ATLANTIC CITY, December 1, 1906.
The most remarkable winter weather this
resort has ever experienced is that had up
to da te of this winter. The temperature
thus far has been nearly 90 degrees higher
than that of last year. and the result has
been an enlarged visiting contingent at the
several resort hotels which remain open for
the winter. Among the visitors who spent
the latter part of last week and the early
part of this week at the shore was United
States Attorney General VIM. H. Moody. Mr.
Moody was not travelling "incog.," but SO
that nobody would know he was travelling
at all he simply avoided any possibility Of
his secret leaking out by emitting to place
his signature upon the hotel register. In
truth, no one here knew of his presence at
the shore until the day he was ready to
depart for his home in Washington.
The recently organized city troop will
give a ball in the Marlborough-B lenheim
on December IA and nearly a thousand
cards of invitation We're issued today. 1t
will be an elaborate affair." to which many
of the military dignitaries of the state and
nation will be hidden. 1t will be the first
of a series of complimentary affairs under
the auspices of the troop.
The following residents of Washington
have registered at these Atlantic City Ho-
tells during the week:
Hotel Dennis-Mr and Mrs G. T. Lang,
Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Browning, Mrs. ]. K.

LOsAL COAL SUPPLY.
Deliveries From the MineS Slow
Matter of Prices.

While there is no shortage in the coal
supply here now dealers state that the de-
liveries from the mines slow and that
coal is always two weeks and more or tho
road from the mines to this city. The stu
alton, however, is not unusual at this time
of the year, as the orders at the mines are
heavy and are said to keep the supply of
cars very short. The danger of shortage in
coal here would come from heavy SHOWS or
some other cause resulting in a tieup of
the railroads so that the .coal-laden ira ms
could not get through.
Hard coal is being received here in guam
titles from Baltimore and Philadelphia in
big barges carrying from 800 TO 700 tons
each. Several of the barges are brought
here each week. All the soft coal used In
this city, except a. small portion that az
rives by way of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal at Georgetown, is brought by rail
from the Virginia, West Virginia Penn
sylvania and Maryland mihes. The supply
of soft coal on hand is said to be not over
heavy.
Within the past few months the use of
pea coal, the smallest size of hard coal, has
largely increased in this city and an nd
vance of % cents per ton was made yester-
day. That, however, IL is stated. Is the
only advance made in coal prices here, ard
1t is thought that the present prices will
prevail throughout the winter.

war of any Importance they would i'm
medlately, In any circumstances, be at
once modified for national service. They
differ from the volunteers in being a paid
force. In round numbers the militia yeo-
many and volunteers at home and abroad
reach total of 4S0 800 men. The aver
age service of volunteer is just over eight
years at home, and longer abroad.
The origin of the militia while obscure
probably merges with the early train-
bands. In 1892 the militia was "enrolled
py ballot by an act which exists to this
day. whereby. in emergency, the govern
ment has the power for this particula r
force. to put the machinery of conscrip-
tlon into active movement. The volunteer
force had it's origin in the period from 1898
10 !So3 when the country was believed to
be in danger of invasion by NAPOLEON after
the establishment of his camp at Boulogne
A force of volunteers, shown in the esti-
mates of 1884 as of 100000 men, was
raised for local service.

During the peace which followed upon
Waterloo the militia dwindled away and
the volunteers disappeared. In 1852 the mi
MIA was re-established by bill for raising
the general militia by volunteering, the bat-
iot though still legal, being suspended The
volunteer force as it now exists owes it's
origin to wave of patriotic feeling in 1855
3D. In its initial state it was nothing more
than specie of rifle club, grotesquely uni
formed. But a body of serviceable anna
teurs did good service in India in the Sepoy
revolt of 1S57-5S. and slowly throughout
the growing empire necessity welded the
civilian colonistS into self-protective bodies
Volunteer reviews at great centers were
organized and the Zulu and Kaffir wars
demonstrated the value of colonists as SOL
diers. The South African war was their
real achievement Canada had created an
efficient militia for local self-defense and
Australia. New Zealand and India were
spurred into the volunteer movement, of
which South Africa was the eliminating
proof of efficiency. The mother country
supplied also nearly one hundred thousand
amateur soldiers. The system of auxiliary
officers is the weakest point, the home aux
iliary being hopelessly under-officered, and
a reserve of officers being practically nom
existent, and all suffering from Jack Of
training.
A new defense scheme will bind closer the
tie between the militia and regular army, as
it proposes that the militia, or portion of
them, shall be made available for foreign
service, that 10000 shall be incorporated in
the eXpeditionary force, and that selected
units shall train for six months in the year.

In connection with the annual sessions of
the National Guard Association of the
state of Pennsylvania Friday and Saturday
of this week. among the most important
matters to be acted upon is the proposed
law to prohibit the wearing of the uniform
of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Ma
tional Guard by unauthorized persons.
Twice have bills been offered in Congress
covering the gro nd. but neither saw day.
light. after the committee reference. At
the last session Mr.. Morrell was the spon-
scr in reofferng the same act that Repre-
sentative Young presented at a previous
session, The very recent insults to the
men of the national services by proprietors
of hotels, places of amusement, ETC., have
brought the uniform question to the front.
If the uniform is forbidden to any persons
outside the service it will certainly increase
the respect for its wearers.
1.-THE parsimony which leads our opulent
Uncle Sam to sell to the highest bidder
thousands of uniforms and tons of equip
ment" 1t is stated, lis directly responsible
for the present condition The clothing thus
sold to dealers is quickly resold to team
sters, laborers and others. who find it cheap
and serviceable. If this practice was
stopped very quickly we would see the
men in the service proud of their uniform
and showing their pride in their manner of
wearing it. Then will the hotels and
places of amusement gladly hold out the
hand of welcome instead of the ban of re-
fusal.
