Coffee AduIterants.
From the Honolnlu sta

FROM the Honolulu Star.
If all of the substances that pass
through a coffee-grinding machine dur
ing the year should be written in al
phabetical order, A would begin the list
with acorns, and w would end it with
wormwood, sprouts of which are some
times used to give the debased coffee a.
slight aromatic bitter taste. Adulter-
alton occurs largely in the coffee that
is sold in the ground form. Several
coftee-berr factories have been dis
covered in Europe which were doing a
large and profitable business by mold
ind an admixture of tan bark. stove
rust, clay, sawdust, chickory, coffee
sediment and coffee meal into a neat
berry by the aid of some agglutinant.
and these berries were so we'll made
that the deception was not discovered
for a long time. This production had
a large sale among the lower classes of
Russia and Poland, and, mixed with
the genuine coffee berry, it's sale was
quite lively in other parts of Europe
Unroasted coffee berries are often
made from oat and rye flour and corn
meal. The natural aroma of these
grains Is destroyed by some process.
and after the proper amount of coffee
aroma is added, the berries are formed
and caused to maintain their shane
by some adhesive substance. The test
usually employed to discover this de-
ception is to place the beans In a
receptacle containing warm water; this

When people are Kept awake by
coffee drinking and get into a nerv-

coffee.
A lady says in part of a long letter:
THE only way 1 could get any sleep
at all, at that time, was by walking
at night in the yard until 1 got so

LEGISLATION LABOR WANTS.
Complete Exclusion of Chinese and
Anti-InjunetiOn Legislation by

Ant1-lntunction Legislation by
Congress.
Washington, April 19.-The Execu-
tive Council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to-day adopted resolu-
tons thanking senators and represen-
tatives who have stood by the labor
interests in Chinese exclusion legisla-
ton, and urging that either effective
exclusion laws be enacted or that the
full responsibility for ineffective leg
islation on this subject may rest upon
those who, while claiming in the Sen
ate substitute to give an exclusions
law, are providing an act which viii
be sure to involve the government in
endless litigation, and then fail TO ex-
clude Chinese laborers."
The Executive Council adjourned
sine die this afternoon after adopting
an address to the wage earners of
America, signed by all the members
OF the council, which says:
InJunctions Of a fragrant, unjus tifia-
BILE and outrageous character are con-
tinually issued and honest, law-abiding
and faithful citizen worlxnsen are
thrust into prisons for periods of from
one to nine months.
This growing danger impels us to
appeal to the workers and to all people
OF our country, so that the true feeling
of all may be expressed and registered;
so that the public opinion of the people
Of our common country may more
definitely impress itself upon the minds
of our national Congress and state leg
iSlatures.
With this object in view. we recon-
mend to all organized workers in ma
tional, state, central or local unions,
that at their public celebrations on
May l, July and Sept. Labor Day.,
1902, they concentrate their attention
to discussion of the abolition of the
injunctions in labor disputes and the
passage of resolutions, demanding at
the hands of Congress and the legis-
latures of their respective states the
enactment of the laws conforming to
that purpose"

NAVAL PLANT AT PORT ROYAL.

The Buildings, Including Dock, VAL
ued ut 100000, Yet viii BE Prac-
ticalIy Abandoned.
Washington. April 1s-The Navy De-
partment places the total value of the
buildings at the naval establishment
at Port Royal, S. c., at $949, 900, of
which a little more than half is the
appraised value of the dock. 1t was
contemplated to use the buildings,
which would be vacated by the trans
fer of the naval property to the new
naval station at Charleston, S. c., for
training purposes. Objections were
raised to this by some of the bureau
chiefs, and a board was appointed to
investigate. This board was not unan-
imous in it's findings and the report
was forwarded to Rear Admiral Tay-
lor, who will succeed Admiral Crown
inshield as chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, who headed the former
board which reported upon the trans
fer of the naval station from Port
Royal to Charleston. He finds no OBJ
lection to retaining some of the ships
in commission at Port Royal until the
Charleston station is far enough
advanced to do some of the work, and
he also approves of utilizing two build
ings at Port Royal for the receipt of
recruits until the Charleston naval sta
ton is ready to do so. AS the board
on torpedo boat bases has recommend
ed the establishment of a base at Port
Royal and the bureau of equipment
has a coaling station there, the Navy
does not deem well to sell
its property there.

shades off by combinations to both
darker and lighter colors and finally
to new primaries altogether.
The instruction of the pupil proceeds
something like this: The first request
is to sound the note which you believe
corresponds to a soft light shade OF
purple. Possibly the result of the
effort is a tone too light and shallow

The tone then acquires depth and IN
creased warmth. Up the scale the
tones assume the colors light red, with
touches of violet and orange and blue
The lower notes descend to dark pur-
pie, red and dark red. The instructor
carefully warns the pupil against the
slightest suggestion of faded color.
Scarlet and yellow are two colors
which are only rarely suggested. Botn

to be too sharp. They are sometimes
necessary, however, in the rendering OF
very high short tones.

of color of their own. They must pe

this new system is the idea whlG'
must be kept in mind by the puPlh
that a soft combination of color ~.

purity to each tone.

Black, Each Shade Having Corre-

From the New York Mail and Express.
Natures colors have been placed
upon the music staff by new school
of vocal instructors, to take the place
of the black and somber characters
which now cling to its skeleton struc-
ture. There has not been a literal
transformation of the music page to
a splash of color; but to few at least
of the city's society folk, rainbow hues
are mentally visible in every piece IN
terpreted: each note, to them, is re-
lated to another in color scheme, and
the whole produces the harmony seen
in the painting from the hand OF a
master artist.
This new principle in voice culture
mad its birth in a great institution Of
this city where artists and musicians
have had daily intercourse; the result
naturally being a blending of the two
arts.

Keen mental perception is the first
requisite for the person who would

more delicate tastes and the finer
shades of color they are capable of

CIGAR WAR ON IN CHICAGO.

to Force All the Retailers Into
One Company Under Its Control.
Chicago. April 19.-An attempt of the
tobacco combine to secure control of
the retail trade in Chicago may lead to
a war of determination in which the
finest Havana cigars will sell for the
price of a cheroot. Leading Chicago
retailers have just rejected a PROPOSE
ton made to them by the American
Cigar Company, branch of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, and negotia-
tlons were broken off with threat by
the combine that rival stores would be
started in Chicago to bring the retail
ers to terms or drive them out of bust
ness.
The offer to the Chicago dealers was
made by President Cobb of the Amer
lean Cigar Company, who came from
New York to labor with the dealers
personally.
The scheme proposed by Mr.. Cobb,
as related by the retailers, was to or
ganize a stock company with a cap
ital of $4,000 Each of the men con-
Quoting a separate business was to
merge his store into the company and
receive in return preferred stock equiv
alent to the amount of his assets as
invoiced by a board of disinterested
persons. After the merger had been
accomplished it was proposed to issue
common stock equal to the amount of
the preferred stock, this to be used TO
establish system of stores through
out the city. The American Cigar
Company was to assume control of the
system. 1t was the common stock
that made the retailers suspicious.
ION the surrender of our business
for the preferred Stock said M. w.
Difley tonight, 1--WE would have reach
ed our limit. Then the American CT
gar Company, having almost unlimited
resources, could absorb the common
stock and have a voting majority, thus
putting us at it's mercy. 1t was fear
of treachery that caused us to break
off negotiations !"
