COAL PRICES. When it comes to a change In the price of coal everybody is interested, and for that reason the boost which is now promised’ by the operators, in order to take care of the increased wages_which they have agreed to pay the miners; naturally stirs up the public mind. When it was announced that the possibility of a strike in the anthracite region had been avolded by granting the miners- the increase sought, it was apparent that the money to meet that advance must como out of the pockets of the con- sumers. ‘That is as it has always been in the past and there was no reason to expeet anything different at this time. ‘Whether such an increase ‘should all come out of the ultimate consumer gets little consideration. 8 opera-| === fors 'do_not"Inténd to cut. down. their MERCHANTS' WEEK. profits -and - dividends, regardless of Once again the merchants of Nor-|how large ‘they may bein order to wich are cooperating in an effort to|share this new expense with the little put before the people of this part of |fellows, but on the other hdnd the the state the value to them of nnc!le;e h‘:a bee: to see that the in- this ity as o shopping center.|Creased charge for coal at wholesale 1t has met with excellent resuits|¥2S :‘:y":o““’“ enoush to meet the in the past and it will agaln, for With| "y, ‘43ic connection it is noted with unity :xtx:h‘::‘::t:h”e are bound t9 Be| i terest : that Attorney -General Greg- accom ory has susgested that the Federal For the purpose of giving an im- petus to the pian of holding a speclal | 7720° Soumission make an investi- Week of trading opportunities, the 8 ectetiane - Aud - ac. b st 3 e s | counts of the great producing com- ber of interesting attractions outside K;“‘tz’;’:ct‘:eul’“:’“‘fif Agiaining of those which are always to be found POR Jich fuch an ju- crease in price, as is predicted will In the stores, and these with the ad-|p,, made, may be based, including the Shcisga WEICE Swas vr“:;; in 2| relation between any increase in the way. occast | cost of production due to advance of Dot fail to make a widespread apeal| y, oq and the fnerease - of profits to the people who are within a trad- caused by the increase in price, hi ::;:i‘: D‘fv aterl.:'ul‘::):xyid mean more|, EVeR If it 1s just for the consumer to meet the wage advance by an ad- than it has’ before, because both the | g0 o€ the WasS & S merchant and the shopper lave got- JUCH il sk S o doepes dhto. the.

The Yale Literary Magazine held its eightieth annual banquet in the Palm Room of the Hotel Taft last Tuesday evening.

The first intercollegiate golf match of the season between Yale and Har- vard, at the Bropklawn Course, ‘Bridgeport, Satyrday, was won by the Yale team by the score of 4 to 2. The feature of the match was the uphill work of F. R. Blossom, the intercol- legiate title-holder, in his match against J. W, Hubbell, of Harvard. In service -to the honor. Professor William.

Bellinger spoke for the incoming board. % Several important chang in the seating of the first and second uni- versity crews were made somewhat unexpectedly on the Housatonic river last Monday afternoon. Fitzpatrick was moved from No. 6 in the second boat to No. 6 in the university crew. Meyer was moved back to No. 4 in the first boat, and Sheldon was shifted from No. 4 to No. 4 on the =econd eight. Kositzky was moved from No. 4 in the second boat to No. 6. Since the rowing squad resumed work a week ago last Monday on the Housa- tonic river, Coach Nickalls had made no changes up to Monday and it, was expected\that any shifts to be made ‘would be delayed until after the sec- ond crew’s race in the American Hen- ley regatta on fhe Schuylkill river at Philadelphia next Saturday. For this reason the changes made Monday, al- though expected next week, came as more or less of a surprise. At the next Saturday’'s race at Philadelphia the university eight will begin train- ing for its race at Tthaca, where it will meet Cornell and Princeton in two weeks. . The first returns-for the 1916 Yale- in-China fund which have been col- lected so far amount to about $400. In the meantime 1916 S. has raised $1,600 and is planning to make this $2,000, thus sending two of the six men who are needed for Yale next yvear. Incidentally, 1913 has' pledged to maintain permanently the salary for its class representative, Paul S. Achilles, 1913, and a similar movement is under way in 1914. At present it is hoped that the Class of 1916 will be able to raise the sum of $1,000 neces- sary to have the class ropresented in such a worthy and international Yale institution as Yale-in-China. It has been officially announced that some radical changes in the form of elections of managers for the major sports will be included in a new con- stitution to be drawn up in the near future by the University Athletlc as- sociation. These changes will embody a ‘complete reorganization of the sys- tem of managers for the major sports in the University. The new consti- tution is to be formed in coincidence with the recent incorporation of the Athletic Association and will be sub- mitted to the Yale Corporation for approval. The eonstitution will. not take effect for some time, as it can- not be adopted until passed upon by the corporation. The following rec- ommendations for changes in the form of managership ~ elections were de- cided upon and will- be made a part of any new . comstitution adopted: Managers will be selected on merit only, irrespective of their department in the ;I‘Jl'dvarllly.

