Mrs. Carlisle Saya II I)ea Not Frown t'pon Uar Rleyola Hiding. Washington. March 16. Mrs. Carlisle, who ia the only one of the ladies of the cabinet who has learned to ride a wheel. Is amused by the statement late ly made that the president so far dis countenances the practice among women that he has asked the cabinet ladles not to tide. Mrs. Carlisle owns up to a fondness for riding and a con siderable degree of proficiency, but neither on nor the other has ever , tempted her, or probablr wer will tempt her to ride about the city streets. Her Washington riding has so far been en tirely confined to the field where aha Wined. The president, however, has not is sued any proclamation against the cab inet ladles wheeling, nor will his views on- this subject be of that sort at all. On the contrnry. If he said anything It would be In favor of the sport. BOYCOTT THE PASTOR. Other Ministers of Lud tag-ton 1H Not Share Rev. Mr. I.niifmon's Views. Ludlngton, Mich., March 16.

They even go to the extent of boycotting the minister ial association when meetings are held at the Methodist parsonage. Meanwhile teachers are dancing mer rily every Friday evening, and the dancing school prospers as never before. INDUSTRIAL. A Hazleton dispatch says: The old Ruck Mountain colliery, which was abandoned twelve years aso by the Buck Mountain Coal compuny, again gives promise of being the most pros perous mine In the region. About two years ago, Kckley n. t'oxe muue un ex amination of the- place. The geologi cal history of the strata was better known to him than to anyone else, aim he felt convinced that It would be worth reopening the mine, and he according ly negotiated a lease for the Cross Creek Coal company. Since Mr. Coxe's death the latter compuny has followed the lints luld down by hint. A new plane was built, a tunnel ariven to giie It natural' drainage jftrtd t a tripping opened.' A railroad Over which Ihij coal was to be carried to EckleyVus ulsd built. Prospectors were also at work searching for a new vein which Mr. Coxe felt sure existed. Last night the workmen discovered this vein and it is even richer than anticipated. From the borings it measures 124 feet In thick ness. Independent of the old works, which it was proposed to reopen and strip the outcrop, the new vein will warrant expensive shafting and means a new lease of life to the town so long deserted. -II- The following Is the production of anthracite coal inude up from the re ports of stato lnpeutors of mines: Total Total Production District.

RAILROAD NOTES. Sir William Van Horne. president of the Canadian Pacific Railway com pany, when asked regarding the al leged co-operation of the ilrand Trunk, Canadian Pacific, and Michigan Cen tral Railway companies in building the proponed $3,000,000 bridge from Windsor to Detriot. Ho said: "The Canadian Pacific has had nothing to do yet with the undertaking, but, If built, there is little doubt that all the railways cen tering at Detroit will make use of it. The Michigan Central has never com municated with us on th subject, but I know It hns been wanting to do some thing of the kind for years, na the truffle has practically outgrown the ca pacity of the ferry-boats." He snld that a tunnel was first spoken of, but Its practicability wa.i too uncertain to justify undertaking the enterprise. Such a tunnel, b-in.e so long, would render lines usi.-.tr r. v:-popular, as pas sengers, would mi';i lather cross a river on a britl; t:-.:.n, under it by means of a tu Progress Is re:)" ted In the reorgani zation of the Baltimore nnd Ohio Rail road company und it Is expected that the outlines of a plan will be announced before a great while. A member of the reorganization committee says: "Tne anulrs ot the company are not in such an unfortunate condition as has been reported by those who nre- nunifl to base their stutements upon the experts' examination. As a matter of fact such progress has been made bv the committee that it can be stated that Interest on all classes of the funded debt of the company will be paid reg. many nerearter. There Is a good chance, ton, that the floating delit may lie successfully managed In the samp manner as- the Atchison was. A new plan was adopted In the case of that road. ' It Is understood that the soft coal pool Is being rapidly consummated and that without a doubt It will be declared operative April 1. Prices nre to be ad vanced some 25 cents per ton nvr cur rent figures. Of this amount from 5 to 15 cents per ton will go to the railroads through Increased freight rates. The Chicago and Ohio River Traffic association will go out of existence on April 1, and thereafter will form a component part of the Central Freight association, which will take the place of the Central Traffic association. The St. Louis general passenger agents of Southern and Southeastern lines yesterday organized the Ohio and Mississippi Valley Passenger Rate com mittee to maintain rates and secure uniformity of action on passenger busi ness.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS. Wall Street Revlow. New York, March 16. Speculation at stock exchange to the regret of com mission houses continues narrow and professional. Today the transactions were 179.6S4 shares. There was little news afloat to affect speculation outside of the publication of the Northern Pa cific plun of re-organlzatlon. Even the effect of this important announcement was only passing in Its character. This probably can be explained by the fact that the provisions of the plan nre so far reaching that the street, quick us It Is to discount future events, has been unable to fully grasp the subject mat ter. The assessments on the stock, however, were considered heavy and some of the holders of the third mort gage were of thr opinion that thele in terests had been sacrificed for the- con sols. The first effect of the pubcllatlon of the plan was a decline In the common to 1 and In the preferred to 11. The consols 5s on the other hand, rose- from 45Vj to 49Vj(Ti48?4. The Northern Pacific Issues were not particularly In stock market, but In the bond department the dealings In the Issue of the company footed up in a grand total of $3,088,000. The general railway list presented little of Interest. At the opening the tenden cy was downward, but after a moderate reaction the market Improved. The In dustrials monopolized attention. To bacco which has been sold right and left of late, took on considerable strength and gradually worked nt 11414 ex-dividend of 3 per cent, rose to 115ri and closed at 1147s- The law Just passed by the relchstag was considered favorable to American refiners, fieneral Klectrlc rose to 37i and later receded to 36fff 36 on realizations. Leather preferred Jumped from 61 to Kli'i. and later yielded to 62. Laclede Gas at one time was in a. sham demand, rising to 29'w for the common and 84 for the preferred, with a subsequent reaction to 28V4 and 81 respectively. In the last hour of business the market was firm in tone, the strength of Tobacce and the steadi ness of Northern Pacific preferred hav ing had a good effect. Speculation left off firm. As a rule, however, the rail ways showed losses of 'AU tier cent. The gain In the Industrials ranged from to per cent, t-ucitio Aiau iuxi on the day. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN.
