INDUSTRIAL
AND LABOR
CONDITION OP THE ANTHRA
CITE COAL TRADE.
The Total Demand Is Sufficient to
Take All of the Coal Produced.
Lackawanna Pension Board Has
Decided to Increase tho Age for
Compulsory Retirement from 65 to
70 Years The 'Board for Today.
Increase of Wages for Finch Men.
Notes from Many Sources:
The condition of the anthracite
.rial trade shows thut uprlnjr has ar
rived. Tho new price lists havo not
been out lontf enough to show what
effect they will have on buying, though
a large amount of coal Is going for
ward, particularly to buyers along the
Atlantic seaboard. It Is believed that
there Will bo no general strike at the
mines. Tho published utterances of
John Mitchell, president of the United
Btlne Workers, show a conservative
and conciliatory attitude, and If a
Htrlkc should come, It will be due to
the influence of one or two of tho dis
trict presidents In the Wyoming and
J-ackawanna regions. The discount of
CO cents per ton for April buying, It
poems, was duo to the general convic
tion of tho operators that It was bet
ter to Issue spring price lists and
lake tho chances of a strike than to
Keek to maintain prices at winter level
for another month.
Much has been written recently
about the action of tho Reading In
cutting oft discounts to jobbers along
lis lines. This action did not excite
.surprise among those In the trade who
understand the situation, since one of
the avowed objects of tho community
of interests is to do away with the
middlemen as far as convenient and
bring consumer and producer in closer
touch. It Is not unlikely that other
anthracite roads will follow the Read
ing's lead, though there will probably
bo no abrupt general changes, and
the central selling agency plan for
for largo centers like New York is still
in embryo.
At the head of the lakes, the market
rhows little activity, but the pros
jicots favor more active ordering with
the opening of navigation than was
the case last year. In Chicago terri
tory, likewise, the opening of navi
gation will see rather more ordering
than a year ago. The total demand
from all consuming territories is suf
ficient to take all the coal produced,
and asele from the inducement of the
April discount, there is probably some
buying from a fear that after all there
may bo a strike at the mines by May
I. Production is still below what it
might have been, but for the winter's
hoods. A number of mines will not be
able to get out a normal tonnage for
some time yet, particularly in the
Lehigh region, Engineering and Min
ing Journal.
Age Limit Is Extended.
The pension board appointed to ad
minister the affairs of the pension sys
tem recently inaugurated by the
Lackawanna railroad, announced yes
terday that the age for compulsory re
tirement under the new system has
been extended from 63 to 70 years'.
Employes who are retired at 70 will
be allowed a pension on the same
basis and percentages as already pro
vided for the 05 year limit. The uge
limit for optional retirement under the
sanction of the pension board has also
been extended from CO to 69 years, in
clusive, instead of 60 to 04 years. That
is, all employes at 70 will be regarded
as having attained the maximum age
for active service and will be entitled
to honorable retirement and a pen
sion, provided they have been with
the company for twenty-five or more
years, while those whose ages range
from 60 to 69 years, inclusive, and who
have served the company twenty-five
years or more, may be retired and
pensioned, if in the judgment of the
pension board they are incapacitated
for further service.
"The, changes were made both in
the interest of tho men and of the
service," said a member of tho pen
sion board yesterday. "We believe
that in extending the compulsory age
limit and at the same time Increas
ing tho period of optional retirement,
wo have perfected an arrangement
that will best serve the varied re
qulrcments of all interests concerned."
The rules and regulations of the
pension board have been issued in
printed form and distributed among
all pmployes.
Tho date upon which the pension
i system is to become effective has been
fixed as June 1st, 190:'.
Car Foremen Meet.
The Scranton Car Foremen's associa
tion held its regular monthly meeting
in Railroad Young Men's Christian as
sociation hall Saturday evening. In
the absence of President Canfleld, Vice
President R. n. Rashridge, of the Phil
adelphia nnd Reading rullroail', presid
ed. An Interesting discussion was held on
tho subject of "The Piece Work Scale,"
and it was agreed that all who work
on passenger and freight car repairs
on the piece scale are much bcnelltted
thereby, ,
Another discussion was held on the
master car builders' rules, which was
argued at length. Sixty-four now mem
bers were ndmltted. The association Is
growing In interest and numbers with
each succeeding meeting.
Half-Holiday and Increase,
The employes of tho Finch Manufac
turing company have been granted a
flvo per cent. Increase and Saturday
half-holiday the year around.
This practically gives the men tho
half-holiday without loss of earnings.

The Ualdwln Locomotive works, of
Philadelphia, Pa,, In about to ship
twelve locomotives to Freemantle for
the 'West Australian Government rail
ways. The moulders of the Hazlotan Iron
works have been on strike since lost
December. Nothing has yet been done
for bringing about a settlement of tho
strike.
