Changes in tho Anthracite Coal
Trade nnd alvea Its Present Stntus.

The quarterly letter of the anthracite
fctml operators just Issued says con
cerning tho coal business:
Tboscar closed has been on exceptional ono for
llio anthracite coat trade. Tho unuual prosperity
In Reticrat Industrial conditions created a more
nc the demmd for tho fuel than ever before, nnd
this, gicatly assisted in bringing to a MtWactory
oncliHion tho various differences which had ex
isted between the Individual operators and tranij
portltiir railroads. The result of the strong nnd
rirmst cilorts which had hcen mado by Ud asso
ciation wire to conclude contract between these,
two which, while not all that was desired, vvcrci
more equitable nnd fair than any hitherto made
by the tiansuorlcrs.
further, the transporting Intcicst, tliroiixli the
closer Intimacy which hid hem caused by the
ncciMlty for united notion to resist tho ctlorts
uf the Individual operators, had before them in
tiinglble form, tho udvuiit.iKos which might ic5ult
from maintaining nich harmony, nnd, for its
fuiihcrnncc, some of the companion secured rep
Herniation In tlio dlrcctoralo of others, anil a
mutual, though majbe Intangible, uiidcistanding
vvns arrived at regarding tho various matters of
proportionate production nnd shipment, and of
the gcnnal schedule of selling prices. In olher
words', the moad term of "community of inter
cut" was applied lo cover the harmony of pur
xhp width was to be followed.
Tho unusual demand fur fuel has undo this
policy an caiy one to follow. There his bce.i,
tluoughout the jcar, an eager market for every
ton producctl and consequently shipments by ,.ny
iuteicbt In excess of Its quota wcro not n bcrious
mailer, since tliey were only to meet the cunent
demand and could not allect prices. It has not,
Hiorrfoic, been a jcir to tc.-t tlie strength of
tin- 'community of Interests" plan. This must
wait until the tide of the demand begins to ebb,
for then will come the client to keep afloat.
In tho meantime, however, some of the selling
companies are miking ceilain changes in their
methods which, if carried as far as is nntlcipatrd,
will do much toward maintaining the market
on a substantial basis whatever may occur. The
eoiittol of the Lcliiirli and Wllkes-llarrc Coal
(ompany by tho Philadelphia and Heading eom
Viny; of the New York, Suquehanna and
Wctcrn, and the Pennsylvania Coal company by
the i:rle, reduces the principal selling companies,
in control, to the following:
COMPANIKS IX COXTIIOL.
Philadelphia and Heading Coal and Iron com
(any, Lehigh Valley Coil company, i:r!o Hnll
ro.id company, Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Hallway company, Dclavvaic ami Hudson torn
piny, rennsjliaiiU ltiilroad Coal companies, New
York, Ontario and Western Hallway company,
Cove Hrothcrs and company, incorporated.
The tlrst three havo developed u "community
or interest" by repiesentation of each in the
bojrd of the others. Tho Delaware and Hudson
company can no longer be counted an aggressive
factor: "the Pennsylvania Hallroad companies have
a large non-competitive line business and hive
never taken tho Initiative in cutting prices at
tidewater; Coo Iiros. & Co., Inc., have alwajs
stated their position frankly and maintained prices
when possible, and the New- York, Ontario nnd
Western, and Delawaie, Lackaw.mni and West
ern will undoubtedly act in harmony with the
general interests of the market. This ts all tho
more probable since officcis of these latter com
panies, as well as of the first three named, nic
in the directorate of tho Temple lion company,
at the meetings of which it will be possible to
outline any policy which it may be thought
desirable to cairy foiward.
Still further, as tending to nsnuio future liai
niony, numerous of the colliciies owned by in
dividual opeiators have ben purchased by the
coal companies controlled by the railioads, and
contracts have been entered into with the ma
jority of tho remaining indlviduil operators for
the purchase of all of the coal lemaining under
ground, or in other words, so long as the colllciy
can be operated. This places in the hands of the
Felting companies already named, as ncaily 03
can be estimated on tho pioduction of 1!X)I,
about ninety-one per cent, of tho marketable
output, leaving about nine per cent, to be han
dled by commission houses and the individual
mining companies.
