IT has been noticed by nearly every
one that for every two men who say
coffee keeps them awake o nights there
is one man who drinks it late at night
and takes it to allay nervousness and
headaches. This is due to difference,
not in the men, but in the coffee. In
most eating-honses and clearinghouse
chioory is added to coffee to give it q
rich color. 1t is this chicory that de-
stroys mems nerves. The average
''black coffee" even in stylish restau-
rants, is usually made of the German
prepared ''katfe essenz," which is all
chieory. Pure coffee does not look so
rich, but it leaves the nerves alone.

more companies of the Second will ar

and talk some of quarantining the res
ervation against newspaper correspond
ents. They consider the situation to
be critical enough in reality without
resorting tc exaggerat items.

A CANAL REPORT.
The Maryland Receivers File a State.
ment in Court.

Messrs. Bridges, johnson and Baker, the
Maryland receivers Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, submitted to the circuit court at
Hagerstown yesterday their first report The
receivers say that they passed over the entire
canal from Cumberland to Georgetown, with
L. l.. Patterson and Thomas P. Kinsley, en-
gineers, and from personal observation and in
formation received from reliable sources they
acquainted themselves with the property Of the
company. There are two schedules filed-one
OF the real estate and the other containing a
list Of the personal property. The receivers
say that about one-thIrd OF the real estate is
under lease, aggregating in rental value e.. 500.
or the remaining real estate listed about one
half may be classed as Lighthouses and append
ages, and the remaining lot of ground i'm
proved and unimproved, amounting to five or
six hundred acres. On portion OF this prop
erty are Improvements which yield little or no
revenue to tho company. Much Of this land,
consisting of rich alluvial bottom is uncuti-
waited. The receivers then suggest that on ac-
count of the uncertainty of the lines OF the
company's lands, they should be more clearly
defined by q resurvey. OF the personal
property the report saws that most of il is port
able and useful, but il is liable to be lost
OF the real estate now under rent near the
District end of the canal the following pieces
are listed; Storehouse and land near Great
Falls, s3l; Cromlin Hotel, 800; property leased
near lock 10, $50; storehouse at lock 10. ESQ;
storehouse near lock G. $50; land. S. and 10

GILBERT AND SULLIVAN PART,
The Composer and the Librettist Dis
solve Partnership.

DOyly Carte, speaking in London Of the ru-
mored separation Of Sir Arthur Sullivan and
Mr.. Gilbert. says most emphatically that the
report is quite true. "On Mr.. Gilberts recent
return from India" said Mr.. Carte, ''he and Sir
Arthur Sullivan met to balance accounts. Gil
bert objected to certain outlay for scenery
and carpet for The Goudoliers' he said, Gin

"'The expenses are unwarrantable and eX-
cessive and demand fresh agreement be-
cause you O'Oyy Carte) are making too much
money out of my brains.

became more violent and referred the matter
to Sullivan, who upheld me, whereupon Gilbert
shouted
"'You are no gentleman or you should an
swer to me. You are both blackguards.'
HE then rushed out of the Office. using
shocking language. On the following day Gill
bert wrote an insulting letter to Sullivan to the
effect that unless Sir Arthur apologized for
sustaining me and agreed to sever all cOnnec-
sion with me he should insist on dissolving their
partnership. Sir Arthur replied:
~ think that is the very best thing to do, as
L am thoroughly disguised at your ungentle-
manly conduct"
And. SIR" asked the reporter, "that was the
end Of all relations between them?'
Yes" answered Mr.. Carte. "Chey have not

fuential friends have tried to patch up the
quarrel, but in vain. Though Gilbert was will
ing to renew the partnership Sullivan will never
consent"
but what about Eugene Field and Sullivan
working together?"
'Absurd; Sullivan doesn't know Eugene
Field, but have just heard that Gilbert has
signed partnership with Alfred Collier and
they will begin Immediately to write comic
opera. with which Horace Sedger will COM
mence his management of the Lyric Theater.
Gilbert swears he will never allow any of the
operas produced by the new firm to be played
in America, and for my part / shall never
handle any of Gilberts and Golfers works.
Sullivan will probably collaborate with George
K. Sims"
In confirmation of Mr.. Cartes statement
Charles Abud and William Terriss were seen in
the box office of the Gaiety Theater and Terriss
remarked that he had witnessed the signing of
the contract between Gilbert and Collier in
Sedger's Office yesterday
