Coal Strike Forerunner

Two months ago, following inspections
by various historical and scientific per-
sons the vicar and church wardens de-
clded to restaclx the bones In the center
OF the crypt on the shelves on the sides.
The remains represent no fewer than
1900 skeletons-a number arrived at by

London. April Rive are living in STIR
ring times and people are shaking their
heads and anticipating dreadful events,
for the opinion Is spreading that the
coal strike was merely a skirmish, a
forerunner Of far more serious troubles.
During the whole time OF the coal
strike all sorts of desperate precautions
were taken in the neighborhood OF the
coal fields against what are plainly called
the impending c4vil war. The workers Of
ENGLAND generally are as pe:ceful a set
Of men as It Is possible 70 md IN any
country, but they have learned the enor-
nous power they hold, and they are
more eagerly listening to the golden
promises Of agitators, who in striking
coIors paint the differences between things
as they are and as they ought TO be.
In anarchistie circles II is clearly
realized that the moment for which the
enemies OF law and order have been
waiting since 1s8s is near at hand. II
there ever is to be an English commune
the time is drawing close.
At the same time the anarchist lead
ers. are disguised with the trsctability
of the English toilers. History can show
no parallel TO the coal strike. Nearly
two million workers out and not single
serious act of violence-nay not an angry
word spoken against monarchy
What are We to do with such peo-
ple?" the anarchists are asking. At the
same time they have by no means given
up the attempt to rouse them, well
knowing that IL they are once reused
they win be far more dangerous than
my others.

TELEPHONE SCHOOL

Academy of Pronunciation" Is
Established for Benefit of
the Operators.

Paris, April 1s-The latest departure
on the part OF the paternal French adj
ministration Is a school OF pronuncia-
ton. 1t is intended for the benefit of
telephone girls whose elocution has been
neglected or whose PROVINCIAL accent
stands in need of correction.
This is a step in the right direction,
for a large number of ''ces demoiselles''
come from regions in France where the
dialect has much to answer for, and to
hear them rolling on the ''r'' and final
syIlables on the telephone is sometimes
amusing and at other times. exasperat-
ing. Perhaps one could more readily
forgive their accent IL the exchange
girls would take more pains to listen TO
the numbers asked for by subscribers.
It is rarely that a day passes when i
am not called TO the telephone need

a number that resembles mine. Mines
are quite often mistaken for foGrs.
thirty-two and TWENTY-FIVE are con-
founded, and many other numerical
combinations give rise to mistakes on
the part Of the telephone miss OF course,
It is not always her fault She has all
sorts Of 'ahonnes'' to deal with, and
sometimes the subscribers accent Is as
bad as her own.

Throat trouble seems to be hereditary