Good progress is now being made on
tho tunnel of the Wllkes-Barro &
Hazloton Railway company, through
the Conynghnm mountain. The solid
rock encountered at first has been
succeeded by yellow shale, which is
much easier to excavate and as a
consceiuenco the work is going abend
much faster.
Andrew Moloney, of Philadelphia,
who conducted the negotiations for
the tale of tho Hazleton Gas plant to
Wllkcs-Barre capitalists, is this week
making an effort to buy out tho ila
hanoy City Gas company and tho
Mahonoy City Heat, Light and Power
company. He Is supposed to repre
sent the Philadelphia Gas company.
Mr. Maloney refuses to say In whoso
Interest he Is making the offer. Hazle

NEW USE FOB, THE PHONE.
You Can Talk with Whom You
Please While Traveling.
From the New York Sun.
There was conversation by telephone
Saturday afternoon between a railroad'
train in Chicago and a Broadway of
fice. The train was the Overland Lim
ited of tho Chicago & Northwestern
line, standing In the Chicago station of
the railroad, and from the observa
tion car of tho train W. B. Kniskern,
the general passengov agent of the
road, talked with Henry A. Gross, the
road's general eastern agent, at his of
fice at 461 Broadway and to several re
porters for the New York newspapers.
The Overland Limited Is declared to
be the fastest long distance train in
the world, and runs daily from Chicago
and San Francisco, making the dis
tance In 2 days 21 hours and 25 min
utes. The company has just had' built
an entire new equipment for the train,
costing $2,000,000 and bringing it up to
the highest standard of luxurious
American railroad trains, and has gone
one better than any other of the many
fine trains which traverse this country
in supplying the observation car with a
telephone.
The telephone installment in the car
Is attended by a regular operator and is
connected with the Central office of
whatever district or city the train is
in by means of a cable attached to a
tripod in the roof of the car. The
train's schedule being known, the tele
phone companies will detail an opera
tor to attend its calls on time at all
stations, and so soon as the train stops
at a station the cable with which that
station Is equipped will be connected at
the tripod on the car roof by a station
attendant, and the operator In the car
will be instantly in communication
with the local "Central" without hav
ing to "call her up."
At the terminals, Chicago and San
Francisco, the train will be In readi
ness for passengers forty-five minutes
before laving time, and the idea Is to
give persons who have forgotten
things which they wished to do, or have
left them undone fearing thoy might
not reach the train In time If any more
pauses were made, ample opportunity
to settle themselves' for their journey
and then transact from the observa
tion car any further business which
the telephone will enable them to do.
En froute, messages may be sent from
one station to friends to call up tho
train at the next station, etc. On these
long trans-continental journeys tho
Ftops at some Important points nro
much longer than the usunl stops in
this neighborhood, ten minutes at Ced
ar Rapids, twenty minutes at Omaha,
thirty-five minutes at Ogden, etc.
It is the intention to extend the ser
vice ns soon as may be, and have tel
ephonic connections throughout tho
train, so that a passenger In a compart
ment may communicate with the llb
rnryor smoking car.
AMERICAN WOMEN DENTISTS.
The Eirst to Adopt the Profession
Was a Jewess,
From Hut New Orleans Tinieh-Ueiuorijt,
"Women have a, special aptitude for
dentistry, and it Is a piofesslou that Is
admirably suited to them, In many re
spects," said n dentist yesterday. "Oth
er countries havo recognized this fact
much more generally than ours, and
Germany, Sweden and even Russia
havo many women dentists.
"The tit st woman hi this country to
ndopt the profession was a Jewess, who
Htudled in the University of Maryland.
The diploma was withheld, 'however,
because she was a woman, The first
woman to receive a diploma in dentis
try was a Miss Malrsel, who was a
graduate of the Ohio Dental college In
18C0. The second was Mine. Illrsch
held, who was graduated from the
Pennsylvania Dental college In 1869,
and afterward went to nerlln, where
she was made court dentist, and had
the caro of the teeth of the royal chil
dren. 'There ore now nearly five; hundred
women dentists in tho, United' States,
and they receive exactly as much pay
for their work as men do, Tho qualifi
cations for success In dentistry are a
good education, cultivated brain, tact,
patience and gentleness, and a thor
ough control of the nerves. The last
quality is as likely to bo possessed by
women as men,' as it Is wholly a mat
ter of temperament."

A SERMON ON
THEJESUITS
(Concluded from l'aio 6.
of the people, tic rUlncd hli eltln until tie
looked like n nitlvc. lie droved, and talked, and
Ihcd like a nalhe. There wna another obitucle
In Id way, tunnel, the fact that tho mjfladj
of India ncre deout worshipper of tlrahma.
Hence they revered and men worshipped the
llrahniln whom they liellctcd to he the ltn;al
descendants of their god. In order to ocrcome
this obstacle. Nobllllnu rrsohed that lio would
be. henceforth, a Itrahmln.
