THE COFFEE MOUNTAINS.
United States Minister Lyon De-
scribes TRY Into the Interior
Of Liberia.

The minister resident and consul
general of the United States at Monro-
via, Liberia, Mr.. Ernest Lyon, under
date Of March 2. 1904, reports in regard
to a trip recently made into the in
terror of that country to the Coffee
mountains. The journey was made in
hammocks carried on the shoulders Of
native boys, which was the only safe
mode Of travel. Mr.. Lyon stopped at
Crozierville, and reports that about
rine-tenths of the commodities used by
the people are imported from the
United States, and that the inhabitants
showsA preference for American goods.
The minister states that he was inn
pressed with the native shrewdness
and business intelligence. The Coffee
mountains do not now compete in the
coffee trade as heretofore, owing to the
large cultivation Of that berry along
the coast and the improved methods
of raising and preparing it which are
In use there.
The Coffee mountains are covered
with rich timber, consisting of mahog-
any, oak, cedar, rosewood, mangrove,
ironwoou. poplar. burrwood and many
other varieties. The flora is interest
Ing and possesses many valuable me-
dicinal herbs. which can be utilized as
a medicine fol the diseases common to

70 CLEAN PLAGUE SPOTS.
Marine Hospital representatives Urg-
ing Southern Counties to De-
stroy Fever Districts.

The cleaning of Havana and Santia-
30 has practically left Mexico the
worst fever district . That country,
says the Buffalo Express, is never free
from the disease, though the indica-
tfons are that, as a result of the severe
epidemic of last year, a different story
may soon be told. With Mexico out of
the way-for it may be expected that
the Mexican government will carry out
the promises it recently made to rep
resentatives of the United States mar
Inc hospital service to destroy the
plague spots and enforce sanitary regu-
iations-the Central and South Ameri-
can countries are left to deal with
Some of the latter have said within a
year that they would clean their ports
but such statements cannot be relied
upon.
1t is for this reason that the sanitary
work which the United States will be
obliged to do along the canal strip
Will have more beneficial results than
simply making the district a healthy
place to live in. The influence OF that
work will be felt In Central and South
America, and it unquestionably will
spur the negligent governments to do
their share in preventing epidemics-
This phase OF the canal question has'
attracted little attention. but 1t is OF

and play games at all of the large
cities visited, which will include cities
of Australia and Europe and possibly
Asia. The start will be made from
Chicago about October 10. From here
the teams will travel west. Stops may
be made at Kansas City, Omaha and
Denver, but San Francisco will be the
western goal. From San Francisco the
teams will go to Honolulu, and then to
Australia. The direct route of travel
after the stop in Australia has not been
determined, but it is probablF'hat be-
fore they return the cubs and giants
will have played in almost every Eu-
ropean city of any consequence and in
some parts of Africa and Asia. Ten
men from each team will comprise the
list of players. In addition to these
McGraw, Sc Brush, Hart and sew
eral baseball officials will make the
journey. Most of the men are enthu-
siastic over the plans, as the trip will
offer them an excellent opportunity to
see the world" 1t is said that there
are a few of the players who do not
particularly favor the jaunt. These
are the married members of the teams
who do not wish to be away from their
families for SO long a time. The only
objection from the fans is that the
trip would be likely to make the ball
tossers grow stale as a result of too
much playing. Six months steady
work on the diamond. 1t is believed, is
about all a player al stand with
out losing some of the color of the
game. Selee believes there is no dan
ger of s~taleness, as the plans are not
to play every day. The trim has been
patterned after the successful tour that
A. G. Spalding her led In 1888 to cele-
brate Chicago's victory in the pennant
race. Those who represented Chicago
on that memorable trip were A. G. An
son, Mark Sullivan, Tommy" Burns,
John Tenney, Jimmy" Ryan, Fred
Pfeffer, Tom DAILY, bob" Petit. Eddy
Williamson and Marc Baldwin. The
all-American team which opposed them
consisted of Ward, Manning, Wood,
Earl, Crane, Healy, Carroll, Brown
and Fogarty.
