BY DIVERS HANDS

"Evviva," said the Pope.
"Evviva," said the Pope's nephew.
"Evviva," said the Pope's Nuncio.

And "evviva," echoed all the
snufif lovers of the sixteenth, the
seventeenth, and the eighteenth
centuries.

The Pope of the present story was
that Pius IV. who left so pleasant a
memory behind him; who was so
kindly, so genial and helpful, and
whom history has accordingly al-
most forgotten .

One morning in December, 1561,

the Pope, having returned from a

brisk constitutional on the Pincio,

was seated in the morning room of

the Vatican in converse with his

nephew, Cardinal Carlo Borromeo,

and Filippo Neri, the friend of the

latter. If you are a Roman Catholic

you will not require to be told that

these two who have just been named
are among the greatest and the best
beloved of all the saints.

It is to the credit of Pius IV that
during the lifetime of these two he
was more in their society than in
thesociety of any other of his friends.
Three more congenial spirits never
met in the Vatican.

Just what the subject of conversa-
tion had been up to a certain point
on the morning of December 1561 of
which I am speaking, the records do
not say, for they begin with the ar-
rival at the Vatican on that morning
of Cardinal Prosper Santa Croce,
the Papal Nuncio at Paris, who had
just arrived from France. Santa
Croce at Paris had been the intimate
friend of his fellow diplomat Jean
Nicot, and had brought with him to
Rome a box of snufif as well as the
usual compliments of the Court of
France to His Holiness. The wind
has blown the compliments allaway.
Not so the snufif. From many a
pair of nostrils, rather, has it blown
the wind away.

Here the Pope sneezed again, and
again exclaimed "Evviva."

What to Do to Be Saved,

A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.

VI.

The following cheerful little story
is very germane to our subject:

On June 21, the well known ci
gar manufacturing firm of H . Traiser
& Co . of Boston, Mass . gave an
outing to its one thousand employes
at Centennial Grove, Essex, Mass.,
to commemorate the fiftieth anni
versary of the establishment of its
business.

H Traiser & Co. are today
manufacturing more cigars than
ever, and they have been for over
twenty five years one of the leaders
of that industry in New England.
They get what they ask for their
goods, they cater largely to the
home trade and their future is full
of confident to-morrows.

In June, 1852, the late Henry
Traiser began business as the pro
prietor of a retail cigar store at 1 15
Court street, Boston. He himself
manufactured the cigars whicli he
sold over his counters. In this
year of the fiftieth anniversary of
the business which he founded, the
firm occupies, as a factory, the
three buildings, 116 Merrimac
street, 34 Pitts street and 121 Court
street. In the last mentioned the
building is a modern retail cigar
store. The present members of the
firm of H . Traiser & Co. , are Charles
H. Traiser and Richard E.Trdser,
the former a son, and the latter a
nephew of the late Henry Traiser.

The weather in Boston on June
21, was delightful. Many invited
guests from New York city and
elsewhere, went to Essex especially

to enjoy the jollity of the occasion,
among them being Mr. Sigmund
Rosenwald, Mr Sam Seymour and
Mr Fritz Jacoby.

Not once during the whole day
were any of the matters which form
the subject of this series of articles
mentioned. Those who went to
the outing went for the sake of en
joying themselves, and there weie
no nightmares either before or after
the picnic.

The following was iht i. rogramme
of the sports of the day :

Havana Stocks in New York.

New York, June 27, 1902.
Dear Medicine Man:

Can you give us an estimate of the
amount of Havana tobacco carried
in stock by New York dealers?

p. R. & CO.

The Answer.

A safe estimate is about 60,000
bales.
Of filler leaf there was in bonded

warehouses on May i, 1902, a total
of 16,092.980 pounds, equivalent
to 1 60, oco bales of 100 pounds each.
This tobacco was in bonded ware-
houses at different ports all over
the United States. The total an-
nual consumption of filler tobacco
in the United States, is about i6o,-
000 bales, and a fair estimate of the
amount carried in stock by New
York handlers is about 60,000 bales.

Ceremonial Use of the Cigar
by the Ancient Mayas. \
In answer to an inquiry from one
who signs himself "A Student of
the Cigar," I would say that the
author of a most interesting book
on prehistoric Yucatan is Dr. Au-
gustus le Plongeon. The Mayas
were the aboriginal inhabitants of
this fertile region.

Dr. Ic Plongeon has translated
from the Popol Vuh, or sacred book
of the Quiches, who were a branch
of the Maya nation, a most inter-
esting account of the rites of initia-
tion in the sacred mysteries of that
people, and the account is valua-
ble, from the point of view of mem-
bers of the cigar trade, because a
cigar — a cigar in Yucatan thou- i
sands of years ago — figures con- i
spicuously in it. Dr. le Plongeon 's I
translation reads as follows: I

The applicants for initiation to
the mysteries were made to cross I
two rivers, one of mud, the other
of blood, before they reached the

four roads that led to the place
where the priests awaited them.
The crossing of these rivers was
full of dangers that were to be
avoided. Then they had to journey
along the four roads, the white, the
red, the green and the black, to
where a council of twelve veiled
priests, and a wooden statue, dressed
and wearing raiment as the priests,
awaited them. When in the pres
ence of the council they were told
to salute the king, and the wooden
statue was pointed out to them
This was in order to try their dis-
cernment. Then they had to salute
each individual, giving his name or
title without being told, after which
they were asked to sit down on a
certain seat If, forgetting the
respect due to the august assembly,
they sat as invited, they soon had
reason to regret their want of good
breeding, for the seat, made of stone,
was burning hot.

Having modestly declined the
invitation, they were conducted to
the "darkhouse," where they had
to pass the night and submit to the
second trial. Guards were placed
all around to prevent the candidates
holding intercourse with the outer
world. Then a lighted torch of
pine wood and a cigar were given
to each. These were not to be ex
tlnguished; still they had to be
returned whole at sunrise when the
officer of the house came to demand
thtm. Woe to him who allowed
his torch and cigar to get consumed ,
for terrible chastisement and death
hen awaited him.

Having passed through this
-ecoud trial successfully, the third
was to be suflfered in the "house of
spears," where still more severe
trials awaited them. Among other
things they had to defend them-
selves during the whole of the night
against the attacks of the best
spearsmen selected for the purpose,
one for each candidate. Coming
out victorious at dawn, they were
judged worthy of the fourth trial.

This consisted of being shut for
a whole night in the "ice house,"
where the cold was intense. They
had to prevent themselves from
being overcome by the cold and
freezing to death.

The fifth ordeal was no less terri
ble, and consisted in passing a night
in company with wild tigers in the
"tiger house," exposed to be torn
to pieces or devoured alive by the
ferocious animals.

Emerging safe from the den, they
had to submit to their sixth trial
in the "fiery house." This was a

burning furnace where they had to
remain from sunset to sunrise.

Coming out unscorched. they
were ready for the seventh said to
be the most severe of all, in the
"house of bats ' ' The sacred book
tells us that it was the house of
Camazotz, the god of the bats, full
of death-dealing weapons, where
the god himself coming from on
high appeared to the candidates
and beheaded themif off their guard.

Uvidence Wanted Against
the A, T. Co.

An executive session of the New
York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade,
was held in the Board's rooms at
93 Wall street, at two o'clock on
the afternoon of June 24.

The meeting was held in com-
pliance with the following letter
from Charles Fox, Secretary of the
National Cigar Leaf Tobacco As-
sociation:

New York, June 19, 1902.

Mr. Jesse Mayer, Secretary
The Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade of the
City of New York, New York City.

Dear Sir: — In accordance with
the resolutions adopted at the an-
nual convention of the National
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association,
in reference to a corporation known
as the American Cigar Company,
we have forwarded a copy of the
said resolutions to the Attorney-
General of the United States, whose
acknowledgement we have, and
who promises that the Department
of Justice will give the matter its
attention.

At his request we called upon the
U. S District Attorney of this city,
placing before him such informa-
tion and evidence as we had, but
which however, is not sufficient to
enable him to begin any action, and
as he has no funds upon which he
can draw for the purpose of receiv-
ing the necessary evidence, it rests
with the trade to furnish same.

In view of this condition we call
upon you to place the matter before
your board, and request its members
to use their personal endeavor to
secure any information or evidence
bearing upon the subject, and for-
ward same to us as promptly as
possible.

As this matter is of vital impor-
tance to the whole trade, we hope
you will give it your prompt at-
tention. Very truly yours,

Charles Fox, Sec'y.
By order of the President.

A like letter has been sent by Mr.
Fox to the Secretary of every local
Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade in the
United States.

At the meeting of the New York
Board on March 24, the trustees
discussed the matter and decided
that it should be presented at an-
other session of the Board of Trustees
to be held on July i .

Bronzes on Duke^s Farm.

Works of Art Ordered in Paris are Being Put in Place

at Somerville, N. J.

The Original

While in Europe during the sum-
mer and fall of last year, Mr. James
B. Duke commissioned the famous
Val d'Osne bronze foundry of Paris
to execute for him a number of
bronzes for his place at Somerville,
N.J.

Mr. Duke's estate at Somerville
embraces about fourteen hundred
acres. It is unpretentiously called
"Duke's Farm." It is to all in
tents and purposes a public park
maintained at Mr. Duke's expense,
for the grounds are open, the year
round, to all persons willing to con-
form to the rules.

Last May the bronzes arrived
from Paris. Including the fountain
and vases, large and small, there
arc 32 pieces. The most important
of these is the fountain. As may
be seen from the picture printed
with this article, two laughing
nymphs are pouring water from
ewers into a basin, from which it
gushes in numerous sprays into a
larger basin of stone.

The fountain is but a short walk
from Mr. Duke's house, a glimpse
of which, embowered in trees,
several of which are over one hun
dred years old, may be had from
the picture printed herewith. The
house, which is new, stands on the
site of the old Veghte homestead.
The Veghte farm was purchased
by Mr. Duke in 1893, and is the
nucleus of the estate

Mr. Duke's home is an exceed

Durham Bull.

ingly comfortable one, with a wide
verandah running around it, and
with a conservatory in the rear.

Within a short distance from the
dwelling is the large building which
is utilized as a stable and for the
offices of the estate. The stable is

divided from the offices by a large
enclosed court, upon the walls of
which, above the doors, are painted
hunting scenes typical of America,
Europe, Asia and Africa. These

pictures are very beautiful works of
art.

Immediately in front of the stable
is the large bronze bull, which,
every lover of smoking tobacco who
sees it at once recognizes as having
been suggested by Mr. Duke to the
artist who made it from one of the
labels of what is undoubtedly the
most famous brand of smoking to-
bacco in the United States. In
order to give the reader the best
possible notion of the beauty of this
creation in bronze, and of the man-
ner in which the artist has idealized
the original of his subject, a fac-
simile of the bull on the label is
printed at the beginning of this
article.

Mr. Duke's gardener has appro-
priately placed before the bronze
Durham bull a representation in
ornamental plants of a horse shoe,
a battle axe, and a spear head, each
of which, of course, recalls well-
known brands of chewing tobacco
now manufactured by the Conti-
nental Tobacco Company

The Dog

The group showing the dog
trainer and his hounds is to the
right of the stable, on a side road
leading to the large conservatories.
The dog trainer, the doe suckling
her fawn, and a large stag are all
in line, and the arrangement is very
happy, as suggesting the chase.

Three large bronzes, "Break of
Day," "Agriculture" and "Paint
ing," are near the great conserva-
tories.

There is also on the estate a three-
quarter mile race track, which Mr.
Duke uses simply for his own di-
version.

Mr. Duke's home, as well as the
stable and several of the buildings
on the estate, are constructed of a
species of black stone quarried from
a mountain located a short distance
from Somerville. The effect against

the various backgrounds of green
trees is very pleasing.

Thelandscape gardener employed
by Mr. Duke keeps the roads which
traverse the farm in far better con-
dition than the Street Cleaning
Commissioner of New York or
Philadelphia keeps the highways
entrusted to his care. The roads
on Duke's Farm are hard, and firm
and clean. After dark they are
lighted by electricity. A short
stretch of the main road, leading
from the fountain of the nymphi
and past Mr. Duke's home is shown
in one of the pictures of th« present
series.

During daylight hours Duke's
Farm is a scene of unceasing activ-
ity. The owner employs about two
hundred men on the estate the year
round, and every one of these men

"sojering" at Duke's Farm because
of the owner's frequent absences.
He appears to be able to instill a
love of work for its own sake into
every one with whom he associates
himself, whether that individual
spends his time amid the sylvan
quiet of Somerville or devotes his
energies to the details of his busi-
ness in the office or factory of one
of Mr. Duke's companies. ,

The secret of it all appears to be
that Mr. Duke is himself the hard-
est worker in this whole army of
laborers, and that his example is
inspiriting.

At the Aldine dinner in New
York, on the third of last January,
complimentary to representatives of
the following named of Mr. Duke's
companies: The American Tobacco
Company, The Continental Tobacco
Company, The American Snuflf
Company, The American Cigar
Company, The Monopol Tobacco
Works, The Black well's Durham
Tobacco Company, and S. Anargy-
ros, Hon. W. W. Fuller, the chair-
man, in toasting Mr. Duke, at the
time absent on duty in Europe, said
that there was not a man present, no
matter what his position, whose
place Mr. Duke was not qualified to
fill, or who, no matter how compe-
tent or industrious, and Mr. Fuller
laid particular stress upon the word
"industrious," but could learn from
Mr. Duke.

Those who are privileged to see
Mr. Duke oftenest, say that he is
literally an untiring worker. There
is not a detail of the vast interests
intrusted to his care, or over which
h« has presided during the past
twelve years, with which he is not
familiar.

He is still a young man, just a
little beyond 44; he has the un-
bounded confidence of the moneyed
people who hold shares of stock in
his companies, and better still, he
has the unswerving loyalty of all ;
the men who are associated with
him in the conduct of his business.
It is of these men that he uttered
the only boast that has ever been
known to come from his lips: — "I
have the finest lot of men in the
world with me in my business," he

said, "and I am confident that with
their cooperation I could success-
fully conduct even so vast an insti
tution as the Government at Wash-
ington."

James Buchanan Duke is the
youngest of the three sons of Mr
Washington Duke, of Durham, N.
C. He has been concerned with
tobacco from childhood. He is the
most successful tobacco man the
world has ever known. He has
grown as his opportunities have
grown, and no exigency that has
ever arisen in his career but has
found him its master. He is demo
cratic and unassuming, yet not one
of America's successful men has
j greater polish of manner.

He has done, and is doing, the
work that has been given him to do.
He has done it with distinguished
ability, with his whole heart, and,
like the true son of the "Old North
State" that he is, he has done it
with a serene mind and a smiling
face.

Licorice Men Combine.

The Mac Andrews & Forbes Co.
has been incorporated under the
New Jersey statute, with a capital
of $7,000,000, for the purpose of
purchasing and extending the busi
nessof MacAndrews & Forbes, and
acquiring other desirable licorice
properties. The businesses of the
Stamford Mfg. Co. , and of the Mel-
lorRittenhouse Co, of Camden,;
N. J., have already been acquired. |

The officers of the MacAndrews '

I Independent Flags for Inde-

cheroot, to take the place of the old
"War Eagle," which is being man-
ufactured for the independent job
bers in manufactured tobacco of
Greater New York, by the Collins

New York on June 25. The cheroot
is called "Independent Flag," and
the package is a very handsome one.

A Rushing Trade in Cigars.

Reid, Yeomans & Cubitt, retail
druggists of 140 Nassau street. New
York, are doing an old fashioned
land office business in cigars — big
and little. They handle all the
greatly advertii-ed brands, includ
ing Lillian Russell, Jackson Square,
Cremo, Geo. W. Childs, Sweet
Violets, Capadura, Florodora, and
the rest.

Their store on Nassau street is
near the famous leather district, and
within a stone's throw of all the
big newspaper offices, and opposite
it, as well as just below, on the
blo:k between Ann and Beekman
streets, are dozens of sky scrapers,
tenanted during office hours by
thousands of men who smoke cigars.

It is said that in their cigar de-
partment Reid, Yeomans & Cubitt
do business on a ten per cent, basis.
They sell Lillian Russells at 10 for
a quarter, and all the other nickel
leaders of the American Cigar Co.,
the United Cigar Manufacturers,

OBITUARY.

Mr. Leopold Bamberger a widely
known former leaf tobacco dealer
of Philadelphia, died at Long
Branch, N. J., on Sunday last, at
the age of 71 years. Mr. Bamber-
ger retired from business on Decem-
ber 31, 1895. He is survived by a
widow and seven children.

He was for many years a director
of the Manufacturers National Bank,
was a charter member of Keystone
Lodge, F. and A. M., and was as-
sociated with many charitable or-
ganizations.

An eloquent eulogy on Mr. Bam- '
berger's career was delivered yester- I
day by Mr. John R. Young, at a
meeting of the Philadelphia Leaf
Tobacco Board of Trade, of which
Mr. Young is President. He spoke
as follows:

On Sunday, June 29, at Long
Branch, there passed from life into
eternity one whom we all loved and
whose memory we all will revere,
and we have met here to-day to not
only take usual action as an organi
zation, but to give sincere expres-
sion to the love and respect which
we have always had for our former
President and brother merchant , Mr.
Leopold Bamberger.

Mr. Bamberger was born in Hei-
delberg, Germany, Dec. 24, 1830,
and remained there until 185 1 , when
he came to this country. In 1853
he began the business of importing
cigars and manufacturing snufF, at
Third and Race streets, within a
stone's throw of where we now are,
where the firm of L. Bamberger &
Co. was originally organized, with
Mr. Simon Auerbach.his brother in-

law, as partner In
moved to No. 3 North Water street,
and here the foundation of the pres
ent extensive business was laid. In
1866, Mr. Auerbach having retired
to engage in business in New York,
a new partnership was formed, con-
sisting of Leopold Bamberger, Max
Bamberger, and John Hay. This
partnership continued until Dec 3[,
1874, when it was dissolved by Mr.
Hay's withdrawal. In 1875 re
moval was made to the present lo-
cation, No. 1 1 1 Arch street, and the

ifc6o they re- 1 business has been continued there
ever since This, briefly, is a partial
history of the firm of which our de-
ceased friend was the head for so
many years.

Now what of the man? From the
beginning of his business career his
main object was to win commercial
success, and this he achieved by
energy, fidelity and honesty. Suc-
cess was his motto; but it must be
attained through industry and in-
tegrity alone. From this purpose
he never swerved, and during his

long business life his reputation was
spotless, and as we all know he was
the personification of an honorable
merchant of known and unques-
tioned integrity, and it is indeed a
priceless legacy which he has left
to his family, and to the business
communityanexamplewhichshould
be imitated by all.

For the past few years our friend
was afflicted with total blindness,
and none of us can fully appreciate
what a terrible affliction it must
have been, yet to meet and con-
verse with him, as I have often done,
was always a pleasure and a profit.
A pleasure, to see that in spite of
his affliction, of which he seldom
spoke, and never complained, he
was the same cheerful, genial com-
panion as of old; a profit, because
no one interested in business affairs
could talk with him without being
benefited by his wise counsel.

When the last summons came he
died as I know he would have pre-
ferred to die — suddenly and pain-
lessly. The Angel of Death touched
him, and he sank to eternal sleep.

But there is a lesson in this man 's
life for us all. He was one of God's
noblest works, an honest man, and
we should pause today and think
of him whose memory we are
here to honor, and, looking down
the inevitable pathway he has been
called upon to tread, so order our
living that each may not fear to
follow in his turn.

*• 'Tis true, the grave in its silence
gives forth no voice nor whisper of
the morn, but there is a voice borne
upon the lips of the morning
zephyrs that lets fall a whisper,

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cntter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by
any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.

top, other from the lowly vales, but
let us so trim them that they may

The Board also adopted a series
of resolutions in reference to the
death of Mr. Bamberger, which ap

A committee consisting of F.
Eckerson, J. S Batroff and Harry

a floral design, to be presented on

LANCASTER'S REPORT.

Upon my return to the "Garden
Spot of the Keystone State" I find
the leaf trade in a fairly healthful
condition. The volume of business
done during the first six months of
1902 is fairly satisfactory to a ma
jority of our local leaf men.

The new plants that were set out
were progressing rapidly during
last week, but the several cool days
of this week have retarded their ;
progress somewhat. They will un- i
doubtedly be benefited later on by

warm days that we may have will
do them a great amount of good.

The bmrn and tobacco shed of S.
H Bingeman, a cigar manufacturer
at Hopeland, this county, was set
on fire last week by lightning and
consumed. Among the contents
were about 250 cases of tobacco,
which was also destroyed.

H. L. Hershey, of Harrisburg,
has been reappointed Collector of
Internal Revenue of the Ninth Dis
trict. Mr. Hershey has made many
friends in the trade since his in-
cumbency, and they are glad of his
reappointment. He has certainly
proven himself a capable official,
and his department has often re-
ceived favorable mention at Wash-
ington, because of the prompt and
accurate manner in which the busi-
ness of the district was transacted

A. B. Groff, a leaf tobacco dealer
at New Holland, proposes to erect

a large tobacco warehouse upon a

lot of ground which he recently

purchased in that town.

A MODERN JUDAS.

We are having in this city a
beautiful example of the modern

reputed employer persistently boasts
of exclusive news, but it is clearly
shown, however, that if news of
Philadelphia is wanted, the columns
of The Tobacco World must be
read and copied weekly, or they
would have no news.

Our renowned factories like H. with a fair enough profit. One

party bought a vega from a farmer
in Bejucal at $90 per bale and

stance, and for this there is abso-
lutely no demand whatever, as even
cigarette manufacturers fight shy
of it. Summing up present condi-
tions, it is possible that there may
be a fair quantity of heavy fillers
for mixing purposes and suitable
for the North later on, while wrap-
pers and light factory fillers for
"Puros" will be decidedly missing.

Partido. — The former good de-
mand continues as stated above,
and while the crop is fairly large
it looks as if it will still fall short
of meeting all the calls from our
people in Havana, and the clear
Havana cigar manufacturers in the
United States.

Remedios. — Very little disposi-
tion is shown by packers to enter
into operations of any magnitude
this year. A few dealers may make
trial escojidas of the best tobacco
grown in certain districts, while it
looks as if this season vegueros
will be compelled more than ever
to pack their own tobacco, in order
to realize something for their pro-
duct. It is stated a few of the ven
turesome have already commenced
to start their packings, and neglect-
ing the safe rule of giving the to-
bacco suflficient "pilon" (first sweat
in piles), the consequences for them
may turn out to be disastrous.

Manuel Menendez Parra shipped
3,000 bales for the Spanish con-

brought it to Havana and turned
it over at once at $1 20 per bale, thus
netting him $30 per bale, less
freight, cartage and warehouse ex-
penses. However, to do such busi-
ness it needs a thorough judge of
tobacco, to be able to buy right from
the veguero. Such transactions do
not occur daily, and while one sue- j

cessful buyer may relate his ex-
tract by the steamer Alfonso XIII. ! perience half a dozen others remain

Latest News from York

, Pa.

The manufacturers here seem to
be gaining more confidence as the
trade improves, and it is confidently
expected that before the end of the
year we will witness busy cigar-
makers.

The factory of Geo. Kohler &
Co. is very busy making their line
of goods. For the past few days
the orders for certain brands have
compelled them to work during the
evenings.

Jacob A. Mayer & Bro. report as
especially good the demand for
several of their leading brands, the

New York Leaf Market

Complaint that transactions in
cigar leaf tobacco in the New York
market are no longer of good size is
general.

Said one leading packer to the
writer last week, "What independ
ent cigar manufacturer nowadays
has the nerve to buy in one lot, say
1,000 boxes of Wisconsin?"

There is a pleasant surprise in
waiting for this pessimist, for while
it is true that of late large trans
actions have been most infrequent,
the rally is near and next fall, if not
during the late summer of the cur-
rent year, the New York market
will recover its old tone. Manufac-
turers of nickel and d'me cigars
have had time not only to consume
all of their old accumulated stock
but to size up the situation, and are
by no means hopeless of the future.
Just wait and see.

In all types of leaf the market
during the week did a fair amount
of business.

Trade in Reading.

The cigar trade here has bright-
ened up considerably the past few
weeks and factories are running
with increased forces. Box manu
facturcrs who supply the boxes for
the cigar trade stated that they are
busier than they have been for some
months, and their output for the
year will show a big gain.

A. Thalheimer & Son, who are
large manufacturers of boxes for the
cigar trade, have been running over-
time the past month. Mr. Thal-
heimer recently patented a neat box
in which to pack 12 cigars. It is a
double box of cedar, and air tight.
He made a contract with Yocum
Bros, to take the entire output of
his factory of these boxes, and they
are successfully introducing them to
the trade.

Charles Maerz states that his
business has been very satisfactory,
and that his leading brand, the
Fourth Century, is selling better
than ever.

John U. Fehr has had a good
trade this summer, and believes
that the year will be a very brisk
one for the trade.

Many cigar dealers are carrying
Porto Rican cigars as a side line and

find them good sellers. They also
state that more stogies are sold than
for several summers. Sam Hantsch.
who is the only local manufacturer
of stogies, is increasing his output.
He is selling large numbars of his
product in Pittsburg and Wheeling,
the home of the stogies.

The Industrial Cigar Company is
a busy plant. The W.J. Florence
and White Chief are the leafling
brands. The trade outlook is re
garded as very favorable.

The leaf tobacco dealers here all
report the sales increasing in this
district, owing to the activity in
trade everywhere. Reading manu-
facturers state that there is a con-
tinued scarcity of female labor, and
that many more girls could be given
work if they were available

Daniel Fleck, of the Fleck Cigar
Co., Ltd., has returned from a suc-
cessful western trip. He was gone
about six weeks and received many
orders. He introduced the firm's
brands in considerable new territory
and has a large run on the Eastern
Buffalo and Smoke House. He had
with him his new and novel adver-
tising wagon, which was designed
and built by himself. He expects
to leave on another extensive trip
next month.

John G Spacz, of John G Spatz
& Co met with great success on his
prolonged Western trip. He says
that there is a growing demand in
the West for Reading cigars. He
booked quite a number of large
orders.

O. Eisenlohr, of the firm of O.
Eisenlohr& Bros., of Philadelphia,
was at Boyertown last week, mak-
ing preparations for beginning
operations in the firm's new cigar
factory at that place. The large
factory is being given a general
overhauling, and is being thorough
lycleaned.calsomined and repainted.
The building will be equipped with
all of the latest improvements.

Walter Yorgey, who opened a ci-
gar store in the main wing of the
Baer building here, placed a new
brand on the market called the
Reading Speedway. Mr. Yorgey
is meeting with considerable sue- {
cess.

Gumpert Bros, are running with I
an increased force of hands. The

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

The tobacco trade is in a quiet
condition. Sales are rare. We
hear of only two or three sales of
late. As the price is concealed,
the presumption is it was not any-
thing very satisfactory, or else it
was so large that the purchaser
wanted it concealed. There is con-
siderable leaf held in Hatfield,
Whately and South Deerfield. Offers
have been refused, as holders do
not care to place their leaf on the
market at any prices that are or
have been offered Much interest
is manifested in the new industry
of shade growing of tobacco. This
involves much care and expense.
One grower who has 24,000 plants
of Sumatra growing says that he
intended to obtain strips of boards
and put up one to each plant, and
tie the plants about three feet from
the ground to prevent them from
falling and being thus injured.
There seems to be a lack of woody
fibre to make the stalk self-support-
ing in an upright position.

Our correspondents seem to be
resting largely from their labors, or
have they forgotten that we want
to hear from them?

Wethersfield: "Tobacco is nearly
all set out. We have had nice
weather for transplanting The
cut worms are doing some damage
on a few pieces. There will proba-
bly be about the usual acreage set. ' '

Deerfield: "It seems that there
are several who have set mixed
plants. For some reason there was
some Sumatra plants set for the
purpose of seeing how it grew.
These were allowed to blossom, and

the result is that there is a strain of
Sumatra found in some fields, and
we learn that Ed. O. Everett has
had to reset 9 acres. He has now
the real, true Connecticut Havana
seed."

East Deerfield: "A very heavy
shower occurred here Monday, the
1 6th, just after noon. Frank Brig
ham lost an acre of tobacco, which
had been recently set. It was
washed out The crop is looking
well. About the usual acreage has
been started."

Amherst: "Tobacco is raised in
the northern part and the southern
part of the town. As they had an
early start the bulk of the setting is
looking finely. What old tobacco
there is is in growers' hands and is
held for the sweat."

South wick: "Two lots of 1901
leaf was sold quite recently and this
finishes the sale there. At Whately
Seth B. Crafts has 60 cases and H.
S. Allis has about 8 acres, other
than these I know no more. At
Hatfield a number of lots remain,
and one lot at Conway, held by H.
T. Newhall, some 8 or 9 tons." —
American Cultivator.

MIAMISBURG, OHIO.

The 1 90 1 crops of Zimmer are
still eagerly sought, though very
few are yet held by farmers. De
liveries are irregular, and prices are
about the same as have prevailed
right along. The indications are!
that farmers will soon be relieved of
every vestige of the entire crop. [
Crops of seedleaf are also being
bought, though prices do not aver-
age quite as high as heretofore. I

The crop of 1902 has been trans-
planted from the beds to the fields
under favorable circumstances, are 1
growing nicely and the outlook at '
present is most promising. — News.

for the month past is about drawing
to a close, only the belated ones will
be left after the close of this week.
The weather has been exceptional
for this work throughout and the
new fields never looked more prom
ising at this date.

An occasional transaction of
cured leaf is reported and a few
dealers are yet industriously pick-
ing up the few scattering remnants
in first hands.

The last of warehouse handling of
last season s crop in this market has
been completed during the week in
the closing of the American Cigar
Co 's warehouse.

The business of the local dealers
in old leaf is dull beyond compar
ison, no transactions of any magni
tude having come to notice.

Our receipts this week were 673 hhds;
offerings on the breaks, 986 hhds; sales,
757 hhds.

The market was active with good
general demand with no material
change in prices.

The breaks were composed mainly
of leaf, the bulk of the lugs having
been taken for home consumption
by private sale, but few appear upon
the breaks.

The weather has been alternately
hot and cool, and we have had
some showers but the planting sea-
son may be considered ended.

strong request. Receipts falling off
and factories closing show that a

large part of the crop has already

crop reports of poor stand, damage
by insects, scarcity of plants, and

mate the crop not over 70 per cent.

By Henry Friedman for $15,000

Damages for Breach of

Contract.

Roth, Bruner & Feist, of Cincin-
nati, who last spring sold out to the
American Tobacco Company, have
been suedinthe New York Supreme
court for $15,000 damages for
breach of contract by Henry Fried-
man, a well-known leaf dealer of
163 Water street.

Levy & Unger, of the Pulitzer
building, are Mr. Friedman's at-
torneys.

The bill of complaint sets forth
that in December, 190 r, plaintiflF
entered into a contract with the de-
fendants which stipulated that for
two years he was to have the ex-
clusive control in Greater New
York and elsewhere of the "War
Eagle" cheroot manufactured by
the defendants. A profit of 50
cents per thousand, he alleges, was
guaranteed to him upon every one
thousand "War Eagles" that were
sold during the life of the contract
in the territory specified, whether
they were sold through him directly
or not. He alleges that he was
successful in building up a very
large and profitable business in
"War Eagles" with independent
jobbers, and that the sale of that
brand to the American Tobacco
Company was in violation of good
faith and of the terms of the con-

as

tract, wherefore he has brought the
«uit herein described. Throughout
the bill of complaint the American
Tobacco Company is called the To
bacco Trust.

The following allegations occur
in the bill of complaint:

' That during all times hereinafter
mentioneu there existed a certain
corporation commonly designated
the American Tobacco Company,
and otherwise known as the To-
bacco Trust, and which corporation
was organized and formed to control
and monopolize the manufaclureo
tobacco business, by fixing and
maintaining prices ol manufactured

tion of merchants dealing in all
kinds of leaf tobacco, both domestic
and imported, it must be apparent
that our only interest in this matter
is in how far the prosperity of the
cigar manufacturers of the United
States may be affected by the pass-
age of a bill reducing the present
high rate of duty on imported cigars.
As our testimony is in a sense dis-
interested, we feel entitled to ask
consideration for the arguments we
submit.

You ask how the fact of the con-
solidation of the three largest cigar
producing concerns of Cuba under
one owntiship affects the question
under consideration differently than

tobacco goods at a standard, arbi | when these concerns were under
trarily fixed by it, and others in '

combination with it, so as to prevent

separate control In the first place,
we beg to point out that the cigar

lawful competition iu said tobacco \ ^I'd tobacco trades, before the con-
trade, and more particularly to pre , solidatiou referred to took place op-
vent dealers and jobbers with said po^t^d a material reduction in duty

will, by force of example, prefer it
to smoking a cigar of domestic
manufacture, though both cigars be
of equal merit. If these reasons
were found sufficiently strong to
urge the tobacco trade in general to
oppose the generous impulse of the
country when the cigar business of
Cuba was in f^eparate hands, they
apply at least with equal force when
these interests are consolidated by
an American corporation of the
type commonly known as a trust.
If the tobacco trade is not justified
in fearing greater ill results from a
corporation of this kind than from
the disunited single interests, then
all the thet)ries advanced by the
organizers of the so called trusts as
to the advantages in economy of
operation, and particularly in the
way of finding a market for their
product, are mistaken ones and thei
men promoting and financing them, 1
admittedly theshrewdestand wealth
iest of our citizens, are deliberately
deceiving the country with their

claims; it must remain equally true
that the fears, entertained by the

igst otner tnings to pre
general competition in the said busi
ness."

THl TOBACCO WOULD

NO ROOM
FOR DOUBT

It is seldom that a new article can be placed
on the market in regard to which there is no
room for doubt as to its value, importance and
efficiency.

The DuBrul Dieless Suction Table is an
exception— a notable and distinguished exception.

Here is a table which speaks for itself.

To see it in operation answers every point
that can be raised against it, and silences the
most prejudiced critic.

The suction table has
always been operf to seri-
ous objections.

Dies and rollers are
responsible for these dis-
advantages. The dies, rol-
lers, rolling arms, pivots,
screws, collars, platens,
and other mechanism re-
quire constant attention to
keep them in condition to
do the work ; the rollers
passing over the dies con-
stantly mash them down ;
the rollers themselves
require re-polishing and
oiling and careful, frequent
adjustment to the wear of
the die. All this make-
shift mechanism requires
frequent attention, re-adjustment and repair. The
die is in the way of the operator. In spite of the
best attention dies always become dull and leave
a white streak on the edge of a dark wrapper,
marring the appearance of the cigar— the ends get
mashed by the rollers and this compels the
operator to tear the wrappers at these points and
often destroy them in the attempt.

We have been trying to overcome these

,I;..iH;:::;:i

objections for a long time and we have succeeded.
We have wiped them out completely and have
in their place a table which is really a wonder.
There are no dies and no rollers.
The cutting is done by a circular knife which
is easy to keep sharp and needs absolutely no ad-
justment. The cutting mechanism swings out of
the way after the wrapper is cut, and the rolling
plate is open and free so that the operator is not

in the least hampered by
any complications. It is
natural to do palm work
instead of finger work, and
you get a hand-made cigar
that cannot be surpassed
in any way. You get a
larger output, you have a
table which anybody can
learn to roll upon in a very
short time, and the Du-
Brul Table is so simple in
operation that it never gets
out of perfect order, and
operators will not raise the
slightest objection to it, as
they have always done
to other suction tables, so
that they will never work
any other kind if they can
get work on this.
We would like to hear from you about
this table.

We would like to tell you more about it, and
we would be glad to do so if you would take the
trouble to ask us.

We still make our Die Table, admitted the
best of that kind; we show it alongside of the
Dieless Table at both of our offices.

A Possible Cigar Monopoly.

(From Phila. Record, June 25.)
From a theoretical or speculative
view point, the industry of making
cigars would seem to be one of the
most difl&cult to subject to Trust
methods or syndicate monopoly.
Cigars are not a necessity of living —
not evtn to the smoker — and the
multiplicity and wide range of tastes
among lovers of this product of the
Indian weed have tended to a dif-
fusion of the business unusual in
these times of combination and con-
centration . At the close of the cal-
endar year 1900 there were no less
than 27,366 cigar factories in the
States and Territories, with an ag-
gregate production of more than
5,500,000000 cigars. Pennsyl-
vania alone had 5,175 factories,
with an annual output of over 1,-
600,000,000. Yet this industry, so
widely scattered, and catering to
luxurious and vastly diversified in-
clinations, seems now to be strug-
gling to free itself from threatened
monopoly.

The matter has been brought to
the attention of Attorney General
Knox in a communication from the
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association,
which recites that it is the practice
of the Tobacco Trust which controls
practically all other branches of the
business to refuse to execute orders
from dealers for plug and smoking
tobacco, cigarettes, etc , unless the
dealers will also undertake to pur-
chase large quantities of cigars
made by the Trust. This method
of coercion, it is affirmed, is gradu
ally destroying active competition
in cigar manufacturing throughout
the country, and. by consequence,
demoralizing and paralyzing the
cigar leaf tobacco trade everywhere.
Obviously, if the Trust should be
able to monopolize the cigar traffic,
as it now controls other branches
of the business, the wholesalers and
jobbers of leaf tobacco would find
their occupation gone.

Careful inquiry is to be made into
the matter by officers of the Depart-
ment of Justice, with intent to pro
ceed against any persons violating
the Federalstatute prohibitiLg inter I
state monopoly or restraint of trade
Exactly how the Trust is to be pre
vented from oflfering its customers
in the trade inducements to handle
Trust cigars does not appear from
any of the data of the Leaf Tobacco '
Association's complaint. What is
being done is the substitution of
corporate movement for individual \
initiative, a process all the more
easy because it operates constantly
along the lines of least commercial
resistance. It is not in human
nature — that is, the nature of the
prosperous retailer — to quarrel with
his profits on a trade technicality. I

He will sell Trust cigars, accord
ingly, in order that his supplies in
other directions may be assured

Should this process of selection
and elimination continue unchecked
the spectacle would be presented in
due time of a cigar-using public
dominated in its tastes by a huge
private corporation, much as the
people of France or Russia, where
tobacco manufacture is a Govern-
ment monopoly, must accept what
the domestic factories supply. The
liberty of choice, so dear to the
smoker of to day , would be narrowly
circumscribed in such an event.
Nor would wealthy dilettanti es-
cape, for the Trust is already reach-
ing out for a monopoly of the fine
Cuban tobacco product.

Advcitiscmcnts trith Cigars.
In reply to an inquiry whether ci-
gar manufacturers would be per
mitted to place in boxes of cigars
advertisement circulars, cards or
pamphlets relating to a gift enter-
prise, that upon the return to them
of certain wrappers connected with
the cigars they would exchange
other articles for the wrappers, it
was advised that the office has de-
cided , by Regulations, No. 8. Supple
ment No. i that a statutory pack- |
age of cigars or tobacco means a
package which contains manufac-
tured tobacco, cigars or cigarettes,
and nothing else, and that any other
substance or thing cannot lawfully
be placed in such package; that the
inclusion of the tobacco, cigars or
cigarettes, means the exclusion of
all foreign articles and any other
business, and that no loose adver
tisement cards, circulars, pamphlets
or other article could properly be
placed in such packages.

Sample Cigarette Packages.
An extensive dealer in cigarettes,
who recently requested permission
to use in the free distribution of
sample cigarettes envelopes contain

package until the cigars are sold and
delivered to the consumer directly
from the stamped box.

Qualification of Cigar Mannfactarcrs.
In reply to an inquiry as to the
steps necessary to be taken before
commencing the manufacture of ci
gars an applicant was recently ad-
vised the manufacturer must first
register his business, on Form 277,
and file a statement showing the
place where and the time when he
proposes to begin the manufacture
of cigars; describing the premises
on Form 36)^, and give a bond on
Form 71 in such penal sum as the
collector for the district may deter-
mine; and that thereafter the manu-
facturer will be required to render
monthly returns. Form 72, and
keep Book 73, showing the number
of cigars made each day and the
quantity of material received at the
factory; and that all cigars manu-
factured must be put up in boxes
containing 12, 13, 25, 50, 100, 2CX),
250 or 500 cigars each, and each
box must be properly packed in
boxes not before used for that pur-
pose, and labeled and stamped
showing the payment of tax on the
cigars at the rate of J3 per thousand.
Copies of the Regulations, No. 8,
revised, and Supplements Nos. i, 2
and 3, giving full information relat-
ing to the manufacture and sale of
cigars, are furnished to the persons
addressed.

Re-nsc ol Porto Rican Cigar Boxes.
In reply to a complaint that boxes ,
which have contained Porto Rican
cigars, are being refilled with cigars
of domestic manufacture to the de
triment of dealers handling genuine
Porto Rican cigars, the Commis-
sioner replied that the provisions of
section 3397 of the Revised Statutes
apply as well to cigars of Porto
Rican manufacturer brought to the
United States for consumption and
sale as they do to the domestic ci-
gars, and the boxes containing the

cigars must be properly stamped by
the owner, consignee, manufacturer
or dealer before the goods are placed
upon the market, and such packages
can not lawfully be used the second
time for packing cigars; but section
3393. requiring a manufacturer's
caution notice label to be affixed to
each box of cigars, does not apply
to cigars manufactured in Porto
Rico. With respect to the sug-
gestion that the office should lay
this matter before the Governor of
Porto Rico for action by the Execu-
tive Council and House of Delegates
of Porto Rico, it was advised that
as such action would relate purely
to legislative measures, the question
could be brought to the attention of
Congress as amendatory of the act
approved May 12, 1900, or as
amendatory of the act of the Legis-
lative Assembly of Porto Rico ap-
proved January 3, 1901, entitled,
"An act to provide revenue for the
people of Porto Rico and for other
purposes, "independent of the action
suggested to be taken by the office.

Gift Schemes.
A manufacturer recently com-
plained to the Commissioner that a
competitor was utilizing a gift
scheme in advertising his goods.
He submitted two empty packages
which had been put on the market
by the competitor, one originally
containing cigarettes and the other
smoking and chewing tobacco.
There was no coupon, certificate,
mark, label, or other printed matter
connected with the packages which
would indicate that either was in-
tended to be used in connection with
a lottery scheme or gift enterprise,
and the office indicated that they
were not objectionable or prohibited
by section 10. act of July 24, 1897,
nor by the Regulations, No. 8,
Supplement No. i, concerning the
contents and the marking and label-
ing of statutory packages of tobacco
or cigarettes. The office suggested
in this connection that the manu-
facturer is not privileged to place in
a statutory package of tobacco, or
cigarettes, or cigars, any loose ad-
vertisement card, circular, certificate
or any foreign article, and that he
cannot affix to any plug or parcel of
twist tobacco, or to any package of
smoking tobacco any label that
would contain any promise or oflFer
of, or any certificate or order for,
any prize, premium, payment or
reward, and that statutory packages
of smoking tobacco or cigarettes
cannot be used as vehicles for the
promotion of a lottery scheme or
gift enterprise, and that all adver-
tisement matter relating to such
schemes must be excluded from,
and not placed in, attached to or

connected with, the statutory pack-
age.

Registration of Leaf Dealers.
A collector who inquired whether
leaf dealers, after July i, 1902, will
be required to file a bond before a
certificate is issued to them, and
whether they will be required to
keep Record 5^, was advised that
the statute does not require that a
dealer in leaf tobacco shall execute
a bond, but that he is required,
under section 3360. Revised Stat-
utes, as amended, and as provided
by section 26, act of October i , 1890,
to register with the collector of the
district his name or style, place of
residence, his business, and the
place where such trade or business
is to be carried on; and after regis-
tering he must keep a record of his
transactions in two books kept for
that purpose (Book 59), showing
daily the number of hogsheads,
cases and pounds of leaf tobacco
purchased or received by him, and
of whom purchased or received,
and the number of hogsheads, cases
or pounds sold by him, with the
name and residence in each instance
of the person to whom sold; and if
shipped to whom shipped and to

what district. The ofl5ce has pre-
scribed that every qualified dealer
in leaf tobacco shall keep Book 59
in duplicate, and return one of these
books to the collector of his district
at the close of each quarter; that
each dealer in leaf tobacco must on
the first day of July register his
business and his place of business
with the collector for his district, |
using Form 277, as provided by
Circular 621 addressed to Collectors
of Internal Revenue, dated April
17, 1902 It was further advised
that the act approved April 1 2, 1902,
to take effect July i, 1902, repeals
all special taxes imposed by section
4, act of June 13, 1898.

Less well known is the tale of the
put up job arranged by certain oper-

garette factory at Seville and went
to breaking hearts. It was a happy
circumstance that Prosper Merimee
learned the story and that Georges
Bizet read Merimee 's book.

The trouble at Piacenza had
naught to do with hearts. It was
all politics; nevertheless the ladies,
Piacenzan ladies, were mixed up in
it. Hearken:

The old Spanish obsequieo , which ,
on our side the Atlantic shows itself
in a cigar label in a picture of an
actor, an actress, a statesman or
anything else whatsoever, takes in
Italy one form only. In that sunny
land of vile "Virginias" the cigar
made for the masses is always named
after the King's prime minister.
Thus, in Crispi's time Italians
smoked Crispis, in the time of the
Marquis di Rudini they smoked
Rudinis. This method of naming
cigars has been found by the poli-
ticians of Italy to be efifective in
keeping their names before the
public, and ever so much less ex-
pensive than subsidizing news-
papers, or running any other kind
of a bureau of publicity. Some day
Italy will turn out a minister who
will know how to work this scheme
for all there is in it. And you will
admit, I think, that it has vast
possibilities, for just fancy how
popular a vote-seeking American
could make himself, after whom,
during a campaign, some friendly
manufacturer should name a really
good cheap cigar!

This story shows what can be
done with a cigar to make an ad-
ministration not only unpopular but
impossible.

At the time in Italy with which
this story is concerned the reigning
"Virginia" was named after Signor

excepting paper wrapped cigarettes, others had felt, and on their way , was and laughed with the jokers

! very soon afterward. They laughed
Signor Magliani out of office.

This is what the cigarmakers of
Piacenza did to mark their resent-
ment: As soon as they got back to
the factory the word was quickly
passed around — and it went straight
to the heart of every man and
woman operative in the establish-
ment— that for the next four weeks

a new formula. Outwardly they
looked about as usual. They had
the usual wrapper from Kentucky
or Maryland, and the straw stuck
out at both ends in the regulation
way. But, holy smoke! what a
stench filled Italy when they were
lighted! A table d'hote kitchen on
South Fifth avenue was a garden of
roses in comparison.

An enterprising chemist at Flor-
ence instituted an investigation . He
reported that he had found the
following constituents in the new
"Maglianis": a piece of lime, some
powered gypsum, a quantity of
humus, a piece of wood, and a piece
of string.

Where is the smoker who would
not kill a brand made up of such
ingredients? Not even the Italians
could stand the ' ' Maglianis. ' ' They
trampled them under their indignant
feet, and they put an end forever to

What to Do to Be Saved.

A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditlons In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.

vin.

You are invited to read the most
brilliant debate on government hat
ever took place. It occurred upon
the death of the mad king Cambyses,
and the murder, by Darius and six
fellow conspirators, of the usurper
Smerdis. The debate is from the
sparkling pages of Herodotus, and
the remarks of Darius, who, by the
way, won the day, upon combina-
tions of individuals in a republic,
are especially commended to your
attention.

Otanes, who spoke for a republic
said:

"How can a monarchy be a well
constituted government, where one
man is allowed to do whatever he
pleases without control? For, if
even the best of men were placed in
such power, he would depart from
his wonted thoughts. For insolence
is engendered in him by the ad
vantages that surround him, and
envy is implanted in a man from his
birth, and having these two, he has
every vice; for puflFed up by insolence
he commits many nefarious actions,
and others through envy. One
would think that a man who holds
sovereign power should be free from
envy since he possesses every ad-
vantage; but the contrary to this
takes place in his conduct toward
the citizens, for he envies the best
who continue to live, and delights
in the worst men in the nation; he
very readily listens to calumny, and
is the most inconsistent of all men;
for if you show him respect in mod
eracion he is offended because he is
not sufficiently honored; and if any
one honors him very much he is of-
fended as with a flatterer. But a
popular government bears the fairest
name of all, equality of rights; and
secondly, he is guilty of none of

those excesses that a monarch is.
The magistrate obtains his office by
lot, and exercises it under responsi
bility, and refers all plans to the
public. I, therefore, give my opin-
ion that we should do away with
monarchy and exalt the people, for
in the many all things are found."
Megabyzus advised the Persians
to intrust the government to an
oligarchy, and spoke as follows:

"I concur with what Otanes has
said about abolishing tyranny, but
in bidding us transfer the power to
the people, he has erred from the
best opinion; for nothing is more
foolish and insolent than a useless
crowd, therefore it is on no account
to be endured, that men who are en-
deavoring to avoid the insolence of
tyrants should fall under the inso-
lence of an unrestrained multitude.
The former, when he does anything,
does it knowingly , but the latter have
not the means of knowing, for how
should they know who have neither
been taught nor are acquainted with
anything good or fitting; they who
rushing on without reflection pre-
cipitate affairs like a winter torrent.
Let those, then, who desire the ruin
of the Persians adopt a democracy,
but let us, having chosen an associ-
ation of the best men, commit the
sovereign power to them, for among
them we ourselves shall be included,
and it is reasonable to expect that
the best counsels will proceed from
the best men."

The incomparable Darius de-
livered himself thus:

"In what Megabyzus has said
concerning the people, he appears
to me to have spoken rightly; but
concerning an oligarchy, not so.
For if three forms are proposed, and
each of these which I allude to the
best in its kind, the best democracy,
and oligarchy, and monarchy, I af
firm that the last is far superior.
For nothing can be found better
than one man who is the best; since
acting upon equally wise plans he
would govern the people without
blame and would keep his designs
most secret from the ill affected.
But in an oligarchy, whilst many
are exerting iheir energies for the
public good, strong private enmities
commonly spring up; for each wish
ing to be chief, and to carry his
own opinions, they come to deep
animosities one against another,
from whence seditions arise; and
from seditions, murder; and from
murder it results in monarchy. And
thus it is proved how much this
form of government is the best.
But when the people rule, it is im-
possible but that evil should spring
up; when, therefore, evil springs
up, mutual enmities do not arise
among the bad, but powerful com-
binations, and this lasts until some
one of the people stands forward
and puts them down; and on this
account he is admired by the people,
and being admired, he becomes a
monarch; and in this, too, he
shows that monarchy is best."

And these remarks were uttered
in Persia over 2,400 years ago !

The Medicine Man,

Bureau of The Tobacco World,

II Burling Slip, New York.

The United Cigar Stores Co.

New York, July 5, 1902.
Dear Medicine Man:

Is it true, as stated in one of our
dailies of June 24, that the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company is working
with the United Cigar Stores Com
pany in an effort to drive retail to
bacconists in this city out of busi-
ness? Clerk.

The Answer.

It is altogether unlikely. The
American Tobacco Company is not
going into the retail business. The
newspaper story to which my cor
respondent refers, states among
other things that the American To
bacco Company "has guaranteed
leases arranged by the United Cigar
Stores Company." This is a grat-
uitous insult to the United Cigar
Stores Company, which is a per-
fectly solvent corporation, and
which therefore requires no guar-
antor.

Any corporation that should as
pire to operate even ten per cent,
of all the retail cigar stores in the
United States would lay its sanity
open to suspicion, for ten per cent
in this instance would mean 100,-
000 retail stores, for of these there
are altogether about 1,000,000 in
the United States.

The United Cigar Stores Com-
pany is a large customer of the
manufacturing corporations which
have their headquarters at 1 11 Fifth
Avenue, but it is also a large cus-
tomer of the United Cigar Manu-
facturers, and of other firms and
corporations engaged in the manu-
facture of smoking and chewing to-
bacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes
in this city and elsewhere. Its am-
bition appears to be to acquire and

to conduct as many profitable retail
cigar stores in New York city as
possible. The same ambition ani-
mates the breast of Robert E. Lane,
Anthony Schulte, The Waldorf-
Astoria Segar Company, and others,
each of whom buys the wares he
thinks he can sell.

Daily newspapers of the "yellow"
variety delight in barking at big
corporations. They will call any
one of them a trust on the slightest
provocation. In their view this is
"business," for it helps to "sell the
paper." If any big corporation
were to stoop to similar methods it
wouldn't have a stockholder or a
customer to boast of.

How to Prevent Moid on

Cigars.

The following bulletin, recently
issued by the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry of the Department of Argri-
culture at Washington, comes in
very pat as an answer to a question

just received from "Isidor Hyman,"
of St. Louis, Mo.:

"The Department of Agriculture
has received numerous statements
from cigar manufacturers during the
past year to the effect that great
damage is caused by the appearance,
especially during the heated season,
of mold on cigars, either in the
factory before shipment or after-
wards in the shops of retailers.
This mold has appeared, it seems,
in a large number of factories, and
has necessitated considerable ex-
pense to the manufacturer, in ad-
dition to the injury done his repu-
tation among retailers.

"At the request of a large cigar
manufacturer the office of Vegetable
Pathological and Physiological In-
vestigating, in co-operation with
the Bureau of Soils, urdertook a
study of this trouble in its labora-
tories during the past winter. The
outcome of such studies has indi-
cated a probable source of the diffi-
culty, and has led to the suggestion
of a possible remedy. In the hope
that the laboratory studies may be
supplemented by adequate factory
tests, it has seemed best to place
the results thus far obtained in the
hands of the manufacturers. The
request is most earnestly made that
the results of such tests be com-
municated to this office, in order
that the adequacy of the proposed
remedy may be known.

"Laboratory studies have indi-
cated that the paste most frequently
used in the manufacture of cigars,
namely, tragacanth paste, is an ex-
cellent medium for the growth of
many molds. Studies of tragacanth
paste from cigar factories and from
pharmacies have shown that all
samples were well infected with the
spores of molds, and in all cases,
when proper conditions of moisture
were supplied, the paste quickly
produced a heavy crop of molds.

"Among the molds appearing on
the pastes were present almost with-
out exception those which were
identified as the cause of molding
of the cigars. Attempts to culti-
vate these molds on wrapper leaf

gave negative results, except when
the leaf was covered with a thin
coating of paste. This, and much
more evidence which cannot be
touched upon in this memorandum,
seem to indicate that the source of
the trouble lies in the paste used in
fastening the wrapper.

"Laboratory experiments here
have shown that when instead of
water paste was made up with a
saturated solution of boracic acid,
the molds were unable to grow on
this paste, and it is suggested that
in factories troubled in this way a
test lot of cigars be made in which
such paste shall be used. Boracic
acid is soluble in water in the ratio
of one ounce of acid to twenty- five
ounces of water.

"Since the acid is cheap and
readily obtainable, it is suggested
that only the best quality be used.
To saturate the solution it is advisa j
ble to bring the water into which
the boracic acid has been stirred to
the boiling point, and then allow
the solution to cool down. There

should remain after cooling a slight
sediment of boracic acid in the bot
torn of the container. This solu-
tion used instead of water in mixing
up the paste, will, it is hoped, un-
der factory conditions as well as in
the laboratory, suppress these in-
jurious organisms.

"Concerning the effect of the
boracic acid on the smoker, and on
employes who work with it, it may
I be stated that no alarm need be felt.
The acid has no odor, is practically
tasteless, and can in no way exert
any deleterious action.

"It is hoped that those firms hav-
ing trouble with cigar molds will
thoroughly test th's suggested
remedy, and advise this office in
case of either success or failure,
indicating fully the manner of
carrying out the experiment and
its extent, conditions of weather
and moisture of the air prevailing
at the time. It will be very ex

large the quantity may finally turn
out to be? Everybody that knows
something about this section agrees,
however, that there will be virtually
no wrappers to speak of this year, if

dark colors continue to be unsale-
able.

Partido. — Only very little remains
unsold in farmers' hand, and esco-
jidas are working as fast as the
weather and number of hands will
permit. According to the old
Spanish system, not to commence
selling until a packing is completed
and the actual cost is known, many
houses that have received a part
already fight shy of naming any
prices, and this undoubtedly has
prevented a larger business from
having been done up to date. How-
ever two or three prominent houses
' in the trade, knowing, through their
long experience in packing tobacco,
how they have to calculate the dif-
ferent grades and thus correspond
to the actual yield, have been liberal
sellers ofall goods from the country,
and by being thus able to turn over
their capital quickly they may have
been satisfied with a smaller profit.

Remedios —Reports continue
very pessimistic as regards quantity
and yield of clean goods, therefore,
even if prices should rule low for
^ the raw leaf in bundles, the good
[serviceable part of clean fillers may
be proportionally very high. One
I small vega of the early cut which
was packed and is now arriving in
Havana, consisting of 109 bales in
all, will give only 22 bales of clean
fillers. Such a result is of course
disastrous, if other vegas or pack-
ings should not give a higher yield.

Cigar Manufacturers.

Owing to thfe excessive humidity
of the atmosphere last week, orders
could not be executed rapidly, but
as the weather has changed at last
there is a prospect of greater activ-
ity to come. It is stated that the
Henry Clay and Bock & Co., Ltd.,
will start in working the new wrap-

I pers July 15th, although of course
the fillers will still continue to be
of the last year's crop. This firm
have given a check for j5 100, 000 to

I one house for one purchase of to-
bacco this week. H. Upmann &
Co. secured two large Vuelta Aba jo
vegas of the Temprano part (early
cutting) and which are described
as being of the best tobacco pro-
duced this year.

The Havana Tobacco Co.
The projectors of this company
seem to have met with some dif
ficulties here in carrying out their
original scheme of consolidating
the Henry Clay and Bock & Co.,
Ltd., Havana Commercial Co., and
the H. de Cabanas y Carbajal Co.
under the managership of Don
Gustavo Bock, as the latter gentle
man has peremptorily declined to
accept this post of honor. Gossip
has it that the price of $500,000 of-
fered to Don Gustavo was refused
by him and that he demanded $2,-
000 000 to cancel ©r modify his ten
years' contract with the Henry Clay
and Bock & Co , Ltd. The final
upshot however, is that each com
pany will continue as a separate
concern, under diflferent managers.
The Havana Tobacco Co. is re-
ported to have purchased 7,000
(common stock) shares of the Henry
Clay and Bock & Co., which how
ever does not give it the absolute
control, as the voting trust is said
to be vested in the preferred shares
and also the owners of the deben-
ture bonds, according to English
law, it seems, that in order to get
the voting power the Havana To-
bacco Co. will have to purchase
enough shares and bonds of the
latter to accomplish their object.
The question is, will it be able to
do so? In the meantime, as Don
Gustavo Bock has a ten years con
tract with the Henry Clay and
Bock & Co., which is said to be
drawn up without a flaw in it, he

would be the arbiter of the policy
of this company until 19 12, unless
he should r«consider his refusal to
sell his right or modify his contract
by amicable arrangements in con-
sideration of a satisfactory stipu-
lated sum . What the final outcome
may be it is hard to tell, as after
all it seems that it is only a ques-
tion of money between the two op-
posing parties, although there is a
great deal of talk of honor and not
deserting his employes on the part
of Don Gustavo Bock. The fact is,
that the latter is very popular
amongst all residents of Havana,
and he has managed the Henry Clay
and Bock & Co. to the extreme
satisfaction of the shareholders,
employes and all people who have
been doing business with this com-
pany.

Leslie Pantin, although absent in
the North, must have sent some
orders from New York, as his
representative here purchased some
200 bales of Remedies and 50 bales
Vuelta Abajo fillers this week for
prompt shipment.

Silveira & Co. were busy ship-
ping goods purchased previously
this week, and Don Fernando Car-
denas tried to close some trades,
which, however, on account of his
low limits and the stifif tendency of
our market, could not be clinched
yet.

Walter Himml reports no sales,
but is working hard to dispose of
some old filler goods of Vuelta
Abajo that he has on consignment,
and as they are of good origin
doubtless he will be able to an-
nounce this transaction next week.

Federico Bauriedel & Co. — Don
Edmundo Will says he is getting
more orders with each mail for
cigars, which surely must be an in-
dication that he attends to the busi-
ness with zeal and knowledge of
the brands, where the latter are left
to his discretion.

. Manuel Menendez Parra. — This
old-established house, having been
in business over twenty years, al-
ways had the reputation of packing
the finest Santa Clara tobacco, and
therefore it was no wonder that
buyers were anxious to secure his
escojidas and readily pay a few dol-
lars more for them than for others
that were less favorably known and
less cleanly packed. Senor Parra
is at present in Spain, as well as the
silent partner, Don Pancho Garcia,

who is so well and favorably known
that it is superfluous to speak of
him. The nephew of Don Manuel,
Don Ladilao Menendez, is at pres-
ent ably conducting the affairs, at-
tending to the vast interests of sup
plying the Spanish contractors with
their needs from here, and also
furnishing the local cigar factories
with which this house is connected
with the choicest supply of raw
material . This house has also some
of the finest grades of Santa Clara
Capaduras (old crop) for sale yet,
but not being in need of money
they have refused to sell at the
ruinously low offers made to them,
as they are firm believers that with
the poor crop coming, buyers will
appreciate fine old goods later on,
and pay better figures next fall.

S. L. Goldberg & Sons are mak-
ing a packing of Tumbadero to-
bacco in Alquizar.

Hamburger Bros. & Co. , of New
York, secured, through the ener-
getic and conscientious Sol Ham-
burger some 500 bales of the choic-
est Vuelta Abajo, Partido and Re-
medios fillers.

Cano y Hno. sold this week 400
bales of new Partidos, including
botes and picadura, and made a
contract with the same local factory
for I, coo bales more to arrive from
the country. Don Manolin says, he
could have sold perhaps his entire
escojidas of Partidos aud Vuelta
Abajo to arrive, but as this might

be unfair treatment to his Northern
friends, who have always relied upon
this house, he is bound to take no
advantage, and will reserve a fair
share for them.

Jorge, P. Castaneda & Co. sold
also about 400 bales of new Partido
to a cigar factory here, and made a
contract for future delivery from
the country for 1,000 bales more to
come. Neither will they neglect to
protect their Northern friends.

some 1,250 bales of the old and new
crop this week.

J. Bernheim & Sons bought some
1,200 bales of old Remedios and

of old Vuelta Abajo and Partido
fillers.

Adolfo Moeller has bought some
Partido of the finest growth in
bundles in the country and is
actively pushing his escojida along
in Guira de Melena.

Suarez & Co . , better known under
the name of the factory, "La Flor
de J. S. Murlas & Co., is to-day one
of our first Vuelta Abajo factories
in Havana, having besides branches
in Byuacal and Santiago de las
Vegas. Counting from the time of
its foundation under the name of
"La Flor de J. S. Murias & Co."
by its late founder, Don Jose Suarez
Murias, in Byuacal, a town eighteen
miles west of Havana, it is now
about twenty five years old. The
present managers are his sons, Don
Eduardo and Don Aurelio, with a
younger brother, Don A n t e r o
Suarez, who hag a smaller interest.
The chief markets for their cigars
have been the United Kingdom and
Germany, while the United States
are beginning to appreciate more
and more the excellent quality of
their aroma, and orders are increas
ing, notwithstanding the high duties
North. Their cigars are shipped,
however, to every part of the globe ■
where Havana cigars are consumed. ;
The output of the factory averages
100,000 cigars a day, and including
clerks and help getting wages by
the month, the factory supports
nearly 1,500 wage earners. Don:
Eduardo Suarez is the head of the
house, a comparatively young man
still, but he carries his responsibili
ties well. He is at the head of a,
concern doing a business in cigars
of $1 500,000 a year. Don Eduardo
has the able assistance of his two
brothers.

The firm always carries a large
stock of the choicest Vuelta Abajo
to be had, and since it uses only
this leaf in the production of its ci-
gars, consumers of its brands are
sure to get only the legitimate aroma
of the best Vuelta Abajo grown.

Jorge, P.Castaneda & Co.— This
well established leaf house has ac-
quired fame and reputation almost
from the start, away back in the
nineties, for their square dealings,
for they handle chiefly the best se-
lected factory vegas of the Vuelta
Abajo and Tumbadero districts,
where they possess extensive farms
of their own. Senor S. Jorge is
constantly supervising the escojida
in San Antonio de las Banos, while
Don Y. P. Castaneda attends to the

office in Havana, with occasional

trips to the districts mentioned.

The third member of the firm, Don

Eleutesio Pascual, resides in New

York habitually, only coming to

Havana for a short trip now and

then.

This firm is composed of Cuban

gentlemen in the truest sense of the

word. Their strict attention to

business and their upright dealings

have placed their firm on a sure and

lasting babis.

A TRIPLE HOLIDAY.

Many cigar manufacturers of this
city closed down on Thursday of
last week and remained closed until
Monday morning, some of them
using the opportunity for stock
taking.

ANOTHER SELLING OUT RUMOR.

JEFFERiONIAN BRAND.

J. Bayuk some time ago placed
upon the market a new brand of
cigars called the Jeffersonian, which
is doing very nicely, and though it
has been out only a short time it is
almost his best seller.

NEW STORE BOOMING.

The rumor that one of our largest 1 Joseph Way, who opened a cigar
cigar manufacturing establishments store at 1317 Market street last
had been approached by the Ameri February, is doing exceptionally
can Cigar Co., has been revived, well, and declares his success is far
but it is again strenuously denied, beyond his expectations.

IN THE OLD DOMINION.

E. Miles, with E. G. Steane &
Co., is spending his vacation with
his uncle, the well-known tobacco
manufacturer, John Carroll, at
Lynchburg, Va.

APPROPRIATE SEASON FOR PATRICK
HENRY.

The Patrick Henry cigar is one
of the most popular at all the parks.
The trade on this brand is looked
after by C. Francis Watkins, who
also conducts a cigar store on Ridge
avenue. Mr. Watkins had laid in
quite a supply of fireworks for the
Fourth and sold out completely.
He says that the Patrick Henry ci-
gar sell as well as the fireworks,
and that he is meeting with elegant
success.

FRANK TELLER BACK AGIAN.

Frank Teller has returned from
a successful western business trip.
He reports trade in the west to be

rushing and the prospects bright.

PUSHING THE MARCELLO.

The familiar face of Henry Ash-
burner is seen at all the leading
stores of the city, exploiting the
Marcello brand of Duncan & Moor-
head. Mr. Ashburner is well-
known, having been city salesmen

for the above firm for years.

HAVANA SHORTS, AMERICANOS,

H. M. Weaver & Son are meeting
with elegant success in this city and
nearby towns, and are well pleased
with the results obtained by their

city salesman, "Doc." Server, on
their Havana Shorts and Ameri-
canos. They are also doing very
nicely with the Natural Leaf smok-
ing tobacco of R. H. Fishburne &
Co., for which firm they are sole
agents in this city. They have
placed packages of the goods at the
different retail stores, so that their
customers can have a sample smoke
gratis

THOUGHT IT WAS THE HON. I- B.

A number of members of the ci-
gar trade got quite a start the other
day when a New York paper was
j circulated giving account of a quiet
' wedding in the Metropolis, wherein
Frank Robertson was one of the
contracting parties. Of course they
reasoned that it was our own Francis
B, of *'Match-It" cheroot fame, and
many were the remarks as to how
I sly he was in keeping the affair
from the knowledge of his friends
in the trade. But, he pleads "not
guilty."

— M. S. Meyer & Co., cigar
dealers of Milwaukee, Wis., have
brought suit against nine insurance
companies to force a satisfactory
settlement of a loss by fire recently
sustained by them.

— Leavitt P. Bissel and J. Sulli-
van, of Suffield, Conn., have in-
vented a new leaf tobacco sizing
device.

Frank Dominguez, of E. A.
Calves & Co., has received a cable-
gram from Mr. Calves, wh© is at

DOWN TO BUSINESS AGAIN.

Charles Hippie, of Hippie Bros.,

divisions; one contained a half

plaster, while the other division was
presumably intended for carrying
postage stamps. No advertising
matter of any kind was stamped on
the tray, but on the leather case was
stamped the following "ad" on the
outside :

The intervention of a double holi-
day has naturally curtailed the
volume of business done during the
past six days. July has, however,
begun in a fairly satisfactory manner
and indications now are that it will
prove to be an averaf^ingly good
month.

Holders of Connecticut and other
wrapper tobacco had no diflficulty
in interesting buyers, while good
filler stock of all types has proven
most available.

Sumatra has been selling only in
moderate quantities, but transac-
tions have been fairly numerous.

Havana is moving fairly well. A
generally good feeling prevails, and
prices remain firm.

Bleike's Novelties,

W. T. Bleike, a wholesale cigar-
ist at Houston, Texas, is a firm be-
liever in the advantage of advertis-
ing in every possible way. He is
the author of many catchy little
novelties in the line of printed
matter. His latest adoption, how-
ever, has lately been sent out to his
customers. It consisted of a small
leather case, containing a metal
tray with a sliding cover of the

The Artful Bliggs.
"My love," said Mr. BUggs,
this is our wedding anniversary."
Mrs. Bliggs beamed. "So it is!"
she said.

"And it has been our custom to
make each other a present on this
occasion," suggested Bliggs.
Mrs. Bliggs concurred.
"Now I should like to offer a
suggestion," said Bliggs, in an off-
hand way, "and it is this: as I am
not good at selecting presents, sup-
pose I make you a present of money
instead!"

Mrs. Bliggs was delighted. Bliggs
gave her /^2 .

Later in the day Mrs. Bliggs
asked her other half what he would
like best for a present.

"A box of cigars, my dear!"
said Bliggs. 'TThose two pounds a
box, you know, down at Smok-
em's."

Mrs. Bliggs brought them up
after dinner, and it was only toward
bedtime that she began missing
something.

"Why! "she exclaimed, "Where's
my present, my dear?"

"Truly, I don't know, my love,"
said Bliggs. "I gave you ^2 this
morning "

But a curtain of charity hangs
over the other chapter— which, after
all, is quite another story.-Tit-Bits.

The daisy

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma
•chint on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by
Huy one, and operatives can b«
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one siaiid; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence ol the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.

PARMENTER CIGAR POCKETS are the GREATEST
of WIINJNERS for SECURING TRADE.

Lipscbutz^s Business Proposition,

B. Lipschutz, manufacturer of
the "44" cigar, which is meeting
with a good local sale, some time
ago publicly announced that his
factory, which is on Filbert street
near Thirteenth, was at all times
open to the inspection of the public.
This innovation proved a success,
and was promptly followed by other
advertising ideas which have been
equally attractive and profitable.
He has been advertising extensively
of late in street cars and on the
steam lines, and regarded the un-
dertaking as a success. Recently,
however, he issued a neat little
brochure. It began with a picture
of Mr. Lipschutz, opposite which
was this paragraph:

"This is a picture of me. I do not
print it because I am vain, but as a
business proposition. I want you
to know me, and I want to know
you.

Trade is based on confidence.
To get confidence, it is necessary
to know each other. I want you
to feel that when you get a cigar
with the name of Lipschutz on the
box, it is a good one.

"My cigars are made by hand —
every one."

The accompanying cut shows
Mr. Lipschutz in the act of ex-
amining some goods made at his
factory. It is said that his entire
output is carefully examined by
him before being packed and offered
for sale.

Suction Machines a Success

There is no longer a question of doubt
about the success of Suction Machines
for Cigar Making. Their success is a
proven fact, but the question of getting
THE BEST is now the all-important
matter. It has also been proven that

The Suction Tables offered by the

Liberman Manufacturing Co.

are the Most Successful.

They have met the competition of other
machines, and have been Adopted by
Leading Cigar Manufacturers of the
Country, in preference to other ma-
chines. Send for pamphlet.

Pipe Smokers Live hongest.

Mrs. Cynthia Handrex, of West
Monroe, was loo last week and
gave a picnic in honor of her birth-
day. She digs in the garden. She
is outdoors all she can be. She
eats three square meals a day. and
sleeps like a top. Fortunate among
women, she has never seen a rail-
road train, a steamboat or a trolley
car She went to Oswego once in
her childhood, and that has been
all her travel On this birthday
jshe recited "Thanatopsis." How
I has she educated herself to live a
hundred years and more? Her sys-
tem ot training is simple. "I don't
know why I have lived so many
\ ears," she says, "unless it is be-
cause I use tobacco. I have smoked
a pipe since my forty third year
three times a day." Memorandum
for aspirants to longevity: At 43.
begin to smoke a pipe three times a
day. Cigars will not do. We have
no prejudice against cigars, but the
smoking centenarians seem to be
pipe-smokers. — N. Y. Sun.

The Wisdom of Mr. Wise.

At the thirty second annual meet
ing of the National Board of Trade
in New York city, the other day,
O. Waldo Smith said, in the course
of a discussion of a resolution per-
taining to a proposed trade mark
registration law:

"In answer to my good friend, I
can only say that I really do not
know much about trade mark law
Years ago I had two or three cases
in litigation, as my friend, Judge
Wise perhaps knows. There is
certainly no higher authority on
trade-mark law than Mr. Morris S.
Wise, so far as I know and believe;
and that would be conceded by all
who know his work in that direc
tion. It is a very remarkable thing
— when lawyers usually find their
profit in the ambiguity and uncer
tainty of the law — that we should
find here a man of such public
spirit, who makes his mon^y and
his living out of litigation and fight-
ing over the trade mark law, going,
as he has with me, before Com
mittees of Congress to try to get a
plain and simple trade-mark law
passed that will give everybody his
rights, so that everybody will know
just what his rights are. That is
just what Mr. Wise wants. What
ever I have done, has been done
under his influence and at his insti-
gation. He has been working for
this reform for twenty years."

New York Leaf Market.

Business in the New York leaf
market last week had but four days
to its credit, for Friday was the
glorious Fourth, and on Saturday
most of the leaf men gave them-
selves and their help an additional
holiday. The present week opened
more briskly than many which had

gone before, and there is a feeling
of animation in the market which
promises well for the balance of the
season.

LANCASTER'S REPORT

The purchases by several large
houses during the past ten days
have augmented the local transac-
tions considerably, have had a good
effect upon the market generally,
and nearly all houses were benefited
more or less.

The young plants are now mak-
ing rapid progress. The warm rain
of Thursday of last week, followed
by warmer nights, has had a most
wholesome effect upon the newly
planted crop. {

brands to the public last week
styled the Northern Light and Uni-
versal. He is pleased with his
success thus far.

Cigar manufacturer John J. Roth
received an order for 25,000 of his
Union Call brand from a Toledo,
O., firm. Mr. Roth's factory is one
of the busiest in the city.

Alfred Graver, the popular pro
prietor of the Bon Ton cigar store
at Boyertown, has disposed of his
business place to accept a position
as foreman of Eisenlohr & Bros.'
factory at that place.

Morris Kroninger, a Philadelphia
cigar manufacturer, was at Ham
burg, looking up an available site
to ertct a branch factory. He se-
cured several options.

H.S Hossler, cigar manufacturer
at gth and Elm streets, returned
from a business trip to Schenectady,
N. Y. While there he instituted a
new P. O. S. of A. Commandery, he

gar Store, has put several additional
hands to work. He is pleased with
the trade outlook and enjoys a
large run on the Pompey cigar. He
will place several new brands on the
market in the fall.

Cigar manufacturer Valentine E.
Wilk, who recently moved into his
new property at 100 West Oley
street, opened a retail cigar store in
connection with his manufacturing
business. A handsome new open
front his been placed in the build
ing, and the store room furnished
with handsome oak fixtures, show

larged his factory with a brick ad-
dition in the rear, and expects to
double his capacity. His leaders are
the Germania and Allegheny.

Latest News from York, Pa,

Contrary to anticipations, the im-
provement in the trade handling the
better claas of cigars continues,
while the demand for the cheaper
lines seems to decline.

The repeal of taxes which oc-
curred July I was the cause of a
great many manufacturers being
present in the city, in order to
register as required by the new law.
A number of them were not familiar
with the new arrangement, and
came prepared to pay the usual tax.
It is needlees to say the surprise was
agreeable.

The unused portions of the York
Paper Box Cos plant are being
utilized as a packing plac« by S. L.
Johns. The tobacco has been ar-
riving during the past week in
great quantities, and is being
handled by R. Zsch, of this city.

A number of local manufacturers
closed over the 4th until Monday,
among them being Myers, Adams
& Co , J. K. PfaltzgraflF & Co.,
Herman Warner & Co., and the
Paragon Cigar Co.

I understand thatjEdw. Levison,
recently visiting this territory in the
interests of A. Cohn & Co., New
York has been transferred to the
western trade, and his many friends
here to whom Eddie had become
very agreeable, will miss him much.
His place will be filled by his cousin
Edw. Levison, formerly with G.
Falk & Co., New York.

The factory of G. W. Gable, at

The New Wisconsin Crop

plants in the fields. The plants
take root so quickly that they
scarcely stopped growing in being
transferred from the beds to the
fields. The result has been that
there is scarcely a missing plant in
the largest fields and an even start
is secured throughout. The pro
portion of early set tobacco is much
larger than in former years, all of
which is looking splendid at this
writing. Under ordinary condi
tions the early setting of the crop
would mean an earlier harvest than
usual, which seems likely to crowd
in on other farm work at a time
when extra labor may be difficult
to secure. The full intended acre-
age is out in all sections and the

state is now in the fields."

after getting well started rotted off
at the roots. The orders from head-
quarters were, turn the whole crop
under, and reset if plants can be
obtained. And I hear that thirty
acres have been reset with new
plants, and hoping for better re-
sults."

Sunderland: "No sales of to-
bacco. Tobacco grows slow on ac-
count of cool weather. But it has
got a good start, and the plants are
quite stocky.

The tobacco growing under cloth
is about twice as large now as that
growing in the open air. No cut-
worms here this year."

Everything remains very quiet
here in the valley. We only hear ' ^^^ ^^^ started well, but only one
of the condition of the growing crop.

the lack of warm weather, and ex-
traordinary cold month of June.
But, for all, tobacco is making a
good growth, where free from un
usual conditions. Many acres have
bean harrowed or plowed up, some
on account of a mixture by a strain
of Sumatra, while others set to Su-
matra under shade has for some un-
accountable reason blossomed out
when only about a foot high, and
others affected by rot at the base
of the stalk, thus destroying the
plant. How extensive this trouble
is, we don't know; however, it is
of a very serious nature. It is to
be hoped that the matter will be
probed thoroughly and the cause
ascertained and given to the public.
The weather has been unusually
cool and snow is reported to have
fallen in the southern part of Ver-
mont, so as to make the hills look
white as late as June 26, while last
year we were having it so warm
that many deaths occurred in con-
sequence of the heat. There is but
a small quantity of last year's crop
of tobacco in the growers' hands.
Our correspondents write:
Hinsdale: "The tobacco in this
town is mostly set, and some of it
has been hoed. Plants were in
great plenty, cut worms are not
abundant. We have had the finest

field was troubled with cut worms
Brainard S. Graves & Sons have a
piece of about two acres that is
looking finely . There are two crops
here that are unsold, J.B. Packard's
and H. T. Newhall's."

Whately: "Victor D. Bard well
has sold his 1900 crop for 17 cents
through, and probably his 1901
crop, if it has sweated without dam
age, at the same price. It was to
be sampled June 30. The crop
here is looking well and as yet there
is no damage. Cut worms not very
troublesome. If we could have
some warm weather it would grow
apace."

Amherst: "Our tobacco crop is
looking much better than one could
suppose it was possible for it to look
on accout of the cold and dreary
weather we have had. The stand
was never better. The acreage
fully up to the usual amount."

South Deerfield: " The cool

weather has retarded the growth of

tobacco some, but the fields, with

very few exceptions, never were

better stocked or started so evenly.

No doubt we shall have extremely

hot weather very soon, and the

crops will grow quickly; such

growth gives a good quality. Buyers

are hunting out every pound of old

goods and paying a little better

prices. A New York house has

THB TOBACCO WORLD

WE, WISH YOU
WOULD TRY

We have been advertising the DuBriil
Dieless Suction Table pretty thoroughly and
no doubt you have read some, if not all,
of our statements and arguments in regard
to it.

You may think you see some objection
to this table ; you may think there are
some reasons why you do not want it,
or cannot afford to have it ; it may be
that in your mind there
^ are some objections
to this table, which
you think are strong
enough to warrant you
in rejecting it ; it may
be that in your opinion
that you can point
out some reasons why
this table is not a ne-
cessity to you. We
wish you would try.
"Nobody has succeeded
in doing it so f:ir, al-
though some people
have tried.

The chief reason
why more cigar manu-
facturers do not keep
pace with modern
' methods and facilities
is that they are not fully informed about
them.

We want you to be fully informed about
the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

Probably your opinion of suction tables
is already formed, and it is more than pos-
sible that you object to it on account of
the dies, rollers, and accompanying make-
shift mechanism, which have always been

so serious a disadvantage. Do not allow

this prejudice to influence you against our

new table.

We have overcome every difficulty, removed

every obstacle and now have a perfect table in

every sense of the word.

A little circular knife does the cutting, and

does it better than rollers and dies could ever

do it. This knife is easily kept sharp and

replaced, never needs
adjustment. It always
gives a good, clean edge
to the wrapper. That
makes it good for
"Clear Havanas." There
are no rollers for the
wrappers to get mashed
by or tangled up with.
The rolling is done on a
clear open surface with-
out any obstructions, as
the cutting mechanism
swings up completely
out of the way.

The picture of this
table gives you a pretty
clear idea of it, but if
you want to be informed
fully upon every detail,
write for a copy of our

new booklet on this subject. It will make

interesting reading for you.

If you want information about the best

Die Table, we can give it to you.

We make the best of that kind,

too, and you can see both kinds at our

offices.

Ask us for booklet w. s., when writing
to us.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

A Stockholder is a Sorcty.
In reply to an inquiry as to
whether a stockholder of a manu-
facturing corporation can become a
surety for the company, the Com-
missioner has ruled that if the
surety is solvent and the security
oflfered thereby is sufl&cient, the fact
that he is a stockholder in the com
pany would be no bar to his ac
ceptance as surety for the company;
and, further, that whether an indi
vidual stockholder of the corpora-
tion shall be accepted as surety on
its bond is a matter that is left to
the discretion and responsibility of
the collector under his own bond.

Plog Tobacco Packages.
The Commissioner has had occa-
sion to rule that manufacturers of
plug and twist tobacco are privi-
leged to put up such tobacco in
wooden boxes of any size, and that
on a 3^ pound package can be
used a stamp of the denomination
of three pounds, and a smaller i
ounce stamp with 1 1 coupons at-
tached, representing 12 ounces, the
two stamps and coupons represent-
ing 3^ pounds, the stamps to be
canceled by the name of the manu-
facturer and the date of use being
plainly printed on the stamp, and
the further cancellation by the use
of a steel die.

Transfer of Tobacco by a Manofactsrer.

A firm manufacturing both to

baf'co and cigars, but desiring to

discontinue the manufacture of

smoking tobacco, and having on
hand a small quantity of unstamped
manufactured tobacco, unfit for
use as smoking or chewing tobacco,
asked permission to transfer the
same to a manufacturer as material
to be used by him in making cigars.
The oflfice decided that the tobacco
could be transferred in bulk with-

Individnals and Bonding Companies as Surety.
A manufacturer who inquired
whether a collector could insist on
a manufacturer providing a surety
or guarantee company as surety,
and whether he had the right to
reject the bond when persons other
than surety companies are offered
as surety, was advised that while a
collector may accept qualified surety
or guarantee companies as sole
surety on the bonds of manufac-
turers, his rule in that respect can-
not be mandatory; and it is antici-
pated that if a manufacturer pre-
sents a bond to the collector in such
penal sum as he may require, and
the makers of the bond are solvent
and the security offered is sufficient,
the bond will be accepted; and,
further, that Collectors of Internal
Revenue are charged with the re-
sponsibility, under their own bonds,
of accepting and approving such
bonds, which must be satisfactory
to them, and they must determine
whether the security offered in any
case is sufficient.

Manufacture of Cigars for One Manufacturer
by Another.
The Commissioner has recently
ruled that a cigar manufacturer who
is assigned a registered factory
number for the place mentioned in
his statement. Form ^6j4, and de-
scribed in his bond. Form 71, is
not privileged under the Regula-
tions, No. 8, page 66, to operate
more than one factory within the
sam« limited and described factory
premises, nor to hare more than
out factory number for the same
premises; therefore manufacturers
can not manufacture cigars and
label and brand the boxes as hav-
ing been manufactured under the
registered number of some other
qualified manufacturer of cigars
and, further, than any violation of
the provisions of sections No. 3383
and 3397 of the Revised Statutes
relating respectively to labeling and
branding boxes containing cigars
should be reported to the collector
or deputy collector for the district
in which such alleged violations
have occurred.

Manufacturers' Accounts.
A manufacturer of cigars made
application for permission to report
on his monthly return, Form 7a, at
the close of each month, the num-
ber of tax-paid cigars on hand at
the factory and stamped, and the
value of all unattached stamps on
hand including those that have betn
attached to the boxes, and then on
hand, and which have never been
removed from the factory, but the
office decided that the reasons given
were not sufficient to warrant any
change being made in the manner
in which manufacturers of cigars
are required to enter daily in Book
73 the number stamped and reported
as sold or removed from the factory;
and that no change will be made
relative to the manner of reporting
the value of unattached stamps at
the beginning of the month and
those used during the month and
those remaining on hand at the close
of the month. It was advised,
further, that all cigars made must
be accounted for daily on Book 73,
and properly boxed, labeled and
stamped, that if a number of cigars
have been they must be reported
on Form 72 and Book 73 as "cigars
sold or removed." The stamps,
having been affixed to the boxes
can not be reported and accounted
for as "unattached stamps on
hand."

Subdivision Packages of Tobacco.
A manufacturer submitted for ap-
proval a pasteboard box, properly
marked, labeled and stamped with
a sixteen ounce smoking tobacco
stamp, and containing one pound
of cut plug tobacco, in thirty-two
half ounce subdivision packages,
each consisting of an unsealed light
paper wrapper, bearing the brand
name and the words, "this is an
authorized subdivision taken from
a properly stamped package." He
was advised that as the subdivisions
in the aggregate contained sixteen
ounces of tobacco properly labeled,
branded and stamped, similar pack-
ages could be used for packing his
several brands of cut plug smoking
or chewing tobacco. It was sug-
gested that the manufacturers are
not privileged to break a stamped
statutory package of tobacco for the
purpose of distributing the contents
to other unstamped packages or for
distribution to consumers through
the mails from the factory; but such
statutory stamped packages con-
taining approved subdivisions can
only be broken after the original
package, as labeled and stamped by
the manufacturer, has been removed
from the factory premises; and there-
after the manufacturer's agent or
salesman, or a dealer in tobacco,
will be privileged to distribute the
subdivisions to consumers directly

Chapter XXIX. WHEN GEORGE SAND PAINTED SNIFF BOXES FOR BREAD,

By Sam Seymour, of Seymour & Son.

She didn't know she could write, j If instead of "Indiana," "Lelia," the women of Paris. The story is
and she thought she could paint, j "Consuelo," the "Countess of well authenticated. Having failed
So when Madame Dudevant, not Rudolstadt," and those other glow- as a painter, and being driven to
yet George Sand, came up to Paris ing creations of her tireless pen, straits by her own needs and those
to make her own living, having we should have had a hundred or of her children she took to male al-
abandoned Nohant to the husband so of snuff boxes painted by an in- tire in order to better her chances of
she had never loved, and who didn't glorious Aurore de Dudevant I For getting on in the world, and also to
care a fig for her, she went to paint- it stands to reason that sin^e she secure immunity from insult in go-
ing snuff boxes. She was just an ! was what she was namely a woman ing about unattended. It is said
ordinary amateur, "of the most of gifts the most enviable, and be- she made a very handsome young
ordinary," as the French phrase
has it. And she worked so hard
and was so very good. You see
there was no Jules Sandeau, no
Alfred de Musset, and no Chopin
in her virtuous life in those strug
gling days. She was a young
mother, without a sou, and with
two young children to support.
They lived in a garret in the regu
lation style prescribed by Fate for
genius in Paris, and the bread-win-
ner of the little family of three, as
yet all unconscious of the marvel-
ous gifts which Heaven had be-
stowed upon her, undertook to paint
snuffboxes for bread. Her work

over there was, or at least so her
friends told her, there was a demand
for this class of work; for in 1835,
when Madame Dudevant came to
Paris, men and women of fashion
still snuffed, and snuffboxes of
more or less gorgeousness were in
the possession of everybody who
was somebody. But the poor
woman found after a long trial that
paint as she would there were none
to buy the work of her hands. She
went from place to place with her
wares, but the only results were
fatigue and disillusionment.

And yet her ill success was not sides an excellent femme d'affaires, man. She was slender, and straight

francs a week. Think of it, George
Sand, France's most successful
woman novelist, actually got $4 a
week for running to fires, for writ-
ing up suicides, and for her other
labors in the field of daily journal-
ism. She was so happy, too, so
well pleased with her job and with
her cigarette that made everybody
think she was a man.

The moment she achieved her
first great success with "Indiana"
George Sand discarded trousers and
waistcoat, but she always remained
loyal to the cigarette. It is said of
her that in her hand the pen was a
sceptre. In her case the definition
of genius as "an infinite capacity for
taking pains" was glorified, for of
all the toilers in the fields of the
muses she was surely one of the
hardest workers. All night long,
and every night in the week, that
indefatigable woman wrote, and
wrote, and wrote. And she smoked
innumerable cigarettes. Tobacco
was her inspiration. Upon spirals
of cigarette smoke her creative
spirit soared. Her fingers were
stained with nicotine. The paint
brushes she had long ago discarded
could not have streaked them a
finer or a deeper brown.

Glorious George Sand I Immortal
proof that tobacco is the patron
saint of brains! Weaver of spells
with words! How fortunate for the
history of letters in France that,
when your genius awoke andlearned
to trust its own wings, the snuff-
taking habit was going out and the
cigarette smoking habit coming inl

And yet, behold, how the muta-
tions of time are bringing the snuff
habit back again!

Will the literary chronicler of
2002 have to recoid, I wonder, how
some other George Sand coming to
New York, or Paris, or London, in
1903, say, discovered, after a vain
attempt at literature, that her true
vocation was in painting snuff
boxes? Who shall say? Perhaps
that genius is already at work right
here among us in New York, or
Philadelphia, today. The market
I am told, is making ready to wel-
come her.

What to Do to Be Saved.

A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.

IX.

Having digested what the brilliant
Darius of Persia, monarchist and
monarch, had to say concerning the
dangers resulting fromcombinations
ofpowerfulindividualsin a republic,
now turh to and read what the very
earnest and modern Theodore
Roosevelt has to say on the subject.
In his Fourth of July speech at
Pittsburg, the President said :

I am speaking in one of the great
industrial centres, not merely of
America, but of the world. [Ap-
plause.] A million people stand
grouped in a small radius around
the spot where we now are. The
growth of your cities within this
radius has been one of the most
striking phenomena of this day, and
here, therefore, you are brought face
to face with those problems which
aflfect our entire civilization at the
opening of this new century.

The tremendous rush of our in-
dustrial development which has
brought in its train so much that is
good has also of necessity brought
somewhat that is evil. The very
intensity of the promises that have
been made has meant that new and
indefinitely diflScult problems have
arisen which we must strive to solve
as best we may. Under our form of
government, with its great decen-
tralization of power, some of those
problems must be solved through
the work of private individuals
working by themselves; others by
the association into organized bodies
of groups of private citizens, and
others yet through the various gov-
ernmental agencies of municipality,
state and nation.

Especially great, especially diffi-
cult arc the problems caused by the
growth and concentration of great

individual, and, above all, great
corporate fortunes. It is immensely
for the interest of the country that
there should be such individual and
corporate wealth, as long as it is
used aright, and when not used
aright then it becomes a serious
menace and danger. [Applause].

The instruments, the methods
with which we are to meet these
new problems must in many cases
themselves be new, but the purpose
lying behind the use of those
methods,of those instruments must,
if we are to succeed, be now, as in
the past, simply in accord with the
immutable lawsof justice and right.
[Applause.]

We may need, and in my belief
we shall need new legislation, con-
ceived in no radical or revolution-
ary spirit, but in a spirit of common
sense, common honesty and resolute
desire to face facts as they are. [Ap
plause ] We shall need then new
legislation, but while laws are im-
portant it is infinitely more import-
ant that theyshould be administered
in accordance with the principles
that have marked honest administra-
tion from the beginning of recorded
history. [Applause ]

In the last analysis the most im-
portant department of civilized
government is the Department of
Justice. Think what it means. The
Department of Justice! Justice,
which means that each man, rich or
poor, big or small, strong or weak,
shall have his rights and shall not
be allowed todo wrong to his fellows.
[Applause].

And you here of this city have a
right to feel proud in your repre
seutative in the Cabinet, the man
under whom we can guarantee that
the Department of Justice will be
such in fact as well as in name.
[Great applause and cries of
"Knox."]

When it comes to practical per-
formance the ounce of pei;/ormance
outweighs the ton of purpose, [Ap-
plause] and under Mr. Knox there
has been very much more than an
ounce of performance [applause]
and, oh, my fellow countrymen, as
we face these infinitely difficult
problems let us ever keep in mind
that though we need the highest
qualities of the intellect in order to
work out proper schemes for their
solution, yet we need a thousand
times more, what counts for many,
many, many times as much as in-
tellect, we need character [applause]
character — that compound of hon-
esty and courage and common sense
which will avail us more in the
long run than any brilliancy on the
stump or in devising legislative
means and methods.

The brilliancy is good; we need
the intellect; we need the best in-
tellect we can get; we need the best
intelligence, but we need still more
character. We need common sense,
common honesty and resolute cour-
age [applause] ; we need what Mr.
Knox has shown, the character that
will refuse to be hurried into any

unwise or precipitate movement by
any clamor, whether hysterical or
demagogic, and, on the other hand,
the character that will refuse to be
frightened out of a movement which
he thinks it is right to undertake by
any pressure, stillless by any threat,
express or implied. [Applause.]

Gentlemen, we have great prob
lems. We can only solve them by
degrees. We can only solve them
by doing well each particular bit
of work as it comes up for solution
Much can be done along the lines
of supervision and regulation of the
great industrial combinations which
have become so marked a feature
in our civiliiation, but if we reck-
lessly try, without proper thought,
without proper caution, to do too
much, we shall either do nothing
or else we shall work a ruin that
will be felt most acutely among
those of the citizens who are most
helpless.

It is no easy task to deal with the
great industrial tendencies. To
deal with them in a spirit of pre-
sumptuous and rash folly, above all
to deal with them in a spirit of envy
and hatred and malice, would be to
invite disaster; a disaster which
would be so wide-spread that this
country would rock to its founda
tions. The Mississippi sometimes
causes immense damage by flood.
You can't dam it and stop the floods,
but you can regulate them and con-
trol them by leyees. Youcanregu
late and control the current; you
can eliminate its destructive features
and you can do it only by studying
what the current is and what your
own powers are. [Applause ]

It is just exactly so in dealing
with the great tendencies of our in
dustrial civilization. We c%n not
turn back the wheels of progress.
If we could it would mean the ab
solute destruction of just such in-
dustrial centres as this. We shall
either do nothing, or we shall do
damage if we strive ignorantly to
achieve the impossible, but t, at
fact does not excuse us for failure
to strive to do what is possible.

Special legislation is needed
Some of that legislation must come
through municipalities, some
through States, some through the
National Government, but above
and beyond all legislation we need
honest and fearless administration
of the laws as they are on the statute
book. [Applause] Honesty and
fearless administration of those laws
in the interest neither of the rich
man, as such, nor of the poor man,
as such, but in the interest of exact
and equal justice to all alike, rich
and poor, and such administration
you will surely have while Mr.
Knox remains as Attorney General
in the Cabinet at Washington.

How to Manufacture Cigars
for Export.
O. G. Spaulding, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in a recent
letter to a cigar manufacturer points
out the following regulations for
the manufacture of cigar* for export:

On the exportation of cigars
manufactured wholly from leaf to-
bacco, imported in bales, and pay-
ing various rates of duty per pound,
according to the composition of the
bale, under the provisions of para-
graph 213 of the existing tariff, a
drawback will be allowed equal in
amount to the duty paid on such
imported material used, less the
legal deduction of i per cent.

Before manufacturing cigars for
export with claim for a rebate of
the duties paid, a portion of the
factory must be securely set apart
by means of suitable partitions, to
be used solely for the purpose, and
the special manufacturing record
must be made to show separately
each bale of tobacco received there-
in, with its import mark and num-
ber, its ascertained dutiable weight,
the duty paid per pound, and the
total duty paid thereon, together
with such other particulars as are
provided for in Form "A."

The number of each size name of
cigars manufactured each day and
during each month must appear in
the said record, and the recapitula-
tion provided for each page, must
show in detail the manufacturing
results for each month. The cigars
manufactured each month must be
given a serial designation, as indi-
cated in the prescribed form, each
box being marked plainly with the
said serial designation, and the
manufactures of the month must
be stored separately in the space set
apart for the purpose, for ready
identification.

The preliminary entry must show
separately the marks and numbers
of the shipping packages, and the
contents thereof, describing in de-
tail the number of boxes in each
package containing cigars of the
same quantity, size name, and serial
designation.

The drawback entry must show
separately the total number of ci-
gars exported of the several size
names and a given serial designa-
tion, and must further show, in ad-
dition to the usual averments, that
the cigars were manufactured of the
material and in the manner set
forth in the manufacturer's sworn
statement, dated December 6, 1901.

As a prerequisite of liquidation
the manufacturer must file with the
I collector, to form a part of the draw-
1 back papers, a sworn certificate of
j manufacture, which must be an
'exact transcript from the special
manufacturing record, covering the
cigars only of a given serial designa-
tion, as per Form "B."

Each such certificate must con-

The Buropean Tobacco
Regies.

Phii,adki,phia, Pa , July 3, 1902
Dbar Mr. Medicine Man :

Is it true, as stated in the article
quoted to day in The Tobacco
World from the Philadelphia Record
that the tobacco business is a state
monopoly in Russia as it is in
France? Roy McA.

The Answer.
No. The cultivation, manufac-
ture and sale of tobacco in Russia
are free, as is the case in the United
States and Germany. The regie
countries of Europe are France,
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Roumania,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Austria, Hun-
gary, and Turkey in Europe.

The oldest of the regies of Europe
is that of France, which was estab-
lished in 1674 by Colbert, the fam-
ous finance minister of Louis XIV.
As established by Colbert, the
French regie continued uninter-
ruptedly, save for a few months in
the years 1 7 1 9 and 1 7 20, until 1 79 c .
During the brief period between the
two years just mentioned the culture
of tobacco was prohibited entirely
through the kingdom, and the only
tobacco sold in France was that
which was imported into the coun-
try from other lands.

Just prior to the revolution the
right to buy, to harvest, and to
manufacture tobacco was granted to
certain special licensees, and but
three provinces of the kingdom had
the right to grow it. These were
Franche Comte, Flanders and
Alsace. The manufacture of to-
bacco was permitted only at Paris,
Dieppe, Morlaix, Tonneins, Havre,
Toulouse and Valenciennes.

By the law of December 20-27,
1 79 1, the National Assembly made
the culture, manufacture and sale of
tobacco entirely free. A brief ex-
periment suflBced to show that the
consequent loss to the state revenue
was enormous, and a proposition to
return to the ancient order of things
was accepted readily. The law of
the 22d Brumaire, VII. year, reim
posed a tax upon the manufacture
of tobacco. The decree of June 1 6,
1808, made it obligatory upon
farmers to obtain a license to grow
tobacco from the fiscal agents ol the
government. These gradual steps
; to the rehabilitation of a state mo
: nopoly in tobacco in France termi
; nated in 18 10 by the decree of No-
vember 29, which was supplemented
by that of January 12, 181 1, in the
investiture in the state of the sole
right to manufacture and sell to-
bacco.

The administration of the French
regie is directed from the fiscal de-
partment of the government. The
practical management of afifairs is
in the hands of managers who act in
a semi independent manner.

The culture of tobacco in France
is permitted only in the following
provinces, viz: the Maritime Alps,
Bouches du Rhone, Dordogne,
Gironde, Hie et Vilaine, Lot, Lot
et-Garonne, Meurthe et-Moselle,
Nord, Pas de Calais, Haute- Saone,
Savoie, Haute Savoie, Var, Haute-
Pyrenees, Landes, Puy de-Dome,
Isere, Meuse et Vosges. It is also
permitted in Algeria.

The lot of the licensed tobacco
farmer in France is not a happy one.
Argus-eyed inspectors are forever
overlooking his fields, and they re
quire the strictest possible account
of every leal that his labor causes to
grow. So severe and unremitting
is this surveillance that it precludes
entirely the possibility of secreting
even the minutest trifle of the har-
vest for private consumption.

The cities of France in which the
state tobacco factories are located
are Bordeaux , Chateauroux , Dieppe,
Havre, Lille, Lyons, Marseilles,
Morlaix, Nancy, Nantes, Nice,
Paris, Riom, Tonneins and Tou-
louse.

The retailing of tobacco in France
is confined to pensioners of the
government.

There are altogether about 45 000
I shops in France where tobacco is
thus retailed. None of them yields
I a great amount of revenue, yet each
I vacancy is as fiercely fought for as
I are post office vacancies in the
' United States. The licenses to re-
I tail tobacco in France are bestowed
upon war veterans or their widows

and upon other favorites of the party
in power.

The total annual revenue to the
French Government from the to-

bacco monopoly is about $47,000,-
000.

Next to that of France, the old-
est tobacco regie in Europe is that
of Spain, which was established as
an institution of state in 1730. The
Spanish monopoly was farmed out
to a chartered company in 1826.
The charter runs usually for twelve
years. That of the present licensee,
the Compania Arrendataria de Ta-
bacos, expires in 1903. The com-
pany pays to the state annually
about $21,000,000.

The Austrian regie dates from
1784. The cultivation of tobacco
in Austria is limited chiefly to
Galicia and Dalmatia. The farmer
may sell to no other purchaser than
the state, which fixes the purchase
price. There are seven large fac
tories in Austria for the storage of
leaf tobacco.

There are in Austria twenty-
eight state tobacco factories. The
general offices of the directors of
the monopoly in Austria are in
Vienna. Of all the tobacco regies
in Europe, that of Austria appears
to be the most intelligently con-
ducted. The cigars, cigarettes,
smoking and chewing tobacco and
snuflF of Austria are vastly better
than those turned out at the govern
ment factories of France, Spain or
Italy. Austria's revenue from to-
bacco is about $25 ,000, 000 annually.

The tobacco monopoly of Hun-
gary dates from 1868. The popu
lation of the county is about 18,-
000,000 and the state's annual rev-
enue from tobacco is about $14,-
000,000.

The tobacco monopoly in Italy
owes its existence to the law of
August 24, 1868. The chief state
factories are at Rome, Naples, and
Florence. The cigars of Italy are
the so called "Virginias," or rat
tails, monstrosities with a straw
through each of them. They are
presumably made from American
hogshead leaf tobacco, but, as a
matter of fact, the ingredients of
many of them have no relation to
tobacco grown in America or else
where, being such things as cotton
waste, lime, splinters of wood or
what you will of cheap and nasty.
Latterly, while the alien constitu-
ents have been excluded from the
cigars made at Rome, or Naples,
or Florence, the material is as cheap
as ever and the workmanship most
inferior. Nevertheless, Italy derives
an annual revenue of about $35,-
000,000 from its tobacco monopoly.

The tobacco monopoly of Rou
mania was established in 1868.
The population of the state is 5,-
500,000, and the annual revenue
from tobacco, chiefly from the sale
of cigarettes. Is said to be $7,500,-
000, which would make the Rou-
manian monopoly the most valua-

ble in the world, in proportion to
its population.

Little Portugal, with a popula-
tion only a trifle less than that of
Roumania, has a tobacco monopoly
modeled after that of Spain. It
has four factories, two in Lisbon,
and two In Oporto, which jointly
give employment to 1,200 men and
2,500 women. The state's annual
revenue from tobacco Is about $4,-
000,000.

The regie of Turkey Is capitalized
at ^r. 2,000,000. It Is practically
an English corporation. It manu-
factures chiefly hand made cigar-
ettes out of Turkish tobacco. It
has four factories, one respectively
in Constantinople. Smyrna, Salonlca
andSamsoun. The factory In Con-
stantinople Is In the Djubally
quarter of the city, near the new
bridge across the Golden Horn,
and Is a thoroughly modern Insti-
tution.

The regie manufactures 200,000,-
000 cigarettes annually, and about
8 000,000 kilograms of tobacco.
The bulk of the regie's production
Is exported; the cigarettes find their
way Into the different countries of
Europe, and most of the tobacco Is
forwarded to Egypt, where It Is
consumed In the manufacture of
cigarettes.

Nominally the culture of tobacco
In Turkey Is restricted, as It Is in
France; but, as a matter of fact, it
is practically free. All that the
law requires Is that the farmer, de-
siring to engage In tobacco culture,
shall obtain his license from the
government, and these licenses are
granted as a matter of course. Many
Turkish farmers grow tobacco sur-
reptitiously, and most others pro-
'duce«a great deal more than they
report to the regie. In this man-
ner both the government and the
regie are defrauded out of a great
deal of money every year.

The Medicine Man.
The Brand for Him.

The Minneapolis Journal tells
the following story of the use that
can be made of some well-known
cigar titles:

There is a former public official
In Minneapolis who has spent much
of his time ever since he was born
bewailing the fact that he has never
really grown up. What is more,
his lack of stature Is accentuated
by the Junoesque proportions of his
wife, and occasionally the discrep-
ancy In their sizes make fun for
their friends.

On a rainy night, recently, this
former city official and his better
seven- eighths stepped Into a corner
cigar store to await their car. He
called to the proprietor and asked
for a cigar. Then, looking Into
the case, he read aloud: "Henry
George; I am for men." "Give
me one of those," he said.

"Walt a minute, Dick," called
out a friend, who had stepped In-
side just In time to hear the request.
"Don't do that. Give him a
Chllds."

Late News from Cuba.

The market continues active with
prices firm, and while the volume
of actual sales is a trifls below 4,
000 bales, some trades are pending,
which if realized, will swell the
total above this figure. As regards
old and new tobacco, an even
division into two parts would about
represent each growth that was
taken out of our market. The
latter, of course, consisting of
Vuelta Abajo and Partido, so called
factory vegas, while the former
were fillers of old Remedios, Vuelta
Abajo and Partido. The stock of
old goods for sale in Havana has
not alone shrunk through sales, but
to a considerable extent it has also
been eliminated from our market
through transfers to the New York
market by shipments from first
hands, and this is bound to tell in
the future, when buyers flock down
here in the fall.

New Crop.

Pinar del Rio reports say that
Don Manuel Sanchez, "Praviano,"
bought for the important firm of
Garcia & Co

caragua speak of sales of the raw

leaf in bundles up to $12 per qtl.,

stems included, which would bring

the cost of the first capaduras as

high, if not higher, than last year.

Other districts say that no dealers

will pack this year, prefering to let

the farmers do their own escojidas,

particularly as packers in Havana

have made no money during the

last two years, therefore why should

ihey invest good money upon a

notoriously poor crop, deficient in

all the essentials which constitute

good quality?

Sr. Panego Rico, of Boston.
Departures.

Sol. Hamburger, of Hamburger
Bros. & Co., New York, left last
Tuesday, after having completed his
purchases.

Leslie Pantin sent some orders to
buy tobacco, so it shows his vaca-
tion is more or less interrupted by
the necessities of his business friends
who cannot wait until he returns to
this island. Some 200 bales were
purchased by his representative.

H. Upmann & Co. bought 250
bales of new Vuelta Abajo factory
vegas, and refuse to touch any
Partido wrappers, in order to keep
up their standard by using only the
best leaf grown in the Vuelta Abajo
exclusively.

Suarez & Co., of the famous La
Flor de J S. Murias, adhere to the
same principle, and use only Vuelta
Abajo tobacco in their factory.

Cano y Hno delivered some 200
bales under the i ,000 bale contract
made with the local factory as re-
ported last week. They are pack-
ing 35 bales daily in their Alquizar
escojida of the excellent Tumbadero
growth, while a similar number is
produced in their other Vuelta
Abajo packings. This well-known
house was founded in 1880 by Don
Rufino and Don Tomas Cano, at
66 Rayo street. It has remained
at the old stand for twenty-two
years, and from a modest and small
beginning it has grown to be one of
our first leaf houses in the trade, es-
pecially as regards so-called factory
vegas. The two original partners
have worked hard and unceasingly
from early morning to late at night,
and lived frugally ever since, thits
building up their capital steadily,
while they understood how to buy
tobacco in the country at low prices,
and thus finding no difficulty in

selling with a moderate profit to
the American buyers or manufac-
turers here. Their object has not
been to become suddenly rich and
losing their customers, but by serv-
ing the latter right to increase their
numbers and thus become a house
to last for generations to come.
Both Don Rufino and Don Tomas
are still in the prime of life, al-
though they have associated with
themselves two nephews, also
brothers, Don Carlos and Don
Manolin, who have grown up with
the house, as they commenced on
the lowest rung of the ladder some
18 and 16 years ago respectively,
until now the former attends to the
buying in the country, while the
latter waits upon their customers
in town, and attends to all details,
registering bales upon arrival from
the country, so making sure no
mistake has occurred at their es-
cojidas. At present they have
four large packings of their own,
6,000 bales in Alquizar turning out
40 bales daily of the highly appre-
ciated Tumbudero leaf; 2,000 bales
in Artemisa, producing 20 bales per
day, and two escojidas in Palacios
and Ovas, making each 1,500 bales
and involving about 1 5 bales daily
of the best Vuelta Abajo leaf grown.
It requires over $600,000 capital to
run these four packings.

Jorge, P. Castaneda & Co. sold
100 bales of Tumbadero wrappers
to cigar manufacturers here this
week, and continue to work like
beavers to complete their San An-
tonio de los Banos escojidas as
quickly as possible.

Aixala y Co., having sold every-
thing received from the country up
to now and disposed of their old
goods, are likewise pushing their
various escojidas for all they are
worth, so as to be able to keep on
hammering the iron while it is hot.

Jose Santalla y Co. received some
500 bales of Vuelta Abajo and
Partido tobacco from their packings,
but are not yet ready to sell any
part.

Sobrinos dt Antero Gonzalez
sold over 1,100 bales this week,
thus keeping at the front, and at
the same time they are receiving
heavy shipments of new tobacoo
from the country almost daily.

Garcia & Co. have made no sales
as yet, as Don Manuel is in no
hurry to commence selling until he
knows more of the result of their

LANCASTER'S REPORT.

The leaf trade during the past
week has been quiet but steady,
that is to say, nearly all dealers
have been doing some business, but
yet the volume of transactions is
hardly satisfactory and certainly
not up to expectations. The several
warm days of this week have im-
proved the growing crop wonder-
fully, and If good weather continues
during the remainder of the season,
with no hail storms or other inci-
dental damages to which tobacco is
very susceptible, it may yet be an
averagingly good crop. The acre-
age is up to that of last year. The

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
'Will not streak or mark wrap
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpenlng machine that has
€vcr been offered.

The sliding top used in con
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.

hail storms which passed through
some parts of the county last week,
it has been ascertained, did very
little damage to the young plants.

A gang of thieves, who have
been operating through this county
for more than a year past, made
quite a haul of Sumatra leaf, about
three bales, from the factory of A.
W. Mentzer & Sons,. at Ephrata,
Pa., on Thursday night. It was
learned that the robbers had the
tobacco secured in a barn near
Ephrata. Guards were stationed,
and early next morning four men
appeared with a two horse team
Three of them entered the barn
while one of them patroled the out
side. The guards called upon him
to surrender, but he started to run.
The guards fired at him with shot
guns and he dropped to his knees,
but quickly regained his feet and
reached the wagon. His three
companions ran out of the barn at
the report of the guns, and also
reached the wagon and drove rapidly
away. The stolen tobacco was
found buried deep in the hay mow.
No arrests have been made as yet,
but it is claimed that the robbers
are known, or that at least a clue
to their identity has been found.

The eyes of the tobacco growers
in Lancaster county, and their
number is by no means few, are
turned almost to a man to the State

Experimental Tobacco Station, on
the farm of Dr. H. M. Alexander,
about a mile north of Marietta.
Here an eff"ort is being made under
the direction of Prof. Freer, for the
1 State, and County Commissioner
Greider, locally, to grow Cuban and
Sumatra wrappers under cover It
is hoped that the success attained by
the Connecticut experiments can be
duplicated in this county.

The area enclosed at the local ex-
perimental station is 264 feet long
by 100 feet wide, half an acre of
measured ground being planted. On
the tract 7,130 plants have been
placed in rows thirty four inches
j apart. A distance of twelve inches
separates the plants. At a height
I of nine feet, over continuous rows
j of locust posts,is stretched the cloth,
I which was made purposely for such
\ experiments. This was done at a
cost of I5176. The atmosphere in
the tentlike structure is much
warmer than that surrounding, and
the danger from bugs and insects is
obviated.

The plants were set at three sepa-
rate times, on May 31, June 7, and
June 14, and are, in consequence in
three stages of growth. The first
planted are now from eight to six-
teen inches high. The plants set
in the open at the same time the
first enclosed plants were set are
now only one third this size. The

advantage of the enforced growth is
plainly seen. The gain in size is
equivalent to two weeks' growth.

During the thirty days since the
plants were set out three and three-
fourths inches of rain have fallen,
so they have had abundant moisture.
As the evaporation is much slower
inside the tent there is now enough
moisture to last for about a month
if no more falls meantime.

But one drawback has so far ap
peared. A great many grasshoppers
have been hatched out, but these
were successfully combated. A
flockof turkeys was turned in among
them and the danger was passed.

Recently Thomas C Holloway,
from the Agricultural Department,
Washington, visited the station,
having just come from the Connec-
ticut Valley experiment stations.
He stated that the local plants were
finer than any he had seen in that
region, either under tents or on the
outside.

The tobacco trade, not only of
the county but of the State and
country, is greatly interested in the
State experiment and much hinges
on the results obtained at the little
half-acre plot near Marietta.

C. G. Longenecker & Co. began
operations as cigar manufacturers
at May town, last week, in the fac
tory formerly occupied by John D.

Henderson. It is their intention
to operate a union factory.

C. Ruppin has moved his factory
from this city to Akron, Pa. It is
stated that he has given up the use
of the union label. At Akron he
will occupy the large frame build-
ing formerly occupied by Snader
Bros., who have removed to the
Simon P. Hess building, almost
opposite.

Wolf & Hackman, at Akron,
will soon be introducing to their
trade a new brand under a private
label which they are now having
made

R S. Stauffer, formerly of Akron,
but at present at Columbia, is ex-
pecting to move again to Akron at
an early date.

E- F. Law, of Lancaster, is visit-
ing his jobbing trade in Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and New Jersey
this week. It is said that he ha»
already scheduled some very nice
orders on his regular goods, and
trade with him has been quite satis-

water are already showing beauti
ful snuflf-boxes, both ancient and
modern. At Tiflfany's, the famous
New York jewelry house, a collec-
tion of jeweled snuffboxes has
lately been put on exhibition . Nota-
ble in this collection is the jeweled
snuff box presented by the German
emperor to Rear Admiral Kirkland
of the United States navy and which
is said to have cost $5,000.

The box was given to Admiral
Kirkland when he represented this
country at the opening of the Kiel
canal. It is of large size and made
of gold worked into a beautiful and
intricate design by Zehngraf, the
artist. On the cover is a miniature
of the emperor, surrounded by a
frame composed of twenty-nine
diamonds. On each side of the
ellipse are three larger gems.

It is interesting to note the steps
by which snuff taking first rose to
fashion. Given to King Charles of
Prance by a leading diplomatist,
Nicot (whence nicotine), it finally
came within reach of the multitude
and from first to last has played an
important part in the world's his-
tory.

Catherine de Medici is said to
have been the first woman to take
snuff. Gibbon, the historian, was
an inveterate taker of snuff. Fred-

Latest News from York, Pa.

It seems, since registration is the
only requirement for dealing in to-
bacco, that a number of manufac
turers in this county have registered
for that purpose, and propose sell-

ing tobacco whenever opportunity
affords. That every manufacturer
should do this for his own good is
a recognized fact, obviating the
necessity for procuring permits
whenever a sale of tobacco is made.

Dan Woodmansee, of Spring
Grove, booked a satisfactory order
for medium priced goods, and re-
ports that, aside from the usual dull-
ness which has hitherto been ex-
perienced this season he has no
complaints to offer as to future
prospects in the way of good trade.

H. C. Schultz, manufacturer in
Hellam, has gone into the leaf
business, which he intends pushing
in connection with cigar manufac-
turing.

La Buta Cigar Co. reports trade
very good on the Hannibal Hamlin
cigar, which is made in nine differ-
ent shapes, ranging in price from
10 cents each to three for 50 cents.

The Yorkana Cigar Co. claims to
be very busy at present, making
their usual line of goods.

Judging from reports emanating
from the various leaf dealers in the
city, there must be a quantity of
bacco sold and consumed here.
This is probably the result of the
recent activity in the cigar business.

J. H. Styles has gone to Atlantic
City for a few days vacation. He
is sojourning at the Marlborough.

R. M. Granat, of Gillen & Granat,
has returned from a successful busi-
ness trip to Reading.

Herbert, son of Maj. Gillespie, of
the Gillespie Co., was unfortunate
in receiving a broken arm in an ac-
cident which occurred while driv
ing in the country a few days since

Bear Bros., of Zion's View, this
county, recently completed an addi-
tion to their factory, which gives
considerable increased facility. They
are working steadily with a full
force, and recently booked orders
which will keep them going for
some time to come.

ting up a new brick factory build-
ing and expects to take possession
in a few weeks. Business has beea
good with him all this year.

Cigar manufacturer Daniel Span-
gler, of Red Lion, has opened a
new park or summer pleasure resort
near Windsorville, to which he is
devoting considerable time.

Quite a number of cigar manu-
facturers in the vicinity of Red Lion
have experienced quite a dull spell
for some weeks past, while others
are getting some new orders.
Among the latter are A. 8. Frey &
Co., who received last week an
order of considerable importance.

J. M. McGingan resumed opera-
tion on Monday, after having been
closed down since the 4th.

Business has been fairly active
with J. W. Minnich, of Dallastown,
during the present year. Five mil-
lion cigars were shipped by him
between January i and July i , mak-
ing not a poor showing for the first
six month of 1902.

A new dwelling and factory was
lately erected by Frank R. Krout,
at Jacobus, this county, and both
are now occupied.

J. E Olp, of Jacobus, is now
fairly well filled with orders for
goods.

H. F. Kohler, of Nashville, is
preparing for a trip at an early date
through the west, and will visit the
trade in Chicago, Minneapolis and
other points.

J. E Hostetter, at Hanover, is
erecting a new dwelling in that
town, nearly adjoining his cigar
factory. He reports a fair trade at
present.

C. H. Buzby, of McSherrystown,
last week filed a petition in invol-
untary bankruptcy. His liabilities
are placed at about $25,000, and
his assests are valued at $16,000
Although his assets include some
desirable property in that town, it
is doubtful if its valuation ''ould be
fully realized at a forced sale.

Lightning struck the cigar store
of Miller & Stolley, at Davenport,
la., last week, but no serious dam-
age resulted.

Crop Reports.

CONNECTICUT.
Owing to the excessire moisture
of the last few weeks, the prospects
for a good crop of tobacco this year
are poor It is admitted that the
crop will not reach the average.
The plants grown under canvas are
said to be in even worse condition
than those grown iu the open. At
this season of the year plants should
show from twenty to twenty- five
leaves. This year they show only
seven or eight.

MASSACHUSETTS.

The Connecticut Valley tobacco
crop is in fine condition though
somewhat backward.

The shade grown Sumatra leaf
has made rapid advances in the past
two weeks. Growers complain that
the Sumatra strain became crossed
with the Havana seed leaf last sea-
son. In consequence considerable
resetting of Havana seed leaf, which
grows in the open, has been neces-
sitated.

NEW YORK.
Much rain has fallen during the
past two weeks in the Chemung
Valley and Big Flats districts. On
July 7th 3.86 inches of rain fell be-
tween 8 a. m. Saturday and 7 p. m.
on Sunday. A hailstorm also de-
stroyed many tobacco crops south
of Elmira.

PENNSYLVANIA.
Notwithstanding late copious
rains, the tobacco crop is somewhat
backward, although progressing
rapidly during the last week. Some
of the low lands have suffered lately
owing to high water, which in
several instances necessitated re-
planting. Crop is quite as large as.
last year.

WISCONSIN.
Transplanting has been completed
and the crop thus far bids fair to
become one of the best in retent
years. The ground is in an excel-^
lent condition for rapid growth.
Several crops of Sumatra under
shade are well under way.

Trade in Reading.

The cigar trade here is very busy,
and the books at the revenue office
show that the manufacturers of this
district are producing cigars at the
rate of 2,500,000 a week. This is
the largest output the trade has ever
reached. The leading manufac-
turers are rushed with work. They
are making fewer cheap cigars
than ever. Their sales of the better
grades are increasing in the east as
well as the west, where many of
their goods are sent. The number
of factories is increasing steadily.
Two new factories were opened this
week, and this is rather below the
average number. Internal Revenue
Collector Cranston and stamp clerk
Trexler report that the tobacco
trade is brisk and will be the heav-
iest every experienced. A number
of dealers have filed their forms for
the collection of the rebate due them
owing to the cut in the tax on to-
bacco, which went into effect July
I, from 9 6 10 cents per pound to
6 cents.

P. J. Blachman, has filed a bond
for a factory at 240 South Eleventh
street, in the building formerly oc-
cupied by Lotz's hat factory.
Samuel Searle has filed a bond for
a factory at Stouchsburg.

H. D. Hackman, cigar manu-
facturer at Womelsdorf, has broken
ground for a handsome new resi-
dence on East High street, that
place. He is very busy at present.

The firm of Hartman & Riegel,
cigar dealers and manufacturers,
with a store at 809 Penn street, and
factory in the rear of 27 South
Ninth street, have dissolved part-
nership, Howard W. Riegel, the
junior member, retiring. The firm
will hereafter be known as Hart-
man & Son, with A. S. Hartman
and his son Clarence the owners.
The business will be continued as
before.

The well known figure of a
"Pompey," which stands outside
of the cigar store of A. S. Orth,
35 North Fifth street, was given a
fresh coat of paint last week. Not
many years ago every well-regulated
cigar store had the large wooden
figure of an Indian or Punch, but
they are going out of style, owing
to their expensive character. To-
day there are but two used in the
city besides that of Mr. Orth. These
are owned by George R. Maltz-
berger and S. C. Ermentrout.

Morris Greenburg, of Allentown,
visited Reading to file a bond for a
cigar factory to be opened in Allen-
town.

The wet weather of the last few
weeks interfered considerably with

the cigar trade, owing to the diffi
culty in drying tobacco. A num
ber of manufacturers are running
fires in their departments where to
bacco is dried for use in making
cigars.

The largecigar factory of Stewart,
Newberger & Co., North Eighth
street, is working overtime every
evening. The firm reports this as
its best year. The working force
has been more than doubled the
past two months.

The factory of J. G. Spatz & Co.
is one of the busiest in this district.
Mr. Spatz booked a number of large
orders while on an extensive west
em trip. Their output has been
about 140,000 cigars a week for
some time. The American Empire
and the Three Martyrs are the lead
ing brands.

Harry B. Jackson has completed
making alterations to his cigar
factory in the rear of his residence.
The place has been enlarged and
two new bands put to work. Mr.
Jackson enjoys a large trade on his
Eclipse and No V^eto nickel brands,
which he has been manufacturing
the past seventeen years.

H. S. Hossler, proprietor of the
Bon Ton Factory and the Conti
nental Cigar Store, received the
registration papers for a new brand
called the El Dorado de Habana,
which he will introduce to the trade
in a few weeks. He is sending bis
product all over the state.

C. L. Scheffler is pleased with
the success his new nickel brand
styled Judge is meeting with. He
is very busy, and his factory is
obliged to run overtime in order to
get out the goods. He also enjoys
a large run on his Royal Mystery
cigar, and says the fall outlook is
good. I

Leaf Tobacco Marlcets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

There have been a few sales with
in the last few weeks at moderate
prices. Such as have been given
out range from 17 to 20 cents
through, according to quality.
Some of these 500 cases sold were
of lots held on commission, as
parties were anxious to realize on
their crops without waiting for the
sweat. There is but a small quan-
tity held in any of the towns. Hat
field probably has the largest
amount. North Hadley has two
crops, Whately has 3 lots. S. B.
Crafts has 60 cases, W. W. Sander-
son has about 300 cases and H. S.

TWAOE MARK.

By use of the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table
and the hand of the operator you get a perfect
cigar, and a perfect cigar is what we are
looking tor.

The imperfections of a machine made cigar
are many and glaring.

A machine could make a passable cigar if
every bunch were like every other bunch. Such
is not the case, but the
machine goes on working
just as if it were, and no
wrapper really and faith-
fully follows the lines of
the bunch; consequently,
we have loose wrappers,
pockets, false heads, and
a cigar whose wrapper
shrivels up and makes
what would otherwise
be recognized as a fine
smoke look like a
twofer.

The human hand is
the only machine that can
properly roll and wrap
a cigar.

with dies and rollers could possibly cut. It
doesn't get out of order and require constant
attention and repair. It leaves the table open
and flat for the operator to work upon, with
no dies or other makeshift in the way. Palm
work comes natural instead of finger work, as
is the case when dies are used.

This table is so sim-
ple in action, and its
working parts are so few
and easily understood
and kept in good shape,
that operators are glad to
use it ; they won't use
any other if they can
help it.

To further progress,
we should like to see
some way to improve
this table, but how
it can be improved
we must admit is
altogether too much
for us.

quantity is in the hands of the
farmers. The fields show an ex
cellent stand and tobacco is grow-
ing faster than would seem possible
on account of the cool weather.

Our correspondents write:

Hatfield: "The shade-grown to
bacco is growing fast, and much of
it is heading out. Not much of the
open will be ready for topping be
fore the loth of this month. A few
plots will be ready the first of the
week. The crop is growing rapidly.
No sales to report. The Sutlers are
sampling their 190 r lot at their
warehouse here. ' '

Vernon, Vt.: "The tobacco crop
in this town is all set, and most of
it has been hoed, some of it the
second time. Cut worms are not
plenty. It has been the best season
I have ever known for transplanting
tobacco. It grows rather slowly on
account of unusual cool weather.
The acreage is not as large as
usual."

Southampton: "Tobacco has
grown more rapidly than it seems
possible on account of the unusual
cold weather. The stand was never
better; missing plants are hard to
find. Less cut worms than usual.
A few warm days and nights will
show a great change."

Amherst: "The early planting
shows up well. Topping will be-
gin from the i8th to the 21st, and a
fine crop is promised. Plants are
beginning to spindle and are grow-
ing rapidly. Very little old tobacco
is left."

Hinsdale, N. H.: "Some of the
tobacco has been hoed the second
time, yet a very considerable part
of the crop is small, owing to the
cold weather. The plants are
stocky and good color. Several
fine crops in the growers' hands.
No buyers iu sight."

North Hatfield: "Some pieces of
tobacco will be ready for topping in
ten days. Some very early pieces a
little sooner. There are some later
pieces that will not be ready before
the first of August. It is all grow-
ing very fast." — American Culti-
vator.

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
The market continues quiet with
few sales reported. John Baer, of
Lancaster, has been in town for a |
few days and has been riding with \
a local buyer, and is reported to
have picked up about 100 cases of
1901 . A few small shipments have |
been made from the warehouses, !
and a small lot of old cased goods
was taken in at one of the large
warehouses Tuesday, but has not
yet been sampled. The weather
continues unfavorable for the crops
that have been set, and there are
quite a number of growers who
have not yet finished transplanting.
— Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.

The new crop is making a re
markable growth in all sections,
though the heavy rains of late have
delayed some needed cultivation
It is generally admitted that the
crop never looked more promising
at this season of the year, with
prospects of an unusually early
harvest.

Nothing is apparently doing in
the way of the remnants of cured
leaf remaining in growers' hands
A single transaction, that of Erich
Smalley, 29CS, at 9c, is the only
sale coming to notice.

Dealers report a dull market in
old leaf and transactions of a limited
nature. L. B Carle & Son have
sold a car lot and C. L. Culton a
few moderate sized orders for the
week.

Shipments, 300CS. — Reporter.
CLARKSVILLE, TENN.

M. H. Clark & Bro.
Our receipts this week were 439 hhds;
offerings on the breaks, 572 hhds; sales,
492 hhds.

The New Orleans freight en-
gagements are apparently filled,
and buyers being less pressing the
market for Bremen sorts was irreg-
ular and easier. Sellers refuse to
accept a decline, and reduced offer-
ings and rejected freely.

The bulk of the crop has reached
the warehouses, and receipts will
continue to decrease.

The weather has been hot and
dry, the mercury ranging between
95 and 99 degrees. The water-
courses are falling steadily.

The market this week was strong
and a bid or two higher on Lugs
and Common Leaf, which were
, freely taken by several buyers,
while Medium, Good and Fine Leaf
ran barely steady. These better
grades of Leaf are selling very
cheap, quality and stock supply,
along with crop prospect of only a
three quarter crop, making them a
good investment. Long cigar leaf,
7 to 9 cents, long working leaf,

the last two days. The crop, while
there is an irregular and bad stand
in many fields, is looking fairly
well and some will be in topping
stage next week. Receipts are fall-
ing off largely and nearly all fac-
tories closed, showing the crop is
well in warehouses and sold. (Duly
about 3,000 hhds are left and season

tain in detail all the data indicated
by the said form, for the month of
manufacture covered thereby, and
the oath appended thereto must set
forth that the said certificate is a
correct abstract from the designated
series of the special manufacturing
record, and that the same justly
and truly represents the quantity

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
for examination and consideration

aggregate rebate involved in the
two claims amounts to $10 or more

Cigat Vending Machines. |

The inventor of a cigar vending
machine submitted for approval a
design of his machine, together with

of imported tobacco used and the , a series of paper cigar pouches, the
number and size of cigars manu-
factured therefrom specially for ex-
port. As ordered by the collector,
the correctness of such certificates
will be verified by a comparison of
the same with the special manu-
facturing record, before liquidation
of the entries.

In liquidation, the weight of to-
bacco in condition as imported,
which may be taken as the basis
for allowance of drawback, may
equal the weight consumed, as
shown in the drawback entry sus-
tained by the sworn abstract, after
official verification of exported
quantities, size, names, and serial
designations. Examination of the
goods will be made at the factory,
after which the packages will be
securely corded and sealed, as pro-
vided by internal revenue regula-
tions, to be thereafter delivered for
export shipment.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

Assignment of Claims.
The Commissioner has ruled that
the assignment of any claim for
drawback or rebate of taxes under
the act of April 12, 1902, before the
amount due was ascertained and
warrant issued, would be in contra-
vention of Section 3477 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States.

machine to consist of a revolving
wheel upon the rim of which the in-
ventor proposed to place the sheet
of pouches containing 25 cigars, the
stamps and statutory caution notice
label to be applied to the proper
pouches. He was advised that the
office would not authorize a manu
facturer to put up his cigars in
pouches, making a bundle of cigars,
in lieu of wooden boxes, and any
machine constructed on the idea re-
presented by the drawing would not
be approved for use in vending ci
gars. It was further advised that
all cigars are required to be put up
in new boxes not before used for
that purpose, and that the manufac-
turer is required to affix to each box
containing the cigars a caution
notice label in form prescribed by
the statute, and properly brand his
boxes and affix an internal revenue
stamp to each box and properly
cancel the same before the cigars
are removed from the place of man-
ufacture, and that when the cigars
are sold the box must be removed
from the machine and the stamp
utterly destroyed, and that the box
could not be used again for packing
cigars.

Stemming Leaf Tobacco.
A tobacco grower and dealer, who
inquired whether, as such, he was
privileged to sell the scraps result-
ing from stemming leaf tobacco
without qualifying as a manufac
turer, was advised that a grower is

that he is not privileged to stem,

wise change his tobacco for the pur-
pose of selling the product un-
stamped to consumers or other per

ist, to in- sons, and, further, that a qualified

to stem his tobacco and sell the

Jackson's vocabulary of business-
like epithets was probably the most
copious. H« had just licked the
British — had taken the sand out of ,
them as it had never been taken out i
of them before, not even in the
Revolution. Yet it would be an i
injustice to his memory to say that
he was an exultant victor. He did ,
not rejoice in his own personal sue- ;
cess overtheunfortunatePakenham;
all his happiness over the victory
was for his country. A more com i
monplace man than Jackson would I
have been softened by his own tre
mendous achievement, and might
perhaps, have yielded to the prayer
of one of the defeated . In that case
this story would not have been
written. But Jackson stormed and
raged; the thunders of his voice
shook the walls, and the lightning
flashes from his eyes threatened
destruction to the unhappy youth
before him. There was no staying
the tempest. The Englishman's
prayer had been natural enough.
His brother, his elder by a few years
and the heir to an ancient name,
was a prisoner in Jackson's hands.
He had been captured while per-
forming the odious but necessary
duties of a spy, and would have
been executed the day before the
battle had not Pakenham's sudden [

The young man took the pipe
Mrs Jackson had proffered to him,
and, divining that she was as august
as the terrible old man in the other
room, led her back to her seat with
an air of the most courtly deference.

"Madam," he said "I do not
smoke."

"Then," answered Mrs. Jackson,
"you deprive yourself, in a trying
moment, of the greatest comfort a
wounded spirit may know. There
is no comfort like a pipe. It has
been to me a solace such as I have
found nowhere else. I am a woman »
and one of the few women in the
world who smoke. Heaven knows I
would not have all women become
smokers, but upon every heavy-
laden fellow mortal, man or wo-

What to Do to Be Saved.

A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditlons In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.
X.

"Gentlemen, we have great prob
lems. We can only solve them by
degrees. We can only solve them
by doing well each particular bit of
work as it comes up for solution
Much can be done along the lines
of supervision and regulation of the
great industrial combinations which
have become so marked a feature
in our civilization, but if we reck-
lessly try without proper thought,
without proper caution, to do too
much, we shall either do nothing or
else we shall work a ruin that will be
felt most acutely among those of
the citizens who are most helpless.

"It is no easy task to deal with
the great industrial tendencies To
deal with them in a spirit of pre-
sumptuous and rash folly, above all
to deal with them in a spirit of
envy and hatred and malice, would
be to invite disaster; a disaster
which would be so wide-spread that
this country would rock to its foun-
dations. The Mississippi sometimes
causes immense damage by flood.
You can't dam it and stop the
floods, but you can regulate them
and control them by levees. Vou

you can eliminate its destructive,. ., . ,

a time
d fury,
hatred and malice
go about undisguised, and when
cool reason seeks retreats far from
the haunts of public speakers and
their audiences. Fortunately the
next national campaign, in which
these very questions are to be dis-
cussed in the usual angry and hate-
ful way, is still a long way off". In
meanwhile we can consider
questions calmly, and with
good will towards all parties con-
cerned, in this place. It is most
fitting to discuss the relations of the
great corporations at present en-
gaged in the manufacture of cigars
to the rest of the trade in The To-
bacco World, because in this arena
envy and malice and that spirit of
presumption and rash folly against
which President Roosevelt warned
his hearers are not at all likely to
get mixed up with the combatants
or with the questions under consid-
eration.

In the very first place, it must
be borne in mind that the great cor-
porations are perfectly within their
rights in manufacturing cigars. It
is in every way as legal for a cor-
poration with millions of capital in
its treasury to manufacture and sell
cigars as it is for the smallest buck-
eye in New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio or Illinois to do so. The aim
of those who have already appealed,
or who will appeal to Congress, or
to a state legislature, to put a curb
upon the competitive aggressive-
ness of the great corporations is
avowedly to obtain proof of unfair
and oppressive methods. Time
alone can show whether or not they
shall be successful in their aim.
To a man up a tree it looks as if
they had a mighty hard job before
them. No corporation is ever as
harsh to its smaller competitors as
a large individual operator is likely
to be. As Mr. Joseph H. Choate
once said, no corporation would
dream of being as relentless toward

the origin of these corporations, or
at least of the first of them, is owing
to the invention of a practicable
cigarette making machine.

Prior to 1885 all the paper wrap
ped cigarettes made of Virginia or
North Carolina tobacco manufac
tured in this country, and these
were practically the only cigarettes
generally smoked at that time,
were made by hand at a cost of from
80 cents to $ I 10 per thousand. The
five leading manufacturers of such
cigarettes at that time were the
firms of W. Duke, Sons & Co.
Allen & Ginter, Kinney Bros ,
Goodwin & Co., and William S.
Kimball & Co. Just prior to 1885
Albert Hook, an impecunious me
chanic employed in a designer's
shop in Centre street, New York
city, invented a machine by the use
of which the cost of rolling icoo
cigarettes was reduced to about 5
cents. This enormous reduction
in the cost of manufacture made
the cigarette perhaps the most profit
able article of manufactured to-
bacco ever placed upon the market.
By 1890, the success of combina
tions of capital in other lines of in-
dustrial enterprise having been
amply demonstrated, it was inevit
able that a consolidation of the
five cigarette manufacturing con-
cerns above named should come
about, and accordingly it was ef
fected in October of that year. The
rest is history.

Business Failures.

Dun's Review of July c2th, 1902,
gives some interesting information
on the reported failures for the
second quarter of 1902, including
April, May, and June.

In their list of liquor and tobacco
manufacturers were reported during
this period twenty four failures,
with aggregate liabilities of $263,-
552, or an average of $ 0,574 75-

The failures among dealers in
liquors or tobaccos were 207, with
aggregate liabilities of $1,133240,
or an average of 15474 59-

During the month of June the
failures of manufacturers of liquors
or tobaccos were 8, with total liabil
ities of $28 856 or an average of
$3 607, and among dealers, 63,
with total liabilities of $516,289, or
an average of $8,196 65. |

A comparison of these figures
with those of previous years, as re |
gards manufacturers is as follows

Cincinnati Trade Acts,

Meeting Held of the Cincinnati Seed
Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade.

President Louis Newburgh and
Secretary John Staun, of the Cin-
cinnati Seed Leaf Tobacco Board
of Trade, called a meeting of that as-
sociation on July II, which was
held at the G'bson House and was
well attended.

This meeting was called for the
purpose of considering and taking
action on the combination agitation,
in conformity with the desires ex-
pressed by the National Association,
at its last annual meeting, held in
Cincinnati in May.

President Rosen wald, of the
National Association, has requested
the co-operation of Local Boards
in procuring all possible evidence
of unfair methods, which informa-
tion is to be forwarded to the At-
torney General of the United States.

Information thus far at hand has
not been sufl5cient to warrant legal
proceedure, and it was decided by
the presiding oflBcerof the National
Association to consult the trade
throughout the country, with a
view to securing suflScient informa-
tion to carry on a prosecution.

The Cincinnati, O , and Lancas-
ter, Pa., Boards were among the
first to respond to the National
President's call.

Marcus Doerhoefer Dead.

Marcus Doerhoefer, manager of
the Monarch Tobacco Company, of
Louisville, Ky., and formerly a
large stockholder in the American
and Continental Tobacco Com-
panies, died at his home in Louis-
ville on July 14th.

Sumatra Marks.

York, Pa , July 15, 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

Please give me an explanation of
the marks on Sumatra. Hans T.

The Answer.

Nineteen distinct shades of color
are recognized by those who assort
Sumatra leaf, and these shades are
known by marks branded on the
matt, which are recognized instantly
by dealers the world over.

Following is a list of these marks:

How Clay Pipes are Made.

Chicago, July 12, 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

Can you conveniently tell me,
that is, within reasonable limits. how
clay pipes are made? Wilbur Y

The Answer.

The clay from which the ordinary
'"lay pipe is made is in its natural
state of a slate color; it changes to
white in firing.

The clay is soaked in tubs for ten
or twelve hours, until it has been
soaked into a mass, to prepare it for
working. It is then put through a
pug mill, in which it is mixed to
make it a uniform consistency and
bring it to the temper; it should be
like a stiff dough As it comes
from the pug mill it is made up into
balls or bunches about the size of a
peck measure. From the clay thus
prepared for use without any ad-
mixture whatever, the pipes are
made.

The first step in the process is
the working of portions of the clay
into what are called rolls. A bunch
of the prepared clay is placed upon

I

a bench and the roll maker picks
off two lumps of clay which he lays
on a board in front of him on the i
bench. He rolls both lumps at j
once, one under each hand, rolling
them out into elongated tapering 1
shapes, with the thick ends or ;
heads toward the thumbs and the |
smaller ends tapering out on the ;
little finger side of the hands

lengthwise. By the pipemaker's
side is a board of rolls. He holds
by a handle at one end, a wire that
is to make the hole in the stem of
the pipe. He picks up a roll and
draws the stem part down on the
wire; there is the stem of the pipe
already made.

He bends the head end up a little
to make it go more easily into the
mold and that touch adds distinctly
to the pipe look of it. He puts the
roll in one side of the mold and
shuts the mold up together and puts
it in a press, bowl up. The closing
together of the parts of the mold
upon the pliable clay has already
shaped the pipe upon the outside
and there is a hole through the
stem, the wire still remaining in it,
but it has no bowl. A single turn
of the side screw holds the mold
firmly in the press.

Over the press is a lever to which
is attached what is called a stopper;
it is like a plunger attached to the
underside of the lever by a pivot.
When the lever is brought down
the stopper is forced into the clay in
the head of the mold and the bowl
is formed.

The mold is taken from the press

and the surplus clay around the

edges of the mold, pressed out when

the mold was shut together, is

shaved off with a knife; the wire is

drawn from the stem, and the now

completely formed pipe is set aside.

The celerity with wfiich the work

quite different from that; its shape
and the length of the stem part de
pending on the style of the pipe to
be made.

The rolls are laid on boards in
bunches of dozens and put away to
stiffen; after ten or twelve hours
they are ready for molding. There
are different kinds of molds, vary-
ing in some minor details, but prac
tically alike in operation.

Some molds are, however, much
more elaborate in construction than
others, the mold for an ordinary
pipe being in two pieces, while the
mold for a fancy pipe might be in
a half a dozen or more pieces. A
pipe factory might have hundreds of
different molds for almost as many
styles of pipes. Molds for plain
pipes are made of iron; those made
for elaborate styles are sometimes
made of brass or other compositions.
The mold for an ordinary plain
pipe is of two parts, hinged at the
bottom and opening vertically

gross of common pipes in a week;
forty gross, however, would be about
the average.

