JOY and happiness oftentimes
In mothers hearts are brought to dwell
Because "TEETHENIA'S" brought
the bloom
To baby's checks and made it well.
Anodynes only soothe and lull to
sleep. "TEETHENIA" cures the
child, regulates the bowels and saves
the parents many sleepless nights of
care and anxiety.

MRS. MAVERICK IN FRANCE.

 At Rouen.

Paris, July 27-Despite all rumors afloat concerning the movement of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who came over to France as soon as she was set free from her prison in England, she is living in seclusion with her mother. the Baroness De Roques, at Bihorel, quiet little suburb or Rouen Some ~>ports. say she has already sailed for New York while others assert she is still hiding in Paris.
 IL had all been carefully arranged before her departure from England so as to throw the public off her trail. Although the statement was given out today that Mrs. Maybrick had not been seen at the house in the Rouen suburbs for a week. a correspondent saw her walking in the garden with her mother.
 The mother is there under a fic- titious name and she is known as Mime de Mourtent

CAUSE Of POOR
QUALITY OF COAL |
GENERAL .KICK" LEADS TO EX-
PLANTATION BY RETAILERS.
They Say the Strike Did It-When
Work Was Resumed, There was q
Rush to Meet Demand, and Care
Was Not Taken in Cleaning.

Minneapolis, in addition to the rig
,ors of a recOrd-breaking winter, has
been suffering from a supply of dir.
ty' anthracite coal. There has been
general complaint of the quality of the
coal, or, more properly speaking, it's
preparation. Slate has been present
in large quantities and retail dealers
have been obliged to listen to more
emphatic kicks than have been the
rule for years.
In number of instances dealers
have, at their own expense, taken coal
out of cellars Of complaining custom
ers and substituted coal which they
thought would prove more satisfacto-
ry. The poor quality of coal has
caused the retailers no end of trouble,
but they say that they are helpless
and have suffered more than the con-
sumers.
The trouble all dates back to the
strike, the dealers declare. Mines
were idle for months and the working
forces were thoroly disorganized. The
mines were dirty beyond the power
of quick cleaning when work was re-
sumed. When the strike was declared
off, the mine operators were face to
face with coal famine, and coal was
shipped as fast as it could be brought
to the surface. It requires time to pick
over and clean coal Of slate, and this,
t1le lille OpSIdIOIo 1CpOII W IIc uCdl.
ers, they did not have time to do.
So far ais can be learned, practically
every operating company turned out
badly prepared coal, and consumer
and retailer suffered as the result. The
slate formed clinkers and was bad for
CRATES, and while the man of the
hour was shoveling at all hours, he
was not getting the heat due him for
the money expended. The price was
very high and the quality poor. 1t is
charged in some quarters that the Op-
orators were attempting to make good
their losses of the strike by spending
less money on the cleaning up of the
coal. --.-.- -F.
A prominent retail dealer says: "The
conditions have been the same all over
the country. The long shutdown of
the mines made it impossible, I think,
to send out clean coal. Dealers suf-
fered more than the consumers, as
they were obliged to bear the 'brunt
of the complaints. I do not think that
blame can be attached to retailers, as
they were as helpless as the con-
sumers."
1.-The quality of coal received lately
has been improving" said another re-
taller THE supply is growing more
adequate and the mines are getting
down to normal conditions. I think
that the trouble may now be said to
be past, altho complaints thru the
winter were numerous. and l will adj
NIT, were we'll grounded

fortunate to have such a sale in prog
ress at this time of the year This
sale was planned months ago by the
Palace Company, and contract was
made with several Of the leading mills
of the country for big outputs. The
goods are of the highest grade and
were bought before the advance in the
price OF woolens. The man buying
suit at this sale is making an actual
saving of from % to 80 per cent.
The deal for the big stock of wor-
steds is one of the biggest in the his
tory of the country and reflects great
credit on the Palace Clothing Com