These aio conditions which have never before
existed in the nnlhiacitc industry and their re
sults, as shown in the largely increased earnings
of tho railroads and their coal mining; and sell
ing companies, are most distinct pioof of tho
validity of the arguments of the individual oper
ators, as expressed in the letter, for a lobulation
of the supply to meet the demand, a stable prlcu
with a movable scale to correspond with tho
consumption during tiie spring months, and for a
reduction in the expense of maiketing by means
of a general selling agency In olher woids, for
tho adoption of businesslike luellods in handling
the product.
"GHATITDDi: ACCOUNT."
It is doubtful whether this as-oclttion will to
echo from the railroads the h Unite of thank-, to
which it is entitled for bringing about the3t
changes. Probably the tailroads, it they cast up
tho cobt of not before doing what they have now
done, will chaige this against their "gratitude
iiccount" and then "foiget" the balance due on
future prospects. They have never been tilled
with an active deslic to show appreciation and
ran readily fall back on the ceue that wreaths
of lauiel leaves aio not often given the victor
by the vanquished.
The labor situation at the mines has been
without serious disturbance nor is any to bo
anticipated in the near future. The union has
been endeavoring to strengthen its organization
with tho probable intent of miking some futuia
demands in the spring. It is doubtful, however,
if it will take any ladlcal measuics, slncp the
majority of tho miners havo been earning a
high rate of wages and will not feel Inclined to
support a movement which might brlns about a
period of enforced idleness, witli no material re
mits in the end. That is nlvwys n rcitiln ills
silblicd clement mid it is to thU t hat tho argu
ments of the libor leaders appeal, The condition
of the spring market for anthracite will contrlb
ut largely to deciding what strength tho union
will be utile to show,
Tho feature of the anthracite mirket has been
the unuaiial demand for the fuel which, owing to
the impoMlblllly of securing sufllelent motive
power or cais to move the tonuaijc, and indeed,
the difficulty in producing; much moie than was
moved, has kept prices firm nt u high figure
and with little prospect of u change until thu
demand falls materially, The storage and 1 flail
yards in all of the principal markets have been
able to secure and carry less fuel than the supply
for a normal 3 car's demand. Consequently, If
tho present rate of demand continues, the usual
mid-winter difficulty In mining and tianspoillng
may neatii an actual scarcity of fuel,
it is probable also, that tho mining companies
will endeavor to fill their storage jauls so soon
as practicable, .in order to have a reserve to meet
any possible emergency which might arise front
labor disputes, and this will in Itself, pi event
any possibility of overloading the market until
thqse questions are settled ami the spring chcular
of prices has been issued.
With a nuikct of this chaiacter the piospects
for the curiciit year aro exceptionally favoiuble,
mid particularly so since the various selling
companion will undoubtedly use their every cf.
fort to avoid offering tonnage in excess of the
current demand.

have been nt work for several months
now, and from all accounts little head
way has boon made.
The Delaware and Hudson company
lias a force of carpenters at work at
No.- S breaker, In Plymouth township,
enlarging the coal pockets. The out
put of this mine has Increased wonder
fully of late and the coal Is being
cleaned faster than It can be loaded
Into the big cars, hence the necessity
for enlarging the pockets.
Tho Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company has Issued orders no
tifying all employes at tho Avondalo
and Woodward collieries that they
must be vaccinated before Wednesday

CONFLAGRATION
AT PATERS0N
(Concluded from Page 1.)
P. Olcott, who woh In charge, said ho
did not expect to Unit more than a
score of people who needed assistance.
Chief of Police Groul and Sheriff
Slurr established temporary ofllces In
tho city treasurer's ofllco and the
sheriff swore In ilfty special deputies,
who wore Immediately Bent, to tho
burned districts for the protection of
life and property.
Governor Murphy nnd Muyor Itlnch
llffc said they were extremely grateful
for the asslstuncc given by the lire de
partments In tho nearby cities, which
responded promptly to the call,i for aid.
"I am deeply grateful to the men who
so promptly came to our assistance,"
said tho mayor, "and were it not for
their (ulck arrival and subsequent
heroic work, I am afraid that tho city
of Pntcrson would by this time havo
been a desolate, black spot. Too much
credit cannot be given by our citizens
to the flre-lTghters, and tho thanks of
tho community, which has had such a.
severe visitation, while to my mind In
adequate, nre the only offerings we can
make to those who helped us In our
terrible hour of need."