When the pipe comes from the
mold, the clay still damp, it is a lit-
tle darker in shade than the clay in
its natural state. The bowl almost
glistens in its smoothness. The new
pipes are set away in racks to dry
out somewhat before the next step
in the process, the finishing. Ten
or twelve hours in a temperature of
seventy five degrees is sufficient.
There remains on the pipe a little
seam, where the mold has come to
gether.

In finishing the pipe, a wire is run
through the stem again to clear the
hole if there should be any obstruc-
tion, and the wire serves also as a
handle with which to hold the pipe
The seams are taken off, as is also
the little burr of clay at the bottom
of the bowl of the pipe over the hole
from the stem. At this stage, too,
the pipe is stamped with the brand,
if it is to have one, if it is anything
more elaborate than a single letter
or two on either side of the pipe
Designs are sometimes cut in the
mold, but if it should be one across
the pipe the mold seam would run
through it, and a smoother finish
can be given by stamping after the

pipe has come from the mold Now
the wire is drawn and the pipe is set
back on the board, and the board is
again placed in the drying rack;
this time the pipes are to be thor-
oughly dried, and twenty four hours
is about the time required.

Then the pipes are put into sag-
gers, to be placed in the kiln. The
sagger is a cylindrical shaped pot of
fire clay, twelve or fifteen inches
high and of about the same diame-
ter. The longer stemmed pipes are
laid in the sagger with regularity ;
the shorter stemmed, such pipes,
for instance, as are to be finished
later, with a stem piece of another
material, and, perhaps to be colored
in imitation of meerschaum, and
have stems so short that there is no
danger of bending them, are simply
laid in loosely. On the average a
sagger will hold about a gross of
pipes, of some pipes, more, of oth-
ers, less, depending on the size.
The saggers, filled, are stacked up
in the kiln in stands, a kiln of or-
dinary dimensions holding twenty-
ooe stands or stacks nine high.

The pipes are first subjected for
about five hours to a comparatively
mild heat, which is called soaking;
then the full heat of the kiln is put
on and continued for twelve or four-
teen hours. Then the kiln is op-
ened and the saggers are taken out,
with the now completed pipes.
They come out white.

Fancy clay pipes are made in the
same manner as common clay pipes.
In the making of the more elaborate
pipes, as for instance, one with a
bowl in the resemblance of a head,
more elaborate molds may be re-
quired. As stated above, molds of
half a dozen or more pieces are
sometimes used Of cours t it takes
more time to make such pipes, but
the general process followed is the
same. The properties of the clay
used in the manufacture of pipes
are of course known and the effect
produced upon them by heat. The
slate colored clays used as here de-
scribed burn white; some red clays
burn red, and some pink and so on.

the gift of Maj. W. H. Comegysof

the paymaster with this note:

"I send you the largest cigar you

in the city, to morrow oflf for the
Vuelta Abajo, and returning to
Havana he is hurried to Alquizar
by a telegram to supervise their
Tnmbadero packing, thus keeping
on the go all the time.

L Friedman & Co. disposed of
some 200 bales of old Vuelta Abajo
and Partido fillers to local manufac-
turers recently.

Antonio Suarez & Co. have closed
out all of their old Vueltas and are
working hard upon their Partido and
Vuelta Abajo packings. The former
they could sell as fast as they arrive
but Don Antonio has also to look
out for some of his northern friends,
therefore he will not compromise
himself by making any binding
contract with cigar manufacturers
in Havana.

Arguelles y Busto are still holders
of some of the best Remedios of last
year's crop, and while they sold
100 bales recently, they are also be
lievers in a better market as soon as
the northern buyers have convinced
themselves of the actual state of af
fairs in Cuba. They are packing
largely in the Vuelta Abajo.

Adolfo Moeller intended to leave
for New York on the Mexico, on
July 12, but he was prevented from
doing so, as he sold some 550 bales
of old Vueltas in Havana lately,
besides shipping 400 bales to the
States and Germany and other busi
ness matters claiming his attention
However, he will go surely on July
15, by the Monterey.

Suarez & Co , better known
under the name of their factory,
La Flor de J. Suarez Murias, are
busy in the execution of their num
erous cigar orders. They have no
time to complain about hard times,
as they keep on in the regular way
even if other people are apt to
grumble now and then. They have
a large escojida of the best grown
Vuelta Abajo in Consolacion del
Sur, where they pack only the
choicest tobacco purchased by their
buyer for their own future use.

Henry Clay & Bock & Co. are
also not behind, on the contrary,
a trifle ahead in their shipments of
cigars for the first six months of the
current year. Don Gustavo Bock
is satisfied with the large purchases
of new tobacco made by him and
upon his orders through his buyers.
He will start in to work the new
wrappers in his various factories

very shortly, thus being able to
commence shipping new cigars at
the beginning of August How-
ever, for the present, only old fillers
will be used, as the new tobacco
for filler purposes is still too fresh
and will need more storage and

The fact that many well-to do

I Nevertheless, business in the New

in a way that is satisfactory to im-

The cigar factories of the city are
doing well and the prospects are
excellent for a boom in the fall.

The country is extraordinarily
prosperous in spite of the ten weeks'
old strike in the anthracite coal
regions of dear old Pennsylvania.
People everywhere appear to have
plenty of money to spend, and that
they our getting rid of a lot of it in

it is predicted, there will be such a

Quaker Gitj's Weekly Budget.

The Philadelphia trade is having
a mid- summer business that is at
least as good as usual at this sea-
son. Quite a number of retail
dealers are complaining consider-
able, but jobbers claim to be doing
a fairly steady trade Among the
manufacturers the reports are more
varying. They are not really busy,
yet a goodly number of them are
working with full forces and
steadily.

RETURNED FROM NEW ENGI.AND.

Henry Heymann, of T. J. Dunn
& Co., returned late last week from
Boston and the New England States
and brought home reports of a sat-
isfactory condition of their trade in

that section.

BRUCKER & BOGHEIN'S BRONSON
HOWARD.

The Bronson Howard, a 6-cent
cigar marketed by Brucker & Bog
hein, 2213 North Front street, has
been made a notable success. This
firm has clearly demonstrated, that
the smoking public will appreciate
a cigar of merit, and will buy it at
a fair market price. It is one of
the very few domestic- made cigars
thai are retailed at 6-cents each.
Philadelphia is one of the greatest
markets in the world for 5 cent
cigars, therefore the signal success
of a 6 cent cigar is all the more
wonderful.

On the other hand, the house has
also scored a victory in the success
ful marketing of a lower priced
piece of goods, but which they
claim also exceptional value for.
It is the High Toned cigar, which
retails for 3 cents. This product
has undoubtedly out distanced all
other goods in this market at that
price. The firm employs practically
on these two lines alone seven sales
men, and three delivery wagons are

kept in constant service.

H. STEWART MOORHEAD'S
VACATION.

H. S. Moorhead, of Duncan &

A NEW STORE ON NINTH STREET

A new store was recently opened
at 15 South Ninth street by Wade

exceptionally fine line of high grade
goods.

I.AZAR TAKES THE CHILD S RES-
TAURANT CIGAR STANDS.

Milton Lazar has succeeded Mr.
Lesher as proprietor of the cigar
stands in the several Child's restau-
rants in this city. The Tenth and
Market streets and Eighth and
Vine streets establishments are
among the more desirable of the
stands. The Twelfth and Chestnut

under the new management.

MANGE, WEINER & CO'S RENEWED

The old established cigar firm of
Mange, Weiner & Co., at Eleventh

ROEDEL'S PHILADELPHIA CIGAR.

W. K. Roedel Co. have recently
been pushing with much success
their Philadelphia cigar, the sales
of which have been largely in-
creased since the inauguration of
this aggressiveness. Their factory
is running with a larger force than
ever before.

FRATZ & LEVY IMPROVING.

The recently organized firm of
Fratz & Levy, at 331 Arch street,
are meeting with deserved success
in the wider distribution of their
goods Mr. Fratz is one of the
oldest and most widely experienced
cigar manufacturers in the city,
while Mr. Levy, who has taken full
charge of the sales department, has
had much experience in that line,
which is now standing him in good
stead. Mr. Levy informs us that
many of his previous customers are
standing by him nicely, and that
this fact has aided him wonderfully
j in increasing the volume of the

[ business that the firm is now doing.

PHILA, LEAF MARKET.

The local market has a mid-
summer aspect and inactive, but
not more so than is to be expected
at this season. Business is neces-
sarily curtailed, owjng to a short
stock of many lines of leaf, and
small sales are now the rule. The
demand for goods is here, but the
goods are not obtainable except at
prices which manufacturers are un
willing to pay. Pennsylvania Broad
Leaf and old Gebhard stock are sell-
•ing freely. The continued rumors
of damagein the Connecticut Valley
and in the Chemung Valley, New
York, have had the effect of stiflfen-
ing prices on available Connecticut
tobaccos. The new Connecticut
will be eagerly looked at. Some
sampling of the 1901 Pennsylvania
has also been done, and the goods
were found of good quality, very
little damage being found.

Sumatra conditions have im-
proved somewhat, and it is selling
more freely, although not quite up
to the standard.

The Havana market remained
steady. Inquiries are coming in
more frequently.

Redeeming Florodora Bands

The Florodora Tag Company, of
215 and 217 Seventh avenue. New
York, opened its doors for business
on July I. The company's business
is the exchange of Florodora bands.
Sweet Caporal box fronts. Horse-
shoe and Drummond tags, and all
other like representatives of value
for the gifts embraced in the almost
exhaustless list published by the
American Tobacco Company, the
Continental Tobacco Company, the
American Cigar Company and their
respective branches.

The New York depot is in charge
of J. H. Armstrong, for many years
connected with the ofiice staff" of
Powell, Smith & Co. .

Mr. Armstrong said on Monday
last that on every week day since
July I the oflfices of the Florodora
Tag Company have been literally
crowded with men, women and
children eager to exchange their
bands, box fronts or tags for mer-
chandise. The average number of
such callers has been 700 a day,
while at least 200 more come in
every day to ask questions and to
acquaint themselves with the gift
proposition.

Every mail brings in advices from
out-of town holders of bands, box
fronts and tags, and all day long
express wagons rattle up to the
Company's doors bearing boxes and

PARMENTER cigar pockets are the GREATEST
of WIININERS for SECURING TRADE.

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and liglitest running ma-
cUine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin macliines are placed on
one stand; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine offered.

The proper way to treat a leaf
shopper who goes back on his
broker was demonstrated in a little
transaction that was on the point
of going through in New York last
week. The first broker discovered
the location of a certain desirable
small lot of tobacco, and piloted
the shopper to the holder. The
shopper didn 't decide at the moment
to take the lot, but said he would
call again.

Next day he came around with

broker No. 2. They didn't see the
member of the firm whom the shop-
per and broker No. i had seen the
day before, but a salesman who was
unaware of the previous day's visit.
The shopper decided to take the
tobacco, and left shipping directions
with the salesman. A few hours
later broker No i learned of the
shabby trick that had been played
upon him. He called on broker
No. 2, and after giving him a terr!»
ble calling down for his duplicity
went straight to the holder of the
tobacco. When the matter was ex-
plained to the salesman who had
dealt with the shopper and with
broker No. 2 he t ok the tricked
broker to the head of the house.
The latter, after hearing that part
I of the story with which he had
previously been unacquainted,
promptly dealt out justice.

"It's no sale," he said, "and I
don't want either of those people to
darken my doors again."

Several months ago a man named

to close his tobacco and confection-

McKinley's funeral. His action
aroused the citizens, and a boycott
was declared. Stone's trade dwin-
dled and now he has departed for
I another location, having literally
been starved out of town.

Status of the Tobacco Crop.

The Crop Reporter, published by
the U. S. Agricultural Department
states for July:

"The acreage reported as under
tobacco is considerably smaller than
that shown for the crop of 1901
Of the principal tobacco producing
States, Maryland shows a decrease
in acreage amounting to 2 percent.,
Virginia 4 per cent Pennsylvania
and Ohio 8 per cent, Tennessee 10
per cent., and Kentucky 17 per
cent; while in Wisconsin and North
Carolina the present areas are 7
and 9 percent., respectively, larger
than those planted last year. The
average condition of tobacco is i
point below the ten year average in
Maryland and North Carolina, 2
points in Kentucky and Pennsyl
vania, 3 points in Tennessee, and
6 points in Virginia. On the other
hand, Ohio and Wisconsin show
conditions 5 and 10 points, respec-
tively, above such average."

The York State Crop.

Baldwinsville, N. Y , July 19, '02
Since the setting out of the young
plants for this year's crop, they
have been making a quick growth,
and suffered very little from cut
worms

The acreage will be smaller than
usual in the Onondaga section this
year, owing to early frost damage
to plant beds, consequent shortage
of plants, and continual wet weather
which in many instances made
preparation of the ground an im
possibility. Yet the indications are
that with an abundance of the pres-
ent favorable weather a fine crop
will be harvested.

Heavy Damage in Connecticut.

Reports of heavy damage to the
tobacco fields in the Connecticut
valley by hail on Tuesday of last
week are received from many towns.
The hail ruined 100 acres of tobacco
in Agawam, Mass., being the
severest storm in that town since
1853. The crop was damaged in
Feeding Hills, Mass., and Enfield,
Conn.

Tobacco under tents was not in-
jured. The storm was the first hail
test of the tents which cover the
Sumatra leaf, and the results ar<»
satisfactory to the farmers who
ventured to plant tobacco under
shade. Growers estimate that the
loss to New England growers from
the storm may reach |ioo,ooo.

LANCASTER'S RHPORT.

Lancaster, Pa., July 22, 1902
During last week a large majority
of our local leaf packers and dealers
were in a more cheerful mood than
for some time past. A good many
of them have ascertained the
volume of business done during the
first half of the year, which in
many cases was well up to the
standard. They observed, however,
that this volume was the aggregate
of a larger number of sales than
was the case in years gone by, yet,
they are also realizing the fact that
the trade has undergone great
changes during the past few years,
and that they too must conform to
these new conditions. Those who
have, it may be safely said, have
really nothing to complain of, save
that the cost of selling goods in
more numerous transactions has in-
creased the cost of business some-
what.

The actual figures for these six
months, which were confidentially
given by not a few, prove the fact
that they have made a steady pro-
gress. They also confirm the opin-
ion heretofore expressed by me that
the only just and fair way to com-
pute the progress made by leaf men
is to take the net results of a year's
business and compare itwith previ
ous years. It has been and still
is safe to expect that during a full
year's business the seemingly dull
periods will have evened up, so that
in nearly all cases of live houses
they will find their energy to have
been at least fairly well rewarded.

During the past week there was
experienced a fair trade, and several
houses reported good sized sales.
There were at least 2,000 cases dis
posed of last week by Lancaster
houses, which is really not a bad
showing for' mid-summer. It is
also reasonable to expect an even
greater revival early in the fall, al-
though much cannot be expected
during the remainder of July and
August.

The growing crop is now doing
well. There has been plenty of
moisture, and a good warm sun for
several days, which made plants
fairly jump.

Several packings of the 1901 crop
have been examined, and the
packers are much gratified at its

showing. No black rot of any ac-
count has been found, and the
quality is excellent.

C. Ruppin has called attention to
an error in my letter of last week,
wherein I stated that he intended
relinquishing the use of the union
label. He says that such is not the
case, and that he has no intention
of adopting such a course.

Reuben Bertz field, a former well-
known tobacco dealer, died last
week, at his home in this city.

The deceased was a son of Jacob
and Elizabeth Bertzfield, and was
born at Millersville, November 11,
1842. He attended the common
schools, and at the early age of ten
years went to learn the cigarmak-
ing trade. He worked as a journey-
man for two years, and then en-
gaged in the business for himself in
Millersville, where he remained
until 1863, when he enlisted in
Company A of the Eighty-seventh
regiment of Pennsylvania infantry.
After fourteen months service he
was discharged on account of sick-
ness. He recovered, and resumed
the cigar business at Millersville
until he came to Lancaster in 1869.
The following year he was employed
by Teller Brothers, then one of the
leading firms who purchased to-
bacco in this county, and remained
with them until they gave up their
warehouses here, a few years ago.
He was then in business for a time
with Louis Sondheimer, and after-
wards as a tobacco broker.

He was a member of the United
Workmen, Knights of Pythias,
Knights of Malta, Junior American
Mechanics, and the G. A. R He
was also a member of the Lutheran
church. He leaves his wife, one
daughter and two sisters. He was
one of the originators of the move-
ment to found the general hospital.
The deceased had a wide acquaint-
ance, through the county, as he
traveled in every part of it, buying
tobacco.

Jos. Philips, of Hopeland, was
placed under arrest on Tuesday
morning of last week by Constable
Clayton S. Regar, of Ephrata, on
the chargeof having been implicated
in the robbery of a lot of Sumatra
tobacco from A. W. Mentzer Sc
Son's tobacco warehouse in that
place.

A hearing took place Tuesday
morning in the office of Justice
Eagle, but the charge could not be
sustained and the case was dis-
missed There was no direct evi-
dence incriminating Philips. It
was testified that he was at home
and in bed on the night of the
robbery. With reference to the
man's sere foot, it was testified that
the member had been violently
wrenched near his home on the
Saturday proceding the robbery.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

We are not expecting many sales
of tobacco at present, for the very
good reason that only a fraction of
the 1901 crop is in the hands of the
growers. Possibly an efiFort may be
made to surround this fractional
amount by the packers One thing
is certain, there is no letting up on
the price of good leaf It certainly
is good property to hold. And be
fore the snow flies we may expect
that the great bulk of the old to-
baccos will be sold. The quantity
of force sweat was largely in excess
of any previous year, and it has been
sold as fast as offered in the market.

It seems that the damage to the
shade grown tobacco was largely
confined to Suffield, Ct., the cause
of which is quite problematical.
Various theories have been aired,
and yet they are only theorie?. The
crop throughout the valley is look
ing well, aud growing as if on a
wager. In some towns there is a
larger planting, while in many
others there is a shrinkage. We are
of the opinion that on the whole
there is an increase, but not a very
large one.

Our correspondents write :

Wethersfield: "The tobacco here
is looking better than it would be
expected for the cold, cloudy
weather. We have some which has
been hoed the last time and all the
second time. Cut worms have
caused considerable trouble in some
pieces, and green worms just ap-
pearing Very little old tobacco
left in town."

Northampton: "I have been up
to Hatfield and took a look at the
tobacco. It looks as though Hat-
field was all tobacco. The most
of it looks well, though it seems to
xne that it is throwing the bud out
rather low. Mr. George W. Moor
of Whately informs me that this
is the trouble in his town, and on
rich and well-fertilized fields. I
have just returned from a trip to
Florence, where I called upon Mr
D. A. Ross. His tobacco is not as
forward as it is in Hatfield, but is
looking well, even and growing
rapidly."

Sunderland: "Tobacco is grow
ing very rapidly. It has rooted
remarkably through the cold,
spring-like weather, and will be
ready to top very early. No cut
worms have hurt it, and no signs
of tobacco millers or green worms
yet. The plants are perfect in form,
and most pieces remarkably good
color. We shall have a grand crop
if nothing serious befalls it."

Conway: "The warm weather
of the past week has improved the
looks of tobacco very much. It is
growing very rapidly now; a few
pieces will be topped this week."

North Hatfield: "I don't know
as we shall top any tobacco before
the 15th. R. M. Swift has topped
the earliest of his crop. The crop
is looking tiptop, and gives promise
of a good leaf."

East Hartford: "Thecool weather
has retarded the growth of tobacco.
Plants are rooted well, and will
make a rapid growth now warm

weather has put in an appearance. ;
Some fields have suflFered from cut ]
worms, and required stocking to
some extent." — Amer. Cultivator, j

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
On Monday J. Wallace Lee re-
ceived 26 cases of 1901 recently
purchased, shipping to Cleveland
O. There is nothing doing at the
warehouses and absolute quietness
prevails in the local market, most
of the local buyers being out of
town on their vacations or resting
at home. The transplanting of the
new crop is now nearly completed
and the fields already set are look-
ing better, the favorable weather of
the past week having made a great
improvement. — Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.

A midsummer dullness pervades
the local tobacco markets and little
has occurred of a news nature de-
serving of mention in this column.

Aurora f 111,, Cigar Shops
to Close.

At a conference held last week
the cigar manufacturers of Aurora,
111,, employing cigarmakers, de-
cided that the new scale of wages
asked by their employes who are all
members of Union No. 41, could
not be met and it would therefore
be better to close their factories and
dismiss the men.

This decisi;:>n was reached in
order to prevent a strike which was
sure to follow the refusal of the fac
tory owners to grant the demands
of the men.

Nine out of the ten firms employ-
ing hands in that city were repre-
sented at the meeting which was
held in Schiltz hotel. The demands
of the men were such that an agree-
ment to close was easily reached.

The men asked an average in-
crease of about $2.50 per thousand
on all cigars and aiso that the man-
ufacturing dealers refuse to handle
all kinds of nonunion cigars. With
tobacco at the present high prices
and with the low price for which ci-
gars made in the larger cities can
be secured, the dealers found that
they could not under any circum-
stances pay the increase asked, as
in many of the brands of their cigars
the profits do not reach this amount.
To accept the clause against non-
union cigars is impossible according
to the manufacturers, as they have
many calls for outside brands and
widely advertised cigars.

Ai the men had threatened to
strike Monday, July 21, unless the
new scale was accepted, the manu-
facturers thought it was best to pre-
vent a strike by laying off their men
and closing up their factories. Until
some agreement is reached, no at-
tempt to manufacture cigars, except
those which the proprietors make
themselves, will be made.

The closing of the factories will
only affect about half the local fac-
tories as the others employ no men
all the work being done by the pro-
prietors.

Western Tobacco Co. Finan-
cially Involved.

C. C. Christie, president of the
Christie Grain and Stock Company,
institute proceedings of attachment
on the goods of the Western To-
bacco Company, of 13 10 Urion
avenue, Kansas City, Mo., last
week. The sheriff took possession
of the stock. The alleged amount
of the company's indebtedness to
Mr Christie is $10,400.

"The proceedings came as a great
surprise to me," said Asa M. Eg-
bert, president of the tobacco com-
pany. "Our company is absolutely
solvent, and has sufficient funds to
meet all obligations. I expect this
matter to be arranged quickly, and
we shall continue in business as
before."

Mr. Egbert said the debt was a
private transaction, and there was
no speculation in it Mr. Christie
is interested in the tobacco com-
pany, Mr. Egbert says.

WHY IT
^ PAYS! ^

It very often occurs that manufacturers in
various lines relegate to the scrap pile thousands
upon thousands of dollars' worth of the most
expensive machinery.

We sometimes hear or read about a manufac-
turer who has just installed an equipment of new
machinery only to tear it out and sell it as junk.

Why do they do this?

Simply because new inventions, new dis-
coveries make what was
considered all right
yesterday all wrong
today.

They do it because
their success, their very
business existence, de-
pends upon keeping
abreast with the times,
at wh tever cost, having
the most modern and
effective maci.iiiery.

Now it is just the
same in the cigar making
business as it is with
any other. You can't
hope to compete with
your rivals, >ou cannot
expect to be prosperous
unless you keep up-to-
date, unless you see that
you are equipped with the best tools and
appliances which inventive genius can devise.

You can afford to install immediately the
DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

You could afford to do this if it cost three
or tour times as much as it does.

Thi': is true simply because this table solves
the problem of making a perfect hand-made
cigar in the shortest possible time and at the

least possible cost. That is the whole story in
a nut-shell.

Progressive cigar manufacturers have con-
sidered the suction table a necessity in their
business notwithstanding the fact that the
dies and rollers of the suction table were
an expensive and irritating nuisance, and
only a makeshift at best.

Now we have a dieless table — a simple,

easily operated table
which cuts the wrapper
with a circular knife
instead of dies and rol-
lers, does not get out of
order and results in better
work in less time at
lower cost than can be
done in any other manner.
Such being the case how
can you afford to put c((
installing this t. ble?

it will prove all that
we claim for it, and if you
could see it in operation
you would agree at once
that to a cigar manu-
facturer it is one of the
first necessities of life.

A full and detailed
description (f the table
will enlighten you on many points which can-
not be covered in this advertisement.

We would be glad lo have you write us,
asking any questions that occur to you and we
will promptly reply in full.

To meet all sorts of views we still make
our Die Tables, admitted the best. Both kinds

Salesman and Creditman.

JA9. T. JENKINS, NASHVILLK, TENN

For the present it is not necessary
to divide salesmen into more than
two classes, viz : Those who sell
their own property, and those who
are employed to sell property that
belongs to their employers.

The salesman who sells his own
property is a law unto himself; for
he has the right to make prices,
terms and discounts on his goods,
wares and merchandise.

It is of the other class, those who

sell for others, that I am expected

to speak.

You may not be prepared for the

statement that the meaning of the

word salesman depends largely upon

the occupation or experience of the

person who uses it.

To one not engaged in commer-
cial or mercantile pursuits, sales-
man means a man who sells some-
thing— like inkstand means some-
thing to hold ink. To the average
business man, salesman means one
employed, usually under a contract
that specifies the salary, states the
period of time and designates the
territory. Such contracts had their
origin under the law of principal
and agent. At this point I must
ask your indulgence long enough to
say I fear too many of us think
agreement means the same as con-
tract, and that every contract is an
agreement.

Nearly all contracts with salesmen
express amount of salary, length of
time, and extent of territory; but I
have never seen a contract that ex-
pressly states who shall fix prices,
terms and discounts.

I presume the modern contract is

silent on these three points, because

the owner of the goods is loth to

realize that he has ceded his old

time right to control them. Or it

may be because the owner harbors

the delusion that there is an agree

ment between his mind and the

salesman's mind that the owner

possesses and shall exercise the

right to fix prices, terms and dis

counts governing the sale of his

goods.

I am absolutely sure, however,

that no such Utopian idea lingers in
the up-to-date salesman's mind.
The salesman has learned that he
must not pass (or fail to obtain)
orders; and that the only way he
can keep from passing orders is to
substitute the (sometimes actual,
but mainly alleged) prices of a com
peting drummer for the prices given
him by his employer.

If we were to ask an employer
who is party to a contract with a
drummer, if the drummer has the
right to fix prices we would be told
"no." If we were to ask the em-
ployer if the drummer does fix

prices we would get an evasion. I
am of the opinion that nearly all
contracts between employer and
salesman are to some extent records
or agreements, and that the exist-
ing (so-called) system of selling
goods by "traveling men" is under-
mining our commercial structure.
The original sphere and function of
the "traveling man" was agent and
salesman for his principal, and this
conception exists today, in the
mind of the average business man.
I But, in the mind of the credit man
who analyzes the word, traveling
salesman means the itinerant buyer
I for the retail merchants in his terri
tory.

It is clearly the duty of the buyer,
let him be resident or itinerant, to
obtain the lowest prices, the longest
terms of credit, the highest rate of
discount and the most Indistinct
date In which to discount.

A recently developed, and, ap-
parently, the paramount duty of the
Itinerant buyer is to obtain an ex-
tension on maturing obligations
for all the merchants for whom he

buys.

If indications are worth anything.

! he Is a poor buyer who cannot
guarantee an extension (without In-
terest) before he makes a sale.

If there Is a quality the American
people admire, It Is loyalty. As an
American, I congratulate the Itin-
I erant buyer on his allegiance to his
principals; meaning of course, the
retail merchants for whom he buys.

As to the credit man, permit me
to say. If he has risen to a proper
conception of his position, he dis-
charges duties similar to those of
the banker. The credit man In
vests, collects and reinvests, the
capltal.surplus and borrowed money
of his Institution. If he Is both
credit man and financier for an in
corporated company his duties and
obligations are still closer to those
of the bank oflBcer, for he Is the
logical conservator of the stock-
holders' Interests. Each order for
goods on credit that comes to him
for approval Is an application for a
specific sum of money. The credit
man does not consider the articles,
nor should he be concerned as to
prices; but he must know the num-
ber of dollars the order calls for.

When an Inventory Is taken, all
the credit man sees is the total foot-
ing, and he sees that footing re
corded as so many dollars in the
statement of assets. He sees every
uncollected note and account re
corded as so many dollars. When
the house buys goods, the financier
Is confronted with a bill for so
many dollars. Can the financier of
a solvent Institution pay expenses
In goods, wares or merchandise?
Will the salesmen accept anything
but legal tenders for salary or ex-
pense money ?

Name of a Dealer on a Cigar Box.
The Commissioner has ruled that
where a manufacturer of cigars uses
a label upon which is printed the
caution notice, the number of the
factory, the district and State, and
the upper portion of which is re-
served for advertising purposes, the
manufacturer may not print thereon
the name of a dealer who is his
customer, unless it is associated
with the manufacturer's name as
manufacturer. If the manufacturer
desires the name of the dealer alone
to appear on the box of cigars the
name of such dealer must not be
associated with the caution notice
label, nor with the required brand
showing the factory number, and
the number of the district and State,
and that in using the name of a
dealer such dealer's place of busi
ness should be designated.

was Paid ]aly 1, 1901.

claim under the act of March 2,

not filed on the 1st day of July, a
peddler and his surety would be
liable for any breach of bond oc-
curring on or after that date.

Transfer of Material.
The Commissioner has recently
denied the request of a tobacco
manufacturer, who operates two
factories, for permission to transfer
lumps of tobacco in process of man
ufacture from one factory to the
other factory, and vice versa, and
which was to be finished and re
turned to the original factory be

was advised that a manufacturer of
tobacco must, under his bond, pro-
vide himself on the bonded factory
premises, with all necessary appli
ances and facilities for stripping,
cutting and twisting his leaf to
bacco, and for manufacturing and
prizing plug tobacco, and thereafter
properly pack, label and stamp the
tobacco before it was removed from

factory operated under a different
bond, although both factories may
be owned by the same person or
firm, and that lumps of tobacco in
process of manufacture can not be
removed at liberty from one factory
to another. It was further advised
that a manufacturer is required to
enter daily on Book 74 the number
of net pounds of lumps of tobacco
made in the lump room, and the
number of packages and pounds
thereof produced in the press room
each day, and that there can be no
deviation from this rule; and that
each factory must be supplied with
its own workshop, storage room
and packing room, and all tobacco
material received at either factory
must be properly accounted for in
Book 74 and monthly return, Form
62. The manufacture of plug to
bacco having been begun, by strip
ping, stemming or manufacturing
the tobacco in lumps, must be com-
pleted and the product properly
labeled and stamped before removal
from the place of manufacture.

Tobacco Chewing Gam.

efforts have been made in the past
to market a chewing gum contain

in various States have lately mani-
fested a desire to engage in the busi

plug tobacco stamps of the denomi-
nation of a, 3. 4 and 5 pounds, and
that the stamps must be properly
canceled by the manufacturer writ-
ing or printing thereon his name
and the date of use, and that if the
gum were put up in wooden boxes
the stamp must be further canceled
by sinking a poation in the wood
with a steel die.

Sale of Leaf Tobacco for Farmers.
In reply to the inquiry of a firm
of commission merchants, who sell
tobacco on commission for farmers
as their agents, as to whether they
were regarded as leaf dealers, and
as such required to pay a special
tax, the Commissioner has ruled
that every person is regarded as a
dealer in leaf tobacco whose busi-
ness it is, for himself or on com-
mission, to sell, or offer for sale, or
consign for sale on commission,
leaf tobacco, and will be required on
the ist day of July of each year, or
on commencing business, to register
with the collector of the district, on
Form 277, his name or style, place
of residence, trade or business, and
the place where such trade or busi-
ness is to be carried on. And,
further, that such registered dealer
must keep Book 59 in duplicate and
enter therein daily the names of
ness. In one case a manufacturer I persons from whom he receives or
stated that he proposed to manu | purchases leaf tobacco, and th«

Chapter XXXI. 'PRINCE FLORIZEL OF THE BOWERY.''

do you? How very youthful you are I

Prince Florizel of the Bowery was

a famous man in his day. He was

the most successful cigar salesman

of his generation. To have been in
the business and not to have known
the Marquis de Lafayette Shprkey
was to confess to shameful ignor-
ance, indeed.

The Bowery, even in its halcyon
days in the early '50's, when it was
a joy to every New Yorker, had no
more resplendent denizen than Mark
Sharkey. His gorgeous waistcoats,
which he numbered by the score,
rivalled the shows in the jewelers'
windows. His smile, so full of good
nature, his twinkling eyes in which
shrewdness had its home, his rosy
cheeks, his crisp curls — surely, there
never was another cigar man like
this Prince Florizel of the Bowery
of fifty years ago.

He was princely in everything he
did, and in nothing more than in his
determination that none of the ci-
garmakers employed in the shops
he conducted, both in New York
city and in certain towns on Long
Island, should earn more wages
than were suitable. Those were 1
primative times in the cigarmaking I
line, pray remember, when good !
workmen were content to earn $10 a
week, and when the more skillful
hands, with ambitions of their own

they made for him, the Marquis was just such a sponsor as the Marcjuis to the Bowery's needs, but there was
in every way princely. He was a de Lafayette Sharkey to give it the not another Prince Florizel. As I

have noted the steady degeneration
of this famous, and once most like-
able of New York's streets, I have
been prompted to speculate upon
what might have been its fate had
not the Marquis de Sharkey deserted
it for a more profitable field. He
was so natural, so wholesome; he
pervaded the Bowery, was so potent
an agency for good, so representa-
tive an American, so looked up to,
so admired, and he loved the Bowery
so well, that I am sure he would
not have permitted it to go to seed,
if only he had been there to pre-
vent it.

Heigho, those old days are no
more. The cigars Mark Sharkey
made are all smoked up long ago,
and even in golden and grateful
California they no longer know his
regalias. But the work that he did
both here at home in New York
and among the lovers of cigars in
the Far West, is something which
will go on forever. It may be, there
will never be another like the Mar-
quis, so genial, so royal, so con-
spicuous. The cigar world has
grown ever larger and larger, its
demands more exacting and more
complex, but I deny that the public
to which the present generation of
cigar manufacturers and cigar sales-
men cater is in any way as pictur-
esque as that old public of the
Bowery in the early '50's which con-

on the boxes containing them? The
double stamp on boxes of imported
cigars is a government certificate
that the cigars contained in such
boxes are made only of tobacco
grown in Cuba, which we admit is
the finest tobacco in the world. If
cigars made in the United States,
of imported Cuban tobacco, had a
stamp equivalent to the govern-
ment's guarantee that they were in
truth made solely of Cuban tobacco,
no one would be hurt."

Did it ever occur to you that
human beings, from the earliest
pre- Adamite times down to our own
day, have had to contend against
giants? Prehistoric man had his
troubles with the dinosaurus, the
ichthyosaurus, and the other mam-
moth creatures that filled air, water
and earth — and still he kept house.

The men of antiquity were con-
fronted by kings whose autocracy
and tyranny were gigantic — never-
theless they kept house. In the
time of Julius Cceser and the Roman
Empire it was the army that de-
voured the substance of the people;
all the same, the people kept house.
In the so called dark ages there
were the robber barons who went
foraging and rampaging around;
notwithstanding which the plain
people managed to find board and
lodging. In the days of the great
nobles, who required so much to
keep up their state, there wasn't
such an awful lot of starvation after
all among untitled men and women.
And even the French Revolution,
which was the greatest and most
harmful trust the world has ever
known, still left enough food to sup-
port over 97 per cent, of the popu-
lation of France.

The mammoths with which we
of this up-to date world are familiar
are the great corporations styled
trusts — and yet last Fourth of July
the children of the United States
had more money to burn up in fire-
works than any children have had
for the past twenty years.

Funny, isn't it, what a hard job
the mammoths of all time have had
to put the rest of creation out of
business?

Cigar Production in igo2.

The Tobacco World's prediction
of several weeks ago that the ofiicial
returns would show that the cigar
industry in New York city is in the
healthiest possible condition is veri-
fied. For the twelve months ended
July I, 1902, there were manufac-
tured in the First New York dis-
trict 81,022,180 cigars, as against
70,932,900 manufactured during
the same period of 1901, an increase
for i902of 10,089,280; in the Second
New York district the production,
during the period named, was 249,-

185,493, as against 188,214,466 in
1901, an increase for 1902 of 60, ■
971,027; the production in the
Third New York district, for the
fiscal year of 1902, was 702,600,-
547, as against 579. 3*0.288 in 1901,
an increase for 1902 of 123,230,259.
This makes a total increase for
Greater New York alone of 194,-
490,566 over 1901. Every internal
revenue district in the state of New
York shows similarly large in-
creases. Thus the Fourteenth dis
trict made 19,060,755 more cigars
in 1902 than it did in, 1901; the in-
crease in the Twenty first New
York district was 3 563,596, and in
the Twenty-eighth it was 1,728,-
165.

The only Pennsylvania district
which showed a falling off was the
First. In 1901 the First Pennsyl-
vania district manufactured 543,-
885,622 cigars. In 1902 its total
product was only 534.254-540, a
decrease of 9,631,082. The pro-
duction in the Ninth Pennsylvania
district for 1902 was 740,979,270, i
as against 734,331,100 in 1901, an j
increase of 6,618,170. The Ninth j
Pennsylvania still maintains its j
position at the head of the cigar |
manufacturing centers of the United
States. The production of «igars
in the Twelfth Pennsylvania dis-
trict during 1902 was 33 746,639,
as against 31,980,160 in 1901, an
increase of 1,766,778; the produc-
tion of cigars in the Twenty-third
Pennsylvania district during 1902
was 362,161,036, as against 348,-
288,900, an increase over 1901 of

■ 13. 872. 136.

According to the tables from
which the foregoing figures are
taken, the total production of ci-
gars in the United States during the
twelve months ended July i, 1902,
was 5 595, 216, 893 as against 4,608, -
746,284 in 1901 , an increase ot al-
most 1 ,000,000,000 in favor of 1902.

How He Counted.

j "How is this, Alexander?" said
Mrs. Pothurst. "You told me at
the beginning of the century that
you were going tostrictly limit your-
self to smoking ten cigarsa day , and,
if I am right in my count, here you
are pufiBng away on your twelfth."
"True, my dear," answered Mr.
P. , * 'this is the twelfth cigar to-day,

, but as a matter of fact I have only
smoked eight. I never smoke over
two thirds of a cigar; can't do it
without scorching my moustache.
Then, if you will think for a mo-
ment,you must see that I have only
smoked eight, which is two-thirds
of twelve, leaving me still two and
a little more to smoke. Kindly pass
the matches,"

The New York l,eaf Market.

Mackinac, Mich., July 20, 1902
Dbar Medicine Man :

There are a number of us small
Michigan cigar manufacturers stop
ping here for the summer. We are
like all members of the tobacco
trade — no matter how far we go
from home we never get away from
the shop. Not one of us has ever
visited the New York leaf market,
though, during the course of the
year we make it worth while for
leaf salesmen, representing New
York houses, to visit our out of the
way factories This afternoon,
after dinner, we got discussing the
New York leaf market. We found
out. after only a very few words
had been exchanged among us, that
we know nothing at all about the
New York leaf market, and we
have accordingly agreed to refer
the following questions to you:

How large is the New York leaf
district ?

In what part of New York city
is it located ?

Are the leaf merchants housed
in sky-scrapers?

Finally, how do the large buyers
do business in the New York leaf
market?

We hope we have not asked more
questions than you will 6nd space
or inclination to answer

Stay-at-Homk Cigarmakers.

The Answer.

The foregoing set of questions is
entirely to my liking, because they
evince on the part of my corres
pondents a healthy and natural in
terest in that section of New York
city which has been for over half a
century, and which will probabiy
always be, the center of the cigar
leaf tobacco trade of the United
States.

I shall answer the questions of
my correspondents seriatim:

The New York leaf district is

not large. It is not so large, for
instance, as the leather district
which adjoins it on the north The
New York leaf tobacco district be
gins properly at Wall and Front
streets, and extends along Front,
Water and Pearl streets to Fulton
street. There are a number of leaf
houses on the intersecting streets —
Pine street, Maiden Lane and Bur
ling Slip. This is the oldest part
of New York city, and tobacco has
been sold in some of the houses on
Water street and Pearl street, first
at retail and afterwards in a whole
sale way, ever since the days of the
first Dutch settlers of New Amster-
dam Indeed, in the dajs of Peter
Stuyvesant, one Dutch burgher had
his farm and grew tobacco, of the
old Dutch Amersfort type, on the
site of what is now the corner of
Water street and Burling Slip.

The New York leaf tobacco dis-
trict is located at almost the ex-
treme southeastern end of Manhat-
tan Island, for a few steps south of
Wall street is Old Slip, and that is
next door to the Battery.

Not a single New York leaf mer-
chant is housed in a sky-scraper.
Almost every one of them is domi
ciled in a four-story red brick build-
ing of the plainest and most unpre-
tentious character, erected forty, or
fifty, or even sixty years ago. In
fact, the only new buildings in the
district are those respectively at
136 Water street. 161 Water street,
140 Maiden Lane and 165 Front
street. There may be one or two
others which I forget at the moment,
but there are only one or two, and
not a single one of the new ones
that I have mentioned is architectur
ally striking.

The large leaf buyers do business
as they like. They do it, in truth,
almost on their own terms, and
everybody appears to be perfectly
contented and happy the year round.
But please do not infer from this
last statement that the leaf mer-
chants of New York are a parcel of
easy- going simpletons, for nothing
could be farther from the truth.
The New York leaf merchants as a
class deserve to rank with the
brightest and most capable men of
business in the entire Metropolis.
They compete keenly one with
another; they are ever diligent in
their business; they keep the closest
watch upon everything that in any
way interests them as leaf mer-
chants; they are considerate em-
ployers; and lastly, they are very
good citizens.

Excepting he desires to come to
New York city for a little holiday,
and that is something that eyery
American should do at least once
in his lifetime, there is no very
great reason why an out of town
cigar manufacturer should come to

New York city for the purpose of
buying his leaf. I am personally
acquainted, I think, with every
New York leaf traveler, and I am
happy to say I can give each of the
"boys" as high a character for
truthfulness, industry, and techincal
knowledge as I can give to his em-
ployer. Their representations as
to their wares are to be trusted.
The competition between them is
so earnest and so unceasing that
every buyer, no matter where lo-
cated, may depend upon getting
prices just as reasonable as he could
get them if he came to New York
in person.

If I have failed to answer my
Mackinac correspondents as fully
as they could desire, I hope they
will write me again. The subject
they have broached is a most in-
teresting one, and I shall be pleased
to continue the discussion of it at
any time. The Medicine Man.

Smoke Vanities in Vienna.

A Cl^ar Loving Princess and Her
Match-making Schemes*

Vienna, July 10, 1902

Dear Quakers and Knickerbockers:

Give me German Gemuetlichkeit
in preference to French gaiety every
time. The one is congenial, the
other soon palls upon the taste. I
greatly prefer Vienna to Paris.
Austria is not Germany, it is true,
and in many particulars the old
Kaiserstadt upon the Danube is far
behind Berlin; but then, I am in
Vienna, and Berlin I reserve for a
future letter.

Wherever I go in this pleasant
old town I seem to be accompanied
by the strains of one of Strauss 's
waltzes. The people, and in especial,
the very pretty women, appear to
glide to music, rather than to walk
in the prosaic way common to the
inhabitants of other cities.

And over the whole city there is
the incense of tobacco smoke; of the
smoke of good tobacco, for the
Austrian regie understands its busi-
ness. The smoking tobacco, the
cigars and the cigarettes which it
manufactures are uncommonly good
and very reasonable in price. The
tobacco lovers of Austria appear to
be emancipating themselves from
the pipe. Even the poor among
them have put their pipes away, and
now go about with cigarettes be
tween their teeth.

Whether it is owing to the excel-
lence of the products turned out by
their regie, or whether it is owing
to other causes, I am unable to say,
but the fact remains that the Aus-
trians are great lovers of tobacco.
In the hotels, restaurants and cafes
of Vienna I have remarked some
singular smoke vanities. For in-
stance, at one great hotel I have

seen a very great lady, aged and in-
firm, light a huge cigar at the very
dinner table, while her husband,
her son, yes, and her daughter, too,
each smoked a cigarette. The story
of this family is well known The
old Princess is one of those
lion hearted women, able, by the
force of her character and the clear-
ness of her brain, to keep the family
fortunes together in spite of the
follies and the vices of her husband
and her son. Just now she is said
to be trying to find a wife for her
son, who is quite ready, so great is
his respect for his mother's judg-
ment, to take any bride she may
select for him. But the old princess
is most exacting. The bride to be
must be enormously rich, that is
one essential; but the first require-
ment of all is that she must be
physically robust and of keen busi-
ness intelligence. There are few
such in Europe, but there are a few,
and Mamma Princess' present choice
is said to be an Italian principessa,
related to the Torlonia, a great
horsewoman, and, which is most to
the Austrian matchmaker's taste, a
cigarsmoker If the Italian ladycan
be won, it will not be by the wooing
of the young man, for of all the
incapables in Austria, and the Aus-
trian nobles are as a rule mighty
poor specimens, he is surely the
most absurd. Yet the name he
bears is one of the oldest in Austria,
and the estates to which he is heir
are still enormously productive,
thanks to his mother's manage-
ment.

But, pouf ! I'm not talking about
tobacco, saving incidentally when I
mentioned the great lady's una-
bashed action in lighting her cigar
at a hotel dinner table. Since she
loves tobacco so well, let us hope
her son may win the Italian princess
or some other who shall be just as
acceptable to his mamma.

Here we are again ir the free air
of Vienna, and among the amiable
people who throng the streets ard
congregate in the city's innumerable
resorts. A haze of blue tobacco
smoke over all. Most of them
drink beer, but wine is also cheap,
and good, and plentiful. The menu
in every restaurant frequented by
self respecting people here is varied
and pleasing, and the prices exceed-
ingly reasonable. The Viennese
know how to live, and also how to
smoke. The "Virginianer" is in
almost every man's mouth, while
the ladies are not afraid to smoke
cigarettes. The "Virginias" of
Austria arecheaper than ourstogies,
and so good that I do not wonder
the Emperor himself prefers them to
anything else. They are excellently
made, of well seasoned tobaccos,
and I myself have fallen in love
with them.

out, after only a very few words
had been exchanged among us, that
we know nothing at all about the
New York leaf market, and we
have accordingly agreed to refer
the following questions to you:

How large is the New York leaf
district ?

In what part of New York city
is it located ?

Are the leaf merchants housed
in sky-scrapers?

Finally, how do the large buyers
do business in the New York leaf
market?

We hope we have not asked more
questions than you will find space
or inclination to answer.

Stav-at-Home Cigarmakers.

The Answer.

The foregoing set of questions is
entirely to my liking, because they
evince on the part of my corres
pondents a healthy and natural in
terest in that section of New York
city which has been for over half a
century, and which will probably
always be, the center of the cigar
leaf tobacco trade of the United
States.

I shall answer the questions of
my correspondents seriatim:

The New York leaf district is

not large. It is not so large, for
instance, as the leather district
which adjoins it ou the north. The
New York leaf tobacco district be
gins properly at Wall and Front
streets, and extends along Front,
Water and Pearl streets to Fulton
street. There are a number of leaf
houses on the intersecting streets —
Pine street, Maiden Lane and Bur
ling Slip. This is the oldest part
of New York city, and tobacco has
been sold in some of the houses on
Water street and Pearl street, first
at retail and afterwards in a whole
sale way, ever since the days of the
first Dutch settlers of New Amster-
dam Indeed, in the dajs of Peter
Stuyvesant, one Dutch burgher had
his farm and grew tobacco, of the
old Dutch Amersfort type, on the
site of what is now the corner of
Water street and Burling Slip.

The New York leaf tobacco dis-
trict is located at almost the ex-
treme southeastern end of Manhat-
tan Island, for a few steps south of
Wall street is Old Slip, and that is
next door to the Battery.

Not a single New York leaf mer-
chant is housed in a sky-scraper.
Almost every one of them is domi
ciled in a four-story red brick build-
ing of the plainest and most unpre-
tentious character, erected forty, or
fifty, or even sixty years ago. In
fact, the only new buildings in the
district are those respectively at
136 Water street, 161 Water street,
140 Maiden Line and 165 Front
street. There may be one or two
others which I forget at the moment,
but there are only one or two, and
not a single one of the new ones
that I have mentioned is architectur
ally striking.

The large leaf buyers do business
as they like. They do it, in truth,
almost on their own terms, and
everybody appears to be perfectly
contented and happy the year round.
But please do not infer from this
last statement that the leaf mer-
chants of New York are a parcel of
easy-going simpletons, for nothing
could be farther from the truth.
The New York leaf merchants as a
class deserve to rank with the
brightest and most capable men of
business in the entire Metropolis.
They compete keenly one with
another; they are ever diligent in
their business; they keep the closest
watch upon everything that in any
way interests them as leaf mer-
chants; they are considerate em-
ployers; and lastly, they are very
good citizens.

Excepting he desires to come to

New York city for a little holiday,

and that is something that eyery

American should do at least once
in his lifetime, there is no very
great reason why an out of town
cigar manufacturer should come to

New York city for the purpose of
buying his leaf. I am personally
acquainted, I think, with every
New York leaf traveler, and I am
happy to say I can give each of the
"boys" as high a character for
truthfulness, industry, and techincal
knowledge as I can give to his em-
ployer. Their representations as
to their wares are to be trusted.
The competition between them is
so earnest and so unceasing that
every buyer, no matter where lo-
cated, may depend upon getting
prices just as reasonable as he could
get them if he came to New York
in person.

If I have failed to answer my
Mackinac correspondents as fully
as they could desire, I hope they
will write me again. The subject
they have broached is a most in-
teresting one, and I shall be pleased
to continue the discussion of it at
any time. The Medicine Man.

Smoke Vanities in Vienna.

A Cigar Loving Princess and Her
Match-malting Schemes*

Vienna, July 10, 1902

Dear Quakers and Knickerbockers:

Give me German Gemuetlichkeit
in preference to French gaiety every
time. The one is congenial, the
other soon palls upon the taste. I
greatly prefer Vienna to Paris.
Austria is not Germany, it is true,
and in many particulars the old
Kaiserstadt upon the Danube is far
behind Berlin; but then, I am in
Vienna, and Berlin I reserve for a
future letter.

Wherever I go in this pleasant
old town I seem to be accompanied
by the strains of one of Strauss 's
waltzes. The people, and in especial,
the very pretty women, appear to
glide to music, rather than to walk
in the prosaic way common to the
inhabitants of other cities.

And over the whole city there is
the incense of tobacco smoke; of the
smoke of good tobacco, for the
Austrian regie understands its busi-
ness. The smoking tobacco, the
cigars and the cigarettes which it
manufactures are uncommonly good
and very reasonable in price. The
tobacco lovers of Austria appear to
be emancipating themselves from '
the pipe. Even the poor among
them have put their pipes away, and
now go about with cigarettes be
tween their teeth.

Whether it is owing to the excel-
lence of the products turned out by
their regie, or whether it is owing
to other causes, I am unable to say,
but the fact remains that the Aus-
trians are great lovers of tobacco.
In the hotels, restaurants and cafes
of Vienna I have remarked some
singular smoke vanities. For in-
stance, at one great hotel I have

seen a very great lady, aged and in-
firm, light a huge cigar at the very
dinner table, while her husband,
her son, yes, and her daughter, too,
each smoked a cigarette. The story
of this family is well known The
old Princess is one of those
lion hearted women, able, by the
force of her character and the clear-
ness of her brain, to keep the family
fortunes together in spite of the
follies and the vices of her husband
and her son. Just now she is said
to be trying to find a wife for her
son, who is quite ready, so great is
his respect for his mother's judg-
ment, to take any bride she may
select for him. But the old princess
is most exacting. The bride to be
must be enormously rich, that is
one essential; but the first require-
ment of all is that she must be
physically robust and of keen busi-
ness intelligence. There are few
such in Europe, but there are a few,
and Mamma Princess' present choice
is said to be an Italian principessa,
related to the Torlonia, a great
horsewoman, and, which is most to
the Austrian matchmaker's taste, a
cigarsmoker If the Italian ladycan
be won, it will not be by the wooing
of the young man, for of all the
incapables in Austria, and the Aus-
trian nobles are as a rule mighty
poor specimens, he is surely the
most absurd. Yet the name he
bears is one of the oldest in Austria,
and the estates to which he is heir
are still enormously productive,
thanks to his mother's manage-
ment.

But, pouf ! I'm not talking about
tobacco, saving incidentally when I
mentioned the great lady's una-
bashed action in lighting her cigar
at a hotel dinner table. Since she
loves tobacco so well, let us hope
her son may win the Italian princess
or some other who shall be just as
acceptable to his mamma.

Here we are again it? the free air
of Vienna, and among the amiable
people who throng the streets ard
congregate in the city's innumerable
resorts. A haze of blue tobacco
smoke over all. Most of them
drink beer, but wine is also cheap,
and good, and plentiful. The menu
in every restaurant frequented by
self respecting people here is varied
and pleasing, and the prices exceed-
ingly reasonable. The Viennese
know how to live, and also how to
smoke. The "Virginianei" is in
almost every man's mouth, while
the ladies are not afraid to smoke
cigarettes. The "Virginias" of
Austria arecheaper than ourstogies,
and so good that I do not wonder
the Emperor himself prefers them to
anything else. They are excellently
made, of well seasoned tobaccos,
and I myself have fallen in love
with them.

The cigarettes of Austria are of
various kinds. Those made ol
Turkish tobacco are particularly
good. The best of them are far
dearer than the most expensive
with which American smokers are
familiar The finest and costliest
come from Bosnia Herzegovina, and
readily command $25 per thousand.
They are superb. The tobacco of
which they are made is said to be
mountain grown.

I am so in love with Vienna and
with the delightful ' ' Virginias, ' ' and
the divinely fine cigarettes of little
half wild Bosnia Herzegovina that
ifl weren't a New Yorker, contented
with the tobacco products of my
own land, I could be contented to
settle down here for the rest of my
life.

The market for the week ending
July 29 has developed considerably
more strength, and sales foot up 5,-
500 bales in all, of which 3.300
bales represent new Vuelta Abajo
and Partido factory vegas, about
1.700 bales old Vuelta Abajo and
Partido low grades (colas) and only
500 bales old Remedios. While the
demand for the first named is in
creasing, rather than slackening,
Remedios still continues to be more
of less neglected. The fault, how-
ever, lies simply in the absence of
the northern buyers, and until they
reappear no decided improvement
in prices or volume of business may
be looked for. That the consump
tion of Remedios in the United
States hasnot increased, and on the
contrary may have decreased a
little, may also account for the
apathy shown; still with an ac-
knowledged short new crop in sight,
leaving the question of quality and
lateness of curing out the question,
it appears strange that some specu-
lators have not taken hold of this
article ere this.

New Crop.
Pinar del Rio reports that Don
Alfredo Ettlinger, of the firm of E
Hoflfman & Sons, had purchased, in
conjunction with broker Don Baldo
mero Junco Alea, three lots of to-
bacco, viz: of Senores Feran y
Hermanos, Don Eusequio Gonzalez
and Don Juan Garcia, It is said
that the prices paid were calientes
("hot"). The total purchases are
said to amount to about 1,200 bales
of the finest growths. In general
Don Alfredo claims, however, that
he was disappointed with this year's
Vuelta Abajo tobacco, as famous

vegas which he had purchased in
former years this year contained a
large amount of the abominable dry
yellow leaves, and he would not
have accepted such even as a gift.

Partidos. — No change to report;
everything desirable has been bought
up in the country by the various
escojidas that are going on all over
the district, and it is selling as fast
as it is brought to the market in
Havana.

New Remedios — A few people
claim now that the quality is not as
bad as has been said before; still
that the crop is short and that the
leaf is also very stunted in appear-
ance is not denied by anybody.
Prices for matules (the bundled to-
bacco) are said to have advanced
forty per cent, through competition
of some buyers who wished to make
some small trial packings in order
to keep in the swim.

Departures.

Don Adolfo Moeller finally left
for a short trip North on July 19, on
the Morro Castle.

Cluar Factories.
Suarez & Co. -In the issue of The
Tobacco World of July 9, it was
stated that La Flor de J. S. Murias
y Ca. had retained a branch office at
Santiago de las Vegas. This is
denied, as upon moving to the
palace of "Villalba," Egido No. 2.
in Havana, the branch factory at
Santiago was abandoned. There
are rumors that this factory has
been acquired by the Havana To-
bacco Co , and while the contract
may not have been signed, it is
stated that quite a respectable sum
of money had been deposited with a
banking house to the credit of the
firm of Suarez & Co. It is said that
the amount to be paid for the branch
is $\ ,000,000, and that the stock on
hand is to be taken over by the
purchasers at cost price. The head
book keeper in the house denies the
truth of the above statements, al-
though admitting that negotiations
might be on foot, which could result
finally in the sale of the factory.
That the Havana Tobacco Co. is
anxious to secure the control of this
highly important factory, owing to
its large output of cigars, admits of
scarcely any doubt.

' ' La Belinda ' '-This small factory,
carried on by Francisco Menendez,'
is also stated to have been sold to
the Havana Tobacco Co.

Rabell, Costa & Co. absolutely
deny the rumor of the absorption of
their La Cruz Roja, Ramon Al-
lones. Marques de Rabell, and the
Romeo y Julieta brands.

Trustworthy Suinplers'
Tickets.

F. C. Linde, Hamilton & Co., of
182 Pearl street, New York, original
New York seed leaf tobacco in-
spectors, whose reputation for good
faith and conscieuiious tobacco in
spection goes back to 1864, when
their business was established, are
as enterprising as they are honor-
able. Their full page advertise
ment in colors printed elsewhere in
this week's Tobacco World bears its
own message to every leaf buyer and
every cigar manufacturer in the
United States. It is one of the
handsomest advertisements that has
ever appeared in a tobacco trade
paper, and it is especially timely be-
cause it is at this season of the year
that the sampling of seed leaf is be
ginning.

F. C. Linde, Hamilton & Go's ad
vertisement informs the reader that
the bright yellow ticket with its
conspicuous seal, and a duplicate of
F. C. Linde's signature, all so faith
fully represented, is "a facsimile of
our ticket and the old reliable Linde
sample as drawn by the original
New York Seed Leaf Tobacco In-
sptclion, established in 1864, of
standard reputation for ability,
knowledge, experience and integ
rity. It stands for honest impartial,
reliable representation. Guaranteed
by responsible parties. Insures an
unquestionable medium of sale and
purchase."

In bright red to the left appears
this important caution: "When
sampling or buying tobacco see the
ticket used is same as this."

Frazier M. Dolbeer, the present
very competent head of the old firm
of F. C. Linde, Hamilton & Co ,
has been connected with the firm
since 1874. The firm has branches
in all cigar leaf tobacco centres. It
has a large corps of thoroughly
capable inspectors in its employ,
and gives to its patrons prompt and
courteous attention and satisfactory
service.

The Name of Bock it- Co,
in Litigation,

Suit has been instituted in the
United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York by
the Henry Clay and Bock & Co.,
Ltd., against Bock & Co., cigar
manufacturers of 133 Reade street.
New York, asking for an injunc
tion and damages for alleged unfair
trading methods, the infringement

of brands and labels, and especially
the use of the firm name of Bock &
Co. by the defendants.

Wise & Lichtenstein appear for
the complainant.

The bill of complaint gives a very
full history of the long-established
firm of Bock & Co., of Aguila de
Oro fame, of Havana, and recites
the incorporation of Henry Clay
and Bock & Co., Ltd. The bill of
complaint sets forth that the crea-
tion of the defendant firm was con-
cerned with a view to appropriat-
ing the good will and trade of the
Havana corporation. It is charged
that confusion of the two products
arises, and that unscrupulous dealers
are prone to substitute one kind of
goods for the other.

Bock & Co., of New York, it
may be explained, are doing busi-
ness under names which are honestly
their own, yet in cases precisely
like the present one courts have

held that that fact does not consti-
tute a valid defense.

Bock & Co. of New York manu-
facture clear Havana cigars. Their
leading brand is Don Antonio.

PHILA. LEAF MARKET,

The local market was somewhat
enlivened during the past week by
the sale of about 500 cases Zimmer
Spanish by a local house. Besides,
there is already a more than abund-
ant demand for binder leaf and
samples. The new tobacco is being
awaited with increasing interest.
Light wrapper goods sell freely.
Force sweated Connecticut is also
changing hands readily. There are
strong indications of an early im-
provement.

Sumatra conditions are fair, and
the new goods are meeting with
more favor than at first.

Havana is fairly active, consider-
ing the season of the year.

New York Leaf Market,

It is still mid-summer, even
though theie has been more
"coolth" than warmth in theatmos-
pher.

In Sumatra the purchaser's rule
still appears to be to confine him-
self to single bale orders, but he is
bound to get "gay" very soon.

The Havana importers say busi-
ness is good for this time of year.

The packers of domestic leaf an-
nounce no large single transactions.

The Trade at Home

OThe local cigar trade during the
week has been quiet but steady.
Retail dealers are doing a fairly
good summer trade. The vacation
season has proven somewhat of an
impetus in the box trade. A major-
ity of our jobbing houses are doing
only a moderate trade in cigars, and
mostly of the cheaper grades. Sales
of the American Cigar Company's
products are not running very heavy
just now.

JOHN S. GELLKR, SONS & CO. TO
INCORPORATE.

The cigar and tobacco jobbing
house of John S. Geller, Sons &
Co. has given notice that it will
make application for a charter on
Monday, August 4, at Harrisburg.
The incorporators will be John S.
Geller, W. P Geller, A. W. Geller
and N. T, Weser. The capital is
to be $50,000. The new corpora-
tion will take over the business
now being conducted at Norristown,
Pa., 113 S. 9th street, Philadelphia
and 436 7th street, N. W., Wash-
ington, D. C

This house has made a specialty
of anti trust goods ever since its
establishment here, and is appar-
ently meeting with success.

They handle practically all brands
of independent goods that are on
the market, and have also put out
several special brands themselves,
among which are Our Billy, a 3-cent
cigar. This brand was also recently
adopted for manufactured tobacco.

They are local distributors for W.
K. Gresh & Son's Pathfinder and
othtr brands of cigars.

FELLHEIMER & CO. EXPANDING.

About March ist S. Fellheimer &
Co. removed from 4th and Race
streets to 70 N. 4th street, where a
more spacious floor was obtainable
A neat retail department was opened
and an extra strong effort was made
to spread the sale of their goods
among the trade in this city and
vicinity.

Recently the firm also opened a
branch establishment at 10 S. 9th
street, where three workmen are
employed, and a retail department
is also 'conducted.

Their specialty has been the M
E. G., made up in Londres and
Conchas and retailing at .5 cents.
Lately, however, a clear Havana
cigar was produced under the name
Marquito, and made in four sizes.
It is also haying a nice sale.

MORRIS LESSER AGAIN WITH
VICENTE PORTUONDO.

Morris Lesser has again joined
the selling forces of the Vicente
Portuondo factory. He had been
with the house some years ago. He
is popular and has a desirable client-
age, which will no doubt make his
acquisition valuable to the house.

LIPSCHUTZ TAKES ANOTHER FLOOR

B. Lipschutz, of "44" fame, has
added another floor, to his factory
space, on Filbert street near Thir-
teenth, which will give him facilities
for seating about fifty additional
hands.

SALESMEN VISIT HEADQUARTERS.

John T. Dee, Chicago representa-
tive of the Theobald & Oppenheimer
Company, Mr. Marshall, Southern
and Western representative, and the
New England representative of the

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or marl( wrap

pers. It is also the only self-
siiarpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
stakes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can b«
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best

This is aurgumented by the demand

The La Buta Cigar Co. is still

— A new cigar and tobacco store

— Fred Fauth has succeeded
!>Fauth Bros., cigar manufacturers
at Aurora, 111., purchasing the in-
terest of G. A. & Wm. Fauth.

— Peter Mohr, at Belleville, 111.,
has just taken possession of a build-
ing occupied by his predecessor in
1863, at the Southeast corner of
Public Square.

— The cigarmaker's strike which
had been threatening the cigar man-
ufacturers of Aurora, III., for several
weeks has been safely averted, and
is now satisfactorily settled.

— The Wholesale Tobacconists
Company, of New York, has been
formed, with a capital of $20,000.
The Directors are Joseph Levenson,
Max Newman and Meyer Bloom,
all of New York.

— The Waterloo Cigar Co., of
Waterloo, Ind., is experimenting
in raising tobacco this season, and
have a large part of a town lot in
plants. They predict with proper
treatment the efifort will be a suc-
cess.

— The cigar factory of Fitzgerald
& Cameron, of Chicago, III., form-
erly located at 2-4-6 Clark street,
has been moved out to Rockefeller,
111., on account of the strike of the
workmen for the union bill of prices.
The men went on strike about three
months ago, and completely tied
the factory up. They will follow

it to its new location, and keep up
the fight.

— Local cigarmakers of Chicago,
III., are to inaugurate an aggressive
campaign against the Carl Upmann
cigar. Some years ago they say,
Upmann was a union manufacturer,
but locked his employes out and
hired girls to operate the machines.
The cigarmakers say that his busi-
ness has dwindled from 200 men
formerly employed to about thirty-
five at the present time. The fight
against the cigar here is to be made
on the request of the New York
cigarmakers, where the factory is
located, as they claim that Chicago
is the best market the cigar now has.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

THIS MEANS
0 a YOU 0 i^

You undoubtedly consider yourself a pro-
gressive and enterprising cigar manufacturer and
as such we direct this advertisement directly

at your head.

We have been telling you considerable
about the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

We have heard from a great many cigar
manufacturers and are placing these tables at a
gratifying rate. If we haven't heard from you
—If you haven't taken
the pains to find out all
about this new table,
doesn't it strike you
that it is about time
you did ?

We offer this table
to you solely on its
merits — what it can do
and is doing, not what
we or anybody else
s-ays.

This table wherever
installed proves abso-
lutely that it results in a
better product, turned out
in less time and at less
cost.

Mow, here are some
of the most important
things in the cigar
making industry — quality — economy — speed.
The DuBrul Dieless Suction Table, therefore,
becomes one of the prime requisites of a pro-
gressive business.

it needs no argument to show that a sharp
circular knife can cut a better wrapper than a
die, which is more or less dull, no matter how
careful you are.

It needs no argument to show that an

operator can roll upon an open space a better
cigar than could be done hampered by dies and
rollers and confused with different operations
of the feet, to say nothing of a complicated
mechanism to care for.

It needs no argument to show that the
elimination of dies, rollers and all other accom-
panying makeshift mechanical parts is a step
toward simplification which must mean econo-
my of both time and
expense.

In no other .way in
the world can >ou get
so perfect a wrapper, get
so many wrappers out
of the stock or get so
well made a cigar as by
the use of this table.

Now, if these things
are true, it must be
equally true that you
ought to have the
DuBrul Dieless Suction
Table and have it at
once.

We stand ready to
prove to }'ou that they
are true.
■■^- ^- --—m:^ " I All we ask is for an

opportunity to do this,

and it seems to us that we ought to have it.

always to commence at or near the
butts, where it is very difficult for
the surplus moisture to escape. It
hardly seems possible that we have
had warm weather enough to induce
very much of a fermentation yet.

Our own examination of the
growing crop accords with those
expressed by our correspondents,
that the stand is an excellent one,
but for the lack of warm weather
the plants make a slow growth.
Reports as follows:

Northfield: "The tobacco crop
in this town is doing well, but a
little later than usual. Cutworms
have not been very troublesome.
We have had considerable rain and
it may have kept it back a little."

East Hartford. •• Tobacco that
was set early was topped last week
and early this week. Toppingcom-
menced July lo. I think the crop
is showing up pretty well for this
cool and wet season."

Feeding Hills: *'A severe elec-
trical storm, with hail, on the after-
noon of Tuesday, July 15, and did
much damage in certain sections to
the growing crop of tobacco. Late
set will probably recover, but some
of the earlier pieces are practically
ruined, including the greater part
of the Hinsdale Smith farm that is
not under cover. Other suflFerers
are: Messrs. Huntley, Taylor Bros.,
Granger and Burns."

Conway: "The storm and wind
of the 15th, did some damage to
early pieces of tobacco. The rain
of the last two days is helping the
crops on dry land. Nearly all the
growers will have to top some this
week."

North Hatfield: "The rain of
the last two days was very welcome,
as the ground was getting quite dry.
Topping of tobacco is being done;
the crop is looking well. — Amer.
Cultivator.

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
Albert Cahn, representing Elias
Bach & Son of New York, is regis-
tered at the Seneca House and has
been riding with E. Z. Frazee. He
is looking for 1901 tobacco of good
quality and is reported to have
purchased several crops at private
terms. Thtre have been no ship-
ments made from the local ware-
houses. In most cases the new crop
is looking well, the fine weather of
the past few days improving the ap-
pearance of the growing plants to
quite a large extent.— Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.
The week has been one of heavy
storms and excessive rainfalls and
throughout the growing sections
farmers of this state have found but
little time to devote to the tobacco
fields, either for cultivation or top-
ping which is now well started.

Hail also fell in limited areas, but
the damage resulting is meager
compared to the injury by the heavy
winds that accompanied the storm
in some localities. While the fields
are making a rapid growth, the
condition of the growing crop is
not as favorable as it would be under
the influence of more sun and drier
weather.

There is absolutely no news about
the warehouses to be gleaned con-
cerning transactions in cured leaf.
A fraction of last season's crop
still remains in first hands but no
disposition to lift it can be detected
at present.

The market is equally dull in old
leaf among local packers. The sale
of a car lot by L. 'B. Carle & Son
is the only transaction coming to
notice.

109 hhds. Holders are not dis-
posed to ofi"er their good and fine

The condition of growing crop is
estimated at one-third to three-
quarters of average. Weather con-
tinues dry and cool for week, not
favorable to growth. Private sales
on the quiet continue liberal. Fac-

Our receipts this week were 295 hhds;
offerings on the breaks, 488 hhds; sales,
410 hhds.

The offerings, as they have been
during the season, were mainly of
Leaf. The market was active, and
prices for all useful qualities
stronger, except for the lowest grade
of Leaf. Lugs were firm.

The weather remains dry and is
again hot, and farmers are needing
rain for the crops in the field. The
water courses are now near the low
water mark.

Segar Store Suggestions.

Increasing Summer Trade.

Every possible attempt should
be made to attract customers during
the coming month. July is trying,
as a rule, though this year it has
been unusually comfortable, but
August is generally worsethan July,
and may possibly be so this year.
In any case, there is more or less
diflficulty in holding business up to
the average.

Numerous causes contribute to
the reduction, among which may
be included the natural inclination
to move about as little as possible
when in the city, and the annual
and rapidly increasing exodus to
the country and the shore. Fre
quently a dealer's best customers
are absent during a larger part of
the time from the middle of June
to the middle of Septemb»»r. And
it doesn't take very many absentees
to reduce profits appreciably.

Recognizing this fact, disagreea-
ble though it may be, it becomes
necessary to make some attempt to
overcome it. Reduction of ex-
penses is scarcely possible. Rents
and other fixed charges are the
same whether trade is good or bad,
and other necessary expenditures
will not vary much from the aver-
age. Consequently it is scarcely
possible to improve the situation
much at that end. Increased trade
is really the only solution of the
troublesome summer problem, and
every dealer appreciates the fact
that much increase in the dullest
time of the year is not the easiest
thing ever undertaken.

But even though there are ap-
parently insurmountable diflBculties
in the way, that is no reason why
the attempt should not be made-
It is certain to bring some addi-
tional trade, and every increase,
however slight, is worth trying for
There is always the probability,
too, that a new customer secured
in July and August will be perma-
nent, and after all that is the in-
portant thing — to make as many |
permanent customers as possible.
Possibly they may not be large
ones, but a number of small pur-
chasers run the total sales up to
the same figure that one large one
reaches, and there is always the
knowledge that each one of the
small buyers has friends, and that
the aggregate of these friends may
lead to still further enlargement in
the list of customers. It is well
worth while, then, to increase the
number of buyers all you can, even 1
though the quantity purchased by \
individuals may be relatively small, i

The best thing to be done under
such unfavorable circumstances,
is to improve the attractiveness of
your store. Any thing, or any place, i

that looks cool is particularly in-

j viting at this time ot year, and
speaking in a general way, thai
retail establishment which seeks to
convey the impression of coolnes;-
as emphatically as possible will be
the one to secure the bulk of the
summer business.

Accepting this as a prepositior

I worth considering and following, ii
will be seen that the way is com
paratively easy. Turn your store
into a reminder of country scene?
and introduce such means of cooling
the atmosphere as you can. The
expense need not be large, since you
can do practically all the work
yourself, but the improvement and
attractiveness will be marked, and
that will mean increased sales. If
you do no more than pay your ad-
ditional expenses, charge it to ad
vertising account, and consider the
money well .spent.

Probably no detailed directions
for transforming your store into an

I attractive place are necessary. The
main thing is to make it look and
feel cool and inviting. This neces-
sitates a current of air, and the little
electric fans, which are so cheap
now, can be introduced to keep the
air in motion. If several of them
are placed in different parts of the
room the cross currents thus created
will keep the air in constant agita
tion. with a very pleasing result.

Your windows should be decor-
ated to emphasize the same idea.

land changed often. It doesn't
matter particularly how you do it.
Plants, flowers, hunting trophies,
and other things of that character
are all useful in this direction, and
should be utilized to the fullest ex
tent. One thing will suggest an-
other, and any retailer will think of
scores of ways as soon as he has
begun which will increase his trade
by attracting additional purchasers
These suggestions are offered
merely as an outline of what can be
done, and are in no sense explicit

directions.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS

Special Tax Liability.
Replying to a letter from the col
lector who stated that a manufac
turer of cigars had commenced busi-
ness on July I, 190 1, and purchased
the entire stock of a cigar manu-
facturer as his successor, paid a
special tax of $12, predi'^ated on
the sales of a former manufacturer
for the preceding fiscal year, but
that he had made and sold more
than 200,000 cigars; and the ques
tion was whether he should be re-
quired to pay the maximum rate of
special tax, $24 It was advised
that the manufacturer would be re-
quired to pay a special tax predic-
ated on his personal sales during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902,

Chapter XXXIL ''ON A ROOF TOP IN BAGDADJ'

By Stephen G. Ruth.

in my mind, and it was realized.
The couch upon which I reposed

I wonder if that wise-looking guy
skulking around the rear entrance
of the tobacco warehouse over there
can be my old friend of the Arabian
Nights, Haroun al Raschid, in one
of his lightning ehange disguises.
I will analyse him through my field
glass: He is tall and supple, so
was Haroun; his port is majestic,
so was Haroun 's; he has a flowing
beard, so had Haroun; his tread is
catlike, so, it is lecorded, if I re-
member rightly, was Haroun's.
But he is alone, and it was not un-
attended that the dear Sultan of the
greatest of story books went about,
for in whatever costume Haroun
did his prowling, he was always
followed — at a respectful distance —
by those charged with his personal
safety. On closer inspection, my
friend down below does not look
so very sultanesque, after all. And
what on earth is he doing now?
By all the afridis, he is rolling a
cigarette with some scraps he has
picked up in the street! Alas, this
skulker is not Haroun, and I can
tell no story that Sheherezade might
have claimed for her own were she
but alive to read it.

This is modern Bagdad, and not
the slow old town of cloudland and
of mystery. There are mosques
in the distance, with rounded tops
just like that which caps the library
of Columbia University. There are
minarets, too, and this afternoon,
at the regulation hour, muezzins
by the dozen will be calling the
faithful to prayer. The roof top
upon which I am seated is cool and
comfortable, and I don't know when
I have enjoyed a cigar more. The
blue smok* mounts lazily into the
Arabian air, rather too lazily, in
fact, for it is somewhat heavier than
the smoke of the tobacco which the
good people of Bagdad smoke in
their chibouques or their cigarettes.
I have tried that tobacco. It is
locally famous, but I think it's a
fraud. It's grown right around
Bagdad and cultivated in the Turk-

a cigar on a roof top in Bagdad!
Doesn't it sound up to date and yet
bookish? The people here are polite
and courteous in the punctilious,
oriental way, but nevertheless I can
see how they marvel at me. When
I lighted the first cigar I smoked in

a chibouque, the cigar was really
the only thing to smoke. If I only
had time I really believe I could

mustn't think because Bagdad is
known to most of us only as a city
in a story book that it is a town
without a future. It's a real city
in a somewhat drowsy oriental
world, but there are all manner of
possibilities in its immediate future.

We got our knowledge of the
cigarette from these oriental people;
our patronage is helping to make
their tobacco growers and packers
rich. Wouldn't it be fair to our-
selves to send them our cigars in
return?

They are so very oriental in Bag-
dad, regular Mohammedan PurUans
in fact, that they would probably
not buy cigars made by infidel
hands, but we could get over that
difficulty by sending a few Syrians
from New York to teach the Bag-
daddies to make their own cigars,
and that would square everything,
I think.

And then fancy how the walls of
Bagdad would look if they were to
blossom out with cigar posters litho-
graphed in the American style!
Talk about fields for cigar enter-
prise! We know all about lan-
guishing oriental girls smoking ci-
garettes on our posters; at least, we
know as much as the artists know
who are responsible for those pic-
ture* Let us give the people of
Bagdad some pictures of cigar-
smoking western ladies — I am told
there are such — in return. Maybe
that wouldn't create a sensation in

those people, in whose blood an
agelong languor lingers, would
welcome. I know, because they
have told me so.

And I feel that the cigar would

have a chance in Bagdad. Yes, an

What to Do to Be Saved.

A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions in the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.

"Gentlemen, we have great problems
We can only aolve them by degrees. We
can only solve them by doing well each
particular bit of work as it comes up for
solution. Much of it can be done along
the lines of supervision and regulation of
the great industrial combinations which
have become so marked a feature in our
civilization, but if we recklessly try, with-
out proper thought, without proper cau-
tion, to do too much, we ahall either do
nothing or else we shall work a ruin that
will be felt most acutely among those of
the citizens who are most helpless.

"It is no easy task to deal with the
great industrial tendencies . To deal with
them in a spirit of presumptuous and rash
folly, above all to deal with them in a
spirit of envy, and hatred, and malice,
would be to invite disaster; a disaster
which would be so wide-spread that this
country would rock to its foundations
The Mississippi sometimes causes im-
mense damage by flood. You can't dam
it and stop the floods, but you can regu-
late them and control them by levees.
You can regulate and control the current,
you can eliminate its destructive features,
and you can do it only by studying what
the current is and what your own powers
are."- From President Roosevelt's fourth
of July speech at Pittsburg.

XIII.

Youth and Age, both exemplified
in the persons of two members of
the tobacco trade, were taking an
airing the other day on the roof of
a Fifth avenue stage. As they
passed the Constable building at
Eighteenth street, Youth shook its
fist at the windows of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company and ex-
claimed:

••I'd like to cut the throat of
every wolf in that building."

••Are we already at the Zoo,
then?" asked Age rubbing its eyes.

••No," answered Youth, testily,
"we arc nowhere near the Zoo. I
mean the fellows in the Tobacco
Trust."

•'Since you call them wolves,"

remarked Age, quietly, "I wonder
what they'd call you, supposing
they knew there was such a microbe
on earth? Let me tell you, young
man, there are some mighty estima-
ble and worthy gentlemen behind
those windows."

♦•Well," answered Youth, "why
don't they show it then? Why don't
they give other people a chance to
live?"

"I saw no skeletons of their vic-
tims as we passed the building,"
answered Age, "and, since I am on
the subject, let me tell you, my
young friend, that I don't believe
there are any such skeletons any-
where."

"Yes, but there are," answered
i Youth, hotly. "I have seen some
of them. I am a leaf salesman and
I travel this country from end to
end. My customers have been
grumbling ever since Powell, Smith
& Co. sold out to the American Ci-
gar Co., and at every new purchase
by that corporation they have
grumbled more. Each of them
says he can see his own finish, and
if Ihey are right, then I can see my
own finish, too, and that's why I
shook my fist at the Constable build
ing as we passed it."

"Humph, "sniffed Age,contemp
tuously, "if shaking your fist at
those whom you deem your enemies
is the limit of your valor, I don't
know but you deserve an early
finish. However, the morning is
too fine to be wasted in scolding
you. Tell me the truth now: Have
your customers bought less tobacco
of you during the past eighteen
months than they were in the habit
of buying during the same period
in other times?"

"On the contrary," answered
Youth, •'they have bought more."

•'And your own earnings?"
asked Ag6.

"Have been larger than they
used to be," answered Youth.

"Then what on earth are you
growling about?" asked Age.

••I am not growling at all," an-
swered Youth, sulkily. •'! am
merely exercising my right as an
American citizen to speak my mind
on a subject that interests me."

"Let me tell you something that
you don't know, perhaps: The
American Tobacco Company, the
Trust, as you call it, was formed
in 1890. For ten years before that

there was among manufacturers of
smoking^ and chewing tobaccos, in
this country, a working agreement
for the maintaining of prices and
the crushing of competition that

was far more like despotism than
anything since 1890.

"The parties to this working agree-
ment parcelled out the country
among themselves; one man took
one section for his own and another
took another, and each agreed to
respect the other's rights. They
didn't violate thatagreement either,
and they got top prices everywhere
for their goods. If any man thought
he wasn't getting enough, he sim
ply raised the price. That was all
there was to it, and none of his fel
low citizens, at least none that I
saw, was guilty of the bad manners
of shaking his fist at him, as you
did a moment ago."

"But," urged Youth, "these are
different times, and we are talking
about cigars and not smoking and
chewing tobacco."

"Well," responded Age, "give
your grievance a name."

"I want the trust to get out of
the cigar business. That is the
plain English of it. I admit they
have a perfect right to manufac
ture and sell cigars, but I allege
that they are unfair and unscrupul
ous competitors."

"If you can prove that," an-
swered Age, "your duty is very
plain. Take your proofs to the
Secretary of the National Cigar
Leaf Tobacco Association, and the
Association will do the rest. If
you havenoproofs or can get none,
I suggest that you attend more
strictly to the business which you
say you still find profitable, and let
the people in the Constable build-
ing attend to theirs." j

Here Age descended to the side-
walk, and went to lunch.

Youth continued its ride up the
avenue.

Youth has been in a brown study
ever since. 1

Wm. McCoach of the position of
Collector of Internal Revenue of the
First District of Pennsylvania dis
satisfaction has pervaded certain
political arenas.

With a view to forcing all Federal
officeholders to resign any state,
county or city positions they may
hold, the Citizens' Municipal Asso
ciation, through Agent Addis, has'
petitioned President Roosevelt to
force Mr. McCoach to resign the
office of Collector of Internal Rev-
enue or his seat in Select Council.
The petition, signed by Joel J.
Baily, chairman, and T. B. M.
Addis, secretary, was handed to the

President at Oyster Bay, L. I , by
Mr. Addis.

The petition sets forth the objects
of the association, and then attacks
Mr McCoach. The paper presents
the fact that at the time Mr. Mc-
Coach was appointed Collector, in
February last, he was a member of
the Select Council, representing the
Thirtieth Ward, and that in addition
to holding both offices, Mr. Mc
Coach continues to give much of
his time to his private business, he
being a contracting plumber, and
more time to the promoting of vari-
ous schemes of municipal legislation
in connection with his office as a
member of Select Council. The
petition then recites:

"We submit that the office of
Collector of Internal Revenue is a
very important one, and, involving
the position of custodian of the
Government building, would seem
to us to be quite sufficient to occupy
the time of the collector, if his duties
were fully and properly attended to.
And, further, that the holding of
two such offices by the same person
is incompatible and against the
public interest, and is in clear vio
lation of an order issued by Presi-
dent Grant, in 1873.

"At that time Nathaniel B. Boyd
held a position in the United States
Mint, in Philadelphia, and was also
a member of Select Council of the
city of Philadelphia. The order of
President Grant compelled Mr.
Boyd to either resign his position in
the United States Mint or his posi
tion as Select Councilman. Mr.
Boyd chose to resign as a member
of Council.

"We are also advised that since
the above-mentioned occurrence
there have been a number of like
cases in different parts of the coun-
try to which the provisions of Presi-
dent' Grant's order have been eflfect-
ively applied."

The President was furnished with
a copy of the general order issued
by President Grant, and with a copy
of Mr. Boyd's resignation. Mr.
McCoach is the only Federal office
holder who at this time would be
affected by any action the President
might take with regard to dual
office holding. He declined to dis-
cuss the proposition in advance of!
some notice from the President con-
cerning the complaint. ,

Secretary Shaw, to whom Presi-
dent Roosevelt referred the papers,
holds the opinion that the Collector
should resign one office or the other.

The Secretary referred the case
to Internal Revenue Commissioner
Yerkes. who has ordered a report by
a special revenue agent, and the
matter will be taken up as soon as
this report is received.

The only precedent under which
the Secretary can act, it is said, is
the one made by President Grant in
the Boyd case.

How Indians Smoke,

Carlisle, Pa., July 30, 1902
Dbar Medicine Man :

I have seen some Indian boys at
Carlisle smoking cigarettes. They
appear to do it just like other boys,
but one of them told me, last winter,
that he didn t smoke cigarettes be-
cause he liked them but because
smoking was with him a religious are slightly parted at the corners of

is not indigenous, various prepara
tions took its place before the ad
vent of the traders. Among these
were the leaves of the sumac, which
were dried for use and afterward,
when needed were crumbled in the
hands. Much more prevalent, how-
ever, was the use of the bark of the
red osier, known among frontiers
men as killikinick or kinnikinik,
which name is said to have been
derived from the language of the
Dakota. This material is the thin
semi transparent bark or inner skin
of the young shoots, which are
available so long as they retain their
red outer skin.

The Answer,

The Indians do not regard to
bacco as white men do, nor do they
use it in the same way. While
there is a social side to their smok-
ing, the principal use of the leaf is
ceremonial and religious. It has
always been so with them, and even
now, when the native preparations
are largely replaced by the cheaper
and more corvenient supply at the
traders' stores, the old religious
feeling is still there. There is
something about tobacco that turns
the mind of the smoker into con

the mouth and the air which is

sucked in mixes with the smoke

and is drawn into the lungs. To

be perfectly au fait this must be done

with considerable noise; according

to Indian etiquette such noise is I famous Temple in the TabakGasse,

The traders have come to recog-
nize this and in every store there is
a little tin basin on the counter (and
generally nailed to it) containing
tobacco, cigarette papers and
matches, which are freely used by

universal, but tobacco is used in
the form of cigarettes consisting of
a few grains rolled in a piece of corn
husk. In former times every Indian
carried some of the latter in his
pouch, and when he met a white

could not help being impressed by
the very evident earnestness of the
preacher and by the highly sonor-
ous Hungarian in which he spoke.
I am sure it was a very fine sermon,
and I hope it did those who under-
stood it much good.

The one native Magyar word
whose meaning I have grasped is
dohany, (tobacco), pronounced do-
hyne. I think the Hungarian is
one of the very few languages in
which the root of the word tobacco
disappears, for dohany is almost as
unlike the original as is dowack, as
our friends of German descent in
Lancaster county call the weed.

The Hungarians are a chesty lot,
but a better natured people does not
inhabit the earth, and as for Hun-
garian ladies, they are literally

traveler his first inquiry was always I peaches. They have the plumpest
for tobacco. Plug was preferred, j figures, and yet are the most grace-

and chipping off a few grains with
his thumb nail, he wrapped them in

ful of dancers. Their complexion,
olive with theroses showing through

gives evidence that their appetites
and digestions are in perfect order.
Their eyes sparkle and yet are
dreamy, and that's a combination
as rare as it is fascinating. They
have the whitest of teeth, of which
you get innumerable glimpses
through their ever-smiling lips.

I think more Hungarian women
of good social standing are addicted
to the cigarette smoking habit than
is the case in any other country,
save only Russia. I have been here
but a few days, yet in every public
resort that I have visited I have
seen women of evident respectability
smoking cigarettes. They are not
as languid about it as the Russian
ladies are, yet they are very dainty
and choice in their manner of hand-
ling the paper- wrapped tobacco
pastille The wealthy among them
smoke cigarettes imported from
Cairo, or from Bosnia-Herzegovina,
and the poorer ones content them-
selves with those made of their
native dohany. The Hungarian
men are also unanimously addicted
to the cigarette, although when
they get down to "business" and
seem to themselves to require a long
smoke, they take to Virginias, like
the Viennese. I am not sure that
the Hungarians quite thoroughly
understand the uses of tobacco, for
I have seen them smoking cigarettes
after a very hearty meal washed
down with tokay, and I am very
sure that under like conditions an
American, or an Englishman, or
even a German, would demand a
full bodied clear Havana cigar.

Yesterday I visited the factory of
the Hungarian tobacco regie. This
is not located, as would be the case
were everything in Buda Pes th con-
ducted on logical lines, on Tobacco
street, but in another thoroughfare
whose Hungarian name I find it
impossible to spell. The building
is well enough, and the people who
work there appear to be contented.
I had hoped to find them, or at least
some of them , attired in the gorgeous
costumes once national in Hungary,
but, alas, they wore just about the
same kind of clothes that workers
in tobacco factories in the United
States wear.

Hungary grows a great deal of
tobacco, and sells whatever is left
over, after the needs of its regie
factories are supplied, to independ-
ent dealers in Buda Pesth and else-
where, and these export it to Ger-
many and other countries which
buy the cheaper grades of leaf.

ing crop of tobacco throughout New
England appears to be greatly in
need of about ten solid days of sun-
shine.

"At this time last year," he said,

"the tobacco throughout New En-
gland was at least six feet high and
growing finely. This year the crop
has had entirely too much rain and
too little sun. The result is that
most of it (and it should all be at
least six feet high by this time) is
•nly about two and a half feet high.
Unless Old Sol comes along and
gives this tobacco a thorough warm-
ing up for at least ten days steady,
there is danger that the farmers will
this year succeed in raising only
one- third of a crop."

"How about the tobacco now
being grown under shade in New
England?" he was asked.

"All the shade grown tobacco
that I saw," he answered, "is in

the same dwindling condition that
the leaf which is being grown in
the open is. At least that is true
of all the shade grown tobacco
which I saw. I didn 't go to Tarifi"
ville, and I understand that the
shade grown tobacco there is in a
healthier condition than shade-
grown leaf elsewhere in Connecti-
cut is."

The Price Cutter Cut,

This incident happened recently
in a city not more than a day's
journey by stage coach from Phil-
adelphia:— A bright-looking man
walked into a cut-rate cigar store
and laying down a nickel demanded
two perfectos of a certain widely
advertised brand.

"Those cigars," answered the
salesman, firmly, "are worth 3 for
fifty cents."

"Oh, no they ain't," aniwered

the man with the nickel. "They
are worth just what I offered you
for them," and he turned on his
heel and walked out.

Anar gyros Moves,

A fact which shows how mightily
the demand for Turkish cigarettes
has grown of late years, and is still
growing, is this:

On August I, S. Anargyros, the
Turkish cigarette branch of the
American Tobacco Company, was
removed from the old Kinney fac-
tory on West Twenty- second street,
New York, to the big factory at
71st street and Avenue A, until
recently occupied by Seidenberg &
Co. for cigar manufacturing pur-
poses. The Seidenberg factory has
long been famous as one of the
largest cigar factories under one
roof in the world. Its brands of
cigars will hereafter be manufac-

tured in other factories of the
American Cigar Company, of which
it is a part. Henceforth the entire
great building at Seventy-first street
and Avenue A will be utilized by
the S. Anargyros corporation for
manufacturing Egyptian Deities,
Egyptian Emblems, Moguls, Turk-
ish Trophies, Tolstoi, Volga and
its other brands of Turkish cigar-
ettes.

Successes,

Joseph Krans, of 535-537-539
East Seventy-fifthstreet, New York,
inventor, patentee and manufac-
turer of the unique Quillo and Pee-
kolo brands of cigars, is one of the

Both the Quillo and Peekolo brands
are successes of the first water, and
their rogue is extending to all parts
of the country.

Budget of Fresh News
from Cuba.

The market for the week ending
July 26 has shown considerable
more animation and strength, and
the total sales foot up a trifle over
8 500 bales, of which 5,900 repre-
sent new Vuelta Abajo and Partido
factory vegas, about 2,100 bales old
Remedios, chiefly lower grades, for
export to Spain, and 500 bales old
Vuelta Abajo fillers and colas. Not-
withstanding that it was reported
months ago that the supply of old
Vueltas had been exhausted, it
seems some odds and ends have
been stored away and have turned
up during the past few weeks, al-
though now there cannot be any
stock left to speak of, excepting
some large holdings of two parties
who ask very high prices and will
not break up the same, but will
only sell the whole together. As
this is two years' old tobacco, it
seems strange that it should not
have been sold previously, unless
there might possibly be a reason for
it other than the high price asked.
New Crop.

Pinar del Rio advices have it that
Rabell, Costa & Co. have purchased
200 bales from Muniz & Co. at
prices not known. Don Gustavo
Solomon, established in Havana
under the firm name of G. Solomon
y Hnos , has bought through Don
Jose Balestena the tobacco grown by
Don Tomas Gener Diaz and Don
Jose Redondo and their help (parti
darios) in Punta de Palma. So
brinos de Antero Gonzalez pur-
chased through Don Victor Pozo
the crop of Don Manuel Diaz
Duenas in Punta de Palma.

At San Cristobal prices paid for
tobacco in bundles, with stems in
eluded, are said to have been from
j5 10 to $14 per qtl. There is only
one packing in this place.

Palacios. — There are seven esco-
jidas in this place, and owing to a
scarcity in hands help has been se
cured from San Cristobal. Seedbeds
are being prepared in the whole
region of the Semi Vuelta as well as
the Vuelta Abajo.

Consolacion del Sur. — There is
considerable life in this city, and
packers allege that the tobacco
grown around its jurisdiction has
not shown the many defects from
which other localities in the Vuelta
Abajo have suflFered.

San Antonio de los Banos. — The
important firm of Jorge, P. Casta-
neda & Co. has two large packings
in this town, employing upwards
of 600 hands, one third of whom are
women. Up to now they average
about 40 bales a day, and judging

by the amount of their own crops
grown, besides their purchases
made so far, it looks certain that
they will make as large a packing
as last year, and thus give employ
ment to numerous families up to
October, at least. This house has
acted as a benefactor in the recon-
struction of the country, notwith-
standing the many difficulties of the
present year and the rather black
outlook for the future. They de-
serve success on account of their
hard and assiduous work, as well
as for being thorough connoisseurs
of leaf.

Remedios. — No particular news
has been published from this section;
several houses from Havana are
making small packings, but the
bulk of the crop will very likely be
made into bales by the farmers
themselves.

Departures.

Don Donato Arguelles, of the
firm of Arguelles y Busto, left for a
few months trip on the steamer
Cataluna for Spain, and Don Ed-
mundo Will left for the United
States, via Tampa, to see his busi-
ness friends in the interest of the
firm of Federico Bauriedel & Co.
Cigar Factories.

H. Upmann & Co., have pur-
chased 900 bales of the best and
choicest Vuelta Abajo factory to-
bacco grown this year, prices paid
being of a secondary nature, as
long as the tobacco filled the bill in
being just what they wanted.

Henry Clay and Bock & Co. Ltd.
have been receiving large amounts
of the highly prized Remates to-
bacco from their own farms, and
this class of tobacco will most prob-
ably, owing to having been grown
upon artificially irrigated lands,
show up extra well in color, leaf
and aroma. As, generally speaking,
this year's Vuelta Abajo crop is
more or less defective, on account
of the prolonged drouth experienced
last fall and winter, and as farmers
were either too poor or had no
means to get water in quantities to
irrigate their farms when water was
most needed, it is no wonder that
there are so many complaints heard
from this district.

The Partido region, on the other
hand, has produced an excellent
crop, because nearly all the farmers
had some primitive means at least
to help nature and supply moisture
to the famishing plants. Don Gus-
tavo Bock, ever alert to foster the
agricultural element, had provided
the means to irrigate the farms be-
longing to this company, and it is
said that he has given orders for a

large number of donkey engines, to

needed for next year's crop.

Incidentally this company is re-
ported to have spent $1,800,000 in
1898 and 1899, after the close of the
war, in helping to build up the
farming interests in the Vuelta
Abajo.and other commercial houses
only followed suit when this lav-
ish outlay of money became known.
That this policy has borne good
fruit is demonstrated by the appar-
ent prosperity of the vegas of this
company, and that the farmers have
been able to liquidate their debts to
a large extent. Leaving charity
aside, it has proved a master stroke
of wise and careful business man-
agement on the part of Don Gustavo
Bock.

again on July 28 with a full force to
fill the many accumulated orders on
hand. It seems Don Carlos Behrens,
now in Germany, has sent some
large orders to be filled as quickly
as possible.

Simon Batt, of New York, pro-
prietor of the "La Verdad" factory,
has purchased about 850 bales of
the famous shade grown Tumbadero
leaf of Don Luis Marx, and was
also fortunate enough to find some
old Vuelta Abajo fillers and wrap-
pers to meet the pressing and grow-
ing demands of this popular factory .
It is claimed that this shade grown
tobacco is equal in texture and fine-
ness of leaf to Sumatra, while, of
course, the aroma is far superior.
Leaf Dealers and Commission Merchants.
Manuel Menendez Parra shipped
1 ,500 bales of his purchases for the
Spanish Government on the steamer
Cataluna, and remains in the mar-
ket for botes of Remedies, prices for
which are said to have advanced
from $9 to $10 per qtl.

Silveira&Co. purchased 100 bales
of old Vuelta Abajo fillers for some
of their friends.

Cano y Hno sold 500 bales of new
Partidos recently, and made a con-

to factories in
other half old

Partido wrappers
Havana, and the
Vueltas.

Walter Himml is in treaty for a
large quantity of new Vueltas (lower
grades) to a local factory, to be d«-
livered as soon as they may arrive
from the country, the offered price
being still a trifle below his limits.

Aixala & Co. could only report
one hundred bales this week, of new
Partidos, as their other arrivals had
been previously contracted for.
Their Remedies packing is pro-
gressing nicely.

Jose Santalla & Co. have shipped
some old Vueltas and sample bales
of new Vueltas and Partidos to some
of their customers north.

H. Duys & Co. and the Schoverling-
Klnney Co.

John H. Duys, of H. Duys &
Co. , announced on August i that
his firm had purchased the interest
in the Schoverling- Kinney Co. of
Mr. "Dell" Kinney, who, on ac-
count of ill health, is to retire from
active business for the present. Mr.
Kinney is not to desert the trade
immediately, however, but will
still be found for some time to
come at his old headquarters.

H. Duys & Co. will, of course,
continue as large importers of Su-
matra tobacco, as the branch of the
Amsterdamsche Tabakshandelma-
atschappy.

H. Duys & Co. have removed
their office from 160 Water street to
170 Water street, the premises hith-
erto occupied by the Schoverling-
Kinney Co.

In their new location H. Duys &
Co. will handle Sumatra tobacco as
usual, and also the Connecticut leaf
packed by the Schoverling- Kinney
Co.

Sumatra by the Potsdam.

The steamer Potsdam, arriving at
New York from Rotterdam on

C. C. Hamilton & Co., tobacco
inspectors, warehousemen and

York, are distributing blotting pads i
to the trade as a reminder that the '
sampling season has arrived.

Attention is courteously called '
to the firm's conspicuous advertise-
ment in this number of The Tobacco
World. The announcement that
C. C. Hamilton & Co's. new
"Standard Fireproof" U. S. bonded
warehouse, at 84-85 South street.
New York, now in course of con-
struction, will be ready for the

for inspection about August 20,
and the firm will be pleased to see
its Tisiting friends there at that
time.

C. W. Shelley & Son Declared
Insolvent.

Notices were sent out last Thurs-
day to the creditors of C. W. Shel
ley & Son, cigar manufacturers,
Harrisburg, Pa., stating that that
firm has become hopelessly insol-
vent. An offer of settlement of all
accounts at the rate of twenty cents
on the dollar, with an additional
ten cents one year later, accompa-
nied the notices.

The firm consists of C. W. Shel-
ley and E- Ray Shelley, and has
been doing business for a number
of years. Its financial condition
has not been good for some time
past. The liabilities amount to
over $r 1,000, while the assets are
placed at less than $3,000.

When the insolvency of the firm
was first declared notices were sent
to S. Rossin & Son, P. & S. Low-
enthal, A. Cohn & Co.. and I. J.
Schoener & Co., of New York; E.
L. Nissley & Co., of Florin; J. H.

Styles, of York, and Smith & Kef-
fer, of Harrisburg, stating the diffi-
culties that confronted the firm.
These houses represented about
$6, 200 of the liabilities. A meeting
of representatives of all, with the
exception of A. Cohn & Co.^ was
held in the office of Milton M.
Bemer, attorney for C. W. Shelley
& Son, and a conference was held
to determine what action should be
taken toward settling the accounts,
and the above mentioned plan was
decided upon. The twenty per cent,
on the claims will be payable in
cash within five days after all cred-
itors have accepted the terms, and
the firm will give notes payable one
year after for the remaining ten per
cent.

Fire in a Sellersville Cigar
Factory,

The cigar factory of William F.
Cressman, Sellersville, Pa., was
destroyed by fire last week.

The general belief is that the fac-
tory was robbed and then set on
fire to prevent detection. Mr.
Cressman had a great many cigars
on hand, 5 000 of which were
stamped and ready for shipment.
No trace of the stamped goods can
be found, while the unpacked ci
gars are scattered over the ruins,
damaged by smoke and water. Sus
picious wagon wheel tracks were
noticed near the scene of the fire
and other evidence that the fire was
of incendiary origin. Besides the
loss of stock, Mr. Cressman also
lost several hundred dollars' worth
of labels.

He places his loss at $9,700, with
an insurance of $1,500 in the Nor
ristown Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
The building was insured in the
tame company for $1,500.

Angnst TradejD^ Philadelphia.

Philadelphia tradesmen have ex-
perienced real August weather and
business during the past week.
Dealers in the business sections
have been benefited somewhat by
the vacation box trade, but others
are complaining somewhat of the
amount of business done. No
special increase or betterment in
business can be expected by them
now until after September the first.
These reports are confirmed by the
jobbers who say that the business
has hardly been what it should be
at this time of the year.

Several of our larger manufac-
turing establishments, have been
kept fairly busy throughout the
summer.

The Theobald & Oppenheimer
Co. have leased an addition to their
present premises, the first floor and
basement of 1 13 North Third street,
which was until recently occupied
by Freyer & Eisenlohr, leaf tobacco
dealers. Possession will be taken
forthwith and the additional space
is to be utilized for manufacturing
purposes.

The new building at Second and
Race streets, which is now practi
cally completed, will soon be occu-
pied by Auer, Dempsey & Koch,
who are removing from Broad and
Race streets. The building is a
moderate sized modern structure,
fully equipped with all the latest
improvements, and will increase
the firm's facilities considerably.

A prominent Girard avenue to-
bacco dealer visited the shore on
Friday last in company with a fel
low tradesman. He appeared in
great haste to don bathing attire
and take a plunge in the balmy
surf, when suddenly he discovered
that he had broken a finger of the
right hand, and instead of taking a
salt water bath he repaired to a
local surgeon's ofiice. He had the
wounded finger properly treated,
which caused him considerable
pain, and upon his return on Mon-
day last it was noticed that he was
still carrying it in splints.

Joseph Guckenheimer, treasurer
of Morris D. Neumann & Co.,
sailed last week for Europe. He
will spend a short time in England
and several weeks on the Continent.

C. M. Fauth, of Fauth & Ogden,
spent a few days in recreation at
Sea Isle City last week. The few
days have browned him to a berry
hue.

Thomas Moloney, of Oblinger
Bros. & Co., is summering at At-
lantic City with his family, going
to and fro to his place of business
daily. He reports their summer
trade as exceptionally good. Sales
on the "Vesper," their leading five
cent brand, have kept up well, and
are ahead of all previous years.

Doings in the Leaf Trade,

For some time past, L. G Haeus-
sermann, of this city, has been in
negotiation with German houses
regarding the sale of certain Ameri-
can cigar leaf tobacco. These
negotiations have culminated in a
possible sale of some two hundred
thousand pounds of Pennsylvania
tobacco and for the purpose of clos-
ing the deal, Mr. Haeussermann
sails for Bremen, Germany, to-
morrow.

Leopold Loeb & Co. have recent-
ly been in receipt of several good
sized consignments of Sumatra to-
bacco, quite a large lot having ar-
rived here.. Considerable more
came in on the Potsdam arriving in
New York on August 3d.

George W. Newman, of Young
& Newman, has planned a unique
vacation for this summer. He is
expecting to leave on Monday next
for the west and will be accom-
panied by an unusually large sam-
ple trunk. During the vacation
period which he has allotted him-
self he is expecting to cover con-

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cntter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
erer been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can b*
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine offered.

August has started in fairly well

month. Old goods of all kinds are
pretty well cleaned out, and new
ones are not yet fully in the mar
ket, although a few packer's sam-
ples have been shown. The Lan-

active, and sales made were largely

are being picked up as rapidly as

Havana still remains steady.

LANCASTER'S REPORT.

Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 5, 1902.
One or two fair-sized lots of Penn-
sylvania Broad Leaf were sold by
local packers this week. One lot
of nearly 200 cases was sold by I.
H. Weaver. The usual mid-sum-
mer business is being experienced

by all our local houses, amounting
in the aggregate to a fair volume.
Several leaf salesmen traveling for
Lancaster houses report a pretty
good trade for last week.

The growing crop is making good
progress now, and with continued
favorable weather, it will make a
fair and averagingly good crop.
Some of the plants have already
been topped.

I. H. Weaver returned on Thurs-
day last from a visit to Ohio, where
he is packing considerable tobacco
this year.

It has been a frequent occurrence
this year that from 80,000 to 100,-
000 stogies were shipped in a day
from the Slater factory here.

P. L. Leamon & Co. have been
sampling some of their packing of
last year's crop, and are elated at
finding so small a percentage of
damage in it.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

There is perfect quiet so far as
we can learn throughout the New
England tobacco markets. Much
anxie^^y exists throughout the entire
extent of the valley relative to the
condition of the growing crop.
From various sources come the
reports that there is great tendency
for the plants to bud out very low,
exhibiting a slender stalk with pro-
portionally small leaves. It is
claimed to result from the long con-
tinued wet and the extraordinary
continuance of cool and uncomfort-
table weather, days and nights,
both cool. Warmer weather come
on Tuesday, July 22, and it is
hoped that the warm weather has
come to stay for a season, as sun-
shine is very welcome, and for one
to see the stars for the last few
weeks was so rare that it was the
subject of remark among our people.

Our correspondents write :

North Hatfield : ' 'Everything is
on the jump now. There will be
room enough to properly house to-
bacco, and good air spaces between
the leaves. The ''rop looks healthy,
but it is budding out low. If we |
could have some warm weather it
would improve very rapidly, but
are we to have any such weather?

Sufl&eld : "The northeast part of
this town was visited by a hailstorm
July 15. In the north and north
east the damage was heavy, but in,
others light. No hail in West Suf- '
field, and the growers rejoice that
their fields escaped injury. It has.
been so cool that the plants are i
rather spindling, and buds before
making much height. It is hoped !
that warm weather will cause it to
grow more stocky. A recent drive I
through various parts of our town j
and to Windsor Locks, and home |
by another road, thus enabling us
to see many tobacco fields. As a
whole the tobacco crop of 1902 is
certainly vry backward, and of a

spindling growth, which is no
doubt due to the cool and wet
weather. This is the outlook now. ' '
I North Hadley: James Day, our
local packer, has sold his packing
to L. B. Hass & Co. of Hartford,
at private terms. Tobacco is doing
well now since the rain. Although
we have had considerable wet
weather, it got to be quite dry here.
Topping has been going on, and a
clean crop will be harvested if no

accidents occur from this out."

j

The Hartford Times gives an ac-
I count of the shaded tobacco in some
15 to 20 different fields of shaded
tobacco. All doing well. The
hailstorm severely Injured from 150
to 200 acres at Hillstown and Hock-
anum, Ct., localities near Hartford.

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
Albert Cahn, representing Elias
Bach & Son, is still in town, and
is reported as having made a few
purchases of good grades of 1901
at private terms. He is receiving
to day some of the purchases
recently made. A. Heinke has
recently received 400 cases of Ohio
Gebhard, which will be handled at
his warehouse. By the beginning
of next week he expects to have a
force of about 25 women and girls
sizing and tying these goods. —

Occasional deliveries of farmers'
crops at local warehouses are noted

Euphrat, of Cincinnati, visited

The growing crop is doing well
in this vicinity, though reports from
other localities are not so promis-
ing. Rain and wind storms have
injured the crop in adjoining
counties, and in many instances the
soil has been so impacted about the
roots that the plants have gone to
top, thus preventing the further
development of the leaf. H. C.
Schuberth, of this city, is experi
menting with a small field of Ha-
vana seed tobacco, which was
planted on May loth, and since it
has been topped the tobacco reaches
his neck; a portion of the crop was
harvested July 26, and he expects
to have it all in the shed by August
ist. Mr. Schuberth states that the
tobacco cut last week is curing
nicely. — News.

EDGERTON, WIS.
The clearing weather of the week
has worked a wonderful change in
the condition of the growing crop.
Under the influence of a warm sun
and a drier atmosphere, cultivation
has been resumed and the fields are
making a remarkable as well as a
satisfactory growth again. The
prospects for the crop have certainly
improved greatly during the week.
The rain on Wednesday evening
carried a few patches of hail but of
only limited area.

In the cured leaf trade the market
could scarcely be duller and still
retain a reputation for business.

The transactions in old stock
among packers are reduced to small
lots to manufacturers and these are
not as plentiful as could be wished.

The harvest of a few of the earlier
set fields of the new crop will com-
mence the coming week.

pilople: who
"get along"

In the cigar business, as in every other,
there are certain people, who, when urged to
adopt a new method or install a new and im-
proved equipment, shake their heads and think
they can "get along" without it.

They do get along, but they get along
toward the rear instead of the front.

it is much pleasanter to be progressive
instead of going backward — and much more
profitable.

The cigar business
is no different from any
other business in this re-
spect— the man with the
best facilities and the most
modern tools gets more
business and makes more
money, and you can't
stop him.

Take the DuBrul Die-
less Suction Table for
example ; there is no
question in the world but
that this table is a time-
saver and a money-maker
without an equal.

We have been manu-
facturing cigar makers'
tools long enough to know
what we are talking about.

We say that no enterprising cigar maker
can afford to be without this table a single day
longer than it takes to get it in his place and
set it up.

The Dieless Table is a wonderful improve-
ment over all others.

The suction table itself is a distinct success,
but heretofore the dies and rollers have been a

serious objection and a constant irritation. They
are always in the way, rollers constantly dull
the dies and it takes a lot of time and work
to keep the complicated mechanism going in
proper shape.

We have removed every single objection to
the suction table by removing the dies and rollers
and substituting a circular knife which does
much better work than any die ever could.

We have made the
suction table practical
and efficient.

We have placed it in
a position where it can
do good work all the time
with no attention and we
have made it so simple

and easy to manipulate
that operators are de-
lighted with it and won't
work on any other if they
can help it.

Don't try to get along
without this table.

Don't delay writing
us about it and we will
give you a Ine of facts
and tlgures that will
make our position per-
fectly clear to you and
convince you that we are right.

But don't forget that we can furnish you die
tables, the best of their kind, if you still insist
on having that kind of machine.

You can see both kinds in either of our
offices.

Ask for our Booklet w. s., which gives com-
plete information.

stamp first affixed to the packages
to be destroyed, and no credit al-
lowed therefor. Such tax- paid
material must be accounted for in
the manufactuied product, pound
for pound, without any alleged loss
for waste in manufacturing. All
tax paid products received at their
factory must be inspected by a
deputy collector, assigned for that
purpose, and the packages must be
destroyed in his presence and be-
fore any entry is made on book 74
relating to such tobacco. It was
also advised that a manufacturer of
tobacco can not receive on his
premises the tax-paid products of
another factory except under the
above conditions, and that the en
tire product of the factory, whether
made from raw leaf unstamped, or
made partly from tax-paid products,
must be properly packed, labeled
and stamped without reference to
the amount of tax paid tobacco
used in manufacturing.

Impottcd Cigircttcs.
A prominent firm of importers re-
cently reported that for imported
cigarettes they paid abroad not
more than $1.80 per thousand, and
asked what would be considered
the "wholesale price" of these ci-
garettes in determining the rate of
internal revenue tax to be paid on
them. In reply to their inquiries
their attention was called to Sched-
ule F, paragraph 217 of the Ding-
ley Bill, act approved July 24., 1897,
which imposes a duty of I4.50 per
pound and 25 per centum ad val
orem on imported cigarettes. The
office advised in this connection
that the wholesale value or price of
the cigarettes imported from abroad
would not be fixed by the amount
or price paid for the cigarettes
abroad, but must be predicated on
the first cost of the cigarettes as
shown by the invoice, to which
must be added the cost of trans-
portation, plus the duty, and the
internal revenue tax imposed by
section 3 of the act of April 12,
1902, as provided by Section 3402,
Revised Statutes. Therefore, that
the wholesale value or price of ci-
garettes imported from foreign
countries could not be $2, or less,
per thousand, when placed on sale
in the United States, and that the
wholesale value or price would be
determined by the price received by
the owner, importer or consignee
after the goods have been received
in the United States and have been
properly packed and stamped,
showing payment of duty and tax.

CoBtiaoatioB of Business by a Soccccdiag

Mtaohctorcr.
A tobacco manufacturing con-
cern reported to the Commissioner

that they had purchased the factory
of a firm in their district and pro-
posed to operate both that and their
original factory, and inquired
whether they must file a new bond
to cover the purchased factory or
whether the bond filed for the fac-
tory now operated by them shall
cover both factories. Further, that
as their company is an incorporated
one, they desired to know whether
their stockholders would be accept-
able as bondsmen, and whether it
is necessary for the bondsmen to be
local. Also, whether it is permissi-
ble for their company to use the
firm name or style of the company
bought out by them for a limited
period and whether a caution notice
label may also refer to the com-
pany bought out by them as a
branch of their company. They
were instructed that a separate bond
must be executed by their corpora-
tion as successor in business to the
establishment bought out by them,
the same as though the factory was
carried on by entirely diflFerent per-
sons or corporations; that no ob-
jection will be raised to the stock-
holders of an incorporated company
becoming the surety on the bond of
said company, provided they reside
in the same collection district where-
in the factories are located, and are
acceptable to the collector, and they
justify in the amount which he may
require as security for the bond;
that no objection will be made to
the name or style of the company
retiring being printed in connec-
tion with the caution notice label
as manufacturers of tobacco, and
as a means for advertising the to-
bacco under the trade mark, names
and brands used by the corporation
that had sold out to the applicant.

Big Yield of Tobacco.

The agricultural statistics, just,
completed by the county auditor
of Montgomery county, show that
Miami township last year had 2,772
acres of tobacco, from which were
raised i , 1 89 ,650 pounds of the weed .
I This was more than any other town-
' ship. The entire county produced
9,615 410 pounds of the leaf. These
figures show Miami township to be
the greatest tobacco raising section
in the world. -Miamisb'g.O .News.

The Hammock and the Pipe.

: Some folks there be who seek the sea

} When summer time is here,

j And some who try the mountains high,

Where board and room are dear;
Some like the look of lake or brook

When the hot wave is ripe;
I But this poor bard likes his back yard.

His hammock, and his pipe.

! No landlord there to charge for air

I Or things that one may see;

I Nor folk who talk or drive or walk,

j Or tell how rich they be;

I No bill of fare to make one swear.

Nor yet to cause the gripe —
Not anything but just to swing
: With hammock and with pipe.

Mosquitoes do not come to chew,

Nor yet to eat one up;
No thing to bite by day or night

(Except the neighbor's pup).
So, wherefore roam away from home,

And perspiration wipe,
When days be clear and we have here

The hammock and the pipe?

The sky is blue— the smoke is, too,

And make a man feel good,
I And all things seem to gayly gleam,

And act just as they should;
Some folks leave home away to roam

When the hot wave is ripe,
But like as not they have not got
A hammock or a pipe.

The settlers of our tobacco dis-

families and many a cabin and shack
contained rare oldchina.bric-a brae,
clocks and a wealth of furnishings
even then of enormous value in the
shops of the dealers in "antiques"
in New York. Besides, there were
the shimmering baubles culled from
the streams (veritable pearls, finer
than any which orient seas disclose)
and gold bearing quartz. In many
a home there was an accumulation
of rocks brought back from Cali-
fornia in '49 which the Eastern as-
say er found rich with gold. The
farmers had no antiquity dealer to
trade with, nor cunning "uncle,"
nor any one to reveal the hidden
treasures in the rocks about them ,
so when the meager crop was packed
they increased the weight of the
boxes by dumping such articles into
them. It remained for the origin-
ator of "stripped" samples to dis-
cover and benefit by the farmers*
necessity or chicanery. His dis-

Then he speeds through the spring board. Alas, the ride over

the unmacademized r^ad is any-
thing but restful, but that does not
prevent the driver from inquiring
of his guest if he is enjoying himself.
"Oh, it's great, ' ' answers the poor
fellow. "I wouldn't miss it for a

farm."

At that moment the wagon wheels

strike a gully, the front gear whacks
the horse on his hind quarters, and
the pajamas stream out like a clothes
line on a wash day in a cyclone.
Nevertheless they reach the farmer's
home at last. The sampler performs
his ablutions under a spout at the
spring. Returning to the house he
is ushered into a room which serves
the purposes of kitchen, dining
room, boudoir and parlor. Upon
the table are a piece of fat pork,
several smoked herrings nailed fast,
a barrel hoop encircling some pota-
toes, a modicum of pepper and vine-
gar and a bowl of sage tea. This
meal, enjoyed with gusto by the
family, is not quite to the taste of
the guest. After supper to bed in
the garret. In the middle of the
night the bed collapses, as country
beds then had a habit of doing.

What to Do to Be Saved,

A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.

'•Gentlemen, we have great problems.
We can only solve them by degrees. W?
can only solve them by doing well each
particular bit of work as it comes up for
Bolution. Much of it can be done along
the lines of supervision and regulation of
the great industrial combinations which
have become so marked a feature in our
civilization, but if we recklessly try, with-
out proper thought, without proper cau-
tion, to do too much, we shall either do
nothing or else we shall work a ruin that
will be felt most acutely among those of
the citizens who are most helpless.

"It is no easy task to deal with the
great industrial tendencies To deal with
them in a spirit of presumptuous and rash
folly, above all, to deal with them in a
spirit of envy, and hatred, and malice,
would be to invite disaster; a disaster
which would be so wide-spread that this
country would rock to its foundations
The Mississippi sometimes causes im-
mense damage by flood. You can't dam
it and stop the floods, but you can regu-
late them and control them by levees.
You can regulate and control the current,
you can eliminate its destructive features,
and you can do it only by studying what
the current is and what your own powers
are."- From President Roosevelt's fourth
of July speech at Pittsburg.

XIV.

If there are any readers of The

Tobacco World who are disposed

to think that the great corporations

with headquarters at in Fifth

avenue. New York, are not doing

the country good, they are invited

to read the following extract from carrying the surplus, can the man-

the speech of Mr. A B. Carrington, ufacturer obtain additional stocks

President of the Tobacco Associa- 1 when he wishes to protect himself

tion of the United States, at the i on short crops or to supply some

recent annual session of that body unexpected demands. So, to my

trade is the element of uncertainty
so great as in ours, and it is indeed
a diflficult matter to forecast a future.
We can see in these large combina-
tions an aim and an ability to carry
their wares to the uttermost ends of
the earth, and create markets where
none existed, and while the smaller
firms could not have inaugurated
business, yet they will, no doubt,
find the ways and means to follow
up the entering wedge and reap
their share of trade, opened up in
these new territories, commercially
conquered by these giants of in-
dustry of the United States, the
greatest pioneers of trade the world
ever saw. In the construction of
the Isthmian canal, in the ship
subsidy, in the conquering of the
old East by the new West, there
will, no doubt, result such an in
crease for foreign trade, taken to
gether with our steadily increasing
business, that there will be work
enough for all, be he big or little,
manufacturer or dealer.

"It may be well to note that
while the smoked tobaccos of Ken
tucky, Tennessee and Virginia have
a steady trade, the great increased
demand is for the milder types of
tobacco — sun, air, and flue cured.
Our home trade is entirely in these
tobaccos, and wherever there is an
increase or new territory is invaded,
it is these mild tobaccos that are
wanted, and in this connection we
may observe that the great bulk of
this tobacco is sold on an auction
market, and the tendency to market
the crop early renders proper hand-
ling very diflficult in the short time
in which it is sold, and in this fact
lies the usefulness of the independ-
ent dealer, who stands ready to take
his proportion, and this gives the
market a steadiness and a uniformity
of price which might not exist with-
out him, and also tends to ward oflf
the violent extremes to which the
value of tobacco is subject, and
which are so hurtful to all engaged
in the business.

"From this independent dealer

At the Tobacconist's.

[From the Rubaiyatof Omar Khayam,
Junior.]

As hooded Eve behind her rosy Bars
Her soft Kinoon betinkled to the Stars,
Again to the Tobacconist's I came
And stood among the Stogies and Cigars,

Some were whose Scent exhaled the As-
phodel,

And some whose Smoke gave forth a
roseate smell.

And some poor Weeds that told you at a
Whiff

How they were made to Give Away, not
Sell.

One said, "And can no wiser Law revoke

The Edict that predestined me to Smoke.

My stump to be a Byword and a Jest? —

But if a Jest, I fail to see the Joke."

A second murmured, "Surely we might

learn
Some undiminished Anodyne to burn.
For ne'er a Smoker puffed a good Cigar
But wished Another Like It might re-
turn."
After a momentary Silence, spake
A Stogie of a bileful Pittsburg make,
"The One who puffs my Wrappings to

the End
Will never ask my Memory to awake."

Then spake a Panatella, finely rolled,
"If to a fiery Doom I must be sold.
Then let it be my happy Fate to find
A high-born Mouth whose Teeth are filled
with Gold."

An auburn Weed uprose as one surprised,
"If for a Martyr's Death I so am prized.
May not my hallowed Ashes be preserved
That Saint Cigar I may be canonized?"

"Well," murmured One, "when in my
ashen Shroud

My Stump descends to meet the shriek-
ing Crowd,

I yet may know that in the Fire of Hell

There stands no Placard, Smoking 'Not
Allowed.'" i

And while this corvine Clatter still en-
dured

A lambent Flame, by fragrant Promise
lured,

Crept in, as all the Inmates cried amain,

"The Shop's afire, and we are Unin-
sured!" — Wallace iRvviN.

The Right Spirit.

Willie Levison, who travels for
G Falk & Bro , got back from a
five weeks' western trip on August
5 He is a slight young chap, and
his appearance indicated that he
had been working hard. This
prompted one of his friends to re-
mark inquiringly that Mr. Levison
would probably now take a little
vacation.

"I should hope not," was his
answer. "The boss can't send me
out any too soon, nor keep me out
too long. I've got the hustling
fever on and I just feel like making
a succession of 'killings' from now
on to the 31st of December."

How They Lit Their Pipes.

When smoking first became
fashionable in England during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth it was
customary for those who used the
weed to have in his outfit a pair
of tobacco tongs. If he were a gal-
lant of the court they were made of
silver; if a substantial merchant, of
brass, but, if a workingman, of
cheap iron ware. They were a
necessary'implement to the smoker.
Matches were unknown, and the
only available fire in the daytime
was theblazing log upon the hearth.
With the poker a small piece of
glowing ember was broken oflf,
which with the tongs was applied
to the freshly charged pipe. Hun-
dreds of these tongs are to be found
in the collections of antiquarians
Most of them are clumsy objects,
but a few are so graceful in outline
and artistic in workmanship that
they seem to be of French and
Flemish rather than English origin.

These tongs were revived on a
small scale some twenty years ago,
when they were employed for hold-
ing cigarettes. The cigarette tongs
were from two to four inches in
length, connected at the upper end
by a smart spring, which kept the
ends together when in a position of
rest . When used the smoker opened
them and caught the cigarette be-
tween the tips close to the mouth
end. The contrivance enabled the
user to burn the cigarette down to
the last whiflf and protected the
fingers from the discoloring vapor
that produces the brown stain upon
the fore and middle fingers. The
new tongs shown nowadays are
somewhat larger and are intended
to hold cigars as well as to reach a
coal from the fireplace to a pipe.
They are made of iron, steel and
gun metal, and many of the latter
are said to be manufactured from
warships, cannon, andother trophies
of the late war with Spain. — Chicago

A Chance at $142,500,

New York, Aug. 9, 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

"How many cigars will the United
States collect taxes on during the
month of December, 1902?"

For the answer to this question
the Florodora Tag Company, of
Jersey City. N. J . ofiFers prizes of
from $5 to $5,000, the aggregate
being $142,500.

I want a part of that $142,500
if I can get it. I am myself a very
poor guesser, and it has occurred
to me, knowing your well known
disposition to be helpful, that you
might be willing to help me make
my computation.

Thanking you in advance for any
trouble you may take in this matter,
I am Yours very truly.

Cigar Clerk.

The Answer,

I am glad this question has been
asked me, even though it has come
a little sooner than I expected it,
if I had expected it at all.

December is always a "short"
month in the cigar manufacturing
industry. Manufacturers usually
prepare for the holiday business in
0>:tober, and forthis reason although
the retail dealers are busy with the
holiday trade in the month which
Christmas crowns, the manufac-
turers' output in December is us-
tially light.

In December, 1900, the total out
put of cigars was 467,092,208; in
December, 1 901 , it was 479,312,170,
an increase as you will perceive of
12,219,962 The output of cigars
during every month in 1902 up to
and including June has been greater
than the output for the correspond-
ing month in 1901, which seems to
augur that the output for the re
maining months of 1902, and in-

cluding that for December, will be
larger than the output for the last
six months of the previous year.
But here let me interject a word of
caution. Every once in a while,
and this happens every year, figures
are published which purport to have
been furnished by the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, showing the
output by months for the fiscal year
which ends on the 30th of every
June. These figures, although they
are approximately correct, are not
official. The official figures are
usually made public toward the
end of November when the formal
report of the Commissioner is given
out. If my correspondent is not in
a hurry, I would suggest that he
wait until the Commissioner's re-
port for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1902, is published. It should
appear next Thanksgiving week or
thereabouts. The company oflFer-
ing the $142,500 requires that all
estimates must be forwarded to Jer-
sey City before December i. This
is rather a close margin for those

who will wait for the Commis-
sioner's report before sending in
their guesses, but, like the wound
Mercutio got from Tybalt, "it is
enough."

If you think time will not serve,
there will be no harm in making
your estimate upon the unofficial
figures, which, as I have said, are
approximately corrrect.

Now, as to the production of ci-
gars by months, for the first five
months of 1902, the Florodora Tag
Company's offer is careful to give
it. The figures are as follows:

In January, 496,9^3.717
*' February, 445.495.483
" March, 516,599,027
" April, 516,835,168

" May, 523.035.907

In considering this table you can-
not fail to note how the production
of March, April and May exceeded
that of February. It was in March
that the Florodora brand was put
upon the market and a part at least
of the increased production in that
and the two following months may
fairly, I think, be ascribed to the
demand for this brand. The yearly
output of Florodoras is computed,
by some gentlemen who are in a
position to make reasonably accu
rate estimates, at from 140,000,000
to 160,000,000.

If, as one recent unofficial pub-
lication has it. we made in the
neighborhood of 491,000 000 more
cigars during the twelve months
ended June 30, 1902, than we made
during the same period in 1901,
then the average monthly increase
of 1902 over 1 90 1 was about 40,-
000,000 If this rate shall hold
good for December, 1902, the pro-
duction for that month should be
somewhere around 520,000,000.
But it won't hold good, because,
as I said before, December is al-
ways a "short" month. Normally,
the increase should be not 40,000,-
000' but only about 15 000,000,
which would make the production
for December, 1902, somewhere
around 494 300,000.

In the foregoing statement I have

done the best for my correspondent
that I know how. What I have
said is at least a guide. It is for
him to get out his pencil and do the
rest. I am perfectly sincere when
I say I hope he will win not only
one of the $5 prizes, but the big
$5,000 whopper, or at least one of
the next biggest.

And now one pregnant word to
all retail dealers: There are thou-
sands of well to do intelligent men
who do not smoke the cheaper
grades of cigars, nor pipes, nor
cigarettes, and who do not chew
tobacco. Many of these will want
to make guesses. Their estimates,
to comply with the conditions of

the $142,500 offer, will have to be
accompanied by 100 Florodora
bands or by the other equivalents
of value mentioned in the offer. To
get these bands , or other things, they
will have to go to the retailer's or
buy them of consumers who do not
throw them down on the retailer's
floor.

As the time for sending in esti-
mates approaches these bands and
other like things are going to ap-
preciate greatly in value, and every
man, woman or child who is in a
position to gather them up is here-
by urged to hold what they don't
need for their own guesses, for a
rising market. The Medicine Man.

Habits of the German People.

Berlin, August 3, 1902.
Dear Quakers and Knickerbockers:
I think Harry Rothschild a very
lucky man, and the Waldorf Astoria
Segar Company a very fortunate as
well as a very enterprizing corpora-

tion, and for these reasons: A couple
of weeks ago, the Waldorf-Astoria
Segar Company secured a lease in
the Equitable Life Insurance Com-
pany's building in this city and in
a few weeks will throw open the
doors of its store to the public. Mr.
Rothschild's luck and hiscompany 's

in New York, to Prince Henry of
Prussia, the Waldorf-Astoria Segar
Company's cigars were supplied to
the diners. Their excellence,
therefore, is well-known to Prince
Henry who is very likely to call for
them at the new store here. Think
of what that will mean to Mr. Roths-
child's company. Besides, here is
Privy Counselor Goldberger, who
has just written an article for "Die
Woche" which is a most capital
advertisement for American mer-
chandise of all kinds, and will
doubtless do its share to help the
sale of Waldorf-Astoria brands in
Berlin.

The cigar stores of Berlin are not
at all on a par with those of New
York as to interior decoration, but
the stock carried in the better class
of them is varied and the cheaper
grades of German cigars are un-
deniably excellent. The German
cigar which corresponds to our
nickel weed sells at retail here for
about one and a half cents. It has
a filler of Brazilian leaf and is mild
and at first a little sweetish. The
Germans prefer their cigars dry, as
the English do, and most well to do
Germans buy their cigars by the
box or by the 1,000, and take them
home to let them dry out still more.

The "chain of stores" idea was
long ago fully developed in Berlin,
and the firm of Loeser & Wolf con
ducts almost as many retail estab-
lishments in Berlin as Salmon &
Gluckstein do in London.

The Germans have been great
lovers of tobacco ever since they
knew anything about the weed.
They have not always been fastidi-
ous smokers, for some of the old
"kanasier" that our fathers and
grandfathers smoked in this dear
old fatherland was as coarse and
crude as tobacco well could be, but
in one thing the Germans have al-
ways been consistent — they have al-
ways demanded mild tobaccos.

I traveled by leisurely stages from
BudaPesth to this most modern
and most likable capital. I drank
beer in Munich, I bought quaint
trifles in Nuremberg, I took lunch
in Frankfort at a restaurant much
frequented by bankers, in short I
did in all the German cities I visited
whatever the trans- Atlantic tourist
does, and nothing interested me
over greatly. It was in the country,
among the plain people of Germany \
that I most enjoyed myself. Ger '
man Michel is just as simple and
just as amiable nowadays as he was
a hundred years ago, but he has
learned a thing or two about tobacco 1

that his forefathers didn't know,
because, for one thing, it was not
given them to know them. Up to
ten years ago the plain people of
Germany smoked pipes almost ex
clusively — those long, weichsel-
stemmed porcelain-bowled pipes
that the pictures have made us so
familiar with — but latterly they
have taken to cigarettes, and the
short smoke appears to be doing
them a world of good, too, for the
modern German who smokes ci-
garettes appears to be alert and
rather more cosmopolitan than
Germans used to be.

ir New York city on August 4.

Like all the Waldorf-Astoria
stores, the branch at 68 William
street is stocked with the finest im-
ported and domestic cigars, cigar-
ettes and smoking and chewing to-
baccos, and so potent is the name
"Waldorf Astoria" that the Wil-
liam street branch is already doing
a rushing business. In this branch
Mr. Lehman has placed a desk and
chair immediately at the immense
i plate glass window looking out
into the main entrance to the build-
ing. In this cozy and well-lighted
spot those customers who buy their
cigars by the box may inspect the
cigars under the most favorable
conditions.

Charles Fox in Montreal,

Charles Fox, of F. Miranda &
Co., paid a flying visit to Montreal
last week. He says the cigar man-
ufacturers of Montreal appear to
be very prosperous. Good Havana
tobacco seems to be plentiful enough
to supply the needs of Canada's
population of 5,000,000 for some
time to come, but good Pilsener
beer is to be had at only one place
in Montreal. How different from
New York, where good imported
beer is to be had in dozens of places,
whereas good imported tobacco —
but here Mr. Fox's modesty choked
him off.

— Fire last week started in the
Minneapolis Provision Company,
communicated to the Hooker Cigar
Factory, of Minneapolis, causing a
loss of $25,000.

Budget of Fresh News
from Cuba.

The market in Havana for the
week ending August 2d, was full
of animation, and while the sales
do not entirely come up to the same
amount as the previous week, the
respectable total of 7,500 bales has
been the result of northern buyers.
Tampa. Key West and city manu
factarers Of new Partido and
Vuelta Abajo 5,800 bales changed
ownership, and the remaining 1,700
bales, consisted of Remedios to-
bacco, excepting a small lot of 150
bales of old Vueltas.low grades, for
cigarette purposes. The future for
holders of factory vegas, especially
in Partido, looks promising enough,
as the available supply will hardly
be sufficient to tide the factories
over until next year, and therefore
a rise in prices is perhaps more than
likely, in order to counterbalance
and check the too sudden exhaus-
tion of this class of goods. Really
fine Vuelta Abajo tobacco will also
be wanted, and the temprano part
is fast disappearing, but unfortun-
ately the desirable part is limited,
while there may be more undesira
ble bales than people calculated
upon at first. The demand for old
Remedios has chiefly run upon low
grades, although nobody doubts
that the fall and winter months will
create a better market, and corres-
pondingly higher figures may have
to be paid ere long.

New Crop.

The absence of any reports from
the country can only indicate that
people are so busy they have no
time to write. Private news is to
the eflfect that the buying in Vuelta
Abajo of good tobaccos continues
right along — only the defective part
finds no takers. In the Partidos,
nearly everything of the raw leaf in
bundles has been disposed of, and
the competition has been so keen
that even inferior vegas were sold
at higher prices In the Remedios
districts, which suflfered less from
the drought, buying has been also
active, while the poor part is neg-
lected and even at low figures there
is no desire on the part of the Alma
cenistas to undertake anything.
Arrivals.

Don Trinitario Vila, the broktr,
brought a Canadian buyer along
who is looking less for quality than
for low priced goods suitable for

the Canadian market, and he has
secured some 600 bales of Remedios.
El Marques, Don Prudencio Rabell,
returned hale and hearty by the
Morro Castle. Messrs. William J.
Hazlewood, of Leopold Powell &
Co., and Antonio Bock, of Bock &
Co , both of New York, also ar-
rived by the same steamer. Further-
more, Max Stern, of the well-known
firm of Lewis Sylvester & Son, has
to be added to the temporary so-
journers in Havana; also several
cigar manufacturers from Key West
and Tampa, who arrive one day
and leave the next, as the daily
steamer between Key West and
Havana is really nothing more than
a ferry, the trip lasting only six
hours as a rule.

Departures.

Marx, and by the Morro Castle

Antonio Bock.

Havana Cigar Manufacturers.

Business in general is quiet, and,
while orders are not abundant, still
there are enough on hand to keep
most manufacturers busy, with the
prospect of a heavy business to fol-
low ere long. For this reason
nearly all the leading factories have
purchased sufficient stock of the
best leaf to be had, in order to be
prepared to meet the coming de-
mand.

H. Upmann & Co. remain at the
front, and secured 800 bales of the
finest temprano Vuelta Abajo for
the week ending August 2.

H. de Cabanas y Carvajal were
also fair purchasers in the market
for fine Vueltas, and besides have
received from their packings in the
country up to now 3,500 bales.

Suarez & Co. have a large stock
of old goods on hand and also re-
ceive weekly shipments from their
escojidas. Notwithstanding the
dull times the Flor de J. Suarez
Murias factory produces from 90,-
000 to 100,000 cigars per day.

Henry Clay and Bock & Co. ship-
ped the first large consignment of
new cigars by the steamer Morro
Castle; Don Gustavo Bock does not
complain about dull times, and he
has his hands full in looking after
the vast interests of this powerful
concern.

Havana Commercial Co. are also
busy in providing sufficient stock
of the leaf, so as to be able to sup-
ply their numerous factories. Un-

Trade Conditions Agree-
able in Philadelphia.

The weather conditions in Phila-
delphia during the past week have
been quite agreeable, and trade with
the dealers has kept up to at least
the usual August mark, though
naturally it is not so good as during
some other months of the year.

The Tobacco Club, or Jobbers'
Association, of this city seems to be
in a somewhat topsy-turvy condi-
tion. It is stated that several mem
bers have tendered their resigna-
tions, and that their action is but
the forerunner of that of many
others, even if the club does not
entirely collapse This would once
again open the possibility of a gen-
eral distributing agency beingestab-
lished here by the American To-
bacco and Continental Tobacco
Companies, similar to the distribut-
ing methods which were put into
eflfect in New York several years

ago.

Such a course, however, might
be eflfectually blocked if several of
the larger houses here struck their
colors, and participated more liber-
ally in the handling of independent
goods, but indications at present do
not point that way.

A meeting of the Philadelphia To-
bacco Club had been called for last
Thursday evening, but it was again
"called off." It is stated on good
authority that had it taken place
there would have been plenty of
news to report this week. For some
time past the club contemplated an
outing for its members on August
14th, at Ocean City, where Col. Joe
Bardsdale is running a fine villa,
and arrangements had been partially
made with him for their entertain-
ment, but this event, too, has been
declared off.

Although the officers and the
special "Committee" are very reti-
cent on all matters appertaining to
the club, the Paragrapher has man-
aged to secure an interview with
several people who are on the inside,
and is therefore in a position to give

the facts.

%/^

C. S. Hillier, the well-known re-
tail dealer on North Eleventh street,
who has been spending a vacation of
nearly two months in England, is
expected to return to this city on
Saturday next.

Fred \V. Hoch, formerly of Gus-
tav Hoch & Sons, 248 North Eighth

street, is opening a new wholesale
and retail cigar and tobacco house
at 1605 Columbia avenue, and is ex
pecting to have everything in readi
ness for business by the i6th inst.
F. G. Hoch, of the above firm, has
just returned from a two weeks va-
cation, which was spent in the Alle-
gheny mountains.

H. S. Moorhead, of Duncan &
Moorhead, general distributors of
the Marcello and Philadelphia dis
tributors of the Romeo y Julieta
clear Havana cigars manufactured
by Rabell, Costa & Co., in Havana. !
returned this week from a short va-
cation, and will relieve Howard
Terry, the assistant manager, who
is expecting to spend several weeks
in the mountains.

F. B. Robertson, factory repre-
sentative of the Match- It cheroots,
is spending a week in business and
pleasure through Western Pennsyl-
vania. New York State and Canada.
He is expecting to visit Erie. Niag-
ara Falls, Toronto. Buffalo, Roches

Godfrey S. Mahn, the popular ci-
garist at Eleventh and Chestnut
streets, is again home from a two
weeks yachting cruise.

A specially attractive window
display is being made this week at
Robert Klee's Mozart store. South
Penn Square. The display consists
principally of a large array of the
Olga Nethersole ten-cent cigar,
manufactured by Mr. Klee in this
city.

H. B. Grauley reports an excep-
tionally good trade on the Golden
Rule. He also informs us that he
is considering a proposition to open
another factory, as additional facil-
ities could be utilized to good ad-
vantage.

W. H. Coupe, a jobber and retail
dealer at 1409 Ridge avenue, has en-
larged and considerably improved
his store at that place.

Arthur Hagen & Co., the local
distributors of the Harry Weissinger
Tobacco Co., last week issued the
following circular letter: "We beg

Chas. Bolstatter, 1453 Ridge ave-
nue, some weeks ago changed the
interior of his office and sales room
considerably, making it much more
convenient in every way. The ad-
ditional space can also be advantage-
ously utilized.

Boltz, Clymer & Co. are making
preparations to place on the market
a new line of five cent goods. An
aggressive advertising campaign
has been planned and will be vigor-
ously carried out.

B. Lipscbutz is continuing his
advertising campaign. One of his
street car advertisements reads as
follows:

"My cigars are made by hand —
every one.

"They are made by expert cigar
makers, under most healthful con-
ditions, right here in Philadelphia

''Because I made good cigars and
worked hard and did business fairly
I have grown.

"In 1897 I began at 44 N.
Twelfth street with five men. To
day the five men are 100 men and
the little factory is one of the best
equipped in the town."

Doings in the Leaf Trade.

The Fuerst Bismarck, which
sailed from Cherbourg. France, on
the 8th inst., had on board Messrs.
E A Calves, and S. Loeb, both of
this city. They are expected here
late this week. Mr. Calves has
spent ten weeks on the Continent,
while Mr. Loeb has attended quite
a number of the inscriptions at
Amsterdam.

Lew Mueller, the popular repre-
pentative of Dohan & Taitt, is now
spending his vacation in the Rocky
Mountains. Messrs. D. & T. re-
ceived a postal a few days ago writ-
ten at Pike's Peak, advising them
that at that time snow was falling
Singularly enough, upon that day
Philadelphians were sweltering with
the highly humid atmosphere.

Benjamin Labe, of B. Labe &
Sons, is expecting tj sail for Europe
on the 28th inst., per steamer
Oceanic. He is expecting to at-
tend the first fall inscription which
is to take place on the 12th pros.

After covering the Baltimore

trade this week, John E. Plummer,

j with Young & Newman, will join

his family at Cape May, to remain

until September i.

«/%

A E. Herzog, oflBce manager

with F. Eckerson & Co., spent a

delightful vacation at Portland, Me.

George Burghard has been for
some days expecting the arrival of
a fine lot of Wisconsin tobaccos.

Harry Dolinsky, of H. Dolinsky
& Son. is visiting the Connecticut
leaf market.

There were comparatively few
visitors in the leaf trade this week,
among them being Max Sondheim,
of Leonard Friedman & Co., Oscar
Bamberger, with Simon Auerbach
& Co , Frank Pulver, with Sutter
Bros., Harry Spingarn, with E.
Spingarn & Co , Louis Leopold, of
John Leopold & Son , all of New
York, and Morris Rosenthal, of M.
Rosenthal & Co., Lancaster, Pa.

