SITUATION IN COAL TRADE.
Dealers Talk of Holding Meeting to
Discuss Conditions.

There was not much change In the local
coal situation today. except that certain OF
the dealers reported that their stock OF
black diamonds is getting low. Coal mer-
chants still refuse to sell larger quantities
than half-ton lots, but some of them ex-
press the belief that the strike will be but
short-lived There is some talk of the coal
dealers holding meeting, as the Baltimore
dealers did. for the purpose of discussing
the possibilities of the condition confronting
them. and to make an effort to find means
for prevention of embarrassment to them
selves in filing the orders of their custom
ers. The outcome of the meeting of the
anthracite coal operators, to be held in
New York Thursday, is looked forward to
with great interest. 1t Is understood that
the local dealers will abide by the decisions
reached by the big operators as to prices.
etc. There Is plenty of coal on hand for
the immediate wants Of consumers

ODD ACCIDENTS At
BASE BALL GAMES
Jimmy Conner Bitten by a Gar.
ter Snake-Trick Turned on
Old Tom Tucker.
By HUGH s. FULLERTON

One of the remarkable things about base
ball is the scarcity of accidents to players
In the two ma Jor leagues alone there are 800
ball players. playing 10 days year a.
least, often five or six hours a day. counting
practice. and yet IL even one is hurt 1t Is
heralded all over the country.
There are perhaps 100000 people In the
United States who play bali of some form
every day from April TO the middle OF Octo-
ber-that Is. one person in every eighty
handles a bali during the day-and at the
least estimate there are 1900 games of ball
played every day in summer. and the se-
rious accidents do not average twenty-five
to the season. The number of deaths re-
ported Tor that have seen reported in the
last ten years are fourteen-a little over one
to the year.
Broken fingers spike wounds. bruises from
batted balls and pitched balls, hard raps In
the head are numerous enough. but the
wonder Is that there are not more serious
injuries. Blood poisoning from leg wounds.
in cases where the colored stockings are
driven into the legs of the players. is the
most dreaded form of accident-not even
barring collisions between players.

Bill Dahlen's Steal.

Bill Dahlen came near ending his base ball
career In q strange way. He was at third.
with Lange at bat and started to steal
home. coming at top speed the pitcher
was winding UP to pitch. The game was
against New York, and Roger Bresnahan,
len relied on LANCE to help him. and LANCE
did, stepping backward as if to avoid the
pitch just as Dahlen carone6 across the
plate in safety. The steal cost him dear,
for LANCE stepped on his leg and shinbone
cut resulted in blood poisoning, which came
near costing him a leg.

BLEAK SHETLAND.
Its swarms of Sea GuIls and It's Lone
Tree.


Tree.
Up a little lane off Lerwick's one
street there is q garden. At least, it is
nm inclosed space. In the middle OF
this space there is q tree. 1t Is not q
very tall tree; you could, In fact, toss
a biscuit over its branches, but still 1t
Is tree-the only tree In Shetland.
And Shetland Is proud Of 1t. Children
who are brought for the first time to
see the wonders of one streeted Ler-
wick are shown this tree. This Is not
fiction. 1t Is the only tree in Shetland.
AS there are no trees In Shetland,
there are no birds, except, OF course,
the sea gulls, which you can number
by the thousand. The sea gulls are the
sparrows OF Lerwick, and, as such,
they have greater share In the towns
life than have the sparrows of London.
In the morning time you will note that
a sea gull sits on every chimney pot
roof in the town.
The air Is full Of their strange, high,
plaintive, haunting cries. Their sad,
shrill, long drawn cries are to Lerwick
as the chattering of sparrows or the
cawing of rocks are to us in England.
Every house has its own familiar sea
gulls and every street its own band Of
sea gulls. They never mix. The chill
dren in each house have a pet name for
their own particular sea gulls. and,
having called them to them by those
names, they feed them every day. And
each sea gull knows what Is meant for
him. No sea gull attached to one house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the house next door. He does not
dare; the other gulls would kill him.
So oil day long the sea gulls hover and
call over the roofs of Lerwlck. The
people of the town, If they come across
q little pile Of rice laid upon the road
way, step over 1t with care. They
know that 1t Is placed there for some
sea gull And at night the sea gulls
leave their own appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places OH the rocks of the Isle
of Noss.-London Express.
