The alleged minstrel carnival at the Holt opera house on Friday night of last week was fragrant imposition on the public. It was given by an aggregation of incompetent amateurs from Imperial, and was mess of in antics and crapulous stupidities, az grayated by a rasping concatenation of discords perpetrated by Calithum- plan outfit falsely pretending to be an orchestra. The patronage was gener ous and the outfit obtained a consider able amount of money under the false pretence of giving an entertainment.

WILLCOAL PRICES
BE REDUCED :?
Operators Trying to Keep
Price Up to Winter
Figure

Retail coal dealers are bringing
pressure to bear upon the officials Of
the Philadelphia and Reading Ceal
and Iron Company to have that cor
poration agree to follow the usual
custom and reduce the price Of coal
fifty cents per ton on April 1. Being
the controlling influence, this company
can force all operators to follow it's
course.
For the past month many operators
have been endeavoring to bring about
an agreement among the big coal men
not to make the customary increase
on February 1, and while progress has
been made in the movement nothing
definite has been decided owing to
the fear of public sentiment.
For years it has been the custom to
reduce the price Of coal fifty cents on
April 1, and then increase II ten cents
per month until October 1, when il is
restored to its former figures. 1t has
been found that this reduction stimu-
lates the sale of coal during the dull
period and permits retail dealers to
maintain their help and also give work
to the miners.
To keep the price at its present high
figure during the summer would
mean that few would buy 1t until the
approach of winter, as TO do so would
only be giving money TO the coal COM
panies which might be invested other
wise. This would bring about a prao-
tical shut down Of the mines and
would put the small retail dealers 70
great loss.

OLD RESERVOIR
Water Commissioners Haven't
Decided Wat TO Do With
Rodney ST. Properly

The question Of what shall be done with
the Rodney street reservoir at Eighth and
Rodney streets when it win be abandoned
as a storage basin Tor water. was brought
up at the meeting Of the Board Of Water
commissioners yesterday afternoon. This
reservoir. now that the new basin at tho
Woldin farm is about ready to be placed
In operation, win be abandoned within a
few days and several suggestions were
made by the members of the board as to
what could be done with the Rodney
street property. but nothing definite was
settled upon.
Mr.. Ford suggested that 1t be turned in
TO a park but In view OF the close prox-
unity OF two other parks, this was not
deemed feasible plan.
Mr.. Shaw made two suggestions. One
was that the property be divided into
building lots and sold, the proceeds TO go
10 a fund to be used in the construction
OF a new City Hall. The other was that
the property could be sold and the plot Of
ground bounded by Second and Third and
West and washington streets, be pur-
chased for park purposes It was pointed
out InaI a punnC eNuAAt was tA'A9 A~NA~
ed in that locality and both Mr.. Knox and
Mr.. Ford approved OF the suggestion. The
matter was left open for future consider
alton.
The board granted application for 100
meters and also instructed Chief Engi-
neer Lessen to communicate with manu-
facturers of one-half inch meters. with a
view to getting prices and placing an
order in the near future
Secretary Grohe informed the board that

SPEED ISN'T ALL
IN BASE BALL

It begins to look as II the fast men
are not such an asset to a baseball
club after all. Every man in the
game who has a record as a sprinter
is being shifted from club to club, and
one has taken the count for good. In
baseball the man of fleet foot must
have something else to back It,
Last season the country was being
flooded with opinions on the respec-
tive strength of Browne, Of New York;
Maloney, of Brooklyn; Hoffman, of
the New York Americans, and Harry
Bay, of Cleveland. They were all
tipped as winners of the round the
bases race at Cincinnati, but neither
Of them won, as a minor Lacquer came
In at the last moment and copped the
prize. This year not one Of those
great sprinters is sure of a job with
the team that paid him last summer.
Danny Hoffman has gone to st.
Louis, Browne has been swapped off to
Boston, Bay is to be re 'eased by
Cleveland and Brooklyn is looking for
another man to take the place of
Maloney.
Speed Marvels Have Blown Up.
The speed marvels have blown up.
They always will unless they happen
to have a wallop that gives them a
right to start. The best base stealer
in the world can't be of use unless he
can make the hit that puts him on
first Browne and Hoffman were good
hitters and as long as they could
crack the ball around they held on
but last year they failed woefully
with the willow and then came the
car.
Upon his retirement from baseball
Harry Bay will go on the stage as q
cornet player. He has been doing g
turn in vaudeville for some time ant
! has more than made good. He is alsC
an artist with other musical instru-
ments and has a beautiful voice foi
