
enccs.
When President Thomas of the Lee
high Valley was in Wilkesbarre, last
week he was questioned at some length
on this particular point. but he refus-
ed to make any comment, saying that
he would issue statement, and he
did 50 Saturday.
Among other things he said: 1t Is
strongly probable that from this time
on the cost of putting anthracite on
the cars will gradually increase, part.
ly on account of the continuous
lengthening OF the underground hauI
in the majority of the mines, but prin.
cipally because the different classes OF
mine emloyes show determination tC
exact an advancing wage scale. "
Wilkesbarre officials talked very
readily along the same lines. The,
called attention to the fact that a
some of the mines the chambers ar,
miles away from the shaft and til,
work of conveying the coal and car
is difficult and expensive. Besides !
requires additional men and boys Il
move the cars from place to place.
Again. there is a general tendenc.
on the part of the employees to secure
increased wages aud shorter hours
therefore it can be readily observed
that owing to these prevailing con
ditions the price of anthracite Goa
will increase.
1t may be slightly reduced, accord
ing to the variations of the mark ct
but the general feeling prevails at tn
present time, that when the pric
, schedule is arranged next year by tn
operators, the prices for coal per tol
will have higher basis than it has a
2 the present time.

Coal Digger a Good Investment

Little rain has fallen during several
weeks past and as a result the river is
falling down to one Of the lowest
points Of the season, which proves a
big advantage TO Mr.. lie Due, who is
plying his coal digger for all it is
worth
There is scarcely a day but the
queer looking craft may be seen from
the river bridge. steaming about in
the vicinity Of the bend" in its
search for coal. Neither is there a day
when the digger is at work but it
brings back fiat boat load of coal.
Mr.. LeDu1 says he has no idea how
much coal he has extracted from the
river, but about twelve tons per day
are the lowest figures which he can
accept as an average at present. The
season has now advanced far enough
TO convince him that the money re
quired to equip the digger was very
we'll invested.

new KIND
OF A KING

Samuel H. Rebuck, aged 2l years,
of Upper Mahanoy township, North

mitted to the Northumberland county
Jail by Justice Rowe, Of Shamokin,
pending the appointment of commits
sion in lunacy by the court, IS caus-
ing Warden Hancock aud his assist
ants no end of trouble.
Tuesday Rebuck made up his mind
that the prison diet was not good
enough for him and threw the tin
dishes and contents at the attendants
and painted the walls of his cell with
| the molasses given him for his bread.
Wednesday morning Rcbuck tore the
bed clothing in his cell into shredo,
broke the iron cot apart and emptied
the contents Of the straw tick in tho
corner and then made repeated de-
mands for matches to start a bonfire.
He wanted to celebrate in this manner
he said because he had just {beeI
crowned king OF the Kingdom of
Women. His next move was to dis
connect the spigot on the water stand
and flood his cell. The attendant
shut off the water. but Rebuck got 1
nail out of the wall and in some man
ner turned it on again. Disrobinl
himself Rebuck then began to dane
around his cell and do other strang
things.
Warden Hancock was obliged to pu
him in bare cell He does not at
tempt to do anyone bodily harm, hu
refused to eat or wear any clothes an
constantly repeats that he is kin

County Solicitor Lark has apple
to the court for commission i

required by the law can be compile
with he will be sent to the Danvill
asylum, as he is unquestionably

Delaware Woman Shoots Her Husband.

DOVER, Del. Nov. u..-Mrs. Edith
Jackson Hollis, a member of an in
fiuential Camden, Del, family, mur
dered her husband, Delaware L. Hollis.
by shooting him through the head
while he was asleep early today.
Hollis was sitting in a chair asleep
when his wife placed the revolver to
his head and blew out his brains.
Last night the husband consented to
his wife being sent to the insane asy-
lum at Farnhurst, Delaware, for treat
ment and the wife believed from that
moment that her husband had turned
against her.
Mrs. Hollis friends have been max
ing strenuous efforts to prevent her
being committed to the Dover Jail but
the judges were firm in their convic-
tion that she would have to be treated
as in any other capital case until a
jury passed upon her sanity.
Mrs. Hollis is the owner OF several
farms Her husband who was merch-
ant and promoter, Is brother OF
Magistrate George A. Hollis, of Will
mington.
Mrs. Hollis was only % years old
and her husband was 30. The woman
had been confined in an insane asylum
for several months but her relatives
were allowed to take her home about
month ago, the impression being
that she was cured. Recently, how
ever, she became violent and was
placed under restraint IN the home OF
her brother n-law, DR.. l.. S. Con
| we'll.
At O'Clock this morning she elud-
ed the guard that had beeu almost
constantly watching her and, escaping
from the house, made her way to hel
own home where she found her hus-
band sleeping in rocking chair.
Without disturbing him she drew 4
revolver from her dress and placing il
behind the mans ear killed him inst.
antly. She then returned to DR.. Con.
wells house and informed the family
| of her act.
1t was learned today that the de-
mented woman had refused to remain
at her home and Dr. Conwell took her
in charge, believing he could pacify
her.

Allentown Wide Open Place.

Commenting on the Bechtol tragedy
the Easton Free Press says: "Those
who are familiar with the conditions
existing there state very positively
that they know OF no other city where
there is 20 much permitted, in pub
lie way, that adversely affects the
moral atmosphere of a community and
even contaminatcs social conditions.
They declare Allentown is vide
open town, and that those citizens Of
the place, even ministers, who rise up
and rebuko the immortality existing
there, and permitted by the police au-
thorities, are frowned upon, referred
to as narrow minded, denounced III
public and private and made to un-
derstand that their opinions are not
wanted. The fact Is that vice and i'm
morality are winked at in Allentown
chiefly for "A business reason. There is
money in it for those hotel men whose
properties are vile dens; there is mo-
ney in it for the keepers of those sa-
looms where people of both sexes assem-
BILE in brazen publicity, and to many a
