The Century for 1904.
The Century for 1904 promises t
wealth of reading and pictures tha
surpasses even the high standan
achieved during 1903. Perhaps mos
notable of all the strong features o
the volume will be Dr. S. Weir Mitch
ell's "The Youth of Washington,’
told In the form of an autobiography
It will be a daring and unlquo piece
of historical work, written as if H
were done by General Washing
ton himself, sitting down In Mt. Ver
non in his old age and recording
eolely for his own eye, the story o;
his youthful life.
Then there will be a series of arti
rles on “Italian Villas and Their Gar
dens," written by Edith Wharton and
illustrated, largely In color, by Max
field Parrish. Ernest Thompson Se
ton has prepared “Fable and Wood
myth.” brief papers in a new vein
the illustrations in the author’s mosl
fantastic and amusing style.
The artists whose work will appeal
in the Century for 1904 include the
best of tho day. It is not a questior
for any cultivated thinking man oi
woman today. Can I afford to take the
Century this year? The question L
rather, Can I afford not to take the
Century:

Coffee Unpopular in England.
All efforts to popularize coffee lr
England have failed, and the recorc
allows a steady decrease in the im
portation m the berry. In 1876 the 1m
portatlon amounted to 1,361,642 cwt.
and In 1806 this had decreased to 713,

the value was £2,644.380. Up to 1871
the importations showed a steady In

Of all labor disturbances with which
city police authorities have to cope,
i a street car strike is the most dreaded.
The passage of the vehicles through
the streets gives opporturity for the
sympathies of the strikers and the
hoodlum element actively to display
their antipathy toward a corporation
which they consider unfair. In the
was In charge of Gripman John Weath
erwax and Conductor William Johnson.
These men brought their train back,
but the car windows were broken, and
Weatherwax showed many bruises
which he had suffered from missiles
thrown by the crowd. These first two
trains had run slowly through crowds
of foot men, which blocked the street
at intervals, and behind caravans of
heavy wagons, whose drivers refused
to turn out of the car tracks. When
the crews got back into the barns they
refused to start out again, except un
der adequate police protection.
The third train out received the first
telling force of the violence of the
mob, which had been augmented by
many additions, and had collected at
several points along the route.
The crowd at Fortieth street had
been swelled until it almost block
aded the street, and Gripman
Michael Cochrane and Conductor
Joe Apple were compelled to fight
off the men who swarmed aboard
the cars. They fought their way
on south until they reached Fif
tieth street. At that point some
one uncoupled the grip from the
coach and Cochrane went on, leav
ing Apple behind.
Cochrane s escape was tempor
ary only, and when another mob
surrounded the grip he leaped to
the street and fled. Meanwhile
Apple had fared ill at the hands
of the crowd. He was dragged
from the car and beaten, and
when finally rescued by police, i
who were hurried to the scene, jfji
mob surrounded it. Frightened by
the show of violence, Waterhouse is
said to have abandoned the grip and
tancn to his heels. Braiey was struck
on the head with a stone and suffered
a scalp wound. The train was drawn
back to the barns by the wrecking
wagon.
The crew of the fifth train out suf
fered most severely. William Watson
was on the grip car and Conductor
Harlow Orton was In charge of the
trailer. The men had fought their way
through the mob at Fortieth street and
had run a gantlet of strike sympath
isers the entire distance to the south
ern terminus of the line, and were on
the return trip, when a mob surround
ed them at Forty-eighth street. It is
understood that a plug in the cable
I him most,” pursued the child. "He
was my chum.” “Ah! That makes it
very hard,” said Sir Henry. There
was a long pause and then the little
fellow asked earnestly: “Will you bo
my chum now?” So they swore eter
nal friendship.
Current Runs Ferryboat.
A ferry is plying across the Mis
souri river a short distance north of
St. Joseph, which is described as
something unique. It is not run by
wind, steam or electricity, but solely
by the force of the river's current. Its
proprietors call it a “trolley ferry.”
A steel cable is passed across the
stream over the boat. This cable
passes through the stationary pulleyR
on the deck. By means of these pul
leys and the cable the boat is held'so
that the current of the river strikes it
at an angle of about 45 degrees, and
strike at unicago the teamsters union,,
, while not openly supporting the strik-t
> ing gripmeu and conductors, were ac-;
i tive in their efforts to block the prog
ress of the ears and cause wrecks
• wherever possible. Few policemen as
signed to the unpleasant duty of es
corting the cars escape without
bruises more or less serious, for at
points along the line hand-to-hand
tignts with the unruly element are
, inevitable. The following account of
the first day’s happenings during the
strike at Chicago is typical:
When it was announced that the
I company Intended to operate cars,
i lines of union pickets were thrown out
at various points. The pickets used
i every effort to dissuade the loyal em
ployes from reporting for duty. At the
i same time a hoodlum element, whose
work is disavowed by the strikers, be
gan to gather along the more prom
inent crossings and undertook to
threaten the men who were goiug to
work.
The first train was taken out of the
barns at G:30 a. m. and started south
ward. Three hours later the two
cars, with broken windows and bat
tered sides, crept slowly back to the
barn entrance. As it forced its way
through a crowd of men and women
which blocked the street Gripman Mc
Mahon was shouting:
“Let me get this thing Into the
barns, boys. Then I’ll be with you."
The crowd opened the way and the
trailer passed through the doorway. It
hail taken the train nearly three hours
to make a trip which is scheduled at
thirty-six minutes’ running time un
der ordinary conditions. In these
three hours had been crowded scenes
or rioting, the wrecking of live trains,
and the injury of nearly every one of
the ten men who had essayed to as
sist the street oar company to continue
its service in spue of the strike.
Four other trains followed the first
from the barns at short intervals. Only
two of those were brought back by the
crews in whose charge they started
out. One was towed hack by a wreck
ing wagon, and another returned under
an escort of police. This ended the
attempts of the street car company to
move passenger trains, but the mail
trains passed over the line without in
terference.
The second train out of the barns
j was In a serious condition. His back
, was injured and be was taken to his
home.
the car from which Apple was taken
! was pushed forward by a mail train
I which followed, coupled to the grip in
charge of McFarland, and taken back
to tho barns in a wrecked condition.
I McFarland’s trip was far from a peace
| ful Journey. He was beset by a mob
j at Fifty-seventh street and Lake ave
nue. and was being hemmed in by the
I mob when Inspector Hunt of the Ildye
Park police went to his rescue. Mar
j shallng his men on either side of the
’ train, Inspector Hunt accompanied
the train back to tho barns at Thirty
eighth street. The return trip under
the police guard was slow' but devoid
ot any violence.
Joe Waterhouse was the gripman
oX the fourth train that started out,
j and James Hraley was the conductor
| on the trailer. This train got no far
ther than Fortieth street when the
Blot brought the train to a standstill
and left the men at the mercy of the
rioters.
“Watson ran nis train around to
Fiftieth street and then transferred to
the ambulance," is the way a picket
put It.
While a part of the mob swarmed
aboard the grip car and attacked Wat
son others climbed Into the coach and
seized Orton. Before the police could
interfere both men were severely in
jured. Watson's arm was so severely
injured that at first it was believed to
have been broken. Later examina
tion show no fracture, but the man
was badly bruised and cut. Men stand
ing on the fender of the car struck at
him, and when he was finally rescued
by the police he was bleeding from a
dozen wounds. Ho was taken to his
home suffering from four painful scalp
wounds.
The abandoned cars were then made
the object of the mob's vengeance, and
the windows and woodwork were brok
en and battered. For over an hour
the train lay on the track, and was
finally moved by a mail train. The
mail train pushed the disabled pas
senger train north to the Thirtieth
eighth street barns, under a guard of
police headed by Inspector Hunt and
Lieut. Walsh.
With the return of this car, the at
tempt of the railway company to op
erate passenger cars in Cottagi Grove
avenue ended for the day.
Six-Year-Old Chum of Irving.
When Sir Henry Irving was staying
lately at Manchester, England, the C
year-old son of William Mollison of
Sir Henry's company strayed into his
rooms one afternoon. Invited to make
himself at. home and take some re
freshment, he consumed a pear and a
bottle of lemonade with apparent sat
isfaction. Then, gazing steadfastly at
his host, he said: "I do miss Phil
May,” referring to the artist who
died recently. "So do we all,” said
Sir Henry, gravely. “Yes, but I miss

