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

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
of Coffee is a qqrtainty if you use

WU.a Rioting.
Philadelphia, Doo. 20. The street rail
way trouble broke, out nfresh yostenliiy,
but wm quickly quellud, unit eais urn
ngaln running as usual. While It lasted
several cars wcro stoned nnil their win
dows smashed, but nobody was hurt. The
difficulty occurred on Glrard avenue, the
ox-strlker.s charln? that tho division su
perintendent. In sending out cars, vio
lated tho company's agroemout of lion
day last by giving proferenco to tho now,
or non-union, help. Tho old employes got
together and afterwatchlng tho cars going
out for somo timo with Imported motor
men and conductors, started a revolt. Ob
structions wore placed on the tracks and
a mob of 10,000 peoplo quickly gathered
nud began to stono tho cars. A squad of
mounted pollco was called to tho scono,
and In a short time dispersed the mob.
Tho new nion wcro taken off tho cars and
traffic was resumed with tho regular men.
Tho Second and Third streets lino was
also In troubles for a llttlo while, but peace
was restored on both branches by tho com
pany agreolng to put tho old men back to
work.
About 3 o'clock In tho morning tho
stables attached to the rosldotico of John
Lowbor Welsh, president of tho Union
Traction company, In Germantown, wero
burned to tho ground, entailing a loss of
tSO,000. Tho bitter feeling existing against
Mr. Welsh becauso of his attltudo during
the strike leads to a general belief that tho
llro was of Incendiary origin. Mr. Welsh,
howovor, says bo does not think so. Ho
believes it was probably duo to tho caro
lossuess of a servant employed In tho sta
bles. The pollco aro Investigating tho
matter.
A significant feature of tho strlko is tho
excessive ball domanded for thoso arrested
for riot and the unusually harsh punish
ment inflicted upon rioters by Judgo Gor
don. Charles Kdwln Ludy, 23 years old,
called a Traction employo a "scab" and
threatened to fix him. Ho also throw a toy
torpedo, which struck a moterman on tho
hand, fell to tho ground and then ex
ploded. It did no damage, but Ludy was
sent to tho penitentiary for three years and
six months. Max Wilson, who was charged
with throwing three stones at a car and
swearing at tho crows, was sont up for
two years. Wilson vigorously asserted his
lnuoconco. Others wero held In bail rang
ing from $1,200 to tU.000 to Insure tholr ap
pearanco for trial.
Tho undue hasto with which tho grand
jury found Indictments against alleged
rioters Is shown In tho caso of Conductor
W. AW Wetzell, who was Indicted for "In
citing to riot" and held under $1,200 ball.
Owln! to tho fact that Wetzell's name
was misspelled In tho printed reports of
Ills arrest, and ho bad boon uuablo to com
munlcato with friends, his young wlfo be
came temporarily insano when ho failed to
roturu home. Wotzoll is now at liberty,
nud tho "caso" against him will no doubt
bo quashed. Wetzell was standing on
Broad street when tho police mado a dash
for tho crowd. An old woman had fallen
down and Wetzell endeavored to pick her
up. A special olllcor caught hold of him
and took him to tho central station as a
"rioter."
District Attorney Graham declares that
Presldont Mahon, of tho National Amal
gamated Association of Street Hallway
employes, nnd Chairman Laitz, of tho local
committee, havo been closely watched, but
thoy wore careful not to violate tho law.
Ho continued: "I havo heard 250 of tho
strike cases and tho majority of tho de
fendants wero small boys. As far as I
know not ono man or boy of tho hundreds
arrested carrlod a murderous woapon.
Thero was nothing known to this depart
ment to connect any of tho strlko loaders
with tho trouble"
When nsked to explain tho matter Pres
ident Mahon said:
"As I undrstaud it tho officials had
taken tho namos of all the regular men
for tho purpose of arranging their runs,
and on the Glrard aveiiuo and Willow
Grovo branches when tho first cars wont
out they wero manned with tho imported
bands to tho exclusion of tho association
men, It looked to the latter as though
bad faith was meant, nnd that tho company
was breaking away from tho lettor and
tho Intent of tho ngreomont. Iloports
wero also brought to me that similar
measures had been taken In some Instances
elsowhero.
"As It stands now tho troublo scorns to
bo over, tho Imported hands have been
withdrawn to a largo extent and tho cars
are running again on schedule tlmo."
