The patriotic concort to bo given on
iho evening of May 30 at While's
opera house will bo ono of tho best en
tertainments of the season. At this
time, while our country is involved in
war with Spain, tho rendition of a
program of patriotic songs and stories
is indeed very appropriate. A ehoru.-
of fortj' voices has been rehearsing for
more than a week, as also has been a
chorus of fifteen little girls, together
with numerous solos and recitations.
Miss Florence White will represent
"Columbia," and Miss Clara Green
tho "Goddess of Liberty." War scones
will bo shown by colored lights, and
"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground"
will bo reproduced by a competent
artist.
Tho program will bo interspcrsod
with specialties from Messrs. Arthur
Tollif, Hilt Wcscott, Will Beach, O.
Osborn, Tom Whalon, W. C. Willets,
Ralph White, Glen Bearing and Misses
Rose Ilyors, Minnie Sharp nnd Kittie
Agnew.
Although tho entertainment will be
given by tho best local talent of the
city, and is far more extensive and
elaborato than ordinarily given, yet
tho admission will only bo twenty-five
conts a ticket, Toscrvod without oxtra
charge. Considering tho ability of
tho persons who take part, and the
numerous rohcarsals that are being
had, and tho low prico of admission,
there is no doubt but that the hall
will be filled to its full capacity.

Coal In the Transvaal.
In ono colliery not half a dozen miles
from tho Rnld mines I havo f-m.ii a seam
of coal 70 foot in thickness. This coal,
though if a low quality, suffices i'or tho
purposes of the gold mines, und there
is n sufficient quantity of it to outlast
far the lives of all the geld miners. Be
sides thene coal deposit.) noar the gold
fields and thope others ty the Vaal riv
er, -which furnish coal for the railway
system far down into Cape Colony,
there ore literally hundreds, perhaps
even a thousand, square milesof coal iu
the Middlebcrg nnd Brmclo districts ly
ing between Pretoria and Delugoa Bay.
la the midst of these coal beds is the
ontcrop of iron ore, end running
through them is the lately constructed
railway to Delagoa Bay. With these
vast coalfields close to a first rate port
on tho Indian ocean the prospects of the
coal mining industry seem brilliant.

In the conversation of tho bicycle fiend, "
observed a nonbicyclist, "is his habit of
personally appropriating every part and
particle of his machine. It is apparently
not enongh that he should possess the
bicycle in its entirety, but also in do
tail. My wheel, ' when uttered two or
three times to every sentence, is bad
enough, bnt when it comes to 'my sad
dle, ' my tires,' 'ray valves,' 'ray han

irritating and irrational. I once heard
a man discourse for hours upon 'my in

ho meant. From tho viewpoint of him
who does not ride, the possessive case is
