LIFE IN A COAL BREAKER
Dark Picture Drawn Of Employment
10 Which Young Boys Ar
Bound.

Practically every boy graduates
from school to the coal breaker before
he II fourteen-some boys IS early ~
ten or eleven years. The coal break
er is q gaunt. tower-like wooden struc-
ture. at the top OF which the coal IL
broken into the required size for use
and then sent in a continuous stream
down chutes which empty into wait
ing coal cars or pockets. The boys
are employed to pick out Of the NOV
ing stream the pieces Of slate As they
appear-straddling the chutes, or sit
ting on small wooden projections At
the side. The atmosphere in the
breaker is SO thick and dark with n.y.
ing coal dust that an attempt to take
q photograph of q couple Of boys at
noon. near a window, resulted In one
indfstinguishable black surface: the
noise is SO great that could not dis
tinguish the words of my guide even
when he put his mouth close to my
ear and shouted the movement and
shaking of the whole structure are at
times SO violent that in some break
ers | have been obliged to hold
tightly to a hand rail for safety. The
boys grow SO cramped from long sit
ting in one position that sometimes
they seize the opportunity to chase
one another around the slippery metal
platforms. And there was not one
superintendent In the four or fve col
lieries that we have happened to visit
who did not. upon our questioning, re-
late at least one tragedy that had
occurred In his experience, Of a boy
who had slipped into a coal pocket
and been smothered, or had been
mangled and killed by falling into the
machinery. When we have asked
whether the slate picking could not
be done by mechanical devices, the
invariable answer has been. Yes, but
the boys are cheaper. Mag

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
DAY OF FLUCTUATIONS.
Prices Decline in Morning, Recover in
 Afternoon.

New York, Oct 1.-The uncertain and confused state of sentiment in the securities market at present was shown by the fluctuations of stocks today Prices declined sharply in the morning, seemingly for no better req son than what were construed as indi- cations that the department of justice was about to make further moves against large corporations. In the afternoon the market recovered, ap- parently for no. reason at all. The whole movement was small one, and the range of prices of most stocks was not more than a point. The only ac- tivity was on the selling side. The market seemed to be altogether in the hands of professional traders.
 Stocks were held at the opening on the report that the federal authorities were soon to take action against the United States Steel corporation, as well as on account of the attitude of the government officials toward the American Tobacco plan of reorganiza tion
 American Tobacco securities were affected by the outspoken opposition to the reorganization plan. The common stock fell nine points on the curb, al though 1t subsequently rallied. The preferred stock and bonds also were heavy.
 Bonds were lower in the forenoon, but turned sharply when the tone of the stock market improved. Total sales, par value, $2,S50,000.

Nationals and the Philadelphia Amer icans
 It was a nerve racking afternoon for heslocal fans, who are strong supporters of the Athletics. for as the time drew on towards the ninth inning and the Giants had been able to turn back every desperate attempt of the Philadelphia players to reach the plate, the crowd had nearly conceded the victory to the Giants. But with Bakers home run that tied the score, the scene changed, hats were tossed in the air, backs were thunped in exuberance of feeling the small boys in the front row executed a dozen diff ferent kinds of war dances and tho whole crowd let out a roar that show ed where their hearts were
 Danny Murphy's hot drive in the eleventh on which Lapp scored was the signal for another tumult of cheers and from then on the crowd had it settled that the game was the Athletics and were happy.
 The Bulletin will continue the same service this afternoon for the game in Philadelphia, getting the news by one relay through New Haven on the Associated Press wire so that the fans can be in toucn with every play at almost the instant it occurs.

4 WARNING 10 MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regard
 ing Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the con- dition of the kidneys
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes chemical analysis of the patients urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are do- ing their work properly, the other or gans cannot be brought back to health and strength.
 When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics Bright's disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1910. in the State of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
 The mild and healing influence of this preparation is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarka ble record of cures.
 If you feel that your kidneys require attention and wish. a sample bottle. write to Dr. Kilner & O., Bingham ton, N. Y. Mention this paper and they will gladly forward it to you absolutely free, by mail.
 Swamp-Root is sold by every drug gist in bottles of two sizes-50c and S1

PHlLADELPHIANS GO WILD
 OVER BASEBALL VICTORY.
Business Men and Office Boys in Snake
 Dance Around City Hall.

Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-A wave of en- thusiasm such as probably never be- fore was witnessed in this city rolled over Philadelphia this afternoon when word of the Athletics second victory over the Giants was flashed to thic city. Thousands of persons had gath cred wherever a score board could be viewed and on the broad plaza of the north side of City hall, where an elec- trical device showed the game play by play, a crowd larger than usually gathers at the baseball parks was as sembled.
 A pail seemed to fall upon them pl!q1 eul LII peIo3s s1uBID 9ul u7qM innine, but this was lifted when Bak- oers home run, tieing the score, was announced in the ninth. When two more runs were scored in the 11th and when finally victory was announc- ed, their enthusiasm krew into a fren- zy. Staid business and professional men joined their office boys and rag ged urchins in a snake dance around City hall, similar to that with which college students celebrate a great football victory.
 Next to joy at the news of the vic tory, which most of the local fans seem to think insures the retention of the worlds championship title here was the gloom over the spiking of Baker by Snodgrass.
