selves come the most interesting
stories of how the miners are feel
ing the effects of the suspension.
Most every day they tell of having
received old coins that were prob
ably part of inheritances for the
past two generations. Many will
tell you of how they are the vic
Tins of petty thievery which con-
sists largely of groceries.
That gambling instinct in the
miners that causes them daily to
take chances with their lives in the
underground workings also makes
itself manifest despite the fact Of
a suspension and the prospects OF
facing a long winter Of idleness.
One of the most typical stories
of that sort to come to the at
tention Of the writer is as follows:

Found to Be Duke,
Carpenter Works
as Usual
BY international News Service

CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-Nicholas
Antenore, Chicago carpenter,
picked up his tools today and
went to work as usual, despite
the fact that ancient manuscripts
found in his attic proved him
to be an Italian duke of high
ancestral standing. A lecture
by his school teacher prompted
America Antenore, sixteen, to
take the papers, written in
Latin, to school to be decipher-
ed.
University of Chicago pro-
fessors were amazed to find
original credentials dating to
1851.
The papers brought to this
country by the Antenore family
bear the signatures of Charles
". emperor of the Holy Roman
empire; Philip of CASTLE, Lippi,
Benevente, Andrea and many
high churchmen. According to
expert genealogists, they prove
the head of the Antenore family
to be Justly entitled duke.

Second Library Salon Pro-

of Beethoven
BY JESSIE mcbride

'Epoch-making," in the words OF
Frederick Stock, proved again the
second day Of the transpIanted Berk-
shire Festival program to Wash
ington, When-under the name OF
the Library Of Congress Chamber
Music Festival-two programs were
given yesterday forenoon and after
noon. in the name of the Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge Foundation, in the
little auditorium of the library.
The morning program was an
all-Beethoven one, in the strict
quartet; a sonata, opus No. 5, No.
2 in G minor, and the "Serenade"
opus Is in D, trio for flute, violin
and viola, given so exQuisitely by
Georges Barrere, William Knoll, and
Hugo Kortschak, that it remains
q pinnacle of art and perfect beauty,
SO rare it stands unassailed in It's

Fine London Singers
The afternoon brought us rare
visitors from beyond the sea, in "A
Program Of Old English Music" that
introduced to America THE English
Singers" of London. Their debut
in the Western World was an. ova-
ton. Never, one may say, has such
finely attuned and beautiful ensem.
BILE singing been heard. It was a
string quartet in blend and color, It
remained at the same time the
rarest Of pure singing.
Six voices, three women, three
men-the ladies attired in quaint
old-fashioned satin gowns-sat costly
together around a central table.
There they truly had concourse in
sweet sound. The old English com
posers themselves kept the atm0s-
phere that of formal merry Eng
land. It is all unacompanied sing
ing.
The English Singers are com
most finely-balanced trio of women :

voices are two tenors and a basso,
the latter maintaining the funda-
mental voice Of these motets, folk
songs and mardigals with spirit
so blithe and humorously dramatic

songs, quite the most deIectable OF
settings. Yet. 1t is what the singers
weave into the oft-repeated phrases,
the accomplishments of voice to
solo voices, that gives such alb.

The "Wassail Song" from afar
off, brought out finest tonalities.
The way each voice articulated per.

At the shrine Of Beethoven lin

playing, giving chord resolutions
that are gems In combined string

Empires may fall, say we at
such program, but music was
made for joy!
The field Of Mrs. Coolidge, founder
of these festivals, il best attested
by the chiseled loneliness of such
playing, for this quartet is her
very own, named from the Berk-
shire Hills, where the festivals were
born.
The Cavatina, in this six-part
quartet, was the gem, sounding like
an exquisite prayer. The players
are William Knoll, Karl Kraeuter,
Hugo Kortschak and Willem
Willeke. Mr.. Willeke was soloist
in the Beethoven sonata for cello
and piano, with Aurelio Giorni at
the piano, his fine playing making
a notable central figure in this
uplifting Beethoven program.

COAL BELT HARD
HIT BY MINE
STRIKE
Little Anthracite Kept in Re-
serve at Galleries, Hence
Public There Feels Pinch
By international News Service

POTTSVILLE, Pa, Oct. 3d.
While those living outside the an
thracite belt are clamoring over
the inconvenience caused to them
by the suspension OF the hard coal
mines, an investigation into che
results shows that the residents liv-
ing in the coal regions are the
greatest sufferers.
Naturally those people living in
the New England, States and the
midwest are feeling the effects
of the coal strike by reason Of their
dependence on hard coal as fuel.
Btu only q side glance away from
the causes and into the results
proves conclusively that it is the
people Of the anthracite belt who
are the greater sufferers.
Because the product Is mined in
only this small section Of Penn
sylvania il no reason why 1t IL
ing companies. Fact OF the matter
is that all but a small portion Is
Immediately placed on other mar
kets. The coal companies only re-
tain that supply Of coal sufficient
for consumption at the mines In
the event of suspension.
This means that the residents of
the coal regions, when their supply
Is exhausted, are forced to seek
other markets to replenish the stock
This is accomplished with difficulty
by reason Of the heavy call for the
product in other sections at a price
prohibitive to the average coal
miner. It means that the coal
must be shipped back to the point
where it vas ms1ed from distant
market. Hence, when the supply is
low, or stopped, the residents of
the coal fields are the first to feel
the pinch.
Children at Work
A majority Of the banks in the
coal region towns show gradual
increase in the amount of deposits,
1t IS true, leading TO the general
belief that the miner Is being paid
exorbitant wages. This is erroneous
for the most part.
The primary reason why the aver

MATERIAL ARRIVES

Before many nights the newly con-

light slignifying to the world that
Eagle River at last has started to
lift its feet out of the mud and pro
mote some civic Improvements that
will give it metropolitan aspect.
Superintendent Eckhoff of the
Light & Water Commission has had
crew Of men busy since the wealth
er became settled getting the orna-
mental street lighting system on
these three blocks installed. There
are some thirty standards to be plac.
ed on the east side of Railroad street
from the corner of Division to Wall
streets, and along both sides of Wall
street from Railroad to First street.
Concrete bases have been set and
the work of placing the standards is
now under way. Before long all CON
nections will have been completed
and the current turned on, which will
be big improvement over the old
method of street lighting.
The three blocks of concrete paving
laid early this fall have done away
with the street maintenance problem
in that district. The ornamental light
ing system is another step thai;
marks progress. A continuation of
both for several more blocks would
be an Improvement mat the benefits
would warrant and undoubtedly will
be the next step in civic improvement
to be made in the, village.
