Coffee Goes Lower.

Another cut in the price of roasted
coffee was made Tuesday. This reduction
is due to the light between Arbuckle, the
big coffee operator, and the Sugar Trust
working through the Wooson Spice
Company, of Toledo, Ohio The desire
of Arbuckle Bros. to engage in the sugar
business caused the conflict
Tuesdays cut was in response to a
like reduction by the Woolson Spice
Company. Baltimore coffee rosters fol
lowed the cut. 1t is stated that the pre-
sent price of green coffee does not Justify
the cut prices, and this last reduction will
practically wipe out the profit of roasting
coffee.
An interesting phase of the situation
is a move by the firm of Arbucklc
Brothers in purchasing minority holding
in the Woolson Company. This, it is
said puts the firm in aposition to go to the
courts on the ground of conspiracy. A
receivership for the Woolson Company
would then he asked on the claim that the
ma ority interest were wrecking the
interests of the minority. The Arhucklcs
paid 100000 for sixty shares of stock
which they bought

NJ eeting of the Salnagundi.

The Salma gundi club held its first meet
ing of the New Year on Wednesday at
the home of Mrs. Joseph S. Wilson. An
entertainment appropriate to the season
had been arranged by the hostess, and
first on the programme came New
Years Greeting" to the club by Mrs. Ig
natius S Wilson The greeting was in
verse and very gracefully did the writer
mingle ali sorts OF good wishes for the
future, with bright illusions to past do
ings of the club and kindly praises for one
and all. Next came the Current Events"
by Mrs Frank Hill, who read most in
teresting account of DIR. Nansen's Polar
Expedition. Mrs G. V. A. Clagett then
read poem that was printed a few days
ago in the Baltimore Snn, and which was
written by Edward Everett Hale especial
ly for the New Years meeting of the
Lend "a Hand Club" held recently in
Baltimore. Last but not least were some
bri .ht original verses by Miss Susie
Clagett. The usual literary programme
being completed, for the further entertain
ment of the Club game was suggested
for playing which each person was pro-
viled with sheet of paper and pencil
and told To write ut the top of the sheet
a word-the name of any person, place or
thing, and then fold over the paper so
at to hide what was written The
papers were then passed along, and each
nj hn
den word a question. After which the
papers were collected shuiiled, and once
more passed around to be opened now,
aud every body had tn write rhyme
TO which the word must be introduced
and the question answered When all
were finished the verses were read aloud
and voted upon Mrs. c. " A. Clagett
and Miss Susie Clagett received
the same number of votes and
their drawing resulted in Miss Clagett
carrying off the prize, little silver and
cut-gass bon oouiere.
A little later refreshments-chic
salad sandwiches, coffee, chocolate and
cake were served, after which the club
adjourned to mold its next meating ut the
home of Mrs. l. s. Wilson, who announc
ed that hers would lie a Geographical
Assembly, and asked that each member
should, in some way either by the arrange
ment or decoration of her dress, suggest
some familiar Geographical name.
Those present We're: Mrs. Julia Os-
borne, Mrs. l. S. Wilson, Mrs. Frank w
Hill, Mrs c. Y. A. Clagett, Miss BARRIER,
Miss Susie Clagett, Miss Mary Beale, Miss
Augusta Magruder, Miss Addie Clagett,
Miss May Hill and Miss Mary Wilson.

Died, suddenly at his home in Piscata-
way district on the 10Th of December
Edward W. Young in the G3rd year of his
age.
The deceased was richly endowed with
those noble attributes that make the
kind and obliging ncighbor, tender and
atfectivinate husband and father and true
and infltering friend. Though torn
from his family so suddenly they find
consolation in the sweet recollection of
his generous disposition his noble self
sacrifices and conscientious discharge of
social and Christian dutcs--dying as he
had lived true believer in and faithful
follower of the precepts of the Holy
Catholic Church of which he was con
SiStcut and exemplary member.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, an that
is bv constitutional remedies Deafness
is caused by an intiamed condition of the
mucous lining of til" Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inilamcd you have Il
rumblin@ sound of imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken ont and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Railroad Enterprises.

The Commissioners of the District of
Columbia on Monday sent a substitute bill
to Congress with their approval in lieu of
House bill 91O5, authorizing the Chesa-
peake Beach Railway Company to extend
its lines into the District of Columbia
The substitute bill contains pro visions
similar to those incorporated in street rail
way charters granted by Congress in late
years, and it is judged better protects the
interest of the public than the original bill
The route of the road begins at or near
the southeasterly boundary line of the Dis
trict, where the company's line shall reach
the same, and running thence by such pub
lie roads or other practical routes as the
Commissioners may approve, over and
above the tracks of the B. & p. railroad in
such manner and at such height as not to
the Anacostia river; thence across the riv-
er by Il proper bridge, resting on pile or
other secure and approved foundations;
thence along East Capitol street to the ter
minus on the east side of 18th street, at or
near which location a station shall be es-
tablished on private grounds for the ac-
commodation of the public.
Mr. William A. Meloy, in behalf of the
Washington and Marlboro Electric Rail
way Company, has written to Chairman
Babcock of the House District Committee
protesting against the passage of Senate
| bill 2S40. ''To incorporate the East Wash
ington Heights Traction Company" upon
the ground that the ashington and Mari
| boro' road was the first one projected and
that the East Washing ton Heights Trac
ton Company's road would invade the
| territory of the Washington and Marlboro
| road. Mr.. Meloy asked for hearing on
| the bill.

John II. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.