Label Counterfeiters In Chicago.

Isaac Goldsmith, 4333 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, 111., was taken in
custody in that city on August 6th,
by Constable P. J. Kelley on the
charge of counterfeiting the cigar
makers' label, and placed under
I500 bonds by Justice Richardson.

I. B. Kuhn, president of the ci-
gar makers' union of McSherrys-
town. Pa., and C. E. Miller, a ci-
gar manufacturer of the same town,
arrived in Chicago in the morning
to keep an appointment with Gold-
smith, who had offered to sell them
some labels. They notified George
J. Thompson, treasurer of the cigar
makers' union here, of their pres-
ence.

Goldsmith appeared at the Briggs
houte at 10 a. m. and asked for an
advance of $60 on the labels which
he was to deliver to Mr. Miller. He
was told to return later in the day.
At 7 o'clock he returned and was
taken to the room of Mr. Kuhn,
where the constable, Mr. Thompson,
and Philip Spangenburg were wait-
ing in hiding. Mr. Kuhn exhibited
the $105 he was to pay and Gold-
smith brought forth 3,000 labels.
When the deal had been perfected
the trio emerged from their retreat
and Goldsmith was arrested.

Denies Selling Out,

Louis Neumann, of the firm of
Neumann & Hirschhorn, wholesale
cigar dealers of Chicago, 111., stated
that he was sure neither his firm
nor that of Hirschhorn & Mack, in
New York, is a party to any com-
pact for the sale of the United Cigar
Manufacturers to the American Ci-
gar Company or to any other branch
of the trust.

"I have received a telegram from
Hirschhorn & Mack," he said,
"denying that the firm is in any
selling out deal. I do not believe
the United Cigar Manufacturers are
going to sell out to the trust."

Cigar Factory Burned,

The large cigar factory of Ward
& Co., Pontiac, Mich., owned by
A. C. Ward, was entirely destroyed
last week, together with its con-
tents. The building is located
about one mile from the nearest
engine house and considerable diffi-
culty was experienced in getting
water. The whole fire department
was called out and worked with a
will, but to no avail, as the loss is
entire. It had been the practice of
Ward & Co. to make its cigars in
Detroit and ship them to Pontiac to
be stored. The building was prac-
tically full of cigars, all being a total
loss, those not having been burned
having been destroyed by smoke
and water. The total loss on build-
ing and contents is $70,000, with
$54,000 insurance.

It could not be ascertained if Mr.
Ward would rebuild, but it is not
thought that he will.

Frank Trimble Shot.

Frank Trimble, who was for some
years a representative of the Amer-
ican Tobacco Co , but was later a
salesman with the Allen & Marshall
Co., cigar manufacturers of this
city, was accidentally shot whilst
cleaning a revolver, yesterday after
noon, at his home, 3720 Spring Gar
den street, the bullet entering his
head. He was taken to the Presby-
terian Hospital, and his condition
is reported as critical. He is un
married, but has many relatives and
a host of friends here.

A Uniquely Beautiful
Page.

No reader of The Tobacco World
but will take a friendly delight in
the beautiful full page advertise-

The advertisement speaks for it-

attention to the message it bears
Connecticut leaf is, indeed, again

on top, and Sutter Bros, have
packed 10,000 cases of the 1901
crop.

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma
ehinc on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence ol the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine offered.

Tobacco Monopoly for
Russia,

News from St. Petersburg is that
M. de Witte, Minister of Finance,
is considering the establishment of
a Government tobacco monopoly
similar to the French one. Arrange
ments are pending between Belgian
and Russian capitalists to secure
the funds necessary to acquire pri-
vate concerns. It is estimated that
$52,600,000 will be necessary. The
action is believed to be owing to
the rumored intention of the Amer-
ican Tobacco Co. to beginoperations
in Russia.

A Self-Lighting Cigar.

An inventor, who is evidently
wearied of the many fruitless at-
tempts to light a cigar in a windy
street, has invented a combustible
tip, which is intended to do away
with the use of matches. The tip
is composed of a mixture of ground
glass, saltpeter, potnssium chlorate
and gum arat>ic. This mass is
molded into a cap on the end of a
cigar, and a frictional igniter, such

as that used on the tips of matches,
is placed on the surface of the cap.
When the igniter is scratched, the
cap burns freely and cannot be ex-
tinguished by an ordinary wind.
The combustion fuses the ground
glass and renders the cap incandes-
cent. The fused glass forms an air-
proof cover on the end of the cigar
and prevents any of the fumes from
; entering the tobacco, so that no un-
pleasant taste results.

He Had L,ost Something.

A man about 35 years old stopped
on the west side of Broadway be-
tween Thirty third and Thirty-
fourth streets, New York, about 8
o'clock one evening, and began to
search through his coat pockets a»
if he had lost everything he had.
He removed his coat and hunted in
the inner pockets . Then he dropped
the coat on the walk.

Then he removed his waistcoat
and went through its pockets in-
side and out. The waistcoat joined
the coat on the sidewalk and the
crowd of watchers, some of whom
were women, increased. Then he
began to search his trousers'
pockets. The trousers were creased
and turned up at the bottom. He
couldn't find what he was looking
for in tlie pockets and before the
surprised spectators realized what
he was about to do, he had slipped
out of his trousers.

When he got out of his trousers
he held them up and turned them
inside out. Then he felt them all
over carefully, even unrolling the
turned- up section. From the roll
of the right leg a piece of plug to
bacco dropped to the pavement.
The man grabbed it.

Tobacco-Stealing Rats.

They're Carrying Off Whole Plants

for House Material Up In

Connecticut.

A new enemy to growing tobacco
has been discovered at Poquonock,
which is one of the most important
tobacco growing sections in the
Connecticut Valley. The Clark
brothers of that place are large
growers. Among other tracts they
have eighteen acres, bordering on
the Farmington River near where it
empties into the Connecticut. For
a month past they have been trying
to discover whether it was man or
beast that was cutting down six or
eight of the tobacco plants every
night and bearing them away. They
would probably have been wonder-
ing yet if it hadn't been for Michael
Leamy, who knows as much about
the ways of animals as the Clark

brothers do about growing tobacco,
and that's a good deal.

Leamy 's attention was called to
the matter after about three hundred
of the stalks had been cut down
He examined the surroundings and
found a well beaten path leading up
from the river Along this path he
found broken pieces of tobacco
leaves.

* It's some kind rf an animal."
said Mr. Leamy, "aud I think itsa
muskrat."

The others laughed at the idea of
a muskrat being strong enough to
carry off a nearly full grown tobacco
plant. But Leamy knew what he
was talking about and he set a trap
inlhe path, concealing itthoroughly.
He was rewarded by finding a musk-
rat in it. All the other people in
the neighborhood have come to his
way of thinking and they all agree
that to muskrats is due the disap
pearance of the Clark brothers' to
bacco.

The muskrats build houses, using
principally brush, sticks and grasses,
but they have never before been
known to destroy and carry off to-
bacco plants. Mr. Leamy is look-
ing for a house so constructed, so
as to prove his theory beyond doubt.
It is supposed that the rats dragged
the plants through the water to an
island in the river, about two hun-
dred feet from shore, where a winter
house was being erected. Those
familiar with the habits of the
muskrats says the animals are very
strong for their size and that they
have been seen dragging good- sized
pieces of timber through the water
easily.

LANCASTER'S RMPORT.

Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 12, 1902.

One of the most important trans-
actions in the leaf market during
the past few weeks was consum
mated last week, when M. S. Se
Christ, of Columbia, sold practically
his whole packing of 1900 seed leaf,
consisting of about 1,500 cases, to
the United Cigar Manufacturers. S
N. Mumma, of Landisville, also
sold a small lot of 1900 Pennsylva-
nia, and J D. Skiles sold about
100 cases. Altogether, it was a
fairly active week, notwithstanding
that it is August. Including the
numerous small lot sales, about
2,500 cases changed hands during
the week.

The hail storm which passed over
parts of Lancaster and York coun
ties on Sunday, Aug. 3, did quite
some damage in the vicinity of Col-
lins, Falmouth and Bainbridge. It
was followed by a second storm on
the night of the 6th instant, doing
much damage in East Hempfield
township, extending from Lancaster
Junction to Sunhill, a distance of
several miles. Some of the tobacco
was ready to cut.

J. D. Skiles, the veteran leaf
packer of this city, has returned
from a month's stay at Asbury
Park, N. J.

Quite a successful gathering of
Lancaster county tobacco growers
was held at Marietta on August 2
under the auspices of the Lancaster
County Tobacco Growers' Associa
tion, and the participants were de
lightfully entertained at the home
of Dr. Alexander, near which, and
upon whose grounds, the experi
mental work in growing Sumatra
under cover is being conducted this
year. The experiment is proving
quite successful, and has been a
surprise to many farmers who had
not before seen the leaf growing
under canvas. A uniformly high
temperature and sufficient moisture
is being successfully maintained in
the tent, and furthermore the plants
have been protected from other
damage, such as hail, etc.

The tobacco had been topped at
an average height of 6}4 feet, and
ihe ground is said to contain suf
hcient moisture to fuJly mature the
crop, even without any more rain.

Captain Bricker, of Lititz, pre
sided over the meeting, in the ab-
sence of President Herr.

M L. Greider, of Mt. Joy, wha
has been in charge of the experi-
mental station, explained in detail
the planting of the tobacco, and de-
scribed its subsequent progress.

Prof. Milton Whitney, of the Di-
vision of Soils, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, was also present,
and spoke of the work of the gov-
ernment and what was being done
for the tobacco growers, stating that
about $15,000 had been expended
in growing Sumatra and Cuban to-
bacco, introducing the bulk sweat-
ing process, etc.

Messrs. J. Gust Zjok and Menno
M. Fry commented very favorably
upon the success of the bulk sweat-
ing process. Mr. Zook pointed re-
gretfully to the fact that in one year
he had lost about $25, 000 from black
rot, but said that since the beginning
of the bulk sweating system no dif-
ficulty was experienced from that
source.

Mr. Fry also testified to the fact
that in his warehouses he had bulk-
sweated about 8.000 cases without
loss from black rot. This method,
therefore stands highly endorsed.

Latest News from York, Pa.

The damaging hail storm of a
few days ago has repeated itself,
and another of equal violence and
probably more damaging, passed
over the upper end of the county,
tearing the growing tobacco into
shreds and injuring many fine crops.

It was reported that the covering
over the shade-grown York county
tobacco had blown into the river
and the tobacco was damaged, but
this was incorrect, as Mr. Hostetter,
who superintends the work, an-
nounces through a daily paper that
the report was erroneous.

Charles Brashinger, who formerly
manufactured cigars at Windsor,
has secured a position in the United
States Mint at Philadelphia. He
will continue the factory at Windsor
for the present.

J K. Pfaltzgraff & Co. are busy

John Phillips, a cigar commission

Appended hereto will be found
figures gleaned from revenue reports
here. The month was a very busy
one for the officials, and in amount
exceeds the previous month by
several thousand dollars. Eliminat-
ing the differences of reduction by
removal of taxes shows an increase
of $3,140 89 for the month. The
total receipts were $98,526 94.

The manufacturers in several
sections of the county find their
trade improving.

The crops in the field now point
to a fair '93 packing. The rains
since the drought have developed
>jthe plants into healthy stalks which
will make a successful packing if
nothing unlooked for occurs. The
tobacco as a rule is late, being
stunted by dry weather inthespring.
necessitating replanting in many
cases.

Trade in Reading.

Howard W. Riegel, formerly a
member of the firm of Hartman &
Riegel, cigar manufacturers, has en-
gaged in business for himself at

317 Penn street. His factory is in
the rear of the building, and is
equipped with all of the latest ap-
pliances. He makes a specialty of
the nickel brands Think Oh and
the Nickel Bank. The front part
of the building Mr. Riegel has fitted
up as a cigar store and card room.
Walnut cases have been installed
together with oak counter cases.
He will make a specialty of jobbing,
and will shortly place a delivery
team on the streets. Mr. Riegel
has had twenty two years experience
in the business.

On account of ill health, Harvey
J. Hetrick has retired from the ci-
gar manufacturing business and
taken possession of a ten acre truck
farm which he recently purchased
at St. Lawrence, Berks county. He
will probably devote two acres of
hislandto thecultivation of tobacco
The cigar trade here is quite ac-
tive. July, in ordinary years, is
counted as an off month in ihe
j trade, and it is usual to see the lay
ing off of a large number of hands
and the closing of many factories
for two or three weeks. This sum-
mer all have been running, and no
idle cigarmakers are to be found.

Yocum Bros, have this to say:
"Things have been very brisk with
us all month. We do not believe
that the trade has ever seen a better
July. The demand for cigars, es-
pecially from the West, has been
steady. Good times always result
in a big demand for cigars. We
gave our 450 employes a vacation
at their own request. They wanted
a week, and they got it. It is
customary for us to grant them a
vacation annually."

M. Steppacher said: "This has
undoubtedly been my best year
since I have been in business in
Reading, and I am looking for a big
fall and winter trade. When good
wages and steady work prevail the
cigar business is lively, and the
pipe- smoker lays aside hit pipe and

prosperous, and there are fewer
idle cigarmak- rs here than for a
long time."

E. E Kahler, said: "The seasoti
has been one of the best in my recol
lection. I have extended my busi
ness considerably during the pres
ent year. Collections have been
very good, and the trade generally
has been far above the average "

J >hn G Spatz & Co. said: "Our
sales of fine hand made cigars have
been increasing week by week.
General prosperity always helps the
cigar trade, and the cigar manufac
turers in general have been doing
very well this summer. We have
increased our production a great
deal, and have orders enough to
keep us running for some time."

Stewart, Newberger & Co is one
of the busiest cigar firms in the city.
They have doubled their force and
are working overtime. A member
of the firm said: "Things have been
coming our way for some months
past, and we are now crowded with
orders. The trade has been brisk
all summer and there appears to be

no let-up in sight, I feel certain
that the fall trade will be even
heavier."

The Fleck Cigar Co. has come in
for its share of prosperity, and the
members of the firm are jubilant
over their success the past year.
Their leadings brands, the Eastern
Buffalo and Smoke House, have
been introduced in much new terri-
tory, and there is now a steady de-
mand for the goods. Large ship-
ments are made daily. Daniel
Fleck, of this firm, recently returned
from a successful western trip."

Strike at Trenton,

Three hundred girl strikers, on
Wednesday night last, moved on
the factory of the American Cigar
Co., at Trenton, N. J., and with
stones and sticks tried to wreck the
windows of the big six story plant
to aid their cause of a full hour at
noon for dinner.

The girls quit work at noon be-
cause their demands were not agreed
to. They were told to come back
at 12.30 when the whistle blew, but
they did not do so, and also at-
tacked the girls who refused to join
their ranks.

Augmented at night by sympa-
thizers, they moved on the factory
to wreck it. A hurry call was sent
to the Second district police station
and the reserve squad was called out
to meet the girls as they arrived on
the scene. |

The police charged and the girls
fled in all directions. Sixteen-year
old Sallie Carr was the leader ot the
strikers, and she emphatically stated
that they would win and no other
girls would be permitted to work if
their demands were not granted.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
Things are very quiet in the Val-
ley in the tobacco line. Yet dealers
are stirring around, and would
gather up the scattered crops of to
bacco, but those who hold the few
stray crops are, as a rule, held by a
set of men who fully understand
the market conditions. In a recent
conversation with one of these gen-
tlemen, who is holding a good many
tons of the 1901 crop, he said: "No,
it isn't time to set a price on my
holdings. It is, however, improv-
ing in the case, as well as in price
it will bring." This appears to be
about the feeling that animates those
who hold these crops.

The outlook for the present crop
was never better. The probabili-
ties as to its extent are rather against
its being any larger than usual.
Probably more acres were planted,

THE, TOOL OF
ALL TOOLS

As a progressive cigar maker, you are naturally
interested in the tools which will increase your output,
better its quality, and reduce its cost per thousand.

We want to assure you that the DuBrul Dieless
Suction Table is the tool of all tools — the latest and
most important development in cigar making equip-
ment.

There isn't any doubt about the value of the Suction
Table. The Suction Table is not a machine in the strict

sense of the word, but a

tool.

A machine cannot make
good cigars. It takes brains
and that is one thing you
can't get from mechanical
source.

A machine cannot fit a
wrapper properly to the bunch,
nor put a really good head
upon a cigar. A machine does
the same thing over and over
again without regard to the
condition of the bunch, and no
two bunches are likely to be
precisely identical in size and
conformation.

To make a good cigar
you want hand-work, and the
Suction Table gives you hand-
work, done quickly and easily,
but satisfactorily. It gets more
wrappers out of the stock,
stretches them better and en-
ables the operator to make a better looking job and put on
a wrapper that wont have pockets and won't unroll
when smoked.

The objection to Suction Tables has always been
the dies and rollers. It takes time and money to keep
a set of dies and rollers doing decent work, and, as
the tendency is always toward dullness, a certain per-
centage of wrappers will always have a white streak
at the edge, another percentage will be ruined by being

picked up by those rollers, and still another percentage
will be ruined by bad cutting on the mashed ends of
any die.

The DuBrul Dieless • Table does away with all
this — removes every possible objection to a Suction
Table.

The cutting is done by a circular knife which needs
no adjustment and is easy to keep sharp. You always
get a good, clean edge. After the cutting is done, the

knife is swung back out of
the way so that the operator
can have clear sailing, just
like the ordinary board. This
induces palm-work instead of
finger-work and simplifies
cigar rolling so that the oper-
ator learns very quickly to
turn off much more and bet-
ter work than could other-
wise be done.

The increased output and
better looking cigars, and the
saving in wages* soon pays
the cost of the DuBrul Table
and you have a money-maker
and a money-saver that can
always be depended upon
to do good work for you,
\vithout constant annoyance
and distraction of the fore-
man from his duties of super-
intendence.

There may arise in your
mind certain questions you would like to have answered
about this Table. Why not write those questions as
they occur to you and send them to us .^ Our answer
will interest you.

And if you won't have anything but a Die Table,
look into the merits of our machine, "die beste was
es giebt " of that kind. You can see both styles at
our office.

The only matter to write about
worthy of attention this week is the
satisfaciory condition of the growing
tobacco crop which is everywhere,
except on low lands, promising,
and, barring accidents, seems
destined to equal the expectations
of growers and dealers alike. The
harvest is started in a limited way
and the weather conditions are right
for the cutting and shedding of the
leaf.

are being handled, a force of about
thirty being employed in sizing and
tying the goods. The conditions
have continued unfavorable for the
new crop, which is generally back-

The Leaf offerings were lower in

Shipments go forward steadily,

' ' Pouf, ' ' retorted the tobacconist.
"I can make dozens of more per-
fect circles than Giotto ever drew,"
and he proved it by sending a series
of exquisitely rounded smoke
wreaths out of his mouth.

"Shakespeare knew nothing of
tobacco," said the corresponding
member beginning on a new tack,
"and who has written such poetry
as he?"

"How do you know he didn't?"
asked the tobacconist.

"Because he never mentioned
the nasty thing," retorted the cor-
responding member.

"That every student knows,"
rejoined the gentle tobacconist,
"but I suspect the great poet re-
frained from praising a weed which
he must have loved as well as all
of his boon companions at the Mer-
maid tavern did, out of fear."

"Fear?" asked the tobacco hater

"Why, yes," answered the to-
bacconist with greater gentleness
than ever, "I conceive his predica-
ment was something like this: You
see, his wife, his Ann Hathaway,
must have hated tobacco, and 'tis
known her good man was ever under
her thumb. You remember the
great puzzle about Shakespeare's

Mr Charlks S. Morris.

"Mercy," exclaimed the tobacco

i hater, "and who is Chigwooltz, and

in what way does he display an un-

common^degree of common sense

as to tobacco?"

"Chigwooltz is the frog," an-
swered the tobacconist. "That is
the name the Canadian Indians
have given the creature. You know
of all the amphibia, the frog is the
greediest. He will swallow any-
thing that isn't tied down and that
isn't more than five times his own
size. Fishermeti in the Canadian
waters play all sorts of games with
Chigwooltz. A very common one
is to dangle a piece of tobacco be-
fore him and then watch what he
does with it."

"What does he do with it?"
asked the tobacco hater.
"He swallows it."
"And is that all?" asked the to-
bacco hater disappointedly.

"Indeed no," answered the to-
bacconist, "it's only the beginning.
Chigwooltz is a most violent hater
of tobacco. He can't stomach it
at all and, therefore, he unstomachs
it."

"Unstomachs it?" asked the to-
bacco hater.

"Yes," answered this truly
learned tobacconist. "That is pre-
cisely what he does. He literally

The Inscriptions of igo2.

Immediately upon the conclusion
of the spring inscription season in
Holland, F & E. Cianz, the well-
known Sumatra firm of Amsterdam
and New York, sent out the follow-
ing interesting review of the situa-
tion, with especial reference to the
American market:

every city in the United States, in
which imported cigars are regularly

made up his mind to do his utmost
to put an end to this fraud.

Very few retailers of cigars un-
derstand the law on the subject of
the destruction of the customs and
revenue stamps on boxes of im-
ported cigars after the contents have
been destroyed. The law requires
that each stamp shall be "utterly
destroyed."

Utterly destroyed means literally
just what the words imply. The
stamps may be destroyed by wash-

America.

"The entire purchases for Amer-
ica at the spring inscriptions
amounted to 23,000 bales. Credit-
ing the two largest cigar manufac-
turing corporations in America with
9,000 bales, the remaining 14,000
bales being taken by other American
buyers, we see that last year during
the same period fully i (,000 bales
more were taken by the independent
buyers of the United States. This
falling oflF, which is enormous, is
sure to make itself felt before long,
and consumers will do well to take
the figures just given into account.

"The spring inscription season of
1902 has been peculiar in that the
Dutch tobacco growing companies
altered their time honored custom,
and instead of oflfering their best
goods at the first sales, brought
much finer tobaccos under the

the 1 90 1 crop in America had a very
depressing eflFect, so depressing, in
fact, that at the sales immediately
following some of the best tobaccos
of the year were secured by Amer-
ican buyers.

'•The truth is that the crop of
1901 was inferior to that of the
previous year in many respects.
Nevertheless, there were in the 1901
crop many lots very fine in style
and decidedly superior to many
which were sold as good tobaccos in
the previous year's inscriptions.

"The colors in the 1901 crop may
not be always exactly what is de-
sired, but the yield is excellent, and
in burn and fineness of texture this
crop is nothing behind the previous
one.

"One of the largest of the Amer-
ican Sumatra buying corporations
was in our opinion decidely unfor-
tunate this year, partly because they
bought at the wrong period and
partly because they seemed to con
fine themselves to the buying of
certain marksand leaf having certain
colors.

"Last year this same corporation
bought only the finest goods it
could find. The change in its
policy resulted to the advantage of
the other American buyers, who
were thus enabled to secure really
fine goods at reasonable prices.
Therefore, the independent cigar
manufacturers in America need not
fear that they will be unable to
secure fine Sumatras at prices which
will enable them to compete with
their big rivals Respectfully

F. & E. Cranz.

The Pearl-Studded Cigar
Case,

"When we got to Paris, there
seemed to be an epidemic of gun-
metal ornamentsset with tiny pearls
diamonds, or sapphires. Of these
I noticed that Jimmie admired the
pearl studded cigar cases and match
safes most, but for some reason I
wanted to make my purchases in
London, which was one of the most
foolish things I ever have done in
all my foolish career; and right here
let me say that there is nothing so
unsatisfactory as to postpone a pur-
chase, thinking either that you will
come back to the same place or that
you will see better further along,
for in nine cases out of ten you
never see it again.

"When we got to London, Bee and
I put on our best street clothes and
started out to buy Jimmie his birth-
day present. We searched every-
where, but found that all gun- metal
articles in London were either plain
or studded with diamonds. We
couldn't find a pearl Finally, in
one shop I explained my search to
a tall, heavy man, evidently the
proprietor, who had small green
eyes set quite closely together, a
florid complexion, and hay- colored

side whiskers. His whiskers irri-
tated me quite as much as the fact
that he hadn't what I wanted. Per-
haps my hat vexed him, but at any
rate he looked as though he were
glad he didn't have the pearls, and
he finally permitted his annoyance,
or his general British rudeness, to
voice itself in this way:

"Pardon me, madam," he said,
"but you will never find cigar cases
of gun metal studded with pearls,
no mat^er how much you may de
sire it, for it is not good taste."

I was warm, irritated, and my
dress was too tight in the belt, so I
just leaned my two elbows on that
show case and I said to him:

"Do you mean to have the im
pertinence, my good man, to tell
two American ladies that what they
are looking for is not in good taste,
simply because you are so stupid
and insular as not to keep it in
stock? Do you presume to express
your opinion on taste, when you
are wearing a green satin necktie
with a pink shirt? If you had ever
been off" this little island, and had
gone to a land where taste in dress,
and particularly, in jewels, is un-
derstood, you would realize the im-
pertinence of criticising the taste ol
an American woman, who is trying
to find something worth while buy-
ing in so hopelessly British a shop
as this." I

"Now, my good man," I added,
taking up my parasol and purse, I
"I shall not report your rudeness
to the proprietor, because doubtless
you have a family to support, and
I don't wish to make you lose your
place, but let this be a warning to
you never to be so insolent again,"
and with that, I simply swept out
of his shop. I seldom sweep out.
Bee says I generally crawl out, but
this time I was so inflated with an
unholy joy that I recklessly cabled
to Paris for Jimmie 's pearls, and
to this day I rejoice at the way that
man covered his green satin tie with
his large, hairy red hand, and at
the ecstatic smiles on the faces of
two clerks standing near, for I knew
he was the proprietor when I called
him "My good man." — From
"Abroad with the Jimmies," by
Lillian Bell.

A Gorgeous Cigar Case.

One of the handsomest cigar cases
ever made was recently presented
to an officer of high rank in the
Austrian army by the present Czar
of Russia. It is of gold, with the
Czar's face done in Russian enamel,
surmounted by the imperial crown
in diamonds.

A Sampler's Views on
Sampling.

Office of RUSCHER & Co.
Tobacco Inspectors,

149 Water Street,
New York, Aug. 22, 1902.
Dear Medicine Man.

The sampling of natural sweat
domestic cigar leaf, now so general
in the middle of August, is in my
opinion, a mistake Samples drawn
in August will not faithfully lepre
sent the contents of a case of to
bacco Tobacco sampled in August,
while still in a state of fermentation,
is apt to be flabby, warm and too
sensitive If sampled in the mid-
dle of September, after the natural
fermentation has ceased, it would
be greatly to the advantage of the
owner of the tobacco, because then
the sample would be truly repre
sentative.

The practice of sampling early
has come into vogue of late years
in compliance with a supposed de-
mand from bu>ers and ' lookers."
During the four weeks between
the middle of August and the mid
die of September tobacco colors up
more evenly That which is sam-
pled in the middle of August is apt
to be raw and of uneven colors
Moreover, tobacco sampUd in Au
gust is apt to be damaged In the
process of cooling off, after the
early sampling has been done.luik
ing defects in the tobacco may be-
come apparent and hence difficulties
and disputes occasionally arise be-
tween buyer and seller and in-
spector, and although this danger
is foreseen by the sampler he has
to sample the tobacco as he finds
it, notwithstanding the fact that
he is unable to make any predic-
tion as to how the tobacco will

turn out after the fermentation pro-
cess is finally completed.

Please bear in mind that in what
I have just said I have been speak-
ing altogether of natural sweat to
bacco. The time is not far off, I
think, when all Eastern tobaccos,
and possibly also the tobaccos of
all the leaf growing states, will be
force sweat, for the simple reason
that force sweating takes out all the
surplus moisture in a very short
time. Force sweating costs less
than natural sweating, because it
obviates many dangers the natural
sweat leaf is subject to.

If we have a good hot summer,
the moisture in natural sweat to
bacco goes off between May and
September. In such a summer as
we have had this year a great deal
of the moisture is retained and is
apt to cause mold. In the natural
sweat tobacco sampled this August
inspectors found a great deal of
moisture, but the force sweat leaf
was found to be healthy and in very
good condition. A considerable
number of tobacco people think
that force sweating hurts the quality
of the tobacco It only does that
if the force sweating is done by
those who do not thoroughly un-
derstand it. But the sampling of
force sweat tobacco should not take
place before September either, be-
cause even when it comes out of the
sweat it has still to undergo natural
conditions. Frank Ruschbr.

The Refilling of "Empties."

New York, August 21, 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

I have just finished reading the
very complete and inte!Wting ac
count of the great cigar box refilling
case published in this week's To
bacco World.

It seems to me, since club servants
are the source of the supply for the
market in 'empties," that there is a
very simple way of putting an end
to this nuisance, and this means is
directly in the hands of the house
committee of every wealthy club in
New York and elsewhere. The
house committee of every club in
which imported cigars are sold
doubtless keeps a record of every
box turned over to the steward, or
whatever other club employe who
sells the cigars to members or thtii
friends. Now, all that the house
committee has to do in order to
make sure that club "empties" will
not find their way into the market
is to require the return of thesti
boxes as soon as they are emptied
To reduce each of them to splinters
would be the work of a second, a
mighty good work too, and one
which, moreover, should be dear to
the heart of every member of every
wealthy club, because it is these
very gentlemen who are the largest

buyers of imported cigars not only
at their clubs, but at the cigar stores.
I am quite sure that none read
the accounts of the seizure of
"empties" at 296 Broadway by
revenue agent Frank G. Thompson,
which were published in the New
York morning papers of August 15,
with more direct interest than did
that important class of the com
munity — important, I mean, by
reason of its wealth and intelligence
— which is in the habit of smoking
imported cigars. Those of them
who usually buy their cigars at a
retailers must have felt that they
were on very uncertain ground in
deed, for some of the daily paptrs
made it appear that the practice of
substituting cheap domestic cigars
for expensive imported ones was a
common practice throughout New
York. This, you will permit me to
say, is apt to work a great injustice
to very many retailers. I am my
self a retailer, and I handle as many
imported cigars, I think, as any
man in the business. My interest
in writing you is, therefore, a per
sonal one. I cannot afford to have
my customers think they are not
getting just what they call for in my
store.

You will oblige me by bringing
this letter directly under the eye of
the house committee of every club
in New York in which cigars are
sold. If the house committees will
act upon my suggestion and will see
to it that all emptied cigar boxes
are broken up, they will do a genu-
ine service not only to their own
members while upon club premises,
but also to the retail cigar dealers
and the public in general. To the
extent that they do their work faith
fully the house committees will aid
to swell the incomes of Uncle Sam,
of the cigar manufacturers and ci
garmakers of Cuba, of the tobacco
growers and packers of that island,
of the cigar importers and cigar
dealers of the United States, of the
label lithographers, cigar box
makers and others too numerous to
mention, L. M L

I think L. M. L. 's suggestion a

be pleased to hear from the clubs on
this subject. The Medicine Man.

The Solace Tobacco Gives the
Russian Peasant Described.

London, Aug. 10, 1902.
Dear Quakers and Knickerbockers.
It was not my fortune to be one
of King Edward's guests at dinner
last night. I should like to have
been there, if only for the purpose
of seeing whether the King enjoyed
his after dinner cigar or not. I
have already told you how the
King's lieges of London had a glor-
ious coronation day, and how, for
once in its history, London smelt
of good cigar smoke. I am now
going to tell you of a class of
smokers who, I think, love to-
bacco with a more passionate de-
votion than any other class of peo-
ple in the world, those of Cuba not
excepted. I mean the mujiks or
peasants, of Russia. It is not true
that every working man in Russia
is a slave to brandy. The brandy
drinkers you will find in the large
cities. I have seen many of them
and I am quite sure that the Rus-
sian drunkard is the most repulsive
of all drunkards. The agricul-
tural classes of Russia are usually
very devout members of the Greek
Catholic church, very hard work-
ing, very self denying, and, all
recent reports to the contrary not-
withstanding, very loyal to their
Czar. Those travelers who repre-
sent that the Russian peasants are
stupid, have either not studied them
very closely or are themselves ob-
tuse. Russia is an enormous pro-
ducer of cereals of many kinds, and
the only reason she doesn't pro-
duce wheat enough to supply the
world, or very nearly so, is that
her system of land tenure is bad.
Most of the agricultural lands of
Russia are cultivated, not by the
owners, but by tenants who have
no especial interest in them. These
tenant farmers merely scratch the
surface of the fruitful earth, instead
of developing its resources to the

fullest possible extent, as they
would do were they the owners of
their acres.

Possibly the feeling that they are
liable at any moment to be ordered
from their farms is responsible for
the melancholy which is apparent
in the countenance of every Russian
peasant. Now, your melancholy
man is apt to be a heavy smoker.
At least this is the almost universal
rule in the rural districts in Russia.
Most Russian farmers grow their
own tobacco and make their own
pipes. Their name for the tobacco
which they grow, and which is
similar to that grown in the Ger-
man palatinate, is "mahorka." I
don't know the etymology of the
word. The pipes smoked by Rus
sian farmers are made by their own
hands out of curly birch, a wood
which is very common in Russia.

I smoked many pipefuls of ma-
horka during my short stay in Rus-
sia this past summer. I am free to
say I tike this tobacco greatly, but
I like the Russian mujiks very
much better. They are a simple.
God-fearing, law abiding class, and
if they love their Czar half as well
as they love their mahorka, all I
have to say is that Nicholas II is a
very lucky young monarch.

I/a Itttegredad's New Home.

Charles S. Morris & Co., pro-
prietors of the famous La Integre
dad clear Havana cigar factory, are
now comfortably installed in their
new and remarkably well lighted
factory at 131 -133 135 Duane street,
New York. The factory occupies
the three upper floors of a large
building with a floor space of
seventy five feet each way. On
their working floors the firm can
accommodate from 350 to 400 ci-
garmakers.

Charlie Morris started out for a
three months' trip to his Western
trade as far as the Pacific coast, on
Sunday last. This is the trip upon
which he had started several months
ago, but from which he was called
home because of the uselessness of
booking further orders, in face of
the fact that with the limited capac-
ity of the firm's old factory it was
impossible to fill the orders then on
hand.

Imported (?) Quillos,
It is a singular fact, although
Americans are known to be the
most inventive of people, that every
successful American innovation is
instantly set down by most Ameri-
cans as an imported article. A

recent instance is Joseph Kraus'
Quillo. A wealthy New Yorker to
whom a Quillo was given by a friend
the other day, is going around now
telling folks what a fine new im-
ported cigar it was. He didn't
known the name of it and so he
identified it to his friends as the
cigar with "a quill in the middle."
His enthusiastic praise of the cigar
has created quite a demand for the
Quillo brand in that portion of the
city in which this gentleman has
his home.

/. S. Murias y Ca, Absorbed,

The famous cigar manufacturing
' firm of J S. Murias y Ca., of Ha-
vana, has been absorbed by the Ha-
vana Tobacco Company, and has
been incorporated under the New
Jersey statute, and under the old
I firm name, with a capital of $1,500,-
000. The articles of incorporation
provide for the appointment of a
board of directors, who may fix and
vary the sum to be reserved for
I working capital, acquire, transfer,
mortgage, pledge or otherwise dis-
I pose of shares of capital stock,
I bondscr otherevidencesof indebted-
j ness created by any other corpora-
tion, and guarantee dividends on
shares of capital stock of any cor-
poration in which the Murias cor-
poration has an interest.

Jos. Kraus' Cashier Robbed.

Bold Ruffians Get Away with the
Weekly Pay Roll.

Miss Minnie L Klein, cashier for
Joseph Kraus, of 535 537 539 East
Seventy fifth street. New Yotk,
maiuficturers of the Qaillo and
Peekolo and other brands of cigars,
was robbed of $887 in the factory
building at noon on August 23
The money had been drawn from
the Nineteenth Ward Bank for the
purpose of paying oflf the hands in
the factory.

Miss Klein has been in the habit
of drawing money from the bank
for the purpose named for the past
two years. Mr. Kraus had fre-
quently counseled her to take an es-
cort with her, but she had uniform-
ly gone unattended. The Kraus
factory is right on the East river.

Miss Minnie L. Klein.
The neighborhood is infested with
young men who never work and
who hang around the saloons that
are very plentiful in that section of
the city. It is surmised that certain
of th-se were posted concerning
Miss Klein's Saturday business
At any rate two shabbily dressed
smooth faced, under sized young
fellows, whom Miss Klein is confi
dent she could identify, accosted
the young lady as she reached the
head of the first flight of stairs lead
ing to the factory, which is on the
third floor of the building, and
asked her the name of the occupant
of the rooms on the second floor
Before she could reply one of the
ruffians seized the roll of money
Miss Klein carried in a piece of
brown paper and thrusting it into
his pocket, escaped with it down
the stairs His confederate stifled
Miss Klein for an instant and then I
he too broke away and escaped. In
his hurry the first man dropped $8y
which was afteiward found

Miss Klein, recovered almost
instantly from the attack of which

she had been the victim and gave
chase. She dtd not succeed, how-
ever, in ovei taking either of the
robbers.

Mr. Kraus, who is summering at
Arderne, L. I., was not in New
York on August 23 He was made
acquainted with the robbery and
came at once to the factory. It was
too late to get money from the bank
then and at first the 160 or more
employes feared that in robbing Mr.
Kraus the thieves had for the time
being robbed them of their Saturday
night 's wage. But there was found
to be enough money in the safe to
pay all of the employes in part.
Mr. Kraus acted mo.st kindly toward
the grief stricken little cashier He
told the girl she could not possibly
be blamed and that he felt only
sympathy for her.

SUMATRA TOBACCO UNDER SHADE
IN PENNSYLVANIA.

Several experiments in raising
Sumatra tobacco under shade are
being made this year in Pennsyl
vania, for the first time.

The most important of these are
by the Agricultural Department of
the State, on a plot of ground at
Marietta, Pa., donated for that pur-
pose by Dr. Alexander, the owner
of the ground, and another, an in-
dividual enterprise, conducted by
I. B. Hostetter, of the York Stan-
dard Leaf Co , of York. Pa., on an
island in the Susquehanna River
known as Hartman's Island, and
situated immediately opposite the
town of Bainbridge, in Lancaster
county, which was leased for the
purpose from Jacob Doll, a cigar
manufacturer at Saginaw, York

which run length- wise through the
patch, are thirty- two inches apart,
and the plants in the rows twelve
inches apart.

The advantages claimed for tent
grown tobacco seem apparent as
soon as one gets inside. The at-
mosphere is not only warmer, but
remains much more moist, as well
as more uniform.

The plants were raised from Su
matra seed by Mr. Hostetter, and
the cloth with which the tent is
covered was procured in Connecti
cut and is the same as is being used
there The plants were set out
from June ist to June 20th, and on
August 8th measured from 8 to 10
feet in height, and have upwards
of twenty perfectly developed leaves

stringing the leaves on laths, each
lath containing about 200 leaves,
and which are always strung " face
to face," and so on, after which
they are hung on rafters in the barn
for curing.

The crop which we had the pleas-
ure of visiting to day shows up re
markably well for quality. The
leaves are thin and clean in every
respect, and possess every indica-
cation of producing a large percent-
age of light wrappers. Spots are
developing beautifully and perfectly.
The leaves are also practically free
from rust.

It is believed that this tobacco
can be successfully raised in Penn
sylvania by carefully selecting the
soil. The soil in this case seems
peculiarly adapted to the purpose.
Many of those present who had vis-
ited other crops were free to admit
that this was the finest crop they
had yet seen. It is expected that

iti a corn roasting such as the aver-
age visitor never before partici-
pated in.

Refreshments and beverages of
all kinds were abundant. In fact,
the genial host had left nothing un-
done to furnishing a complete and
enjoyable outing.

During the course of the afternoon
a social game was played by John
F. Heiland and E W. Bittner,
Harrison Shirk and I. H. Weaver.
Heiland and Bittner claim to have
been the successful contestants.
The game in Lancaster county is
known as " Hansen pfeffer."

Aside from the pleasure and in-

also indulged in to its fullest extent.
A diversity of amusements was to

A novel feature of the entertain-

Head chef "Case" had full charge
of the clam bake, and certainly ac-

A Unique Window
Display.

The accompanying illustration
is a half tone reproduction from a
« photograph of a unique window
display made at the store of the
Powers Mercantile Co., Minne-
apolis, Minn., of the Ben Hur 5
cent cigar, manufactured by Gustav
Moebs & Co., of Detroit, Mich.
This display was made under the
personal supervison of Mr. C. E
Walters, manager of the cigar de
partment of the Paris- Murton Co.,
who are the northwestern distri
butors of the Ben Hur brand. We
are informed that this is the first
eflfort in the line of window displays
that has been undertaken by Mr.
Walters, and it will be at once ob-
served that it is an admirable sue
cess. We hope that it will serve
as an object lesson to many others
who could profitably loUow the
footsteps of Mr. Walters.

known cheroot manufacturer of Tif
fin, O , denies that he is connected
with the recently organized United

Tobacco Culture in
Wisconsin.

Just how far in the northern
counties of the state tobacco culture
can be successfully extended is ytt
a question to decide, says the Ed-
gerton Tobacco Reporter. C. S
Curtis, of Wassau, thinks it can be

done beyond the middle of the state.
In a recent interview he says: "The
soil upon which the pines grew is
good for more things than is sup-
posed. We are proud of our fine
grasses and pasturage and of the
stock that is bred on them and we
are proud of the other things we are

raising. Now we have tried to-
bacco, which is generally thought
of as a southern crop, and our soil,
you know, is still regarded by many
as an arctic soil. Experiment's
have shown that tobacco grows well
in the soil, and we are trying now
to see if it is a safe and paying crop.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to-day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

If it so proves Marathon County
will become a good tobacco county.
The growing of tobacco is a great
industry in Wisconsin and year by
year the crop reaches further north.
Marathon County is the farthest
north they have dared to try it as a
crop, although some choice leaf was
ripened in a garden as a flowering
plant at Ironwood several years ago.
We are filling up the country up
north and every new thing we find
to grow with profit helps us just
that much in developing the coun
try. People ought to come up in
the valley and see just what we can
do."

Meyer Greenwald

Wanted on a Charge of Counter-
feiting Labels.

The Cincinnati police are going
to try to extradite a man charged
with a misdemeanor. Meyer Green-
wald, formerly a cigar manufacturer
in that city, is locked up at Chicago
and being held for the local author
ities. He is wanted on a warrant
charging him with using the coun
terfeit of union labels on his cigar
boxes. The warrant was issued
more than a month ago, by request
of members of the Cigarmakers'
Union. Greenwald left the city
before the police got to him, but
was located in Chicago and his
arrest requested. He refuse to re-

turn without requisition papers,
and will probably have a lawyer
making a fight for him.

Collectors had long known that

Collector William McCoach led

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

Thii is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers, sv It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana^
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and

This is the Most Durable, Best

Brevasin Costly Masquerade answer to the United States authori-

In one retail cigar store in New
York city, Porto Rican brevas have
been masquerading for a long time
as genuine Carvajalinvincibles.but,
thanks to revenue agent Frank G.
Thompson, the ball is now over.
The genuine Carvajal invincibiles
come from Cuba in boxes of 100
each. Each box contains four
bundles of 25 invincibiles each.
Each bundle is tied together with a
piece of bast. One day last week
an officer attached to Mr. Thomp
son's staff went into a certain cigar
store in the second Metropolitan
district and calling for an imported
cigSiT got two of the masquerading
Porto Rican brevas and paid 25
cents apiece for them, the price of
the Carvajal invincibiles.

The next day Mr. Thompson
called on the cigar man in person.
After explaining the law Mr
Thompson pointed out to him a
little mistake he had made in tying
his bundles of fake cigars with
yellow silk cigar ribbon instead of ^^^' ^^ 8° round
with bast. The fakir put up as \ ^^^°S ^eld at stiff figures and the

New York Leaf Market

The New York leaf district has
seldom been so crowded with out
of-town buyers as during the present
week. Almost every important
house in the West is represented by
its buyer, yet the number of trans
actions is small up to this date.
The truth appears to be that these
gentlemen cannot make up their
minds to invest in the domestic leaf,
and yet the temptation to plunge,
on account of the known scarcity of
desirable domestic leaf, is tugging
at the heart strings of each of them.
A number of buyers, as an extra
precaution, have gone up to Con
necticut, for the purpose of inspect-

even the largest of them now buy

in lots. Importers say tiie manu-

Another Fraud Unearthed

It is stated that a certain New
York tobacco firm is disposing of
hundreds of thousands of stogies in
the Mahoning valley, Ohio, at prices
that are a great inducement to
dealers Dominick Latatta, of War-
ren, O., availed himself of 5,000 of
the choice weeds and now he is ,

A little Cigarette.

An exchange describes a cigarette
as " a roll of paper, tobacco and
drugs, with a small fire at one end
and a large foul at the other. Some j
of its chief enjoyments are con-
densed nightmare, fits, cancer of
the lip and stomach, spinal menin- I
gitis, softening of the brain, funeral
processions, and a family shrouded
in gloom "

It is to be hoped that he feels
better after clearing out all that bit-

I^ANCASTHR'S RHPORT.

Lancaster, Pd., Aug 26, 1902.

The local leaf market has been
fairly good for some days, and re-
ports show a fair business. More
or less active preparations have been
going on in anticipation of fall busi-
ness.

The new crop is maturing rapidly,
and in fact several crops in the
county have already been housed.

Walter S Bare is on an outing
of two weeks, with his family, at
Atlantic City.

J G. Shirk is also rusticating
with his family at Asbury Park.

Some good sized orders have been
received by E. F L'lw lately.

H L. Rathfon, formerly a cigar
manufacturer of this city, has left
the town, and his aflFdirs are in bad
shape. His house and lot was
recently sold by the sherifif. and
netted $200 above the mortgage
encumbrance. Mrs. Rathfon issued
execution against him for some
moneys due her. He was once a
respected citizen but a woman got
into the case and a local scandal has
been caused.

J. G. Shirk will soon place upon
the market a new brand of cut plug
or sliced tobacco, under the title of
King Duke. It will be a package
of one and two- third ounces for 5
cents, put up in a very attractive
package. Also a King Duke gran
ulated, one and two third ounces
for 5 cents. Also King Duke cut
plug in one and two third ounces
foil, for 5 cents. With all of these
goods coupons will be issued for a
unusually large list of premiums
Already two extra salesmen have
been engage for Pennsylvania and
New Jersey territory. The goods
will be made up under the union
label.

Trade in Reading.

Deputy Internal Revenue Col-
lector Cranston received an appli-
cation from William J Bausher, of
Hamburg, f . r a cigar factory to be
opened in that borough .Mr. Bausher
will employ half a dozen cigar
makers at the start.

Taylor Bros , who assumed the
business of the M H Taylor To
baf'co Co. . filed their bond last week.

Morris Greenburg has closed his
cigar factory at Allentown, and will
engage in other business.

Charles Lachman, travelingsales-
man for Daniel Bobb, cigar manu-
facturer of Womelsdorf, recently
returned from a successful Eastern
trip, with a number of large orders
for Mr. Bobb's leading brands.

J. L. Greene, of J L & M F.
Greene, leaf tobacco dealers, was
in Philadelphia and New York on
business last .week.

Cornelius Moyer, formerly a
patrol operator under ex- Mayor
Leader here, has embarked in the
cigar and tobacco business at Fifth
and Bingaman streets.

H. E. Spannuth, a Philadelphia
leaf tobacco man, was in Reading,
on business for a few days.

E L Schatzlein, a prominent
cigar manufacturer of Kutztown, is
in an Allentown hospital, where he
underwent a tedious operation. He
is doing nicely.

M Steppacher, cigar manufac-
turer, expects his output for the
present year to be double that of
1901. In a single month his busi-
ness showed again of ioo,ooocigars,
and he is rushed with orders. He
runs the largest blue label cigar
factory in this district. Much of
his product goes to the West and
the New England states, were labor
organizations are strong and there
is a big demand for union cigars.
His leading brands are the Royal
Berks, Elbano, El Steppacher, and
K S. He says that his trade was
never in better shape.

The cigar factories here use mil-
lions of cedar and poplar boxes,
and the manufacture of these give
employment to a large number of
boys, girls and young women. It
is an industry that is seldom dull
here.

The factory of Gumpert Bros, is
running on full time and large
orders areconstantly being received.
Manager Engel stated that the firm's
trade this summer has exceeded his
expectations.

The Cinco Base Ball Club of
Eisenlohr's cigar factory, at Boyer-
town. organized a few weeks ago,
will have uniforms for their next
game, the gift of their employer.
The first gift was J25 in cash to
purchase the base ball material to
start a club. Now Mr Eisenlohr
gave them enough money to pur-
chase uniforms He is certainly a
generous employer.

The cigar manufacturing firm of
Lengel & Ernst is busy. The Tul-
pehocken cigar, their leader, ^s sold
largely in this section. Fine hand
work is made a specialty. Mr.
Lengel the senior member of the
firm, was on a southern trip last

celebrated Pompey cigar, made an
important real estate deal here last
week when he purchased the build
ing he occupies. The property is
at 35 and 37 North Fifth street and
has a frontage of 30 feet and is 250
feet deep. The property was sub
ject to a f 12,000 mortgage, besides
there was considerable interest due,
and other charges including city
and school tax. After the mort-
gage, interest and taxes are paid
the property will cost Mr. Orth
about $18,000. He now conducts a
cigar store in one of the store rooms
and a cigar factory in the rear. Real
estate dealers say the figure is a
bargain. At the time the public
building was built here $25 000 was
oflFered for the property to the former
owner, Edward M. Luden, but the
ofifer was refused.

Latest^ews from York, Pa.

/ The climax in the canvas grown
tobacco in York county was reached
last Saturday, when I. B Hostetter,
the manager of the experiment,
commenced cutting in the presence
of a number of cigar and tobacco
men from this vicinity and abroad
In order to celebrate the occasion
befittingly a clam bake was held
with a lunch for those present Mr
Hostetter's knowledge of cutting,
etc., was reinforced by a recent trip
to Connecticut tobacco fields, from
which he returned a week ago It
is expected that the experiment will
be a huge success.

The Dallas Cigar Co , of Dallas
town, is very busy at present, and
contemplate opening another factory
for the purpose of filling orders more
promptly.

J. Flinspach, from Germantown,
Ohio, is making his initial trip to
this vicinity, and is pleased with the

trade.

Considerable improvement has
been made at the Sonneman ware-
house. A new office has been con-
structed at a more convenient part

of the building, into which the
beam of the scales protrudes, facili
tating the weighing of tobacco when
receiving and handling.

The Paragon Cigar Co has placed
a salesman on the road, and no
doubt will shortly be very busy.

W H. Patterson, of the Eagle
Leaf Tobacco Co., has returned
from a vacation at Atlantic City.

Chas. W. Salomon, of the Porto
Rico Leaf Co , New York, has
withdrawn his suit against Chas.
Smith, of Red Lion, instituted some
time ago, with others, for alleged
fraudulent disposition of goods, pur
porting to be unpaid for. As Mr
Salomon appears to be the only one
who signed the information, he was
again the only one able to withdraw
the suit, notwithstanding the fact
that same was maintained and sus
tained by a number of tobacco men
here. It is reported that the dealers
here affected will combine for a
different plan.

Robert Granat, of Gillen &
Granat, is now on a western busi
ness trip.

W M Shook, Superintendent of
the Bear-Sprenkle Co factory at
West Manchester, started on Sun
day morning for Buffalo and Niag-
ara, on a business and pleasure trip

Rumors have been current here
for some days regarding the con
solidation of a number of York

Budget of Fresh News
from Cuba.

The animation in the market of
Havana for the week ending Aug.
1 6th has continued. Prices are
stiffening perceptibly, and with ar-
rivals of buyers from the north the
movement is bound to spread. It
is said that most purchasers have
expressed themselves as to the ab
solute truth of the reports published
heretofore in regard to the shortage
in the wrapper portion of this year's
crop, and for this reason they have
not hesitated to buy largely at the
ruling figures. Of course, that the

have moved away to more favorable
spots, where they may stand a
better chance to earn their frugal
living.

Seedlings are prepared in the
Vuelta Abajo and Partido regions,
and if the weather proves favorable
the chances are that in this portion
of the island at least a large crop
will be planted, but whether it will
be harvested finally and prove really
fine in texture, color, burn and
quality is something that nobody
can predict. In the beginning of
this year the Vuelta Abajo crop was
proclaimed to possess exceptional
fine qualities; hopes ran high and

latter will leave only a very slim | cigar manufacturers (excepting one
margin, if any at all, is also admit- (Concern) of Havana, as well as

patronage of the smoking public, or : part bears no proportion to the mass

ter method would be more disas
trous still, they have wisely chosen
the former court^e.

Sales sum up 7,000 bales, and
must be divided Into about 2 000

harvested. The cause of this change
in opinion is ascribed to climatic
influences during the drying off pro
cess of the "cujes" in the barns, as
the continued dry atmosphere in

bales of factory vegas of Vuelta January, February and March took
Abajo and Partido, 2 300 bales of the sap out of the cut tobacco too

quickly, and thus prodl^ced the ugl>

region the process of curing

MAKE MORE,
^ ^ CIGARS ^ ^

Your natural ambition is to make more cigars,
better cigars, handsomer cigars and to do it in
the most economical manner.

We have a cigar makers' table that will
permit you to satisfy your ambition to the full.

It is the DuBrui Dieless Suction Table.

Its chief merit is wrapped up in that word
*' dieless".

This Table, as shown
in the cut herewith, has
no dies or rollers : con-
sequently, it eliminates
all the bother, expense
and time necessary to
keep the dies and rollers
in proper shape to work
at all.

The cutting is done
by a circular knife, which
swings out of the opera-
tor's way after the wrap-
per is cut. The knife does
far better work than any
die. It is easier to keep
in proper cutting condi-

The freedom from obstruction induces palm-
work instead of finger-work, which is of obvious
importance.

The operators like this table because it is
so simple, there being no hidden mechanism
and no complicated parts. They will not work
on other tables if they can get work on this.

This Table does away
with all the objections
to and imperfections of
the old-time tables and
is the latest and most
important development in
the art of making perfect

ry

cigars.

tion — it needs no adjustment — it will never roll
up, nor tear a wrapper, no matter how sticky,
and never leaves a white streak on the edge
of dark wrappers as all dies are bound to do.

Having no cumbersome mechanism in the
way and being free from the constant exertion
entailed by such mechanism, the operator works
faster and does better work.

You ought to have it.
No cigar manufactur-
er who is looking out
for his own interest can
afford to have any other
tables, even if he got
them for nothing.

But in case you don't
agree with us, we beg
to remind you right here
that we can sell you the best table with
dies, and you can see both styles side by side
at either of our offices.

We can't tell you all about it here because
it is a long story.

A letter from you will bring full infor- ^
mation.

tobacco still in the country, not-

but as their cigars are selling rapidly
they have to keep on buying to-
bacco. The lar^e hall in their

Berriman Bros., New York — M
W. Berriman secured 1,800 bales of
Partido and Vuelta Abajo factory
vegas. thus enabling him to keep
the fame of La Cimera and La Evi
dencia at its height.

M. Stachelberg & Co , New Yoik
and Tampa —Edgar J Stachelberg
did not waste any time, and during
the short space of eight days he
managed to pick up 1,100 bales of
Partidos and Vueltas, although this
is said to be only a temporary pur
chase, as engagements for further
stock are made and the latter will
be registered by him in the month
of October.

Leslie Pantin is booked to leave
New York on the 23d inst. for his
home in Havana, and doubtless will
arrive on the 27th, with many orders
to execute in the interest of his
friends.

Cano y Hno. again figured as the
largest sellers of the week, having
closed out the whole of their Semi
Vuelta packing in Palacios, amount
ing to about 2 000 bales.

Aixala & Co. — Don Jose reports
sales of 500 bales Partido, 200 bales
of old Remedios, and 100 bales of
new Remedios already, thus keep-
ing well in the van.

Sobrinos de Antero Gonzalez con
tinue to sell their fine Vuelta pack-
ings, disposing of 350 bales, as well
as 400 bales of old Remedios first
and second capaduras, for which
good figures were obtained.

Sanchez & Cueto followed with
600 bales Vuelta Abajo colas, and
they have other trades pending.

Jorge, P. Castaneda & Co. sold
550 bales of their fine Tumbadero
packings, and have orders for more
as soon as their escojidas can turn
them out.

Remigio Lopez & Co. also had a
good week in exchanging the hard
stuflf for 500 bales of their Partido
factory vegas.

Walter Himml was not slow in
accepting offers made to him for
300 bales of Semi Vuelta and 100
bales of old Remedios fillers, and ii
is said he is in treaty over larger
lots.

Manuel Menendez Parra is active-
ly purchasing goods for the Spanish
contractors, and will ship 2,000
bales of Remedios by the Alfonso
XIII., leaving Havana on the 20th
for Spain.

Sutter Hnos. — Joe Mendlesohn,
Dou Marco Pollack and J. Sutter
are actively scouring the market
and, having posted themselves
thoroughly, will be heard from
again with heavy purchases, no
doubt.

Leonard Friedman & Co bought
some extra fine Partido factory
vegas in the country, about 300
bales, and doubtless their friends
will be highly pleased with their
selection ol these goods.

S. L. Goldberg & Sors.— Don

a consequence, raising the price of
the balance of the crops. Aside
from this, much of the New Ki g-
land tobacco held by packers is
really sold, and is never offered on
the market. So we are justified in
saying that good prices are in store
for those who have good leaf to
offer. We hope and trust that un
less they have a secoi d rate crop
that they will not hastiiy make any
agreement to sell their crop at any
price they may be offered for it.
They should remember the lessons

eight acres for 24c recently, who

BALDWIN3VILLE, N. Y.
Among the sales recently reported

are 14 cases of 1901 by T. B. Pres-
ton to Albert Cahn, representing
Elias Bach & Son, and 9 cases of
1901 to John Baer of Lancaster, Pa.,
representing Joseph Lederman A
Sons. The price paid is reported
as 9 to xoYi cents. Mr. Preston
still has 13 cases of 1901 to sell.
There have been a few small ship-
ments made from the local ware-
houses and in the J . W. Upson ware-
house appraisers have been engaged
in appraising the tobacco on hand.
There are a number of good look-
ing growing crops in this vicinity
which will undoubtedly command
good prices, as the crop as a whole
is below the average, owing to the
unfavorable season. It is. however,
still too early to predict the out-
come as several weeks of warm
weather would make a big differ-
ence in the growing crop.

EDGERTON, WIS.
Thebuying of the new crop, which
was started in the Vernon county
district during the week, is now the
talk of the local markets. The in-
formition that reaches us is that a
few hundred acres have been con-
tracted for in the fields at prices
ranging from ID to I a cents. Buy-
ers have been riding quite exten-

sively in that section and while as
yet but few are interested in making
deals, many more are watching
future developments and if the
movement should reach much head-
way a general scramble for the
growing sections might ensue. The
more conservative buyers, however,
do not approve of early buying in
the fields.

The growing crop is showing a
great improvement, as it reaches
development as regards size of leaf,
and that portion which is yet to be
harvested promises to reach the
averageof other years. The heavy
work of securing the crop is now
on and growers are working long
hours every day. The absence of
much wilting weather may lead to
some damage if the farmers are not
careful about crowding while hang
ing in the sheds. A few complaints
from this source have already
reached us. The weather continues
cool and quite favorable for the
harvest, barring this exception.

The market for old leaf is un-
eventful and no transations of any
moment have come to the surface
What trading that comes to dealers
is in small lots to manufacturers.

Offerings on the breaks are small
and condition largely out of order,
yet the prices were active and de-
mand good. Sales continue to be
mostly private and sellers are now
sampling only as buyers indicate
the character and quality wanted
along with approximate prices they
will pay. Stock is largely of the
large leafy styles; very few Lugs
or Common Leaf remain on sale.
The local rains have done very
little good, as they are generally
light, not wetting the ground only
on top; a good soaking rain would
benefit the small part of the crop.
But a large part of the crop is al-
most ripe and some cutting already
done Large leafy tobacco will be

the small Lug offerings were ^c

sell, and have withdrawn their
stocks from the market

The crop prospects have only im
proved where the hhowers fell.

The moderate crop of this year
promises to yield even a smaller
percentage of Lugs than the 190 1
crop, which indicates that the home
demand will absorb them all at
higher prices than the foreign de
mands will pay, and exporters will
again use the much cheaper low
grade light tobaccos, and will partly
stock up on this present market,
without taking chances on the 1902.

Stemmers seem to have strong
views in spite of the large make of
Strips this year. An old stemmer
who is holding strongly "expresses
surprise that the British manufac-
turer does not try to buy now; the
time to buy is on a dull market, and
no duck pond was ever more stag-
nant than the present Strip mar-
kets; but a change will come."

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

Tobacco Vending Machine.
An inventor reported that he de-
sired to make ajnachine that would
sell one cent packages of tobacco if
the same could be sold in such
small packages, proposing to buy
the goods in original packages and
subsequently repack the tobacco in
small packages (not stamped) for
sale by vending machines. He was
advised that all smoking tobacco
must be put up by a qualified man
ufacturer in statutory packages con-
taining I, i2j, 2, 2M. 3. 3/^ 4 8
or 16 ounces, respectively, and in
no other manner, and that each
package must be properly stamped
by the manufacturer thereof before
removal from the factory, and that
such original packages must be
sold as an entirety and in the con
dition in which they were put up by
the manufacturer of the tobacco;
and. further, that no person has the
right to remove the contents of
statutory stamped packages for the
purpose of repacking the tobacco in
other packages, or in smaller quan-
tities than the original package, for
the purpose of placing the same on
sale by vending machines, or at re
tail in any other manner; therefore

all machines intended to be used in

I

connection with the sale of tobacco j
must be so constructed that the en
tire original package, as put up by
a manufacturer of tobacco, may be
sold and delivered directly from the
machine.

Use ol Coupons, Etc.
A tobacco manufacturer stated
that prior to the act of July 24,
1897, he placed within his packages
of tobacco certain prize tickets,
which were returned by consumers
and exchanged for pipes or other
articles of value, and asked whether
he could resume such methods of
advertising. He was advised that
the office had on the i8th of July
1902, prescribed Regulations, No
8. Supplement No. i revised, rela-
tive to the contents of statutory
packages of taxable tobacco pro-
ducts, and decided that manufac-
turers may place within packages
of tobacco small advertising cards,
coupons, certificates, circulars,
paper bauds, trade mark strips and
trade mark tin tags, which will not
materially increase the weight of
the contents or the size of the pack
age, and which are intended as an
advertisement of the business of the
manufacturer. Further, that section
2 of the act approved July i, 1902,
restrains the circulation and publi
cation of indecent and immoral
pictures, and all tickets, coupons or
certificates respecting a chance,
share or interest in, or dependent
upon the event of a lottery, and
prohibits the placing of such pro-
hibited articles in statutory pack-
ages. He was further advised that
the term "lottery" in a legal sense
will embrace any scheme which is
intended to result in the distribution
of prizes by lot, chance or drawing
ot any kind, and in which certain
tickets.coupons or certificates would
draw a prize, while the remaining
tickets would be blanks and of no
corresponding value; and therefore
all indecent and immoral pictures
and all cards, tickets, coupons or
certificates, representing or con
nected with a lottery scheme or gift
concert of any kind, must be ex
eluded from statutory packages of
tobacco.

Cigar Vending Machine.
An inventor recently submitted
for approval a cigar vending ma
chine and circular pasteboard box
to be used therein, the machine, a
rotary one, being provided with a;
glass front and open ends or sides,
and so constructed that the circular
pasteboard box may be officially in
spected after the same has been
placed in the machine, which will
deliver the cigars directly from the
box to the purchaser. The peri-
phery of the box is provided with
open spaces in which it is intended ;
to place either 2.5 or 50 cigars, pro
tecled by an outside pasteboard
jacket, and an internal revenue
stamp is intended to be affixed to
the box so as to securely seal the
box and prevent the cigars from
being removed therefrom without
breaking the stamp The required
caution notice label is to be printed

Edwin Sandys in order that they his admirable books upon colonial

might become wives in an Eveless
Eden; each was to be sold for about
her own weight in tobacco. In the
sense that marriage to a Virginia to-
bacco planter was a compulsory
part of the obligation assumed by
each fair passenger before leaving
London, the maidens were bond,
but yet, so wise was the very wise
Sir Edwin, individual choice was in
each case free.

Tradition has not preserved for
us any of the talk that passed be-
tween the girls on the long voyage
from England to Virginia. This we
may assume, however, that it was
all of the expectant men awaiting
the arrival of the ship at Jamestown;
of the looks of each, his stature, the
dress he wore, the acres over which
he was lord, and, lastly, of the
plant he grew upon those acres and
which he was on the point of ex-
changing for a wife. Each maiden
had her own ideal, of course, for
that has ever been the way of maid-
ens in matters matrimonial, and we
may be sure that blonde Mary or
dark- haired Susan dreamed of a
brunette Percy or a blonde Harold,
while these gentlemen on the shore,
as the day of the ship's probable
arrival drew nearer and nearer, had
their own dreams of the on coming
fair ones. It had been so long since
a youthful white woman had been
seen at Jamestown that perhaps the
girls were fairer in the visions that
the planters made of them than they
were in reality. Where is the man
awaiting his bride who does not
embellish her in his imagination
with every perfection of form and
feature? Good men, men, that is,
who make good husbands, cherish

Mr. Louis Hirsch.

Virginia, called attention to the
fact that tobacco and freedom have
usually gone together hand in hand.
The gentle weed emancipates the
mind. Upon clouds of tobacco
smoke the spirit mounts to dreams
of liberty. Not only does tobacco
calm the pulse; it stimulates the
brain, and even in the dullest mind,
visions find a home that else would
be strangers there. Since, as we
have seen, the maidens who came
over in the "Bonaventure" owed
their freedom to the tobacco which
secured husbands for them, is it any
wonder that in their children and
their children's children were found
those aspirations after freedom,
which in 1776, just 155 years after
that famous landing in America, re-
sulted in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and all that followed?

Is not our debt to tobacco over-
whelming? Not only do we owe to
it the millions which fill our cities,
our forests and our farms, but we
owe to it likewise, the spirit which
animates every bosom, throbs in
every pulse. Oh, Sir Edwin Sandys
knew how to bring money into his
sovereign's treasury, and the girls
he sent over knew how to be wives
and how to bring up children, too,

family, and thus it came to pass that a peace council of widely scattered

What to Do to Be Saved.

A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.

XVI.

In his speech at Providence. R.
I., on July 23, President Roosevelt
returned to the subject of the trusts
which he had previously treated in
his Fourth of July speech at Pitts
burg. At Providence, the President
said, in part:

"We are passing through a period
of great material prosperity, and
such a period is as sure as adversity
itself to bring mutterings of discon
tent. At times when most men
prosper somewhat it always happens
that a few men prosper greatly, and
it is as true now as it was when the
tower of Siloam fell upon all who
were under it that good fortune does
not come only to the just, nor bad
fortune only to the unjust. When
the weather is good for crops it is
also good for weeds. Moreover,
not only do the wicked flourish
when the times are such that most
men flourish, but, what is worse,
the spirit of envy and jealousy and
hatred springs up in the breasts of
those who, though they may be do
ing fairly well themselves, yet see
others who are no more deserving
doing far better.

"Wise laws and fearless and up
right administration of the laws can
give the opportunity for such pros
perity as that we see about us. But
this is all that they can do. When
the conditions have been created
which make prosperity possible,
then each individual man must
achieve it for himself by his own
thrift, intelligence, energy, industry
and resolute purpose.

"The corporations-and, therefore,
those great corporations containing
some tendency to monopoly which
we have grown to speak of rather
loosely as trusts — are the creatures
of the State, and the State not only
has the right to control them, but
it is in duty bound to control them
whenever the need for such control
is shown. There is clearly a need
of supervision — need to possess the
power of regulation on the part of
the representatives of the public
Whenever, as in our own country
at the present time, business corpor
ations become so very strong, both
for beneficent work and for work
that is not always beneficent, it is
idle to say that there is need for
such supervision. A sufficient war-
rant for it is to be found over and
over again in any one of the various
ills resulting from the present sys-
tem, or, rather, lack of system.
There is in our country a peculiar
difficulty in the way of exercising
such supervision andcontrol because
of the peculiar division of govern-
mental power.

"I believe that the nation must
assume this power of control by
legislation, and where if it becomes
evident that the Constitution will
not permit needed legislation, then
by Constitutional amendment. The
immediate need in dealing with
trusts is to place them under the
real, not nominal, control of some
sovereign to which, as its creature,
the trusts shall owe allegiance and
in whose courts the sovereign's
orders may with certainty be en-
forced. This is not the case with
the ordinary so-called trust to day,
for the trust is a large State corpor-
ation, generally doing business in
other States also, and often with a
tendency to monopoly.

"Such a trust is an artificial
creature not wholly responsible to
or controllable by any Legislature,
nor wholly subject to the jurisdic
tion of any one court . Some govern-
mental sovereign must be given full
power over these artificial, and very
powerful, corporate beings. In my
judgment, this sovereign must be
the national government. When it
has been given full power, then this
full power can be used to control
any evil influence, exactly as the
Government is now using the power
conferred upon it under the Sherman
Anti Trust law.

"Even when the full power has
been conferred it would be highly
undesirable to attempt too much or
to begin by stringent legislation.

October the BestCigar Month

MiNONK, 111., Aug. 22, 1902.

I)8AR Medicine Man :

Will you give me the following
information: What is the number
of cigars upon which the govern-
ment collected $3 per thousand tax

during the months of June and J^/yy'^e 1872 crop was the finest crop
1902? I would like to have th^* ' ^ ^

figures separat ly Also, what adte
considered the best months of fne
year, and how does December, fs a
rule compare with May, June and

July? E E s.

Answer.

In May, 1902, the Government
collected the $3 tax on 523 035.^07
cigars; in June, on 53 z, 207 305, and
in July, on 5o'>,47o 8co.

The best months of the year are
usually June, October and Novem-
ber The production for June has
just been given; that for October,
190 , was 547.554,245. and that for
November was 529,313 300 The
production in December, 1901, was
479 312 170 As a rule, this ratio
holds good from year to year, al
though sometimes July is a poorer
month than December.
The following table of the monthly
production for each of the years
named will make the matter still

more clear:

New York, Aug. 30, 1902.
Dear Medicine Man:

Are there preserved, I wonder,
in some private cigar vault in Eng-
land or Germany, any of the cigars
manufactured in Havana out of the
crop of 1872? I trust some one of
your readers in England or in Ger
many will be able to answer this
question in the afiirmative, and if
it is thus answered I counsel, nay,
I urge upon your American readers
the propriety of instantly purchas-
ing that stock at any price the
holders will take for it. I promise
to the prospective purchaser such
a treat in the way of a smoke as no
man in America has had for a
generation.

of tobacco ever raised in the Vuelta
Abajo; it was aromatic — it was di
vine The present generation of
buyers of Havana tobacco and Ha
vana cigars knows little, if any-
thing, of the tobacco grown in the
Vuelta Abajo prior to 1872, but we
older boys, whom business has taken
to Havana every year since 1868,
we have no trouble in recalling
those golden times, when Vuelta
Abajo tobacco was grown from
Vuelta seed; when the fitvor, the
texture and the shape of the leaf
grown on each plantation was sodts
tinct as to be recogrizable without
difficulty; when the finest of it was
literally worth its weight in gold,
and when the happy man who buc
ceeded in getting the vegas that
many competed for was first the
envy and then the center of an eager
throng of buyers, far more demon-
strative than rivals at a Sumatra
inscription at Amsterdam.

The crop of tobacco grown in the
Vuelta Abajo in 1872 was not only
the finest crop of tobacco ever pro
duced there, but it was the last of
the very fine crops. The cause of
the subsequent falling oflf of the
quality of the Vueltas was well un-
derstood twenty five years ago. The
Cuban tobacco growers of thirty
years ago produced in the Vuelta
Abajo region a wonderfully aromatic
leaf, whose one fault was that it
was apt to be tender. In the neigh
boring province of Havana, in the

so-called Partidos district, a much

sturdier leaf was grown. The

Partidos leaf was strong, virile, and

some farmers in the Vuelta Abajo,

anxious to produce a leaf that

should not be over-delicate, planted

their acres with Partidos seed. The

resultant crop was a success. The

new leaf was strong and healthy; it

cured out beautifully and was

abundant. Also, it sold well in

the market. The following year

more Partidos seed was used in the

Vuelta Abajo, and gradually this

hybrid displaced the genuine Vuelta

Abajo leaf entirely, so that since

1S85 it has been impossible to find

in Cuba, in the proper section, any

cigar leaf genuinely grown from

pure Vuelta Abajo seed.

It is not to be denied that

Havana cigars have been made

right straight along, both in Ha

vana and in the United States, out

of the latter- day Vueltas whose

origin I have explained. Never

theless, I reaffirm that the Vueltas of

the years prior to 1872 were vastly

more aromatic than any which have

been grown in the Pinar del Rio

since that time, and I trust that

some one will dig up, in some long

stored private collection in England

or Germany, some of the delectable

cigars I used to smoke thirty years

ago. s. M.

Comment.

It happens that the gentleman
who has favored me with the fore-
going very interesting communica-
tion is one of my valued personal
friends. In his green old age, which
is full of honors, he is in the enjoy
ment of vigorous health and a taste
which in the matter of cigars is as
discriminating as that of any con
noisseur of my large acquaintance
What he has said of the tobacco
grown in the Vuelta Abajo prior to
1872 is echoed by a number of other
gentlemen who have been just as
long connected with the trade, and
who, for just as many years as he,
have cultivated their taste only upon
the best cigars procurable. None
of these cognoscenti quarrels with
the best that Cuba sends us to-day.
They all agree that cigar manufac
turing in Cuba in 1902 is conducted
with thorough skill and directed by
the best of good taste. Their criti-
cism is not connected with the ci
gars, but with the leaf tobacco, of
Cuba. What they would like to see
is a return to the old practice of
growing Vuelta Abajo leaf from
Vuelta Abajo seed.

I beg to refer this matter to the

tobacco growers of Cuba.

A Suggestion to Cigar Label
Lithographers.

Boston, August 31, 190a
Dear Medicine Man:

A certain customer of mine who

is a great lover of other artistic
things besides the fine cigars he
buys of me, has the walls of his
ofl&ce hung with pictures of some of
the famous chateaus in France:
Chenonceaux, Blois, Plessis les
Tours, Luynes, Chambord, Chinon,
Chartres, and others of those archi-
tectural wonders which are the de-
light of travelers and the models for
one or two piles recently erected in
New York city and elsewhere by
wealthy Americans.

Any eye is able to perceive at a
glance how these real castles in
their stately grandeur outshine any
cattle in Spain which the mind of a
mer can picture forth. The

ner of these pictures tells me he
ever enjoys a smoke half so well
as when, with feet resting on his
desk, he is inspecting for the hun-
dredth time — or perhaps the thous-
andth— one of these photographs.
When he is in a serious mood he
looks at the picture of Plessis les
Tours in which grim old Louis XI.
spun his plots; when he is in a gayer
humor he lets his eye take in the
structural details of Chenonceaux,
and his fancy goes tripping the light
fantastic with the shade of that gay
lady who was once its chatelaine.l 1

My friend has the story of every
one of his castles at his fingers' ends.
He said something the other day
which I think is worth while re-
peating to you as a hint to cigar
label lithographers: He wants to
know why a picture, say of Che-
nonceaux, or Chinon, or Chartres, or
Chambord would not make a better
label for a cigar box than what he
called "the silly face of some tired
old actress or sich " Suitable names
to go with the pictures could be
found.

A picture of one of these marvel-
ous chateaux would have an educa-
tional value, it would be novel, and
surely nothing could be more wel-
come to smokers, who are the most
numerous builders of air castles in
the world. Retailer.

be exceptionally fine and if nothing
unforeseen happens before the close
of the harvest, there will be more
tobacco of first-class quality sent to
Amsterdam for sale, in the year
1902- '03, than at any time in the
last five years.

My information, also direct from
Sumatra, is almost directly the op-
posite of the foregoing.

If you can do so properly will
you have the very great kindness
to ascertain for me the source of the
news published by the New York
News Bureau? b. n.

The Answer.

Mr. James Rascovar, President t
and General Manager of the New
York News Bureau, on August 29,
exhibited to me the letter from his
correspondent at Deli in the island
of Sumatra, from which his Bureau
obtained its information.

The New York News Bureau is
a well-managed institution which
serves its constituency with intelli-
gent and disinterested zeal, and
which is of good repute in the fin-
ancial world of New York city.

Budget of Fresh News
from Cuba,

For the week ending August 23,
the market in Havana does not
keep up its former record, as the
total sales only foot up 4,500 bales,
which migdt be divided almost
evenly fnto one third of Vuelta
Abajo, one-third of Partido and one-
third of Remedios tobacco. This
does not include, however, country
sales, which might run up the total
to possibly 3,000 bales more, if they
were added to the above named 4,
500 bales As a part of them may
have to be resold in Havana, it is a
safer plan for the present not to
take them into consideration.

The causes that have led to a
diminished volume of transactions
are several, and possibly are only of
a temporary nature. One reason
given is, that the buyers still in
Cuba are very discriminating and
that they do a great deal of looking
without doing any actual quick
trading as heretofore Another
reason is, that the desirable quality
of wrapper vegas is getting less
plentiful, and that some of the arri-
vals from the country are still too
fresh and need more sweating in the
bales before purchasers care to take
hold of them. Furthermore, the
pending strike of the stevedores and
freight handlers on the docks, and
now the addition to same of the
cartmen, is crippling the trade seri
' ously not alone in the shipment of

goods but also in receiving them
from the steamers, sailing vessels
and railroad depots. As new to-
bacco has to be handled very care-
fully when still freshly packed, and
each bale has to be put singly by
itself for some days and may not be
piled up like old tobacco, the con-
sequences of their remaining piled
up in the holds of the steamers or
in the railroads sheds may prove a
very serious loss to the merchants of
Havana.

There is a bitter feeling among
the strikers and some blood has been
shed, still it is to be hoped that
some settlement may be arrived at
to concilate both parties, and thus
avoid further trouble and irreparable
damage to goods. A colored war
veteran, General Ducassi, who has
a carting business now, helped some
of the shippers by transporting their
goods to the steamer Mexico on
August 22, but the next day he gave
in to the strikers, and this left only
the carts of the Henry Clay and
Bock & Co., which under police
protection carried some goods to the
steamer's dock.

Prices for all classes of tobacco
remain very firm, at least when they
are desirable. Low grades, being
plentiful, do not share in it, and
could be picked up at relatively
lower figures this year than last
season .

Reports from the country do not
give many particulars that would
interest northern readers; therefore,
it suffices to say that in the Vuelta
Abajo buying is still going on to
some extent for Havana cigar fac-
tories, as well as for dealers, while
in the Partidos only the escojidas
are in full blast which have still to
finish their respective packings;
nothing remains in the farmers'
hands of this year's crop In the
various towns of the Vuelta Arriba
more life has been noticeable, and
the good serviceable part of the crop
is rapidly changing hands, and is
being forwarded to Havana. With
the exception of one northern buyer,
Max Stern, of Lewis Sylvester &
Son, New York, who, it is said, has
bought about 2,000 bales of new to-
bacco during a stay of two weeks in
Santa Clara and its surroundings,
no other purchasers are active, ex-
cept the almacenistas of Havana.

former visit to Havana. A. D.
Goldberg, of San Francisco, arrived
on the steamer Mexico on August
20. and after securing 200 bales of
fine Vuelta Absjoand Partidos fac-
tory vegas left again by the same
steamer for New York on the 23d.,
the weather in Havana proving too
uncomfortably hot, and for that
reason he will defer further pur-
chases until later in the fall. Wm.
Hooker, of Minneapolis, is also a
new arrival.

Departures.

M. Stern, Louis Wertheimer,

and Don Federico Berndes, the

Austrian Consul in Havana, were

passengers by the outgoing steamer

Mexico.

Cl^ar Factories.

Some complaint is heard that the
new Vuelta Abajo, and in a less
degree, some Partido, is too green
yet to be worked safely, so all fac-
tories that have not enough old to-
bacco on hand are seriously incon-
venienced. The large concerns like
H Upmann & Co., Henry Clay and
Bock & Co., the Havana Commer-
cial Co., La Flor de J. Suarez
Murias, La Flor de Partagas, Viuda
de Jose Gener y Batet, Ramon Al-
lones, Romeo y Julieta and the Sol
factory, are however, fully supplied
with old tobacco, and able to fill all
orders promptly.

Of northern cigar manufacturers,
Sam L Davis is taking his time in
trying to secure suitable goods for
tiis El Sidelo brand, and so far only
250 bales of high class Vueltas were
takt-n by him. Having the able
assistance oi Krnest Ellinger in go-
ing through I he Havana market,
undoubtedly larger purchases can
be announced ere long.

Arguelles, Lopez y Hermano, of
Tampa, have been quite heavy pur-
chasers of late, and bought 600
bales of the finest Vuelta and Part-
ido factory vegas.
Commission Merchants and Leaf Dealers.

Silveira & Co report having
bought and sold 800 bales, chiefly
Remedios tobacco, on commission
for customers.

Bridat Mont Ros & Co. likewise
traded in 300 bales for their friends

Sutter Bros — The hustlers of thi>*
company, Joe Mendlesohn and
Marco Pollack, accompanied by
Mr. Sutter, have something to show
for their trips to the country, as 300
bales of Partido and 300 bales of
Vuelta Abajo of the best growths
th's year, direct from the farmers
and packers, are the latest re«iu1t.
This house is only looking for A
No. I goods in every respect.

Leonard Freidman & Co. were
again fortunate in picking up an-
other fine Partido factory vega of
300 bales in the country.

S. L Goldberg e Hijossold to A.
D Goldberg, of San Francisco, 200
bales of their choice Vuelta Abajo
and Partido escojidas.

Cano y Hno sold only too bales,
and report that all of their Partido
packings having been sold, or at
least contracted for, they have only
their Vuelta Abajo packings left for
sale, and as these need more curing
in the bales they are prepared to do
less in the way of sales for a few
weeks to come at least

Jorge, P Castaneda 6^* Co. were
busy in selling 400 bales of their
fine Tumbadero packings to Hav-
ana factories. All of their output
in San Antonio de los Banos is
bound to find immediate purchasers,
as so far they have sold as quickly
as the tobacco arrived from the
country.

Sobrinos de Antero Gonzalez dis-
posed of 550 bales of Vuelta Abajo
and Remedios to various manufac-
turers and dealers

Aixala & Co. also were sellers to
the extent of 400 bales of Partido,
Vuelta Abajo and Remedios to
dealers and one northern manufac-
turer.

Sanchez y Cueto had no trouble
in finding purchasers for 200 bales
of Vuelta Abajo.

Garcia & Co. did not complain
about dullness, as 600 bales of
Vuelta Abajo and Partido is work
enough to satisfy Don Manuel.

Bruno Diaz & Co. again had a
steady call for 400 bales of Vuelta
Abajo and Partido factory vegas

Manuel Menendez Parra remains
in the market for the Spanish con-
tract, and quietly but steadily ab
sorbs regular quantities each week
to fill his orders.

Muniz y Gonzalez report that
they gave away 400 bales of their
excellent first capaduras of Reme-
dios, but as the purchaser may have
a different tale to tell, it is but fair
to presume that prices were satisfac-
tory to both.

Jose Menendez is pegging away
at his escojidas and also consign-
ments of new Remedios tobacco, al-
though his sales only amounted to
about 100 bales.

Sidney Rothschild is expecting
his uncle, Don Sigmund Roths-
child, every week, and in the mean-
time he is quietly spotting the best
tobacco in the market

Philadelphia's Budget of Locals.

Labor Day Generally Observed.

Labor Day was generally observed
in this city on Monday last. Nearly
every prominent business house,
particularly in the wholesale line,
having been closed for the day.
The retail cigar trade in the down
town sections all enjoyed a very
good trade. The industrial parades
drew large crowds on Broad street
and intersecting streets in the down
town section which naturally
brought considerable transient trade
for the cigar ists in those sections.

United Cigar Stores Co.

The premises of the United Cigar
Stores Co. at 820 Chestnut street is
being transformed as rapidly as
possible and is to be open to business
in a very short time. They are also
said to have secured additional
•tores in the vicinity of Tenth and
Chestnut streets and Thirteenth and
Market streets, but the proprietor
of these establishments will not con-
firm the report Options, however,
have been secured on other estab
lishments and it is said upon good
authority that good locations are
being looked for in several sections
of the city through a real estate
broker here. It is also said that a
cut pricebusiness is to be conducted.
Philadelphia in the cigar line is the
greatest consuming city of home
products in the worln. In view of
this fact there is much conjecture as
to the methods that may be em-
ployed by the newcomers as regards
the selling prices of the products of
our local manufacturers, and our
more prominent dealers, who have
been interviewed this week, declare
that the plan is impractical in this
city and that our local manufac-
turers would be sure to protect their
former customers. It can no longer
be denied, however, that the advent
of the United Cigar Stores Co. in
this city has brought a consterna-
tion upon quite a number of our
local dealers and that the trade will
be demoralized for at least a time
until things have become adjusted
to the newer conditions there is no
reason to doubt. The United Cigar
Stores Co. it is said propose to
handle any and all the products for
which there is a demand.

ative of the Match-It cheroots, has
returned to his native quarters in
this city after a business and pleasure
trip through eastern Pennsylvania
and New York State. He had a
highly enjoyable time and also did
a nice business for his house. He
reports this week that since his re-
turn to this city the sale of the
Match It cheroots to the jobbers has
increased considerable as compared
with the several previous weeks
«%%%«%«««>
Chas. A. Krull's Increased
Facilities.

Notwithstanding the dullness
which has been experienced in this
city for the past week Chas. A.
Krull, at 1924 Oxford street, re-
cently extended his jobbing depart-
ment by adding considerable addi-
tional space, in fact almost doubling
his former capacity. Mr. Krull also
recently added an additional de-
livery team and is doing a more ex-
tensive business than ever.

Trade in Richmond. '

Ch. Brander, 977 Frankford ave-
nue, reports an excellent volume of
jobbing trade as compared with
previous years. His stand is an old
established one which has been
nicely extended since Mr. Brander
became the proprietor a little more
than a year ago.

John Allen, of John Allen &
Sons, 2956 Richmond street, who
is one of the pioneer members of the
tobacco trade in this city, and who
has been for many years at the
above place, reports a quiet condi-
tion of affairs in his section of the
city. I

Dempsey on a Trip.

E. R. Dempsey, of Dempsey &
Koch, is spending a well-earned
vacation at Atlantic City, having
just gotten the new factory in work-
ing order which afforded him about
the only opportunity of taking a few
days off.

Fellhelmer Store Robbed.

The cigar store of S. Fellheimer
& Co., at 70 North Fourth street,
was broken into some time on Sun-
day morning, but the robbers se
cured little booty, only a very small
amount of cash and about $20 worth
of cigars were carried away.

Sumatra Smugglers at
Work.

So Bold They Are Actually Hurting
Business In New York.

Complaint of the boldness of Su-
matra smugglers is becoming fre-
quent in New York. It is said to
be almost impossible to sell duty
paid Sumatra to certain well posted
small manufacturers on the East
side, for these people can get all the
Sumatra they need in certain South
street saloons, or in the stores of
certain small leaf dealers in their
own section of the city, at from $i
to $1 50 a pound less than they
would have to pay the legitimate
importers. The dealers in sumg
gled Sumatra have such large sup
plies on hand that they occasionally
fill orders for as much as 200 pounds
at a time, and to fill a 50 pound
order is an every day occurrence.

It is thought the great source of
the illegitimate supply is the Red
Star line of steamers, plying be
tween New York and Antwerp.
Antwerp is but two hours ride from
Rotterdam and in Rotterdam and
Amsterdam plenty of serviceable
Sumatra is to be had at about one
gulden, 40 cents, per pound. This
same tobacco fetches from $1.50 to
$2 a pound on the East side in New
York Like Sumatra, duty paid,
cannot be bought in the New York
leaf market under from $2.75 to $3
per pound.

Importers who are complaining

' of the boldness of the Sumatra
smugglers allege that the ba«gage
j and other effects of incoming pas
sengers on Red Star steamers are
I not searched with sufficient close-
' ness by customs inspectors.

Occasionally one reads of the ar-
rest of a sailor or stoker on ocean
steamers who are caught in the at-
tempt to land smuggled Sumatra,
but no really important capture has
been made in New York for a long
time.

There was a time, several years
ago, when Sumatra tobacco in con-
siderable quantities was smuggled
Unto the United States from Canada,
I in trunks, at Rouss's Point, New
York, and at points in Vermont on
the Canadian border, but this
practice was promptly broken up
and has not been resorted to by
smugglers of late years.

The Red Star line matter is far
more serious and should receive the
prompt and unceasing attention of
U. S. Treasury Sleuths.

The Blake Tobacco Company,
of Altoona, Pa., has been incorpor-
ated with a capital of $250,000
The officers are: President and

New Cigarette Paper,

Rofia, raffia, or raphia fibre, one
of the vegetable products peculiar
to Madagascar, is now being used
for cigarette paper, and samples
have been placed in the Commercial
Museum at Tamanarivo. William
H. Hunt, United States Consul at
Tamatave, says in regard to them:
"The paper presents the qualities
of decided suppleness and strength,
and, as the fibre from the start is
tasteless, inodorous, and exceed-
ingly clean, it certainly recommends
itself to the most fastidious . ' ' The
Consul also points out that this
fibre can be used for other purposes,
and that therefore it will be well
worth while for manufacturers to \
experiment with it.

Handsomest of Showcases,
The Waldorf Astoria Segar Co.
has installed in its branch store at
68 William street. New York, a
showcase which has so delighted
the heart of Manager L- M. Lehman
that he has ordered another one
just like it for another one of his
company's stores.

The show case was built by the
Metropolitan Store Fixtures Co., of
312 314 Bowery, New York. It has
a base of seasoned oak upon each
panel of which is carved the well-
known oaken crown, its center oc-

cupied by the famous W-A mono-
gram which fastidious smokers all
over the United States know so
well.

The top of the showcase is in
sections of heavy plate glass slides.
In the center of the showcase is a
Stanley & Patterson cigar-cutter and
lighter. At the end toward William
street is a compartment for Turkish
and other cigarettes, and at the
other end is a similar compartment,
zinc lined, and fitted with moisteners,
for holding smoking tobaccos. The
showcase holds 2,200 cigars in
boxes.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION iViACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar makit'.g. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS

Peddling Cigars.
A cigar dealer complained that
certain hucksters and peddlers in
his town and county were selling
cigars and tobacco from broken
packages, and to the detriment of
the trade. The attention of the
collector was directed to these
charges, and he was advised that
all hucksters and other persons who
travel from place to place selling
cigars or tobacco, must be regarded
as peddlers and give bond in the
penal sum of $500.

Plug Tobacco Package.
In passing upon a sample wooden
box containing 120 small pieces of
plug tobacco (aggregating a statu-
tory quantity) each enclosed in a tin
foil wrapper bearing the trade mark
name of the tobacco, the box hav-
ing affixed thereto a plug tobacco
stamp in a groove three- eighths of
an inch deep made for it in the lid
and on one end of the box, the Com-
missioner approved the use of the
package, when properly labeled,
marked and stamped before removal
from the factory. The manufac-
turers were cautioned however that
it was also required that the firm
name, the place of manufacture,
the registered factory number, and
the gross weight, the tare and the
net weight be printed or marked on
the package.

Rebate Claims.
A collector who inquired whether
he should accept certain claims
where the witnesses to the inven-
tory were in the employ of the
claimant or were related to him. or
had themselves presented a claim
or claims for rebate of taxes under
ihe act approved April 12. 1902,
where it was shown that such wit
nesses were of good repute and
their services procured in ignorance
of the regulations, was advised that
in all cases in which it was dis-
covered that the witnesses were in
the employ of the claimant, or re-
lated to him, or had themselves
made claims for rebate, such claims
would be accepted and certified to
the ofiice for allowance in the ^egu
lar course and the regulations
waived, provided the collector was
satisfied that there was no collu
sion on the part of the claimant and
his witnesses to defraud the Govern-
ment.

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap

pers. It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana^
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine oflFered.

This art bas relief of a Sioux

striking novelties lately seen It is
claimed by the manufacturers that
its beauty can be greatly enhanced
if lighted from a side light, or a
light almost parallel with the plane
of its surface

The Sternberg Manufacturing
Company frequently put out some
exclusive and uniquely attrnctive
advertising matter, but it is con

that direction is as yet their best It
is really a work of art. and is sure
to be appreciated by every recipient
The company's advertisement is

Bob Lane's Clam Bake.*

Robert E. Lane, the well-known
proprietor of a chain of cigar stores
in New York city, spent Saturday,
Sunday and Monday last with his
family at Milan in the Catskills.
Besides a wagon load of toys for his
children, Mr. Lane took with him
about sixty bushels of clams and a
corresponding quantity of other
eatables and drinkables for the clam
bake with which he and his friends
celebrated Labor Day at Milan.

Mr. Lane denies that he has sold
out to the United Cigar Stores
Company, and so does George
Whelan, President of that corpor-
ation.

"Finest Store in the World"

The large store at the southwest
corner of Broadway and 26th street.
New York, which is now in the
hands of marble setters, cabinet
makers and decorators, will throw
open its doors to the public, it is
announced, in October. This is the
store which the lessees have taken
for ten years at an annual rental of
$25 000. The store will be con-
ducted as a retail cigar store by the
Havana American Company. Signs
in the windows announce that this
will be the "finest store in the
world and will sell the world's best ,
'cigars."

Trade in Reading.

The cigar trust, which is buying
up cigar stores with a view of con-
trolling the business, has not yet
reached Reading. Since the Ameri-
can Cigar Company failed to make
a hit here the trade has been both-
ered very little with agents of the
trust, but on the other hand the
trade is fully prepared to meet the
magnates' representatives. The
general opinion here seems that
Reading is too small for them to
tackle for the present at least.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Slee, of
Trenton, N. J., are the guests of
John G. Spatz, of this city, Mr.
Slee is one of the leading cigar job-
bers and tobacconists in New Jer-
sey, and sells a large slice of Mr.
Spatz's product in that district.

Cigar manufacturer Edward
Ganter leaves on Thursday on .an
extensive business trip to points in
Texas in the interest of his new 10-

Charles W. Potteiger, proprietor
of the cigar store at Sixth and
Washington streets, has placed a
fine electric piano in his place of
business for the amusement of his
patrons.

Goldsmith & Keller filed a bond
with Collector Cranston, for a new
cigar factory which they will oper-
ate at 749 Penn street. The firm
propose manufacturing high grade
hand made cigars. Their bond was
approved by Mr. Cranston, and
operations have already been begun.

James P. Stanton is quite busy
at present and enjoys a large trade
on his new brands the Golden Web
and Stanton's Best. He recently
returned from a business trip
through the western part of the
state.

J. L. & M. F. Greene, leaf to-

Charles Breneiser, Sr., the veteran
tobacconist of this city, has pre-
sented the Lutheran Orphans' Home
at Topton, with a reservoir. The
latter was a necessity and was built
by the trustees of the home when
Mr. Breneiser made the pleasant
announcement that he would foot

for the short crop, and the exceed-
ingly fine weather succeeding gave
abundant nourishment to the plants
of those who wre fortunate enough
to have replanted.

A destructive fire to the com-
munity, and unfortunate to the to
bacco industry, occurred in York
on Thursday morning at 4 o'clock,
when the Palace of Amusement and
buildings in the vicinity weretotally
destroyed, with their contents. The
large brick building to the rear on
Market street was occupied by I
B. Hostetter, as a packing and
storage warehouse for his own and
a large quantity of fine broad leaf
B's, the property of Sutter Bros.,
of New York. All the tobacco
consisting of several hundred cases,
valued at $15,000, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire, water and smoke,
but it was fully insured.

The fire is said to have been of
incendiary origin, and started in
the plant of the Winget Machine
Company, causing a loss of $15 000,

Latest News from Yoric, Pa.

Some of the farmers are cutting
their tobacco. It appears that while
the crop is not as prolific as in

last week, on account of some al-
leged unfair treatment.

B C. Flinchbaugh, who con

New York Leaf Market.

Business in the New York leaf
market, of late, has been remarka-
bly good. The market has been
crowded with big out of town
buyers, most of whom invested
largely in the new domestic crops.

And yet it is a fact that the
"knocker" has been at work in the
market. The "knocker" is un-
popular always, and he usually finds
something to do. The "knocker's"
aim seems to be to spoil business
for other folks. In the New York
leaf market last week the "knocker"
took pains to give "a black eye"
to certain types of the new domestic
cigar leaf. He was careful to de-
preciate the quality of those tobaccos
with which he himself was not
stocked up. For instance, one of
the "knockers" was very loud-
mouthed in depreciating the new
Connecticut. He alleged that there
was no good leaf at all in the new
Connecticut, and he unquestionally
did spoil the sale of some of this
crop, for two or three of the west-
ern jobbers who listened to him
left New York without buying.

There is undoubtedly some poor
leaf in the new Connecticut. On
the other hand, there is also a good
deal that is very fine. This is the
case with every crop of tobaccco
that has ever been raised anywhere.
The misfortune is that the "knock-
ers" last week succeeded in pre-
venting a thorough inspection of
the new Connecticut now in the
hands of certain careful packers
who are conscious that their hold-
ings are in every way desirable.
When the jobbers who went home
come to realize this fact, they will
probably return to New York and
invest.

The market in Sumatra and Ha-
vana has been comparatively quiet.

Rough on Royalty,

BY THE RBCKLESS RHYMESTER.

Hohenzollern, Hapsburg, Roman-

oflf,
Stuart, Wittelsbach, Bourbon —
iNames that history knows full

well —
You've imposed your will upon
Europe now for many a year.
You have filled her places high
With your soldiers, statesmen,

rogues;
And the day is surely nigh
When you'll be but memories;
When your sceptres and ermine.
When your vanities and crowns
Will be sifted down so fine
That a crematory vase
On some future museum's shelf
Shall sufl&ce to indicate
Which was Gibbeline, which

Guelph.
Or, perhaps, imperial dust
Mingling with the common soil
Will in open highwajs be
Trodden by the feet of toil;
And that pure patrician blood
Now so greatly prized by you
Will its blue distinction lose
In the course of filtering through
Earth and mold and clammy damp
Which exudes from vaults of stone
Where dead grandeur rots away
In its stateliness alone
In my frenzy, I'll admit
That I may be losing sight
Of a most important fact.
If so, I'll set myself aright.
It may be that the dust of kings
Has a value all its own
To great Nature in her work
(To such vagaries she's prone )
It may be, and who shall say
That it is a theory new.
That some special virtue lurks
In the famous "sangre bleu"
Of your royal veins and that
Nature has a working plan
That will change your buried selves
Into something good for man?

My hypothesis I'll prove
By a well known case in point —
TOBACCO in its primal home
Must havesprung from kingsanoint
Incas' dust, and that great line
Montezuma sprang from, made
The first soil in which it grew.
Where the royal bones were laid
The plant divine first oped its leaves
To the hot meridian sun
Montezuma's hour is past
And the Incas' race is run.
In their day, I have no doubt
That they did quite well enough;
I'm content to sample them
In cigars, or pipes, or snuflf.
And I'd say to modern kings
Who would have like virtue lie
In their anointed blood and bones,
"Please, just hurry up and die!"

The Morgan Marshall Case,

The hearing before U. S. Com
missioner Shields in the case of
Morgan Marshall, a well known
retail cigar dealer at Broadway and
Cnambets street. New York, who
was arrested on August 14 by Frank
G Thompson, Revenue Agent iu
charge of the second New York
district on the charge of violating
certain sections of the US statutes
against the refilling of cigar boxes
which was set down for August 28
was postponed to September 18
upon the request of Marshall's conn
sel who was called out ot the city.

Following is the affidavit of Rev
enue Agent Thompson upon which
Mr. Marshall is held :

Frank G Thompson, Revenue
Agent, being duly sworn, says that
at and in said District on the 14th
day of August, 1902, said Morgan
Marshall unlawfully and wilfully
sold one hundred cigars not properly
boxed and stamped; that is to say.
one hundred cigars which then and
there were not packed in a box or
boxes previously unused for tliat
purpose, and were not stamped
with a stamp or stamps denoting
the internal revenue tax on said ci
gars (3397. 3392. i^t Supp. 241.
864); and did fcloneously, unlaw-
fully, knowningly and wilfully have
in his possession certain cigars, viz
200 cigars on which the tax to
which they were then and there
liable had not been paid, as required
by law; he, the said Morgan Mar-
shall, then and there well knowing
the said tax hai not been paid as
aforesaid , (Sec. 3397 Second clause)
and did unlawfully and feloneously
use for packing cigars a certain box
which theretofore had contained ci
gars and had been emptied of said
cigars, and then and there bore in-
ternal revenue stamp for denoting
the tax on said cigars, of which
the said box had b en so emptied
(3406. 2d clause) And did unlaw
fully and feloneously have in his
possession ten cigar boxes which
had theretofore contained cigars and
had been emptied of said cigars
and then and there bore an internal
revenue stamp fi>r denoting the tax
on said cigars, of which said box
had been so emptied and did fail to
destroy utterly the stamps thereon;
against the peace of the United
States and their dignity, and con
trarv to the form of the statute of
the United States in such case made
and provided

NOW IS A
GOOD TIME

There is no time like now.

The past is gone and cannot be recalled.

To-morrow never comes and the people who put
things off waiting for to-morrow are the unsuccessful
in business and in everything else.

Now is the very best time in the world for you
to consider seriously and favorably the question of in-
stalling the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

Every day you put this off is a day when you
did not make as much money

as you might.

You are in business to
make money and anything
which will help you make
money naturally possesses the
keenest possible interest for
you.

We are not guessing about
the DuBrul Dieless Table.

We commenced to make
Suction Tables about five
years ago and while we
have always made what has
been considered the best table
on the market, it was far
from satisfying us.

The new table, the DuBrul
Dieless Suction Table, does
satisfy us and that is about
the highest praise that we
can bestow upon it.

We were never contented
with the dies and rollers of
the table of other constructions. We knew that they
were in the way, hard to keep in order, expensive,
and that they did not do really satisfactory work.
The work they did was good, comparatively speaking,
but the dies were constantly getting dull— that could
not be prevented — and the resulting white streak on
the edge of the wrapper certainly made a bad looking
job, so bad that a clear Havana can't be well made
with dies.

S^^..

We were bound to get rid of all this and we
have.

The Dieless Table, while more simple in construc-
tion than any other suction table, has no dies or
rollers and cuts the wrapper with a circular knife,
which can very easily be kept sharp, so sharp as to
give the best sort of an edge to the wrapper, and never
tear a wrapper in the cutting.

Think of every possible objection to the Suction

Table and take our word for
the fact that these objections
have all been removed.

We not only have a per-
fect table from every point
of view, but we have one
which, by reason of its
simplicity and ease with -'
which it may be manipu-
lated, is gladly welcomed
by the operator instead of
being frowned upon. This is
a good point in holding your
labor.

It enables operators with
very little experience to do
better work than skilled oper-
ators can do, hampered by
a table with such make-
shift mechanism as dies and
rollers.

All these things are set
forth and explained in de-
tail in a little book which
we have just issued and this book is yours for the
asking.

Ask for Booklet W. S.

It seems to us that every cigar manufacturer ought
to be interested enough in a proposition of this kind
to find out all about it, and if he persists in a Die >
Table proposition we can show him the best of that
kind to be seen at our offices side by side with the
Dieless Table.

Huirantecd to be the Strongest, fhea pest, and Best

method, and ofter results in shed
burnt tobacco. If there appears to
be much highly humid weather the
better way, particularly if the to-
bacco is long, is to put not more
than five stalks at the most on a
lath, leaving it in the field to wither
before stringing, so that it may then
be put into the tobacco barn at once,
and in this way it is not exposed to
the sun and weather unnecessarily.
In the tobacco barn the laths should
be placed far enough apart so that
in case of humid weather it would
have no chance to burn.

In years gone by shed burnt to-
bacco was not heard of, for at that
time tobacco barns had plenty of
ventilation, and in addition they had
an earthen floor where the natural
dampness would aid the tobacco.
It had plenty of air passing around,
but to day it appears to be quite
the reverse. The sheds are closed,
with now and then a board fastened
to hinges permitting the air to strike
only certain parts of the stalk when
ventilation is given, and a floor un-
derneath with a few trap doors to
open, and when they are opened
the foul air that comes from the
cellar of the shed underneath con-
taminates the leaves, causing moldy
tips, or curly tips, or some other
damage. In the old method of
housing and curing such conditions
of tobacco as are known at the
present day were not known. For
instance, cold sweat, white vein,
etc., which it is claimed is brought
on by the present method of hand
ling and preparing tobacco for the
market.

In former years the tobacco was
never removed from the tobacco
sheds until January or until the
stalks had been frozen to a brown
color, after which, when there came
a spell of damp weather, it damp
eued the tobacco just enough to
permit its removal without injury.
No sap remained in the stalk, thus
there could be no sap returned to
the stem of the leaf, which fact also
prevented the stem of the leaf from
becoming fatty. Nowadays, how-
ever, tobacco is removed during the
month of November, or as soon as
the leaf is cured. The stalks are
quite green yet, and then when
moist weather overtakes the tobacco
there is still some sap in the stalk
which returns to the heavy part of
the stem of the leaf, thus making
the stem of the leaf heavy and soft.
Should there be no damp weather
the tobacco is carefully removed
from the poles and hung in the
cellar, where there is every chance
for it to draw again to itself all the
foul air and dampness which the
present day cellars possess, and
since there is not sufficiently fresh
air leading into the cellar the to
bacco can scarcely become damp
to any great extent. In fact, I have
seen in my time as high as twenty

barrels of water poured into a cellar
to make it damp enough to hang
tobacco therein, and the tobacco
was left to hang there until damp
enough to be stripped, which takes
from two to three weeks. After it
has become damp enough from
these impurities it is removed to the
stripping room.

How diflferent from the old way,
which I contend is still the proper
way, for when each stalk was hung
by itself with a wooden peg about H
eight inches long on heavy laths,
and kept from drying too fast, after
it was removed for stripping the
pegs were drawn out and the tobacco
covered with cornfodder which kept
it from drying out and then strip-
ping was started. If, perchance, it
was too cold to strip it in the to-
bacco shed the tobacco was removed
to the barn and bulked in some dry
place in the barn cellar. At the
present time it is taken from the
damp cellar into a warm stripping
room, and even after it Is dried out
the least bit there appears to be at
at all times a sprayer with warm
water at hand to spray the tobacco
and then bulk it. In a cellar where
there is already an unnatural damp-
ness it soon brings the tobacco into
a heat which can scarcely fail to
make it soft and unmerchantable.

The buyer then comes along to
make his purchases, and finding it
in such a condition will not pay as
much for it as if it was in a good
state of preservation.

Naturally enough the farmer, who
perhaps devoted the greater part of
the year to his crop, suflFers a loss.
Sometimes the merchant buys it on
the poles, which is a hazardous
practice, as it is impossible to tell
what he is getting, and then when
received at the proper time trouble
at the tobacco warehouses frequent-
ly follows.

Tobacco that has been treated to
too much water is most susceptable
to damage after being placed in
cases. It is, therefore, easy to ^
imagine the suspense which a ^r
packer is under until the sweating
shall have been successfully passed
through. In packing, the more to-
bacco is handled the better it is, as
the dampness will in many cases
leave it more or less, and it is a
dangerous practice to pack in too
moist a condition, although it must
have just sufficient moisture to pro-
duce a certain amount of heat.

It has been observed that the
trials of a tobacco grower are mani-
fold, but I contend that it is often-
times unnecessary. The culture of
tobacco should be conducted in a
nice and neat manner, and experi-
ence has convinced me that when
such processes are conscientiously
carried out success is sure to follow.

in those glorious days so many,
many weary years before, was glow-

of the dying abbess.

Perhaps the story is new to you,
or perhaps it needs to be told again
to bring it back to your recollection.

The words and the divine music
to which Beethoven wedded them
are world famous, for who has not
heard, once in his lifetime at least,
some great artist sing "Adelaide"?

The words were written by Fried
rich Matthisson, and they were in-
spired by Adelaide von Glafey. That
was in 1796. Matthisson was the
son of a poor pastor; the lady of his
adoration was the daughter of one
of the proudest noblemen in Ger
many, and aristocrat to her fingers'
tips. The poem is one of the finest
ever written to a woman, and would
be immortal even without Beeth
oven's music. They moved the
Lady Adelaide, but they could not
move her father. He was inexorable.

"For you, my daughter," hesaid,
'.'there is but one alternative to
marriage with one of your own
rank — the convent. ' '

Mr William Vigelius.

he read; he smoked when he wrote;

he went to bed with his pipestem

between his teeth, and the first thing

he did in the morning was to call

for a light so that he might lose no

time. He even smoked when he

talked soft nothings, or softer every-

things, to the Lady Adelaide. And

it was of this valiant smoker that

the aged abbess of Mossy Mead was

babbling as she lay dying in her

bed in the convent cell. And it was
of his pipe that her faltering words
spoke. She saw again the poet in
his threadbare coat, but she recalled
no word of all those he had poured
into her ear; she heard his sigh^,
but they told her nothing of his
passion, for they were concerned
solely with his pipe which appearefl
to be clogged. Of the beautiful or
the sublime scenery in that far off
Switzerland whither his letters had
tollowed her prior to his final rejec-
tion, she saw nothing, but she df-
scribed with pains taking care the
trumpery little chrorao on the bowl
of his pipe, and her last words were
these:

"That tobacco smelled so sweet.
Why is it no one has smoked in mj
presence these sixty years pasi?"

And so saying she breathed her

A Discussion of Present Day Con>
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.

XVII.

A letter denouncing the business
methods of the United Cigar Stores
Company, and apparently written
in great excitement, has been re-
ceived by The Tobacco World The
writer calls the business methods
of the corporation named, "not
competition but murder. ' ' He says
the United Cigar Stores Company
is doing "dirty work for the trust,"
but he offers no proofs of this last
statement Employing the lan-
guage of Shylock, "he takes my
life who takes the means whereby
I live," The Tobacco World's cor
respondent says that the lowering
of the retail price of established
brands of cigars by the United Ci-
gar Stores Company, inevitably
kills every such brand. He says
that to sell a ten cent brand for six
cents or a five cent brand for three
cents tends to create the impres-
sion that these cigars are worth not
ten cents or five cent, but only six
cents or three cents.

A representative of The Tobacco
World called at the headquarters
of the United Cigar Stores Com-
pany, 134 West Fourteenth street,
New York city, last week, for the
purpose of interviewing some one
of the officers of that corporation
on the subjects broached in the let
ter to which the reader's attention
has just been called. Unfortun-
ately President George Whelan was
out of town and General Manager
Averitt was on the very point of
leaving his oflfice on a pressing mat-
ter of important business. The

United Cigar Stores Company sub-
scribes for The Tobacco World and
this article will probably come un-
der Mr. Whdan's eye. If, there-
upon, Mr. Whelan has anything to
say The Tobacco World will be
pleased to hear from him.

In the meantime it is perfectly
competent for us to consider the
statements in relation to the methods
of the United Cigar Stores Company
of The Tobacco World's corres-
pondent

"Not competition, but mur-
der." Is a cigar entitled to any
more tenderness at the hands of the
man who buys it for the purpose of
selling it again, than any other
article of merchandise whose price
is cut in the retail market? The
United Cigar Stores Company has
been in business now only a little
longer than one year. For a num-
ber of years prior to its advent in
the field, certain large department
stores in New York city and else-
where were in the habit of offering
cigars at cut prices, and this method
of doing business is still followed
by them. In some instances the
department stores undersell the
United Cigar Stores Company.
Hence, if this kind of competition
is murder the hands of the depart-
ment stores managers are stained a
deeper dye than are those of Mr.
Whelan and his associates. By the
way, Mr. Whelan is credited with
having said on one occasion, that
a uniform profit of 10 per cent,
would sufl&ce for him; that his
stockholders would be content with
4 per cent, and that the remaining
6 per cent, would cover all expenses
and leave a sufficient margin besides

Is it true that to lower the price
of an established brand is a certain
sure way to kill it? Perhaps it is
yet too early to tell. That cigar
must be very weak in the knees,
indeed, which can be killed in little
over a year. This much we know,
however, namely that the cut price
methods of the department stores
have never yet resulted in the ex
tinction of a brand. The theory of
those who take the same view of
this interesting, matter that is taken
by The Tobacco World's corres-
pondent appears to be that the first
effect of price cutting is to create
in the mind of the consuming public
a mistrust of the integrity of the
manufacturers. The public is sup-
posed to infer, because the price of
a ten cent cigar is cut to six cents,
that the manufacturer is no longer
putting as good tobacco in his cigar
as formerly. But this sort of logic

is not so very formidable after all
for all cigar manufacturers know
that the dear public is fickle any-
how. And besides the United Cigar
Stores Company is not the only
retailer in the United States. There
are many scores of thousands of
others who maintain and will con-
tinue to maintain the old schedules.
Finally, in order to convict the
manufacturer of the guilt of defraud-
ing the public, it would be neces-
sary to prove that he was conniv-
ing with the price cutter.

' • Dirty work for the trust . " We
will dismiss this quotation from The
Tobacco World's correspondent's
letter with repeating that the writer
of the letter herein discussed, oflFers
no proof either that the "trust" is
guilty of "dirty work" or that the
United States Cigar Stores Company
is a party to the same.

"He takes my life who takes the
means whereby I live." This,
quotation would be seen in print
oftener than it is, had Shakespeare
put it into the mouth of any other
than that of the unpopular Shylock,
for it is a very strong statement and
one which the memory very easily
retains. So far as The Tobacco
World is aware, and it speaks from
a very long, a very thorough, and
a very wide acquaintance with men
and conditions in the cigar and leaf
trades, the paths of the great cor-
porations which since 1890 have
been engaged in the manufacture
and sale of tobacco products of all
kinds are not strewn with skeletons.
On the contrary, the immense
amount of advertising done by the
corporations appears to result in an
ever increasing general activity.
Profits in many cases have un-
doubtedly been cut, but where is
the merchant who will not consent,
to pocket smaller profits on the sole
condition of doing a larger business?

This is 1902, not 1882. Condi-
tions have changed but human
nature is the same as it always was.
Competition is said to be keener
now than it was twenty years ago,
but it is well to remember that those
who oltenest make this statement,
and who most frequently deplore
the existence of great corporations
in the tobacco trade are themselves
twenty years older in 1902 than
they were in 1882.

Record Price for Tobacco.

Price for tobacco scored a new
high record on the Cincinnati to-
bacco market on September 3. A
hogshead of bright cigarette wrapper
was sold at $49 a hundred pounds
at the Farmers' and Shippers' ware-
hou.se. This is the highest price
received in the Cincinnati or any
other market. The bidding for this
hogshead was the liveliest event for
years, and the excitement was at
fever heat.

The tobacco which was raised in
Nicholas County, Ky., was pro-
nounced by good judges to be the
finest seen in any market. The
Universal Tobacco Company secured
the hogshead . The seller was Frank
Congleton, of Carlisle, Ky. The
previous highest price was $46 25
per 100 pounds. One hogshead of
fancy bright plug grown in Bourbon
County, Ky., was sold for $37.25
per 100 pounds, whileothersbrought
frora|30to$35per 100 pounds. The
bidding was spirited on all goods
offered. ____——-' —

As to Banding Cigars.

Office of Deutsch Bros.,
Cigar Manufacturers

New York Sept. 2, 1902
Dear Medicine Man:

After years ot observation, I have
noticed that any means enabling the
consumer to identify a particular ci
gar had considerable merit, especi
ally so from an advertising point of
view.

I refer to banding, tagging, brand-
ing, printing, etc.

Banding is by far the more attrac-
tive method but the small margin
in most goods and the relatively
high cost of bands and banding
often prevents one from making use
of this medium.

I would thank you to inform me
if fancy embossed bands can be pro
cured in a continuous strip, also if
a machine has been devised for put-
ting them on cigars.

The benefits to the manufacturer
are many and it would obviate the
refilling of 'empties," and lend it-
self to any premium scheme.

Please favor me with full particu-
lars and greatly oblige,

• Yours truly,

Morris Deutsch.

Answer,

I have submitted Mr. Deutsch's
question to a number of cigar label
lithographers, among those whom I
consulted being an oflBcer of the
American Lithographic Company
and a member of the firm of Louis
E. Neuman &. Co., and all of them
agree in saying first that fancy em
bossed bands cannot be procured in
a continuous strip, and secondly
that no machine has been devised
for putting them on cigars. The
lithographers say that fancy em-
bossed cigar bands cannot be made
in strips more than five feet in
length, because a lithographer's

stone sixty inches in length is an
uncommonly large stone. Accord-
ingly a strip of cigar bands made on
the longest stone, so far from being
continuous, would only be five feet
in length, and this, I conceive, dis-
poses of the lithographed band
within the meaning of Mr. Deutsch's
question.

Of course a continuous band in
colors and embossed could be
printed, just as other continuous
strips are printed in colors, but they
would be valueless without a ma-
chine that would properly put them
around the cigars. Such a machine
would have to work with almost
human intelligence because other-
wise it would destroy an enormous
quantity of cigars. Cigars are deli
cate enough, especially those
wrapped with Sumatra, a fact well
known to every manufacturer who
brands his cigars.

The fact appears to be that the
present system of putting on the
bands by hand is in every way sat
isfactory . The work is usually done
by deft handed young women who
quickly become very expert at it.
However, inventive genius in this
country is exhaustless and it is
quite possible that some day, and
perhaps soon, fancy embossed cigar
bands in a continuous strip may be
put around cigars by a perfectly
practicable machine.

such information on this subject as
you happen to have at hand.

Snuff Taking Coming in

Again.

Providence, R. I., Sept., 5, 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

Many of the young women em-
ployed in the factories here are
snuff dippers. My father, who es
tablished the business to which I
succeeded on his death in 1896, al-
ways refused to sell snuff to women
who came into his shop to ask for
it, yet he himself was a profuse
taker of snuff by the nose. I can-
not myself see that the young wo
men snuff dippers of Providence are
in any way to blame for their man
ner of using snuff. They are very
well behaved young women; they
pay cash for everything they buy,
and when they smile at me. as they
frequently do, I notice that their
teeth are particularly good and
clean. The truth is, I believe, that
these young women indulge the
habit of snuff dipping in privacy;
that some of them are, indeed, so
secret about it that the girls work
ing on either side of them in their
shops know nothing of it.

Some time ago I read in The
Tobacco World that snuff taking,
I mean in the oldfashioned nasal
way, is coming into vogue again
among fashionable men and women
in England and the United States.
My father used to tell me stories
he heard from his own father about
the ceremonies incident to snuff
taking in the days of George III.
and George IV. They were very
interesting stories, but I hare for-
gotten them. I should like to talk
up snuff to my male friends and,
therefore request you to give me

usual. A popular style this year
has the sides and top of celluloid

the sides and top covered with
morocco or embossed leather with
the top label in the accustomed
place. This style is expected to

The market in Havana for the
week ending August 30, has ex-
hibited more life and sales amounted
to 6,500 bales, notwithstanding that
owing to the strike in the previous
week arrivals of tobacco were some
what curtailed and thus stopped
several transactions from being con-
summated. This will mean, how-
ever, only a delay of a few days, as
surely sellers and purchasers will

come to terms upon all suitable lots,
when the latter arrive in their en-
tirety from the country. The tone
of the market is continuing in a

healthy vein, and while prices rule
high buyers fully understand that
the principal profit accrues to the
farmers and not to the almacenistas
or packers. As the vegueros are the
ones who sufifer chiefly when to-
bacco is plentiful and prices are
low, nobody grudges them a better
fate under exceptional circum-
stances. This, however, only holds
good as far as the farmers in the
Partido district are concerned, as
those in the Vuelta Abajo with few
exceptions and, above all, in the
Remedios district, have just cause
for complaint, not only in having
harvested a short crop, but getting
low figures in the bargain, because
as a rule the tobacco is of a less de-
sirable nature than in former years.

Everybody seems to be wishing
that the coming crop may be not
alone good in quality but also
larger in quantity, as, in alj proba-
bility, the stocks of the 1901 and
1902 crops will be barely sufficient
to supply the demands to be made
upon them. This refers chiefly to
the so called factory vegas and good
heavy-bodied fillers.

The 6,500 bales mentioned above
consisted of about i ,600 bales Parti-
do, 3,000 bales Vuelta Abajo and
vSemi- Vuelta, and 1,900 bales of
Remedios tobacco, 250 of the latter
I being low grcdes of the 1902 crop.
The strike of the freight handlers,
cartmen, etc., was luckily settled by
mutual compromises upon the even-
ing of August 25, and so everything
is moving in its normal sphere
again.

Advices from the country are
meagre; packings are still going on
in all directions, and for the next
two months may continue, when
virtually everything of this year's
crop will have been packed into
' bales. In the meantime, the new
seedbeds are in a fair way of pro-
gressing, and should the weather
be favorable, transplanting ought to
I begin in the month of October to
insure a temprano crop in the
Vuelta Abajo and Partido regions.
Remedios tobacco generally is nearly
one month later, although, unless
prices should advance, it is very
doubtful, whether the farmers will
set out enough plants to insure an
average ciop.

York, Don Manolin Cano, of Cano

Havana Commercial Co., of Hav
ana, were passengers by the outgo-
ing steamer Morro Castle.
Warning toall Buyers Going to Cuba

Lewis Cantor, who brought along
about two pounds of seedleaf and
less than two pounds of Sumatra
tobacco to use for testing purposes
of heavy bodied fillers, was told at
the Custom House wharf, when
landing from the Morro Castle, that
he would have to pay $20, Spanish
gold for the four pounds, gross, oi
tobacco, or at the rate of $5 per
pound. All his protests that the
Spanish as well as the American
authorities, when in charge of the
Havana Custom House, had always
passed such samples free of duty,
were of no avail, and finally Mr.
Cantor, rather than pay such an
exorbitant charge, abandoned the
goods to the Cuban officials. In
future all coming buyers from the
United States ought to bear in mind
this new ruling, and either be pre-
pared to pay the duty or leave all
foreign or domestic tobacco in the
United States when bound for the
island of Cuba.

Cigar Factories.

Business is gradually picking up,
and during the coming three months
all factories in Havana will have no
lack of orders and work to the fullest
extent. It has been suggested to
some of the large manufacturers in
Havana to follow the example set
by their brethren in the United
States, and for the protection of
themselves as well as the public in
general to stamp each individual
cigar with the name of the factory
or brand, and it remains to be seen
whether it will be carried out and
thus eflfectually aid, in conjunction
with the United States revenue de
tectives, to stop the glaring fraud
of refilling the empty imported ci-
gar boxes as practiced heretofore.
Some competent persons figure out
that instead of the forty millions of
cigars shipped from the island of
Cuba to the United States fully three
times this amount is sold to the un

suspecting public as genuine im
ported Havana cigars, thus indicat
ing that the United States treasury
is the loser to this extent of the im-
port duties which it ought to collect
if such gigantic frauds as refilling
the boxes had already been all un-
covered and not in an isolated in-
stance only.

H. Upmann & Co. increased their
holdings of tobacco by adding an-
other 500 bales of Vuelta Abajo
factory vegas and fillers to it.

Havana Tobacco Co. — Upon the
best authority it is stated that the
object of this company is to continue
t^ work their difi"erent factories in
the same manner as heretofore,
thus preserving all the individual
concerns under their known brands
and letting their respective Ijuyers
secure the raw material for each
separate factory, while only the
selling machinery might be concen-
trated and operated in such a way
as to save expenses. This plan, if
adhered to, will undoubtedly prove
of great benefit to all interested
parties, an by preserving the dis-
tinctive quality of each brand the
public cannot fail to bestow its
patronage upon its accustomed cigar
from a well known factory. The
individual aroma of a genuine Hav-
ana cigar is apt to appeal to one
person more than to another, and
when once acquired the distinction
of each factory also becomes per-
ceptible to the connoisseur.

Flor de J. Suarez Murias- — This
factory is now admitted to form one
of the late acquisitions of the Hav-
ana Tobacco Co , of New York, al-
though it continues under the man-
agement of Don Kduardo Suarez,
and therefore preserves the individ-
ual character of this well-known
brand.

The natural excitement incident
to the advent in this city of the
United Cigar Stores Company has
somewhat died down. A represent-
ative of the company has, however,
been prospecting in various sections
of the city, particularly along the
more prominent thoroughfares, such
as Ridge avenue, Girard avenue,
Germantown avenue, Kensington
avenue. North Front street and
Richmond street, and also Lancaster
and Woodland avenue in West
Philadelphia, but no additional lo-
cations have yet been reported as
having been secured.

Rumor has it, though, that as
soon as the 720 Chestnut and 13th
and Market streets stores are opened
Philadelphia- made products, such
as the Cinco, Vesper, Saborosa, and
others, are to be sold by them at
cut rates. It is claimed that a suf-
ficiently large stock of these goods
has been procured for the purpose.
This remains to be seen.

Herman Herz, of Herz Bros., well

known leaf dealers of N^w York

city, won three events out of four,

and for each victory he recei\'ed a

handsome sterling silver loving cu'p.
Mr. Herz will take part in the
swimming contest of his club on
September 13. He is probably the
best all round athlete the New York
leaf district can boast.

A Strike Suit Fails.

An application was made early

of the State of New York, by Benj.
Hilton, representing a small hold-
ing of the stock of the American
Lithographic Company, asking that
an action be brought for the disso-
lution of the corporation on the
allegation of insolvency. At a
hearing the company showed the
value of its assets and the amount
of its liabilities. The Attorney
General has rendered a decision in
which he denies the application.
He said: "The great preponderence
of evidence shows that the company
is solvent."

The Smuggling ot Sumatra.

The fact that Sumatra continues
to be smuggled into the port of New
York, as narrated in last week's
Tobacco World, excites a great
deal of comment, both in the trade
and at the New York Custom House.
Customs officials says that the Red
Star line people, both in Europe
and the United States, have always
shown a ready willingness to assist
them in curbing smuggling of all
kinds. During the past twelve
months a certain steerage steward,
and at least a score of other ships'
employes were discharged by the
Red Star line, for attempting to
smuggle Sumatra into New York.
Under the law, smuggled merchan-
dise must be landed before it can be
seized, or the smuggler punished.
In the case of the steerage steward
above mentioned a quantity of Su-
matra was found in the bottom of
his trunk aboard ship. The eflfort
of the customs inspectors to seize
the tobacco and to punish the
steward came to nothing because
the tobacco had not been landed.

New York Leaf Market

Business in all types of leaf in
the New York market was fair last
•week. Most of the out of town
buyers whose presence in the market
the week before kept everything
and everybody moving, have al-
most all gone home and the market
is again settling down to its normal

condition.

Tobacco Convention on Sep-
tember 17.

A convention of tobacco interests
has been called to meet in London,
England, on September 17th, and
is to include all of the large manu
facturers of tobacco, the importers
and all interests directly connected
with tobacco.

— The store of G. W. Cochran &
Co., 1 1 17 Pennsylvania avenue,
Washington, D. C, was slightly
damaged by fire on September i .

United Cigar Stores in
Chicago.

The United Cigar Stores Co. has
entered Chicago, and has acquired
six stores in the windy city.

The negotiations have been con-
ducted by C. A. Whelan and Louis
Beiel, of the U. C. S. Co.,iand the
stores secured are:

Clayton Cigar Company, Adams
and Dearborn streets.

Clayton Cigar Company, 119
Madison street.

Clayton Cigar Company, Madison
street near Wabash avenue.

Clayton Cigar Company, 87 Mon
roe street.

M. Newlander & Co., 132 Dear-
born street.

M. Newlander & Co., Van Buren
street and Pacific avenue.

William Clayton , president of the
Clayton Cigar Company, and his
associate, Ralph Hamburger, whose
interests have been transferred to
the new company, are to become
the Chicago managers for the east-
ern corporation, and they are assist-
ing the eastern men in the purchase
of other stores. Proposals have
been made to many of the local
dealers who have not yielded to the
offers for their stores. Among these
are:

The Mangier Catering Co.

Wagner & Hauschilds,

Hayden Cigar Co. ,68 State street.

Louis Beiel, eastern manager of
the company, said:

••We are meeting with little op-
position in Chicago, and before
many days we will have secured all
the stores we want to take care of
in the city. Dealers who have
heard of the scheme are already
coming forward with offers to sell,
and it keeps us busy investigating
offered property. We have nothing
to do with the American Cigar Co.,
I wish to say, to correct a report
which has been circulated. The
American Cigar Company is a com-
petitor. It is our purpose to con-
trol about fifty Chicago stores, just
as we do in New York, and through
these stores to push the sale of cer-
tain brands of goods. We have
never done business in Chicago be-
fore, and that has led some to be
lieve that we are not a corporation.
We have been a corporation for
more than two years, duly incorpor-
ated under the laws of New Jersey. ' '

Ralph Hamburger, formerly of
the Clayton Cigar Company, who
is well known among Chicago cigar
dealers, said:

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION IVlACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

How a Cigar May Betoken
Character.

No two men smoke in exactly

j the same manner, so it is possible,

jsays the inventor of cigarology, to

learn the character of every smoker
I whom one may meet.

The man who holds bis pipe

carelessly in the corner of his mouth,
! letting it hang down, is a nonchal
j ant, indolent person; and, on the
I other hand, the man who grasps it

so firmly between his teeth that

marks are left on the mouthpiece is

nervous and high strung.

Generosity, courtesy and loyalty
are the characteristics of a man who
fills his pipe recklessly and rapidly,
and who sends forth irregular puffs
of smoke; but, admirable though
his character is in these respects,
his friendship is not likely to last
very long, and implicit confidence
should at no time be placed in him.
Coldness, reserve and caution are
the salient characteristics of a man

who fills his pipe slowly and metho-
dically, and who smokes with
regularity.

Many smokers carry their cigars
in the upper left hand pocket of
their vests. These men may have
a dozen cigar cases, but they will
not use them, simply because it
takes longer to open a case and take
out a cigar than it does to take one
from the waistcoast pocket. In
other words, these men are disin-
clined at any time to make any
gesture which is not absolutely
necessary.

Of quite different type are those
who bite off the end of a cigar with
their teeth. Prodigals and go as-
you please fellows they are, and woe
to him who loans them any money,
except on the best security. Cigars
the ends of which are bitten off in
this manner are most likely to un-
roll, and often cannot be arranged,
and must be thrown away, all of
which, it is claimed, is convincing
proof that men who act thus set no
value on time or money. — Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

Union Cigar Stores Co.

Another Cigar Stores Co. has
been incorporated under the laws of
New Jersey. It is the Union Cigar
Stores Company, capitalstock $125,-

is said to be similar to that of the
United Cigar Stores Company.

LANCASTER'S REPORT.

Lancaster, Pa., Sept. 9, 1902.

September has opened with a
good volume of trade, which was
well-nigh up to the dealers' expecta-
tions.

Packers are sampling as rapidly
as possible, and in fact several lots
of the 1 90 1 crop have already
changed hands.

The cigar industry is brightening
up considerably. The output of
the 9th District for August, accord-
ing to the sale of Revenue stamps,
was 62,640,000, and that was nearly
four and one-half millions more than
during August, 1901.

Capt. John R. Bricker last week
purchased the waeehouse Bnd cigar
factory of John R. Bricker & Co.,
at Lititz, and will continue the
business individually.

Several crops of the new tobacco
kave been bought in the field, at 8
and 2 cents.

It is now a busy time with the
farmers, who are cutting their to-
bacco and housing it.

S. R. Moss, our prominent cigar
manufacturer, is expected back

TOBACCO A NECESSITY.

Justice Brown, of Joplin, has
rendered a decision which will win
for him the gratitude and admira-
tion of every man who uses the
weed, says the Kansas City Jour-
nal. The city is trying to compel
its merchants to keep their stores
closed on Sunday. The law per-
mits the necessaries of life to be
sold on the Sabbath. During the
trial of a test case it was proved that
a grocer had sold chewing tobacco
His attorney immediately raised the
point that chewing tobacco was a
necessity of life, and the court sus
tained him and said the man had a
right to keep his store open to sell
that indispensable commodity . Oh ,
wise judge!

faces the reader, while Mr. Costa,
in white duck trousers and a black
coat, is to be seen in the background
his eyes bent upon a list of the to-
baccos in the warehouse.

The firm of Rabell, Costa & Co.
is famous in Havana for its knowl-
edge of Vuelta Abajo and Santa
Clara tobaccos, of which crops it
makes specialties. The firm buys
tobacco with the most discriminat-
ing judgment and packs it with the
greatest care. Visitors from the
United States are at all times wel-
come at its warehouse.

Trade in Reading.

The cigar factory of John G.
Spatz & Co. has been very busy
this summer, and its output is al-
ready far ahead of what it was dur-
ing the corresponding period of last
year. In a single mail this week
came orders for 60,000 cigars, and
the firm has orders for half a million
at this time. The sales of the
American and Colonial Empire,
Three Martyrs and other brands
have been heavy. The firm employs
a large force of skilled cigarmakers,
and is widely known to the trade.
Mr. Spatz has again left on an ex
tended western tour.

H. S Hosier, owner of the Bon
Ton factory at 9th and Elm streets,
has taken as a partner Edwin Hel
lerick, who was previously associ-
ated with him in business. They
have placed a new brand on the
market called the El Dorado De
Habana. They are quite busy at
present.

Samuel Miles, of this city, an ex-
perienced tobacco grower, has re-
turned from Little York, where he
purchased several acres of land and
will engage in theculitvation of the
weed on a much larger scale. He
has placed his new property in the
hands of a competent grower and
expects good results. Mr. Miles is
an expert in the business, and
makes weekly trips to the tobacco
fields.

H. H. Wentzel has closed his
factory at 368 South 9th street tem-
porarily, until he can secure more
commodious headquarters.

E. L. Schatzlein, a prominent ci-
gar manufacturer of Kutztown, has
returned from the Allentown hos-
pital, where he underwent a tedious
operation. He has almost recovered
from his ailment, but has lost con-
siderable flesh.

The Cinco Base Ball Club of
Eisenlohr's cigar factory at Boyer-
town received their fine new uni-
forms, the gift of Otto Eisenlohr,
and used them for the first time on
Saturday, when they defeated the
Ambrosia Club of Shirey, Miller
& Co. , cigar manufacturers of Potts-
town, by a score of 14 to 10. On
Labor Day they defeated the Castle
Hall Club of the D. D. Erb & Co.
cigar factory of Boyertown, by the
score of 20 to 4. The Cincos are
ready to meet all comers.

Saml. D. Dibert, of the firm of
Dibert Bros., left on an extensive
western trip last week.

Harry Marcks, who was formerly
in charge of the cigar case at the
Mansion House here, resigned to
accept a position as traveling sales-
man with the National Brass and
Iron Works. His many friends
wish him success.

William Orth, who has purchase
the Luden factory here, will enlarg •
his factory next spring, and make a
number of alterations to the place.
He is very busy at present, and has
a large run on his Pompey cigar.

Trade Prosperous in
Hanover, Pa.

The cigar trade in this vicinity is
prospering nicely. Nearly all our
city factories are having good trade,
and some are filled with orders for
later delivery and these goods are
being made up as rapidly as possible.

Very encouraging reports are also
being received from McSherry sto wn .
The S. L. Johns Cigar Company
factories are running steadily.

The Keystone Cheroot Co., of
Hanover, has lately booked the
largest orders for its products that
it has yet had, running into the
millions. In fact their sales have
exceeded their present facilities to
such an extent that an additional
factory has been opened at Gettys
burg, and is now in fairly good
working order. Mr. Fisher is mak
ing daily visits to the Gettysburg
branch. Mr. Parker, of the firm,
has been on the road for some time,
but will return next week.

C. E. Miller, at McSherrystown,
will soon break ground for the
erection of an addition to his factory
which will nearly double it present
capacity.

Nearly all the union factories of
this place are extremely busy. H.
J, Roth & Co. are employing 46
men, and E. A. Bollinger & Co.,
Ltd., say they have never been
busier.

Latest News from York, Pa.

Local papers and reports are
announcing in this city and county
a decided improvement in the cigar
manufacturing industry. Many
factories which have heretofore been
idle, with great quantities of cigars
stored therein, are becoming more
active since the goods are being
shipped. It is claimed that over
seventy cases of cigars were shipped
from Dallastown in one week. One
manufacturer alone shipped 165,000
to one party.

The large brick warehouse of I.

H. Stiles is in good shape to be
completed by fair- week, beginning
with October i, when it is to be
occupied.

The receipts at the Internal Rev-
enueofficeon Wednesday, amounted
to $9 597 99. This was the largest
single day's business in the history
of the office.

C. C. Kohler, proprietor of
Kohler's cigar store, is the fond
possesser of a bull dog — a present
from Teddy McGovern, the light
weight champion. Mr. Kohler
values his canine at $150.

Noah Gillen, of Gillen & Granat,
was absent from the city on a busi
ness trip to Elmira on Monday and
Tuesday last.

Judge Bittinger has instructed

tables in cigar stores for gambling
purposes, and the operation of slot
machines for profit. Reports re-
garding the above matters reached

the court — hence the action referred
to.

The insurance agents have ad
justed matters promptly and satis
factorily relative to the tobacco
warehouse fire, and the damaged
tobacco is being carted away by
farmers and others for fertilizing
purposes.

A New York Leaf Story.

During the third week of August
last past at the height of the rush of
out of town buyers to the New York
leaf market, a buyer made his ap-
pearance whose operations after
puzzling the holders of the new
Connecticut not a little ended in
his own temporary discomfiture
This buyer hailed from a city which
is to be found mentioned on the map
of the United States somewhere
within the triangle bounded by New
York, San Franci**co and New Or
leans That is definite enough for
this story , the hero of which has for
many years had the reputation of
being one of those frugal, yes,
stingy men, who manage to make a
living in the leaf jobbing business
on total annual sales of not over
$25 coo to $30,000 He was sup
posed to have a capital of about
$10,000. His visits to New York
were infrequent and the salesmen
who did business with him in his
own town, while holding him in
high esteem as an honest man, al
ways noted with satisfaction thit
his orders were constsieutly within
his reputed means.

When this man came to New
York last AugU'^t he went straight
to the office ot a houst; with which

he had done business for a number
of years, and to which he was in
debt to the extent of a little less
than $2 000. Ot this house he
bought a bill of about $5 000 of the
new Connecticut, making his debt
about $7 000 The house was pre-
pared to sell him a larger bill on the
strength of its faith in his honesty,
but he said he had bought all he
needed. During the week which
followed the credit man of the house
referred to learned with amazement
that his customer had bought alto-
gether of other merchants nearly
300 cases of the new Connecticut
and in each case the seller came to
the credit man of the first house to
ask as to the standing of the buyer.
The credit man told a perfectly
straightforward story but refrained
with the utmost circumspectness
from saying a single word that could
be justly construed as a direct im-
pugnment of the good faith of the
buyer. For his own house, how-
ever, he acted with promptness. He
canceled the buyer's order and noti-
fied him that the notes of the buyer's
making for the debt of about $2 000
which had not matured could be
discounted by the maker at 5 per
cent By the return mail he got a
check for the face of the notes, less
5 per cent., and a severe "calling
down" for his alleged officiousness
in making statements calculated to
damage the credit of t.:e buyer.

The hujer complained that every
one of the orders that he had placed
in New York for the new Coanecti-
cut had been canceled by the seller.

After the first of September the
story takes a new turn. Some of
those who were suspicious in the
third week of August and who
fc-ared that the out of town buyer
was preparing for them a Christmas
gift in the shape of an elegant little
failure were considerably more
credulous in September, for they
have not only let the hero of this
story iiividll the ne^ Connecti-
cut he wants but they are also sell-
ing him considerable quantities of
Sumatra, Havana, Pennsylvania,
New York State and Zimmer's
Spanish.

grown in the Valley. There are,
of course, two sources of damage
that the grower fears: First, "hail,"
and second "frost." Every one
watches his thermometer, and when
it indicates less than 50 degrees,
he is apt to consult it frequently.
But if he sniflfs a southern breeze,
he soon sleeps soundly. Again, if
bad looking clouds appear and the
thunders roll, he is sure not to rest
easy until the shower has passed
over and the absence of hail reas-
sures him. But his nerves are
strung to their full tension. It is
not at all wonderful that he should
be extremely anxious for fear of
great loss.

Our correspondents write :
North Hatfield: "Some of our
tobacco sheds are full, and we have
the best crop we ever raised. The
coming week will see it all housed.
Several are already through. There |
is an occasional late-set crop, but J
it has developed a well-finished leaf
these later sunny days. There are
some buyers, or would-be buyers,
but growers are not in a hurry to
fix prices."

Northfield: "Harvesting tobacco
has commenced, and next week
will find most of it in the sheds. It
is a very good quality and sound
in all respects."

Suffield: "We have now the to-
bacco buyers looking over the
ground and seeking to buy our
crops. As a rule, our growers are
not in a hurry to set a price on their
goods, and prefer to wait a while
to see how the crop is going to cure
The leaf is sound, free from dam-
age, and has matured excellently,
as the weather has been all that one
could desire."

Putney: "We have a very nice
growth of perfectly sound and de-
sirable leaf. It has ripened off un
der perfect conditions, and we hope
for and expect to get better prices
than last year, or we shall hold on. "
Hinsdale: "The tobacco in this
town is some days late. Some are
nearly through harvesting. If the
frost holds off the late crops may
be as good as the earlier pieces, as
it is improving fast this warm
weather. No buyers in sight as

yet."

Sunderland: "Tobacco has most-
ly been cut, and is hanging in the
barns, in fine condition here. It
has an excellent color this year
owing to the large rainfall, and the
last week of sunshine has given it
a good body We look for a large
amount of fine light wrappers, un-
less we have pole sweat. It is a
|>erftctly sound crop."

i

Conway: "The harvesting of to-
bacco is now in progress. A few
of our growers will finish this week. Psickers RUd
Nearly all of them seem to want to
have it get ripe this year. It prom
ises a very fine and sound crop." —
American Cultivator.

