: Coal and the Arts.

From the London Chronicle.
An intimate connection between
coal and the arts Is seen In the career
OF Thomas Britton. the celebrated
musical small-coal man." Over his
coal shop in jerusalem passage,
Clerkenwell, he established in 1878 q
musical club. where every Thursday
for nearly forty years was held a
concert, at which Handel and all the
greatest musicians OF the day perform
ed To love OF music Britton Joined
q knowledge OF photography. which
brought him into contact with Harley.
Earl Of Oxford. and other collectors.
But he continued until his death, in
TIA, to sell coal In the streets Of Lon
don, and would frequently join his
noble patrons on q book-hunting ex-

Representative Evans Would Have
One Erected at Arlington.

A great memorial chapel to be erected
in Arlington cemetery is proposed in
bill introduced in the House Of Repre-
sentatives by Representative Evans of
Illinois. The committee on military af-
fairs has the subject under adv.sement
Representative Evans idea Is to erect a
chapel to cost $4,000. and to be of such
size that 1t may serve for funerals of
servants of the nation as well as a me-
mortal Of them.

Another wireless dispatch from the
Mackay- Bennett received today states:
Bodies are In latitude Abs north,
longitude 1887 west. extending many
miles east and west. Mail ships should
give this q wide berth. Medical opinion
Is death has been instantaneous in all
cases. owing to pressure when bodies
drawn down in vortex"
The fact that the Mackay-Bennett has
been able to communicate by wireless
with the Cape Race, N. F.. station shows
that she is laying her course toward
Halifax, as she was without the zone Of
the Cape Race station for several days
and was only able to get into touch with
land through other steamers relaying her
messages.

CURRENCY REFORM PLAN
DENOUNCED BY LUCMNG'
Proposes To Confer on Reserve
Association Too Great Power,
Says Former Congressman

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Detroit Credit Mems association de-
veloped two interesting discussions,
one on the currency reform question
and the other involving the ire com
missioners, the water board and the
insurance companies on the question
OF fire protection In Detroit.
Alfred Lucking severely criticized
the proposed currency reform bill
which has been recommended by the
monetary commission.
If the plan had been proposed by
western farmers II would have been
ridiculed out OF existence by the very
men who are now supporting IT," de-
clared Mr.. Lucking. While the plan
has several indisputable advantages.
to my mind there are one or two ob-
jections which are 30 important that
II should be rejected. II confers hpon
this proposed reserve association In
idescribably large powers, second only
TO the powers of the government. IL
confers upon private institution the
power to issue money, which should
be solely a government function. and
| II also confers the power OF expanding
and contracting the supply OF money
which in the commercial world Is the
power to build or destroy.
1T Is a strange thing that we
should ever have money stringencies
at all. We have a larger circulation
per capita than any other country In
the world. Panics are not caused by
money stringency. however; money
stringency Is simply an effect. Panics
are caused by outrageous imitation
and expansion. wild-catting. over-spec-
ulation in every line. And the rem
edy that is proposed by this measure
Is more expansion. There Is bound
TO be a smash-up when that condition
exists and further expansion as pro-
posed could only delay 1t year or
two and make II worse when II does
come.
While II is recognized by the sup
porters OF this measure that the enor-
nous power contemplated in the bill
must not be permitted to get into the
hands OF q small clique. and every
safeguard has been taken to prevent
control from Wallst., there Is no or,
ganization on earth that Is not dom
mated by two or three master minds
and this reserve association would De

License fee for milk dealers from 81

There are certain expenses attach

Of Commerce bearing the expense, as
IN the previous year. We print set

extra expense OF the milk campaign
should be paid by the city.
