War Department and a Penny Fund

The broad hint by the War Depart
ment that it does not favor the pro-
curing OF fund of S25o,ooo through
the collection OF pennies from school
children to help defray the cost OF
raising the Maine should put all end
to such plan, the promoters of which
have gone 50 far as to write to the
President and to governors of the
States, asking cooperation.
The War Department points out that
even were such fund raised, it could
not be accepted without a special act
of Congress, which is expected to pro-
vide sufficient funds at its coming ses-
sion to complete the work in Havana
Harbor. The department has done well
to frown upon the scheme, which is of a
kind that all school boards should sup
press.

dreamed of in previous reigns.
Noon is the favored hour for giving
audiences to the prime minister, to the
diferene secretaries of state. to the heads
of the army and nav. to foreign diplo-
mats. and to others who have the right
of entree to the royal presence. King
George makes 1t a rule that all who de-
sire an audience should intimate as much
at least eighteen hours previously, in
dicating the matters they desire to bring
under his notice. The sole exception to
this is made in the case of Mr.. Asquith,
whom the King has received upon sew
eral occasions without any previous
notice.
The royal luncheon is served between
80 and o'clock. The provisional menu
for this meal Is submitted to the King
and Queen earlier in theNday, and they
Indicate the dishes they desire to be
served. The afternoon when, the KING
is in town usually is devoted either TO
visiting various pieces OF interest In
London or to public duties. The Queen
as a rule accompanies his majesty upon
these occasions. Their custom is to re-
turn to the palace about 5 o'clock, when
they find tea awaiting them in the hand
some tapestry room. To this several
members Of the household In attendance
are usually invited. and pleasant haif
hour or so is thus spent. The King then
returns to his affairs of state and goes
through the matter that have been dealt
with by his secretaries in his absence.
Dinner is now served much earlier than
was the case in the last reign, and 1t Is
usually upon the table at O'Clock or
even earlier IL the Queen desires 10 visit
a theater. 1t Is quite simple meal
than four or five courses. Both the. King
and the Queen live extremely plainly,

Coffee prices went soaring Nov. /,

Coffees selling for 90 cents until re-
Gently are now selling for rs cents,
and those that retailed for % cents are
now selling at 30 cents. This, with the
increase during the last ye4r makes
the retail price of coffee 10 cents more
on the pound than year ago.
Coffee went up cents on the pound
three days before Nov. ], at which
time it was understood that a big
rooster in New York bought In 100, :
600 bags, which was some indication
that the price was going to advance
more within a short while. Sure
enough the price went up cents more
just three days later.
1t Is believed this is due to a corner

dealers who have control of the local
markets In Rio Janeiro, the leading
city in that country.
