WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE !
Most of It Taken by sheiks and Gov. ernors of Arabia-Little h
 Ever Exported.

"I don't believe there is pound of genuine Mocha coffee on this continent" MT. c. T. Hilh. glas, a coffee merchant, informs me, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, Cor that 200 peo- pie in this country have ever tast- ed 1t, unless they have at some time visited Arabia and drunk it at the table of some sheik or gov. ernor.
 "The true Mocha is the finest coffee grown; it has a delicious fla. vor that makes it as superior to the very best of other brands as silk is superior to cotton, but the crop Is extremely limited, and hardly ever more than satisfies purely local demands. Some Arabian coffee may find it's way to this country; 1t may even be called Mocha, but it is not the real arti- cle, I am sure, and none of us has ever had it here, though we get the best of other brands that are grown in Ceylon and Java, and that means some mighty fine cof- fee. It is not Mocha, however, for the whole of the true Mocha crop each year wouldn't supply the cof' fee demands of one ward in St. Louis alone for a period of six mouths. The best and plumpest berries of the Mocha growth, those with the most exquisite flavor, are eagerly taken by the governors and sheiks in the vicinity, and they have to get their orders in in advance, so that they may be sure of their annual sup ply. The second-grade berries go to the wealthier citizens, not of the governing class, and the third, or poorest, grade of berries, which are not much superior to the best Java coffee, are sold to the people, and the demand invariably ex' ceeds the supply.
 "Sometimes a few pounds of this cheapest grade of Mocha finds its way to Constantinople, but it is very, very seldom, and don't believe an ounce of it has ever got any further west than that. lore sume that if, by some hook or crook, pound of the real plump berried Mocha were landed in this country it would sell for a price that even a Rockefeller might hes. itate to pay. We get the best cof fee grown, apart from the Mocha, but the local conditions which pre-. vail where that coffee is raised prevent us from obtaining any, and I hardly think the real thing will ever be found in our markets" pApE A GPEAT EAVORITE.

INSPECT THEATRE
Committee of the City Council
Begins Examination of

SOME CHANGES AT ILLINOIS
Additional Water Protection on
Stage, New Curtain and
More Exits.

In accordance with instructions
given at the meeting of the city cohn-
ell Monday evening the mayor, fire
and light committee and chief of the
fire department today started on its
tour of inspection of Rock Island pub
| lie buildings. The Illinois theatre was
first visited. In the party there were

of the property; Charles +. Kindt, of

basement to top gallery and number

cussed that will be recommended in a
report to be made to the council at Il
| later date. The mayor and commit
| tee and chief of the fire department
expect to have a meeting with the
owners and managers of the theatre
during the week. when the changes
suggested at the inspection today
will be further gone into and agreed
upon.
The fact that there are to be
changes does not necessarily imply
that the playhouse is unsafe. On the
contrary. it was found equipped with
all ordinary means looking to the pro-
lection of patrons in the event of an
emergency. and the present inspection
is undertaken i'm order that it be made
safe beyond all possible criticism.
No Occasion for Alarm.
The action of the council should
not occasion any alarm. said the
mayor. for the playhouse is as safe
now as it ever has been. We have
simply talked over changes proposed.
One of these is the increasing of the
water protection cf the stage, where
there is now only a three-quarter inch
pipe. This will probably he removed

will likely advise that this exit bc
opened after each performance and
