Sunday. Standing uearthe front
pews-he was not permitted to
take the pulpit--he talked for
half an hour in such a way that
the congregation forgot itself,
him and his past in the words he
uttered. From that time for.
ward he remained before the
people and his vow in temper
ance was kept.
In November, 1872, Sam Jones,
then % years old, joined the
North Georgia Methodist con
ference. then in session at At
lanta. After eight years of pas
toral work in the conference,
he was made agent for the North
Georgia Methodist orphans
home. From this work he re-
signed to become travelling
evangelist. This was the be-
ginning of his greatest useful
hess and his deepest influence.

Not Such a Bad World.

In the first four or five days
after the San Fracisco fire, when
people could get no money from
the banks, many applied to the
railroads for tickets on the prom
Use to pay when they reached
their destination, or when they
could. They gave written prom
Uses and received tickets to all
points in and out of the state.
The officials took these promises
to pay to an amount aggregatine
100000 from nearly 1000 per-
sons. 1t is announced that with.
in five months of the disaster nc
less than $53, 900, or ninth-tenth'
of the full amount, has been paid
by remittance from the refugees
to whom credit had been extend
ed. Much of this came from
grateful sufferers who had moi
even asked to sign a promise to
pay.--New York Tribune.

Why Cypress Wood Sinks.

Southern lumbermen take a
great delight in a story of GER
tain scientific gentlemen who
were sent by the government at
Washington to study the growth
and uses of the bald cypress at a
time when cypress lumber was
comparatively new to the market.
They went direct to large camp,
presented credentials to the SUI
perintendent and watched with
minute care the processes of cut
ting the timber and floating ii
down stream.
Cypress is a light, spongy wood
that grows in swamps and alb.
serbs water readily.The scien,
tifie gentlemen requested the su'
perintendent to throw'swne logs
into the river separate from the
main RATS and followed their
progress down stream in boat
After floating south for some dis.
lance the logs with one accord
sank. Much surprised, the scien.
tific gentlemen returned ard fol
lowed another consignment. The
phenomenon was repeated; at
certain distance from the CAM
all the logs sank.
The gentlemen from Washing
ton, being very scientific, die
net think to question the inlet
tered superintendent about the
power of cypress to become wa
terlogged, but after numerous
observations and much compar
ing of notes reported to thei
department. the startling discov
cry that cypress floated north 0
a certain parallel Of latitude ant
south of it Invariably sank. o
the cause they were not yet Ger
tain, but hazarded the sugges
tion that it might lie in the rota
ry motion of the earth, increas
ing in speed as the logs Approach

Good Values Shown
Arizona Mines Prosperous

There is not a mining camp in Ari-
zona that does not show more activity
this summer than in years past, says
the Arizona Review. There is not a
mining town that has not been visited
by more representatives Of outside cap
ital during the past six months than in
any other twelve months I'm the history
of the territory. Added to this, more
sales OF mineral land have been made

money and G. C. Arnold is the presi-
dent of the company. The company will
install a stamp mill"
Nuggets Of News
That Yuma county contains untold
mineral wealth is being more clearly
shown as time goes on. The recent dis
covery of Felix Mathew, two miles
north of the King of Arizona mines,
is from all reports, all that was an
ticipated. and has resulted in a small
mining boom in that section which bids
fair to eclipse all past booms in Yuma
county.
The construction of the longest aerial
tramway in Mexico has been started
by the San Toy company. 1t will con-
meet the company's mines at Santa
Eulalia with the Mexican Central rail-
way. All the material is on the ground
and 1t is hoped to have the tramway
in operation by the latter part Of No
vember. 1t is understood that Charles
M. Schwab is heavily interested in the
company.
c. e. Finney, vice president and gem
eral manager of the Arizona Smelling
company. states that the new blast fur
mace at the Humboldt smelling plant is,
with the exception OF a few finishing
touches, almost ready to blow In and
will be started within the next ten
days.

MAKES S75,OOO,000 LOAN;
DRINKERS MUST PAY
VaIorization Bill Binds Planters to
Turn Over All Brown Beans to
the rnment-America
Will Pay the Fiddler

Los Angeles dwellers and Americans
in general must pay more for theil
coffee because Brazil so DEGREES.
Local coffee importers fear that there
will be a general advance in all grades
of coffee within the next few days
with the possible exception of those
grades that sell for more than 80 cents
the pound retail. In fact, advances
have been made already in the whole
sale price that make the retailers sell
the goods at a much smaller profit
than a few weeks ago.
The fact that Brazil produces from
20 to rs per cent of the worlds coffee
supply and that Brazil is about to
take over all the coffee production that
is exported, and make a profit on the
commodity by raising the price, is to
effect every consumer of the cheering
nut brown beverage.
1t has been claimed for several years
by the Brazilian coffee growers that
their plantations We're not making
money The result was that hard
times have been felt in Brazil, and
there is a general stringency in the
money market.
Government Takes Hand
To relieve this stringency the Bra
Zllldu government mas drafted a Dill
called the valorization bill, by which
the government is to negotiate a loan
of $75,0O0,0OO for the purpose of taking
over all of the coffee produced in the
country and exporting it, at a profit,
thus increasing the governmental rev.
enues.
By this step it is claimed that the
planters will have an absolutely cer-
tain market for their goods, and that
they can make more money than they
could do if they were to compete
against each other.
A committee of European financiers
is now in Brazil negotiating with the
representatives for the loan, and it is
understood that these negotiations are
progressing rapidly and will soon be
consummated and the money turned
over to the government. The govern
ment will thus have a corner" on the
market, and can dictate terms to the
consumers all over the world
Three=Fourths Worlds Output
In view of the fact that Brazil ex-
ports three-fourths of the coffee used
in all the world, the value of this "cor-
ner" is obvious and the extremes
which the government may take in the
matter of forcing up the price of this
commodity cannot be foreseen.
In consequence of this, and in con-
sideration of the fact that through this

