DR.. Lyman Abbott Thinks New York
Is Worst Governed 'i.y in
America.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, May 6.-Dr
Lyman Abbott. Of Brooklyn in his
sermon 20 the Yale rtudants made a
strong arraignment Of the munich
pal government Of New York city,
stating that New York was the worst
governed city in the country with Phil
adelphia 4 close second and Chicago in
third place.
DR.. ABBOTT declared:
If gambling places are allowed 70
run, if saloons are allowed 10 remain
wide open at all times, if other vice IL
allowed to exist through a corrupt po-
lice force. it is because the citizens Of
New York do not care enough about
the stigma attaching to this corruption
to make those responsible for it pay
the bill
IF the city persists in allowing the
present condition Of vice 70 exist. It is
useless to appeal to the legislature to
remove vice"

ed by the bureau of statistics OF the
treasury department at Washington, al
ter careful study of the coffee-pro-
ducing capabilities of the new posses
siOns.
The islands in which coffee can b. sue
cessfully grown are Hawaii. Porto Rico
and the Philippines Porto Rican cof-
fee, in the markets where ii is well
known, is regarded as the best in the
world and it is the conclusion Of the
bureau Of statistics that when coffee
plantations have been developed in the
Philippines and Hawaii all Of the enc
million dollars or more which the Unit
ed States sends abroad every week for
coffee can be expended among the in
habitants Of our own Islands. Porto
Rican coffee has long commanded high
