Other Notes.
Whatever the outcome of the coal
miners' strike mny he, whether the
minors or the operators win, the Itcnd-,
Ins company, tinder President Baer s
vigorous management, Is preparing 'to
enter upon a more aggressive policy
than ever before In the anthracite re-,
Blon and to utilize more fully the grrnt
advantages It enjoys there. New tracts
are to ho opened up and developed, ad
ditional breakers are to bo built, and
other measures taken for Increasing the
coal output of the company. Additional
facilities for the storage of anthracite
are embraced In the scheme, and nn
expenditure of $3,000,000 has been au
thorized by the directors to carry out
the project, the details of which have
not yet been fully worked out.
As stated several days ago, the ex
periences of the past eighteen months
have impressed President Baer and the
directors of the Reading company with
the Importance and desirability of
having Immense quantities of anthra
cite coal in stock at convenient points.
To accumulate such an amount as de
sired 1,000,000 tons and to keep up
with the market requirements at the
same time has been practically Impos
sible even with the company's present
facilities In the anthracite region, and
lhis has been one of the causes which
have brought nbout the determination
to expand and Increase mining oper
ations. Another cause that has had an
Important bearing on this matter is the
fact that despite an Increase In 1901 of
over 8,000,000 tons anthracite output the
Schuylkill regions, In which the Read
ing Is the dominant factor, was cred
ited with but a fraction over 29 per
cent, of that gain, and Lehigh Valley
region with about 3& per cent., while
the Wyoming region secured over 60
per cent, of the Increased tonnage.
UNDEVELOPED LAND.
The Reading has still many thou
sands of acres of undeveloped coal
lands, located principally In Schuylkill
county. The supply of coal underlying
these lands Is almost Inexhaustible, and
It Is some of these that President Baev
proposes to open up and develop. For
this purpose he secured from the board
of directors authority to expend sev
eral millions of dollars. While the strike
of the miners has somewhat interfeied
with the preparation of the plans
proposed, as soon as the conditions
throughout the anthracite regions have
become normal again active steps will
be taken to start the Improvements.
Among the lands likely to be opened
up and developed in the near future is
the one known as the Tamaqua and St.
Clair, and known to contain a large
and valuable deposit of good anthra
cite. While this has not been deter
mined upon definitely, it has been very
seriously considered by Mr. Baer and
the engineers and officials of the Coal
and lion company. Should It be de
termined to develop this tiact a large
modern breaker will bo erected, as it is
the policy of the Reading in opening
new mines to have the breakers pro
vide for a large area. Improvement of
other tracts is also being considered,
as well as the enlargement of some of
the present brenkers.
Equally Important In the eyes of the
Reading management is the matter of
storage facilities for great quantities
of anthracite. The company is already
fairly well equipped in this direction
with Its largo s-torago yards at Port
Richmond, Port Reading and else
where, but the keeping on hand of a
million tons of anthracite to meet any
emergencies requires additional room.
Among the locations said to be under
consideration are Bridgeport and a
point between Pottstown and Birds
horo, probably Monocacy. The former
place, it is understood, Is favored by
the transportation officers of the rail
way because of convenience in making
up train crows at that point both for
the main lines and the New York di
vision. An Expert Review.
There Is no indication of tho strike
ending as yet. The miners are encour
aged to hold out by the labor leaders,
who are dwelling on the large sums for
rellefi that will be raised by the bltu-
A Quart Baby.
Now and again there is an item in the
newspapers concerning the birth of a
I mny baby so small that a quart cup
folds it comfortably. If the article told
all the facts it would probably telUalso
of a mother who in weakness and misery
had looked forward to the baby's advent
with shrinking and fear.
To have fine, healthy children the
mother must be healthy, and it is the
common testimony
of mothers that the
use of Dr. Pierce'B
Favorite Prescrip
tion not only pro
motes the mother's
health but also gives
her strength to give
ner child,
"Favorite Pre
scription " accom
plishes these results
by tranquilizing the
nerves, promoting a
healthy appetite,
and trivinc refresh
ing eleep. It increases physical vigor
ant; gives great muscular elasticity, so
that the baby's advent is practically
painless. It is the best of tonics for
nursing mothers,
"I gladly recommend Dr. Fierce'! Favorite
Prescription," writes Mrs. J, W, G. Stephens, ol
Mlla. Northumberland County, Vo. "Before
my third little boy was born I took six bottles.
,Jie Is the finest child and has been from birth,
uud'I suffered cry much lets than I ever did
before. I unhesitatingly advise ezuectaut
mothers to use the 'Favorite Prescription."'
The dealer who offers a substitute for
"Favorite Prescription" does so to gain
the, little more profit paid ou the sale
of less meritorious medicines.
Dr, Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser, containing 1008 pages, is sent
free on receipt of stamps to pay expense
of mailing only. Send 31 one-cent

