COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS 40
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Aug. 31.--The Black Dia.
mond today says: Eastern Goals on
the Chicago market will advance about
Is cents on the average on the list of
September and some OF the western
lump Goals are showing similar up
ward tendency. Coincident with this
Improvement in the market for coarse
Goals the fine coal market is rapidly
approaching stage of semi-demoral-
ization. Prices this week on screen
ings, are off from to 10 cents with a
superabundance on hand. The adj
vance in eastern prices came at an
opportune time because it has been
exceedingly difficult to supply the de-
mand on standard smokeless, spiint
and Hooking Goals. 1t is already ap-
parent that the higher price is not go
ing to influence buying in the least,
since consumers almost invariably buy
on rising market. To certain ex-
tent the strength in the eastern situa-
ton is due to an increased demand
complicated by the continued heavy
absorption of those Goals by the lake
trade. The anthracite market at the
close of August is very much strong
er than it was a week or ten days ago
Buying is very heavy in all quarters
especially in the country"

REV. HAYES LETTER.
Sets Forth His Reasons for His
Change of Faith.

Mason City, sept. 2.-That the Rev
A. Cato Kaye, pastor of the First Goa
gregational church of Oskaloosa, and
who recently mas been appointed TO
the rectorship of the Mason City Epi5-
copal cnurcn, had changed his creed
from the former to the latter denomi-
nation was not known in this city
till Saturday, when, in letter, he
gave his declaration of new faith. Tne
news mas created considerable discus
sion among church people, especially
among Congregationalists. 1t is in
timated in the Rev. Mr.. Hayes COM
mulication that the attempted union
OF the Congregational and Presbyter-
ian churches into one Is mainly the
reason why he has seen fit to change.
He, however, was educated IN Eng
land and the training there may nave
had something to do with 1t. His
father preached for several years in
the old country, though his son is not
native of England. The reasons OF
the Rev. Mr.. Kaye who will take up
his pastorate mere about Oct. l, is in
part as follows: -
Il am entering the Episcopal church
on the grounds of personal preference
and sincere convection and not be
cause have any quarrel with either
the Presbyterials or the Congrega
tionalists, or with the congregation
to which / have ministered.
AS matter of lact, | believe in the
future of the Protestant Episcopal
church in America and hate the fac
tionalism which mas split Christen
dom into a multitude of fragments
whether nominally fraternal or open
ly hostile, ald am dubious of the
stability and value of these affiliations
of churches which are becoming sc
common nowadays. Not but that
there is good in them, for they lay
emphasis on the essential things, but
for me there seems better way, My
decision neither compels my friends
to follow in the same course nor re
fleets upon them for not doing So"

DIED in POVERTY.
Mother of Twenty-one Children Sue
cumbs to Consumption.

7 Des Moines, Iowa, September g.
Mother OF twenty-one, grandmother
Of forty and great grandmother Of
thirty children, Mrs. Elizabeth Din
nell, aged 10, died yesterday amid
want aud poverty in the ramshackle
old building at 1914 East Vine street,
which for many years she called he:
home. Death was due to tuberculo-
sis. Want and poverty were visible
at every glance. In this wretched
house she mad passed the greater
part of her life, struggling to aid her
husband to keep the wolf from the
door and supply the children with
food.
The husband Is a familiar charac-
ter on the east side. He depends for
the support of his family on the CLEAN
ings made from the sale of OIL hot
ties, iron and rubber. With his little
push cart he makes the rounds of all
the alleys on the east side each day
and n the evening returns to tho how
ell known as home, TO cast his small
earnings with those made by his wife
over the wash tub.
tuberculosis runs in the family
Twelve oil the Dinnell children fell
victims to the terrible disease AL al
last the mother, after struggling
against 1t for many years, also yielded
to 1t. All her children have left home.
Many are married, and because OF
tneir own struggle to support fam
lilies, had no time or money to con
tribute to the support of their aget
parents.

GOOD SIZED FAMILY
TwENTY-THREE CHILDREN BORN
TO Mr.. AND MRS. JOHN
HARRIS OF FOSTER.

Abba, Ia, Sept 2.--If there is any
superstition in regard to No. 2S it
does not worry John Bennett Harris
Of Monroe county, for he is the father
of just that number of children. and
he further glories in the fact that
they are all of single birth and by
one wife. Mr.. Harris is a coal miner
and works every day in the mines at
Foster. He says he is a firm believer
in the Roosevelt idea and wishes that
he had many more children. OF the
number ten are now at home. eight are
married and the balance are dead.
Mr.. Harris has had most strenuous
life. For nineteen years he was mu-
stefan in the British army, and during
the time the English had the trouble
with the Beers he let fall the remark
that he hoped the kings men would
be defeated. This remark was carried
to the colonel and Harris was thrown
in the dungeon. While there he
thought the matter out and concluded
to cast his lot with the talons OF the
American eagle rather than under the
claws of the English lion. so when he
was released he came directly to this
country The other day he filed his
declaration of intention of becoming
resident of the American republic.

II is related that Ralph Waldo EN-

was altogether 50 sociable and chatty
that an otherwise tedious journey was
rendered quite cheerful. This mans

Emerson that he resided in San Fran
cisco Mr. Sackett indicated all the
points Of interest along the way, re-
lated n lot Of amusing anecdotes and,
best Of all. was also an attentive lis
tener The consequence was that Mr..
Emerson came to the conclusion that
Mr.. Sacaeit was as charming q man
as4e had ever met, and 1t was In this
positive conviction that he accepted
Mr.. Sackett's invitation to dine with
him Immediately upon their arrival in
San Francisco. The next morning Mr..
Emerson was astonished and annoyed
to find III all the local papers this
startling personal notice: Professor
