Time was when children on Christ

the theater as to their gifts from the

one especially devoted to the children,
and the youngsters always packed the
house from top to bottom with laugh

just as large and happy an audience

Miss Margaret Ang1in deserves credit
no less for the splendid drilling of her
company than for the excellence of her
performance of Lady Windermere's

an artistic cleverness that could not
fail to make it's appeal. And 1t is still

EFFECT OF THE WAR
ON The COAST TRADE

New York, Aug. 10.-The European
war has caused unprecedented condi-
lions in the American export coal trade
according to the Black Diamond the
official organ of the coal interests. The
result, the paper says, will be that the
trend of coal trade affairs, outwardly
at last, will be determined by the buy
ers rather than by the producers.
Inquiries are received from South
America for enough coal to tide over
the period of the war. Those who have
had the opportunity OF coming to the
Australian, the Japanese or the Unit
ed States market are electing to buy
in the United States This is because
the coal brought from Australia and
Japan would be subject to seizure be-
cause one is a British colony and Japan
may become an English ally.