Temporary relief quarters were es
tablished early In tho day at St. Paul's
church, where Dr. Hamilton presided
at n meeting of the Ladles' Aid society,
but It was stated that there were only
a few applicants. Tho wants of these
were quickly attended to.
Area of Destruction.
Patorson, N, J., Feb. 9, The area of
destruction foots up roughly twenty
five city blocks.
From Main street to Paterson street
between Van Houton and Market
streets, there It but little left. On tho
block bounded by Muln, Ellison, AVnsh
Ington and Market streets, not a single
building excepting that of tho Paterson
Saving institution stands. All along
the west side of Main street property
Is wiped out and on the east side also,
from Market to Van Houton streets
Along the south side of Broadway be
tween Washington and Church streets,
great damage has been done.
Van Houton street Is reduced to
smouldering debris so far as buildings
nre concerned for some distance.
Ellison street suffered from the neigh
borhood of Prospect street, on its north
side, as far as Church street. On the
south side of this street there is wide
spread ruin from a short distance west
of Main street to the parsonage of the
Second Presbyterian church near Pat
erson street.
Market street is a pile of ruins from
Main street to the Market street church
on the north side and the .south side.
Nowhere was the scene of devasta
tion more marked than north of tho
Erie railroad in the district bounded
by Sixteenth avenue and Market street.
There was simply nothing but ashes
left to tell that a busy and populous
section of tlie city had ever existed.
On Washington street between
Broadway and Market street there is
practically nothing left.
Church street is wiped out on tho
west side, between Ellison and Mar
ket streets as it was on its east side.
It war, In the newest and best built
portions that Paterson suffered,
though some of the property now ly
ing in blackened heaps had an interest
which came with age and usage. The
trolley car stables, where tlie flames
began, bad in their time been a skat
ing rink, and also the scene of politi
cal rallies and other popular gather
ings. The First Baptist church had a
history all its own, Its origin running
back for a century. Tlie old city hall,
used for a police station, was also a
landmark.
The cost of the fire has not yet been
counted with any degree of accuracy,
and it will be several days before there
can lie a definite tabulation of the
losses and insurance.
In the confusion of the day and the
rigorous guarding of the burned dis
tricts nt night, it was impossible to
locate a majority of the heavier suf
ferers. The estimate of $10,000,000 will
probably cover tho destruction broad
lv and a group of city ofllclals who
went over the city this evening were
Inclined to scale that figure down to
between $7,000,000,000 and $8,000,000 for
actual property losses.
Their estimate made no calculation
for loss on account of suspension of
business. A hastily prepared and in

Tho wind died out during the night nnd
'the (lunger of a fresh outbreak of fire
from flying spnrlw was for tho time
grcntly lessened. It sprang up again
nt midnight and an hour later was
blowing quite liurd.
Thu firemen remained on guard at
every point of danger and streams were
kept playing Into a number of build
ings. At midnight the military guards
were relieved by fresh men who wilt
remain on watch throughout tho rest
of the night. The sentries blocked
every avenue leading Into the two
burned districts and preserved perfect
order. Dozens of tho snells of buildings
that still stand are dangerous In that
a strong wind would topple them over
and steps will bo taken early this
morning to havo them torn down.
THE EPISODE
OF THE COWARD
LITTLE Jimmy Dobbs, nn arrant
coward, was trying for the team.
Kvcrytime Jimmy himself thought
of this he used to blush, partly from
pleasure ' nt the very notion of the
thing, and partly from shame. What
right had such a. miserable little cow
ard on the squad at all? Jimmy
weighed somewhere around tho one
thirties, and his build was certainly
not one that would be termed "colos
sal" Still that was no excuse, and ho
knew it. Time after time he missed
big Grey when he should have tackled,
while the coaches and everybody look
ed on and murmured accordingly. Sev
eral times only Jimmy himself knew
this, and he tried to forget the dis
graceseveral times, when he did' get
the man, and lay with his rough, tough
little body spread out under twenty
others on the Held, ho had shouted
"Pile off!" and once he had cried
"Help!" which isn't foot ball at all.'
Jimmy knew, for the coach had told
him so. Still, he used to come out
every afternoon and run through the
signals. He always gave the signals,
in n queer piping little voice. He was
tho scrub quarterback, was Dobbs, and
he was trying for the 'Varsity.
