South Eelhlchorn's Birthday.
Last Frldaj was the thirty-second anni
versary of South Bethlehem, and with the
event comes a sltange coincidence. In
1S51 the town was known as Wetherlll. In
that year Charles Brodhcad, a relative ot
Jefferson Davis, owned the lots on which
South Bethlehem Is now building. The
lots were then known as the Ranch and
Luekenbach farms. In 1855 he conveyed
the Ranch farm back to Its formcr'owncis,
but reserved eight acres for a national
foundry which Jefferson Davis, then Sec
retary c,r Bar, contemplated erecting there.
That land Is now being used for a similar
purpose. The new building which the
iBeililehepij Iron Company is ,qccctlng,for
uic turning out of anpor plate and gun
forging; ,! i located on the ground men
tioned. It is situated on Second street ryidj
runs-parallel with the Lehigh Valley Rail
road. '
Tho Coal Trade.
Philadelphia Ledger, 4lU, inet: The
anthracite coal trado season of 1SS7-8 lias
opened. The spilng circulars of prces for
eoal to the lino nnd city trade and for ship
ment beyond the Canes of the Delaware
and from Elizabetlmort were nubllshed
last Monday. Since then the rales of tolls
from Maueh Chunk ond Schuylkill Haven
via: railroads and, canals have been an
nounced, the tolls by the former being
fixed at $1.80 per ton and by the latter at
$1.35. pea nnd 'buckwheat sizes and culm
being charged 15 cents per ton less than
for the lanjer sizes. For shipment beyond
the Capes tho toll ou coal delivered free on
board the vessel at Port Richmond Is $1.55
per ton, excepting for pea, buckwheat and
culm, which will pay 15 cents per ton less
toll. Heretofore the custom has been for
the Reading Railroad to charge the shipper
:13 percent of the price actually obtained
for the coal f. o. b. at that shipping point.
In the past, when overproduction or com
petition caused by any other reason nec
essitated this Individual operators to sell
their coal at a lower price than the Reading
Company's circular figures the railroad
suffered a-proportion of the decreased
profit. Now the railroad proposes a fixed
rate of freight from tho mines to tidewater,
and In the future, should there occur a de
cline in tho market prices for anthracite,
the Individual operators must bear the full
loss themselves. When the coal business,
becomes dull, unless the Individual can find
storago accommodation for his coal, he
must pay the full rate of tolls and either
sell his coal at a reduction and assume
himself tho decreased piolit or full losj, as
the case may bs, or else "shut down" his
operation nnd suspend mining. For many
veari past it lias been the custom of anthra
cite operators and shlppeis and tlie coal
transporting companies to open the season
with luwcnrice for coal and reduced rates
)f tolls compared with those which ruled
during tlie winter immediately preceding.
This year, however, that old custom has
not prevailed, and not only have the prices
not been lowered but they have actually
been advanced over Ihe past winter's prices
for some sizes, and the tolls, too, remain
the same. At present the anthiacitc busi
ness Is dull, and It will In all probability
continue, so'fcr at least thirty or sixty days.
The prices for coal, excepting for steam
sizes, are somewhat weaker thau they weiu
a week or two ago. There is very little
coal In either first or second hands any
where, and at tlie several tidewater ship
ping points the accumulated stock of coal
is unusually low for this period of the year.
Most of tlie coal being dally forwarded
fiopi the mines Is going directly Into con
sumption and, compared with the past
several years, the average prices now being
obtained for anthracite are much higher.
As Is well known, the old "combination"
for the regulation of the anthracite trado
expired by limitation on the first Instent.
Nobody seems lo be worrying asto a method
for either preventing overproduction or
maintains prices during this year. The
public belief Is that while the old "pool"
has exuired there still exists "an under
standing between gentlemen" that the
anthracite business Is too Important nu
Industry to penult It to go entirely as it
pleases, and that, consequently, Its Inter

Observo Arbor'Day.
In pursuance of a goodly precedent, and
In compliance with a request of thc.Gencral
tVssembly of tho Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania contained in a coneuricnt resolu
tion, approved tho 30th day of March, A.
D. 1SS7, I havo appointed and designated,
and do hereby appoint and designate, Fri-
lay, the 22d day of April, A. D. 1SS7,
ArborDay. And'I doearnestly recommend
to the people of the Commonwealth that
they devolo Ihe whole or at least a portion
of Hie said day to tlie planting of trees and
shrubbery wherever it may be proper and
convenient so to no.
Let 3Cheol direetoi'S.lcachers. nnd scholars
unite in' making it a day for the adornment
of the grounds surrounding the school
nouses throughout the Commonwealth.
Iev the people, of, our lowni and villaecs
make It a "day fyr tho planting of trees
ulutu t!ielrstrects. Let the pepple In.our
rural It-iz'ons sue to it that their lilliwnva
are bciiitllled by the planting of trees upon
ineir- jomera. i.ei iamiiics ouserve the
Uj lr the planting of trees and shrubbery
In the grounds' surrounding their homes.
Let the farmers see lo it that the waste
places on their farms aro turned to Drofitab!
account bv tlie planting of timber, nut, and
iritlt trees llicreon. I.ct all tho people
understand that upon the general observ
ance of this day. and the practical results
which arise t Herefrom, in large measure
depend the continuance of legular seasons
of rainfall, the tempering of our climate,
the beauty of our homes and highways, the
Umber supply of tho future, aiut a
remunarativo return for labor bestowed
upon lauds not otherwise productive.
The observance of Arbor Day Is becom
ing general In many of our States; I'.s
necessity is recognized by 'thoso who have
given ihe greatest earc nnd study lo the
subject; and Us pralical usefulness Is
attested by all who have engaged In it.
In ease tlie day herein designated should
be unsuitable, in any portion of the Com
monwealth, let an adjournment be had to
some future day which will suit the climate
and convenience of the locality.
Given under my hand and the great seal
of the Commonwealth at Harrisburg, this
1st day of April, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred nnd eighty-
seven, and of the Cominor wealth the one
hundred und eleventh.

