Special Revival Services.

The special services at the Colfax
church, conducted by Rev. W. ID.
Bowman, OF Winfield, assisted by
Singing Evangelist j. N. Jeffery, have
been very interesting, and will con-
tinue into next week. Several per-
sons have joined the church. and 1T is
expected that Others will do SO dur
ing the progress of the meeting.
Bro. Bowman is presenting the doc
trines of the Methodist church in
most interesting and forceful style,
and he couples them SO closely with
Scriptural teachings on the subject
their foundation is readily seen and
appreciated. His sermons seem also
to greatly interest the Baptist breth-
rem, as quite a number are present
among the Charge number who attend
the services.
A fine spirit of devotion and conse-
ration is preserved, and the substan-
tial unity among believing Christians
was never more manifest in the desire
for the salvation of souls. The sing
ing of Prof. Jeffery is most effective
and pleasing, and there is practically
no end to his ability to sing song
to suit each OCCASION. Everybody
is invited to attend these services.
The next four or five sermons viii
he the most interesting of all, from II
doctrinal and historical standpoint,
and it is hoped the large congrega-
tions will continue throughout the
services.

Trade and industrial developments
have been slightly more favorable, the
result being better tone in various
lines of trade and some enlargement Of
activity in spring demand from job
bers and from retailers. Helpful in
this respect has been the arrival of
better weather conditions, the advance
of the seasons trade toward an early
Easter, large shipments of grain to
market, attracted by high prices, the
placing of some business in iron and
steel induced by lower prices and the
resumption of building operations at
many cities after the winter shut

HUGE COUP IN COFFEE.
one-Third of Worlds Supply of
Beverage in New York.

Nearly one third of all the coffee in
the world is in New York to-day. The
vast Warehouses that line the harbor's
edge are jammed high with millions of
ba gs- hundreds of thousands of tons.
4 dozen great steamers, coffee laden
10 the PlimsolI mark, are blowing their
way noIthward through the 5000 miles
of dark ocean that stretches between
the coffee coast of Brazil-away south
of 1.-The line" at the other side OF the
world-and Sandy Hook.
At Rio and Santos half dozen more
steamers are loading hurriedy with
coffee for New York. In Havre and
Hamburg and Antwerp. too, there is
great activity along the coffee docks
and in the huge warehouses where the
worlds reserve supply OF Americas ia
vorite breakfast beverage is stored.
Everything is being got in readiness
to fill ship after ship and send them
hurrying across the Atlantic to New
York with still more coffee.
All this is because of the belief
among the great coffee merchantS and
the great coffee gamblers of the world
that the United States Congress will
put a tax on this fragrant berry that
hitherto has entered this country free
of duty Millions of dollars tremble in
the balance on the outcome. There are
nearly 100000 bags of coffee in stor-
age in New York and on the sea bound
hither. If duty of cents pound
is decided upon It is quite possible that
the quality will be increased to 1900
600 bags. A bag of coffee weighs 132
pounds. Seven and half million bags
would weigh nearly billion pounds
990.000,000 to be exact, or 445,000 tons.
The saving in duty on this tremendous
amount of coffee, if it were all landed
here before the new tariff went into
effect, would be $39,6O0,000.
