The Coal Market.

The Chicago market for last week
had a decidedly better tone in the most
important particulars, although it is a
little easier in other regards. The
railroads have been taking lump coal
more freely and this has increased the
output of that material This has nat.
urally resulted in an increased supply
of screenings. Whereas therefore the
market of lump is improved, the mar
ket for screening has eased a fraction
and the stress, noted a week ago. has
disappeared. At the same time the
opening of the season of navigation on
the lakes has taken a large percentas &c
of the eastern coal TO those ports, witt
resultant decrease in the Chicago
market. The western mines. being left
almost in control of the western Situ
alton, have been able to command bet
ter prices for their product and also t.
keep the market in hand much better
This result has been accomplished
mainly by a rigid surveillance of pro
ductiOn to keep it within the demands
of the current trade 1t is evident that
any relaxation in this policy will i'm
mediately result in a renewal of con
gestion and weak prices. This is par
ticularly true of the market for tht
strictly bituminous Goals The demand
has held steady, as a result of the IN
seasOnable weather. This has attract
ed good deal of coal to Chicago an
much is now coming in. Producers
however, have kept below rather thai
above normal requirements and, in tn,
event of a change in temperature WI
not have so much to sacrifice.
The anthracite trade has been fair,
good, especially for the last week il
April, but buying on the May price
has not started. Deliveries in Chicag
have been hindered somewhat by tract
elevation work on the belt lines. COX
is still easier and it does not seem thG
the bottom has been reached on spa
delivery, although prices on contral
have been holding reasonably firm.

More Democratic Thunder.

The decision of the department OF
justice to prosecute the watch trust Is
the latest illustration of the familiar
truism that Mr.. Roosevelt would have
proven a tame sort of a president did
he not draw perennial aid and inspir
alton from the democrats.
Though in the last congress Repre-
sentative Henry T, Rainey, of the
twentieth district, was the only Dem }
crat from Illinois, he alone obtained
the evidence upon which the propos ed
suit is to be brought against an oppres
sive trust which has one of its prin
cipal headquarters in this state
Not one of his twenty-four repubI;
can colleagues lifted finger to dis
turb the combine in its levy of tribute
on the American who wants to know
the time of day.
Through the efforts of Mr. Rainey i
was made familiar in the congresSionn
campaign of last year that one MAJ
had been making money by buying. il
England, American watches for $7.9'
and bringing them back to this cou;l
try, where the retail price for the same
timepieces was fixed by the trust 3
$10.5S.
The democratic campaign documel
in which it was exploited that thC
trust was gOuging the American o
moderate means out of $3.50 on hi

Boleroa and blouses of velvet, and, in
fact, any small articles fashioned of this

STATE NURSES APPOINT
FEDERATION DELEGATES.

A special meeting Of the executive board
of the State Nurses Association was held
in the Free Public Library yesterday
afternoon. with Mrs. darcy Stephen, the
president. presiding.
The purpose OF the meeting was to dis
cuss certain amendments to the bill which
the association is preparing TO Introduce
in the Legislature.
One question which was discussed with
great interest was that of the length OF
hospital training to be required before a
graduate nurse could become a registered
nurse" 1t was decided to interview a
number of superintendent of hospital
training schools and ascertain their opin-
ions as to the advisability of q three-year
course instead of two.
Tho annual meeting of the organization
will take place in December, and the pres
ent executive board called yesterdays
meeting to ak over matters with which
the new officers will have to be familiar.

SOME SCHOOL DRESSES.

For school wear the regulation sailor
suit is most satisfactory. Mohair, serge
and flannel make up well in this style. For
a brunette a sailor suit of garnet serge,
trimmed with narrow bands and tie of
black silk, would be becoming, while a
blonde would look especially we'll in a suit
of navy blue with white braid or brown
with red braid and tie. Dainty white turn
over collars of linen or embroidery add to
the attractiveness of dark suits, says The
Circle. An ample supply should be in
cluded in the outfit.
The dress for Sundays and calling may
be fashioned of cashmere, nuns yelling or
one of the pretty figured silks. An old
rose or Alice-blue cashmere or silk made
in jumper style over a dainty lingerie
waist should be attractive and becoming to
youthful figures.
The white dress for evening wear may
be very simply made. Dotted swiss, China
silk and nuns yelling make very pretty
and attractive dresses, 1t is we'll to avoid
overtrimming them. A young girl is all
ways at her best in a simple gown Of
white tastefully planned. but not expen-
Sively trimmed. White gloves in elbow
length and some pretty rihbons for hair
and waist must be kept to use with the
evening dress.

appeal has been most urgent, | do not

Board Won't Intercede in

The resignation Of Miss Caroline
Schneider, assistant at the Training School
for Nurses, was accepted by the Board of
Health last night without comment, and
thus an incident that stirred local hospital
circles for some time eliminated.

because the next regular meeting date
falls on election day. The change of
date made it impossible for Dr.. Herman

recently fined $50 by Judge David IT,. How
ell. in the First Criminal Court, for al
lowing his little son Abraham to play OH
the street while the child was suffering
from scarlet fever, despite the fact that
there was a placard on the house and the
man was repeatedly warned, appeared be-
fore the board last night and pleaded that
the commissioners intercede for him in
an effort to nave the fine RENTED. Be-
cause Of the aggravating circumstances of
the case the commissioners were unani-
nous in their decision that the fine should
stand, and will not ask Judge Howeil TO
roscind his decision.
Goldman's home was visited several
times by health inspectors, who warned
him when the child became convalescent to
keep him within the house until the card
was removed. He took the child on Il
tour OF inspection through the stores on
the 'lHill." Previous to his arrest the
health officer found 1t necessary to visit
the house every day to see that the child
was kept in.
Despite the fact that the owners OF the
building have raised the rental OF the Of
fees OF the Department OF Public Health
to $1,000 a year, the board decided TO taKe
o further lease of three years on the
premises.

with velvet roses, banded with a silver

plumes which touch the shoulders Such

Making friends and keeping friends
are very different propositions.
Anyone can do the former, but hos
who wish to do the latter find that
most of their time must be spent in
making allowances for the shortcom-
ings of Others and striving to keep
their own faults in the background.
And these things are fan from easy
unless ones disposition is peculiarly
sweet.
Some people make enemies nearly
every day. and win continue to do so
until they die.
Why? Because they are convinced
that they can make 70 mistake; that
their opinions are right. and should al
ways be accepted by others, and be-
cause they believe tina they should be
the leaders of any project in which
they happen to be interested.
Their smiles of superiority cause dis
like, even before their aggressive quail
ties are discovered.

WOMAN AND HER POCKET.

Why cannot female ingenuity devise
some receptacle, approPed of by fashion,
asks the Onlooker, which will enable its
wearer to bestow a small article, say a
penny or a railway ticket or a powder
puff, with some degree of certainty of
being able to find it when wanted at five
minutes notice?
When one is waiting at the train gate,
the inevitable Hurried female is sure to
steam up, who, on being asked to show
her ticket, fumbles about in an over
crowded r%eticule. almost disrobes to reach
an inaccessible pocket, and in the end dis
covers that she has mislaid 1t between the
palm of her hand and her glove, which
has to be removed laboriously.
The time wasted may make all the differ
epce between catching and losing an ex-
press.