during this period than in many years,
anI there is no apparent prospect of a
change in these satisfying conditions,
but, on the contrary, all signs point to
even greater prosperity in the mining
industry, with its consequent benefit to
Arizona generally. The activity in Ari-
zona's chief industry is not confined to
any one particular section but is gem
eral throughout the territory, and is on
so large a scale that If persisted i'm will
mean great things for the common
wealth within the next few years. The
most gratifying aspect of the situa-
tion is the fact that outside capital is
coming in with such freedom, showing
conclusively that that part of the In
vestigating public that Is interested
In mining Is becoming alive to the fact
that Arizona offers as inviting a field
for operations as is to be found in the
country
viii Install Stamp Mill
The Union Pass mine of the San
Diego Gold Mining and Milling COM
pany at Kingman, Ariz., is a valuable
property. Superintendent j. M. Farley,
IN an interview at San Diego, stated.

years crop has been heavier than for
several years, the crops of the last
three years have been unusually light,
advances have already been noted by
the local importers.
The market has been exceedingly
unstable for the last three weeks, but
the general tendency has been toward
gradual increase in prices.
Advances Already Made
The first advance upon receipt of this
news from the South American repub-
lie was an advance of 1 Ia cents per
pound on green coffees, or a trif1e more
than l IL cents per pound for the
roasted article.
The market then declined 1-2 point
and advanced IA point. 1t then de-
clined 3-S point, making it about 5-S
point above the low, mark. N
The market during the first week in
September was turbulent, with fire.
quent advances and declines every
day, but finally settled to a figure
about IA of cent per pound above
the spring quotation.
1T is impossible to do business with
Brazil at this time" writes one of the
largest importers in the country to a
local patron for whom he makes direct
importationS. 1t is certain that we
must look for a basis of values that
will gradually carry the market up
about 13 to cents per pound above
the low price. Brazilian stocks have
almost absolute control of the situa-
tion and we can do nothing to break
this CONTROL"
While advances have not been made
in the local market, they are expected
daily. One dealer has purchased two

ruling before the market began to zig
gag, and is protecting his customers
with this stock until the market set
ties If the advance is permanent all
dealers will be compelled to raise
prices on popular coffees retailing at
from 20 to 80 cents the pound to 5
cents more than they are now going
for.
Law Binds Planters
The day the Brazilian loan is nego-
tiated the bill will become a law, and
no planter will be permitted to market
his coffee except to the government
Then the market is in the hands of the
government and prices can be fixed to
suit
The importance of raise of cents
a pound on general grades of coffee in
America is best realized when it is
stated that there are 100000 bags of
1870 pounds each, or total of 2,0SO, ,OOO.-
900 pounds of coffee used in this coun-
try every year. With an advance of
cents a pound on this enormous
amount of coffee the aggregate ad-
vance to the American people is S62,-
100000.
The fact that Mexico has begun the
extensive cultivation of coffee, and
that the Mexican product, which is a
high-grade coffee, is beginning to find
favor in this country, will have but
little effect on the general results, as
the amount of the brown berries i'm
ported into the country from the south
ern republic is infnitesimal as COM
pared with the enormous value re-
ceived from Brazil

CHILDREN OF THE AMERICAN
 REVOLUTION.

Although the weather was somewhat forbidding, nearly all the members were present In response to the roll call each mem Der gave q historic fact and this prov ed so interesting that it was voted to continue il in the future. At the last meeting it had been decided to raise the stun of $50 to send "a mountain boy in North Carolina to Marysville college fos u year.

OBITUARY NOTES,
Mrs. Stiles D. Woodruff Dead--Her
 Husband Seriously III.

Mrs. Elizabeth M. Woodruff, aged sixty-seven years, wife of Stiles D. Woodruff, the well-knoWn seed raiser, died at her home in Orange shortly aft CT 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after an illness of about four months with bronchitis.
 During her illness Mrs. Woodruff was attended by Dr. Pinney, of Derby, and up to about twenty-four hours ago hopes of her recovery were entertainec. Early on Wednesday the patient be- came gradually worse, and, despite every effort to save her life, she passed away yesterday with her entire family at her bedside.
 Mrs. Woodruff was daughter of Bryan Clark, of Orange, and she lived all her life in that town. She was married to Stiles D. Woodruff in Dr. ange just forty-three years ago, and there are four children as a result of the marriage-Frank c. and Watson S., both of whom are in the seed business with their father; Robert J., who is prosecuting attorney of the court or common pleas, and Miss Mary Wood ruff, who also resides at the family homestead.
 Mrs. Woodruff was well known all over the state and was a woman who was greatly loved by all She was a devout Christian and a regular attend nt at the Congregational church in Orange. She was greatly interested in missionary work and did all that was possible for its advaGeement.
 It will be with deep sorrow that Mrs. Woodruff's many friends will learn of her death.
 A particularly pathetic feature of this very sad occurrence Is the fact that Stiles D. Woodruff is himself very ill at the present time, and owing to the shock of his wife's death he may not recover.
 The funeral services will take place from her late residence in Orange on Saturday afternoon at three o'clock Relatives and friends are invited to att tend.
