LIVE NEWS OF THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD PRESENT CONDITION OF AN THRACITE COAL TRADE. New Order with Reference to Deln ware, Lackawanna and Western Mlleago Rooks Goes Into Effect Today Somo Interesting Facts with Roferonce to Railroads Why Such Largo Orders for Steel Oars Are Being Placod Odds and Ends of Current Happenings. Anthracite Coal Trade. The Engineering and Mining Jour nal says: "It looks now as though the nnthraclto coal trndo had safely round ed the dunnerous point In this season's course, and would have smoother water and more favorable weather from now on. The great demand for coal from western points has relieved the press ure on the eastern market, that might have become dangerous, and left pro ducers free to turn their attentions east when the weather gets colder. "The high lake freights continue to hinder shipments ut the lakes, not withstanding that docks are not lining up at receiving ports. No doubt far more coal than usual will go forward this winter by rail. The Indiana, Il linois and Iowa trade can be thus sup plied without trouble. The territory that will suffer most Is that north west of Chicago, that Is usually sup plied from Milwaukee, Oreen Bay and Duluth, and in this region hard coal will be decidedly higher than last win ter, and consumption may show an actual falling off. "At tidewater points In the oast trade has not shown much Improve ment a3 yet. At interior points, how ever, nights are now so cool that fires ar.e a necessity and dealers are stock ing ud liberally. Everything Indicates liberal buying next month. "Quotations are unchanged, and It Is stated as a fact that actual selling prices are getting closer to quotations. Talk of another 23-cent advance to take effect October 1 Is heard. The ad vance Is doubted, but It may go through." i Big Demand for Coal. The Coal Trade Journal says this week: "There Is beginning to be noted signs of more demand for anthracite, and the whole range of reports Is of that turn In events which has been ex pected wuold eventuate about this time. There is going to be an activity before long which will take up the stocks of coal now held In flrst hands In all parts of the country and some of these have been of considerable magnitude and thus put the producers in very good humor. "We can hardly look for any increase In the circular, but surely there should be an Increase In the market price be yond what has been had by some pro ducers, and the averages of prices real ized for the next three months should show an ndvonce over those for the third quarter of the year. "As to tonnage, It will be seen from statistics that wo aro 5,000,000 tons nhcad of last year In point of produc tion, and as the average monthly ton nage for the last quarter of 189S was 4,500,000 tons, wo shall be doing very well Indeed If the same pace is con tinued this year. In view of all the conditions, one may safely say that from this time forward to the close of 99 there will be a good time" for the nnthraclte coal industry In all Its branches. "Coal seems to get a back seat in matter of transportation whenever anything that Days better is In the market, and we are having a lively ex perience of the truth of this well-worn etatement in all parts of the country. bo much so that cars are scarce on lines that have made a great deal of money out of the mineral tratllc. This has been partly true also of the In terior water traffic. "Under ordinary conditions the lake carriers are engaged In carrying -oal from the east and west, and stocking the great up-Iake bunkers for the winter supply, but this season tlwy have had more than they could do to haul other things, which contributed more generally to the exchequers of the various companies." Cars Are Going to Pieces. Many persons are wondering at the enormous orders now being placed by nil roads for steel box cars and box cars of the ordinary variety. They are not aware that the record breaking traffic of the past six months has been a test too severe for the thousands of wooden cars now in use all over the country. They do not know that all along the line of the Philadelphia and Reading, and all other great railroad systems of tho country the repair tracks nro crowded with "shopped" freight cars and that the car repair men have been working all summer making overtime with increased forces. It Is a fact that there was never a tlma In the history of railroading when there were so many cars out of servlco fttlCllR ! For Sanative Uses.

