NO REDUCTION
COAL MEN DO NOT FOLLOW Gus
TOM THIS SUMMER.
II Is Declared There Is Scarcity Of
Cars 10 Haul Fuel From
the Mines.

For several seasons the coal deal
ers of the city have offered reduced
rates on coal during the hot months
to stimulate people to fill their coal
houses early, but at their meeting
Monday night this action was no;
done this summer. They are waiting
until the mines can be heard from
before they will reduce prices.
The mines have ample coal and
good labor conditions but there is a
scarcity of cars to haul the coal II is
claimed. The railroads have not been
able to furnish as many cars as are
needed but that is not their fault be-
cause the foundries can not turn out
cars fast enough to supply the de,
mand OF the railroads.
II is probable that no reduction
will come until September unless
the situation radically changes.

SMALL SHOOTERS
SCARCE SINCE CHINATOWN HAS

Made 20 Feel Effect OF tho
Earthquake.

The most appalling result of the
San Francisco earthquake was re-
yeaicd today. II Is a deep, liyid
wound In the hearts OF the small boys
Of America. When Chinatown was
destroyed in San Francisco, the chief
mandatory OF fireworks in this
country VAS swept out of existence
and the consequence has been to
make fireworks OF the smaller variety
scarce exceedingly and prices much
higher than last, year.
The Chinese In Chinatown at San
Francisco manufactured the small
packages OF FIRE crackers. Of which
moro are sod than any other kind.
Dealers hardly could secure any ar
all and thUse they have are almost be-
yond reach OF the small boys pocket
book.
The sale OF fireworks today Is hold
Ing well up with last year. But the
steady pressure OF public opinion
against the dangerous kind is gradu-
ally causing a decline In the amount
OF fire works sold. Noting that fact,
a dealer remarked today: There are
twice as much fireworks sold Christ
mas as on the Fourth OF July. In
fact, the people practically have trans
feirei the proper observance of the
Fourth of July to Christmas.

Women of Ancient Rome,

I'VE are assured by Seneca" says
the historian Inge, that there were
women in ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but by the
husbands they had had. Juvenal tells
Of one woman who had married eight
husbands in five years. Divorce was
granted on the slightest pretext. Many
separated merely from love of change,
disdaining to give any reason, like
.Emilius Paulus, who told his friends
that he knew best where his shoes
pinched him. Rich wives We're not
much sought after by wise men, Their
complete emancipation made them diff
ficult to manage. Accordingly, since
both rich and poor wives We're Obiec-
tionabie, the large majority of men
never married at all. In most cases Il
Roman bridegroom knew practiG Wy
nothing of his vifes character until
after maria Marriage for the Ro-
man woman meant transition from
rigid seclusion to almost unbounded
liberty. She appeared as matter Of
course at her husbands table whether
he had company or not She could go
whore she liked, either to the temples os
Isis and Scraps or to the circus and
amphitheater. She had her own troops
of slaves. over whom she ruled without
interference"
