A SCHOOL TALK.

There are ten graduates this year.
The commencement exercises will be
held as usual in X. of p. Hall on the
evening of June IA. In the afternoon
and evening of June 10 all of the de-
partments will have an exhibit of
their work in school No. 1. Last
year the exhibit was a fine one and
a credit to teachers and scholars and
was well attended by relatives and
friends of the scholars, which was
very gratifying to the teachers who
work very faithful in their endeavor
to bring them up to the standard.
The pupils also work hard and it is
hut right that their parents and
friends should show an interest in
their work, but up till last year they
were slow in making their appear
ance at the school on the day of the
exhibit. 1t then proved a double
pleasure to those who attended for
1t was like a social and friend met
friend and held converse, chatting
not only about the work of the pupils
but on many other subjects.
We have urged the people each
year in these columns to not fail tC
attend and we again urge them to &c
and hope for a larger attendance thar
last year.

Coal Operator Accuses Cassatt Of
Unfair Combination.

PHILAD1L-HIA, May 26. 1.-THE
Pennsylvania railroad put me out OF
business. | was frozen out through
orders. Somebody way up gave those
ORDERS dramatically cried f. Albert
Won Boyneburgh, an Independent Goa
operator. before the interstate com
merce commission.
"You believe. then, that officials of
the road high up gave those orders?'
asked William A. Glasgow, Jr., coun-
sci for the commission.
~ do. l believe Alexander J. Cas-
satt is the nan responsible. l also be-
lieve that he controls the Reading. the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western
railroads through the community of in
terest plan. That combination is what
has caused all these big favored coal
companies to grow up and crush out
the Independent operator"
The witness said that coal shipped In
train loads over the Pennsylvania rail-
road by the Berwind- White coal COM
pany is not weighed. 1t is simply
billed at a 10 per cent advance on the
marked capacity. No other operator
is so favored. That was another of the
facts developed before the interstate
commerce commission, tending to show
that some coal companies get an adj
vantage over competitors. 1t a also
shown that the Berwind-W White got
privileges in unloading coal in New
York harbor that no other company
enjoys.
Several more Pennsylvania railroad
men with coal stock, some of which
cost them nothing, were discovered. A
newcomer is NJ. A. Reeves, a clerk in
the office of Vice President Pugh.
