The coal strike and coal famine will produce good effects. They will make the pétple of Canada and the United jtates-think more: of their peat beds nd encourage the facilities that will se employed for the moulding! of this yroduct into form for use. The peat beds of Canada are prac- ically inexhaustible, and with some expenditure, and especially some pa- tronage, (which js at the basis of all .uccessiul business) the fuel question Mf the future 'will be very diferent from what it is to-day.

Toronto is 'getting 2,000 tons -of soft coal at $3.23 per ton.

Production of ' New York Day By Day." A large audience, saw the melo- drama, "New York, Day By Day," produced at the Grand last night. While it" has a few pieces of fine scenery, it is one of those plays whose villain is always foiled by the sou- brette and the Hivernian poNceman, who seem to be everlastingly present when wrong is a-doing. Although the footpad killed three persons, he . got away Scot free. The '"peeler" seemed to be on his beat day-and night cov- ering most the whole of New York, besides answering special calls. This overworked constable was John Mor- ris, whose salary shoukl be increased. Other job lots of comedy were sup- plied by Frank Manning, a Dutch sausage vendor. Miss Belle Gold took four different parts, in a clever man- ner. Miss Margaret Maeder was the blind flower girl, in which role she did remarkably well. A dramatic picce of acting was done by Miss Joan Crover, as "Mother Contwell." Thé first three acts were very good, but the fourth was wearisome. ' In the last act Miss Gold got mixed up in her rag-time song and waltz, and scored the orchestra in anything but a lady-like fashion. It happened, however, that the orchestra was play- ing smoothly and accurately. The leader should have stopped and in- formed the actress that she was at fault. o-- Theatrical Comments. Amelia Bingham is to revive "The Taming of the Shrew" this season, herself as Katherine. Nat . Goodwin will be the star in a brilliant production of 'Midsummer Night's Dream," next season.

In Chicago this month Mrs. s will present Paul Hevse's historical romance, "Mary of Magdala," a play which suggests the presence of Christ, and which should not be on the stage. Sara Bernhardt is again in Paris after a summer spent on an island off the coast of Brittany. Nme.

The dis- tinguished English actor «moticed her talents and "was convinced that she was capable of doing something more ambitious than singing "Tell Me, Pretty Maiden." . ; One need not be surprised if some full-fledged 1oyvalty is 'seen on the. stage some of these davs." With the Earls of Rosslyn ana Yarmouth "al- veady performing, and the Duch of Sutherland, Viscount Tiverton and Ladies Violet Greville - and Colin Campbell writing plays. all things are possible. : ] Belle' Gold, who plays the part of "Rags" in_ 'New Yo Day By Day," had a rather amusing experi ence in one of the cities the company played in recently, In the fourth act she is disguised as a Postal Telegraph boy. While waiting for her cue, the door keeper approached her with a re- ceint for a telegram that had been delivered to 'one of the company. Miss Gold tried to*explain that he was mis- taken, and that she was not a boy, but the irate man took her by the coat collar and unceremoniously put her off the stage. The stage was kept waiting until the manager came back and persuaded the door-keeper that Miss «Gold was only playing a part. 18 S 33 STEAMBARGE BURNED. The Alberta Went up in Smoke Near Trenton.
