notes from relatives and most intimate
friends she had by there being pushed un-

that any thing is missing from among her
effects. But there IL good grounds 10 be
lieve that she had a large amount Of paper
currency in "A black stocking, and such an
article cannot be found. That is the pO-
Ices only clue.
In another superficial search Of the
house a large stock Of remnants Of va
rious patterns and qualities was found,
besides children's books and toys. Very
many of them had attached the dealers

moved when a purchase il completed.
There are those at work On the case IN

with the many pocket books and purses
found, suspicious, and venture the Opin-
ion that the articles were never bought
and paid for. This would ii another
cause for her refusal TO associate with
neighbors.
Miss Petty resided in "A bad neighbOr-
hood, and certain residents of the vicinity
OF uLsavory reputation are under suryeil-
lance.
Miss Petty's estate cannot be estimated.

COnee-Iea.

Coffee and tea have been so long
known to the world, and have given
80 much delight and refreshment 70
millions OF people, that it seems a
very singular statement TO make, at
| this late day, that men has not yet
ayailed himself OF some or the most
valuable properties OF these plants.
Such nevertheless appears TO be the
case, especially with respect 10 the
co~free-plant.
The stimu AT ng power OF tea and
coffee Is due TO what II known as
caffeine or theme. but tea contains a
large percentage OF tannin, which Is
not "A desirable component in a bev
erage; and coffee, while less rich In
theme than ten, possesses other prop
critics which give il flavor as a drink.
Tea, as everybody knows. is made
from leaves, while coffee is made
from berries or beans. Just here Is
where something appears to have
been overlooked. 1t has recently
been discovered that the leaves OF
the coffee plant are not only avail
able for making a beverage. but that
they possess properties which make
them in some respects more valuable
than the coffee beans.
In appearance and fragrance the
dried coffee leaves very much resem-
BILE those OF the tea plant. An in
fusion or them being made, just "a in
the case OF ordinary tea, an aromatic
beverage is produced which is bitter
To the taste. but not disagreeably so,
and which contains almost as much
thine as real tea, while there IS a
notable falling of in the proportion
OF tannin.
1t has been suggested that this
"coffe-tea," although not quite as
agreeable 70 the uneducated taste as
either OF the older beverages, may
become an important article OF diet,
since IT is admirably refreshing and
restorative in its effect, and at the
same time would probably not prove
disagreeable to people Who are I'M
able to drink ordinary tea and coffee.
The coffee leaves thus far expert
mented with have been grown on the
elevated plains Of Dimbula in Cey

why they should not be widely Guilt

A Prejudice Overcome.

Englishwoman now residing in this
country, that Ihave had TO overcome,

my antipathy TO sponge cake and lady

with them are OF the gloomiest sort.

to be held in Durham this month. AS
announced in our issue of last Saturday
the programme covered two days only,
Saturday and Sunday, the 25th and Goth,
but as now planned the institute will
open Friday afternoon and close with
Sunday evenings session. The change
is occasioned by the postponement of the
West Virginia State Sunday School COZ =
vention which was to have been held at
Martinsburg March 21-23. This gives
Professor Hamill more time for the Dur

been added to the programme. Call on

COREY'S OFFER.
Gossip About the Second Assistant Secre

Gossip About the Second Assistant Secre-
taryship of State.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, March t0.-It was
reported here this morning that Presi.
dent Cleveland had offered Henry B.
Corey, a young lawyer and the son OF
Rev. DR.. Corey, of Washington, the place
of second assistant secretary of state, and
that Mr. Corey had declined.
Mr. Corey refused to confirm the rumor
to-day, but said that circumstances would
not permit him to accept such position
So far as could be learned, if such an
offer was made to MIR. Corey, the admin
istration had no preliminary conference
with Hugh Mclaughlin or his represen.
tative about the matter. Mr.. Corey is
not member of the regular democratic
organization, and was an enthusiastic
anti-snapper. This suggests that the ma
chine would not take precedence in the
matter of patronage.