It wa a rather risky acheme, and tn order that
lie might be able, to answer eonie an k ward ques
tion that might be ukrd Mm about his Uncage,
be dicw tip a genealogical tabic, beginning with
tlrahmln nnd ending with hlimelf. It was a bold
forgery, but forger need to be bold. Noblll in
Home, wui In the true Apotollo micccwIoii, but
In Calcutta he wai a lineal de'cndint of
llrabma, the lllndco god. So rl.i-.tle was the
moral philosophy of the Jnmll of tint age,
that they could stretch It tn any client the
exigencies of thilr rate required.
Till: VATICAN INTEtttTRi:!).
Tho ca.c of N'oblll wa glaringly wicked,
that the Vatican interfered and denounced his
forgeries and repudiated both him and hl.i con
vert, ft Xobltl feared the Lord, he alio took
good caro to wrvp his on gods. Hut this wna
only the beginning of trouble for the Jem!'..
They were so aggiesstte In dealing with the af
fair of rtate, nnd their claims In recognition
weie no bold, and their political influence win to
great, that measure were adopted by various
governments for their suppression. They forgot
the story of Hainan and Mnrdccal, Their plota
to ruin other. were discovered, anil they chose
etlle rather than ilealb. They were b.inWicd
frcm France- (five limes), from Kngland (thrle;),
from Gcimany, fiom Spain, from Portugal, from
Belgium, from Venice, front Austria, from Uus
cla, and it is only forty jcar fines they were
ainln expelled fiom Italy. Indeed one pop.-,
Clement XIV, abolished the Order In 177.1; whlls
another. Plus VI, in LS14, tcstored It. The his
toric fact Is that the Jesuits refused to be tup
pressed. They practiced a good deal of what they'
pleached. Tueir philosophy was an cITrctlvp an
odyne for an accusing conscience, (food r.nd
evil were deflly Intermixed In this character;
and this Mthllc Intermixture wn the secret of
their povvci. "That gigantic power could never
have! belonged to mere hjpocrltes; nor could It
ever have belonged to rigid moralists. It was
to be attained only by men ttnccrrly cnrhu'lastlc
In tho pursuit of :i great end, and at the fame
time unscrupulous as to the choice of me.iin."
Whatever be the doctrines of the Jesuit of to
day, there can be no doubt that in the fcix
tccnlh century, and much later, they adopted
and defended the proKwltlon tint "the end
justiDrs the iur.ni." They adopted and dcfcndcl
the doctrine of "menial reservation"," which
means that a man may swear one way and think
another, and tint therefore he is not bound by
his oath, but by bis "Intention." The-e and
kindred doctrines exposed them tn the severe
censure of their former friends, and to the merci
less attacks of their toes.
CALVIN AND LOYOLA.
Ignatius Iioyola and John Calvin were both
taught by the fame professors, and they were
both masters in tho art of reasoning, but their
great mental powers were directed towards widely
different ends. The pupils of Loyola were schol
arly and skillful in debate, but in the Jensen
ists, the Jesuits met focinen worthy of their steel.
The Jesuits had power, and the Jansenlsts bad
genius, and l!!aic Pascal was their champion.
He vvjs a man of sterling integrity, and of great
intellectual ability, and withal, a devout mem
ber of tho church of Home. His exposure of thcJ
Jesuits in r.spect of their doctrine ami tueir
conduct, was at once witty, convincing nnd
merciless, Ittllam declares that Pascal "did
more to ruin the name of Jesuit than all the
controversies of Pinlestantisin, or all the nil
initiations of the parliament ot Paris." And of
tho same Pascal, Macaulcy sajs: "His spirit
was the spirit of St. Iternard; but the delicacy of
his wit, the purity, the energy, the MmplL-ity
of lit rhetoric, had never been cquslledn, except
by the gtcat masters of Attic eloquence. All
Europe read and admirtd, laughed and wept."
We must, however, except from "all Kurope,"
the multitude of Jesuits wlioe philosophy l.u con
futed and whoe conduct be denounced.
It is not mutual to hear the church of Home
represented as a most delightful and living illus
tialion of C'hiisllan love and biothcrhood all its
members holding the same doctrines and all ani
mated by the same hope and all bowing toili
mbsivcly to the same authority. Now that is
all very well in theory, and perhaps at no period
since the Itcformation, has it been more nearly
true in fact than it is today. But it was not to
alwajs. The divisions and quarrels in Protest
ant Christendom have been many, and often bit
ter, but they were only trifles compared vvlth
the division and warfate between the Thoiulsts
and the Scotists, the Franciscan and Molinbts,
the Jesuits and the Jansenlsts of the church of
Home.
NOT ALL AT TEACH.
