tenn in the shape of blue light on
every police box. For the present CITY
Electrician Pickett will place on the
police box in Monument square, and on
that at the Union station blue light,
as an experiment, to be used as 1t VIII,
it is hoped, finally be. The general
plan is to have this light on all police
boxes. 1t is not kept lighted, but
should the officer who is on the same
beat as that on which is the box, be
wanted at police headquarters, the cur
rent is turned on, and the light is light
ed. The patrolman is thus called to
the box and is then in telephone COM
munication with police headquarters.
Were 1t not for the light, word would
not be received from him until he made
his regular call at the box and reported.
By the light system. he is practically
in constant communication with head
quarters.

The unexpected presence of a mouse
at Foxcroft Academy. one day last
week, struck terror to the hearts of
some of the lady students, and con-
sternation prevailed for the time being
among the gentler sex, but all fears
were dispelled when the announcement
was made that the intruder had been
vanquished, or at least vanished from
sight. When one of the girls returned
home after school was dismissed that
afternoon, her sister noticed something
moving about near the crown of her
hat and called her attention to the fact.
She thought of the horrid mouse, seized
her hat and shook it and, presto! it
was the same. A good wholesome
Commanche yell followed and was very
eXcusable at such a crisis. Nobody
can blame that young lady if she goes
bareheaded for the next few months.

The Coal Trade.

We remember the coal famine. We
have no pleasant recollections of the
time spent in chasing after dusky
diamonds or cord wood.
For some time after that slight I'M
ploasantness, which began with the
miners and mine owners and wound up
in every household in the country, re-
ports came that the demand for coal
had fallen off and that the supply ex-
ceeded the demand. The same modesty
which led the wood dealers, during the
winter of our coal discomfort, to raise
prices. led them to continue their treat
ment of the suffering and helpless
exceeds the supply. A supply of one or
both of these fuels is necessary. Where
does the public come in, while the price
of each stays up? The Philadelphia
Press says:
THE coal trade is better than it has
been for some time. There is a good
demand for domestic sizes of anthra-
cite. There is a small supply of chest
nut and stove on hand and the dealers
are DESTROYS of stocking up with these
sizes.
"a prominent coal dealer said yester-
day: The anthracite coal trade con-
tinues in about the same condition as
last week. All the companies are
operating their mines to the greatest
extent, and even with this it is impos-
sible for them to keep up with the
numerous inquiries for prepared coal.
This is particularly true of stove and
chestnut. and all the large operators
report that they are very short of these
two sizes. 1t is expected that the ton
mage this month will be as great, if not
in excess of April of last year, and out
side of the small sizes every ton will go
on order.
1.-The backward spring season has
had the effect of making an unusual de-
mand on the retailers. The demand for
coal from the East and South continues
unremittingly, large quantities of coal
being sent to the East. both from
Philadelphia and New York shipping
ports. Dealers at these points assert
that coal received is almost instantly
gobhled up, and little. if any, can be
stocked for future consumption. Every
indication points to rushing business
for some time to come.
Conditions in the bituminous trade
are anything but favorable, in marked
contrast to the anthracite
