The new and beautiful school house
which Prof. II. l.. Hood is building
upon grounds purchased by him at
2O2 West Hickory street, embracing
the lot upon which stands the old log
house which Gen. Houston occupied
as his headquarters as president of the
Republic of Texas, will soon be COM
pleted, and when finished, will be adj
mirably adapted to the purposes of
the school which Prof. Hood and his
accomplished wife as his assistant.
have conducted for several wears in
Austin for educating young ladies.
The building is a tWo-StOry metal
rooted structure, properly located to
allow open grounds on all sides, in AN
enclosure measuring about one hun
dred by one hundred and thirty feet. It
will contain ten handsome rooms, OF
different dimensions, averaging twSn-.
ty feet square, the Sc on the first door
over the basement being provided
with fire places and the upper rooms
with stoves. There are double-deck
galleries under roofs, front and rear,

A visit by the reporter to the Capt.
toll ice works yesterday elected the
information that the new machin
cry recently put in is working
like a charm, and that the amount of
ice daily manufactured exceeds 3d.
600 pounds. This amount. the pro
prietors say, is ample for the supply
of all demands, both local and for
shipment. The facilities for delivery
in the city has been increased in pro-
portion to the increase of turnout,
and all that is necessary is to order
the quantity used daily, and it is
promptly supplied. Messrs. Mating
ley & Zimpleinan are men of business,
and duly appreciate the estimation in
which their promptness in the past
has been held-so much SO as to urge
them to new efforts to serve the pub
lie faithfully.

Our authority says that the aver,

Even this precaution will not secure
immunity from fraud in these days of
sham coffee beans, made from dough.

When taken from the pod it is found

Neither this nor the berry itself gives
the least suggestion of coffee flavor
to the palate. Roasting is required
to bring out its virtues.
THE fragile plant must be pro-
tected from the winds, lest the berries
be shaken off; it must be shaded from
the direct rays of the sun or it will
be parched; and, above all, it must
have steady heat to ripen it. There
fore it is usual to find the coffee plants
hidden away amid superb avenues OF
lofty plantains, whose broad leaves
nod protectingly over them, The
planter thus secures two crops from
a single plat of ground. Among the

Coffee.

Coffee, which was first used by our
ancestors in the seventeenth century,
has come to be considered in the light
of a necessity. Comparatively few
persons, however, know very much
about it or its cultivation. Hence,
some facts presented by a writer in
the Mechanical News may be of in
terest. The first coffee house in Lon
don was opened in 1862 by the Greek
servant of Turkish merchant. The
origin of The coffee plant Is yelled III
obScurity. Tradition credits the
Mufti Dhabani, Persian notable,
with its introduction from Abyssinia,
and about the year 1857 travellers
brought tales westward of drink
used by the people of \ emen, "where-
by the night watches were made light
and the faithful were stimulated to
sing the praises of Allah" This was
coffee.
The writer relates that "a pious
sheik in Alden was the first to drink
the black juice as sort of public
spectacle. In Mecca itself violent
strife arose soon after its introduce
ton as to the propriety of using it.
There were great meetings of learned
and pious men, who at last, probably
after extreme pressure from the
Malneluke governor, Khair-Beg, de-
clared that coffee disturbed the
brain and intoxicated like wine But
their opponents were Of another Opin'
| ion, and adduced the authority of the
celebrated Bagdad physician, Avicen-
ma, in their defense, which, however
did not prevent the transgressor OF
the edict, forbidding the use of coffee
from being publicly whipped, At thu
same time the Zealots of the Hedja'
proclaimed that all coffee drinker:
would appear before the All-Mercifu
on the resurrection day with blacl
faces. While the great anathema wa
being pronounced at Mecca the broth
ers Of the order at Cairo-the very
MamelukeS themselves-were already
reyeling in the newly discovered lux
ury. A confirmation of the Mecca de
cree was, therefore, not to be expected
from the sultan, and he, Kanfu al
guris, quashed the order of his COVER
nor and sent the latter into exile
Then many holy sheiks (or example
the celebrated Mohammed Harift
founder of one of the four orthodo,
schools of Islam) took the side of tn
coffee drinkers. Thus was the preciOu
bean fully rehabilitated in Western
Arabia"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-07-26

cally stated that they were innocent
of the charges; not only did they not
rob the mails, but actually never
heard of it until after the
sheriff arrested them, and the
madam hardly knew it then. There
is one or two-yeS, several-most I'M
fortunate circumstances, considering
their entire innocence, in the story
they tell. Mrs. Baxter says she sun
posed she had a mother living at MI
lano junction, and it was for the pCr-
pose of seeing this aged mother that
they left their farm in Hays county
and in a covered wagon went to Mi
lano Junction, and by a remarkable
coincidence arrived there the very
night the mail was robbed. This is
indeed an unfortunate circumstance,
but still more unfortunate one is the
fact that when they reached there
they found that the madam's mother
did not reside there at all, but had
gone west, no one could tell where;
for, strange to say, feW-a very few
old lady at all. They did not go to
the depot, they say, while in Milano
junction, but camped Just east of the
railroad. When they could not find
the mother they did the next best
thing $50 they say and spent the
night, or until IL o'clock. in the
one or two saloons which the cluster
of houses called Milano junction af-
lords. Here, too, comes in another
unfortunate circumstance, consider
ing their innocence, and that is the
fact that they did not hear of the rob-
10 or fnI hn
that night at all-never got a Suspi-
quite naturally think they would
would have mentioned the exciting
in their hearing, but they did not
get lisp of it until after the arrest
yesterday. Another unfortunate cir
cumstance in the story of the inno-
cent man and wife is that they left
for Lampasas Immediately. "Why
did you go to Lampasas 2" asked our
reporter, INSTEAD of going back
home after you found your mother
was not there? well" said the in
nocent Matt, 81 thought, as no one
knew where Alice's mother had gone,
that perhaps she had gone to Lam
pdSdS, 81 we NcuG UIlcI0 W S66 IL We
could find her." But they did not
find her, and this is unfortunate, too.
Another very unfortunate circum-
stance is that $50 found upon Mr..
Baxter is the identical money re-
mitted in a letter that was pilfered
at the mail robbing. Taken all in all
it is highly unfortunate combina-
ton of circumstances for two inno-
cents abroad to be placed in, but if re-
ports are true the male INNOCENT has.
been surrounded by unfortunate cir
cumstanceS heretofore.
