OK last Friday morning Mr.. j.

found the trunk in which it was kept
broken open and its contents taken
away. MIR. Champey had twenty
nine pounds in coin, all Of which was
carried off, also quantity of Green
backs, in all amounting to $1,000.
SO far no clue to the robbcr has been

it, have, as BY magic, been changed

ton began. TO examine and count the mil
lions of halves, quarters, dimes, half dimes
and three-cent pieces included In this sum
will impose heavy and protracted labor upon
the Treassrer's limited staff Of clerks, while
the vault room, filled'up as it already is with
silver, will be taxed pretty well to hold it.
The sub-treasury In that city already con-
tains s815,00O Of subsidiary silver coins, and
by the close Of this week will also contain
over 100000 standard silver dollars, it being
now the recipient OF alarge amount Of these
dollars daily from the mint, which Is already
overstocked with them, though their coinage
goes on The standard silver dollars are all
new ones, having never been In circulation.
II is quite evident from these figures that
Philadelphia has q superabundance Of silver.
The new Law will do much good In relieving the
public from the nuisance caused by the over
issue OF this coinage. As the mint is 10
Gated there, it probably gives that city more
than its share Of the silver coinage, and this
will devolve upon the sub-treasury there
probably more work proportionately ut re-
deeming this coinage than any other In the
country.
A long letter on the subject Of coffee ap-
pears in the Louisville Courler-J ournal OF the
seventeenth, from which we gather some in
teresting facts concerning the fragrant berry.
Since the beginning of the eighteenth century,
the production and consumption OF coffee
have Increased enormously, and pric es have
i varied from various causes. In II oland, for
instance, In 1912, coffee advanced to 27O cents,
but, after the fall Of Napoleon, prices declined,
| and Java wavered between forty and fifty
eight cents. Fluctuations, however, have
mainly been caused by want OF facilities for
production. The coffee-Rrowing districts
have not kept pace with the demand, which is
constantly on the increase. The consumption
Of coffee In this country rose from 1850 to
1859, and then declined until 1868. It has
since increased fourfold. To obtain an intelli
tain kind and observe the variations In prices.
For instance: Rio or Brazil coffee, Of which
there Ia more imported than all others COM
bined, and which influences all others to d
greater or less extent. The following is the
cargo valuation in gold "in bond" for fair to
prime Rio, average for each year from 1916 to
1878:
