THE COFFEE-HOUSE PLAN.

The proposal to open Coffee houses in New
York, after the plan which has been in operation
for some time in parts of London, is probably
n sound one. 1t should not be expected that
its adoption, even il measurably successful,
will solve the saloon problem. 1t is far too
strongly intrcnched to yield to a skirmishing
attack In London, nile the cOffee-houses
have undoubtedly promoted temperance, they
cannot be said to have made serious i'm
preston upon the evil they are directed
against. Perhaps they might have been more
effective had the competition they represent
been organized on broader lines. 1t Is not
altogether and always the love OF drink that
takes people to the saloon. They find there
light, warmth, society, cheerfulness IN addition
to the beer and whiskey. Many go more
because of these things than because they
want to drink anything. Nearly all OF this
class would go to a coffee-house in preference,
if they could find there the conditions which
the saloon offers. The question, therefore.
ought to be considered. whether it is possible
to put the coffee houses on level with the
saloons in the respects mentioned.
OF course this is largely if not altogether
question OF available capital. If the coffee
house scheme is to be regarded as a business
one, and to be undertaken for the profit in it,
tie necessity of making the new places at least
as attractive as those they are designed to
compete with will be at once apparent, for only
upon these terms can they have reasonable
prospect of being made to pay. Given specific
demonstration that a coffee house rivalling
the saloon in everything bat the furnishing OF
intoxcants, was popular, and capital enough to
carry out the idea would probably be forthcom-
ing. But if it is only intended to provide some
or any sort of place where coffee and cakes
can be eaten cheaply, then we have simply
proposal to expand system already established;
to furnish the pnblc with more coffee
houses Of pattern long since in existence.
The cheap coffee saloon finds patronage, but
what appreciable effect has it upon the patron
age of the saloon2 That is a consideration
which must be met if any practical results are
to come from the recent proposition If past
experience is taken as guide 1t will have to
be concluded that the coffee house plan, to effect
tangible good, must be on a larger scale than
hitherto employed. 1t should be a genuine
rival of the saloon ia comfort and gayety OF
decoration. An experiment on those lines
would be instructive, and there would be good
ground for expecting marked success from it.

INTERNATIONAL JOKES.

"The Saturday Review rather resents the hu-
morOus proceedings of Colorado man who fe
Gently wrote to the clergy OF an IRISH Protestant
church in Dublin, asking for the means to pro-
bate o viii which had been made in fay or OF the
SAID church, and under whose provisions 1t was to
receive some three hundred thousand dollars. The
recipients of this information and request appear TO
have been somewhat cautious, though not cautious
enough. They declined to send the Colorado man
the drafts he asked for, but they took course
which involved still more expense for they sent
one of their number all the way 30 Denver to in
vestgate the As the reader has doubtless
anticipated, when the reverend gentleman reached
his destination he soon discovered that the story
of the pious bequest was fiction, invented by the
ingenious Colorado cores pondent for the purpose
of raising the wind, perhaps he would have put
it. 1t does not even appear, however, that the
imaginative person has been pursued in the courts
Canon Bagot, who made the journey to Colorado
to get at the facts no doubt enjoyed his trip; but
the joke does not seem to have been appreciated
by the church officers generally, nor does the
saturday rise to the true plane Of its humor.
1t was evidently intended by the Colorado in
yentor as an international "set-off' to the tall
stories about immense English estates alleged to
be awaiting American heirs, which have pulled
so many dollars out Of the pockets of citizens of
this great republic, notwithstanding all the efforts
Of the press to disllusionze the victims. Both
the Colorado person and the manipuators Of the
american heirshp business endeavor to play, for
their own advantage. upon the self-nterest which
is, according to philosophers. the strongest motive
in human nature. Both availed themselves OF
distance and ignorance of the laws and customs
Of foreign country. Both seem to have calcu-
lated pretty shrewdly. but the Colorado fisher of
men failed in his enterprise because his intended
duEes were more wide-awale than he had supposed,
though they were not less eager to receive the
hypothetical legacy than ne had expected. II Is
not perhaps to be expected that the actual sufferers
from such international Jobs will perceive the
fun in them so clearly as the unprejudiced spec
tators, but it is obvious that in both the cases
mentioned all loss would have been avoided had
not the lust OF gain caused the dupes to neglect
precautions which could easily have been employed
and which would have exposed the dcceplions
promptly.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES.

In great cities disappearances are C0ntln nually
occurring In many cases only the police know
that some one has suddenly vanished. Some
times there are ciews which suggest foul play.
Sometimes revelations as to unexpected secret
hal of the missing man indicate deliberate
evasion on hls part. Sometimes a previous
change of manner. not specially considered
before, points to mental arrangement as the
cause of the disappearance. AS to the cases
where subsequent research exposes financial
embarrassment or delinquency. they cannot
properly be called mysterious. But what is to
be thought of such case as that Of Edward
Payson Fox, the young bookkeeper who
stepped out of his employers store on the
morning of November l, and then and there
vanished as completely as if he had melted into
air Conjecture Is baffied by the results of
after inquiry here. The man was sober, steady,
domestic, happy in his home, respected in his
business, church member, quiet, self-con-
tanned, faithful in all his doings. When he
left the store at 10 o'clock that Monday morn
ing he did not even take his overcoat with
him an indication that he did not then mean
to 90 far or to be away long.
But he disappeared utterly, and no c,ew or
mystery. Foul play can hardly be thought of
in connection with so early an hour, nor is
there anything in Fox's life to base such
theory upon. He has gone; that is all his
family and friends know, and he has left no
trace. And this kind OF disappearance is not
unprecedented by any means 1t is only about
two years ago that a manufacturer living in
this city kissed his wife one morning, left bis
home to go to his business as usual, and thence
forth vanished utterly. From that hour to this
nothing has been heard of him, and his case
was as perpexng as that of Fox. He was
sober, steady, domestic. He was in no difficulty
of any kind so far as known. He was happy at
home and prosperous in business. His disappear
ance was and is an inexpcable mystery. There
are cases in which a sudden access of insanity
is the true explanation. Of late years there
has arisen peculiar kind of alienation, per haps
due to excessive business strain, the effect of
which is apparently to obscure the identity of
the victim. Under such an attack he remains
capable of acting in various ways, but ne loses
the sense of his individuality, and wanders
anywhere.
The police, with not unnatural cynicism,
generally hold that when men disappear 1t is
because they have done something, or are going
to DO something, Of WHICH thoy are ashamed.
No doubt there are cases of this kind, but in
them evidences of a suspicious nature usually il
not always appear. There are also some in
stances of people yielding to sudden impulses,
not exactly insane, to 20 away and start new
liycs, and occasionally even the steadiest men
are exposed to such temptations, and some
y;..IJ ,Pbara m a casa IN yecord of n man who
disappeared only to take lodgings across the
street from his old home, and there he hid
many years. amusing himself by watching his
wife. whom he had been thoughtful enough TO
provide for comfortably before he vanished.

Such case, how ever. must probably be classed
with those explained by mental alienation.
But in great cities there are opportunities for
tho creation of many unsuspected conditions.
People do not know their next-door neighbors.
Nobody follows the dongs OF any one else
carefully. And so there may often be clrcum-
stances which if known would make many dis
appearances seem less mysterious. The worst
is that when citizen is perfectly law-abiding
and irreproachable of conduct the police can
know nothing about him, and il such man
disappears they are without any means OF
trac NC him.
