COFFEE TIPS
How the First Plants Were BrouEht
Over to This Side OF the
World,

pretty story of the introduction of
coffee into the western hemisphere is
quite to the point since our new posses-
sions have so bountifully produced it in
the past, says the Philadelphia Record.
There was time when this "assisted
emigrant," though so nobly self-sup-
porting when it has the opportunity,
was tender slip and likely to perish of
thirst. In 1714 Louis XIV. was pre-
sented with a single coffee plant for
his botanical garden by an Amsterdam
magistrate. 1t was nourished tenderly
and in time slips from it were sent to
Martinique-no doubt sub-rosa to the
Dutch-the Dutch having long con-
trolled the cultivation of coffee and
guarded it jealously lest it be eulti-
waited on islands not under their control.
On the way to Martinique the botanist
in charge, the ships supply of water
getting low, shared his own daily al
lowance with the precious plants. Re
spending to his kindness, they were
soon growing nicely in Martinique. In
due time these slips produced their
fragrant white flowers-they grow at
the roots of the leaves-and these pres
emily changed into berries, each with
its two grains Of coffee. From Mar
Unique the coffee journeyed to Porto
Rico and Cuba. -
ports about $0,OO0,Ooo worth of this

wild in some parts Of Africa.

AFTER SPANS INDEMNITY.
Thieves Cut open Odicial Mail Bag
From Paris Foreign ONCE.

Washington, May l0.--The Official
mail bag from the Paris foreign office
which reached the French embassy
yesterday, was In damaged condition
a hole being rent In one end large
enough to permit hand and arm TO be
inserted and the contents OF the bag
examined. Fortunately, however, an
examination OF the contents and a
comparison with the official list OF en-
closures, showed that nothing had
been removed, probably because an in
spectlon indicated there were no funds
enclosed. The reports IL late OF the
payment to Spain OF $4,000, 900
through the medium OF the French en-
bassy, may have led 10 this mutilation
OF the French bag. The hole was too
carefully made To be the result OF an
accident. A large heart-shaped Incl
sion WAS made In the leather and this
was torn sideways, making an opening
about 9 inches across.

HITCH IN PENGREE'S SCHEME.
Street Railway Owners Decline Com
missioners' Propositions.

Detroit, May 10.-Negotiations for
municipal ownership of Detroit's street
railways are at standstill and the sit
uation gives little apparent hope for
reaching al agreement as to the terms
of purchase between the city's street
railway commissioners anu the owners
of the street railways. According to
the attitude of the commissioners,
there must be some concession by the
companies, or municipal ownership
and operation as at present contem-
plated, cannot be accomplished. The
price named by the owners of the roads
is stated to have been $15,325,0 in
cash or it's equivalent. The equivalent
proposed was $17100,000 in 4 per cent.
bonds.
