Asked to Appoint k. ceiver for Firms. N People of Boston Demand Relief From the Fuel Famine, BOSTON, Sept. 27.—A committee of citi- zens, headed by the publisher of a Boston newspaper, to-day sought relief in the courts from the present coal shortage and high prices by asking for a recelver for the coal companies and coal carrying roads. A Dbill in equity was filed in the Supreme Court against the following corporations: The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, the Del- | aware and Hudson Company, the New York, Ontario and Western, the Erie Company, the Pennsylvania Coal Com- | pany, the Central Railway of New Jersey, the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and | the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and | Iron Company. The petitioners ask that a recelver be appointed for the benefit of all concerned | upon such terms and in such manner, | and with such agents and servants and | with such rates of wages and other con- ditions of employment and at such prices | for goods produced and sold as the court | shall from time to time adjudge proper. i The bill is based upon tne legal theory of | the coal situation given by H. W. Chap- lin, a lawyer. Chaplin says in support of | { his position: 4 “Since the public have a right in the | mines, a right to have coal forthwith | | immediate consumption and | have a right to have that coal immediate- | { 1y transported out of the mining regions the coal-carrying roads, a court of equity, if no other solution of the difficulty | is open, has authority, upon the applica- tion of a representative portion of the people, undoubtedly to appoint a receiver | or receivers to take into his or their| hands the whole business now in the hands of the anthracite coal combination | and run it in their place.” A subpena to serve on the defendants, | glving notice of the bringing of the suit, is to be taken out on Monday by the | plaintiff’s lawyer and it will probably be | returnable in Novemb | | OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST | | = | Changes Made in the Postal Service | { and More New Pensions | Granted.

Willard on Fourteenth street, opposite the new Willard Hotel, collapsed shortly after 8 o'clock this morning and a large crowd of people on their way to business had a miraculous escape from death or injury. The accident was caused by overweight- ing the two iron column supports for the front of the building, being insufficient to sustain the weight of the 800 and 1000 | pound stones which were being piled as | a sill coping on the sixth floor. These im- s | mense stones and a part of the iron frame- for Hood's Ribbed- | work fell to the ground, but fortunately the noise of the crash gave sufficient ( warning to the forty workmen employed and to the passersby. Only one man, a lzborer named Washington Gordon, was injured, but he was able to return to work. 3 Kid Tops, g n Toes and Tivs Heels. REDUCED TO A PAIR.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLANS AN ALL-RAIL ROUTE | | STOCKTON, Sept. 27.—The Southern | Pacific Company is procuring rights of way for a cut-off from Sacramento, or from Brighton, five miles south of the capital city, by way of Stockton to the main line between Byron. and Antioch, making an all-rail route for passenger | business and doing away with the ferry boat at Benicia. Land has been bought for the road on the western line of this city and it is known that plans are on fcot for a big steel bridge to cross Stock- ton Channel. The route will be twenty miles farther to San Francisco than by way of Benicla, but it will be quicker and safer. Ri s of way have been ob- tained from Sacramento as far as the northern line of San Joaquin County. ADVERTISEMENTS. THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. | Nearly everybody knows that chdre is the safest and most efficient dis fectant and. purifier in nature, but fex realize its value when taken into the | human system for the same cleansing | purpose. | PCl?arcoa! is a remedy that the more you | take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the tecth, and, further, acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis- infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char- coal and the most for the money fs in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges. They are ccmposed of the finest powdered Willow charcosl and other harmless antiseptics 1n tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char- coal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can resuit from their continued use, but, on the con- | Yrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the | benefits of charcoal says: “I advise Stu- art’s Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in the stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purity the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but 25 cents a box at drugstores, and although in some sense a patent preparation yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” Seven-seven!y-five at present buys a good all-wosl sack suit, as here pictured, which will prove very serviczable for every- day wear That’s the story in a nut shell. . What else we say is only emphasis. The suits comprise tweeds, cheviots and worsteds in dark and light mixtures for fall and winter wear; they are made up in single-breasted style, as pictured, and in three-button double- breasted sty‘le: sizes 34 to 42. When the suits first arrived from our workshops they sold for $12.50. We decided to have a sale in order to assure us of a big September business. We had no odds and ends to offer, so took these goods from regu- lar stock and marked them $7.75. The sale will end when this certain lot of suits is all gone. Remember: exchanges and alterations cheerfuliy made; money back to any cus- tomer not satisfied that the suits are good values even at $12.50; regardless of the sale 775 Men’s Worsted Trousers Most men wear out two pair of trousers to a coat and vest, and strange as it may seem, the second pair freshens up the coat and vest, improving their appearance two fold.
