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. '

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withdrawn; therefore, it is impossible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.

of Picquigny and Marquis of Dan
geau, died suddenly of heart failure

to a weak heart and the physicians
who were called to attend him .Thurs

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.

CHICACO, April 24.-A despatch
to the Record Herald from Alton, III.,
Tho Saltpottr Man.
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

Love Potions In the MiddU Ages.
In a lecture delivered before the As
sociation of Surgeons of Munich by
Professor Klein on the subject of nar
cotics the speaker said that the process
of reducing the sensibilities of patients
with a view to making operations
painless was known and practiced In
the middle ages. The narcotic was
known then as u "love potion," aud
recipes for compounding It have
3ome to us from our ancestors. Pro
fessor Klein Mil 11 that 'the story of
"Tristan und iKolile" howed that the
love potion was only n narcotic. Bish
op Theodonis of (horvlra wrote a pre
scription for a pal n destroyer In tho

um, morphine and liynscuiu. A med
