being a very religious city as well as
un electric city. Not only has there

donned sackcloth and ashes. P'or the

same stag-nation In the social world,
but after Kaster there promises to be a
season of great gayety.

Philadelphia Stockholder: While
there Is an absence of nflicial knuvvl
ede of results of F binary operations In
the ntitlnaclb- industry, enough data
is at band to i.ermlt of a fairly close
comparison wltlt the business of Feb
ruary, IMi.'t. If the statement of various
Interests Is to be credited, the produc
tion of February this year wus not far
from L'.fiWUHM tons. This was a de
crease compared with the correspond
ing month latt year of tlHU.lMfi tons.
Prices received on this reduced ton
nuge are, of course, largely a matter of
estimate. While the circular was on a
basis of i".'A1 net for stove coal, it may
be assumed thsit this figure was far
from that realized, owing to the exist
ence of old orders and the almost total
luck of new business until .the latter
part of the month. During December
the price of stove coal was fr'.IiOfalt.-JO.
There was considerable contracting
during this month and also during Ju.i
ttary, when prices were somewhat low
er, it is probable that the February
average was not far from the average
of December. If this is taken at $.'!..!",
it was JO cents above the Februai-y.
ISHfi, price. Other slues of coal during
the lust named period were relatively
higher than during the month Just
passed. It is sate to say that the two
schedules were on the average not far
apart, or, in other words, that the com
panies received as good prices this year
as last, only on a reduced tonnage.
This smaller output is in a measure off
set by their ability to clean up stocks
on hand and place the trade In a strong
position for spring business, it Is un
derstood that the March output is to Yte
limited to L'.ToO.ooo tons. If this figure
Is not exceeded it will show a reduc
tion compared with March last year of
1.000,000 tons. The circular, on a basis
of $:!.60 for stove coul, is being main
tained: it Is ild cents above the March
1803, price. '

Intention of Chief Engineer Brown, of
the Pennsylvania, railroad, to celebrate
the completion of the bridge proper
by taking President Roberts across
on an engine run upon the temporary
rails put down for construction pur
poses, but the prevalence of the very
high winds of the pust few days de

In view of the coming national con
ventions of the great political parties
the action of the board of managers
of the Joint Traffic association is of
Interest. The board holds thnt advance
committees as leaders of parties to
large conventions are not entitled to
free transportation, nnti the granting
of the same is u violation of the asso
ciation's 'tiles. A rate of one fare for
the round trir is authorized for the
Prohibition convention, at Plttshuig;
Republican convention, nt St. Louis,
ami the Democratic convention at
Chicago: detesi of sale and time limit
to be agreed ur-on hereafter and sub
mitted to the managers 'for their ap
proval. Steps are being- taken by the first
mortgage bondholders of the Pittsbui'K
and Western Kailroad company for the
protection of their interests. This ac
tion is necessary through fear that it
may be the jtui nose of the Baltimore
and Ohio romnany. In whose interest
the property Is now being managed,
to default upon these bonds and ter
hnps In other ways to undertake coer
cion of the tirst mortgage bondholders
Into sacrifices for the benefit of junior
securities. The Baltimore and Ohio
owns practically all of the Pittsburg
ami Western stock, a large number of
second mortgage bonds, and is the In
dorser of the company's floating debt.
The present receiver, Mr. King, was
vice president of Baltimore and Ohio
when the property was acquired, and
it was largely through his recommen
atlons that the acquisition was made.
It is therefore assumed that whatever
ran be done to benefit the junior se
curities in which the Baltimore and
Ctiio has greatest interests "will be
done. If the majority of the bonds are
placed in the bands of a committee
charged with the sole duty of preserv
ing the value of the first mortgage
bonds, the receiver In charge would be
forced to pay the Interest promptly
as It matured, or the committee .con
trolling the majority of the bonds wViuld
lie able to secure the appointment of a
receiver, on their mortgage immediate

Frank-Perley, manager of Mme, Mod

business of the season. Although that
esteemed lady Is rapidly recovering her
health, It is deemed best not to resume
her tour this season. She could not be
ready for work before April, and Air.
Perley believes that there would be car
tain disadvantages In resuming the sea
son nt so late a day after such an Inter
ruption In the plans of his star, but
states that she will renew her tour next
fall under the most brilliant auspices.
I'p to the time when she was compelled
by Illness to cancel her dates Alme.
Alodjeska's business was extremely
prosperous, and there was little doubt
that she would have distanced all for
mer records of financial success. She
Is at present resting at the home of her

course of two or three weeks, to set out
for California.