The big game was close at hand, and
things were In lively preparation on the
field. Little Jimmy Dobbs was plug
ging away with the scrubs and trying
to get the left-half pass correctly, when
the episode began. Leland, the "Var
sity quarter, was hurt, hurt quite badly
it seemed, and they had to lift him,
groaning, off the ball and unlace his
shoe.
"Swollen?" grunted Leland through
his teeth.
"Sprained," grimly affirmed the head
coach who knew everything; nnd
sprained it was, and only three days
left.
Then the head coach turned and
called: "Dobbs!" Jimmy heard and
Jumped, for he was very, much In awe
of the great man in the Princeton
jersey. Then he trotted over to the
crowd.
"Dobbs, you have the signals?"
"Y-yes, sir," stuttered Jimmy; it had
all happened so suddenly that lie was
quite dazed.
"Well, a little life," said the coach;
"let's see you run through 'em."
There was exactly four minutes re
maining of the second half. Up to this
Jimmy Dobbs had been passing the ball
mechanically and half unconsciously. It
was just at this time that he woke to
the realization of his posllon. His old
fear began to crawl back; he felt sore
and tired. He wanted to go off some
where and sleep and' forget It all. Still
one cannot do this with ten thousand
frenzied people shouting, and a cap
tain behind you praying for a touch
down that won't come. The other
team hold the ball on the nine-yard
line, first down. Five to nothing in
their favor was tlie score, and only four
minutes left to play. They tried the
line, but big Grey broke through, spilled
things and they lost a yartl.
"Seventy-five sixteen two," called
the oppos'ing quarter, and the play
commenced.
It was a line play again. Jimmy was
standing behind Grey, the guard, und
he fell back when the plunge began,
Crouch, crouch, crouch, sounded the
mole-skins. He dropped back still fur
ther, thanking the blessed stars ho
wasn't under that pile.
Then, when It was all over, and the
heap had stopped pushing and rolling
about, the ball blundered out ridicul
ously from tho middle of tho mass,
right nt little Jimmy Dobb's feet, Of
course It took no time ho had skirted
the end, who wasn't expecting him,
before' the bleachers awoke to the fact,
Then it was plod, plod, plod up the
great chalk-lined field with the tall,
white goal-posts so very far away be
fore him. How the crowd did roar,
nnd howl and pray for him to run;
"Faster, Stumpy, faster!" Though
"Stumpy" Dobbs could not hear or un
derstand them at all, all that he knew
was that it wns a chase and he the
hunted thing, with Krlcson, tho terrible
end, after him. He saw him out of the
corner of his eye. Ho knew how
Krlson could run, and tackle. His leg
was aching where this man had hurt
him before. Nearer, and u little nearer
came tho Hying foot steps.
Then his fluttering heart choked little
Jimmy Dobbs und he determined to 'do
a most disgraceful thing. His steps
faltered, then stopped, just as Krlcson
dove for him. Hut this stop was pre
cisely what the pursuing end had not
expected; und so he slipped' by Jimmy,
who stood still and trembled. The
field was clear, before him lay stretched
the enemy; so Dobbs ran on again nnd
touched the ball down between the
posts, Of course nrudy kicked goal
ho always did, Then the nlr was full
of hats and things, and the blenclutrs
grabbed "Stumpy" Dobbs, for tho gaino
was won.
This is a tale entirely without a
moral or excuse, but It seems to show
how the wicked sometimes triumph.
For though Jimmy Dobbs tried to ex
plain how It was, and that ho wasn't
a hero after all, but a coward and a
traitor us well, and had stopped when
he did that the fall might bo eusler and
tho tackle les3 fierce, everybody
laughed Tho captain said' It was mag
nificent; the college said something of
tho same sort, only stronger; and the
head coach, who knows nil things, said
It was very fair Indeed, and laughed
at Jimmy's confession of cowardice
So Jimmy and you and I are the
only ones who really know the true
episode of the Coward. W. V. Barron,
in tho Georgetown College Journal,
LESSONS FROM
LINCOLN'S LIFE
Concluded from Tairo 3.1 '
untried for tho Incentive of necessity Is Ucklnp.
