A great deal of interest centers in the anthracite coal business at the prcs ent time, due to deals alleged and otherwise. This interest is doing noth ing for the miner, thopgh it may event ually develop something of advantage. The fact that the Morgans have secured a position in tin* management of the Le high Valley affairs has already shown its effect in an order to reduce forces along the line. It should be patent to the Morgans by this time that advanc ing coal rates and placing the commodity beyond the reach of ordinary purchasers and forcing competition is not the wisest course. J tiding from events the past week they take this view of the matter and are already looking about for another opportunity to adjust the difii culty. The reduction in the railroad forces is significant. It is understood that a* drop in the price of coal will take place in a short time. This will have a stimulating effect at the start, though it will be larger than the magnates were willing to concede to be practicable a year ago before any material benefit will result to the coal regions. The same agency can cut the price, of coal direct and make money if thev will continue the shading and lop off a portion of the ex orbitant freight rates for carrying coal to market. Here Is where the rub has existed, but since it has been the corner stone of high salaries for railroad super intendents and principalities for the magnates, they have been mighty slow about touching that feature. It must come to this nevertheless before a pros perous business is created. The Lehigh Valley has shown some activity in the mining department in u prospective way, but as yet they have done nothing definite to give assurance of real benefit. It is taken by well in formed persons, however, as a good sign. The greatest drawback that the coal trade has li<*- with the transportation department. Small operators, while sat isfied to accept a small margin, cannot do business profitably while rates for carry ing coal are so outrageously high. The carrier has reaped the harvest. But even this source of revenue has been cut off or reduced by the force of competition and smaller sales. Small tonnage and big profits seems to have been the motto of the carriers. They now find that the high rates iiavo re sulted in such a greatly reduced ton nage that it is believed the motto is likely t• undergo a change, making it small profit on big tonnage. Should this policy b< adopted the trade will im mediately receive a stimulus that will place it in the lin of prosperity. It wa- the .Morgans who conceived the idea of returning to the McLeod system some eighteen months ago by pooling interests ami advancing coal prices, not exactly to maintain the miner, but to keep up the palatial style of the railroad magnates. In the reduction of rates lies the only Impe of a rev ival of activity in the trade, and since the Morgans have soeuricd about everything they seemed to want, it is natui'al to suppose that they will now begin to shape things for active work. The fact that oil and gas , are in the market and can he utilized as fuels lias hemi forcibly impressed upon the managers, and it is to be hoped that they will profit thereby and get right down to the difficulty.

RHEUMATISM Cured, says Mrs. M. Hill, of GALETON, PENNA. j Probably there is no disease that in j llicts so much continuous pain as rlien | luatism. When it becomes chronic' there are few so hard to cure. This i disease is caused by an impure state of blood. The impurity consists of an excess of Icthic acid, and to drive this acid from the blood is the object of all rational treatment. The medical faculty have found in Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, a certain and positive cure for this ter rible complaint. Mrs. M. Hill, of i Galeton, Pa., savs: "One year ago I I was with muscular rhematism. My limbs were so painfull 1 could scarcely walk- 1 determined to trv DR. OAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY and before I bad used tho third bottle the pain was all gone." Favorite Remedy cures chronic, acute or inflammatory rheumatism: and in diseases brought about by impure blood, j or an excess of acid inithe blood such as j urinary troubles, dyspepsia, constipa tion, kidney or liver complaints, it is a j well known spocitic.

The Labadies Company closed a profit able three nights' engagement last even ing. A crowded house saw a very fail production of "Faust" on Monday even ing. prices considered. The star of th< troupe, Hubert Labadie, is somewhat out of his element in the charac ter of Mephisto , or else his ideas on how the devil disports himself are diffe;- ent from others who assume the role. Mrs. Labadie made a fair Marguerite. and the other members played th dr parts well. The electrical effects are far sup erior to those shown by the majority ol companies in this play. Frank E. McNish, the negro comedian, amused the the crowds nightly with his antics. "Cuban Justice" was given on Tues day night. The audience did not take kindly to the piece, and its presentation could not be considered successful. The company gave "East Lynno" at a matinee yesterday afternon. The audi ence was very small. The same play was given last night, and the acting was satisfactory to the large audience pres ent. Mrs. Labadie played Lady Isabel as well as any actress ever did here and won considerable applause in her emo tional parts. Tony Murphy and all the other favor ites of Fitz& Webster's company will be here on Tuesday evening. After last night's performance a spar ring exhibition was given by Frank Mc- Nish, of the Labadie Company, and James Reed, of town, in which was shown how the blow that knocked out Corbett was delivered by Fitzsimmons. McNish represented Corbett and Reed took the part of Fitz. Three one-minute rounds wore fought and the two men mixed up very well. BRIEF ITEMS. John lienor, of Summit Ilill, and Dick Moore, of Long Island, fought a fifteen round bout near Philadelphia on Tues day night. It was one of the most scientific exhibitions ever seen around that city. The referee declared the contest a draw. At the same place that evening Charlie Johnson, who fought "Scaldy Bill" here, was given the deci sion in an exhibition with Hagcrstrom, the Providence "Swede." The Lehigh Valley league consists of amateur teams in Allentown, Easton, South Bethlehem and Catasauqua. Each club has posted SSO as a guaran tee that the season, April 24 to October 2, will be played. The sporting people of town are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the kinetoscope, the unique machine which shall reproduce the big fight exactly as it occurred. DRIFTON ITEMS. Ground will soon be broken above No. 2 breaker for a large carpenter shop, where the D. S. &, S. Company will re pair its cars. It will be located where the proposed round-house was to have been built. Thomas Hyland is unable to work on account of an accident received in the mines. Two lumps of coal caught his right hand the other day and injured the member severely. Mrs. E. J. Sweeney attended the fu neral of a friend at Wlikesbarre last week. Mrs. Patrick Quinn has returned from a visit to Penn Haven friends. Three eight-hour shifts is all the col ieries will work this week. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Tho fac- y?
