Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite coal trade continues jexcessively dull, and it is without any |especially noteworthy feature. Duringthe past two or three weeks a bettereffort has been made by the several com- jpanies to restrict the output, so that the |total production for this year thus farlias been reduced to more tnan a quartermillion of tons less than that mined inthe corresponding period of 1889. Thecondition of the anthracite business inthe Eastern and Western States is like-wise in a stagnant state, the supply ofcoai there being superabundant and thedemand small. The tonnage of anthra-cite received at Boston harbor for theseven months ending July 31, 1890, was906,685 tons, an increase of 113,263 tonscompared with the quantity receivedthere in the corresponding period of lastyear.

The Pottsville itinera' Journal lias thefollowing about the anthracite trade:"There has been no increased activity intlie trade since last report. It was hopedthat the first week in August would show Jsome sign of improvement, but the re-ports from the coal centres show that the [sluggishness of the June and July trade jhas not been disturbed. Of course this )inactivity cannot continue long, and it is Jpossible that before September 1 there!will be a gratifying change for the bet-ter. The output continues heavy, butthe sales are limited and the prices evenbelow the list prices. The tonnage in )stock cannot remain longer than Sep-tember Ist, when the heated term beginsto abate and the mills resume more regu-lar work. The domestic trade will alsotake a spurt by that time and the de-mand will show a decided improve-ment."

The total amount of anthracite coalsent to market for the week endingAugust 2d, as reported by the several jcarrying compameß, was 719,715 tons, Icompared with 860,294 tons inthe corres-ponding week last year, a decrease of140,579 tons. The total amount of an-1thraeite mined tlms far in the year 1890 jwas 18,882,563 tons compared with 19,176,-428 tons for the snme period last year, a Idecrease of 293,865 tons ,?Ledqer. 1

BrlittolTradesmen.

Atthe meeting of the Bristol Board ofTrade on Thursday night, H. G. Peters,the Chairman of the Committee on Re-tail Business, took the residents of theplace to task for going to Philadelphia tomake their purchases instead of patron-izing the local dealers. "There are peo-

I pie of this town," he said, "and I regretto say it, who, if they want a pound of

| coffee, a yard of tape, a collar-button or! a toothpick, will send or go to Philadel-

§hia for it. It is unjust to the reputableusiness people of this community."

Further discussion of the subject wasthen postponed until the next meeting ofthe Board.? Phila. Record.

The same state of things exists inFreeland to-day. Many of our peoplogo or send to Ilazleton for their suppliesin preference to the home merchant whopays rent, mercantile and other taxes,and is helping to improve our town. Weare sorry to say that in most cases ofthis kind it is the people who own theirown hoineß are the ones to aid the for-eign business men. If they had lefttheir earnings with the company stores,where they are employed, no one couldblame them, but to order their suppliesfrom outside parties who do not leave adollar a year in our town is too much.Patronize home trade. When trouble,sickness, or any other misfortune befallyou these people of Ilazleton and othertowns will give you the cold shoulder,and then what are you to do? Whereas,if you dealt with a home merchant, youwill be sure of being taken care of.Try it.

Vmler New Management.

The Catholic Record of Scranton haspassed into new hands and is now is-sued inan improved form and with anaddition of one column to each page. Itsformer proprietor, Mr. J. C. Vauglian,has retired from the business and T.'II. C.Maloney is now in charge of the edi-torial department. Mr. Maloney is abright journalist and after perusing thethe first issue under his management we jare convinced that he is thoroughly 'capable of expounding the principles Iadvocated by the paper over which he has \u25a0been placed. It has also undergone a jslight change in the name, being nowknown as the Diocesan Record.

Our Girls and Boys.

There, were two little girls at New-port last summer, says the BostonTraveller, who attracted more than theordinary interest attached to childrenof wealthy people. These two maidenswore Gertrude and Consuelo Vander-bilt, and in a few years they will bethe richest heiresses in society.

They are not sisters, but cousins,and as entirely dissimilar in appear-ance and character as though no dropof the same blood flowed iu their veins.But they are close companions and ap-parently fond of one another, and whenone drives out in her little dog-cart theother is sure to appear also.

Gertrude is the oldest daughter ofCornelius Vanderbilt. She is about 13years old, anil the fairies have givenher the fair beauty of the "Snow Prin-cess" as well as her pot of gold. Herresemblance to little Elsie Leslie of"Fauntlerov" fame is often comment-ed upon. She has the same long curls,deep blue eyes, oval face, and pearlycomplexion. She is tall for her age.and has such a pretty, willowy littlefigure, dainty hands, and slender, arch-ed feet. Her nature is sweet and sun-ny. Naturally shy with strangers, sheis full of merriment witli those sheknows.

Little Consuelo is about the sameage, and is the oldest of W. K. Van-derliilt's children. She is named forLady Matideville, and is an old littlecreature, with a tliiu, graceful littlefigure, and a dark Mignon face, lit bytwo serious gray eyes as deep as wellsand as bright as stars. Her hair islike a tangle of dark shadows abouther head, and her little mouth, whichoften has such mutinous curves, is asscarlet as a pomegranate.

She has been twice around the worldAlva, and iu many strange coun-

tries; and the littlo sprite can talk iuJapanese aud Italian as well as in Ger-man and French. Iu fact she is high-ly educated as though she were a prin-cess royal, plays classical music,sketches, rides, anil drives, aud knowsmore about the stars and the wavesthan many a college graduate.

Some day each of these children willprobably have a fortune of at least$10,000,000, and when tlioy make theirdebut into society they will eclipse allother heiresses of the time.