mlnouB miners and by other labor
organizations. These glittering prom
ises mny hold the men In line for a
couple of weeks longer, but thelr'Utter
hollowness Is shown by the statement
of one of the district presidents to the
effect that needy miners will receive
supplies, not ensh. The distribution of
relief under such a plan should bo very
lucrative for somebody, and may lead
to discussions that will hasten the col
lapse of the strike. The operators still
hold to their policy of walling for the
men to tire of idleness, and evidently
do not Intend to force matters nnd pre
cipitate rioting and bloodshed, This
policy, though, condemned by unin
formed writers In the dally press, Is
under the present political conditions
In Pennsylvania perhaps the , wisest
that has been suggested, Every addi
tional week of Idlenpss shows the
miners how little confidence Is to he
placed In the men who precipitated the
strike. More wnsherlea are busy' and
the total tonnage of steam sizes pro
duced must be considerable. A few
small collieries urc likely to resume
work next week.
Trade at all points continues very
light, but the weather Is warm and the
public apparently Is not worrying
much nbout next wlner's coal supply,
in spite of scnsntlonnl nowspnpers nt
New York and elsewhere telling people
that the operutors are prolonging the
strike with the solo object of advancing
prices and that the operators have
made millions of dollars already from
the high retail prices that prevail.
At the head of the lakes dealers are
clearing up their docks, nnd supplies
arc limited to certain grades and sizes.
In Chicago territory business continues
very dull. Supplies on the docks are
getting low and little or no coal Is
allowed to go to outside points. Local
demand Is light and dealers ure not
looking for buyers. Prices nre un
changed from the regular schedule.
Along the lower lakes little coal is
changing hands. Agents of the pro
ducing companies continue to sell at
the regular list prices. Along the At
lantic seaboard supplies continue 'to
diminish. At points beyond Cape Cod
there nre still good-sized blocks of coal
in the hands of conservative firms, but
retail buying on account of high prices
Is light. At New York retailers are
making the most of the situation, and
retail prices have been advanced to $8
per ton for prepared sizes. Large lots
continue to change hands at $7$S,
though as high as $10 is reported paid
In particular cases. At Philadelphia the
market continues quiet. What supplies
are left are held by dealers, who do not
care to sell to other than regular cus
tomers and in small lots. The Read
ing railroad has released the anthra
cite which had been consigned when
the strike occurred. The Lehigh Valley
took such action some weeks ago. En

DR. WILSON'S LIFE SAVED.
Death Sentence of Ohioan In Nicar
agua Will Be Commuted.
By Kxclmhc Wire from The Associated l'icss.
Washington, July 28. The life of Dr.
Russell Wilson, of Ohio, who was cap
tured with a revolutionist party in Nic
aragua, has been saved through the
representations of Minister Corea of
that country. A cable message was re
ceived at the state department today
from Chester Donaldson, United States
consul at Managua, Nicaragua, dated
the 26th Inst., as follows:
"As a courtesy to the United States
and sympathy for the mother the presi
dent will commute Russell Wilson's
death sentence."
Wilson was one of several Americans
who joined a filibustering expedition
which landed at Monkey Point, near
Bluellelds, early in July. Most of the
party were captured or killed. Having
secured a stay of proceedings and a
guarantee of a legal trial, the Nlcar
aguan minister has induced President
Zelaya to commute the death sentence,
Imposed upon Wilson by court-martial.
Before the receipt of this messuge It
was not known here that the court
martial had been held. Imprisonment
for a time, and then exp'ulslon from
Nicaragua, it Is thought, will follow.

THE MARKETS
Wall Street Review.
Now York, July 28. Tho speculation
flattened out to u marked degree In to
day's stock market, nnd tho lutter part
of tho day offered a degro of activity
fccarcely above tho usual midsummer dull
ness. Before noon thero was an enor
mous amount of icaliziug accomplished,
which was credited to tho western operu
tois who havo long been conspicuous in
tlie market. Unless it 13 considered that
the rcsouices of tho money market
threaten to become restricted thero was
no obvious cause for tho weakness. The
slump in Rock Island to below 190 awak
ened some questioning about the benefit
to accrue from some of the projects pro
posed which provide nearly always for
practically converting stocks into fore
closure liabilities, with new stock to como
after witli voting power but with ques
tionable chances for dividends, thus mak
ing their holding for control cheap. Tho
reports of the illness of the president of
the United States Steel corporation, al
though denied, had a slightly depressing
effect, and were supplemented by rumors
that tho king of Kngland was also not so
well. London bought stocks here, how
ever, and rcpoited relief from tho set
tlement was proceeding without failures.
Somo points of strength still remained In
tho market, notably Norfolk and West
ern, the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault
Sto Mario stocks, Amalgamated Copper
and Colorado Fuel. The market made
considerable recovery during tho latter
part of tho day but there was nothing
like an entire revival of last week's ani
mation. The closing was irregular. Total
sales for the day, 813,700 shares. Deal
ings in bonds wcro of unimportant pro
portions and tho tono was Irregular. To
tal sales, par value, $3,1195,000. United
States bonds were unchanged on the last
cull.
