coFFee-TEA.

New beverage Which Is Admirably Re.
freshlng and Restorative in Its Effects.
Coffee and tea have been so long
known to the world, and have given 50
much delight and refreshment to mil
lions OF people, that it seems a very
singular statement to make, at this
late day, that man has not yet availed
himself of some of the most valuable
properties of these plants. Such never
theless appears to be the case, especially
with respect to the coffee-plant
The stimulating power of tea and
conee is due to what is known as
caffeine or theme, but tea contains
large percentage of tannin, which is
not a desirable component in a bever-
age; and coffee, while less rich in
theme than tea, possesses other proper
ties which give it 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 over
looked. 1t has recently been discoy-
cred that the leaves of the coffee-pIant
are not only available for making a
beverage, but that they possess prop
critics which make them in some re-
spects more valuable than the coffee
beans.
In appearance and fragrance the
dried coffee leaves very much resemble
those of the tea-plant. An infusion of
them being made, just as 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 theme as real
tea, while there is q notable falling of
in the proportion OF tannin.
1t has been suggested that this s'cof.

HARE EXONERATED.
Voted Against Extending I'll me OF
Striker Avenue Line.

Stryker avenue Line
Alderman Robert Hare, of the Sixth
ward, is considerably exercised over the
statement which appeared in West
side paper to the effect that he had been
in favor of extending the time for the
construction of the Stryker avenue eX-
tension OF the city railway. The paper
in question states that Mr.. Hare had
moved the passage of an ordinance ex-
tending the time for the construction of
the line for year, and he maintains
that this was done for the purpose of
inJuring him before his constit uents
and for political purposes only. In ref
utation of this state ment, Mr.. Hare
yesterday furnished the GLOBE the fol.
lowing:
ION June 50 an article appeared in the
West ST. Paul Times. making it appear
that favored the passage of the ordi-
nance extending until July /, 1895, the
time for completion of what is known
as the Stryker avenue street car line.
My only reply to This is the following
statement:

city clerk. The clerk stated that action
on the ordinance had been postponed

weeks, and the president asked what

When the dispatches received yester-

local railroad officials seemed TO have no
particular interest in the announcement.
Later on another message stated that
the strike was not off, and even this did.
not move them TO any appreciable ex-

half dozen officials Yesterday on the
matter. They generally had the i'm

Seeking TO Secure Their Former
Places.
Assistant Grand Chief Youngson. of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, arrived here yesterday. He
made his headquarters at the Ryan,
and. desiring to avoid publicity SO far
as possible, did not register. When the
A. r. u. sounded its tocsln, a great
many members here of the b. of
r. E. walked out with the strikers
When they desired to walk back, it was
not so easy matter, and so Assistant
Grand Chief Youngsoa was sent for to
soothe the troubled waters. This was
particularly the case with the Chicago
Great Western company. During the
dgy Mr.. YOungson had talk with
President a. 3. Stickney and General
Manager S. StickneY on this matter. Last
evening, short time before Mr..
4oungson wentsout ON the $40 Omaha
tHain 10 Chicago, he was found by a
GLOBE reporter. He said: II am here
i'll behalf of tine Chicago Great Western
engineers who went out on strike, and
desire TO get back. desired TO have
the company act in a way similar TO
the policy adopted by the Northern Pa
clic-to remove all scabs and replace
them with its old engineers. aScer-

General Manager Stickney. In re-
ferriDg to the interview, stated
that fully tw0-thirds OF the old
men were back again. He said
further, that the company had no
complaint to make against its former en-
ployes who went on strike. but those
who were allowed TO return must do so
nnder one condition-they mvst take
their chances for positions along with
new men. He said that the company
would do the best it possibly could for
these men under existing circumstances
consistent with the policy decided upon.

DON'T GALL THEM sCABs,
Expression OF "A. x. u. Men at "a
Mass Meeting.

An open mass meeting under the aus.
pieces of the A. r. U. was held last
night at Market hall. The place was
hiled, and there was goodly sprinkliug
OF ladies present. Mr.. Mclean presitl-
ed. The first speaker was G. GIlbert.sa
switehman on the Northern Pacific
road. lie wanted the union men to be
very careful whom they called ''scabs."
lie protested against one man being
able to call out the switchmen. and said
1t was question for the Switchmen's
union. He closed with hope that the
A. H. U. should win.
Ralph O'Hara made speech of some
length, in which he condemned the
department stores, the newspapers and
the railroad managers. He thought The
union had been placed in position to
secure success the minute President
Cleveland determined to appoint an
arbitration committee. He spoke of the
manly way in which the strikers in st.
Paul had behaved, and complimented
them on even refraining from entering
saloons for fear it would bring criticism.
although many of them are accustomed
to take their beer.
President Foster, of the st. Cloud A.
K. u, and noted in the Great Northern
strike. spoke at considerable length.
He said that the men on the Great
Northern road ought not to be
abused for refusing to haul
freight from other roads when loaded
into Great Northern cars, or because
Northern Paeige trains ran over the
Great Northern track between st. Paul
and Minneapolis. He said that James
j. Hill had given bis employees all they
asked. and had even raised the wages
of some men without being asked. He
had also offered to do what would be
asked within reason relative to switch
ing cars from other roads. Mr.. Hill was
spoken of as brainy and a just and
sensible man.
MIR. Foster announced that the A. r.
U. men were invited to services at the
Cool Shepherd church, Rev. William 9.
Pope, pastor, at 1890 a. m, Sunday.
The sermon will be on capital and
labor.
c. Ii. Richards opened his speech by
declaring that the union has gained its
sally was greeted with rounds of cheers.
He criticised the course of the g. l.. E.,
and especially Chief Arthur and his
assistant, MIR. Youngston. The men
who had gone back before the strike
was declared off were also 1ampooned.
He stated that il the engineers GO
against the union as body he would go
TO work to cut down their wages to the
level of other laborers. Several voices
from the audience said they would do
the same.
He read kilograms from President
Debs stating that the strike is not of
and asking the men to stand firm. He
also stated that when the strike is de-
clared off he would receive the notice
ana would make a proper announce
ment thereof.
A large meeting of the union was also
held last night on the West side.
The central committee was in session
yesterday and last evening at Labor
hall as usual.
From conversations heard in union
labor circles it is apparent that there is
belief that the strike will be raised to-
day. There are number who are in
distressed circumstances, and many are
going back to work from sheer hunger.

500 MEN STRIKE.
They Go Out in St. Paul Through
sympathy Only.

The A. r. U. strike dies hard. 1t had
a spas n in st. Paul yesterday at p. m,
when the warehousemen and car
cleaners of the 500 line, at
work in the yards at the corner OF
Fourth and john streets, walked out
and voluntarily enlisted in the army Of
the unemployed. The movement was
an entirely sympathetic one, and not
because the men felt aggrieved at any
treatment on the part of the company.
This action is sequel to the one taken
by the Minneapolis employees GU Thurs
day. In the case of the Minneapolis
employees their particular kick was that
Northern Pacific cars were allowed to
be run over the 500 tracks, but such is
not the case here. This walkout, of
course, temporarily puts the company
in the iurch. Passenger trains will not
be affected unless the trainmen and
enginemen follow very foolish exam
pie. Notwithstanding it is iuconven-
fenced. the 500 is still managing to
handle some freight. As the Northern
Pacific's men do the switching for the
500 here, the company cannot be both
cred in this regard.
