 Last Saturday Proto Brothers re- celved telegram from heavy coffee house to the effect that in view of the probable levying of an in- terDal revenue tax on coffee in the event of war, he should take no orders l for future delivery unless they are upon his state of affairs. It is difficult to say what the internal revenue tax tax will probably be. The visible supply of coffee, however, is !, ,l7S,0O0 bags, of an average weight of l25 lbs. per bag Americans are the greatest coffee drinkers in the world and If the tax levied is three or four cents pound it is plain to be seen that comfortable war revenue can be gleaned from this source alone.

Burning of Jersey City Depot Didn't
Delay Il Train.

(New York Correspondence Pittsburg
Dispatch-22d)
The Pennsylvania railroad set up a
glorious spectacular display for the
nighthawks downtown early this morn
ing. 1t only ended when a large part
Of its big station in Jersey City. well
known to travellers, was reduced TO
smoking, twisted ruin. So great head
way had the flames gained before they
were discovered, and so rapidly did they
spread, that it looked at first as if every
thing in the vicinity, the big train shed,
the eight-story office building, and the
Adams Express Companys piers and
depots, in which thousands of dollars
worth of goods were stored, would be
swept away. Only the hard and we'll
directed efforts Of the firemen prevented
thts. But aside from the spectacle pro-
duced by the flames. the remarkable fea-
ture Of the conaagration was the readi-
ness with which the railroad officers
adapted themselves TO the situation With
their ticket-oftices and ordinary means
OF entrance and exit to and from the
trains reduced to ashes, not a single train
was delayed minute In starting, and
the only inconvenience TO which pas
sengers were put was that of walking
a short distance in the storm and of
going through a room In which the
clouds OF smoke still hung thickly. With
the same rapidity which marked the
making Of preparations 20 handle the
traiiic, the railroad officers set TO work
TO replace the burned portion Of the
building The debris was still warm and
smouldering when gang Of workmen
began to clear IL away. Every charred
timber was tossed into the wreck. and
