MTTLE OR ISO MONEY IN COAL FOR RETAIL
MERCHANTS.
(irorrrs Keep It Jnst to Oblige Their Poorer
(Justoiiirra, Who Cannot Afford to liny It

When tho weather prophet, nway up in lho
tho Equitable Building, decided to givo Now
York a littlo warmor weather, thoro wns no
class of peoplo moro pleased with his de
cision than tho poor residents along the cast
and west sides.
To them tho sharp, biting cold meant some
thing moro than rod facet) and frost-tlppod
cars and noses. Thoro wero no visions of a
moonlight night upon tho ico, no anticipa
tions of days of pleasure which Jack Frost
nlono in in power to furnish. Instead, tho
oold and frost and wind meant bodily suffer
ing, for in their humblo dwellings thero wcro
but fow of oven the necossnrics of life.
For them cold weather and tho ndvanco In
coal meant actual sufforing. Warm wcothor,
in turn, meant a rolicf from tho miseries of
tho past fow days; n roliof, slight as it was
apparontly, being most acceptable, nevertheless.
A World reporter's third tour among the
poorct tenements showed that as yet, how
ever, tho liiucli-soilglit-for relief bad not
arrived. Although tho weather hns been
milder, it was still necessary to burn fuel in
order to sustain bodily warmth; and coal,
tho chief factor, is still so high that littlo
pleasure can bo obtained from it.
While tho prlco of coal was lower thero
was moro couBumcd and moro enjoyment
f'nined from it. Ab it iH, the prices nro so
dgh that only tlin smallest quantities enu bo
purchased and at not frequent intervals at
thnt.
Frederick Koonigs, a grocer at Hfifl Second
nvcimo, oxpluiuB in some mensuro tho dis
comforts felt by his cuHtomers. Ho draws
an excellent picture of the few patrons who
come to him for coal, pocrty in many cases
ntampod on their faces and their garments.
To theBo peoplo 10 cents for n pail of coal
means moro titan n dollar spent in dissipation
by tlioso who havo tho necessities, tho com
forts of Hfo, and who nre looking for tho
luxuries.
Ho keeps coal nsamattor of course. He
docs not expect to mnko money on these
sales, and, indeed, ho doest not. Ills cus
tomers, however, oxpoct it, and ho sells for
their accommodation. If tho prico wns
lower he would sell moro, his patrons would
be benefited, ho would havo nu opportunity
to remunerate himself, and thoro would bo
good feeling where thoro is now misery.
JohannNentUros., of 810 Second nveuuo, say
that when coal is at $(! a ton their customers
cannot afford to buy largo quantities. If tho
price was down to 4 tho poor could supply
ttietnHohcB nbundantly, and thero would bo
profit for tho dealer, but hnrdly nt n higher
price.
Thero is littlo indication, thoy soy, that the
market will go any lower than it is. With
the difficulties in tho mining region and tho
threatened striko, thoro urn sufficient indica
tions which point to high prices, which uionu
among thu poor inen nsod suffering.
Adoltih C. H. Itathley, of 752 Second nve
line, mini: "Last year 1 sold tbroo or four
tons of coal a week. Now, with tho present
mnrkct, nil I soil is ubout two tons, or per
liups a littlo moio. The prico is raised on us
by tho ton, but wo can't advance it on our
customers. Tho advuuee uow is from five
cents to eight cents a bushel.
" Figuro thirty bushels to a ton thero is at
least $1.60 incrcaso which is practically dcud
loss to us.
" Our trade is hurt by tho peddler. Ten
ants buy of him iu tho belief that they ro
ceivo full measure and good quality nt a
lower prico than when thoy buy of un. It is
a mistake. While tho peddler may gno the
t-aino quantity it will bo of poorer quality or
tho reverse.
"LaBtyear I was willing to pay any prico
for coal. It seems that tho coal barons, in
thu face of their losses of lust year, want to
squaro themsolvos, and bo they put up prices
in cureless indiflorenco to tho consequences
among tho unfortunate peoplo of tho coun
try." Charles C. Slovres, of fit Second uvcnuo,
says that when coal is cheap lie sells moro
than when it is high, and ho accounts tor it
from tho fact that ilia pu'rotw, when tho mnr
kot is low, aro able to hpetid more money for
this necessity. Tho high market not wily
causes n loss of profit to l.im, but cnuscs suf
feriugs among tho poor residents about him.
Ho thinks that If coal was about fsor'y&.'.ift
a ton tho prico would bo about right, 'then
tho poor must pay all tho expenses attendant
on tlio advances. They cannot ufford to buy
u ton, so thej buy n pull. They havo to pay,
bttviug in this manner, almost as much ugam
as they would wero their purchases larger.
It is unfortunate thnt just at this time, he
says, the market and weather both ore against
tho poor, but he. hopes to bee. a lower market
before long.
Henry Gohrken, of COO Second ovouuo, says
that there is little difference betwoen his
trnde now and when prices wero lower.
There is less profit, however, becauso ho has
not advanced the prico on small hales.
"Customers complain," he sns, "when
evor tho prico of an articlo is raist d. On coal
the pnee all winter has been rising all the
timo. AVe wero forced at first to increase
uur prices to cover costs, but wo havo du.
eideil now to maintain tho sumo charges, iu
deference to customers.
" You see, it's a money-losing way of doing
business, but one must appreciate the needs
of the poorer people, who aro obliged to have
such articles to live, but who are frequently
forbidden them. You might say indood,
that in the mutter of coal, wo keep it for ac
commodation only. We get tho good will of
our putrouBbysodoiug, but that's about all."

