In European countries coffee eon-
xumpttnn has had a normal develop
ment, keeping pace with the produc
tion. The heavy duties that aw* levied
upon coffee tn France. Italy, Austria
and Germany give rise to adulteration.
Mr. Laeerda, a celebrated expert, cal
culate* that a cup of coffee require* V>
gram* or roasted coffee taking a cup of
coffee dally, each Individual would con
sume during three hrndred nnd st|ty
five days of the year to pounds of
roasted eoffee; to this should be added
10 per cent, which answers to the toss
of weight suffered In roasting, raising
the consumption tb 22 pounds annual
ly per capita, that Is those who drink a
cup of coffee dally.
Counting the population of England.
Franc*, Germany. Austria, Italy, Hol
land. Belgium, Norway, and Sweden,
and Sweden, and the United States at
300.000,000. It Is seen that If only one
fourth of these people drink coffee, ta
k*n at the rate of one cup per day, It
would amount to 1,600.000,000 pounds
per annum, while, as before stated, the
total consumption In 1891 was estima
ted at only 1,684,000.000 pounds. This
leaves out the consumption of other
countries and the considerable home
consumption of Brazil.
While tho Increase In production has
been stupendous, the Increase In con
sumption has been quite as remarkable.
The mean annual consumption for the
three decodes ended with 1890 was:
1870. 6,000.000,000 bags (792,000,000
pounds); 1880, 10,000.00 b hags (1,320.-
000,000 pounds); 1890, and up to 1897,
11,000,000,000 bags (1,468,000,000 to 1,-
481,040,000 pounds), the these figures
were further stated to be the minimum
requirements. In the quarter of a
century from 1870 to 1895 the demands
of the consuming markets had doubled.
The consumption would seem to bo
keeping pace with production, and at
tention is called to the fact that dur
ing the first six months of 1897 the
consumption reached 6,113,283 bags
(806,953,336 pounds). This bears out
the statement of the minister of fi
nance In his last report that the
amount of eoffee required by the world
*vas about 12,500,000 bags (1,650,000,-
000 pounds). ,
GORDON AND THK REUNION.
Tbe precarious condition of General
John B. Gordon's health is a source of
great anxiety to his many devoted
fricikfls and comrades.
It Ts hoped that he will be entirely
restored to health In time to preside
over the glorious reunion of tho boys
who wore the gray to be held in At
lanta for four days, beginning next
Wednesday.
General Gordon holds a warm place
in the hearts of his countrymen. His
gallantry in war, where he was “the
right ami of Lee,” his soldierly bcar-

Tbe memory of that twrolc conflict
la a legary which tba American people
will never aurrender. They are willing
[to drink from tbe same canteen with
tbe boys from Massachusetts and to
send each gallant old war horse* ns
Wheeler to teach the amateurs the
meaning of patience, perseverence and
courage, but they will never forget
that other conflict whose history Is
written tn the blood of civil strife.
Augusta, we are glad to say. will be
well represented tn Atlanta next week
and we feel sure that the entire occa
sion will be a great success.
THI CIVIC LIAOUS
We are glad to note the activity re
cently displayed by the Civic League.
It was, It appears, neither dead nor
sleeping, but has merely been prepar
ing for a more vigorous campaign In
the Interest of a cleaner and more
beautiful city than ever before.
The leaders In this movement have
aroused a general Interest among the
people. They have quickened citizen
pride until now the very children are
imbued with the Idea that all should
cooperate and make Augusta a model
city.
The Civic League has a two-fold pur
pose In view—the one aesthetic and
the other strictly practical. In the
first place It seeks to secure the en
forcement of sanitary regulations,
keeping the streets and drains whole
some and clean.
That In Itself Is a purpose which
should commend It to all who take a
pride In the elty.
But over and beyond that It seeks
to beeutffy and adorn the city In ev
ery possible way. There Is no place
in the United States with better nat
ural advantages than Augusta. Let
them be Improved by all that art aud
skill con suggest and when th* work Is
done the whole community will rise
up and call the Civic League bleesed.
The rear-end collision Is in rivalry
with Spanish bullets and fever In kill
ing off American troops,
Lieut. Stanford E. Moses, whose »er
vices as an Interpreter are in demand
at Santiago, is a Georgia boy, and one
of the brightest ever sent from the
state.
It is persistently reported that the
four Spanish prisoners reported by Ed
itor Hearst to have been turned over
tq tbe Cubans and beheaded really met
that fate, in spite of Shatter's denial.
Tfitee should be an immediate Investi
gation, for tbe act, if true, is the foul
est blot on

Again Nellie blushed. A year before
Mr. had been the groomsman ap.

the few hours they ted spent together
he had found time for the pretty
speeches, spoken with low, lingering ac

at hi* name proved unforgottesi. Borne,

“Very pleasant lo hear." So It seemed,
as day followed day and Dennis Doatia
hovered llhe a shadow at her side. He
so well knew their magic, could throw
Into his eyes Ihe Are which seemed
soul-lit. or Into his voice meaning,
which, If counterfeit, defied detection;
and slowly but surely tbe total net wss
woven in which the girl was to yield
up her plighted word. Jack read the
letters which still came to him from h 'r
hand with a sinking at Ms honest heart
and a paling of his ruddy cheek, and he
waited, knowing the blow must fall,
waited her kindly words, the while tell
ing her nothing of what love's Intuition
had tuught him. but leaving her hands
free and unfettered to strike the blow
when she would. He had thought he
had steeled himself to bear It, llttlo
knowing of the hope which all the
while had burned with Its faint Homo,
until It suddenly went out, extinguished
by certainty, leaving him to grope In
a blackness so dense that for a time
not even God’s light could penertate.
“How shall I tell you,” she wrote,
"that the girl who parted from you un
der the light of the'moon, who so defi
antly laughed ftt your foolish presenti

Jack. If that night you had told me I
could cau<e your heart such pain, I
would have scorned even the thought.
Yet I dare write the words, ‘forgive me.’
I dare hope In time you may forget me.
I have broken my vows to you. I have
pledged them to nnother. The gilded

It Is my own choice. It is as you said.
The glare nnd glitter haa been more
