Even so long ago as the seventeenth CEN
fury, the use of coffee was found to pro-
mote greater sobriety among all nations
and classes The substitution of the
breakfast cup of coffee for the morning
draft of ale. beer or wine was found a
most beneficial change, stimulating both
brain and muscle to a healthy degree for
the business of the day; whereas, on the
quite the opposite effect. In labor dis
tricts one of the most potent factors in
opposing ale houses" are the coffee
houses" And if one wishes to try the
effect of civilization on tramp, give
him a generous cup of fragrant hot cof-
ny that may lie dormant meath the liv-
cry of the social outcast.
WHEN IT is HARMFUL.
Coffee has a decidedly stimulating effect
on the heart, and when taken in excess
or the infusion is too strong is apt to dis
turb the action of this organ to I'M
comfortable degree, and the nervous SyS-
tenn is affected to greater or less extent
Dyspeptic persons should be careful
coffee drinkers, as its use frequently dis
turbs the digestion, giving rise to heart
burn, palpltation and various toxic symp-
toms, causing great discomfort and often
anxiety to the sufferer. But these dis
turbances generally arrive, we have
said, from excessive use and strong in
fusions. One frequent cause of its disa-
greeting with dyspeptics is their indulging
in it after a hearty meal Those who do
not wish to deprive themselves of their
after-dinner coffee should indulge in the
smallest quantity, clear, freshly made and
under no circumstances mixed with cream
or milk. Remember that when coffee is
taken mixed with milk and sugar it con-
ta1nS very considerable amount OF nu-
tr1ents, and Is rather highly sustaining
food. In this form we have the cafe au
lait, which constitutes. with the addition
OF roll, the average breakfast In the
French household. The cafe noir Of
France, which is usually more of q decoc-
ton than infusion, should be avoided by

ONE LODGE OF STRIKERS
 D,soBEY STARTERS ORDERS

Milwaukee. Wis, August n.-The Bay View Lodge of the Amalgamated Asso- citation today decided by unanimous vote not to obey the strike order ana In consequence the plant of the Illinois Steel Company in this city will be run ming as usual tomorrow. Several of the speakers pointed out that a strike at this time would be of no advantage to the Amalgamated Association and would do no harm to the United States Steel Cor poration, inasmuch as the trust is pre- pared. at short notice, to transfer all the work of South Chicago. Bay View and Joliet mills to its plant at Duquesne, which can be cnverted into a plant for making bar steel.
 Allusion was made to the friendly re- lations existing between the Illinois Steel Company and It's employees and strong emphasis was laid upon the wage scale just agreed to by the company, which provides for an increase of per cent in wages, dating back to July 1. The members of the lodge win contribute fiberally to the strikers in the East
 Whether the lodge is in danger of los ing its charter is the only question that Is disturbing many of the workers.

CHARRED REMAINS OF
 THE NEGRO FOUND
He Was Tied to Crow Bar in Sitting Posture and Showed Not a Iremor When Match Was Applied to Oil Sat
 urated Pine-Negroes Approved the Burning

ed to acknowledge that he had assaulted Mrs. Clark
 Along the side of the railway track a crow bar was driven into the earth. To this he was forced and bound to in a sit ting position. His legs extended straight in front of him on either side of the bar. A chain held him fast around tie waist while heavy rope encircled the bar and his neck. MT, Clark was selected to set fire to the prisoner. Washington looked straight into the eyes of Clark as the latter stopped down to apply the match to the wood, which was rich, fat pine. and saturated with kerosene oil. The flames leaped towards Richards armpits and he was soon enclrcled.
 The leaders of the mob watched the work of the flames until washington's head fell back upon his shoulders and he died. For some few minutes longer they waited around the stake and then with out shot having been fired, without noise and without undue excitement they dispersed.
 The negro citizens of this section of Bryan County, in which the tragedy took place, were almost a unit in approving 1t, and very many of them, 1t is said, were members of the mob.
