To the Editor OF The BYenirng World
Could you kindly answer this Dues
ton? What is the reason that the
coal companies of Long Island refuse
to supply consumers with any coal
sooner than two or three months
after 1t is ordered2 Then the con-
sumner will have to pay the price that
coal is at the time OF delivery.
Coal is now Sl4,25 per ton.
OF course, l can see their reason
for holding up the coal and also the
consumer for nothing else than u
higher rate per ton, thinking that no.
body will think of the poor people
who will have TO suffer this hold-up

is 1T NOT so?

The dead leave behind them their
memory and their example. Their
influence still abides with us. Their
names and characters dwell in our
hearts. We live with them in their
writings; we enjoy the benefits OF
their labors. Indeed, we are sur
rounded by the works Of the dead.
And those whom we have loved are
still the objects Of our deepest and
hottest affections. their power over
us remains.
To perpetuate the noble lives OF
the passing generation and to con-
stantly remind us by visible signs,
the examples Of those who have gone
before. What then, Is more appro-
pirate to achieve this end for our
selves and others that they too may
be benefited, by erecting in ever
lasting granite. a monument, at
once artistic, satisfaction to your
sense Of duty and memorial to the
virtues of the dead.
