in 1877 Just Brought to Light
In Good Condition.

quart, ripe with age, was discovered
in the cellar of John E. Gale of Guilford
and just before the holidays, too. But
lest Mr. Gale be bothered by the impor-
tunings of his friends to give up the key
to his cellar it may be well to state that
the quart was maple syrup made by Mr..
Gale in 1877.
For AZ years the bottle of syrup had
remained undiscovered in nook in the
cellar until brought to light by Mr.
Gales aunt There was no sign of scum
or crystalization. and while the taste was
u little stronger than when made the
syrup was palatable and suitable to be
made into Christmas candy.

Chicago Fuel Companies
Raise Prices Between 80
and 35 Cents a Ton
INCREASE MAKES UP
ADVANCE IN WAGES
Old Contracts Contained Provision for
Passing On of Any Increases In Min
ing Costs-Kansas Miners Remained
Idle Today

CHICAGO, Dee. 24-Coal consumers
today were in receipt OF announcements
from several fuel companies notifying
them of an increase in retail price of be-
tween 30 and 3j cents a ton on all coal
mined since the settlement of the recent
miners strike to make up for the IA per
cent wage increase the workers gained.
This does not mean no coal will be
sold at the government price" one deal
er said, but the Garfield order is not
retroactive on contracts executed before
it was issued and all contracts contain
n clause providing for the passing along
Of any increase in mining costs. Those
who have no contracts for coal will get 1t
at the government price. However, most
operators have their entire output sold
under contract so the price increase will
be pretty general"
