Coffee Market

New York. June 21.-The market for coffee futures opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points on con tinued steadiness in European and Bra gillian markets and on scattered buying which semed to be chiefly in the way of covering. Small receipts at the Brazilian ports were attributed partly to wet weather in the interior, probably helped the tone of the market which improved slightly during the middle of the day. Later realizing and lower late cables from Havre checked the advance and caused slight reactions from the best, with the close steady net 8 points lower to 5 points higher. Sales, 5l,5O0 bags.

"Macushla. The play itself is neither
here nor there; It is Chauneey olcott the
people go to see and hear. and so long
as he sings ballads of love and Ireland
what matters it il his play be called one
thing or another? He has had the same
plaudits here year after year, coming
first with one and then with another
piece in each of which he succeeds in
thwarting an English marplot and in re
storing the old estate to it's usefulness,
the while wedding with the fair girl he
loves who is always one of the people
and not Of the nobility. In this play he
weds the girl but starts for America
to win gold that he may fully restore
Duncannon. which has suffered much
through the neglect and extravagance
of his forbears among the Fitzgeralds
Before he starts he rides his own horse,
Maoushla in the big race and wins some
thing like $4,000 in wagers besides the
purse, with which he discharges the i'm
mediate debts and gets things in shape so
he can leave the estate in the care of an
overseer who has strict Instructions not
to collect penny OF rent from the tenant
farmers for three years at least All
of which adds greatly TO the popularity
Of the latest OF the Fitzgeralds. sir Brian,
and is heartily endorsed by many in
the audience, who can easily recall the

time when landlords In Ireland were ac-
tuated by no such impulses.
Mr. Olcott retains his power to charm
his admirers. both by his acting and his
singing. In his present character he Is
at the best in the last act, when his light
heartedness has fallen away from him
under the influence Of his prospective de-
parture for America, and he Is seriously
in earnest. In the only love scene in the
play, a very short one, he shows the
tenderness and sincerity Of affection that
marks the prince Of lovers His new
songs are wonderfully we'll taken by the
audience, and he In prodigal with his
encores. At the end of the second act
last night he responded to the impatient
demand of the audience, which would not
wait, and sang My Wild Irish Rose
after a short speech.
Miss Gail Kane, Mr.. olcott's leading
woman, is almost as popular with tho
audience as the star. She Is pretty, and
has a way about her that Is irresistible.
On the whole. Mr.. Olcott's company Is
we'll selected, and is giving him fine sup
port.

Peter Wind Dies
of Heart Disease

Peter H. Wind, one OF the vetAran con-
tractors and builders of Council Bluffs,
died yesterday morning at his home. 72s
Washington avenue, from heart disease
short time after he had arisen to be-
gin the usual days work
Mr.. Wind was 81 years OF age and for
more than forty years had been promi-
nent in the business affairs of the city.
For more than thirty years he had con-
Quoted planning mill and sash and door
factory on Thirteenth street between
Broadway and First avenue. His fac
tory furnished the mill work for the
greater part Of the building enterprises
in the city for more than a generation.
and as a contractor he undertook and
accomplished many large enterprises. A
few years ago he took his sons into the
business as partners and the factory has
been operated under the name of p. H.
Wind & Sons.
Mr.. Wind was born in Denmark on
December TO- 1874. His parents planned
professional life for him and began his
education for work as q teacher When
he was Is years old his preference for
mechanical pursuits became too strong
and he was allowed TO follow his bent
He received his first instructions in
woodworking in his native land, and
when he came to this country at the be-
ginning OF 1885 he was equipped with a
good foundation for a successful business
career. Two years later he was united
in marriage to Miss Mary Hansen in this
city.
In the years that followed Mr. wind
was foremost in all enterprises designed
for the upbuilding OF the city, liberal with
his money and time. He successfully re-
sisted the opportunities to go into poll
tics, with the exception Of one time, in
1900 when he was nominated on the re-
publican city ticket without his knowl-
edge ana elected almost without oppo-
sition as alderman from the Second
ward. Mr.. Wind is survived by his widow
and ten children three OF them sons and
seven daughters. Mr.. Wind had been
in comparatively good health until the
day OF his death. He had suffered q
slight indisposition for the last three
days. but had shown no symptoms OF the
fatal heart disease.
Mr.. Wind was very prominent in Ma
sonic circles and fraternal societies, in
GLIDING the Royal Arcanum, Modern
Woodmen and Ancient Order OF United

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

A society called the "Gideons. -
which is composed of Christian Com
mercial Travellers, has recently started
a crusade to place Bibles in the guest
rooms of all the hotels in the country.
Many thousands have been gladly
accepted by the managers of all classes
of hotels from the most fashionable
and expensive hostelries t. the one
night lodging houses.
In New York the Hotel Savoy re-
ceived a hundred Bibles, the Plaza 200
and the Hotel Astor 500.
Now, when they get ali the hotels in
the country supplied, 1 have another
suggestion for the Gideons, and that is
that they start a crusade to place
Bibles in our homes.
1 really think that everyone would
be astonished if a census could be
taken showing how many homes
houses I would say-aTe absolutely
without a Bible.
You see, the furniture dealers, who
advertise to fit out our young people
for housekeeping at the rate of forty
nine or ninety-eight dollars for four
rooms probably don't include Bibles
in that furnishing. AMI as for the
huge family Bible which used to be
such a common wedding present-well
how long since you've seen one at a
wedding?
But not all of the houses that lack
ninety eight dollars class. 1 was Wis
iting in a beautiful house the other
day, when some question of Bible his
tory arose.
We argued over it for few minutes
and then decided to look it up.
Whereupon the mistress of that beau
tifuI place came forward and actually
declared that there wasn't Bible in
the house.
am happy to say that she did have
the grace to be very much ashamed.
Family religion, it seems to me, is
fast dying out
The beautiful old custom of grace
before meat has become almost en-
tirely a thing of the past.
Family prayers are almost unkn own
even in the most avowedly Christian
homes.
Is the Bible to go out of the home,
too? Will we have to go to church
to read the Bible some day?
If you don't believe in the Bible
as an inspired book surely you do
want it as the most beautiful book of
moral precepts that has ever been
enunciated.
A step further-if you don't want
the Bible for either religious or moral
reasons. surely you can't afford not to
have one of the finest pieces of liter
allure in the English language, one of
the most magnificent collections of
prose and poetry ever compiled, in
your home?
My friend declared that she was go
ing to buy a Bible the very next day,
but fancy it will be safe to send the
Gideons to her when they start on
the home crusade.
Need [ send them to your home?
