at New York as Second-Class Mall Matter. VOLUME 48... THE UNOPENED MINES. The Coal Trust cannot complain that it has not Tecelved full and ample protection from the State of Pennsylvania, At the firet symptom of violence a suffi- lent force of troops was immediately sent to the scene of disturbance, and more are ready to go if wanted.) There is not the slightest pretext for assuming that the ; operators are restrained or prevented from opening the} mines by the fear of violence or forcible opposition. For the past two weeks we have had promises and evasions, and meanwhile every industry dependent on anthracite is) suffering from the effects of the coal famine, and the) city of New York, which is the principal consumer, !s paying extortion prices for an inadequate supply, which ‘Then why are the mines not opened? ‘we are now told is to be even further curtailed. Could there be a more conspicuous instance of the insolence of successful monopoly than this refusal of the Coal Trust to reopen the mines?

I., last night and left a trail of accident and disaster behind it the like of which had not been known in the community It was an automobile pursuing the even tenor of its way, but from the terror it caused it might have been a juggernaut running amuck, Before the machine had reached the city limits it had caused five runaways, whereby four wagons were almost completely wrecked before. and a woman seriously injured. The multiplication of the automobile makes it more and more a menace on public highways. A drive of al few miles on a Jersey or Long Island turnpike on Sunday means the passing of a score at least of the noisy power vehicles, and It is a seasoned old family Dobbin that does Not shy at them, or, in the case of a racing machine, seek | 7 Such e machine is to all intents and purposes a locomotive and encountered at close quar- Tnexpert| drivers with nervous horses in an encounter of this sort are caught in a predicament from which only good luck can rescue them.

ONE TRUST THAT FAILED, From Baltimore comes the welcome news that the Ice Trust, as far as that city is concerned, is a total failure, and at nearly every point this discredited and disreputable device of extortion is tottering to {ts fall. It cannot fall too soon, nor can its ruin be too com- plete. Of all the trust brood the Ice Trust is the most petty, the most contemptible, the most vicious and the most criminal. Only the most callous and brutal inhu- manity could attempt to monopolize a commodity which is especially the solace of sickness and poverty during the summer heat in our large cities. But we do not notice that the failure of the Ice Trust is to be credited to any effort of authority or enforce- ment of jaw, and the promoters of it have presumably not lost their standing in business circles. TWO FORTUNATE SENIORS, The contrasted views of two eminent authorities on - the question of the right employment of one's old age are presented in the news of yesterday. At Saratoga - William C. Whitney, having laid aside all business cares at sixty, is made the hero of the day in appreciation of his services in buflding up the sport of horse racing. In New York Russell Sage, at the age of eighty-six, cele- Drates his birthday by putting in a day’s work at his office as usual and incidentally collecting his $10 gold pieces for attending his various directors’ meetings. Popular sentiment will probably declare that Mr. Whitney bas chosen the wiser part, but if the test of wisdom is furnished by the resultant happiness Mr. Sage is quite as fully entitled to the award, His happi- ness is wholly untroubled and his satisfaction with him- self is enhanced by the reflection that in keeping his money employed he is serving a useful business pur- pose. ‘This leaves it still an open question as to whether it is better for the successful man to retire or to continue at work until the end, or perhaps it may be settled by deciding that it is a question of temperament and that there is more than one way of being happy though old, A FUTURE FITZSIMMONS, The Sunday papers used to print pictures of Terry MecGovern's infant child in precocious athletic attitudes that promised future greatness in the prize ring. /) . mose has been put out of joint, as it were, by the prowess }) of little Harold Hartshorne in “doing up” his governess.

THE BRQBIG'S FOE: 3 § $ i Owen Kildare and “The Party” Find that True Love Never Runs Smooth. Listen! Some fellow says that the course of true love never runs smooth, and that is why you can never tell ruptions and eruptions ahead. There's The Party and Mont Pelee to prove It. Yes, The Party and I had a break, and {t didn’t surprise me much. I had been scared right along to see us get on the way we did, because if there's a man who is Jonahed It’s me. I have that kind of luck that if It was to rain soup I'd be out in 1! with a fork instead of a spoon in my hand. You know I—excepting once—have never been to any of those swell theatres uptown for many reasons. First, I don't like the idea of dressing up like a French waiter with one of those Httle dinky ties; also, they don't recognize the pro- fession as much as they ought to and it goes against me to put up the price of a half week's board for a seat to see a play which I can see the next season for 10, 20 and 30. Besides, I am a little old-fashioned and hate to swop old friends for new ones, thinking that what was good for me as a kid cannot be bad for me as a man. So, from the time when I was selling papers up till now when I am a prominent journalist—I put that down without smilin, nd am writing for the papers I have always stuck to Tony's and every Mond: night sees me up in the little house In Fourteenth in my accustomed seat on the extreme left of the familly circle. Naturally, they all know something about The Party, but they had never seen her; and | thought it was very con- siderate of the plano-player, who, I thought, was a friend of mine, to ask me to bring her up, Up we went, I as proud as a peacock, seeing the effect pro- duced by The Party. From the fellow In the box-office, paat old Kennedy and escorted by the usher with the Columbia College hair to our seats it was a regular triumphal pro- cession. To get our money's worth we got there early, and as The Party lost her supper by 1t I promised to do the honors after the show. Everything was lovely until about 7.30 when the undar- study plano-player gets relieved by the real thing In rag- time, who—as I told you~I thought was a friend of mine. Of course, as always on a Monday night, he rubbers ove to where he knows I'm sitting and salutes, but this trip his glance lingers and lingers and I see in a minute that I am not the focus, but The Party beside me. He lingers so long that Tony himself peeped out from the firat entrance to ascer- taln the delay. Now, I know a good deal about The Party, but I never OOOO 9-20 yester. 3 3 1 hurt FIT.
