BRAINYY GUESTS.
Frequently Hnrr Trouble With What
is Found ON Fashionable Tables.


1t has been disoovSSed by some Of the society
ladies in some Of the larger cities that number
OF the most esteemed guests at their functions
are more or less dksasreeabiy affected by coffee,
this fact being particularly observable among the
brilliant and brafny ones. To meet the want Of
coffee fanciers with whom the subtle beverage does
not agree, Postum, ft health coffee, has been quite
largely irtrcdu ed in fashionable quarters. This is
singularly nppetizlng drink. made from cereals
lwheat' etel, by the Postum Cereal Co., Limited,
Battle Creek, Mich, which incidentally looks and
smells like fine coffee but instead of producing the
unpleasant disturbances with the digestive organs
as coffee does in harhberlcss cases. 1t agrees per-
fectly with the weakest stomach and is nourishins
and fattcning, being made wholly from pure grains
1t can be served strong as an after dinner coffee
with perfect success to looks, taste and effect
upon the guests
A reliable grocer will never offer a cheap or
weak imitation Of genuine original article because
he happens to make 4 little extra profit. But It
is we'll to observe that when genuine Postum &C.
real coffee Is ordered that you get Postum and
not a spurious imitation offered as Just good.

HENRY eEoRee PRAIsEp.
Tribute Paid by william Lloyd Garrison,
the noston nofurmer.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20.-William
Lloyd Garrison, the well known Boston
reformer. addressed the Ethical society
yesterday on the life, character and
work OF Henry George, whom he char
acterized as one Of the greatest men OF
all time. He said. in part:
Never did the knight Of old fight
more valiantly to win back the Holy
Land from the Saraoen than did Henry
George to win his country from pauper-
ism. Long after we are gone men viii
contemplate from varying points OF
view this Alpine peak of moral force.
The sunset Of the nineteenth century
viii presage with added glory the COM
ing Of the twenties because he lived,
thought and wrote"
The speaker briefly rehearsed the
main facts Of Georges earlier life, and
said that IL was while he was in Cali
fornia in its turbulent and primitive pc
riod that his great work, Progress and
Poverty" grew upon his hands and
eventually came forth like a revolu-
tion.
Mr. Garrison referred TO Herbert
Spencer's rebuff of George whom he
should have welcomed as the brightest
Jewel in his diadem." and, continuing,
said: when it became manifest that
Progress and Poverty was the bugle
blast of one deeply in earnest the bait
tie ragged. Georges demand that the
immediate restoration of land TO those
who We're starving because of its mis-
appropriation was a heresy not to be
tolerated. for vested rights and priv
ileges were endangered by such teach
ing. Land owners were stirred TO their
moral depths and cried out, Robber'
The whole scheme Of taxing land values
only was decreed to be n scheme Of
spoliation. Progress and Poverty was
constantly refuted but 1t constantly re-
fused to stay so. It's vitality is remark
able and II will not down."

MISS BOARDS PLANS
New Jersey Woman Organic
ing Band Of Gold Hunters.
NOT FOR THE ELOSDIEE, HOWEVER.
Deems tho Journey Thither Too Long
and Hopes to Find as Rich Treas
ure Along the Copper River,
on American Soil.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Dec. 20
The first expedition Of gold seekers from
this vicinity has been organized by a
woman, Miss Mary NJ Board OF Metu-
chen. Miss Board knows something of
mining and owns several claims in the
Black hills, South Dakota. She is wills
ing that whoever joins the party shah
have the benefit of whatever she kIows
of mining and will agree TO let them
use the machinery which she will take
with her.
Miss Board does not intend to take
her party TO Dawson City or the Klon-
dixie region. She thinks that she has
found an even richer territory than that
at Dawson. This territory is along the
Copper river above Orca, in Alaska. She
says that the journey to the Klondike
is too long has too many dangers at
tending IL, and the working season there
IS very short Besides, the Klondike Is
on Canadian soil, and a heavy duty Will
be levied on the implements taken there.
The most difficult part of the journey
70 Orca is a portage Of 20 miles from
the Pacific coast to the Copper river.
If the party arrives at the coast before
the snow leaves the ground this portage
can be made very easily The party
viii leave about the middle of Febru-
airy and viii go overland to Seattle.
There they viii take a sailing vessel TO
Orca.
Along the Copper river Miss Board
intends to establish a town, which she
thinks will thrive. That field is COM
partively free from claims, but the
gold seekers are sure TO come upon IL,
and the growth OF the new town will
only be a question of time. The West
ern Union Telegraph company viii be-
fore long lay a cable to Orca, and then
the mining town viii try to get a line
to its limits. When the place reaches
a sufficient size, the government viii
give IL a postofIice.
The cost Of the trip to each member
of the party will be $3.50, which will in
clude outfit and provisions for year.
A camping outfit will also be furnished,
and the gold hunters will have free use
Of machinery which Miss Board in
tends to take with her. She also in
tends TO take a steam launch with a
dredge attached to the front for search
ing the beds Of rivers, which, she says,
are often very rich in gold deposits.
Revolvers, rifles and ammunition will
also be an important feature of the
outfit as a tribe of Indians inhabit that
section, and they do not look favorably
upon white people. The firearms will
also he useful in hunting the game
with which this section abounds.
Twelve persons have already prom
ised to join Miss Boards expedition
and she hopes that this number viii be
increased 20 so before February Both
men and women will be IN the party
and Miss Board hopes to have several
good mechanics along. Even If a mar
does not intend to search for gold, hC
can earn $40 day at the sawmills
around Orca. so that he will not lose
anything by the venture.

Another Blaze ~ Grand Forks.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Dec. 2O.-The
business portion of this city was threat
ened by another fire last night, which
might have been more destructive than
the recent one, when the Hotel Dalxo-
tah, the Mercantile company and Nash
Bros. buildings were burned. Shortly
after G o'clock smoke was seen issuing
from the first floor of the big depart
ment store of Benner & Beggs. and in
less than 10 minutes the building was
in flames and the fire had crept into
buildings adjoining. After three hours
hard work the fire was subdued. The
damage TO the building and stock Of
Benner & Beggs viii be $4,000. Losses
to the other firms will be small.
