The anthracite coal trust saw fit to adj
vance the price of its product rs cents a
ton on December Ist, and as the severe
winter compels the people to use an
abundance of this article of fuel they
either pay the price demanded or do with
out, which is one of the privileges en-
joyed by those living under a system of
government dominated by corporate
wealth. A commentator sums the situa-
ton up with the statement that the coal
trust knows it can get the additional rs
cents ton for its product, so it increases
the price. The people have to have coal
The trust adds nothing to the wages of
its miners, and the increase of rs cents
per ton means an additional profit to the
trust. There is no competition in the
anthracite coal business. The trust con-
trolls most of the mines and all of the
avenues of distribution. If the miners
strike for aliving wage the trust magnates
merely starve the miners into submission
and then make the public pay the loss. If
it decides to meet the demands of the
miners it merely adds the increased
wages to the price the consumer must
pay. When it is not engaged in robbing
the miners it is robbing the public, and
most of the time it is deliberately robbing
both. 1t defes national and state laws,
knowing full well that it has nothing to
fear at Washington, and nothing to fear
from the authorities of the most corrupt
state government in the Union-Penu-
sylvania. It's insolence is colossal, its
greed unbounded and its opportunities
immense.

The title of apostolic majesty" is

Hungary was ruled by dukes from
its conquest by the Magyars to the
year 1000. the regal title being assumed
first by Walk, whose education had

established Christianity. applied for
and received from Pope Sylvester II.
the title of apostolic king" was

The title was renewed by Clement
XIII. in 175S and, though abolished in
1S4S. was reassumed as apostolic mai
-esty" in 1851 and restricted in 1868 to
the Austrian emperor in his character

President Roosevelt gave the faithful

President Roosevelt gave the faithful"
hard jolt this week by his unexpected
action in selecting w. Hall Harris for the
Postmastership of Baltimore. Mr.. Harris
is considered by the orgaization to be a
rank outsider, and as such entitled to
none of the good things to be handed
around in payment for services rendered.
He had been unthought of by the repub-
lican party leaders for the place, the
selection being made without their con-
sent, or knowledge even, and they look
upon it as direct slap in the face by the
President. 1t would seem to indicate
that Mr.. Roosevelt intends to dispense
Federal patronage in Maryland and else
where much as he pleases, and without
regard to the wishes of the supposed party
bosses.

BONE STRUCTURE.
The Compact and the spongy Kind
and Their Strength.


The Compact and the sponsy Kind
and Their Strength.
Bone is of two kinds, compact and
spongy. AS the. result of careful ex-
periments it has been shown that COM
pact bone is twice as strong as oak,
considered simply as building mate
rial In the shaft of long bone it is
in reality much stronger than this, for
it is arranged on the advantageous
principle of the hollow pillar, which
gives the fullest resisting power with
the least possible expenditure of sub
stance.
The delicate layers and bars Of
spongy bone are arranged on the prin-
ciple of an arch, enabling very consid-
cradle pressures to be resisted. 1t was
found that a cubic inch of this tissue
taken from the lower end of the thigh
bone and weighing only fifty-four
grains was quite uninjured by dead
weight of AS pounds.
The curved bones which roof in the
skull are constructed to resist great
pressure, while they check the trans
mission of shocks to the brain. Ar
ranged in the form Of a dome, they
consist : of compact bones, with a
spongy layer between. These are
known as tables of the skull. The
outer and inner tables are immensely
strong, while the middle table serves
as buffer by which the force of blows
Is distributed.

AFFECTION IN JAPAN.

Rule, Not Outspol<en.

Rule, Not OutspoI<en.l
Public demonstration Of affection is
most repugnant to the good taste Of
the Japanese, and it is the absence of
this which is so generally mistaken
for lack of genuine feeling. / recall
one man who was so devoted to his
mother Though l doubt whether he
could ever have been said to have
talked about her) that when she died,
while he was abroad, his depression
was so profound that my husband
watched him with anxiety lest he
should commit suicide. The stoical
training may render more unsympa-
thetic coarse nature, but repression
to the refined soul brings an exquisite
capacity for pain scarcely conceivable
by those who are free to give utter
ance to every emotion.
Another man said to me, II rarely
speak Of my mother, for foreigner
does not understand that a Japanese
mother may be just as dear to her son
as his to him and by the Japanese it
is not expected that one should utter
ones deepest feeling" That same
son tainted with grief when his moth
err died and when consciousness re-
turned rose to make light of little
dizziness" without reference to its
cause. To this day, whenever he goes
from home, he carries with him his
mothers letters, mounted on a beauti-
full roll of ivory and brocade, and on
the anniversary of her passing beyond
his mortal ken quietly devotes a por-
ton of the day to meditation and spe-
cial thought of her. Even to his wife.
despite the closest bond of love, he
says not, This is the day Of my moth

scenic equipment which has made it
famous as the most beautiful stage spec
tacle ever produced, and the enormous

for a second two weeks. engagement,

NEW YEARS MATINEE.
Mr.. Lorimer and his company return
confident of the heartiest of receptions
from the playgoing public of Baltimore
and environment, whose seal of approval
has already been set upon their work.
The story of the shepherd boy who
afterward became king of Israel, as woven
into this romantic. drama. is one of the
strongest and most appealing that has
been written into drama in modern
years, and this together with the superb
oriental setting of the piece and the
splendid organization presenting the
drama made such deep Impression upon
the patrons of the Academy during Mr..
Lorimer's former engagement that the
attendance broke all records of the
theatre. Hundreds of people were turn
ed away when there were no more seats
to be sold. Parties from out of town who
had neglected to order seats in advance
found it necessary to remain over another
night, and they returned home with the
comfortable feeling that they had been
amply compensated for prolonging their
stay. Since the announcement of Mr..
Lorimer's return engagement surprising
number of letters have been received from
out of town requesting seat reservations
for the coming visit.
Since leaving Baltimore "The Shep-
herd King has won cordial recognition
in Philadelphia aud Brooklyn. The
clergy and dramatic critics of those cities
have concurred in the opinions already
expressed as to the beauty, truthfulness,
uplifting influence and dramatic value of
the. piece. In Philadelphia so great an
impression was made that Mr.. Lorimer
and company were given what would
have been called in olden times '.the
freedom ofthe city," and they were en-
tertained at banquet presided over by
Mayor Weaver.
Mr.. Lorimer's work in the role of
David continues to win enthusiastic APP
probation. His reputation now in FIVE of
the largest cities of the country is that of
a star Of the first magnitude, while his
supporting principals. Edward Mackey,
Charles Kent, May Buckley, Nellette
Reed and others have attracted but little
less attention.
