A   PATHETIC   NOTE
(Telegraph to Indopontlent.)
Princeton, Jlarch 1,—"I have never been Inside the White House and shall feel very strange when I get Inside. I thin!- of this little house here; think how muoh more pleasant it is to me and how miuh pleasanter are the neghbors here." s;ud President-elect Wilson tonight addressing about 3,000 of his Princeton neighbors, towns¬ folk and students. There was a pa¬ thetic note in his words an.l a touch of sadness in his tones. The Presi¬ dent-elect was plainly affected by the tribute paid to hini by hi.s . home town.
He  said   he   felt   more   at   home   in his   Princeton   cottage   than   he   ever could feel in the White House.    How- j ever,   he   added,   the   task   that   lies before him   will   he  the  more  agree- , sble,  "because I am trying to  r^'-pres- j ent  those   who   have     so     graciousl.v trusted me." ;
Mrs. Wilson  and  Miss Je.-.--«> Wilson watched the assembling of the crowd ] in front of the cottage £«-om a small [ window   in   the   second   story.   ' Mrs. : Wilson   rested   her  arms   on   the   sill ; while  her  daughter  leaned   over  her  | There was  a   delighted   smile  on  the : face of each of them  as  the proces¬ sion led by a brass band, v.hich had , started on the Main  street  camo into i sight.    The band  was playing:     '"Hail i to   the   Chief."     Each   marcher   car- | ried  a   Japanese   lantern.      The   pro- i cession  was  picturesque.     Rcfore  the i procession came   into    view,     several > hundred  persons   had   t.aken   a   posi- | tion   on  the   lawn.     They   were   held , back  by  boy  scouts,   who   held   long sticks   in   a   semi-cirrle.      The   hovs ' were powerless  to     Ue^p     back     the larger crowd l.ater.    Thev  swept  past j {Tie   boys  and   swmm:  on   to   fhe   cot- I tape ground?.       The    President-elect j appeared and a misrhtv .-heer went np.

Jt  hore   the   insi-ription: "Presented to Woodrr-w AViison, presi- | dent  of  the  T'nited   Ptates     by     the citiiiens of      Princeton,       fourth     of March 191.1,"    The reverse s'de bore the seal ofthe old l)oroi;gh :.r Prince¬ ton.

proud of his successful       career    ami splendid victorious.     "We   have  onlv loaned vou  to   the  nation."   he  said, "and  nhen the  great  work   you  have before  vnii  at  Washin°'ton   's  accom¬ plished it is our earnest hope thpt yon Hll come bpr-V  to  rtd  Pr'ncetoti  and spend  your  fl•^'•s  w'th  ,!.«!." .\ His riicer. There   was   armther   big   cheer   for the liresident-elei t  i^md   he   responded as follows:     "Col.   Flynn and   my fel- lew ritizens:    "I  feel verv deen'v ei>ti- Dlimented   that   you     have     gathered here   tonight  to  say   good-bye   to   me and  wish  mo   Godspeed.

"This conclusion is bused on the fact that none of the companies : has suffered an increase in the cost of production equal to the in- ] crease in the selling price over and above the recent advance in ! wages.''
COMPANIES MADE BIG PROFITS
Secretary Nagel says that the increase in the price of coal since 1901, when the new wage scale went into effect, has averaged 26 per cent a ton.    The average increase in the prices of sizes of coal pre- psn'K'.d for doraestic consumption amounted to 31.23 cents per ton and the average increase on pea coal and the smaller sizes was 16.14c per ton.    The operators profited by suspending their 40 and 50 cents a ton discounts in April and May, 1912, and in the higher prices which prevailed later.    Through these sources the operators received $13,- 450,000 more than they would have received for the same tonnage at previous prices.     Of this about $10,000,000 was derived from the in- creiisod prices and about SLi,500,000 from the suspension of discounts.
WHAT THE MINERS GOT.
Conscience Is a pisculior huma» «t< tribute and works In m>-Bterloua vfa.ytk. Harry Truinpore. of "WHkes-Barrw town.'ship, had a demonstration of this. fact during the -week, 'whoti a *ll'»^P watch owned by his father and sxolMX twenty-seven years ago, was returned^
The theft occurred while the faih«^ now deceased, was employed at th» Diamond breaJter, of the Xiehlgh Ar Wilkes-Barre Coal Comiiany. as forw» man.
The stolen watch was a silver <m^, and valued at about forty dollars. John Leslie aJi empkiye at the colUoijr at tho lime now sla.les that he was « witness to the theft, but did not dis¬ close his knowledge of the matter, not. desiring to be branded aa a "squealer.**