More than that many of the carriers that have been laid off nrn off ihu road to stay. An order has been issued In the west that all coal cars found with weakened end and side sills be condemned ana burned. It Is the sill that gives way under the strnln of a heavy train and causes disastrous wrecks. The cars of coal companies and private corpora tions seem to bo suffering most and ofllclala estimate that before next spring In the Western Pennsylvania coal district alone 1,000 cars will have to be condemned. These dumps seem to go to pieces all at once and are not fit even for branch service after they leave tho main line. It is said also that the "Pennsy" will have to declare out of service during tho winter thousands of cars and esti mates have placed the figures as high as 5,000. Forseelng this state of affairs the management has uloccd largo or ders for new carriers and will be able to meet next season's demands with an almost perfect rolling stock equip ment. D., L. & W. Mileage Books. The new order recently Issued by tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Halhoad company regarding mileage books goes Into effect today. Hereto fore persons holding these books were obliged to go to the ticket ofllces and exchange their mileage for regular tickets, but this method is now done away with and the books aro good on any of the trains running on, the main lino from New York to Buffalo and on their various branch roads. The books may also bo used by any one outside of tho purchaser, which U a desirable feature to the purchaser. Mr. Roberts Has Resigned. George Roberts, sr., who for the past 27 yean has been superintendent of the saw mill of the local car shnpi of the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western railroad, resigned from that position Tuesday last. Ho hns been succeeded by Frank Lamco, late of Chicago, who Is a per sonal friend of Master Car Builder L. T. Canfleld. The new appointee held n similar po-dilon with tho Rook Island Railroad company for many years. He is a pleasant young man 33 years of age. Railway Facts. The last report of the Interstate com merce commission shows that tho total number of railroads In tho United States Is 2.017, the total number of miles of tracks In operation 247,523. There are necessary 30,231 engines and 1,326,174 enrs. The total number of passengers carried for the vear wrs DOl.OCG.CSl, which Is an advance of 11, 000,000 over the previous year. The freight carried for the year mounted un to S79.00C.307 tons and tho gross earnings were $1,247,305,021, while the net eurnlngs were- $429.33?,313. Tho total amount of dividends declared wns $9G.2I0,SC4. Out of a total of 47,741 casualties C,i."9 persons were killed, or one for every 2,267,270 carried. This and That. The work of dilvlng the new slope at the Harwood colliery is oiogresslng rapidly. Tho Ponnsvlvanla Steel company Is rolling rails for a new electric rail way in Cuba. The Athens News says one hundred laborers aro wanted by the Lehigh Val ley railroad. They will be paid $1.20 a day. The Reading Railway company will, In the near future, ask for bids for several thousand coal cars. It Is said. The work of remodelling the Storricu Creek breaker at Peckville is practic ally completed and by next week It will bo In full operation. Among the charters recently granted by the state department at Ilarrlsburg was one to the Pennsylvania Hat ( om pany, capital $15,000. Three collieries, within i radius of four miles from Pottsvllle, will start work shortly. One of them, n new op eration, will have Its wheels .let In mo tion next week. M. E. Blaine, trnlnmaster of the Reading division of the Philadelphia and Reading railway, who was In charge at the time of the Exeter wreck, has resigned. Matthias A. Louck takes his place. An anthracite separator was recently placed In position nt the Cranberry breaker. This makes nine separators In operation in this breaker and all are giving good satisfaction. Sltieen others will bo put in within a short time. The Temple Iron company yesterday began the work of clearing away tho ruins of the burned Ml. Lookout break er and 'will proceed nt once with Its reconstruction. The now breaker, like the one It Is to succeed, will be of the most modern type. Tho strike at the Babylon colliery at Duryea has been nmlcably settled and operations will be lesumed next Monday morning. The mine has been Idle since August 1. except for a brief period when the men returned to work and then went out again. The Central Railroad of New Jersey notified patrons that yesterday and today were legal holidays In New York city on account of the Dewev celebra tion and that the delivery of mer'han dlse freights of nil kinds from Nov York freight stations and on the wa ters of New York bay has been sus pended. M. E. Blaine, who had been train master of the Reading division of the Philadelphia and Rending more than two years and who wns recently ap pointed chief train dispatcher by Su perintendent Besler, has resigned. Matthias A. Laucks, who has been a train dispatcher on the Lebanon Val ley and East Penn llneB for some time, takes the place of Mr. Blaine. A force of men aro engaged In Plac ing a steam shovel at the culm bankb at the Cranberry colliery at Hnzleton. On Monday the worn of moving the culm will begin. A roadbed has teen laid to. the mouth of the slope and tre refuse will bo run through the breaker and prepared for market. Tho com pany expects to run several hundred