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
No sales have been reported dur-
ing the week. The fine weather of
the last few days has made a great
improvement in the growing crop
A number of growers have com-
menced cutting but the majority of
the crops throughout the section
are not as yet ripe enough for cut
ting. The most experienced buyers
are warning the growers not to be
too hasty in harvesting but to wait
until the tobacco is in proper con
dition. The temptation to get the
crop in the shed safe from damage
by wind and hail is great, but if cut
while still unripe the danger of im
proper curing is as large. A fine
crop raised on the Joseph Snyder
place in Cold Spring by George
Russell was cut last Saturday and
another raised at Mr. Russell's
home is being cut this week. The
buyers have been carefully watch
ing the new crop and E. C. Munroe ,
was at Corning and Elmira last
week examining the tobacco in the
Big Flats section. Mr. Munroe and
I. C. Gary will represent the Amer
ican Tobacco Co. in the Onondaga
section this year, H P Buell.who
was in the field last year, will lo^k
after the company's buying at
Middletown, O., this season. F
M. Dunham is to build a tobacco
warehouse on the site of the one '
destroyed by fire last fall and ex \
pects to have it ready for occupancj
by December. A three years' lease j
has been made for the building by I
Max Gans & Co , of New York. A \
shipment of twenty five cases of old ,
was made by Chas S Mills, the !
representative of Arendt & Son, i
from their warehouse Monday — '

We have long since passed the days of
the stage coach and the tallow candle. No-
body wants to go back to them.

We have also passed the days of slow,
inefficient methods in the cigar business as in
everything else.

It is of the utmost importance to be up-
to-date.

If the other fellows
would stay back with
you, you might be con-
tent to lag along in the
same old rut.

The trouble is,
though, that they won't
do it.

The enterprising
competitor insists upon
installing the latest and
best tools and equip-
ment, which give him
the biggest kind of an
advantage. The only
way you can save your
business is to adopt these methods yourself

The very latest thing in the cigar mak-
ing business is the DuBrul Dieless Suction
Table.

This is by far the best cigar rolling
system ever placed before the trade and it is
surely going to supplant all others.

1.(2; :.||iiis;<!CFT:|.H'iV-^s; ^I^iaM' !?■.■

The picture of the DuBrul Dieless Suction
Table is shown in this advertisement.

Its superiority is due to the fact that it
has no dies or rollers.

The cutting is done with a circular
knife, which swings up out of the way of
the operator when the wrapper is cut, leaving

everything free to roll
cigars, without being
hampered by dies,
fixed or movable, with all
their complications, irrita-
tions and aggravations.
This table enables
the operator to do more
work and better
work in less time and
with less wrappers than
any other table ever
made.

There is absolutely
no doubt about this ;
we have proved it by
test.

We urge every enterprising cigar manu-
facturer to write to us to-day for full particulars,
prices, etc.

We will also give you particulars of our

Die Table, if you wish. It is the best of the kind.

We have both styles to show at our offices.

BDGERTON, WIS.
The buying of the new crop,
which was started in the fields a
few weeks ago is still being quietly
conducted. As yet it is confined
largely to the Vernon county sec-
tion, though some riding is being
done in other localities and a little
trading efifected. While the move-
ment has not yet reached what in
other years is called a rush of buy-
ing, it is believed that at least i ,000
acres has been contracted for at
prices ranging from 10 to 12 cents.
The United Cigar Manufacturers
are credited with being the large
buyers of the week.

Showers passed over this section
the ist inst , being of benefit where
they fell. There is still much small
tobacco in the crop, which will
need a late fall to mature properly.

A wful Ju venile Examples

Some interesting observations of
the effect of cigarette smoking upon
boys in school were presented by
P. L. Lord in a recent number of
The School Journal. A public
school of about 500 pupils was taken
as an example, and in this school it
was found that the boys were very
much inferior to the girls in every
way. It was also found that a large
majority of the boys were habitual
cigarette smokers.

An investigation was ordered to
ascertain exactly how far the smok-
ing was to blame for the boys' in
eflficiency and low moral condition.
The investigation extended over
several months of close observation
of twenty boys who it was known
did not use tobacco in any form and
twenty boys known to be 'cigarette
fiends."

The non-smokers were drawn by
lot. The report represents the ob-
servation of ten teachers. The
pupils investigated were from the
same rooms in the same schools
No guesswork was allowed. Time
was taken to get at the facts of the
case on the twenty questions of in-
quir) -hence the value of the report

The ages of the boys were from

ten to seventeen. The average age
was a little over fourteen. Of the
twenty smokers, twelve had smoked
more than a year and some of them
several years. All twenty boys
used cigarettes, while some of them
also used pipes and cigars occasion-
ally.

system. In both of these cases the
importer was advised that these im-
portations of snuflF in packages not
corresponding to the statutory pack
ages required by the Internal Rev-
enue laws must cease, and that the
rulings mentioned would only apply
to the individual consignments now
held in the customs service. It ap
pears that if importers buy foreign-
madegoodsthe manufacturer abroad
should put up the snuflf or tobacco
in statutory quantities required in
the United States, when the article
is intended to be imported here and
sold in competition with domestic
goods. To have two classes of
packages, representing but one
article, one showing the weights
expressed in the metric system, and
the other the weights expressed in
ounces and pounds, confuses small
dealers who are not acquainted with
the metric system, although the In-
ternal Revenue stamp required to
be affixed to each package would
show, in ounces and pounds, the
quantity contained in the package.

Advertising Catds.
A manufacturer submitted a small
advertising card giving notice that
upon the return of so many cards a
useful article would be returned to
the holder or dealer, but the name
and address of the manufacturer did
not appear on the card, nor did the
registered factory number appear
printed thereon. The Commissioner
ruled that this card would not be
held as intended to advertise the
business of the manufacturer who
proposed to use it, and, therefore,
that it should not be placed in a
statutory package of tobacco;
further, that while the card might
show that it was intended to be re-
turned to the manufacturer for ex-
change for some other article, this
fact would not bar it as a prohibited
article, provided that the manufac-
turer's name and address, the regis-
tered factory number, and the trade
mark name of his tobacco appeared
plainly printed on each card.

Cigai Stamp Accoant.
A collector, who confused his
accounts by accepting an inventory
showing the number of tax paid
cigars on hand, the manufacturer
reporting the stamps affixed to the
boxes as "unattached stamps on
hand," was advised that a manu
facturer on January i, 1902, should
not have included in his inventory
any cigars or cigarettes that had
been tax paid, and that it was im-
proper for a collector to bring for
ward on Form 144 the number of
tax paid cigars or cigarettes on
hand, and that the account for this
year should only show the number
of unstamped cigars or cigarettes
on hand January i, 1902, and those

unstamped and on hand January^
I, 1903, or on hand at time of filing
an inventory on Form yob. It was
further advised that all cigars
stamped but on hand should be re-
ported with those stamped and act-
ually removed from the factory. It
was also advised that the method of
allowing a manufacturer to report
cigars or cigarettes that are stamped
with those that have not been
stamped delays the settlement of
the accounts, therefore that all ci-
gars or cigarettes made each day
must be properly accounted for on
Book 73; and if a number of cigars
have been stamped, they must be
reported as "sold or removed," and
that the stamps having been affixed
to the boxes they can not be re-
ported and accounted for as "un-
used stamps on hand."

Rnlings on "Conpons."

A manufacturersubmitted a pack-
age with a label attached to the
jacket, which could be detached
without destroying any part of the
package. This slip of paper ad-
vertises a certain brand of tobacco.
The name of the manufacturer also
appears on it, and it has some refer-
ence to an advertisement card issued
by the manufacturer referring to
certain prizes offered in a catalogue,
all of which indicates that the label
was intended to be returned to the
manufacturer in exchange for some
article mentioned in the catalogue.
It was advised that the label could
be attached to the jacket, or be
placed within the package, as it ad-
vertised the business of the manu-
facturer and the particular brand
of tobacco with which it was con-
nected; and the fact that the label
was to be returned to the manu-
facturer in exchange for some other
article did not debar it, as the dis-
tribution of the premiums or prize
articles did not depend upon the
event of a lottery.

Another person was advised that
the regulations allow a manufac-
turer to place small advertising
cards, coupons and circulars of in-
appreciable weight in their packages
of tobacco when such cards, cou-
pons or circulars advertise their
business and relate only to the man-
ufacture and sale of their products
and to no other business. The office
also advised that a manufacturer is
not privileged to place pipes or
other merchandise in such packages,
but that it is not contrary to law for
a manufacturer to exchange pipes
or other articles for tin tags that
may be returned to him by other
persons, provided the distribution
of such articles is not dependent
upon a lottery.

A Tribute to Tobacco.

Here is one woman's tribute to
tobacco: — "Had I four walls roofed
with love and called by that most
meaning name, 'Hom.-,' I would
build an altar in the choicest room
to My Lady Nicotine, and keep it
heaping with armfuls of her frag-
rant weed. I do not know what
magic lurks within the plant, but I
am convinced it is more potent than
treaties to preserve domestic pea'^e,
and some day some one will re-
christenit'TheHappinessFlower '"

BY DIVERS HANDS
Chapter XXXVIIL ''The Smoking Room of Mr. Gorgias Midas,''

By H. J. Spingarn, of E. Spingarn & Co.

The only possible way to grasp
the totality of the wealth of Mr.
Gorgias Midas (shade of George Du
Maurier, forgive me for using that
name,) would be to look at the
figures through the wrong end of
an opera glass.

He was so very rich that once, in
order to get rid of a hogshead ful or
so, he instructed the porters on a
line of sleeping cars he owned to ac
cept no tips for a year, on the guar-
antee that he would reimburse them
fully for their forbearance. After
that he took the best of all the
porters and gave him a job at the
door of his smoking room. The
man's sole duty in this position was
to assist guests invited to a seance
in the smoking room in taking off
their shoes, and in replacing them
with felt-soled slippers. On no other
condition might entrance be had to
Mr. Midas' smoking room. You
see, the floor was mahogany, inlaid
with mother of pearl, and Mr. Midas
was very careful of it.

The room itself was the largest in
the whole vast pile which Mr. Midas
called home. It was about fifty feet
square. There wasn't a chair in it.
Only hanging divans suspended
from the ceiling by silver chains.
They were of all shapes, from a
straight backed chair to a couch.
They were swung about two feet
above the floor.

The ceiling, which was arched,
was very lofty. The oaken rafters,
from which the hanging divans
dangled, partly obscured the re-
markable work of art which adorned
the ceiling. It had been painted by
Benjamin Constant. It showed the
history of tobacco in a series of
panels, and the spaces between the

rafters above mentioned were black.
The walls of the room held racks
of pipes of all countries, and some of
them were three hundred years old.
None of Mr. Midas' guests ever
smoked pipes, save an occasional
Englishman and one or two German
friends, and these brought their own

feet wide. It came from the palace | appetite craves a heavier weed has
of an old- time Indian rajah and had but to speak to command it . Ladies,

cost Mr. Midas its weight, not in
silver, but in gold. It is said this
table is four hundred years old It

too, are welcome, and nothing de-
lights Mr. Midas more than to teach
a fair guest to smoke.

An evening in Mr. Midas' smok-

is adorned with sculptures from the ing room, aside from all the splen-

dors that crowd that unique apart-
ment, is always a delight. Mr.

j the most genial and expansive of

I men. In his smoking room he is
not less genial, but he is prone to
fall into reveries there, and in his
swinging divan, with his limbs re-
laxed, his head thrown back and
his cigar between his teeth, rarely
speaks. He likes to have his guests
remain silent, too. His smoking
room is consecrated to tobacco To-
bacco in his eyes is a jealous god.
In Mr. Midas' house his temple is
the most splendid ever erected for
his worship by mortal man, and
provided the worshiper be truly
one of the faithful, as most of Mr.
Midas' old friends are, he will not
care to talk. He will feast his eyes
upon the countless rarities that en-
counter them from tloor to roof, and
on every side, and will ask for noth-
ing more, unless it be a fresh cigar.

When ladies are in the company
the rule of silence is relaxed, in de-
ference to that weakness for which
their sex has ever been famous, and
the antique Italian cut velvet por-
tieres at the entrance will be drawn •
aside, so that the music which is
provided on these evenings may be
the better heard.

haps, have yet to be invited to have

What to Do to Be Saved,

A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.

XVIII.

And now to conclude this series
of articles —

What to do to be saveo ?

Make hay, and, while the sun
shines, put money in thy purse.

The sun is shining, despite all
that the moaners and the groaners
say to the contrary. Methods of
doing business, both in the leaf and
the cigar trades have changed, and
they will change yet more, but the
time is not now, and it will never
come, when the enterprising, in-
dustrious, honorable, well informed
man need fear that the occupation
of the field by large corporations
will interfere seriously with him.
As in the forest the sycamore over-
tops the oak, the oak the birch and
the birch the green grass, so in the
commercial life of America great
corporations overtop corporations
not so great, and these in turn
smaller corporations or individuals.
It is the people's will that these
things should be so, and a change
will come just when the people de-
mand it, and no sooner.

The great corporations do not

anywhere in the world. They are
making cigarmakers of them, not
salesmen or accountants, and com
petent cigarmakers are public bene
factors. But the great cigar man-
ufacturing and distributing corpora-
tions by no means possess a mono
poly of all the talent, all the energy,
all the capability there are in the
field. There are many very bright
and industrious men on the out-
side, and these will flourish in the
future as their predecessors have
flourished in the past. Good luck,
and long life to all of you, says The
Tobacco World.

A Dress Suit Itinerary,

Carl Upmann's Dress Suit brand
of Havana cigarros would answer
as a hotel guide for any globe-trot-
ter. The packet, which is an imita
tion of a dress suit case, is adorned
with facsimiles of tags containing
the names respectively of the fol-
lowing hotels: Inglaterra, Havana;
Gezireh, Cairo; Roma, Rome; Nip
on Saki, Tokio; Cecil, London;
Orient, Basle; Americano, Manila;
Kaiperhof, Berlin; Young's Hotel,
Boston; Auditorium, Chicago; and
Sherry's and the Waldorf Astoria,
New York.

Dress Suit Havanas retail at 10

Quick Sales of Leaf in
Havana,

The movement in the Havana
market for the week ending Septem-
ber 6 was again very active, and
fully 6 000 bales changed hands, the
majority having been acquired by
buyers from the United States now
in Cuba, while only a very small
number of bales were purchased by
the Havana cigar manufacturers.
Of Vuelta Abajo 2,800 bales of fac-
tory vegas and fillers were taken;
of Partido 1,000 bales; of Semi
Vuelta 500 bales, and of Remedios
I 700 bales. The receipts from the
country during the same period
were a trifle over 15,000 bales, and
unless there should be an increase
again, perhaps the high water mark
of close on to 20,000 bales in one
week might not be reached again
this year. Prices are very firm on
all so called factory vegas and clean
fillers from the Vuelta Abajo, while
only Remedios tobacco does not
yet participate in an advancing

the large and rich planters are try
ing to avail themselves of science
and experiences gathered in other
countries, in order to apply the
former in this island in the raising
of future crops, and thus profit by
the latter to some extent Should
success crown their efforts, then a
new era might set in to revolution-
ize old methods. Pinar del Rio
advices say that nearly 2 500 bales
of vegas and escojidas of the latter
city, as well as of San Juan y Mar-
tinez and Marcos Vasquez, were
sold very recently. Amongst the
buyers were Here*^, Saiz & Co., of
Havana, who purchased 700 bales
in Ovas, Marcos Vasquez, Cuchillas
de Pilotos, Guabina, Taironas, San
Juan y Martinez and Barbacoas.
Rabell, Costa & Co. also purchased
in Pinar del Rio a lot of 300 bales
from the escojida of Don J Muniz.
Seedbeds are progressing finely in
some parts, while in others they are
still very backward.

buyers from the north should not
have paid more attention to this
article. Some 300 bales of new
Remedios were sold, mostly the
lower grades, 2nd capaduras and
botes, and prices for same were low

need more curing in the bales every
purchaser must bear in mind the

Up to now the seedbeds have pro-
gressed fairly well, and if no heavy
rain storms shomld destroy them, the
chances are that a big crop may be
planted in the Vuelta Abajo and
Partido districts, while it is rery
doubtful whether there may not be
a very large falling off in the crop
of Remedios to be planted this year,

as well as Don Laureano Sanchez,

of 1,000 bales amongst which was

a part of Don Adolfo Moeller's fine

Tumbadero packing. Sam I. Davis

added about 500 bales to his previ

for some of the finest Vuelta Abajo

vegas grown this year. A. Bijur,

of I. Bijur & Son, of New York,

has gone to the Vuelta Abajo, with

Don Leslie Pantin, to inspect and

register his escojidas in that district.

Silveira & Co. purchased 200
bales this past week for one of their
customers.

Leonard Friedman & Co. — Lewis
Cantor is registering his escojidas in
the Partido and Vuelta Abajo dis-

Remedios and 50 bales of Vuelta
Abajo.

Rothschild & Bro. have taken the
large and commodious warehouse
and ofl5ce at 144 Industria street,
where they will be pleased to see
their friends.

Sutter Bros, had some tempting
offers for their own packings from
Havana manufacturers, but they
declined them with thanks, as they
intend to reserve them for their
northern friends.

Leslie Pantin states that he has
seen as fine tobacco of Vuelta Abajo
as was ever grown upon the island
in former years.

Cano y Hno. so.'d some 150 bales
of their Vuelta Abajo. and also 32
top bales of their Tumbadero pack-
ings, to a Havana cigar factory for
$20,000, or say $625 per bale aver

Abajo and Partido factory vegas to
several northern buyers.

Bruno Diaz & Co. are also steady
sellers each week, although this
time they did not turn over more
than 200 bales of Vuelta Abajo.

Garcia & Co report 250 bales of
Vuelta Abajo sold to a northern ci-
gar manufacturer.

Walter Himml, ever active, man-
aged to dispose of 100 bales of
Remedios.

M. Menendez Parra continues to
purchase quietly for the Spanish
contract, and doubtless when the
next Spanish steamer leaves he will
have a good sized shipment again.

Remigio Lopez & Co. report no
sales, but they will be heard of
again in the coming w ek, as they
have been in treaty with several
parties.

I. Bernheim & Son purchased
over 1 ,000 bales of old Remedios,
and they are packing extensively of

Choice of a Career,

Philadelphia, Sept. 14, 1902.
Dear Medicine Man :

Like several others who have
previously addressed you on sub
jects that are of interest to them-
selves, I come of a tobacco trading
family. Last June I graduated
from High School and during the
past summer I have been waiting
on customers behind the counter in
my father's cigar store. If I stay
here I have nodoubt I shall in time
succeed to the business. But life
behind a counter does not suit me
It is too monotonous, for one thing
and then, for another, I am always
remembering that I am an American
and that my duty to myself and to
my family demands that I shall grow
rich, which I fear I can never do
behind the counter of a cigar store.

At present three roads are open to
me and I am called on to step out
into one of them — I can stay where
I am, I can become a traveling cigar
salesman or I can go into the factory
of the man who for years has been
supplying my father's store with ci-
gars, as a workman at the bench
with the promise of promotion
Which position would you advise
me to take? Monroe L.

Answer.
Take the place at the bench, by
all means. Your letter shows me
that you are a credit to your father
and to the school from which you
come. It is such lads as you that
make the right kind of men. Cigar
store clerks and traveling cigar
salesmen there will always be plenty
of, but the world is increasingly in
need of capable men in the work-
rooms of cigar factories. The work
room is the only place in which to
learn those details a knowledge of
which is a sure foundation for a
successful future. The man who
can manage a cigar factory properly,

who can see that the right sort of
tobacco goes to the cigarraakers,
who can hold the good will of the
workpeople, who can make sure
that the owners of the factory are
getting the proper quantity and the
proper kind of cigars out of the raw
material, is an invaluable employe
The proper performance of his duties
constantly calls for the exercise of
abilities that are as admirable as
they are rare.

Most young American men, and
this is most especially true of the
very bright ones, make the sad mis-
cake of trying to fly before they
have learned to creep, and the sons
and nephews of well to do tobacco
people I regretfully place in this
category. In the past twenty years
I have known several fond papas
who have taken their sons into
partnership immediately upon the
graduation from school of the latter.
The experiment was a success in
but one single instance. In every
other case both the senior and the
junior member of the firm went
broke. This would not have hap-
pened, at least it wouldn't have
jappened so frequently, if young
hopeful had been put to work at the
bench in his father's factory and had
made his way upward from that
lowly but very sensible beginning.

The world wants plodders, not
geniuses. The great Professor De
war at the annual meeting of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, at Belfast, Ireland,
on September 10, said something
on this subject that is very much to
the point, and I trust all my youth-
ful readers will take it to heart.

He pointed out the German chem-
ical industries that are worth /'50,-
000,000 annually. These, he said,
had sprung up within seventy years
and had received enormous expan-
sion in the last thirty years. They
were largely founded on basic dis
coveries made by English chemists,
which were never properly appreci-
ated or scientifically developed in
England. The root of the mischief
was the want of education among
the so-called educated classes, and
secondarily among the workmen.
He said:

"It is in an abundance of men of
ordinary plodding ability, thor-
oughly trained and methodically
directed, that Germany at present
has so commanding an advantage.
It is the failure of our schools to
turn out, and of our manufacturers
to demand, men of this kind, which
explains our loss of some valuable
industries and our pre'^arious hold
on others. Let no one imagine for
a moment that this deficiency can
be remedied by any amount of that
technical training which is now a
fashionable nostrum. It is an ex-
cellent thing, but it must rest upon

a foundation of general training. ' The Inscription of Sept. 12.

Star of Bethlehem

Latest Novelty of
W. M. Applegate.

A NEW FIVE-CENT CIGAR

W.
cigar and tobacco jobber of Bethle-
hem, Pa. , a few weeks ago lauuched
his latest novelty in the line of 5-
cent goods distributed by him.

It is the "Star of Bethlehem"
with which in a few short weeks he
has gained a signal success, and the
goods have been already placed on
sale at hundreds of retail establish-
ments within a radius of twenty
miles from Mr. Applegate 's home
city.

The idea of this distinctive piece
of goods was original with Mr.
Applegate, who has given its ex-
ploitation his personal attention,

symmetry of the trimmings, which
consist of a specially lithographed
label, extension label, end label,
flap and nail tag, together with an
edging of neat design.
Notwithstanding the numerous

Beihlehem" is to be made one of
the strongest leaders of the house,

every indication at present pointing
to its success.

Latest News from York, Pa.

The prophesied boom to that part
of the cigar trade interesting to York
countains has at last occurred, sud-
denly and almost unexpectedly.
From every source information in-
dicating good steady orders and sur-
prisingly large shipments is elicited,
and there is every reason to believe
that, for the next several months,

lately discovered slate deposits
near Yorkana, this county.

Charles A. Rost, of Red Lion,
cigar manufacturer, has registered
for the sale of leaf, which he will
conduct in conjunction with the
cigar manufacturing business.

W. H. Raab & Sons, of Dallas-
town, reports meeting with un-
usual success with his leading
brands, 463, Paradise, and Co Co
Mo.

The majority of the packers here
have finished. This is not true of
all however, for R. D. Zech has, no
later than the present week, re
ceived a large amount of tobacco
from farmers to be packed for S.
L. Johns.

R. R. Uhler, salesman for Sutter
Bros,, has demonstrated that the
leaf business is exceedingly good,
by the depleted contents of several
well filled trunks, a few days after
his arrival here.

A newcomer to the trade here
this week was George W. Kreider,

Trade in Reading.

Frank A. Weber, of Jersey City,
filed his bond with Collector Crans
ton for a large new union factory,
which was opened here last Mon
day, at 142 Cedar street. This is
the largest factory opened here
recently, as it starts with 60 hands
Mr. Weber runs a large cigar dis
tributing agency in New York city,
and proposes making Union label
goods here exclusively. The num-
ber of union label factories in this
district is increasing weekly. Frank
J. Hunt will have charge of the
new factory, and he has had many
years' experience in the cigar trade

Bondy & Lederer, cigar manu
facturers of AUentown, arranged
with Collector Cranston here for the
enlargement of their factory from
300 to 500 hands Last month
their output reached two million
cigars, making it the largest factory
in this district

Allen Baer, of Wyomissing, has
purchased four houses, including
the large cigar factory of Pierce
Stefiy, at that place. He will take
possession of the factory at once.

Mr. and Mrs. Keyser Fry, left
last week on a six weeks' vacation,
their objective point being Casper,

Wyoming, where Mr. Fry's parents
own a large ranch. Mr. Fry is a
member of the Penn CigarCompany
here, and he will combine his plea-
sure trip with business in the in-
terest of the firm.

William Connor, cigar manufac-
turer, and real estate dealer John
Lambert, of Philadelphia, were
the guests of the latter's brother,
Joseph F. Lambert, at Kutztown.
They also attended the Democratic
notification meeting in this city.

At the meeting of the Cigar-
makers' Union, last Thursday, ap-
plication was received from three
large factories for the use of the
union label. The matter was re-
ferred to the proper committee.

Thomas P. Msore, who conducts
the "Smoke House" cigar store,
at 501 Penn street, will celebrate
the twenty- fifth anniversary of the
opening of his store, Saturday,
October 25. Mr. Moore is one of
Reading's successful business men.

The large cigar factory located
at Richland, formerly occupied by
D. R. Frank & Co., was destroyd
by fire last week. The building
was of frame. The nearby dwelling
houses were saved by the heroic
work of the bucket brigade, as were
Kalback's large lumber sheds and
stock of lumber. The building was
owned by Isaac Kegeries, and had
recently been improved and re-
painted. The origin of the fire is
unknown. Over 20,000 cigars and
1.500 pounds of tobacco were con-
sumed by the fiames.

Reading's union cigarmakers are
in receipt of information that the
cigar store trust is dickering for
several cigar stores here, with a
view of purchasing them and using
them for the sale of trust goods.
The cigarmakers state that they
will declare war on all trust cigar
stores, just as they did on the trust
cigars when they were brought here
some time ago. They have consid-
erable literature attacking trust ci-
gar stores, cigars and tobacco,
which will be distributed.

The Central Cigar Manufacturing
Co. was organized here and will
carry on the manufacturing of ci-
gars in the rear of 41Q Penn street.
The members of the firm art Wm.
G Kissinger and Lewis R. Farling.
The latter will manage the business.
A specialty will be made of high
grade cigars. Mr. Farling carried
on the business for many years
alone, and enjoyed a large run on
his Athletic, Zu Zu and Hinkey
Dink brands, which will be con-
tinued as heretofore. Ten hands
are employed on full time by the
new firm, and more will be added.

Subject Only to Customs Dues,
Less 25 Per Cent.

Acting on an opinion of the De-
partment of Justice that cigars from
the Philippine Islands are not sub
ject to the internal revenue tax of $3
a thousand when imported into the
United States, the Treasury Depart-
ment has so informed collectors of
customs and will refund several
hundred thousand dollars of taxes
ilready collected.

Cigars imported from foreign
countries pay customs duties ol
$^ 50 a pound and 25 per cent, ad
valorem, and in addition the usual
internal revenue tax of $3 a thou-
sand. Under the above decision
the Manila cigar manufacturer will
derive an advantage in the markets
of the United Slates over Cuban and
other foreign competitors, for he
will not only be relieved of paying
j the internal revenue tax, but will
I receive the benefit of the 25 per
j cent, reduction in customs dues ac-
corded by the Philippine tariff act.
Acting Attorney General Hoyt
bases his opinion on the decision of
the Supreme Court in the fourteen-
diamond rings case, that goods
brought from the Philippines were
not "imported from a foreign coun-
try" within the meaning of the rev-
enue laws, which would exempt ci-
gars coming from the islands from
internal revenue tax. He then
quotes from section 3448 of the re-

Ysidro Pendas Dead.

The Successful Cigar Manufacturer Succumbs to
Pneumonia September 12.

S/INeriEZ & M/IYA

Manufacturers of

Ysidro Pendas, Deceased.

The return from Furope, in ex-
cellent health, on August 30, of
Ysidro Pendas, senior member of
the great clear Havana cigar manu
facturing firm of Y. Pendas & Al
varez, of New York and Tampa,
was recorded in The Tobacco World
only last week. Mr. Pendas died
at his home 22 Brevoort Place,
Brooklyn, N. Y. , of pneumonia, at
5 o'clock on the morning of Sep-
tember 12. Thus suddenly did
death creep upon this estimable
citizen almost on the hour of his
reunion with his family.

Within a week of his return Mr.
Pendas went to the country with
his family for a brief outing before
undertaking the arduous duties that
awaited him at his office. He con-
tracted a cold which developed into
pneumonia, subsequently to his re-
turn to his home in Brooklyn.
Death ensued as above mentioned
despite the loving and unceasing
care given to the suflFerer by his
physicians and his family.

The deceased gentleman was born
in the little town of Priero, in the
province of Asturias, Spain, in May
1844. In early boyhood he went to
Havana where, in the Sultana fac-
tory, he learned cigar making at the
bench. Having mastered all the
details of the craft and being con- 1

vinced that a brighter future awaited
him in the United States than he
could hope to realize in Cuba, Mr.
Pendas then in his twentieth year,
came to New York. This was in
January, 1864. He work at his
trade in New York for three years,
and then, in 1867, with his chum
and fellow Astrian, Miguel Alvarez
he embarked in business on his own
account. The association thus
formed with Mr. Alvarez continued
unbroken till the time of the death
of Mr. Pendas. The firm has been
one of the most successful in the
history of the cigar manufacturing
industry of the United States. Tak
ing for its motto the word "Qual
ity" the firm has consistently and
invariably utilized in its brands not
only the very best Vuelta Abajo to-
bacco obtainable and the most ex-
pert cigarmakers to be found, but
the seniors have taken care to train
their respective sons in the art of
salesmanship. The partnership
agreement between the members of
the firm has never been anything
but oval, and they ever treated one
another with the same scrupulous
honor which they showed in all
their dealings with whomsoever else.
At the time of his death Mr. Pendas
was reputed a millioniare.

& Alvarez maintained the extra-
ordinarily high standard of its ci-
gars throughout the entire period
of the American- Spanish war will
always be remembered. Even dur-
ing the embargo placed upon the
exportation of Vuelta Abajo leaf
by Captain General Weyler. Y.
Pendas & Alvarez kept forth with
their trade and their cigars were as
uniformly made of the best Vueltas
grown in the Penar del Rio as in
peaceful times and without advance
in price.

Ysidro Pendas is survived by his
widow and the following named
children, Jose M., Maria, Rita,
Ysidro, Manuel B., Leonora, Lilia,
Juanita and Isabel.

In the Spanish colony of New
York the deceased gentleman was
universally respected. Upon the
organization of the Clear Havana
Cigar Manufacturers of the United
States, last spring, Mr. Pendas was
elected its president, and he held
that office at the time of his death.
The funeral services took place
at the Roman Catholic church of
the Nativity, Classon avenue and
Madison street, Brooklyn, on the
morning of September 15, and were
attended by a large gathering of the
surviving friends of the deceased
gentleman. The remains were tem-
porarily placed in a vault in Green-
wood cemetery.

Fifty Years a Leaf Man.

A. Shack Passes in Review the Men and Events ot

a Halt Century,

Mr a. Shack

Mr. A. Shack, of the Venezuela
Building, 135 Front street. New
York, celebrated hisseventy seventh
birthday on September 9.

Mr. Shack has been identified
with the cigar leaf interests of the
United States and Canada since
1852 For a year before that he had
been an importer of German cigars
These German cigars were made of
tobacco grown in the Palatinate
He recalls that they had a sweet,
mild flavor The cheaper grades of
them sold in the New York market
at from $5 to $6 per i 000. anH were
retailed at 3 for one "York shilling "
"The firm of Young & Berman,"
said Mr. Shack to a Tobacco World
reporter, "were just ahead of me in
the importing of German cigars. I
made the acquaintance of these Ger-
man cigars at the Crystal Palace
Exposition in London in June and
July, 1 85 1. I saw there also some
cigars made at Hamburg, in the
Cuban style, and upon my return to
New York ordered a shipment of
several hundred thousand of them
from Hamburg. It chanced that
they arrived from Germany in what
turned out to be the very nick of
time, for there was loading in the
East River a vessel about to sail for
California, just then hungering for
cigars. I sent my Hamburg cigars
to the auction room of Gerard &
Betts. They were sold the follow-
ing day and brought me a net profit
of a little over $6,000 With my
next consignment of cigars from
Hamburg, a few weeks later, and

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦^♦♦♦♦4'

also sold for me by Gerard & Betts,
I did not do at all well for there was
no ship sailing for California and I

realized on the sale only a trifle
above cost.

"From 1852 to 1853 I was an
importer (ȣ Cuban cigars, and the
popular shape in those days was
the old Principe, made of Yara to-
bacco. In 1854 I went to Canada,
remaining there until 1869. In
Canada I was a manufacturer of
plug tobacco and a dealer in cig«r
leaf, and throughout my entire so-
journ in the Dominion I kept in
touch with my old friends in New
York, so that when I returned to
New York in 1869 I was able at
once to establish myself prosper-
ously in the leaf brokerage business.
"Fifty years ago the business of
packing and importing cigar leaf
tobacco was in an inchoate state in
New York The principal house
here at that time was the firm of
Ritter, Palmer & Crawford, one of
whose outgrowths, Hinsdale Smith
& Co , is a big house to this day.
It was about 1852 that the firm of
Shubart & Hoflfman, whose cigar
factory at Attorney and Division
streets was very prosperous, estab-
lished themselves as leaf merchants i
downtown The firm of E. Hoflf-
man & Son is a very prominent one
now, and Mr. Aaron Shubart has;
all his life been a member of the
leaf trade. Another leaf firm well
known fifty years ago was Arken-
burgh, Collins & O'Neill. Mr.
Roeder, who was the first of the ci-
gar leaf tobacco brokers, in 1852
also conducted a retail cigar store
in Chatham St.. and he had working
for him behind the counter a young
German who afterward became one
of the largest and wealthiest men in

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

the leaf trade. This was the late
Charles F. Tag. Wm H. Price
and his partner, Mr. Bock, are also
to be remembered as among the
pioneer leaf merchants of New
York.

"Others immediately following
them were Bunzl 5' Dormitzer, who
had previously had a cigar factory
in Catherine street, M. H. Levine,
M. S. Cohn, both of them cigar
manufacturers also, the first Vetter-
lein, Mr. Loomis and others.
Among the earliest importers of
Havana tobacco were Knight Bros .
Agnew & Son and the Fattmanus,
the last named of whom are honor-
ably remembered for their endow-
ment of Mt. Sinai Hospital in New
York. Shortly afterward Felix
Miranda, Antonio Gonzalez. Felix
Garcia, and Weil & Co opened of \
fices in New York. Important con
temporary leaf dealers were, among
others, A. S. Rosen baum, the Ben |
rimos, Havemeyers & Vigelius. [
Schroeder & Bon, Palmer & See- 1
Tille, Alva Oatman, I. B. Cohn. E.
Spingarn & Co., Jos. Mayer's Sons,
and E Rosenwald & Bro , several
of whom are still very great factors
in the trade

"At first almost the only leaf
dealt in by New York merchants
was that which was grown in Con
necticut, and in the early times of
which I am speaking this leaf was
Identified to purchasers by the
brand or the name of the man who
had packed it. vSome well known

brands that I recall were the 'O
W,' Pease, ''Chapman'and'Filley.'
Afterward, when a knowledge of
the cigar leaf grown in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Wisconsin and New
York State became general and the
ut>e of these types of leaf widespread
among cigar manufactures, the New
York leal market became one of the
busiest marts of trade in the world.
Leaf changed hands by the thousand
case lot, and large fortunes were
made or lost upon every crop
With the advent of Sumatra and the
consequent gradual disuse for wrap
|pers of the domestic types which
had theretofore served that purpose,
methods of doing business in the
j New York leaf market changed, but
I notice very few changes in the
names of firms and individuals
whom I have known since 1869. It
is a solid market, and I am thank
ful that the majorit> of my days
j have been spent in it. Before I
close do not let me fail to say that
I contemporaneous with almost the
earliest New York leaf merchants
were such well known Philadelphia
houses as L. Bamberjjer & Co.,
Dohan & Taitt. and Teller Bros

" My son Julius has been connected
with the leaf trade since 1872. Be-
ginning with G Falk & Bro., whom
he left in 1876. he went to Levy
Bros.thecigar manufacturers whose
brands he introduced to the whole
sale grocery trade. He is, to day
I believe, the oldest leaf salesman
visiting the Canadian trade."

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or marl( wrap
pers. It is also the only self-
sliarpening machine that has
ever been ofiered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use

is evidence of the superiority of the

This is the Most Durable, Best

PHILA, LEAF MARKHT.

The leaf market of this city hz%
this week shown an improvement
I over last week ; in fact trade has
j been fairly good particularly in old
' Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Con-
necticut is still attracting attention,
and is selling quite freely. Inquiries
generally are continuing strong.
Offerings of new crops are attract-
ing more attention.

The Sumatra market has also ap-
parently been stimulated, owing to
the scarcity of domestic wrapper
leaf, and importers are realizing
fairly satisfactory prices.

Havana tobaccos have again
proven very desirable stock. The
volume of business has been only
normal, but prices were maintained.

EXPORTS.

23 tons; Antwerp, 84 tons; London,

New York Leaf Market.

It was a very cheerful week.
Business was good and the demand
for all types of leaf was brisk. The
Sumatra men were particularly
pleased because, while there were
no very large single sales to be re-
corded the bulk of the week's trans-
actions in this leaf were larger than
they had been for a long time.

Record Price tor Cigar I^eai,

The record price for cigar leaf to-
bacco was secured on September 13
on the Cincinnati breaks, when a
case of Connecticut wrapper was
sold at $40 per 100 pounds, at the
Cincinnati-Miami Warehouse, to
Capt. John Barnes. The tobacco
was of unusually fine quality and

ter can be proven untenable. The
members of the association declare
that large combined interests are to
blame for the agitation against the
machines.

Back of the nominal battle of the
American Cigar Company, the
United Cigar Stores Company and
the United Cigar Manufacturers is
the contest of Ruhstrat & Curlett,
Best & Company and Clayton &
Hamburger, to control the local
field. Cigar stands and stores are
being purchased in the downtown
districts and new stores are being
leased wherever they can be found.

In this contest the American Ci-
gar Company is represented by Ruh
strat & Curlett. The principal dis
tributers for the United Cigar Man-
ufacturers has long been Best &
Co., while the Clayton Cigar Com-
pany is representing the latest ar
rival in Chicago, the United Cigar
Stores Company. The last named
concern will run its stores under
the name of the Imperial Cigar
Company, which has rented and is
refitting the store at the northeast
corner of Dearborn and Monroe
streets .

Principals in the great cigar con-
cerns entered denials to the assertion
that they were all practically wings
of the tobacco trust, but the United
Cigar Stores Company, at least, was
found in convincing association
with the American Cigar Company,
admittedly part of the 'trust."

C. A. Whelan, a relative of Presi
dent George Whelan of the United
Cigar Stores, has been busy in Chi
cago for several days buying cigar
stores in the down town district.
He also made several visits with B.
H. Homan, identified with the
American Cigar Company.

"No slot machines" is the war
cry of the newly organized United
Cigar Stores Company, and "no
valuable presents." Doing away
with these will mean a better class
ofgoods,according to its supporters.

J. T. Farmer's tobacco warehouse,
at Water Valley, Ky, together with

I^ANCASTSR'S REPORT.

Lancaster, Pa., Sept. i6, 1902.

The local leaf market has been
quiet throughout the past week,
so far as trading in old goods is
concerned. The final closing up of
the sale of 1,500 cases of 1900, re-
ported some weeks ago, was the
most important transaction of the
week. Numerous other sales are
being made right along, but na
specially large lot transactions are
coming to notice.

Some buying in the field is still
going on, by representatives of the
United States Cigar Co., and 7 and
2 and 8 and 2 cents are being paid.
It is variously estimated that about
500 acres have been bought in this
manner.

Packers are still busying them-
selves in sampling the new goods,
which in a majority of cases are
turning out very nice, showing a
more than usually low percentage
of damaged goods.

This year's crop is being placed
in the sheds very rapidly, and cur-
ing is progressing satisfactorily.
The several chilly nights of this
week iire hastening farmers in their
endeavors to get their crops safely
into sheds before a frost can over-
take them.

A robbery was attempted a few
nights ago at the cigar factory of
F. E. Eberle, at Stevens, this
county. Nitroglycerine was used
in trying to blow open the oflfice
safe, but the first attempt failed, and
while a second charge had been
inserted, it is believed that the
burglars became frightened and
left the premises without having
secured any booty.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

There is, so far as we have heard,
only ene single sale of the 1902
crop, and that but a small one, so
that affords no criterion for fixing
prices that will rule later on, whether
it was sold at a high or low rate,
as we known absolutely nothing of
its quality, whether good or bad.

There were frostsoveran extended
portion of northern New England
and in portions of New York, but
its effects are not visible, except in
sections of low grounds. There
some tender plants showed the ef-
fects. Happily in the tobacco dis
tricts of Massachusetts no frost has
been mentioned It was, however,
a close shave for the late tobacco
fields, sending the shivers over

favorable and those crops have
passed the pole-sweating stage in
fine condition.

Our correspondents write:
South Deerfield: "The tobacco
harvest is nearly completed, with
no damage, and is curing satisfac
torily in every particular. The
early cut is all cured, except the
stem of the leaf. Old goods move
slowly, as buyers refuse to pay fair
prices. They figure the grades at
about half the market price and get
some small crops. W. W. Sander-
son has about 275 cases. A few old
crops only remain in growers'
hand."

Northampton: "The new crop of
tobacco is nearly all housed. I have
heard that some late crops were
nipped by the slight frost of Satur-
day morning; how much I have not
heard. As a rule, the crop is a very
nice one, good growth and perfectly
sound, and is curing down in good
shape The weather for this pur- 1
pose is all that can be desired. I
have not heard of any sales."

Hadley: "The greater portion of
the tobacco was housed last week;
only a few late pieces remained out
The crop is a remarkably good one,
sound and free from damage. No
sales to report."

Whately: "The 1902 crop is
practically all cut, and is really the
best crop we ever grew. The earli
est cut is well cured, the central
stem excepted."

Granby, Ct.: "The tobacco crop
is curing down finely. The weather
for this was never more favorable.
It is of fair growth and will, we
hope, command good prices."

Feeding Hills: "Tobacco crop
nearly all harvested, and is in fine
condition, notwithstanding the back
ward season at cutting time, a good
growth."— American Cultivator.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

MAKE, MORE,
^^ M ON E Y ^ ^

The way to make more money is to
make more and better cigars in less time
and at less cost than you have heretofore
been doing.

Perhaps you do not need to be told that,
but you do need to be told and convinced
that the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table will
enable you to do all this, and that it is,
therefore, a money-maker which you cannot
afford to overlook for
another day.

By the aid of this
table you get a hand-
made cigar in the easiest
way, the quickest way,
and the most economi-
cal way.

The machine rolled
cigar is unsatisfactory, to
say the least.

The human hand
governed by a skilled
brain is the only thing
that can make good
cigars.

The reason is, that a
cigar cannot be well made
and cannot smoke well
unless the wrapper "hugs
the bunch" exactly and
tightly at every point, and unless the head is
made with the utmost care.

Machine rolled cigars have poor heads,
the wrapper does not fit, ''skippers" come
often, and the numerous ''pockets" along
the lap edge make the whole thing an inferior
product.

With the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table you
get the best possible product.

The removal of the dies and rollers in this
table does away with all previous objections to
suction tables.

The DuBrul table is very simple in mech-
anism, the cutting is done by a circular knife
which is easy to keep sharp, and there are
no dies or anything else in the way of the
operator.

It always cuts a perfect wrapper with a

clean cut edge.

There is no waste,
no wrappers getting
mashed or twisted in the
rollers and, as the cutting
mechanism swings away
after the wrapper is cut,
the operator has all the
room needed, and a wrap-
per in perfect condition
with which to do a good
piece of work.

Operators like this
table because it is simple,
and they won't leave it
for any die table.

Foremen like it be-
cause there is no sharp-
ening of dies and no
adjusting of anything.
Manufacturers like it
because it is a money-maker without an equal.
We have just issued a little book which
tells all about this table, and, why you ought
to have it. ^

This book we will be glad to send to you
if you write. Ask for booklet w. s.

Please remember that we sell the best die
table made, and can show you either style at
our offices.

Internal Revenue Liens on

Real Ustate to he

Wiped Out.

The American Bar Association
has been engaged since 1899 in an
effort to get rid of the peculiar pro-
visions of Section 3186 of the Re
vised Statutes of the United States,
which gives to the United States a
lien upon the real estate of any per-
son who at any time since the adop-
tion of the section mentioned may
have refused or neglected to pay any
internal revenue taxes due to the
government. The lien is most
NWreping in its character, and under
the decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court in the case of the United
States vs Snyder, 149, U.S. mo,
which was a tobacco case, it makes
no difference whether the title comes
to a person who knew nothing
about the default in paying internal
revenue taxes of a former owner of
the property or not, and the law
makes no provision for filing or
recording any notice to apprise in
tending purchasers or encum
brancers of the claims of the Gov-
ernment. The lien, it will be ob
served, extends to all property of
the person in default. In other
words, it a man carries on a cigar
factory in Tennessee, any delin-
quency on his part will cause the
Government to have a lien on his
property, say in New York. Ow-
ing to this comprehensive character
of the lien in the case of every title
taken anywhere in the country, the
impossible task is presented of find-
ing out whether any one in the
chain of title became indebted to
the United States, under the In-
ternal Revenue law, while holding
the property. The indebtedness
may have arisen years and years
ago, and the business may have
been conducted thousands of miles
away from the property affected.

Ever since 1899 a committee of
the American Bar Association has
been working to induce Congress
to pass a bill wiping out the obnoxi-
ous provisions of section 3186. This
committee, which is called the Com
mittee on Title to Real Estate, and
which consists of Ferdinand Shack,
of New York. John Douglass Brown,
Jr., of Philadelphia, and David L.
Withington. of San Diego, Cal.,
submitted the following report at
the meeting o» the American Bar
Association at Saratoga, on Aug.28:
"This Committee is charged with
the duty of securing legislation to
prevent the hardships to innocent
purchasers and encumbrancers ot
real estate arising under Section
3186 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States. That Section reads
as follows:

^••'"•n'i?"i^\?*^''«'^ «' ^««f Tobacco. )
Office, Mc Sherry stown. Pa. j

'If any person liable to pay
any tax neglects or refuses to
pay the same alter demand, the
amount shall be a lien in favor
of the United States from the
time when the assessment list
was received by the collector^
except when otherwise pro-
vided, until paid, with the in-
terest, penalties and costs that
may accrue in addition thereto,
upon all property and rights
to property belonging to such
person,'

and it will be recalled that in the
case of the United States vs Snyder,
149 U. S , 210, the Supreme Court
held that the lien thus created is
valid even as against a bona fide
purchaser or encumbrancer though
he have no knowledge and no means
ot knowing of the delinquency on
the part of the person from or
through whom he acquires his title
or lien. No provision for filing or
recording any notice apprising in-
tending purchasers or encum-
brancers of the claims of the Gov-
ernment is made in the statute, and
so the lien is undiscoverable The
lien is of such a comprehensive
character that it covers all the prop-
erty and rights to property of the
delinquent situated anywhere in the
United States, and so in the case of
every title taken in the United States
the impossible task is presented of
ascertaining whether anyone in the
chain ever was a delinquent in the
payment of the taxes above referred
to while holding the property
searched against. The indebted-
ness may have arisen years ago,
and the business carried on under
the internal revenue law may have
been conducted thousands of miles
away from the property affected by
this omnibus and secret lien.

"Aspreviously reported, thisCom-
mittee, in compliance with the di-
rection of the Association, prepared
a memorial, and the same was pre-
sented to each House of Congress.

"Your Committee also reported
that such memorial received the ap-
proval of the Committee (on the
amendment of the law) of the As-
sociation of the Bar of the City of
New York; of the Lawyers' TitU
Insurance Company of New York;
and of the President of the Real
Estate Title Insurance Company of
Philadelphia

"AtthesametimeyourCommittee
reported that it was of the opinion
that it would be of service in secur-
ing the end in view to authorize the
Committee to confer with oflScers
of the Government, and formulate
and advocate legislation in the
premises; and thereupon the Asso-
ciation so authorized your Com-
mittee

"Your Committee is pleased to re-
port that it has secured an expres-
sion of opinion from the Secretary
of the Treasury that he is in heart-
iest accord with the position taken
by this Association.

"Your Committee is therefore en-
courajjed to believe that with such
concurrence in our views, yourCom-
mittee will soon be able to secure
appropriate action by Congress to
prevent the hardships above re
ferred to."

Snuff Factories Raided.

Four Places In New York City

Closed and Seven IVIen

Arre8t*:d.

United States Deputy Marshals
on September 10, rnided four snuff
factories in New York city, from
which they alleged stmff without
revenue stamps had been sold.
The prisoners are Jacob Sharlin, a
deaf mute; W. Hirschberg and Sol
Weiner, from the factory of Simon
Scharlin & Son, 1 10 Division street;
Sandel Weingarten and his son,
Morris Weingarten, composing the
firm of S. Weingarten & Co., 229
Broome street; Charles Rosen, of
157 Rivington street, and Louis
Meisler, of 24 ^ and 246 Madison
street.

The value of the plants is esti-
mated at $25 000 The Marshals
seized about 100,000 pounds of
snuff in various stages of manufac-
ture.

The prisoners were held by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock for
a hearing on September 15 Schar
lin was released on parole, hail in
the case of each of the others being
fixed at $2,500. Bonds were given
by all except Meisler.

The Marshals also wished to
arrest Simon Scharlin, the head of
the Scharlin firm, but they were
told that he is very ill at his home
in Mountaindale, N. Y. He is not
in active business. He has been in
the snuff business for a generation
or more, and he was at one time a
very important factor in the tobacco
trade. Counselfor the firm promised
to produce him if he could be moved \
safely.

The raiding party was headed by
Special Treasury Agent Chailes H.
Seawell, of Chicago, who expects
to prove that there has been a reg-
ular organization in New York for
the last twenty years, which put
unstamped snuff on the market, and
that it has defrauded the Govern
ment out of at least $250 000 in
stamp taxes. Other arrests are ex-
pected.

a^e in a plain Bud distinct iiianiiei,
and some portion of the stamp was
di^closed at each end of the package
The entire stamp could be seen b)
pushing the package through tht
outside jacket, which was not
pasted to the package It was ad
vised that similar packages had
been authorized by the office.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

Pasteboard "]ackcts" for Tobacco Packages.
In passing upon a small ifi ounce
package of smoking tobacco pro-
vided with a pasteboard "jacket,"
which, when in place, covered up a
portion of the stamp affixed to the
tin foil package, was advised that
manufacturers are permitted to use
such outside jackets when they are
placed loosely on the package, and
are not so affixed as to adhere to
the package or destroy or efface any
portion of the stamp. In the case
submitted the package as stamped
could be removed from the jacket,
and the date of use and manufac
turer's name appeared on the pack-

Tax on Cigarettes.
A collector recently forwarded to
the Commissioner a package of ten
cigarettes, stamped at the rate of 54
cents per thousand, but which sold
at retail at 6 cents, or $6 per thou-
sand, and in another case a brand
paying tax at the same rate was
found on the market retailing at 10
cents per package of ten, or $10 per
thousand. In the former case the
cigarettes were made from domestic
leaf, and in the latter from imported
tobacco, but in neither did it appeal
that the wholesale price, two dollars
per thousand or less, corresponded
with the price usually paid by dealers
for such classes of cigarettes. The
office advised in both cases that tht
rate of tax must be determined by
the wholesale value of the cigarettes,
properly packed, labeled and
stamped, and that the manufacturei
must be able to sell his cigarettes in
the usual course of trade at not
more than two dollars per thousand ;
therefore it was necessary that the
transactions between the manufac-
turer and the dealer in fixing tl e
wholesale price or value of the ci-
garettes must not rest in fraud nor
any secret contract exist whereby
the manufacturer would realize
more than two dollars per thousand
for his cigarettes. It was pointed
out that it was the duty of the col-
lector to ascertain whether the
manufacturer will, in fact and in
the usual course of trade, sell his
cigarettes within the price stipulated
by the statute, and that the collector
is required to ascertain and report
to the office the trade mark name of
the cigarettes and the character of
the goods and the registered factory
number; and if he were satisfied
from his investigation that the ci
garettes would be sold at the price
stipulated, two dollars or less per
thousand, properly stamped, the
collector could sell stamps to the
manufacturer for payment of tax on
the cigarettes at the lower rate, 54
cents per thousand, but that if it
was found at any time thereafter
that the manufacturer was selling
his cigarettes at more than two
dollars per thousand, steps should
be taken to ascertain the amount of
tax due by reason of the cigarettes
being iuaufficiently stamped, and
that assessments would be made to
cover the omitted taxes.

still flooded with inquiries in regard
to the new regulations governing
the use of coupons, prize schemes,
etc., and all parties interested are
advised that the Regulations, No
8, Supplement No. 3, promulgated
July 18, 1902, concerning the con
tents of statutory packages of to-
bacco and cigars, prescribe that
manufacturers may place within
their statutory packages small ad-
vertising cards, coupons, certificates
circulars, etc., of inappreciable
weight, and which are intended as
an advertisement of their business,
and which concern the manufacture
and sale of their cigars, tobacco,
etc , and no other business.

ADVERTISEMENT OF A DEALER.

The office recently advised a col-
lector that a certificate issued by a
dealer, and which advertised his
business and not the business of a
cigar manufacturer, could not be
placed in a statutory box of cigars.

CIGARETTE HOLDERS.

The question was presented
whether a package of domestic or
imported cigarettes could have
placed therein small cigarette
holders- It was advised that pipes,
cigarette holders and other foreign
articles must be excluded from
statutory packages, both of im-
ported and domestic cigars or to-
bacco, and the acting Secretary of
the Treasury has recently advised
Collectors ol Customs to make no
deliveries or releases of packages
of imported cigarettes containing
foreign articles or articles other than
the cigarettes and small advertising
cards, until such articles are with-
drawn from the packages.

EXCHANGE OF COUPONS.

A manufacturer submitted a small
coupon advertising his product,
and indicating that on return of a
number of coupons to him he would
exchange other articles described
on the coupor to dealers or con-
sumers. The coupon showed that
it had some special value and that
the distribution of the prizes men-
tioned on the card would not be
distributed by lot or chance. The
card also advertised his particular
brand of tobacco; and as his name,
location and registered factory num-
ber appeared on the card, he was
advised that the latter was not ob-
jectionable and could be placed by
him in his statutory packages.

RETURN OF COUPONS TO OTHER
PERSONS.

Another manufacturer was ad-
vised that the manufacturer's name
and address, and his registered fac-
tory number, must appear on each
coupon; and if intended to adver-
tise the goods, the trade mark name
also may appear on the coupon;
that coupons, cards, certificates and
other printed matter advertising the
business of other persons, or other

business, would not be within the
limitations of the regulations; but
that if such coupons conform in all
respects to the regulations, the man-
ufacturer whose name appears thera-
on may direct that the coupons may
be returned to some other person
designated by him on the card, and
that they could be exchanged by
him for other articles, provided the
distribution of other articles did not
depend upon the advent of a lottery.

Porto Rican Cigars.
By a recent order of the Treasury
Department Porto Rican cigars may
be forwarded by the customs service
at one port to the Collector of Cus-
toms at any other port in the United
States under a special manifest on
receipt of advice from the Collector
of Internal Revenue that the requi-
site stamps have been purchased
from him or that a bond securing
the tax has been lodged with him.

An importer of Porto Rican cigars
reported that the boxes which con-
tained his cigars were not such as
would accord a ready sale of the
goods; therefore he had not stamped
them and they remained in the cus-
tody of the customs service, and
asked the privilege of repacking the
cigars in other boxes, which would
be properly stamped, and the privi-
lege of returning the emptied boxes
to the maker of the cigars in Porto
Rica to be re- used in packing cigars.
He was adv'sed that there was no
objection to his cigars being re-
packed in new boxes before they
were relea^>ed by the customs ser-
vice, provided that service did not
object to having the goods re-
packed under the supervision of
some officer connected with the ser-
vice. Further, that the act ap-
proved April 12, 1900, required
that the boxes should be properly
stamped, but that the importer or
owner of the goods was not required
to label or brand the boxes. There-
fore, the provisions of Sees. 3393
and 3397 of the Revised Statutes,
requiring the manufacturers in the
United States to label and brand
their boxes, do not apply to Porto
Rican cigars; further, that emptied
boxes, bearing no label, brand or
stamp, could be reshipped to Porto
Rico and again used by manufac-
turers there for packing their ci-
gars, provided there was no revenue
law enacted by the Legislative As-
sembly of Porto Rico prohibiting
such re use of the boxes.

A Tobacco Moistener,

"A lemon," says a tobacconist,
is a far better tobacco moistener
than a sponge Take a lemon, slice
a piece off each end and put it in
your tobacco box, if you want to
keep your cigars or smoking mix-
ture in nice shape. A good, juicy

lemon will sometimes last a couple
of mouths as a moistener, and it im
parts to the tobacco an added frag
ranee. The beauty about the lemon
as a moistener is that it doesn'i
mildew in the way a sponge does
The latter, you know, when left
water soaked rots and gives out an
unpleasant odor. Some people I've
told about the use of lemons as
moisteners have tried oranges as
well, and assure me that either Iruit
will answer. One of my customers
keeps a lemon, orange and piece of
apple in his tobacco jar, and he says
that the fruit keeps the tobacco
moist and soft and gives it a de-
lightful flavor. The lemon and
orange are, of course, sliced at each
end."

him for his scratching post, because
it is to this great man's initiative
that the smoking of cigars in public
is owing. Listen :

The very flower of the youth of
England, up from Oxford and Cam-
bridge for the long vacation, was
assembled in Hyde Park, London,
one brilliant morning in July, in
the year of grace 1840.

Fine young men every one of
them, and several of them afterward
famous in the history of their
country. At their head was our
Duke of Argyll, Scotland's premier
peer, afterward the father-in-law of
the Princess Louise. Then there
was John Howard, Duke of Nor-
folk, England's premier peer, and
in the gathering were Cecils, and
Gowers, and Beauchamps and Bal-
fours, bearers, in short, of most of
the famous names in English story.

In their eyes was that look of
resolute determination which the
fathers, or the brothers, or the
uncles, or the cousins of these young
men, and these young men them-
selves, in fact, had carried, or were

The Late Duke of Argyll,
Whose memory should be dear to all lovers of smokers' rights.

own, but instantly followed by a
smile of tender forgiveness. The
battle had been fought and won,
and each side afterward claimed
the victory. To their mammas and
their other elderly relations the
young women put the case very
plainly. They weren't going to
lose their sweethearts merely be-
cause their sweethearts chose to
smoke in Hyde Park. Rather a
sweetheart with a cigar than no
sweetheart at all. That's what it
meant, they said, and so they carried
the day, and that very evening
every tobacco lover in London who
had lighted his cigar in the park in
the morning received as warm a
welcome as usual from the maiden
of his heart.

But, pray do not underestimate
the importance of the battle that
had been fought. It was a real
battle, for all it was bloodless and
so soon over. It had consequences
vastly more far- reaching than those
of Gettysburg or any other of the
world's most sanguinary fields, for
it settled for all time a principle
dear to every human heart, that
principle namely which stands for
the right of every self-respecting
man to indulge in public a harmless
and congenial taste.

If the battle of Hyde Park had
not been fought, if cigar lovers of

Merriani*s Welcome Home.
John W. Merriam, of the Roy-
croft Segar Shop, got home from
his European vacation on Septem-
ber 12, and has been busy ever since
responding to the welcoming greet-
ings of his friends. The "boys"
who are Mr. Merriam 's daily asso-
ciates at the bign of the Bull Dog
in Maiden Lane, New York, pre-
sented him with a gorgeous bank
of flowers bearing the inscription
"we give you the glad "^a." John
E. Wilkie, chief of the Government
Secret Service Department, broke
out into verse — very respectable
and readable verse — in honor of Mr.
Merriam 's home coming. This is
the song sung by Mr. Wilkie's
muse:

TO JOHN W. MERRIAM.

God bless you John ! you're home,

I see.
From travel on the "Continong;"
Back to the land of Brave and Free
From lands of story and of song —
From Vaterland and Gay Paree,
From Anvers, Wien and chic "Boo-
long!"
From where for "yes" you say "O

wee!"
Instead of "Waiter!" shout "Gar-
song
Instead of

But feasting was an incident —
That I can see with half an eye —
You found some shops where e'er

you went.
And, strangely, could not pass

them by.
They tell me taste is heaven sent
And happy he who knows what's

what.
That being so, 'tis evident
That yours must be a happy lot.
In taste you're Johnny on-the-spot.
That you, old man, remembered me
In picking up some souvenirs
Has knocked me up; and really
I now am filled with sick'ning fears
That if I hope to wear the wrap,
And dress in harmony complete,
I'll have to get the tailor chap
To rig me out from head to feet.
You've made my old togs obsolete
I feel no wonder now to know
The Coronation was delayed
To have you present at the show.
And Edward surely felt repaid.
You saw it all; and cables told
How you and Madame M. were

there;

You with a coronet of gold.
And she with diamonds in her hair.
You both were "in it" everywhere
But when your steamer plowed her

way

JOHN E. WILKIE.
Washington, September 16, 1902.

To a Tobacco World reporter
Mr. Merriam said that what struck
him most in his tour of Europe was
the difl&culty of getting a good ci-
gar. Imported cigars are on sale
in numerous shops in England,
France and Germany, but the home-
made cigars in each of those
countries are, on the average, very
poor. In Paris imported cigars are
sold in bundles of six or more each;
they are never sold singly as in this
country.

English manufacturers turn out
remarkably high grades of smoking
tobacco, and Englishmen who live
much in the open air are the great
est of pipe smokers. One of the
most remarkable shops in London,
says Mr. Merriam, is that of H. L.
Savory, -at 59 Piccadilly. Mr.
Savory caters to the swaggerest
people in England. This retail
store is a tiny place and Mr. Savory
receives many of his customers on
the sidewalk. Prices are rarely dis-
cussed between them. Mr. Savory
confines himself to a statement as

New ^* Coupon of Value** hist

The revised factory and descrip-
tive price list, eflfective on and
after September 15, issued by the
Continental Tobacco Company, is
interesting to all handlers of the
products of that company and its
allied corporations.

"A "coupon of value" is now
attached to the certificate (redeem-
able for $1.50 in cash on each 500
cigars) given with purchases of the
Florodora, Childs, Cremo and
Cubanola cigars. This coupon en-
titles the purchaser to ten estimates
for the $142,500 distribution of the
Florodora Tag Co. When sent to
the Florodora Tag Co. with esti-
mates, a receipt is sent for the cou
pon. These receipts for coupons,
bands from cigars and tags from to
bacco, such as are good in securing
presents, are then redeemable, as
follows: For 250 tags a box of 50 of
either Childs, Cremo or Cubanola
cigars. Two cigar bands will count
as one tag under the above offer.
Beginning on the 2d inst. the Amer-
ican Tobacco Co. attach to each
carton of 500 Tolstoi Russian, Volga
Russian and Tolstoi No. 2 cigarettes
5 packages of Minaret cigarettes,
IDS, gratis. In order to get quick
distribution of the Cannon cigar-
ettes, the American Tobacco Co. are
attaching to each carton of jooSweet
Caporal cigarettes 4 packages of
Cannon cigarettes, los, gratis. The
price of Cannon cigarettes will be
f 1.95 per M., less the usual 2 per
cent, in ten days. Seal of North
Carolina plug cut is now being
packed in a new i ounce pocket
pouch at 62 cents per pound. For
a limited time one of these new
pouches will be packed gratis with
each pound of Seal of North Caro-
lina plug-cut, of all sizes and styies
of packing, including the new one.
This, however, is subject to the ex-
ception that if the tobacco is ordered
in 2% pound cartons, two packages
only of the i -ounce pouch will be
packed gratis in each carton. The
I ounce pouch is to retail at five
cents. During September and Octo-
ber a special allowance of three cents
per pound on all Duke's Mixture
purchased direct from the Metro
politan Tobacco Co. "will be made by
them; subject to the condition that,
at the same time, with each five
pounds of Duke's Mixture either

one of the following purchases be
made: 250 Old Virginia Cheroots,
250 Royal Bengal Little Cigars, or
five pounds of some one of the fol
lowing granulated smoking tobac-
cos: Seal of N. C , Greenback,
Meerschaum, Hunting, Huntress,
Victory (2^-ounce) Drum or Uncle
Ned (2^ ounce only). Further-
more, an additional one cent per
pound will be paid to any purchaser
who covers his entire purchases
during the two months with one or
more of the beforenamed brands.

dubious.

Shade Growing Stock
Schemes,

New York, Sept. 14, 1902.
Dear Medicine Man :

Almost every one of the Sunday
papers to day contains an advertise-
ment inviting the public to sub
scribe for the shares of stock, at
$100 par, of a company which has
been formed to grow Sumatra to-
bacco under shade at a certain
place in Connecticut. The adver-
tisement alleges that shade grown
Connecticut Sumatra sells in the
market at $: per pound, and that,
on this account, the company will
probably pay dividends of 40 per
cent. This is very illuring, but is
it true? Prospectuses are always
glittering things, and those of the
stock selling schemers are particu
larly so. I have a little money to
invest, and for that reason I ask you
to be so very kind as to counsel me
in this matter. Investor.

Answer.

If you can really spare a few
hundred dollars for a gamble you
would perhaps do better to take
your money to the race track
Shade grown Connecticut Sumatra
does not sell at an average of $2 a
pound nor anything like it. I, too,
saw the advertisements in last Sun
day's papers which you describe,
and on Monday I by chance met
two well known members of the
New England Tobacco Growers'
Association with each of whom I
discussed this shade growing stock
scheme. The men in Connecticut
who have the practical work of the
company named in the advertise-
ment in hand are well known.
Neither of them has behind him a
record of success either as a handler
or a grower of leaf tobacco, and the
lands upon which the tent grown

No Fakery in the Great
Estimating Contest.

W1NSTON-SAI.EM, N. C, Sept. 18, '02.
Dear Medicine Man:

Down here in North Carolina we
are all figuring on the estimating
contest advertised by the Florodora
Tag Company, of Jersey City, N. J.
Those of us who take the Tobacco
World are very grateful to you for
your guide to guessers published
last month. The way you figure
out that a guess of somewhere
around 494,300,000 as the output of
cigars paying the $3 internal rev-
enue tax during the month of De
cember is very enlightening.

I should end my letter to you
with this compliment, which I think
you have merited, but for one fact —
certain people here have been heard
to say that the big prizes in this
$142 500 distribution will go to
someone on the "inside"; that the
whole thing is "fixed." They al-
lege that it will be possible for the
American Cigar Company to so ar-
range things that the December out-
put will be known in advance to a
favored number of its friends, or
stockholders, or officers, who will
then send in the guess that will
carry off the big money. It is possi
ble that among some of the com-
petitors of the American Cigar Com-
pany and others variously opposed
to that corporation, there are those
who in this manner succeed in de-
terring people from entering the
estimating contest, but is it possible
that what they say is true? Is it
within the power of any one, or a
number of manufacturers of cigars,
to pad December's output in such a
way as to give favored persons an
unfair advantage over the general
public? Otto Winn.

! Answer.

I hope you will win, Otto, and I
am quite sure that no one connected
with the American Cigar Company
will resent it if you do.

I am no "devil's advocate," and
my passion is not to decry enterprise
but to encourage it. The $142,500
prize offer of the Florodora Tag
Company is a manifestation of en-
terprise so novel as to be almost
startling. It is a good thing in ev-
ery way, and especially as a means
of educating the public into an un-
derstanding of the magnitude and
the steady development of the cigar
industry of the United States. I
predict that by the first of next
December the people of this coun-
try will have such a knowledge of
this industry as they never had be
fore. The advertising methods de-
vised and prosecuted by the Ameri-

can Cigar Company and its allied
corporations appear to result not
only to its own profit but also to
that of the whole trade, for during
the twenty months that have elapsed
since the American Cigar Company
bought out the business of Powell,
Smith & Co., of New York, the
growth of the cigar manufacturing
business of the whole country has
been not only steady but phenom-
enal, and I am free to say that if
the output of cigars next December
shall be in just proportion to this
progress, my estimate of a total pro-
duction in that month of somewhere
around 494 300,000 will be many mil-
lions below par. But I reflect that
December is always a poor month,
for I know that manufacturers work
in October and November to aupply
the December demand, and that
they are usually busy in December
in taking inventories and in "clean-
ing house" for the business of the
ensuing year.

I say, without the slightest fear
of being afterward shown to have
been in error, that it would be utter-
ly impossible for any manufacturer
or combination of manufacturers to
pad out, or otherwise arrange the
December output so as to give
friends any advantage over the gen-
eral public. If ever there was a
free for all contest this $142,500
offer is that. It may be, and yet
this is most doubtful, that the big
prize of $5,000 will go to some ex-
pert mathematician, or to some one
of the authors of the Comic History
of Tobacco; it may be carried off
by some member of President Roose-
velt's Cabinet in Washington; a
clergyman may win it, or a boot-
black; a school boy or a shop girl,
but whoever gets it will get it be-
cause he is a good guesser and for
no other reason on earth. If it
were possible to do any "funny
business" in this matter I should
think that those who decry it would
point the finger of suspicion not at
the gentlemen who have their of-
fices at III Fifth avenue. New
York, but at the clerks in the office
of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue in Washington, where the
figures of the monthly output of ci
gars are constantly accessible. But
even those clerks are as much at
sea as everybody else is. The peo-
ple who are to parcel out that $142,-
500 among themselves are to do so
because they will be lucky, merely
lucky, and not because they have
any guilty foreknowledge of what
the December output is to be.

One word more, Otto Winn; bear
in mind that to estimate correctly
you must guess the government's
official figures of the number of ci-
gars upon which the three dollar
per 1,000 internal revenue tax will
be paid during the month of Decem-

ber, 1902, and that this includes
stogies, cheroots and all "little ci-
gars" which weigh more than 3
pounds to the i ,000, and which go
to the consumer in packages of 5 or
10, and each of which is therefore
to be counted as an individual cigar.

Sumatra at the Fall
Inscriptions,

An Amsterdam correspondent,
whose letter did not reach me until
September 16, four days after the
first fall inscription had taken place,
says:

"I have inspected 14,000 of the
19,687 bales which are to go under
the hammer on September 12.
These tobaccos are very disappoint-
ing, in fact they are much poorer
than those offered at the last sale
before the vacation. I had not ex-
pected them to show such a great
falling off in character and style.

"The greater part of this tobacco
is of common style and the different
parcels do not contain, in my judg-
ment, a single lot that is suitable
for the American market, and strict-
ly light tobaccos are not at all repre-
sented. I am speaking, of course,
only of the 14 000 bales I have in-
spected.

Tiedemann's History ot
Tobacco.

St. Louis, September 19, 1902
Dear Medicine Man.

Can you tell me where I can pur-
chase a copy of Tiedemann's Ges-
chichte des Tabaks, and also please
give me your critical opinion of this

1 work. EDUCATION.

I Answer.

I Gustav E. Stechert, of 8 10 Broad-
I way. New York, will probably be
able to supply you with a copy.

Tiedemann's History of Tobacco
was published at Frankfort on the
Main, Germany, in 1854. It is
standard as to the history of tobacco
in Europe up to 1854, but it has no
other value. The Medicine Man.

Pyramids vs. Pyramid,

Litigation has arisen over the
word Pyramid as a trademark for
cigarettes between the Universal To-
bacco Company, as plaintiff, and
the Cork Tip Cigarette Company, of
New York, as defendant. Sometime
ago, Wise & Lichtenstein, counsel
for the Cork Tip Cigarette Co. , wrote
the Universal Tobacco Company re-
questing them to discontinue the
use of the word Pyramids, alleging
that their clients were already man-
ufacturing cigarettes under the trade-
mark Pyramid. The Universal To-
bacco Company responded by bring-
ing a suit for $2,000 damages and
an injunction against the Cork Tip
Cigarette Company. The case is to
be tried in the U. S Circuit Court
for the Southern District of New
York.

The Vile Cigars of Greece.

King George the Only Customer
Havana has In Athens.

Athens, Aug. 23, 1902
Dear Quakers and Knickerbockers:

Imagine a city full of intelligent
people who know nothing of cigars
and very little of cigarettes. That
is a description of Athens and the
Athenians. Yet Athens is in every
way a city well worth coming to see.
The modern Greeks are an amiable
people, and their king and his sons
are very fine fellows.

I have smoked the cigarettes the
Athenians smoke and I live to tell
the tale. I have once or twice tried
to smoke a Greek cigar, and I de-
liberately pronounce this article of
merchandise the fiercest tobacco
atrocity that was ever perpetrated.
The leaf out of which it is made is
rank and coarse, and the workman-
ship simply deplorable. Yet the
Greeks smoke their native cigarettes
and cigars and seem to thrive on
them, which is proof, I think, that
they are indeed the descendants of
antique heroes and demigods.

The shops in Athens in which ci-
gars and cigarettes are sold are
dingy and uninviting, and the shop
keepers, I regret to say, are a hope-
lessly unenterprising and uninterest-
ing lot. It is impossible to get an
imported cigar even in the best
hotels in Athens, and yet these es-
tablishments cater to travelers of the
most cultivated tastes, for Athens is
too far out of the beaten highways
to attract the average globe trotter.
Most of the visitors who come so
far as Athens are those to whom
"the glory that was Greece" is a
familiar story. These well read
people are accustomed at their
homes in the United States or
Europe to good cigars and cigar
ettes, and their fate is pitiable if
they have come to Athens without
a supply of their own, for in Athens
such things are unobtainable — un-
less one is so very fortunate as to be
on friendly terms with those ofiicers
of King George's household who
know where the King keeps his ci-
gars. King George is not only the
best businessman in all Greece, but
he is also a cigar connoisseur of the
first rank, and his stock of imported
cigars is constantly kept at high-
water mark. If one has the right
footing at the palace one may buy a
box of the King's cigars now and
then, otherwise one will have to do
without tobacco while in Athens or
else make a martyr of one's stomach
and put up with the native weeds.

A recent guest at the Hotel de

Grande Bretagne in Athens, was Mr.
Leo Harburger, formerly of the well-
known cigar manufacturing firm of
Harburger, Homan & Co., of New
York. I did not meet Mr. Harbur-
ger, but when I learned he had been
here I could not help regretting that
he is now a rich man and retired.
Athens needs a young Leo Har-
burger to teach the Athenians a
lesson in the way of cigarmaking.
The right sort of Leo Harburger
should be able to make a fortune in
Athens. The Greeks are perfectly
willing to smoke good cigars, and
they have plenty of money to pay
for them.

Benjamin Franklin Vanastor.

Marble Sbow Cards.

If you have a cigar which is a
success and which satisfies your
customers as well as it satisfies your-
self, the propriety of advertising it
on your walls in a permanent way
will probably suggest itself to you.
The American Diamond Blast Co.,
of 40 Exchange Place, New York,
manufactures marble show cards,
which are as novel as they are at-
tractive. The names of the brand
and itsmanufacturersor distributers,
as well as any other wording that
may be desired, are cut out as
sharply as the most expert marble
cutter could do it by hand by a sand
blast process invented and patented
by the American Diamond Blast
Co., and the work is, of course, very
much cheaper than hand work.
These marble show cards come in

j any desired shape or size and of
various thicknesses. They are made
either of Tennessee or Italian

j marble. The oflacers of the com-
pany are Col. Chas. H. Ettinger,

j President; Jos. Shaver, Vice Presi-

1 dent; Jacques Levy, Jr., Treasurer,
and Julius Herzog, Secretary; Wise
& Lichtenstein, Counsel.

Edward A. Kerbs Back.

Edward A. Kerbs, of the United
Cigar Manufacturers, returned on
the Kronprinz Wilhelm on Septem-
ber 16, from a six months' stay in
Europe. Mr. Kerbs secured a large
quantity of Sumatra for his company
while in Amsterdam.

The United Cigar Manufacturers,
on September 16, opened a branch
cigar factory at Perth Am boy, N.
J. The company now has fifteen
cigar factories in full operation.

A recent report that the Butler &
Bosher Tobacco Co., of Richmond,
Va., had been sold out to the Im-
perial Tobacco Co. is emphatically
denied by the Butler & Bosher
people.

Peter Doerhoefer Dead.

Peter Doerhoefer, the Nestor of
the tobacco industry of Louisville,
Ky., died of pneumonia at his home
there on the morning of September
18, in the 87th year of his age.

Starting life as a poor tobacco
worker, he had amassed an estate
valued at over $1,000,000. He
leaves five sons, all of whom are
reported to be millionaires. Two
of the sons, John and Basil Doer-
hoefer, were until recently Directors
in the American and Continental
Tobacco Companies.

Mr. Doerhoefer was born eighty-
six years ago at Frankfort on the-
Main, in Germany. He married
Miss Katherine Siebel, and in 1851
came to America with his family
and settled in New Albany, where
he first opened a butcher's shop.
Later he engaged in the manufac
ture of plug tobacco in a modest
way. In 1861 Mr. Doerhoefer
moved to Louisville and continued
the manufacture of plug tobacco.
His sons worked in the shop with
him and got their start with a prac-
tical knowledge of the business.
Eighteen years ago Mr. Doerhoefer
retired from active business.

High Praise tor ''La Toco."

The "La Toco" brand of clear
Havana cigars, manufactured at
Tampa, Fla., by the La Toco Manu-
facturing Company, is meeting with
remarkably high praise from cigar
connoisseurs in New York and else-
where. It appears to be winning its
way strictly on merit.

A wealthy New York cigar lover
to whom price is no object, indeed,
to whom the fact that a cigar is high
priced is a recommendation rather
than anything else — said the other
day, after trying a "La Toco" which
had been presented to him by a
friend, that this was undoubtedly
the finest cigar he had ever smoked
in his life.

Holiday Labels Ripe,

The new stock labels of the Amer-
ican Lithographic Company are now
ready for the holiday trade, and this
year'scropisuncommonly attractive.
This is particularly true of the label
called "Cheekawgo" which shows
a remarkably strong Indian face
against a characteristic background.
The drawing is spirited, the color-
ing exquisite and the embossing
very clean.

Another beautiful label is "On
The Wing" which shows a mallard
duck rising from the water at the
crack of the hunter's rifle.

The "Compliments Of The Sea-
son" label shows the face of a clock
on a vermilion ground specked with
snowflakes, and green on the rim
with Christmas holly.

Another label called "Miss Butte"
shows the face of a girl far prettier
than that of the literary young per-
son who has recently made Butte,
Montana, famous.

Sutter Bros\ Havana Page.

The full page card of Sutter Bros.,
Inc., advertising their Havana leaf,
is one of the most artistic of the
entire series.

Sutter Bros, are large packers
and importers of Havana, and their
holdings are well worthy of inspec-
tion.

Connecticut Wrappers tor

the West.
Broker Normie Salomon, of New
York, city, said on Saturday last
that he had been instrumental in
selling 300 cases of medium and
dark 1901 Connecticut wrappers to
a house in the West.

"Xa Verdad" Trademark in
Dispute,

The Ron, Fernandez Cigar Com-
pany, of Duluth, and the firm of
Simon Batt & Co., of New York,
are having a legal tilt over the right
to use the name "La Verdad" as a
trademark for a brand of cigars.
The New York firm claims to have
the right to use the trademark, al-
leging that it has used the same
since 1887.

It has brought suit against the
Duluth firm to restrain it from us-
ing the trademark and the Duluth
firm has brought a counter suit to
prevent the New York firm from
using it.

TheGwynn,Henriquez & Steven-

firm name to Henriquez, Stevenson
& Co., for the sake of brevity.
They have already entered upon an
active fall campaign, and the several
new salesmen, who were referred to
in these columns several weeks ago,
kave started on the road. They
are J. S. Valentine, a veteran cigar
salesman who was for many years
with T. J. Dunn & Co., this city,
and E. M. Leavens, who has been
traveling for some time among the
trade in the Southern States, and
will continue in that territory.

Joseph C. Heymann, of T. J.
Dunn & Co., is expected to return
from his wedding tour some time
this week . The firm has j ust added
an additional salesman to their force,
in the person of Joseph Mayer, who
was for many years with the Juan
F. Portuondo Cigar Manufacturing
Co. of this city. Mr. Mayer will
cover the trade in the Southern
States.

An ambitious window display of
the Ben Ali Turkish cigarettes,
made by the Knubel Tobacco Co.,
of New York, is being shown this
week in the bulk window of M.
Goldberg, Seventh and Arch streets.
This display is one of several which
are being shown throughout this
city.

It will be some time before the
United Cigar Stores Co. will be
ready to take possession of their
store at Thirteenth and Market
streets. It is said on good authority
that at least one of the places which
had been partially leased by them
has been abandoned, it being re-
garded as an unsatisfactory location.

ing ill at Cleveland, is said to have
improved to such an extent that his
friends are now hopeful that no
serious turn is likely to occur, and
that with increased improvement he
will be able to be about again in a
comparatively short time.

The La Hilda Cigar Co. is mak-
ing some improvements at its fac-
tory headquarters, 321 Chestnut
street.

Frank Teller, of Frank Teller &
Co., has just been covering the

trade in the West, and is fairly well
pleased with the conditions as he
found them.

Duncan & Moorhead are extend-
ing their sales department on their
Marcello Key West cigar very
much. Mr. Ashburner, with this
house, has this week started on a
business trip, and will cover Penn-
sylvania, New York state and
Western points.

Morris Lowenhaupt has been
here recently in the interest of
Cuesta, Rey & Co., of Tampa and
New York.

Doings in the Leaf Trade.

Visiting leaf salesmen were in
considerable prominence here dur-
ing the past week, but business,
however, does not seem to be so

plentiful.

v%

D. E. Salomon, of W. Ditten-
hoefer & Co., left with "pack and
sack" yesterday for a week's outing
among the cigar manufacturers of
Pennsylvania.

L. G. Haeussermann has just
written his house here from Amster-
dam, Holland, where he will attend
several inscriptions of Sumatra to
bacco.

M. B. Arndt, withJ.Hirschberg
& Bro., is again on the road, and
sent his last report from St. Louis,
where a fair share of business was

done.

Visitors in the leaf trade during
the week included Max Herzog, of
P. Dennerlein & Sons, D. Kolber-
man, with J. Lichtenstein & Co.,
Chas. Lederman, of Chas. Leder-

A Pennsylvania Leaf Establishment.

i i

The above cut is an illustration
of the establishment of B. S. Taylor,
at Yoe, Pa.

Mr. Taylor has been engaged in
the cigar manufacturing trade for
some years, but of late has giving
special attention to the leaf tobacco
business, and has become the largest
handler of leaf tobacco in his sec-
tion of York county, supplying
manufacturers for many miles
around. He handles every variety
of leaf, both domestic and imported.

and so arranges his stock that he
can accommodatehiscustomerswith
anything that they may want, in
large or small quantities.

Some months ago the present
building was completed, and has
given him greatly increased facili-
ties in conducting a rapidly grow-
ing business.

In addition to the principal ware
house, which is of good size, and
commodious in every way, Mr. Tay-
lor also has storage facilities in ad
joining building.

Lionel Simpson 111,

Lionel Simpson, a well known
cigar salesman, and for many years
with the firm of Morris Jacoby &
Co., of New York city, is reported
to be dangerously ill of Bright 's dis-
ease of the kidneys.

Max Adler Back,

Max Adler of the firm of Leonard
Friedman & Co., returned from
Europe on the steamer Zeeland on
Sunday last. Mr. Adler has enough
tan on his cheeks to stock a shoe
factory, and an embonpoint that
would make an alderman green with
envy. He says he got them both at
a summer resort in Switzerland
where there were no trees, only sun
and air and go;?d food. He says he
got rid of his embonpoint in his
morning exercise but took it on
again in the evening. He says he
is now prepared to receive his
American trade and sell them selec-
tions out of the fine Sumatra he
bought in Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam.

Clarence Felt and E. N. Cole
have opened a new cigar factory at
Mason City, la., under the firm
name of Felt & Cole. Both were
formerly in the employ of Dimmick
& Wrate, of the same place.

LANCASTER'S REPORT.

Lancaster, Pa. , Sept. 23, 1902.

The local leaf market has been
fairly active during the past week,
and fair trading has been the rule.
The noticeable improvement in the
cigar manufacturing trade of this
and adjoining counties, has been
beneficial to our leaf dealers, who
did a satisfactory volume of busi-
ness.

The county fair which was held

here last week was largely attended,
and our enterprising retailers were
benefited.

The packers who have not already
given their attention to buying the
new crop, are still busy sampling,
which is coming out generally satis-
factory. It has thus far developed
less than the usual amount of dam
aged goods.

The farmers are housing the new
crop as rapidly as possible, although
at this writing there is still con-
siderable in the field, but by the end
of the present week it will have
been pretty well taken CKre of.

The buying of the new crop is
continuing, and it is conservatively
estimated that about 2,000 acres
have been contracted for by repre
sentatives of the United Cigar Man
ufacturers. The prevailing price
has been 8 and a cents, though

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand-work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers. *v It is also the only self-
sharpenlng machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
itruction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
ehint on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can b«
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine offered.

Trade in Reading,

Frank Ream, cigar manufacturer,
placed a new nickel brand on the
market, last week, called the City
Rusher. He reports business brisk.

Julius G. Hansen returned last
week from a three months' tour of
Europe. He was accompanied by
his wife. They visited all of the
points of interest in France, Switzer-
land, Germany, Austria and Hol-
land. Mr. Hansen says he is thor-
oughly glad to get home.

Levi Berger, cigar manufacturer
at Bernville, is enjoying a large
business at present. He secured
two cigarmakers in Reading last
week, to help him over the present
busy spell.

James T. Stanton placed a new
brand on the market several days
ago, called the Neversink Special.
The label on the lid of the cigar box
contains a picture of "Dan," the
favorite old horse of the Neversink
Fire Company, which was chloro-
formed several months ago, owing
to old age.

H. D. Hackaman, cigar manu-
facturer at Womelsdorf, occupied
his newly-remodelled home on West
High street last week, which pre-
sents a handsome appearance. Mr.
Hackaman 's factory is very busy at

present.

P. H. Hildebrand, cigar manu-

fa'^turer, has returned from an ex-
tensive business trip to Boston,
Mass., and Nantasket Beach. He
secured a number of large orders for
his Colonial Orator, a leading nickel
brand he manufactures. He reports
business good.

Newcomet & Newcomet, cigar
manufacturers, at 1138 Franklin
street, says that they have enough
orders on hand to keep their hands
busy until late in the fall. Their
latest brand on the market is a ten-
cent cigar named The New-Comet.
J. Luther Goodhart is getting up
a new brand which he will place on
the market very shortly. It will be
f^l fY^Ck t*0 named The Three Goodies, repre-

^•l^^l O senting Mr. Goodhart's three inter-

esting sons, Ralph, Richard and
Luther, aged six, four and two
years respectively. The label will
bear the portraits of the children. It
will be a nickel cigar, and will be
Mr. Goodhart's leader.

The Fleck Cigar Company is ad-
vertising for additional cigarmakers
and strippers. The former they say
are scarce. Large daily shipments
of the Eastern Buflfalo and Smoke
House cigars are made. The firm

Nashville Pa, \^^y ^^^^^ ^s an increased output for

' this year over the same period in
1 90 1, and that they have no cause
to complain.

Tex., writes home that he is meet-
ing with considerable success. He
says that his ten cent cigar, a new
one, styled the Texas Shriner, is
making a big hit in the Lone Star
State, and that there is a big de-
mand for it.

Isaac J. Goldsmith and Joseph
Keller, under thefirm name of Gold-
smith & Keller, have embarked in
the cigar manufacturing business
at 749 Penn street. They conduct
a wholesale and retail business, and
have equipped their store room in •
a handsome manner. The factory
is connected with long distance
'phone. The firm makes a specialty
of the G. & K. brand in five and
ten cent sizes, and will soon have a
new brand for distribution, called
Goldie's Bouquet. Mr. Goldsmith
was formerly engaged in the cloth-
ing business. Mr. Keller is a cigar-
maker of long experience. He was
foreman of a number of factories,
and carried on business for himself
for some time. The firm has opened
a branch store at 1043 Green street.
Both are young men, and have the
best wishes of many friends.

to fittingly celebrate the occasion

Some good reports are coming
from cigar manufacturers in South

of Spy, states that he is having
about all the orders that can be
filled promptly.

A. C. Frey, of Red Lion, has
taken possession of his new factory
building.

B. F. Abel, of Hellam, is also
erecting an elegant new cigar fac-
tory, which will be the largest in
the place. It is 30x60 feet, three
stories high, and built of brick. It
will be ready for occupancy by
November i.

Several attractive window dis-
plays are being made in this city
this week of the Mogul Egyptian

E. B. Stoner, a leaf packer at

Hellam, sampled his packing of the

1 90 1 crop this week, and found it
in a highly satisfactory condition.
He had only a few cases to repack.
There are several hundred cases in
the packing.

The market has ruled quiet at
unchanged prices with no public
offerings: all sales private and of
specialstyles. The stocks arelargely
of medium and good long leafy to
baccos, the character of which will
not appear in the new crop more
than 5 to 10 per cent. These to-
baccos should sell freely at present
market prices, as the crop is largely
leaf of short to medium lengths. I

The frost of the 12th and 13th did
some damage on low lands, and was
quite severe in some localities. The
most damage, in my opinion, was
done by planters cutting green to-
bacco to prevent frost- bite, as green
tobacco is no better nor as good as
ripe frosted tobacco. The bulk of
the crop is housed on account of
frost scare.

Buying in Wisconsin.

The buying of the new tobacco
crop that has been going on in the
Vernon county district, Wis., for a
month has extended during the
week into the southern growing
counties. Buyers are riding freely
in nearly all the growing sections.
Several eastern buyers have come
into the field and the American Ci-
gar Company has its buyers out in
many localities.

In the aggregate contracts have
been placed for a good many hun-
dred acres. The bulk of the sales
range about 8 cents, with an occa-
sional trade at a less figure. The
growers are not particularly anxious
to sell at these prices. Lately prices
have been running from 8 to i2}4c.

During the past week the Amer-
ican Cigar Company has started its
buyers in Dane county, and a great
many contracts are being made.
The majority of the contracts made
in this section are around 8c for
wrapper and binder goods.
Edi(erton.

The tobacco harvest about Edger-
ton is about completed. The crop
is of large growth and has gone into
the curing sheds well matured and
of as sound and perfect leaf as is
often harvested. None of the crop
seems in any danger of being over-
taken by frost this season. The
weather for curing in the sheds so

far has been entirely satisfactory.
Contracts for possibly 1,000 acres
have been placed at prices ranging
from 10 to i2>^ cents per pound.
These figures are somewhat under
those paid for the tobacco in the
same district last year.
Janesvillc.
The tobacco crop of 1902 in Wis-
consin is practically all in the sheds,
there being less than 10 per cent,
remaining in the fields. With an-
other week of good weather the re-
mainder of the crop will have been
harvested. Frosts have been so
light as to cause no damage to the
tobacco in the fields. Every section
has been visited by the buyers, of
whom there are fifty riding in all
growing sections. Prices in this
county will average about 7 cents,
ranging from 6 to 10 cents a pound.

The Chicago War.

The Chicago branch of the Cigar
Dealers' Association of America
met in the Great Northern Hotel
last week, and decided upon some
plans of action, and also passed
resolutions denouncing combina-
tions.

An alliance of 40,000 druggists
throughout the country with the
Cigar Dealers' Association of
America, is also a part of the plan
of campaign that was disclosed at
the meeting last week.

A charter for the Cigar Dealers'
Association of America has been
forwarded to Springfield by At-
torney Wilson of the law firm of
Darrow & Thompson, Ashland
Block. The directors are the fol-
lowing incorporators: Samuel Marco
Charles Hoffman, Arthur Bergch,
M. W. Diffley, Edward Kolman, C.
E Case, W. T. Posey and M. Collat.
"Even in advance of the incor-
poration," said Mr. Howe, "the
new organization has been flooded
with applications for membership."

The Havana House, better known
as the Valentine Cigar Store, of To-
ledo, O., has been sold by Charles
F. Stevens to Charles Fox, of Fox
& McMaken.

A Leaf Boom in Havana.

There seems to be almost a boom
in the Havana market, as sales dur-
ing the week ending September 13
reached the total of 10,500 bales,
and while it is hardly probable that
the weekly transactions will con-
tinue in the same proportion, it
ought not to be overlooked that, ow-
ing to the scarcity of wrapper leaf
in the island of Cuba, as well as in
the United States, the demand is so
pressing that all the big manufac-
turers have judged the situation
correctly and are supplying them-
selves as early as possible with the
share that their factories will need [
until the 1903 crop shall come into
the market. This is the whole secret {
of the enormous early movement in
all factory vegaa. That the late
comers and doubters may still find
some tobacco up to the end of this
year is possible, still they will have
to be satisfied with what the early
birds rejected, or they will have to
pay higher prices for suitable goods,
which present holders are not will-
ing to let go yet. Perhaps one- third
of the 10,500 bales, or say 3,500,
were taken by the Havana cigar and
cigarette factories, and the remain-
ing 7,000 by buyers for the United
States, including a small proportion
for export to Europe, about 500
bales.

Factory vegas of Vuelta Abajo
and Partido, and including clean
fillers, were traded in to the extent i
of 7,000 bales, while Remedios first i
and second capaduras amounted to
1,900 bales. Botes and tail ends of I °^os^^y "^^«"^ ^^a°a" (^^^lley to

Pinar del Rio. — The firm of Gar-

Athough the exact figures are not
known, it is asserted that the wrap-
per part was sold at $6 per carrot.

NO ROOM
FOR DOUBT

It is seldom that a new article can be placed
on the market in regard to which there is no
room for doubt as to its value, importance and

efficiency.

The DuBrul Dieless Suction Table is an
exception— a notable and distinguished exception.

Here is a table which speaks for itself.

To see it in operation answers every point
that can be raised against it, and silences the
most prejudiced cntic.

The suction table has
always been open to seri-
ous objections.

Dies and rollers are
responsible for these dis-
advantages. The dies, rol-
lers, rolling arms, pivots,
screws, collars, platens,
and other mechanism re-
quire constant attention to
keep them in condition to
do the work ; the rollers
passing over the dies con-
stantly mash them down ;
the rollers themselves
require re-polishing and
oiling and careful, frequent
adjustment to the wear of
the die. All this make-
shift mechanism requires
frequent attention, re-adjustment and repair. The
die is in the way of the operator. In spite of the
best attention dies always become dull and leave
a white streak on the edge of a dark wrapper,
marring the appearance of the cigar— the ends get
mashed by the rollers and this compels the
operator to tear the wrappers at these points and
often destroy them in the attempt.

We have been trying to overcome these

objections for a long time and we have succeeded.
We have wiped them out completely and have
in their place a table which is really a wonder.
There are no dies and no rollers.
The cutting is done by a circular knife which
is easy to keep sharp and needs absolutely no ad-
justment. The cutting mechanism swings out of
the way after the wrapper is cut, and the rolling
plate is open and free so that the operator is not

in the least hampered by
any complications. It is
natural to do palm work
instead of finger work, and
you get a hand-made cigar
that cannot be surpassed
in any way. You get a
larger output, you have a
table which anybody can
learn to roll upon in a very
short time, and the Du-
Brul Table is so simple in
operation that it never gets
out of perfect order, and
operators will not raise the
slightest cbjection to it, as
they have always done
to other suction tiibles, so
that they will never work
any other kind if they can
get work on this.
We would like to hear from you about

this table.

We would like to tell you more about it, and
we would be glad to do so if you would take the
trouble to ask us.

We still make our Die Table, admitted the
best of that kind; we show it alongside of the
Dieless Table at both of our offices.

The injury from frost was sustained
mainly by the seedleaf variety, the
Zimmer having previously been
nearly all harvested. Farmers
would do well to keep strictly separ-
ate all tobacco shedded since Sep-
tember 13th, and not contaminate
the portion of the crop harvested
earlier. The general rain on Fri-
day last has greatly facilitated and
improved the curing of tobacco in
the sheds.

The crop is reported as curing
satisfactorily, and some is fit to
strip. — News.

EDGERTON, WIS.

The buying movement in the new
crop has been transferred to the
southern growing counties almost
exclusively of late, where buyers
are riding in nearly all sections.
More than half a hundred men have
been interviewing growers during
the week and in the aggregate con-
tracts for a good deal of tobacco
were placed. The 8 cent mark
seems to be the rallying point
around which most trading is done,
though sales are made both above
and below this figure.

The market for old goods shows
but little improvement. A better
demand for export grades has de-
veloped and some fair sized orders

have been received. L. B. Carle
& Son report the sale of a couple
of car loads to manufacturers. The
sampling of 1901 packings is being
carried on to some extent, and the
goods are found to be in sound con-
dition generally, though not cured
as thoroughly as some others years.
The harvest is practically com-
plete in all sections and the shedded
leaf is curing quite satisfactorily.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

IircgoUr Cigat Pacl^ages.
A collector submitted a box con-
taining a number of rolls of tobacco
seven or eight inches long, with a
straw running through the center,
and with a stamp of the denomina-
tion of ICG affixed to the box, but
not properly canceled, as it did not
show the factory number, district
and State, or date of use, and was
not branded or labeled. Similar
goods found on the market will be
seized.

Caution Notice Labels on Pasteboard Boxes.
In reply to an inquiry from a
manufacturer of large and small ci-
gars submitting a sample pasteboard
box for inspection and ruling, it was
advised that the caution notice, and
the State, district and factory num-
ber, and number of cigars, could be
printed directly upon pasteboard
boxes used as original packages for
packing cigars tax paid at the
higher rate, or used as cartons in
which other packages of small ci-
gars, properly stamped, may be re-
packed.

Stamps for Porto Rican Cigars.
A prominent New Orleans firm
of dealers handling large quantities
of Porto Rican cigars recently asked
that some arrangement be made by
which they could buy stamps to be
delivered (at the expense and risk
of the Government) at San Juan,
Porto Rico, to be used in stamping
the cigars before shipment, as pro-
vided by the regulations; and if this
could not be done they asked that
a special deputy collector be detailed
to receive the goods on arrival, and
authorized to proceed with them to
the place of destination, where they
would be properly stamped. The
office advised, first: That internal
revenue stamps can not be sold by
a collector and transmitted by him
at the expense and risk of the
Government for delivery in Porto
Rico; second, that it would not be
expedient or practical to appoint or
detail an officer to go on board ship
to receive unstamped cigars on ar-
rival from Porto Rico and have
them taken to the individual places
of business of dealers for stamping
same, and that the present regula-
tions must beobserved in such cases.

DesttttCtion of Worthless Material.
A manufacturer, who made appli-
cation to have a large quantity of
tobacco siftings, stems and waste
material destroyed, was advised
that the same could be mixed with
bonedust and sold as fertilizer or
insecticide, but that no credit would
be allowed against unstemmed or
stemmed leaf, scraps, cuttings or
clippings received at the factory
and charged on Book 73, and that

all such material should be reported
as useless waste material destroyed,
and not as leaf, scraps, cuttings or
clippings destroyed. In the case of
tobacco manufacturers the 25 per
cent allowance includes all siftings,
dust and waste material that accu-
mulate at the factory, and when
such useless material is destroyed
it must be reported on monthly re-
turn. Form 62, but no credit above
the 25 per cent, first allowed is
given.

Coupons in Snuff Packages.
In reply to a question whether
coupons may be placed in statutory
packages of snuff, under the Regu-
lations, No. 8, Supplement No. 3.
the Commissioner ruled that the
regulations provide that a manu-
facturer may place within his statu-
tory packages containing snuff
small advertising cards, coupons
and certificates, which do not ma-
terially increase the weight of the
contents of the size of the package,
and which are intended as an ad-
vertisement of his business, and
which concern the manufacture and
sale of his snuff and no other busi-
ness. The office has also decided
that the coupons or advertising
cards may indicate to dealers or
consumers that the same may be re-
turned to the manufacturer and ex-
changed for other articles, the dis-
tribution of which does not depend
upon the event of a lottery. The
sample coupon submitted was with-
in the limitation of the regulations
and rulings, with the exception that
the registered factory number did
not appear printed on the coupon.
When corrected in this respect sim-
ilar coupons may be placed in statu-
tory packages of snuff.

Branding Cigat Boxes.
Certain cigar manufacturers have
recently failed to legibly indent,
stamp, burn or impress into each
box of cigars of their manufacture
"the number of the factory and the
district and state, and the number
of cigars contained in the box,"
but have merely printed the same
thereon, and consequently have sub-
jected the cigars to forfeiture and
themselves to a heavy fine and im-
prisonment for each such offense,
as provided by Section 3397 of the
Revised Statutes. Section 3393
requires that in addition to the
above branding, the manufacturer
shall securely affix by pasting on
each box a label, on which shall be
printed the number of the manu-
factory, and the district and State,
and the caution notice in form set
out in the statute; yet in face of
this statute and the regulations
some manufacturers have recently
used labels that omitted the factory
number, and the district and State.

and their goods have been forfeited,
under Section 3456 of the Revised
Statutes, and they have incurred
personally a liability to a fine of
$50 for each box in respect to which
such offense was committed. While
it is not permissible for a manufac-
turer to print the required caution
notice label or the required marks
or branding on wooden boxes, but
must attach a caution notice label
and brand the boxes, the oflfice has,
under decisions Nos. 96 and 97 and
subsequent rulings, decided that
pasteboard or tin boxes, approved
under Regulations, No. 8, page 54, |
and Section 3362 of the Revised
Statutes, may have the caution
notice label and the required brand
ing printed directly thereon when
the same is done in a legible and
durable manner. This ruling, how-
ever, does not and can not modify
the statute with respect to wooden
boxes, which must be properly
branded and the usualcaution notice
label securely affixed thereon by
pasting before the cigars are re
moved from the factory.

TriE eoMie HisT0RY of Tes/ieeo

The late Samuel Marsh, at one
time manager of several Hnes of
ferries plying between New York
and Brooklyn, was for many years,
indeed, during his whole adult life,
a buyer of one of my brands of
cigars.

It was Mr. Marsh's custom to
call for his cigars in person. He
always came in his brougham, and
usually chatted with me while his
purchase was being wrapped up.
He was a very charming companion,
and I used to look for his coming
with pleasure, certain that I should
hear some good story, or some bril-
liant comment on a topic of the day.

Mr. Marsh was in the habit of
buying one thousand cigars at a
time. When he got ready to de
part, his coachman, a very digni-
fied colored man, would run up
ttairs for the cigars and then master
and man would disappear.

These periodical calls of Mr.
Marsh continued for over twenty-
five years. Once or twice, during
that time, Mr. Marsh was unable
to come in person and sent his
coachman instead. The cigars
were always on hand for him, you
may be sure, for I used always to
keep just one thousand of them
ready.

During the last year of Mr.
Marsh's life, however, I noticed
that the colored man's calls for his
master's cigars grew very irregular,
and toward the end, so very irreg-
ular that I ceased to keep any cigars
in reserve for him. The brand
which Mr. Marsh aflfected has, I
am happy to say, always been a
great popular favorite, and it has
been a constant diflficulty with me
to supply the demand.

One day, it was very hot, I re
call, and I was seated by a window.
I saw Mr. Marsh's familiar
brougham coming up the street.
The colored coachman, more digni-
fied than of old, and by this time
showing a fringe of white at his
temples, stopped at my door. He
dismounted and walked into my
office.

"Good mawnin', sah," he said
"Kin I have some seegyars for
Misto Ma'sh?"

"Certainly, you can," I answered,
"but you will have to wait a short
while until we can put the revenue
stamps on the boxes. You see, I

no longer know when to expect you ' Oh yass, indeedy, I does, sah,

won't keep you waiting long. In here a smile, a rather weary smile,
the meantime here is something to crept into the corners of his mouth,
smoke while I am gone," and I "More than is good for yon?" I
handed the negro a cigar and indi questioned. "Why, you look the
cated where he would find matches picture of health
I didn't stop long enough to note "Oh, I'se healthy enough, sah,
whether he lighted the cigar or not, and yo' seegyars is mighty good
but hurried into my stock room to ones, too, sah. All de same, sah.

,Mr. Louis Ash.

give instructions for getting Mr.
Marsh's cigars ready.

When I returned to my desk the
negro was sitting where I had left
him and the cigar was in his hand
still unlighted. Concluding that
he had been diffident about helping
himself to a match, as many colored
people are in matters of that kind,
I handed him one out of my waist-
coat pocket and invited him a
second time to smoke while his
master's cigars were being made
I ready. He shook his head very
gravely, and said:

"No, thank you, sah, I don't
feel like smoking just now, sah."

"But you do smoke, don't you?"
I asked.

I'se been smoking too much."

I scented an uncommon story,
and thereupon pressed him to ex-
plain himself. What he told me
made clear to me that his master
was surely the most loyal of de-
votees. The coachman said:

"Misto Ma'sh takes mighty great
pleasure in yo' seegyars, Misto Ash.
He do, for a fac'. He ain't done
smoke nuffin' else, sah, ebber
since I knows him, an' I'se been
wif 'im for over thirty years. You
ain' been tol', I 'spec, sah, dat
! Misto Ma'sh is sick, is yo'? No?
He din' want you should know.
He don' want none o' his friens
should know, but you press me so

hard dat I'se setting here like de
fool nigger I is tellin' yo' all about
it."

I reassured the poor chap, and
made him feel, though I was deeply
pained to learn his master was ill,
that I should never let him know
who had told me. Thereupon, the
negro went on:

"It was dishyeraway," he said.
" 'Bout fo' months ago, Misto
Ma'sh have a 'leptic stroke."

"Do you mean apoplectic or
epileptic?" I interrupted.

"De las' one," he said. "He
face is all drawed up an one side
he mouf, and he carn't talk 'cept
in a whisper. He can't smoke,
needer.and dat'sjwhere I comes in."

"Where you come in?" I gasped
out in my astonishment. "I don't
understand.

"In cose, you don't," answered
the negro, "but you would if you
was by when Misto Ma'sh wants a
smoke."

At this point the fellow went into
a fit of the chuckles. He shook
from iheadj to foot, with internal
enjoyment of his joke, which he
gave I me to share as soon as the
paroxysm was ovtr. At the mo-
ment I was too shocked to enjoy it.

"I smoked everyone of dose last
one thousand seegyars, sah, and
I'se got to smoke ebery one of
dishy er one thousand what yo' is
getting ready for me. Misto Ma'sh
carn't smoke hisself, sah, and so
helgits me to do it fer 'im. I'se
got to smoke six o' doze seegyars
ebery day. I puts my black face
right near to Misto Ma'sh's and
blows de smoke up his nose. If I
smoke too fast he don't like it, an'
if 1 1 smokes too slow he don't like
dat, needer . But I 'se got to smoke
delwhole thousand, Misto Ash, an'
I hope you'll excuse me, sah, for
declinin' yor. hospitality dis mawn-
in'."

Theicigars were by this time in
shape to be delivered and the coach-
man took them away. I shall
never forget the remarkable story
he told me that day, nor the look
of comic martyrdom on his face as
he went down the stairs.

OCTOBER I, iqo2.

English Bggs for Mr. Duke.

Thomas F. Ryan, a well-known
millionaire financier of New York
city, who has been one of the larg-
est stockholders in the American
Tobacco Company since 1898, and
who is now the first Vice President
of the Consolidated Tobacco Com-
pany, sailed from England for New
York on September 24 It is un-
derstood in Wall street and in to-
bacco circles that Mr. Ryan's mis-
sion to England was to bring abont
a merger of the Imperial Tobacco
Company, with the British Tobacco
Company, the English end of The
American Tobacco Company, and
it is now believed that he has been
successful in that object.

The Imperial Tobacco Company,
of which the long established firm
of W. D. & H. O. Wills, of Bristol,
is the most important member, is
capitalized at $ 1 5 ,000,000. It was
formed after the British Tobacco
Company had entered the field, and
it rushed into a fight with Mr.
Duke's corporation with a sort of
blind fury. The fight in England
between these two big corporations
was very interesting while it lasted,
and the pace they set was so very
hot that many outside manufac-
turers lost a great deal of money.
The Cope firm, of Liverpool, for
instance, long one of the most pros-
perous tobacco manufacturing con-
cerns in Great Britain, reported only
last week that the net result of its
operations during the preceding
twelve months had been a loss of

/606.

That the British Tobacco Com-
pany and its Imperial rival were on
the point of merging, was fore-

shadowed at the banquet of the
Wholesale Tobacconists' Associa-
tion, of England, held on the even-
ing of September 18, in London.
Mr. Fraenkel, the President, said
on that occasion, that friendly ar
rangements would soon be reached
by the two big corporations.

The Tobacco World predicted as
long ago as last November that Mr.
Duke would win out in England
It reminded its readers that notl)ing
delighted Mr. Duke more than to
have his competitors put all their
eggs into one basket, because it is
much simpler to annex one basket
than to go after many separate eggs

If Mr. Ryan has indeed estab
lished the supremacy in Great Brit-
ain of the British Tobacco Com
pany, he has done nothing more
nor less than to make the corpora
tions at 11 1 Fifth avenue. New
York, with which he is associated,
a world power in commerce, and
has smoothed the way for them in
Germany and Russia, and also in
the regie countries. These vast
plans are in the hands of men the
most practical, and of the finest
technical training, in any branch of
commerce in the world. If they
succeed, and there is very little rea-
son to doubt that they will succeed,
their success will redound not only
to the glory but also to the pecuni-
ary profit of the United States.

How entirely they have succeed-
ed is told in the following cable to
the New York Sun:

"London, Sept. 27. — An ofl5cial
statement in regard to the negotia-
tions for the consolidation of the
American and Imperial Tobacco
companies, the representatives of
the American and English tobacco
trusts, was issued this afternoon. It
confirms substantially the state-
ments printed this morning that the
British and American trusts have
come to an agreement, and adds
that the export businessof the Impe-
rial Tobacco Co. (the British trust),
and the American Tobacco Co (the
American trust), has .been amalga-
mated. A joint company is in course
of formation to be named the Brit
ish- American Tobacco Co., which
will compete for trade in other parts
of the world.

"It is understood that J. B. Duke,
R. H. Walters and Thomas Ogden
will be elected on the board of the
Imperial Tobacco Co., and the first
directors of the British-American
company will consist of Sir W. H.
Wills, J. B. Duke, J. B. Cobb. H.

us. The newspaper accounts of the
successes of the Imperial Tobacco
Co. over the American company
have been entirely imaginary. We
have never been squeezed in the
slightest degree The statement
that the English company has
bought immense plantations in Vir-
ginia is a pure invention. The
British- American company will not
attempt to do business in France,
where the Government monopoly
would prevent any such effort, but
elsewhere in the world the company
will find markets. We already
have factories in Canada, Australia
and Germany. These will be mul
tiplied when necessary.'"

A Box Stuffer's Conscience.

New York. September i8, 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

It has occurred to me, after read
ing the accounts in the daily papers
of the recent arrests of prominent
dealers in this city for palming off
cheap domestic cigars for expensive
imported ones, a fraud which has
now been going on for many years,
that if ever those who have success-
fully practiced this deception in the
past get a rush of conscience to the
head and make quiet restitution to
Uncle Sam of the revenues out of
which they have swindled him. the
"conscience fund ' of the U. b
Treasury will be enormously en-
riched.

I am not asking you any question
— I am merely putting acase.

Club Smoker.

Comment.

And a very interesting case it is,
but I am very much afraid the con-
science fund will never be the richer
from the contributions of box stuff
ers, because, you see, box stuffers
have no consciences. I consider
box stuffing one of the meanest of
swindles, and yet I cannot over
look the fact the temptation to
perpetrate it is strong, persistent,
and the fraud itself one of the easiest
in the world to commit. All the
same, I know that very many re
tailers who are men of character
have successfully resisted the temp-
tation and have given the public
exactly what it has called for at
their stores.

Fortunately for those who are
rich enough to indulge a taste for
imported cigars, the stories of the
arrests of box stuffers in New York
during August and September have
been so widely read that the methods
employed by the swindlers are

secrets no longer The box stuff
ing fraud promises to be thoroughly
threshed out in the daily press, for
not only are the newsgatherers who
are employed on the daily papers on
the qui vive for more news, but the
humorists have tackled the subject
and paragraphs like the following
from the New York Evening Sun,
of September 18, will do their own
share toward putting the public on
its guard:

"That cigar row only goes to
show that when you paid the waiter
a quarter for your cigar aud thought
that it smoked like a two-fer, you
perhaps wereu t so far wrong after
all There's many a Havana wrap
per 'twixt the Connecticut filler and
the lip."

Old Central American Pipes

Beli.EVILI,E, Ii,L .September 26, '02.
Dear Medicine Man:

I picked up in a curiosity shop in
St Louis the other day a singular
tobacco pipe having one stem but
two mouth pieces. The dealer said
it came from South America and
that was all he knew about it. The
bowl is of red clay and the mouth
piece of horn. I have been advised
to write to you. Can you tell me
where this pipe came from and who
made it? C. A.

Answer.

Your pipe is probably of Nicar-
aguan manufacture, or it may have
come from Honduras. The Spanish
population of those two republics
has a large admixture of Aztec or
other aboriginal blood, and pre-
serves many of the implements as
well as customs which prevailed
in the time of the Montezumas.
One of the queerest of these sur-
vivals is the long pipe the smokers
of Honduras and Nicaragua still
affect. It is made from a shrub or
a sapling which grows somewhat
like the elder.

The bush is cut down and the
pith extracted from the stem, which
is afterwards peeled, polished, dried
and painted with primary colors in
barbaric style The simplest form
is a straight stem from three to six
feet in length. A more expensive
kind is made from a stem with two
terminal branches. This demands
much more care in extracting the
pith, and enables the owner to offer
a friend a mouthpiece on one branch
while he is enjoying another upon
a second. Three stemmed sticks
are also made, and, very rarely,
four stemmed ones. These are kept
as curios rather than as useful
articles, and are supposed to have
been employed upon especial occa-
sions in the days of the Incas.

The bowl is of red clay, gray clay
or sandstone, and the mouthpiece
may be of bone or horn or decorated
silver and amber. The length of
the stem causes the tobacco smoke
to cool appreciably in its passage

from the bowl to the lips, and gives
a taste almost as mild as that pro-
duced by the Oriental nargile.
These pipes make very pretty orna-
ments for a mantel or for a wall, be-
ing much more pleasing to the eye
than the "churchwarden," familiar
to all smokers. They are strong
and durable, but unless oiled or
varnished now and then, they are
apt to split in a dry climate. Col-
lectors make it a rule to oil them on
the inside once a year.

*
Tan-Pa-Ku.

Oaki,and, Cai.., September 21, 1902
Dear Medicine Man:

To decide a wager, please tell us
if the word for tobacco is the same in
Chinese and Japanese

Jack Rose and Newsboy.

Answer.
They are not the same. The
Chinese call tobacco Tanpaku,
while the Japanese call it Tabaco,
as the Portuguese taught them to
call it early in the seventeenth
century In bothcountries, however,
tobacco is variously phrased, "the
heavenly fragrance," "the queen
herb of the rude barbarian," "the
divine root," "the blossom of frag-
rance," "the herb of long life,"
"the life strengthening herb," "the
friend of leisure, ' ' "the herb of con-
stant pleasure," "the herb of ami-
ability," "the herb of love," "the
herb of wise reflection," "the soul-
reviving herb." There are, how-
ever, two depreciatory Chinese and
Japanese names for tobacco — "fool's
herb" and "poverty herb."

Anti-Snioking haws in

Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 26, '02
Dear Medicine Man.

What was the date and the text
of the old anti smoking ordinance
in this city about which I have
heard a number of old men in this
city speak. A U. C. M. Employe.

Answer.

The ordinance was passed in 1829,
and was as follows:

"Whereas, The frequent use of

of the borough in the evening ren-
ders insecure every man's house and

ordained, etc., that after the due
promulgation of this ordinance it
shall not be lawful for any person or

Father Charlevoix on the

Calumet.

SoMERVii,i,E, N. J., Sept. 27, 1902
Dbar Medicine Man:

Can you readily print what it was
the Jesuit priest, Charlevoix, said of

the old Indian custom of smoking
the pipe of peace? Earl.

Answer

Certainly I can. He said: "The
custom is to smoke the calumet
when you accept it, and perhaps
there is no instance where the agree-
ment has been violated, which was
made by this acceptation . To smoke
in the same pipe, therefore, is a
token of alliance, is the same thing
as to drink from the same cup, as
has been practiced at all times by
many nations.

"When approaching strange and
perhaps hostile tribes, heralds and
travelers used large pipes with long
stems, gaily painted and adorned
with the heads and wings of birds,
as a passport to insure their safe
passage through the domain of the
itrangers."

The Pipe Industry of
Germany.

Glendale, L. I., Sept. 28, '02
Dear Medicine Man:

One of my friends who works in
W. Demuth & Co's pipe factory
was holding forth last night on the
magnitude of the pipe industry of
Austria, his native country. He
maintains that Austria manufactures
and exports more pipes than Ger-
many. I told him I thought he
was wrong, and we agreed to leave
the matter to you. Felix B.

Answer

Your friend is wrong, for Ger-
many manufactures and exports
more pipes than Austria. The
town of Ruhla,in Thuringia.is noted
as being the locality where the
largest proportion of German pipes
are manufactured, and these are
exported, it may be said, to all
parts of the world. The German
papers give some remarkable data
as to this industry, as carried on at
the Ruhla works, showing that for
some years past the annual produc-
tion of bowls, independently of
stems or handles, amounts to 540,-
000 meerschaums and nearly 5,500,-
000 of imitation meerschaums; the
total of wooden bowls produced is
not far short of 5,000,000, while the
average number of that popular
variety, the china pipe, attains the
prodigious number of between 12,-
000,000 and 13,000,000, of these
about 9,500,000 being of common
porcelain and the remainder of fine
ware. But in addition to these
there are also produced some 15,-
000,000 of pipes made of other ma-
terials than those enumerated above.
The same manufacturers are en-
gaged in turning out annually 15,-
000,000 of pipe stems of different
kinds , also millions of ' 'accessories''' ,
such as flexible stems, chains, stop-
pers, etc. The Medicine Man.

Fresh News from Havana,

The transactions in the Havana
market for the week ending Septem
ber 20 showed a decided falling oflf
in volume, as from 10,500 bales for
ihe preceding week they shrunk to
6,000 bales, and still prices are as
high as ever and the demand for all
desirable factory vegas and clean
fillers remains as keen as heretofore.
The only reason why the same
number of bales was not turned over
may be looked for in the diminished
supply, and by comparing the
weekly receipts from the Vuelta
Abajo, Semi Vuelta and Partido
districts with the previous eight
days there is a falling off amounting
to nearly 44 per cent., or in actual
numbers of 6,199 bales, and this
explains all. In fact, as a large
part of the receipts of Partido had
been sold previous to arrival, by
comparing the tobacco arrived from
the Vuelta Abajo alone, the per-
centage is 64 per cent, or 7,242
bales This evidently seems to in-
dicate that the bulk of this year's
crop from the Vuelta Abajo is al-
ready in the warehouses in Havana,
and that the stocks still held by
farmers and the various escojidas
cannot b^ very large in amount.

The 6 000 bales sold comprise a,-
800 bales of Vuelta Abajo factory
vegas, fillers, and tail ends, 1,700
bales of Partido wrappers and fillers,
and 1,500 bales principally of old
Remedios. As far as countries are
concerned, the United States took
3,200 bales, Havana cigar and ci
garette manufacturers 1,500 bales,
and exporters to Europe i ,300 bales.
The feature has been that old
Remedios have received more at
tention from dealers as well as man
ufacturers, and, considering the dif-
ference in prices between the best
first capaduras and Vuelta Abajo
fillers, certainly the former ought to
prove more advantageous to the
manufacturers. With the close
competition existing nowadays the
cheaper article is bound to find
more takers, and very likely will be
exhausted sooner than the dearer
one, and particularly as this year's
Vuelta Abajo crop is still very back-
ward in its curing and could not be
shipped north perhaps before next
spring, while the old Remedios is
by this time thoroughly cured and
mellow enough in taste to be cm-
ployed as a substitute for Vuelta

Abajo.

The 1903 Crop.

Already a commencement has
been made in transplanting by one
veguero in San Juan y Martinez,
Don Antonio Garcia, who has set

out 40,000 plants and will complete
the transplanting of 300,000 seed-
lings during the week ending Sep-
tember 27. The majority of plant-
ers in the Vuelta Abajo and Partido
districts expect to start operations
in setting out plants between Octo-
ber I and 15, and this ought to in-
sure a large temprano crop, pro-
vided unfavorable weather condi-
tions (too heavy rainstorms) do not
disappoint present hopes and calcu-
lations. If Don Antonio Garcia
meets with no setback he expects to
be able to make the first cutting on
November 15, a very early date in-
deed. Everybody in the island of
Cuba is wishing for a temprano
crop, as invariably the early grown
tobacco has turned out to be silky
in leaf, glossy in colors and fine in
aroma, and, as for the last four
years we have had only tardido, or
late grown crops, it should be about
time to have a good crop again; but
is this the weather clerk's opinion
also? that is the question.

Havana Cigar Factories.

The movement is increasing with
all larger and smaller factories, as
orders are plentiful, not alone by
mail but also by cable, this indicat-
ing urgency in the filling of same.
Exports by the steamer Mexico
which left September 20, were over
4,000,000 alone. The great draw-
back that the manufacturers in
Havana have to battle with is the
crude state of the new leaf and the
absence of sufficient old fillers to
make the right "liga."

Really, most of them are 'twixt
Scylla land Charybdis, between the
devil and the deep sea as to what to
do. If they fill the pressing orders
and employ the uncured fillers, they
may temporarily benefit themselves,
but complaints will come in later

in large numbers and the reputation
of their brands may suffer, while by
not filling the orders they will lose
the trade now, and it might be hard
to regain it later on, as in the mean-
time less scrupulous manufacturers
will be only too glad to execute all
orders they can lay their hands on.
Some of the big and also quite a
number of the smaller factories
fortunately have looked out in time
and still possess enough old fillers
to be able to work them to their ad
vantage at the present time. H.

successors to Juan Lopez, and
others too numerous to mention, are
all said to have enough old fillers
on hand.

H. de Cabanas y Car vajal bought
222 bales of Vuelta Abajo factory
vegas, but are now fully supplied
and will stop buying any more for
the present. H. Upmann & Co.
also report no further purchases,
while the Havana Commercial Co.
is still said to be in the market for
more leaf, likewise the Henry Clay
and Bock & Co. The factories con-
trolled by Rabell, Costa & Co. are
in a good position, as they can draw
their supplies from the vast stock of
this large and powerful concern.

Sam I. Davis reports his total

but he is not finished yet. Geo. W.

Very Hoi Weather in Havana

September and October are al-
ways the hottest months of the year
in Cuba, but the September and
October of 1902 promise to go on
record as the hottest months in
years. Leaf merchants returning
from Havana all agree in saying
t^at this is the fact. It is hot right
straight along, day and night, and
the air is not only hot but full of
an enervating humidity.

th:e cigar trade fifty years ago.

Mr. Sol Barnett Discusses the IVIen and IVIethods of 1852.

Mr. Sol Barnett, a well known
leaf merchant of i66 Front street,
New York, will celebrate his seven
tieth birthday on October 13. He
is in the enjoyment of vigorous
health.

Discussing the men and methods
of a half a century with a Tobacco
World reporter the other day, Mr.
Barnett said that his connection
with the cigar trade began in his
early youth in the factory of Wooley
& C> , of Sheffield, England. This
firm is still in existence. Mr. Bar
nett, who was born in Woolwich,
Kent, went up to Sheffield to learn
cigarmaking in Wooley 's factory
In those days in England apprentice
cigarmakers were required to pay to
their masters a large sum for their
instruction. The senior Barnett
paid the initial fee, but later, when
;^200 additional were demanded,
father and son demurred and the
son took steamer for New York
where he could pursue his chosen
trade and earn money while doing it.
The young man, upon his arrival
in this country, went at once to
Cooperstown, N. Y., where he se
cured employment in the shop of
Jacob Klopstock. After a year in
Cooperstown he came to New York
city and worked in various factories,
among others in that of Mr. Rapp
in Houston street.

•'From there," said Mr. Barnett
to the Tobacco World reporter, "I
went to Brand & Klopstock at
Bleecker street and Bowery. The
Klopstock of this firm was the same
man for whom I had worked in
Cooperstown. He had bought an
interest in the New York house but
continued his manufacturing busi-
ness in Cooperstown. Julius Brand,
of Brand & Klopstock, conducted
a cigar store in the building at
Bleecker street and the Bowery and
it was while serving customers be
hind the counter there one day that
I had one of the great successes of
my early career, though, I'm a little
sorry to say, the pecuniary profit
was my employer's and not mine: I
actually sold twenty of the finest
imported Havana cigars we had in
the shop at 5 cents each! Think of
it, one whole dollar for twenty of
the finest cigars Cuba could send to
New York! Doesn't it sadden you
to think you can't get the same
thing for the same money to-day?
But fifty years ago dealers paid only

S/INeriEZ & H/IYA

$18 a thousand for the fine sires of
Cuban cigars and retailed them at
3 cents each. But that day in
Julius Brand's cigar store, while I
was serving customers behind the
counter, an inspiration came to me
to ask more and I was undoubtedly
the most astonished young man in
New York when the money was
paid over without a murmur from
the buyer.

"Please remember that I was not
a retail cigar store clerk but a work
ing cigarraaker, and I made cigars
for many of the well-known manu-
facturers of the early fifties Among
others I worked for the Marquis de
Sharkey, the Benrimo Bros, and the
famous Particular' Cohen. His
shop was in Franklin Square and
his real name was I. B. Cohn, but
he got the name by which he was
known in the trade on account of
the extreme care which he insisted
his cigarmakers should give to iheii
work. That the trade appreciated ,
his painstakingness was evidenced j
by the fact that 'Particular' Cohen
got $7.50 a thousand for the same
cigars, a small Londres, for which
other manufacturers got only $5.

'In my youth I was fond of
traveling and I worked at my trade
in different cities. For awhile I
was in the shop of Alexander Grier
in Albany. Grier was an exceed
ingly popular man, and very pros-
perous. In 1854 when I worked
for him I was the only foreigner in
his employment. Those were the
days of the Knownothings but I got
along very well with everybody
From Albany I went to Toledo, O ,
where I worked in the shop of the
well-known Calvin Bronsin. I left
Toledo intending to go to Rochester.
N. Y., but on the boat I happened
to fall in with a charming young
lawyer who lived in Port Hope,
Canada. At hissuggestion I stopped
off at Port Hope intending merely
to spend Sunday with my friend,
but I stayed in Canada for ten years,
for it was not until 1864 that I again
came to the United States to engage
in business here. At first I worked
at my trade in Port Hope in the
factory of Bowman & Prince. They
were doing a rushing business and I
recall that I frequently worked six
days and three whole nights out of
the week. After a while I started
in business for myself in Port Hope
and then moved to Toronto. As a

manufacturer of cigars in Toronto I
had such competitors as Gillott,
King & Co., of Toronto and A. C.
Quimby, of Hamilton. In 1861 I
made a trip to New York for the
purpose of getting married, but re-
turned to Toronto at once remaining
there until 1864. Upon my settle-
ment in New York in that year I
went into business with H. H.
Watts at 75 Bowery. In 1866 my
partner was James McCaffil, at 191
Greenwich street. In 1868 I went
into business as a leaf merchant on
my own account at 147 Water
street.

"The summary I have given you
of the past 50 years is brief I know.
I have seen the cigar industry of
the United States grow from tiny
beginnings to its present gigantic
magnitude. I have known person
ally most of the men who have been
prominent in the cigar and tobacco
manufacturing and the leaf trades
during half a century, and the most
striking comment I can make upon
the changes that have taken place
between 1852 and 1902 is this: Ci-
garmakers nowadays get more for
making 1,000 cigars than the im-
porters used to get for i ,000 sent
from Havana to New York or Phila
delphia."

Rudolph F. Vogt's Future.

Rudolph F. Vogt, formerly of the
cigar manufacturing firm of Hum
mel & Vogt, of Louisville, Ky.,
but latterly with the Continental
Tobacco Company, will return to
his old home in Louisville, and
about the middle of November or j
the first of December will start out I
in business as a jobber in cigars and
tobacco there. Mr. Vogt has secured
one of the largest buildings on
Fourth street in Louisville and is
now preparing to stock it with
merchandise.

He has not yet decided upon the
style under which he will do busi
ness. It is possible he will organize
a corporation to be known as the
Rudolph F. Vogt Co.

Mr. Vogt has beenknown through
out his entire career as a thoroughly
up- to date and aggressive man, and
his future career in Louisville will
be watched with the friendliest in-
terest by the entire trade.

The C. S. Turner Company, of
Wilkesbarre, Pa , has been incor
porated under the laws of Delaware,
to manufacture, buy, sell, and deal
in cigars, tobacco, teas, and other
products of domestic or foreign soil;
to lease and purchase warehouses,
etc. Capital $50,000.

Did Not Obey the Law.

C. R. Sundberg, proprietor of a
cigar factory at 86 Maiden Lane,
New York, was arrested on Septem-
ber 26, for having in his possession
34 boxes which had once held im-
ported cigars, upon which the im-
port stamps had not been destroyed
in accordance with the letter of the
law on that subject.

— F. D. Grave, the New Haven
cigar manufacturer, celebrated the
25th anniversary of his marriage by
giving an entertainment to his em-
ployes and their families, on Sep-
tember 20th.

tiful clear white, but the cost is no
greater than if the lettering were
done in gold or silver. An artistic
way to utilize these new holiday

across the lid of the box. If the

attractive.

Stamping Philippine Cigars

As cigars imported from the Phil-
ippines under a recent decision of
the Treasury Department are not
required to pay domestic internal
revenue taxes, it has been necessary
to adopt some distinctive mark to
identify them so as to prevent seiz-
ure for non payment of those taxes,
and orders have been issued that
boxes containing Philippine cigars
shall bear the usual customs import
stamp with the word "Philippines."

A Progressive Reading Cigar Factory.

One of the Largest Union Establishments in Penna.

HIGH-GRADE GOODS THE PRINCIPAL PRODUCT.

One of the most progressive cigar
manufacturing establishments in
the state of Pennsylvania, working
strictly on the Union basis, is that
of M. Steppacher, at Reading.

Mr. Steppacher transferred his
business interests from Philadel
phia to Reading only a few years
ago, at once commencing opera-
tions under the Union label and
adopting their scale of wages,
but, unlike what some unscru-
pulous manufacturers might
have been tempted to do, he
did not offer his goods on sen-
timent as union goods, but on
the meritsof the product alone.
So admirably has he suc-
ceeded in his undertaking, in
a few years, that his working
force has been doubled, trebled
and quadrupled since the be-
ginning.

He was also quick to see
that eren the Union system
was not without its shortcom-
ings, and that it, like every-
thing else, must be conducted
on strictly business principles,
and that a manufacturer inust
see to it that he gets full value
d: the value he must give, or

in other words, that only the best
workmanship must be obtained for
the scale of wages required to be
paid. It is not unreasonable to
believe that he has, therefore, been
really a benefactor to the cigar-
makers of his city, in teaching them
to more fully real z» the merits of
this cardinal principle.

The strif^es that this factory has

made were not phenomenally rapid
and of mushroom growth, but its
prosperity was built upon a solid
and lasting foundation, and time is
invariably required to achieve such
a result. The progress has been
steady, and will remain permanent-
ly, without a doubt.

Another feature which is worthy
of more than passing notice is the
fact that this establishment is
ruining exclusively on five and
ten-cent goods, of which a consid
erahle proportion is of the dime
variety.

I.Fac Simile of M. Steppacher's New Label.

The products manufactured are
being successfully sold through the
Middle Atlantic States, and are also
especially strong through the New
England States. Mr. Steppacher
is personally acquainted with very
many of the more important dis-
tributing houses in those sections,
from among whom his patronage is
largely made up.

Among the first brands to be put
on the market were the "K. S.", a
ten cent cigar, and the "Aphro-
dite" in the nickel line. Others
followed in as rapid succession as
the trade and occasion re-
quired. Mr. S's favorite ten-
cent cigar was a later intro-
duction, and was named "El
Stepaco," a title which was
fully honored by its attract-
iveness and the ready sale it
gained.

More recently the "Royal
Berks" was launched, (an il-
lustration of which has already
been shown in these columns),
also a 5 cent cigar, which has a
large and steadily increasing
sale. In addition to these sev-
eral others might be named,
but space will not permit a
reference to them separately.

His latest enterprise is styled
the "Eblana," of which the
accompanying illustration is a
reproduction. It is also a five-

them again to prove that it must

ordinary in design and effect. The
coloring and embellishment are in
full harmony with the title. From

terior boundaries of the United

the first Mr. Steppacher has given next step is an appeal to a Supreme

tractiveness of the packages where-

of the expression "exterior bound-

in his goods are supplied to the aries." From this decision he says,

no exception to his rule. It is well ' understood by the court to be within
known that he expends, perhaps, ; the exterior boundaries of the

more money in beautifying his pack-
ages than does the average manu
facturer.

The "Eblana" consists of a full
complement of six pieces, all of the

United States," and he adds that
no reason can be found why the
Philippines did not have the same
status up to the passage of the act
of July I, 1902, which is commonly

special design and of like charac- ! known as the Philippines govern-
teristics^ It was the work of the I ment act.

Mr. Steppacher feels pleased that ' "provides in effect that the laws of

that compare favorably with non- 1 to the Philippine I-jlands," which

union made goods, and yet he claims
a certain superiority in the particu-
lar methods of manufacture which

still remain, however, domestic
territory. We may not classify the
cigars as foreign goods and so tax

he hes adopted and on which he j them, while section 3.394 of the

has so successfully worked.

<^^^^^

How Philippine Cigars
Mscape Taxation.

The opinion which was given by
Acting Attorney General Henry M.
Hoyt to the effect that cigars from
the Philippine Islands are exempt
from the internal revenue tax runs
through a curious course of reason-
ing which serves to explain if not
to commend the anomaly.

Mr. Hoyt begins by quoting sec-
tion 3 402 of the Revised Statutes,
which provides that "all cigars im-
ported from foreign countries shall
pay, in addition to the import duties
imposed thereon, the tax prescribed
by law for cigars manufactured by
the United States." This would
include the Philippines only in
case they could be reckoned as a
foreign country, but the Supreme
Court held in the fourteen diamond
rings case that goods from the
islands were not "imported from a
foreign country" within the mean-
ing of our revenue laws, so that the
status of the islands as domestic
territory is fixed.

It might be inferred, then, that
the internal revenue tax on cigars
would apply as a matter of course,
and this idea is encouraged up to a
certain point. First Mr. Hoyt

Revised Statutes, which imposes
the internal revenue tax "upon ci
gars which shall be manufactured
and sold or removed for consump-
tion or use, ' ' applies only ' 'to cigars
manufactured within the bounds of
our internal revenue laws — i c ,
within the territory where these
laws are operative," for "if this
view is not correct there was ap
parently no necessity for the pas-
sage of section 3 402, which says
that 'all cigars imported from for-
eign countries shall pay an internal
revenue tax.' "

Thus the islands escape the tax
entirely, while they pay but 75 per
cent of the duties prescribed by the
Dingley law.

LIBCRMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect , clean
cut, superior to hand work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not strealc or mark wrap
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine offered.

New York Leaf Market

The new Partidos is all gone. It
went ofif the market with the speed
of a record breaking automobile.
Remedies and Vueltas are sharing
in the movement.

The holders of Sumatra bought
at the spring inscriptions are finding
a satisfactory demand for their mer-
chandise, and the packers of domes-
tic leaf are also content with the
present condition of the market.

Latest News from York, Pa.

The packers here are sampling
their tobacco, and those, as a rule,
who bulk sweated their goods fine
very little damage; others, who
sweated their tobacco packed, are
finding considerable damage in the
way of must and mold. While the
tobacco generally turns out better
when packed after bulk sweating,
yet the process is irksome, and even
dangerous to the health of the men
employed to rebulk from time to
time, and a large percentage of the
outside tobacco does not seem to
cure so well.

Mr. Sonneman commenced on
Monday of this week to sample and
will be ready to offer his goods to
the trade in about a week.

Jacob A. Mayer & Bro. have sold
a great portion of their old packing
to a New York firm.

The La Buta Cigar Co. quietly
advertise themselves and their in
creasing business by frequent
"want" ads for hand rollers.

Bear Bros., located at Zion's
View, have added a few more hands
to their present large force, to cope
successfully with increasing orders.

Wm. Olp, manufacturer at Red
Lion, has unfortunately lost a valu-
able record horse, which died last

R D Zech, representing S L
Johns, and manager of the York
warehouse, reports the receipt dur-
ing the past week of 75,000 pounds
of leaf tobacco at York, Goldsboro

365 cases to western points during
the week.

Trade in Reading.

Berks county tobaaco growers
have about completed cutting their
early crop. The plants set out later
will remain standing until October.
The yield is one of the best in recent
years, and has done much to en-
courage the farmers who have been
engaged in it on a side line. It is
expected that the industry will take
a fresh impetus and result in a big
increase in the acreage next season.
A number of farmers have been ex-
perimenting in a small way on their
own account. At present tobacco
growing in this county is practically
confined to Caernarvon, Robeson
and Brecknock. Farmers in other
sections are having their soils ex-
amined by experts in order to learn
whether they are suited to its culti-
vation. The crop for the present
year is very good, and the farmers
who tried an increased acreage will
do well.

Berks tobacco is being used more
and more every year, and manu-
facturers have found that it is ex-
cellent in making combinations of
tobaccos. Certainly the farmers
who had any out will make money
on the investment. The weather
was good and the crops had no ser-
ious setback during the season.
The cutting of the crop in this
county is being inspected by J. B.
Stewart, an expert of the Bureau of
Soils of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Mr. Stewart pro-
nounced the crop in these districts
very fine, that the weight of the
leaf will be fully up to the average,
and that the leaf is of unusually
fine quality. He says that the
average weight of shade- grown to-
bacco is from i ,200 to i ,500 pounds
per acre of row leaf and about i ,000
pounds of cured tobacco.

At a meeting of the Cigarmakers'

the demand for union cigars was
greater than ever, and that every
union factory is rushed with orders.
All union cigarmakers have posi-

IS TOBACCO CHEWING WANING?

"Is tobacco chewing on the de-
crease in the South?" asked a man
who watches for the strange things
of life for the New Orleans Times-
Democrat. "I am inclined to think
so. If Dickens should come back
to life and make another tour of the
South along the Mississippi, as he
did in the 40's, when he claimed to
have gathered data for the infamous
slanders he perpetrated in 'Ameri-
can Notes, ' I am sure he would find
less tobacco chewing and less reck-
less expectorating than he found in
those days, just as he would find
fewer boots.

"I do not mean to say that to-
bacco chewing is about to become
a thing of the past altogether. Bat
there is no denying the fact that the
young men of to day are less given
to the habit than the young men of
twenty-five years ago. Take the
young men of any class, the upper
class, the middle class or the lower
class, and >ou will find but a small

per cent, of them between the ages
of 18 and 25 are given to the habit
of chewing tobacco. Go into the
clubs and you will find compara-
tively few men who use it at all.
The man in society who chews to-
bacco is a rare product It is not
for me to say what has brought
about the change. Frankly, I do
not know, I might make several
guesses, but they would be no more
than guesses at best."

LANCASTER'S REPORT,

Lancaster, Pa., Sept. 30, 1902
With an ordinary business in old
goods, local dealers have been de-
voting their time to finishing up
sampling of the new goods.

About 350 cases of 1901 goods
were taken from country packers
last week, and several hundred
cases of 1900 tobacco also changed
hands.

The buying of the new crop con-
tinues, but not so generally. The
representatives of the United Cigar
Manufacturers are not quite so
active now. Several of our city
houses, however, are still buying
some, but slowly, and are making
their selections very carefully. The
prevailing price is still 8 and 2 cents.

Tobacco of the 1 902 crop that
has properly matured is now prac
tically all housed. If the weather
remains warm another week or so,
nearly all of the late tobacco also
will hare been safely housed.

The cigar manufacturing trade is
only averagingly fair in this county.
The manufacturers who have pushed
their business energetically have
done fairly well, while some others
are falling behind.

A. N. Wolf, of Akron, has been
particularly active this year, and
has attended to the selling largely
himself. He has been having a
pretty good trade.

Sincere sympathy is expressed
on every side for Mr. Martin Bare,
of J. E. Sherts & Co., who lost his
wife on Tuesday last, by typhoid
fever.

She had been ill about two weeks,
and up to the Sunday before her
death, was thought to be doing
nicely. A relapse set in, however,
and calmly the end was brought on.

George Johnson has been here
recently, representing Cohn & Co.,
of New York.

E. L. Nissley & Co., of Florin,
Pa., have about finished sampling,
and are now ready to offer a fine
line of 1901 goods. Mr. Nissley
states that their packing has turned
out exceedingly well.

B. F. Kendig, of Salunga, last
week disposed of about 200 cases
of the 1900 goods, and M. G. Mus-
ser, of Mountville, sold over 300
cases of 1 90 1. Both lots were seed
l«af.

Manager Engel, of the Sutter
Bros, warehouse, last week shipped
three car loads.

John D. Skiles has finished
sampling his packing of the 1901
crop, and states that the percentage
of damaged goods was smaller than
usual. He has also bought several
crops of the new tobacco.

The half acre plot of cover-grown
tobacco at the State experimental
station on the farm of Dr. H M.
Alexander, adjoining Marietta, is
now rapidly maturing. and the
work of harvesting has been nearly
completed.

Professor Stewart says this crop,
which is of the Sumatra variety,
compares very favorably with that
grown anywhere in the country.
The texture of the leaf is fine and
the weight will be fully up to the
average, which is from 1,200 to
1,500 pounds to the acre of raw to
bacco and i ,000 pounds of sweated
or cured tobacco. Tobacco grown
in the ordinary way averages about
2,000 pounds to the acre, but the
difference in the price received for
it — fully $1.50 a pound — more than
offsets the difference in weight.

The advantage of raising cover-
grown tobacco is demonstrated by
the two rows of the same kind of
tobacco, which were planted at the
same time and given equal care,
except that they were on the out-
side of the tent. These rows are
coarse, irregular and leathery, while
those on the inside are fine as silk
The cost ol raising tobacco under
cover is estimated to be $100 an
acre, while in the ordinary way the
cost is not quite half that much.