YOUNG DODGE'S DISGRACE.
The Writer of the Ilojnn Marriage Notice
Hnld to be In Canuda.
Tho present whereabouts of young Walter
Phelps Dodgo is concealed from all but a
very fow porsons, nnd thoy will not toll tho
secret.
Young Dodgo left tho Buckingham Hotel
at daybreak yesterday, socrotly, nnd in a
very crushed Btate, mentally and physically.
Ho had just signed a confession to tho effect
that ho was tho "miscronnt " who had com
mitted tho " dastardly outrago" of sending
to tho newspapers for publication bogus an
nouncements of his marriugo with tho rich
heiress, Lillian May Stokes, his cousin.
It is alleged that aftor tho detoctivos had
fixed tho guilt on him and ho had been
forced by tho Stokes family to writo the con
fession for publication his father, Prof. I).
Stuart Dodgo, ordered him to leavo the
country and not return for fivo years. Hovv
ev or that may bo, it is known that the culprit
had his baggago taken to the Grand Ceutrnl
Depot at 5 a. u. jesterdny and that ho left by
a train about that hour.
It was said that he had gone to Canada; but
tho statcmont cannot be continued hero.
Mr. Augustus 1). J. Juilliard, tho guardian
of MibH Stokes, told an Evknino World re
porter this morning that, having exposed tho
meanness of Mr. Walter I'holps Dodgo, ho
took no further intorest in him indeed, did
not enro whether ho was in Canada or
Qrecco.
Mr. William E. Dodgo, tho young man's
uncle, would neither affirm nor deny that ho
was in Canada. He hoped tho unfortunate
ulluir would bo nllowed to sink into oblivion.
The startling denouement to the o3air
caused a gieat sensation among friends of tho
Dodgo and Stokes f.imilios and i specially
among young Dodge's college acquaintances.
On several of the lattor the clever and un
scrupulous young man bad taken especial
pains to cause suspicion to fall, and they will
not soon forgive him.
Nonoof them nadtho cxposuro iu The
World this morning with a keener pleasure
than Mr. George 1'. Bobbins, tho Y'alo stu
dent who wns tracked by detectives the
whole of Sunday and Monday inconsequence
of an anonymous letter, which young; Dodge
caused to bo sent to Mr. Stokes, pointing him
out as the offender.
Young Dodge wns only in his freshman
year nt Yale, but it has been decided that ho
shull not continue his studies there.

and let him turn his attention to some plan
for breaking down this unnatural barrier
which, by exacting nu over-incrcasing trib

TURKEY AND EYE-GLASSES.
Washington Market Affected by the Former
bnt Itarrly by the Latter.
Big-bodied, good-natured men aro the deal
ers down at Washington Mnrket, with roses
iu their cheeks and n good-natured greeting
for every one.
"Arejou content with the situation this
morning ?" nn Evenino World reporter nsked
Asa A. Ashby, the fish merchnnt.
" Not very," replied thnt gentloman in a
tono which belied the assertion, nnd then ho
began to chat pleasantly nbont business.
Mr. Ashby baid that trade wns a trifle, dull
in his lino at present.
" Tho peoplo hnve not got tho taste of tur
koy nnd other luxurios out of thoir mouths
yet," ho said, "but tho poultry trndo will
soon bo over and then we'll whoop 'em up for
n while."
J. L. Sutter is ono of tho wholosalo meat
butchers and his stand occupies a prominent
place nt tho cast end of tho market.
"Not very busy now," he said. "Our
trndo is practically ov cr nt noon, during tho
Iinst thrco weeks tho poultry trade has been
.nocking us out, but wo nre picking up some
now, and although our retail business is not
very large, we sell enough nt wholesale to
keep moving. Our retail customers aro
mostly from Jersey and Stnten Island. Somo
of them hnvo been trading with us for the
past thirty-five years."
Only about n bnkor's dozen of butchers in
Woshiugton Mnrkct wenr spectacles or eye
glasses. Something nbout tho business, they
say, helps to prcservo good eyebight.
Nicholas Wobbar, however, is ncvor without
his spectacles and a pair of classical eye
glasses adorn tho features of C. C. Egbert.
