fects of the recent storms as much 
as any town along the Shore. People

and white letters over the door was 
greatly admired. Chane’s orchestra 
furnished excellent dance music. Ice 
cream and cake were served at in-

Gloucester gave one of the most in- 
teresting lectures of the winter at 
the Village church on “Experiences 
in the Pennsylvania Coal Mines.” 
Dr, Williams spent several years in 
the mines there. At the outset, Dr. 
Williams gave something of the his- 
tory of the mines; first he said that 
each farmer there mined his own 
coal and after the mines were bought 
out by the coal barons, coal could be 
bought for one dollar a ton. Condi- 
tions among the workers and _ the 
dangers in the mines were dwelt 
upon, The average wage of the 
miner for the year around is $1.56 
a day and the employees are kept in 
subjection to the great companies for 
which they work. ‘They are obliged 
to rent their houses from the cor- 
porations and to even buy their gro- 
ceries from the same people. They 
get into debt and find it impossible 
to clear themselves. 
Railroads caused nearly half the 
forest fires in Colorado and Wyoming 
last year, and almost one-sixth were 
set by lightning. In California light- 
ning started more than half, with 
railroads a comparatively insignifl- 
cant cause.