The cigar warehouse ;of Hauen-
stein & Co., at Lincoln, was robbed
of about $150 worth of cigars on
Wednesday night last. The robbers
also carried off a lot of Sumatra
samples belonging to A. Cohn &
Co., of New York, which had been
in possession of E. B. Hauenstein
of this firm who is A. Cohn & Co's.
local representative. A lot of labels,
tin foil, and a number of revenue
stamps were also secured. No clue
has as yet been found.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

WE, WISH YOU
WOULD TRY

We have been advertising the DuBrul
Dieless Suction Table pretty thoroughly and
no doubt you have read some, if not all,
of our statements and arguments in regard

to it.

You may think you see some objection
to this table; you may think there are
some reasons why you do not want it,
or cannot afford to have it; it may be
that in your mind there
are some objections
to this table, which
you think are strong
enough to warrant you
in rejecting it ; it may
be that in your opinion
that you can point
out some reasons why
this table is not a ne-
cessity to you. We
wish you would try.
Nobody has succeeded
in doing it so far, al-
though some people
have tried.

The chief reason
why more cigar manu-
facturers do not keep
pace with modern
' methods and facilities
is that they are not fully informed about
them.

We want you to be fully informed about
the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

Prcbably your opinion of suction tables
is already formed, and it is more than pos-
sible that you object to it on account of
the dies, rollers, and accompanying make-
shift mechanism, which have always been

so serious a disadvantage. Do not allow
this prejudice to influence you against our
new table.

We have overcome every difficulty, removed
every obstacle and now have a perfect table in
every sense of the word.

A little circular knife does the cutting, and
does it better than rollers and dies could ever
do it. This knife is easily kept sharp and

replaced, never needs
adjustment. It always
gives a good, clean edge
to the wrapper. That
makes it good for
' ' Clear Havanas. " There
are no rollers for the
wrappers to get mashed
by or tangled up with.
The rolling is done on a
clear open surface with-
out any obstructions, as
the cutting mechanism
swings up completely
out of the way.

The picture of this
table gives you a pretty
clear idea of it, but if
you want to be informed
fully upon every detail,
write for a copy of our
new booklet on this subject. It will make
interesting reading for you.

if you want information about the best
Die Table, we can give it to you.

We make the best of that kind,
too, and you can see both kinds at our

offices.

Ask us for booklet w. s., when writing

to us.

Leaf Tobacco Markets*

EDGERTON, WIS.
The buying of the new crop is
the absorbing topic of the tobacco
growing section and the movement
has assumed a good deal of head-
way. The crop is being sold so
rapidly that it is difficult to esti
mate what proportion of it has al-
ready been contracted for. In the
opinion of some dealers half the
crop has gone from first hands.
Possibly this is too large an esti
mate, but the sales the past two
weeks reach several thousard acres.
Prices do not change much from
the earlier quotations, Scents being
the most usual figure paid.

The damp weather of the week
has given the buyers ample op-
portunity to examine the crop in
the sheds as most of the early har-

vested portion is cured out, except-
ing the stems. The curing so far
is perfectly satisfactory, the leaf be-
ing thin and light colored.

The market for old stock presents
no new features, only a moderate
trade being indulged in. There is
considerable sampling of the 1901
packings, but no sales are reported.

Bright and Colory tobacco scarce
and in strong request. Bulk of
stock consists of dark long leaf,
well suited for cigar wrappers and
working styles. Demand for these
should be better, as prospects for
long leafy styles in new crop are
not over 10 per cent., and the prices
are low, ranging 7^ to loc. I

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Kleinberg's Chico

We regret to inform our numerous friends
that we have been enjoined from manu-
facturing the famous CHICO cigar. Our
worthy competitors, Otto Eisenlohr &
Bros., claim that our Chico is an infringe-
ment of their CiNCo, and have stopped us
by injunction.

Chico Cigar Co., Phtla.

CLARKSVILLE, TENN.

M. H. Clark & Bro.
Our receipts this week were 14 hhds;
offerings on the breaks, 80 hhds; sales,
72 hhds.

There was not much improvement
in the quality of the oflFerings. The
market was firm and unchanged.
There is still a proportion of late
tobacco in the field which moderat-
ing weather after the light frosts
deterred the planters from cutting,
which has made improvement under
favorable weather. Much of this
tobacco is topped down to four to
six leaves.

Supplies will be scant for tobacco-
extract houses, as Lugs will be high
in price, and but few Stems will be
made, as nearly all stemmeries in
the West promise to be closed, from
the heavy stocks in Great Britain
and probable ruling prices for th«
new crop.

This season an effort will be made
to sell an increased amount of loose
tobacco on warehouse floors. The
change in the method of selling will
be watched by the trade withinterest.

rather startled the growers. Among
the buyers were the American To

Taylor of Westfield, Hoffman of

Hinsdale Smith & Co., L B. Hass
of Hartford and Kaffenburgh of Bos-
ton, and their purchases reached
about 4,000 cases. The prices
ranged from 20 to 22^^ cents, and
even 25 cents assorted. These crops
were mostly in East Hartford, South
Windsor and that vicinity. The
fact that the early-cut tobacco has
cured without any damage is one
reason for these early sales. The
later cut leaf has not yet reached
the stage where it is free from pole

three fifths of the crop is past the Toronto th

Sunderland: "Tobacco is curing
finely. There are no holes made
in it by worms or grasshoppers, and
no pole sweat, because the nights
have been so cool. It is a light,
thin and a very silky leaf, of a light
cinnamon color, and many will be
surprised at the light weight of it,
yet it is quite strong and flexible.
Some lots have a large proportion
of excellent wrappers, remarkably
free from colored spots or freaks."

East Hartford: "We have a start
in the buying tobacco on the poles.

ings, which were very brief, only
lasting about an hour and a half.

Charles J. Mitchell, tobacco job-
ber, was the first witness called on
behalf of the Canadian tobacconists
He testified that he had been trying
to push the sales of the Imperial
Tobacco and Cigarette Company's
wares, which were made in New
Brunswick. He said that he had
been unable to a large extent to do
this because the two American
companies refused to sell goods to
any wholesalers who handled the
New Brunswick firm's goods. He
believed, however, that there were
wholesalers in various parts of Can-
ada who did handle both American

and Canadian tobaccos, while, of
course, retailers dealt in both.

A. Her, bookkeeper for the Mc-
Alpine Tobacco Company, of Tor-
onto, was next called. He testified
that since the Empire Tobacco
Company's exclusive contract sys-
tem had gone into effect his firm
had practically done no business
with wholesalers in Ontario, but
that they still continued selling to
wholesale firms in the Maritime
Provinces. One of the results of
this was that the McAlpine Com
pany had to largely increase their
staflf of travelers in order to sell
direct to the retailers, which greatly
increased the firm's expenses.

On cross examination by Mr.
Campbell, the witness stated that
for a while after the inauguration
of the exclusive contract system his
company carried on business at a
loss, but they had since increased
their business to a profitable level.

H. S. Watts, a retail tobacconist,
with stores on Yonge and Queen
streets, was called in rebuttal by
Mr. Campbell. He said he carried
on a very large business in tobacco
and cigarettes, both of Canadian
and American companies' manufac-
ture. He had found that the Can-
adian made goods were not nearly
as popular as those of the American
and Empire Companies, and quoted
figures to show how small the de-
mand for the Canadian companies'
cigarettes was as compared with the
others. He said he could buy the
Canadian goods more cheaply, but
that it did not pay him to handle
them to any great extent, as the de
mand for them was so small. He
said he paid the rent for his Yonge
street store to an agent of W. B.
Reid & Co., but that they had no
other interest in his premises what-
ever. He bought most of his sup-
plies from Reid & Co., who are the
agents of the American and Empire
Companies.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

Sizes of Tobacco Packages.
A dealer who complained that
manufacturers were still selling
fractional 1^3, 2}4 and 3^ ounce
packages instead of 2, 3 and 4 ounce
packages, was advised that manu-
facturers were privileged to put up
their tobacco in any of the above
mentioned sizes, to meet the de-
mands of their trade, and that the
last paragraph of section 3 of the
act of April 12, 1902, made such
provision.

••lokc" Tobacco.
An individual inquired whether
it would be permissible for him to
put up Joke plug tobacco, described
as being composed of brown paper,
pressed in the form of the usual

wrapper of genuine tobacco. He
was advised that this product, if
made and placed upon the market,
would be subject to the tax of six
cents per pound, and that the man-
ufacturer thereof would be required
to give notice, file bond and com-
ply in every way with the law
governing the manufacture of to-
bacco.

. .. ^ •■*

Tobacco Subdivisions.

The Commissioner has approved
the use of a pasteboard box contain- '
ing 80 unsealed subdivision pack-
ages of one- fifth of an ounce of to-
bacco each, designed for free dis-
tribution. The subdivisions com-
plied with the regulations, as they
contained not more than three-
fourths of an ounce of tobacco each,
and had printed thereon the trade
mark and the words, "This is an
authorized subdivision taken from
a properly stamped package." The
pasteboard box was properly labeled ,
and had affixed to it a sixteen-
ounce internal Revenue stamp prop-
erly canceled.

Cigar Snbdivisions.
The regulations provide that ci-
gars weighing more than three
pounds per thousand (tax- paid at
$3.00 per 1,000) may be put up in
parcels and held together with paper
bands, wax paper or tin foil wrap-
pings, and a statutory number
placed in each box, to be properly
labeled, branded and stamped, the
parcels of cigars, like cheroots, etc.,
to remain in the stamped box until
sold to consumers; but manufac-
turers and dealers have been cau-
tioned time and again that small
cigars and cigarettes weighing not
more than three pounds per thou-
sand must be put up in packages
of 10, 20, 50 or 100, each small
package to be properly stamped,
and that these small stamped pack-
ages may be repacked in cartons
holding 100, 200, 250 or 500 cigars
or cigarettes, the cartons to be
labeled and branded, but not
stamped. It is further advised that 1
such cigars or cigarettes can not be
put up in unstamped subdivision
packages containing other than
the number of cigars above men-
tioned— 10, 20, 50 or 100.

Cigar Box Rolings.

A cigar box manufacturer was
recently advised as follows:

It is not proper for the name of
the cigar box manufacturer and his
trade mark to appear in connection
with the factory number, and the
number of the district and State,
and the number of the cigars con-
tained in the box, which is required
to be branded on each box by the
cigar manufacturer. No objection
will be raised by the Commissioner

name of the manufacturer appear-
ing on the boxes where they are
not in connection with the marks
and brands required by law.

A manufacturer of cigars using
wooden boxes is required, under
Section 3397 of the Revised Statutes
to stamp, indent, burn or impress
into each box in a legible and dur-
able manner the number of cigars
contained therein, the number of
the manufactory, and the number
of the district and State. It is not
permissible for these brands or
marks to be printed on wooden
boxes, but may, under Decision 97,
Compilation of Decisions, Vol. 3,
page III (1900) be printed directly
upon pasteboard, tin, or other pack-
ages approved under the Regula-
tions as substitutes for wooden
boxes for packing cigars.

It is not permissible for a cigar
box manufacturer to use any stamp
or branding iron for indenting, im
pressing, burning or stamping the
factory number, the number of the
district and State, and the number
of cigars on wooden boxes before
delivery to a manufacturer of cigars;
nor is it permissible for a manufac-
turer of cigars to so brand his boxes
that the name of the manufacturer
of boxes shall intervene between
the factory number and the district
and State, and the number of cigars
required to be branded in each box.

required to give a bond conditioned
on the production of a certificate
that the goods have been landed
abroad, the Commissioner advised
the collector for the district in
which the manufacturer was located
that the Regulations, No. 8, page
81, concerning the exportation of
manufactured tobacco, snuflf and ci
gars from a tobacco or cigar factory
without payment of tax, do not
apply to stemmed leaf, which may
be exported by any person, other
than a cigar or tobacco manufac-
turer, in the regular course of trade
A manufacturer of tobacco or ci-
gars desiring to export stemmed or
unstemmed leaf tobacco, unmanu-
factured, can make application to
the collector for a special permit
authorizing its sale or transfer from
his factory to a qualified dealer in
leaf tobacco, or to persons who buy
leaf tobacco in packages for export
exclusively, and such persons would
then be privileged to export the to-
bacco thesame asother merchandise

Rebate Claims.

In the examination of rebate
claims in the office of the Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue, many
have been found containing errors
in computation, frequently so seri-
ous as, when corrected, to reduce
the claim below the $10 limit and
hence result in its rejection.

One claim amounting to $9 99>^
has been rejected as not coming up
to the required minimum of $10.

In a considerable number of cases
it has been found that the claims
have been signed either by individ-
ual members of a firm instead of by
the firm, or by managers or indi-
vidual members of corporations
rather than by some official of the
corporation authorized to sign its
name. All these claims will have
to be returned to the parties sending
them for correction.

In other cases claims have been
certified before justices of the peace
or notaries who have failed to at-
tach their seals or to furnish any
evidence of their right to execute
jurats. Such claims are invalid,
but the Commissioner will permit
them to be returned and corrected.

BY DIVERS HANDS
Chapter XLL WHAT, WE LAZY?

By Sol Rosener, of the Havana-American Co.

A learned pedagogue said the
other day that smoking promoted
laziness. Ergo, every man who
smokes is lazy — at least, he is lazy
while he smokes. That, at any
rate, is what the pedagogue meant,
for he said so. It seems to me he
was a poor logician, as well as a
poor observer of mankind . He tells
us that he himself is in the habit of
smoking after his meals, i. e., pre-
cisely at the times when he is not
teaching.

Let us see what are the facts as
to the mental and physical activ-
ities of three great nations — each of
which is made up of smokers — the
Americans, the English and the
Germans.

Are the Americans lazy? Do we,
as a people, lack energy or enter-
prise? Are we content to follow,
or do we take the initiative? Do
we fall down in the middle of an
undertaking, or do we push on and
then feel sorry because there is
nothing more to do? Go to. Pro-
fessor, you will have to guess again.

And the English? Those smokers
of pipes on the golf links, on the
cricket field, on the moors or on
the river? They've been filling their
lungs with tobacco smoke ever
since Raleigh's time, and there's
no one has pushed the English off
the earth, so far as I can see.

And the Germans? The idols
that live in the popular heart of
Germany, such as Bismarck, Moltke
and Virchow, were all fairly in-
dustrious in their day, and each
smoked as he worked. And be-
hold the country they helped to
make! A fine country, a well
ordered country, a country over
which the smoke of pipe, cigar or
cigarette hovers so thickly that the
stars at night are troubled to get
their bearings.

What, we lazy? We who love
tobacco? Who buy it and sell it,
who make it into cigars or cigarettes
or for the pipe, into the toothsome
quid, or for the expectant nose?

\ Nay, Professor, your indictment
\ will not stand.

! Say of us anything else you like,
I and if it's as good a joke as what
I you've said about our being lazy,
I we'll enjoy it with you.

Tell us we don't know too much
about our own business, and we'll
gladly go to school to you, for we
are a lowly- minded lot, and are

tick.'ish matter. We do the best
we know how. We put the best
man we can find at the head of our
working forces; we pay the wages
that are exacted of us; we smoke up
a countless number of our own ci
gars and pull them to pieces while
we are doing so, just to find out
how they are put together; we send
them forth into the world looking

Mr. Sol Roshner.

ever striving to learn. We admit
we do not know all there is to be
known about the weed out of which
we make our cigars, our cigarettes
or our smoking, or chewing, or
snuff mixtures, but if you would
take the trouble to note the dili-
gence, the assiduity, the persistence,
with which we attack this ever
puzzling subject, perhaps you would
admit we have not been wasting
our time.

Tell us we don't know a well-
made cigar from an indifferently
made one, and we'll promise you
our undivided attention for as long
as you may choose to hold forth,
for, indeed, Professor, this is a very

snug and comfortable in the boxes,
and as like each other as peas in a
pod; in short, dear sir, we act alto
gether like the honest, hardwork-
ing people we are — and honesty
and industry are twins; and yet we
never fall in convulsions if some of
them afterwards are returned to us
as being fit only for the kitchen fire.
That is our habitually humble at
titude toward those whose lofty
favor we supplicate, namely, those
who buy our products.

Tell us the labels on our boxes
are garish and an affront to the eye
of culture, and we'll shake hands
with you as with a long lost brother.
That is something which for years

we have been dinning into the ears
of the people of whom we buy these
things, and we feel that it is, oh,
so true! But where is the remedy?
The lithographers are very per-
suasive, and so very artful. The
pictures they show us are always
so very attractive, and so we buy,
and buy, and buy, and all the time
weiknow we are not encouraging
art. At least, not art with a' big,
big A. Our I justification in this
matter. Professor, must ever be,
that aestheticism is not our cult,
but business is. And the dear
public understands us and forgives
us, tolerates our pictures, and in its
leisure — its leisure, mind — smokes
our cigars. It's a round world, after
all. But against all the pictures
on all the cigar boxes that ever
were made I will contrast one which
no human mind will have any dif-
ficulty in painting for itself. It is
that of an old man, yes, or even of
an aged dame, puffing contentedly
at cigar or pipe; life's toil is nearly
over. The gray hairs, the placid
smile, the dimming* eyes, or the
eyes from which perhaps the sight
has already gone — how beautiful
these are, seen through a cloud of
tobacco smoke. You may say many
things. Professor, in disparagement
of us who place our product where
the public may buy, but you cannot
rob us of our credit as painters of
this picture.

We will concede everything ex-
cepting one thing. We will not
admit that we*are laxy or the oc-
casion of laziness in others. We
work hard, and the product we turn
out sweetens toil for us and for all
the world. A good cigar or cigar-
ette, a pipeful of good smoking to-
bacco, a well-made piece of plug or
fine cut, a noseful or even a tooth-
ful of good snuff, is as refreshing as
a kiss and far more lasting. If you
are pasttheage of kissing, Professor,
which as a polite author I hope is
not the case, ask your young men
if I am not right.

The Morgan Marshall Case.

The frequent postponements of
the hearing of the box stuflBng
charges against Morgan Marshall,
a well-known retailer of Broadway
and Chambers street, New York,
are giving rise to all kinds of talk.
Commissioner Shields, before whom
the hearing is to take place, has
returned fr^m his vacation and was
on hand in the Federal Courts build
ing at two o'clock on September 29,
when it was expected that the case
would go on. Revenue Agent
Thompson, who arrested Marshall
on August 14, came down from
Albany, but nothing was doing, and
the case went over until two o'clock
the next day. At two o'clock on
September 30, Mr. Thompson and
a number of other witnesses for the
prosecution were on hand, as was
also Joel N. Marks, who is Mr.
Marshall's attorney. To the sur-
prise of all concerned Gen. Burnett,
the U. S. District Attorney, ap
peared in person to represent the
Government. It is said that this
is the first time that any U. S. Dis
trict Attorney has appeared in per-
son in a box stuflBng case. It has
been the uniform custom, say those
who are familiar with procedures
of this kind, to have the Govern
ment represented by one of the Dis-
trict Attorney's assistants or deputy-
assistants.

At the hearing on September 30,
Mr. Marks asked for an adjourn-
ment until 10.30 o'clock on October
14. General Burnett interposed no
objection, and the hearing was
accordingly thus set down on Com-
missioner Shields' calendar. A re-
porter for the New York City Press

Association, which manifolds
routine court news for all the econ
omical New York city dailies, and
who professes to be thoroughly
familiar with everything that goes
on in the Federial Courts building,
offers odds that the Morgan Mar
shall case will never be tried. He
says postponement will follow post
ponement until the whole thing
dies an obscure death in some
pigeonhole in the U. S. District
Attorney's ofl5ce.

It is well known that certain
gentlemen connected with the im-
ported cigar department of the to
bacco trust are taking a keen in
terest in these box stuflfing cases,
and that fact has undoubtedly given
rise to the report that the trust has
instigated the Internal Revenue
Commissioner's present activity in
this matter. But some of those
who repeat these stories go to ex
traordinary lengths. They say not
only that the trust is behind the
prosecutions, but that agents of its
hiring have put up the jobs against
each of the arrested men. One of
the men who are now in the toils
is reported to have said that the
spurious cigars found in his im-
ported boxes were put there with-
out his knowledge by paid employes
of the trust! Those who repeat
stories of this kind allege that the
industrious ubiquity of the trust in
the matter of these arrests is dictated
by its "ravenous" determination to
get control of the cigar business of
the United States. The gossips
ignore totally the fact that as owner
of a number of the largest cigar
factories in Cuba the trust has a
legitimate interest in seeing that
when the public asks for an im-
ported cigar, of whatever brand, it
shall get that cigar and nothing
else.

Two Famous No, s^s.

Two famous buildings in the New
York leaf district are No. 5 Cedar
street and No. 5 Burling Slip.

At No. 5 Cedar street, in 1852,
Ferdinand Cullman was the pro-
prietor of a cigar factory employ-
ing 75 hands. Mr. Cullman, who
is now in his eighty- second year,
and remarkably well-preserved, re
calls that fifty years ago it was his
custom to go to certain points in
the South and thence send orders
to his factory for 200,000 or 300,-
000, or even 500,000 cigars, to be
shipped to him. Then he would
visit the trade and dispose of those
cigars. They used to go off like
hot cakes, too.

At No. 5 Burling Slip, which
since 1862 has been occupied by E
Spingarn & Co., first as a cigar
factory but since 1868 for the pur
pose of conducting a leaf tobacco
business, a number of gentlemen,
who are now millionaires, worked
at the bench as journeymen cigar-
makers. No. 5 Burling Slip and
the building adjoining, at No. 7,
were at one time utilized as a cigar
factory by the well remembered
Mark Sharkey, the "Marquis de
Sharkey" of Mr. Leo Gershel's
delightful chapter of the Comic
History of Tobacco.

American Two to One.

Mr. Thomas F. Ryan, First Vice
President of the Consolidated To-
bacco Co., who reached New York
from London on the Kaiser Wil
helm der Grosse, on September 30,
and who is accordingly the first of
the Americans interested in the set
tlement of the tobacco war in Eng
land to reach New York , was quoted
in the New York dailies of October
I, as saying that tlie Englishmen
had been the victors in the struggle,
which is precisely what Mr. Ryan
did not say and what he would not
dream of saying. His authorized
statement, given out on October 2,
is as follows:

The agreement made between the
representatives of the Imperial To
bacco Company of England on the
one hand and the Consolidated To
bacco Company on the other was
mutual in its character and entirely
satisfactory to both sides. It was
accomplished by friendly confer
ence after full consideration of the
interests of all parties afiected. The
agreement has an international
character which has not belonged,
I think, to any previous trade ar-
rangement. It means the union of
the representatives of an important
business in Great Britain and Amer
ica for the purpose of seeking trade
hand in hand throughout the world.

My visit to London grew out of
an invitation extended to me in July
last by the directors of the British
company, after several of the di
rectors had visited the United States
and while here had conferred with
Mr. Duke, President of the Consoli-
dated Tobacco Company, and my-
self regarding the respective inter
ests of the companies we repre-
sented. The agreement made to
transfer to the Imperial Tobacco
Company the business of the Con-
solidated Tobacco Company in Eng-
land was made for full and satis-
factory consideration. The Ameri
can company becomes a large share-
holder in the English company,
with three representatives on its
board of directors, one of whom is
Mr. Duke.

The Consolidated Tobacco Com-
pany will pursue its business in the

American field, including not only
the United States, but Cut^a, Porto
Rico, the Hawaiian Islandsand the
Philippines, wiiliout competition
from the B itish company The
Imperial company will not en-
counter the competition of the
American company in the business
of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, including Sect-
land and Wales In the new Brit-
ish-American company, the Britis-h
company has one third of the stock
and the American company has*
two thirds. The board of directors i
consists of six representatives of
the British company and twelve of
the American, with Mr. Dnke as
its president, who remains abroad!
to perfect the organization This !
British- Araericancompany will take
over the entire business of the Im-
perial company and of the Consoli-
dated company in all foreign coun-
tries and in the colonies of Great
Britain, including India, Canada
and Australia The agreement
made is satisfactory to both sides
and equitable to all interests repre-
sented.

The Bagle not the King

ot Birds.

Washington, October 5, 1902
Dear Medicine Man:

I listened to a lecture on birds,
last week, which sent me home
thinking. The lecturer, a distin-
guished ornithologist, said that the
eagle, so dear to the hearts of all
true born Amtricans, is not the
king of birds, and to what fowl of
the air, do you think, he assigns
that lofty place? To the crow! I am
so shocked that I have decided to
ask you upon what foundation this
amazing statement is based.

Lithographer's Apprentice

Answer

Upon that of many distinguished
ornithologists.

Sixty years ago McGillivray a dis-
tinguished ornithologist, announced
that the crows must be accounted
among the most highly organized of
birds.

More recently, Professor Parker
said: "In all respects — physiologi-
cal , morphological , and ornithologi-
cal— the crow may be placed at the
head, not only of its own great
series (birds of the crow form), but
also as the unchallenged chief of
the whole of the carinatae."

The carinatae, I may be pardoned
for explaining, is that family of
birds distinguished by a projecting
breast bone, and to this family the
eagles belong.

Professor Alfred Newton pays
this tribute to His Majesty King
Corvus: "It is, therefore, confi
dently, that the present writer as-
serts, as Professor Parker, with far
more right to speak on the subject,
has already done; that at the head
of the class aves (birds) must stand
the family corvidae, of which family
no one will dispute the superiority
of the genus corvus, nor in that
genus the pre eminence of corvus
corax, the widely- ranging raven of
the Northern Hemisphere, the bird
perhaps the best known from the
most ancient times, and, as it hap-
pens, that to which belongs the
earliest historical association with

man.

The Tobacco Plant* s

Insect Mneniies,

East Hartford, Conn., Oct. i, '02
Dear Medicine Man:

Please give a list of some of the
commoner enemies of the tobacco
plant. My fields frequently suflfer
from their ravages, but I do not
know their names. Grower.

Answer

An active little pest, familiar in
almost every tobacco field from
Connecticut to Florida, is the to-
bacco flea beetle, or flea bug, as it
is commonly called by tobacco
growers.

It isa minute, oval, reddish-brown
species, which occurs upon many
solanaceous plants, feeding upon
tomato, potato, horse nettle and
jimson weed. The beetles make
their appearance in July, attacking
first the lower and then the upper
leaves of tobacco. After they have
fed awhile the crop becomes full of
small, dry spots, and then of holes
about the size of a pin point, which
later may become considerably en-
larged. When a crop that has
suffered from their attacks is cured
it is poor and thin, and frequently
full of small holes. While the main
damage is done in the birth condi-
tion, the insect feeds also, in its

early stages, upon tobacco. Its
eggs being laid at the roots hatch
into minute, whitish larvae, which
feed upon the roots. The damage
done to the roots in this way must
affect the health of the plant to a
certain extent, but it is not appreci-
able in comparison with the damage
which the adult beetles do to the
leaf. It is not alone in the actual
damage to the leaves done by the
jaws of the beetle that the insect is
injurious to the foliage of tobacco.
The little holes made by it, even
when the puncture is not through
the entire thickness of the leaf, be-
come the entrance points of fungus
spores or bacteria which start a dis-
ease of the leaf which frequently
damages it much more than the in-
sects themselves. In moist weather
this disease, started by the flea
beetles, may do considerable damage
when the flea beetles themselves are
comparatively scarce. The most
common form of this damage is
known as "frog eye" or "white
speck." In Europe a similar dis-
ease is called "smallpox."

The tobacco horn worms are well
known to Connecticut tobacco
growers as a "bad lot." There are
two species of large sphinx moths
whose larvae, or caterpillars, cut
the leaves of tobacco, tomato and
allied plants, including, occasion-
ally, the Irish potato. Tobacco
raisers do not distinguish between
the two different kinds of horn
worms, nor is it, for practical pur-
poses, of the least importance that
they should. The caterpillars bear
upon one of the posterior segments
of the body a rather stout, curved
horn, which gives them the popular
name of horn worms, which, in
Maryland and Virginia, is changed
to "horn blowers." The horn on
the end of the body of one species is
red, and of the other black, other-
wise there is little difference between
them. Both are green in color,
with oblique white stripes on the
sides of the body. The curious
brown pupa into which the cater-
pillar transpires, popularly called
the "jug handle," and which is
found under the surface of the
ground, is at once recognized by
the handle shaped projection which
issues from the top of the head, and
is really the tongue case. From
this pupa or chrysalis, the adult
moths issue. Horn worms are more
or less abundant in the tobacco
fields over the entire tobacco grow-
ing regions of the United States.
They are abundant enough in Con-
necticut, and would be far more
numerous were not tobacco farmers
so constantly on the alert for their
destruction. In the greater part of
the tobacco-growing regions of the
country there are two "crops"
or broods of worms in a season.

In Virginia there are occasional in-
dications of a second generation of
horn worms. In Florida there are
three, and probably four. In Cuba,
where the horn worm is said to be
a severe pest to the tobacco industry,
there is probably an even larger
number of generations. The dam
age done by horn worms varies
greatly in diflferent seasons. Fre-
quently, for a number of years, they
will not be too abundant to be kept
down readily by hand picking, and
then will come a season in which
they are so numerous that it is very
diflficult to save the crop without
incurring a prohibitive expense.

An insect called the "suck fly,"
new as a tobacco pest and also new
to science, is already regarded as a
serious enemy of tobacco in Florida
and other States far South. The
•'suck fly" damages the leaf by
sucking the cell sap through its

about 15 per cent, during the week
as compared with the previous one.

Havana cigar and cigarette man-
ufacturers were the heaviest pur-
chasers, taking 4,700 bales, while
dealers and manufacturers from the
United States secured 2,900 bales,
and the balance of i ,000 bales was
taken for export to Europe, the
purchasers for the Austrian Regie
having bought 700 bales of the
latter. According to growths 3,700
bales of clean fillers and fa'^tory
vegas consisted of Vuelta Abajo
with 1 ,000 bales of botes and colas
additional, while 2,300 bales were
of Partidos, also clean fillers and
factory vegas, and of Remedies i,-
300 bales of old and 300 bales of
new second capaduras changed
hands.

Owing to the comparatively low
figures for old Remedios, there has
been more call for this article and

beak The infested leaf soon be- unless holders should advance their

comes yellowish in color, and some-
what wilted, and the older leaven
eventually split to pieces, so that
they becoma very ragged. Ex-
perienced tobacco growers say leaves

pretensions too much, the chances
are in favor of a continued demand,
notwithstanding the fact that the
consumption in the United States
has not increased, but, on the con-

which have been badly infested byltrary, may have decreased some-

this insect are very difl&cult, if not
impossible, to properly cure.

the minute caterpillar lives between
the surfaces of the leaf, making a
flat mine, often of considerable size,
with a gray discoloration visible
from both sides of the leaf. This
insect is a pest from Virginia to
Florida, but is not known farther
North than Virginia.

the tobacco thrips, the cabbage

A Brisk Leaf Business
in Havana.

The market in Havana for the
week ending September 27, has
again been very active and the
amount of sales aggregate 8,600
bales of the different growths and
classes. Prices remain as high as
ever, and the tendency is still up-
ward for all grades excepting the
botes part, of which there is an
abundance, although later on in the
season every bale of botes may be
needed for the cigarette manufac-
turers and also for export to Europe.
Receipts from the country increased

damage has not been too great,
there may be enough plants to go
around from other districts and no
harm may have been done. The
coming month of October is, how-
ever, always a very critical period
for the vegueros, owing to the pre-
valence of cyclones in the Carribean
sea.

From some points complaints arc
also heard that the moneyed inter-
ests are not as willing as formerly
to help the small farmers in buying
manure and plants, and this might
prove a serious drawback in raising
a big crop in the Vuelta Abajo.
Mostly all the vegueros are more or
less in debt usually to the bode-
gueros (grocery and country stores
in the small villages), and as the
last crop was a financial failure for
them, the uncertainty whether the
1903 season might prove more
favorable makes the bodegueros un-
willing to advance more money and
thuseventually increase their doubt-
ful, and in most cases uncollectable,
outstandings. The large planters
and corporations which possess
their own grounds will, however,
doubtless raise more tobacco than
ever, provided the weather condi-
tions prove favorable.

Havana Cigar Factories.

It may safely be said that all

factories are now working with full

forces, a few only being hampered

by the still too uncured condition of

the new leaf. Exports by the Morro

Castle on September 27, were over

4,000,000 cigars. The Henry Clay

and Bock& Co., Ltd., bought 1,100

bales of the highly prized and aro

matic Montezuelo fillers and by

mixing them with their other choice

Vuelta Abajo leaf they should pro

duce an excellent cigar this year.

They also secured 1,000 bales of

colas for their cigarette factories.

H.de Cabanas y Carvajal purchased

another 500 bale lot of Vuelta Abajo

factory vegas. Suarez y Co. ("La

Flor de J. S. Murias") say that

their packings of Vuelta Abajo have

given them plenty of wrappers, and

that the leaf has as fine an aroma as

was ever produced in any year.

They are working with all hands,

and their orders by cable and mail

are increasing almost daily. H.

Upmann & Co. cannot fill their

orders fast enough, and are working

like beavers.

U. S. cigar Manufiicturers.

Henry F. Stock was fortunate in
finding another 500 bales of choice
leaf and thus swells his total pur-

house is close to the river front, the
water working through the soil ex-
erts a tremendous pressure on its
basement which extends some seven
feet below the level of the street.
Several builders who were consid
ering taking the contract refused to
undertake to built the basement for
that reason. It was necessary to
have it so arranged that it would
afford a good dry storage chamber
for tobacco. The expedient was
finally devised of making the floor

bacco stored in the building. The
stories being but eight feet high
have the additional advantage that
stored tobacco will not be dried out
by currents of air, because when
filled with tobacco there will not be
more than half a foot of space be
tween the topmost bale and the
ceiling.

All the upper floors of the build-
ing above the fourth story are clear
of obstruction from adjoining build-
ings, and therefore offer exceptional
advantages for the storing of Turk-
ish tobacco, which especially de-
mands abundance of light and air.

The building is fitted throughout
with burglar and fire alarm service.

The government officer in charge
at 84 85 South street is Mr. Ken
nedy. His office is in the front of
the building and on the main floor.

The officers of C C. Hamilton &
Co., are on the floor above, and
will be presided over by Mr. C. E.
Hamilton, son of the senior member
of the firm.

The attention of the readers of
The Tobacco World is courteously
directed to the card of C. C. Hamil

tising columns.

That there is a scarcity in the

^ Ptiiladelphia Trade Passes a Quiet Week.

The tobacconists of this city are
having a quiet trade this week.
The continued disagreeable weather
has not improved the condition any,
either. Cigar manufacturers seem
to be getting satisfactory reports
from representatives on the road.
It is only occasionally that a report
of comparative dullness is heard.

Our progressive manufacturers
several weeks ago began to pay
special attention to their holiday
trade, and several of the factories
have booked good- sized orders for
packages specially intended for the
holiday season. |

J. L. Lyons, a cigar dealer at
Twentieth and South streets, was
recently arrested upon the charge of
having sold cigarettes to children
under sixteen years of age. He was
convicted of the charge in Quarter
Sessions last week, but was dis-
charged upon his own recognizance
to appear when wanted. |

S. T. Banham, of the well known
jobbing firm of S. T. Banham &
Bro. , Manayunk. returned last
week from a several months tour
through Englandand theContinent.
He had a very enjoyable trip, and
was greatly pleased on learning that
the firm's trade was in excellent]
condition at the present time. I

A new cigar store was recently
opened at Fifteenth and Federal
streets by H. Miller, which is hand-
somely fitted up, and the genial
proprietor is making very courage-
ous efforts to make it one of the
principal stores in that section of
the city.

Another new store was opened
by D. Miller at 1157 Passyunk
arenue. Mr. Miller is also a cigar
manufacturer, and is confident of
doing a good retail trade at this
place.

Hon. Tom. Dean, the genial
representative of the Cuban- Ameri-
can Manufacturing Co., stopped in
Philadelphia on Saturday last, en
route to Tampa. He had just time
enough for a cordial handshake
with a few of his many friends in
this city.

J. W. Madison, the general repre-
sentative of Trujillo & Co., of New
York, made a short stay in this city

i recently, having just returned from
the New England States, where he
scored quite a victory in the firm's
products.

J. Bayuk, at Sixth and Walnut
streets, has successfully launched
his Jeffersonian clear Havana little
cigars, which are put up in bundles
of ten each, and retail at ten cents.

It is now confidently hoped that
E. G. Dunlap, of Arguelles, Lopez
& Bro., will be able to come to
Philadelphia from Cleveland by the
end of this week.

B, Wasserman, the well-known
cigar importer, and Mr. Abrams,
with Garcia, Caracaba & Vega,
both of New York, were among
this week's visitors in this city.

Joseph C. Heymann, of T. J.
Dunn & Co., has returned from his
bridal tour and has actively resumed
I his duties with that firm. It is re-
\ ported by this house that their trade
is at present in a very prosperous j
condition and that their facilities are
being taxed to the utmost.

Sig. C. Mayer, of Morris D. Neu-
mann & Co., of this city, returned
recently from a highly successful
trip through the Southern States.

Frank Dominguez, of E. A.
Calves A Co., has just returned
from Cuba, and reports the purchase
of about 800 bales of Havana. He
informed the writer that this year's
crop of Pardito and Vuelta is a
failure, and that he does not think
the Remedios will turn out any too
well.

Walter Lazar, with Sutter Bros.,
had a narrow escape from personal
injury at Atlantic City a few days
ago. As it is, his bicycle was com-
pletely crushed in an elevator, and
Walter was laid up temporarily.

Sidney Labe, of Benjamin Labe
& Sons, sailed on the St. Paul, last
Saturday, for home, having pur-
chased in all about 640 bales of Su-
matra for his house.

Julius Hirschberg, of Julius
Hirschbcrg & Bro., left for his home
at Tallahassee, Fla., last week.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION IVlACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thns maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

PHILA. LEAF MARKET.

The leaf trade has had another
quiet week. Only small sales have
been reported, but in rather more
numerous transactions. Inquiries
for goods have come in at a fairly
rapid rate, but as yet have resulted
only in sales pending.

Sumatra is more steady and fairly
active, but of small volume.

Havana is moving in a fairly sat
isfactory way, and yet manufac
turers seem willing to make pur-
chases of such goods only as may
be needed for early use.

LANCASTER'S REPORT.

Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 6, 1902.

Last week was a busy one in the
leaf trade here, and several sales of
importance which had been pend-
ing for some little time were finally
consummated, running the total
volume of business up several thou
sand cases.

Mr. Goldberg, of Kramer & Gold-
berg, recently returned from San
Francisco, where he disposed of
about 800 cases, which have lately
been shipped.

Sales aggregating about 1,000
cases are also reported by M. M.

Fry, and others who have been
among the more active ones were I.
H. Weaver, John D. Skiles, C. W.
Bitner, and Walter S. Bare. I. H.
Weaver reported over 400 cases

sold.

Several of the country packers
have also reported sales. Baker &
Eshleman, at Ephrata, report 200
cases of 1901.

There is comparatively little
sampling remaining to be done, and
all in all the crop has shown up in
a way that is really gratifying to the
packers.

Some buying is still in progress,

Latest News from York, Pa.

The manufacturers of this vicinity
while certainly very busy, are
forced to idleness owing to the
murky weather and consequent in-
ability to work the tobacco. To
further this discomfort the weather
still continues as it has been for the
past ten days.

A scarcity of hands is another
drawback to more substantial busi-
ness at Windsorville, Pa. Mr.
Gable of that place reports that
over 200 cases of cigars were ship-
ped from his factory during Sep-
tember.

David Forrey, the manufacturer
of ''Tub Chewing Tobacco," is en-
larging his present Queen street
plant to accomodate the increasing
orders for his output. The addition
is a three story brick building, and
when completed will contain all the
modern appliances for manufactur-
ing chewing tobaccos.

One of the South George street
cigar dealers is demonstrating to
his friends and patrons the culture
of the tobacco leaf by having on
exhibition two healthy tobacco
plants, which, by the way, make
acceptable house plants. In size
and appearance they surpass any
attempts at field culture.

I.E. Hostetter has finished cutting
his shade grown tobacco, and is
satisfied the experiment has been an
initial success toward larger culture
in this manner here in the future.
It is hoped this demonstration has
aroused sufl&cient interest to warrant
this belief.

The receipts at the revenue ofl5ce
at York for September were over
$10,000 inexcess of thosefor August
showing conclusively the recent in
crease in the cigar trade here.

A meeting of the Eastern Cigar
Box Manufacturers' Association
will be held in York on Friday
next. This action is the direct out-
come of a semi annual meeting of
that organization held in Philadel-
phia last week, and which was not
very largely attended.

was eflfected from the rear, and up
to the present time no clue has been
obtained as to the identity of the
robbers.

Messrs. Hover & Kaufifman, of
Starview, report that their trade has
never been better, and are satisfied
if the present number of orders on ^P*^
hand will continue indefinitely.

The cigarmaking business is
booming in all sections of York
County. In many districts there is
a scarcity of cigarmakers and the
output in many factories is curtailed
because of the manufacturers being
unable to get more hands. The
Key store Cheroot Company, of Han-
over, find it absolutely necessary to
increase its output to 250,000 che-
roots a day in order to supply the
demand for its goods. The company
has advertised for 100 girls ard boys
and if sufficient help is available in
Hanover, the old shoe factory build-
ing will be fitted up with the latest
improved machinery for the manu-
facture of cheroots. The present
output of the company is 50,000
cheroots a day. In event of the
company being unable to secure
sufficient help in Hanover, the com-
pany will transfer its factory to
Chambersburg, Franklin County,
where great inducements have been
offered, and where plenty of help
can be secured.

Joseph R. Strawbridge, solicitor,
has given notice through the daily
newspapers, that application will be
made on October 22 by Jacob E.
Weaver, J. George Schneider and
CI. Weaver, for a charter under
the laws of Pennsylvania for a cor-
poration to be known as the Weaver
Tobacco Company. The new con-
cern will manufacture smoking and
chewing tobacco.

Cigar manufacturers throughout
York County are interested in the
candidacy of David B. Goodling, of ^)1'
Logan ville, for member of the State
legislature on the Republican ticket.
Mr. Goodling is the leading cigar
manufacturer in Loganville, which
position he reached by thorough
and honest business qualifications.
He is a typical York Countian, and
if elected by the people will be the
right sort of a man to represent
York County at the State capital.

CSTABLISHCO \Vn^

Chicago, Oct. 3, 1902.

Over 500 cigarand tobaccodealers
and manufacturers attended the
meeting of the Retail Cigar Dealers'
Association of America, held at the
Masonic Temple last week.

Clarence Darrow, Frank S. Wil-
son and William Prentiss, lawyers,
and M. W. Diffley, cigar dealer,
made speeches, and the following
officers were elected:

President — Thaddeus H. Howe

Secretary — William F. Crowley.

Treasurer — Hiram L. Wiltse.

Vice Presidents — ^John J Dolan
Ralph Sprague, and H. A. Roberts.

Over 400 members have been en-
rolled and seventy five applications i
for membership were received at the
meeting.

Clarence Darrow urged the dealers
to organize thoroughly and then
refuse to handle anything but union-
made goods.

Another speaker who talked on

the benefits of organization wanted

the association to adopt a by- law

imposing a penalty of I too on any

member found guilty of dealing in

combine goods. He declared that

this was the only way to make the

organization thoroughly effective.

The combine he said, was offering

temptation all the time to the small

dealer, and a fine of |roo would be

a check on such men. The same

speaker advised the abolition of the

internal revenue law as a means of

disruption, holding that this would

open the way to all who wished to

engage in the tobacco business.

Lengthy resolutions were adopted

deprecating the oflfering of prizes
by dealers, the use of billboard ad-
vertising, and the use of inferior
material by manufacturers who
found their profits cut down by the
combine.

It is said there are 25,000 retail
cigar and tobacco dealers in Chica-
go. All of them will be urged to
join the association. It is the in-
tention of the organizers to make
it national in scope, and to have a
distinctive sign over the doors of
places of business of those who are
members.

Circular letters are to be sent out
by Cigarmakers' Union 14, to all
trade unions in Chicago, explain-
ing in full the various phases of the
present fight against the so called
trust. All union men will be asked
to purchase tobacco from none but
the independent dealers. It is ex-
pected that this letter will reach
over 175,000 men, most of whom
are smokers.

Sympathy for the cause of the
Association was expressed in a
practical manner at the meeting
whenM. J. Friedmanand L. Crump,
both dealers in leaf tobacco, gave
$100 each, to be used in the fight
against the tobacco combine. It is
expected that their action will re-
sult in other wealthy members of
the organization donating sums of
money.

Canada's Cigar Increase,

The increase in the production of
cigars in Canada daring the past
fiscal >ear, is estimated at 7 per
cent, over the production of the
preceding year.

Observers of conditions in the
two countries are of opinion that
the indications are that in the United
States the ratio of the increase in
the consumption of articles of lux-
ury, like cigars, is about 15 per
cent, which may turn out to be a
useful hint to those who will esti-
mate the production of cigars in the
United States next December under
the conditions of the Florodora Tag
Go's. $143,500 offer.

/. Mdward Cowles*
Proposition,

A somewhat novel, as well as in-
teresting proposition was made to
dealers in last week's edition of
Austin, Nichols & Go's. Weekly
Price Current, by J.Edward Cowles,
manager of the cigar department of
that well-known distributing house.

Mr. Cowles used in connection
with the space devoted to his weekly
announcement, the annexed illus-
tration of his "Exhibition Box,"
and presented the following reasons
for doing so. He said:

"Here is an opportunity to cater
to the connoisseur and high class
trade generally, without purchasing
a large stock or taking unnecessary
chances. A reputation for hand-
ling fine goods in any line, will help
your trade in all lines, inspire con-
fidence in the article, you recom-
mend, and add tone and character
to your business. Try one of the
above assortments and learn just
what your trade requires."

He referred to an assortment of
50 cigars, as shown in the illustra-
tion, of their J. Edward The First
brand of clear Havana cigars, upon
which he was makingaspecial drive.

— The steamer Chalmette, leaving
Havana for New Orleans on Sept.
27, carried ten bales of leaf tobacco
consigned to A. Hussey & Co., St.
Louis, Mo.

THE TOOL AND
^ THE HAND ^

By use of the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table
and the hand of the operator you get a perfect
cigar, and a perfect cigar is what we are
looking tor.

The imperfections of a machine made cigar
are many and glaring.

A machine could make a passable cigar if
every bunch were like every other bunch. Such
is not the case, but the
machine goes on working
just as if it were, and no
wrapper really and faith-
fully follows the lines of
the bunch; consequently,
we have loose wrappers,
pockets, false heads, and
a cigar whose wrapper
shrivels up and makes
what would otherwise
be recognized as a fine
smoke look like a
twofer.

The human hand is
the only machine that can
properly roll and wrap
a cigar.

It cuts a better wrapper than a table fitted
with dies and rollers could possibly cut. It
doesn't get out of order and require constant
attention and repair. It leaves the table open
and flat for the operator to work upon, with
no dies or other makeshift in the way. Palm
work comes natural instead of finger work, as
is the case when dies are used.

This table is so sim-
ple in action, and its
working parts are so few
and easily understood
and kept in good shape,
that operators are glad to
use it ; they won't use
any other if they can
help it.

To further progress,
we should like to see
some way to improve
this table, but how
it can be improved
we must admit is
altogether too much
for us.

There are a multi-

The hand of the operator with a wrapper
cut and held stretched on a DuBrul Dieless
Suction Table makes a cigar which comes as
near perfection as anything produced by human
effort can be.

The Dieless Table has come to stay.
It will most certainly supplant all other
tables.

tude of reasons why this table is needed by
you, and a line from you will bring the reasons

from us.

If you must use a Die Table, you
ought to use the best of that sort. We
make it, and we can show it to you at our
offices.

Trade in Reading.

Cigar manufacturer Edward Gan-
ter, who recently returned from an
extensive trip through the western
part of the United States, has taken
out a permit with Revenue Collector
Cranston, to manufacture chewing
and smoking tobaccosof the "butts"
brand on the third fljor of his ci
•gar factory. His bond in $2,000
was approved by Mr. Cranston. A
number of additional hands will be
-employed.

The Union Cigar Company, hav-
ing filed a bond in the sum of $1,000
with Collector Cranston, will begin
the manufacture of cigars next
■week, at 450 North iith street
They will employ ten hands.

Moore & Schlack, proprietors of
the Mansion House cigar store and
billiard parlors, have completed
making a number of improvements
to their place of business. The
walls of the rooms have been re-
papered and the brass racks, orna-
ments, etc., have been repolished
and the pool tables have been re-
paired.

Dr. Milton G. Hollis has rented
the store room at 228 Penn street,
and will begin the manufacture of
^Egyptian cigarettes as soon as his
imported tobaccos arrive from New
York. He will engage in the man-
ufacture of high grade Turkish ci
garettes and engaged the services
of expert Greek and Turkish work-
men The cigarettes will all be
hand made. Mr. Hollis has copy-
righted a name, which is now in
Washington being registered.

The Colonial Cigar and Tobacco
Co., M. S. Taylor, manager, is in-
creasing sales weekly. They now
serve 220 stores in Reading and
vicinity, and are looking for larger
headquarters, their present place
at 5 South 9th street being entirely
too small.

F. K. Reed, of the Doremus Au-
tomatic Vending Co. , of New York,
has inspected the set of sample cigar
slot machines made at the National
Brass Works on a contract for 100, •
000. The machines proved satis
factory, and the factory is likely to
be run on cigar slot machines for
some time.

Taylor Bros. Tobacco Company
received large orders from Missouri
for their Union Butts, and for Good
Stuflf, their new brand. Large
orders have also been received from
Pittsburg, McKeesport and John
stown. They have installed an
automatic dryer, with a capacity of
600 pounds per day, and an engine
and boiler to operate their cutting
machines, of which they have the
latest designs. John F. Taylor,

manager of the concern has returned
from a recent successful western
trip. The factory will occupy the
entire four floors of the Cheetham
Building, at Carpenter and Cherry
streets, by October 15.

Lawrence Stocker, Reading's
champion professional pool player,
and one of the cracks of the stale,
who has been employed at Moore's
pool parlors for some years, left on
Monday for Wilkesbarre, where he
will take charge of one of the larg
est pool parlors and cigar stores in
the place.

P. K Steffy, cigar manufacturer
of Sinking Springs, is making alter-
ations to his factory.

C. M. Yetter, cigar manufacturer
at Mohnsville, is building a large
addition to his cigar factory. George
Pawling has the contract. When
completed work will be given to a
number of additional hands.

For the first time in the history
of this district the receipts from ci
gar stamps exceeded the sale of
beer stamps here. In other months
the beer revenue receipts weri twice,
and in some months three times, as
large as the receipts from cigar
stamps. The falling oflf in beer
stamps is the result of the strike in
the coal regions.

Frank A. Weber has started a
union label factory at 142 Cedar
street, and was granted the use ol
the Cigarmakers' Union label. Mr.
Weber is a large distributor in New
York, and has engaged Frank J.
Hunt, a former well-known cigar
manufacturer of Reading, as fore-
man of the factory.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
Such sales as have been made
upon the poles have been for very
fair prices. We have heard of but
one for less than 20 cents in the
bundle, and 22^ to 25 cents when
assorted. These were doubtles?
fine and desirable crops But this
can be said of the bulk of the crops.
The main difference is found to be
largely in the colors The real Bos
ton lights have the preference It
is all sound , free from holes or dam
age of any kind, or pole sweat, and
yielding abundance of wrappers.
We hope that our growers will go
slow when asked to sell. A good
price looks you in the face, and you
should ask a suitable price for the
goods. We have now the news ol
the incorporation under the laws of
New Jersey, for $125,000, of a com
pany to be known as the Connecti-
cut Valley Tobacco Company, with

cut has been picked up, about 4,-
500 cases, the price ranged from 20
to 28 cents. Sutter Brothers se-
cured about I 600 cases. The A.
C. Company 1,000 The others
engaged in the scramble were Hins-
dale Smith & Co., Gershel & Bro ,
and L. B Haas, and one or two
others.

Our correspondents write:
Northfield: "Thomas Quinlan
sold 10 cases of 1901 tobacco that
was raised by Pat Coughlin (prob-
ably low grade)atab;:>utioc through,
to a New York party."

Hinsdale, N. H : "I have to re
port the sale to an Ohio party of 15
cases of the 1901 crop at 14c by J.
K. Bascomb."

Northampton: "The tobacco is
curing down finely and is exempt
from sweat, frost, holes and all
other maladies. I don't hear of any
sales, although the packers are ex
amining the crop preparatory to
buying."

Conway: "The tobacco is curing
very nicely and light. The wet,
cloudy, dark weather I fear may af-
fect the late cut. The early cut has
nearly cured and must be out of
danger of pole sweat. There are
two good crops of 1901 yet unsold
in town."

East Granby, Ct.: "The crop
here is the best we ever raised,
sound and fine. We bear of sales
in nearby localities in the bundle,
and prices reported at from 20 to
22>^c. Our growers are rather shy
about contracting, as they have been
bitten too often."

There are in Whately about 350
cases of 1902 tobacco that is owned
by Seth B. Crafts and Walter W.
Sanderson. While at Conway, two
lots, one of about 30 cases, owned
by H. T. Newhall, and the other is
a good lot, all assorted in good
shape.

North Hadley: "There have been
a few sales of tobacco, prices rang

The new crop is now practically
all in the sheds and the crop as a
whole has turned out much better
than was thought possible early in
the season owing to the late setting
It is curing down nicely. No buy-
ing of the new crop has yet been
reported. There is still a demand

for good grades of the 1901, but
there is very little of this crop still
in lUe growers' hands B. Danow
of S>racuse bought 15 cases last
week at private terms. Quietness
still reigns at the warehouses with
the exception of that of A. Heinke,
who is still handling the goods
purchased in Ohio some time ago.
A shipment of 40 cases was made
from the Erdt warehouse on Mon-
day to New York. On Monday R.
F. Thorn sampled 40 cases of 1901
for Wm. Merriit at Meridian. -Gar.

EDGERTON, WIS.

The buying of the new tobacco
is being pushed with about as much
vigor as at any time since the market
opened. The Vernon county dis-
trict is also receiving attention
again and quite a good deal of the
crop lifted, but at prices that do
not exceed that of other sections.
Buyers are out in all the growing
localities and the aggregate sales of
the week are probably as large as
any time of the season. The great
bulk of the transactions are at figures
not far from what seems to be the
established price, 8 cents for the
wrapper and binder grades.

A long stretch of damp, wet
weather that has prevailed of late»
conditions that produce shed dam-
age, has caused some uneasiness
among growers, a few of whom
built fires in their curing sheds as a
preventative Possibly some dam-
age from pole rot has occurred, but
it is hoped not serious enough to
cut much figure. Clearing weather
again has put an end to all these
dangers, but growers need to watch
their sheds closely.

The market for cured leaf has
developed no new features and only
a moderate trade is reported. A
sale of a loocs lot was made by C.
L. Culton Wednesday. Randell &
Hartzell sold 26cs of 1901 to Child
at 8, 4 and 2c. Joseph Mayer's
1900 packing is being sampled by
Frank Ruscher.

James J. Hill puffs like an engine
behind the biggest and blackest he
can get. It is not extra fine, but,
because of its size principally, costs
him 30 cents. He is not famed for
offering them to anybody else.
Henry W. Cannon, president of the
Chase National, always has a box
of medium cigars in his oflBce, while
Darius Miller likes strong perfectos.

"Former Secretary Herbert buys
his cigars as he smokes them, pay-
ing 15 cents each for the mildest
he can get. Every day after lunch
former Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck
buys $1 worth of medium cigars of
a certain brand. They cost 15 cents
straight, but in this way he gets
seven for$i, thus saving 5 centn.
He stuffs them in his pocket, but
only smokes two or three of them,
giving ihs rest away. Justice O'-
Dwyer buys medium Havanas, four
for |i, while Magistrate Mott buys
one mild 10 center at a time.

"Representative Sulzer likes a
strong domestic cigar costing 10
cents, but buys imported ones for
his friends, and hands them out
freely. Amos Cummings uses a
favorite brand of home made, for
which he pays 10 cents, and Repre
sentative George B McClellan likes
5cent straights, but occasionally
indulges in five for $1, when they
must be strong. Stewart of Nevada
pays 25 cents each for his and wants
them of the mildest. Senator O'-
Grady goes him 5 cents better.
John Fox of Democratic club fame
likes any cigar so it is good, while
former Corporation Counsel Whalen
uses a certain small and thick cigar
two for 25 cents. Anthony N. ,
Brady likes very mild Carolinas,
three for $1. John C. Sheehan
smokes 15-centers, straight and
strong, while William drags at
black 40 centers. Croker pays the
same for his, but they must be fat
and black. He is not the hard
?moker he used to be, probably be
cause of stomach trouble. Bob'
Hilliard pays high for his smokes,
and insists that they be oily — that
means of the strongest. Though
these are their regular habits, many
of the men here mentioned light an
occasional cigarette, when busy,
for a short smoke."

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

Sale of Twist Tobacco by a Grower.
A tobacco grower, who stated
that he desired to twist his tobacco
and sell it to consumers, and asked
whether he would be required to
pay a tax on such tobacco, was ad-
vised that an internal revenue tax
of 6 cents per pound is imposed on
twist tobacco, and that a farmer
who raises tobacco is not privileged
to stem, twist, roll, plait or other-
wise change it from its natural con-
dition, or sell the same to consumers
as manufactured tobacco free from
tax.

Destroying Material,
A collector, who reported that a
manufacturer held at his factory
some unstamped manufactured to-
bacco, which he desired to destroy >
was advised that if this unstamped
tobacco, if offered for sale, would
not bring a price equal to the tax,
it could be destroyed by burning or
mixing the same with some sub-
stance which would render it unfit
for use as smoking or chewing to-
bacco, and that it must be weighed
by some deputy collector and the
actual quantity destroyed reported
in writing, so that proper credit
could be given the manufacturer
for the quantity so destroyed.

Re-nsc of Cigar Boxes.
A cigar dealer was advised that
all cigars must be put up in boxes
not before used for that purpose and
containing a statutory number of
cigars, and that every person who
sells, or offers for sale, or delivers,
or offers to deliver, any cigars in
any other form than in new boxes,
as above described, will incur the
penalties imposed by Section 3392,
Revised Statutes, and that under
this statute a dealer in tobacco can
not lawfully re use the boxes for
packing cigars. It was further ad-
vised that whenever any stamped
box containing cigars is emptied it
is the duty of the person in whose
hands the same is to utterly destroy
the stamp thereon; and any person
who wilfully neglects to do so in-
curs for such offense the liability of
a fine of $50, to which is added im-
prisonment of not less than ten days
nor more than six months, as pro-
vided by Section 3406, R. S.

Labeling Cigar Boxes.
A collector inquired whether a
cigar manufacturer may have the
caution notice branded on the bot-

the rule is different where manu
facturers use pasteboard, tin or
other metal packages for packing
their cigars, and which packages
are submitted for approval by the
Commissioner.

Factory Warehouse.
A manufacturer recently stated
that he desired to build a warehouse,
separated from his factory, in order
to cheapen his insurance, and asked
whether it is permissible to remove
the tobacco from one building to
another, and whether the bond will
have to be amended to cover the
storage warehouse. He was ad
vised that all unstamped manufac-
tured tobacco must remain on the
bonded factory premises, and can
not be removed from the manufac-
tory to an outside storage ware-
house not situated on the bonded
factory premises; but that if the
proposed storage warehouses will

Cigars From the Philippines.

Following the recent order of the
Treasury Department adopting the
opinionofthe Attorney- General that
cigars made in the Philippines and
brought into the United States are
cot subject to Internal Revenue tax,
the Commissioner addressed a letter
to the Secretary of the Treasury,
suggesting that some distinctive
mark or label should be placed on
all boxes containing such cigars.
He said in part:

"Some distinctive mark or label

officers to identify the cigars as of

Revised Statutes, as amended by
Section 26 of the act of August 28,
1894, requires the inspection and
stamping of imported cigars before
delivery from customs custody. He
was, therefore, of the opinion that
cigars from the Philippine Islands
should be stamped with customs

kind myself. However, I am under

into the hands of an American
soldier and so got to San Francisco,
where I first heard of it. Magic is
still practised in the Philippines,
and this was and is a magical silver
coin, as, I promise you will believe
before you have done with its his-
tory. Its two marvelous properties
are these: first, in whatever land it
is, and it is forever circling the
f lobe, it is legal tender and every-
where of the value of a twenty- five
cent piece; and secondly, he who
has it in his possession, if only for
an instant, must tell the plain un-
varnished truth, no matter what the
consequences to himself.

My soldier friend, who brought
this unusual piece of money from
Manila to the United States, bought
a couple of cigars with it at a retail
tobacconist's in San Francisco. He
asked for clear Ha vanas and selected
two out of a box bearing a widely
known label. Before leaving the
shop he asked the dealer, in whose
palm the truth-compelling coin
happened to be resting, a question,
which many a retailer has been
asked and will be asked again:

"Is this really a clear Havana
cigar?"

"No, sir," answered the retailer,
obeying a Will that robbed his
tongue of the power to lie, "There
isn't a sprig of Havana in it. It's
faked all the way through."

The returned soldier, instead of
rejecting the cigars he had bought,
sank into a chair and laughed till
his sides ached. Then he went out
and told everyone he met about the
extraordinary dealer, with the re-
sult that all of them, concluding
him to be an honest man, went to
him for their cigars. But by the
time the first of these new customers
arrived the dealer had parted with
the magical coin, of whose identity

Mr. Frank Ruscher.

the spell of the truth compelling
coin, and, willy-nilly, must speak
in all openness. Well, then, sup-
pressing names, like the prudent
citizen I try to be, these are the
facts. While the wonder working
coin circulated in Water street, in
Pearl street, in Front street and in
Maiden Lane, and that was only a
few months ago, those thorough-
fares were like the streets of the
Celestial City. Ohio leaf did not
masquerade as Pennsylvania, nor
Massachusetts as Connecticut. Im-
ported Havana wrapper leaf did not
come in in filler bales, and every
importer cheerfully paid the higher
duties. There were no dishonest
bankruptcies; no backbiting; the
tongue of the detractor was silent,
and that of the boaster stuck in his
throat. And best of all, those who
came to buy told the truth about
their finances, and so the market
was prosperous as of old, is pros-
perous to-day, for the eflfects the
magic coin produces are not transi-
tory.

If ever I shall discover that the
market is in a languishing condition
I'll put the truth-compelling coin in
circulation once more. In the

A stands for Amsterdam, where

Upon the big Inscription Tree, as

B recalls the "Boston lights" the

Tho' nowadays the darker shades

C stards for Cuba, child of the

smiling sea.
Or for our own Connecticut, it is all

one to me.

D stands for Deli in a far East

Indian isle,
Where great plantations stretch

along for many a statute mile.

E represents the Export types,
That very poor stuff old Europe

swipes.
F is the Farmer so very shrewd and

grim.
Who gathers in the shekels we

yearly bring to him.

G? Oh, O's the Ground leaf, so

spotted and so pale.
That used to come to Water street

in many a crated bale.

H is the onliest only, the prized

Havana crop.
Whatever would become of us if

that good crop should stop?

I is the gay Importer who foreign

His name is found quite frequently

upon ships' manifests.

J is the jolly Jobber with his broker

on the street
He is the very jolliest (?) chap you

e'er may hope to meet.

K stands for old Kentucky, the blue

grass queen.
Where hogshead leaf is still on tap

as it has ever been.

L. This little letter just idly lilts of

Leaf
Sometimes so uncertain as to bring

M means the Men who buy or sell
The types of which these verselets

N stands for North Ca 'liny— the old

North Carolina "brights" are they

Great Britain's at their mercy and,

From many a "Turkish" cigarette

O, here's to gay Ohio, that fruitful

In truth it has significance, this

Just ask some Cuban friendjto make

it clear to you.

S shall represent Sumatra. Take

notice that I sing
Not of the tent-grown substitute,

T stands for Turkish leaf, those

That for its choicest cigarettes the

great world takes.

U. We'll let this letter stand for

simply U.
I hope U like these verses I really

V- irginia — oh, old Richmond's fair

They're teaching many a young

W is Wisconsin that "binds" us all

together.
Let's hope she'll always have the

X. oh, "ten spots" still are scarce

That's why I dedicate to them this

Y. Why what on earth's become

Few Smokers in Smoking

Cars.

New York, October 6. 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

The weather to day being remark-
ably fine I treated myself to a ride
on one of the open smoking cars of
the Third Avenue Elevated Rail
road. Although I knew I was
privileged to smoke anywhere in
the car, force of habit sent me to a
rear seat, for, as you know, in the
open trolley cars smoking is per-
mitted only in the four rear seats.
The long rainy spell we have had
in New York, which ended on Sun-
day night, had laid the dust, the
sun was shining brightly, and al-.
together I don't know when I en-
joyed a smoke more than I did to-
day on my ride from the City Hall
to Harlem. Like all confirmed
smokers, I am much given to in
trospection. Nevertheless on my
ride to-day I took pains to note
carefully some conditions on an
open smoking car which I think
will interest you. In the first place,
although there were eighty-four
people in the car only fourteen of
them were smoking, and of all the
occupants of the car thirty six were
women and ten were children. The
fact that fully one half the passen-
gers were women confirms what
other observers have noted, namely,
that women like to ride in smoking
cars.

In the second place, not a single
smoker in the car threw his ashes,
the stump of his cigar or the butt
of his cigarette into the street over
the railing at his side. I recall
that when the management of the
Metropolitan elevated railroads was
first urged to put smoking cars on
its lines its refusal to do so was
based upon the statement that its
smoking patrons would be more
apt than not to dump ashes and the
still lighted stumps of their cigars
and butts of cigarettes upon the
people passing below, upon wagons
or upon buildings, thus adding to

the risks from accidental injuries
or fires. Open smoking cars have
been running on the Third avenue
line for some months now, and not
a single accident of this kind has
as yet been reported, which indi-
cates, to my mind at least, that
open air smokers are very consider-
ate people.

The third fact I noticed was that
every smoker, either through the
same force of habit which regulated
my choice of a seat, or else out of
consideration for the women and
children in the car, selected one of
the four rear seats

But here is what puzzles me:
Why wasn't that car filled exclu-
sively with smokers? It was just
after dinner, the very time when
smokers best enjoy a smoke, and
yet there were in that crowd of
eighty-four people but fourteen
smokers. If this proportion holds
good for the rest of the population,
then there cannot be more than
about 1 2 000 000 smokers among
the 77,000,000 or so people of the
United States, and if but 12,000,-

000 of us smoke we must all indulge
our pet vice inordinately in order
to consume the thousands of mil-
lions of cigars and cigarettes and
the vast quantities of pipe tobaccos
that are manufactured every year in
the United States.

An Observer of Men and Women.

Comment.

To estimate that there are in the
United State not over 12,000,000
of people addicted to the smoking
habit is in my judgment to guess
too moderately, for there must be
fully twice that number and more.
But my correspondent's basis for
an estimate of the kind he attempts
to make is not a correct one. The
occupants of one open air smoking
car in New York city cannot be
taken to be representative of the
population of the United States.

Statistics of the kind indicated
are most diflScult to compile, and
after they are compiled are mislead
ing. We know that we manufac-
ture in the United States about 7,
000,000,000 cigars every year, at
the present rate of production, but
we do not know what proportion of
these are little cigars weighing over
three pounds to the thousand.
Those who smoke little cigarssmoke
more of them than do those who
smoke cigars properly so called.

My correspondent'sother remarks
are in line with those of most other
smokers and, therefore, call for no
special comment.

The Best Description of a

Cigar Store.

In answer to one who signs him-
self "A Literary Worker" I would
say that, in my judgment, the best
description of a cigar store that has
ever appeared in print was written
by the late George Augustus Sala.

1 think it so delightful that I make
no apology for reprinting it here:

"There used, some years ago, to

be a little tobacconist's shop, some
where between Pall Mall and Dun-
cannon street, known by the sign
of the Morro Castle. It was such
a little shop, and it smelt so strong
ly of cedar and of the Indian weed
that itself was not unlike a cigar
box.

"Here I used to think a three-
penny cigar about the greatest lux-
ury in which a young man of pleas-
ure could indulge, but a luxury
only to be ventured upon at the
occurrence of solemn festivals, and
when the treasures of the mines of
Potosi, to the extent of a few shil
lings, lay loose in one's waistcoat
pocket. There were threepenny
cigars in those days, and they were
delicious. I am afraid that the
manufacture has ceased, or that the
threepennies have lost their flavor,
for Ensign and Lieutenant Dickey-
strap, of the Guards, declares that
you cannotget anything fitto smoke
under ninepence, and that a really
tolerable 'weed' will 'stand you in'
eighteen pence. Prince Fortunatus,
they say, gives half a- crown apiece
for his Regalias.

"The Morro Castle, however,
did a very modest but, I believe,
remunerative, business in cigars at
from threepence to sixpence each.
Well do I remember courtly old
Mr. Alcachofado, the proprietor of
the Morro — always in the same
well- buttoned frock-coat, always
with the same tall shiny hat with
the broad turned-up brim — always
pufl5ng at, apparently, the same
stump of a choice Londres. It was
well worth while laying out three-
pence at the Morro Castle; for, in
consideration of that modest invest-
ment, you were treated, for at least
five minutes, like a peer of the
realm. Mr. Alcachofado himself
selected your cigar, and if you ap-
proved of it, snipped oflF the end in
a little patent machine, and pre-
sented it to you with a grave bow.
You proposed to light it; but this
Mr. Alcachofado would by no means
permit. He drew a splint from a
stack in a japanned stand, kindled
it at the gas jet, and with another
bow handed it to you. If you
wished to fill the heart of Mr. Al
cachofado with anguish, and to
pass in his eyes for a person of the
very worst breeding, you would
when the splint had served your
turn, cast it on the floor, and
trample it underfoot. I have seen
the proprietor of the Morro glare
at people who did this, as though
he would have dearly liked to take
oflF his curly-brimmed hat and fling
it at their heads. Regular cus-
tomers knew well the etiquette of
the Morro, which was gently to
blow out the tiny flame of the splint,
and place it horizontally on the top
of the fasces in the japanned tin
box. Then you bowed to Mr. Al-
cachofado, and he bowed in return;
and, taking a seat, if you liked, on
a huge cigar chest, you proceeded
to smoke the calumet of peace.

"Did I say that for five minutes
you would be treated like a noble-
man? You might softly kick your
heels, and meditate on the transi-
tory nature of earthly things, in
that snug little shop, for nearly half
an hour. Threepenny cigars lasted
five-and twenty minutes in those
days. Austere personages of aris-

tocratic mien patronised Mr. Al-
cachofado. They looked likeCounty
Members. Masters in Chancery,
Charity Commissioners. They
looked as though they belonged to
Clubs They called the proprietor
Alcatchanything, without the Mr.
He was gravely courteous to them,
but not more so than to humbler
patrons. I remember that he always
took in the second edition of the
Globe. -I have, in my time, be-
spoken it, I think, not without fear
and trembling, from a Baronet.
They were affable creatures, those
exalted ones, and talked sedate
commonplaces about the House,
and the crops, and the revenue,
until I used to fancy I had land and
beeves and a stake in the country.

"There was only one absolutely
haughty customer. He wore a
spencer and gaiters, and sometimes
swore. He smoked a costlier cigar
than the ordinary race of puffers;
and one had to rise from the big
cigar chest while Mr. Alcachofado,
a shining bunch of keys in hand,
like a discreet sacristan, unlocked
this treasure coffer, and produced
regalias of price. Yet even this
haughty man in the spencer gave
me a bow once when I brushed by
him in the lobby of the House,
where I had been waiting two hours
and a quarter, on a night when Sir
Robert Peel was 'up,' in the vain
hope of getting into the strangers'
gallery, with an Irish member's
order.

"The haughty man thought he
knew me. I felt so proud that I
had my hair cut the very next day,
and determined, like Mr. Pepys, to
'go more like myself.' A grave
company we were at Mr. Alcacho-
fado's. Now and then, on opera
nights, dandies in evening dress
would stroll in to smoke a cigarette.
There was great scandal one even-
ing— it was Grisi's benefit— when
a tall young man, with a white
cravat and a tawny moustache,
ordered Mr. Alcachofado to 'open
him a bottle of soda and look sharp! '
Those were his very words. There
was a commotion among the cus-
tomers. Soda water! Was this a
tobacconist's and fancy stationer's
in the Clapham-road? As well
might you have asked the beadle
of St. George's, Hanover-Square,
for hot whiskey-toddy, between
psalm and sermon.

"Mr. Alcachofado, under the cir-
cumstances, was calm. He gave
the tall young desperado one look,
to wither him, and in slow and
measured accents, not devoid of a
touch of sarcasm, replied, 'I sell
neither soda-water, nor ginger- beer,
nor walking-sticks, nor penny val-
entines, sir.' The customers grimly
chuckled at this overwhelming re-
buke. There was nothing left for
the tall young man but to withdraw,
but, as I was nearest the door, I
am constained to state that as he
lounged out he remarked that the
'old guy,' meaning Mr. Alcacho-
fado, 'seemed doosid crusty.' "

Mvery Factory in Havana
Busy.

The movement in the market of
Havana for the week ending Octo-
ber 4 again shows a slight falling
oflF. Still it is caused more by a
scarcity of desirable goods than by
the continued high prices prevailing
for factory vegas and fine aromatic
fillers, as there is no slackening in
the demand for such goods on the
part of the United States manufac-
turers or dealers, as well as for
home consumption right in ihe city
of Havana. What is less wanted
are the poorer growths and low
grades which, unfortunately, are so
abundant in the 1902 crop The
receipts from the country show an
increase of thirty-threeand one-third
per cent, as compared with the pre-
vious week, and as they consist of
colas and botes of Vuelta Abajo to
a large extent, as well as new Re
medios, which latter are still almost
unsaleable owing to their uncured
condition, the stock of good goods
has not increased but on the con
trary is diminishing more and more
every week.

The buyers from the United
States took, in round numbers, 3, 700
bales, while Havana cigar and ci-
garette manufacturers supplied
themselves with 2,100 bales, and
400 bales were taken for export to
Europe. As regards districts, 4,-
000 bales consisted of Vuelta Abajo
factory vegas, clean fillers and colas
for cigar purposes, while of Partido
only 1,500 bales were taken out of
the market, and of Remedios, 700
bales. That not more of the latter
class were sold is easily enough ex
plained by the absence of buyers
from the United States, and when
the majority of the dealers who usu-
ally handle Remedios arrive in Hav-
ana, it is 'confidently expected that
a better demand will prevail.
The 1903 Crop.

It is claimed now that the ex
treme heat and the unduly strong
sun rays are prejudicial to trans-
planting upon a large scale and
while heavy rainstorms usually are
the most dreaded, still the continued
abnormal heat which has been ex-
perienced is just as much a factor
in retarding the setting out, or if
done, in destroying the young plants
by drying them up. What the
young plants need is moderately
cool or cloudy weather and some
light rains. The latter might be
supplied artificially, and shading
cloths might be employed to prevent
the burning sun rays from doing
injury to the tender growths, only

both methods are too costly to be
used by the small farmers, and can
only be applied advantageously by
large concerns which have the
necessary capital to invest in such
enterprises. Seedlings as a rule
have prospered and this season
prices ought to be within reach of
all.

Country Advices.

There is still considerable buying
going on of the 1902 crop in the
different places of the Vuelta Abajo,
and from Luis Lazo it is reported
that Senor Quiros purchased for the
Havana Commercial Co. the vega of
Senor Carballo in "Cantera," "el
Pesquero" of Don Jose Martinez
and the crop of Don Felix Barroso,
as well as the vega of Don Ana-
stacio Martin, of San Carlos. Prices
are said to have been between $40
and $50 per bale of 70 pounds net,
including colas and botes and no
wrappers, as it is stated that the to-
bacco from this section only pro-
duced fillers this year. The Henry
Clay and Bock & Co. bought a
good sized lot in the Pinar del Rio.
Juan de la Puente has purchased for
Fernandez y Hno. the vega of Ante
Deben in Cantarote. of Ancelo
Hernandez in Sumidero, of Jose
Perdomo and Andres Hernandez in
Pica Pica — something like 600 bales
in all. Although the prices are
kept secret, still it is said that the
figures obtained have been as high
as any paid heretofore. In the Re-
medios district quite liberal buying
is reported on the part of Havana
almacenistas and prices are said to
be high, if the shrinkage in weight
is taken into consideration. The
I uncured condition will require pa-
tience and time before this tobacco
can be turned over in the Havana
market. However, the speculation
may prove advantageous if no crop
to speak of should be produced in
the year 1903.

every cigarmaker's table is needed
to produce the stock required to
supply the demand. The Henry
Clay and Bock & Co. report one
single order alone from one house
in London for 2.125,000 cigars.
Rabell , Costa & Vales also received
one cable order from London for
500,000 cigars from their Ramon
Allones factory. Other factories too
numerous to mention have their
hands full. Romeo y Julieta is re-
ceiving lots of orders, partly com-
ing from the United States. High
Life is still working only old to-
bacco on their orders. Don Carlos
Blasco says that Vitalia is selling
like hot cakes, while Reina del
Prado comes next. The Sol factory
is perfectly satisfied with the share
of orders received. H. Upmann &
Co. purchased another 300 bales of
choice Vuelta Abajo fillers to keep
their H. Upmann brand at its top
notch standard.

United States Mannfactnters.

Isidore Berg purchased 1,000
bales of Vuelta Abajo factory vegas
and fillers to keep the American
Exchange Cigar Co going. Mort-
imer Regensburg, of E Regensburg
& Sons, purchased 600 bales of as
fine a vega of Vuelta Abajo as was
raised this year. Judging by the
quality of the raw leaf purchased by
this house it is no wonder that with
intelligent management it can pro-
duce a cigar equal to the best made
anywhere. Using over 3000 bales of
Havana tobacco in a year and sell-
ing over 15,000,000 Puros in the
United States are proofs enough
that the United States public does
know how to distinguish fine cigars.
John Hart bought 500 bales of
Vuelta Abajo factory vegas for the
firm of Hart & Murphy, of St. Paul,
Minn.

What is Going On in the Local Trade,

U. C. S. Co. Takb Possession.

As announced in these columns
last week, the United Cigar stores
Co. had outbid Fleck & Co. in the
renewal privileges of the Green
Hotel cigar stand at Eighth and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia. The
new concern has also taken the
stock and fixtures from Fleck &
Co., the proprietors, at a price not
made public, with the promise of
immediate possession, which has
already been given.

It has been reported on the streets
here that the company had secured
several desirable locations uptown,
and that in all they had secured
seven diflferent places. A number
of the proprietors of the progressive
stores in the northwest section were
interviewed by a World reporter to-
day, but he was informed by several
that as yet no overture of any kind
had been made them.

Another Match It Display.

A unique display of Match- It
cheroots is on exhibition this week
at the cigar store at Twelfth and
Green streets. This is one of the
most ambitious displays that has
yet been undertaken by Factory
Representative Robertson. The
sale of these goods, we are informed,
has kept up remarkably well, and
the trade on them throughout the
surrounding country is quite satis-
factory.

Mock Trial for a Cigar Dealer
The trade has not been without
its humorous side this week. Fred.
A. Friel, a popular cigar dealer at
1 2th and Green streets, is on the
calendar for a mock trial on the
charge of being a bachelor, which
was made by some lady friends.
The occasion promises to become a
lively social event among the many
members of Mr. Friel's patronage.
His establishment is an acknowl-
edged headquarters for a large num-
ber of 14th Ward politicians, who
are making every eflfort to increase
local interest in the event. F. B.
Robertson, Factory Representative
of the Match- It Cheroots, has been
retained by Mr. Friel to look after
his interests, while Councilman
Jacob Wildemere, the leader of the
14th Ward "Gang" will act as
prosecutor. Geo. W. Weaver has
been requested to preside. A jury
has not as yet been selected, but it
is stated that if the case results in a
victory for the prosecution, a similar
action may be soon brought against
F. B Robertson.

Guillium's New Establishment
Chas. H. Guillium, who has been
engaged in the cigar manufacturing
business on North Seventh street
for some years, several weeks ago
secured a new store and factory at
5 2d and Race streets. West Phila-
delphia, where he has opened a
nicely equipped retail store and will
also attend to his outside trade as
before. The new store is likely to
become a good stand as soon as the
neighborhood shall have been built
up a little more. This section of
the city is improving very rapidly.

I^ASKA CiGARROS NoW ON THE

Market.
Laska is a new brand of all to
bacco cigars which were recentlx
put upon this market, and are meet-
ing with a very satisfactory degree ;
of success. They are put up in !
packages of five and are retailed at I
15 cents. The goods are being
manufactured by the United To-
bacco Co.. which has a factory at
Newark, N. J.

Bock & Co to Manufacture
Cigarettes.

Bock & Co , at Broad and Chest-
nut streets, have bought the cigar-
ette factory of the late firm of Asian
Bros., and have removed the fac-
tory from 1017 Walnut street, to
2330 Market street. They will con-
fine themselves to the manufacture
of high grade goods exclusively,
and for which they will have con-
siderable outlet in their two dif-
ferent retail stores.

The Stock Exchange Cigar
Stand.

The cigar privileges at the Stock
Exchange, at Third and Walnut
streets, are regarded as very desira-
ble, and they have been secured
by W. H. Ryan, who at present
has also the cigar stand in the
Arcade Building, owned by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, at Fifteenth
and Chestnut streets. The new
stand is to be ready for business
about the first of the coming month.

in the condition of the local leaf
market during the past week. A
fair and steady, though not an ex-
ceedingly voluminous, business is
reported. A fair sized sale of the
new Wisconsin was consummated
during the past week, which is the
first important transaction of the
season. The Connecticut situation
is being looked over carefully, and
representatives of one or two Phila-
delphia houses were through the
Connecticut Valley during the past
week looking over the market there.
Moderate sales of Penna. broad leaf
have also been reported.

In the Sumatra market one of our
local houses reported a larger call
for sample bales this week than they
had ever before experienced during
a similar period. The tobacco is
being sold steadily, but in small
quantities.

The Havana market is slightly
improved. Remedies are selling
freely, and good factory vegas are
becoming scarcer.

Finest Store in the World.

The finishing touches are now
being put to the store in the St.
James Building, at the southwest
corner of Broadway and 26th street,
New York, and already it may be
seen that it will be, in truth, the
finest store in the world. An exqui-
site taste manifested itself in every
detail of the decorative scheme. The
lustre of polished Carrara marble
and of heavy plate glass, the more
delicate splendor of white tiles, and,
at night, the sparkle of hundreds of
electric bulbs, will all serve to en-
trance the beholder, while the paint-
ings on the walls, each an art gem,
will further more attract and hold
his attention.

It is promised that the cigars to
be carried in stock in this magnifi
cent establishment will be the finest
the world can furnish. The stock
will include every brand of reputa
tion, and will be kept in the best
possiblecondition in air tight humi-
dors affixed to the walls.

That the fame of this store will
quickly spread to the four quarters
of the earth is a foregone conclu
sion, for all well- to do cigar lovers
are inveterate globe trotters, and
they may be depended on to do this
new store full justice in the narra-
tions they will pour into the ears of
their foreign friends.

For stay-at home folks and lor
visitors to New York, the contents
of the show cases in the St. James
store will possess not only an ever
present interest, but also a great
educational value, because it is pre-
cisely in this store that the public
will learn, better than elsewhere.

the true estimate to be placed upon
cigar values.

In a full page announcement
published elsewhere this week, the
Havana Tobacco Company invites
sealed bids from any reliable firm or
dealer desiring to lease this store
for the purpose of a retail cigar
store. The store will probably be
open for inspection about Novem-
ber ist, and bids will be received
during the week that follows.
Would-be lessees desiring further
information on this interesting sub
ject are requested to apply to Geo
M. Gales, in Fifth Avenue, New
York.

The Tyson Case Continued.
The Tyson box stufl&ng case,
which was set down for a hearing
before Commissioner Shields, in
New York, at 2 o'clock on October
10, has been again postponed, this
time to n a. m., on October 20.

C Hy. Brown in New York

C. Hy. Brown, of St. Louis, Mo.,
whose name is so familiar to all
collectors of tags, box fronts, cigar
bands and other coupors of value,
is a visitor in New York during the
current week.

Coal, Cigars, Gold—All
Precious.

A bright young window dresser
at Water and Wall streets, New
York, has placed in his sidewalk
showcase a card to which he has
affixed a small lump of anthracite
coal, a big fat cigar and a piece of

quartz with a vein of gold showing
through it. Above this exhibit ap-
pears the line, "Three precious
things." The store's patrons ap-
preciate the little witticism and
reward the humor of the artist
by buying many of his cigars.

Blue Grass Tobacco Co.
Changes Hands

A sufficient block of the stock of
the Blue Grass Tobacco Co., of
Lexington, Ky., has been bought
by Horace W. and A. Smith Bow
man, to give them control of the
company's affairs.

The company has been in busi-
ness a number of years, and has en
joyed a liberal patronage on their
various brands, chief among which
are the "Blue Ribbon Twist."

"Bourbon Twist" and "Natural
Leaf Smoking Tobacco."

W. J Loughridge and John D.
Walker still retain an interest in the
business and will be active in its
management, which gives to the
company a strong board of direct-
ors. The Messrs. Bowman enter
the directory under most favorable
conditions, the firm being free from
debt and with ample capital.

To be Consolidated.

About the first of November all
the independent leaf tobacco ware-
houses of Louisville, Ky., will be
consolidated under one management
— the Louisville Tobacco Ware-
house Co. There have been seven
independent warehouses since the
combine formed in 1896.

Mr. Wholesaler and Mr.
Retailer, both of you like tc
hear the musical jingle cf the
nimble dollar. It will give you
the quickest kind of a quick-
step if you invest a few in
MOGU L Cigarettes. They are
the quick sellers in the cigarette
line, thus hurrying the dollars
your way. Is the hint broad
enough ?

Bdwin A, Scbroeder Dead

Edwin A.8chroeder,of Schroeder
& Arguimbau, of 178 Water street,
New York, committed suicide in a
railway train near Waycross, Ga.,
at 1 1 o'clock on the morning of
October 14. He was alone and was
on his way home from a visit to the
Schroeder & Arguimbau tobacco
plantations in Florida.

The deceased was the third child
and only son of the late Frederick
A. Schroeder. He was in the forty -
second year of his age, and was
married less than three months ago
at Lawrence, L. I , to the widow
of the late Alderman Okie, of New
York. His home was at 10 Lex-
ington avenue, New York.

The tragic end of Eddie Schroeder
takes on a deepened pathos from
the knowledge that his selfmurder
was committed in a moment of
mental derangement. He was as
widely known as any member of the
leaf trade and was personally very
popular.

Anti-Trust I^eaf Meeting.

The New York Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade held a special meet
ing at 3 o'clock p. m. on October
14, to act upon a series of anti- trust
resolutions adopted by the Board of
Trustees of the General Board on
October 7. The meeting of Octo-
ber 14 was well attended. A strong
presentation of the case of the gen
eral trade against the tobacco trust
was made by Benno Neuberger, of
E Rosenwald & Bro. The docu-
ment will be printed in full next
week. It will make interesting
reading.

On Mr. Neuberger's motion, a
committee of three is to be ap-
pointed, with full power to act, to
confer with the National Cigar Leaf
Tobacco Association, with boards
of cigar manufacturers, jobbers and
retailers, and with the associations
of growers.

Marshall Waives Exam-
ination.

The case of Morgan Marshall, the
well-known retail cigar dealer of
Broadway and Chambers street. New
York , who was arrested last August
by Revenue Agent Frank G.
Tuompson was set for hearing be-
fore Commissioner Shields at 10.30
o'clock on the morning of October
14 At that hour Assistant U. S.
District Attorney Baldwin, Revenue
Agent Thompson, who had come
down from Albany, where he is at
present stationed, and several other
witnesses for the prosecution were
on hand. A short while afterward
Joel N. Marx, Marshall's attorney,
appeared in court. Marshall him-
self was not on hand, however, and
Mr. Baldwin refused to go on unless
he were present. On Mr. Marx's
promise to produce Marshall at 2

o'clock, the case went over to that
hour.

At 2 o'clock Mr. Marshall ap-
peared and Mr. Marx made a strong
effort to have the case continued.
The Assistant District Attorney de-
murred, and the Commissioner re-
fused Mr. Marx's request. There-
upon Mr. Marx intimated that he
would withdraw from the case.
His place will be taken by I. Gains-
burg, a young lawyer associated
with the firm of Hays & Hershfeld,
of 141 Broadway, New York. On
the advice of counsel, Marshall
waived examination and was held
for the Federal grand jury in $2,500
bail. If Marshall is indicted the
case will probably not come to trial
until late in the winter.

LANCASTMR*S RHPORT,

Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 14, 1902.

Our leaf tobacco dealers are hav-
ing a fair trade, and several large
transactions have brought the
volume of business for the week up
to rather encouraging proportions.

B F. Good & Co. have been
shipping quite heavily. I. H
Weaver made a fairly good sized
sale during the week, and about 200
cases were sold by S. N. Mum ma,
of Landisville.

There is little buying of the new
crop going on now, but prices seem
to have gone a little higher. Samp-
ling of the new crop is practically
completed, and the amount of dam-
aged goods found is below the aver-
age.

P. W. Fry returned a few days
ago from a ten days business trip,
and is greatly pleased with its re-
sults. It was the most satisfactory
trip made by him for some time.

J. E. Hertgen, the label litho-
grapher of this city, has lately
secured a large number of orders,
which would indicate a more thriv-
ing condition among cigar manu-
facturers.

It is stated that one of our largest
cigar manufacturing houses, now
contemplates the installation of its
own cigar box making department.

B B. Gonder, of Strasburg, this
county, has erected a new, modern
leaf warehouse 40x110 feet in size,
which will have a capacity for about
2,000 cases.

The cigar industry throughout a
greater part of the county is fairly
prosperous.

S. N. Wolf, of Wolf & Hackman,
at Akron, will start out this week on
a business trip through New York
State, and east as far as Boston.

Announcement

When the alterations now being made in the store on the corner
of 26th Street and Broadway, New York, are completed, it will be the
FINEST STORE IN THE WORLD. There is an appropriate reason
why it should be, as this store has been planned and arranged to
provide for the exhibition and sale of the world's best cigars, and
there is nothing worthier a suitable setting than the best brands of
Havana cigars*

Here will be sold the brands that have made Havana cigars
famous throughout the world, and in such unusual quantities that all
sizes, shapes and colors of these cigars can be seen and examined
without loss of time or convenience. 5uch an exhibition of Havana
cigars cannot fail to be exceedingly interesting to the public, and also
of great value in an educational way in providing the means of
becoming familiar with and of identifying genuine goods. It is also
of importance to demonstrate to the public what constitutes proper
condition for high grade Havana cigars, and for this reason a prom=
inent feature of this store is the humidor, which has been planned for
storage and exhibition of Havana cigars in individual boxes, original
cases, etc. This humidor will have a capacity for storing several
million Havana cigars, and keeping them in all seasons in perfect

condition.

The chief decorative feature of the store will be mural paintings,
unique in their originality of design. These paintings give to the
^tore the feeling and atmosphere of Cuba, as they constitute a pano-
rama of Cuban scenery of exceeding interest The "finish" of the
store throughout is of Italian white marble, including the great col-
umns, 17 feet high, quarried in Italy expressly for this use.

^s we are not in the retail cigar business, we wish to rent this store to a retail dealer. About
November ist it will be open for one week to all who care to inspect it, and the following week sealed bids will
be received from any reliable firm or dealer desiring to lease this store for the purpose of a retail

cigar store.

For all particulars with reference to conditions for operating this store^ ^PP^y l^ GEORGE M. GALES^
III Fifth Avenue^ New York, N. V. The right to reject all bids is reserved.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

t

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse^
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Latest News from York, Pa.

It can safely be estimated that all
the cigar manufacturers in the
county were present in the city dur-
ing the fair on Thursday. It was
a poor day for business, however,
as all were pleasure bound.

A meeting of the Eastern Cigar
Box Manufacturers' Association
-was arranged for Friday afternoon,
but owing to the fact that the meet
ing conflicted with the York County
Fair, no quorum was present. This
special meeting was called because
of the small attendance at the semi
annual meeting of the association
at Philadelphia last week. Mr.
Defebaugh publisher of a trade
journal was in the city and expected
to discuss matters of interest to the
members of the association.

An important question pending
discussion is the advance in the
present price of boxes owing to the
increase in cost of lumber and other
materials.

M. Isaac, of England, was pres
«nt in this city during the past week ,
negotiating for the purchase of
several hundred cases of tobacco
from a local dealer.

Other important visitors were
Ous Neuwahl, cigar salesman from
Altoona, Pa., Mark Levine, with
Laverge & Schneider, New York,
and Lew Miller, with Dohan &
Taitt, Philadelphia.

J. E. Kauflfman, of this city, is
compelled to increase his facilities
for making cigars. He has erected
a frame building in the rear of his
residence on South George street.
Mr. Kauffman intends to put a
large number of cigarmakers to

work.

R. D. Forry, of Hellam township,
was awarded the first premium at
the York County Fair for the best
exhibit of York county grown leaf
tobacco. Mr. Forry is one of the
most successful tobacco growers in
this section, ard buyers always
make special eflForts to secure his
crop. His exhibit consisted of dis-
plays of narrow leaf Connecticut,
broad leaf Connecticut, etc.

Mr . Isadore Lieber man , of Colum-
bus, Ohio, was in the city Friday
and Saturday of last week. Mr.
Lleberman represents the largest
leaf tobacco buying house in central
Ohio, and is now traveling through
York and Lancaster counties in the

hope of getting some of the pick ol
the new crop.

D F. Kaltreider is doubling the
capacity of his Red Lion cigar fac
tory by building a large addition.
Mr. Kaltreider expects to increase
the number of employes as soon as
the new addition is completed. The
output of Mr. Kaltreider's factory
is steadily increasing, although the
proprietor has been handicapped
by too small quarters and by a lack
of cigarmakers.

Tobacco growers in York county
have been much interested in the
experiment made this season by
Mr. I. B. Hostetter, of York, in
growing Sumatra leaf under cover.
Mr. Hostetter's experiment was
successful in every particular, and
quite a number of progressive
growers in this section will endeavor
to raise tobacco next season along
similar lines Of course growing
tobacco under cover is far more
expensive than the old method, but
the results obtained under the new
are far more satisfactory and the in-
crease in price from the superior
leaf will more than oflfset the ex-
pense involved.

All the cigar factories in Lewis-
berry, Newberrytown, Strinestown,
Logan ville, Dallastown, Red Lion
and Yoe, are crowded with orders.
Most of the firms have suflBcient
orders on their books to keep their
cigarmakers busy until the Christ
mas holidays.

Jacob A. Mayer & Brother, the
leading cigar manufacturersof North
York, are "busy as bees." Many-
orders from the west are now being
filled, especially fine goods for the
holiday trade. The firm needs
more girls to paste cigar boxes and
to learn bunch breaking.

The facilities of the La Buta Ci-
gar Company have been severely
taxed of late, to give them an in-
creased output. Some improve-
ment along this line is now being

very seriously considered. Orders
are continuing to pile in on them,
and every eflFort will be made to fill
them with reasonable punctuality.

T. L. Adair is building an addi-
tion to his factory at Red Lion, as
is also J. E Olp, at Jacobus, both
in this county.

H. F. Kohler, at Nashville, has
been on a Western business trip
during last week, and the letters
received from him indicate a healthy

improvement in his trade.

Circulars have been received by
a number of cigar manufacturers in
this county, from promoters of the
Cigar Manufacturers' Supply Co.
with headquarters at Chicago, in-
viting them to subscribe to its
stock, which is to be $3 000 000,
divided into $1,000000 preferred
and $2,000,000 common. So far as
can be ascertained no action has yet
been taken by any of them.

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cntter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers, v^ It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can b«
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine offered.

Record Tobacco Shipment,

The New York Times of October
2 contained a dispatch from Baiti
more claiming for that city "the
largest consignment of plug tobacco
ever made in one order in the
United States." The publication
of that piece of news elicited tbie
following interesting information
from Mr. Carlos A. Butler, of New
York:

"In i86[, on the breaking out of
the Civil War, the firm of Lewis &
Co., of Glasgow, Mo., consigned
one lot of plug tobacco contained in
forty cars over the Erie Railroad, to
DuBois & Vandervoort, 37 Water
street. New York, then the leading
house in that business. The net
weight of that shipment was nearly
700,000 pounds, in boxes weighing
from 100 to 150 pounds each. The
invoice was made in twenty- five
columns across and eighteen feet in
length, joined in one long roll. The
freight was $10,000.

"The lower grades began selling
at 13 cents per pound, and as value
suddenly rose much of it sold as
high as 70 cents per pound finally.
A portion of the lot changed hands
eleven times before it ever left the
warehouse. Until we iiear further
New York claims priority."

Trade in Reading.

Crouse & Co. are very busy at
present and never had a larger force
of hands employed. They have
been advertising for some time for
competent cigar packers, and several
new cigarmakers were put to work

Charles Leitheiser, proprietor of
the cigar factory and general store
at Fleetwood, Berks county, moved
into the handsome new building
and store room he recently built.

Reading cigar manufacturers who
do considerable trade in the coal
regions state that they have been
unable to secure many new orders
there since the strike began. One
manufacturer, who has had a big
sale of his goods there for years,
said that there was more pipe smok-
ing in the coal regions than for a
long time, and that the dealers were
now handling smoking tobaccos in-
stead of cigars.

The Eighth Avenue Cigar Store
has been opened at 313 North
Eighth street, by Jacob H. Miller
and Nathan G. Rosenberg. The
store has been fitted out with new
show cases, card tables, magazines
for the use of the patrons, etc. They
carry a full line of the best cigars
and tobaccos.

William H. Yocum, of Yocum
Bros., has been spending several
weeks in the far West. He has
secured a number of large orders
for their leading brands and writes
home that the trade is in excellent

shape, with still brighter prospects.
He states that crops are good and
that money is plentiful.

Last week Stewart, Newberger
& Co advertised for fifth cigar-
makers, also bunch breakers and
rollers, but were unable to secure
the required number. Cigarmakers
are very scarce hereabouts. The
firm is exceedingly busy at present,

Daniel M. Bobb, cigar manufac-
turer at Womelsdorf, Berks county,,
has engaged Charles Lachmann as-
traveling salesman, who recently
returned from an eastern trip with
large orders for Mr. Bobb's leading.
5 and 10 cent brands.

John G Spatz & Co's. cigar fac-
tory is one of the businest in this^
section. Ths firm is now advertis-
ing for fifty cigarmakers for work
on high grade goods. Mr. Spotts
recently returned from a very suc-
cessful western business trip. The
orders he booked were principally
on the firm's 10 cent goods. The
latest brand gotten out by the firm
is the La Flor de Declarencia, which
is a fine piece of artistic lithographic
work. The label bears the picture
of Independence Hall, and portraits
of Livingston, Franklin, Jefferson,
Adams and Sherman, arranged in
a group festooned in the folds of the
American flag.

The cigar factory of Frank A,
Weber, which was opened recently
at 142 Cedar street, is now in full
operation. The firm is conducting
the plant as a strictly non union
factory. A new brand placed on
the market is the Montauk, a clear
Havana nickel cigar. Frank J.
Hunt, the local business manager,
recently returned from a successful
trip through Delaware. L. B.
Romig, who has had a number of
years experience in the trade, has
been secured as foreman of the plant.

Daniel Fleck, of the Fleck Cigar
Company, returned from a success-
ful four weeks western trip reaching
as far as Cincinnati, O. He re-
ceived a number of large orders for
the Eastern Buffalo and Smoke
House cigars, and the firm was never
more brisk than at present. A new
10 cent brand has been placed on
the market, styled the Royal Rob,
which is meeting with great suc-
cess. The label is one of the most
attractive ever put up by the firm.

Keyser Frey, of the Penn Cigar
Co., has been in the west for some
weeks, and while the trip was mostly
of a private nature, he also did a
fair business in the interest of the
firm.

Tom A. Dean in Tampa.

Tom A. Dean and F. A. Webb,
both of the Cuban American Manu-
facturing Co., are on their annual
visit to the company's factory in
Tampa.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

We are pleased to note that what
<igar leaf has been bargained for
has commanded a fair price, and
-when the crop is ready for market
good figures will be realized. The
weather has not been as good for the
last two weeks or so, but so far we
have not heard of any damage. The
bulk of the Connecticut seed leaf
has been sold, in all about 5.000
cases, prices ranging from 20 to 28
■cents in the bundle and assorted.
The weather at this writing was
never any better for late tobacco
than now. We hope that our grow
ers will not be in such a hurry to
sell as to take any old price the
packers may offer. I consider 20
cents a low price for good lots. Re-
collect that there is a short supply,
so don't give away your crops.

Our correspondents write :

Montague: "The crop is curing
down finely. A. M. Lyman is our
largest grower, and has excellent
soil for its cultivation. No sales as
yet to report."

Hatfield: John McHugh. one of
our progressive farmers has bought
of S. F. Billings & Brother fifteen
acres in the bundle at 16^ cents.
John J. Stringlin eight acres at 15
cents, and J. S. Newman twelve
acres at i6yi cents, all in the
bundle."

Ashfield: "Our crop of tobacco,
though small in acreage, is of choice
<[uality, sound and fine. We don't
care to sell until it is ready for
market. ' '

Putney, Vt.: "We have as good
3. crop of tobacco as we ever raised,
sound, fine and elastic, and the
colors are good. We are strong in
belief that good prices will be real-
ized for it. No sales yet."

Williamsburg: "The acreage this
year is about the same as last year.
The quality is as good as we ever
produced and is curing down well
.and light colors."

Amherst: The tobacco is grown
at the southern and northern parts.
The growth has been good, and has
cured well. We have so far no
damage. Some buyers have been
looking around, but so far as I know
the offers have been rejected." —
American Cultivator.

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
There is nothing doing in the
local maket. A few sales of old
have been reported, but there is as
yet no market for the new crop.
About 250 cases were shipped from
the Erdt warehouse early in the
week. At the Heinke warehouse
the handling of the Ohio packing
continues. No work is being done
at the other warehouses — Gazette.

MIAMISBURG, OHIO.

The demand for old tobacco con-
tinues active, and anything exhibit-
ing fair quality would still com-
mand a good price, but goods of
this description are very scarce, the
ordinary grades predominating.

The injury sustained by the crop
this year, which resulted from a
superabundance of moisture, is de
plored, as otherwise the crop is con
sidered one of the best ever grown
Seedleaf is the principal sufferer,
though some of the Zimmer is also
affected. The crop in this vicinity
seems to have suffered less than
elsewhere. It is said that in all of
the tobacco growing states the weed
is somewhat similarly affected. —
News.

EDGERTON, WIS.
While the buying movement is
still going on in nearly all the grow
ing sections of the state, there are
some evidences present that the first
rush is over and the volume of
business will be on the decline now
for a time. Many of the dealers
have secured about as many con
tracts as they desire and are ready
to Tiiirt from the field. It is be-
lieved that better than half the crop

has been sold to date and big slices
are being lopped oflF each week.
Prices lately have been crowded up
slightly, due to the competition
among the bujers, but the eflFort
seems to be to hold them as near
the 8 cent mark as possible.

There is but little improvement
in the condition of trade in the old
leaf markets A few sales of moder
ate sized lots are reported and some
orders for export goods received.
The remaining l(t> cf 1901, in
growers' hands, are being gradually
absorbed at prices that permit of
the goods being exported.

The return < f warm, pleasant
weather is assisting in the cure of
the late harvested tobacco and
practically insures it against fat
stems. Investigation goes to show
that the injury from shed damage
during the bad weather of a week
ago was but slight at most and
growers more frightened than hurt.

Our receipts this week were 11 hhd?,
offerings on the breaks, 50 hhds; sales,
164 hhds.

Our dealers this week opened
more freely the finest of their hold-
ings which greatly improved the
run of quality of the breaks. The
market was firm and unchanged
With very small receipts stocks are
running down steadily under the
weekly shipments.

Cutting of the new crop has been
going on all the week, and only a
remnant remains in the field. The
portion left in the ground after the
"frost scare" improved much in
size and quality under favorable
weather Planters seem to expect
high prices for their moderate crops.

WHY IT
4t PAYS! ^

It very often occurs that manufacturers in
various lines relegate to the scrap pile thousands
upon thousands of dollars' worth of the most
expensive machinery.

We sometimes hear or read about a manufac-
turer who has just installed an equipment of new
machinery only to tear it out and sell it as junk.

Why do they do this?^

Simply because new inventions, new dis-
coveries make what was
considered all right
yesterday all wrong
today.

They do it because
their success, their very
business existence, de-
pends upon keeping
abreast with the times,
at whatever cost, having
the most modern and
effective macMnery.

Now it is just the
same in the cigar making
business as it is with
any other. You can't
hope to compete with
your rivals, >ou cannot
expect to be prosperous
unless you keep up-to-
date, unless you see that
you are equipped with the best tools and
appliances which inventive genius can devise.

You can afford to install immediately the
DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

You could afford to do this if it cost three
or tour times as much as it does.

Thi'; is true simply because this table solves
the problem of making a perfect hand-made
cigar in the shortest possible time and at the

least possible cost. That is the whole story in
a nut-shell.

Progressive cigar manufacturers have con-
sidered the suction table a necessity in their
business nol withstanding the fact that the
dies and rollers of the suction table were
an expensive and irritating nuisance, and
only a makeshift at best.

Now we have a dieless table — a simple,

easily operated table
which cuts the wrapper
with a circular knife
instead of dies and rol-
lers, does not get out of
order and results in better
work in less time at
lower cost than can be
done in any other manner.
Such being the case how
can you afford to put off
installing this t:ble?

It will prove all that
we claim for it, and if you
could see it in operation
you would agree at once
that to a cigar manu-
facturer it is one of the
tlrst necessities of life.

A full and detailed
description (f the table
will enlighten you on many points which can-
not be covered in this advertisement.

We would be glad lo have you write us,
asking any questions that occur to you and we
will promptly reply in full.

To meet all sorts of views we still make
our Die Tables, admitted the best. Both kinds
on exhibition at our offices.

"The defendant demurs to the
complaint on the ground that the
facts stated therein do not constitute
a crime. The demurrer is sustained
by two of my learned associates,
Justices Forker and Fitzgerald. I
regret that I am unable to agree
with them on the point of law raised
by the demurrer.

"Section 438 A of the penal code
provides that a person who with in
tent to defraud or to enable another
to defraud any person, manufactures
or knowingly sells or causes to be
manufactured or sold any article
marked, stamped, or branded, or
encased or stamped, or stamped or
inclosed in any box, bottle or wrap-
per having thereupon any engraving
or printed label, stamp, imprint,
mark or trade mark, which article is
not the manufacture, workmanship
or production of the person named,
indicated or denoted by such mark-
ing, stamping or branding, or by or
upon such engraving, printed label,
stamp, imprint, mark or trade mark ,
is guilty of a misdemeanor.

"The affidavit of Abraham Berg*
mann, of 130 Glenmore avenue,
Brooklyn, a member of the Cigar-
makers* International Union of
America, and, as he alleges, a
brother of the defendant, charges
that the defendant called at his
liouse and stated that he, defendant,
was going to open a cigar factory
under the name of Hyman Aronson
Factory, No. 181. First District,
New York, so that he could get the
union label of the Cigarmakers'
Union, as he had been refused the
use of the label in the other factory
he was running at that time; that
he went to work for defendant in
the factory run under the name of
Hyman Aronson; that defendant
came there frequently and held con
ferences with Samuel Solomon
where no one could hear them; that
he gave deponent money to pay off
the men in this factory; that Philip
Libilsky and his son worked there
also; that the former informed him
that he, Libilsky, drew union labels
of the Cigarmakers' International
Union of America for the Factory
181, First District, New York,
under the names of Philip and M.
Libilsky, while they were working
in said factory. No. 1,268, First
District, New York, and that Sam-
uel Solomon drew union labels for
said factory, after said factory went
out of existence.

"Samuel Garfinkel, in an affi-
davit sworn to on August 4, 1902,
alleges that he, while working for
defendant at 53 Christopher street,
Brooklyn, pasted labels of the Ci-
garmakers' International Union of
America on boxes of cigars man

the Cigarmakers' Union of America
from one Samuel Solomon at various
times between February, 1902, and
May I, 1902 and sometimes at the
factory, 53 Christopher street,
Brooklyn, and at othtr times at the
house of Samuel Solomon; that the
labels had on them the factory
number 181, First District, Ntw
York, canceled June 20 and some
June 20, 1900, the aforesaid libels
pasted on boxes of cigars made in
the factory of Isaac Bergmann
which bore the number 1,268, First
District, New York.

"There is much more to the same
effect contained in this affidavit,
which purports to have been sworn
to on August 4, 1902.

"In view of what has already ap-
peared, however, I think it must be
clear that the complaint states facts
sufficient to constitute a crime, un-
der the sections of the statute above
cited; that the demurrer should be
overruled and the defendant re-
quired to plead to the complaint
and a day set for trial . The interest
of the public, I think, requires that
this course should be pursued.

Is the Use of Tobacco Un-
seemly in a Christian ?

"Penn" in the PhiU. Evening Bulletin.

The Baptist Association of this
city has adopted a resolution in
which the use of tobacco is con-
demned as unworthy of a Christian.
At the instance of the Rev. Mr.
Romine, its members have placed
on record a paper declaring that "as
the tobacco habit is filthy, expens-
ive, slavish, selfish and rum tend-
ing, it is not consistent with the
highest Christian life." It seems,
however, that an attempt was made
to defeat the resolution on the part
of those ministers who were unwill-
ing to subscribe to a declaration
which reflected upon their own
habits in the use of tobacco and
which they particularly objected to
on the ground that the word "filthy"
was unwarrantedly employed. But
it was contended that a man who
found enjoyment in chewing or in
smoking tobacco did not always
realize how far he might fall away
from the canons of personal cleanli-
ness, and that in any event it was
the duty of moral teachers to avoid
a practice common to worldly and
depraved persons and inharmonious
with the Christian mode. It might
have been propounded, however, by
those Baptist gentlemen whom the
Rev. Mr. Romine appears to have
had in mind as "filthy" sinners
needing to be purified, where he
can find any authority in the teach-
ings of the Founder of Christianity
by which the rational use of a pipe,
a plug of tobacco or a cigar is made
inconsistent with the obligations of
a Christian. Indeed they might
have pointed to the fact that not a
few of the most upright men in their
denomination, and for that matter
in all denominations, have enjoyed
tobacco with no thought that they
were guilty of impiety or unchris
tian conduct, and would have been
somewhat surprised to know that
they had given cause for an impugn-
ment of their morals.

No doubt the Rev. Mr. Romine,
and certainly many of his brethren,
have not forgotten that shining ex-
ample of piety among their laity,
Horatio Gates Jones. His father
was a noted Baptist clergyman; so
was his grandfather, his wife was
the daughter of a Baptist clergyman ;
and he himself was long an officer
of the Baptist Publication Society
and other organizations enlisted in
the promotion of good works. But
devout as he was in the performance
of his Christian obligations, he did
not look upon tobacco as an agent
of the devil, but, on the contrary,
found a regular daily solace in the
smoking of cigars. In his active
days it was as much his habit to

smoke as to pray. One day when
some of his brethren, who were con-
cerned in the management of the
Publication Society, were assembled
in his law office on Fifth street, one
of them, a well known clergyman,
half jocularly, and half seriously
inquired, "Brother Jones, do youi
think you do your duty as a Chris-
tian in keeping that cigar box on
your desk?" "My dear friend," was
the reply, "I get the comfort of my
working hours out of it; a good ci-
gar puts me in a better frame of
mind toward my fellow- men," and
then, with one of his characteristic-
ally quizzical looks at his critical
visitor, "I believe you would preach
better sermons for your congrega-
tion if you had a good cigar when
you were writing them." How in-
tolerable it would have been to have
put upon this earnest Christian
gentleman, with his pale, clean-cut
face, and his spotless linen, so coarse
an epithet as "filthy," or to have
imputed to him a deficiency in his
knowledge of what constitutes the
essentials of Christian virtue!

Of course, there are men who do
not know how to use tobacco with-
out making a mess of their mouths
and their salivary glands. But it
is equally true that there are men
who cannot sit down at table and eat
a plate of soup or a mutton chop
without some soiling slovenliness
or some obtrusive process of masti-
cation. Yet the Rev. Mr. Romine
surely would not condemn the eat-
ing of soup or of mutton chops as a
"filthy" habit because many per-
sons are unable to do one or the
other gracefully and cleanly. If he
were to hear a vegetarian or a Bible
Christian insist that not only were
such habits "filthy," but, in the
language of his resolution on to-
bacco, "expensive, slavish and rum
tending," he would doubtless be
moved to express dissent. He
would be able to show that most
pious Baptists as well as other pious
Christians have been and are hearty
lovers of flesh food, and would per-
haps contend that their carnivorous
tastes had not impaired their spirit-
ual nature or had been inconsistent
with the highest functions of Chris-
tian life. Nevertheless a vegetarian
could find quite as much warrant in
the Bible for denouncing the flesh
eaters as Mr. Romine has for de-
nouncing men who use tobacco.
Indeed, we all know that it is the
practice of many of the religious
vegetarians to argue that the eating
of meat is an unclean and vicious
habit, tending to impurity and
sensuality and altogether incom-
patible with exalted moral aims.
And it is very far, too, from an un-
common sight when a Christian
who takes great pride in his absti-
nence from liquors and tobacco may

as a manufactory, and asked if some
particular room in the dwelling
house should not be described on
Form 36 j^. He was advised that
the manufacturer's statement, Form
36^, should particularly describe
and designate the room or rooms
which would be occupied by him
as storage room, work room and
packing room, but that it is the
custom in some tenement houses
for some manufacturers of cigars
to occupy the entire premises, some
rooms for stripping tobacco, other
rooms for making cigars and pack
ing and stamping them, and that
such rooms are sometimes also used
for living rooms; this fa'^t would
not operate to prohibit the manu
factnrer from making cigars in his
living rooms, as it is not incom-
patible with his business as a man-
ufacturer.

An Assigned Rebate Claim.
A collector recently advised the
Commissioner that a tobacco dealer
in his district, who had presented
an allowable rebate claim under the
act of April 12, 1902, claimant had
made an assignment of his property
for the benefit of his creditors, and
instructions were asked as to what
steps the assignee shall take in
order that the rebate might be paid
to him for the benefit of said cred-
itors. The Commissioner ruled
that if the amount of the claim
made by this party had been referred
to and included in the assignment
made by him to said assignee, an
authentic copy of the record of the
appointment of such assignee under
the certificate and seal of the clerk
of the court in which the proceedings
are pending, might be forwarded
to the Commissioner, together with
the claim of the person named as
assignee, such name to be substi-
tuted for that of the original claim-
ant.

Destroying Waste Material.
A collector advised that it had
been his practice to require manu
facturers to make application to him
for special permit to destroy tobacco
stems and waste material. He was
advised that it is not necessary for
either a manufacturer of tobacco or
a manufacturer of cigars to make
application for a special permit to
destroy tobacco stems, siftings, dust
or other waste material which would
accumulate by manufacturing and
stemming tobacco at the factory,
but that all such waste material
must be destroyed or made worth-
less for use in manufacturing a tax
able tobacco product by rotting, or
mixing the same with ashes, lime,
bone dust or other such substance
before removal from the factory.
It was advised, further, that every
manufacturer destroying tobacco

stems and accumulated waste must
report the same on his monthly re-
turn each month, but that no credit
above the 25 per cent, allowed for
stems would be allowed in the ac-
counts of a tobacco manufacturer,,
except the additional 3 per cent, al-
lowed by Rule 2, computed on all
unstemmed leaf tobacco used in
manufacturing, provided the pro-
duct was a dry smoking tobacco or
a dry snufiF.

An Advertising Sign.
A manufacturing concern sub-
mitted to the Commissioner an ad-
vertising sign, consisting of a minia-
ture log cabin made of rolls of to-
bacco, and intended to be used a»
a trade display or as an advertise-
ment of their brand of cigars. They
desire to be informed whether they
might make use of the tobacco and
remove the article when completed
from their factory, free from tax,,
and place it in show windows for
advertising purposes. Their atten-
tion was called to the provisions of
Section 3394 of the Revised Statutes,
as amended by Section 10 of the
act of July 24, 1897, which pro-
vides that all rolls of tobacco, or
substitute therefor wrapped in to-
bacco, shall be classed as cigars,
and Section 3392, which provides
that all cigars shall be packed in
boxes, etc. Section 3397 also pro-
vides penalties for the removal of
cigars from the manufactory with-
out the proper stamp thereon and
without branding the boxes in a
legible manner, the penalty being
the forfeiture of the goods to the
United States. Under all these con-
ditions the Commissioner rules that
the manufacture of such a model i»
prohibited and that the same can
not be lawfully made by a manu-
facturer of cigars and removed from
his factory free of tax.

Porto Rico Scrap.
A firm of leaf dealers in Chicago
purchased tobacco scraps in Porto
Rico, which were brought to the
United States, and on reaching port
an application was made for the re-
lease of the tobacco material to the
owner as a dealer in leaf tobacco.
He was advised that this material,
tobacco scraps, cigar cuttings or
clippings produced in Porto Rico,
could not be brought into the United
States and released to a dealer in leaf
tobacco; but that under the regula-
tions relating to articles of merchan-
dise coming from Porto Rico, such
material brought from Porto Rico
could be delivered directly to a
qualified manufacturer of tobacco or
cigars, and without the payment of
the tax, under special permit, Form
100, to be issued to the collector of
Internal Revenue for the district in
which the material is first landed;

and if to be delivered elsewhere, and
to a manufacturer outside of the
district, he must give the collector
a receipt therefor in duplicate,
showing the number of cases, bales
or other packages, and the net
weight thereof and from whom re-
ceived, one of said receipts to be
held by the collector, and the other
to be forwarded to the collector for
the district in which the factory is
situated. In this connection it was
advised that dealers in leaf tobacco
are not privileged to receive and
sell cigar cuttings or clippings or
other bi-products of domestic or
foreign tobacco or cigar factories.

Alominam Cigar Package.
A manufacturer submitted a
sample aluminum box with wooden
bottom, containing fifty cigars of
the ordinary size, to which had been
aflfixed the required caution notice
label, and properly branded in the
manner provided by sections 3363
and 3397. The box was approved
under section 3362 in lien of wooden
boxes for packing cigars. The
manufacturer had asked the privi-
lege of placing the stamp over a
pasteboard card covering the cigars,
so as to allow the lid of the box to
be free. It was advised that this
method of stamping the box would
not be approved, and that the stamp
must be so applied as to seal the
box, one end of the stamp to be
applied to one end of the box and
over and across the lid, and aflBxed
to the opposite end of the box so as
to securely seal the package and
prevent the cigars from being re
moved without breaking the stamp,
and that the stamps must be can-
Keeled on that portion attached to
the lid by waved lines, and further
canceled by the registered factory
number and date of use being legibly
written or printed directly upon the
stamp and that the lid should not
conceal any portion of the stamp.
Another manufacturer submitted for
approval a small aluminum box con-
taining twelve cigars, and the ends
of the stamp were afl&xed to the sides
of the box and over and on a paste-
board lid or card, in the manner in-
dicated by the larger box above re-
ferred to. The applicant was in-
formed that this method of stamping
the box was not approved, and that
the stamp must be applied in such
manner that it would securely seal
the lid to the box and prevent the
cigars from being removed or the lid
raised without breaking the stamp.

(Time of correspondenc*, the year of

Captain Mirabell in London, to his
friend, Sir Harry Wildair, in the country:

Dear Old Hal—

Ods, Hal, but the unapproacha-
ble Millamant bids fair to be im-
pregnable. She is not only ice, but,
what is worse, she is icy. And yet,
as you well know, Hal, who know
our London women so well, none
is so worth the winning as this
delicious maid, this fine lady of a
thousand airs and graces, who uses
the cupid's bow of her perfect mouth
not for kissing, as her Maker in-
tended, but for laughing. And 'tis
I, dolt, oaf, yokel that I am, at
whom all her arrows have latterly
been aimed. Cruel? Millamant is
more than cruel. She is a goddess,
and as heartless as Venus herself;
and to Venus' beauty she adds the
wisdom of Minerva and the stately
indifference of Juno.

How is such a monster to be as-
sailed? for monster she is, Harry,
for all her beauty and the soft lan-
guor that ofttimes sleeps within her
sapphire eyes.

Is any man preferred to me by
this paragon? I hear you ask, Hal-
Yea, a score and more. She scarce
ever deigns to give me a glance.
Moreover, whenever I am in her
vicinage I can hear the ripple of
her laugh that seems directed at me,
and, oh, 'tis then I feel the pangs
of love despised.

She is witty, too, the minx. Of
late she has let fly all the shafts of
her ridicule at those of us, her
adorers, who use snuff. She calls
us walking snuff-boxes; swears we
are powdered with snuff; that our
brains, if we have any, are infil-
trated with snuff; that with snuff
our skins are browner than any red
man's; that our wits arebemuddled
with snuff; in short, Hal, the radi
ant maid, fashion's and London's
queen, has been so severe upon us
we are almost one in determining to
make a bonfire at Whitehall of our

piring and suspiring all the wit and
all the brightness that have made
our Court and our assemblies fam-
ous over Europe. And yet Milla-
mant is worth it all, if it but thaw
her icv heart.

Mr. Harry W. Bremer.

Millamant, in her morning robe, ad-
dresses the lap dog she is holding between
herself and her mirror:

•'Ha, ha, ha, doggie, I can tell
my secrets to you, for you cannot
blab them about again, and this is
such a delicious secret, doggie. I
am in love, deep, earnest, solemn,
honest love, doggie, and with the
finest man the sun ever shone on; a
demigod for beauty, a sage for wis
dom, and a very diamond for wit.
He has finer laces than I, doggie,

you see him, doggie, bite his heels;
I'll make a meal of the rest of him

after that."

III.

Lady Harry Wildair, in the country, to
MistreFS Millamant, in London:

A letter hath of late fallen into
my hands, child, over which I have
laughed most immoderately. I
found it in my Harry's pocket after
the hunt but yesterday. Certes, he
would not wish I should have seen
it, but 'twas providence, and here
it is before me. The writer is one
Captain Mirabell, and it is all about
you, child. Full of burning pas-
sion for you it is, and yet despair-
ing, withal. The poor worm is
dying for love of you. He swears
you are a Venus, a Minerva, a Juno,
a paragon, a monster. He vows
you have scores of lovers, each
more favored than himself. That
the scores of aspirants for yourhand,
child, fill London with their moan-
ings I can well believe, for it is
known how large your fortune is
and what your reversion from your
aunt.

Be guided by me, child. Take
Mirabell. His fortune is larger
than yours, and as to his snuff tak-
ing, believe me child, he would not
be half so bright without it. Snuff
is the best medicine for the brain,
and snuff takers make good hus-
bands. Cease teasing this lover,
and when next he comes awooing
turn him not adrift.
IV.

King Charles, his Queen and all
the Court attended the wedding of
the glorious Millamant and the bril-
liant Captain Mirabell. His amber
snuff box is now in the Wallace
collection in London.

The Case Against The Trust

Following is the text of the docu-
ment read at the anti- trust meeting
of the New York Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade, on October 14:

This meeting, comprised of whole
sale leaf tobacco dealers in the city
of New York, is convened not to
condemn as a class the vast corpor
ate aggregations know as "trusts,"
but to call a halt, if it is in our
power, to the lawless methods of
the American Tobacco Trust.

Those gathered here recognize
that there are combinations in par-
ticular trades or industries which
have no mischievous tendency ; that
such combinatians produce econ-
omies which inure to the benefit of
the consumer in general; that they
a£ford advantages to the public as
a whole which overshadow any in-
dividual grievances. These con-
stitute organizations which in pub-
lic speeches have been alluded to
as the "good trusts." We concur
in the opinion that such combina-
tions have contributed to the pros-
perity of the country and have pro-
moted the happiness of the entire
people. It is not desired to create
a hostile sentiment against corpora-
tions of enormous capital; there is
no clamor to destroy — to pull down
what has been constructed with the
wondrous skill peculiar to the
American people; no inflammatory
language is to be used to excite
popular prejudice. The object of
this meeting is intended simply to
view in a calm, dispassionate and
impartial manner the conduct of
one giant body, whose methods and
operations have affected every branch
of that important industry, the to-
bacco trade, and to present these
views to the leading political parties
of this country.

It is well known that every polit
ical platform, National and State,
contains provisions denouncing
trusts and promising to the people re
lief from their pernicious influences.

The sincerity of these promises is
now to be tested. It is to be de
termined whether these are mere
idle words to allure the voter, or
whether, with the proper opportu-
nity, such as is now at their dis
posal, these promises are to be put
into effect.

Whichever one of the political
parties will assume specifically to
curb these evils by manifesting that
disposition in advance of election,
with that party will be cast the in-
fluence, power and prestige of all
persons directly or indirectly con-
nected with this industry. We
pledge now to exercise our personal
franchise in favor of that party, and
of that party only, which will show
its disapprobation of this company 's
methods, and which will directly
and in positive terms undertake to
eliminate from it its evil qualities.
We do not make this demand ex-
cept upon the ground that it is an
unlawful company, carrying on
business in violation of law; and if
the facts which are now submitted
do not bear out this assertion, no
action is asked on the part of any
political party.

Prior to 1890 there were in the
United States five leading cigarette
manufacturers. They were in
healthy and active competition with
one another. The jobbers who dis-
tributed the manufacturers' pro
ducts to retailers were able to buy
at prices regulated by competition,
and they sold to the retailers in the
same manner. The retailer was
able to dispose of his goods without
control or influence of anybody.

In 1890 these manufacturers com-
bined themselves into the Ameri
can Tobacco Co., with a capital of
$25,000,000. Eighty per cent, of
this capital, to wit, $20,000,000,
was for trademarks and goodwill.
At this particular period the tobacco
trade consisted of many important
elements. There were farmers in
many States raising tobacco. There
were manufacturers of cigars, of
snuff, of smoking tobacco, of plug
tobacco. These manufacturers
bought from the jobbers of leaf to-
bacco who were competing in the
farming districts for the purchase
of the raw leaf. There were the
manufacturer and the retailer and
the jobber of cigars The retailer
was a distributer to the consumer.
It will be seen that this was one of
the leadingindustries of thecountry .
The flower of the business world
was found within its lines. Now
it is all fading. Men were then
their own masters and were per
mitted to conduct their business
according to their own ideas. All
of this is no more. A healthy,
flourishing and prosperous trade has
been seriously affected by methods
which the statutory law, the de-
cisions of the courts, and the plat-
forms of all political parties have
condemned.

When the American Tobacco Co.
started doing business it controlled
over 90 per cent, of the cigarette

Perique Tobacco.

In answer to the inquiry of a
Tenn.'sseean of Nashville, I would
say that the Acadians, who settled
in Louisiana after their expulsion
frotii Nova Scotia by the English
in 1755, were the originators of
perique tobacco. Early in their
history in Louisiana the Acadians,
through the eflForts of Pierre Chenet,
who appears to have been a great
leader among them, learned to grow
and cure tobacco in its own juices,
which tobacco became exceedingly
popular among the old French
regime.

This peculiar tobacco, so far as
is known, is grown nowhere else in
the world except in Louisiana, and
by no other people except the
Acadians. Its culture is confined
almost exclusively to the parish of
St. James, which lies on the Mis
sissippi River, fifty miles above New
Orleans. The face of the country
is level, interrupted occasionally by
morasses, bayous and swampy lakes.
Immediately upon the banks of the
Mississippi River the land is more
elevated and slopes gently back-
wards two or three miles to cypress
swamps which form a line nearly
parallel with the river. In the
midst of these swamps there are
elevated spots or islands rising a
few fett above the general level.
The soil of these spots is exceed-
ingly fertile, and in its primitive
condition is covered with dense
canebrakes, above which tower in
great magnificence and beauty the
live oak, the magnolia, grandiflora,
the red gum and pecan.

The early French settlers were in
the habit of driving their cattle to

could browse on the succulent and
nutri ious cane. For this reason
these spots were called vacheries,
or "cattle lands." These "cattle
lands" near Convent and Grand
Poiute have been cleared up by the
Acadians and put in cultivation.
Here they live, and grow the
perique tobacco, one of the most
interesting products grown in the
country on account of the peculiar
manner of curing it.

The cultivation of the crop in the
field does not differ materially from
its cultivation in Tennessee and
K ^ntucky— the object being to keep
all the grasses and weeds in sub-
jection. The harvesting of the crop
usually takes place in July. The
plants are cut with a hatchet, but
the stalk is not split. When cut the
plants are taken to a shed, where
boys and girls are busily employed
sharpening pieces of dried cane two
or three inches in length. A piece
of this sharpened cane is driven into
each stalk of tobacco near the lower
end, making an acute angle with
the stalk, so as to form a hook.
By this hook the plant is suspended
on one of a number of ropes
stretched lengthwise in the shed.
As the plants wilt the distance be-
tween them on the ropes is dimin-
ished. As each leaf becomes em-
browned, and while the stem mid-
rib is yet green, it is plucked from
the stalk and the midrib pulled out.
Some twenty or more of these half
cured leaves are made into a loose
twist and a number of these twists
are packed in a box eleven inches
square and with a capacity of fifty
pounds when full. The box and
contents are put under a lever prize,
the lever being 12 to 14 feet long,
to which weights are attached so
as to secure a pressure on the to-
bacco of at least 7,000 pounds to
the square foot. A continuity of
pressure is required, and for this
reason a screw prize is never used.
Remaining in press for twenty-
four hours, the tobacco is taken out
from under pressure, opened and
thoroughly aired for a few minutes,
until the exuded juices, black,
thick and tarry, can be reabsorbed,
when it is repacked in the box and
the pressure put on again. This
treatment is continued with the to-
bacco in each box for the period of
ten days in succession. From a
light brown the tobacco grows
darker each day, until it shines in
unctuous blackness. This manip-
ulation, after ten days, becomes less
frequent, an airing every three or
four days being deemed sufl5ciently

these elevated spots, so that they I juices!

often to bring about a final cure.
The whole time occupied is about
three months, when the tobacco
emits a rich, spirituous and fruity
odor, which has been imparted to it
by the reabsorption of its serated

Perique tobacco is put up in cyl-
indrical rolls, called carottes.of four
pounds each generally. These are
first wrapped in cloth, and a rope,
half an inch in diameter, is then
wound in a coil around it from end
to end. It is thus prepared for
market. The tobacco often remains
in boxes under pressure for twelve
months, growing sweeter and more
fragrant with time, and is only put
into the form of carottes when the
planter denires to sell.

Dr. Gideon E Moore, who inves-
tigated for the Government the
changes that take place in the to-
bacco by curing, says:

"In the case of perique cured in
its juices we have manifestly an in-
stance of conversion of a large por-
tion of both the citric and malic
acids into acetic and butyric acid,
and the agreeably fruity odor which
this tobacco acquires during the fer-
mentation, while partly due to these
acids, would indicate the presence
of substances similar to the volatile
oil obtained by Liebig during the
fermentation of malic acid. Perique
tobacco contains but little over one-
fourth of the citric acid, but one half
the nitric acid and about six times
the amount of acetic acid contained
in the air- cured leaf.

"Nearly the entire product of the
perique region, amounting now to
about 175,000 pounds, is taken by
manufacturers, and it is by them
treated as raw material. They make
it into fine-cut, in which form it has
a glossy appearance, totally different
from any other fine cut tobacco.
This gloss or varnish is due to the
superabundance of juices which
steep and saturate the carotte, and
so securely are they sealed up that
no vicissitudes of climate or season
are able to diminish them. The
fine cut, in its turn, is manufactured
into cigarettes, and the tobacco, to
a very limited extent, into cigars
It is also packed in paper packages,
tin cans and glass jars, for use in
the pipe, and is also used to mix
with weaker kinds of tobacco, by
which the flavor, but not the
strength, of the perique is preserved.
A very small quantity is made into
snuff, which, by a French gentle-
man of the old regime, is preferred
to any other kind.

"The great points of excellence
claimed for perique are:

"First.— Its great strength. It
has a large content of nicotine,
amounting to 4 32 per cent., and
more sweet juices than any other
kind. It is, therefore, valuable for
mixing with lighter and weaker
kinds.

"Second. — It is free from the
acrid, biting, creosotic taste so com-
mon in other kinds of Southern-
grown tobacco, and has a rich, fra-
grant odor,combined with a smooth,
delicate taste

"Third. — By men of literary
habits it is said that perique to-
bacco stimulates the action of the
brain, and that its narcotic effects
are less than those of any other sort
of tobacco. Men of vigorous con-
stitution affirm that it produces an
exhilaration of spirits akin to that
which comes from drinking good
old wine, without tht disagreeable

results too apt to follow the use of
the latter stimulant."

A Funny Catechism on

Cuban Tobacco,

In compliance with the request of
a Havana subscriber I reprint what
he calls the funny tobacco catechism
of which Thomas Campbell Cope-
land, "assisted by Maria Soltera
and Maurice Magnus" is the author,
and which was originally published
in the American Colonial Handbook
in 1899. Following is the "cate-
chism" as to tobacco in Cuba :

TOBACCO.

How is the tobacco growing area of
the island divided?
Into two unequal parts, called La
Vuelta de Arriba and La Vuelta de
Abajo, the tobacco produced within
each area having distinctive qual-
ities.

Where is tobacco grown with great-
est success?

It grows well in all parts of the
island, but the chief seat of its cul-
tivation is along the southern slopes
of the Cordillera de las Organos, in
Pinar del Rio, the famous Vuelta
Abajo region, which produces the
finest leaf in the world.
Is the leaf known as "Havana to-
bacco" grown near that city?

No; it is frequently from the land
on the borders of the rivers Hondo,
Sico, and Leo, in a mountainous
country intersected by little valleys,
the slightly sanded soil of which is
well adapted for the growth of fine
tobacco.

Of what quality is the exported
Cuban tobacco?
Poor and medium, as a rule. The
best tobacco is hardly ever exported.
Cubans, of all classes and ages, and
of both sexes, are inveterate smok-
ers, and they insist on using the
best leaf grown on the island. To-
bacco for home consumption is fre-
quently purchased in advance of the
crops. It is estimated that at least
5 000,000 cigars per diem are con-
sumed in Cuba.

Are all Havana made cigars of
Cuban tobacco?
No; as an illustration, in one
year, out of 515 333. 000 cigars ex-
ported from Havana, only 251,333,-
000 were made from Cuban leaf, the
remainder having been imported
from Puerto Rico.

Is the import of Puerto Rican to-
bacco now permitted in Cuba ?

No; the prohibitory order took

gaged in tobacco cultivation?

About 80,000

What is the estimated average to-

560,000 bales of 1 10 lbs., 338,000
bales being exported and the re-
mainder used in cigar and cigarette
manufacture in Havana.

During the week ending October
1 1 a further shrinkage in the quan-
tity of bales sold is to be noted, as
the total amount does not sum up
over 4,600 bales, of which the
United States took 3,000 bales while
the remaining i ,600 bales are to be
put down for Havana manufac-
turers. A.S to districts, the Vuelta
Abajo and Partidos furnished 1,900
bales each, while of Remedios 800
bales are reported sold.

Prices for factory vegas and good
fillers of Vuelta Abajo and Partido
are as high as ever, and no down-
ward movement is probable, owing
to the scarcity of such goods. Re-
medios still remains neglected, and
unless some activity should spring
up in the United States for this
article no advance in prices can be
looked for; still people who do not
judge by the present circumstances
are looking ahead and feel strong in
the conviction that the worst dull
period has passed^ that a better de-
mand must prevail ere long, and
that the current low prices cannot
be maintained with the advancing
season. Their calculations are
based mainly upon the fact that the
filler part of Vuelta Abajo will not
be suflScient for the demand, and
that the extremely high prices
asked for the latter must create an
inquiry for old Remedios ere long.
The rise in sugar may also have
the eflFect that less tobacco will be
planted in the Vuelta Arriba and
that more ground will be again de-
voted to the raising of sugar cane.
At the current low figures for Re-
medios it simply does not pay the
vegueros to raise tobacco any longer,
therefore it would be but natural to
suppose that the law of supply and

demand should also regulate this
article.

The 1903 Crop.
From some parts of the Vuelta
Abajo come reports that owing to
drouth the seedlings were lost, while
other sections complain of too much
rain, but it is safe to say that these

are isolated cases more or less, and
that no general damage has been
done to speak of. In any event,
enough seedlings have been planted
and prices are low, indicating that
they are plentiful; still, as the
month of October is always uncer-
tain, no forecast made now can
possibly be accurate, and everything
will depend upon the next three
weeks. In Havana the weather
has been rainy, sultry, but no high
winds have prevailed. Transplant-
ing is progressing vigorously where
the people have the means, as in
the Partidos, for instance, while in
the Vuelta Abajo, some sections
may suffer for want of money forth-
coming for the poorer vegueros,
unless assistance should come soon.
Cano y Hno. have set out over
1,500,000 plants upon their tumba-
dero farms and Don Adolfo Moeller
has now replanted 50,000 matas
upon his vegas in Guira de Melena
township, all under cheese cloth
covering. G. Salomon y Hno.
have also prepared their grounds
upon their farm in the same dis-
trict, and will plant upon a bigger
scale than ever this season.
Arrivals la Havana.
Don Enrique Bosselman, of the
firm of Carlos Blasco, has returned
to Havana. H. Tausig and Kmil
Wedeles, of Chicago, Don Avelino
Pazos, of A. Pazos & Co., New
York, and of Jose Santalla & Co.,
of Havana, who returned from a
four months' vacation in Spain, W.
S Lightbourne, of the Cortex Ci-
gar Co., of Key West, and Don
Luis Marx and Mr. J. Bernheim,
both of New York.

Departures.
Edgar Lincoln to New York and
J. Lowe to Key West, both of the
firm of P. Pohalski & Co., New
York and Key West. Don Luis
Marx was the recipient of universal
testimonials of sympathy on the
part of his numerous friends who
vividly share the loss with him in
the demise of Donna Eugenia.
Havana Cigar Factories.
The activity in the different fac-
tories was broken this week by the
Cuban holiday on October 10, and
while the majority kept their work-
rooms closed, the Sol factory, for
one, was obliged to keep their men
at their tables, in order to fill some
urgent orders for immediatedelivery.
Don Carlos Behrens, who returned
in the best of health and in good
spirits, has reason to be satisfied
with his European tour this past
spring and summer, as he succeeded
in placing large orders in Germany,
and through this will be enabled to

fill any calls for bright, live colors
for the United States market, as
Germany, on the contrary, prefers
the dry-looking, dead colors As
a vega contains usually both kinds
of leaves and colors, naturally the
manufacturers seek to find an out-
let in both directions, so as to work
to most advantage. In London,
Don Carlos succeeded in placing
the control of the Sol brand with
the most important and largest im-
porters of the world, Wm. Klingen-
stein &Co., who import more cigars
[ than all Germany together, and
nearly as much as the whole United
States take of Cuban cigars in a
year's time. While the Sol factory
has enough stock on hand of old
tobacco, it added 200 bales of a
very fine Vuelta Abajo factory vega
to its stock, in order not to let its
supply run short and particularly
as it sold some old wrapper bales
just to help a friend out upon cer-
tain sizes. Naturally Don Carlos
made a fair profit, but the friend
was equally well pleased, as old
wrappers are as hard to find as the
proverbial "needle in a hay stack."
Suarez & Co., better known as
••LaFlorde J. S. Murias," have
large orders from London. The
transfer to the American owners is
about to take place, as preliminary
to it stock was taken on October 10
and If. H. Upmann & Co. are
shipping 1,100.000 cigars by the
•teamship Morro Castle. Don Leslie
Pantin has 300,000 cigars and
Neuhaus, Neuman & Co. 250,000
to go by the same steamer. The
accident to Don Segundo Alvarez,
whose horse fell upon him this week
and caused a fracture of the left leg,
is widely deplored, and it is hoped
that the cure may be a complete one
in the regular course of time. The
invitations for the house warming
of the new factory of the firm of
Segundo Alvarez & Co. at Lealtad
no, have been postponed on this
account. "Lord Beaconsfield" and
"Flor el Todo"are, however, gain-
ing more customers every day, as
the material employed in these ci-
gars is of the best the Vuelta Abajo
produces.

U. S. Cigar Manufacturers.
Don Mortimer Regensburg pur-
chased 900 bales more of choice
Vuelta Abajo and Partido factory
vegas. Don Gabriel Balbin, of B.
Perez & Balbin Bros., secured 300
bales of extra fine Vuelta and Par-
tido fillers and wrappers.

Doings of Havana Commission Mer-
chants and Leaf Dealers During

Leslie Pantin purchased 200 bales

customers.

Jorge, P. Castaneda & Co. sold
800 bales of Partido and Vuelta
Abajo factory vegas.

Jose Menendez disposed of 250
bales Partido tobacco.

Bruno Diaz & Co. closed out 300
bales of Vuelta Abajo and Partido
factory vegas, as well as 200 bales
of Vuelta Abajo colas.

Aixala & Co. delivered nearly
600 bales of Partido and Artemisa
tobacco upon old contracts, sold
250 bales of Remedios and thirteen
bales Partido wrappers for $9,000
to a Havana cigar manufacturer.

Sanchez y Cueto are still reaeiv-
ing very fine and choice yegas from
Vuelta Abajo, and sold 250 bales
of the latter to a factory in Havana.

Garcia & Co. shipped 739 bales
by the steamship Morro Castle.

Sobrinos de Antero Gonzalez dis-
posed of 300 bales of Vuelta Abajo
and Partido, besides trading upon
larger quantities, which may be re-
ported next week.

Remigio Lopez & Co. sold 100
bales of Vuelta Abajo, and advise
their friends of having received 500
bales of Remates upon consign-
ment from the country.

G. Salomon y Hnos. report 100
bales of Partido wrappers as sold to
one of their friends.

Jose Santalla & Co. — Their esco-
jida in Consolacion del 8ur is still
working, and will yield nearly 3,000
bales when finished. One feature
of it is that the separate vegas have
been selected by the firm, thus hav-
ing the identical tobacco in their
different lots from their packings
and no mixture of two or more
farmers' tobacco. They have kept
the yellow tobacco perfectly distinct
and separate, and as they can dis-
pose of this class to a factory in Ha-
vana their northern friends would
only receive the best part of ripe,
brown colors and fine aroma. They
have bought of the famous localities
such as "Las Taironas," "Las
Ovas," "LasCuchillos," "ElPara-
iso," "Los Mogotes," etc., Don
Avelino Pazos is satisfied with the
quantity of wrappers yielded so far.

