Meeting of the Anthracite Men.
The Public Lcdyer says that an Import-
antmeetlng of the anthracite manageis was
held at the Reading Railroad office, Phlla,,
Tuesday. All of the coal mining aud
transporting Interests of the Schuylklll.Le
hlgh valley, andWyomIng.reglons were rep
resented at the meeting, and their action
upon the subjects under discussion was
harmonious. It was decided to maintain
the prices for anthracite during tho season
of 1888-89, beginning on Anrll 1. and to
gulate the output of coil so that tho mar
ket shall not bo burdened bv an overpro
duction this year. Tho methods adonted
for the regulation of the anthracite business
will not conflict with the law. There- will
be no agreement, pool, gr other papers
drawn up for slguatures by the managers,
but each party to the uuderstandlng will be
expected to adhere faithfully to the spirit
of the compact. It Is the opinion of those
ell Informed that the mothods adonted at
Tuesday's meeting will result in regulating
the anthracite tiado better than any of the
pools or "understandings between gentle
men," which have been in vogue in recent
ears.

Mayor Hewitt, of New York City. Is deter
mined tliattio other but the American flag shall
ave over the public buildings of that city. This
may not be w hat Is termed good politics yet It
is good patriotism good American sense. The
Rtars and stripes are an emblem of onr nation
ality of freedom. The foreigner who comes to
our shores for citizenship ought to be thotouuhly
Americanized, no matter what flag he served
under before, ho Is now an American, under the
protecting foldsot the American flag. There can
be no objection rendered should a citizen of for
eign birth deslro to huuor tho name of any good
and wlso fellow countryman. Thoie must he a

friends of the College, who have given a
written pledge to add 20 per cent to all

passed from this world's aflllctlou into the
glory of a brighter land. Deceased was a
loving wife and mother, a generous neigh

member. To the sorrowing relatives and
friends we extend our sincere sympathy, In
this the hour of their great and sore afllc
Hon. Deceased was aged about thirty-four
years.
.."Her suffering ended with the day: '
Vet lived she at Its close.
And breathed the long.long night away
In statue-like repose,
Hut when the sun, In all his state,
Allumed the eastern skies,
She passed through glory's gate,
And walked tu Paradise."

Europe comes next with 121,205 miles, Asia
with 13..01 miles, Australia with 8,045

Belgium has tho densest nutwork of rails,
and Sweden boasts more miles of rails in
