INSURE AGAINST RIOT
GEN. GORDON SAYS MERCHANTS
PRACTICALLY GET PROTECTION
BY SUBSCRIBING TO BAZAAR.
SUCH SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE BUT

Last night marked the close of the
first week of the Georgia Hussars' Ba-
zaar. The success has been so pro-
nounced. and the fair has been so we'll
patronized, that it has been decided to
continue it several days this week, and
arrangements have been made for spe-
cial entertainments on several nights.
The success of the bazaar is attrib-

though this subscription was confined
altogether to other than the Bay street
men, the committees say. There were
quite a number of merchants on the
Bay who did subscribe, but many more
who did not.
1.-THE Bay street merchants should be
brought to recognize that there is no
better way for them to invest their
money than by subscriptions to the ba-
zaar. BY so doing they are really pay
ing premium on riot insurance" said
Gen. w. w Gordon last night. There
is not a fire insurance company In the
world that will pay a loss resulting
from a riot, Protection against such a
loss, then. is best secured by assisting
in the maintenance of military organ
izations, whose duty and province it is
to quell riots.
The CavaIry's Value.
"Of all military companies it will
readily be seen that the cavalry is
most important in such an emergency
since it is then that the city is in need
of mounted patrolmen, while the police
force is engaged at the scene of an
uprising. The cavalry thus affords
protection to property, while the police
are engaged in handling the mob. 1t
is the greatest safeguard against loss
resulting from riot
1.-The merchants along the Bay, who
own large warehouses and possess val
liable property should be the first to
come to the assistance of the cavalry

Boy Smokers.
From the London Chronicle.

With reference to the. proposed bill pen
alizing juvenile smokers. it is interesting
to note that twenty years ago the prohi-
bition OF tobacco to children under sixteen
was proposed in France. but not brought
into force In several other countries. how
ever, juvenile smoking is restricted by law.
The nearest instance is Norway. where the
sale Of tobacco to any boy under sixteen is
forbidden except on an order signed by an
adult relative or employer. The penalizing
fine varies from IS. to- f5. In nearly all
the American states there are similar laws,
with penalties also for the youthful con-
sumer It is the same in Canada, and the
government Of Victoria is leading the way
in Australia A clause in the licenses OF
tobacco dealers forbids them to trade with
children under the age of sixteen. More
than two years ago the House of Keys dis
cussed similar law for the Isle Of Man.

WHINE LIKE WHIPPED DOGS. i"
Coal Trust Lawyer Denounces People
of New York

Coal Trust Lawyer DenounceS People
of New York.
A dispatch from New York last night
says: In the hearing of the complaint of
William r. Hearst before the interstate
commerce commission the coal roads to-
day. through their counsel, refused an
order of the commission to produce the
form Of contract between coal companies
and railroads
One of the lawyers for the railroads Gre
ated an even greater sensation when he
bitterly attacked the people Of New York
for daring to object to the price of coal,
declaring that they were whining like a
pack of whipped dogs ....,.-,
Clarence Shearn, counsel for Mr.. Hearst,
called for all the contracts entered into be-
tween the Lehigh, Valley railroad and the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, explaining
that he expects to prove by them the diff
ference between the. actual price of car
riage charged to that company and the
published schedule price charged to the in
dependent companies. He said the con-
tracts will show that the Lehfgh Valley
Coal Company is to receive for all it's coal
65 per cent Of the price realized for the
coal at tidewater.
Judge Campbell Of the Reading and Mr..
Kerr of the Ontario and Western protested
roads Mr.. Shearn said the contracts
would show the creation Of a monopoly;
that the coal companies had no power over
the output of their mines because they can
only get rid of the quantity the railroads
are willing to take from them, and that
the railroads will not handle the coal in
sufficient quantities to reduce the price to
the consumer. Analysis of the contracts,
he said, will show that they are really con-
tracts for the carriage and not for the pur-
chase of the coal. o.-.v-
''These companies" he said, brought the
coal to tidewater for 80 per cent of the
price of S. ton, and then turned 1t back
again to the coal companies to be sold for
$12 to SIS ton"
'Where do the complaints come fronu?'
interrupted Judge Campbell. From the in
dependent companies? No. From the own
ers of the palaces about Central Park the
crowded tenement and the business build
ings in the lower part of the city? Yes.
If the price of coal is reduced, will your
rents be reduced? Not bit of it. Cheaper
coal is the hysterical demand of your news
paper, not of the thinking public. We will
show the people of New York the facts.
1--WE will show this commission that for
more than quarter of a century the peo-
pie of New York have wrung the bowels
out of the coal regions Of Pennsylvania,
practically getting their coal for nothing,
when decent remunerative price Is asked
by the miners. Here Is where the surplus
comes and here the coal is cheaper than
anywhere else. You pay less than l pay
in Philadelphia. You don't pay enough,
and am going to appeal to the commits
sion to order the rates on coal to tide
water ADVANCED 1890
