Although the character of "Major Wellington de . Boots" is not one of suilloiH.nt breadth by which to folly gange an actor's abilities in a repertmre so va ried as Mr. Oiarke's, there is quite enough in it, as played by him, to convince the most skeptical critic mat his personation of that role is the very emiMvli nent "f cuius in the most exalted form that comedy can admit of. Such humor, so intense and yet so laict, has rarely, if ever, been seen upon the Chicago boards. Weeping or smiling, blustering or cowering, no matter winch, a broad Itugh is extorted from the most cynical observer. Kvery motion, every atti tude, every look, Is the very essence of humor. The very set of his garments, rather than their railiton or form, is laughable, while his wonderful facial nower which enables him to give a thousand dlti'-ir- ent expressions not one of which Is a grlinaoe is mm ply irresistible. From U Chicago fopulliean. Mr. Clarke has been called the leading comedian en the American stage, and we doubt if His reputa tion Is at all at fault. As a delineator of reiiuod comedy. Mr. Clarke no doubt stands without an canal in Europe or this country. His voice isclcar and distinct, bis dress and make-up are perfect, and bis facial expression Is immense.

According to the agreement the average price for the month was to be obtained by referring to the books of five firms selected by both parties. The follow ing is the report of the proceedings of the joint committee 01 ten lor tne ocnuyiKiu region: rOTTSVlLLK, Aug. 26, 18i0. Wlitrtaa, On the 28th ayol August, the President pro fern, of the Board of Trade and tne President pro tent, of the W. B. A. of Bchnylklll county, met and selcetcd five firms, whose books or aocouuts, sworn to, should fix the wages for the present month of August. The ao ounts of the following firms, so selected, were sworn to dioic a juwuce 01 tue peace as correct, via.: ieo. "W. Cole, chosen by W. B. A. Thomas Coal Company, chosen by Hoard of Tra ie. nine.

This $385 is the average price of coal at rrt uaroon, ana accordincly the waires of tho miners and Ulrers will be reduced 8J per eent. from tne 3 basis. In the bhaujokia region a similar committee Jound the average price of the month to be t2 81. The next monthly auction sale of 80,000 tous ol bcranton coal by tne Delaware. Lackawanna. and Western Kallroad Company will take place in New York ou next Wednesday. No great aJvauce in prices Is looked for at this sale, and a decline la eveu thought probable. It Is not yet near enough to the winter's demand to iu anre a much higher rate. The Pennsylvania Coal Company, in the early part of the week, following in the wake ot heading, announced an advance of cents per ton in tieptcoiber. Tills is bod for the ooeratora at present prices. But of course the railroads mnst nave a finger in the pie. The trade at this port is dull. There is some what of a demand, but prices are unchanged. Jf the production increases and tho orders do not, a temporary further decline may be ex pected, though it can hardly continue for any length of time. At Mauch Chunk there were transported over both railroads and canal during the past week 10bVJ33'15 tons, against 117,5118 10 tons the Pre vious week, a decrease of 10,004 15 tous. During the .corresponding week last year 103,011-05 tons were transported, which shows an increase lor tne ween oi iutu ol tons.

I As the European war approaches its culminat ing point the excitement in financial circles in creases, and fortunes will be made and lot through the next great Datue, wnicn may oe over before these remarks are in type. Such an ooDoitunltv may not occur again for years. and speculators are investing largely in gold or securities according to their French or German proclivities. It ia literally a game of rouge ft noir, with the chances largely In favor of Germany in the struggle, and the bulk of the operations are consequently in Govern ment bonds, which it is believed will advance rapidly n the announcement of a Prussian vic tory. With regard to gold, however, many be lieve that it is cheap, aside from the contingen cies of the war, and large investments are being made. The loan market ie also active to-day and rates are very firm, the chances being In favor of a stringent market. Gold is exceedingly steady in the absence of foreign news, but there is considerable specula tion going on.