It was the last match of the contest and won for Yale. ' OTHER VIEW POINTS , The long and elaborate appeal in behalf of Mr. Brandies, which Presi- dent Wilson sent to the senate, shows how important he considers the ques- tion of confirmation to be. It is a “character” of which ‘any man might be proud and for which Mr.' Brandies must be grateful. It will not, prob- ably, improve President Wiison's rep- utation as a judge of men. His eulogy it too undiscriminating and fits almost no man who is still aiive—Waterbury American. R James Mark Sullivan has duly re- ported that he is free and there prol ably was never a story which “Jim’ reported with more joy. After all, if he only keeps free and above suspicion and gets back to the land of the free, this experience of his may prove to have been a blessing. Could he crave a more delightful existence than roam- ing the country as a well advertised and distinguished lecturer on “the Irish Rebellion of 1916.” Out of the prison in- to a job seems to have been JHm’s-tuck, and it is not unlike most of the rest of his luck.—Waterbury Republican, How much the state police had to do with the actual securing of evidence against that alleged murder-factory in Windsor we are not told. It is prob- able that most of that work was done from the Hartford state attorney’s office. But the state police actually made the arrest, and in the circum- stances performed such a function as is appropriate to state police. It is fitting that now and then they should demonstrate that it is possible for state police to be detectors or prose- cutors after crime is committed, and limited in their function to instigat- ing crime—New Haven Register. If the Mexicans are thoroughly in- formed by some sufficiently iliuminat- ing action on our part that we can punish them severely for their hostile manifestations and that we will do so, they will stop and thing twice before they continue to raid our border. Now they consider us weak, inofficient, un- able to follow them up and a lot of poor trash anway. They must have that idea beaten out of them if some of their brains go with it. Otlierwise we should leave them alone, police our border and make no move in the way of punitive” expeditions. To fail in such things is to court contempt and deserve” it.—Bridgeport Stan Connecticut will turn a deaf ear to even the suggestion of Unil States Senator Genl'g%?. McLean retiring to ‘wouldn’t even listen it astation. At its blooming time, which we now approach, its sufferings are greatest. It is gathered by the spray, by the twig and by the tree. And now- walking of | adays, with the growth of the and the motoreycle and the motor hab- it, a great many more people than for- mery get where they are moved to take home some laurel. There is, or was, an abundance of mountain laurel in Con- necticut. But there are nearly a mil- lion and a half of people here, and summer sojourning and summer travel must make the number up to two mil- lions. When everybody takes a hand at the destruction of the shrubs, their disappearance will be rapid. Now is none too soon to begin the effort to check the wholesale destruction now practiced.—New Haven Register. Stories of the War I Victors Feted In Africa. « A reception and dance was given to. the British force by the King of Fum- ban shortly after the capture of this province from the German forces, says a despatch from the British headquar- ters, I"umban, Kamerun, Africa. The function was featured by a_ speech from the throne and the taking of a photograph of the king and his 600 wives and 149 children. Soon after the last of the fighting in the province the conquerers ac- cepted an invitation from the king to visit .the palace greunds which open on the market place.

The pipe was of brass. - were met by the king dressed in new |- flowing robes of blue with a blue muffler tied around his neck. After the soldiers were lined up at seats on either side of the market place the king made a short speech, first in his native tongue and then in pidgin Eng; lish, admonishing his subjects to kind and courteous to the new con- querers. & ‘Then the dance began. The orches- tra. was made up chiefly of various sized drums made of holl trees and stretched skins. The only other in- strument was a species of rattle with which most of the natives were armed and with which they kept re- markable time. Six or seven men started the ball with a mative shuffle varied by a few more energetic mo- tions. Some were dressed in what looked like blue overalls and others were in.red, the garments reaching from the heels to the tip of the nose. Each man carried on his head carved mask heads, all white and about two feet high. Round the neck of each mask was a large collar or ruff made of some wood fibre a foot thick. Round the ankles they wore similar ruffs. ‘The men advanced to the king, bed their masks in the dust and then started the double shuffle. After do- ing this for some time the orchestra and the native audience getting more and more excited, six of the King's ladies appeared on the ;scene, They were covered much like' the men ex- cept that on their heads They went through the same motions as the men for nearly an hour before l!;’flking way for the king's photogra- pher.