Tho young Lincoln itrungtcii wtlli every tort
of poverty, necrsslfy ond advcrnlty. lly the death
of liU mother, he wan left to the care of a klilft'
le.M father, Ollcn without nutritious food, nl
vvaji on the verge of nakrdncst, with a boiiI that
thirsted for love, knowledge and truth, he haw
about lilm only told Indlflcrcncc, Ignorance and
poverty of the eovcre&l sort, )ct In tills very fire
of adversity, ever fanned Into Inlenscr beat by
new and unsatisfied deslies of mind and nout, God
was tempering the slrongcst and mvectest soul
tlili great' republic thus far lui known. It was
n hard discipline for a. young and sensitive mlure,
eager for love and knowledge, but an Ideal en
vironment for producing an Ideal man.
MIGHTY OBSTACt,r.9.
We cannot, nnd Indeed, wc must not lake the
tlmo to speak of tho mighty obstacles over which
tho boy Lincoln finally triumphed. Willi a mighty
thirst for knowledge, Ills ono nvallablo book con
sisted of the Ulble .ond two or three pamphlets
cm Indifferent subjects. Hut the few books that
came into his possession he made a port of him
self, In the Ulble, especially, he found n, verit
able library of history, poetry, prophecy, a never
falling spring of choice llngllsh, beautiful im
agery, and inspiring sentiment. He knew it
through and through, He was familiar with its
characters ,ond lis teachings. It is easy to pic
ture the great tall awkward boy, lying on the
lloor at night, after the day's work, close ti the
pine-knot Are, reading, sludjlng, doing his ex
amples on the smooth surface of a wooden
shove), and scraping it again clean for another
lesson onco Its surface had been covered. Wo see
him, loo, painfully and laboriously copying on
any kind of common paper that came to his hand
whole chapters of books that had been lent him,
for he never expected to own u copy of them and
might forget some portion of tlie wonderful
things he had read therein.
Among tho mountain peak tralU of character
that lisp heavenward tn tlm life nf Lincoln not
the least distinct U ills rugged determination t5"
do to tho very best of hU ability every task to
which ho put his hand. Thu, honest, patient,
faithful, chlvnlioiH, without paternal advice, he
drifted from one occupation to another, his soul
ever thirsting for something he had not, lie
finally turned to the study nf law, took to po-
Utical life, ami found his field of iwcfulness, and
later tlie tasK uou Had uecn lining mm tor.
As time goes by, and these great Uvea receded
farther and farther into tlie pxst, we find It easy
to idealize them. If we do not exactly worship
them ns the Chinese do, we moic and more free
them from caithly faults and failing". This is a
beautiful tendency of the human soul, but we
must not c.irry it too far. Abraham Lincoln was
not a (lod, nor .1 man n little lov.er than Clod,
but a native-born American, lie was a child of
tho frontier life of the republic, with many of
the faults and characteristics that maiked it In
the early days of the nineteenth century. He was
a boy among boys and a man among men. Ac
quainted with poverty, struggle, adverse condi
tions. Over all these, with God's help, ho
climbed to a noble usefulness and to the highest
office in tho gift of the people.
Abraham Lincoln not only in a largo way com
pletely fills our image of what on American
ought to be, but was also an ideal citizen of tho
municipality, commonwealth and nation.
A MAX AMONG MEX.
Ho was a man among men. Within himself, to
day wc know, he had elected a holy of holies,
but it W03 not too sacred to be ranied among
commonplace men and commonplace .tflalrs. lie
knew men in their best and their worst. He sym
pathized with them, he felt with llieni. Ho was
full of human kindliness, lie took his place In
tho community as a good citizen always will do,
recognizing his responsibility for the good ol tho
community. He gave his sanction and presence
to religion, while at the some time he nllica him
seld to no sect. His kindly nature revolted at the
harsh and repellant doctrines men taught con
cerning God, man, punishment, destiny. Rugged
in every bodily form and feature, his soul swam
in the illimitable sea of God's love. He lived:
and died a member of no church, but a worshiper
of God in the holy of holies he had erected within
his own soul.
Abraham Lincoln was a believer in political
parties, not as an end, but as a means to 1111 end.
