The railroad coal operators of the Pittsburg, district are determined not to pay more than CO cents a ton to the miners. Several of them have announced their intention of starting up their mines at this rate next week, and are confident that they will1 have little or no trouble in securing men. Others say they will fill their contracts with West Virginia coal. Alexander Dempster, one of the largest operators in this district, says he will adopt this course. He stated to-day that he could buy coal at the West Virginia tipples at 50 cents a ton. The freight to the lakes is $1.07Vi. making total cost of the coal delivered $1.57Vs- A ton of Pittsburg coal at 69 cents for digging and 90 cents for f eight would cost $1.59 at the lakes, a difference of IVi cents in favor of the West Virginia coal, in addition to the other expenses incidental to operating a mine.

They Go Into Hysteric Because Their Favorite Opera. Hero I 111. Chicago Post. Those who went to- the last grand opera matinee beheld more of a spectacle than they had bargained for. In the first place there was a practical demonstration of what the great Auditorium looks like when it is "packed to the roof," and in the second instance there was a lively study of the subject "What fools we mortal women be!" When, at a recently slimly-attended opera session, the Ingenue confided to me that the reason for so many empty, seats was the absence of "the De Reszke boys" from the cast, also that this season half of feminine Chicago was infatuated with the said duo, I thought It was simply a silly little romance that had crept Into her silly little head, and let it go at that. But when I saw, as hosts of others did, distracted women weeping aloud In the foyer that afternoon, calling In vain (and in hysterics) for "Jean! Jean!" and refusing to be comforted because he was not why, what was there left to disbelieve? For. the women did do this some of them. Jean de Reszke had been billed to appear in "Lea Hujruenots," but failed at the last moment because of a severe cold. The women had turned out en masse in their finest clothes, regardless of driving dust and forecasts of rain. When they discovered their favorite singer was indisposed some of them behaved like lunatics. In a wild, end-of-the century fashion they tore their hair, beat upon their breasts and rent their garments. - one woman, at least, was hustled into a cab and driven away in -noisy hysterics. Some of her friends accompanied her, and missed the matinee because of their kindness. I hope they telegraphed to Kankakee for apartments for the .hysterical dame. Nothing short of hard work and a strait jacket for such as she. It Is all very well to be a "matinee girl" and to have an astronomical curiosity about stars, and yes even an admiration but to make a whole spectacular extravaganza of oneself to stand a self-confessed, superlative idiot before the world well. I'm ashamed of my sex sometimes. The "De Reszke b.-ys" are charming men and great singers, but they are both well married, and care no more for individual members of their American audiences than you and I do for the Ahkoond of Swat. A lady by the parquet's hem Some silver dollars is to them. And she is nothing more! Bah! As If a good, hearty, wholesome,' everyday American man wasn't worth all the curled darLngs, French, Italian, Russian or Polish, who ever trod the operatic, or any other stage! Of course there were hundreds of sensible women in the theater that afternoon, but so there were a number who wept and who repined. And, as I watched the writhing, gasping woman, with the cry oft "Jean" upon her quivering lips as she was being shoveled into the carriage, I thought, in the words of Little Billee: "Quite a lady, too! Oh, it makes- me sick." James Ruell Lowell on Libraries. From Essay on Books and Libraries. ' A college training is an excellent thing, but, after all, the better part of every man's education is that which he gives himself, and it is for this that a good library should furnish the opportunity and the means. Formerly the duty of a librarian was considered too much that of a watchdog, to keep- people as much as possible away from books, and to hand these over to his successor as little worn by use as he could. Librarians now. It is pleasant to see, have a different notion- of their trust, and are In the habit of preparing, for the direction of the inexperienced, lists of such books as they think worth reading. Cataloguing has also, thanks In great measure to American librarians, become a science, and catalogues, ceasing to be labyrinths without a clew, are furnished with finger posts at every turn. Subject catalogues again save the beginner a vast deal of time by supplying him for nothing with one at least, of the results of thorough scholarship, the knowing where to look for what he wants. 1 would have a public library abundant in translations of the best books In all languages. At the same time I would have also the originals of these translated books as a temptation to the study of languages. , Nor let art be forgotten in all its many forms. I should be thankful if every day laborer among us could have his mind illumined, as those of Athens and of Florence had, with some image of what is best In architecture, painting and sculpture, to train his crude perceptions and perhaps call out latent faculties. Discouraged in Speaking: Spanish. Washington Times. "A story just told reminds me," said John E. Russell, the late candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, "of an experience of my own. I had been for some years a student of Spanish literature, and when I came to Congress I cultivated the acquaintance of the Spanish minister and several of his secretaries. - I was rather proud of my Spanish, and in my conversations with them used occasionally o speak In that tongue. Whenever I did so the faces of my. diplomatic friends usually expressed a strong inward merriment. They asked me one day what Spanish books 1 had read. I told them the old standard works, especially those of Cervantes's day. Then they explained: " 'Suppose,' said the minister, 'a Spaniard who was familiar only with the literature of Queen Elizabeth's time should attempt to speak English, u.ing the language of that era. You would be surprised, wouldn't you. to hear his conversation interlarded with "Marry, come up," "By my halldom," "Beshrew me, thou art a false-hearted knave." Yes? Well, the Spanish you use contains as many old-time phrases, long since discarded, as those expressed in Shakspeare's day.' " Xot Divided by Death. VANCEBURG, Ky..