Advised Turtle Soup.
A noted dealer in paintings was
talking about the late George Innes,
the landscape painter.
"Innes entered my shop one day,”
he «aid, “as I was studying a very old
canvas. The varnish on this canvas
had chilled, and the figures had be
come shrunken. I called one of my
assistants and told him that the pic
ture had better be revarnished.
“ ‘We want to bring those figures
out,' I explained.
“ ‘All right, sir,’ said the young
man. ‘What varnish shall I use? Co
pal or mastic?’
“ ‘If you want to bring out the fig
ures,’ Innes interposed, 'use turtle
soup.’ "

About Our “Pennies.n
A cent is a little thing, but in the
aggregate it is mighty. We speak of
the "copper cent,” but it is not en
tirely copper. Its composition is f '»
per cent copper. 3 per cent tin and 3
per cent zinc. That alloy is in reality
bronze, and the official name of tho
cent is “bronze.” There used to be a
copper cent, but an act discontinuing
its coinage was passed in 1S57. For
seven years (1857-1S04) we had a
nickel cent, and up to 1857 a copper
half cent. No more cents r.-o to lie
made by the Philadelphia mint for at
least a year, unless a special order is
issued by the treasury, in the ia-t ^
five years 3,000,000,000 "pennies" have
been shipped for the mint to various
parts of tne country. Between July
1, 1902, and June 1, 1903, 89,000,000
bronze cents were coined. The total
number of cents coined since the
mints were established, In 1793, is 4.

la 181C and 1824.
AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.
A woman who has used Postirn
Food Coffee since It came upon tho
market eight years ago knows from
experience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and a steady brain.
Sha says: "At tho time Postum was
first put on the market I was suffer
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally I de
cided to take his advice and try Pos
tum and got a sample and had it care
fully prepared, finding it delicious to
tho taste. So I continued Its use and
very soon its beneficial effects con
vinced me of its value, for I got well
of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
"My husband had been drinking cof
fee all his life until it had affected
bis nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
g<>t him to make the change for tho |
Postum is so delicious. It certainly
worked wonders for him.
"We soon learned that Postum dees
not exhilarate or depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and hon
estly strengthens tho nerves and the
stomach. To mftko a long story short
cur entiro family have now used Pos
tum for eight years with completely
satisfying results as shown in our
fine condition of health, and we have
noticed a rather unexpected improve
ment In t rain and nerve power."
Name given by Postum Co., Battlo
Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow the use of Postum In
.place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner.