Sarah Bernhardt, Fanny Davenport

port said last week that she was ready
for the fray, although she made the de
claration with n mock tragedy air,
worthy a Sardou climax. "It will be
l-Yance, Italy ami America." she said,
and of course poor America will come
out very much the worse for wear. It
nhvays does. I never knew so unpa
triotic a people. I have seen Bern
hardt, and I do not claim to rival her.
I have not seen Duse and know nothing
of her methods. One thing I do claim,
and that Is, I put just as much study
into my parts as they do in. theirs. And
I do another thing that neither Sarah
Bernhardt nor Duse can do 1 trans
late and adapt my own plays."

I Stories of the strange discrepancies
in the salaries of the singers in theAU
bey Grau company are lold from
time to time, and they are often as sur
prising when they are true as when
they are not. When Calve sang here
first and made the opera season a suc
cess. It was said, says a New York au
thority, that she received a compara
tively small sum In accordance with a
contract that she made with Maurice
Grau before her fame in Kurope was as
great as It Is now. The Opera house
was burned down, anil she came to
America a year later than she had con
tracted to. In the meantime she ac
quired a vogue which made her worth
several times as much as she was when
she signed her contract for this coun
try. Maurice Grau denied this story,
and it is a fact that she received lt)0 a
night when she appeared here first.'
Plancon, who Is one of the greatest fa
vorites at the Opera house, and Is,
me-reover, as fine a bass as the world

Miss Sadie Kaiser, the young prima

by her excellent work In concert en
gagements. Allss Kaiser was recently
soloist at a is-rforniance of Handel's
oratJilo "L'Allegro de II Pensieroso."
at Newbury, and received a most en
thusiastic reception, even taking the
laurels from Harper Kearton, prlmo
tenor of Westminster Abbey. The
Newbury News speaks of Miss Kaiser's
efforts as follows: "The 'L'Allegro de
11 Pensleroso' formed the principal
part of the programme, the Ichor parts
being taken by Air. Harper Kearton,
who was well received In all his efforts.
The soprano solos were sung by Miss
Sadie Kaiser, a lady who possesses a
very clear high voice anil had repeat
edly to bow her acknowledgments for
the applause bestowed, especially after
her rendering of the nightingale air
"Sweet Bird " in which Air. Hill's flute
obbligato blended well with the thrills
of the singer." The day following the
Newbury concert Allss Kaiser was re
quested to sine at a recital given by
J. 8. Llddle, a famous organist nt a
town called High Wycombe, in place
of a. Imly who hud been tukefl sud
denly ill. The young lady good natur
edly consented, ami her success In cap
tivating the audience may be best told
In one of the notices of the affair that
appeared in the Wycombe newspapers,
which Is given below: .Musical recital
at Trinity Congregational church. The
third of the recitals for the people was
given on Tuesday evening, when Air.
.1. S. Llddle. organist, and Miss Annie
U'imle. vocalist, were to appear, in
anticipation of the musical treat iu
store the church was quickly crowded,
and In a very short time there was
"standing room only." At the com
mencement, Mr.- A. Vernon announced
with regret that owing to illness Miss
Annie Wintle was nimble to appear.
Air. Llddle, Iniwever. had brought with
hint a young American lutly, Aliss Sa
die Kaiser, who is studying music in
London, und who proved herself an ex
cellent substitute. The lady possesses
a charming voice of a most flexible
character. . and her performance
till jughntit was delightful. Her first
song. "Oil Had I Jubul's Lyre!" (1 Ian

and although a request was made on
the programme that no audible mani
ftstationsiif feeling should be exhibited,
so enraptured were those present with
Aiiss Kaiser's rendering that they
found It impossible to receive it with
that silence of appreciation which Is
said to be golden, and Immediately
broke out in thunderous ailimse, and
would nut desist until the song was
repeated. Her other song, "Forever
wilh the Lord" (Gounod I, wus received
with equal approbation, and necessi