He came into full manhood at a time when the
gicat isMies giovviug out of African slavciy be
gan to foice themselves upon our national thought
nnd life. He was .1 Dcinociat to tlie core. He be
lieved with all his soul that no man vras or ever
will be good enough to own or govern another
nun in spite of tint other's opposition. He
found liinitelf, thoieforo, llrt, in full sjiupathy
with the "Tree Koileis" and liter witli the Re
publicans'. In cveiy situation he sought to do
lies full duty as a citizen of the municipality,
statu and nation, He understood fully that good
government can come only from good nun. It
the bet Lltizeiiihip absents itself from the pri
mary nnd the polls, then, bad men will contiol
and niaUidiniulstiatlnu will be the lesult.
The highest administrative office in tiie gift of
any people is the presidency of the United States,
In this high ortlcc, Abraham Lincoln fiiltlllcd our
highest ideal of what a piesident ought to be
and do.
Xo ruler In tho woild occupies the unique posi
tion in which the president of the United States
finds himself. Today he i3 a private citizen but
one of eighty millions of people. He has no more
power to subvert the piinciples and course of our
national life than any one of lis.' Tomoriovv he is
called to a position that will enable him if he
be so minded, in four ohort jears, to turn our
ship of state fiom the bioad and fiee waters of
democracy into the bhallovv tortuous channels of
alwohitc Imperialism. When wc lemembcr the
possibllitlen lor evil lying within the gra-p of our
picsidcnts and the tendency of human nature to
uibitrarily rule others, we need Indeed to hate a
jealous thought and cue for our upubllc-au piin
ciples. The 'foundation principles and theory of
the government of the United Slates when they
were ;t up, fuinMied , absolutely new do
pjiture in government. Our fathers built not on
the divine rlsht of one man or a tew
men, but 011 tho divine right of all men.
Theie had been many republics. They were ie
publics in name only. Practically they were
absolute despotisms.
A XATim.Ui TKXniJXCY.
The president of these United States, because
he in common with till other men, has niore
or less of a tendency to desire to assume despotic
powers of the men whom ho is called upon to
rule, Is olw.ijs under a gicat temptation to swerve
this great people fiom the plane of Its true orbit
as drawn for It by those who set it in motion
the ab-oluto light of every people to dcUdo tho
character of their own political destiny.
In tho 11 public, there foil1, as with 110 other
ruler, thu president not only owes a duty to his
own people to preserve uncorrupted tlie pure
principles of deinociary but to mankind ,1111
posterity, to do nothing tint Mull bring tho prin
ciples of title democracy into eclipse, Abraham
Lincoln was, not only a deuiocibt by Instinct and
iiatme, but by intellectual conviction. He un
derstood the foundation principles on which our
political bupcislliicluic was lijiiil. He believed
tho political salvation of unnumbered millions in
ages to come is bound up with the ptestrvatloii
of this republic. When he saw It assailed, to its
preservation he set hluucli with a steadfast de
teimlnatloii that Knew no faltering.
To accomplish that great end ho would use
every Instiumcnt that seemed fitted to the task.
In short, Abraham Lincoln fulfilled tho first
great condition an ideal president ol this upiib
llu should conform to a complete uudeiblaudiiig
of our national Ideal of liberty and deinociary,
and 11 determination to picserve those Ideal unsul
lied for tho future blcvslut,' of niiiiiinibeied fcuer.

Tho ideal rllnes again nf Abulum Lincoln for
the great office he was called uiwn to llll, Is seen

Speaker Heed's Pnvable.
Some of tlie raconteurs of tho house met In
the restaurant on the house nlde of the capltol,
s.i.vs the Washington Times, nnd one of the
brcery, bustling, busy men of the west poked fun
at (,'ongressmin Joy, of St. Louis, about the
Inertia that has been permeating the lower
branch of congress for the lust Tew dajs. Mr.
Joy 6tood for the raillery for n while, and to
cairy a point that tlie house wasn't so an-cious
to rush through business, told this story, which
he heard from ex-Speaker Thomas 11, ltccd:
" 'Up in Maine,' said tho c-c-Oar, 'an old
lady was looking for one of her offspring. 'Man
dy,' she cried, 'whore is Cyrusf
" 'I think he's nout back doin' sumthln',' was
the rcnlv.
" 'Go aout and see what bo's doing,' bawled
tho old lady.
"Mandy returned from the eirant and reported:
'He ain't doin' nothin'.'
" 'Well, go nout and tell him to slop.' "
Tills, Mr. Joy said, was tlie condition of tlie
house at present. It Isn't the proper time to do
anything, but when the time comes the house will
be very buy.
