Cogee was discovered in 1885 by a dervish named HadJi Omar, a native or the town of Mocha, hence the familiar name.
 Hadji Omar. lost in an Arabian des- ert, was dying of hunger, when he discovered some small, round berries. On trying to eat them he found to his disgust that they were extremely bit- ter.
 Then he tried roasting them and finally steeped few thus roasted in water. Naturally this was coffee, and, though of the worst description, so agreeable did HadJi Omar find 1t that as soon as he could make his way back to his native town he introduced thls new drink to the wise men of the cti.y So well pleased were they with it that the dervish was made a saint.

Miss Florencc Davis was here last season in me Piaver Maid and yesterday she won even greater triumphs than on her first visit. The play is one that nc one can afford to fail to witness ana company as on yesterday, one IS tne poorer for not having seen 1t.
 aaThe scene of The Player Maid IS laid in England in the times or l1avld Garrick and his management or the Drurv Lane theatre. While the plot >is intricate and has many surprising turns 1t has to do with Mistress Eiean- or Hallman and the Earl of Roxpury. The latter, to make 1t short, has spurnA ! ed rneetinr the actress. She takes the nlace of the Lady Dorothy HastinS nSs fo save her from a marriage with the earl, whom she has never seen. IL so ends that the earl falls madly in love with the actress and after -four acts of the most intense interest, all enos happily.
 'In the role of Nell Hallman Miss Davis has a role which runs the whole garnut of human passion and which is most trying on the talents of any ac- tress. Miss Davis is young; compared with older actresses she Is inexper- fenced, but she makes such a success of her role that any woman on the stage today would welcome the laurels that she really earned. Yesterday 1t both performances she secured curtain call after curtain call, which were not so much a tribute to her marked beau- ty and hor real grace as to the splen- did acting with which she captivated and completely won the hearts of all.
 Miss Davis was especially fortunate ir the selection of her leading man, Elliott Dexter, ,~who as the Earl of Roxbury made one of the most pleas- ing lovers who has been seen on the local stage. MT. Dexter seems at home in presenting the man of the court and his easy grace and excellent reading were a delight to all. Thise who saw MT.

 In "A wlfe's Secret" the emotion al drama which comes to the BiJou Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. with Wednesday matinee, there Is said to be combination of beautiful sentiment, humor and the pathos of Poe-the quaint character drawings of Dickens --combined with all the thrilling in- tErest of a Drury Lane melodrama.
 It Is everyday life of today, pure and simple, picturing real, living, breathing people, as we see them off the stage. There Is the beautiful, girl ish young wife, falsely accused through damaging circumstances, and driven from home by the husband she loves, living in poverty, denied the sight of her child; there is the husband, an upright, but uncompromising man; his maiden sister, canting. vindictive hyp- ocrite who urges him on to drive his girl wife away; the good. whole-souled old "nigger nanny" who accompanies the wife and comforts her In her hour of tribulation; the conscienceless knave whose forced attentions have been the cause Of the husbands suspicious, and who takes advantage of the wife's un- protected state to try to accomplish her downfall; her unprinctpled, unnatural father, a drunkard and criminal. who connlves with her traducer; the loyal little newsboy and brave policeman who befriend her, and so on through

4rbe ueir to the Hoorah.'


 t'The Heir to the Hoorah," the Amer fcan comedy by Paul Armstrong, VIII he seen at the Montgomery Ineatre Friday night.
 The play comes from the Hudson The atre, New York, where 1t had long and successful season, extending rom early Lent until the rose-petals blew away in mid-July, and later prli1aan' Igni engagements of four weeks at the Hol- lis Street Theatre, Boston and Powers Theatre, Chicago.
 The title which has a bit of mystery for the uninitiated, Is explained In the fact that the "Hoorah" is an immense iy rich gold mine and the Heir male Infant. Around the infant, hus- hand. wife, a mother-in-law, Japan ese valet, some miners, a cowpuncher, a widow and a maiden aunt MT. Arm strong has woven very merry story.
 Joe Lacy, a rough diamond of man and part owner of the Hoorah mine. has just married an Eastern society girl. Geraldine Kent. The marriage is one of convenience and has been arranged by scheming mother-in-iaw who has exacted e wedding settlement of a hundred thousand dollars. This kindly disposed dame by her continual criticisms of the miners crudities of speech and manner, and by her att tempted intrigue between her daughter ana a former Eastern sweetheart, has succeeded in separating the man and the girl. So. Joe leaves the new pal ace in the little mining town in charge of his wife and mother<in-law ana starts off to Europe. He returns to hear some stories of his wife and the old sweetheart, which, to his credit, he does not believe. But while the man and his wife are still at odds, baby is born which is toasted by the miners as "The Heir to the Hoorah." Of course the baby brings about a recon ciliation on its christening day when the friends of the father present 1t with "a cradle, one piece carved from the trunk of a redwood tree, by hands that need not have toiled."
 The scene of the christening brings a couple of other little romances to a happy issue also. The rich widow be- slows her heart, her hand and her mine on a Harvard man who went West
