ANOTHER CUT COFFEE.
Arbuckle Brothers Will, it is Said,
Knock Of Nearly a Cent.

New York March 26.-In the coffee and
sugar trade it is expected that the decision
against Arbuckle Brothers at Toledo, in
the Woolson Spice Company case, will
lead to greater reductions in the price of
prepared coffee. Neither Arbuckle Bro
theirs nor officials of the sugar trust
would make any statement as to their flu
ture course
It was said. however, that the directors
of the WoolSon Spice company had met
after the decision was rendered and that
it was decided to make another cut in cof-
fee prices. This cut. it is said, will be q
of cent pound. bringing the price per
pound down to III cents net. 1t order
to avoid the appearance of making the
reduction as direct result of the decision
in the courts the announcement may be
DELAYED several DAYS.

scheme for raising Easter money which
has proved very successful They are

New York I can ride in the streets of
Washington, because they are 50 very
smooth. In New York 1 cannot ride
my pony that my papa gave me, and
cannot ride my wheel, because the
streets are SO rough. The streets here
are so smooth and the children are so
nice. There are a good many cOlored
children in Washington. 1 like my
school, and so on.
Virginia MacKaye Smith tells a story
about the Cleveland children, which

and Mrs. Cleveland had their bonnets
on to go away from Washington, Mr..
Cleveland, who was then president, ask
ed them: Where are you going, chill
dren?'

up and said: 'McTingley's tomin

I suppose this story will go down to
posterity.'

PACIFIC COAST CONDITIONS.
James Braden Notices a Great I'm
prOVement There.

Mr. James Braden of this city, has re-
turned from trip to the Pacific coast, and
he has observed that conditions out there
are by no means as dark as they have been
painted by the calamity howlers. Mr. Bra
den has been making annual trips to the
coast during the last fourteen years, and
he has noticed a wonderful Improvement in

Every observer familiar with the past
must say that there are many more
men engaged in agricultural and hor-
ticultural pursuits in the Pacific
coast States than ever before; that
the stock raising, particularly cattle
and hogs, has never employed more men or
engaged more capital. The lumber business
of the Pacific coast, particularly Oregon
and Washington, has greatly increased in
mills, in product. in capital invested and in
employees. The shipping trade particularly
that of wheat, flour and lumber to distant
countries, is very encouraging. The local
factories and foundrieS are more numerous
and doing more business than formerly.
But the greatest change to be seen relates
to mining, particularly gold mining, which

THE rumor of $4,000 tramps crossing over
Kansas TO the Pacific coast should be mod
flied by dropping one of the ciphers. The
mines of the Pacific coast alone hold out
invitations in territory sufficient to give
5000, 600 men employment, with promise of
better results than ever. New discoveries,
new methods of mining, improved processes
of extracting the metals stimulate both
capital and labor. The growing population
carries with it a smaller per cent. OF tramps