Among the Quaker City Tobacco Men.

B. Green wald, formerly with J
L. Greene at loth and Chestnut
streets, has been made Manager of
the two stores now operated in this
city by the United Cigar Stores
Company, which are respectively at
8th and loth and Chestnut streets
Goods have so far been sold at the
regular prices prevailing previous to
the change in ownership, but the
trade appears to be in a state of
somewhat confused expectancy, and
is in fact awaiting a more radical
move on their part. The 13th and
Market streets store is not yet near
ly fitted out, and many are enter
taining some doubts as to the com-
pany's intention of really starting
operations at that place.

E Y. Sterner 's Sons are putting
on the market a new brand of clear
Havana goods, under the name of
Grandina, which is retailing at 15
cents each, and will be made up in
about 16 sizes. The principal seller
at present is the Imperial Finos, and
Mr. Sterner states that it promises
to be by far the most successful pro-
duct in strictly high grade that they
have ever attempted. Retail trade
with them has been quite excellent.

Fisher Bros, are starting in the
cigar business at 17 S. 9th street,
formerly occupied by Fellheimer &
Co., and have equipped it in an up-
to-date manner, and are carrying a
good line of high grade goods.

B. Herbst several weeks ago suc-
ceeded to the ownership of the cigar
department of a store at 17 N. 13th
street, and is now doing a fairly
satisfactory business there.

Hyman Miller, formerly at 814
S. nth street, has sold out that
store and removed to 15th and
Federal streets, where he is continu
ing in the business.
' «%

The Stinson-Thomson Co., at
237 S. I ith street, are getting fairly
under way with their Wardelo brand
of nickel goods, and are slowly
building up a healthy trade locally.

John N. Kolb, of the Theobald &
Oppenheimer Company, has gone
to Havana to look over the tobacco
market there, and it is expected
that he will make selections of a
number of such desirable lots as he
can find that will meet their grow-
ing requirements for some time to
come.

Bayuk Bros,, at Fourth and Mar-
ket streets, have increased their
facilities by the addition of another
floor in the building for some time
occupied in pare by them. Their
goods are quite firmly established
here, and at present there is every
indication of a growing trade.

Frank Teller & Co. have em-
ployed F. A. Bennet, who is more
popularly known as the man on
stilts, in advertising their Royal
Blue 5 cent cigars. Although not
new in this city it is still attracting
much attention.

Leaf men have been out in force
during the past week. Among the
earlier callers in the market were
Julis Fox, of P. L. Leaman & Co.,
Lancaster, H. G. Blass, a leaf
broker of Reading. Pa., and among
the later arrivals were Geo Gibson,
of Sneeringer & Co., Baltimore, B
Weber, with the Baltimore Leaf
Tobacco Co., Baltimore, Louis Leo
pold, of John Leopold & Son, M.
C. Meyer, with Simon Auerbach
& Co., George F. Schnath, with
Schroeder & Arguimbau, of New
York.

PHILA, I,EAF MARKET.

A more or less sluggish market
has been experienced during the
past week. In a manner there is a
demand for almost every type of ci
gar leaf, but buyers apparently were
wanting such goods only as were
needed for almost immediate use.
consequently the volume of business
with most houses was comparatively
small October as a whole has not
been any too satisfactory, yet hopes
are entertained that the remaining
ten days mayshow an improvement
Little worthy of comment has trans
pired during the week, and no spe
cially important developments in
the near future are expected.

Thie Havana market has been
perhaps more steady than the do-
mestic leaf, sales being confined to
small lots. Prices are well main
tained.

There has been practically no
change in the Sumatra market. In
view of the prospective settlement
of the coal miners' strike, manufac-
turers through Pennsylvania seem
more willing to look at goods,
which is at least slightly more en-
couraging.

New York Leaf Market.

The glory has not yet departed
from the New York leaf tobacco
district, for one large house in Water
street last week sold 200 bales of
Sumatra in one lot. Besides, a
number of large Eastern cigar man
ufacturers were in the market dur
ing the week on a hunt for desirable
leaf.

Otherwise business was quiet dur-
ing the week.

The last Sumatra inscription of
the season of 1902 took place in
Amsterdam on October 17. Of the
total offerings of 18,070 bales only
about 1,100 were taken for the

Cigarettes at the Club.

Why "Aoglo-Egyptians" arc Favorites at the
Knickerbocker.

Two members of the Knicker
bocker Club, of Fifth avenue. New
York, one youthful the other middle
aged, were discussing cigarettes with
their after- luncheon coffee one day
last week. They were uncle and
nephew, and both had just returned
from what might be called from the
intimacy of the association an arm-
in- arm pleasure trip around the
world. Each is an inveterate cigar
ette smoker, and it is doubtful if
any city in the world can produce
their equals for connoisseurship in
this regard.

It was a freshly lighted Anglo-
Egyptian No. I straw tipped cigar-
ette that started the uncle off.

••Reggie," he said, "I think this
beats those cigarettes we smoked at
the Gezireh Palace in Cairo last
March, when your precious old
lungs sent us to the Nile."

"And yet," responded Reggie,
"it wasn't altogether my lungs that
induced you to go to Egypt. I re
call that you said something before
we left Marseilles about the Sphinx
being well worth a visit and about
the extraordinarily fine quality of
the cigarettes to be had in Cairo.
And yet we both voted the Sphinx
a bore, and I am qnite sure we have

found better cigarettes in Berlin, in
Vienna, and in London than the
best we were able to buy in Egypt. ' '
"Yes, ' ' responded Reggie's uncle,
"but it is after all right here in our
our own club, in little old New
York, that we are able to get a ci-
garette made right here at home of
imported Turkish tobacco that beats
anything that either Egypt or
Europe gave us."

"Whew!" said Reggie pursing up
his lips, "but isn't that rather high
praise?"

"Oh, I don't know," answered
the older man; "since I say the
same sort of thing about foreign
articles that are really superior to
our home products, such as cham
pagne, and London-made clothes
and a few other luxuries like those,
why should I fill my mouth with
ice when I undertake to talk about
the fine cigarettes made here in New
York? I tell you, my boy, the chaps
that put these Anglo Egyptian No.
I 's together knew their little book
all right, all right."

"And I note," remarked Reggie,
"that Delmonico's, Sherry's, Rec-
tor's, the Waldorf-Astoria, the Cafe
Martin, and every other swell place
in New York takes the same view,
for I see from the card that these ci
garettes are on sale at every one of
these places, and it isn't likely they
wotild be if they weren't the best

ever. I was over in the com
factory, at 208 West 42d street
other day and I saw how these ci
garettes are made. They take as
much pains with them as Madame
Fifine takes with ray sister's hats

THE TANTOS BRAND.

A Higb-Grade Nickel Porto Rican Cigar.

The Tantos, whose introduction
to the trade of Boston by the S. S.
Pierce Co., was noted in The To-
bacco World last week, is a high
grade nickel Porto Rican cigar
manufactured at Caguas, P. R , by
the Compania Comercial de Caguas,
in which M. Sola e Hijos have re
cently become interested, for which
distributers aie desired in territory
not yet assigned. Capt. M. E.
Flaherty, of New York, is the sole
agent for the Tantos brand in the
United States and Canada.

The day of the cheap Porto Rican

cigar appears to have come to a
close but an appreciation of the
fact that of high grade nickel cigars
the American public can never get
enough leads the manufacturers of
the Tantos brand to believe that the
consumption of this cigar will
spread immediately upon its intro-
duction. It is put up in all sizes
and M. Sola e Hijos guarantee that
it is made by the best skilled labor
out of the choicest tobaccos grown
in Porto Rico. Tantos is a Spanish
word meaning "so many." The
label in brown and gold is unusually
artistic.

Carl Rosenwald heaves Us.
Carl Rosenwald, of E. Rosenwald
& Bro., sailed for a lengthened stay

health on the Kronprinz Wilhelm
on October 21.

— Newman & Ullman of Peoria,

Philadelphia Hstablishment
Raided.

The cigar and tobacco establish-
ment of H. Steinberg at Second and
Vine streets was raided by Internal
Revenue officials on Tuesday morn-
ing. The proprietor was arrested
in the afternoon and held under bail
for a hearing to-day.

He is charged with a violation of
the Internal Revenue laws by hav-
ing in his possession 10,000 cigars,
5,000 cigarettes and 200 pounds of
tobacco, all alleged to be contra-
band goods, and which were seized.
The stock seized is valued at $ i ,000,
and was removed to the Federal
building at Ninth and Chestnut
streets, where it was stowed away
to be used as evidence against
him at the hearing before Commis-
sioner Craig this afternoon.

He is declared to have been le-
gally out of business since April,
1902, previous to which time, how-
ever, he was regularly registered.
He recently established himself in
business at 1631 Ridge ave., form-
erly occupied by R. H. Bentz.

Announcement

When the alterations now being made In the store on the corner
of 26th Street and Broadway, New York, are completed, it will be the
FINEST STORE IN THE WORLD. There is an appropriate reason
why it should be, as this store has been planned and arranged to
provide for the exhibition and sale of the world's best cigars, and
there is nothing worthier a suitable setting than the best brands of

Havana cigars.

Here will be sold the brands that have made Havana cigars
famous throughout the world, and in such unusual quantities that all
sizes, shapes and colors of these cigars can be seen and examined
without loss of time or convenience. Such an exhibition of Havana
cigars cannot fail to be exceedingly interesting to the public, and also
of great value in an educational way in providing the means of
becoming familiar with and of identifying genuine goods. It is also
of importance to demonstrate to the public what constitutes proper
condition for high grade Havana cigars, and for this reason a prom-
inent feature of this store is the humidor, which has been planned for
storage and exhibition of Havana cigars in individual boxes, original
cases, etc. This humidor will have a capacity for storing several
million Havana cigars, and keeping them in all seasons in perfect

condition.

The chief decorative feature of the store will be mural paintings,
unique in their originality of design. These paintings give to the
store the feeling and atmosphere of Cuba, as they constitute a pano-
rama of Cuban scenery of exceeding interest The "finish" of the
store throughout is of Italian white marble, including the great col-
umns, 17 feet high, quarried in Italy expressly for this use.

As we are not in the retail cigar business, we wish to rent this store to a retail dealer. About
November ist it will be open for one week to all who care to inspect it, and the following week sealed bids will
be received from any reliable firm or dealer desiring to lease this store for the purpose of a retail

cigar store.

For all particulars with reference to conditions for operating this store, apply to GEORGE M, GALES,

III Fifth Avenue, New York, N. V. The right to reject all bids is reserved.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
th^s maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

JBdward Neunian Dead.

Edward Neuman, of the cigar
manufacturing firm of Kreuger &
Neuman, Watertown, Wis , died at
his home in that city last week, at
the age of 55 years.

Deceased was born in Germany,
Feb. 19, 1847, came to Watertown
when thirteen years of age. He
has since resided in that city with
the exception of three years spent
in Minnesota.

Sued the Continental.

Joseph P. Whit well, tobacco job
ber, of St. Paul, Minn., has sued
the Continental Tobacco Company
for $840 damages under the Sher-
man law relating to combinations.

The plaintiff alleges that the de-
fendant refused to allot him $4,000
worth of plug tobacco. According
to the company's methods, he states,
a 2 per cent, discount of the retail
price is allowed jobbers and a 5 per

cent, allowance is made on the sale
of the entire amount allotted. He
thiTefore figures that he lost an
opportunity to make a profit of $^50
and he sues for the penalty provided
by the Sherman law, or three times
the amount of the loss

According to the plaintiff the
allotment was not made because he
would not take $8, coo worth of
goods He says that the system is
designed to prevent jobbers from
buying from the independent com-
panies. The suit is in the Federal
Court.

— A new corporation under the
name of the International Tobacco
Co., capital $500,000 has just been
formed at Portland, Me The ofl5-
cers are: Percy J. A. Lear of Bos
ton, Mass., president; Charles A.

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

Thit is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers. • It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be-
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,.
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and<

This is the Most Durable, Best

Five Cent Goods Unequaled for the Money.

Trade in Reading.

The various cigar factories of this
district are experiencing a big boom
the past month, and many are run-
ning overtime in order to get out
the orders which are rapidly com-
ing in. Many of the leading firms
are advertising for cigarmakers,
bunch breakers and strippers, but it
seems the supply to be had is not
half equal to the demand. One
prominent manufacturer stated that
he could use at least 40 to 50 good
first-class cigarmakers, but that he
is unable to get them. He is away
back in his orders and may be com-
pelled to seek help elsewhere. Many
of the dealers are happy that the

is easy, and business, barring the
lines affected by the coal famine, is
active and profitable, from my own
observation." Mr. Yocum booked
a large number of orders for the
leading brands made by his firm.
Their output will far exceed that of
last year.

One of the busiest cigar manu
facturers in Berks county is Harry
Gring, who conducts a large factory
at Fritztown. Last week he says
he received an order for a million
cigars, and he claims he could use
from 25 to 30 first- class employes in
his different departments. He makes
large daily shipments through the
west.

The New Wisconsin.

Frank Ruscher,of Ruscher& Co.,
the well known tobacco inspectors
of New York, returned on October
16 from a sampling tour of Wiscon-
sin. He is enthusiastic over the
1902 crop grown in the northern
part of the State, and says that the
crop of the entire State is propor-
tionately good.

"The best leaf grown in northern
Wisconsin this year," says Mr.
Ruscher, "is the finest Wisconsin I
havefever seen, and the quantity of
the very finest is surprisingly large.
I do not hesitate to say that the
packings of E. Rosenwald & Bro. ,
Weil & Sons, the American Cigar
Co., and the United Cigar Manu
facturers are among the finest Wis-
consin ever raised. These concerns
have already picked the cream, and

I understand the total quantity al-
ready secured by these and other
early birds is almost 75,000 cases.
The total crop of the State this year
is about 200,000 cases. The weather
in northern Wisconsin for the week
ending October 11 was ideal, and
has done away with all fear of pole
sweat,"

Latest News from York, Pa»

York, Pa.. Oct. 19, 1902.

The leaf tobacco dealers in York
county say that the sampling of the
new crop is about over, and the
amount of damaged leaf found is
below the average. The past week
has been a quiet one, but the out-
look is bright and encouraging for
a brisk fall and winter trade. There
is little buying of the new crop just
now, as the buyers are out scouting
for the pick of the best leaf. Prices
at present are steady.

The cigar box manufacturers in
York and Dallastown report that
they are unusually busy. Most of
the factories are rushed with orders
for the holiday goods and sample
boxes. Some very neat and attrac-
tive boxes are being made for the
holidays, which will surely catch
the eye of the Chistmas shoppers.

These are prosperous days for the
cigar manufacturers of York county.
Almost every factory in this section
is running to its fullest capacity , and
orders still continue to arrive with
every mail. The demand for York

county cigars is unprecedented, and
the output is limited because of the
inability of manufacturers to supply
the demands made upon them. One
of the great drawbacks to manufac-
turers is the scarcity of cigarmakers.
At present most of the factories are
turning out goods for the Christmas
holiday trade. The salesmen on the
road say they have little trouble to
get orders these days, but their
greatest difficulty is to get the goods
delivered on time to customers.

The La Buta Cigar Company, of
this city, is one of the busiest cigar
factories in this section. This firm
makes the high grade Hannibal
Hamlin cigar, and is now advertis-
ing for fifty cigarmakers.

The Keystone Cheroot Company,
of Hanover, which has been handi-
capped in the output of its product
by the want of greater manufactur-
ing facilities, has secured the old
shoe factory building in Hanover,
which will be used as a factory in
addition to the one now in opera-
tion in that borough and that in
Gettysburg. The shoe factory build-
ing is now being remodeled and
fitted up with the latest improved
machinery for manufacturing che-
roots. The new plant will be put
in operation about November ist,
and will give employment to 100
additional hands.

Sebastian Mayer, of the firm of
Mayer Brothers, cigar box manu-
facturers, has purchased the prop-
erty of Edward Reeves, deceased,
on South Queen street, this city.
Mr. Mayer intends to remodel the
property for business purposes.

Samuel Bievenour, of this city,
employed at the York cheroot fac-
tory, had two fingers of his left
hand cut off by a tobacco cutter last
Tuesday afternoon.

J. H. Stiles, the well-known leaf
tobacco packer, has awarded the
contract for his new warehouse on
North Court alley, this city, to C.
Edward Hautz. The entire build-

ing will be heated by the York
Steam Heating Company.

The Winget Machine Company is
now settled in its new quarters
Cherry and Gay alleys. Orders for
bunching machines and cigar
molds continue to come in with
every mail. So great is the demand
for their goods that the firm is
obliged to advertise for cigar molds
in order to supply their customers'
wants. Their entire stock was con-
sumed by fire recently.

The cigar dealers in York are al-
ready preparing for the holiday
trade. Some of them have placed
orders with cigar manufacturers for
special brands of high grade cigars,
and ordered neat and attractive
boxes. Young & Busey, one of the
leading retail firms in this city, ex-
pect to show some very fine goods
in a few weeks.

The Porto Rico Cigar Company,
of Red Lion, has secured a trade
mark register for their Flor de Royal
Crooks and Porto Rico Twins
brands of nickel cigars.

Charles F. Stallman & Co., job-
bers, of this city, report business as
being on the increase. The firm
has made some large shipments of
cigars during the past few weeks.

— The firm of Guinan & Bestman,
Manistique, Mich., has been dis-
solved by mutual consent, Mr. Best-
man retiring.

We hear of sales in Connecticut
as well as in Massachusetts, and at
very fair prices, with a tendency to
advance very considerably. Occa-
sionally a man has a bad crop, or it
is below the desired quality, andhe
gets a fair offer for it, and accepts
it. But this is no reason why the
grower who has a superior crop of
real Boston lights should sell his
from 15 to 20 cents when he knows
that all of his light wrappers are

seconds and binders from 15 to 28
cents. So we often hear of the crop
being sold at 25 to 30 cents. We
have a large crop of sound leaf free
from all damage, if we except a por-
tion of the latest harvested, where
we fear will be found some pole-
burn. The early crops are being
taken down and stripped, where
buildings were used for hanging
that are wanted for other purposes.

Our correspondents write :

Wethersfield, Conn.: "Tobacco
news is pretty dull just now. It
seems to be curing down of good
color, and with the bright weather
of the last few days ought to come
out all right."

Glastonbury, Conn.: "There have
been a few sales here of late. Among
them, the Messrs. Bantlessold their
crops, and Mr. Phelps sold; the
price reported was 22 cents in the
bundle. These were good crops,
sound and free from damage."

East Hartford: "There has been
sold a very considerable part of
Connecticut seed leaf, and prices
have ranged from 20 to 25 cents.
We hear of the sale of many crops
at South Windsor and Poquonock. ' '

North Hadley: "There has been
but few sales here, as yet. Unless
the buyer is pretty well known for
fair dealing, the growers are slow
to make prices for their goods."

North Hatfield: "Some of the
early- cut pieces are ready to be
taken down, and a few are stripping
to see how it runs. A good many
had a hard time to find places where
to bestow their crops, as so used
places are now wanted for their
legitimate use. It is pleasant work
to handle a crop when there are no
outs."

Montague: "The crop is curing
down well, and is in every way a
satisfactory one. I don't hear of
any sales."

Southampton: "We never grew
a better crop than our present one.
It is fine, sound and of an excellent
color. Dealers have been looking
anxiously to find some fault. We
hope to sell when the goods are
ready . ' ' — American Cultivator.

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
No sales by the growers have
been reported during the last week.
Julius Marquisee of New York has
been registered at the Riverside.
Mr. Marquisee was one of the buyers
of the J.W. Upson packings, part of
which have been sold this week.
About 900 cases were sold. Among
the other purchasers were Frank
Moulton of Cicero, C. R. Northrop
of Lysander, and Dembo & Ras-
kins of Syracuse. — Gazette.

HDGERTON, WIS.

The buying of the new crop has
been as actively carried on in most
sections during the past week as
any time since the market opened.
The American Cigar Co's. buyers
are out in full force and some of
the belated packers are doing some
hustling, making a lively week in
southern growing districts. The
chase has been so warm in some
instances as to show a considerable
advance in price. The disposition
is now present to clean up the crop
in short order.

The market for old leaf has a
slightly better tone, but inquiries
are for 1900 stock mainly of which
a few sales are recorded. L. B.
Carle & Son have disposed of a
couple of carloads. A good deal of
sampling of the 1901 has been done
but no sales of packings are re*
ported.

The weather of the week has been
suitable for the further curing of
the crop which is now pretty well
secure from a heavy freeze. Much
of the early harvested will be ready
to strip soon.

You undoubtedly consider yourself a pro-
gressive and enterprising cigar manufacturer and
as such we direct this advertisement directly
at your head.

We have been telling you considerable
about the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

We have heard from a great many cigar
manufacturers and are placing these tables at a
gratifying rate. If we haven't heard from you
— If you haven't taken
the pains to find out all
about this new table,
doesn't it strike you
that it is about time
you did ?

We offer this table
to you solely on its
merits — what it can do
and is doing, not what
we or anybody else
says.

This table wherever
installed proves abso-
lutely that it results in a
better product, turned out
in less time and at less
cost.

Now, here are some
of the most important

things in the cigar

making industry — quality — economy — speed.

The DuBrul Dieless Suction Table, therefore,
becomes one of the prime requisites of a pro-
gressive business.

It needs no argument to show that a sharp
circular knife can cut a better wrapper than a
die, which is more or less dull, no matter how
careful you are.

It needs no argument to show that an

operator can roll upon an open space a better
cigar than could be done hampered by dies and
rollers and confused with different operations
of the feet, to say nothing of a complicated
mechanism to care for.

It needs no argument to show that the
elimination of dies, rollers and all other accom-
panying makeshift mechanical parts is a step
toward simplification which must me:in econo-
my of both time and
expense.

In no other way in
the world can \ou get
so perfect a wrapper, get
so many wrappers out
of the stock or get so
well made a cigar as l^y
the use of this table.

Now, if these things
are true, it must be
equally true that you

We stand ready to

All we ask is for an

opportunity to do this,

and it seems to us that we ought to have it.

It won't cost you much of anything to write

us a letter asking all the questions you want to

Our Own Correspondents.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY.

M. D. Boales.
Nothing oflfered publicly this
week. Sales are private at un-
changed prices. The stocks are
largely of Medium to Fine long,
leafy dark tobacco, of which but
a small percentage will be in the
new crop, and are held very firm at
prices within quotations.

Lugs-Com. 431^ to s%c\ Med., 5% to
5l<c; Good, sU to6Xc Fine,6X to 6^c

Leaf— Com., 6% to 7>4:c; Med., t% to
8^c;Good,8>^ to io>4c; Pine, 10 to I2>ic.

Spinning Leaf, 7 to loc; Cigar Wrap-
pers,8 to iic; Plug Wrappers, 9 to I2^c.

This years crop is estimated at
one third to three quarters of an
acreage in quality and quantity.
Planters are expecting higher prices
than last year on account of short-
age. Those engaged examining the
crop in the barns think movement
will be rapid when market opens,
and that prices will be satisfactory.

CLARKSVILLE, TENN.

M. H. Clark & Bro.
Our receipts this week were 6 hhds;
offerings on the breaks, 51 hhds; sales,
211 hhds.

The quality of the leaf was gen-
erally very good, but will soon fall
off again. Dealers desire to close
out stocks before commencing the
new season and are offering more
freely .

Warehouse stocks will show full
reduction at close of the month.

The light frosts of September 13
and 14 were repeated on the 13th
and 14th insts. , but again no damage
was done. The whole crop has now
left the field and gone into winter
quarters.

Planters hope for large prices for
their small crop

THE CASE AGAINST THETRUST.

(Continued from page 7)
its common stock, now can stand
good for all the monetary losses en
tailed by its reckless and unlawful
efforts to control the cigar business!
Time does not permit more than
a few details in respect to the con-
duct of its business at the present
day. Regarding that branch of the
trade in which it has an entire mo
nopoly, it buys its material from the
farmer only at such prices as it is
willing to pay. There is no more
competition in the cigarette or plug
business. The farmers in Virginia
and Kentucky must sell at the prices '
which the company dictates.

In other branches it buys of the
farmer at exaggerated prices in or- ;
der to put the goods beyond the !
reach of the wholesale jobber and
the manufacturers not yet within its
borders. This is done so that no
manufacturer can subsist and pay •
the prices for his raw material Of
course, when once in control of this
branch of the business, it will pay
the farmer what it pleases. And
so again in another department of
its business. Its policy is to drive
out of business the large number of
retailers, big and little, that have
contributed their mite to the welfare
of this land. A retailer by dint of
hard work establishes a successful
business. The company becomes
envious of his success and ap-
proaches him for the purpose of,
buying out his business The re- 1
tailer protests. It is his livelihood.
He knows no other vocation. With
out this means his family will suf-
fer; new hardships will confront
him. He is facing ruination, and
so against his will he sells out his
business. In the string of stores
prices have been placed upon staple
articles either at or below cost, with
the intent that every retailer not
within its fold will eventually be
driven out of the business. Of
course, the consumer will then be
at the mercy of the company.

Throughout the course of this
company, its one purpose is to pre-
vent trade in all of the branches of
the tobacco business. It is the in-
jury to this trade, which is unlaw-
fully accomplished, in respect to

which faalt is found. Here is a
vivid example of the havoc created
by a combination in restraint ol
trade. Commerce is the interchange
ot commodities. There can be no
commerce without competition —
Without commerce there can be no
nation. All artificial efforts to re
press competition have injurious ef
tects. The injury from which we
demand relief is an injury not only
to the tobacco world, which is iu a
state of peril, but to the public.
Competition has been stifled. The
effect has been to create a monopoly
and to place the public at the mercy
of the monopoly. It is precisely a
combination presenting these con-
ditions which is prohibited by the
courts and by the legislatures; they
are forbidden solely for the purpose
of preserving competition, and
thereby as far as possible the free
dom of action in industrial and
commercial life. No more appro-
priate words can be found than were
used by the United States Supreme
Court very recently in applying the
anti-trust law. The suitability of
the language is remarkable, and it
is impossible to escape the conclu
sion that it was framed exactly to
meet a case of this kind :

"It is wholly different, however,
when such changes are effected by
combinations of capital, whose pur
pose for combining is to control the
production or manufacture of any
particular article in the market, and
by such control dictate the price
at which the article shall be sold,
the effect being to drive out of busi-
ness all the small dealers in the
commodity and to render the public
subject to the decision of the com
bination as to what price shall be
paid for the article. In this light it
is not material that the price of an
article may be lowered. It is in the
power of the combination to raise
it, and the result in any event is
unfortunate for the country by de-
priving it of the services of a large
number of small but independent
dealers who were familiar with the
business and who had spent their
lives in it, and who supported them
selves and their families from the
small profits realized therein
Whether they be able to find other
avenues to earn their livelihood is
not so material, because it is not
for the real prosperity of any coun-
try that such changes should occur
which result in transferring an in
dependent business man, the head
of his establishment, small though
it may be, into a mere servant or
agent of a corporation for selling the
commodities which he once manu
factured or dealt in, having no voice
in shaping the business policy of the
company and bound to obey orders
issued by others. Nor is it for the
substantial interest of the country
that any one commodity should be
within the sole power and subject
to the sole will of one powerful com
bination of capital. Congress has,
so far as its jurisdiction extends,
prohibited all contracts of combin-
ations in the form of trusts entered
into for the purpose of restraining
trade and commerce."

The foregoing facts present to
statesmen and politicians a condi-
tion, not a theory. Actions, not
words, are asked. Each party hav
ing elected from its ranks public

officials who have power, can now
demonstrate the earnestness and
sincerity of their pre election prom-
ises bv requiring these officials to
apply such remedies as the law now
affords Conclusive evidence for
such purposes will be furnished by
this Board to any such officials.
The law should also be amended in
this respect, that the company will
be compelled to submit its earnings
and its internal operations to the
light of day. A large proportion
of the people will determine how to
exercise their political franchise
depending upon the action of the
leading political parties relative to
the restraint to be placed upon this
unlawful combination.

are giving them a strong preference
over others.

Representatives of the Mack To-

market a new size (3 oz) package of

J. Alvarez & Co. have discon-

that all cigars so returned may be

'n exchange therefor; further, that
this slip advertised their business
alone. The question was simply
whether such slips could be placed
by a manufacturer of cigars in his
boxes. He was advised that the
circular does not advertise the busi-
ness or place of business of any
manufacturer of cigars, therefore it
should be excluded from the statu
tory boxes containing cigars, under
Regulations, No. 8, Supplement
No. 2, which allows a manufacturer
to place in such boxes small adver
tising cards or circulars as are in-
tended to advertise his business and
which concern the manufacture and
sale of his cigars and no other busi-
ness.

Mail Orders for Cigars.
A dealer in cigars advised that he
received orders by mail for cigars,
and asked whether he could deliver
the cigars by mail in unstamped
boxes. He was advised that all ci-
gars must be put up in boxes not
before used for that purpose, and
containing 12, 13, 25, 50 or 100 ci-
gars, and that every person who
sells, or offers for sale, or delivers,
or offers to deliver, any cigars in
any other form or who packs in any
box any cigars in excess of or less
than the number provided by law,
incurs a liability to both fine and
imprisonment, but that this section
was not construed as preventing the
sale and delivery of cigars over the
counter at retail from boxes that
had been packed, labeled, branded
and stamped in the manner pre
scribed by the law, and that all ci-
gars found in the mail not protected
by a proper stamp would be subject
to forfeiture, under Section 3398 of
the Revised Statutes.

Retail Sale of Snof .
In reply to an inquiry as to what
quantity of snuff may be retailed to
one purchaser from a 20 pound jar
duly stamped, the sale being made
by a manufacturer of snuff having a
retail department; also what limita
tion, if any, there is of the right to
retail from a stamped jar, the appli-
cant was advised that manufacturers
of snuff are authorized by law to put
up snuff in bladders and in jars con
taining not to exceed 20 pounds, in
addition to the smaller packages up
to 16 ounces, and that snuff, like
manufactured tobacco, shall not be
sold or offered for sale unless put up
in packages as above described, ex
cept at retail by retail dealers from
packages authorized by the Revised
Statutes. And, further, there is no
limitation as to the amount of snuff
that can be retailed to a consumer
by dealers from jars or bladders that
have been properly packed, labeled
and stamped before removal of the
snuff from the place of manufacture.

Emptied Snaf Packages.
In reply to a question whether it
would be permissible for a manufac-
turer to redeem emptied statutory
packages of snuff after they have
gone into the hands of consumers,
the snuff being packed in paper
packs, weasands, tin cans, glass
bottles, tumblers, etc., and whether
upon redeeming such emptied pack-
ages they could be reused for pack-
ing snuff, provided all evidence of
previous use had been removed from
the packages and entirely, effaced
attention was called to Section 3363,
Revised Statutes, which requires
that the caution notice label shall
distinctly state that "the manufac-
turer of this tobacco has complied
with all requirements of law. Every
person is cautioned under the penal-
ties of law not to use this package
for tobacco again;" and also to
Section 3376, Revised Statutes,
which imposes a penalty upon any
person who sells or gives away, or
who buys or accepts from another
any emptied stamped box, bag,
vessel, wrapper or envelope of any
kind, or the stamp or stamps taken
from any such empty box, bag,
vessel, wrapper or envelope, and,
further, that every manufacturer or
other person who puts tobacco or
snuff into any such box, bag, vessel,
wrapper or envelope, the same hav-
ing been emptied, or partially emp-
tied, will be subject to a fine and
imprisonment; therefore the oflSce
decided that any advertising scheme
which has for its purpose the return
to the manufacturer of the stamped
package would be in violation of
law, and any emptied package found
at the factory so branded, marked,
labeled or stamped as to show pre-
vious use would subject the manu-
facturer to the penalties prescribed
by the statute. Whenever any
stamped box, bag, vessel, wrapper
or envelope of any kind, contaming
tobacco or snuff, is emptied, the
statute requires that the stamp
thereon shall be destroyed by the
person who has possession, and
every person who wilfully neglects
to destroy the stamp will be subject
to a fine of $50 and imprisonment of
not less than ten days nor more
than six months, as provided by the
statute

Cash Prize Contest.
The Commissioner recently had
occasion to pass upon the case of a
large manufacturing firm, which
proposed to place a certificate in
each box of fifty cigars of a certain
brand, with the following statement
printed thereon:

"These certificates will be ac-
cepted by us for participation in our
cash prize contest. All certificates
must be returned not later than Jan-
uary 31, 1903, as the contest will
positively close on that day. The
person sending us the largest num-
ber of certificates before January 3 1 ,
1903, will receive the first prize of
$100; the person sending the next
largest number, $75; the person
sending the third largest number,
$50; the next five persons, $25
each; the next ten persons, $10
each; the next ten persons, I5 each;
making a total of twenty-eight
prizes, amounting to $500. We
will send each person competing for
the prize a list of prize winners.
Return the certificates in lots of
fifty or more, charges prepaid, to

. Be sure to write your name

and address on at least one of the
certificates of each lot returned, and
also your name on the outside of
the package. The result will be
made known just as soon as the
count can be made after the contest
closes."

In a letter to the collector in
charge of the district in which the
manufacturer is located the Com-
missioner says:

"This certificate anticipates the
distribution of certain cash prizes
depending upon the event of a lot-
tery or gift chance and would be in
violation of section 2 of the act of
July I, 1902. It is intended that
some of these certificates will draw
prizes, while others will be blanks,
and a time is fixed on which the
contest will take place. The person
sending the largest number of certi
ficates before January 31, 1903, re-
ceives a prize of $100 and the prizes
are graded according to the next
largest number of certificates until
the lowest prize is reached. The
certificate also states that a list of
winners will be sent to each person
competing for the prizes.

"Such certificates are prohibited
by the statute and any attempted
violation should be met with prompt
action by your office, seizing the
packages under Section 3456 of the
Revised Statutes."

The Bureau anticipates that a
question may be raised as to whether
if the contest above described is il-
legal, certain other contests, notably
those in which large prizes are
offered for guesses as to the number
of cigars produced during stated
periods, can be legally carried out

case which has just been adversely
ruled upon fhe manufacturers pro-
posed to place coupons relating to
the contest in statutory packages of
cigars, thereby bringing the matter
directly within the jurisdiction of
the Internal Revenue laws as found
in the act repealing section 10. In
the other contests referred to no
certificates are packed in the cigars
but bands, etc., upon which no
statements relating to the contest
are printed, are accepted as entitling
the parties sending them in to com-
pete for the prizes offered. So far
as the Internal Revenue Bureau is
concerned the contest is in no sense
based on any coupon, certificate, or
other token placed in the statutory
package.

The Post Office Department has
ruled that guessing contests similar
to those involving the number of ci-
gars produced in a certain period
are not lotteries for the reason that
good judgmentandacertain amount
of information are necessary to en-
able any person to approximate the
correct answer,

BY DIVERS HANDS

God, under whatever name wor-
shipped, has always been good to
those who love tobacco; or do I
think so, because I myself love it
and see everything through a nico-
tian mist? Who shall measure the
Immeasurable? Who shall describe
the Ineffable? Who place bounds
upon the Infinite? Yet these tasks
tempt me. Immeasurable are the
mounds of ashes, the clouds of
smoke, resulting from but one way
of consuming tobacco. Ineffable is
the bliss of the contented user of the
herb divine. Infinite his capacity
for enjoying it, and this immeasur-
ability, ineffability, infinity, being
human , may be measured , described ,
and have its limits defined.

Suppose we take one tiny speck
of earth — a Cuban tobacco planta-
tion— and view it from afar. Its
acres may be measured with a line
and compass in an hour, or less;
the sensations of the planter as he
smokes his morning, his afternoon
or his evening cigarro, are visible in
his face, so visible that even an in-
different painter might do them
justice; the hands and mouths into
which the cigars made from his to-
bacco are certain to go are not as
numerous as the sands of the sea,
but,calculable though they be, it will
take an infinity of inhalations and
exhalationsof breath to consume the
last morsel of all of them.

Or, take a still smaller spot, a
specklet on the Sahara desert, upon
which some pilgrim bound for Mecca
has paused beside his panting camel
to smoke his cigarette, or mayhap
the chibouque he has brought with
him. The immeasurable firmament
above him, the ineffable glory of
the sun, the infinity of sand on every
side of him, think you that his con-
templative brain fears to grapple
with these big words that, meaning
so very much, impress minds not
used to soaring upon clouds of to-
bacco smoke, as being without
meaning?
Or, to come much nearer home;

the silence that settles down upon
him with the deepening of the dusk
— think you this blest tobacco boy
is more callous to the solace his pipe
brings him than was the Cuban with
his cigar, or the Arab with his ci
garette or chibouque? Place, time,
ritual — these may differ, but the
charm that heaven sent tobacco ex-
erts is always the same and ever all-
powerful . The secret of the spell —
the chemical secret — was searched
out by learned men over two hun-
dred years ago in Germany, in

art of expression in written or i°
printed words is always being im-
proved and enlarged, and because, in
the second place, those who cater to

the tastes of tobacco users are irre-
vocably bent upon bettering their
product. This betterment is uni-
formly in the direction of a tempered
mildness, a mildness that is as far
from tastelessness as vigor is from
feebleness. It is not well to contend
with those who allege that tobacco
is a poison, a virulent poison, for
they are right, but we who love it

one's comic weekly about the vic-
tims of tobacco would be so many
genuine obituaries, most sad and
depressing to the reader. Yorick
was ever an honest lad. 'Tis well
his jests flow from a spirit enlight-
ened by mild and ever milder to-
bacco.

What is the aim of those enter-
prising gentlemen in New England,
in Pennsylvania, in Florida, in
Porto Rico, in Cuba, who are bring-
ing their tobacco to maturity under
the shelter of tents, but to produce a
something that shall yet more satis-
factorily meet the need of those
lovers of the cigar who insist upon
a delicate flavor? Of course, they
seek to produce handsome wrappers,
but in cigars, as we all well know,
beauty of appearance is most apt to
go with refinement of body. It is
matter for great thankfulness that
these experiments have already been
so successful as to justify us in ask-
ing where are the heavy cigars, and
also the heavy pipe tobaccos, our
grandfathers smoked in the thirties,
the forties, the fifties? And we may
go further, and ask what has be-
come of the black plug, the dosed
fine cut, of those same decades?
Where is the snuff that once upon a
time was said to kill those who took
it into their noses?

All, all are gone, gone with the
lack of knowledge that was respon-
sible for them.

We of the nineteenth and twen-
tieth centuries know vastly more
about tobacco than was known in
the eighteenth, or the seventeenth.
We burn incense to our god, but we
keep him well in hand. He is our
master, but he knows our numbers
and our strength, and he respects
them. He also takes a fatherly in-
terest in our studies of himself, and
year after year turns to us an ever
kindlier facet of his manysided
brilliance, so that every year our
task to give to a high-strung world
a milder and a bettercigar or cigar-
ette, a more toothsome plug, or a
more delicate snuff, becomes easier

and have given our lives to its ser : , , . . .

OCTOBER 29, iqo2.

Cigars tor all the World,
It has long been the dream and
the ambition of American cigar
manufacturers to make the world
their market. The scheme, in
times past, has engaged the atten-
tion of such bright and energetic
men as Eugene Vallens, the late
Michael Stachelberg, and others
equally well known and equally
enterprising, yet nothing has ever
come of it. This is not altogether
because the law governing the man-
ufacture of cigars for export is cum-
bersome and involved with ambig-
uities, although such are the facts
as to the law, but the indisposition
of American manufacturers to invest
capital largely in an undertaking
that theyjelt to be what insurance
people call "extra hazardous" had
most to do with their backwardness
in making the plunge.

There is not only no reason why
the United States should not man-
ufacture cigars for all the world,
but, on the contrary, there is every
reason why they should. Not only
is the manufacture of cigars, in all
its details best understood in the
United States, but labor is abundant
and easily trained here. American
manufacturers use cigar leaf not
only with moreeconomy than others,
but also with an ultra refined judg-
ment that Is the despair of others.
The remarkable growth in the
annual production of cigars in the
United States during the past five
years makes clear that the people
of this country are being educated
into so many devotees of the cigar
as against the cigarette and the pipe,
and the most glorious thing about
it all is that our producing capacity make

keeps pace with the extraordinary
demand. We are making t:igars
now at the rate of 7, oco, 000,000 a
year. There is no reason to fear
that we cannot make twice and
thrice that quantity, provided we
can create a demand for cigars in
other countries whose smokers are
at present addicted to cigarettes and
pipes. The cigar is, after all, the
best smoke in the sense that it is
more satisfying to healthy men,
more sightly, and more becoming.
Germany and Austria, it is true,
could make a large enough quantity
of cigars to supply their own people
and also those of other European
countries, but the cigar manufac-
turers of Germany and the regie of
Austria do not know nearly as
much about cigar leaf tobacco as
the American manufacturers know.
Those Americans who have smoked
cigars in Germany and Austria, or
have procured them from stewards
of German passenger ships, will
agree enthusiastically with this
statement. The Germans and Aus-
trians use a vast quantity of Mexi
can and Brazilian, as well as Ger-
man, Hungarian and Galician leaf,
in their cigars, but mighty little
Vuelta or Partidoor Remedies, and
scarcely any of the finer types of
Ohio, Wisconsin, New York State,
or New England. American man-
ufacturers, on the contrary, not only
utilize all these types — they blend
them, or some of them, with the
finest judgment, and out of a given
quantity of tobacco can turn out
more cigars then any other manu-
facturers on earth. Those who are
posted say, for instance, that a
competent American cigar manu-
facturer will get 4.500 cigars out of
a mixed bale of Vueltas, whereas
the best that a Cuban can do is to
get 3,000 out of a like bale.

A leaf importer who is in thorough
sympathy with all of the foregoing,
and who, in former years, was both
a cigar manufacturer and a cigar
salesman, says that the one great
obstacle in the way of the American
who would manufacture cigars for
export is the tarifi.

"The tariff" on leaf tobacco and
on cigars," he says, "is the one
tariff which in my judgment, has
not helped the American cigar man-
ufacturer. Our clear Havana cigar
industry would have been larger
than it is to day if there had been
no duty on cigars. With the abund-
ance of labor at our command, and
our thorough knowledge of how to
cigars more economically

Box Stuffing in Manila,

The following interesting box
story is from the Manila Weekly
American of August 29, last:

Hospital Steward A. Anderson,
U. S. Army, was arrested at the
First Reserve Hospital yesterday
morning by detectives from the
Parian Street police station, and
locked in a cell at that station. He
is charged with fraud. Anderson
is accused of working one of the
smoothestgamesof graft that Manila
has gone against for a long, long
time, and when the fact is con
sidered that Manila is a town where
there seems plenty of opportunity,
it will be realized that Steward
Anderson has been working some
thing real slick.

Several weeks ago Captain Ward
P. Shattuck, of the Police Depart
ment, on one of his rounds of in
spection, noticed a box of cigars in
a native tienda, that did not look
right. He examined the box care-
fully and decided that someone had
filled an empty Germinal cigar box
with an inferior grade of tobacco.
He said nothing, but began a quiet
investigation. He found that the
city was being flooded with low
grade cigars, put up in boxes bear-
ing the labels and trade-marks of
the Germinal, Insular, Alambra,
and other well known factories. He
then began a search for the person
or persons who were putting these
bogus goods on the market. Several
Chino peddlers were arrested. All
of them claimed that they got the
goods from a man who ran a shop
near the First Reserve Hospital.
Further investigation brought out
the fact that this shop was located
near Calle San Marcelino, in Paco.
A watch was put upon the place,
and it was found that about twenty
workmen were kept busy making
the cigars. They were being sold
by the thousands to Chinos, natives,
hotels, clubs and cafes.

On yesterday Captain Shattuck
decided that he had enough evi-
dence against Anderson to warrant
him making an arrest. He ordered
Anderson arrested, and the officers
found their man at the First Reserve
Hospital. At first Anderson denied
knowing anything about the cigar ,

business. He even said that he was
not a soldier, but simply an attache
at the hospital. He soon weakened,
and while he did not talk freely, he
said that he had the workmen busy
making the cigars to be sold to
patients in the hospital only, and
that he had put the product of his
shop in all sorts of boxes simply to
save the expense of purchasing new
boxes. He said that he did not
know it was necessary to use new
boxes, but he failed to explain why
he had a lot of counterfeit revenue
stamps in his possession, and why
every box of the confiscated cigars
bore these stamps.

When Captain Shattuck 's men
swooped down on the counterfeit
cigar factory they found several
hundred boxes of cigars, and an
immense quantity of tobacco leaf
and fillers. Everything was wrap-
ped up in government shelter tents
These tents were marked "Com
pany F, 9th Infantry." Anderson
was asked how he came in posses-
sion of these tents. He said that
they had been condemned. He was
unable to show the officers the "I.
C." mark of the Inspector General's
Department, and he will also have
a hard time in explaining what
business he had with government
property, even if it had been con-
demned.

Captain Shattuck sent for repre-
sentatives of the leading cigar fac
tories yesterday to come to Parian
station to examine the confiscated
property. Senor L- M. Heras, of
the Germinal factory, and Dr. Re-
cardo Pano, of La Insular factory,
stated that the tobacco was of the
very poorest quality that could be
purchased, and that many of the
boxes in which the cigars were con-
tained had originally come from
their factories.

Anderson will be arraigned before
Judge Odling this morning, charged
with fraud. A complaint was filed
against him yesterday afternoon by
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney H.
D Gale.

The Tobacco Parliament.

Stockton, Cai.., October 16. 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

Was ♦^here ever really a tobacco
parliament? Studiosus.

Answer

The tobacco Parliament concern
ing which my correspondent asks
was the so called Tabaks Collegium
Friedrich Wilhelm I. of Prussia.
It was a sort of smoking club, "af-
fording him," says Carlyle, "in a
rough, natural way, the uses of a
Parliament — a Parliament reduced
to its simplest expression, and in-
stead of parliamentary eloquence,
provided with Dutch clay pipes and
tobacco." Tabagies were not un-
common among German sovereigns
of that epoch. George I., at Han
over, had his smoking-room, and
select smoking party on an evening,
andeven in London smoked nightly,
wetting his royal throat with thin
beer. Friedrich Wilhelm was a man
of habitudes; his evening Tabagie
became a law of nature to him, and
finding that it would serve in such
a capacity, he turned it into a polit-
ical institution. A smoking room,
with wooden furniture, was set
apart in each of his Majesty's royal
palaces, for this evening service,
and became the Tabagie of his
Majesty. Carlyle has described in
his picturesque manner, "a high
large room, contented saturnine
human figures, a dozen or so of
them, sitting around a large long
table, furnished for the occasion,
long Dutch pipes in the mouth of
each man, supplies of knaster easily
accessible, small pan of burning
peat, in the Dutch fashion is at your
left hand; at your right a jug,

which I find to consist of excellent
thin bitter beer. Other costlier
materials for drinking, if you want
such, are not beyond reach. On
side-tables stand wholesome cold
meats, royal rounds of beef not
wanting, with bread thinly sliced
and buttered; in a rustic, but neat
and abundant way, such innocent
accommodations, narcotic or nutri-
tious, gaseous, fluid and solid, as
human naiure, bent on contempla-
tion and an evening lounge, can re-
quire. Perfect equality is to be the
rule, no rising, or notice taken,
when anybody enters or leaves
I>t the entering man take his place
and pipe, without obligatory re
marks; if he cannot smoke, which
is Seekendorf's case for instance,
let him at least affect to do so, and
not ruffle the established stream of
things. And so, Puff, slowly Puff!"
Sometimes in this large room, and
oftener in the open air on the steps
of a fountain, the smoking session
was held. Seated, canvas screened,
the King smoked there with select
friends, and chatted discursively till
bedtime.

Dear Medicine Man:

What writer was it who first said
that no one enjoyed a smoke in the
dark? Leroy Comins.

Answer

severe in well doings nor do they
seem to dread their want of respect
for all sacred objects.

'Thus it is that being wishful,
and in our anxiety to remove so
scandalous an abuse from the
temples of God, by virtue of our
Apostolic authority and by the
tenor of these presents, we interdict
and forbid all generally and each
one in particular, persons of either
sex, seculars, ecclesiastics, every
religious order, and all those form-
ing a portion of any religious insti-
tution whatsoever to take tobacco
in the future in the porches or in
teriors of the churches, whether by
chewing, smoking or inhaling it in
the form of powder, in short to use
it in any shape or form whatsoever.
If any one contravene these pro
visions, let him be excommuni-
cated." The Medicine Man.

As to Mr. Ottenberg's Paper.

The paper on cigar manufactory
bookkeeping, by Mr. Henry N. Ot-
tenberg, which is published in this
issue of The Tobacco World, is ad-
mirably clear. At the same time,
those who study it with the purpose
of rounding out their knowledge of
the subject, are counseled to do so
with the open internal revenue books
before them. In this way they will
the more certainly and readily mas-
ter the subject.

Pope Urban' s Bull Against
Tobacco.

Following is an answer to a
question by a St. John's College
boy. In 1642, Pope Urban VIII.
promulgated the following Bull:

"Our temples, by virtue of the
divine sacrifice which is celebrated
in them, are called houses of prayer;
they must therefore be held in the
greatest respect. Having received
from God the sure keeping of all the
churches in the Catholic world, it is
our duty to banish every profaneand
indecent act from these churches.
We have recently learned that the
bad habit of taking the herb com-
monly called tobacco, by the mouth
or nose, has spread to such a degree
in some dioceses that persons of
both sexes, even the priests and
clerks, both secular and regular, for-
getting that decorum which is due
to their rank, take tobacco every-
where, principally in the churches
of the town and diocese of Seville;
nay, even — and we blush for very
shame — whilst celebrating the most
holy sacrifice of the mass. They
soil the sacred linen with the dis
gusting humours provoked by to-
bacco, they poison our temples with
a repulsive odonr, to the great
scandal of their brethren who per-

Wottld Like > Conceited Plin of Action
Against the Trost.

The following call is being sent
out to cigar manufacturers all over
the United States by the Universal
Tobacco Co:

New York, Oct. 23, 1902.

Dear Sir: — We believe it to be
for the best interests of the inde-
pendentmanufacturers of the United
States to have some concerted plan
of action for protection of their busi-
ness against the methods of the To-
bacco Trust.

There is no question in our minds,
and we believe there is none in
yours, but that with fair competi-
tion the business of every independ-
ent manufacturer would increase
enormously.

We believe, and have been as-
sured by our attorneys, that there
is no question that if the restric-
tions and methods used to prevent
jobbers and retailers from using in
dependent goods are exposed and
prosecuted in court or presented to
the legislatures of the various States
fair competition can be assured.

Believing this, and in order to
consider what is for the best inter
ests of us all, would you please in-
form us if you would attend a con-
vention to be called for some central
point (Chicago is suggested, but
this will be determined by the ma-
jority of the manufacturers) and if
you would consent to have your
name, with ours and others, at-
tached to such a call.

Yours very truly,

Universal Tobacco Company.

554,312,170

If the production of cigars during
next December is 75,000,000 more
than the production in December,
1901, then the total production in
December, 1902, should be some-
thing like 554.312,170. which is
just what those who will send in
estimates of the December, 1902,
production under the Florodora
Tag Company's prize oflFer want to
know. The increase in cigar pro-
duction each month for the past
four months has been at the rate of
75,000,000 over the production dur-
ing the same months in 1901.

New American Cigar Co.
Factories.

The American Cigar Co. has
recently opened cigar factories at
the following named places: Peters-
burg, Va., Greensboro, N. C,
Lynchburg, Va., Evansville, Ind.,
and Newark, N. J.

The company is now said to be
manufacturing cigars at the rate of
1,200,000,000 a year.

I. J. Scboener & Co's Pros-
perous Year.

The present has been the most
prosperous year in the history of
the hustling and popular leaf firm
of I. J. Schoener & Co., of New
York. Mr. Jacoby, the junior mem-
ber of the firm, attributes it all to
the fact that the firm has had a
large and varied stock of excellent
leaf to offer to its trade, and it has
spared no efforts to reach and to
please its customers.

I. J. Schoener is at present mak-
ing a trip through New York State,
while M. Banml is calling on his
many customers in Pennsylvania.

J. B. Cobb, President of the
American Cigar Co., returned from
England on the Celtic on October
26. He was accompanied by his
family.

A Pinkerton Snuff Story.

Robert Pinkerton tells a story of
his father, the founder of the detect-
ive agency, which illustrates the
elder Pinker ton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained in Pinkerton 's
Chicago office. The elder Pinker-
ton left the room and when he re-
turned took the precaution of hold-
ing a revolver in front of him ready
for use.

He saw the criminal standing by
the door with a snuff box he had
picked up from Pinkerton 's desk in
his hand.

"This is very good snuff," affa-
bly remarked the crook, as he took
a sniff.

' ' For the eyes or the nose ?" asked
Pin-kerton , who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an
effort to escape.

"Well," remarked the criminal,
"I'm sorry to say that the nose gets
it this time."— New York Times.

An Animated Market in
Havana.

More animation has been notice-
able in the market during the week
ended October i8, and the volume
of sales increased again, so that 6,-
ooo bales were the result of the
transactions completed, which could
be approximately divided into one-
third of Vuelta Abajo, one- third
Partidos and one-third Remedios,
the latter including new and old
crops. As to countries, however,
the United States again rank first,
taking 50 per cent, more than Hav-
ana cigar and cigarette manufac-
turers and Europe combined, or say
3.600 bales, while Havana and
Europe each took 1,200 bales.
Prices remain very firm; good old
Remedios are beginning to attract
more attention and prime escojidas
are willingly conceded liberal
figures. It remains to be seen,
whether the better feeling now ex-
isting will become more pronounced
still with the advancing season.
The 1903 Crop.
There have been more reports of
damage done by excessive rains
from various sections of the Vuelta
Abajo and Partido, and even if
these reports be exaggerated to some
extent there is no doubt that many
of the plantings have been ruined by
too much rain, and the fields need
to be plowed over and replanted
just as soon as the rains cease. To
get at the exact extent of the losses
suffered by the vegueros is extremely
difl5cult, as the island of Cuba is
not blessed with such a painstaking
Agricultural Bureau as the United
States possesses, and where the
study of the growing harvests all
over the country is carefully noted
and put down in figures and com-
pared with previous years, thus giv-
ing the commercial classes an op-
portunity to judge correctly of what
may be coming, in advance of the
actual harvest. The Agricultural
Department publishes weekly re-
ports in the Island of Cuba, since
the Americans inaugurated the sys-
tem, still the new department is yet
in its infancy, and as the reports
speak more in general terms it is
not possible to form a reliable esti-
mate beforehand. Besides, every-
thing will depend upon the weather
yet to come. If the heavy rains
continue and should spread over all
sections more damage is sure to
follow, while on the other hand
cooler and dry weather would ma-
terially help to mature the uninjured
fields and enable the vegueros to
get actively to work and transplant

or re- plant what needs to be done.
Luckily so far the seedlings in the
hills have suflfered less, and they
are said to be still plentiful and
prices are ruling moderately low,
therefore this helps to mitigate the
evil done to some extent, and as all
plants set out before middle of No-
vember may produce a temprano
crop, there is yet time to spare.
Arrivals In Havana.
Don Bruno Diaz returned to his
Havana residence after his short
trip to New York. From Chicago
two cigar manufacturers, M. Weng-
ler, of Wengler & Mendel, and B.
Spector, of Spector Bros., have ar-
rived. From New York Don Ri-
cardo A. Bachia, of "Ruy Lopez"
fame, and E. P. Cordero.
Departures.
Mortimer Regensburg, Gabriel
Balbin, Ferdinand Oppenheimer,
Avelino Pazos, Alfredo Ettlinger,
and Joseph Mendlesohn returned to
their New York homes, while W.
S. Lightbourne left for Key West,
and Wm. Taussig, E. Wedeles and
W. H. R. Crump were bound for
Chicago. Don Jose Suarez, "El
Mocho," sailed on the French liner
La Navarre for Spain, to take a
needed rest and recreation from his
arduous duties this past summer.
Obituary
The sudden death of Don Seg-
undo Alvarez ,ex- Mayor of Havana,
and President of various Spanish
societies, as well as an almacenista
in leaf tobacco under the firm name
of Segundo Alvarez & Co. , has been
universally deplored. There never
has been in Havana a larger funeral
of a private citizen, thus showing
the universal esteem in which he
was held. His sons, who own the
cigar factory of i^egundo Alvarez &
Co., with their well-known brands
of Flor El Todo and Lord Beacons-
field, will also continue the leaf
business of their late father.

Havana Cl^ar Factories.
The Henry Clay and Bock & Co.
Ltd. claims to have as many orders
as it ever had before at this time of
the year, and most factories report
an equally gratitying state of affairs
although a few are still hampered by
the uncured condition of the leaf,
which prevents them from working
as much as they would like to, par-
ticularly as the humid atmosphere
retarded instead of forwarding the
condition of the new tobacco, and
also kept the fillers for the cigar-
makers in too moist a condition to
be workable. The exports of cigars
by the Mexico were only a trifle
over 3,600,000. H. Upmann & Co.

tation of being an excellent smoke.
Don Carlos Behrens says that the
cigars made out of the famous vega
of San Juan y Martinez, La Dami
ana, and which they had packed for
their factory, are giving universal
satisfaction and orders are pouring
in for them.

Mortimer Regensburg, just pre
vious to his departure, purchased
some 246 bales of Vuelta Abajo,
extra fine fillers, and 176 bales of
Partido wrappers. Don Gabriel
Balbin purchased 100 bales more of
a choice Vuelta Abajo factory vega.

B. Specter, of Spector Bros.,
Chicago, just arrived, makes the
statement that his intention is to
purchase largely of this year's crop,
naturally selecting only the best leaf
grown in the Vuelta Abajo and
Partido districts, in order to keep
up the ever increasing demand for
his clear Havana cigars, which he
is determined shall be maintained in
the future. As Don Leslie Pantin
is doing his business in Havana,
there is no doubt that Mr. Spector
will be able to find what he is look-
ing for in the Havana market.

One Hundred New York Retailers Declare War.

Whbrbas, a corporation doing
business as retail cigar dealers
has adopted methods which
threaten to drive the individual
dealer out of business, and

WhbREAS, with the backing of
the American Tobacco Com-
pany, one of the strongest con-
stituents of the Tobacco Trust,
this corporation seeks to obtain
control of desirable locations,
o£fering for leases much more
than the individual dealer who
has built up a profitable trade
can afiford, and

Whereas, failing in this, it is the
plan of this corporation to lease
a store next door to the indi
vidual dealer, and, by oflfering
inferior goods at a low price,
deprive him of his partrons
and thus ruin his business,
therefore be it

RBSOLVED, that the retail dealers
of this city indignantly de-
nounce the underhand practices
of this corporation whose only
object is to destroy competi
tion and to force its trust's
goods on the public, and further
be it

Resolved, that the chairman ap-
point a committee of ten, of
which he shall be ex- officio a
member, to devise means to

battle against this corporation
whose success in this and other
cities means the loss of a liveli-
hood to tens of thousands of
individual dealers all over the
country.

The foregoing set of resolutions,
aimed at the United Cigar Stores
Company, was adopted at a mass-
meeting of retail cigar dealers of
Greater New York, held in the
theatre of Bohemian Hall, 73d
street, between Second and First
avenues, on the evening of October
24. The committee of ten appointed
by the chairman consists of Julius
Kamsler, T. J. Donigan, Bernard
Kreiser, Isidore Ashner, S. C.
Marum, Julius Blankenstein, Her-
man Weiss, Louis Stream, Julius
Bernheimer and J. Liebman.

At 9 o'clock, when the meeting
was called to order by R. E. Lane,
every seat was occupied. The
theatre will seat about 300 people.
Fully 250 of those present were re
tail cigar dealers of New York city
and Brooklyn. Besides these, a
delegation from the New York Leaf
Tobacco Board of Trade, namely
Abraham Bijur, Ferdinand Cranz

Latest News JProm York, Pa.

York, Pa.. Oct. 27, 1902.
In leaf tobacco circles the past
week has been one of moderate
trade. No very large sales were
reported, but a number of lesser
transactions were put on record, the
whole summing up an average
volume of trade. One of the largest
transactions during the week was
consummated by R. D. Zech, buy-
ing agent for S. L. Johns, who re-
ceived 55,000 pounds of leaf tobacco
at York and Muddy Creek Forks
The tobacco was grown in York
county and is pronounced to be of
fine quality. Mr. Zech is now en-
gaged in packing, and in a few days
will ship 340 cases to a western
firm. S. L. Johns, the largest
packer of leaf tobacco in this section
of the country, has just sampled and
has ready for sale 6,000 cases of 190 1
Pennsylvania leaf and 4 000 cases
Zimmer, Gebhard and Dutch leaf
The 1902 tobacco is curing up to
the expectations of the growers
Much of the early harvested will be
ready to strip soon. Those engaged
in examining the crop think the
movement will be rapid when the
market opens and that prices will be
satisfactory. Reports from Winters
town are to the efiect that nearly all
of this season '8 crop has already been
sold at a fair price.

Never in the history of the cigar

making business in York county has

trade been so brisk as at present.

Orders for cigars are so numerous {

in the various factories throughout .

the county that they cannot be filled

as rapidly as desired. All the large

factories in this city are working

full-handed and would put on extra

cigarmakers if they could get them

In Dallastown and Red Lion most

of the manufacturers have resorted

to night work in order to keep pace

with the demands, and a few of

them have raised the prices per

hundred for making cigars, in order

to induce the cigarmakers to work

faster.

One of the largest shipments of

cigar molds and bunching machines
ever made in this section was filled
last week by the Winget Machine
Company, of this city. The order
was from the Keystone Cheroot
Company, of Hanover, and included
1 ,000 cigar molds and the new Key-
stone power bunchers.

The Secretary of the Common-
wealth has granted a charter to the
Weaver Tobacco Company of this
city. The firm is composed of
Catharine I Weaver, Jacob E.
Weaver and J. George Schneider,
all residents of York. The capital-
ization of the company is $1,000.
Mr. Schneider is treasurer. The
purpose of the company is the man-

ufacturing of smoking and chewing
tobacco and any other article of
commerce in which tobacco is the
chief element. The firm will have
its plant in the Steeck Building.
North George street. The machin-
ery is now being installed.

The cheroot factory recently es-
tablished at Gettysburg by the Key-
stone Cheroot Company, of Han-
over, has been closed, and the ma-
chinery taken apart and shipped to
Hanover, where it has been erected
in the old shoe factory building
The Gettysburg factory was discon-

tinued be'^ause the company could
not secure hands enough to keep
the plant in operation. The new
factory in Hanover has started oper-
ations with 100 employes.

Miller & Mitzel, the East Prospect
street cigar manufacturers, made a
shipment one day last week of 125,-
000 cigars to a firm in the west.
This house enjoys a large trade in
that section of the country, and has
many orders on its books.

The union and non union cigar-
makers of Hanover held a meeting
last Friday evening and took steps

He began his connection with the
cigar leaf trade over thirty years
ago, with the old firm of *A. L,. &

C. L. Holt, and was afterward in
business on his own account. In
1894 he formed a leaf brokerage
partnership with his Son, Samuel
Seymour.

Charles T. Seymour leaves be-
hind him the record of a blameless
life. He was an upright and a
genial citizen. A summary of his
recollections of the Havana leaf to-
bacco trade was published several
weeks ago under the caption, "The
Vueltas of Long Ago," and was
widely read and greatly appreciated

David Dunlop Dead,
David Dunlop, the largest ex-
porter of manufactured tobacco in
the United States, and the wealthiest
resident of Petersburg, Va. , died on
October 26. He was a son of the
late David Dunlop, who came from

ington, Va., by whom he had one
child, David Dunlop. His second
wife was Miss Mollie Johnston, of
Petersburg, who survives him with
four daughters. He leaves an es-
tate estimated to be worth in the
neighborhood of $3,000,000.

PHIlfA. LEAF MARKUT.

The leaf market during the past
week has shown more activity than
for several weeks previous.

There were considerable offerings
of Wisconsin of both 1900 and 1901
crops, and several sales were con-
summated, aggregating a fair vol-
ume of trade.

Several lots of Connecticut 1901
and 1902 were sold. They were
mostly of wrapper grades, in dark
and medium colors, which were
available for binder stock.

Sales of Pennsylvania Broadleaf
and Zimmer make up the balance
of the transactions.

The demand for binder stock is
constantly growing.

Havana market conditions have
been upon the whole quite satisfac-
tory.

Trading in Sumatra tobaccos has
been fairly active, but no large
transactions have been reported.

THE TOBACCO WORLD-

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand-work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two-
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Price's Spicy Store Closed
The cigar store at 37 South Thir
teenth street, which has had rather
a curious career, has again been
closed. H. S. Price, who was the
last proprietor, found the venture
not as satisfactory as he may have
hoped for, and decided on this step
•Quite a little stir was created some
time ago when the Goodwin sisters,
of Boston, took possession of the
premises, but after having it a short
time they sold out to Mr. Price

Vicente Portuondo Entertains
Mr. Mills.
Vicente Portuondo has been en
tertaining D. A. Mills, their west

eral days at the factory headquarters
here. A generally satisfactory con-
dition of trade is reported by Mr.
Mills, who spoke quite hopefully of
tne prospects of the Portuondo pro-
ducts.

P. F. PippiTONE Lauds the
Optimo.

P. F. Pippitone, general travel-
ing representative with A. Santaella
& Co., of Chicago, was visiting his
friends in the trade here recently,
and had much good to say of the
success of the Optimo brand. In
■creased eflforts will be made in the
further exploitation of these goods,
in connection with which several
window displays are promised.

K. Straus & Co's Removal
By the end of this week K. Straus
& Co. will have removed their
stock to their new premises at
Third and Vine streets. This work
is being pushed forward with all
possible speed.

Haeusserm Ann's Importations.
L. G. Haeussermann received

his recent visit to Holland.

Adolph Loeb in Connecticut.
Adolph Loeb, of K. Straus &
Co., is visiting the Connecticut leaf
markets this week. He will return,
however, by the end of the week to
participate in the active prepara-
tions for his wedding, which is to
take place on the 26th proximo.

Havana for Joe Reiter.
Milton Herrold, secretary of the
Loeb- Nunez Havana Co., has
called our attention to the state
ment in these columns last week
crediting five bales of Havana to

J. W. Miller, which he said should
have been for J, W. Reiter, of Cress-
man, Bucks Co., Pa.

Leopold Loeb Returns.
Leopold Loeb, of the Loeb Nunez
Havana Co. . will return from a busi-
ness trip to Havana by the end of
this week.

A. Herzog Improving.
A Herzog, bookkeeper for F.
Eckerson & Co , of this city, who
was injured several weeks ago by
being thrown ofif a horse, is improv-
ing steadily and it is now hoped
that he will again be able to come
to the office by next week.

New Salesman for F. Eckerson
&Co
F. Eckerson & Co. have engaged
Mr. Rubin as salesman for their
house. Mr. Rubin is pretty well
acquainted with the trade in several
sections of the country, and will
doubtless make a valuable acquisi-
tion for the firm.

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

Thii is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers.-> It is also the only self-
Sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
•truction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running na-
ebine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can b«
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed od
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,.
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Most Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine offered.

Not Guilty at Counterfeiting

James Adair, of Red Lion, Acquitted
In York County Courts.

Special to,The Tobacco World.

York, October 27, 1902
James Adair, a well known cigar
manufacturer of Red Lion, who was
charged with selling counterfeit
labels of the Cigarmakers' Union,
was acquitted in court last week be-
fore Judge Bittenger. The costs of
the suit were imposed on George
Allen, of this city, the prosecutor,
agent for the Cigarmakers' Union.
This came about because the
union was not prepared to prove
the adoption by it of the label which
is said to have been counterfeited.
They did produce a minute book
showing that at a meeting of the
international union held in 1880 a
certain label was officially adopted.
But this particular label contained
some ofiFensive allusions to non-
union made cigars which statements
were held by the Pennsylvania
supreme court to invalidate the
label and put it beyond the protec-
tion of the law. The official label
was subsequently changed at a
meeting held in 1893, when the
resolution of 1880 was amended to
meet the supreme court 's objections.
This amended label was the one
which Adair was charged with sell-
ing the counterfeit of. The union
officer who was called to testify did
not happen to have with him the
original minutes of the meeting of
1893, showing the adoption of the
amended label, and Judge Bittenger
refused to hear any secondary evi-
dence on the question. The minute
book was said to be in the office of
the international union at Chicago.
This necessary piece of evidence
not being forthcoming, the case for
the prosecution fell and a verdict of
not guilty was directed. The jury,
however, were lent out to deliberate
on the question of costs. Judge Bit-
tenger said that Adair should not be
ordered to pay them, but that either
the county or the prosecutor ought
to bear that penalty. The prosecutor
caught them.

The other cases against Red Lion
cigarmakers, charged with the same
oflTence as Adair, were continued to
the January term of court.

Trade in Reading.

Reading cigar manufacturers are
busy this fall, and fortunately col
lections have been very good. The
firms'having business in the coal
regions are already receiving orders
from there, which is an indication
that business will again be brisk in
this section. Several factories de-
pend on the coal region trade en-
tirely, and have only been working
on half time since the strike began.
The manufacturers doing business

in the far west state that their sales
there are heavier than usual at this
time of the year. Collector of In-
ternal Revenue F. W. Cranston^
who inspects the factories regularly,,
states that he looks for a big in-
crease in the cigar output of the
district for the year.

At a meeting of Cigarmakers*^
Union, No. 23, of this city, the
union cigar factories were reported
busy. Twelve new members were
elected. The union is distributing
literature advocating the use of the
union label cigars and tobaccos and
opposing the goods made by the
American Tobacco and other con-
cerns operated by combined capital.
Cigar manufacturer William
Schaflfner, of Womelsdorf, was in
Reading last week looking for first-
class cigarmakers, but was only able
to secure a few hands. He reports
his business brisk.

John J. Roth reports his factory
busy on fall orders. He runs a
union label cigar factory, and re-
ports large sales on his leading
brands.

M. Steppacher's factory is one of
the busiest in the city. He manu-
factures union label cigars exclu-
sively and enjoys a large trade.
During the past year the factory has
increased its output and many new
hands were added.

Otto Eisenlohr & Bro., of Boyer-
town, have commenced a tobacco-
stripping factory at Sumneytown.
The firm is very busy at present.

Not in many months has the fac-
tory of Stewart, Newberger & Co.
been as busy as at this time. The
firm is adding new hands daily and
expects to double its output this
year. The factory makes a specialty
of fine hand work and has a num-
ber of large orders on hand. Two
of the leading brands are John Hay
and Louis Mann. A new brand
called the Private Tips is meeting
with a good sale. It was only
recently placed on the market.

Alderman N. Robert Tomlinson,
manufacturer and dealer in cigars,
with a factory in the rear of his
residence, 316 Miller street, has
placed one of his new nickel brands
on the market, styled the Magis-
trate, which is already meeting with
success. Mr. Tomlinson is build-
ing up a large local trade and em-
ploys five hands.

Hiram Stout, who lost both hands
in a dynamite explosion some
months ago, has opened a cigar
store at McKnight and Button-
wood streets. He has fitted out
the place in a handsome manner.

John H. Beidler, formerly em-
ployed at the Textile Machine
works, at Wyomissing, purchased
the goodwill stock and fixtures of
the cigar store and pool room of
Thomas J. Gift, 156 North Ninth

from Baker & Eshleman, Ephrata,
168 cases 1900.

Lancaster dealers have made sales
as follows: I. H. Weaver, one lot
of 370 cases 1900 goods, and M. M.
Fry, 100 cases 1901 .

Moderate sales have also been
made during the week by a num-
ber of dealers who have made no
report.

M. M. Fry purchased last week
a lot of 300 cases of tobacco that
was sold by B. B. Leaman & Son,
of Lititz, to settle a disputed trans-
action. Mr. Fry paid io>^c per
pound.

A majority of the factories are
running along full-handed; many,
in fact, would add hands to their
force if they were available.

John Slater, of Washington, Pa.,
was at factory headquarters in this
city during the past week, and
found matters in a highly satisfac-
tory condition. It has been the
heaviest year the firm has ever had,
and prospects are excellent for a

continuance of good business dur-
ing the remainder of the year.

Box manufacturers are all pretty
busy, indicating good trade among
manufacturers generally.

The cigar and tobacco store of
John Templeton, at Columbia, was
destroyed by fire early last week.

The auction sale of leaf tobacco
which is to be held at Strasburg
on November 5, is attracting some
attention. The sale was not a suc-
cess last year, when a similar at-
tempt was made, but it is stated
that the owner of the tobacco Mr.
B. B. Gonder, believes that it helped
him in making the subsequent sales
of his leaf which he did, and that
fact has encouraged him to try it
again.

internal Revenue Accounting in the Cigar Business.

loth of that month, which I shall
explain later.

The first column, leaf tobacco,
actual weight, stemmed and un-
stemmed, I explained before.
Actual weight is required, as it is ,
customary in this line of business
to purchase tobacco at marked
weight, which is the weight of a
case of tobacco when it is packed
after being dried and cured by the
farmer, and this weight loses about
20 per cent, by the time it is suita-
ble for working into cigars; hence, 1
deducting that percentage from the
marked weight gives the quantity |
of actual weight, which the govern-
ment demands and must be entered
on the date of purchase, from whom,
and their business address.

The next column, manufactured,
explains itself, showing cigars made
^ach day, and cigarettes weighing
over three pounds to the 1,000, if
the latter are made. These are the
little cigars which you have no
<loubt seen advertised. When Sun-
day or a holiday, or any day when
no cigars are made, then either a
liypen or an S is inserted opposite
the date.

Cigar Boxes. — The law prescribes
the capacity of boxes to be used,
-namely, for 12, 13, 25, 50, 100, 200,
250, and 500, each one to bear im-
printed on the bottom the factory
number, district, and State where
the factory is located, and also the
■quantity the box contains.

Stamp Account .-.-Stamps are of
the same denomination as the boxes
and must be entered on day of pur-
chase under their respective head

ings.

Totals.— At the end of the month
each column is totaled and same is
entered in the space opposite
"Totals for the month." As I said
before, this being the first month
the manufacturer has done any
business, and not having anything
carried over from a previous month,
the same totals as for the month are
again brought down and placed op
posite heading, total to be accounted

for.

On the right hand, or credit, or
aales side, the explanation is about
the same, with the following ex-
ceptions: That a manufacturer of
cigars cannot remove or sell any
scraps, cuttings, or stemmed to-
bacco without first obtaining a per-
mit to do so from the collector of
his district, setting forth in his ap-
plication for said permit the quantity
and to whom sale is to be made as

follows:

The collector grants the permis-
sion, which I herewith reproduce,
and then you enter same under the
heading to which the kind of to-
bacco removed refers to. Unstem-
med tobacco can be returned to the
parties from whom it was purchased

without obtaining the aforemen-
tioned permit, but cannot be sold
to any one else unless a permit is
granted.

Cigars cannot be removed from
factory unless they are properly
boxed and stamped, and the
columns, boxes, and cigar stamp
account are always the same figures,
practically in duplicate. For in-
stance, I sell 20,000 cigars; they
are put up as follows: 5,000 in 25s,
5,000 in 50s, and 10,000 in loos.
I enter under the cigar column
heading opposite the date on which
the revenue stamps are afl&xed 20,-
000, and in the space headed cigar
boxes I enter under their respec-
tive denominations 200 25s, 100
50s, and 100 loos, and the same
under the space headed cigar stamp
account.

At the end of the month all of
these columns are separately footed

to see whether the stamps of boxes
used equal the amount of cigars
sold . We take these footings of the

pilople: who
"get along"

In the cigar business, as in every other,
there are certain people, who, when urged to
adopt a new method or install a new and im-
proved equipment, shake their heads and think
they can ''get along" without it.

They do get along, but they get along
toward the rear instead of the front. -

It is much pleasanter to be progressive
instead of going backward — and much more
profitable.

The cigar business
is no different from any
other business in this re-
spect— the man with the
best facilities and the most
modern tools gets more
business and makes more
money, and you can't
stop him.

Take the DuBrul Die-
less Suction Table for
example ; there is no
question in the world but
that this table is a time-
saver and a money-maker
without an equal.

We have been manu-
facturing cigar makers'
tools long enough to know
what we are talking about.

We say that no enterprising cigar maker
can afford to be without this table a single day
longer than it takes to get it in his place and
set it up.

The Dieless Table is a wonderful improve-
ment over all others.

The suction table itself is a distinct success,
but heretofore the dies and rollers have been a

serious objection and a constant irritation. They
are always in the way, rollers constantly dull
the dies and it takes a lot of time and work
to keep the complicated mechanism going in
proper shape.

We have removed every single objection to
the suction table by removing the dies and rollers
and substituting a circular knife which does
much better work than any die ever could.

We have made the
suction table practical
and efficient.

We have placed it in
a position where it can
do good work all the time
with no attention and we
have made it so simple
and easy to manipulate
that operators are de-
lighted with it and won't
work on any other if they
can help it.

Don't try to get along
without this table.

Don't delay writing
us about it and we will
give you a l.ne of facts
and figures that will
make our position per-
fectly clear to you and
convince you that we are right.

But don't forget that we can furnish you die
tables, the best of their kind, if you still insist
on having that kind of machine.

You can see both kinds in either of our
offices.

Ask for our Booklet w. s., which gives com-
plete information.

only totals are given as to their
manufacture, purchase and sale.

Inventory — At the end of the
year a recapitulation is given to the
•collector as to the quantity of to-
bacco on hand, stemmed, un-
stemmed, cuttings, and scraps, ci-
gars not boxed, cigars boxed, cigar
boxes, and value of unattached
Mamps on hand.

While this inventory appears
■simple enough, still it is in this
where the errors arise and which
-•hows whether the tobacco and ci-
gar accounts are correct. At the
end of the year the tobacco account
is taken, first purchases of all un-
stemmed, then the stemmed, cut-
tings, and scraps (of these the
government allows 15 pounds to
the 1,000 cigars,) and these are
made to equal the unstemmed to-
bacco by adding two thirds of its
-weight; after we have it all as un-
stemmed tobacco we then take all
the tobacco sold or removed, mak-
ing the cuttifigs and scraps equal
to the unstemmed.

The quantity of cigars made dur-
ing the year is then taken, allowing
25 pounds to the 1,000, the result
is added to the quantity sold and
•deducting from the amount pur-
chased represents the balance which
should be on hand, but the actual
amount on hand being greater than
the represented balance shows that
less than 25 pounds to the thousand
has been used, and therefore he is
tobacco over, and which he enters
on his last monthly return, and in
the tobacco column under unstem
med tobacco. Inventory of same
factual) is entered in revenue book
January i.

Cigar account made during the
year, sold — balance. — Should the
quantity on hand be less than bal-
ance called for, it is traceable to
breakage, for which the government
allows I per cent, of the produc
tion; if the difference is more than
I per cent, it is well to go over
your figures again before you put
in your final report. It is also
necessary that daily entries of the
manufacture and sales are made,
and the book kept up to date, as
neglect to do so is liable to a cen-
sure from the collector or his deputy
when visiting the factory.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
Occasionally we hear of sales of
the 1 90 1 crop at much better prices
than could have been obtained last
winter, but considerable lower than
the market would seem to warrant.
Yet if taken to New York for sale,
it generally requires a broker to do

the business, unless one is connected
with some firm that he cansendit to
Our growers should form a co
operative union with a competent,
straightforward agent to sell their
goods for them, as the bulk of the
sales are hardly up to binder prices
Every year the cry is raised that
some serious trouble exists in our
New England tobacco, and this
finds expression in the great trade
papers, and then the packers stay
persistently away until the grower
is afraid that he will be unable to
sell, and then the fleecing com
mences. To avoid this, the grower
should go to work and assort his
own crop and pack and hold it, if
need be, until it is sold. It is all
wanted. Already the market is
suffering from the want of good
New England wrappers, and the
large growers are hastening the
stripping and soon will have it in
the sweat room.

Our correspondents write :
Hadley: "There has been a num
ber of sales; among them are Myron
Howe, John Keefe, William L
Keefe, Callahan Brothers, James
Day, Thomas O'Niel and Thomas
Hannigan, all in the bundle, at from

14 to i8c.
Hatfield: A few crops of old to-
bacco were sold last week at 14 to

15 cents. Stripping of the new
crop is in progress, with a fine out-
look for the crop. It is sound and
bright." I

East Granby : ' ' We have recen tly
sold a number of sizable lots of to
bacco, all in the bundle; prices
ranged from 20 to 22c. The to-
bacco crop is curing down very I
finely here; no pole sweat reported. |
Sales have been made of a few crops
at 24c in the bundle and 27c as
sorted. There are about 250 cases
of 190 1 goods in growers' hands in ,
town. L. R. Lobdell has four acres \
of shade grown, and experts call it
the finest in the valley."

Suffield: "The Graves- Bissell
syndicate has stripped some 25
acres, and we learn that it will be
assorted and force- sweated, as the
market is not fully supplied with
New England wrappers. A num-
ber of buyers are now looking over
the field. Some sales are being
made; prices range from 20 to 24c."
Whately: "Severalof our growers
are engaged in stripping their to- 1
bacco. There are some 300 cases |
of fine, well- assorted 1 901 tobacco;
the principal owners are W. W.
Sanderson and S. B. Crafts."

North Hatfield: "The tobacco
buyers have bought a few crops to
be delivered in the bundle at from
17^ to i8c. Others are looking,
but haven't got down to business

There has been no stir in the local
market. The dealers are watching
the curing down of the new crop be-
fore buying. E C. Monroe, repre-
senting the American Tobacco
Company, is reported as buying in
the Big Flats district. There is
nothing being done in the local
warehouses, and only a few small
shipments have been made from
them during the past week. -Gazette.

MIAMISBURG, OHIO.

The weather during the past ten
days has been more to the liking of
the farmers than that previously
experienced since the harvest, and
will have the result of thoroughly
curing and drying out the to
bacso on the poles. Although no
contracting of the new crop has as
yet been indulged in, the larger
packing concerns are engaging their
buyers and will doubtless be ready
for the fray when the proper time
arrives.

Quiet prevails on the market with
private sales at unchanged prices.
Holders have largely the long leafy
styles of medium to fine grades, and
offering them only as calls are
made from brokers, being firm oni
account of small percentage of such
grade in new crop, knowing that a
strong demand will come when the
trade realizes the situation, when
many will want them and bid prices-
up. Human nature seems the same

The business of buying the new
crop has commenced to drag some-
what. While there are plenty of
buyers riding as yet, they are taking
things more moderate. That three-
quarters of the crop is sold seems
to be a safe estimate and the work
of making selections from the bal-
ance should be conducted with some
caution. But little change is noted
so far as regards prices, but with
competition less active tobacco will
be moved at reduced figures.

The market for old leaf is quite
uneventful, transactions being
largely of small lots to manufac-
turers. Samples of the 1901 crop
have been offered on the market
but we learn of few sales so far.

The weather conditions have been
very favorable of late for the com-
plete curing of the hanging crop
which is now beyond all dangers
of shed injury and ready for an
early stripping.

Our receipts this week were 19 hhdi;
offerings on the breaks, 57 hhds; sales,
157 hhds.

The quality of the leaf breaks
was not so high in grade as in past
two weeks.

The market was firm and un-
changed. Warehousemen have
nearly empty floors now, and get-
ting ready to make arrangements
for the new crop. The last cuttings
will soon be cured up when its gen-
eral character can be classed. It
looks like a short fat crop curing
dark now.

The riders for the Consolidated
Tobacco Co. and Italian Agents
are riding the country over exam-
ining the crops. Stemmers have
"thrown up the sponge," and will
make no strips the coming season.

His Jumbo Blew Up.

But Welnschrelder Cannot Re-
cover for the Loss of
His Fingers.

An interesting case was tried be-
fore Judge Marean and a jury in
Brooklyn, N. Y., on October 22.

Edward Weinschreider. a Ger-
man tailor living in Brooklyn,
bought a package of Jumbo all-
tobacco cigarettes, at a Brooklyn
tobacconist's one day a couple of
years ago. While smoking one of
them it exploded and blew off the
thumb and the tips of two fitigers
on his left hand. He promptly
brought suit for $10,000 damages
for personal injuries against the
Prudential Tobacco Company, of
New York, which manufactures the
Jumbo brand. Daring the hearing
before Judge Marean thirty wit-
nesses were examined. Wise &
Lichtenstein appeared for the de-
fendant corporation. Mr. Wise con
tended that even if it were proven
that the cigarette Weinschreider
smoked had exploded, the manu
facturer should not be held liable
for the malicious act of an employe
or workman, or unless the evidence
showed that he operated his factory
negligently. The sealed verdict
handed in by the jury was in favor
of the defendant.

A Limit to His Magic.

He brought them. The box was
scratched somewhat and the few ci-
gars were in disorder.

Thethin man took six and handed
over 75 cents. The men smoked
another hour. They were all tired
out with the delay and the conver-
sation lagged.

But they knew that the first bitter
taste had only been deepened. The
chief capitalist was the next to
summon the negro.

"Uncle," he said, "have you got
any for fifteen straight?"

"I dunno, sah, but I'll see."

The box he brought looked as
though it had seen better days
There were five cigars in it, and
the negro offered them rather re
luctantly.

But they were taken and paid for,
and he went his way without a
word. It was the same thing over
again; the bitterness became dis-
tressing, and another call went up
for the negro.

"Uncle," said the junior of the
crowd, "have you got any twenty
five cent cigars in that old box of
yours?"

A look of guilt swept over the
black face, and he put his hand to
the back of his head and rubbed his
woolly hair.

"'Deed, boss, I don't believe I
hez," he said slowly. "Truf is,
genermen, dis am a mighty various
box, a mighty various box, gener
men, and I'se scratched it to de
limit. I'd like mightily to oblige
ye, but I'se a church membah in

dred steamers that navigate the ^^^^^.^.^ ^^^ ^.^ ^^^^ ^^^

Southern coast. It was going to
inspect timber and cotton mills and

the supply of cigars had been ex
hausted, for the boat had run on a
sand bar and had lost four hours
waiting for high tide.

The steward was an old negro
'whose hair was almost as white as
the cotton which the boat carried

"Uncle," said the stout man,
**have you got any good cigars?"

"Yaas, sah, 'bout ez good ez is
goin .

"Bring us some — ten cents,
straight."

"All right, sah," and he ambled

off.

He returned with a box that had
Havana labels. They took five and
he pocketed the 50 cents.

The cigars were rank, but the
five patient men smoked bravely on,
with comments appropriate to the
occasion. At the end of an hour
they were painfully conscious of a
bad, bitter taste, which nothing but
a better quality of weed would re-
move. The thin man called the
darky again.

"Uncle," he said, "have you got
a two for- a quarter brand?"

"Yaas, sah; I thinks I hez."

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

Leaf Sales to Prisons.
The Commissioner was advised
that certain manufacturers had
made application for a special per-
mit to sell cigar cuttings for use in
a State prison for the use of the in-
mates. The collector was informed
that sales of cuttings and other bi-
products of factories could be made
to qualified manufacturers as pro
vided by law , and that manufacturers
of tobacco or cigars can not lawfully

District Directory.
The regulation requiring not only
the name of the person who pur-
chases tobacco, but the collection
district in which the latter lives, was
complained of by a leaf tobacco
dealer, and he asked that he be
furnished with a directory or guide
which would enable him to deter-
mine the district without being re-
quired to write to his customers for
such information. It was advised
that the office has not prepared any
map or directory showing the
counties which comprise any partic-
ular collection district, and that it
will be necessary for his firm to as-
certain through correspondence from
customers the districts in which they
carry on business, to determine
whether they are qualified manufac-
turers of tobacco or dealers in leaf
tobacco in any particular district,
which must be noted on Book 59,
as required by the regulations.

Sale of Leaf Tobacco.
Merchants of non- tobacco grow-
ing States, asking if it is permissible
to receive tobacco in the hand, from
growers of tobacco States, and retail
to customers free of tax, have been
advised that every person who
should sell raw or leaf tobacco, not
of his own growth or raising, to any
person other that a qualified dealer
in leaf tobacco, or to a qualified
manufacturer of tobacco or cigars,
or to persons who buy leaf tobacco
in packages for export, will be re-
garded as a manufacturer of tobacco,
and, before selling leaf tobacco to
consumers, is required to properly
pack, label and stamp the same, as
provided by the Regulations, No. 8,
pages 5, 6 and 7, and section 69,
act of August 28, 1894, and that
every person who receives leaf to
bacco from farmers or growers, and
who sells the same to consumers at
retail, or in the hand, or in larger
quantities, will incur liability to a
tax of 6 cents per pound on all leaf
tobacco so received and sold.

Maanfactorer StcmmiBg Leaf.

A manufacturer of cigars found

his factory premises not large

enough to accommodate his business

and made application to remove his

tobacco from time to time and use a

building some distance from the

factory for storing, stripping and

drying tobacco. He was advised

that such application could not be

granted, but that a manufacturer of

cigars or tobacco is privileged to

qualify and register as a dealer in

eaf tobacco at some place not con-

nected with his factory, where he
must account on Book 59 for all un-
stemmed and stemmed leaf tobacco
received from himself as manufac-
turer, or from other persons at that
place, and may there stem and dry
his leaf, and afterwards transfer
such stemmed tobacco or strips to
himself as a qualified manufacturer
of cigars, the actual number of
pounds transferred to be entered on
the credit side of his Book 59, the
same as though the tobacco had
been sold and delivered to some
other manufacturer. flKl

Imported Cigars.
An inquiry was made by a cigur
importing firm as to whether it ^as-
permissible to cancel internal rev-
enue stamps on imported ciggrs in
the name of the party to whpm the
goods will be sold, instead of their
own firm name being printed or
written on the stamps. It was ad-
vised that internal revenue stamps
affixed to boxes containing imported
cigars must be canceled by the im-
porter thereof before the same are
entered for consumption or sale in
the United States the name of owner
or importer being substituted by
regulations for the registered factory
number, which must be written or
printed on each stamp before cigars
are removed from a manufactory in
the United States. It was further
advised that if the imported cigars
are entered in their name as the im-
porters or owners on arrival at the
public stores, or when placed in
bonded warehouse, and not in the
name of the person to whom the
cigars are sold, their own name
must be written or printed on each
stamp affixed to the boxes contain-
ing cigars, as required by the regu-
lations.

Cigars by Mail.

In reply to a letter asking whether
a dealer who receives orders by mail
may sell and deliver by mail cigars
taken from stamped boxes, it was
advised that all cigars must be put
up in boxes not before used for that
purpose, and containing 12, 13, 25,
50 or 100 cigars, respectively, and.
every person who sells, or offers
for sale, or delivers, or offers to de-
liver, any cigars in any other form
than in new boxes, or who packs in
any box any cigars in excess of or
less than the number provided by
law, is subject to fine and imprison-
ment, as provided by Section 3392
of the Revised Statutes. It was
further advised that the statute was
not construed as preventing the sale
of cigars at retail, by retail dealers,
from boxes packed, stamped and
branded in the manner prescribed by
law, but is intended to permit a
dealer to sell and deliver cigars
directly from. a. stamped package,.

but not to repack the cigars in
other unstamped boxes for trans-
mission, by mail or otherwise, to
consumers; and that all cigars,
whether imported or domestic, found
in the mails not protected by a proper
stamp are subject to forfeiture under
Section 3398 of the Revised Statutes.

Packiag Ftae-cit Tobacco.
In passing upon certain packages
of fine cut found on the market, and
ubmitted by a manufacturer who
called attention to the Regulations,
No. 8, page 38, relating to sub-
divisions or parcels of statutory
packages of tobacco, and require
that subdivisions shall consist of one
unsealed wrapping of light material
containing chewing or smoking to-
bacco, not to exceed three- fourths
of an ounce, the Commissioner
stated the regulations are so modi-
fied, however, as to permit fine xut
chewing tobacco to be put away Into
as many separate small parcels as
the manufacturer may desire, pro-
vided they do not contain a statu-
tory quantity of tobacco. It was
advised that subdivisions can not
contain i, i^, «, 2%, 3,3V3,and4
ounces of tobacco, and that such
individual packages must be prop-
erly labeled and stamped. The ob-
ject of the rule evidently was to give
manufacturers additional facilities
for placing their fine cut chewing
tobacco on the market and in quan-
tities other than statutory quantities.
It was advised that unstamped sub-
divisions of fine cut tobacco may
run lb to a pound, or 120 to a 10-
pound pail; and any other number
or nuinbers not involving a statu-
tory quantity of tobacco. It was
also pointed out that subdivisions
must be repacked in other packages
contaibing a pound, or in pails or
buckeis containing 10 or 20 pounds,
and that the larger package must be
properly labeled, marked and
stamped, the subdivisions to remain
In the stamped packages until sold
to conlsumers, and that all wooden
ckages containing fine-cut chew-
ing tobacco must have printed or
marked thereon the manufacturer's
name 4nd place of manufacture, the
registcired number of the manufac-
tory, the gross weight, the tare and
the nei weight of the tobacco con-
tained in each package.

Pasteboard Cigar Package.
The Commissioner has approved
the us^ of a pasteboard box contain-
ing 100 cigars, weighing more than
three pounds per thousand, tax-
paid at the rate of $3 per thousand,
the cigars being put up in parcels
often, enclosed in wax paper and
tin foil wrappings, in accordance
with the regulations. No. 8, page
54, which provide that subdivisions
will be authorized when consisting

of an unsealed wrapping or en-
closure, cutoff at one end, and that
manufacturers will be privileged to
separate their cigars into parcels
and enclose the same in tin foil
wrappings, disclosing the number
and size of the cigars contained in
each subdivision, without removing
them from the box. It was advised
that similar packages could be used
and that each box must have affixed
thereto a label showing the factory
number, the number of the district
and State, and the caution noticfe
in form prescribed by Section 3393,
Revised Statutes, and each box to
have stamped, indented or branded
thereon the factory numt)er and the
number of the district and State,
and the number of cigars contained
in the box , as provided by Section
3397, and that the stamp of proper
denomination denoting the number
of cigars contained in the box must
be so affixed as to securely seal the
box and prevent the cigars from
being removed without breaking
the stamp; that each stamp must
be canceled by waved lines extend
ing three quarters of an inch be-
yond each side of the stamp, and
further canceled by the registered
factory number and date of use be-
ing plainly written thereon, and
that the subdivisions or small par
eels which are not stamped must
remain in the stamped package
until sold to the consumers. It is
further advised that the caution
notice label required by Section
3393, and branding required by
Section 3397, respectively, may be
done by printing the same directly
on the pasteboard boxes, as pro-
vided by decisions Nos. 96 and 97,
dated April 13, 1900.

self respecting toil in that of Vul- it has never been alleged that I mentlface! Tome and to no one
can, and incorruptible justice in ' descend to the baser parts of the else."

Venus and Mars here interrupted
their lovemaking, and both rose to
their feet with the impulse of people
whose rights are being trifled with,
' for it is known that Beauty and
j War have inspired quite as many
and perhaps finer verses than Wine,
but they refrained from voicing
their protests, for they saw that the
judges were not paying a vast deal
of attention to the hopeless "horri-
ble example" who had attempted
to rob them of their honors. And,
besides, Bacchus was too drunk
anyhow to continue the debate.
He went to sleep immediately and
was carried oflF to bed on a nearby
cloud by his African valets. The
Tobacco God sent a pitying glance
after hira, and then prepared to con-
tinue his argument. Jupiter di-
rected that the poem which had
given rise to the disputation should
be read to the council, and the fine
lines were accordingly declaimed
by no less a voice than that of
Apollo. Lamb's "Farewell to To-
bacco" is worthy of that supreme
honor. You'll believe it if you'll
take the trouble to read it.

After Apollo had finished Jove
gave judgment:

"Upon Olympus," he said, "none
hereafter may dare to call these dis-
putants kin, but on earth where
good verses are rare, mortals may
continue to do so. Any other de-
cision would be to cast too great

"Huh," said Jupiter Tonans, in
a voice that rumbled down to earth
in a thunderstorm, "who is this
new god who has come among us,
and what is all this he has to al-
lege against our Bacchus?"

"I do not rightly know his Greek
name," answered Minerva, who, as
usual, was seated at her father's
right hand at the council table,
"but I gather from his bill of com-
plaint that one Charles Lamb, a
mortal, is at the bottom of the
trouble. This Lamb, it seems, was
a poet, and he wrote a set of verses
in which he refers to this new god
as Bacchus' brother ? Bacchus
doesn't care, but the new god ob-
jects to being associated in such
intimate fashion with an irreclaim-
able drunkard, as he calls Bacchus.
He says he is an American citizen,
and that he moves only in respecta-
ble society. His demand is that
we, the greater gods of Olympus,
shall decree that the verses to which
he takes exception shall at once
and forever be expunged from the
memory of mortals."

"Let the complainant stand
forth," said Jove.

Thereupon the Tobacco God, for
whom antiquity had no name, be-
cause antiquity had no Columbus
capable of penetrating to this dis-
tant Atlantis of ours, where our
native Kvarras made their own gods,
rose up. His countenance was
mild and its aspect contemplative.
His eye was brilliant, his address
composed and dignified. Minerva
and Diana regarded him with less
disdain than they Showered upon
the other male creatures of their
circle, and Juno whispered to Venus
that he looked rather like a good
family man. Venus, with a side
glance at her husband Vulcan,
whispered back, "too sober," and
during the rest of the council flirted
with Mars, and neither of them paid
much attention to the proceedings.

"I conceive, godsand goddesses,"
said the Tobacco God, "that those
of you who have passed your eter-
nity in gallantry and who have as
sociated daily with him who in my
land would be denominated a 'wine

NOVEMBER 5, iqo2.

The Future ot Cuba.

The United States Government
got a lambasting at th« hands of
the editor of El Tabaco, the Cuban
trade paper, in an article called
"Through the Hoop." In El
Tabaco the Spanish text appears
alongside an alleged translation in
English, but the English is of a
wierd and involved character. This
much can be made out, however,
viz: that the editor of El Tabaco
does not love the United States,
which is an observation The Tobacco
World made long ago and in all
charity.

That all Cubans do not agree
with the editor of El Tabaco is plain
from the following statement by
Francisco Reyes Guzman, which is
probably true and which gives a far
more interesting picture of present
conditions in Cuba than any which
has heretofore appeared in print:

As a Cuban I wish to thank Wil-
liam Allen White for his article,
published in McClure's Magazine,
on reciprocity with Cuba. She is
in great distress and ruin because
of the failure of the bill in Congress.
She cannot get along without the
American market. The present
tariflf is prohibitive. Sugar pays
1.85 cents per pound, cigars manu-
factured in Havana pay $4.50 per
pound and 25 per cent, ad valorem
additional, and tobacco leaf pays
I 85 per pound on wrappers and 35
cents per pound on fillers. The
result is that Cuba has no market
for her sugar and tobacco.

But my belief is that Cuba needs
from this country something more
than reciprocity, and that is what I
am going to explain very carefully.

I will state that I have been doing
business there for the last thirty-
five years, and that I have invested
there today more than $500,000.
Consequently I have had enough
experience to know all the evils and
the remedies to be applied to them.

I consider that the political
problem of every country ought to
be solved at the same time with the
commercial one, harmonizing them
in all possible ways, the political
being the more important.

The Spanish Government was
always considered by the Cubans
a provisional one. And why? Be-
cause Spain was divorced commer-
cially from her colony. She did
not buy its produets. The tobacco
was monopolized by the Govern-
ment, and the duty on sugar was
so high that it was prohibited from
entrance there.

And to-day the Cuban republican
government is considered a pro
visional one. Why? Because it is
so weak in every way that it does
not inspire confidence at home or
abroad, and because it is not in ac-
cord with the wishes of three-fourths
of the inhabitants. The result will
be that money will leave, instead
of going there. No emigrants will
go there, except a few Spaniards.

Cuba is to-day like a ship at the
mercy of a cyclone on the high
sea and without a pilot on board.
The moneyed persons turn their
eyes toward Washington as they
behold with great sorrow their
properties losing value every day.
The republic was born on the 20th
of May, and since that time all
values on the island have gone down
20 per cent.

There are 25,000 persons who
took part in the revolution. They
have monopolized everything there
— all the Government ofiices, posi-
tions on the police force and the
rural guard, and have declared that
the Cubans who did not go to the
revolution do not deserve to be con-
sidered by them. They are crying
out in every possible way against
annexation. Any person who
favors it there will be severely dealt
with by them and treated as a traitor.
That is the reason why it appears
that the country does not want to
be annexed. But these persons
have nothing to lose and are pur-
suing a policy for their own per-
sonal benefit. The majority of the
other Cubans are disgusted with
their lack of true patriotism.

The natural consequence is that
there is a material peace, but no
moral one.

fourths of the fighting men were

For all of these reasons I am
obliged to call the serious attention
of the President, the United States
Government and the American peo-
ple to my statement that the best
gift they can give to the Cubans will
be to annex the island as soon as
Congress assembles, on condition

the only thing that will solve for-
ever all the Cuban problems.

This country needs Cuba for
political reasons, and Cuba needs
this country for commercial safety.
By the Piatt amendment Cuba is
morally annexed to the United States.
One must be blind if he does not see
it.

If the United States acts toward
Cuba in a weak manner there will
always be trouble between the two
countries; but if, on the contrary,
it acts strot7gly and annexes the
island, three-fourths of the inhabi-
tants there will be deeply indebted
to this country for having saved
them from sure ruin, and I am sure
that there will be no rebellion or
revolution, because nobody dares to
oppose this country.

In conclusion, I state that al-
though I did not go to fight, I did
help the revolution with some cash
and by taking several thousand
doUarsof the Cuban Republic bonds.

Parallel Months.

Those who are sending in esti-
mates of the production of cigars in
December, 1902, under the condi-
tions of the Florodora Tag Com-
pany's prize offer, are counselled to
bear in mind that in the matter of
productiveness August and Decem-
ber are usually parallel months.
Thus the total production of cigars
in August, 1900, was 483,551,838,
while in December of the same year
it was 467,092,208. The produc-
tion in August, 1901, was 485,472,-
813, and in December, 1901, it was
479.327.933- But note the remark
able increase of August, 190a, over
August, 1901: whereas the produc-
tion in August 1 90 1, was, as stated,
485,472,813, that of August, 1902,
was 565,974,550, an excess of over
80,000,000. At the same rate the
production for December, 1902 , may
run up to over 575,000,000.

The Finest Bnglish Poem
ou Tobacco,

Charles Lamb's " Farewell to
Tobacco," which suggested Mr.
Kraus's fine chapter of the Comic
History of Tobacco, printed this
week, is admittedly the finest Eng-
lish poem on tobacco. If you are
not familiar with it, you are advised
to read it before you read Mr.
Kraus's chapter.

A FAREWELL TO TOBACCO.
May the Babylonish curse
Straight confound my stammering

verse,
If I can a passage see
In this word perplexity.
Or a fit expression find.
Or a language to my mind
(Still the phrase is wide or scant).
To take leave of thee. Great Plant!
Or in any terms relate
Half my love or half my hate :
For I hate yet love thee so,
That, whichever thing I show,
The plain truth will seem to be
A constrain 'd hyperbole.
And the passion to proceed
More from a mistress than a weed.

Sooty retainer to the vine,
Bacchus' black servant, negro-fine;
Sorcerer, that makest us dote upon
Thy begrimed complexion.
And for thy pernicious sake.
More and greater oaths to break
Than reclaimed lovers take
'Gainst women: thou thy siege dost

lay
Much, too, in the female way.
While thou suck'st the labouring

breath
Faster than kisses or than death.

Thou in such a cloud dost bind us.
That our worst foes cannot find us,
And ill fortune, that would thwart us.
Shoots at rovers, shooting at us;
While each man, through thy

heightening steam,
Does like a smoking Etna seem,
And all about us does express
(Fancy and wit in richest dress)
A Sicilian fruitfulness.

Thou through such a mist dost

show us,
That our best friends donotknowus,
And, for those allowed features,
Due to reasonable creatures.
Liken 'st us to fell chimeras —
Monsters that, who see us, fear us;
Worse than Cerberus or Geryon,
Or, who first loved a cloud, Ixion.

Bacchus we know, and we allow
His tipsy rites. But what art thou,
That but by reflex canst show
What his deity can do,
As the false Egyptain spell
Aped the true Hebrew miracle?
Some few vapours thou may'st raise,
The weak brain may serve to amaze,
But to the veins and nobler heart
Canst nor life nor heat impart.

Brother of Bacchus, later born,
The old world was sure forlorn
Wanting thee, that aidest more
The god's victories than before
All his panthers, and the brawls
Of his piping Bacchanals.
These, as stale, we disallow,
Or judge of thee meant: only thou
His true Indian conquest art;
And, for ivy round his dart.
The reformed god now weaves
A finer thyrsus of thy leaves.
Scent to match thy rich perfume
Chemic art did ne'er presume
Through her quaint alembic strain.
None so sovereign to the brain.
Nature that did in thee excel.
Framed again no second smell.
Roses, violets, but toys,
For the smaller sort of boys,
Or for greener damsels meant;
Thou art the only manly scent.

Stinking'st of the stinking kind.
Filth of the mouth and fog of the

mind,
Africa, that brags her foison.
Breeds no such prodigious poison,
Henbane, nightshade, both together,
Hemlock , aconite —

Nay, rather.
Plant divine of rarest virtue;
Blisters on the tongue would hurt

you.
'Twas but in a sort I blamed thee.
None e'er prospered who defamed

thee:
Irony all and feign 'd abuse,
Such as perplex 'd lovers use
At a need, when in despair,
To paint forth their fairest fair,
Or in part but to express
That exceeding comeliness
Which their fancies doth so strike,
They borrow language of dislike;
And, instead of Dearest Miss,
Jewel, Honey, Sweetheart, Bliss,
And those forms of old admiring,
Call her cockatrice and Siren,
Basilisk, and all that's evil,
Witch, Hyena, Mermaid, Devil,
Ethiop, Wench and Blackamoor,
Monkey, Ape, and twenty more:
Friendly Traitress, Loving Foe, —
Not that she is truly so.
But no other way they know
A contentment to express.
Borders so upon recess,
That they do not rightly wot
Whether it be pain or not.

Or as men, constrain 'd to part.
With what's nearest to their heart.
While their sorrow's at the height,
Lose discrimination quite.
And their hasty wrath let fall,
To appease their frantic gall,
On the darling thing whatever
Whence they feel it death to sever.
Though it be, as they, perforce,
Guiltless of the sad divorce.

For I must (nor let it grieve thee.
Friendliest of plants, that I must)

leave thee.
For thy sake. Tobacco, I,
Would do anything but die.
And but seek to extend my days
Long enough to sing thy praise.
But, as she who once hath been
A king's consort, is a queen
Ever after, nor will bate
Any tittle of her state
Though a widow, or divorced.
So I, from thy converse forced,
The old name and style retain,
A right Katherine of Spain:
And a seat too 'mongst the joys
Of the blest Tobacco Boys;
Where . though I , by sour physician ,
Am debarr'd the full fruition
Of thy favours. I may catch
Some collateral sweets, and snatch
Sidelong odours, that give life
Like glances from a neighbour's

wife;
And still live in the by- places
And the suburbs of thy graces;
And in thy borders take delight
An ttnconquer'd Canaanite.

Retail Tobacconists in

Austria.

MoBii^E, Ala., November 2, 1902
Dear Medicine Man:

Will you kindly explain the sys-
tem of retailing cigars, cigarettes
and tobacco by the regie of Austria?

I.J. Stanilaws.

Answer

The sale is conducted through
licensed agents, whose number is
limited and whose location is pre-
scribed, so that competition shall
not prevent a lucrative business.
The trafl&c is supervised by an
official whose jurisdiction covers a
specific territory subdivided among
anumber of assistants. The tobacco
product is bought by the licensed
dealers from these officials, and
must be sold to the consumer at
prices fixed by law, which yield to
the seller about 10 per cent profit
from the cheapest and 5 per cent,
from the dearest cigars. Hotels
and restaurants, which seldom pos-
sess a license, must purchase to-
bacco of the licensed dealers and
pay the same prices as individuals.
They can fix their own price, how-
ever, which they do by adding i
kreutzer (0.4 cent) to the legal price
of a cigar or cigarette.

The cheapest domestic cigar costs
06 cent; the dearest 3.6 cents.
The price for a thousand or a million
is at the same rate. Each of the
different kinds of cigars has a dis-
tinctive name. j

An Barly Description of the
Tobacco Plant.

In compliance with the request of
"Handsome Dan" of New Haven,
Conn . , I give the text of the descrip-
tion of the tobacco plant from
Gerard's Herball, printed in London
in 1636.

"Tobacco, or henbane of Peru,

hath very great stalks of the bigness
of a child's arm, growing in fertile
and well dunged ground, seven or
eight feet high, dividing itself in
sundry branches of great length,
whereon are placed in most comely
order very fair, long leaves, broad,
smooth, and sharp pointed, soft and
of a light green colour; so fastened
about the stalk that they seem to
embrace and compass it about. The
flowers grow at the top of the stalks,
in shape like a bell flower, some-
what long and cornered, of a light
carnation colour, tending to white-
ness towards the brims The seed
is contained in long sharp pointed
cods, or seed vessels, like unto the
seed of yellow henbane, but some-
what smaller and browner of colour.
The root is great, thick, and of a
woody substance, with some thready
strings annexed thereunto."

The Educational Value ot a

Scolding.

It was Charles Dickens who
scolded us for our tobacco chewing
habits, and the things he said un-
doubtedly did much to put a stop
to what he called "those two odious
practices of chewing and expector-
ating." In his "American Notes"
he says:

"In the courts of law the judge
has his spittoon, the crier his, the
warder his, and the prisoner his;
while the jurymen and spectators
are provided for as so many men
who, in the course of nature, must
desire to spit incessantly. In the
hospitals the students of medicine
are requested by notices upon the
wall to eject their tobacco juice into
the boxes provided for that purpose
and not to discolour the stairs. In
public buildings visitors are im-
plored through the same agency to
squirt the essence of their quids, or
'plugs', as I have heard them called
by gentleman learned in this kind
of sweetmeat, into the national spit-
toons, and not about the bases of
the marble columns. In some parts
this custom is inseparably mixed up
with every meal, and morning call,
and with all the transactions of
social life."

The national spit-boxes were in-
deed obnoxious to him, and assur-
edly he had some grounds for his
resentment if the following may be
accepted as a bare statement of fact.
Writing on a canal boat, on his way
to the tobacco plantations at Rich-
mond, he says:

"I was obliged this morning to
lay my fur coat on the deck, and
wipe the half- dried flakes of spittle
from it with my handkerchief, and
the only surprise seemed to be that
I should consider it necessary to do
so! When I turned in last night, I
put it on a stool beside me, and
there it lay, under a cross fire from
five men — three opposite, one above,
and one below." *

Tobacco as a Cure-all.

The notion that tobacco is a val-
uable remedy for almost every kind
of disease is very ancient. Whilst
the great plague raged in London
tobacco was recommended by the

facnlty, and generally taken as a
preventive against infection. Pepys
records the following on the 7th of
June, 1665:

"The hottest day that ever I felt
in my life. This day, much against
my will, I did in Drury Lane see
two or three honses marked with a
red cross upon the doors, and 'Lord
have mercy upon us!' writ there;
which was a sad sight to me, being
the first of the kind, that to my re-
membrance, I ever saw. It put me
into an ill conception of myself and
my smell, so that I was forced to
buy some roll tobacco to smell and
chew, which took away the appre-
hension."

Further, it was popularly reported
that no tobacconists or their house-
holds were afflicted by the plague
Physicians who visited the sick took
it very freely; the men who went
round with the dead carts had their
pipes continually alight. This gave
tobacco a new popularity, and it
again took the high medical position
accorded to it by the physicians of
the French Court.

Rain Damages the Crop in
Cuba.

Sales in the Havana market dur-
ing the week ending Oct. 25 have
fallen apparently somewhat behind
again, as only 5,000 bales were re-
ported openly, although it is known
that at least one house, if not more,
have abstained from giving pub-
licity to their transactions at the
moment (for one reason or the
other) and if these quantities were
added, the grand total would be in
excess rather than below the sales
of the previous week. According to
districts in round numbers 3,000
bales Vuelta Abajo, 800 bales Par
tido, and 1,200 bales Remedios
changed hands while the destination
was for the United States 3,000
bales, Havana cigar and cigarette
manufacturers 1,300 bales, and for
export to Europe 700 bales. The
market closes very strong and ad-
vancing for all desirable goods.
The 1903 Crop.

The reports of damage by exces-
sive rainstorms recently are of such
an advancing nature from the Vuelta
Abajo and Partido that all hopes for
a temprano crop have to be aban
doned, and, even if, in some isolated
instances, a few farms should have
escaped the general destruction
wrought by the torrential rains, they
could not possibly play any role to
speak of. In some parts of the
Vuelta Abajo and Semi-Vuelta dis-
tricts, where the soil is of a more
dayish nature, it is reported that

from two to three feet of water had
covered the ground. Bven if this
is exaggerated, nevertheless the
young plants set out may be con-
sidered as lost entirely, and if, what
is worse, the seedbeds also should
have suffered, then it would require
from six to eight weeks to prepare
new seedbeds, sowing and getting
the young plants to reach the neces-
sary stage before they could be
transplanted. While seedlings had
been plentiful and cheap, com-
paratively speaking, it is now more
than likely that prices will advance,
and this would make the cost of
raising the crop more expensive,
not counting the time, labor and
money spent so far as being irrevo-
cably lost. The official reports from
the weather bureau will only be
published next week, still there are
enough advices to hand from private
sources to make clear that it is
hardly possible that any mistake
should have been made in estimat-
ing the damage done. This news
naturally had the eff"ect of stiff"ening
the holders of the 1902 and pre-
vious crops in Havana, although
prices are already at such a height
that a further rise seems out of
question, unless the dealers should
make it prohibitory for the buyers
to secure what they yet need.

While tobacco, generally speak-
ing, is a fancy article which has no
fixed and staple value, still there is
a limit nevertheless, as it would be
only a matter of calculating the cost
of producing an article and the
value it would sell for in the mar-
ket, to decide whether the manufac-
turer could continue to purchase at
a sure loss, or would have to buy
some substitute, or keep his factory
idle. That the latter extremity is
resorted to only as the ultimate step
of desperation stands to reason, but
for the United States the choice of
a substitute has been tried before
and found to work in case of neces-
sity, while the Havana cigar manu-
facturer is compelled either to work
without the help of any substitute,
or to shut down his factory. Most
of the Havana dealers, however,
remember the saying about not kill-
ing the goose that lays the golden
eggs.

Havana Cigar Factories.

Damp and rainy weather inter
fertd somewhat with the operations
of the factories, as the fillers would
not dry well enough, still the
Morro Castle alone carried almost
4 500,000 cigars thus showing that
the demand is at its height and that
orders are plentiful. H. Upmann &
Co. again shipped 1,200,000 of the
above quantity. Don Leslie Pantin
will ship 250,000 cigais on Oct. 27,
as he could not get his orders com-
pleted by the factories owing to the
humidity, Ben Wasserman states
that the demand for Havana cigars
is increasing in the United States,
and while he formerly could get
through in one week he may now
need three weeks to make his selec-
tions in the city of Havana of the
different brands and sizes. He
states that of fine and costly sizes
all are alike in aroma, and that he
would not give the palm to any par-
ticular factory, as they are all good.

A Prosperous Havana Firm.

The old established and well
known firm of Rabell, Costa & Co.,
of which Don Prudencio Rabell
(better known as "El Marques de
Rabell ") , is the senior partner, holds
a very fine and selected stock of
about 12.500 bales of Vuelta Abajo,
as well as some Remedios tobacco
of the old and new crops. A good
part of their Vuelta Abajo comes
from the famed Remates section,
although they also possesss about
3,000 bales of the not less well
known Montezuelo tobacco, a leaf
highly prized in the United States
owing to its pronounced aromatic
flavor, and which has always been
actively sought after by most manu
facturers in the north.

The cigar factories, "Romeo y
Julieta" controlled by this firm, and
"Ramon Allones" by Rabell, Costa,
Vales & Co., are also well supplied
with the choicest leaf that money
could buy, consequently it is no
wonder that they are turning out the
finest cigars, and which connois
seurs have admitted to be the best
to be found upon the market.

Both factories are working with
full hands, and orders are coming
[ in plentifully from the United States,
I as well as from Europe, which surely
is an additional proof, if needed,
that quality and workmanship must
j satisfy the taste of the legitimate
I Havana c gar smoker. As the firms
of Rabell, Costa & Co. and Rabell
Costa, Vales & Co. are jealously
guarding their reputation of being
at the head of the Independent Ci-
gar factories in Havana, and spare
no money to remain there, they will
doubtless continue to enjoy the
favors of the public in the years to
come.

Broke the Record.

Leonard A. Cohn, of A. Cohn &
Co., broke the record when he
bought at the last inscription of the
1902 season at Amsterdam the en-
tire parcel, 450 bales. Deli My A,
and the entire parcel, 510 bales.
Deli My TS. This is the first time
that an American house bought so
largely at a final inscription. Mr.
Cohn says these tobaccos are re
markably fine, especially the Amer-
ican marks.

A. N. Jacobs Married.

staff of B, Feifer 5' Co., well known
union label cigar manufacturers of

Heart disease was the cause of death .
He was active in political and fra-
ternal organization aflfairs. A widow

F., and James A. Patterson, sur-
vive him.

THE LOCAL TRADE.

The Opening Hindered.

The cigarmakers of Popper, Dod-
dy & Jourdan, who opened a new
factory at Marietta, Pa., have been
idle for some little time, owing to
the fact that they have not been able
to secure a charter from the Cigar-
makers' International Union to be
established at that place. It was
intended to operate a strictly union
factory there. The men allege that
the charter is being withheld in or-
der to compel them to join the Lan-
caster Union.

Altman's New Store.
A new cigar store has been open-
ed this week at the S. W. corner of
Sixteenth and Diamond streets by
J. H. Altman, who is a brother- in
law to Harry Hirschberg, of J.

The place is being fitted out in a
modern manner, and is to be well
stocked with a full line of high
grade imported Key West and do-
mestic goods.

Changed Hands,
M. Ktvatanas has purchased the
Manuel Garcia store at Sixth and
Arch streets. Mr. Garcia has not

and expects to return to Havana,
Cuba, his native home.

tory business here.
«^

Feels Good as He Travels.

A. S. Koch, of Dempey & Koch,
is on a business trip through the
South and West, and has sent in
during the two weeks he has been
out, some fine orders for the goods
of his firm.

Doings of the U. C. S Co.

It is understood that the United
Cigar Stores Co. are already mak-
ing some changes in the local man-
agement. Mr. Reed, formerly of
Reed & Register, retail dealers in
New York, who sold their business
to the U. C. S. Co., is to take
charge of the Philadelphia stores.

Some unique window displays
are being made by them this week
at the Eighth and Chestnut streets

Porto Rico cigars, made from the
finest leaf grown on the island.
They will be in several sizes, and
will be sold from five cents up.

Will Travel South and West
J. W. Hulse, with Parham &
DuflF, has left for Washington and
southern and western points, to be
gone until the first of the year.
Their sales on the Huckleberry
Finn are very good, and he expects
to increase them on his trip.

Visitors.
John G Spatz, of J. G. Spatz &
Co., Reading, Pa , stopped in Phil-
adelphia last week on his way home
from the South, Phil, Verplank,
with Gonzalo, Mora & Co,, was
also in town this week.

Doings in the Leaf Trade,

Felix Eckerson & Co. report that
the condition of A, E. Hertzog,
their bookkeeper, who was injured
some time ago by being thrown

from a horse, is not improving as
much as was hoped for, and that
the physicians now have grave fears
of his recovery.

They also report that they have

not engaged Mr. Rubin as sales

man, inasmuch as they are already

pretty well represented in the trade.

««

G. W. Newman, of Young &
Newman, reports the sale of 400
cases of Pennsylvania leaf.
%»

K. Strauss & Co. figured quite
conspicuously last week in the local
market. They have been rather
heavy purchasers lately of Con
necticut and Onondago tobaccos.
They also made a purchase of i 000
cases of Zimmer Spanish recently.

Oscar Boehm,ot Bremer Bros. &
Boehm, have been quite aggressive
lately. He has just covered York
county, and is this week in Lan-
caster and vicinity,

Benj. Labe & Sons received on
the steamer Morro Castle 160 bales
of Havana, and report 389 more
bales on the way.

M, B, Arndt, of J. Hirschberg &
Bro., who recently returned from
the West, will again leave for that
territory this week, to be gone
probably until Christmas,

Charles Martinez, with E. A.
Calves & Co. , who has had his busi-
ness appetite whetted by some good
sales lately, is rounding up a good
year among Pennsylvania manu-
facturers.

Carl Haeusserman is spending
this week in Reading and vicinity,
in the interest of his father, L. G.
Haeusserman.

Among this week's visitors were
S, L Johus,of McSherrystown.Pa.,
Julius Marqusee, New York, Frank
Pulver, with Sutter Bros , New
York, and Max Sondheim, of
Leonard Friedman & Co,, New
York.

Narrigan was Surprised.

It has been said that H. D. Nar-
rigan, the well-known jobber of this
city, claims that his business career
has been so full of vicissitudes that
he thought nothing could surprise
him any more. This, however,
was proven last week to be a false
idea, for, under the shrewd manage-
ment of Mrs. Narrigan, a wedding
anniversary and surprise was ar-

ranged on the 23d ult , which proved
a complete success, and it has con-
vinced Mr. N. of the surprising
capacity of feminine art. A num-
ber of guests were invited, and of
those in the trade who attended
were Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Mil-
ler, Mr. John P. Brown, a retail
dealer, and F. B. Robertson, all of
whom spent a most enjoyable even-
ing with their genial host and
hostess.

PHILA, LEAF MARKUT.

There have been signs of increased
activity in the local market during
the past week, and trading has been
more general than for some time
past, showing a considerable im-
proved condition over some weeks
previous.

Among the transactions were
sales of moderate sized lots of Wis-

bing house recently bought one lot
of I 000 cases Zimmer Spanish.
As a result the trade has taken a
more encouraging view ot things,
and expressions of greaterconfidence
are being heard on every side.

The Sumatra situation is practic-
ally unchanged. Prices are being
firmly maintained, and sales of
moderatesized lots are being steadily
reported.

Havana also is ruling high and
firm, and an air of the fullest con-
fidence is being shown by the
holders.

'Sew York Leaf Market

The good fall business in the New
York leaf market, predicted by The
Tobacco World last spring, has
supervened on schedule time.

The Sumatra houses are partic-
ularly well satisfied with ruling
conditions. Large importers like
A. Cohn & Co., E. Rosen wald &
Bro., F. & E. Cranz, H. Duys &
Co., Laverge & Schneider, Joseph
Hirsch & Son, L. Schmid & Co.,
Rothschild & Bro., Sutter Bros ,
A. Blumlein & Co., Leonard Fried-
man & Co., Simon Auerbach &
Co., G. Falk & Bros., S Rossin &
Sons and others, are disposing of
Sumatra in old time quantities. E.
Rosenwald & Bro., for instance,

sold 426 bales in one lot to H.
Traiser & Co , and 154 bales to
Breslin & Campbell, of Boston.

The Havana men are complain-
ing that the only reason why they
are not selling shiploads of tobacco
at a clip is that they haven't got
the goods.

The domestic tobaccos are mov-
ing freely and this is particularly
true of the new Connecticut.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION iViACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Trade in Reading.

Reading, Pa., Oct. 31, 1902.

Thomas P. Moore, proprietor of
the cigar store at 5th and Penn
streets, celebrated his twenty- fifth
anniversary in business on Satur-
day, Oct. 25. All day friends
dropped in to greet him, and tele
grams and letters of congratulation
were received from many distant
places. The store was decorated
with palms, and at the entrance was
a large cake of ice, on the inside of
it being the announcement, in red
letters, of the red letter day. Mr.
Moore began arranging for his anni-
versary a year ago, but one feature
of it was a surprise to him. It was
arranged by Frank L. Custer, who
has been with Mr. Moore since May
5, 1886. The latter always dis-
tributesamonghis patrons souvenirs
when the occasion demands, and
through a hint of Mr. Custer's quite
a lot were secured for anniversary
day. Yocum Bros, sent a bundle
of cigar cases calling attention to
the event, with their compliments,
to be handed out to the patrons.
John G. Spatz & Co. did the same ;
Lengel & Ernst, E. E Kahler,
Roig, Langsdorf & Duquesne also
sent souvenirs. The Cortez Cigar
Co. sent a lot of buttonhole bou-
<[uets, which were pinned to the
lapels of the callers. Mr. Moore
distributed a neat little souvenir of
his own in the shape of a little
wooden man imported from Austria.
The head can be taken off and used
as a cigar holder. Mr. Moore
Started in business Oct. 25, 1877,
at 506 Penn street, moved Feb. 14,
1886, to 501 >^ Penn street, and on
July I, 1893, to his present place.
During his time, Mr. Moore has
€njoyed much success in his busi-
ness. Besides being a good trades-
man, Mr. Moore is a minor poet,
his muse doing no discredit even
to his famous namesake. In his
windows were examples of his
poetic accomplishments, which re-
flected upon him no little credit,
and were held in profound admira-
tion by his less inspired friends.

Reading's first cigarette factory
was opened at 228 Penn street, by
G. Hollis & Co., last week, and
bids fair to become one of the busi-
est industries here. The firm manu-

facture a special line of Turkish
cigarettes for the trade at home as
well as abroad. So great has be-
come the demand for Turkish or
Egyptian cigarettes, as some brands
are known, that the members of the
firm believe there is an excellent
opening here for an industry of that
kind. There are over 100 cigar
factories here, large and small, em-
ploying anywhere from 2 to 400
hands, but this is the first firm to
engage in the manufacture of cigar-
ettes exclusively. About a dozen
hands are employed at present, but
the firm proposes to increase this
force as soon as trade warrants it.
The firm has already placed its
goods on sale. They manufacture
three grades, Nos. 1.2. and 3, and
the brand will be known as the
Hes-Ra. This is the name of the
Egyptian god of the sun and moon,
and a picture of the same god of
mythology is used as the trade
mark on all boxes.

The Cigarmakers Union is busily
engaged in circulating literature
opposing non union made cigars,
and a special committee has been
appointed to take charge of this
work. In a circular sent out the
Union says :

"The Cigar Trust has invaded
our city. Not one of its cigars
is made by a union cigarmaker.
Union workmen will not be em-
ployed by this Trust unless you,
the smoker, refuse to smoke the
cigar which is the product of ma
chinery and child labor. We, as
union people, believe that the father
should support the child, aud not
the child the father."

Lengel & Ernst report business
good for this time of the year, and
say that it is steadily improving.
Last month their trade exceeded
that of any previous month, and
they now have enough orders on
hand to keep them busy for some
time. Their Floradelphia, a nickel
cigar placed on the market a short
time ago, is meeting with success.

A. S. Hartman & Son have
moved their factory from the rear
of 27 South Ninth street to the rear
of their wholesale and retail tobacco
store, 809 Penn street, where they
were first engaged in the manufac-
turing business.

Latest News from York, Pa.

York, Pa., Nov. 3, 1902.
York leaf tobacco men are not
complaining these days, as the
quantity of tobacco sold from week
to week is fully up to the average
without any special boom to help
things along. The volume of busi
ness during the past week was quiet,
but steady, prices remaining firm
and unchanged. The packers and
warehousemen are getting ready
to make arrangements for the new
crop. The last cuttings will soon
be cured, and classification will
soon be in order. The weather con-
ditions have been favorable for the
curing of the 1902 crop, which is
now beyond all dangers of shed
injury, and is about ready for early
stripping. So far there is no gen-
eral buying of the crop. Here and
there a few crops are picked up
That all the tobacco grown in York
county will find its way into the
hands of the dealers later on, there
is no doubt, as the cigar product is
growing to immense proportions,
and all the good tobacco in the
county will be needed. R. D. Zech,
buying agent for S. L. Johns, is
keeping his eyes open and will be
heard from later in the season.

October, 1 902, establishes the rec
ord for receipts at the York ofifice
of the Ninth Pennsylvania Internal
Revenue District, and shows con-
clusively that there is a decided
increase in the cigar and tobacco
business, as has been declared pre-
viously in The Tobacco World.
The increase is due mainly to the
sale of cigar stamps, which is an
indication of the great improvement
and enlargement in the manufacture
of cigars, and which adds so much
to the general industrial interests of
the city of York and York county.
The total receipts for the month of

October for beer, liquor and tobacca
stamps aggregated the amount of
$115403.64. This is an increase
of $7,297.56 over the receipts for
the corresponding month of Octo-
ber, 1 90 1, and an increase over the
preceding month of September^
1902, of $5,609.00.

The York Standard Leaf Com-
pany has changed proprietors. B.
F. Abel, of Hellam, Pa., a well-
known cigar manufacturer, has pur-
chased from Mr. I. B. Hostetter a
half interest in the business, and
hereafter the business will be con-
ducted under the firm name of Hos-
tetter & Abel.

Walter Hostetter will manage the
York end of the business for the
new firm, while Mr. I, B, Hostetter
will devote his full time to the rais-
ing of "Shade Grown Sumatra,'*
and packing Pennsylvania tobacco.

Jay S. Hostetter, formerly with
this house, will engage in the leaf
business on South Water street,
dealing in Connecticut wrappers
and binders, Pennsylvania tobaccos
and " Shade Grown Sumatra,**
making a specialty of the latter.
All four of the above parties are
well known in the tobacco business,
and there is no doubt but what they
will be successful in their new^
venture.

£. P. Zercher, who has been la
the employ of Mr. Hostetter for the
past fifteen years, has gone to New
York City, where he has secured a.
position with Sutter Brothers, leaf
tobacco merchants.

The demand for York county
cigars is so great that most of the
factories in this city, Dallastown^
Red Lion, Yoe and Hanover, are
working until 10 o'clock at night.
Cigarmakers are still in great de-
mand; 500 of them could easily
find employment in the factories
in this city and vicinity if they
would put in an appearance just
now.

A strike occurred at the Yorkana
cigar factory, Alexander Dietz,
manager, last Wednesday. Forty
cigar makers demanded that they
be given an increase of two cents a
hundred for making scrap filler ci-
gars. Mr. Dietz not feeling that
business would permit the conces-
sion of the demand, courteously re-
fused to grant the measure. The
men then walked out of the factory
and held a conference. They finally
realized that they could not accom-
plish anything by prolonging the
strike, and resumed work at noon at
the old rate 18 cents per hundred.

A. KauflTman & Brother, the lead-
ing cigar box manufacturers in
York, have so many orders booked
for boxes that their factory is kept
in operation every evening during
the week until nine o'clock.

CROOKS PREY ON CIGAR MEN.

Remarkable Operations of a Spanish-Speaking Gang

in New York City.

MANUEL F. MARTINEZ THEIR CHIEF.

Resourceful and Dangerous Men, Every One of Them.

A very resourceful and dangerous
gang of Cuban, South American
and Portuguese crooks has been
operating in New York, Schenec-
tady, BuflFalo and other cities for
the past sixteen months. While
everything was grist that came to
their will, their chief victims have
generally been Cubans and Span
iards engaged in the manufacture
or sale of cigars. They understand
and have operated almost every
system of thieving known, from the
badger game to forgery, and even
up to murder. Their chief is be-
lieved to be one Manuel F. Martinez
Martinez speaks English perfectly
and Spanish with a strong Portu
guese accent. His address is said
to be gentlemanly, though not pleas
ing. He does not wear well as an
acquaintance, say those who have
known him longest and who have
suffered from his skill at roguery.
This man came to New York about
sixteen months ago. His first vie
tim, and the victim upon whom he
imposed himself for the longest
period, was the cigar manufacturing
firm of F. Rodriguez & Co., of 269
Pearl street. Martinez represented
to Mr. RodrigucE that he was the
owner of certain lands in Cuba
which were taken by the Central
Railroad Company of Cuba, of
which Sir Wm. Van Home, is presi
dent , and of whose board of directors
Levi P. Morton is a member. He
said that he was to get an award
of $18,000 from the Spanish Com-
mission for losses which he had sus-
tained through the war in Cuba
He showed documents, apparently
all properly signed and attested,
from the Commission in Wash
ington, from the Secretary of State
of the United States, and from the
Chamber of the Vice President of
the United States acknowledging
the j ustice of his claim . The paper

from the Secretary of State was
either a marvelous piece of forgery,
as the signature of John Hay at the
bottom of it undoubtedly was, or
the gang must have means of get-
ting at the stationery of Secretary
Hay. The only paper Martinez
flashed upon the members of the
firm of F. Rodriguez & Co. which
apparently aroused suspicions was
that written on the stationery of the
Vice President of the United States.
This purported to be signed by
"Victor" Hobart, and, of course,
no "Victor" Hobart has ever been
Vice President of the United States.
Martinez sought, through the use
of the papers above enumerated, to
secure a partnership interest in the
firm of F. Rodriguez & Co. The
firm, felt so confidant that their new
associate's 1 18,000 would shortly
be forthcoming that they permitted
him to draw money. During the
fifteen months he was with them he
got away with altogether $2,600 of
their funds and kept for himself,
besides, $575 which he got for some
of their cigars which he sold. More-
over, he swindled A. D. Killheftr,
proprietor of the Eureka Cigar Fac-
tory, of Millersville, Pa., out of
$750 worth of cigars which were
sent to him on his own name, but
to the address of F. Rodriguez &
Co. After Martinez disappeared
on February 12, 1902, 5,000 cigars
sent to him by Mr. Killhefer were
returned to that gentleman.

While Martinez was operating
from the premises of F. Rodriguez
&Co. he made, in his capacity of
"partner," certain remarkable state-
ments to Bradstreet's and R. G.
Dunn & Co. He was altogether a
very unusual criminal. He told a
number of people that he was a
brother of Luis and Rafael Martinez
of the well-known Martinez- Hedeta
Co., cigar manufacturers, and he

THE, TOOL OF
ALL TOOLS

As a progressive cigar maker, you are naturally
interested in the tools which will increase your output,
better its quality, and reduce its cost per thousand.

We want to assure you that the DuBrul Dieless
Suction Table is the tool of all tools — the latest and
most important development in cigar making equip-
ment.

There isn't any doubt about the value of the Suction
Table. The Suction Table is not a machine in the strict

sense of the word, but a

tool.

A machine cannpt make
good cigars. It takes brains
and that is one thing you
can't get from mechanical
source.

A machine cannot fit a
wrapper properly to the bunch,
nor put a really good head
upon a cigar. A machine does
the same thing over and over
again without regard to the
condition of the bunch, and no
two bunches are likely to be
precisely identical in size and
conformation.

To make a good cigar
you want hand-work, and the
Suction Table gives you hand-
work, done quickly and easily,
but satisfactorily. It gets more
wrappers out of the stock,
stretches them, better and en-
ables the operator to make a better looking job and put on
a wrapper that won't have pockets and won't unroll
when smoked.

The objection to Suction Tables has always been
the dies and rollers. It takes time and money to keep
a set of dies and rollers doing decent work, and, as
the tendency is always toward dullness, a certain per-
centage of wrappers will always have a white streak
at the edge, another percentage will be ruined by being

picked up by those rollers, and still another percentage
will be ruined by bad cutting on the mashed ends of
any die.

The DuBrul Dieless Table does away with all
this — removes every possible objection to a Suction
Table.

The cutting is done by a circular knife which needs
no adjustment and is easy to keep sharp. You always
get a good, clean edge. After the cutting is done, the

knife is swung back out of
the way so that the operator
can have clear sailing, just
like the ordinary board. This
induces palm-work instead of
finger-work and simplifies
cigar rolling so that the oper-
ator learns very quickly to
turn off much more and bet-
ter work than could other-
wise be done.

The increased output and
better looking cigars, and the
saving in wages soon pays
the cost of the DuBrul Table
and you have a money-maker
and a money-saver that can
always be depended upon
to do good work for you,
without constant annoyance
and distraction of the fore-
man from his duties of super-
intendence.

There may arise in your
mind certain questions you would like to have answered
about this Table. Why not write those questions as
they occur to you and send them to us ? Our answer
will interest you.

And if you won't have anything but a Die Table,
look into the merits of our machine, "die beste was
es giebt " of that kind. You can see both styles at
our office.

Murphy and Roberts of the Oak
street police station came up. The
-fighting man. who proved to be
Rodriguez, was arrested, and Saba-
,ter was taken to Bellevue Hospital.

In Mr, Menendez's office the po-
lice found four packages of cigars
which the three crooks had evi-
dently been preparing to carry off.
The cigars in them were worth
about $500. Fuenta villa escaped,
and has not yet been arrested.

Rodriguez was brought before
Justice Flammer at 2 30 o'clock on
October 31. His case was sent by
the Magistrate to the Court of Gen-
•eral Sessions. Sabater is under
guard in Bellevue Hospital.

A fifth member of the gang whose
-villainies are being related is one
A. Guzman. Guzman is at large.
He is wanted in Cuba for murder,
and in New York he has partici-
pated in burglaries, forgeries, con-
fidence games and other acts of
scoundrelism. The gang deemed
no man too poor to be robbed, but

condition of the crops of cigar leaf,
gives the following estimates: For
New Hampshire, 97 per cent., Ver
mont. 95 percent.; Massachusetts.

cent ; New York, 83 per cent.;
Pennsylvatjia, 90 per cent.; Wis
consin, 91 per cent.; Ohio, 90 per
cent.

The only fear the grower of late
tobacco has is of losing some by
freezing. The time for pole sweat
has passed, but probably many late
crops show some green leaves yet,
as well as fat stems, so good drying
weather is needful. How much
damage will result from pole sweat
we have no means of knowing, as
the growers are very reticent in
speaking of it. Our advice to those
having pole sweat leaf is to sort it
carefully out and tie it up by itself,
and not attempt to sell it with the
sound leaf. If loss or damaged leaf
is found it is the grower's loss. And
the grower or the one who buys it
has got to remove it, and the grower
can do it for half what the buyer
will do it for. We recall an instance
that we learned of last fall. A
grower of 15 acres of Havana seed
found that he had a large quantity

guez & Co., and others. One night ! of pole sweat. He had sold early

last winter they broke into the little
La Palma Spanish restaurant, on
Pearl street between Maiden Lane
and Cedar street. One of them
must be rather a good cook, for the
appearance of the kitchen the next
morning showed that he had made
a fine omelet and other dishes. The
thieves nearly wrecked the place,
and before leaving carried off every
cigar on the premises, wrapped up
in the proprietor's lace window cur-
tains.

Mr. Menendez Recovers Some
La Deidads.
The thieves who were caught in
Mendendez's place on October 25.
«old the cigars which they had
stolen on the previous raid to sa-
loon and restaurant keepers on
Third avenue. Mr. Menendez's
leading brand is La Deidad, a high
grade clear Havana cigar, which
sells at $130 a thousand. Thethieves
got $50 a thousand for them. Mr.
Menendez traced a number of boxes
to a well-known restaurant in Third
avenue between 14th and 15th
streets, where they were being re-
tailed at two for a quarter, and he
has succeeded in recovering some
of them.

The police of New York City,
however, take no very great interest

at 21C in the bundle. He realized
the conditions and set at work to
sort out the pole sweat. Then the
packer took the crop, minus the
pole sweat, at the price agreed upon.

Our correspondents write:
Conway: "I have no news to write
only buyers are looking around for
old crops, but, as they are not sam-
pled, they don't buy. Very little
stripping has been done, yet the
crop is a good one."

Hinsdale, N, H,: "Someare tak-
ing down and stripping their tobacco
and find it sound and good. There
are several lots of the 1901 crop in
the growers' hands. So far, no
buyers for the 1902 crop."

Windsor, Ct.: "Westfield packers
have recently purchased two or
three crops at about 25c in the bun ,
die, and the American Tobacco'
Company have bought eight or nine
good crops in the bundle at from 22
to 23>4c. Those who sold to this
company last year have only good
words for their honorable methjds
of dealing."

Amherst: "Quite a number of our
farmers are waiting for ttn oppor-
tunity to get their tobacco down, as
they are anxious to get it stripped

BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y.
There has been no activity in the
local market during the past week.
There have heen no sales reported of
the new crop in this section. The
American Cigar Co. during the last
o days have been buying in the
Big Flats district and are reported
as having bought 1,000 cases at
prices ranging from 9 to 13 cents in
the bundle. — Gazette.

MIAMISBURG, OHIO.

The search for remnants of the
1901 Zimmer is diligently pursued,
and occasional deliveries are still in
evidence. The manufacturer's test
has fully demonstrated the prime
quality of this crop, and local pack-
ers are experiencing a strong de-
mand for the same, several at nearby
points having recently closed out
their holdings at a satisfactory
figure.

The weather of the past few weeks
has quieted all fears of damage in
the new crop from pole rot, and
farmers will soon make preparations
for stripping.

A local buyer is announcing that
he has already contracted for a crop
of 1902 at loc for Zimmer and 8c
for seedleaf, but as his verbal report
last year was somewhat premature,
and flatly contradicted by the far-
mer, it will be prudent to accept his
latest statement with a few grains
of allowance. — News.

EDGERTON, WIS.

The buying movement is slacken-
ing up somewhat, principally be-
cause the crop is getting pretty well
gathered up in most localities, and
the hunting out of scattering lots
requires a large amount of riding
with small results. Prices hold up
well and when the quality of the
goods is considered range above
that paid for the early selections.

The balance of the 1901 crop re
maining in growers' hands is also
being quietly lifted and quite gen-
erally at prices that permit of its
being exported.

The report of the sale of a few
small packings of last year's crop
has reached us. Colony & Scofield
of Evansville, sold about 500CS to
John Brand & Co., who also bought
117CS of Edwards Bros., of McFar-
land.

There is but little change in the
condition of the cured leaf market.
F. S. Baines is credited with the
largest transactions of the week,
having sold 607CS of 1900 and 1901

ruling for the medium, good and

now housed and cured, and is a nice
brown color, will average short in

not over half of last year's crop,

cent. Buyers are examining and
locating best crops. Prices not yet

Farmers Can Not Stem, Etc.
A question was presented by a
I farmer whether he could ship his
CQ tobacco, put up in hands, and sell
it in small quantities for chewing
knd smoking purposes, provided
he should sell the tobacco himself
He was informed that a farmer or
grower is not privileged to stem,
twist, roll, plait, sweeten or other- 1
wise change the tobacco from its j
natural condition for the purpose |
of selling it to consumers, as all to
bacco so manipulated would be re
garded as a manufactured tobacco
subject to tax.