The Magnificat Diorama of the Battle to be
Exhibited Ihursday Evening.
Harrisburg Telearuvh: Tho tremendous
battle fought twentv-four years ago, upon
Pennylvanla soil, and within hearing of
this city, is to-day as full of interest to tlie
pcoulc of the whole country ns It was tlie
day nfter the light. As life yeaispabsby
and the prominent actors lu tho Titanic
struggle pass one by one away, citizens
seem to become more and more alive to the
magnitude and Importance of the subject
and wish to learu everything connected
wiiu me. name tnat was truly the begin
ning of tlie end of the rebellion. Tho na-
pers generally and magazines teem with
articles on Gettysburg. All through the
spring ami summer streams or pilgrims,
numbering tens of thousands, visit the field
and linger a; ound tho spots made famous
auu sacreu uy glorious needs ot uoDle men.
This Statu did a good deal when, shortly
after the great event, it appropriated a
large sum of money ,59 procuyii a painting
to commemorate the. battle. Twenty-live
thousand dollars was well spent In this dl
h'C'lou, and lotliermel's picture of Geltys
hin j was thd result. A noblo work It is
an now well known to everyone, by the
superb engraving, by Sartalu of tho work.
Panoramas, dioramas and cyclorumas In
numerable have been gotten up from time
to time, and now the most elaborate ami
important effort, as yet made, to give the
people of tlie State a true, vivid- and cor
nil idea of the tluee eventful days of July,
IftB, has been presented. The"(Jeltvsburg
exposition company was formed a year or
two since, whoc object was to illustrate
the battle, from lltst to last, hv a scries of
Immense paintings, when the necessary
capital was subset Ibed, the company ob
tained the services In tho eminent Phila
dclphl.i artist, Frank D. Briscoe. Ho se
lected his own corps of assistants, and now
the result is presented in the shape of ten
superb works of art. Colossal in size mag
iillicent in finish and correct in detail.
Eacli painting Is about the size of one for
which the Male paid Rothennel fJS.OOO,
n;id the. whole ten, from a complete and
correct history of the battle from the first
shot fired by Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania vol
unteers on the morning of July 1, until the
last moment of the struggle, when at half
past 3 o'clock, on July 3, Pickett's division
and Hill's corps were hurled back crushed
and defeated from Cemetery Ridge. Those
spl.emlld works will be shown ul the opera
house this afternoon and evening, and
every one nho loves his country and revcis
the memory of the men who fought and
won the noble victory should be present.
This beautiful and artistic drama of the
Battle of Gettysbuig, will exhibit In School
Hall, for the benefit of John D. Beitolctle
Post, 011 Thursday evening, April 11. Ad

Nearly all the contractors In Rochester
have notified the masons nnd helpers that
they must quit work unless they agree to
work ten hours per day. Jlost of the men
have stopped, and on many unfinished
buildings work Is al a standstill. Several
months ago the masons notified the con
tractors that they would work only nine
hours per day after April 1, and this lock
out is the result of the notice.
The 200 employees of the Mcllert Foun
dry and Machine Company .have been
advanced sums varying from five to ten
cents per day. The company's treasurer,
Peter D. Wanner, bluntly states that the
Iron trade does not warrant the increase,
but that It is granted to avoid trouble with
tho men. Very Considerate corpora
tion. The B500 carpenters employed by the
contractors and ship owners throughout
Chicago and suhuibs ceased Monday morn
ing, and building operations In that sec
tion will be suspended Indefinitely. The
leaders of the carpenters, who carry out
their demands for eight hours and .111 In
crease of wages decided then to renew the
contest, and think that now when building
enterprise Is reviving and carpenters are
wanted tho time has arrived' to make the
omployers yield. The carpenters uro well
organized. Scarcely 300 of their trade In
that distrect aro outside their ranks. The
decision was mado at a secret mass-meeting
held Monday, at which 0000 men were
present.
We are sorry to see so many papers de
voted to the Interests of labor, advocating
a principle In direct opposition to the labor
ing classes. We speak of the Georgian
theory of land confiscation a dognia. which
In theory, allures the honest worklucmati
with bright promises; a dogma, which put
to a practical test, would be a lamentable
failure. Take for instance, Tom and Pete
start out In life; capital on hand, a good
trade; by somo mischance Pete gets into
bad company, spends his wages as fast as
he gtts U; 'i'oin, qulel, steady and Indus
trious, keeps aloof from gay companions,
and makes good use of his snare hours and
lays by a Utile money every month. Tom's
employer seeing the good qualities In him,
after a time, advances his wages and gives
him a more responsible position. Pete goes
from bad to worse, while Tom steadily ad
vances. At fifty Pete is a confirmed vaga
bond, Tom Is in business for himself and Is
tlie owner of three or four nice dwellings
which yield him a nice competency. Here
we haye tho two sides of the case. Because
one man Is steady and Industrious in his
habits, and acquires wealth by thrift and
energy, common sense tells us that It Is
wrong to eonllscate tliatwlilcn represents
ttventy or thirty ycais of toil, for the bene
fit of the careless, devil-may-care laborer
who spends his money and time in the
corner grog shop.
The stones broken by tramps this winter
for being furnished with lodging and break
