SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1908. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. I r 1 1 11111 BarriitoiCHall Is just pure Mocha and Java prepared in t new way. The cof fee berry is cut up (not ground) by knives of almost razor sharp ness into small uniform particles. Thus it is not.crushed, as by the old method of grinding, and the little oil cells remain unbroken. The essential oil (food product) cannot evaporate and is preserved indefinitely. This is one reason why a pound of Barrington Hall will make IS to 20 cups more of full strength coffee than will any coffee ground the old way; why it excels all other coffee in flavor and why it .will keep perfectly until used. ' But the main thing about Barr ington Hall Coffee is that it can be used without ill effect by those who find ordinary coffee injures them, because the yellow tannin bearing skin and dust (the only injurious properties of coffee) are removed by the "steel-cut" pro cess. A delicious coffee not a tasteless substitute. ' Wee, per pound, 40c POUND A. V. ALLEN Sole Agents LOCAL OPTION CON FERENCe FAILS SALOONMEN REFUSE TO AC CEPT TERMS SUGGESTED AND AGREEMENT IS NOT DRAWN, LET ALONE SUBMITTED.' The joint committees sent out from ' they recent conference of the Astoria Civic League and the Business Men's meeting, to iorniulate an agreement for the saloonmen to sign, in the in terests of the city's commerce and practical improvement, have been in joiu session and have labored to meet on common ground in this behalf, but failure has marked the effort for , its own, as the following report, sent in by the joint committee yesterday afternoon will illustrate: "Astoria, Ore-, April 24, 1)8. "To the Public: We, the joint committee appointed from the Busi ness Men and the Civic Improvement League of the City of Astoria met to draft the agreement in pursuance to the duty assigned to us, but before we had completed our work, were in formed that the petition in Precinct No. 7 was already tiled and that its circulators are not willing to have it withdrawn; therefore, it is impossible for us to fulfill the duty assigned to us and for that reason the committee adjourned sine die. "Respectfully submitted, "HERMAN. WISE, "F. C. CARNEY, "W. E. SCHIMPFF,"V "CONRAD L. OWEN, "ALBERT CARLSON, "R. M. GASTON." '.It was known before dark that the mission had failed, and there was no want of regret in the general expres sion made on the streets about the failure; nor was there any particular hesitancy in the frequent and forcible comment that one or more notable liquor agencies were at the bottom of the disagreement. ' 1 he terms presented tor the ac ceptance of the saloonmen were deemed to be moderate, reasonable, possible and effective, and that they were turned down, leaves but one conclusion, to-wit, that there is to be a wide-open fight for local option, with what result remains to be seen; but certainly an inopportune and un fortunate invasion that cannot but re act unfavorably upon the commercial prospects of the city as they stand at this time. The fact has leaked out that five of the six men on the joint committee, to-wit, Messrs. Herman Wise, F. J. Carney, Conrad L. Owens, Albert Carlson and R. M. Gaston, were a unit, for drafting the proposed agree ment upon the exact terms laid down by the League and Business people, but that Mr. Schimpff, who is man aging the Interests of the saloonmen, refused to sign or submit the terms to his 'colleagues, and therefore the agreement. was not drawn up at all; though, why such a commanding ma jority abandoned its right in the premise, has not yet been explained.

Jn the presence of his bride of less than three months, Emmanuel Theodore Her nard Maie de Albert dc Lundes d'Alilly, ninth Duke of Chaulnes and of Picquigny and Marquis of Dan geau, died suddenly of heart failure at 11 o'clock Thursday night in his apartments at the Hotel Langham. The Duke for years has been subject to a weak heart and the physicians who were called to attend him .Thurs day night officially gave the cause of death as embolism of the heart. Since his arrival here a month ago the Duke consulted physicians in an effort to obtain relief. Yesterday evening the Duke and Duchess were both in the best of spirits and when they returned f-om a drive they dined in tbeir private apartments. An hour later the Duke complained of illness and retired. A fe,w moments later he gasped for breath and immediately lost con sciousness. 'The Duchess was seized with a panic and screamed for aid and the maid who responded went for the doctors. The most powerful stimulants were ineffective and the Duke died in the Duchess' arms.

The saltpeter mnu of the first balf of the seventeenth century was bated even more. If that be possible, than the "window ytt'iicr" of those more recent days when light was subject to heavy filiation. Before the Importation of saltpeter from abroad as an Important Ingredient In the manufacture of gunpowder-it was a crown monopoly, and agents, popularly known as saltpeter men, were sent all over the country to seek for it In stables, pigeon cots, pig sties and Indeed In almost all other places the soil of which was supposed to be Impregnated with animal matter. The Injury these men did and the Irri tation they caused by digging up floors and pulling down fences were great. No householder was free from their visits, which were rendered especially odious from their being empowered to impress carts and horses for the pur pose of carrying away the mineral and the utensils employed In Its manufac ture. This galling domestic tyranny though, of course, not to be compared with things Of far greater moment was no doubt one of the factors in the national Irritation which made the civil war possible. The monopoly was put an end to by parliament In 1050. Lon don Athenaeum.

Love Potions In the MiddU Ages.
