Brazil itself produced twice as much in 1sas-'e9 as 1t was producing in 1s9s-.s4. Naturally prices went down--to the grower. Possibly the consumer feels that he has not got much of the benefit Of the decline. And yet twenty cents Ia very little to pay for a pound of good coffee. If it could not be obtained for less. s2O would be none too much to pay for It
 Under the circumstances. coffee ought certainly to be cheaper stnl. Is the cof- fee which the people will get under these conditions likely to be good? Well, one remembers what the Kentuckian said when some one railed against bad whis- ky "sah, there Is no such thing as bad whisky Some whisky is better than other whisky but all whisky is good" This Is certainly much truer of coffee than 1t is of whisky.
 But where does the best the super latlve, coffee come from? That Is a matter of taste. We hear all sorts of fables about coffees produced in Porto Rico, in Honduras. in Colombia. which are as choice in that line as Liebfrauenmileh ia among wines, the product going only to kings and millionaires. Beyond doubt. there are superlative coffees, but their production is apt to be about as much a matter of accident as of anything else. One country may produce the best coffee one year. and another the next, the dif- ference being due to favorable or un- favorable seasons, to which the crop is very susceptible.
 Of course the coffee of Mocha and Java is the most famous. Mocha con tinues to send out some 1000 tons of coffee every year. but 1t does not pro- duce as much Mocha coffee" as is con sumed in the United States alone. by many thousands of tons. The explana- ton of the miracle Is easy. In a sense all coffee is Mocha and Java coffee, be- cause all coffee is raised from beans that came originally from Mocha and Java. just as all maize is Indian corn, though the Indians produce extremely little of 1t nowadays. The dealer who sells you mixed Mocha and Java" for 2S cents pound gets around the difficulty in his conscience that way. His compound probably came from Brazil
 There is a false current about several coffees produced on West Indian, Cen tral Americanor South American high lands, to the effect that such and such a coffee has so rich, so intense an aroma that the shell in which It grows has to be dried and ground with the berry to re- duce the flavor to practicable point. Nobody knows at just what place this coi-ee Is produced, but it is produced somewhere. One wonders why 1t would not be just as well to take the coffee as the good Lord made 1t, and reduce it's superlative deliciousness just with little hot waterl
 As a matter of fact, the outlook is a glorious one for the coffee drinker. Competition all over the world has forced growers to improve their stock and will compel still further improvement Prices tend downward. In the nature of things the consumption must increase, and with 1t the happiness of mankind. For who can deny that men have been happier since the introduction of coffee than they were before? l

Troops will be brought to Lacka-
wanna county if the riotous conduct t
of the strikers continues. Sheriff
Schadt has declared this in positive
terms and communicated his declara-
ton to President Mitchell.
The outbreaks of violence in so many
parts of the county Monday, on which
day it was announced the operators
would endeavor to start up number
of collieries, We're chiefly responsible
for the sheriff's decision.
He has tried all along to be Impair
tial and pacificatory. When outbreaks
occurred he sought to have the mine
workers officers assist in quelling
them. When other outbreaks We're
threatened, he called OF the same par
ties to help prevent them. Time and
again he was assured by the leaders
that the mine workers would do all in
their power to help preserve the peace
and make it unnecessary to bring
troops here. Tehese assurances, how
ever. have turned out to be idle. The
miners leaders either can not or will
not prevent the disorder.
Sheriff Schadt is determined that the
wick shall be preserved. If it can be
preserved without the aid of the mill
Tia, the more pleased the sheriff will
be. If not, as he put it himself. "We
will have to take other measures

He was thrown under the wheels and
instantly killed. the body being fright :
fully mutilated.
The remains We're taken TO Barrett 8

examination of the clothing resulted
in the discovery of Third National
bank book made out in the name of
Jacob and Gertrude Boldt. of 1241 South
Washington avenue. Inquiry at that
address by the coroner failed to reveal
anybody who knew any such person as
Jacob Boldt. Last night. however. a
young woman from this number pre-
sented herself at the undertaking es-
tablishment and identified the body
as that of her uncle, Jacob Bodt, OF
SusGuehanna.
She will go ON there today to make
arrangements for the funeral. She said
that lie uncle was unmarried and that
she did not know what he was doing
IN this city. Coroner Satry has de-
cided that an inquest is unnecessary.

contains a provision reading as fol-
lows: provided. however. that the

part to be attachable, however, shall
be that part in excess of $l2, and this

Drury favors a campaign of education

In, the course of the discussion which
was aroused by the senator's address
he took occasion to remark that he
didn't mean the buying of votes when
he said 'practical work" Someone
said he thought it would be possible to
get legislation through without buy
ing votes.
Well" said the senator, there are
