ASKED TO
SUSPEND COAL
PRODUCTION
OPERATORS ARE
BEING APPROACHED WITH
A PROPOSITION TO AVOID
ovERsTockING THE
MARKET.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, August Ia
Efforts are being made to get all the
operators in the anthracite region to
agree to a general suspension for a
portion of this month and the next
in order to avoid overstocking the
market with coal as is now being
done.
The effort to cause general sus-
pension last week was not success
full, many Of the companies continu-
ing to work and declining to follow
the lead of the Philadelphia and
Reading, the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre, the Susquehanna and the Della
ware and Hudson companies
The output for July was the unu-
sualiy large amount of 4,623,22 tons.
and this month it will be about 100000
tons less. The July prices were four
Or five cents lower than the average
prices last year This de-
crease is due to the constant mining
of the smaller companies.

after time changed to a train and
came to New York.
Mr.. Watkins emphasized the state
ment that he is only thirty years of
age and that his bride is almost ff-
teen. He denies that he has been
remarked in New York, and says he
does not think his wife's parents
will attempt to have the marriage
annu1led.
Mrs. Watkins is SO pretty that it is
not surprising she was run away
with. She is tall for her age and well
proportioned, but is simple and child
like in manner.

dresses now" was suggested to her.
No, | will not. I do not like
Them she replied.
Her white frock did not reach to
her shoe tops and her brown hair
was tied on top Of her head with a
bow Of green ribbon and hung in
curls about her neck.
She intends to enter an art school
this fall and will have instruction in
French and one other study at home.

/ Mr. f.. Herman. the subject OF this
| sketch, is another one of Falrmonr's
enterprising. wide,awake, thorough
going young business men who saw
/ the great natural resources of Fair
mont and the splendid opportunities
bit presented for the safe investment
of money. and SO was induced to set

| Lewis A. Herman was born In Bal

teen years of his life, in attending5the
public schools of that city, at the
same time acquiring a commercial
! education at Bryant and Stratton's
Commercial College.
At the age OF fifteen Mr.. Herman
left his home city and went to Dam
VILE, Va, where he entered the SER
vice OF his uncle, l.. Herman, who
was engaged in the dry goods BUSH

half, rendering to his employer,
valuable services and at the same
time acquiring that knowledge which
has enabled him to make q success
mans attention was now turned
homeward TO his native city. Balti-
more, where opportunities for a young
man to work himself up We're more
favorable than in a small town. Re-
turning TO the Monumental City he!
at once accepted position with enc
OF the largest department stores as
floor walker and assistant manager of
the silk department. These positions
were of quite responsible charac-
ter, but Mr.. Herman demonstrated
from the start his ability to master
all the details thereto belonging and
gave to his employers unbounded sat
isfaction. But now the time had ar
rived in MI. Herrhan's life when he
decided that he could master bust
ness of his own, He came to Fair
mont in August, 1902, and at once
opened up place of business, cater
ing as he always has to the lady
trade. by carrying a large and com
plete line of dress goods, notions,
ladies furnishings, and Installing a
millinery department for the first
time this season.
Mr.. Hermans great success may
be attributed to his ability, the cour-
teous treatment given to hts Gus
toners and the complete line and sub
stantial stock OF goods carried This
has won for him marked placed in
the business world.
Those who assist Mr.. Herman as
salespeople are the Misses Savilla
