NEW c. OAL RATES.
Advance OFFS Cents to 81 Ton Becomes
Effective Tomorrow.

Beginning tomorrow the price of coal
in Wilmington will be advanced from rs
cents TO dollar ton. Ninety per cent
of this increase coal men say, was made
necessary by the advance in freight rates,
which was granted to the railroads and
went into effect last Thursday. The other
ten per cent is the regular monthly increase
IL has been the custom for the operators
to lower the price of coal in the spring and
make ten per cent increase each month
from May | until the maximum winter
price is reached. The approval of the wage
by the President did not have anything
TO do with raising the price of coal this
month, according to local dealer. The
operators fixed the price of coal some time
ago and took into account the probable
amount of the award which would be
granted to the piners.
The following prices go into effect to-
morrow Nut coal, s14.30 a ton; stove,
sl4.20; egg, $3.50; pea, sl1.95; buck
wheat 1925.

POLICE AT CHURCH.
Regarded as News Item of International
Importance.

In letter from Caleb z. Burchenal,
who is now touring Europe, to Charles j.
Coleman, clerk of the Municipal Court,
Mr.. Burehenal told how several months
ago, when he was leaving this country and
was | 900 miles at sea, the wireless carried
a news fash that the Wilmington police
had attended services in Wesley NJ. E.
Church.
Whether it is unusual to have police
men 60 to church, or whether they should
attend divine service is hard to ascertain
but this little message of the Wilmington
police has been literally flashed around the
world

The high prices paid for the par
