Passing Of Man Once Famous as a
Tenor in Europe

ALLENTOWN. Pa. July 24.-Once a
great song genius of Europe, but in this
country only a character made unique by
disappointment. Charles Weiss died IN
the county poOrhouse yesterday.
Before becoming a ward of the county
Weiss had lived the life of a hermit on
the Lehigh mountains for years.
Born IN Germany seventy-nine years ago
Weiss came of a prominent family and
he associated with the most brilliant must
cal geniuses of that country. He was
personal friend of Mendessohn. He was
possessed of fine tenor voice and he sang
in grand opera in all the principal cities
of Europe. Among his intimates were
Standigl. the basso who sang the part Of
Elijah when that oratoria was first pro-
duced In England; Joanna Wagner, in
her day the greatest alto in Germany, and
Herr Steger the great German tenor.
Weiss came to this country to seek his
fortune. He never found 1t, and, disap-
pointed. he retired to the mountains of Lee
high and became a hermit.

RAISE COAL PRICES
PHILADELPHIA DEALERS WILL
MAKE SHARP ADVANCE.

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-The retail
prices for coal of all kinds will be raised
% cents ton In this city on September 1.
On that date domestic sizes Of anchracite
will cost 81 q ton. pea COAL $4.75, and small
err steam sizes 50. % to $3.50. Twenty-Five
cents is to be put on bituminous coal, which
now sells at about $3.50 short ton. The
increase was announced as the result of
an investigation made by a committee Of
the local coal exchange. The report Of
the committee says that the increase Is
recommended because wages and salaries
have been materially increased and other
items of expense that enter into the con-
duct of the retail coal business have also
risen.
Expenses Increasing.
For instance" continues the report
oats are now costing so cents a bushel
against an average cost Of 40 cents bushel
in 1905; wages have been advanced 10 per
cent; the cost Of horses has advanced about
1915 per cent, and the cost OF harness.
horseshoeing. wagon repairs and other
items OF expense are from "a to SO per
cent higher than formerly"
The committee declared that 1t also
found that the coal of recent years is not
SO well prepared as formerly, thereby in
creasing the cost of handling to the dealer -
uf liner Hore' hi'estisatlon revealed the
fact. according to the report, that many
retail coal merchants have been doing
business at loss during the last year. It
was stated that sixteen coal men were
actually forced to the WALL two Of them
this week.
Immense Coal Find.
HAZLETON. Pa. July 24.-The Lehigh
Valley Coal Company has opened what is
believed to be the largest stripping in the
world. 1t is located at Lattimer, and the
coal is in a solid bed 1900 feet wide, 80
feet in thickness and extends from Latti-
mer to Drifton at least six miles. 1t Is
estimated that were the company to take
out 500 tons daily it would require $50 years
to exhaust the supply.

JAPANESE ARE scHEMING.
Details Of Alleged Anti-Dynasti
Movement In Southern China.

ST. PETERSBURG, July A.-The Novoe
Vremya today publishes details of an al
legged anti-dynastic movement in southern
China. ascribing it to Japanese instigators,
who. the paper says. are busily preparing
for the Manchu dynasty IN China the same
fate which has Just overtaken the Emperor
of Korea.
Continuing. the paper says that in contra
vention to the supplementary provisions of
the China-Japanese treaty of 1905. defining
the regions where foreigners, including
Japanese. shall be permitted to reside. Jap
anese agents have worked their way into
the most remote corners Of the empire.
The keynote Of Japanese intrigue consists
in assuring the Chinese that Japan Is their
protector against the nations of the west,
and at the same time reassuring the west
erners that Japan Is their vanguard against
the Chinese peril.
The apprehensions Of the Novoe Vremya
regarding the reopenng of the far eastern
question are fully shared in the Russian
military circles where the steady arma-
ment of China and Japan is viewed with
alarm This movement Is regarded as
primarily menacing to the remnant of Rus
sian possessions on the Pacific.
