NEW COFFEE RoAsTER.
McChesney e Sons Install the Very
Latest Machinery.

McChesney & Sons have installed in
their warehouse Burns coffee roaster,
something entirely new here. 1t is a
tremendous affair, run by electricity
and is capable of turning out 5000 to
1000 pounds of coffee day, if anything
like that output were necessary.
The roaster is installed in a big brick
furnace. A wheel turns the dasher on
the inside of the roaster. BY a simple
apparatus the coffee may be examined
at any stage during the process of
roasting. When done" the roaster is
turned over and out comes the cooked
coffee. 1t is Immediately transferred to
the cooler.
From this point the coffee is sent up
stairs and is there ground. In this de-
partment are both coffee and spice
grinders. All are run by electricity.
The machinery is so complete in ev-
cry detail that the concern will be able
to grind the coffee of a competitor be-
fore he can get his fires up to oven
roast it on the old plan. Several firms
in town have already contracted TO
roast in the McChesney outfit.
The roaster will be run regularly for
the first time on Friday. A large num-
ber of gentlemen of the city have been
invited to witness the start

COMEDY TO HOLD SWAY.
Henry ~ and the Rollicbing Figure
of Falstaff.


Convinced that the popular taste of
the Islands runs more to comedies
hen the Shakespearean drama, Mr..
McNay has determined TO lay the
strictly legitimate plays aside for
time. The next Shakespearean play to
be produced will be Henry " with the
rollicking figure of Falstatf as the
star. This will not be however for
some weeks and in the meantime
comedy will hold sway. After The
Late Mr.. Jones will follow The Old
Homestead, Monte Cristo. Kathleen
Mavourneen. and others.
No pains or expense will be spared
to make the productions memorable.
Special scenery as in Othello will he
painted wherever necessary. Mr.. Nc
Way is determined to read the public
taste in theatricals Alright and his
efforts should and doubtless will be
appreciated by the play going public
The minute attention TO detail used in
Othello should augur well for fine per-
formanceS i'm the future.
The line of modern plays selected
is giving ample scope to Mr.. McNay's s
powers as humorist which all those
who saw him in Twelfth Night or Pyg-
malion and Galatea will recollect are
of no common order.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-

Two Have. Been Given Up. as Lost,
While Ten Are UnaccOunted For.
a. BOSTON, Mass, March 20-There has
never been a time in the history of ship
ping when so many steamers have not
been accounted for While there is
possibility that some Of the twelve now
overdue here may reach the Azores or
other haven, the entire absence of any
news concerning them since their sail
ing leads to the general belief in ship
ping and underwriting circles that many
If not all of them, have foundered. Two
were given up as lost by the insurance
people today, the British steamship Obe-
ron, Capt. Lesley. Baltimore for Ant
werp, with 1000 tons of merchandise, and
the Norwegian ship Prince Edward,
formerly named Somersetshire, which
left Baltimore July 12 with 5000 tons of
coal for the United States warship at
Honolulu.
The missing steamers carry crews ag
gregating 300 men, and their total ton
mage is 2S. 476 tons. With the exception of
the Almida, all were on east-bound pass
ages and were heavily laden with grain
and other commodities shipped from this

FIGHT THAT FAILED,
Arrival OF the Police Was Prema.
ture and Spoiled the Play.


An attempt was made Sunday afternoon
to pull off prize fight between a ST.
Paul featherweight and a MINNEAPOLIS
man in the basement of Logan's saloon,
SiH South Robert street. Officers from the
Ducas street station got wind of the
forthcoming event and interfered.
The basement of the saloon was for
merlY used for wine rooms, but recently
has been unoccupied. 1t affords clear
floor space, and, as the saloon is just at
the end of the Robert street bridge, is an
ideal place for fight when it is wished
TO avoid trouble with the police. About
o'clock Sunday afternoon, the officer
on the beat saw a number of men strag-
Cling into the place and became suspi-
cious. Not long after he was given the
information that a fight had been plan
ned and was liable to come off at any
minute. He at once notified the station
officers, and Sergeant Ryan sent for an
officer in citizens clothes and left for the
scene of the fistic war.
Fearing that the pugs would get away
In company with Officer Zimmerman, he
entered the saloon and made his way to
the basement. About thirty members of
the sporting fraternity were found in the
room, awaiting the grand event. The
parties who were to put up the fight had
fed, and the advent of the officers was
the signal for a grand scramble for doors
and windows on the part OF the remain
ing sports No signs of a fight could be
found. the arrival of the police being
somewhat premature and putting an end
to the preparations before the fighters
could strip for action.
The proprietor of the saloon was found
In back room of the basement and, af-
ter seeing that no arrests We're to be
made. told the officers that a little fight
had been planned, but that it was to be
simply a Sparring match.
Had the police arrived on the scene ten
minutes later, the fight would have been
in progress. and the principals and spec
tators would have later occupied cells in
the DucaS street station. AS it was, there
was no evidence sufficient to make out a
case against those present, and no ar
rests We're made.
When seen yesterday, the man in charge
of the saloon denied all knowledge of the
affair, claiming that no fight had been
arranged for. After being questioned, he
admitted that ''sparring match might
have been pulled off, had conditions been
favorable. but was Mortified at the sug-
gestion of prize fight.
