Although one of the main charac-
teristics of the famous DR.. Aber-
nethy was the readiness with which
he could administer sharp and
witty retort when occasion arose, he
was once considerably nonplused

CONGRESSMAN FOSTERS victory.

The newspapers are paying handsome
tributes these days to the services of Con-
gresham y. j. Foster in connection with
educational affairs in the District Of col
umbia An excellent illustration of this
Is afforded by the following from the
Northhcld News.
Representative Foster Of the first dis
irict scored II victory in the House last
week when he secured an amendment TO
the school bill which places the appoint
ing power of the board of education in the
District of Columbia with the supreme
members opposed to him and the House
recognized his victory by appauding when
he WAS called to preside over that body a
day or two later. Representative Foster
was ono of committee of seven appoint
ed by Sneaker Cannon to attend and rep
resent the House OF Representatives. at
the recent Franklin centennial celebration
In Philadelphia. Thus Foster grows and
foulshes in Congress. meeting the expec-
tations and promises OF his most enthusi-
and winning fight for Congress six years
ago. 1t is seldom that a candidate is able

trends in a hot political fight"

NO COAL STRIKE NOW.

Somebody said that there was to be
now that all danger of strike has pass
cd it is difficult to justify any step in
that direction. There is a suspicion
abroad in the land that trouble has been
fomcntcd by the coal trust at the mines
Tor the purpose OF affordng prctcXt or
plausible excuse for another advance in
prices, and it is certain that If strike
had followed, higher prices could not
lavc been avoided.
Just what influence was brought to
bear to avoid strike can not lie stated
definitely at this time, but judging from
he preparations which had been made
to advance prices in different directions
1t is conceivable that the settlement was
something OF a surprise 10 the miners.
r. in spite Of the settlement Of the
:rnutle at the very beginning Of warm
weather and the announcements made
At different times that the coal combine
had sufic stock on hand to meet
The demand for months Their" should be
an advance in prices Of coal, 1t would
look to man up "A tree as though the
operators had been caushi mapping, and
having been defeated in one purpose, had
determined to increase prices whether
or no.
If prices advance now, there VIII he
good ground for the supposition that the
trouble with the miners was helped on
by the coal trust for the purpose of
making way for an advance; for there
IAN be no excuse at This time for an up
ward move in coal rates.
While many people sympathlze with
the miners, the latter were undoubtedly
wise TO avoid a strike at this time, for
al Tia" very beginning OF warm weather
and with tremendous supply Of coal

.antaac. ON the other hand The pre-
iimnarics had hecn handled in such a
way as to work to the advantage OF tho
coal combine, The operators had offered
% arbitrate any questions Of labor and
lours; there had been refusal only t,
arbitrato certain general questions
which had already been passed upon ad
yerscly to the miners by the very com
mission which Was to he appealed to il
he present case. Very naturally the
miners had refused this restricted arb
tration, and substituted a restricted de

TO yield