cars through the breaker dally. The Lehigh Valley railroad shops at Hozleton will not bo leased for new in dustrial purposes because the company wants too much. Several capitalists were prepared to establish an Industry there if tho shops could have been leased at reasonable terms, but tho company not only demanded a high rent, but nlso asked that tho lessees pay tho Insurance on tho buildings and keep them In good repair. Recently a complaint was flcd with State Factory Inspector Williams, of New York, that tho Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Railroad company paid Its employes In checks. The in spector asked tho attorney general for nn opinion relative to the legality of tho action of the railroad company. The latter holds that under tho stnuta relating to weekly payments of wnges to employes, payments are required to be In cash, Payment by check Is not In compliance with thu letter of tho law. . CLASS MUSIC TEACHING. Mr. J. Alfred Pennington. Quotes History on the Subject. Editor Tribune. Sir: Among the Musical Notes of last baiuruays xriuuno ttiero appeared a short nrtlclo tinder tho head of "A few good reasons why music Btudents should tnko prlvato lessons in preference to class Instruction." By "class Instruction" the writer evidently means the Conservatory system as taught In tho Conservatories of the world. In tho course of tho article nbovo al luded to occurs tho following remarkable statement. "Another reason Is because most of our lending musicians and solo ists received their Instruction privately." If tho writer means the great musicians and soloists throughout tho world vo can concludo that ho Is painfully Ignorant of tho truth. With your permission. I dcslro to prove tho fnlslty of tho quoted assertion. With but few exceptions, the famous musicians of this century have been educated in Conservatories, or have Indorsed the sys tem by teaching It In Conservatories, or In their own homes. To prove this assertion, let us tnko In alphabetical order the celebrated pianists and famous teachers of the piano. My authorities nro Khleri's "Tho Tono World," a book of biographical sketches. and Ehrlleh's "Celebrated Pianists of Pnst and Present Time." Both of these works aro translations from the original Ciorman A copy of tho latter Is In tho Albright library. Eugeno d' Albert studied with the great pianist, Franr. Llrzt, who taught In classes (seo Fay's "Student Llfo In Ger many"); Helnrlch Barth, the great Ber lin plnnlst, was educated In Tuuslg's Con servntorlum In Berlin, nfterwnrd taught In the Stern Conserntorlum, and Is now rnnnpntixl tilfli thn T?,.-1 TJIr.h C2Mn.nl I for Music (Conservatorium) in Berlin. linns von Buelow, one of tho most fam- ous plnnlxts that the world has known, taught In tho Stern Conservatorium. Chopin, tho famous composer, studied In the Conservatorium at Warsaw, Po land. D.innreuthcr was educated at tho I.elpslc Conservatorium; Louis Dlemer, the leading French pianist, received his lnlructlon nt tho Paris Conservatoire; Alexander Driyschock wns professor at the Conservatorium nt St. Petersburg, of which Rubinstein was director; Helnrlch' Bhrllch, uf whom the writer had tho lienor of being a pupil, Is now, nnd hns been for many years, professor at tho Stem Conservatorium In Berlin. Annette Esslooff, one of the best lady pianists. st"dlcd nt tho St. Petersburg Contervntorlum, afterward with Lesehe tltzky, tho most celebrated teacher of the present day, who teaches only In classes. IMounrd Grieg, probably tho most cele btatcd oompo.scr now living, who Is a fine plnnlst, was educated nt the Lelpsic Conservatorium. Albert Gruenfeld was educated at the Prague Canseivatnrium. flufncl Jnseffy, one of the greatest liv ing pianists, now resident In New York, was educated In T.iulg's Conservatorium, nnd is now teaching In n New York Con tervatory. Theodore Klrehner was a pupil of the LMiisle Conservatorium, and was appointed professor In tho Dresden Conservatorium. Clotllde Klcebers, ono of the best lady pianists, was educated In the Paris Conservatoire; Theodore Kul lnk, one of the most fnmous planlstH and teachers of this century, founded the Stern Conservatorium at Berlin, from which ho retired to found his own, which was known as the New Academy of Mu sic. I have alrendy said that Theodor Les chctitzky. In his school In Vienna, tenrh. cs the conservatory system, as may be s-een from letters of his pupils which ap pear from time to time In the musical journals. I have also mentioned that Franz I.lszt. the most famous pianist that has ever lived, gavo Instruction In classes. William Mason, a well-known pianist and teacher studied at tho Lelpsic Conservatoilum. Mendelssohn, tho great composer, founded, in IS 13, the Lelpsic Conservato rium. of which he was the director until bis death. His partiality to the class- fcystem Is shown by his own words as follows: "An Institution such as the ConservniOiy, whose object Is to give its pupils an opportunity of making them Fflves