Man, supplied with reasoning and dis
cerning powers, may improve his con
dition by the exercise of these faculties.
This can be applied with very good
effect in the purchase of Coffees and
Teas. A good cup of Coffee depends
not only on the making but the brand
of Coffee, the grade, the roasting and
preparation are very important factors.
We feel confident that we can meet all
those requirements. A delicious cup

A HOTEL PROPERTY AS A SITE I
It is Proposed to Combine a Hotel With a
Theatre Tho Site on Which the
Commercial Hotel Stands the
Desired Point.
Tliero have been rumors from time to time
of projects to orect an additional opora houso
in town, but each report has died out after
considerable discussion without any sub
stantial development making its appearance.
Another project is now heralded and it seems
to bo bettor founded and shows more color of
success than its predecessors.
Tho latest project is in tho hands of half
a dozen of tho most prominent and well-to
do residents, and ono of them is so cntliu.
siastic over it that ho is ready to mako an in
dividual contribution sullicicut to cover at
least 25 per cent, of the cost.
The project was thoroughly discussed Sat
urday night and it was decided to organize a
syndicate and push tho matter along so as t&
have tho new opera house ready for nest
fall. It is proposod to build on tho site at
present occupied by tho Commercial Hotel,
at the northwest corner of Main and Coal
streets. Tho plans in view aro to orect a
substantial brick structure which will con
tain both a tlicatro and a hotel. Tho latter
will have twenty-five rooms and tho base
ment will be fitted up as a billiard and pool
room, making a sweep from Main street to
Pear alley.
There has been somo hesitancy about es
tablishing a second tlicatro in town for tho
reason that the majority of the peoplo hao
feared that the two would not pay, but since
it has been learned that Mahanoy City is to
have another opera houso and C. D. Kaier,
who owns the old one, will help the erection
of the second, tho opinion bore is changed
and there is no doubt that this town will also
have two theatres.
During tho deliberations Saturday even
ing the Commercial Hotel property was ob
jected to as a site, but it was argued that its
location is not near as much out of the way
as appears at first glance. Whilo at tho
northern end of the town, it is only two
squares away from the central point and only
ono square further away from tho Lakeside
Railway terminus than the old theatre is.
IScsidcs this the property is located on Main
street aud tho Schuylkill Traction lino passes
tho door. Another meeting is to bo held by
tlio projectors before tho closo of the week.
