CMGgnifcenA It is the coffee Of our beloved Parisl y

1t is interesting to hear the COM
ments of the French visitors from
Paris as they drink, for the first time,
the famous coffee of the old French
Market in New Orleans. Austrians
from Vienna also go into raptures
over it. Because only in Paris or
Vienna can be found the equal of this
world-renowned coffee. 1t is richly
aromatic, delightfully."- fragrant; so diff
ferent from ordinary American blends.

KILL ROCKFORD SALOONS
Trend of Sentiment in Upward of $50
Places Is in Favor of the
Grogshop.

Results of local option elections in
Illinois yesterday included several de-
cisive victories for the liquor inter-
ests.
Elections were held in upward of
$50 cities, towns and villages
throughout the state. The most not
able of these were at Galesburg, Mon
mouth, Marengo, Taylorville and Car
mi, where the vets reversed the pre-
vious situation. The Galesburg cleo
ton placed the city in the liquor col
umn after it had been dry for four
years.
The greatest victory for the drys
was at Rockford, where saloons were
voted out of existence after having
had two year lease of life.
GALESBURG WET AFTER YEARS.
Galesburg, ILL.,, April 3.-After
I four years of dry regime, Galesburg
returned to the wet column by 273
majority, the vets overturning a ma
| jority of over 800 of two years ago.
| The vote stood 2,607 to 2,334.
The vets had the advantage in get
ting the votes out, having secured
every livery rig in the city and most
of the automobiles. The drys relied
largely on donated rigs and the eff
forts of women who cooperated dur
ing the campaign actively. Prayer
meetings we're held during the day.
Up to late in the afternoon the drys
were confident of victory and were
surprised at the result. The cam
paign on both sides has been largely
by pamphlets distributed about the
city.
Both daily papers were against the
vets and so was the labor paper OF
the city. The total figures for the
candidates indicate that many neg
lected to vote on the question. 1t is
believed the result was largely due
to belief in the minds of many for
mer drys that too much liquor had
been sold by bootleggers, some drug
stores and doctors. Besides, the wets
promised to limit the number of sa.
looms to one for every thousand popu.
latiop and to adopt the strictest form
of regulation.

and Robert S. Miller, the Orato

first speaker of the evening, the toast
master among other remarks said
that the committee had showed great
judgment in placing Mr.. Dodds at
one end of the speakers table and Mr.
Award at the other end as each were
provided with hatchets he thought
discretion had been shown by placing
four men between the congressional
aspirants The POSTMASTER told the
story OF the man with the young son
who wanting to be assured he started
life in the right calling, put the child
in a room alone with Bible, a dol
lar and an apple, and closing the door
OF the room sufficiently long to give
the child opportunity to select his
choice, again entered with the under
standing that if the child had the BIZ
bic he was to enter the ministry, if
the apple he should become a farm
er, if the dollar merchant; Mr.
Smith said imagine the surprise OF
Mr.. Dodds' ancestor when he re
entered the room TO find Francis sit
ting on the Bible, eating the apple
and playing with the dollar. Mr..
Dodds' parent. according TO the
POSTMASTER, stood aghast and finally
said, Francis wants everything in
sight. we will make OF him lawyer
1t was eleven o'clock when Mr..
Dodds arose to respond to the toast,
Our National Congress- For thirty
minutes Mr.. Dodds held the close
attention OF his hearers while he in
detail told OF the work of the 61st
congress as viewed from personal ex-
periencc as a member of that body.
Mr. Dodds said the Republican party
never forgot pledge He stated the
fact that there was nothing in the
platform of the party relative to the
revision of the tariff downward. The
Payne tariff bill was a practical re-
vision of the Dingley bill downward;
OF the 2O54 items revised. 626 were
downward. 254 upward and 1850 un-
changed. The speaker said no one
claimed the Payne bill a perfect law
but like all others it was largely
matter of compromise Mr. Dodds
referred 10 the ship subsidy bill as
the only article in the platform not
kept. He briefly stated his reasons
for believing ships subsidized if nee
essary should be in operation be-
tween this country and South Amer