thoroughly acquainted with nil those branches of study, the knowledge of which Is necessary nnd Indispensable to the educated musician, and to educate them thoroughly and practically In tho same, has this advantage over the prl vato Instruction of tho Individual, that by the participation of fcevernl In the same lesson and In the same studies a truo musical feeling Is awakened and kept fresh among tho pupils; that It promotes Industry and spurs on to emulation; and that It Is u preset vntlve ugulnst one sldedness In education and taste." Men delssohn's opinion, It will be seen, Is somewhat ut variance with that of the writer In last week's Tribune. Sophie Mi nter was educated at the Stuttgart Conservatorium; S. B. Mills, a Is the feel you and Dependable (Ming Is mm if.---5 Boyle 416 Lackawanna Ave. former well-known teacher In this coun try, studied at the Lclpslo Conservato rium; Moscholcs, tho great pianist and teacher, nnd co-laborer of Mendelssohn's, nuthor of tho well-known studies, Opus 70, taught In tho Leipslo Conservatorium from 1846 until his death In 1S70. Padcr cwskl, probably tho most celebrated pln nlst of tho present time, flrst studied at tho Conservatorium at Warsaw, after ward taught nt tho Conservatorium at Strasburg, nnd Inter studied with Lcschc tltky. Ernst Perabd, ono of tho best American pianists, received his Instruc tion at tho Lelpsic Conservatorium. Karl Hclnlcke, who boa for bo many years been connected with the musical llfo In Lelpsic, hns nil of this time taught In the Lelpsic Consorvatorlum. Wo como now to another of tho most celebrated names In music, thnt of An ton Rubinstein, who In 1562 founded, under lloynl nusplccs, tho Conservatoire nt St. Petersburg, and was Its director for many years. Nicholas Itublnstcln, his brother, studied In Kullak's Conserva torium and founded a Conservatory at Moscow. Franz Hummel was educated nt tho Brussel's Conservatoire, and bc enmo professor nt tho Stern Conservato rium. Camtlle Saint Sacns, tho greatest of tho French composers, also a fine pianist, was educated at tho Paris Conservatoire. Emll Saner, who mado a concert tournco In this country Inst year, was educated at tho St. Petersburg Conservatoire, and afterward studied with Liszt. Xavler Scharwenka, tho pianist and composer, was educated In the Kullak Conservato rium in Berlin. Madam Clara Schumann, wife of tho grent composer, nnd probably tho great est lady pianist that ever lived, was from 1S7S until her death, a few years since, chief professor of the nlnno nt the Con servatorium at Frankfort-on-the-Maln. Alexander SJlottl, another pianist of world-wldo reputation, studied first nt tho Conservatoire at Moscow, afterwari' with Liszt. Karl Tauslg, whose early death prevnted him from becoming a rival of Llzt. founded his own Conservato rium In Berlin. Other notublo pianists nnd teachers not mentioned beforo ore Oodowsky, tho Rus sian pianist, who teaches In a Conserva tory In Chlcngo; Carl Baerman, who teaches In tho New England Conservatory In Boston; Carl Fnclten, who has his own school In Boston where the class-system Is In constant use; W. H. SheTWood, the best Amerlcnn-born pianist, who tenches In a Chicago Conservatory; Constnntln Sternberg, who has his own school In Philadelphia. Among others who received their edu cation In tho European Conservatories are Sir Arthur Sullivan, Stcmdnlo Ben nett, WllhelmJ. tho violinist; Georgo Henschel, tho baritone; Jensen and G.ido, the composers, and Popper, tho 'cellist. Joachim, tho greatest violinist that has ever lived, is at the head of tho Royal High School for Music, In Berlin, which, as I hnve said. Is a Conservatorium. Madame Marchesl, the most celebrated teacher of singing living, was for many years connected with tho Conservatorium nt Vienna, Sho has a school of her own In Paris, tho "Marchesl Ecolo do Chant." where sho teaches only In classes. Sho absolutely refuses to give prlvato les sons to nnybO'H In her autobiography, "Marchesl and Music," she savs: "I am of the opinion that class Instruction In every branch of study is superior to private lessens." After reading the above array of facts tho statement mado by tho writer In last week's Tribune that "most of our leading miirlclans nnd soloists received their In struction prlvatel ." seems somehow de cidedly wide of tha mark. His last con fident remark that "it li very plain, nnd we mutt admit that the best nnd most rapid way to nttaln tho hlfjhest proficiency possible In music, cither singing or play ing. Is by prlvnte Instruction," would sound more In consonance with tho opinions of tho greatest musicians of this century if It read "it Is very plain, nnd wo must ndmlt that tho best nnd most r.ipid way to attain tho blchest proll cienev possible In music, either singing or playing. Is by Instruction In the Con servatory (lass sjstem, as studied nnd j fl taught by the greatest musicians of the world." Very truly yours, J. Alfred Pennington, Director of tho Scranton Conservatory of Music.
