A similar application was made some lime ngo and was refused. Tlii controller's runtom Is to pay the oldest Judgments Hist, out of the ut terly Inadequate nppioprlntlou made uvery yviv for Judgim-nta nnd Inciden tals. The parties who will apply for the mandamus, It Is believed, have Judgments of as lato a date as 1SD1, wheicas then! aru borne as far back as 189S, which have not yet been paid. This only emphasizes riRiiln the ne cessity of having n bond Issue to clean up these Judgments. Controller Howell favnrr this plan nnd will call the at tention of councils to the matter In the near future. There are now out standing nearly JSfl.OOO worth nf Judg ments, and t pay these councils ap propriated this year only JIS.lSl'.U. Not only this but this nppmpilutton Is drawn upon for various things when a councilman finds no ether place to take money from. Th'Ro Judgments draw yl.x per cent.

The new arrangement secures creator fcafely to trains. The Lehigh Valley wrecking crews with headquarters at Coxton yard and Vllkes-15arrc, will hereafter be sum moned to their duties by a call boll. The company is now having a bell placed in the house of every member of the wrecking crews, and when a wreck occurs hereafter the train dis patcher, by pressing a button In his oJIicc, can apprise every member of the crew that he is wanted Instantly. The old method was to summon them by means of call boys. The new scheme will save much valuable time when the services of the wieekers is needed in a hurry. AN ENJOYABLE SOCIAL. The April letter of the Anthracite Coal Operators' association says of the Market: "The anthracite market during the past month has shown little activity, dealers purchasing only enough to meet their current demand. Trices remained fairly firm at all points, though there was for a while a ten dency to make concessions In order to move coal. "April hus opened with the an nouncement of spring prices, bnsed on $3.90, f. o. b., for stove and che3tnut, n reduction of CO cents from the winter circular. This rate, It Is anticipated by the selling companies, will remain Arm until the summer schedule Is made, and there is an apparent inten tion by he companies to maintain it firmly. "That this will bo within the power nf the eellers seems quite nrobable from the conditions governing the market. The exceptionally actlv in dustrial situation, which can be ex pected to exist tluough the remainder of this year owing to binding con tracts, will necessarily bring nbout a largo consumption of nnthraclt". both for domestic purposes and for manu facturing. The former resuPa from the regular employment and laiger earnings of all working people, Mid the latter will come both from the ac tivity of the manufactories and the difficulty in securing an adequate sup ply of soft coal. "On the other hand, since the pres ent output Is restricted to the esti mated demand and stocks carried by both the selling companies and by the dealers are unusually small, any In crease In consumption may cause a scarcity of coal with a consequent stiffening In prices. Then, to these natural conditions must bo ndded the possibility of delays at the mines as a result of the restless feeling of labor. "These conditions are being recog nized by buyers In the Middle anil Eastern states, who are ho Ing a de sire to provide against emergencies, but In the "West there Is little move ment. The fear of a shortage of coal last year and the strenuous efforts to lay In abundant stocks, were offset by a relatively mild winter, and, as a re sult, the demand was less than antici pated and the coal moved slowly. Hut the failure to lay in a sufficient sup ply this year may easily bilng nbout the scarcity which was feared last year. "A general view of the market and the conditions existing Justify the be. lief that It will increase In strength, slowly or rapidly, depending upon th development of the factors by which It is governed."

LANE LECTURE ON BRITON VS. BOER SOUTH AFRICAN ENGINEER HEARD AT GUERNSEY HALL. Those Who Expected Any Rabid Views on the Subject Were Disap pointed, as He Contented Himself with a Few Mild Observations Dealing with the Conflict, When He Hnd Concluded Presenting His Stereopticon Views Boers, He Said, Are Prejudiced Against All Anglo-Saxons. Stereopticon views of South Africa and scenes on a voyage leading down to it, rather than his own views on tne all-engrossing event transpiring there, nnd the causes leading up to It. comprised in the main the illustrated lecture on "Urlton vs. Itoer," given at Guernsey hall, last night, by ,1. S. Lane, M E., of Akron, Ohio, a former jesldent of Johannesburg. He Is decidedly pro-Hritnlp and did not hesltat? to say so, but refrained f i om discussing his reasons for this position at any great length, saying In explanation of his reticence that 'he would not care to attempt as a lateral fentute of a stereopticon leetuic to make clear a subject that, hereabouts, is so generally misunderstood. He con'enteJ himself -wltli saying at the conclusion of the luutein views, that he went to Africa very favorably disposed towards the Uoers. but the moie he iv if them ihe mere ho was constrained to change his opinion. "Their country is a republic and they arc Christi'ins In name it Is true, but they uro two or three hundred years behind the times," Mr. Lane went on to say. "Their Ill-treatment of the t'ltlandern Is wholly responsible for the present conflict. Persons In America who liken the Boers to our colonial an cestors do not evidently stop to study tin. ouestlon closely. The Roston tea party was the result of taxation with out representation. The present war resulted from a similar cause, but the English are In this instance on the other side of the question. "Of course the floors do not compel anyone to live In their country. They say 'If you don't like our form of gov ernment you can get out.' The 1'it landers. English, American, Irish, Scot"h and others, who have estab lished themselves there, and who have developed the country cannot avail themselves of this alternative. In most cases their all Is invested there. They cannot afford to leave It. They can't take a mine away." Among the pictures shown by Mr. Lane was a view of Johannesburg, taken In 18S6, and four views taken ten yeais later fioin the same spot the ISSt picture was photographed frora. The hrst showed a village on a treekvs plain. Tin- latter ones showed a city the size of Seranton, w Ith residences worth $200,00') almost hidden from view hv transplanted folloge. One of Mr. Lane's statements that caused much comment was that tne lloerh are quite piejudieed against Americans' and every other Anglo Saxon, as they are against the British Mr. Lane Is the father of H.
