There viii be no advance in the price
Of anthracite coal to consumers in this
city the present winter
Present prices win prevail unless a
serious labor strike should tie up the
Pennsylvania collieries, or an unusually
severe Writer cause an unprecedented
demand that could not be promptly
met. In either event there would be a
quick and decisive advance, controlled
by the scope Of the tie-up at the mines,
or the length Of the intense cold
weather
AT the present time labor conditions IN
the anthracite field are settled, and
there IS no prospect in sight of any
labor trouble that viii affect the price
Of coal. All Of the anthracite operators
have a large stock of anthracite, and ali
OF their mines are working full time.
The only thing at this time that can IN
any way affect the supply promptly

ing prices is a car shortage on the
trunk lines coming out of the aathra-
cite fields.

THE SIEGE OF WASHINGTON.
European Nations Raise Salaries Of
Their Ambassadors.

Not with armies, not with warships,
but with that which will buy both
money-the nations of Europe are pre-,
pairing their forces for the capture of
Washington. In 1893 Great Britain
raised the rank of her envoy at Wash
ington from minister to ambassador.
France and Germany did likewise the
same year, Russia in 1898, Italy in
1901 and Austria Hungary in 1892.
Mexico, Brazil and Japan followed the
example OF the European powers
Increased rank requires better hous.
ing, and foreign nations have spent
much since 1898 in buying and build
ing embassies at Washington for their
representatives. Some of these are
splendid enough to be worthy of rank
ing with many of Europe's palaces.
1t was then left for Great Britain to
discover that her ambassador ought to
be paid as much as the president of
the United States, and Mr.. Bryce is to
receive $4,000 year, $4,000 more
than his predecessor. AS in 1893 Ger
many followed Britain's lead, so now
her ambassadors salary has been
raised $4,000. Undoubtedly the repre-
sentatives of other nations have felt
the pinch of prosperity and would be
glad to receive an increase of salary.
The more money the embassies and
legations have to spend the better it
will be for the shopkeepers of Wash
ington. The diplomatic benefits are
not SO obvious.

Joke on Palmetto State,

Representative Adamson of Georgia
was rubbing it in on Representative
Johnson of South Carolina, and told
this story about the red hills of the
Palmetto state:
why, Johnson, South Carolina land,
or most of it, is too poor to even raise
a difficulty on. I heard Of an old fell
low over there who was greatly wor-
ried about his neighbours cattle get
ting into his pasture. His own cattle
didn't get half enough to keep them
alive, and the old fellow didn't see
how he could afford to let his neigh.
boris cattle share it with them.
''The old man went to his neighbor
and made complaint. He said he was
not hunting trouble, but that his cat
tie must stay at home.
Neighbour was the reply, I am
sorry my cattle are worrying you and
I hate to see them die, but if you will
just let them stay in your pasture two
days they will starve to death. Just
put up the fence and keep them in and
they'll starve as sure as you live"

All Listen to Proctor.

Probably the most remarkable voice
in the senate is that of the senior Yer.
mont senator, Redfield Proctor. It has
been called boiler factory voice, but
that description does not begin to do it
justice. When Mr.. Proctor speaks
every senator in the chamber listens;
he cannot help himself. The only way
he can avoid hearing what he says is
by leaving the building. A faint whis.
per from Proctor can be heard distinct
~ in the press gallery. His voice is a
deep bass and is preceded generally
by low rumbling sound that seems to
come from some far-away subcellar in
his anatomy. Then the words pour
forth with great rapidity with the
Earring force of small thunder claps.

Washinqtonians Not Curious.

Very often in Washington during the
season there are elaborate weddings at
the fashionable churches. In other
cities, New York, for example, squads
of police have been detailed to keep
back the curious women who huddle
in front of the churches when these
notable weddings are scheduled, for
the purpose Of catching view of the
brides and bridesmaids raiment.
Washington women don't go near
the churches at such times. There is
never any bother with crowds in front
of the churches. When the bride. and
her women are in the very act of STEP
ping from their carriages at a big
wedding even the darkies on the street
scarcely pause to have look. j
1t isn't that rubbering is one of the
seven deadly sins in that town, any
more than it is anywhere else. They
simply don't care in Washington,
that's all.

HIGH PLAY IN >WASHINGToN.
Heavy Gambling a Part Of Social Life
OF the City.

Probably in no other city in America
does this nightly card playing take on
so much of the atmosphere of the
Riviera as in Washington. There are
many foreigners there, and they play
the game with that picturesque fever
lshness which is typical Of their nature
and training. The great majority of
foreign attaches are not equipped
financially for the exactions of the
game, but their position compels them
to accept every invitation.
Their argument-while attacked by
many as one showing lack of moral
courage-ls quite satisfactory to them.
They say they were not sent to this
country to play the part of scholarly
recluse. They must be in evidence at
all smart functions. What would be
thought OF them, they ask, if they
sternly refused to play bridge for
money when the world they move in,
and the world they represent, consid-
ers it the right thing to do?
Their ministers play! Members Of
the cabinet play! They scarcely feel
like directing to themselves and to
their legations the ridicule and criti-
clsm which would follow the guest who
slips away between dinner and bridge.
so they play. If they lose on their
small incomes it becomes necessary
Tor them to recoup, and the only way
TO do this is to go to more bridge
parties.
Washington is prominently a city
OF the leisure classes, and the almost
continuous social season there raises
bridge to its most glittering height

EVEN IF. DISCOURAGED
TRY On. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM. I
The Pills Have Cured tho Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even in
Advanced STAGES,

Rheumatism is a painful inf1amma-
ton of the muscles or of the coverings
OF the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency Of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for q time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this. purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Golf
st., Auburn, Me-, says: 81 had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. I was
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
fainting spells, falling down when at
over. My head ached continuously for
five years.
"About two years ago began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became
so lame I could hardly walk. My joints
were swollen and panied me terribly.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills were rec
commended to me by a friend, after I had
