The Coal Strike
CWateryille SentineD

An excellent Illustration of the
weakness of the Wilson administra-
ton in business and industry has
been furnished by the handling d
the coal strike. This was started all
right by the department of justice
when an injunction was secured and
the miners held to strict accounta-
bility under the law and all the legal
rights Of the government vigorously
protected. That stopped the strike
officially. 1t gave the government
big advantage in the succeeding ne
gotiations, but now this has all been
wasted.

Peculiarities Of the marriage laws
OF both Maine and New Hampshire
are understood to have Influenced
the action Of a certain Down East
couple, who devised one OF the
strangest marriages in the annals Of
the two states in their efforts to be
made one without waiting the speci-
ned time. They were married in
Maine. but the officiating clergyman
was In New Hampshire, the cere-
mony taking place last Tuesday af-
ternoon on the interstate bridge over
the Salmon Falls river, between Ber-
wick and Somersworth, n. S.
The ceremony took place immedi-
ately after the arrival Of a trolly car
from Dover, N. H., from which the
man and woman and the clergyman
alighted at the end Of the route. a
rev PAGES from the bridge. People
passing on the bridge were amazed
to see a marriage being performed
there. The parties were all strangers
to the eye witnesses.
The couple had proceeded across
the bridge until they passed the
State boundary. then turned and fac
ed the minister, who stood on the
New Hampshire side. AS soon as the
Knot was tied the three returned to
the trolley car and boarded it just
as It was starting on the return trip
to Dover. 1t is supposed that the min
lister had q license to perform mar
rtages in both Maine and New. Hamp-

determined on drastic action, stepped
to the door, locked it, and jammed the
key in his pocket, and then, turning
TO the girl, who was watching his
every move with a murderous inten

suppressed passion, commanded her
to be seated.

New York, April 25.-The market for coffee futures opened unchanged to F points lower under scattered realizing or liquidation with the late months relatively easy. It was the first notice day for May. but ony few were issued and appeared to be immediately stopped as there was no near month liquidation across the ring and after early realizing sales had been absorbed the market turned f1rmer on bullish advices from Brazil and renewal of Wall street or other commission house buying. July sold up from 1875 to 1714. and December from 157s to 1610. with the market closing 15 to B points net higher.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

hSNoctatc1
 New York, April 25.-The cotton market has showed continued firmness during the past week. with prices making new high records for the new style contracts Real izing sales increased above 2s cents for May and 9 cents for October, but were absorbed on reactions of some 70 to SC points. with May contracts closing last night at 2S.25 and October at PAST, com pared with 27.S9c and 2420c, the prices quoted just before the Easter holidays.
 There was an active bushes on the ad- vances during the earlier part of the week, which included buying by both for eign and domestic trade interest and a broadening of speculative interest, based upon bullish view of commodity values as a general proposition and reports of continued firmness in the goods market. with some of the local brokers arguing that scarcity of textiles throughout the world was beginning to make itself felt.
 Profit taking was promoted by less sat- isfactory news from Paris and reports Of better progress in planting and new crop preparations, but otherwise brokers re- ported very little pressure against prices and the market was influenced today by the strength of near positions resulting from the absence of more than three or four May positions.
 It is reported that Belgium has estao- lished commercial credits in this country amounting to $50,00o.o 900 and that Belgian buying agent here Is already placing or ders for textiles and machinery.
 The removal of blacklists and other re- strictions on shipments of commodiue" to European neutrals are also considered favorable feature from the exporf standpoint. and the continued fair volume of business reported in southern spot markets has been attributed partly to demand from abroad.
 The weekly report of the weather ou- reau said that low temperatures had pre- vented germination and retarded growth of cotton already up, but that conditions had been favorable for farm work.
 Temperatures we're considered more favorable during the earlier part of the week just ended but the weather was cool again in the eastern belt today