That great religious body is no stranger to re
ligious wars within Its own household. Tho his
torians Kate only I he truth when they say that
her theologians have often bltteily opposed each
other; Synod has availed S.tnod, and pope l.as
oppose iwpc-. Her Kins, atatenmen, pontiffs
mid parliament", h.tvo fought with fury in her
theological campaigns. Children have risen up
against their p.iic-ut, and parents mtalnst tholr
children. The fhoek of her conllictin; fic
tions have convulsed Christendom. The system
which one paity called truth unci Catholicism,
was called error and heroy by another party.
By teasoii of these dissensions, the channel id
philanthropy and of rhrlsthn charity were closed,
and the floodgates of malevolence were thrown
wide open. Dealing in mind her debates and
dissensions mid divisions, the church of Home
cannot utford to thiovv any stones at the churchct
of the Heformatlon, on Hie ground that they
have -ulvva.vs been divided, while fIio lias nlw.i.vs
kept the unity of the .Spirit in the bond of
peace.
Thcie is much about the teaching and practice
of the early Jesuit which no Bible Chrlstim
can approve, ana which, it is to bis hoped thos
who bear their name lodiy utteily icpudiate,
Hut, on the other hand, there are some things
about those old Jo-ulU that all Christians would
do well to emulate.
First Their aim was to conquer tho wide vvoild
nnd thus bring into subjection to their sovereign
pontiff. Let ours be the noblrr purpose, name,
ly, to brill? tills wide world into subjection to
Jesus' Christ,
Second They kept in view a definite object,
and they bent all their energies tovninl Its at
tainment. They did not fight as one who
beatetlt the air. Each soldier in that army rn
listed for tho war and he enlisted for life. Ills
motto might well be tho words of Kt, Paul;
"this one thing I do," There was no shrinking,
'!
'r
no hesitation, no apology for Idleness in
negligence, They planned their work, and they
worked their plan. In this rrcpert, all Clnis
tiaus might Imitate them with profit both ta
themsclvcs'and to the church at large.
'fllKV WIIUK AS ON11.
Third They wcie united. While they ills
agiccd wllli and dlifcrcd widely from other sects
within their own thuich, they weie at the
same time united among tlicinsvlves, They ren.
dired Implicit obedience to orders. No woik was
too ecvc'ie, nor vaa any taste too loathsome for
them to undertake,
"Theirs not to reason why)
Theirs- but to do or die."
In union there is strength. They knew that
doctrine and they acted In harmony with It.
We should all do likewise, ns far as Scripture,
and reason, and conscience will permit us so
to do.
Fourth Their example wus contagious. They
innoculated olheis Willi their own rpltit, Wo
arc prone to uudoistand the power of example.
They never uld to their pupils, "do"; they
nlwaja said, "Come." Come with us. When
something was needed to be demo, thev said;
Come, let us do it. We arc abundantly able
to do It, though It seems dllHeult, A good deal
more o( this spiilt among Protestants who crltl
clzo thooe old Jesuits would be u good thing.
They were as serpent, but not ulu.ijs as harm
less as doves. Let us sec to it that wo prac
tice both pirls of that divine precept. They
were all aflame with religious zeal, they prac
ticed the grace of self-denial to an amazing de
gree, they were Instant jit season and out of
season on behalf of the rauso to which they wrrc
devoted.
In the Interest ot a purer faith, and a nobler
service, and a truer philosophy than thclis, let tu
imitate their zeal, their (elf-denlal, their devoi
tlou, and their perscveiance. If all Clulslians
would do this, it would not bo long, luunanlv
speaking, until the kingdom ot this world would
bo the kingdom of our Lord and ol Ills Christ,

KINO EDWARD'S DESCENT.
From the Denver Times.
King Edward VII can claim descent thiouglt
fifteen of the Hurt -five monarch who have pie
reded him on llio English tluone, from AlfreJ
the Great and Egbert, the first king of England,
unci further back ctlll front the emperors of Home,
and even from the Hebrew bouse of David. Nev
eitliclcM it Is a fact that King Edward owes Ids
tiovvn lo 11 horse's shoe. The act of settlement,
by which in 1701, paillamcn't elected the hou.e
of Hanover to the BiitUli throne, vvu passed by
unly one vole. And this winning vote was cast
by fc-lr Artlfur Owen, M. P., for Pimbiokcvnlie,
' who rode posthaste from Wulc-t for the puipunf.
Ho had rclajs or fresh liorses alt along tho I mite,
but arrived, dusty and travel worn, ut Westmin
ster only just In tlmo t enter the uje lobby. If
ono of his horses had guuo lame or cast u shoe
Jit! would have In en too late, (iicat Britain would
have had iu Georgian cm and hence no Victoria
or Edward VII.

tion is llxed when tho clay Is baked. Knowing
tho "din" and "declination" of the necdlo ut
various times In past centuries, thu age ot vases
may ho computed.
