Juaf1a Martinez stared out in terror,

"Answer!"
But the command had to be repeated
several times before the woman could

until, as Tim slowly swung back the door,
the wan green light from the adjoining
room entered it, And now, as Brown lin
gered beside the door, the watchers could
see the gray head of Mrs. Martinez sunk
in its pillow; then Browns tall, shadowy
form hid it from them as he crossed the
threshold and stole over to the foot of
the bed. There, for taut minute, he
waited. 1t was evident that the old wo-
mans eyes were closed-that she had
neither seen nor heard him. Suddenly he

sepulchral voice, shiver ran through the

DEDICATION OF WELCOME HALL.

Welcome Hall is a sort of social

Gently built through the efforts of Rev.
G. w. Camp, pastor of the church, and
his estimable helpmate, aided by the
Presbyterians of the city and others
who feel that "the colored people ought
to have place of their own" of this
character.
Among the speakers were John A.
Marquis, moderator of the Presbyter-
ian general assembly; B. H. Schriber,
Esq, James Sydam, Rev Geo. w.
Camp and Bishop C. B. Mitchell of
the M. E. church, who was the prin-
cipal speaker, who said some good
things, and some that might with much
propriety been left unsaid.
After the services the people were
invited to inspect the building of three
stories, that is admirably arranged for
the purpose of filling the long-felt want
it is supposed to supply. -

Controlling tho Coal Industry

1T is to be expected, perhaps, that those in
l terests adversely affected by the govern
ment's program for regulating the price at
which coal should be sold at the mines and
again at the bin, should find means Of alarm
ing the country over the prospect. We hear
to-day Of hundreds of mines which will be
closed down because the mine price is too
low. We heard yesterday Of operators who
curtaied the volume of their coal because
they have no interest in marketing their
product without profit. The day before
NO heard OF 100000 coal miners who threat
cned to quit work unless they receive moro
money.
These are disquieting reports. II true,
they threaten our national efficiency. If the
supply OF coal is contracted. many Industrial
plants will BIO unable to work full time, much
less overtime. Individual consumers would
be left in the lurch, and many OF them would
suffer. Our allies, which need coal more
than some OF them need men. would be handi-
capped 1t is easy to picture the distress
which would follow any material reduction
in the tonnage of coal. But we venture the
prediction that there will be no reduction.
The patriotic coal operator will continue to
produce all the fuel that his labor and trans
portation resources will permit. The un-
patriotic operator will soon find that he can
not lay down in this emergency. He can
withdraw from his business, but the govern
ment will instantly step in and run it for
him. No coal mine will be allowed to re-
main idle. The consumer. however, owes
something to his government In this crisis
He must economic. He must make one ton
do what two tons did before, If it is possible
He must realize that extravaganza on his part
is just as unpatriotic as refusal on the part
of the operator to maintain a maximum out
put OF his mine. Fuel Administrator Garfield
has found an opportunity to warn the public
OF it's obligation in the present situation, re-
mindng all OF that we must contribute
our part toward the conservation of the
country's coal supply. He gives us to un-
derstand that he has full power to deal with
the operator. the distributor and even the
retailer. but that he must have voluntary
cooperation on the part of the public
