It will take therm **-- ears to catch up. \ The coal barons have advanced the price of domestic coal twenty- five cents a ton. That is enough to pay the extra $6,000,000 in wages to the miners. Also to put $6,000,000 more into the pockets of the operators. Last year the unearned profits of the coal magnates amounted te $40,000,000. Forty million dollars plus siz million dollars equal forty-six mill- fon dollars profits for this year. The noble coal barons have seen their duty and offered up tho secdful “sacrifice”! The minere are three years behind! The public has got to find $12,000,000! The coal fight is settled. Who wins? tt NOT IN THE PART. HILE women suffragists here end abroad are lifting up their W voices in triumph over the martyrization of Mrs. Pankhurst and the Pethick Lawrences, who have been sentenced io nine months in jail, declaring that this outrage must arouse the world and bring the British Government to grovel at the feet of ladies gon- erally, the martyrs themselves seem to be rather spoiling the picture. They are taking their fate with anything but horoic poise. * It was indeed with very feminine and trembling dismay that they begged the judge to treat them as first-class misdemeanants guilly enly of political crime. Evidently the sordid, commonplace conse- (quences of breaking everyday laws had no place in the plans of these enthusiasts. A great and glorious trial—court mobbed by sympathetic and frenzied public—judge forced to hang his head before them—Govern- ment Ministers shaking in their shoee—glorious discharge and en- taptured welcome to the bosom of an admiring populace—this was whet they foresaw. But to be summarily sentenced to nine months fo prison, all in the course of regular court routine, with the general public by no means excited about it, was quite out of the reckoning. In spite of all the “manly” claims of these suffragists their pres- ent forlorn bearing may remind old playgoers of the lady in “Nancy and Co.” who strode boldly into a mining venture along with the men, and then, when her money melted into the earth, remembered her sex and wailed: “Perhaps they'd give it back to me if they knew I was a woman!” A WRINKLE FROM THE BOULEVARDS. On has been heard recently of newsstands and booths in various parts of the city, mainly on the ground that they are in the way. Nobody has ever seen any particular beauty in these board con- on street corners. But they are certainly convenient and they would be missed unloss some other sort of newspaper dispensa- | ‘tiea replaced them. Why not give New York the kiosk? In Paris and other European cities these ornamental iron cylin- 4 " dere, fifteen feet high and four or five feet in diameter, with thcir display of newspapers, magazines, guide books and theatre posters, ot the avenues and boulevards at frequent intervals Placed near the outer edge of the sidewalk, they are in nobody’s ‘way. There is space inside for the vendor to sit, and a circular coun- ter displays the “goods.” Above are pasted daily neat posters from which one can find out all about the theatres. No big illustrated ail- vertising bills are permitted in the middle of the city. If one sud- denly wants s newspaper or wishes to know what amusements are om for the evening a few steps to the nearest kiosk will bring him all the information he needs. These conveniences are maintained and licensed by the city. Why shouldn’t this town turn an honest penny by abolishing most of the newsstands and constructing and renting kiosks? Why shouldn’t the city get some of the privilege money that now gocs to professional politicians and district leaders? Besides being good economy, kiosks would greatly add to the neatness and attractiveness of the streets. eS HF: Hungarians are said to be by instinct the best natural born politicians in Europe. gets above a whisper. ——— up all there is of something and holding it until ip al ter The benevolent process of buying you can find out what it is worth—to those who have to have it.

TE stern graybeard Judges of Athens sat in solemn session upon ' their stone judgment seats. Before them stood a prisoner charged with a grave crimo—the crime of sacritoge, for whict death was the penalty. And the prisoner was a woman. y According to custom, she was hoavily veiled. No hint of her face or figure could be gleaned thrgugh the great vell's thick folds. She stood there, silent, moveless, before her grim Judges, watching their faces grow darker and more set at each new proof of her guilt. A great orator, Hyperides by name, was defending ber. And there was unwonted eloquence in his appeal. For he loved her. Yet all of Hyperides's skill could not dam the current of testimony against bis velled client, nor turn back the whecls of Greek justice from crushing her, The case was as good as lost. Hyperides in despair ceased his plea. The, Magistrates comferred in whispers; and their chict opesed his bearded lips to pronounce sentence upon the prisoner. ‘Then it was that the woman herself of appeal, no cry for mercy.

Forgotten was the evidence against Phyrne; forgotten was the un- pardonable crime of sacrilege against the gods, whereof she was accysod, Noth- ing remained in any onlooker’s mind but a worship of her supreme loveliness. With one voice the Judges triumphantly acquitted her. And amid shouts songs of triumph the beauty-loving populace carried her on their shoulders to her palace.

Apelles used her us model for his great picture “Venus Angdyomene.” Praxiteles made a lifesize statue of her in gold and another in marble.