Tin Cigar Package.
A manufacturer submitted a tin
box for approval as a statutory pack-
age for packing cigars. The box
was more than g}4 inches long, 7^
inches wide and 2}4 inches deep,
and provided with a handle and
clasp similar to boxes used for legal
papers and currency , and not similar
to packages approved as substitutes
for wooden boxes for packing cigars.
It was suggested that such boxes,
if approved, would be used more as
cases that would be refilled than as
statutory boxes that could not under
the law be reused for packing ci-
gars, and the box was not approved.

Chciniuls in a Cigar Package.

An inventor forwarded for inspec-
tion by the commissioner a sample
wooden box containing twenty-five
cigars, the box being provided with
two compartments, in one of which
the cigars are placed, while a chem-
ical compound is placed in the
other. A perforated partition of tin
separates the two compartments,
and the explanation is given that
the chemical preparation isintended
to absorb the nicotine from the to
bacco, and the fact is pointed out
that as the box is provided with a
small glass or transparent mica
front the character of the contents
is clearly discernible.

The commissioner has decided
that such a package can not be ap-
proved, for the reason that the
regulations provide that the con-
tents of a statutory package must
be limited to the number of cigars
or cigarettes contained therein ex-
cept that small advertising cards,
coupons, etc., of immaterial weight
and bulk, may be packed therein.

Removing Goods to Another Factory.
A company operating several to-
bacco factories in the same district
asked permission to tax pay their
goods and remove the same from
one factory to another for shipment
with other goods. The application
was denied, and the company in-
formed that tobacco made at one
factory cannot be taken to the
bonded premises of another factory
for any purpose, and that the regu
lations (No. 8, page 34) require that
the bonded premises must be ex-
clusive and independent of other
business; that two or more kinds of
business can not be carried on at
the factory premises; that should

the company manufacture tobacco
at one factory and properly pack
and tax- pay the same and after-
wards remove it from the premises,
they would be regarded as a dealer
at the last place and could not re-
move tobacco to another bonded
factory for boxing and crating the
same with other goods for shipment,
and that manufacturers are not
privileged to use their bonded
premises for receiving, selling or
delivering tobacco made elsewhere, ^k
and that each of the several factories
operated by the company must be
operated separately and independ-
ently of the others, the same as
though each factory was operated
by a diflferent person.

Importing Snof .
An importer recently advised that
he had entered certain snuff not
properly packed in statutory quant-
ities, and asked the privilege of
paying the tax due thereon without
repacking. This shipment con-
sisted of 1,000 packages of Italian
snuff, weighing 3^ ounces per
package, or a total invoice of 226
pounds and 9 ounces. The im-
porter advised that the snuff was
consigned to him in such packages
without his solicitation. He was
advised that no objection would bft
made to his purchasing from the
collector of Internal Revenue and
affixing to each package two stamps
of the denomination of 3^^ and j4
ounces, respectively, indicatingpay-
ment of tax on 35-6 ounces of
snuff per package, and that such
stamps should be affixed to the
1,000 packages embraced in the
entire shipment; that the ruling was
special and would not apply to any
future consignments of Italian snuff,
and that manufacturers abroad
should be informed that snuff im-
ported to the United States should
be put up in packages containing a
statutory quantity of snuff, upon
which tax must be paid by the use
of a single stamp.

A Device (or Dcattoying Stamps.
An inventor advised that he pro-
posed to patent an attachment to a
cigar box which would destroy the
revenue stamp when the box is
opened, and inquired whether such
an attachment, whose only purpose
would be to destroy the stamp,
would conflict with the Internal
Revenue laws. It was advised that
the stamp affixed to a box of cigars
must not be destroyed until after
the cigars are sold and removed
from the box; that all stamps on
emptied boxes must be effectually
destroyed immediately after the ci-
gars have been removed; that the
stamp must remain intact until all
of the cigars are removed or sold,
for the reason that the absence of

BY DIVERS HANDS
Chapter XLVL THE FOOL AND THE FINANCIER.

If you will look in your book of
reference you will find that the last
of the court jesters, officially so
called, was Angeli.who was attached
to the person of his sacred majesty
Louis XIV of France. This is the
story of how Angeli lost his job,
and of how, incidentally, the king's
finance minister Colbert established
th« French tobacco regie.

For a considerable time after our
old friend Jean Nicot had made to
bacco known to the French people,
the treasury of the kingdom had
been not one centime the richer
from the spread of its consumption.
Even Louis XIV, who needed such
vast sums for the maintenance of his
palaces, his personal retinue and his
wars, had not thought to tax the
weed. Had it not been for a little
joke played upon Colbert by Angeli,
it is possible that a discovery of the
revenue- producing value of tobacco
would not have supervened in
France for a century or so after
Louis XIV's reign. One beautiful
spring morning in 1674, Colbert
came to the palace with the day's
balance sheet which he was in the
habit of exhibiting to the king. It
was a very discouraging document,
for it showed that his majesty was
hopelessly broke. The room to
which the king's finance minister
had been shown happened to be
occupied solely by Angeli. Colbert
was a very serious- minded indi-
vidual, as all ministers of finance
are prone to be, and the nod with
which he greeted the court fool was
so very curt that the quick-witted
and spirited Angeli returned it with
one still more curt, and with a frown
so black it was almost as comical as
one of his very best jests. The two
men knew each other very well, and
there was no love lost between them.
Angeli hated tobacco and Colbert
loved it. Their master, the king,
abominated the odor of tobacco
smoke. Nevertheless, smoking was
permitted in the ante-rooms of his
palace, and on the morning of our
story, Colbert was smoking the pipe
he usually smoked after breakfast
every morning.

"Where is the king, fool?" asked
Colbert.

" Where you dare not follow him ,"
answered Angeli.

"And that is?" asked Colbert.

I case the smoke from his pipe would
be blown upward to enter the room
in which the king was having his
seance with the court tailor; and the
unsuspecting Colbert fell right into
the trap. Moreover, the wind took
a malicious delight just then in help-
ing along the fool's little scheme,
for it caught up the tobacco smoke
and dashed it right into the king's
offended face. Trouble followed at
once. The king came fuming down
stairs, in one of his most august
rages, and, after soundly boxing
Angeli's cars, confronted his terror-
stricken minister of finance. He
dared not dismiss Colb«rt because
Colbert knew too much about his
finances, but he fired Angeli with-
out ceremony, and never again hired
an official jester. Angeli got a job
on a comic weekly in Paris and
originated the mother-in-law, the
summer girl, and a number of other
old favorites, which are as popular
today as when they were first
launched in Paris over two hundred
years ago.

Colbert was so pleased over the
dismissal of the jester, who had tor-
mented him so often, that he went

Palma Balks Reciprocity,

Contrary to the common under-
standing in Washington, the draft
of the Cuban Reciprocity Treaty has
not yet left Havara on its return to
Washington, but instead is now in
a pigeon- hole in the desk of Presi
dent Palma. The misunderstanding
as to the location of the treaty arose
from a report to the State Depart-
ment from Minister Squiers, at
Havana, to the effect that he ex-
pected the treaty to be dispatched
to Washington the day following
the sending of his message. Cuban
habits of procrastination rather than
any disposition to actually refrain
from entering into treaty relations
with the United States are supposed
to be the reason for the delay.

The United States Government is
ofl5cially ignorant of the nature of
the changes that the Cubans desire
to make in the convention. Of
course, generally, these are known
I to be connected with the increase of

Our Retail Department is strictly up to date.

That first impression gave.

"When I was young, and life was
fair,
I, too, had darling dreams,
I thought that heav'n would grant
each pray'r
Before each morning's beams.

"At twenty-five I had brought down
My pray'rs to only three;

A modest trio you will own —
Not one was granted me.

"My first pray'r asked the
what you

Might ask in manly part;
Make me my true love ever true;

Give her the steadfast heart.
"My second begged a simple dole

Such as each heart hath known,
Give me one friend who, hand and
soul,

Shall be my very own.

"Andthen, kind gods, whoe'eryebe,

That hearken to my pray'r,
Give me — oh, grant pray'r number
three

A uniform cigar!
"Perhaps my gods, like those of old,

Elijah overthrew.
Were sleeping when my pray'rs
were told.

Or driving in the blue;
"At any rate, I'm old and gray.

Gone all my young life's fires;
The gods refused in their wise way

Ev'n one of my desires.

'False was the girl I crown 'd my
queen ,
And falser still the friend;
But rich the lesson you may glean
From this my story's end:

"Cigars are like all humankind,

Uncertain and uneven,
And that the heart, indeed, is blind

That would ask more of heaven!"

tions that the Administration may
be willing to yield slightly on these
points if no unreasonable delay is
exhibited in the negotiations on the
part of the Cubans. The rate of re
bate proposed in the original con-
vention is 20 per cent., and it is
gathered that the Cubans want 50
per cent. That rate cannot be al-
lowed, in view of the belief that
gods Congress would not sanction such a
cut in duties, but between these
figures there is room for compro

mise.

Pipes and Cigar Holders.

According to a report just issued
by the Census Bureau in W^ashing
ton, the manufacturers of pipes and
cigar and cigarette holders, etc.,
were far more prosperous in the
census year 1900 than they were in
the census year 1890. The report
gives the following interesting de-
tails of the industry in the United
States and in each of the states:

United States. — Establishments,

Sahater and Rodriguez Held

Juan Sabater and Roberto Ortega
y Rodriguez, the two Spanish speak-
ing crooks who were arrested on
October 25 while attempting to
burglarize the place of business of
Manuel Menendez & Co. in the
Beekman building, at Ptarl and
Beekman streets. New York, were
before Magistrate Cornell in the
new Criminal Courts building on
November 5. Sabater came to
court on crutches from Bellevue
Hospital with a broken ankle. He
is a lithe young fellow, rather good
looking, with a dainty moustache
in which he evidently takes great
pride, and a pair of hands that look
to be uncommonly strong and flexi-
ble. He was remarkably self-pos-
sessed throughout the proceedings.
He is said to be a journeyman ci-
gar maker and to be always foment-
ing trouble in shops in which he
works when he is not thieving. He
was held in $2 ,000 bail for the grand
jury, which he did not furnish.

His fellow prisoner Rodriguez
was held for the grand jury in de-
fault of $1,000 bail. Rodriguez,
it turns out, is well-known to the
police of New York city. His pic-
ture is No. 3.553, in the Rogues'
Gallery at Polica Headquarters.
He was last arrested for burglary on
May 18, 1896, by patrolman Cox.
At that time he gave the name of
George Diera and said he lived at
106 East Tenth street. He also
goes by the name of Robert Orvia.
He also has a moustache, shifty
eyes and sinewy hands.

The Cadet's Cigarette,

With a right swing on the jaw,
Carrie Nation knocked down a
cadet from the South Carolina Mili-
tary Academy at Charleston, S. C,
on the morning of Nov. i, because
he was smoking a cigarette on the
street. The boy was caught by his
companions before his head struck
the pavement. He sprang to his
feet and drew back to hit the woman ,

not knowing who she was. Mrs.
Nation prepared to meet the attack.

"Come on," she said, "I am
Carrie Nation."

This stopped the cadet, and he
did not get in a blow. Friends of
the cadet refused to give his name.

TJuitormity in Smoking
Tobaccos.

AoDENRiED, Pa., Nov. 5, 1902.
Dbar Medicine Man :

The friends of The Tobacco
World, in this neck of the woods,
have debated among themselves for
a long time past the propriety of
asking you this little question:
Why is it that Frishmuth's German
label smoking tobacco is so invinci
bly entrenched in the affections of
coal miners? The people in this
section of Pennsylvania have been
smoking this brand for nearly a
century, and it is to day a greater
favorite than it was in the old times
when most of the population wf»s
German or of German extraction
Miners and mining people of all
nationalities, American, German,
English. Irish, Italian, Slav, Hun
garian, Greek, all smoke Frish
muth's German label, and almost
unanimously, to the exclusion of
all other brands of smoking tobacco
Our little circle which has deputed
to me the task of asking the modest
little question put to you above,
cannot quite understand the matter
At least, we are not all agreed on
this subject. We know, because we
smoke it ourselves, and have smoked
it ever since we were boys, that it is
very excellent tobacco and very
good value for the price at which it
is sold. We also know that we are
used to it, while all other brands
are strangers to us. But we are not
ignorant of this fact, that very fre
quently, especially of late years,
manufacturers of other brands of
smoking tobacco of precisely the
samekindas Frishmuth's, andsome-
timet put up in a style that closely
resembled — please note I do not
say " imitated "—the Frishmuth

package, have made strenuous at-
tempts to win this public from what
I maycall the Frishmuth habit Not
one of these attempts has been even
raeasureably successful. If the store-
keepers are out of Frishmuth's, as
sometimes happens in small places
like this, the smoker will either go
without smoking at all or will bor
row from some friend whose own
bupply of Frishmuth's has not run
out Once or twice an individual
smoker has tried another brand, but
he always returned to Frishmuth's
in the end a stronger devotee than
ever before. Why is this the fact?
Is there any parallel to it anywhere?

C S. S.

Answer

Pipe smokers are usually loyal
their whole life long to particular
brands, and the reason is not difl&
cult to find It is because it is
possible for manufacturers of smok-
ing tobaccos to make a uniform
piece of goods year after year. This
is certainly the secret of Frish-
muth's success. Frishmuth's Ger-
man label is unfailingly the same
and always of the highest possible
grade. Moreover, the price is so
reasonable as to make Frishmuth's
tobacco within the reach of every
pipe smoker. Besides, as all the
world knows, Pennsylvanians are
the most loyal of people. They
are as faithful to an article of mer-
chandise which once gains their
favor as they are to human friends.
The fact that smoking tobaccos
are of uniform quality, is in striking
contrast with the fact as to cigars.
Cigar smokers are forever changing
brands. The cigar which pleases
them this year will have no chance
at all next year. The reason ap
pears to be a very simple one. The
cigar goes to the smoker in all its
nakedness. Insinoklngit hesmokes
just the natural leaf as it comes out
of the ground and is cured. If the
crops were uniform from year to
year brands would be uniform too;
but crops are rarely uniform, and
even in the highest priced clear
Havana cigars, made either in Cuba
or the United States, the tmoker
has to take his chances with what
Dame Nature chooses to give him.
Cigar manufacturers do the best
they know how, but yet very few
among even the ablest and most
conscientious of them, are able to
boast patrons as loyal as was that
true devotee of whom Mr. Louis
Ash told in his chapter of the Comic
History of Tobacco recently pub-
lished in The Tobacco World.
***
Six Reasons ior Taking a
Pinch of Snuff.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 8, 1902.
Dear Medicine Man:

Many of my customers who are
snuff- takers have been interested in

previous articles in your columns on
the subject of snuff, and the arrival
of The Tobacco World in my store
is always awaited with much inter
est by these, and especially by the
older ones. One of these customers
was praising snuff taking to a young
friend who ventured to ridicule that
form of taking tobacco as being
ancient and out of date. The older
man came back at him with a very
warm defence of snuff, and the point
he dwelt upon with most emphasis
was that snufl taking was really the
only aristocratic way of payingone's
devoirs to the Tobacco God. He
rattled off a string of famous names
of eighteenth century beaux and
belles who were snuff takers that
fairly took his adversary's breath
away, and routed him completely
by reciting some verses called Six
Reasons for Taking a Pinch of
Snuff. We all thought the verses
very fine, and would be obliged if
you could publish them for us. E.b.

Answer

The following is the poem for

which my correspondent asks:

When strong perfumes, and noisome
scents.

The suffring nose invade,
Snuff, best of Indian weeds, presents

Its salutary aid.

When vapours swim before the eyes.
And cloud the dizzy brain.

Snuff, to dispel the mist, applies
Its quickenliv'ning grain.

When pensively we sit or walk,

Each social friend away,
Snuff best supplies the want of talk.

And cheers the lonely day.

The hand, like alabaster fair.
The diamond's sparkling pride.

Can ne'er so gracefully appear,
If snuff should be denied.

E'en commerce, name of sweetest
sound
To ev'ry British ear.
Must suff'ring droop, should snuff
be found
Unworthy of our care.

For ev'ry pinch of snuff we take
Helps trade in some degree.

As smallest drops of water make
The vast unbounded sea.

*
Scented Snuffs in the Eigh-
teenth Century.

A Williamsburg snuff taker asks
for some account of the scented
snuffs which were popular in Eng-
lish society during the first two de-
cades of the eighteenth century.
The general use of such snuffs at
this time is noted in a little pam-
phlet published in 1710 called The
Travels and Misfortunes of the En-
chanted Snuffbox, which appears
to be a satire on Dr. Sacheverel,
whose box is described as filled with
a snuff called Orangery . After din-
ner "the ladies all impatient for the
first pinch, put in their fingers al-
most all at once; the gentlemen
with some respect after." Agree-
able as all these scents may be, they
are generally unwholesome, and the
"disguise" in the true flavor of
the tobacco produced by such means,
gives the dishonest trader much

power of adulteration, or at least of
mixturesof bad and inferior tobacco.
It is not unusual to save the sweep-
ings of tobacco shops and ware-
houses for the purpose of mixing
in snuff. Of course in all such es-
tablishments tobacco is scattered
and falls upon the floors in the
warehouse; portions of leaf adhere
to the shoes, which are scraped in
receptacles for the purpose; it is
never wasted, but is dried and
ground down with all extraneous
matter, to put into dark colored
highly scented snuffs. This can-
not be done with light-colored pun-
gent snuffs, like high-dried Scotch,
which is made from the central stalk
of the tobacco, cut fine and ground,
and is one of the purest snuffs man-
ufactured.

Rappee may be considered as the
parent of all other snuffs: its name
smacks of agenuineorigin. Carotte,
in the same way, carries the mind
back by its name to the early part
of the seventeenth century, when
tobacco was rolled into the carrot
form, and the end of the lump
rasped as the snuff was wanted.
The Carotte was sometimes steeped
in wine or sweet liqueurs to give it
flavor.

Palillio was properly termed pul-
vilio, and is frequently mentioned
by authors of that era. It was
Portuguese snuff, in considerable
favor. The Orangery, Bergamotte,
and Jassamena took their names
from the scents they indicate as
adopted to flavor them. During
the reign of Anne, snuff taking in-
creased to a great extent, and so
did the varietiesbf mixtures, flavors,
and names. Chambers, in his En-
cyclopaedia of 1727, says: "The
kinds of snuff and their several
names are infinite, and new ones
are invented; so that it would be
difficult, not to say impossible, to
give a detail of them. We shall
only say, that there are three grand
sorts, thefirst granulated, the second
an impalpable powder, and the third
the bran, or coarse part remaining
after sifting the second sort." We
may here note a few of the principal
old court favorites: Etrenne ob-
tained its name from the custom of
presenting Louis XV. with choice
specimens of snuff, as a New Year's
offering from the various manu-
facturers, his selected choice being
adopted as the fashionable stimu-
lant for the noses of courtiers for
the year. Bureau is a snuff of the
same character, and was one of the
selected favorites of the sovereign,
which being of peculiarly good
flavor, achieved a less fleeting
popularity, and being pretty gen-
erally used in the cabinet of the
politician, became known by the
French name thereof.

A great impetus to the habit of
snuff- taking was given in 1702.

The English fleet under the com
mand of Sir George Rook captured
at Port Saint Mary near Cadiz,
several thousand barrels of choice
Spanish snuflF, along with other
plunder. On returning by Vigo
they also obtained native snuflf from
Havana destined for the Spanish
market. This very large quantity
of snuflF was sold at the principal
seaports, as "prizes," for the bene
fit of oflficers and crews, with the
usual carelessness of sailors in bar
gaining with "land sharks," to the
quickest purchasers, and wagon-
loads were parted with at the rate
of four- pence per pound! It was
christened "Vigo snuflF," and the
popularity of the war, the name of
the snuflF, and the novelty of ex-
cessive cheapness combined to in-
duce a very general use of it.

All is Activity in Havana.

The Havana market during the
week closing November i has been
very animated, indeed, and sales
foot up 8,400 bales, not including a
large transaction of close on to 3,-
000 bales which is said to have
taken place, half in the city of
Havana and the other half in the
country. The details are not yet
known in Havana. Of the above
8,400 bales, 5 000 bales were Vuelta
Abajo factory vegas and colas for
cigarette purposes, 2,500 Partido
and 900 bales Remedios. Accord-
ing to destination United States
buyers took 4,500 bales, Europe
500 bales, and the balance of 3 400
bales was taken by Havana cigar
and cigarette manufacturers. Prices
unchanged, or if anything higher
rather than lower for factory vegas
and fine aromatic fillers The stock
of Partidos is now so reduced that
it is stated less than 2,500 bales are
still unsold, and these are held by
perhaps four or five houses only,
Vuelta Abajo botes and unstrippable
colas are, however, abundant, and
prices for such goods are low in
comparison with former years. Re-
medios has not yet begun to move
on a large scale, still the stocks are
not excessive.

The 1903 Crop.

Unfortunately the reports of dam-
age done by excessive rainstorms in
the country are confirmed in the
main, although a few exceptions are
to be noted here and there. Don
Adolfo Moeller says that his seed
beds were saved from destruction
only because he had regular covers
made from the tents of the American
soldiers, and they being waterproof
and spread over the beds, the water

ran oflF without doing any damage.
However, as he will need all his
seedlings for his own farms ' ' Hevia ' *
and "Iberia," other farmers cannot
take any advantage of his foresight.
Don Luis Marx also says that only
half his plantings were lost, there-
fore, the other half would give him
a temprano crop, barring further
accidents. Don Cayetano Perez, of
Guira, claims to have lost only »o,-
000 plants, while 400,000 "matas"
had already attained such a growth
that the rain did not injure them.

Don Gustavo Bock aovr a Large Landed
Proprietor.

The news that Don Gustavo
Bock had purchased 2,000 caballe-
rias, or, say, nearly 67,000 acres of
land in the well known Remates
section, leaked out a few days ago,
and has given rise to numerous con-
jectures whether he actually means
to cultivate this vast property in his
own interest, or whether he only
took title deeds in his own name as
a speculation and would be open to
transfer them for a handsome con-
sideration possibly to the Havana
Tobacco Co. or otherwise to an
English syndicate which is said to
be forming in Havana for the pur-
pose of acquiring Cuban lands and
which is to be capitalized with ^5,-
000,000. Don Gustavo left on the
steamer Mexico November i, for
London via New York and nothing
further is to be learned at present.
It is rumored that his sudden call
to London is connected with the
control of the cigars of the Henry
Clay and Bock & Co. Ltd. in Eng-
land, where it seems the large firm
of Lange & Butler, who do an ex-
tensive cigar commission business,
and besides being manufacturers of
cigars and tobacco and belonging to
the Imperial Tobacco Co. are now
striving to get the sole control of
the cigars of the Henry Clay and
Bock & Co. Ltd. It is doubted in
Cuba, however, whether Don Gus-
tavo Bock would be influenced to
sacrifice the numerous commission
houses in Havana and the highly
valued connection of Wm. Klingen-
stein & Co. in London to please the
allied interests of the American and
British syndicates, unless some sort
of compromise might be reached to
favor Lange & Butler eventually to
some extent, without injuring the
other parties' interests. Time will
tell the outcome of this new unfore-
seen dilemma. Might it not be
possible that Don Gustavo Bock,
foreseeing the immense pressure
brought to bear upon him and.
which eventually could make his
directorship of the Henry Clay and

Bock & Co so full of annoyances
here and there that he mi^ht resign
the latter and give all his energy
and push to his newly acquired
property in the Vuelta Abajw? The
latter is producing now 50 000 bales
per year but as only one eighth of
the whole is cultivated in tobacco
purposes, there is no doubt that
with proper scientific treatment and
economical management fully double
this quantity, if not more, could be
raised easily enough in a favorable
season With the exception of the
property of Don Ramon Cifuentes,
which could not be bought, as well
as the lands of Don Gregorio Pala-
cio, which are said to consist chief
ly of low growth pines, lagunas and
barren sand, therefore unsuitable
for tobacco raising, Don Gustavo
Bock is now virtually "El Amo" of
the Remates district, as the property
which belongs to Viuda de Jose
Gener, being unsalable owing to a
testamentory clause, was leased by
him for six years to come.

Havana Cigar Factories.

Strikes have broken out in several
factories. Some were settled and
others are still in progress. Among
the former may be named Calixto
Lopez & Co., while Villar y Villar
and Ecuador are still out, and it is
said that the cigarmakers are
threatening to extend the "huclga"
to all the factories of the Havana
Commercial Co., which should be
deplored, as the present rush of
orders will stop soon enongh from
natural causes and then the cigar-
makers would be the biggest losers.
How unreasonable some people are
is cited by the Henry Clay and Bock
& Co., which paid to a few cigar-
makers as high as $90 per 1,000,
and now the latter insists upon % • 00
per 1,000. As only a very small
quantity of this size (perhaps not

over 20 000) are sold annually, the
company would rather cease mak-
ing this size than pay higher wages
to their men H. Upmann & Co.
are again shipping 1,100,000 cigars
by the steamer Mexico leaving
November i. The Sol factory is
hard at work, go much so that Don
Carlos Behrens hardly knows where
to turn first. Don Ramon Cifuentes,
of "La Flor de Partagas" says the
same, also that he is cramped in his
large factory, as his orders are to
make 30,000 cigars daily at least,
and that the building was not in-
tended to make more than 20,000
daily. The cigars of this factory
are regaining their former reputa-
tion as being among the best pro-
duced in the island.

Suarez & Co received during the
week ended November i, a check
for $1 ,200,000 from the Havana To-
bacco Co. (or the balance of what
was due them, as they had previ-
ously received a large sum on ac-
count) to pay in full for their brand
Flor de J. S. Murias, and which
includes the good will, brands, stock
on hand and fixtures. Don Eduardo
Suarez remains at the head of this
factory for the new owners, and this
will insure a continuance of the
work being done as conscientiously
as heretofore. Shipments of cigars
by the steamer Mexico over 4 500,-
000 notwithstanding the damp
weather the past week.

Rabell, Costa, Vales & Co.— Upon
October 31 Don Juan Perez Diaz,
one of the foremen in the Ramon
Allones factory, who also had an
interest in the business, died sud-
denly of heart disease. He was
buried on November i. While he
was a valued employe and highly
esteemed by his firm, the latter will
not suffer on account of his sudden-
taking off, and the Cruz Roja will
continue as heretofore. Smokers
of the famed Ramon Allones and
Marquis de Rabell brands will re-
ceive their favorite cigars without
any interruption.

The Cranz Sumatra Covers.

Mr. Ewald Cranz, the resident
European member of the well
known Sumatra firm of F. & E.
Cranz, of Amsterdam and New
York, is the inventor and patentee
of a new and very practicable method
of packing Sumatra tobacco. This
device, for which a patent has been
applied for in the United States,
consists of two very strong galvan-
ized iron covers fitting over the
bale and brought together by two
iron straps which can be adjusted
as desired. The covers are very
strong with reinforced corners.
The contents are secure from dam-
age even from the roughest hand-
ling, and besides have the benefit
of a free circulation of air, which
is not the fact where wooden cases
are used. Thus the sweating and
consequent darkening of the leaf
are obviated. The Cranz Sumatra
covers are of uniform weight and
about seven pounds lighter than
wooden cases They do not have
to be made to measure, as the ad
jastable straps insure a perfect fit
in every case They may be used
over and over again, and a bale
from which samples have been
taken may be quickly and thor-
oughly repacked. The covers be-
ing of uniform weight, the tare is
readily computed. The three great
advantages claimed for the Cranz
Sumatra covers are that they insure
the leaf absolutely from danger of
breakage, secondly their compact-

suming that the New York Supreme
Court's decision cannot be attacked,
it will be interesting to the tobacco
people of that state who make ship

reasons. And further, assuming
that the same law will be applied
in due time in all the states, the
various importers, dealers and man-

better safe guarded in their express

The Long Clay Pipe,

It is curious how the long clay
pipe has dropped out of usage, says
the London Chronicle. But its tra-
dition lingers. Recently an Amer
ican, dining at a Fleet street inn
which trades on its survival, called
for a long clay and smoked it in the
belief that he was doing in London
as London does. But the man who
wants to buy long clays would be
puzzled where to find them. Yet,
thirty years ago there was not a
provincial town without its shop
devoted exclusively to the sale ot
specially manufactured clay pipes,
and the business was a flourishing
one. The long clay, of course, is
a serious thing, and, unlike the ci
garette, can not be combined with
walking or writing. That, perhaps,
is the explanation of its present dis
favor with smokers.

THE SUCCESS OF DEMPSEY & KOCH.

Dempsev & Koch's Leader.

The firm of Dempsey & Koch,
cigar manufacturers, which suc-
ceeded the firm of Auer & Dempsey
on August 1 8th last, is composed
of Edward R Dempsey and Alfred
S. Koch. Since taking charge of
the business, which is located at
201, 203 and 205 Race street, Phil
adelphia, Messrs. Dempsey & Koch
have made a number of improve
ments, which have been of great
benefit in extending the trade of the
house They enlarged their capa-
city so that fully one hundred and
fifty hands can be employed and at
present one hundred skilled work-
men are upon the pay roll. The
increasing demand for the products
lof the factory is necessitating the

twelve sizes, with a Havana filler
and Sumatra wrapper. Another of
the firm's makes, the Consumo, is
manufactured in four sizes, and has
also met with deserved approval in
this market It has already at-
tained merited reputation as a lead-
ing scent cigar.

Messrs. Dempsey & Koch are
young men and pronouncedly
hustlers, with a thorough knowl-
edge of the tobacco and cigar busi-
ness as well as being possessors of
the happy faculty of quickly mak-
ing and retaining business friends
and patrons. They believe in the
merit of printers' ink, and having
excellent goods, which they have
properly advertised, they are meet-
ing with decided success. The ac-
companying illustration shows the
box label of their leader, the Wil-
liam M. Bunn.

taking onof additional hands almost
every week, so it is pretty safe to
predict that ere long the full force |
of one hundred and fifty will be em-
ployed.

Messrs. Dempsey & Koch have
five salesmen in Philadelphia and
three in the South and West. In
addition Mr. Koch is also looking
after the trade in the South The
brands for which the firm is noted
are the William M. Bunn and Del
Puente. The William M. Bunn is
their leader, and is a clear Havana
made in fourteen sizes. It is found
at the best and leading oigar standi
and hotels in Philadelphia, and has
secured a decided favor among the
critical consumers. The Del Puente

A Camden Tobacco Man
Honored,

John S. Roberts, for years a lead-
ing dealer in tobaccos, at Camden,
N. J., was elected a member of the
New Jersey Assembly on November
4. Mr. Roberts was a Councilman
of Camden for years, and has done
his share to aid the prosperity of
the city. He has a legion of friends
who will be glad to learn of his ele-
vation to the Assembly. If there is
anything Mr. Roberts can do to ad-
vance the interests of the tobacco
trade in his new position, it is quite
likely he can be depended upon to
give the matter very careful atten-
tion.

A Lucky Hump.

K. Straus & Co. have found that
•* moving house " is anything but
delightful and yet, now that their
new quarters at Third and Vine
streets are almost in " good ship
shape," they are feeling correspond
ingly good-natured and pleased that
the worst of the moving is over.
The fact that this well known firm
was compelled to move to larger
quarters is a sure sign that business
has prospered with the house. At
the new location the best improve-
ments for handling tobaccos quickly
and well have been put in, as well
as all modern improvements for the
safe and expeditious transaction of
a large volume of business.

" We had good luck in moving,"
said one of the salebmen to the
World reporter. " We never lost
or broke a thing and, do you know,
I ascribe it to this fact : The day
we started moving a humpbacked
man came into the warehouse to
borrow a chew of tobacco and I
touched bis hump with my hand
and Mr. Straus gave him a nickel.
Trade ? Oh, trade is good, my
boy. Come in again."

Western Trade Good.

received reports of good business in

the West is that of Labe & Sons
They are busy filling orders for
Sumatra and Havana.

MB Arndt.salesman with Julius
Hirschberg & Bro , left last Mon
day night for the West. Mr. Arndt
will go as far as Chicago and Kansas
City and put in from three to four
weeks visiting the trade in that part
of the country. Mr. Arndt's last
trip was a very successful one and
no doubt the one he is now on will
be also.

Another Removal
Harvey D. Narrigan & Co , the
wholesale dealers at 617 Arch
street, are vigorously pushing ahead
their arrangements to remove to
116 North Sixth street. The firm
will occupy the whole building at
the latter number, and will have
far larger and more agreeable quar
ters in every way. Mr. Narrigan
reports trade good and the future
promising.

He Likes the West
Mr. Henry Mills, the bustling
Western salesman for Vicente Por-
tuondo, left Monday night for an-
other business trip to the West.
He will go as far west as Denver,
and, of course push trade in his
usual energetic way. Mr. Mills'
recent trip west was one of the

most successful he has ever made
He states he opened up twenty five
new accounts for his house and did
extra well with all of his old patrons .
"I feel satisfied," said Mr. Mills,
speaking to a World reporter,
'* that houses such as I am repre-
senting can hold their own in the
West against any and all trusts — no
matter what the latter may do. The
western people want good cigars,
and are able and willing to pay for
them. The house that can meet

promises to continue so."

Mr. Jeitlks in the West.

Samuel C. Jeitles, of Jeitles &
Blumenthal, is on a business and
pleasure trip in the West. He has
been gone about a week and reports
that business is good. He will
probably return home early next
week. He will go as far west as
Kansas City.

At the firm's cigar factory on
North Randolph street, everything
is running along smoothly. The
factory is unusually busy with regu-
lar orders — in fact, they have about
all they can do for awhile. The
holiday orders promise to be numer-
ous and heavy, too.

Tag. Tag.
The Florodora Tag Co., which

is doing all it can to make house-
wives, smokers and others happy by
presenting them with useful, orna-
mental and sensible souvenirs, will
shortly remove from South Third
street to new and larger quarters at
602 Arch street. "Straws show
which way the wind blows. ' ' When
a firm moves you can make up your
mind business is prospering and that
it needs more "elbow room."

Home Again.

Leopold Loeb & Co report that
they have been disposing of a num-
ber of their Sumatra holdings and
report business good generally.

Leopold Loeb arrived safely home
from his Havana trip and reports a
successful journey in every way.

He Wanted One, Too.

J. S. Vetterlein, of the Vetterlein
Bros.' large factory, left November
4th for a Southern trip. He will be
gone at least two weeks and will pay
more or less attention to the holiday
trade. Mr. Vetterlein, who has
been a very busy man, will en-
deavor to secure well deserved re-
creation and rest on the trip also.

A. Boyd Wilson, one of the firm's
Western representatives, is on a
usual visit to the West and will be
gone six weeks. He will go as far
as Chicago.

with the Vetterlein factory took
place Monday noon, just as the
World reporter was entering the
portico, to "gather the news items
from the office folks" A pleasant
faced man, bearing the earmarks of
the typical farmer, came slowly up
the street with all of the actions of
one who has visited a "firewater
castle" and is perfectly heedless of
the consequences. Pointing up at
a sign hung from the factory, the
youthful hayseed pathetically said:
"Lookee. 'Girl Wanted.' By gosh!
that's my trouble, too. I wanted
Sal as bad as could be — but I didn't
get her. But dinged if I hung a
sign out on the' barn saying so !"

And, unconscious of the fact that
the factory was advertising for ad
ditional female help, the half seas

over Corntossel meandered on.

day and was wholly an impromptu
and pleasant one. While it was
known by Charley's friends that he
could play a pretty comfortable
chess game, they did not think he
was able to go up against the noted
Professor — not only go up against
him, but worst him. An ex
cellent salesman and an excellent
chess player are two good points in
Mr. Martinez's favor that he has
cause to be proud of.

New York Retailers Or-
ganize,

A bigger meeting of revolting
retail tobacconists of Greater New
York than the mass meeting at Bo
hemian Hall, on October 31, was
held at Maennerchor Hall, in East
56th street on the evening of
November 1 1 . The report of the
Committee on Organization was
formally received.

A recommendation that the re
tailers be organized into district
organizations, corresponding in size
with Assembly Districts was laid
over for future action.

President Freeman got an enthus'
astic and unanmous affirmative re-
sponse from the 300 people present
j to his question:

j "Are you willing to join the Re-
tail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers' As
sociation of Greater New York for
mutual protection?"

A committee on enrollment was
appointed, consisting of Messrs
Donigan, Streane.Frieder, St John,
Lane, Silverstone and Kasdan.

A large number of new members
was enrolled. The annual dues are
$2.

S. W. Roth, of the Retailers'

Journal of Chicago, told of the
work that is being done in Chicago.
He predicted that the retailers of
New York would win their fight.
He was thanked for his address by
a standing vote

E V D. Paul, of the Universal
Tobacco, was greeted with applause,
when he arose and told the meeting
of his company's readiness to help
the retailers in their fight.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand-work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Reading, Pa., Nov. 8, 1902
Cigar manufacturers in this dis
trict are enjoying an era of great
prosperity at present. The firm of
Bondy & Lederer, at Allentown,
which is one of the largest in this
district, expects to turn out over
2000,000 this year. All of the
manufacturers here are behind in
their orders and there is a great
demand for stamps at the revenue
oflBce.

The patrons of J. Luther Good-
hart's cigar store, 645 Penn Street,
held a variety supper on last Satur
day evening at Schubert's hall, to
raise money to defray the funeral
expenses of "Blind Tom" Heilman,
who died in Scranton last week,
formerly a familiar character about
the place.

Morris M. Ruth, who conducts
a cigar store at Schuylkill ave. and
Douglass street, has returned from
an extensive visit to California. He
was accompanied by his wife.

Harvey Trumbore, cigar sales
man, disposed of over 10,000 cigars
at Lynnport last week. He reports
business very good.

T. J. Dunn & Co., cigar manu-
facturers of Boyertown, made two
shipments last week, aggregating
550,000 cigars. The firm is very
busy at present, and has put a num-
ber of additional hands to work.

A. R. Orth, proprietor of the Post
Oflficc cigar factory and cigar store,
and manufacturer of the Pompey , one
of the leading nickel brands here,
has placed a new brand on the
market, styled 37 North 5th 5 cent
cigar, which is meeting with suc-
cess. Mr. Orth is very busy at
present and his output this year will
double that of last year.

the cigar business good. For the
second time in months the receipts
from cigar stamps were heavier
than those for beer. The cool
weather has cut down the output of
the latter.

Charles Fleck, of the Fleck Ci
gar Company, has returned from
one of the most successful trips he
has ever made through the coal
regions. He leceived orders for
over 100,000 cigars, chit fly his
Eastern Buflfalo and Smoke House
brands. He says that everybody
wants their goods shipped first, and
that it is almost impossible to get
out the many orders. The firm is
experiencing considerable diflBculty
in securing cigarmakers and strip
pers. Never before was there a
larger working force employed
The factory is working over time
four nights in the week. The firm
recently placed their new brands,
the Royal Rob and the City Elk, on
the market. Both are done up in
handsome packages in five or more

brisk. He has plenty of orders on
hand and says business and collec-
tions were never better. He em
ploys a full force of hands, and
large shipments of his leading
brands are made daily.

W. W. Reigel's factory, at Third

working on full time and with an
increased force of hands. Large
orders are constantly coming in and
there is a large demand for the

LANCASTER'S REPORT.

Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 11, 1902.

A fairly good business was ex-
perienced by the leal dealers here
during the past week.

W. DeHaven & Co. have sold 400
cases to Young & Newman of Phila-
delphia; a good sized sale was also
made by Meiskey & Heiland of 1901
goods. Other fair-sized transactions
were made by I. H. Weaver, Jacob
Mayer, John D. Skiles, P. L Lea-
man & Co., and broker John Baus-
man. The cigar industry seems to
be in a fairly prosperous condition
throughout the county.

S. R. Moss' new annex will soon
be completed, and will make his
factories not only the largest, but
the most complete in point of detail
of any in the county.

Mr. B. Bloomer, acting for his
mother, Mrs. Ada B. Bloomer, is
offering for sale the property of the
Havana Cigar Co., of this city, of
which Mrs. Bloomer is the owner.
A foreign attachment has been issued
by her against Jas D Law to re-
cover personal property valued at
$t,5co. Mr. Law was for two or
more years the manager of the busi-
ness, but at present is visiting Scot-
land, of which country he is a
native.

S. R. Moss has secured a ver-
dict for $2,400 against Conradi
& Goldberg, Jeaf dealers, of San
Francisco, Cal . , to whom he alleged
he had sold 16,544 pounds of tobacco
at 14 cents per pound, and for which
he had not been paid. The defend-
ants claimed that the tobacco was
to have been of the 1898 crop, but
that it was of the 1899 crop, and
that they had therefore refused it
and returned it to Mr. Moss.

Stein vs. Theobald &
Oppenheimer Co.

The general Term of the New
York City Court has affirmed the
judgment of the trial court in the
breach of contract suit of Stein vs.
Theobald & Oppenheimer Co. The
decision of the court is as follows:

"We think the judgment entered
herein is correct and should be af-
firmed . The action is for the breach
of a contract upon the part of the
defendant, who employed plaintiff^
as their broker in the purchase of a
certain lot of tobacco, and as pleaded
was amply proven in our opinion.
The claim that there was no con-
sideration for the agreement in suit
is untenable. While it is true that
an express promise to pay for past
services rendered without a request
is void for want of consideration, it
must be borne in micd that here
consideration is based not only on
past services but on services in
futuro thereafter actually performed.
The plaintiff cannot therefore be
put in the category of a volunteer
rendeiing services without request
and then claiming pay for the value
thereof. We are unable to discover
the commission of any errors on the
trial hereof which call for a reversal
of the judgment It follows, there-
fore, that the judgment and order
appealed from should be affirmed
with costs."

Nichols & Bacon, with Morton
Stein, as counsel, for plaintiff; Ein-
stein, Townsend. Guiterraan &

Shearn, with Milton S. Guiterman,
as counsel, for defendants.

Licorice Plant Burned.

The McAndrews & ForbesCompany,
Camden, Lose Almost $1,000,000.

The $1,000,000 fire in Camden
last Saturday seriously damaged,
among other plants, the shed and
wharf of the McAndrews & Forbes
Licorice Company, a business firm
well known in the tobacco world
The burned shed and wharf was
360 feet long by 60 feet wide, and
in the shed at the time of the fire
were 120,000 bundles of licorice
root, valued at $840,000. The
-wharf which was destroyed was
valued at $80,000. By quick and
earnest efforts the firemen and fire
boats succeeded in saving the steam-
ship Conwaig, on which were 3 500
tons of licorice root, which was
towed to midstream from the com
pany's wharf.

The McAndrews & Forbes is one
of the largest licorice root handling
companies in the world. The lie
orice is extensively used in the
manufacture of medicinal licorice,
cut plug and smoking tobaccos and
various drugs.

The total loss of the company is
estimated at $920,000, and is fully
covered by insurance. Officials of
the company state that the plant,
which was located on the Delaware
xiver at the foot of Jefferson street,
will be rebuilt. The Camden Whit
ing Company and the Nonpareil
Cork Company, other losers by the
fire to the extent of about f 100,000,
will also rebuild. Their losses are
covered by insurance.

Of Interest to Employers.

The General Term of the New
York City Court on November 3
<lecided a question of law which is
of interest to every man who em
ploys salesmen on a commission
basis. The facts are these: A firm
of trouser manufacturers of New
York City employed one Innes as a
traveling salesman on a commission

of 7)4 per cent., payable 60 days
after the delivery of the merchan-
dise, and agreed to pay one-half of
his traveling expenses, the latter to
be advanced as needed. Innes owed
his employers $750 advanced as
traveling expenses under the agree
ment above mentioned at the time
he left their employment. The
trouser manufacturers sold their
claim for the $750 to a third party
who sued Innes in the New York
City Court for the recovery of the
amount. The unanimous opinion
of the three judges was that he
could not recover. The point which
is of interest to all employers of
salesmen on a commission basis is
that advances made to such sales
men are at the risk of those making
them. In other words pay nothing
until it has been earned in the shape
of commissions.

Advertising Thermometers.

This is the season of year when
enterprising cigar manufacturers
and leaf dealers are looking about
for holiday advertising novelties
Thermometers in the shape of a to
bacco leaf or a cigar are always in
order. The R. Hoehn Co., of 80
and 82 Chambers street. New York,
of the famous Red Cross trademark,
makes a complete line of such goods,
and numbers among its patrons
some of the largest leaf dealers and
cigar manufacturers in the United
States. The R. Hoehn Company
will be pleased to correspond with
the trade on this subject.

I^eon I,. Strause Fails.
Leon L- Strause, a large leaf to
bacco dealer of Richmond, Va.,
filed a petition in voluntary bank
ruptcy in the United States District
Court there on November 5. His
liabilities are scheduled at $300,599,
and his assetts at $455,543. This
is the largest failure that has oc-
curred in Richmond since the
national bankruptcy law went into

Death of Raphael Teller.

One of the oldest, if not the oldest
tobacco merchant in the United
States, Raphael Teller, died Mon-
day, November 3d, at the home of
his son-in-law, Abe Schlessinger,
722 North Sixth street, Philadel
phia. A brief sketch of the life of
the deceased follows:

Raphael Teller was born in Ba-
varia, Germany, in July, 1820. When
but a boy he entered a tobacco house
at Manheim Germany, and began
learning the rudiments of the to
bacco business; his subsequent
career proved that he learned the
details of the trade thoroughly and
well. Mr. Teller came to Philadel
phia in 1844 and at once engaged in
the tobacco business under the firm
name of R Teller & Co. , having an
oflfice on Fourth street, below Vine
In 1857 the firm name was changed
to Teller, Anathan & Co., and the
business was removed to Third and
New streets; subsequently It was
removed to larger quarters at 117
North Third street. During the
war • * Colonel ' ' Tel ler also conducted
business at 117 North Broad street.
Mr. Anathan dying in 1870, the
business was continued under the
firm name of Teller Bros, until 1900,
although in 1886 the subject of this
sketch retired from active business,
leaving his brothers and others to
continue the large business of the
firm.

Mr. Teller, in 1844, was united in
marriage to Louise Mayer, a direct
descendent of one of the first Na
poleon's marshals. Mrs. Teller died
in 1880. They are survived by two
sons, Benj F. and Jacob Teller,
three daughters, Mrs. Ellis Silver
stein, Mrs. Abe Schlesinger and
Mrs- Philip Kohn, and eleven grand
children.

At the time of his death Mr.
Teller was the oldest member of the

The Late Raphaei, TEr.i,ER.

Rodef Shalom Congregation, of
which his son, Benjamin F. is the
president. He was also a member
of the I. O. B. B., Keystone Chap-
ter F. and A. M , Harmony Club
and the Mercantile Club

The deceased was noted for his
kind and generous disposition; he
was a generous contributor to num-
erous charitable organizations and
was held in high esteem by an un-
usually wide circle of friends and
relatives.

The funeral, held Wednesday

last, was conducted by Rev. Henry

Berkowitz and was attended by

many relatives and friends. The

interment was made at Mt. Sinai
cemetery.

"Col. Teller," as Mr. Teller was
fondly known for years in the to-
bacco trade, will be greatly missed
for his kindly ways and enterprising
business activity.

The large tobacco house founded
by Mr. Teller is now conducted by
his brother, David, his son, Jacobs
and his nephew, Louis Teller.

W. W, Kuhtt Re-Mlected.

W. W. Kuhn, a well known ci-
gar man of New Brunswick, N. J.,
was elected recorder of Middlesex
county on November 4. This pres-
ent term will be Mr. Kuhn 's second
in office.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

THIS IS IMPOR=
TANT TO YOU

There are a good many cigar makers
who cling to obsolete methods on account
of what they call the expense of making changes
and getting on a modern basis.

As a matter of fuct, this isn't a question
of expense at all. Do you call it an expense
to pay somebody for making your clothes
instead of doing it yourself? It is simply a
question of having things done for you cheaper
and better than you can
do them yourself.

This is precisely what
modern cigar making tools
and equipment do for you.

The fact is that the
right sort of tools pay for
themselves in a short time
by increasing both the
quantity and quality of the
output and by reducing
the cost per thousand :
thus they become more
than self-supporting.

The DuBrul Dieless
Suction Table is a case in
point.

This table will soon
pay for itself and go on
making money for you
year in and year out.

We still continue making tables with dies
and rollers, but we submit this Dieless Table to
the trade as the ultimate success of years of
effort to produce a really perfect, satisfactory
and efficient method of rolling cigars.

The elimination of dies and rollers and
their annoying and intricate mechanism is an
important step forward.

This table is simplicity itself and on this
account is welcomed by the operator with open
arms.

it does its work better than any table
with dies can possibly do.

It increases the output because it enables
the operator to do more work and the work is
much easier to learn than on any other table.
It produces better goods because the wrap-
per is cut with a knife,
giving a clean cut f^i.h^e
instead of a mashing cut
Q(.h^e with a white streak.
Every die will leave a
streak, and that streak
won't do on "Clear
Havanas." Further, be-
cause there are no dies
in the wav with their
attendant complications
and care, the operator
has free action and is
able to turn off a far
better looking cigar.

These are some of the
reasons why the DuBrul
Dieless Suction Table
ought to be installed on
your premises .-it the
earliest possible moment.
There are other reasons and other facts
which we should like to give you.

it will pay you to open correspondence with
us in regard to this Table, and if not about this
one, let us hear from you about our Die Table,
the best in the business We

exhibit both styles at our offices.

"UNCLE SOL."

Hamburger Bros. & Co's. veteran
traveler, "Un^^le Sol" Hoffheimer,
is just now making his last 190.'
trip through his Pennsylvania terri-
tory.

Mr. Hoffheimer is one of the
oldest and best known leaf sales-
men now traveling in Pennsylvania.
He has been connected with the
house of Hamburger ever since
1878, and for over twenty years has
made Pennsylvania his special field

Prior to 1878 he had been for a
number of years a traveler for the
old whiskey house of Lediard &
Townsend. He says, jestingly,
that he made the change because he
got tired of free whiskey, and felt
sure he should like free cigars much
better.

Mr. Sol. Hoffheimer.

Just before leaving New York oa
November 5 for his final 1502 round
up in Pennsylvania, Mr. Hoffheimer
was asked what he thought of the
future from the standpoint of a leaf
salesman.

"I am no prophet," he said,
laughingly, "but you see my grip
is packed and I can assure you I
am just as careful to day as I was
when I started out on my very first
trip, 'way back in 1878. I have
accumulated a vast fund of exper-
ience, I know thoroughly the trade
upon which it is my duty to call,
and I am able to assure my cus-
tomers that the stock represented
by my samples is complete in every

line and excellent in every partic-
ular.

A U. C. S. Co. Fight in the
Mast.

The United Cigar Stores Com-
pany which opened cigar stores in
Taunton, Fall River and New Bed
ford, Mass., and in Providence,
Pawtucket and Woousocket, R. I ,
during the last week in October,
under the management of Wise
Bros., is having a big fight with the
regular retailers of those cities, the
latter being backed by the Cigar
makers' Union, the Shoemakers'
Union, the Carpenters' Union, and
other bodies of organized labor,
which are very strong in all the
New England states.

The opposition to the United Ci-
gar Stores Company was organized
at a meeting held in Taunton on
October 18, and is made up prac
tically of all the retail tobacconists
in the six cities mentioned above
Not one of these will hereafter sell
any piece of goods at cut rates.
Among those in Taunton who are

most active in the fight are Charley
Dean, Mrs. J. Helt & Co , C. Cole-
man, C. Kelliher, Cy. Carpenter and
the big retail drug firm of Cobb,
Bates& Yerkes. The last mentioned
firm used to sell Harvards at 7
cents and the nickel leaders at 4
cents each, but will do so hence-
forth never again.

Latest News from York, Pa.

York, Pa., Nov. 10, 1902.
The volume of business trans-
acted in the York leaf tobacco mar-
ket last week was below the average,
due, no doubt, to the election last
Tuesday. There has been little or
no change in conditions. The to-
bacco packers have buyers out
through thp country districts ex-
amining and locating the best crops.
A number of growers in the vicinity
of Faron Grove have sold their to-
bacco on the poles at prices ranging
from » to 8 cents.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

The superb weather for stripping
tobacco has been and is being im-
proved wherever the other pressing
fall work will permit. The heavy
rainfall of October 22, when almost
three inches of water fell, and the
damp spells following, must have
kept the crop in case and ready to
come down. Care should be taken
to avoid taking down when it is
too moist, and growers should also
avoid sprinkling their leaf for, in
the majority of cases, they injure
their crops instead of benefiting
them. So we again reiterate our
repeated warning. There is one
other matter that we want to call
to the attention of the growers, viz.,
the sales in the trade papers can
only refer to the open sales in the
market. A large portion of the
sales are made by the traveling
agents, who range to all parts of
the country with samples, thus sup
plying the manufacturers with stock
that is never reported, and when
oily tongued buyers refer to the
light sales to show a light demand,
they are trying to buy your crop at
a low price. It is reported that the
American Cigar Company have pur-
chased one million dollars worth of
the present Wisconsin tobacco crop

Our correspondents write:

Williamsburg: "Quite a quantity
of tobacco was taken from the poles
at the late damp spell, and the nice
sunny days of the Indian summer
have enabled the men to strip and
bundle the leaf with a good degree
of comfort. The leaf is sound and
of light color. No sales so far as I
know."

Enfield: Cans & 8on, of New
Yoik, and Hinsdale Smith Com-
pany purchased a number of lots of
the new crop of tobacco, to be de
livered in the bundle. The prices
ranged from 17 to 22c; they aver-
aged over 20."

Hazzardville: "Considerable to-
bacco has been taken from the poles
and stripped the past week. It is
a very fine crop. I hear of a few
sales in Shaker Village and at El-
lington, but am unable to give the
prices obtained. — American Culti-
vator.

iu the growers' hands. Several
small shipments were made during^
the week from the warehouses and
200 cases were shipped from here
Monday by the Syracuse Cigar and
Tobacco Co. to Julius Marquisee,.
at Lancaster, Pa. — Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.

A moderate movement of the new
crop continues and buyers seem
determined to keep up their riding
so long as any portion of the crop
remains unsold. Since the casing
weather has arrived buyers are
active again and large inroads are
being made in the fraction left in
growers' hands. That prices are
steadily maintained is demonstrated
by the appended transactions.

The 1901 crop is also receiving
attention from buyers all along the
line.

There is but little change in the
conditions of the cured leaf market,
though some moderate sized trans-
actions have been made.

The week has brought casing
weather and a portion of the hang-
ing crop has been removed from the
sheds and stripping commenced.

Women May Not Smoke.

^ The station master at the Union
Station in Richmond. Va., posted
orders on Nov i forbidding women
to smoke in their waiting room.
The maid had been frequently sent
out to the cigar stand for packages
of cigarettes, and the practice had
grown so rapidly in the luxurious
apartments provided for the comfort
of women passengers, that the rail-
road authorities took this action.

A collector advised that one of the

(

employes of a cigar manufacturer purpose, and containing, respec

had, by mistake, affixed stamps of
the denomination of 100 on boxes
containing 250 cigars, which had
not been removed from the factory
The question was whether two addi
tional stamps could be affixed to
each box. It was advised that
manufacturers were required to affix
one stamp to each box which should
denote the actual number of cigars
contained therein and on which tax
was paid; therefore that the boxes
in question should be emptied and
the stamps affixed thereon unne-
cessarily and inadvertently used de-

tively, 12, 13, 25, 50, 100, 200, 250

be properly labeled, branded and
stamped before removal from the
factory; that every person who sells,
or offers for sale, or delivers, or
offers to deliver, any cigars in any
other form than in new boxes, will
incur the liabilities imposed by Sec-
tion 3392, Revised Statutes. It was
farther advised that the statute is
not construed as preventing the sale
of cigars at retail over the counter

construed as intended to prevent

from soHcitinjj^ orders, and deliver-
ing cigars by mail in unstamped

Tobacco Sobdivisions.
A manufacturer submitted for ap-
proval two small pasteboard boxes
intended for use as subdivisions or
parcels of statutory packages of
granulated smoking tobacco, re-
packed in boxes, cartons or paper
bags, and containing in the aggre
gate one pound of tobacco, to be
properly stamped and labeled. Each
small package had printed thereon
the name and brand of the tobacco
and the words, "This is an author-
ized subdivision taken from a prop-
erly stamped package. ' ' The pack-
ages were not large enough to hold
more than three-fourths of an ounce
of granulated smoking tobacco, and
the same were approved, with in-
structions that the same must be
repacked in large packages contain-
ing not more than sixteen ounces
of tobacco, properly labeled and
stamped, the stamp denoting the
aggregate weight of the tobacco
contained in the subdivisions; and,
further, that a stamped statutory
package containing subdivisions
can not be broken at the factory for
the purpose of distributing the to-
bacco to other packages or to con-
sumers through the mail, also that
manufacturers' agents and sales-
men and dealers in tobacco are
privileged to break stamped pack-
ages and deliver the contents di-
rectly to consumers; and after the
carton, box or other package con-
taining the subdivisions has been
emptied, the stamp thereon must be
utterly destroyed. The manufac-
turer was advised that the use of
labels or strips of paper in imitation
of the likeness of internal revenue
or customs stamps would ba in
violation of Sections 3,455 5,413
and 5,430, Revised Statutes, and
subject the tobacco to forfeiture,
and the person using such stamps
to punishment prescribed by Sec-
tion 3,455.

Packages Destroyed in Transit.
The manager of a railroad com-
pany advises the Commissioner that
packages of tobacco are sometimes
partially destroyed when in transit
and refused by the consignee on
that account. He desires to be
informed whether goods of such
character left on the hands of the
company can be sold and retailed

by the purchaser wit hout a violation
of law. He was instructed that all
manufactured tobacco is required
to be put up iu packages containing
statutory quantities, each package
to be properly labeled and stamped
by the manufacturer, and when such
goods are properly stamped, packed
and removed from the factory and
the packages are subsequently
broken and the stamps lost or de-
stroyed by accident such packages
may be restamped as provided for
by section 3,115, Revised Statutes,
as amended by the act of March i ,
1879; that where packages have
been so mutilated or broken that
they will not contain the statutory
quantity of tobacco originally
packed therein they must be re-
packed and stamped by some qali-
fied manufacturer of tobacco before
they are sold or oflFered for sale by
the company, and if all evidence of
previous stamping has been de-
stroyed, before a new stamp would
be issued satisfactory evidence must
be submitted to the Commissioner,
showing that the tobacco was act-
ually tax- paid and properly packed
by a manufacturer of tobacco. The
attention of the applicant was called
to section 3,373, which providea^
that the absence of a proper stamp
on any package] lof manufactured
tobacco or snuff shall be notice]ito
all persons that the tax has not been
paid thereon, and shall be prima
facie evidence of the non-payment,
and such tobacco or snuff shall be
forfeited to the United States; that
section 3. 363, Revised Statutes, pro-
vides that no manufactured tobacco
shall be sold or offered for sale un-
less put up in packages and stamped
except at retail by retail dealers from
packages authorized by law, and
every person who sells or offers for
sale manufactured tobacco not so
put up in packages and stamped
would incur liability to fine and
imprisonment as provided by the
section.

Two visitors were announced to

After glancing at the pasteboards
the Ahkoond pinched the ebon ear
of the lady and said:

receive the Ghaikwar of Paroda and
the Negus of Absentinia. I'll see
you later."

Then the Ahkoond turned to his
Vizier, and said:

"Show their majesties this way."
The Ghaikwar and the Negus
rarely traveled out of their respective
dominions, but having learned from
an American comic weekly that
there existed in their quarter of the
globe a kingdom called Swat, pos-
sessing a ruler with the remarkable
title of Ahkoond, which was just a
stretch more picturesque than their
own carefully selected official desig-
nations, they sent embassies to him
and then made plans to form with
him a defensive and offensive alli-
ance, a sort of Asiatic- AfricfiU drei-
bund against the rest of the world,
in those two contintnts.

It was in pursuance of this scheme
that they called upon the Ahkoond.
The reception they got was most
cordial. In fact, the Ahkoond 's
cordials were famous throughout
both Asia and Africa, and after
sampling them the three prize pack-
age monarchs were soon on the very
friendliest of terms.

There was but one cloud upon the
sky of royal amity that day, and that
was made of cigar smoke. The Ah-
koond of Swat and the Ghaikwar of
Paroda were heavy smokers, but
the Negus of Absentinia detested to-
bacco. It usually made him very ill
at the pit of his royal stomach, but
having come to Swat on a weighty
affair of state he grinned and said
nothing. It wasn't so easy to grin
either, because he was really ill, but
it didn't hurt at all to keep silent,
particularly as the language spoken

the people were either freezing or they fell to discussing the premiums country and rich, and the cigar

people have been trying for a long
time to get a footing there. They
! have made all sorts of propositions
to the Negus. They promised him
$100, coo, coca year for a concession,
and his answer was to chop off the
i head of the herald who brought him
; the offer. Next they assured him
i that if he would grant the concession
they would give him a holiday trip
to Europe every year and buy him
as many automobiles as the Shah of
Persia. That time he gave the
herald a bath in boiling oil. The
third herald met an even more
dreadful fate. He came with an
offer to fit out a farm for growing
Sumatra under tents in Absentinia,
with a guarantee that the crop would
sell at $5 a pound and over. The
Negus had the herald sewed up in a
piece of cheese cloth and sept him
home labeled 'Schemer.' But those
tobacco men will win out in Absen-
tinia yet," continued the Ghaikwar.
"You see if they don't. I know
what the Negus doesn't know. I got
it straight from one of the theatrical
agencies in New York. The tobacco
people are sending to the Negus a
shipload of the original famous sex-
tette of chorus ladies, and when he
sees those girls he'll just have to
give in, that's all."

"He'll probably keep thegirlsand
fool the tobacco people," was the
comment of the Ahkoond of Swat.

"Well, if he does that," said the
Ghaikwar, "and if those girls can
prove they are the real, genuine,
original six, I'll see if I can't have
better luck with my armies in Ab-
sentinia than the Italians had. If

the Negus steals those girls I'll make
war on him, and win them for my-
self if lean."

"That will be interesting," said
the Ahkoond.

starving to death, but that didn't
matter so long as cigars were cheap

"Just think," said the Ahkoond,
"You can buy the finest brands of
nickel cigars in Swat at eight for a
quarter and all the ten cent leaders
at six cents each."

"Umph," grunted the Ghaikwar,
"that's nothing; you want to come
to Paroda to get real bargains. In
my country they're selling all the
big nickel favorites at ten for a
quarter, and the ten centers at five
cents each. And as for cheroots and
stogies, cigarettes, and smoking and
chewing tobacco, those are free to
every man who buys a quarter's
worth of cigars."

rival manufacturers in their domin-
ions, and then they forgot all about
the negotiations they had come to-
gether to discuss. Which is why the
map of Swat was subsequently
changed. That, however, has noth
ing whatever to do with the present
story.

"In Paroda," said the Ghaikwar,
"they give away diamonds with
their cigars."

"Yes, and in Swat," boasted the
Ahkoond, ' it's rubies and emeralds
I haven't had to buy a single crown

Anti-Cigarette Society
Busted.

Deptity Sheriflf Cronin has re-
ceived an execution against the
Anti- Cigarette Society, manufac-
turer of a patent medicine for the
cure of cigarette smoking and the
drinking habit, at 65 Bleecker street,
for $587, in favor of the Ben B.
Hampton Company for advertising,
and a sheriff made a levy on the
place of business. The concern was
incorporated on March 5 last, under
New York laws, with a capital stock
of $100,000.

A '* Trust' ' Defined.

M. P. Kohlberg, a well-known
New York city leaf dealer, is the
author of the following definition of
a trust :

"A trust is a body of brainy men
engaged in the manufacture of an
article of common use, and bent
upon making its quality so excell-
ent and its price so reasonable that
the market for such merchandise
shall be impregnable"

Good Man, D. Rothschild,

David Rothschild, for many years
prior to 1893 head of the R. Roths
child Sons Co., manufacturers of
store and saloon fixtures, which
failed in the financial panic of '93
and '94, sweeping away Mr. Roths-
child's private fortune of $2,500,-
000 and leaving him nearly $700,-
000 in debt and penniless, has paid
every dollar of his old debts, al-
though he had been legally freed
from them by the bankruptcy court
and is to day the head of the Federal
Bank of New York, which was
opened about a month ago at 590
Broadway.

The Diebel Inventions.

MONEY-MAKlNg CIGAR VENDING
MACHINE.

Superior Automatcic Cutter.

A new cigar vending machine is
ready to be placed upon the market.
It is diflerent from other machinet^
in many ways and, according to the
claims of its inventor and manufac
turer, William Diebel, of 327 North
Eighth street, Philadelphia, is far
superior to any and all similar ma
chines now in use.

A World representative who
called to see Mr. Diebel last Men-
day, was shown a number of the
machines and the subject being one
that cannot fail to interest the trade,
a description of and other matters
appertaining to it are herewith
given.

Mr. Diebel's cigar vending device
will be known as the Diebel Auto-
matic Cigar Vending Machine and,
in appearance, it is both handsome
and ornamental. The vending de-
vice or box stands upon an orna
mented pedestal and is about four
feet in height. The vending box is
18 inches in height and 7x7 inches
in width and depth. It is neatly
finished on the exterior with nickel
and while enamel. The working
parts of the mechanism are made
substantially of red and yellow brass
and are quite simple — so simple in
fact, that it is almost impossible for
them to get out of order.

The chief merit of Mr. Diebel's
machine is that it positively will not
automatically eject a cigar unless an
absolutely genuine, sound piece of
money, say, (pr instance, a nickel,
is placed in the slot. Those who
have bought or had experience with
cigar vending machines in the past
have become disgusted with them
because all sorts of money were
placed in them — the machine taking
it, and casting out goods just as
though sound money had been
placed in the slot. Pennies, slugs
or even metal buttons would be
placed in the machine — and out
would come the goods at the owner's
loss, of course.

As noted, Mr. Diebel's machine
will not take buttons, slugs and
everything else, and hand over the
cigars. It must be the right money
or nothing. Other machines, too,
scratch and break the cigars while
in operation. Mr. Diebel's machine
does not. It ejects one or a hundred
cigars in exactly the condition they
were put in the box by the maker
It does not scratch or mar them in
the least.

DiEBBi.'s Cigar Vending Machine.
The machine can be arranged to
deliver 3 cent, 5- cent or 10 cent ci-
gars, one hundred cigars, cigars in
packages or cigarettes singly or in
packages.

Mr. Diebel mentioned points in
favor of his invention as follows: It
is the only machine on the market
successfully operated by the coin.
One thousand of the machines placed
properly, are equivalent in the sale
of cigars to 250 cigar stores. The
Dif^bel machine works automatic-
ally— there is no handle to turn or
button to push nor anything of that
character. It separates good money
from bad ; it casts out the bad money
and returns it to the one who placed
it in the slot, at the same time ring
ing an alarm bell, thus warning the
would-be "worker" to cease trying
on his game and at the same time
giving the owner who has his mon ^y
invested full knowledge of what is
going on. Assuming that manu-
facturers operate the machines for j
themselves they receive protection [

to this extent: that no one can place
any other than their own brand of
cigars in the machine. Customers
will thus get the exact cigar they
want — and not, perhaps an inferior j
cigar put in the machine by one
anxious to get rich quick at their
expense. The machine will vend
anything which can be placed for
delivery in round packages ai d the
pad ages may be small or large. If i
five sound nickels are placed in the
machine, it will automatically de j
liver five cigars. But should one of I
the five pieces of money be bad, the
machine will throw the money out
ard refuse to deliver a c'gar for it.
Thus the machine cannot be robbed.
The average sale of cigars by ma-

chines is from 5 to 25 cigars a day —
an average per day of 15. One
thousand machines, properly placed,
it is computed, will earn a net profit
daily of $150.

The machines are not expensive
and Mr. Diebel states that city,
county and State rights are for sale
at reasonable prices. He invites
correspondence from interested
parties and will show the vending
machine in operation at his place of
business. The Diebel machine com-
plies in all respects with the lawful
rules and regulations governing
vending machines.

The inventor has a splendidly
equipped machinery and casting
shop at 327 North Eighth itreetand
is prepared to fill orders promptly.

The Diebel Automatic Cigar Cutter.

Mr. Diebel is also the inventor
and manufacturer of the Diebel Ci-
gar Cutter, of which the accom-
panying cut gives a correct idea of
its appearance and operation. The
cutter is entirely automatic. You
press a cigar end in the tiny cup in
the centre, and it is clipped clear
and clean. It cuts delicate cigars,
or wet or dry ones with equal facil-
ity. The knife in the cutter is ad-
justable and can be taken out and
sharpened by even a novice with
little attendant discomfort and no
danger. Cutters operated by clock-
work and heavy springs damage ci-
gar ends so that many are thereby
rendered unfit to smoke. The
Diebel cutter cannot spoil a cigar
end. The cutter in size is 6 inches j
long by 4^ inches in width. It is I
handsome in design, nickel plated
and highly polished. It can be
furnished in bronze or oxidized if
desired. Liberal discounts are made
when large quantities are bought.

Taxes on Tobacco trom
1870 to j8go,

Baltimore, Md., Nov. 16, 1902.
Dear Medicine Man :

Please give me, if you can, the
average rate of tax on manufactured
tobacco, on cigars and on cigarettes,
from 1870 to 1900. Calvert N.

Answer

You mean the Internal Revenue
rate. In 1870 the average rate on
manufactured tobacco was 26 9
cents, while the per capita consump
tion was 2 34 pounds and the per
capita revenue 63 cents. In 1875
the average rate was 21 i cents, a
decided reduction, while the per
capita consumption had risen to
2.71 pounds, the per capita revenue
had fallen to 57 cents. In 1880
there was a still further reduction
in the average rate of taxation to 16
cents, but the per capita consump-
tion remained stationary at 271
pounds, while the per capita revenue
fell oflF to 43 cents In 1890 there
had been a still further reduction
in the average rate of taxation to 8
cents, although the per capita con-
sumption jumped to 3 80 pounds,
the per capita revenue fell oflf to 30
cents. In 1891 there had been a
still further reduction in the average
rate of taxation to 7 01 cents, and
while the per capita consumption
again rose to 3 97 pounds, the per
capita revenue still further fell to
27 cents. In 1897 there had been
a still further reduction in the aver-
age rate of taxation to 6 cents; but
despite this, the per capita consump-
tion fell oflF to 3 76 pounds, while
the per capita revenue still further
fell to 22 cents.

The history of the tax on cigars
and cigarettes is very similar. In

1870 the tax was $5 on cigars and
$1 50 and $5 on cigarettes. The
per capita consumption of both ci-
gars and cigarettes was 30 and the
per capita revenue 14 cents. In
1875 the rate of taxation had been
increased to $5 and $6 on cigars and
$1 50 $1 .75 $5 and $6 on cigarettes,
and the per capita consumption had
increased to 44 and the per capita
revenue to 23 cents. In 1880 the
tax had been raised to |6 on cigars
and to f 1.75 and $6 on cigarettes,
the per capita consumption had in-
creased to 55, and the per capita
revenue to 29 cents. In 1893 the
tax had been reduced to $3 on ci
gars and 50 cents and $3 on cigar-
ettes; while the per capita consump-
tion had jumped to 119, the per
capita revenue had fallen to 23
cents. In 18 7, the tax being the
same as in 1893, the per capita
consumption had fallen to 113 and
the per capita revenue to 19 cents.
In 1900 the tax on cigars was $3,
$1 and $3 60, and on cigarettes $3.-
60 and $1 50, a general increase.
Despite this fact, the per capita con-
sumption remained very nearly sta-
tionary at 112 and the per capita
revenue had increased to 31 cents —
the highest in the history of the tax.

American Indian Furniture.

The Schrenkeisen Company, of
20 West 20th street, New York, is
having a great success with its new
American Indian furniture. Of
course, no tribe of American In-
dians has ever been famous for the
furniture with which it filled its
tepees. The Schrenkeisen artists
have succeeded in creating forms
of furniture which are novel and
pleasing. Much of the furniture
is inlaid with pebbles. Some of it
shows decorated leather and fish
club carving of heads after the
Tlingit tribe. A desk shows totem
posts with surface carving and
stained wood after the Haida tribe,
and a chair, whose upholstery is a
Navajo blanket, shows woodwork
of surface and head carving with
pebble inlay after the Bella Coola
tribe. This furniture, recalling as
it does the aboriginal users of to-
bacco on this continent, should
make most desirable and suitable
additions to the interiors of smok-
ing rooms and handsome business

offices of cigar manufacturers and
leaf men.

*
The Insomnia ot Shake-
speare.

Preparations are making in North
Carolina for the celebration of the
settlement of Roanoke Island by
Sir Walter Raleigh, in 1584. The
celebration is to be held in the sum-
mer of 1905. All that remains of
the colony planted by Raleigh on
Roanoke Island are the traces of

the old fort built by the colonists
and now owned by one of the North
Carolina Historical Societies, whose
members have erected four granite
posts at the different angles, so that
visitors may discern its outlines in
the thick grass and live oak timber.
It was on this little island that the
first English colonists set foot, be-
fore the discovery of Australia, at
a time when Canada and South
Africa were known only on the
statements of certain daring mar-
iners. Here it was that the first
English colonists inaugurated the
era of Anglo Saxon colonization;
here where they built their dwell-
ings, sowed their crops, and per-
formed their religious devotions; in
fact, the opening act and first scene
of the drama of Anglo British and
American aggrandizement. Upon
the soil of Roanoke landed the first
English women who crossed the
ocean to find homes in the newly
discovered world beyond the seas,
and here also was born the first
English child who saw the light of
day in the New World.

Yet this first attempt at English
colonization was not a success. At
the meeting of the Celebration Com-
mittee one of the speakers produced
a curious memorial of this failure.
Rambling recently through the ex-
tensive library of Captain William
Day, of Raleigh, N. C, his atten-
tion was attracted by a very old
book, entitled, "The Insomnia of
Shakespeare and the Causes There-
of," in which he found the follow-
ing letter from Sir Walter Raleigh to
William Shakespeare, dated at "The
Mermaid," the memorable tavern
at which the literati of London met
in the halcyon daysof Englishlitera-
ture, March 20, 1609:
"To William Shakespeare:

"Full well do I know, my dear-
est Will, that often thou hast won-
dered at the fate of thy ;i^5o which,
with a hundred times as much of
mine own, was adventured to found
an empire in America. Great were
our hopes, both of glory and of gold,
in the kindness of Powhatan. But
it grieves me much to say that all
hath resulted in infelicity and an
unhappy end.

Our ships were wrecked or cap-
tured by the knavish Spaniards.
Our brave sailors all perished. As
I was blameworthy for thy risk, 1
send by the messenger your ;^50,
which you shall not lose by my
overhopeful vision. I send a pack
age of a new herb from the Chesa-
peake, called by the natives *to
bacco.' Make it not into tea, as
did one of my kinsmen, but kindle
and smoke it in the little tube the
messenger will bestow. Be not
deterred if thy gorge at first arises
against it, for when thou art wonted,
it is a balm for all sorrows and a
beam of paradise.

"Walter Raleigh."

M. Oppenheimer* s Card.

M. Oppenheimer, of 142 Water
street, one of the oldest leaf dealers
in New York city, discovered
recently that a competing house,
also named Oppenheimer, was mak-
ing representations calculated to
give the impression that he was no
longer doing business at the old
stand, and that his Eastern and New
Jersey traveler, Mr. Theo Beck-
hardt, had been switched oflF on to
another territory.

Accordingly Mr.Oppenheimer has
sent out the following notice to his
customers and the trade:

November, 1902.
Dear Sir: — There being several
other ' 'Oppenheimers" in the trade,
permit me to state, these are no con-
nection in any way, and that Mr.
Theo. Beckhardt, so many years
with me, will continue calling on
you with my line, which as always,
consists of only the choicest of fine
tobaccos.

Yours very truly,

M. Oppenheimer.

Continental Co's. Big I,eat
Purchases.

The Continental Tobacco Com-
pany last week made the largest
purchases of leaf tobacco in Louis-
ville ever known in that market.
On November 6, its buyers took a
lot consisting of 2,330 hogsheads of
the variety known as Green River
Pryors, each hogshead containing
about I 250 pounds of leaf. The
aggregate cost of the lot was about
$250,000.

In addition to this lot, the Conti-
nental bought 1,018 hogsheads of
the Louisville Tobacco Warehouse
Co., which cost J 100,000. These
transactionsare not only the largest,
probably, that ever took place in
the hogshead leaf market, but are
notable as being made unusually
early in the season. The tobacco
was all of last year's growth, and
had been redried and rehandled last
summer. The reason for buying
so early was the poor quality of this
year's crop.

R. K. Smith, manager of the leaf
department of the Continental To-
bacco Company; F. R. Toe Water,
of the country leaf department, of
Lexington, Ky., and H. A. Walker,
of the Danville leaf department were
visitors in New York last week.

C. K. Gage Co. Fails.
The C. K. Gage Cigar Co., of
Portland, Maine, filed a petition in
bankruptcyon November 13. The
company began business about
eighteen months ago. C. K. Gage
was formerly a salesman in the
employ of H. Traises & Co., of
Boston, Mass. The company had
a capital of $10,000, $5,000 of which
was paid in. It owes altogether
about $15,000 in New York city
and elsewhere.

Opinions diflfer widely as to the
efifect of the policy of the trust upon
the fortunes of leaf merchants, cigar
manufacturers, and jobbers and
retailers of tobacco. There are
those who say that the entry of the
trust into the cigar manufacturing
field has stimulated the consump
tion of cigars, and that the vast in-
crease in the production of cigars
in the past twelvemonth measures
to a cigar the trust's own output.
It is estimated that the returns will
show that about 1,200,000,000 more
cigars were made during the cur-
rent year than were made in 1901,
and 1,200,000,000 is believed to be
the present annual output of the
trust. That leaves about 5 800,000,-
000 cigars as the output of all the
other manufacturers of the United
States, and those are very respecta-
ble figures, and tend to show that
the trade is to day in a healthier
condition than it has ever been in
all its history. But, it is urged by
those who cavil at the trust, the
trust's methods are injuring the
business of other manufacturers,
and especially, the business of those
who can least afford to stand it. Is
this so? If it is, where are the
corpses of the victims? Certainly
not in the obituary columns of the
trade press which keeps track of
trade bankruptcies. During the
past twelve months the trade press
has recorded but one important
failure, and that was of a house that
was shaky before the American Ci
gar Company bought out Powell
Smith & Co.

Tobacco World reporters keep
their finger constantly upon the
pulse of every branch of the trade.
Six months ago the pulse of the im
porters of Sumatra showed a rather
hectic condition. The importers
could not know what the trust was
going to do at the inscriptions.
Their apprehension was that the
trust and its biggest American ci-
gar manufacturingcompetitor would
force prices of desirable tobaccos to
such a sky-high figure that inde-
pendent buyers would be unable to
purchase desirable Sumatra at prices
that would insure them a living
profit, yet as time went on and the
purchases of the trust and its big-
gest American competitor were re-
corded it was found that these im-
pressions were totally groundless,
for the fact is that excellent to-
baccos were secured by the inde-

pendent importers at the 190a in-
scriptions at prices in some instances
50 per cent, lower than the same
tobaccos brought at the inscriptions
of 1901, and to-day Sumatra can be
bought, duty paid, at $2 60 a pound
which in 1901 was held at $3 a
pound.

The importers of Havana tobacco
have also felt the weight lifted from
their breasts. The current year
has not been the best year the old
houses have known, but it has been
satisfactory in the main and better
than the previous one in spite of the
fact that the last crop was a poor

one.

The packers of Wisconsin have

shown more aggressiveness this
year than they have ever shown be-
fore, and the big ones among them
sent their buyers into the field un-
usually early and with instructions
to secure the best crops in the face
of any competition whatsoever.
This does not show that these
packers despair of their own future
or that of their customers.

The packers of Connecticut, of
Pennsylvania, of Ohio, of New York
State leaf show an equally resolute
spirit. They have bought freely in
each market and will as usual do
their best to make a reasonable pro-
fit out of their merchandise.

So much for the leaf man.

As to the cigar manufacturers, the
fact that stands out in boldest relief
in this discussion is that they are
directly "up against it." It is they
who have to meet the competition
of the trust. Some of them do it by
making precisely the same conces-
sions in the way of free cigars, pre-
miums and discounts that the trust
makes. Others, and among these
are to be counted some of the ablest
and richest men in the trade, have not
varied one hair's breadth from their
accustomed modes of doingbusiness.
They give away no cigars, no pre-
miums, and only the usual dis-
counts. They give their entire time
during business hours to the details
of the factory and the counting
room, and they do not forget the
one great essential of keeping in
personal touch with their custo-
mers.

Here and there one will hear that
such and such a manufacturer is
losing ground, but on the other
hand the report that manufacturers
are doing more than ever is beard
with growing frequency.

The stalenieut is often made that
nowadays ambitious and capable
men ot small capital have no show
in the cigar manufacturing business
and those who say these things ate
usually very eloquent and very cir
cumstancial in their accounts of
men who in the olden time began
with $50, a b( atd and a knife, and
who in a few >ears became rich
men . The trouble is, if one wished
to contradict these stories, that it
would be so very hard to locate the
ambitious and capable, but impecu-
nious, chaps who are beginning
iheir climb You see, the world is
so very big and is growing so fast
that one doesn't know where to be-
gin to look for the obscure. But in
1912 yoo will probably hear plenty
of stories of cigar manufacturers
who began with a shoe string in
1902 and who prospered in the
good old way that the other fellows
prospered in.

As to the jobbers of cigars, those
are gentlemen who may be safely
left to fight their own battles. A
good cigar jobber is like a good ad-
vertising solicitor — he will win out
against any kind of odds.

There remains the retail tobacco-
nist, and as to him it would be dis
courteous to say very much, because
just now, under the stimulus of the
competition of the United Cigar
Stores Co , he is doing his own
talking, and the daily newspapers
are helping him to get a hearing.

With the foregoing preface The
Tobacco World opens the present
discu><sion with a paper contributed
by Mr. Charles L. Feinberg, of
Brooklyn, N. Y.

The Retailers' Duty.

By Chari,hs L. Feinberg.

I am both a manufacturer and a
retailer of cigars, and besides I ad-
vertise my leading nickel brand,
Natural Aroma, extensively, stead
ily. aiid successfully in the territory
in which it is now on sale, but I am
going to discuss the relations of the
trust to the trade solely from the
standpoint of a retailer, because it
is precisely in its relations to the
retailer that the trust is just now
most conspicuous.

I was one of those who were in-
vited to address the meeting of re-
tailers at Bohemian Hall on Octo-
ber 31. I advised my hearers then
that the best thing they could do
at the beginning of this fight was
to put the trust's signs and show
cards in the back yard and the trust's
goods somewhere behind thecounter
out of sight. When the daily papers
published my speech I was hopeful
that all dealers in sympathy with
the Bohemian Hall mass meeting
would act in accordance with my
suggestion, but upon making a
personal inspection along the line
I have found most of them doing
the very opposite. Some of them

give the most conspicuous places in
their Slock to the trust's goods, and
sell them at all kinds of prices,
oitentimes cheaper than the trust's
own stores sell them. This, in my
opiuion, is fatal policy. It is the
aurtst way to direct the attention of
customeis to the trust's goods,
whereas the aim of the independent
retailers should be to effect a larger
and larger sale of the goods of in-
dependent manufacturers at prices
which will insure a living profit
alike to the manufacturer, the
wholesaler and the retailer. United
Cigar Stores prices will never make
the independent retailer rich, but
will inevitably drive him into a
corner, and that's just where the
trust wants to have him. Those
who are doing the sorts of things I
have described justify themselves
by saying they want to show the
public they can sell just as cheaply
as the next man. But that is just
precisely what they can't do. No
cut rate cigar store in the United
States is making expenses, and only
they themselves know just how
much they are losing. Cigar stores
do not make the profits that drug
stores make. The margin of profit
on retailing cigars, tobacco etc., is
so small that I am amazed to find
even the United Cigar Stores Com-
pany cutting prices. I am aware
that current gossip has it the United
Cigar Stores Company is doing the
work of the trust to which is im-
puted the villianous design to drive
every retailer in the United States
either into its fold or into bank-
ruptcy. I do not profess to know
how much truth there is in these
stories, if there is any truth at all.
Some of those who addressed the
Bohemian Hall meeting went to
very great lengths in their denuncia-
tion of the trust. I am like the
Greek priestess of old, who, being
asked to execrate Alcibiades, for
something he had done which the
Athenians did not approve, replied
that her business was to pray and
not to curse. My business is to
make and sell cigars, and to attend
strictly to one's own business is ad-
mitted by all theologians to be one
of the best of all ways of praying.
Corporations are to be judged by
their performances, and the per-
formances of the United Cigar Stores
Company, which is a corporation,
are in all respects, in my judgment,
execrable.

Altogether, upon as complete a
survey of present conditions as I
can make, I am of opinion that the
retailers' duty is to adopt the policy
of his brethren in Taunton, Mass.
The Taunton retailers, as told in
this week's Tobacco World, are
meeting the issue in the manliest of
all ways: they are selling all goods
at the regular prices. If all retailers
do that all will prosper, and pros-
perity is what we are all looking for.

M» Rosenwald & Bro's. New
Wisconsin.

Mr.Sigmund Rosenwald returned
on November i6 from a flying trip
to Wisconsin, where he inspected
his firm's packings of the new goods.
Mr. Rosenwald agrees with Mr.
Ruscher in saying that the 1902 is
the finest crop of tobacco ever raised
in Wisconsin. His firm has packed
over 10,000 cases of the crop, most
of it grown in the northern part of
the state, which is famous for its
fine tobaccos. At Soldier's Grove,
E. Rosenwald & Bro. have packed
over 99 per cent, of the crop grown
there. They have also packed
largely at Viroqua, West by and
other points, as also in the southern
tiers of the tobacco growing counties
of Wisconsin.

Romeo y Julieta Samples.

It will be illuminating to Ameri
can cigar manufacturers to learn
that the great cigar manufacturing
firm of Rabell, Costa & Co., of Ha-
vana, manufactures 186 sizes of its
Romeo y Julieta brand. Some of
the shapes among these 186 which
range from the dainty Petit Dues to
the huge Magistrales, Sober bios and
Kxclusivos are undreamed of in any
other factory save in the most
thoroughly equipped in Havana,
and are veritable triumphs of manual
skill.

Several boxes of samples of the
Romeo y Julieta brand have recently
been received by Captain M. E.
Flaherty, of New York, who is the
agent for the Romeo y Julieta brand
in the United States and Canada
and will well repay the close study
which the admiration a first view
of them is apt to invite.

heretofore had.

Theodore

hectnres.

Theodore Marburg, the
Baltimore millionaire to-
bacco merchant, lectured
before the students of
Lehigh University , South
Bethlehem , Friday morn-
ing, Nov. 14, his subject
being "Shorter Hours
for Labor." Among
many of the sensible
thoughts presented, Mr.
Marburg declared that
the men who would suc-
ceed in securing shorter
hours for labor would do
as much for the white
men of this country as
Abraham Lincoln did for
the black men. The
Federal Government, in
his opinion, should fix
the hours of labor. He
favored an eight hour
day, but did not believe
in an abrupt reduction of the hours.
Mr. Marburg contended that reduc-
ing the hours fifteen minutes a day
yearly, until the minimum of eight
hours was reached, would not cause
any disadvantages to employers. He
opposed Government ownership as
Socialism, and held private owner-
ship of property to be the only safe-
guard against slavery.

PHIl,A, I^BAF MARKHT.

The leaf market was more ani-
mated this week, and a number of
transactions are reported as follows:

800 cases 1 90 1 Wisconsin; 900
cases 1 90 1 Zimmer Spanish; 200
cases 1900 Pennsylvania Broad Leaf
B's; 150 cases J901 Big Flats; 200
cases 1900 Wisconsin.

There is a demand for Havana,
and several inconsequential sales
are reported, but take the week
through and the market was quiet.
There was but a small demand for
Sumatra and but few sales. Out-
of-city buyers were not as numerous
as usual, although mail orders for
small quantities were up to the
average. Manufacturers who are
short, or nearing that point, on
Havana , are more or less disappoint-
ed on account of the reports from
the Cuban districts, which say that
this year's crop is a short one and
will be sold early
Manufacturers and Retailers.

Philadelphiacigar manufacturers,
almost without exception, report
good business. They are already
preparing for the holiday trade, and
expect it to be lively.

Retailers, too, say business is
good. In many stores sales have
been noticeably brisk.

THE LOCAL TRADE-

They're Thinkin*.
The latest move to close candy
and cigar stores on Sunday is fairly
launched under the auspices of the
Candy and Cigar Sunday Closing
Committee, of which G. S. Vail, of
1302 Callowhill street, is business
agent. The committee has dis-
tributed circulars to the local trade
announcing that on and after Sun-
day, November 23, proprietors who
keep their stores open on Sunday
will be prosecuted under the pro-
vision of the "Blue Laws" of 1794,
which attaches a fine of $4 and costs
for each violation, or an imprison-
ment of six days. Some of the
storekeepers "are a- thinkin'.

. » "

C ALIPED Down.

Several local jobbers and "wagon
men" went over to New York last
Friday — at the request of J. B.Duke,
it is said. Several jobbers com-
plained to Mr. Duke, that "wagon
men" wer« "cutting prices" and
they wanted it stopped. Result, a
conclave before "Buck," during
which he "read the law" to the
price cutters and told them they
must cease their "cutting" antics
or he would not sell them trust
goods.

When questioned concerning the
matter a number of local jobbers

would neither affirm nor deny the
foregoing news. But the World
gets its information direct from a
responsible source and knows it to
be true. The Continental has de-
cided to treat all jobbers alike in
the matter of prices on goods here
after. No rebates will be allowed
to purchasers of large amounts as
was the rule heretofore.

Denies Trust Story.
Harvey D.Narrigan emphatically
denies that the jobbers of Philadel-
phia were considering a proposition
from the Continental Tobacco Co.
(the trust) to control the retail trade
in Philadelphia. No proposition
has been made or received from the
trust, asserts Mr. Narrigan, and
trade will go on as heretofore.

Alleged Smugglers.
Three sailors were held in bail
for court by U. S. Commissioner
Craig Saturday, charged with smug-
gling Sumatra tobacco from the
steamer Pennland. About $50 worth
of the leaf was found on each man
and it is said they were trying to
sell it. Arrests for a similar offense
were also made in New York city
last week.

Back PROM Havana.

Mr. Leopold Loeb, of the Loeb
Nunez Company, who has just re-
turned from Havana, was seen by

a World reporter Monday morning,
and in response to questions said:
"Of course I enjoyed my visit, but
I am glad to be home again. The
season at Havana is an early one
and transactions were fairly good.
The crop this year is very good,
although Vuelta Abajo has turned
out poorly. Remedios turned out
very raw and it will take some time
for it to cure. Partido has turned
out very satisfactory; there is an
active demand for it, of course, for
wrappers." Mr. Loeb and General
Nunez made a number of purchases
for their firm, of course, and being
on the market early secured pretty
much all that they desired in leaf
and of the best on the market.

Holiday Orders Starting.

Fauth & Ogden report steadily
increasing sales of their leading
brand, the "Cosmos." Holiday
trade with them is commencing,

and prospects are bright.

«%

A New Brand.
The Almeda Cigar Factory has
put a new brand on the market,
• ' The Full Dress Suit . " It sells for
$21 per thousand, and is taking well
with the tradeand consumers. Busi-
ness is excellent at the factory, and
additional employes have been
added to the already large and busy
force.

Will Start For Himself.

Max Gartman, foreman of Bayuk
Bros., factory, will open a new cigar
store at 1130 Columbia avenue, on
or about November joth. The new
place will be neatly equipped for a
retail business, and Mr. Gartman 's
thorough knowledge of the demands
of the trade will undoubtedly enable
him to make a success of his new
business venture.

On the Mend.
Encouraging word is received of
the condition of Otto Eisenlohr,
senior member of the firm of Otto
Eisenlohr and Bros., who went to
Lake wood. N. J., for rest and recre-
ation It is known that Mr. Eisen-
lohr gave close attention to a vast
amount of business during the past
seasor and probably, without real-
izing it, overtaxed his strength. It
was with pleasure that his family
and friends learned of his decision
to take a vacation, visit beautiful
Lakewood, and there enjoy a well-
earned holiday.

Death of An Old Salesman.

Joseph C. Barradaile, aged 54,
for years connected with the Ralph
Scotch Snuff Co. as salesman, was
found dead in bed early Sunday
morning at his late home, 3910
Girard avenue. A revolver in the
dead man's hand, and a gaping

wound in the right temple, ex
plained the cause of death. His
family believe that while examining
a revolver, Mr. Barradaile accident-
ally shot himself, but it seems to
have been adeliberatecaseof suicide.
It is known that, owing to vicissi-
tudes because of changes in the to-
bacco trade, Mr. Barradaile was very
despondent at times, and presum-
ably, in one of these moods Sunday
morning, saw fit to end his life.

Moorhead, will start out en route
next Monday. The Marcello, the
firm's leading cigar, has been "on
the jump" during the past two
years and is in the front rank of
favorite smokers. Duncan & Moor-
head are preparing for the holiday
trade, their factory running now
uU handed.

Will Not Cut.
T. A. Reed, Philadelphia mana-
ger of the United Cigar Stores Co.,
said to a World reporter yesterday
morning: "Now that the trade pa-
pers have had their say, I'd like
mine. The U. C. S. Co. is not 'the
trust' and has no connection with
one. We are not here to cut prices,
but to do business on strictly legiti-
mate lines. We expect to open
stores right along as soon as we find
locations, but up to the present we
have but one store." Mr. Reed
said the story was untrue that the
United Co. had leased two stores on
Chestnut and Market streets and
were having the fronts altered.

Harry Didn't Go.
Harry Mills, salesman with Vi
ncente Portuondo, did not go West
last Monday, as was erroneously
reported, but will probably remain
in the city until the first of the year.

Jersey Orders Plentiful.

A. M. Lake, with George Burg

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to- day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Preliminary Meeting of Cigar
Dealers Held Tuesday.

S W. Roth, who has had much
to do with the formation of the
Chicago Retail Cigar Dealers' As
sociation, and who, it is said, aimsto
become the President of a National
Association, arrived in Philadelphia
from New York Tuesday morning
and at once began proceedings to
form a retail cigar dealers' associa-
tion in the Quaker City. He visited
a fairly good-sized number of re-
tailers and asked them to meet him
Tuesday afternoon at the Conti-
nental Hotel, where steps would be
taken to organize the new protec-
tive union. Probably twenty re
tail cigar dealers were at the meet-
ing, which convened at four o'clock.

From one who was present the
World learns that the main object
of the formation of the organization
was frankly stated to be protection
to the retailers against unfair com-
petition of monopolists and trusts ;
that retailers must be allowed to
sell such tobaccos and cigars as they
choose to handle and not to be
bound by rules or coercive threats
to handle any one corporation or
company's output. It is understood
only a temporary organization was
effected Tuesday. The following
temporary ofl&cers were elected :
President, Isador Aussprung; Vice-
President, Joseph E. Tuck; Treas-
urer, N. T. Weser, and Secretary,
A. K. Moore.

It was decided to hold a mass
meeting Friday evening next, and
a call announcing the hour and
place of meeting will be sent out at
once to the retail dealers.

The fact that the retailers held a
meeting Tuesday will come as a
surprise to the local trade generally,
for that a meeting was contemplated
was known by very few in the city
yesterday, A World reporter, who
was a visitor for news in a large
number of stores, questioned the
proprietors as to whether they
thought a retail association would
be formed, and they almost unani-
mously seemed to think there was
very little need of such an organiza-
tion, and that none would be formed.
Some seem to think that another
than the alleged American Tobacco
Co. is back of the new retail move-
ment in order to secure an outlet
for thtir goods.

It is a fact, too, beyond ♦contro-
versy, that there exists in Philadel-
phia among the many retail cigar
dealers a strong sentiment in favor
of organization to secure mutual
benefits and protection.

Charles Schuyler & Bro. consti-
tute a comparatively new firm of
cigar manufacturers at Burlington.
Both brothers are thoroughly ex-
perienced men at the bench. They
are comfortably located at 507 High
street where they are building up
a solid business. Their leading
brand is the Del mar, a cigar which
has met with cordial approval at the
hands of discriminating consumers.

Hines & Co., who opened a retail
tobacco store on High street, Bur-
lington, some little time ago, are
doing well and command a good
share of public patronage. Among^
other retailers in Burlington who
report good business are the follow-
ing: Messrs. Chadbowine, Dorsey,.
Fitzpatrick, Fleming, A. P. Silpath,.
L. F. Silpath, Williams, Walfe,
Wooden and Mrs. Barckley.

John J. Doyle, Burlington's old
and reliable jobber, is retiring from
the jobbing trade and will soon con>
fine his business operations to hand-
ling cigars exclusively.

The Camden and Trenton trolley
line now extends from a little south
of West Palmyra to Trenton, pass-
ing through a number of lively
villages and towns. Tobacco dealers
say that the road has been a distinct
benefit to them, as it permits nearby
and other people to travel about
easily and quickly, and particularly
on Saturdays and holidays the dif-
ferent towns are full of visitors who
spend money.

J. H. Bowers, formerly a retail
cigar dealer at Riverton, has retired
from the business. Wm. Wolf-
schmidt can be found at his old
stand, however, happy and hustling.

W. B. Cline, a few years ago a
cigar manufacturer at Camden, N.
J. , is now in the restaurant business
at Mt. Holly. He retails a nice
line of choice cigars. "Billy," as
he is known, reports business as
being good.

L. W. Palmer, the veteran cigar
manufacturer of Beverley, is push-
ing a number of his own brands
with good success and looks forward
to a lively holiday trade. Mr.
Palmer is his own energetic sales-
men and visits the retailers for miles
about. Mr, Palmer's "Lenox" is
a well made and popular 5 cent
cigar.

James Patterson, a veteran whole-
sale tobacconist, was found dead in
bed at his home in Scotch Plains^

A company of Massachusetts
capitalists have incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey for the pur
pose of raising tobacco and onions.
The initial capital is $(25,000, but
it said that it will probably be in-
creased later on. The onions, it
is to be hoped, will be grown at
least a mile away from the tobacco.

half of the company.

The Keller Cigar Company .which
recently opened a cigar store in the
Katz building, Paterson, gave away
10,000 cigars to purchasers during
opening week.

The Geller Products.

The John S. Geller, Sons & Co.
state that they expect to be com-
fortably located in their new quar-
ters at 250 Market street in about
three weeks, at which time it is
thought the extensive alterations
necessitated by their business will
have been completed . Business with
this firm has been uniformly good.
They are just placing upon the
market a new five-for-ioc cheroot,
to be known as the "Our Tickler,"
and it has already met with a warm
welcome from consumers. Sales
for their "Our Billy" cut plug are
increasing at a pleasing rate — so
fast, in fact, that they find difficulty
in promptly filling orders. "Our
Billy" is described as a high grade
plug, put up in 1^ oz. packages to|

over 300,000, and the factory has
to "hump itself" to get them ready
fast enough to fill orders. Fully
500,000 of the cheroots will be con-
sumed by the trade in the near fu-
ture, judged according to orders
and indications.

According to Geller & Co. union
and independent goods are becom-
ing more and more popular every
day.

The Wilmington, Del., branch of
the firm reports an increasing busi
ness. And it is conceded by every
one a judge in the matter that the
company's handsome store at Wil-
mington is one of the finest and best
stocked in the trade.

York, Pa., Nov. 17, 1902.
There is little or no change in the
York leaf market. The dealers ex
perienced a fairly good week, but
nothing extraordinary occurred to
make the week a notable one. To-
bacco growers throughout the coun-
ty are taking advantage of the fine
weather, and considerable of this
season's crop has already been taken
off the poles and stripped. The
packers have their agents out, and
a large quantity of leaf has been
bought on the poles. The buyers
report that this season's crop is
sound and of good color.

The boom in the cigar trade con
tinues in all sections of York coun-
ty. All of the manufacturers are
behind in their orders. There is a
great demand for stamps at the
York office of the Ninth Pennsyl
vania Revenue District, and if the
demand continues, the receipts for
tobacco stamps will be larger than
any other November in late years.
A number of new cigar factories
have been started recently in this
vicinity. Harry Shelley has opened
a factory at Craley. He will man
ufacture cigars for the domestic and
export trade. Calvin Carnes is
erecting a large building in Craley,
which he will utilize as a cigar fac
tory. Louis W. Pfaff, son of Bur- 1
gess Louis G. Pfaff, of Hanover, i
has started a factory in the rear of
Franklin street, Hanover. The fac-
tory will be a union shop. Ephraim
Stavely, who has been employed in I
the cigar factory of John H. Little, ' ,
Hanover, has resigned his position
and embarked in the cigarmaking
business for himself. His factory is I
located near Littlestown, Adams
county.

The Wisconsin Field.

Janesville, Wis., Nov. 15, 1902

The remnant of the crop of 1902
is moving in a moderate way, the
buying being done mostly by those
who entered the race late. Buyers
complain that the farmers are too
high in their asking price, wanting
as much for such low grade crops
as were passed by the early buyers
as was paid for the selections.
When the lower grades can be lifted
at a reasonable figure, it will all be
bought up.

During a recent damp spell a few
farmers removed a portion of their
tobacco from the poles and are strip
ping the same. Several warehouse
men are cleaning up preparatory to
receiving the early crops as soon as
they are ready for delivery, i-'ev
eral assorting rooms will start up
early in December:

Old tobacco seems to be in better
demand, and several fair sized lots
have changed hands. L. B. Carle
& Son sold 151 cases 1900 and 108
cases 190 1, the latter low grades
Geo. H. Rumrill sold 200 cases
1900 B's to S. Ashner of New York .
and F. S. Baines sold 80 cases. A
moderate trade in small lots is re-
ported.

A regular meeting of the Janes-
ville Leaf Tobacco Dealers' Asso
elation was held Saturday evening.
After disposing of the routine busi
ness, considerable time was spent in
discussing the question of forming
an insurance company. Many to
bacco men are strongly in favor of
organizing an insurance company
among the tobacco dealers of this
part of the State The matter has
not assumed definite form as yet.

S. Ashner, of New York City,
purchased tobacco in this market
this week.

I. L. Hanke, a cigar manufac-
turer of York, Pa., visited Janes-
ville leaf dealers this week.

J. M. Falk. of New York, was in
our market this week.

The American Cigar Co. broke
ground this week for an addition to
its warehouse in Edgerton, recently
purchased of T. B. Earle The ad
dition will be 172x32 feet, and is for

NEWS NOTES.

Augusta, Ky., is preparing for &
big Tobacco Fair, to be held Janu-
ary 17, 1903. A liberal list of pre-
miums has been offered.

Winston Salem had its banner

Board of Trade figures gave sales
of !> 065 544 lbs. at $570,176.64,
which compares well with i 329,56s

Last year, according to the report
of the British Consul at Odessa,
7,695,600,000 cigarettes were made
in Russia from 14,032 tons of to-
bacco. More than half the cigar-
ettes exported go to Germany.

An official estimate states that
Japan's crop of leaf tobacco this
year will be 5 per cent or 6 per
cent, below the average crop. The
Government, however, has a very
large stock in hand, and no scarcity
is anticipated.

The value of tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes imported into the Trans-
vaal during the first seven months
of this year was ;^76,ooo, as com-
pared with ;i^27,ooo in the corres-
ponding period of 1901.

During the nine months ending^
September 30, 1902, the imports of
tobacco into the United States aggre-
gated $1 1,537,510. The total im-
ports of tobacco for the whole year
of 1890 was valued at $16,852,750.

Half of the 150 girls employed at
the new factory of the United Cigar
Company at Altoona went out on

At the rec«nt annual convention
of the Association of Official Agri-

ington, D. C, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson announced that the
government would pay a salary of
$10,000 a year to any chemist who
could tell what it is in the soil of
the different sections of the United
States, or of foreign countries, pro-
ducing the finer grades of tobacco ^k
which makes a fine filler tobacco in ^^
one section and a fine wrapper in
another, where apparently condi-
tions are the same.

While the market in Havana dur-
ing the previous week had been
xery active the same does not hold
good of the week ending November
8, as the volume of sales recorded
-during this period hardly reaches
50 per cent of that, the number of
bales footing up only 4, 100 as com
pared with 8,400 bales reported dur-
ing the preceding seven days. No
change is noticeable in prices for
£ne goods, factory vegas or choice
fillers of Vuelta Abajo and Partido
tobacco, and as they are beginning
to become scarcer holders are ex
acting full values for such classes.
Inferior grades and botes being still
plentiful can only be sold if the
sellers are willing to meet buyers
at the low figures offered by them.
Remedios is beginning to be in-
<[uired for, although prices still
favor the purchasers more or less.
The above mentioned 4,100 bales
-consisted of 2,400 bales of Vuelta
Abajo, 500 bales Partido and 1,200
bales of Remedios, and were taken
by United States buyers to the ex-
tent of 2,600 bales, while Havana
cigar manufacturers took the re-
mainder of 1,500 bales.

The 1903 Crop.

Besides the parties reported prev-
iously as having saved part of their
plantings, Cano y Hno. now state
that the 385.000 "matas" upon
their farm, "El Brillante," in the
famous tumbadero district, had also
escaped the late rain storms, owing
to the plants having secured such a
firm hold in the soil that the down
pour did not wash them away.
Their other vegas, however, were
all lost, and they will have to com-
mence to replant them. If the
weather continues fair, they think,
they might begin on the November
10. Seedlings, however, have gone
up in price and now command from
^3 to $3 50 per thousand. Don
Antonio Garcia, of San Juan y
Martinez, who had set out his plants
in September, also has escaped any
bad results from the rains, the plants
having been big enough to with-
stand successfully all the downpour,
and instead of being damaged were
benefited by the moisture. He says
lie will commence cutting after

November 15, when the moon be-
gins to wane. Farmers in Cuba
generally cut their tobaccos between
the full and new moon, whether
from habit, or for any particular
reason it is hard to tell Do the
United States farmers follow the
same rule? The early cutting of
the tobacco by Don Antonio Garcia
seems to be an isolated case, as no
other vegueros in the Vuelta Abajo
have reported such phenomenal
early plantings. V7hile all reports
were uniform in saying that nearly
everything has been lost in the
Vuelta Abajo, it may, nevertheless
be doubted whether some vegueros
have not saved some of their plant
ings and seedbeds; still that the
numbers may be small and stand
more as an exception to the rule
admits of hardly any doubt. The
weather conditions seem now more
favorable for the agricultural popu-
lation.

chants, who cannot complete their
orders, is best illustrated by the
falling off in the exports, which
amounted to only a little over i,-
800,000 cigars, by the steamship
Morro Castle, as compared with
over 4 500 000, the previous week.
H. Upraann & Co. intended to ship
1.000,000, Bridat, Mont Ros & Co.,
300,000, Neuhaus, Neumann & Co
280,000 cigars, and others in pro
portion, while through this unfore-
seen circumstance, perhaps only
half of these orders will be executed .
It is feared that the H. de Cabanas
y Carvajal, as well as the Flor de
J. S. Murias, and perhaps also the
Henry Clay and Bock & Co., Ltd.,
might be forced through their cigar-
makers to close also. The inde-
pendent factories, such as H Up-
mann & Co., Flor de Partagas,
Jose Gener y Batet, Behrens & Co.,
of Sol fame, Cruz Roja, Ramon
Allones. Romeo y Julieta, the Punch
factory and others may, however,
not be affected, and on the contrary
receive additional orders through
the shutting down of the big allied

concerns.

The Watd Liae.

The Morro Castle arrived at Hav-
ana on the morning of November 5
with a good sized passenger list
(over lao) from New York, and the
passengers were so highly pleased
with their treatment at the hands of
Captain Downs and the company
that they drew up a testimonial
which was published in the dailies
of Havana, thanking the Captain,
and through him the company, for
the splendid treatment they had re-
ceived on board. It might be of
general interest to the traveling
public between Cuba and the United
iStates to know that the company
has taken a new departure as re
gards the serving of meals on their
steamers. From 7 A. M. to 9 A
M. a light breakfast is served, at 1 1
A. M. — Spanish style — a hearty
table d'hote "dejeuner a la for-
chette," and at 6 P. M.a fine table
d'hote dinner. In the afternoon,
sandwiches and salads are served to
the ladies in the social hall and to
the gentlemen in the smoking room
The company has taken pains to
send to Paris to secure the best
French chefs, and from the praise
heard from the passengers, this
change will certainly meet with
popular approval, which only goes
to show that the Ward line is up to
date, progressive, and doing every-

the readers of The Tobacco World a
more correct and vivid impression
of the new galvanized iron covers

could hope to convey. Thesecovers,
which protect the bales while in

the tobacco all the air it needs, are
not only a timely and useful inven-

Starr Bros at Weedsport,
N. Y,

Starr Bros., the well-known leaf
packers of 163 Water street, New
York, have their large new ware
house at Weedsport, N. Y., in com-
plete working order. The ware
house will accommodate about 2,
200 cases of tobacco and is just now
filled with the firm's packing of the
new Onondaga and Big Flats.

Starr Bros, recently sold a very
large quantity of their Onondaga
packing to one of the biggest cigar
manufacturing concerns in Penn-
sylvania.

No Parlor Matches in
New York.
After January i next it will be a
misdemeanor in New York to have
parlor matches in stock or in one's
possession. After New Year the
only matches which it will be safe
to own or use will be the old fash-
ioned sulphur matches or safety
matches. The law against parlor
matches will be enforced because
during the past year the Fire Com-
missioner has traced 1,300 fires to
them.

Trade in Reading.

I^ewis R. Farling retired from the
Central Cigar Comoany, 419 Penn
street, and will continue to manu-
facture his Athletic brand at 151
Pear street, temporarily, until he
can secure a suitable building for
factory purposes. William G. Kis-
singer, the other member of the
firm of the Central Cigar Co., it
closing out the business affairs of
that concern at 235 West Oley
street.

The cigarette factory opened by
M. G. Hollis & Co. is exceedingly
busy. The firm is already running
a large force of cigarette makers, and
orders are coming in rapidly. More
hands will be added in a short time.

Warren Ernes, cigar manufacturer
of Boyertown, is confined to the
house with typhoid fever.

A. Thalheimer & Sons' cigar box
factory is running to its full capacity,
and it is one of the busiest industries
here at the present time. The firm
is advertising for additional girls
to trim cigar boxes, and experiences
some difficulty in securing them.
Female labor is very scarce in Read-
ing at present.

MAKE MOKE,
^^ CIGARS ^41

Your natural ambition is to make more cigars,
better cigars, handsomer cigars and to do it in
the most economical manner.

We have a cigar makers' table that will
permit you to satisfy your ambition to the full.

It is the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

Its chief merit is wrapped up in that word
^'dieless".

This Table, as shown
in the cut herewith, has
no dies or rollers ; con-
sequently, it eliminates
all the bother, expense
and time necessary to
keep the dies and rollers
in proper shape to work
at all.

The cutting is done
by a circular knife, which
swings out of the opera-
tor's way after the wrap-
per is cut. The knife does
far better work than any
die. It is easier to keep
in proper cutting condi-

tion— it needs no adjustment — it will never roll
up, nor tear a wrapper, no matter how sticky,
and never leaves a white streak on the edge
of dark wrappers as all dies are bound to do.

Having no cumbersome mechanism in the
way and being free from the constant exertion
entailed by such mechanism, the operator works
faster and does better work.

The freedom from obstruction induces palm-
work instead of finger-work, which is of obvious
importance.

The operators like this table because it is
so simple, there being no hidden mechanism
and no complicated parts. They will not work
on other tables if they can get work on this.

This Table does away
with all the objections
to and imperfections of
the old-time tables and
is the latest and most
important development in
the art of making perfect
cigars.

You ought to have it.
No cigar manufactur-
er who is looking out
for his own interest can
afford to have any other
tables, even if he got
them for nothing.

But in case you don't

agree with us, we beg

I to remind you right here

that we can sell you the best table with

dies, and you can see both styles side by side

at either of our offices.

We can't tell you all about it here because
it is a long story.

A letter from you will bring full infor- ■
mation.

42 years of age.

Ex-police officer Charles E Au
man purchased the cigar store con-
ducted by John Beidler, at the
southwest corner of 9th and Walnut
streets, and took possession at once.
He proposes making a number of
alterations to the place and will
completely restock it. Mr. Auman
is a cigarmaker by trade, and was
formerly employed by Stewart,
Newburger & Co.

Levi Berber, cigar manufacturer
of Bernville, purchased a lot of to-
bacco leaf in this city to replenish
his stock. His factory is very busy
on holiday goods.

Phillip Seidel opened a cigar
store and pool room at 12th and
Robeson streets, and has fitted the
place out in a handsome manner.
Mr, Seidel is well known in the
northeastern section, being manager
of the Robeson Base Ball Club.

Cigar manufacturer Edward W.
Ganter is very busy at present and
his factory is running overtime four
nights a week. He is receiving
many orders from the coal regions,
where he enjoys a large trade. He
recently placed a new brand on the
market called the Opera Bou£fe. He
has taken up the manufacture of
smoking and chewing tobaccos, and
this factory is separate. It is rushed
with orders and three brands of
goods are made up, namely: Union
Forever Cuttings, Reading Butts
and Penn Scraps. They are put up
in neat packages.

William H. Houck, ex alderman
of the 4th ward, has opened a cigar
store at 5» South 6th street. He
will have his insurance, real estate
and notary public offices in the
same place. He has the place
divided into two apartments. The
front part is occupied by the cigar
and tobacco counters, cases and
shelves, and the rear with tables,
desk, etc. The place has been
given a coat of paint on the interior
and exterior. All the interior fit
tings are of hard oak.

The large factory of Gumpert
Bros, is working overtime several
evenings each week, owing to the
large number of orders on hand.

Good progress is be made with
the addition to Yocum Bros.' plant,
and the bricklayers have already
reached the fifth floor. The firm is
very busy.

Stewart, Newberger & Co. Ltd.,
have added a number of new hands
during the past few weeks. The fall
trade is reported good, with bright
prospectslfor the winter.

James P Esterly, 750 Penn street,
local distributer of the 218 Sporting
Club cigar, reports business brisk.
He states that trade was never
better.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
A limited number of sales is re-
ported of both of the old and new
crops. Quite a number of growers
are found every year who are bound
to realize on their crops just as early
as possible. Such parties simply
injure the legitimate trade, as it
serves in a measure to establish a
price, and the buyer is quick to
claim it. As it is, many of the sales
are made to some local farmer, who
thus turns an honest penny by pur-
chasing the crops from thirty to fifty
acres, and they thus make more
money than from the crop they have
grown.

We desire to impress upon such
of our growers as from inexperience,
or from what is worse, pure, simple
greed, will deluge his leaf with
water. Don't do it. It often shows
a much darker color, and is liable
to rot in the fermentation of sweat-
ing process.

Our correspondents write :

Montague: "The crop in this
town, ao far as we have seen, is a
choice one; the leaf is of good size;
it is fine and silky, as well as sound.
No sales as yet. ' '

Sunderland: "The tobacco is
about half taken down and stripped
and shows better quality and color
on the average than was expected.
The size of the leaf, especially, ii a
remarkable feature this year, but
the thinness of the leaf will make
light weights. No sales of conse-
quence are reported in this vicinity,
as our farmers are in no hurry to
sell "

Hatfield : "Elas Bach & Son have
bought several lots of new tobacco
the past week at from 12c to 15c.
B. M. Warner, a crop from James
L. Boyle for 15c. Most of the to-
bacco has been taken from the poles
and in a few days will be in the
bundle, ready for sale."

"Stripping is the order of the
day. The heavy fog of the 6th
enabled the growers to take down
a good deal of the crop, so that
stripping is progressing rapidly, and
the leaf shows up better than was
expected; but very little pole sweat
leaf. No sales as yet."

North Hatfield: "The crop has
cured very nicely. C. H. Crafts &
Bro. finished stripping November
II. They declined an offer of i6c
in the bundle. They are fittings
several acres this fall by applying
ashes and several carloads of horse
manure, working them into the
soil."

Suffield: "We are having our
second spell of damp weather, and
our tobacco growers are improving
the opportunity to take down their
tobacco. I hear of two sales of
large crops, one at 17c and the other

ii
V

at 20C, in the bundle. I sent you
a month ago the sale of 250 cases of
190 1 tobacco and the bri'^e."

East Gran by: "Tobacco is com
ing down better than was expected
Millard Griffin has 8 acres stripped
and reports a fine quality. The
shade grown is all taken from the
poles, and it is a very fine crop.
James Day of Hatfield has been

cost to packers who bought in the
bundle a year ago.

A moderate trade in old leaf is
steadily reported, not a satisfactory
business as regards the amount sold,
though dealers are able to secure
fair prices. F. S. Baines reports
the sale of 8ocs for the week.

It is believed only a small amount
of the new crop has yet been taken

here sampling the 1901 crops, and from the sheds for stiipping, though

he reports fine crops. But very few
crops are sold in this town . Buyers
are showing good sense by waiting
for the crop to be stripped, so that
they can judge of its quality."

Windsor: "Mr. Thrall sold to
the American Tobacco Company 23
acres of leaf in the bundle at 22c,
and Mr. Griswold has sold 12 acres
assorted at 24c."

Whately: "So far as the tobacco
has been taken down, there has
been but a moiety of pole burn, and
is fully up to our expectations. It
is leafy as well as fine." — Ameri-
can Cultivator.

EDGERTON, WIS.
Buyers are still industriously at
work gathering up the unsold rem-
nants of the new crop in nearly all
the growing sections, with a pros-
pect that it will be almost entirely
absorbed before the riding ceases.
There are so many belated packers
who have all along cherished the
idea that the crop would not be
lifted early who are trying now to
make up lost time, that the move-
ment bids fair to close with as much
competition as the early buying.
Prices are also well maintained,
considering the quality of the leaf

left.

A few local packers have sold

their contracts to dealers who have
come too late in the field to secure
choice selections, amounting to
about 500 acres.

Inquiry after the balance of the
1901 crop continues, which is lift-

A Valuable Booklet.

The Tobacco World is in receipt
of a neatly printed booklet of sixty
odd pages, entitled "The Individual
Advertising Department," pub-
lished by the Whitman Company of
New York. The object of the
booklet is tersely stated to be as
follows: "This little book is dedi
cated to the man who puts up the
cash to back some other man's idea
of advertising." And, in line with
this thought, it is full of the latest
and best hints and ideas upon wi«e,
sensible advertising. Indeed, a re-
view of its contents convinces us
that the little booklet should be in
the hands of every advertiser, small
or large, who desires late, up-to- date
advice upon modern advertising
plans and methods. The price of
the booklet is $i, and it can be

secured by addressing the pub-
lishers.

Items from Youmerton,

[Editorial Note — Among the
news letters received by The World
this week was the following, and,
being somewhat odd, yet spicy, it is
herewith given at its face value.
Youmerton seems to be a hustling,
lively place, and our correspondent
a close observer of events]

Youmerton, Nov. 17, 1902.

Manufacturer Sam Lidd doesn't
know it all; but may know half of
it. Sam sent in a nice letter to the
meeting of the Veteran Ladies* Liter
ary League the other night, offering
a prize of $50 for the best name to
be given his new ten- cent cigar.
Rumor has it that five minutes after
Sam's letter was read the League
meeting ended with a rumpus, and
the path to the post office was more
than lined with hurrying, anxious-
faced spinsters and other members
of the fair sex. After delivering
something like a ton of mail in two
days to Sam's factory, the mail
carriers took to their beds; there's
not a postage stamp in town, and
prices on envelopes have gone up
with a bound. Sam kept tab on
some of the names suggested for the
cigar, and says that up to the time
he tuckered out the figures stood
about as follows: "Dove," and
"Baby," each 204; "Kiss Me,"
^ 108; "Love Me, "98; "Pa'sSolace,"
14; "Rock Me to Sleep," 5; other
similar names, count incomplete.
Sam hasn't decided upon the cigar's
name yet, but he has decided that
some of the old girls are willing to
boom the cigar business if given a
fair chance and inducement — argu
ment and assertion to the contrary
notwithstanding.

The only dealer in snuff in our
enterprising town, Mr. Pinch, is a
taking man. A good man, too, for
he is often on his (s)neeze.

When Jake Gammon died some

time ago, his widow opened a cigar
store. She took first premium at
the fair last fall for being the home-
liest woman in this county. Within
a week after opening the cigar store,
however, Mrs. Gammon had the
bachelors of the town smiling and
kittenish, and last night she ran off
and married Si Jones, just home
from Cuba with a carload of the best
grown. Our old maids are gossip-
ing over the happy event, and the
boom in the opening of new cigar
stores promises to be next door to
marvelous.

Bill Hurse, the undertaker, has a
brier pipe which he says came to
glad America between the teeth of
the captain of the Mayflower. Tues-
day, he filled and smoked the ancient
relic at a meeting of the village An-
anias Club, and as a result he will
be busy for three days preparing
shrouds and caskets for those ( f his
thoughtless comrades who got too
near the pipe while it was in opera-
tion.

Our genial Mayor, Jim Makkay»
didn't smoke three years ago when
he ran for office, and only a big bank
roll landed him in the place. Last
election day he walked about town
with a Havana in his mouth and a
pocket of cut plug handy for the
boys. He was elected with a whoop,
can get all the credit he wants, and
is a favorite with all the girls in
town. Which would indicate that
a good consumer of the weed inspires
faith among the people.

Banker Rothgold has closed his
savings bank and security institution
and reopened his old cigar factory
on Main street. Mr. Rothgold says
bondclipping and other financial
duties are pleasant and all that, but
he felt it a duty to get into a busi-
ness that would net him more
millions per year. He smokes gold
leaf.

Hi. Duberry's funeral yesterday
was properly solemn and fairly well
attended. The widow cried moder-
ately and said she felt "awful bad,
but mebbe it was for the best."
Sunday night Mrs. Duberry sat
down on Hi's meerschaum pipe —
the one he had been "coloring" for
years — and when she got up the
pipe was out of business. She broke
the sad news of the calamity as
gently as possible to Hi — but he
was suffering from brain trouble re-
sulting from trying to read and
understand the laws regulating to-
bacco, its manufacture, etc , and
this, combined with the shock of
the broken pipe, soon landed him
beyond need of mortal help or sym-
pathy. The widow thoughtfully-
placed a sack of tobacco and the
fragments of the cherished pipe in
her loved one's coffin, ere it was
forever closed. Her eyes, falling
upon a box of wax tapers near by.

caused her to say tearfully, "Ah!
no; he won't need them where he's
going." Gone Hi, but not for
gotten.

Dr. Greenbones passed Farmer
I,on Judd's barn the other morn
ing, and of course they exchanged
greetings "Mornin' Doc ," said
Lon. "What's up with you to
daj ?" "Curing patients, as usual,"
responded the doctor. "And how
is it with you, farmer?" ' Curing ter
bacco, same's ever, " drawlingly re
joined Lon.

Little 10 year old Joey Brown
smoked his first genuine Havana
last Wednesday. The hospital
authorities state, with some reserva-
tion, that care and a good constitu-
tion will see Joey well, come
Christmas.

Mrs. Trubbel and Mrs. Fitz, two
of our South Main street residents,
got into a heated argument Monday
over the merits of their respective
husbands, and it is possible future
trouble may ensue as a consequence.
"My Charley," said pretty Mrs.
Trubbel, "is a very economical man
and I can prove it, too Now,
Charley smokes, and so last Christ-
mas I bought him a big box of
lovely sixty cents cigars, and he's
only smoked two of them for I
looked in the box yesterday and
know exactly how many's left "
"Humph!" put in Mrs. Fitz, "my
John's more saving than that. He
came home the other night and said,
'Jane, here's a cigar Charley Trub-
bel gave me out of a box his wife
gave him last Christmas. Soon's I
saw it, Jane. I thought, well, I don't
want to smoke it. So you keep it,
Jane, and give it to the new minister
when he calls.' " At last accounts
the dominie was seeking another
charge.

Good-looking Harry Kounterput
his picture on the last brand of ci-
gars he put on the market, and since
then has received over twenty pro
posals of marriage, and goodness
knows how many other kinds of
offers, from fair unknown corres-
pondents. As Harry is already
married he will have to stop send
ing out his picture, emigrate to
Utah or change his face.

Burglars visited the house of to-
bacconist Mudder Tuesday night,
but made so much noise they awak
ened him. The burglars had a close
shave. However, they did not lose
anything of great value; the cheap
wig Mr. Mudder succeeded in get-
ting his hands on is scarcely worth
fifty cents. His motto has always
been "Welcome," and he cannot be
blamed for not doing more for his
unexpected visitors.

At the last regular meeting of the
Youmerton Cigar Manufacturers the
urbane president started to announce

that Levatter Labiasuperiorisalli-

quinnassia would make an address.

but ere he got through the gilled

speaker's name the hour of adjourn-
ment arrived and the members went
down to the depot to help Mr —
well, you can have it — unload his
name from two lreij>ht cars. He
got in on the regular 6 30 p. m.,
and the rest of him on the 11 p.m.
way freight, packed on ice.

Horace Rank has petitioned the
court to permit him to change his
name Mr. Rank wishes to enter
the cigar trade and has a discrimi
nating conception of the eternal fit
ness of things "What's in a name"
might give cigar sales a backset.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

Novelty Tobacco Attidcs Most Pay Tax,
An enterprising manufacturer of
novelty goods stated that if not in
violation of law he would make
some jugs, barrels and other articles
from tobacco, and sell the goods
free of tax to dealers for advertising
purposes. It was advised that a
tax of six cents per pound is im
posed on all tobacco, however pre-
pared, manufactured and sold, or
removed for consumption or sale,
and that novelty packages could
not be manufactured from tobacco
free from this tax, and the applica-
tion was denied.

Bonded Premises Most be Contigoons.
A collector presented the question
whether a manufacturer may use
and include in his bonded premises
a building situated on a different
lot from that on which the main
factory is located, and provided a
public street separated the build
ings. He was informed that the
bonded premises must be continuous
and exclusive; that is, that one
portion of the bonded premises must
adjoin the other portion and be con-
tiguous thereto, and the whole used
exclusively for the manufacture of
tobacco and for no other business,
and that the premises as described
in the statement, Form 36, must
agree with the description in the
bond, Form 40. It was also ad
vised that the bonded premises may
be divided by a street or other public
way, provided the entire lot could
be described by metes and bounds,
which may or may not cross or in
elude a public way; but that no
warehouse, workshop or storage
room separated from other factory
buildings and located upon another
lot not adjoining the first would be
approved.

Tobacco MtBafutarcrs' Bond.
A collector inquired whether the
instructions printed on a tobacco
manufacturer's bond has been modi
fied with respect to the amount of
the bond and the method that
should be employed to fix the penal
sum. It was advised that the in-
structions had not been changed,
and that a tobacco manufacturer
should execute a bond for whatever
amount was fixed by the collector,
who would not accept a bond for
less than $2,000 nor more than S20,-
000 in any case; and that the addi-
tional security offered above $2,000
may be determined by the number
of machine*, presses and mills that
would be used, and that the amount
of the bond should be determined by
the quantum of business proposed to
be done by the manufacturer. It was
further advised that if a collector
finds in his office a bond for a sum
less than would protect the Govern-

ment in the collection of its rev-
enues, he should require the manu-
facturer to execute a new bond for
an increased amount, not to exceed
$20,000, with the same sureties; and
if with additional or new sureties,
the manufacturer would be required
to file an inventory on Form 70a (or
Form 70b if a cigar manufacturer) ^
to determine the state of his ac-
counts and to fix the liability, if any
accrued, on the old bond.

Leaf Dealers Can Not Sell Scraps. ^^

A dealer in leaf tobacco com- W
plained that his collector had re-
fused to issue special permitsauthor-
izing him to buy and sell cigar clip-
pings and cuttings unless he would
qualify as a manufacturer of tobacco
therefore he appealed to the office
for information. He was advised
that no person other than a quali-
fied manufacturer of tobacco or ci-
gars could manufacture or buy ftnd
sell tobacco scraps, cuttings and
clippings in bulk as material, and
that this privilege was confined
directly by statute to qualified man-
ufacturers who could under special
permit sell to each other their bi-
products in bulk as material and
without payment of tax tnd as pro-
vided by Regulations, Ko. 8, pages
8 and 9, made in pursuance of Sec-
tion 3372 of the Revised Statutes.
The Regulations, page 17, provided
that dealers in leaf tobacco will not
be privileged to buy refuse, scraps^
clippings, cuttings or other bi pro-
ducts of tobaccp or cigar factories^
and will not hgve the right to man-
ufacture fine cut shorts, scraps,
cuttings or other manufactures of
tobacco for the purpose of selling
the same as material to manufac-
turers or other persons.

Usf Tobacco Sold in Isttallmcnts.
A dealer in leaf tobacco stated
that on account of the manner in
which he kept his personal books,
showing sales of leaf tobacco which
were delivered in installments, and
paid for by cigar manufacturers a»
they received the tobacco, he would
like to have the privilege of enter-
ing the total sale on his Book 59 at
onetime, although he would deliver
the tobacco subsequently and on in-
stallments, as ordered and paid for.
It was advised that it was not proper
for a cigar manufacturer to charge
himself on his Book 73 or report on
his monthly return. Form 72, any
tobacco which he had not actually-
received at his factory, and that a

dealer selling leaf tobacco to a cigar
manufacturer must enter on his
Book 59 the actual quantity sold and
delivered. Therefore that it was
not permissible for the leaf dealer to
enter on his book at one time the
entire lot of tobacco to be set aside
and delivered in installments as or-
dered and paid for, but that Book 59
should show the actual quantity of
tobacco shipped from time to time
and date of shipment.

Sample Cigars Can Not be Sent by Mail.
A collector presented the question
whether a cigar manufacturer could
distribute through the mails un
stamped small boxes containing one
or more cigars taken from stamped
boxes. It was advised that manu-
facturers are not privileged to make
use of small boxes or subdivisions
separately from the stamped pack-
age, and that all subdivisions must
be cut off at one end, disclosing the
number and the size of the cigars,
and that such subdivisions must
remain in the original stamped boxes
until sold to consumers. It was
further advised that all cigars must
be put up in boxes containing 12,
13. 25 or other statutory number of
cigars, each box to be properly
labeled, branded and stamped. It
was pointed out that the sizes 12
and 13 were intended as sample
packages, authorized by section 32.
act of October i, 1890 It was
further advised that every person,
whether a manufacturer or a dealer,
who sells, or offers for sale, or de-
livers, or offers to deliver, any ci-
gars in any other form than in new
boxes,properly packed and stamped,
and containing a statutory number
of cigars, would incur the liabilities
in;posed by section 3,39* of the
Revised statutes of the United
States; but that this statute was not
construed as preventing the sale of
cigars at retail over the counter
from boxes properly packed, labeled
. and stamped, but is intended to pre-
vent any person, either a manu-
facturer or dealer, from soliciting
orders or filling orders and deliver-
ing the cigars by mail in unstamped
boxes or other packages; and that
all cigars, whether of domestic or
imported manufacture, found in the
mails not properly packed, labeled
and stamped would be subject to
forfeiture.

31

his office and whether the person
who desires to purchase stamps
must, make application on Form
468, He was informed that a col
lector of Internal Revenue is author
ized to sell stamps for the payment
of tax on cigars brought from Porto
Rico and delivered at any port of
entry in the United States, and that
any person may purchase stamps to
be affixed, before shipment, to boxes
of cigars manufactured in Porto
Rico intended for sale in the United
States without making any appli-
cation on Form 468. It was ad-
vised, further, that if unstamped
cigars are brought from Porto Rico
and entered for warehouse or for
immediate consumption on arrival, !
the Collector of Customs is required
to issue to the owner or importer a
requisition for Internal Revenue
stamps on Form 471, which must
describe the merchandise, name of
the consignee, and the vessel and
port from which the cigars were
shipped; and that in no case was it
necessary for a manufacturer in
Porto Rico to file copy of his bond
or other papers with the collector ,
of Internal Revenue in the United
States.

BY DIVERS HANDS

Outside of Russia the fact most
generally known about Peter the
Great is that he studied shipbuild-
ing in England and then went home
and William C. Whitneyized the
Russian navy, but in "holy Russia"
many other stories that are charac-
teristic of the greatest of all her sons
are current. They say in Russia
that Peter was so in love with Eng-
lishmen, and so contemptuous of
the brains of all Russians — save his
own, that he helped many a Britisher
to get rich at the expense of the poor
Russians, and that in one case he
went out of his way to ruin a Russian
in order to fill the pockets of certain
Englishmen.

The man of whom the story is told
was one Orlenka. Orlenka, so the
legend goes, was the first dealer in
tobacco at wholesale in Russia. He
was a bright, energetic and enter
prising merchant, but he was no
courtier. Small wonder. Courtiers
are rarely madeof stay-at-homes, and
in Peter*s time, he — and those who
had gone to foreign lands in his
suite — were really the only traveled
Russians. Peter loved English sea-
farers. Their tongues were as rough
and as ready as his own; the tough-
est of them could drink almost as
deep, and they all loved strong to-
bacco smoked in well seasoned clay
pipes, just like the Czar. Peter was
fond of work, but after hours he
loved to drink and smoke. Of
evenings, in his frame house in St.
Petersburg — no palace in any sense
— he was wont to gather his English
boon companions about him. Toss-
pot though he was, he loved chess
— the abstemious man's game — and
played it well. The antagonists
played in absolute silence, and
saluted one another after each move
with blinding whiffs of tobacco
smoke. It wasn't a particularly nice
thing to do, but it was Peter's way.
Well, the Czar bullied his subjects,
built his ships, founded his dynasty,
and left behind him one of the great
names of history, so I guess his per-

after all.

And just about the time Peter was
doing all these spectacular things

Orlenka, was in the hardest kind of

morning and at night hid his intak-

Notwithstanding which he told 'children of the Czar get atthy hands,
luck, and was making bad worse by ' everybody that his "little father," This, tobacco! By all the ikons of
howling about it. And his friends the Czar, had ruined him. It seems all the saints, but thou art a thief
and relations, and, heaven knows, to me that I have heard other to- and a rogue, and an enemy to the

Czar."

From words, Peter proceeded to
acts. Seizing Orlenka by the nape
of the neck he literally wiped up the
floor of his own shop with him. He
smashed every pipe in the mer-
chant's stock, and piling into one
heap every pound of tobacco in the
place set fire to it.

I The trembling Orlenka. by this
I time, had guessed the identity of his
terrible visitor, and with blanched
cheeks, shaking limbs and eyes
round and lacklustre with dread and
apprehension, looked on in speech-
less amaze. He didn't even protest
when the Czar uncovered his hoard
by the chimneyplace and put it into
his own pocket.

But this was the limit of Peter's
grim joke. The next instant he
poured all the money into Orlenka 's
lap and topped it with a fat purse
of his own goldpieces.

"Thouhast hadthypunishment,"
he said. "Now for thy reward: one
of my ships sails for America to-

of studying tobacco. Thou art to

Helps to Manufacturers.

In the manufacture of nickel ci
gars — a class of cigars which will
always engage the best efforts of the
largest manufacturers — it is the
combination which counts. At-
tractive advertising will assist in
introducing the goodsand in smooth-
ing the path of the salesman, but it
is the combination in thecigar which
must be relied upon to hold the
market. It is a noteworthy fact
that the public taste in nickel cigars
is sectional, i. e., a cigar which will
please New York may have a hard
row to hoe if placed in Philadelphia
or Boston or Chicago, and vice versa.
Each of the big sellers among the
well known nickel brands appears
to have its own public, and new-
comers are invariably received with
coldness and sometimes with suspi-
cious ill will. We all know, even as
to the very greatly advertised nickel
brands, that the manufacturers lay
stress upon one brand in one section ,
upon another in another, and so on.
And the sectional taste of the public
appears to be pretty steadfast. A
nickel cigar once accepted, say in
St. Louis, may always count upon
holding its own in that territory if
only the manufacturer understands
his business.

The nickel cigar may be said to
be purely an article of blends. Its
chance of success is all the better,
of course, if its filler actually con-
tains some really good Havana, but
the man who should say that it is
absolutely indispensable that a nickel
cigar should contain genuine Hav-
ana would be instantly sat down by
cigar salesmen as an ass, for the
simply reason that several of our

domestic types of cigar leaf, if old
and well seasoned, give to the aver
age smoker of nickel cigars precisely
the same satisfaction that a moderate
quantity of low priced genuine Hav-
ana in the filler would yield. You
know we managed to do absolutely
without Havana even in our ten-
cent cigars, and also, it is whispered,
in some "clear Havana" brands for
many months during the late Amer-
ican-Spanish war. The public was
"on to" this little game and treated
everybody with the most indulgent
kindness. That same public knows
perfectly well there is no Havana
tobacco whatever in many a so-
called "Havana filled" nickel cigar.
It tolerates all such allegations but
is not deceived by them. The public
regards it all as a little joke in which
it is itself a partner.

It is no disparagement to the
average manufacturer of nickel ci-
gars to say, and certainly none is in-
tended in saying it, that the leaf
salesmen who call upon him in the
performance of their duties know
vastly more about how different
types of domestic tobaccos will
blend to produce satisfactory results
than he knows. If these leaf sales-
men didn't know these things they
would be of little value either to
their employers or to their custom-
ers. One leaf salesman informs the
Tobacco World that he has found
the following combination success
ful in producing an excellent nickel
cigar: A fine old Onondaga B to
bacco mixed with an equal quantity
of old Pennsylvania broad leaf B to
bacco, a Wisconsin binder and a
Sumatra wrapper.

Leaf salesmen are invited to com
municate with the Tobacco World
on this subject. Let us see if we
cannot be of help to the manufac-
turer.

A Cigarette Fiend.

Paul Woodward, the convicted
Camden, N. J., murderer, said to a
visitor, a day or two ago: "I have
smoked 2,86ocigarettes since I came
into this jail on October 4 I have
kept track of the books of cigarette I
papers I have used and that is the
exact total. Isn't that right, Ed?" |
he said to the turnkey.

"That's so, Paul," said the 1
officer. '

An excessive quantity to smoke, '
of course. The young man would |
have been far better off mentally and |
physically if he had smoked good
cigars in moderation.

Cigars are never smoked to ex-
cess like the "white sticks."

THE TR UST AND THE TRADE.

[Under this caption The Tobacco World proposes to publish a series of signed arti-
cles by members of all classes of the tobacco trade. The discussion will be
kept entirely free from rancor, while It will at the same time be
perfectly candid and fair to all parties concerned.

H.— Gulliver and the Lilipntians.

By Max Meyer, of Meyer & Mendelsohn.

The trust Gulliver, from all ac-
counts, has not had things quite all
his own way since first he set foot
upon the Isle of Liliput. You re-
member that the LiHputians tied
their giant visitor down with in-
numerable threads. Well, that, to
my thinking, at any rate, is the
situation as to the trust Gulliver
and his smaller competitors in the
cigar manufacturing field. He
could easily finish any one of them
at one mouthful, but they are like
gnats or mosquitoes in summer time
— too numerous and too spry, and
so they torment Gulliver while at
the same time each one prospers for
himself.

It is said to be the declared pur-
pose of the tobacco trust to monop-
olize the cigar business of the United
States, but this, it can never do, in

Mr. Gulliver's clothes. The sun is
shining on the island of Liliput,
and up to date the only gloomy face
there is that of Mr. Gulliver, who
has squandered his millions and
who is farther from his ambition
than he was at the beginning. The
little chaps are as chipper as they
were before, and now, behold, their
brethren, the retail tobacconists,
who are smaller even than they, and
still more numerous, are coming to
their assistance. The stings these
hosts of little enemies are inflicting
must burn in many a spot on poor
Gulliver's carcass.

Whether the United Cigar Stores
Company is or is not an arm of the
tobacco trust is known best at trust
headquarters, but I think there can
be no question that the United Ci-
gar Stores Company is a hostile and

r

niy judgment, firstly because the unfair competitor in New York city

general public will not permit it,
and secondly because its difficulty
is precisely that of Gulliver — its
small competitors are too numerous
to be killed oflF or overcome. I am
reminded that the tobacco trust
succeeded several years ago in its
undertaking to get what practically
amounts to a monopoly of the plug
business. But here Gulliver was
fighting with chaps somewhat of his
own size, and he overcame them
one by one as was inevitable con
sidering the length of his purse and
the reach of his arm; or, to change
the metaphor, the sea simply swal-
lowed up the rivers. But to discuss
the chances of the trust's getting a
monopoly of the cigar business we
will have to put the trust back into

and wherever else it has opened
stores. If two men of equal physical
powers engage in fisticuflFs on the
sidewalk a crowd will immediately
surround them and watch the scrap,
but if a big man were to begin kick-
ing a little child the first impulse of
the onlookers would be to cry
"shame," and the second to wipe
up the sidewalk with the ruffian.
To my eyes the struggle between the
United Cigar Stores Company and
the small retailers is just like an at-
tack of a man upon a child, and I
think an equally clear conception of
this fact by the public may be de-
pended upon to check the aggres-
siveness of this corporation. The
public won't stand for it, as the
slang of the day has it. *

Sumatra Coverings Not \ while the coverings are not the
Dutiable. | usual ones for imported tobacco

In the United States Circuit Court
in New York on November i8.
Judge Townsend handed down a
decision on the protest of Laverge

& Schneider against paying duties
on the wooden crates used by them
to cover their Sumatra.

The Court sustains the claim of
the importers that boxes used as
coverings for Sumatra tobacco are
not subject to an additional duty
as prescribed in Section 19 of the
Act of June 10, 1890.

The boxes were classified for duty
at 35 per cent, ad valorem under
the provisions of paragraph 208,
Act of 1897, on the ground that
they were unusual coverings. Judge
Townsend says in his opinion that

usual ones for

there is no evidence that such boxes
I were designed for use otherwise
I than in the bona fide transportation
I of tobacco.

Laverge & Schneider, and other
protesting importers, will obtain a
refund of all the duties they have
paid on these wooden boxes, and in
future such boxes will be imported
free of duty, provided the Treasury
Department accepts the judgment of
thecourt in the Laverge & Schneider
case and takes no appeal. In the
latter event, the case will go to the
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals

Laverge & Schneider were repre
sented by Frederick W Brooks,
Customs Revenue Attorney, of 27
William street, New York.

The Only Impolite Smokers

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y , Nov. 22 I902.

Dear Medicine Man :

What people is it who are said
to be the only impi)liie smokers?
Angelo Craven.

