INDUSTRIAL.
As a result of their meeting in Phila
delphia on Tuesday the soft coal men
have agreed to enter into an agreement
fo"r the maintaining of prices and the
restriction of tonnage for the ensuing
year. In consequence of this action
tbe old Seaboard Steamboat Coal as
sociation, which has been afactor In
the trade for a number of years, will
be dishunded on March 1. The new
plan culls for a restriction of tonnage
aud a minimum price (which Is to be
fixed later l. on all coal sent toxtlde
water points. To effect this the rail
road companies have been brought in
to the plan, and they have pro-rated
tbe tonnnge among themselves, each
region being given a certain percent
age, and this in turn being subdivided
uinoiig operators of that district. To
effect this organization there will lie a
committee comix-ted of nine members.
which Is to be called the executive com
mittee. This committee has been
chosen from i.ie various regions, the
more important procuring the larger
representation. The selection is as fol
lows: Clearfield region. Beech Creek
region und Cumberland region, two
reoresetitatlves each: Pocahontas.
Chesapeake and Ohio alid West Vir
ginia Central regions, one represen
tative 'each. It Is thought that this
agreement will be maintained, as it
will be Impossible for the coal com
panies to ship more than the arranged
percentage, us the railroad companies
will refuse to haul more than has been
allotted. Besides adhering to the
amount of tonnage agreed upon the
members of the association also agreed
to not sell their coal below a certain
price and as every onerutua signified
their consent to abide by this, there
will be very little chance for the cut
ting of prices. While the new tide-
wuter prices huve not been agreed
upon It Is understood that they will
not be lower than Jil.ffi ser ton at tide
water points. There Is a probability
that the minimum price will be higher
than the above. The bituminous coal
trade has been in a chaotic state for
some time pa!t. and many of the
operators have worked their mines at
a loss. The competition has been very
great, and uh business began to fall
off prices were reduced, and In this
way the cutting grew from bad to
worse. The new association takes In
every region In the bituminous coal
fi( Id which ships to tidewater points.
The executive committee Is to have full
control of the affuirs of the associa
tion, but each operator Is to handle
his own product. There was some talk'
All Her Life-Happy Raleass at Last
of Miss Alice Young, Who Re
sides at 392 Alexander Street,
Rochester, N. Y.
(From the Rochester Democrat and Chron
icle )
Our representative was received very
pleasantly ut X Alexander street, by
Miss Alice Young, who told how since
childhood she had been held In the bond
age of pain from her buck, never re
membering the time that she had not
suffered pain or aches in the region of
tlie kidneys. Many were the means
she used to find relief, but there seemed
no remedy for her case and she re
mained a captive: then along comes
these little enemies to backache, Doan's
Kidney Pills, and a half box releases
the bonds, as one by one the aches and
pains disappear, she finds herself a
slave to pain no more, by their con
tinued use. She says: "1 was entirely
relieved of all my suffering and now I
am perfectly strong, healthy and well."
J low did you take this remedy?"
Mis Young was asked by our repre-
TM'tiitive. Mie replied that she fol
lowed directions explicitly. Miss Young
then told how the malady affected her.
fsiylri: her symptoms were: "Stooping.
bcnuin;; over, walking or standing any
length of time always gave me a puln
in tbe small of my back. I had a pain
In the kidneys all the time and If I
caught cold It would always settle
there: the pain I suffered was of a
very exhausting nature;' at night I
could only lie Hut on my back, any
other position causing pain and suffer
ing; the nerves passing up my back
were affected and this brought with It
severe headaches, but as I said before
Doan s Kidney Pills have removed all
pain and suffering entirely and 1 never
felt better and healthier In my life."