Answer

The Servians. All travelers agree
that the Servian is the only smoker
on earth who will respond to a re
quest for a light with gruflfness or
take a light without returning
thanks. Yet I have personally
known some Servians engaged in
the business of retailing cigars and
tobacco who were and who are
among the most courteous of men.

Those who dislike the Servians,
for one reason or another, are in the
habit of alleging that because the
herding of swine is the one great
source of wealth in Servia. the pigs
of that country have communicated
their own bad manners to the rest
of the population. This, of course,
is mere sarcasm. There is, never-
theless, some solid ground for the
accusation of impoliteness against
the smokers of Servia. For in
stance, the late Theodore Child in
his delightful book, "Summer Holi
days," gives the following picture
of an actual incident on board the
steamer Ferdinand Max on one of
her trips down the Danube in 1889.
"There is a group of Servians who
are drinking and talking politics
with fury, shouting and stamping
like maniacs. Another Servian,
reclining at full length in thesaloon,
where the table is laid from morn-
ing until night, and where some-
body is always eating or drinking,
calls ferociously for a cigar The
waiter brings a 'Virginianer,' and,
pulling the straw out half-way, he

presents it thus to the young pasha,

who takes it lazily, and lights it

without a word of thanks to the
slave."

Turkish Meerschaum.

Meerschaum, which is extensively
utilized for the manufacture of
pipes, is almost entirely confined to
Turkey The meerschaum can be
mined by any person at Sari Sou,
Sepetdje, Gheikli, and Menlou, on
payment of five pias to the admin-
istration of mines, the cost of a
permit. The mines at Sari Sou are
situated at a distance of about seven-
teen miles to the east of Eskichehir

The pit at Sari Sou was opened
twenty years ago, but to day there
are 8 000 mines opened, of which
however, only 2,000 are worked,
the remainder having been aban-
doned. Some 4 000 miners work
these mines, and every Friday a
market is held at which they dis-
pose of the blocks of meerschaum
they have extracted during the
week. For the accommodation of
the workmen some 1,000 huts have
been erected.

At Sepetdje, about eighteen miles
to the northeast of Eskichehir, there
are seme 20,000 pits in a space of
six miles, of which only 150 are
worked, all the others being ex
hausted. It is said that these mines
were opened 1 ,000 years ago, which
is not incredible, as it is well known
that magnesia was formerly used
for many purposes other than the
fabrication of pipes. Moreover,
fuller's earth used to be worked on
a vast scale by the ancients. The
meerschaum mines are worked by
some 500 miners, who live in the
surrounding villages. At Oheikli,
in the neighborhood of Sepetdje,
there are 3,000 pits, of which only
100 are worked, giving employment
to 400 miners.

The only place where the admin-
istration of mines authorized meer-
schaum to be extracted is Menlou,
and here there are only twenty pits
actually worked by a hundred work-
men. The working of these meer
schaum deposits called the Es-
kichehir mines which formerly were
actively worked, is reduced to 1,770
pits, giving employment to some
5,000 miners, the greater proportion
of whom are Kurds and Persians.
These deposits are worked on the
following primitive systems: A fore-
man or ganger, having from two to
fifteen men under his supervision,
having pegged out a pieceof ground,
generally a metre wide, a pit is
sunk until a red, clayey earth,
which is the first sign of the ex
istence of magnesia, is reached.
Sometimes this is reached at a few
metres from the surface, but as a
rule the miners have to dig down
some twenty metres, and often forty

and even to sixty metres, before
reaching the red earth wherein the
meerschaum is disseminated in
kidney and other irregular forms
The volume of these blocks seldom
exceeds thirty to forty cubic centi-
metres, the greater part of them
being the size of a walnut or small
apple. On reaching the gangue
containing the strata of magnesia
the miners drive horizontal shafts
through the red clay. This, how-
ever, is no easy matter, as they
cannot detach or pick oflF more than
fifty grammes of the clay at a stroke
Some of these galleries are no less
than a quarter of a mile in length,
and it sometimes happens that
owing to these being pierced at
random different gangs meet under
ground . They work night and day ,
the galleries being lighted with
petroleum. After a certain quantity
of blocks have been extracted, the
meerschaum, still enveloped in its
gangue, is drawn out of the pit and
stacked in the tuiners* barracks.
These blocks are bought by the
manufacturers of Eskichehir in job
lots every Friday, and there are
some one hundred and fifty persons
who regularly attend these markets.
The meerschaum is then taken to
Eskichehir, where the blocks are
cleaned , the operation consisting of
scraping and cutting the blocks
with a sharp instrument or knife,
the meerschaum being still soft and
easily cut into any shape or form.
Over 1,100 persons are occupied in
cleaning and shaping these blocks,
which, after being thoroughly
cleaned, are separated into four
classes, according to the size and
quality. These blocks being ready
for sale, a bargain is struck between
the pipe manufacturers and the
commission agents and merchants
at Eskichehir, of whom there are
about a dozen. The latter then
pack the blocks of these four classes
with very great care into boxes of
equal size, each block being wrap-
ped in cotton to avoid any friction
or shock between the pieces. The
actual annual output of these mines
varies from 120 to 150 tons. The
Eskichehir meerschaum is very
highly prized in Europe on account
of its superior quality, and these
deposits, notwithstanding that they
have been worked for centuries, are
still considered to be inexhaustible.

American Cigar Co. Raises
Wages.

The seven thousand employes
of the American Cigar Company in
Philadelphia have received an ad-
vance in wages that averages 15
per cent. Their employes live
mostly in Philadelphiaand Camden,
the largest number working in the
factory at Tenth street and Wash-
ington avenue.

The daily newspapers which state
that the American Cigar Company
in voluntarily granting this advance
is following the example set by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
are in error, for the fact is the
American Cigar Company's allied
corporation, the Continental To-
bacco Company, was the first of the
great employers of labor in the
United States to voluntarily raise
wages. This it did over six months
ago, with very satisfactory results.

Prof. Lindsay on Porto Rico
Tobacco.

In the course of a lecture recently
given before the students of Wharton
School, U of P., Samuel McCune
Lindsay, U. S. Commissioner of
Education, of Porto Rico, said:

"Aside from one valley in Cuba,
the tobacco grown in Porto Rico is
as good as that produced anywhere
in the West Indies. Heretofore it
has not been properly cured, but now
they are producing lighter wrappers,
and the demand for the product is
increasing in the United States."

Prof. Lindsay predicts a bright
future for the island.

Should Smoke Cigars.

Excessive cigarette smoking is
said to have had much to do in in-
fluencing 17-year-old Martin Herrin
to attempt suicide by inhaling il-
luminating gas. He was found un-
conscious at his home on North
Second street, Philadelphia, Novem-
ber 18, but was sent to a hospital
and will recover.

Flogged the Mayor.

Francis Milan, mayor of West
Tampa, according to Tampa ad
vices, was decoyed into the woods
last Saturday by alleged "Kuklux-
ers," severely beaten and then de-
ported to Key West. Milan, it is
said, was so treated because he
interfered in labor troubles. He
returned home Sunday, and will in-
stitute criminal proceedings against
his persecutors.

Contentment.

Give me a pipe and give me a book,
An easy chair in the ingle nook, —
What though the storm blow high?
Contented and happy am I.

/. Bernheim & Son 's Big Sale

Havana, November 15, 1902
The Havana market for the week
ending November 15 has been more
active again, and sales in the city
foot up 5 050 bales, although if
country purchases were added fully
fifty per cent, additional business
might be reported . Partido factory
vegas were mostly in demand, and
the market has now been almost
swept bare of this tobacco, as the
few remaining scattered lots here
and there play no role whatever.
According to the statement of one
of the principal buyers of one of the
big syndicates, Vuelta Abajo factory
vegas have also disappeared from
the market, therefore what now re-
mains consists principally of Vuelta
Abajo and Reraedios fillers, yet if
any of the northern buyers are less
particular, as regards colors and
fineness of texture, they may still
find some Vuelta Abajo and Semi
Vuelta factory vegas to help them
out in case of need, although the
time to pick the cream has gone by
for this season. While prices for
Vueltas are high. Remedios has
been going begging, and buyers had
everything in their favor. Whether,
however, a reaction may not set in
when the demand increases later on
is an unsolved riddle. The above
mentioned 5 ,050 bales can bedi vided
into 2,000 bales Vuelta Abajo, 2,-
000 bales Partido, and 1,050 bales
of Remedios, while as regards desti-
nation United States buyers took
fully 4,050 bales, Havana cigar
manutacturers 750, and Europe 250.
The 1903 Crop.
From the Vuelta Abajo come re-
ports of more damage; in one lo-
cality the vegueros have lost their
plantings three times in succession,
and still, if their money or credit
lasts, they will make a fourth trial,
thus demonstrating the indomitable
pluck these poor people possess.
Matters in the Partido district are
not quite as bad, and Don Luis
Marx, for instance, will begin top-
ping his saved portion of early
plants in Alquizar next week, while
Don Adolfo Mocller will complete
the transplanting of 3,000,000 matas
next week upon his plantations,
"Hevia" and "Iberia." Eye wit-
nesses say that the plants set out
previously are growing splendidly
under cheese cloth, and will un-
doubtedly yield a handsome return
to this enterprising planter and mer-
chant. Other houses of Havana
who also own farms in Gnira de
Melena township, like G. Salomon
y Hnos., who control the "Favor-

ita," Neuhaus, Neumann & Co.,
who own the "Gloria," are busy
transplanting, and Jose Menendez is
likewise setting out plants upon his
farms in Caimito. Seedlings are
quoted from $2 50 to $4 per 1,000,
therefore only the well to do plant-
ers can buy at these figures, while
the poor vegueros will have to wait
until prices decline again later on,
and thus lose valuable time.

The Strike.

The threat of the cigarmakers to
extend thestrikehas not materialized
yet, although the Flor del Todoand
Lord Beaconsfield factory of Segun-
do Alvarez & Co. is said to have
been affected by their men leaving
their tables. The Havana Com-
mercial factories are still idle, but
all other factories are working with
full forces. Various labor unions in
Havana have agreed to a sympa-
thetic strike to support the cigar-
makers. It is said, however, that
through lack of funds the men may
be compelled to come to terms.
Exports by the steamer Mexico
amount to 2,500,000 cigars, and it
is stated that the full effect of the
strike may be felt more next week,
in so far as the closed factories had
still some stock on hand unpacked,
which they have been able to deliver
to their commission houses for ex-
port. H. Upmann & Co. have
shipped 1,000,000 cigars, Bridat,
Mont Ros & Co. 400,000, Neuhaus,
Neumann & Co. 300,000, Don Carlos
Blasco 100,000, principally of his
own brands, Vitalia and Reina del
Prado, and others in proportion.

of tumbadero factory vegas, nearly
700 bales, through their Mr. C. C.

though the price paid for it was
Tery high, still they had to have the
goods, and when it became known
that the lot was gone they could
have resold it here at once with a

Bernardo Fernandez, of Mil
waukee, Wis., purchased some
choice tumbadero wrappers (re-
served for them previously) and
Vuelta Abajo fillers, amounting to
300 bales.

J. Friedman & Co.. of Chicago,
purchased up to i ,000 bales of Par-

and Remedios, partly direct from
the packers in the country.

Lewis Sylvester & Sons have
bought through Max Stern about

about 500 bales additional in the
City of Havana.

Doingi of Havata Honses for the Week Endiag
November 15, 1902.

J. Bernheim & Sons report hav-
ing made the biggest sale this week
that had ever been made by a single
firm in the island of Cuba. While
further particulars are withheld, it
is believed that it refers to 7,000
bales of Remedios taken by a New
York manufacturing concern, pre-

sumably the United Cigar Manu
facturers.

American Cigar Co. has shipped
over 2,000 bales of old tobacco to
the United States during the last
two weeks, and now is getting 5,-
000 bales more ready to be exported
north. After this is done it will still
have 5,000 bales of old tobacco left
here in warehouses, and 4,000 new
Partido and 7,000 bales of new
Vuelta Abajo. Mr. Lozano, the
buyer for this concern in Havana,
has the idea that later on prices
might decline, and for this reason is
holding back in making further
purchases, but may he not be mis
taken? Time will tell; at present
everything seems to favor the deal
ers here.

Garcia & Co. -Don Manuel Garcia
has returned from his trip to the
country highly satisfied with their
buyer, Praviano's purchases, and
while yet in the Vuelta Abajo cables
reached him to continue buying for
their customers, thus proving con
clusively that the latter must have
been highly pleased with the selec
tions made of this year's crop by
Don Manuel. Further details of the
extent of his purchases or sales made
are, however, withheld.

Louis Kuttnauer is said to have
acquired already some 400 bales of
Vuelta, Partidos and Remedios to
baccos.

Jose Santalla & Co — This old
established firm (although accord
ing to Spanish law a firm must al
ways contain the name of the part
ners. or one partner at least, in the
'tyle. and for this reason there are
such frequent changes in the com
raercial firm name») consists of Don
Jose Santalla and Avelino Pazos
The former has been connected with
the business for thirty-six years and
he is still as active as many a man
•f forty years of age. Only two
davs ago he went to the country
riding on horseback from morning
till night, in order to pick up the
roveted 500 bales of Partido tobacco
from various farmers, and he sue
ceeded in closing up this transac
tion. Don Avelino Pazos. the
junior partner, has only been in the
firm of Jose Santalla & Co for the
past five years, although he counts
his experience with fourteen years
devoted to the study and handling
of the incomparable Cuban leaf,
and as he is the senior member of
the well-known firm of A. Pazos &
Co . of New York, United States
readers hardly need to be told any-
thing about him, as be is well
known as far West as the Rocky
mountains, South as far as Tampa
and Key West and North and East
up to Canada and the Pine Tree
state. Having been brought up in
Cuba, although a Spaniard by birth,
whotalks English as fluently as any-
one, he not alone knows all about
tobacco raising and handling of the
leaf, but he is also a thorough sales-
man who can talk convincingly to
the buyer, demonstrating the virtue
of the leaf. During a short stay of
only eight days, he sold some four
hundred bales of Partido and Re-
medios tobacco, and he intends to

spend the winter months in Havana

ous clientele of the house of Jose

Dunn & Co Favorable.

Joseph C. Hey mann ,of T. J Dunn
& Co., referring to the organization
movement of the retail cigar dealers,
said: "Our house is in favor of the
movement and T. J. Dunn & Co
will do anything in their power to
help the retail dealers in their move-
ment to fight the trusts. The mar
kets of this country must be kept
open for free competition and I be
lieve consumers the country over
will see that all legitimate retail
dealers as well as manufacturers
have a fair field and fair play."

Henry Hey mann was on a short
Western visit last week and gathered
in a satisfactory crop of new orders.

Dunn & Co.'s cigar factory is
running full handed and holiday
orders are plentiful.

Little Willie—
True tale, and moral:
Smoked cigarootes,
At rest: West Laurel.

Why Borrow Trouble.
A Langsdorf, of Roig & Langs-
dorf, referring to the proposed
organization of the retail cigar
dealers, said to a World reporter:
"I am not against protective organi-
zation but until there is a necessity
for action, I do not see any reason
why the retailers or others need
trouble themselves. At present the
Philadelphia field is in no danger
from monopolists or trusts. If the
Continental or any other company
sees fit to open stores in the city,
what is to prevent it? that is their
business. As to the business
methods adopted by a company or
corporation, that is another ques-
tion— perhaps an ethical and legal
one — but I do not see any necessity
for anyone getting excited over
present conditions.

Could Smoke, but —

Salesman A. M. Lake, with
George Burghard, is said to have
witnessed the performance of a
phenomena, in the form of a chicken,
recently, in South Jersey. The
World has not yet seen Mr Lake,
however, to ascertain the veracity
of the story. The chicken — a
veteran rooster — is stated to be on
the farm of Hiram Jones, and when
Mr. Lake called to see the biped,
it had just finished whaling Bud
Dobb's big Shanghai. At com-
mand of Farmer Jones the rooster

picked up a Havana from the
ground, bit oflF the end with its
beak, then strutted up to the farmer
and cackled. "He wants a match,
see?" said the farmer. And so Mr.
Jones struck a taper and held it
down while the boss of the barn-
yard "lit up." But after a few
puflFs the rooster refused to "smoke
up" and again strutted over to the
farmer and growled and grunted
and made a most dreadful fuss.
"Oh, yes," suddenly said th«
farmer, "You see, the poor bird
can't smoke and expectorate too;
and so while he smokes I'll help
him out by doing the expectorat-
ing." And so — with one eye on
the farmer, to see that he did his
part, and the other winking gravely
at Mr. Lake, the rooster went ahead
and puffed away on the Havana
with the sang froid of an old veteran.
The rooster lives on Mr. Jones*
farm and is offered as Exhibit No.
I in support of the foregoing tale.

It Fills the Bill.
J. S. Houseman, special cigar
man with the American Tobacco
Company, went to Pittsburg last
week to exploit the merits of the
Continental cigar and will remain
there six weeks or more. "Be sure
and forward me The Tobacco
World," he said to D. L. Leahy,
the North Juniper streetcigar dealer,
the last thing before leaving. "I
want to keep posted on current
news."

A Busy Factory.

The Seal Cigar Factory, Joseph
HoUard, proprietor, has had one of
the best year's business in its history
and is now crowded with orders.
The factory's leading brand is the
Hollard and 250,000 more of them
have been sold this year than has
been turned out — of course this
meaning that orders for that amount
are on hand and that cigars are be-
ing made for delivery. Over sixty
experienced cigarmakers are at
work in the factory and this number
will be increased in order to fill
holiday orders and keep up with
the regular output. The Hollard
is proof of the fact that cigars with
merit are bought by discriminating
consumers.

Bore Earmarks of Fiction.

A clever story, with just enough
truth in it to save it from being
branded "fake," appeared in an
evening paper last week. In sub-
stance it stated that a clever swind-

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpenlng machine that has
erer been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
•truction for any kind of work.

Tbe simplicity of construction
niakes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

»

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can b«
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Wost Durable, Best
and Cheapest machine offered.

ler, who posed as a Cuban, disposed
of a number of alleged smuggled
Havana cigars to a number of ava
ricious and gullible West Philadel
phia dealers. There may be a few
cigar dealers in West Philadelphia
so lost to business integrity as to
invest in smuggled goods — but they
are few, mighty few, and they are
of the sort who hide their lights
tinder a bushel But to say that the
ordinary dealer doesn't know a
genuine Havana from a low grade
domestic one fer isputtingtheagony
on too strong and that is where the
aforesaid paper's story gives itself
away.

Echoes OF 1897.

The newly formed cigar dealers'
association is a matter of more than
usual interest to manufacturer, Ben
Herbst, of North Thirteenth street,
for the reason that he was an active
organizer in 1897, when the retailers
first got together and formed a pro
tective league. Mr. Herbst said to
a World reporter anent the 1897
organization: "I did some tall
hustling to make the movement a
success, and in two weeks induced
overeighty dealers to join. At that
time we needed protection from
many people who were not in the
business in a legitimate way and we
wanted all dealers to pay a license
of $10 per year. Again we desired
more protection from the govern-
ment than we were receiving. The
so called 'trust' did not bother us
in 1897, although it was then in ex
istence and growing at an astonish
Ing gait. If I'm not mistaken there
was $ii left in the treasury of the
old organization when it disbanded.
All told there was about 200 mem-
bers but somehow or another the
dealers could not be induced to take
an interest in it, and it simply died
of inanition."

"What do you think of the pres-
ent movement and organization,
Mr. Herbst?" queried the World
representative. "Do you think it
will live?"

"Yes, I do. There is every rea-
son now why retail dealers will join.
Their interests being threatened
they will readily take to united
efforts to protect themselves. For
myself I believe in organization;
that is, the right kind of organiza
tion."

A Business Change.
M. Fisher, an old-time cigar
manufacturer, has purchased the
retail store of Mr Holtzappel at the
corner of Bouvier and Dauphin
streets, and will at once proceed to
"push" matters cigaratorial. Mr
Fisher will manufacture as well as
retail.

Important Point Overlooked

The World's article last week on
the Diebel cigar vending machine
attracted a large amount of attention
from manufacturers and others. A
good point omitted from last week's

j article was this: that a lock, ad
joining the coin slot of the Diebel

I machine can be locked by the owner
at any time he desires, and thereby
prevent (say, in his absence at dinner
time or on business) anyone from
tampering with the machine. This
' lock the slot ' ' idea is original with
Mr. Diebel and the invention has
been patented.

George Favors Organization.

George Wahl, of 54 South Third
street, is a typical Philadelphia retail
cigar dealer, with that push and
energy which bespeaks the success
ful business man. Mr. Wahl is one
of the many retailers who favors
organization and was an interested
attendant at Friday evening's Musi
cal Fund Hall meeting.

Avaunt! Dark Ages!

Inquiries directed to retail cigar
dealers by World reporters anent
the movement recently inaugurated
to compel them to close their stores
on the Sabbath in conformity with
the "Blue Laws" of 1796, brings
forth the fact that the retailers as a
rule, are not concerned a great deal
in the movement. While wholly
willing to abide by all law, they say
that they are living on the verge
of the Twentieth— not the Dark Age
century; that Sunday closing, often
attempted, has been a failure and
that the almost church- like way in
which their stores are conducted
upon the Sabbath can only prove
objectionable to fanatical and witch-
burning folks. "Stop Sunday cook-
ing, railroad trains, baths, news-
papers and other things of a like
modern-day necessity," say they,
"and we'll stop selling sane man's
best and safest comforter.

Mr. Wholesaler a-d Mr.
Retailer, both of you like tc
hear the musical jingle cf the
nimble dollar, it will give you
the quickest kind of a quick-
step if you invest a few in
MOGUL Cigarettes. They are
the quick sellers in the cigarette
line, thus hurrying the dollars
your way. Is the hint broad
enough?

Mass Mketing Echoes.

At the mass meeting of the retail-
ers at Musical Fund Hall last Fri-
day night, the World man, among
others, noted the faces of the follow-
ing well known dealers and manu-
facturers: Mr. Ellis, of Arthur
Hagen & Co; M. D Newman, of
M D. Newman & Co.; S Grabosky,
of the Empire Leaf Tobacco Co ;
H. F. Leukfeldt, B. Lipschutz and
M. S. Frechie; D. L Leahy and
George Burgbard. A broad smile
swept over M. D. Newman's face
when the speaker of the evening
said with a defiant air: "If I had to
be the slave of a tobacco trust I'd
quit the business . ' ' And several of
the manufacturers looked their joy
and satisfaction when the aforesaid
speaker further said: "You make

visiting the Philadelphia trade this

Dave Kalberman, who represents

It has been a rather quiet week
in domestic leaf circles, and with
only an average volume of trading.
Every type of cigar leaf has come
in for a share of business, but no
important transaction has been re-
ported in any particular type.

Sumatra tobaccos have been mov-
ing steadily, but in small lots.

The Havana market has been

fairly active, and demands appear

to be strengthening.

THU LANCASTER FIELD,

Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 25. 1902.

A great deal of business has been
done in the new tobacco crop in the
northern and northeastern portions
of the county. A large concern
that was among the earliest in the
field has again been at work, and a
large acreage has recently been
added to its already large purchases.
Other packers who had closed out
their old packings are also at work,
and a large amount of goods has
been lifted. Those who have been
holding oflF until now will soon have
to go to work if they want any of
the goods, or do without them alto-
gether.

The Sumatran tobacco raised
under cover at the Marietta Experi-
mental Station has been stripped
and sent to Connecticut to be
sweated by the Government experts
there. The half acre plot produced
856 pounds of clean, sound leaves,
ot most excellent texture and fine-
ness, of which at least 200 leaves
will iae required to weigh a pound.
In every respect it promises to be
everything that is expected of it.
Some of the leaves have a greenish
tinge, but that will probably disap-
pear during the process of fermen-
tation. The same kind of tobacco
not grown under cover proved to
be very inferior in all particulars.

The Marietta cigar factory of
Popper, Doddy & Jourdan resumed
operations November i4,asa"union
shop." The cigarmakers of Mari-
etta, being denied a charter for a
union by the National Association,
joined the Lancaster union. It is
said the factory has orders on hand
to keep sixty employes busy for an
indefinite time The fact that the
factory has been unionized means
mnch to the workers for they secure

an advance ol wages averaging fifty
per cent.

New York Retailers Meet
Maennerchor Hall, in East 56th
street, was crowdtd again on the
evening of Nov. 25, at the third
meeting of the Retail Cigar and To-
bacco Dealers' Association of
Greater New York. A roll call
shows that the Association has now
about 275 members, distributed
about as follows: On Third avenue,
24 members; on Broadway, 16; in
the lower part of the city, 30; in
Brooklyn, 13; in Yonkers, i: on

The Retailers' Association is to
be incorporated with a capital of
$25,000. The Association is to
form its own coupon company.

Messrs. Lane, Kreiser and Blank-
enstein are the Association's Com-
mittee on Publicity,

Mr. Mendoza, of the committee
on coupons, said he was opposed to
coupons. He believed in giving
the public honest value. His re-
marks caused a ripple of applause.
The coupon system was advocated
on the ground that the public wants
something for nothing. L. Silver-
stone said that the giving of coupons

recently purchased 200 cases of B's
of Geo. A. Rumrill, and F. S.
Baines sold ureases 1900. There
is a fair trade in small lots.

Several dealers are engaged in
sampling their 1901 and are fairly
well pleased with the same, there
being comparatively no damage.

The large warehouse being erect
ed for J. Friedman & Co. on Gold
street, is rapidly nearing completion
and will soon be ready for occu-
pancy.

Harry M Handy, for many years
a foreman tor Frank S. Baines, and
later a cigar manufacturer in this
city, has entered the employ of the
American Cigar Co , and will man-
age their warehouse in Brodhead
this season. Harry is a competent
and thorough tobacco man.

Sanford Soverhill has returned
from the northern part of the state,
where he shot two deer.

The A. C. Co. shipped eight cars
of tobacco to their eastern factories
this week.

The new warehouse of F. S.

for occupancy.

L* J. Sellers & Son,

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

THE RETAILERS' MASS MEETING
At Musical Fund Hall, Friday Evening, November 21

FAIR ATTENDANCE AND WARM CRITICISM OF THE
ALLEGED TOBACCO TRUST.

The Musical Fund Hall mass
tneeting of the retail cigar dealers
of Philadelphia last Friday night,
was lively, and some energetic criti
cisms were made of ' 'combinations"
and "trusts," which, the retailers
say, are endeavoring to drive them
out of business or otherwise affect
their livelihood.

An audience of over 400 men
greeted the chief speaker of the even
ing, S. W. Roth, of Maywood, 111.,
who has interested himself in organ
izing retail dealers' associations in
a number of cities, and is also en
-deavoring to form a national asso
elation.

As noted in last week's World, a
temporary retail cigar dealers' asso
•ciation was formed at the Conti-
nental Hotel, November 18, at
which the following temporary of
£cer8 were elected: President, Isa-
dore Aussprung; Vice President,
Joseph E. Tuck; Secretary, A. K
Moore; Treasurer, N. T. Weser.
Mr. Aussprung presided at Friday
night's meeting and after stating
the object of the gathering, called
tipon J. W. Marshall to read the by
laws and constitution which it is
proposed shall govern the perman
«nt organization. Before the meet
ing was over a resolution was
adopted thanking the press for hav
ing given publicity to the move-
ment of the retailers.

Upon being introduced Mr. Roth
at once launched into a general
tirade against "unjust capitalistic
combinations" and "trusts" — par-
ticularly tobacco trusts.

"Whenever the business men of
this country get ready to meet the
trusts like business men," asserted
the speaker, "they will be able to
more than hold their own in com
petition."

This opening comment, as well
as a number of others, were warmly
applauded, and when Mr. Roth as-
serted the tobacco trust was an "in
fernal thing" a chorus of bass voices
chimed in with an earnest "Hear!
hear!"

JACOB A. MAYER & BROS.

Other portions of the speech
follow:

"There is no use in wasting a lot
of energy shouting from the house
tops against the iniquities of the
trusts, or passing resolutions to drive
them out of business; rather let the
anti trust concerns resolve to act
and spend their energy in promot-
ing the trusis out of business In-
stead of scolding the trusts, let us
look calmly into their methods Let
us not despise their business ways,
but rather let us appropriate to our
own use those methods which are
largely responsible for their sue
cess. Chicago retail cigar dealers
have learned a lesson from the
trusts They are going about their
fight in a sensible businesslike way
They established substantial and
permanent quarters, and the means
of carrying on a continuous warfare.
Do not tell trusts what you are go
ing to do, and then quit. Compet-
ing with the trusts must be made
a serious business, backed by brains
and money. I belive any body of
men who organize for the purpose
of raising the prices of commodities, I
whether it is tobacco or anything
else, beyond what it naturally
should be, are criminals. The trusts
have been organized to have a mon
opoly and drive the individual
dealer out of business, who is try
ing to make an honest living.

"This association is started for
you that you may be independent
men, and I know that, if you will
stand together, you will succeed
The only question is have you got
the courage? Are you willing to
make the sacrifice? To try to dis
courage you the trust will have its
agents out lying about one retailer
or the other, by telling that he is
offering to sell out to the trust
They will also offer free deals and
special discount for a short time to
discourage you of handling inde-
pendent goods

"There are enough good inde-
pendent tobacco and cigar factories
in this country to put the trusts out
of business. The retailers every-
where are ready to receive these in-
dependent concerns with open arms.
The independent concerns must
reach out for this trade. They
must promote their business accord-
ing to approved modern methods.
If they do this, they will have the
best of the trusts. The independent
manufacturer of cigars and tobacco
has a reputation at stake — his per-

sonal honor and supervision over
his factoiy — that the trust nianu-
facttirers have not. There* seems
to be but one thing to be done to
drive the small manufacturer out
of business, and that is for the com-
bine to control the raw product.
How can this be done? Tobacco is
grown over a wide section of the
country in small lots It is handled
after it leaves the planter by many
concerns, and to gather it up into
a single succei^sful combine is a task
too serious for anyone to undertake

"I notice, in the daily papers,
since I have been here, that the
trusts are raising the wages of the
girls who are working for them. I
believe it was done on account of
the great agitation held all over the
country against the trusts against
employing children and young girls
at starving wages, that I believe
the retailers have helped to accom-
plish the raising of wages; but we
want to go further. We want the
children to return to school; we
want the girls to attend to their
household duties, and let their
fathersand brothers take their places,
and then, when they say to the re-
tailers we will treat you like busi-
ness men ought to be treated, and
not until then, will we stop the
agitation.

"The buying of stores by trusts is
not going to help them much It
is a desperate measure, and will in
the end prove to be too expensive
to be continued. The retailer does
much to popularize trust goods, and
helps to put a halter on the neck of
his own affairs. He has an idea
that he must stand behind the show
case and like a human slot machine,
hand out just what is called for.
The most successful dealers do not
do that; they absolutely refuse to
handle trust cigars or tobacco My
sympathies are with the retailers,
and I trust that among the manu-
facturers there are men large brained
enough to realize that through the
prosperity of the retailers is the
manufacturers' most lasting and
substantial success."

Printed applications having been
distributed, the retailers were asked
to sign them and hand them in to
the temporary secretary It is com
puted that 300 membership appli-
cations were thus sent in.

H. O. Cutler and H. Tuck were
named a committee to secure per-
manent headquarters for the use of
the organization, and it is proposed
to have the hall leased and effect
the permanent organization within
two weeks.

Various expressions of opinion
are heard anent the organization.
Many cigar dealers say they believe
it to be a good thing, while others
state they see no present need for a
protective organization.

Said Mr. Leahy, of North Juniper
street: "It's my opinion that the
independent tobacco people are us
ing the United Cigar Stores Com
pany to frighten the retailers into
a fight against the American Cigar
Company. Hence, the present
organization movement."

A number of large manufacturers

and dealers, who did not desire their
names used, said in substance:
"Why organize? Who is starting
a fighi? The trust? It doesn't look
that way. Are the retailers anx-
ious to start a fight? One would
think so. It is a good thing in
business to leave well enough
alone."

Cuban Treaty Provisions.

Washington despatches assert
that the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba, whose details have not yet
been given out, provides for the
maintenance of the existing Cuban
tariff on nearly all products from
the United States and for the im-
position of higher duties on most of
the goods which Cuba imports from
other countries.

This policy , it is said , was adopted
in order to prevent a deficit in the
revenue of the island through the
falling off of its customs dues. It
would amount to an important dis-
crimination in favor of this country
and against the nations of Europe^
which sold Cuba over $37,000 000
worth of goods during the last fiscal
year, since under it the Cubans
would have a strong incentive to
buy from the United States instead
of purchasing elsewhere.

If this statement concerning the
chief principle of the measure is
true, it is evident that it will excite
lively opposition abroad. Even
under present conditions Cuba's
imports amount to over $66,000,-
000 yearly, and if its people were
in a flourishing condition, the total
would probably amount to a round
hundred millions. Under the pro-
posed reciprocity plan, the United
States would be sure to furnish the
great bulk of this trade, leaving a
meagre share for the outside world
to supply. European diplomats at
Havana will naturally use their best
efforts to persuade President Pal ma
and his advisors not to assent to any
such arrangement.

It will be interesting to note what
success attends the mission of Gen-
eral Tasker H. Bliss as the Presi-
dent's Commissioner to the island.
It is understood that General Bliss
has gone to Cuba solely for the pur-
pose of impressing upon the insular
government the necessity of assent-
ing to the projected agreement, and
that he is authorized to offer in re-
turn a redaction of twenty or twenty-
five per cent, in our tariff on Cuban
staples. The Cubans are reported
as holding that this is not enough;
but there is small probability that
the Senate in its present frame of
mind could be induced to assent to
any greater concessions — Philadel-
phia Bulletin.

— Tobacco seed is the smallest of
all farm seeds, and consequently
requires a light covering.

Never in the history of the cigat
making business in York county,
has there been such a rush for cigars
as has been experienced by tnanu
facturers in this city and vicinity
duiing the past three months. Fac
tories are unable to procure hands
enough to fill all the orders Es
pecially is this true at this time
when there is such a large demand
for Christmas goods In conse
quence, the cigar manufacturers are
H month behind in making the boxes
and nearly every factory in the city
and vicinity has been running night
work as late as ten and eleven
o clock for weeks past.

An indication that the cigarraak
tng industry is in a most flourishing
state is shown in the report of the
receipts for cigar stamps for October
in the Ninth Internal Revenue Dis
trict. The report shows that 71,
910,000 cigars were manufactured
last month, the largest output for a
single month in the history of the
district. Most of those cigars were
manufactured in York county.

Mr. August C. H. Sonneman.
junior member of the firm of A
Sonneman & Son, wholesale dealers
and jobbers in leaf tobacco, and
Miss Louis A Meyer, were married
last Thursday evening, at the home
of the bride's parents, 461 West
College avenue, this city. The
ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Henry Walker, pastor of St.
John's Evangelical Lutheran
church. A reception followed and
then a wedding supper, after which
Mr and Mrs. Sonneman left for a
bridal tour to Philadelphia and
other eastern cities. Upon their
return to York, they will reside
with the bridegroom's father, at 105
South George street.

The E. A Bollinger Company is
erecting a large cigar factory in
McSherrystown. This is one of
the enterprising cigar raanufactur
ing firms in that place and the many
new orders for fine goods necesitates
the erection of another large factory

Young & Boser, jobbers, report
that the holiday trade has begun
and the indications are bright for a
big trade this year.

The recently organized Weaver
Tobacco Company, is doing a nice
business.

The success which has attended
the experiment of Isaac Hostetter
in growing Sumatra tobacco under
shade in this climate, has so en-
thused his neighbors about New
Holland, opposite where the ex
periment was made, that a number

of them will try to raise Sumatra
leaf next year. They propose rais-
ing large quantities of the leaf.

NOW
GOOD

ISA
TIME

There is no time like now.

The past is gone and cannot be recalled.

To-morrow never comes and the people who put
things off waiting for to-morrow are the unsuccessful
in business and in everything else.

Now is the very best time in the world for you
to consider seriously and favorably the question of in-
stalling the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.

Every day you put this off is a day when you

did not make as much money _^

as you might.

You are in business to
make money and anything
which will help you make
money naturally possesses the
keenest possible interest for
you.

We are not guessing about
the DuBrul Dieless Table.

We commenced to make
Suction Tables about five
years ago and while we
have always made what has
been considered the best table
on the market, it was far
from satisfying us.

The new table, the DuBrul
Dieless Suction Table, does
satisfy us and that is about
the highest praise that we
can bestow upon it.

We were never contented
with the dies and rollers of
the table of other constructions. We knew that they
were in the way, hard to keep in order, expensive,
and that they did not do really satisfactory work.
The work they did was good, comparatively speaking,
but the dies were constantly getting dull— that could
not be prevented— ^nd the resulting white streak on
the edge of the wrapper certainly made a bad looking
job, so bad that a clear Havana can't be well made
with dies.

We were bound to get rid of all this and we
have.

The Dieless Table, while more simple in construc-
tion than any other suction table, has no dies or
rollers and cuts the wrapper with a circular knife,
which can very easily be kept sharp, so sharp as to
give the best sort of an edge to the wrapper, and never
tear a wrapper in the cutting.

Think of every possible objection to the Suction

Table and take our word for
the fact that these objections
have all been removed.

We not only have a per-
fect table from every point
of view, but we have one
which, by reason of its
simplicity and ease with
which it may be manipu-
lated, is gladly welcomed
by the operator instead of
being frowned upon. This is
a good point in holding your
labor.

It enables operators with
verv little experience to do
better work than skilled oper-
ators can do, hampered by
a table with such make-
shift mechanism as dies and
rollers.

All these things are set
forth and explained in de-
tail in a little book which
we have Just issued and this book is yours for the

asking.

Ask for Booklet W. S

It seems to us that every cigar manufacturer ought
to be interested enough in a proposition of this kind
to find out all about it, and if he persists in a Die
Table proposition we can show him the best of that
kind to be seen at our offices side by side with the
Dieless Table.

Government Loans Paid in Tobacco

Two curious facts, which are his
tory, is that the first loan made by
the United States was made payable ,
in tobacco, and that Secretary Alex
ander Hamilton negotiated a loan
in the absence of any law authoriz
ing him to do so. The loan was
made payable in tobacco, and was
authorized by a resolution of the
Continental Congress, December
23, 1776. The length of the loan
was indefinite, and the amount au
thorized was $1,000,000.

The amount issued was $181,500,
which sold at par with interest at 5
per cent. This was received June
4» I777» from the farmers general
at France. The purpose to which
this loan was applied was the pur-
chase of supplies and to aid in the
building of cruisers to prosecute
the war of the revolution. The in-
terest ceased December 31, 1793,
when it was merged into the general
account of the French debt. In
those days tobacco passed as currency
between the colonies.

In 1789 Secretary Hamilton, the
first Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States, after the war of
the Revolution, found the treasury
without funds. On his own respon
sibility he negotiated a loan for
$191,608.81. It sold at par with
6 per cent, interest. The first issue
on this loan was September 13,
1789, and June 8, 1790, was named
as the date of final redemption, and
the duties on imports and tonnage
were set aside to meet it. The
money was obtained from the bank
of New York and the bank of North
America. The Secretary said: "Ob
vious considerations dictate the
propriety, in future cases, of making
previous provision by law for such
loans as the public exigencies may
call for, defining their extent, and
giving special authority to make
them."

A third loan followed under the
act of Congress of March 26, 1790.
The contract for the loan provided
for its payment upon similar terms
as the preceding loan from the bank
of New York, the revenue derived
from duties on imports and tonnage
being pledged for its redemption.
The money was needed for the com
pensation of members and employes
of Congress, the payment of the
civil list, etc., and of arrears of in-
terest on the Dutch loans.

There was in the treasury at the
time a sum not exceeding $50 000.
Other loans followed in quick sue
cession, and their history contains
valuable information for students
of Government finances.

— The cost of tobacco seed per
acre ranges from ten to twenty cents
— the cost of seed of no other farm
crop is so little.

Leaf Tobacco Markets*

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
The last few weeks have been
utilized to a large extent in the re-
moval of the tobacco from the poles
and stripping of it, so now it is
largely in the bundle, and the
grower knows the ins and outs of
his crop. If any are so unfortunate
as to have the crop injured by pole
burn, it is always good policy to
carefully remove it, and if not too
badly sweat, to tie it up, either in
hands or bundles, so the crop you
oflFer for sale shall be clean and
merchantable. Kindly recollect that
this is your loss. We sincerely hope
that an increased number of growers
will assort and pack their own
crops, or have some one do it for
them, as there are many that have
every facility to do the work, and
are also skilled in selling at better
prices than the ordinary farmer
"dares" to ask. It is obvious to all
that the growers in Connecticut ob-
tain for the same quality of goods
from three to six cents a pound more
than the general run of our growers
in Massa'^husetts.

Our correspondents write:
North Hadley: "I have to report
the sale of three crops. A. Prince
and R. Hibbard sold to James Day
at 14c in the bundle; George M.
Crafts to Mr. Hass, of Hartford, re-
ported price at i8c in the bundle."
Suffield: "V/. H. Martin, Herman
Ude and C. F. Wittemore have sold
their tobacco to Mr. Bushman, of
Westfield. Another crop sold at
2o>^c and one crop to E. A. Fuller
atp. t."

South wick: "The excellence of
the 1902 crop has enabled tobacco
growers to dispose of quite a number
of good-sized crops; the prices range
from 19c to 23c in the bundle, and
25c when assorted. The crop is
practically all ofi" the poles and
nearly all stripped. Our growers
are feeling nicely."

Sunderland: "Nearly all of the
tobacco is down and stripped and
is in fine case. Some lots are prov-
ing to be of very excellent quality.
W. L Hubbard has 6 acres and F.
L. Whittemore has 16 acres that
will bear examination. E S Dick-
inson and F. C. Kidder have sold
on private terms, but said to be
very satisfactory prices."

Conway: "The fog of the past
week has been just what we wanted
to get the tobacco down, and many
have nearly finished stripping and
report it fine and silky. We hope
for a few more warm days to strip
it in."

Putney, Vt.: "The bulk of our
crop of tobacco is oflF the poles and
much of it in the bundle. We feel
proud of the goods. They ought
to bring a good figure. I have not

THB TOBACCO WORLD

sis:

\

heard of any sales in this vicinity."
— American Cultivator.

BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y.
No sales of the new crop have
yet been reported, although the
American Cigar Company is in the
market for good crops and expects
to begin buying as soon as the to-
bacco has been taken down. A
Gazette representative heard one of
our local buyers, who has had 25
years' experience in the Onondaga
section, cautioning a grower re-
cently to be particular this year
when handling his crop to see that
the tobacco was carefully graded
Many crops this year contain an un
usual quantity of small leaves
which should not be mixed with
the larger sizes, as the market value
of the entire crop wiil be greatly de
preciated if the small tobacco is
mixed promiscuously with the large.
A. Heinke, the local representative
of Chas. R. Goldsmith & Co., has
recently returned from Ohio, where
he purchased three car loads of
Little Dutch and Zimmer Spanish,
which will be shipped here for
handling. At the Heinke ware
house a fine packirg of Zimmer
Spanish is being resweated. There
lias been no activity at the other
local warehouses during the past
week, only one small shipment hav-
ing been made from J. T Skinner's
warehouse Monday, to G. Falk &
Bros., New York — Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.
The movement in buying in the
new crop is gradually closing down,
though strong competition exists
for the remaining fraction in grow-
■crs' hands. Buyers are still active
in hunting out the unsold lots,
which are being absorbed at a rate
that will soon clean the boards. It
«eems to be foregone that the close
of the year will find the country
cleaned up closer than foryears past.

The market for old leaf develops
no new features. The sales effected
are of moderate sized lots and gen-
erally to manufacturers. H. W.
Child has purchased 90CS of S. M.
Holverson, of Stoughton, and 130
cases from local packers.

Casing weather is reported in the
Vernon county district during the
week, and some tobacco has been
removed from the sheds.

round, and not as good quality by
25 per cent, as the old. Buyers are
riding steadily, and farmers are stiff
in price at about last year's prices,
which are being paid in many cases.
The color is generally brown to
dark; leaf, short, fair substance.
It is estimated the crop will no^ be
more than half as much in pounds
as the 1901 crop in a large part of
the district. I saw a crop of very
common stuff that was sold at 5}4c
round, tied in large hands. The
demand is active for new goods.

W e have had warmer weather
with some rain, but not yet a full
stripping season, therefore the loose

over the whole district. In two
sections the bulk of the crop has
been sold at prices satisfactory to
the planters.

Pocket Boxes tor Saiety
Matches,

One effect of the New York Fire
Commissioner's plan to abolish the
parlor match will be a loss to sellers
of pocket match safes in that city.
Thousands of these, made of gold,
silver, and other materials, are sold
every year. A well known dealer
says that one of his stores has been
selling about 400 a year.

"It is impossible to calculate the
total number people buy. The safes
are especially popular about this
time of the year, when folks are
looking for Christmas presents. If
the Fire Commissioner's promise to
abolish all except safety matches on
Jan. I becomes generally known,
there will be a dropping off in our
trade this Christmas. The plan has
just been announced, but I've al-
ready heard talk of inventions to
make pocket safes suitable for safety
matches. One of the models con-
sists of a safe with a slide attcahment
in which a tiny panel, containing
the preparation on which safety
matches are lighted, may be slipped.
Undoubtedly some way will be
found to make the new sort of
match and the pocket safe get
along together."

GENERAL NOTES.

The business men of Kingstree,
S. C, will organize a company for
the purpose of building a warehouse
and organizing a tobacco market

A new plague has come to add its
mite to the burden of the dealer in
the shape of the using of much
paste and sweet glue in the making
of some of the recent packages for
little cigars. The mice like this

year s crop.

Mexico produced this year twenty
million pounds of tobacco. The
number of factories at the close of
the year was 740, with an output of
fifteen million cigars and 364,699,-
301 packages of cigarettes.

Judge Madden, of Kansas, last
week granted a tobacco man who
claims to be a hypnotist permission
to bury his wife alive. Some men,
they say, bury their wives alive
without asking a court's consent to
do so.

Soloman Herman's cigar store at
Trenton, N. J., was looted by small
boys last Tuesday. The lads, stuffed
with dime novel literature, intimi
dated a woman living near the scene
into keeping quiet until they had
accomplished their purpose.

Under date of November i8th, a
news dispatch states that Jabez G.
Sovalofski died in New York aged

The house will be ready for next ! condiment, and sometimes make

havoc of the goods in extracting it.
The best plan seems to be to keep
such goods in mouse proof cabinets
or boxes. Dealers who have not
yet had a bitter experience of this
kind will do well to take prompt
advantage of this hint.

One of the World's contempor-
aries has the following: Energetic
farmers who have tried in vain to
raise Havana tobacco on American
soil need not complain of their ill
luck. Bright men in other countries,
and even governments, have been,
and indeed are still, endeavoring to
raise Virginia and Carolina leaf on
alien soils without success. At one
time it looked as if Uruguay, Para-
guay, and especially Argentina,
would produce qualities similar to
those of the United States. But the
promise of the first crop was dis-
pelled by the second, and the best
Argentine leaf has never approached
the poorest American grades. The
French Government has tried many

105. He never used tobacco. May- expensive experiments in Algiers,
be if he had used the weed he would Tonkin, Cochin China, Senegal,

The defense against American
industrial invasion is being joined
by tobacco manufacturers in Saxony ,
who are joining forces against the
advances of the American tobacco
men. They intend, it is said, to
petition the Reichstag to place a re-
taliatory tariff on American im-
ported tobaccos.

The American Cigar Company
has made a proposition to the Green-
ville, S. C, Board of Trade to locate
a factory there. Seven thousand
dollars has been subscribed towards
the erection of a building for the
purpose. There U every indication
that a suflficient amount will be
raised.

The decision of Judge Fort, of
New Jersey, regarding the uncon-
stitutionally of the act providing for
bipartisan Excise Boards has
created no little excitement in the
cities and towns having bi partisan
boards of works and finance The
decision is believed also to affect the
appointment of bipartisan State
Boards. The decision may result
in closing the saloons of Camden
and other cities of the second grade
and dealers who sell to the tavern
trade are watching the outcome of

the decision with considerable in-
terest.

New Caledonia and Madagascar,
but has not yet turned out a really
merchantable article. The last
workers in the field are Belgium in
Congoland, and Germany in both
East and West Africa. The 1901
crops in every reported instance
have been so deficient in quality
that the planters despair of success.
No returns have yet been received
from the experimental stations in
South and West Australia. It is
believed by American experts who
have studied the climate of that
country that it is utterly unsuited
for tobacco culture. America, the
home of the plant, appears destined
to retain the largest part of the in-
dustry founded upon the leaf. In
one branch there will be a strong
competition, viz., between the Peri-
que of Louisiana and the black to-
baccos of the Amazon and central
Brazil. But in all others it will
hold its present supremacy unchal-
lenged.

Germany Contemplates
Retaliation.

An active tobacco war is in pro
gress in Gtrmany as the result of
the American Tobacco Company's
entrance into the German field. The
American bought up factories in
Dresden and about November 13th
bought up all the Turkish leaf to
bacco in storage in Dresden, with a
view, it is said, of securing a mo
nopoly of the supply As a result
German tobacco manufacturers and
retail df>alers are clamoring for pro-
tective measures, and a counter
movement to throw off the grip
which the American tobacco inter-
ests have already obtained upon the
German market.

To complicate matters, Harry
Rothschild, of Rothschild Brothers
& Company, of New York city, one
of the most powerful rivals of the
American Tobacco Company, has
opened headquarters in Berlin In-
asmuch as the German tobacco
market and its supply is not a mo-
nopoly, as in Prance, Russia and
other countries, the fight for control
promises to be a keen one.

The tobacco growers of Saxony
have asked the Reichstag to increase
the tax upon imported tobacco and
there is a strong feeling among that
body's members in favor of such a
tax against American goods As
one member stated , Germany should
"show her teeth" to Uncle Sam in
retaliation for his high tariff duties
and "pestiferous activity" in ex
tending trade. It is said that the
gospel of ' ' protection to home trade ' *
is making many converts through
ut Germany.

The Rubrecbt Vending
Machine.

A patent has been granted L. W.
Rubrecht, of Riverton, N J , for a
new automatic cigar vending ma
chine. The machine vending box
is largely made of glass, permitting
a good view of the cigars contained
therein, the revenue, stamp and
caution label. The mechanism for
ejecting cigars is strong but simply
made and handles the cigars with
out mutilating them. The machine
works automatically — a coin placed
in the slot being all that is necessary
to set it in motion The coin sliute,
the inventor claims, is far superior
to the ordinary machine, in that no
slugs, tins, etc , can pass through
and thereby cause an ejectment ot
the cigars. Coins with holes in are
rejected by the machine, as well as
spurious coins. The machine re
ceives a 100 cigar size box without
injuring the box or lid in any way
Other size boxes cannot be placed
and worked by the machine.

The machine can be manufactured
very cheaply, it is stated, and yet
prove durable as well as ornamental

Mr. Rubrecht has not decided
whether he will place the machines
on the market himself or make
royalty arrangements for their man-
ufacture. From the viewpoint of
The Tobacco World there is an
opening here for a shrewd investor
to make money by putting the ma-
chines upon the market. It is un-
derstood Mr. Rubrecht will enter-
tain a proposition for royalty use of

the machines.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.

Snnf Packages.
A five-pound paper bag of snuffy
bearing the usual caution notice^
label and factory number and duly
stamped, was submitted to the Com-
missioner for his approval. The ap-
plicant was advised that manufac-
turers are required to put up snuff"
in certain specified packages, but
that there was no provision of the
law or regulations authorizing a
manufacturer to put up snuff in
packages of paper containing five
pounds.

Repacking Cigars,
A manufacturer advised that he
bad had returned to him a large
number of cigars which be desired
to remove from the boxes and place
a paper band around each cigar. It
was advised that if he removed the
cigars from the original boxes they
must he accounted for on his next
monthly return, Form 72, and Book
73, and be repacked in new boxes
and restamped; that no allowance
could be made to him for the value
of the stamps first used, which must
be destroyed when the boxes are
emptied, and that the original boxes
could not be re- used for packing;
cigars.

Regnlations fot Leaf Dealers.
A dealer in leaf tobacco was ad-
vised that he must register (on Form
277). with the collector for his dis-
trict, at each place where he re-
ceived and from which he delivers
tobacco to persons who purchase
tobacco at that place, and that the
condition would not be different al-
though he should bill the tobacco
and receive remittances at another
ofi&ce, and that it did not appear
that he shipped tobacco from his
principal office to his representative
at another place for immediate de-
livery to other persons who had
previously ordered the tobacco, as
all tobacco received at either place
of business must be properly ac-,
counted for on Book 59 kept at that
place and this record must show
the number of hogsheads, cases and '
pounds of leaf tobacco purchased or
received at that place, and of whom
purchased or received, the number
of hogsheads, cases or pounds sold
or delirered by his representative, in

each instance , of the person to whom
sold, and, if shipped, to whom
shipped and to what district.

Sample Imported Havana Cigars.
A consignment of Havana cigars,
included a number of sample cab
inets not containing statutory num
bers of cigars, but as these cigars
•were intended to be used as samples
by salesmen, and not for sale, the
question was presented whether the
importer would be required to re
pack the cigars in other packages
or boxes containing statutory num
bers of cigars, the tax on which
could be paid by the use of a single
stamp. It was advised that if the
entry of such imported cigars em-
braced no less than three thousand
cigars (as provided by Section 2,804
of the Revised Statutes), and the
cigars put up in sample cabinets
were not for sale, there would be
no objection to the importer afiixing
to each sample cabinet a stamp of
that denomination approaching
nearest to the actual number of ci-
gars contained in the cabinet, al-
though denoting payment of tax on
a larger number of cigars than
actually contained therein; other-

Quasi Mannfactorcrs of Tobacco,
A cigar manufacturer, operating
several cigar factories in other dis-
tricts, desired to qualify in his own
district as a cigar manufacturer
solely for the purpose of buying or
receiving tobacco scraps, cuttings
or clippings, and that it was not the
intention to make cigars, buttodis-

that he should qualify as a manu-
facturer of tobacco, and npt as a
manufacturer of cigars, as provided
by Regulations No 8, page 33, re-
lating to quasi manufacturers of to-
bacco, who were privileged to buy
and sell tobacco scraps, cuttings
and clippings, and other products
of tobacco and cigar factories and
•who were required to account on
Book 74 for all material received,
and report each month on Form 62
all material sold or transferred to
other manufacturers, on special per-
mits to be issued by the collector on
Form 100, upon application there
for, as provided by Regulations,
pages 8 and 9, respectively. The
department has formerly decided
that all cigar manufacturers not
actually making cigars, and dealers
in leaf tobacco carrying on such
business, must qualify as manu-
facturers of tobacco.

BY DIVERS HANDS

The little girl's name was Cassie,
but they called her Cassiopeia for
short, and because she was a very
constellation of brightness when it
came to cutting tobacco in the old
cofifee grinder. Cassiopeia lived in
one of the tobacco growing states of
the South, and she was just ten
years old when the war came to an
end in '65 and her father undertook
the slow and dubious work of get-
ting on his feet again. His slaves
were all freed and gone, and he had
no money for hired help; the fine
old mansion on the hill was a black
ruin; his fields were a barren waste,
and there wasn't a money-lender

within a thousand miles charitable
enough to warm the starving acres
with a blanket or any other kind of
a mortgage. So Cassiopeia's papa
did the only thing he could do, he
turned his pride out of doors and
gave his attention to the cultivation
of a small patch of tobacco. He did
all the work of planting and of
caring for the crop while it was
growing, and in the curing barn,
with his own hands, but after it was
ripe and ready to be made into
smoking tobacco he quit. There-
upon his wife, a rather languid lady,
and his daughter, who was as spark
ling, as busy and as noisy as a run
ning brook, put the tobacco by
handfuls into the coflFee mill and
ground it up. Then they packed it
into little bags without a shadow of
label on them and returned it to the
head of the family, who contrived
without loss of too much personal
dignity, to sell it to the only custom-
ers he could find — the emancipated
negroes who worked on other farms
or in the nearby town.

And Cassiopeia was the happiest
girl in all the south. It was no task
for her young arms to keep that old
co£fee grinder going. The exercise
made her strong and kept her cheer-
ful. Her father's business prospered
too, so that within a year or two he
was cutting his tobacco in a grist
mill, and sending it out in cloth

tobacco, snuflf, and cigars and ci-
garettes in merchantable quantities
in the greatly populated countries of
the world, but do not let us forget
that the coflfee grinder and the grist
mill were the originals of all our
greatly improved modern machines.
The daily stunt of our little friend
Cassiopeia at the coffee grinder in
her mother's kitchen in those days
of her father's trials after the war
were no such new thing in America,
for precisely the same homely
kitchen utensil was employed for the
same identical purpose of cutting up
tobacco in New York, in Pennsyl-
vania, and in New Jersey in the days
immediately preceding the revolu-
tion, and in Virginia in colonial
times.

The little coffee grinder acorns of
the long ago and the more recent
times have grown into very sturdy

DECEMBER 3, iqoa.

The Annual Report of the In
ternal Revenue Commissioner for
the fiscal year ending June 30th,
1902, shows that Florida manufac
tured 170,437,485 cigars while her
fairly near neighbor, South Carolina,
with an output of 444,779 cigars was
the smallest cigar manufacturing
state in the Union. Pennsylvania
was the largest, having manufac
tured the remarkable number of i,-
830,707 438. And the outlook for
the present year is that the state will
manufacture over two billions Un-
doubtedly the facts that the Key-
stone State raises tobacco and that
tobacco trade labor troubles are few
have had much to do with the large
outputs. The good work should
go on.

An Old Story Revived.

Talk of Holding Sumatra Inscrip-
tions in New York.

A bit of talk which is just now
going the rounds of certain uptown
hotels in New York, but which has
not yet found its way to the down
town leaf tobacco district, is a re-
vival of the old old story that some
day, and perhaps next year, New
York will have Sumatra inscrip
tions of its own.

The gossips at the uptown hotels
are saying that a syndicate of
wealthy Hollanders who are thor-
oughly familiar with the Sumatra
business, has sent its representatives
to New York for the purpose of
feeling the pulse of the trade, but
as yet the pulse feelers have not
come down to Water street and
Pearl street, and it may be the whole
thing is only a revamping of the
old scheme which was first talked

about in New York over a dozen
years ago.

That the Sumatra plantation com •
panics would very gladly back any
scheme that promised to result in
a larger sale in the United States
of the leaf grown by them Is proba-
bly most true. The United States
takes only the finest tobacco grown
in Sumatra and pays for it the
highest prices, but it doesn't take
as much as the Hollanders could
wish. In no country in the world,
not evin here at I one, is the marvel
ous growth of the cigar manufac-
turing industry of the United States
watched with greater interest than
in Holland. The bulk of the 7,-
000,000,000 cigars which are now
annually being made in the United
States is precisely that class for
which the Dutch plantation com-
panies believe they grow the most
suitably wrappers, yet the United
States are not buying more Sumatra
now than they did when our total
annual output of cigars did not ex
ceed 5,000,000,000 and, worst ol
all, of late years the number of
American bidders at the inscriptions
in Amsterdam and Rotterdam has
shrunk and shrunk and shrunk.

The high tariflF on wrapper leaf
is, of course, largely responsible for
this condition, but that is no con
solation to the Hollanders who,
like all auctioneers, desire to possess
as large a competing public as pos
sible.

The talked of syndicate which is
to have its headquarters in New
York, would certainly have to pay
the same duty on its importations
of Sumatra leaf as other importers
pay, but its expectation of a profit
able business is based upon its
magnitude of purchases which it
would make at the inscriptions and
upon the sales systems which it
would inaugurate and follow in the
United States.

There may be a modicum of truth
in the story that the Dutch are
again going to invade New Amster-
dam, nowadays called New York,
but, on the other hand, the entire
story may turn out to be merely the
talk of people who are fond of talk-
ing.

Government Growings as Officially
Reported for the Past Year.

The annual report of the Secretary
of Agriculture for the Government
for 1902. just out is an interesting
document, evidently prepared with
great care and covers a large range
of subjects. From it the World
clips the following concerning the
recent growings of Sumatra tobacco:

The commercial success of the
shade grown Sumatra tobacco in
the Connecticut valley has now been
fully assured, and the plan adopted
by which last year's crop, after be
ing carefully cured and sorted under
the direction of the Department's
experts, was catalogued and offered
for sale at public auction under the
supervision of the committee of to
bacco brokers with Hon. E Stevens
Henry, M. C, as chairman, proved
highly satisfactory. Much credit is
due the members of the committee
for the time and expense they per-
sonally contributed in the interest of
this investigation. The ordinary to-
bacco grown in the open fields in
Connecticut brings from eighteen to
twenty cents a pound. The average
price paid for the shade grown to-
bacco was $1 20 a pound. The cost
of this tobacco, baled and ready for
market, averaged 5 1 % centsa pound.
The net profit per acre on the best
crop raised on a lot of about six acres
exceeded one thousand dollars per
acre. The reports from the cigar
manufacturers show that the leaf of
this Connecticut grown Sumatra to
bacco has successfully stood the test
of manufacture. At the present
time the Department is advising and
instructing 38 growers in Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts cultivating
645 acres of shade tobacco. It may
be said of this line of Department
work that it has demonstrated our
ability to produce a leaf for which
about six millions of dollars have
aunually been paid to foreign coun

tries. Experiments are being made
in the growing of this tobacco in
Pennsylvania, New York, and Wis-
consin, but the Secretary inclines to
the opinion that the conditions es
sential for the raising of a high
^rade of Sumatra tobacco are
limited in extent and can be closely
defined by the Soil Survey.

Concerning recent growings of
Cuban tobacco, the report says:

The tobacco situation in Texas
and Ohio has been thoroughly
studied with a view to the produc-
tion of a desirable type of filler to-
bacco equal to the imported Cuban
leaf, and it is beleived that by care
ful methods of cultivation, fermenta-
tion, and assorting, this can be done
In fact, leaf has actually been grown
that can not be distinguished from
the imported Cuban when properly
fermented.

v. C S. Co, Rumors.

The United Cigar Stores Com-
pany, it is common gossip in New
York, has sent the best of its New
York men to Chicago to do the best
they can to save the day for the
company in that very turbulent city.

Dame Rumor says some very
harsh things concerning George
Whelan, the president of the U. C
S. Co. The dame has it that Mr.
Whelan is not conciliatory enough,
that he is not a diplomat but a bull-
dozer. According to her Mr.
Whelan is in the habit of walking
into the stores of retail tobacconists
whose places he happens to covet
with the loud mouthed declaration
that unless they sell out on his terms
he will crush them and crunch their
bonesbetweenhisteeth. Mr. Whelan
is small of stature and slender.
Nevertheless rumor ascribes to him
the voice and manner of a seven foot
tall longshoreman. Dame Rumor
says that if Mr. Whelan had been
more conciliatory he might have
gotten many more stores in New
York than he now numbers on his
list and at the same time have
avoided raising the storm which is
at present raging around his bead.

Dame Rumor which is thus harsh
to Mr. Whelan is on the other band
indulgent enough to admit that the
example set by the U C. S Co. in
fitting out its stores attractively and
in dressing its windows to the best
advantageis being followed by many
other retail tobacconists so that
presently a dingy cigar shop will
not be found anywhere.

Advertisers.

New York, November 27, 1902
Dear Medicine Man :

After my Thanksgiving turkej
to day I treated myself to a Henry
Irving cigar, and, between the
courses, to a Condax stravs -tipped
Egyptian cigarette. Both were en
tirely new to me but my horses won
big prizes for me at the show, and
having seen those brands advertised
in the Horse Show catalogue and
feeling very kindly disposed toward
the managers of the show and tht- ii
patrons I have laid in a large stock
both of the Ro> croft Shop's cigars
and E A Condax & Co's Egyptian
cigarettes The LeRoys whi.h were
also advertised in the Horse Show
catalogue, are old, old Iriends of
mine. I smoke them at odd times
but to-day with my Thanksgiving
turkey, as I have said. I smoked
Condax's and a Henry Irving.

As a patron of the Horse Show
and as one rich enough to consider
that the best of everything is good
enough for me, I take the liberty of
writing you. whose fame is spread
ing rapidly through all the clubs of
New York, to ask you why it is
that John W. Merriam & Co , E.
A. Condax & Co. and L Miller &
Sons were the only manufacturers
of tobacco products who advertised
in the Horse Show catalogue? This
catalogue, which as to its typogra
phy and general makeup left much
to be desired, was circulated to the
number of 30.000. I am told, and
went into the hands almost exclu
sively of the rich. I should think
that for this very reason this cata
logue would be esteemed by all en-
terprising manufacturers and mer
chants as a most desirable advertis
ing medium. I am so well pleased
with the Henry Irving, the Condax
and with my old favorites, the Le
Roy. that it will probably be a long
timebefore I change to otherbrands.
if I ever do change. But if ever I

do, it will probably be because some
newspaper or periodical which I
read or chance upon happens to
contain an attractive advertisement.

Lotus Brother.

Answer

I cannot possibly undertake to
say why cigar and cigarette adver-
tisements were not numerous in the
Horse Show catalogue this year.
Possibly the trade was not "drum-
med." and, on the other hand, it
may be the trade is not all of one
mind in considering the Horse Show
catalogue a good advertising med
ium. I am rejoiced to learn that
the three 6rms mentioned by my
correspondent have secured him as
a patron, and I venture to hope that
his encomiums of their products will
j redound to their profit.
I I thank my friend for hiscompli
! mentary reference to myself in rela
tion to the New York clubs. He

!

I will not take umbrage, and I am
sure no one else will, at my state-
ment that tobacco lovers will al-

! ways find that the cigars, cigarettes,
smoking tobacco etc., which are

j advertised in The Tobacco World

' are worth buying.

The High Mark He Set Him-
self Was a Cigar Stub.

W. R. Hearst, of New York, Chi
cago and San Francisco, pays people
to say ill natured things about to
bacco. His latest contributor is the
Rev. Thomas B. Gregory, who tells
a tale about an unnamed Michigan
boy who made his own way in the
world because early in life, when he
was studying law, he set his mark
high. If you want to see how
thoroughly absurd an anti-tobacco
crank can make himself, read the
two following paragraphs from Mr.
Mr. Gregory's screed:

j "In the midst of a fragrant Hav
ana the young attorney felt that his
mental power was being sapped
that his ideas were being blurred by
the use of the weed — and he stopped
right there, without taking another I
puflF, and has not smoked since. '

"Taking the half smoked cigar,
he looked at it for a moment and ,
then tacked it up against the offi:el
wall, where it remains to this day

"Early in life he set his mark
high, kept his eye on the mark and
made everything cany him a little
nearer the realization of the mark."

*

The Antiquity of Pearl Street

In response to the request of a
Secaucus correspondent, I subjoin
the history of Pearl street, one of
New York's two famous tobacco
thoroughfares:

Pearl street was the early thor-
i oughfare along the East River. It
was the first street built upon. The
colonists were timid about living
outside the fort, and when they did
go out they put their houses between
it and a small battery. Thus the
narrow, dingy part of Pearl street,
between State and Whitehall streets,

came into being. It was gradually
I extended until by devious ways it
reached Broadway. It was the
fashionable street for years. Then
it became the great dry goods mart.
In it are many sites of historic in-
I terest. On the corner of Whitehall
! street, where the big United States
Military Depot is, and where the
Produce Exchange used to be,
William Bradford set up the first
printing press seen in New York, in
April, 1693. Just above that corner,
in Whitehall street, the first church
— Dutch Reformed, of course — was
built. The church within the fort
was a later structure. A block
further — at the southeastern corner
of Pearl and Broad streets, is the
oldest building in New York. It
has been somewhat modernized, and
does not look its age. It was orig-
inally a mansion of the DeLancy
family. Then it became a tavern,
and has remained such. In it the
Chamber of Commerce was organ-
ized in 1768; and after the British
evacuated the city, in 17H3, Wash-
ington made it his headquarters.
Here he delivered his farewell ad-
dress to his officers, on Dec 4, 1783.
On the upper side of Pearl street,
at the head of Coenties ^lip, you
find the site of the old Stadt Huys,
or City Hall built in 1646 and de-
molished in 1699 — in which the
first Congress of Colonial Delegates
was held in 1690 — called by Jacob
Leister to devise means to repulse
the French and Indians who were
carrying desolation into New York
and New England. In the middle
of the next block, on the front of
No. 90 Pearl street, you will find a
stone recording the fact that there,
on December 16, 1835, a fire started
which burned for two days, and
destroyed 648 buildings.

Havana, November 22, 1902
Little change is to be noted in
the Havana market for the week
ending November 22, and the
volume of sales has been only slightly
reduced, amounting to 4,850 bales
in all made up of 2,150 bales of
Vuelta Abajo, 1,300 bales Partidos
and I 400 bales Remedies tobacco.
United States buyers took 3,300,
Havana cigar and cigarette manu-
facturers 1,150. and for Europe 400
bales were taken out the market
Receipts from the country show a
slight increase against the previous
week, caused by arrivals of larger
supplies from the Remedios district,
while Vuelta Abajo is decreasing
in quantity. The tone of the market
is stiff for factory vegas, owing to
the perceptible scarcity of such
goods, good clean Gllers are also
firmly held, and only unstrippable
colas and botes, fit only for cigar-
ette purposes, remain easy. .
The 1903 Crop.
As the weather has now settled
down to dry and warm during the
day and cool nights, tobacco farmers
are actively at work replanting new
seedlings and topping the few saved
portions of the early growth in the
Partidos. Cutting may take place
oa and after December 15 in the
latter district, still, as the quantity
is comparatively small, it will play
no role to speak of in the aggregate
crop, as the same can be«classified
only as a medio tiempo and tardido
crop. However, as stated in a pre-
vious communication, a tardido
crop is not necessarily undesireable,
as there have been instances where
it produced a fine, silky leaf of even
color and good burn and aroma.
If the weather should be favorable
for the months of December and
January, presents hopes for a good
crop may be realized as to quality,
while possibly the quantity might
be smaller, owing to the smaller
farmers not having the means to
pay the present exorbitant prices
for seedlings which range from $3
to $3 50 per thousand, and they are
therefore compelled to wait until
the prices become more reasonable.
The Strike.
Everybody in Havana is more or
less anxious to know to what ex
tent the strike begun by the cigar
makers may extend, and how long
its duration possibly may be. Al
though up to this date there is no
telling how soon the holiday like
appearance of the city may change
to a scence of disorder and possibly
bloodshed . The origin of the strike

is so peculiar, that it is hard for an
outsider to form the right concep-
tion and the meaning of it ail. Os-
tensibly the cigarmakers quitted
work in the ' Villar y Villar" fac-
tory because they demanded better
material, a certain percentage of
Cuban born apprentices, independ-
ent of color, and Cuban foremen,
but no raise in their pay. The
owners of the 'Villar y Villar" are
the Havana Commercial Co., and
as no attention was paid to the ci-
garmakers' claims, every factory
belonging to this company followed
suit. On Tuesday the Henry Clay
and Bock & Co. Ltd., factories also
shut down, as well as all the in-
dependent establishments, includ-
ing the cigarette concerns. Out of
sympathy the public hackmen, om-
nibus drivers, and printers stopped
work to day, and there is talk now
of compelling the motormen on the
electric railway to join, as well as
the dock laborers, public street
workers, and the trade unions al)
over the city. In the meantime the
Mayor has tried to compromise with
the owners of the cigar factories and
the cigarmakers. The former were
willing to accede to the Cuban ap-
prentice demand, but otherwise
would only treat about any other
complaints with their workmen
direct, and not with the Central
Committee of the cigarmakers. The
latter insist upon being recognized,
and this is where the hitch comes
in. Evidently the Mayor and also
the Civil Governor ad interim are
favoring the strikes on account of
the approaching elections next
month, and they suspended the
Chief of Police, General Cardenas,
because he had not stopped his men
from the use of the club, when the
latter were attacked by a mob with
stones. Thissingular and arbitrary
rule may be the means of creating
violent disorder, when the strikers
begin to feel the pangs of hunger,
especially as the yellow press openly
declares that the strikers would
know where to get money from in
case of need. Where can be the
respect and fear of the police, if the
latter are not allowed to use their
clubs? Some people suspect that
there is a scheme on hand to create
disorder and then call on the Ameri-
can troops for assistance. That the
present state of aff'airs is bound to
help the annexation party hardly
needs telling, unless the strike
should be peaceably ended during
the coming week. From eighty to
ninty per cent, of the cigarmakers
want to work, however, and are
only intimidated by the radical 10
per cent.

RETAILERS PERMANENTLY ORGANIZE.

Interesting Meeting Monday Night

at Odd Fellows' Temple

PERMANENT OFFICERS ELECTED, RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AND
UNION TRADEISM DISCUSSED— TO MEET AGAIN IN JANUARY.

Bdmund H. Smtth

SliCXTH

A meelinjj of the retail cigar and
tobacco deal rs of Philadelphia was
held in the Auditorium of the Odd
Fellows' Temple Monday night for
the purpose of eflfecting a permanent
organization. I. Aussprung pre
sided and when he called the meet
ing to order, hardly more than 100
persons were present. Briefly stat-
ing the object of the meeting, Mr.
Aussprung called upon John W
Marshall to read resolutions pro
mulgated by the executive officers
and to outline the proceedings al-
readly had in forming the organiza
tion.

Mr. Marshall referred to the visit
of S W. Roth to Philadelphia on
Tuesday, November i8th, and of
how he met some twenty five re
tailers and with them held an in
formal meeting at the Continental
Hotel at which it was determined to
hold a mass meeting and push the
work of organization. He told of
the Musical Fund Hall mass meet
ing, held Friday evening. November
24th, at which a temporary organ-
j ization was eflFected and at which
about 300 retailers signed applica-
tions for membership Then, Messrs.
Tuck and Cutler, appointed a com-
i mittee on permanent organization,
secured headquarters at Room 205.
Odd Fellows' Temple and sent out
the call fur the permanent organiza
tion meeting.

Mr. Marshall read the preamble
and resolutions promulgated by the
executive committee The preamble
— a long one, set forth the necessity
for protective organization, the ex
isting unsatisfactory tradeconditions
and the reasons for the entrance of
the trust into the retail trade mar
ket. The resolutions follow:

Resolved, That we, the retail
dealers in cigars and manufactured
tobacco of Philadelphia, do form
ourselves into an association for
the better protection of our trade
interests.

Resolved , That we will direct our
attention to the products of those
manufacturers who have manifested
a commercial consideration for the
interests of the retail cigar and to
bacco dealers of Pailadelphia

Resolved, That we will encourage
the use of goods of a high standaid

of quality produced by the inde-
pendent manufacturers and the
makers of union goods who avoid
all methods inimical to the retail
interests.

Resolved, That we earnestly de-
sire the citizens of this city may
thoroughly understand our position
in the matter of such vital import-
ance to the future welfare of the re-
tailers, and that the public may fully
appreciate the necessity of a united
action in devising ways and means
to maintain this source of livelihood.

The resolutions were adopted and
then Jos E. Tuck, addressed the
audience. Mr. Tuck seemed to
take great pleasure in reading a
number of articles from last week's
Tobacco World bearing upon the
organization movement and giving
the views of diflFerent Philadelphia
tobacco men upon the necessity for
organization or vice versa.

The election of permanent officers
was then taken up and resulted as
follows: President, Joseph E. Tuck;
vice president, John Klindworth;
secretary, John W. Marshall; treas-
surer, F. W. Falk. The Board of
Directors consists of Frank Vetter-
lein, William O'Keefe, Isidore
Ausprung and Edward Baker.

A general discussion of the ob-
jects and purposes of the organiza-
tion was gone Into and among other
questions that arose was whether it
was advisable for the retailers to
affiliate with the Cigarmakers'
Union. Radical differences of
opinions were expressed and it was
easily to be seen that several of the
speakers were strong Cigarmakers*
Union men who desired the retailers
to recognize their union . President
Tuck said the retailers had a clearly
cut issue to contend with and that
it would be inadvisable to leave that
issue and fight for the interests of
others Each organization should
go its own way, fight its own battles
and help each other if possible No
decision was reached upon this
question, nor upon another, the ad-
visability of taking action to have
the old * Blue Law," closing cigar
stores on Sunday, repealed.

President Tuck announced that
the next regular meeting of the Re-
tail Cigar Dealers' Association

Counting the Guessers,

Florodora Figurers Won't Know
Their Fate for six weeks at least.

Pieces of mail to the number of
1,000,000 and over have been re-
ceived by the Florodora Tag Co. at
its offices on the corner of Bay and
Provost streets, in Jersey City, N. J.,
during the past four months in re-
sponse to its oflFers of cash prizes,
ranging in value from $5 to $5,000,
for the nearest estimater of the total
number of cigars paying the $3 per
1,000 tax produced during the cur
rent month. The time for forward-
ing estimates under the company's
oflfer expired on November 30.
Scores of thousands of guessers are
still being received. Many people
waited till the last moment before
sending in their estimates, and it
will probably be several days still
before the last one mailed on Novem-
ber 30 shall be received and counted.
It is altogether probable that when
the final count is made it will show
that about 20,000,000 estimates
have been received.

When the Florodora Tag Com-
pany opened its offices in Jersey
City at the beginning of last August,
the force on hand consisted of a
manager and one clerk. Last Satur
day 210 people were on the com-
pany's pay roll. The work of re-
ceiving and counting the estimates
is thoroughly systematized, and an
accurate tally is kept of every con
signment of cigar bands received
Each consignment, as soon as it has
been received and recorded, is
dumped into a hopper whence it
goes into a burlap bag. These bags
are burned with their contents
Every estimate is stamped with the
date of its receipt and is then
securely locked away. The stamp-
ing and dating of each estimate is
deemed by the company the sim
plest and safest way to handle the
matter. After the estimates are
locked up no one has access to them
excepting the manager, and he will
not examine them again until the
official statement of the December

production shall be given out from
Washington some time toward the
middle of the third week in Janui ry .

While it is true that the greatest
number of estimates come from the
most largely settled portions of the

I

United States, estimates have also
been received from Alaska, from I
the Hawaiian Islands, and from the
Philippines. Most of the people
who sent in estimates, sent them :
through the mails, but the majority i
of those who sent in 1,000 bands
and over, packed them in boxes or
tin cans and forwarded them by ex-
press. One man who sent 100 Cuba-
nola bands took the trouble to paste
his bands on the pages of a little
blank book. The work was very
neatly done. In some cases the
bands were strung together on sew-
ing thread, but most people simply
dumped the bands into the enve-
lopes or boxes in which they sent
them to Jersey City.

A great many people in all parts
of the country who failed to read
the Florodora Tag Company's prize ;
offer with the close attention it de-
served have sent in box fronts and
tobacco tags under the impression
that 100 of each of these entitled
them to four guesses. For the pur-
poses of estimating the December
output of cigars, box fronts and to-
bacco tags didn't "go." Neverthe
less the senders will get a receipt
for each ico box fronts or tags and
these will be exchangeable for 1
presents.

It is impossible, at this moment,
to estimate wirh anything like
approximateness the exact number
of guesses that have been sent in
If every one of the guessers had sent
in only 100 bands it would be easy
enough to multiply the pieces of
mail received by the company by
4, because each 100 bands entitled
the sender to four guesses, but
thousands of people, most of them
retail or whclesale dealers in to-
bacco, sent in bands by the thous
ands, and were careful to make four
guesses to each 100 of them.

The general impression at the
beginning of the current month is
that the official figures will show
that the total production of cigars
paying the $3 tax between Decem
ber I and December 31, 1902, will
be somewhere between 495,000,000
and 530,000,000. But we won't
know the exact figures until they
are given out from Washington
next month.

The value of attractive show win-
dow advertising is so well appreci-
ated that many plans are originated
almost daily in all lines of business.
Above the World prints an illustra-
tion of an unusually handsome win
dow exhibition designed by J. Ed-
ward Cowles manager of the cigar
department of Austin. Nichols &
Co , of New York, for both retail
cigar stores, those of manufacturers
and also druggists. The illustration
speaks for itself but it may be stated
that tastefully intermingled with

the boxes of Sweet Violet cigar, is
an interesting and instructive ex
bibit of scorpions, tarantulas centi
pedes, horned toads and other odd
bugs, reptiles and "monsters" which
are found in Arizona and New
Mexico and which are but rarely
seen in the East These fine speci-
mens are collected by Indians and
their supply is limited — hence their
great value in window displays. It
ts probable that dealers who desire
the use of the collection can make
arrangements to that end by ad-
dressing the firm as above.

The Cranz Sumatra Covers

From a cigar manufacturing firm
in Pennsylvania which, as it chanced
was the first recipient of a bale of
Sumatra imported in the Cranz Su
matra covers, F. & E Cranz. a day
or two after the bale had reached its
destination, received the following
warm letter of commendation:

"With reference to your new
packing of the bale of Sumatra
which we received, being the first
firm in the United States having re-
ceived this packing, as per your
statement, we wish to say that we
are mnch pleased with it. The to
bacco was opened and was in fine
condition, hardly a leaf being bro
ken or rubbed Through the iron
having a smooth surface, the pack
age will not injure the tobacco b\
being thrown around. We would
prefer to have all our tobacco shipped
in this new packing. We have
shown the packing to a good many
tobacco agents. Most all of them
like it."

The majority of leaf tobacco sales
men traveling out of Philadelphia
are gentlemany business men, who
think enough of their house and
themselves to observe the amenities
of life An exception proves the
rule in their case, as well as in
others, and the World representative
learns of an exception which he will
relate in order that it may prove a
warning to any salesman who may,
in the future, so far forget himself
as to "flirt" when going about.

A leaf salesman, young, and
fairly well described as being
"fancy" — both in speech and in
dress — who lives in Philadelphia
and is noted for his "cheek," went
into the Broad Street Station of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Thanksgiv-
ing Day. He was accompanied by
another leaf salesman .

The "fancy " leaf drummer, notic-
ing a pretty, neatly- dressed and
ladylike woman at an adjoining
newstand, at once concluded she
could not resist his charms and tried
to start a flirtation. But she did re
sist and resisted with a big R. Re-
sult: Mr. Leaf tried all the more
to "flirt" with her. By this time
her escort, who had been busy near-
by, returned, "caught on," and
without even a preliminany cough,
proceeded to walk the masher ' ' Span-

ish " (not Zimmer, but) fashion,
while at the same time he inflicted
well merited verbal and fisticuff
chastisement.

The second salesman, when called
upon by "Fancy" for help, ex-
claimed, "Youmonza! Serves you
right!" and turning upon his heel,
left the station.

The pretty woman thanked her
escort with a warm smile, upon his
return.

Sumatra Smugglers Held.

The five men who were arrested
in Hoboken on November 21, on a
charge of smuggling Sumatra to-
bacco were arraigned before Com-
missioner Russ on November 28 and
held under bail. They are Isaac
Reimer, of 81 Sheriff street. New
York; Alphonse Sutter, 9 Ocean
avenue. Brooklyn; Henry Heil-
mann, a sailor on the Kaiser Wil-
helm der Grosse; Rnskin Berg, a
steward on that vessel, and William
McCormack, of 811 Washington
street, New York.

Berg said that on November 21
he was told by Steward Gustav
Fritcher to go between decks and
help in getting out some tobacco;
that he and the other men unload d
about 1 ,000 pounds of tobacco into
a lighter that was alongside, and
from there placed in a skiff, and
that at the foot of West Fourth
street, Hoboken, the tobacco was
put on a truck. They were arrested
by revenue officers. It is said that
Fritcher sailed on the Rotterdam on

Saturday last.
PHILA. LHAF MARKBT.

The leaf market has been a fairly
satisfactory one during the pant
week, although lots sold were in
small rather than in large quanti-
ties. Sales of twenty- five cases
were frequent.

There has been a fair demand for
1901 Wisconsin, Zimmer S,janish
and Big Flats, 1901, and what was
offered was picked up A fair de-
mand exists for Pennsylvania seed
leaf, 1900. So far as known there
were no transactions in the samo
leaf of 1901.

Havana and Snmatra has been
moving along about the same — no
large sales, but a fairly steady de-
I mand for small lots.
j Business with cigar manufac-
I turers, with few exceptions, is re-
ported "rushing." They are
working day and night to fill orders
and the end of the busy season is
not yet in sight.

NOTICE!

That in connection with the advertisements of John R. Williams to the ef-
fect that the case of Williams vs. Libcrman had been decided in
his favor, we beg to say that the announcement is, and was intended to be
misleading. It was not a suit brought by Williams against us,
but was merely an interference proceeding between our application
for a patent on a certain roller, which was filed by us in February, 190 1,
and his application for a patent on a roller, which was not tiled until
April, igoi. The decision referred to in the advertisements is simply
the decision of the Examiner of Interferences, and from which

An Appeal is Now Pending.

While we have no wish to assume the bragging attitude assumed
by the John R. Williams Company, it may, however, be stated that the
issue of a patent to Mr. Williams is by no means a foregoing

conclusion, as intimated in the latter part of their advertisements. No

patent will issue touching the subject-matter of this interference
until a decision is reached in the court of final resort. At all
events we shall protect the users of the Liberman Suction Tables
against loss.

We will guarantee users of our Machines against

damages, and will continue to sell

the Machines.

THE LOCAL TRADE.

It Will Livb
So near as the World can learn
from a general canvas of the retail
trade and dealers, their disposition
is to keep their recently organized
association alive and vigorously
push ahead the work of securing
new members Like all new move
ments there are obstacles to be met
and difficulties to be overcome.
Many men in a movement of like
nature, hold back for awhile in
order to see if the new organiza
tion will be a success; and then,
when they see that it will be one
they make due haste to join. And
such is the case with many of the
retail dealers in Philadelphia. As
noted, the Philadelphia organiza-
tion, from all reports, will live.
«%

One Meal a Week.

A number of ladies began to dis

cuss the virtues of their respective
husbands, when every other topic
was worn threadbare.

"My husband," said one, "never
drinks and never swears — indeed,
he has no bad habits."

' Does he ever smoke?" some one
asked,

"Yes, he likes a cigar just after
he has eaten a good meal. But I
suppose on an average he doesn't
smoke more than once a week "

Demand for Old Zimmers
Both members of the firm of Dotts
& Keely, leaf importers, have been
**on the road" much of the time
lately and while they secured their
share of business in general, they
found an excellent demand for old
'99 Zimmers, of which they fortu
nately had good holdings and were
thus able to supply the demand.
They also had quite a demand for
their remaining holdings of 1901
Zimmers.

Raised Tobacco and Blank.

According to a returned leaf house
salesman who visited the Pennsyl
vania counties where the fragrant
weed is induced to come forth to a
goodly size and fine flavor, he —
the salesman — inquired after an old
farmer friend.

"How is Uncle Zeb?" he asked
"and how did he do on tobacco
this year?"

••Did so well," tersely answered

the warehouseman, "did so well
raising tobacco that now he's rais
ing hades "

Uncle Zeb was certainly doing it
— for he had got to the point where
he couldn't keep still and was yell
ing "Remember the Maine! ' and
other unfarnily things. ,

Alleged Spasmodic Crusade.
The movement to compe4 the
confectionary and cigar store pro
prietors of Philadelphia to close
their places of business on Sunday
continues. A number of arrests
wtre made for Sunday opening on
Monday, November 24th, and again
last Monday a number of additional
arrests were made. The closing
"crusade" has been tried before —
and will probably fizzle out the
same as of yore.

At His Desk Again.
Otto Eisenlohr has returned home,
and to business, greatly benefitted
in health, from his visit to Lake
wood, N. J. He was at his desk
in the Market street house Monday,
busy with callers and other busi-
ness. Charles Eisenlohr stated that
Christmas trade tbis year with the
house would surpass all previous
years' records. Regular trade is
also good.

Favors the Movement.
Mr. Pent, of the Rt:ading Term-
inal cigar emporium, is having ex
cellent trade in his leading brand,
the Tacoma, and says general trade
is good. Mr. Pent favors the retail
cigar dealers' association move |
ment and will probably become a
member.

The News Pleased Him.

"We are very busy catching up
with orders," said Mr. Moorhead
of Duncan & Moorhead, (Marcello)
and Christmas business is unusually
good."

H. Ashburner, a representative
of the firm on the road is now "do
ing" New York State and from the
many orders he is sending in, he
is hustling.

While the World reporter was
visiting the firm Monday afternoon
Mr. Moorhead received a cable-
gram from the firm's Cuban repre
sentative that the Havana cigar
makers' strike was over. |

And the news pleased Mr. Moor-
head, of course. |

Mr. Wholesaler and Mr.
Retailer, both of you like tc
hear the musical jingle cf the
nimble dollar. It will give you
the quickest kind cf a quick-
step if you invest a few in
MOGUL Cigarettes. They are
the quick sellers in the cigarette
line, thus hurrying the dollars
your way. Is the hint broad
enough ?

Thb Coon in the Woodheap.

Two weeks ago Mr. Reed, Phil
adelphia manager of the United
Cigar Stores Co., somewhat warmly
stated to a World reporter that his
company had not leased the premises
at 820 Chestnut street. A large
sign is now on the display window
of the store, 820 Chestnut street,
and the sign states that as soon as
alterations are completed the place
will be occupied by the United Ci-
gar Stores Company.

The ''coon in the woodheap"
is apparent.

They're Busy.

Manufacturer of

Cigars

JACOBUS, PA.

At Fulweiler & Bros., the genial
manufacturers of the popular brands
Lew, Wallace, Princess of India,
etc., all is busy and the many em-
ployes are trying to fill regular and
holiday orders.

One from the West.
A story comes from Montana that
several cowboys there have taught
their bronchos (small ponies) to
chew tobacco. A case of plug chew
plug, it would seem.

Doubly Busy.

The large cigar manufacturing
plant of Vicente Portuondo is un
usually busy at present, made so be-
cause the Christmas orders are
plentiful and the establishment is
also preparing next year's samples.
Many new shapes have been gotten
up as well as sizes and the firm in-
tends to retain its reputation for
originality and vim.

Salesman Harry Mills is tempor-
arily helping out during the rush —
with advice and ideas — but will
start west January ist.

A Gentle Hint.
He (spouting) — "I love the good,
the true and the beautiful."

Tired Proprietor — "Try one of

my new Perfectos; only ten cents "

Cuban Visitors.
Milton Herold, accompanied by
his wife, left last week for a Cuban
visit. Mr. Herold is secretary of
the Loeb Nunez Havana Co. and
will attend to business for the firm

as well as enjoy a vacation.

«^

Misplaced Philanthropy.

"Young man," said the well-
meaning law and order man, "you
are smoking a fine Havana Maybe
if you had eschewed the weed you
would now own yonder magnificent
office building."

' • Don ' t worry , Nosey , ' ' answered
Vandergould, "I do."

A Word as to Pipes.

Through C. H. Jaep & Co. the

World learns that in pipes for the

coming^holiday season, an imported

I French brier promises to become a

decided favorite with users of the
bowl. It is a beauty in appearance
and is credited with giving the
owner an unusually pleasing smoke.

Owing to the destruction by fire
of a large New York pipe mantifac-
luring factory recently, the pipe
market is short on a number of
sizes and makes, and hence jobbers
and others are behind with their
orders.

Manufacturers and jobbers report
the pipe trade as being brisk.

Gus ON THE Trust.
Augustus Koenig was seen by a
World reporter yesterday and refer-
ing to the retailers' get together
movement he said: "Why should I
bother about organization so long
as I am busy? I never was afraid
of the trust. 1 can sell against any
trust that arises. Now about the
trust downing us — why see here,
we have too many rich men in the
field for any combination to down.
Let the trust drive our rich dealers
out of the field first and then I'll

think of a protective organization."

%/^

No News is Good News.

"Busy?" inquired the World re-
porter of I. Langsdorf of the Roig-
Langsdorf factory yesterday.

"Very," he replied.

"Any newa?"

"No news."

"Good day, sir."

"Good bye."

Mr. Teller Favors It.
M. Fleischman, with Rossin &
Son, New York, was a caller at the
Frank Teller & Co. factory yester-
day. So was a World reporter, and

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

to him Mr. Teller srated that their
factor^' was running day and night
in order to fill orders. He also said he
was favorable to the retailers organi-
zing, and thought it a sensible
move.

Willing Workers.

Kichaid Gutiipeit, of the well-
known Gutnpert Bros ' fac'ory, re-
ports that the firm's factory is run-
nint; day and night to fill orders.

"Business in the west," he said,
"is df moralized. At our factory
we can't secure hands enough, and
so we work extra at night. That
our cigarmakers want work is
shown by their wish to work at
night, and I think that is an argu
ment against the 8 hour law. Men
really want all the work they can
get."

The Wisconsin Fieid.

Janesville, Wis., Nov. 29, 1902

A few buyers are riding the grow
ing sections in quest of the tobacco
still remaining in the hands of the
farmers, but the number of pur
chases made are small compared
with a few weeks ago.

The remnants of the 1901 are
being closely looked after and
several lots arc picked up each
week. Prices for these goods range
from 4 to 9 cents, with fillers at ac.

The farmers are now anxiously
awaiting the arrival of casing
weather that will enable them to
take down their tobacco, so it can
be stripped and delivered The
buyers are equally anxious to re-
ceive a portion of their purchases,
as they have a long season's work
ahead of them to get the tobacco
into the cases.

Aside from a goodly bunch of
orders for old goods, in small lots,
this tobacco is moving slowly, the
only sales to jobbers being 25 cases
of 1900 by Rudolph & Donhoe and
a small lot of 1901 purchased by
the same firm. The United Cigar
Manufacturersof New York, bought
182 cases of 1 901, of Mcintosh
Bros., of Edgerton.

F. S. Baines has finished samp-
ling 2,000 cases of his 1901, at
Madison and Janesville, and found
not a single case of damaged goods
Fisher & Fisher have finished samp
ling 2,500 cases 1901 and have a
fine lot of goods. For two years
this firm have inserted four zinc
tubes about two inches in diameter
in each case. These tubes are per
forated every inch or so and they
extend from end to end of the case
bulk, thus facilitating the escape of
moisture and lessening the liability
to damage. The firm is greatly

pleased with the experiment.

Charles Coulter, of Buffalo, is in
this market, looking for old to-
bacco.

J. L. Greene has returned from a

Kentucky Growers Protests

President Booker, of the Home
Tobacco Warehouse Company,
headed a delegation which appeared
before Gov. Beckham of Kentucky,
on November 24, and presented m
petition and resolution of conven-
tions in eleven counties, held on
November 24, condemning the
action of the Warehousemen and
Louisville Leaf Tobacco Exchange
in refusing the admission of a house
representing the tobacco growers.
They called on the Governor and
Legislature to take su<^h steps as
will be necessary to break up the
trust.

Senators Booles, Byron, Carroll,
Kenton, and Farris and a number
of representatives, including Coch-
ran of Spencer, Van Meter of Fay-
ette and others, are in Frankfort
working for the extra session . They
have procured the signatures of
forty one members and Senators
petitioning the Governor to call the
session, and were joined by a large
delegation of representatives and
Senators and tobacco growers at a
conference with the Governor on
November 25.

THH LANCASTER FIELD.

The tobacco market in old goods
was unusually quiet the past week,
very few sales being reported. The
HOI crop is yet very largely in
hands of the packers, only a limited
amount of it having been sold.
There is no reason to doubt that,
had the 1901 crop found ready pur-
chasers, fully 85 per cent, of the
new crop would have been bought
up by this time, as it promises to
make an exceptionally fine filler
crop.

Buyers of the 1902 crop have been
quite active during the past week,
though the prices have taken an
upward tendency, prices ranging
from 8^c to loc through and iic,
1 ic and 2c for seed leaf.

Good judges do not think there
are more than 15,000 cases of mer-
chantable tobacco in the county
still in the growers' hands. There
are, besides, 5 000 or more cases of
hail cut goods. At any rate, there
is no surplus, and the present boom
may sweep it all out of the growers'
hands.

Mr Wobbe, general business
manager for E Rosen wald & Bro.,
New York, was here last week and
completed arrangements whereby
his firm become sales agents for the
shade-grown tobaccos, raised at the
government experimental station at
Marietta.

A very prominent Philadelphia
tobacco merchant had quite a tug
of war with one of his salesmen in
the lobby of a principal hotel here
last week, which was witnessed by

about one hundred persons; while
no blood was spilled, some very
choice language was used.

Jack Herr, Lancaster representa-
tive for A. Cohn & Co., New York,
while on his way home on Thurs-
day evening, was held up by high-
waymen (who by the way are quite
numerous at present) They were
frightened oflf before they could se-
cure any of Jack's valuables, al-
though he had a good scare.

H. D. Erisman, who for a num-
ber of years represented S. Hern-
sheim Bros. & Co., and for past year
with American Cigar Co. here, has
severed his connections with the
latter company and associated him-
self with Julius Marqusee & Co. as
their Lancaster representative.

W. U. Hensel, attorney for Jacob
B. Minnich, has brought suit against
Samuel L. Johns, of McSherrys-
town. Pa., to recover about $700.
The claim is for services performed
in buying tobacco and for commis-
sions on the purchases.

O. P. Bricker and W. U. Hensel,
attorneys for N. G. Yerger & Co.,
have entered suit against the same
defendant to recover about $1,000.
This sum represents the loss alleged
to have been sustained by the
plaintiffs in the sale of tobacco that
had previously been sold to Mr.
Johns, and that he had refused to
take.

The manufacturers continue to be
working full forces, and in some
instances working at night, as suflfi-
cient hands cannot be secured to
supply their demands. All report
an exceptionally busy season.

Among the visitors during the
past week were J. C. Mahle, repre-
senting John H. Goetze & Co.,
New York; Edwin I. Alexander,
representing Joseph S. Gans & Co.,
New York; Menko Rose, represent-
ing E Rosenwald & Bro , New
York; Joe Strauss, representing M.
Rothschild & Bro, New York;
S S Swartz, representing Loeb-
Swartz Tobacco Co., Philadelphia.

EH. Briody, alias "The Little
Minister," the popular western and
southern representative of S. R.
Moss, has returned from a three
months' successfal trip.

THB TOBACCO WORLD

THE, UP-TO DATE
^ ^ SYSTEM 41 ^

We have long since passed the days of
the stage coach and tlie tallow candle. No-
body wants to go back to them.

We have also passed the days of slow,
inefficient methods in the cigar business as in
everything else.

It is of the utmost importance to be up-
to-date.

If the other fellows
would stay back with
you, you might be con-
tent to lag along in the
same old rut.

The trouble is,
though, that they won't
do it.

The enterprising
competitor insists upon
installing the latest and
best tools and equip-
ment, which give him
the biggest kind of an
advantage. The only
way you can save your
business is to adopt these methods yourself

The very latest thing in the cigar mak-
ing business is the DuBrul Dieless Suction
Table.

This is by far the best cigar rolling
system ever placed before the trade and it is
surely going to supplant all others.

The picture of the DuBrul Dieless Suction
Table is shown in this advertisement.

Its superiority is due to the fact that it
has no dies or rollers.

The cuttinu is done witii ;i circular
knife, which swings up out of the way of
the operator when the wrapper is cut. leaving

evervthin.L; 'rev to roll
cigars, without being
hampered b\ dies,
fixed or movable, with all
their complications, irrita-
tions and aggravations.
This table enables
the operator to do more
work and better
work in less I me and
with less wrappers than
any other table ever
made.

There is absolutely
no doubt about this ;
we have proved it by
test.

We urge every enterprising cigar manu-
facturer to write to us to-day for full particulars,
prices, etc.

We will also give you particulars of our
Die Table, if you wish. It is the best of the kind.
We have both styles to show at our oftkes.

Ask for booklet w. s. when writing to us.

HI. — Consolations ior the Retailer.

By Adolph Oppenheimer, with M. Oppenheimer.

Assuming I were a retailer of ci-
gars, if any cigar manufacturing
firm, or combination of firms (yclept
a trust), by extensive advertising,

ing, and many others were induced

The war promises to be a fierce
one; there are likely to be some
casualties; the independent retailer
may suffer while it lasts, yet if he
is active and enterprising, if he gives
honest value in the goods he sell,
and if he talks in the right anti-
trust way to his customers, he will
survive, and the campaign will
teach aggregated capital that while
it may be able to obtain control
and to operate great cigar factories,
it is constantly up against the in
finitely varied taste of the great
public, which has very little predis-
position in favor of trusts anyhow.
I hope the battle will be short and
decisive. I am perfectly willing it
shall be spectacular.

Folded in idle, twilight dreams,

York Leaf Excellent.

Newsy Notes from One of the
Tobacco Centres.

York, Pa., December i, 1902.
The York leaf tobacco market
remains quiet and with unchanged
prices. Tobacco growers in this
county who have begun taking their
1902 crop from the poles and com-
menced stripping, say the quality of
leaf is excellent. It is of fine texture
and has the proper color. Buyers
are still active and find a number of
growers holding off in hopes of an
increase in price. During the week
George J. Keener, of near The
Brogue, sold his 1902 crop on the
pole to a Lancaster county firm.
He sold at $7.50 and $2.

Trade News from Reading

A Bright Budget of Doings by
the World's Correspondent.

Reading, Pa., Nov. 29. 1902
The cigar and tobacco trade in
this city and district has not been
better for many months and cigar-
makers, strippers, etc., are con-
stantly in demand. At Womelsdorl
the factories are all running over
time and the same situation prevails
at Boyertown and other towns in
Berks where cigars are manufac
tured. Manufacturers complain that
they are unable to get the help that
is needed to fill orders for the holi-
day trade. These are some of the
new factories that were opened the
past week: Depen & Co , located at
Wernersville, who will manufacture
chewing and smoking tobaccos;
John Shilenski, and Harrison C
Wentzel, of Stony Creek Mills, both
of whom will manufacture cigars.
Next month Collector Fred W.
Cranston will begin to take the an
nual inventory of cigar factories in
his district. The work is a large
contract and he will have a number
of assistants . Many of the factories
will be required to close down a
week as every cigar as well as every
pound of tobacco purchased during
the year must be accounted for in
the reports rendered to the govern
ment.

The factory of E E Kahler is
one of the busiest in the city and
employs an increased force of hands.
Overtime is made several nights a
week in order to catch up in getting
out the orders. The output of Ben
Austrian cigars is taken by a single
Philadelphia firm,

A. W. Lawson, the new manager
of the Reading base ball club, has
purchased the stock and fixtures of
the cigar store and pool room of
Frank Tognetti, and has already
taken possession. It will be the
headquarters of the new Reading
club and Mr. Lawson will be as
sisted in the business by his brother

Alexander Lawson. The place-
will be remodeled and new fixtures
added.

Nathan G. Rosenberg will retire
from the firm of Miller & Rosenberg
who conduct a cigar store and pool
room, and will leave for South
Africa where he will locate in the
future. Mr. Miller will continue the
business here.

Jonathan NeflF, cigar manufac-
turer at Bernville, left on a week's
business trip through Schuylkill
Co. His factory is kept busy filling
orders and working at night ta
supply the trade.

George H Valentine, senior mem-
ber of the firm A. S. Valentine &
Son, Womelsdorf, is on a week's
trip to Chicago in the interests of
the firm. William D. Filbert, cigar
manufacturer of the same place, re-
turned from a successful business
trip through Schuylkill and adjoin-
ing counties with numerous orders.

The Lyons Cigar Company, at
Lyons, Berks Co., is very busy at
present, owing to the large orders
for holiday goods. The hands are
working every night in the week
until 9 o'clock.

The Deppen Cigar Co., at Wer-
nersville, Berks Co., has moved its
factory into Miller's warehouse
where they have increased facilities.

William A. Nein, cigar dealer^
completed making a number of al-
terations to his business place.

Cigar manufacturer Edward Gan-
ter has a large number of orders on
hand. He is busy manufacttuing
smoking and chewing tobaccos. He
reports the trade outlook as exceed-
ingly bright.

The cigar factory of Crouse &
Co , is running with an increased
force of hands. More are needed,
but a scarcity of available labor is
reported throughout the local cigar
trade. The firm is confident that the
trade for the coming year will be
good.

P. H. Hildebrand, reports busi-
ness brisk. He has a big trade this
year on his Colonial Orator cigar
which enjoys a large local trade. He
has taken up the manufacture of
clear Havana filler cigars.

The cigar factory of Frank A.
Weber, lately of New York, is busy.
New hands have been added every
week. It is a union factory. The
firm is manufacturing the DeKoven
cigar for which E. S Kerper is the
local agent.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

The exceptionally fine weather
lor taking down and stripping the
1892 crop of tobacco has been well
improved, and the bulk of the leaf
is now in the bundle ready to sell
or for assorting. We hear from
several towns that more will be as
sorted by the j^rowers than ever
The buyers are looking around,
telling smooth stories to induce the
growers to part with their crops at
a very low rate, and often lying
terribly. We hear of one dealer
trying to buy a crop, and to get il
he claimed that he had just bought
one of the best crops in town for 15
cents, and showed his book when
it was entered, when he had really
done no such thing; but he bar
gained for the other crop. Su
growers, don't believe all these
buyers may say, but dare to ask a
good price and stick to it.

Our correspondents write:

Hinsdale: "The growers of to
bacco have improved the damp
foggy weather in taking dowr and
stripping it. Some of the last cut
remains on the poles. Most of us
will assort our crops, as we were
well pleased with the result last
year.

Norlhfield: "Most of the tobacco
in town has been taken from the
poles, and found to be of excellent
quality; stripping is quite general."

North Hatfield: "There have

been a few sales of late. Charles

Castrese sold 3 acres at 15c; C. H

Crafts, 10 acres, at I5^c; E- N
Dickinson, 15 acres, at 17c."

Vernon: Most of the tobacco is
oflF the poles, and the goods show
up better than was expected; no
pole sweat. No sales to report "

Wethersfield: "News in the to
bacco line is scarce. Some of oui
growers have begun to strip, and
report it as very nice and very little
pole sweat. No sales to report."

Hatfield: "Sales of tobacco at
the west part of the town. Peter
Saffer sold 7 acres at i4j4<", George
Buttner, 5 acres, at i3>^c; James
Matthews 7 acres, at 15c; Frank
Vallenjjer, 5 acres, at Si; W F
Boyse, 15 acres, at I3^c; Whalen
Bros , 23 acres at 14c, Fred Allen,
4 acres, at 13c. Offers of 14c and
15c have been refused " We learn
by the newspapers that the Ameri
can Tobacco Company has bonnht
several large lots of tobacco in Suf
field and adjoining towns at from
18 to 22c in the bundle, and that
they are expecting to raise next
year under shade some 300 acres in
the towns of Southwick, Mass..
Granby and Suffield, Ct.

EDGERTON, WIS.
The remnants of the tobacco crop
are steadily being absorbed by deal-
ers who are quietly picking up
everything that can he purchased at
anything like reasonable figures
The atjgregate sales, which are
about equally divided between the

new and all goods, amount to quite
A respectable business At the
present rate the movement must
soon end because of the scarcity of
tobacco left in farmers' hands

The search for the balance of the
rgoi crop is about as actively
pushed as the new crop.

Mcintosh Bros sold a 182CS lot
of 1901 * B" to the United Cigar
Manufacturers

There is quite a little trading in a
small way among packers, rt fleet
ing a stronger inquiry for 1901
goods, both for home trade and
eastern demand.

Casing weather now would find
the growers prepared to commence
stripping in earnest.

Sherman House Sorry (?)

Certain traveling leaf and cigar
salesmen returning to New York
from the road say that the pro-
prietors of the Sherman House,
Chicago, are just now kicking
themselves, each proprietor his own
self, please understand. Sometime
ago the Sherman House people
leased the cigar privileges in their
hotel to the United Cigar Stores
Company at an annual rental of
iomething like $14,000. Shortly
after the stand had been taken by
the U. C. S. Co. the Sherman House
people, it is said, noticed a great
falling oflF in the patronage of travel-
ing men of all kinds. The "boys"
simply wouldn't patronize the U.
C. S. Co's landlords, and now it is
said , the Sherman House proprietors
are offering the U. C. S. Co. a large
bonus to surrender its lease, in
order that they may be once more
on a footing of popularity with the
anti- trust traveling men, but the
U. C. S. Co. refuses to surrender,
wherefore the proprietors of the
Sherman House are said to be

Who Got the Smoker's $10.

Two five- dollar bills were floating
around the County Court House in
New York city on November 2i,
seeking an owner, and failing to
find one. They finally found repose
in the treasury of Deputy County
Clerk Birrell. During the few hours
of their wanderings suggestions in-
numerable were made as to the
manner in which the suggester
•would dispose of them, if he only
had the chance. But all these bril
liant ideas were met with the cold
contempt they deserved.

It all came about through the
smoking of a cigar in Justice O'Gor
man's court room. The smokers
was a tall, middle-aged stranger
whose name those who knew would
not tell, and those who didn't
couldn't guess. His characteristics
were a tall hat, a flushed face and
a big Havana.

When he entered the court room,
Court Ofl&cer Watson jerked the
man's arm.

"Take ofi" your hat," said Wat-
son in a stage whisper.

The stranger looked him up and
down, but doffed his chimney pot.
Then he calmly took out a match,
struck it and lit his cigar. He toek
a couple of good puffs, and the jury-
men sniffed the fragrant odor with
envious looks.

By this time the whole court was
agog. Watson had turned his back
for a moment, but when he looked
around an expression of blank
amazement spread over his face.
Justice O'Gorman was eyeing the
stranger and the latter returned the
stare with interest.

"Put down that cigar, man!"
almost shouted Watson. "How
dare ye? Thow it out in the hall,
or "

The stranger gazed at Watson as
if he were an open window, and
something interesting were going
on beyond him.

"Put out that cigar!" repeated
Watson, getting red with excite-
ment.

For answer, the stranger took a
couple of steps toward the door,
and then coolly turned around and
blew a few rings of smoke toward
the bench. Then he started for the
door again. Justice O'Gorman
motioned to the attendants.

"Bring that man back," said the
Justice.

Court Ofl&cers Watson and Led-
with seized the strangerand brought
him back. In reply to the Court's
questions, he said that he had for-
gotten himself.

"Fined ten dollars for contempt
of court," was the laconic decision.

A friend appeared at the smoker's
side with a roll of bills. Peeling off

two fives, the friend handed them
to Clerk Lerscher, and the smoker
and his friend departed.

While Watson and Ledwith
awaited recess they were seen fre-
quently nudging one another. They
seemed in a pleasant frame of mind
and spoke to Lerscher several times.
At first the clerk laughed amusedly
then uneasily, but finally he seemed
to resent the ofl&cer's jokes.

At recess, he found Watson and
Ledwith awaiting him outside the
court. He seemed surprised, but
accompanied them to the the street.
At the door of a neighboring hos- 1
telry, they held an animated con-
versation. Watson and Ledwith
looked disappointed and even
pained. Lerscher, stern, tore him i
self away, traveled to the City,
Chamberlain's oflfice, and there saw j
that official.

"Here, take these two fives,"
said Lerscher in a tone of deep dis-
gust.

The City Chamberlain, with a
grateful glance, took the money.
Then he asked the reason of this
generosity and when the matter was
explained to him, declined to keep
the bills and returned them.

"I can't take any money that'
there's no claim against. Who
paid it?"

"John Doe," answered Lerscher.

"Well, he's got no claim here," j
said the Chamberlain. j

Lerscher went out. Across the
street he met Watson and Ledwith
again, but declined to notice them. ,
Returning to his court he pondered I
deeply and then began to ask ad- ■
vice of friends and acquaintances.
The invariable reply he received to
the question what would you do
with it was, "Well, I know blame
well what I'd do with it."

When he ran across Deputy Bur-
rill, the latter remarked cheerily:
"Fine dry weather we're having,
Lerscher, eh?" Lerscher looked at
him gloomily.

"Yep," he answered shortly,
fingering the two fives. Burrill
gazed at the usually urbane clerk in
alarm.

"What's the matter?" he said,
"feeling blue? You ought to take
something for that."

"Say," exclaimed Lerscher,
"What would you do in my case?"
And he unfolded once more his tale
of woe.

"Why, I'm the man," answered
Burrill; "Give me the money, I'll
take care of it. All that sort of
money comes to our office."

Lerscher gazed on Burrill pity-
ingly.

"Here, take the damn things,
and be happy," said he, and went
back to his deck, a lighter but a
happier man.

BY DIVERS HANDS
Cliaptei- L. IMMUNE FROM THE TAX GATHERER.

By S. L. Johns.

In France, poor Jacques Bon-
homme, the tobacco farmer, culti-
vates his crops under the eye of the
tax gatherer. He must account for
every leaf, and woe be to him if he
be caught secreting a few pipefuls
for his own consumption ! It all be-
longs to Madame Regie — a most
jealous mistress and a cruel despot.

How much happier the state of
the tobacco farmer in the United
States. In our Republic — a truly
Republic, as the children might say,
not the imitation article that France
is — the tobacco farmer has always
known his rights and how to uphold
them.

lu Virginia, in colonial times, he
was an aristocrat, a great lord of
many broad acres, a lawgiver, and
from his loins sprung those soldiers,
orators, statesmen, who won cam-
paigns, fired assemblies, drafted the
Declaration and planned the Con-
stitution.

Best of all, the spirit which ani-
mated the tobacco farmers of Vir-
ginia has survived throughout the
centuries. The men who grow to-
bacco in our day in Virginia, in
North and South Carolina, in Mary-
land , in Missouri, in Illinois, in Ohio,
in Wisconsin, in Pennsylvania, and
in New England — most especially in

New England — are as sturdy, as re-
sourceful, as redoubtable as the
Jeffersons and Washingtons of pre-
Revolutionary days.

Generally, they have had things
pretty much their own way, too.
They have always been excellent
politiciansand parliamentarians, and
only once in the four hundred years'
old history of tobacco culture on this
continent has the hand of the tax
gatherer been reached out over their
product.

The particular tax gatherer of
whom I speak, wasan honest enough
man, but in recommending to Con
gress that growing tobaccoshould be
assessed for the benefit of therevenue
he didn't know what he was "up
against." The poor man was at his
wit's end, anyway. He had to get
money, hundreds of millions of
money, for it was war time in Amer-

ica. The Union was fighting for its
very life, and money was of more
importance than soldiers.

He was Joseph J. Lewis, the first
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
You recall that the system of an
internal revenue tax on tobacco,
wines, alcoholic and malt liquors,
and ten thousand other things, was
put in force in 1863, solely for the

tion of his department from the
growing crops of the farmers did
not escape him. Accordingly, in
that part of his first report that
dealt with certain frauds in the
revenue committed by manufac-
turers of cigars under the differ-
ential rates of taxation then in
▼ogue he said :

"Tobacco fields could not escape

Mr. S. L. Johns.

purpose of meeting the expenses of
the civil war

In 1864, when Salmon P Chase
was Secretary of the Treasury
Commissioner Lewis submitted his
first annual report, and of all the
documents of this kind which have
been drafted any year since 1864
this is in many respects the most
interesting, as showing precisely in
what manner the vast sums were
gotten together that were needed
just then to save the Republic from
a shameful disruption Commis
sioner Lewis went into the subject
with great fullness of detail. He
had his country's welfare very much
at heart, and the feasibility of rais
ing more money in the tobacco see-

the vigilance of assistant assessors,
and assessments could be made of
the product as it passed from their
hands with much more facility and
thoroughness than at any time after
ward "

Poor Joseph J. Lewis! Not for
him nor for any gatherer of taxes is
the stately tobacco plant in the soil
in which it grows. In its manufac
turtd state it pays its share of the
revenue — perhaps more than its
share — hut not as it comes up a
green thing growing out of the
ground The tobacco farmer knows
not and shall never know the asses-
sor, or the "assistant assessor."

Mr. Lewis renewed his recom-
mendation to tax growing tobacco
in his second report, forwarded to

Secretary William Pitt Fessenden in
1865, and, that too, being unheeded,
he retired from ofiice to be succeeded
by E A. Rollins, a Commissioner
who let tobacco farmers alone.

And the glorious immunity of the
American tobacco grower has con-
tinued ever since. But, think you,
it would have continued were he the
humble minded creature his brother
of France is? No, by my halidome!
(The dictionary will tell you what
I'm swearing by, if you will kindly
take the trouble to look); I'm not
"bearded like the pard," but I can
use strange oaths if I want to. And
I do want to, because there is no
one who admires the American to-
bacco farmer more than I do. I
honor him, because he knows so
well how to maintain his independ-
ence, I respect him for his willing-
ness to learn. He is no plodder.
The crop that engages his care not
only maintains him in comfort, but
it stimulates his brain and keeps all
his energies up 10 the mark. Let
those who smoke, or eat or snuff
his product pay the taxes, but from
his gates, so hospitable to those who
come to buy his crop, let greedy tax
assessors, and their greedier assist-
ants, forever keep away.

One word more: To my thinking
it is most fitting and proper that to-
bacco should be grown under tents,
as is the increasing custom nowa-
days. It is under tents that soldiers
are sheltered when they are not
fighting, and what else is a growing
tobacco plant but a soldier getting
ready to battle in freedom's holy
cause? This is not fancy, believe
me. It is sober fact, gravely stated
by an able historian and a good
American citizen, who pointed out
that tobacco and liberty have ever
gone hand in hand.

This land of ours, which grows
the most tobacco, and which warns
its tax gathe''ers away from its
farmers, is precisely the land which
has won and which maintains the
greatest share of liberty.

Wherefore, shelter her soldiers
well, ye latter day Deucalions, under
your widespreading tents on your
fat acres.

Tardy Delivery ot Imports.

Tobacco importers in New York
are complaining loudly of the tardy
delivery of merchandise at the
bonded warehouses. They allege
that sometimes a period of two
weeks will elapse after the arrival
of a consignment of tobacco from
Holland or Havana, before the mer
chandise arrives at the warehouse
from the Appraisers' Stores. For
instance, a certain lot of tobacco
which arrived at New York on
November 19, did not get to the
bonded warehouse until December i ,
and it wasn't a case of disputed
classification either. In the mean
time the importer had lost a chance
to sell some of the lot.

A customs ofl&cer in close touch
with Collector Stranahan says that
merchants who are thus aggrieved
do wrong not to make a specific
complaint in each case to the Col
lector. He points out that an of
ficer of the customs department is
especially detailed to report each
day upon the disposal of merchan-
dise arriving at the port of New
York, and that merchandise is never
permitted to linger too long on any
of the docks. It must not be for
gotten, he says, that New York has
a water front of from 45 to 50 miles,
and that the truckman who has the
contract for collecting samples of
imported merchandise and deliver
ing them at the Appraisers' Stores,
is constantly concerned with the difl5
cultproblemof how to make a living
profit out of his job. This contract
is always awarded to the lowest
bidder and competition is so keen
that the price paid by the govern
ment is a mere trifle— something

like 9^ cents for a bale of tobacco.
If tobacco were the only imported
merchandise coming to New York
the truckman contractor's problem
would not be so difficult, but the
variety and quantity of merchandise
coming to New York is infinite, and
the places at which it is landed from
the ships are dotted along an enor
mous water front. It sometimes
happens, therefore, that the truck
man will wait before going to one
of the remoter piers until he knows
that there is a sufficient accumu
lation there to make the trip profit
able.

Tobacco importers allege that the
truckman who holds this year's con-
tract employs altogether only twelve
trucks for the delivery at the Ap
praisers' Stores and thence to the
bonded warehouses of all the sample
packages of merchandise which are
required by law to make those trips.

If this is true, it is small wonder
he is tardy.

While there has been a decrease
in cigar factories since 1900, there
has been a decided increase in
the output of the 24 567 factories
reported in operation to the govern
ment for 1 90 1. Snuflf factories have
also been reduced, which proves
that snuff taking is not so much in
vogue as of yore. The habit may
revive, however, as it has at differ-
ent eras.

The tobacco tag business made a
decided stir among users of the
weed and developed a number of
odd characteristics in the human
family. A Philadelphia landlady
who wanted a new carpet, accepted
the tags in part payment for board,
and now comes the report that an
Ohio girl wanted them so bad that
she gave two warm hugs for every
ten tags, and ere long had the male
population of her vicinity completely
strapped of the souvenir gainors,
yet had plenty of hugs left. All of
which, it would seem to the World,
denotes that the people like seme
thing for almost nothing. Other
tobacco people might use the tag
idea, or a similar good one, to the
great benefit of their bank accounts.

— Citizens of Savannah, Ga.,have
subscribed $30,000 with which to
erect a building to be occupied as a
factory by the American Cigar Co
The building is to be furnished the
cigar company rent free for a period
of five years and will give employ
ment to a large number of cigar-
makers.

THE TRUST AND THE TRADE.

f Under this caption The Tobacco World proposes to publish a series of signed arti-
cles by members of all classes of the tobacco trade. The discuss'on will be
kept entirely free from rancor, while It will at the same time be
perfectly candid and fair to all parties concerned.

IV,— Lessons irom the Fight in Chicago.

By H. M. Ai<BXANDBR, of The Progressive Cigar Co., of Chicago.

With the advent of the United 1 130 to $35 per thousand for the ad-
Cigar Stores Company in Chicago vertised cigar, but when they come
comes trouble for the trust and great ; to have one made for themselves,
{ood to the independent dealer they pay only $25, and often less.
The opening of the U. C. S. Co., in , The best is none too good. Pay a
our city was with a great flourish. ] good price for your own brands, and

with the evident intention of daz-
zling the consumer and bewildering
the dealer. So far it appears to have
done neither, but on the contrary, it
kas been the means of startling the
dealer out of a long stupor, and has
also caused the trust to view with

in the end you will have established
a brand and have proprietary Interest
in your own business.

The consumer, whose trade is a
consideration, would rather have a
first class cigar than the "trust"
article with a cheap band, which

alarm the coming of the independent gives him a chance on a pair of shoe

tobacco manufacturers to a territory

which for many years sold almost

exclusively trust goods.

Why the trust should seek to de

8troy the dealer, who in reality has

simply been its agent, is a question

it alone can answer. Less than

fifteen years ago the manufacturing

of smoking tobacco by combining

stveral factories formed the nucleus

of the great American tobacco trust

How this "infant industry," with a

comparatively small capital, has

grown to its immence power is well

known to all the trade, and the man

who is responsible for this growth;

the man who has toiled early and

late for this combination, has at last

awakened, and this man is the retail

dealer.

It has been a long nap, brother

retailer, but it is not too late to
strike a blow for individual inde
pendence. I want to say to the
dealer that you can win this fight.
Throw out the '*trust"cigars, throw
tkem all out and then commence on
the "trust" tobacco and do the same;
the consumer will be with you. The
causa is so just that every fair
minded man will help you. Watch
every line in your business and see
that you are not instrumental in
building up another trust. Refuse
to be the mere agent of a combina
tion who now seek to drive you out
•f business and reward you with a
position that means a doom to am-
bition and all the great Creator in-
tended for you. Strike now, Mr.
Dealer, and make each blow count.
It is a fight for principle, a fight
against "child labor," a fight which
means in the end as much for the
consumer as for the dealer. Have
jour own brands and let them be the
best that money can buy.

The great error that many dealers
make is that they will pay from

•trings, or by saving some 80,000
bands, a piano. The chances are
he wouldn't need the piano after he
had smoked that number of its ci
gars, he would probably be playing
a harp.

Talk to the consumer, he is the
man we want. I would rather have
the consumer with me in this fight
than the pledges of both political
patties. I would rather have the
consumer with me than to control all
branches of legislation . Never mind
politics, or how your consumer
votes; get him to smoke and chew
right and the fight is won. It is up
to you, Mr. Dealer. Do not falter.
Uo not allow the trust to buy you
back for a few cents rebate. Stand
for principle; be willing to make
some sacrifices. Your talks with
your customer will put new life in
your business and bring him nearer
to you. You won't lose the custom-
er, but on the contrary, you can tie
him to you hand and foot by good
treatment, honest goods at fair
prices, and by showing him that
you are in this fight for principle.

Do not let the methods of in-
timidation employed by the trust
dismay you. They cannot win
without you. Cut your supply off
first Bidding leases over the heads
ol the dealers, sending pluggers
around asking for their goods, are
not methods much in vogue among
Honorable business men, and need
not dismay you. Keep union and
independent goods to the front and
the fight is won. Strike now, while
the customer is with you. Strike
for the boy of to day who becomes
the man of to morrow. See to it that
he has his chance in life's great
battle Strike, brother retailer, and
righteous wrath will lend its weight
to your words, and your customer
thus informed will start an endless
chain of indignation that will put
the shackles on a trust which now
seeks to destroy you.

rolls of 3 arrobas were made for the
home markets. At the present day
the weights vary according to the
locality.

The large exportation of tobacco
in leaf has considerably changed the
character of tobacco growing in
Bahia, the process of curing and
packing the leaf being simpler than
the old process of manufacturing
rolas. Tobacco growing is heavily
protected and taxed in Brazil, nearly
all the provinces imposing separate
protective taxes, in addition to
those imposed by the government.
Besides these, the municipalities are
permitted to levy taxes on the
article.

Havana Strike Hurt
Business-

The Crop, Sales of the Week and
Other Interesting Matters — The
Strike Over — Arrivals and De
part ares.

Havana, November 29. 1902.

Business has been curtailed in
Havana during the week ending
November 29 for two reasons, one
being that the strike still continues
as far as the cigarmakers are con
cerned and the other one is the ab-
sense of the big buyers from the
United States. It is probable that
the strike may be settled at any
moment, and as far as the latter are
concerned th-y will doubtless turn
up, if not in the coming mcnth then
after New Year's. As the receipts
from the country remain small it
goes to show that only very little
tobacco can be left in the country,
and as the 1903 crop is a good ways
oflf yet, and its result doubtful, very
likely the United States buyers will
sweep our market of all goods that
are in any way suitable for the
north and leave us only with the
botes and colas, which are fit only
for cigarette purposes. The supply
of factory vfgas and light fillers has
been reduced so much that the
small stock on hand hardly needs to
be taken into consideration. Sales
this week amount to only 2 800
bales, unless the 7 000 bales of Re
medios, which were closed by the
well known house of J. Bernheim
& Sons, two weeks ago, are added
to them, and in that case the volume
would be swelled to 9 800 bales
consisting of 7,800 bales Remedios,
1,500 bales VueUa Abajo and 500
bales Partido. Destination of this
quantity would be for the United
States. 8 450 bales, and for Europe
1,350 bales.

The 1903 Crop.

Very little news is at hand from
the country, as it seems everybody
is busy making the best of the
favorable weather in transplanting
the seedlings, although some com
plaint has been heard that seedbeds
have been partly destroyed by a
plague of insects and worms and
only in cases where the vegueros
have used Paris green could they
save their tender plants. The
scarcity of the latter continues and
prices still rule from $3 upward to
as high as $4 per thousand Such
a state of affairs naturally prevents

the poorer farmers from attending to
their small vegas, and if they cannot
borrow any money they mast per-
force remain idle until the seedlings
become lower in price.
The Strike.
The city of Havana has passed
through a critical period. Last
Monday , the 24th inst., six or seven
lives were lost and a hundred and
fifty or more persons were wounded
while the police re- established law
and order. On November J4 the
carmen, lightermen, dock laborers,
butchers and bakers struck out of
sympathy with the cigarmakers and
an attack was made upon the electric
cars to stop them from running.
All male passengers were compelled
to alight and only white and black
women were permitted to keep their
seats. At last the Mayor, seeing
that th? crowd could not be con-
trolled any longer by mere kind
words, gave orders to the police to
use their clubs and revolvers and
then it did not take long to clear
the streets, although at the cost of
the killed and wounded mentioned
above. The rural guard and the
Cuban artillerists had also been
summoned and their appearance
helped to intimidate the lawless ele-
ment and check further disorder.
The crowd is said to have consisted
mostly of half grown youths and
the rabble that had been previously
released from prison at the time of
the general amnesty, when the
Cuban republic was established. It
is said that the cigarmakers behaved
admirably and that they did not
join the tumultuous crowds. Upon
Tuesday the 25th inst., trafl&c by the
omnibus lines and hack drivers was
resumed and the bakers as well as
butchers, dock laborers, lightermen,
carmen and printers returned to
work, thus leaving only the cigar-
makers to fight their strike single-
handed. The Veteran club, with
General Maximo Gomez at its head,
has ever since tried to mediate be-
tween the cigar manufacturers and
I he cigarmakers, and at this moment
it is stated that an agreement has
been reached and that work will be
resumed in all factories on Monday,
December i

George Mitchelson has bought
quite largely of the best Vuelta,
Abajo, Partido and Remedios fillers
that he could find in the Havana
market, although his curiosity in
trying to find out what was going
on Monday night, and venturing
into the dangerous and most riotous
district, called "Cuatro Caminos,"
nearly cost him his life. He was
struck by a spent bullet, and if, for-
tunately, a leather case and some
letters which he carried in his coat
pocket had not checked the bullet,
the consequences might have been
serious. As it was he got oflF scot
free, and now considers the incident
a good joke to tell his friends north
upon his return.

J. W. Pauly has purchased lOO
bales of fine Vuelta Abajo fillers.

A. Blumenstiel.of Levi, Blumen-
stiel & Co., New York, secured
some 4C0 bales of Remedios, Vuelta

quite liberally already.

Adolf o Moeller & Co,'s Card

S. H. Friedlander and Carlos M.
Wintzer, Jr., the resident New York
members of the big Havana import-
ing firm of A.dolfo Moeller &
Co., of 161 Water street, New
York, and Almacenes de San Am-
brosio, Havana, have been so busy
selling tobacco ever since they
opened for business in May last that
not until the present week have
they been able to find time to do
what they have been wanting to do
all along in the matter of preparing
the card which appears in our regu-
lar advertising columns to day for
the first lime. All the members of the
firm of Adolfo Moeller & Co. believe
in trade paper advertising. The
firm's card in the Tobacco World is
like the sign over the firm's front
door in New York, a guide to its
customers and to those who it
hopes will become customers.

Adolfo Moeller & Co. import and
sell only Havana tobacco. Don
Adolfo, in Havana, and Messrs.
Friedlander and Wintzer, in New
York, are not only thorough experts
in this most exquisite of all leaf, but
the trade understands that their
representations are at all times
trustworthy and their prices reason-
able.

At Christmas, the firm will dis-
tribute a unique souvenir to its
friends.

The U. C. S. Co, in Brooklyn

The United Cigar Stores Com
pany has leased the ground floor of
the building at the corner of Myrtle
avenue and Fulton street, Brooklyn,
at an annual rental of $7,200. The
premises are at present occupied by
Morrissey's drug store, which will
remove around the corner.

The corner of Myrtle avenue and
Fulton street is in the very heart of
Brooklyn. In its Brooklyn location
the United Cigar Stores Company
will come into direct competition
with a number of long established
retail cigar stores several of which
are openly hostile to the trust.

It is said that Mr. Morrissey re-
cently secured a new lease of the
building in which he is located and
that the rentals he will receive from
the United Cigar Stores Company
and other sublessees will net him
an annual profit of $10,000.

Two Well-known New
Yorkers Dead,

Sigmund Jacoby, for many years
one of the best known cigar manu-
facturers in New York city, and of
late with the sales department of the
Owl Commercial Company, died at
his home in New York on Decem-
ber 7, in the 74th year of his age.

Henry Lewis Gassert, for fifty
years a wholesale tobacco merchant
in New York, died at his home, 751
Carroll street, Brooklyn, on the
morning of December 7, aged 76
years.

W,-A, S, Co. in the Broadway
Chambers,
The Waldorf-Astoria Segar Co.
has leased the retail cigar store in
the Broadway Chambers at present
occupied by Morgan Marshall. This
is one of the best locations in down
town New York.

Licbtenstein Bros, to
Dissolved,

Julius Lichtenstein, of Licbten-
stein Bros., well-known New York
leaf dealers, will retire from the
firm on January I. Bernard Licb-
tenstein will continue the business
under the old firm name and at the
old stand.

$700 tor Damaged Leaf,

On the evening of November 26,
the stock of leaf tobacco of Joseph
Berran & Co., cigar manufacturers
at First avenue and 42d street, New
York, was partly damaged by water,
caused by a faucet being left open
by an employe of Duryea & Potter,
furniture and art decorators, who
are tenants in the same building,

A settlement of the damage was
demanded by Berran & Co., of
Duryea & Potter, but the latter re-
fused to make any settlement, claim-
ing that the tobacco was not injured
by the water.

Mandelbaum Bros., were there-
upon retained to bring suit for Ber-
ran & Co., against Duryea & Potter,
and did so

The case came to trial on Wednes-
day, December 3, in the City Court,
before Judge Conlan and a jury,
lasting all that day and half of the
following day.

The defendants were represented
by the law firms of Watson & Kris-
teller, and Goodelle, Hanson &
Price, who after failing to absolve
their clients from liability, made a
hard fight on the question of dam-
age claiming that it did not exceed
$^5-

Mandelbaum Bros, demonstrated
to the jury that the damage was
over $600, and might run up to
$1,000, showing that some of the
tobacco had to be sold as cuttings
and ot her had to be used in cheaper
grades of cigars than it was intended
for.

The jury after several hours de-
liberation brought in a verdict of
$700 for the plaintiffs.

A Correction,

The firm of Jose Santalla & Co.
of Havana, Cuba, consists of Jose
Santalla, Avelino Pazosand Charles
Vogl, Jr. This note is made in
correction of a mistake in last week's
World wherein our Havana corres-
pondent was made to say that the
firm mentioned consisted of Jose
Santalla and Avelino Pazos. The
firm of A. Pazos & Co., of New
York, it may be noted, too, consists
of Avelino Pazos, Jose Santalla and
Charles Vogl, Jr.

Happenings and Incidents of the Past Week — Holiday Trade More
Brisk than for Years — Personals, Market Report, etc.

Working Overtime.

Upon his return a few days ago
from a visit to Pacific Coast points.
Manager C P. Mullen of the M J.
Portuondo Co. found much to do
with accumulated office business
and the large orders on hand, many
of which he secured himself. Mr.
Mullen booked some heavy orders
in the West; he had a decidedly
successful trip and succeeded in
pushing a number of the factory's
leading cigars into new fields where
heretofore their merits were un
known.

Salesman P. E Beetem who has
been south, doing unusually well,
has returned home, and will remain
probably until after New Year's,
when for the first time he will go
west to book orders.

The factory is running to its fullest
capacity and night work also is be-
ing done in order to promptly get
orders out on time. This factory
confines itself pretty closely to its
popular and standard brands. Their
sales have steadily increased and
they consider it good business sa-
gacity to remain with that known
to be tried and true rather than
stray away into unknown fields.

The Demand Grows.

S. G. Simon, junior member of
the firm of Stephano Bros., manu-
facturers of Turkish cigarettes, is
back from a business and pleasure

trip to California. He had a fine
time and booked a lot of orders.

The Stephano house is one of the
few Turkish cigarette houses in the
United States.andasa consequence,
they deal with an exclusive line of
customers and are correspondingly
independent of usual trade condi
tions. At present their chief worry
is how to fill their unprecedented
holiday orders. The demand for
Turkish cigarettes has rapidly
grown.

A Fortunate Purchase
C. C Rosenberg, of the El Pro-
ved© factory, who returned from
Cuba last week, purchased 62 bales
of best Havana for his house while
at Havana. The purchase, in view
of this year's shortage, is a lucky
one and insures a continuation of
the output of highgradecigars made
by El Provedo.

Everyone Busy.
At the M. D. Neumann & Co.
factory they are hxxsy in fact behind
with orders, but fortunately have
plenty of hands.

S. C. Mayer, secretary of the
company, returned home last week
after a busy and successful southern
trip.

At Home.
The Florodora Tag people are
now "at home" in their new head-

quarters. 60a Arch street. The tag
folks have leased the entire building
and employed additional help and
it is quite likely that all of the
branch tag depots will be consoli
dated soon at the Arch street store.

New Store.

M. Gartman's new cigar store at
1 1 30 Columbia avenue is neatly
decorated and carries an up todate
line of cigars, tobaccos and smokers'
materials. The location is a good
one and the proprietor should be
able to command a good trade.
%»
Clear Havanas.

AtM.Hernandez'sclear Havana
only cigar factory on Columbia ave-
nue, twelve hands are nowemployed
and orders are plentiful. Mr. Her
nandezispushinghisleading brands.
La Capitoli, 10 cent, and El Fenix,
5 cent, and they can be found in
leading sales places. The demand
for these cigars is steady which shows
that smokers enjoy them and stick
to a favorite cigar.

A Successful Season.

Jeitles & Blumenthal will not
solicit any more cigar orders until
the present holiday rush is over.
Their factory is running overtime
and full handed The past has been
a most successful year for them.

The Best Month.

Sheip & Vandegrift, the cigar
manufacturers of North Lawrence
street, are happy because the ma-
chinery in their newly added build-
ings is in good running order and

in other ways their plant is doing
excellent work. Seven new planers
and three new saws were added,
employing ten new hands on these
alone, and many of the other ma-
chines were changed about to more
advantageous positions.

"These changes and additions,"
said one of the firm to a World re-
porter, "benefited us to the extent
that last month, NovemSer, was the
best month we've had since we've
been in business." J. M. Huns-
berger, salesman with the firm,
started out last Monday for a trip
through the east. His recent tour
through Pennsylvania met with big
order returns, and J. M. was
pleased.

Another U. C. S. Co. Store.

A notice in the display window
of the store on the north side of
Market street near 13th announces
that as soon as alterations are com-
pleted the place will be opened as
a cigar store by the United Cigar
Stores Company. This is in line
with the statement of the local man-
ager, made to a World reporter re-
cently, that it was the intention of
the United people to go ahead and
open additional cigar stores as soon
as desirable stands could be secured.

Increasing Trade.
Charles Bobstatter is personally
looking after the output of his two
leading brands, the Lord de Com-
mercio, 10 cent and El Premio, 5-
cent cigars and has nothing to com-
plain of in the way of lack of orders.
His holiday trade will far surpass
that of last year.

The Demand Growing.
W. H. Allen & Sons are fairly
busy at their Richmond street fac
tory and report a growing demand
for their 3-cent Nox-All cigar.
Their 5 cent cigar, the Archer, is
being well received by the trade as
usual.

He's Very Busy.

S. Lohrens, of S. Lohrens & Co.
is very busy these days looking after
the factory at Pennsburg and the
Ridge avenue one as well. Between
thirty and forty workmen are busy
at the Pennsburg factory getting out
orders for the popular Susette 5c
brand, which is a great favorite with
a large class of smokers. The L-
& L. , the factory's 10c cigar, is also
having large sales.

Manufacturers' Inquiring.

"Our manufacturers are com-
mencing to realize that the new
crops of tobacco are poor," said
Leopold Loeb of the L,oeb Nunez
Co. yesterday, "and they are mak-
ing inquiries for the old crops as
well as laying in stock."

General Nudce, who spent a busy
two weeks in Philadelphia, departed
for his home in Havana province
last week.

Milton Herold, secretary of the
company, is, with his wife, enjoy-
ing a splendid time in Havana and
may remain three or four weeks.

Away on a Bridal Trip.

K. Straus & Co. are now com-
fortably located at Third and Vine
streets. This week they supplied a
rather brisk demand for Sumatra.

Adolph Loeb, junior member of
K. Straus & Co., and his wife are
away on their bridal trip to Hot
Springs. Va., but will most likely
return the latter part of this week.

A Splendid Year.

Bremer Bros & Boehm have just
finished stock taking and are thor-
oughly well pleased with the past
year's business.

Oscar G Boehm, of the firm, will
leave som ^ time this week for a trip
through Pennsylvania.

Salesman C. S. Martinez hai re-
covered from his two weeks' indis*
position and left yesterday for a
trip through the State.
««*

A Choice Holding.
"Our Wisconsin and Zimmers are
moving in fairly large lots," said
John Young, of Young & Newman,
yesterday. "And I'd just say that
we have quite a holding of 1900
Penna. broad leaf B's. World
readers may be interested in the
fact."

Predicts a Busy Year.
J. W Eckerson, Jr., of F. Ecker-
son & Co , left for the West last
Sunday on a regular business trip
He will return by Christmas.

Qaestioned concerning the pro
spective state of trade after January
ist, F Eckerson said, "I judge
from inquiries and orders already on
hand that it will be excellent"
«^
Southern Trade Good.
D. H Mouldsdale, Batimore
representative of Vetterlein Bros.,

N. Fifth street, was in Philadelphia
Saturday. He reports trade good
in the South.

A High Toned Cigar.

A visit to the salesroom of Brucker
& Boghien, North Front street, is
a treat to one who admires an at-
tractive display of smokers' ma-
terials, etc.

"B. & B.," are having an al-
most phenomenal run on their 3c.
cigar, the High Toned.

"These cigars are now sold by
over 1,600 retailers in Philadel- ^
phia," said one of the firm to a W/
World representative. We employ
seven salesmen in the city and three
teams and in addition, we employ
outside salesmen of course. At the
factory between eighty and ninety
skilled cigarmakers are working
upon the High Toned, and in order
to fill factory orders the factory is
working almost every night. We
started putting up twenty- five ci-
gars in a box not long ago, and the
plan has made a decided hit."

Mostly Personal.

— The executors of the estate of the
late Leopold Bamberger, leaf tobacco
merchant, filed an inventory with the
Register of Wills of Philadelphia on Sat-
urday last.

— Mr, Brosey, of the Brosey Cigar Co.,
Lancaster, was visiting Philadelphia pa-
trons the last three days of last week.

— E. D. Marshall, with the Theobald
& Oppenheimer Co. , is home again after
a successful southern and western trip.

— Samuel Klopp, a leading manufac-
turer of Richland, Pa. , was in Philadel-
phia this week and made a number of
leaf purchases.

— Herman Solomon, of Solomon Bros.,
importers, New York city, was in Phila-
delphia on Monday, and remains for a
day or two looking after customers' in-
terests.

— Mr. Hanna, of the firm of Hanna &
Co. , Dayton, O. , tobacco brokers, was a
visitor here last week.

PHILA. I,BAP MARKMT.

The leaf market during the past week
has been active and dealers have no
complaint to make as to amount of busi-
ness transacted. Several 50-case sales
were made in Sumatra and Havana, and
there was a good demand for Wisconsins
and Zimmers. The demand generally
for all grades of leaf was above the aver-
age, and inquiiies coming in from manu-
facturers indicate that their stocks are ^^,
getting low and that they must soon re- ^^
plenish. The fact that this year's crop
of tobacco is light in yield and rather
poor is leading the manufacturers to look
sharply after old stocks, and the indica-
tions are that soon after New Year's the
market will perceptibly liven up.

Business with the manufacturers could
hardly be better. They are very busy,
and will be until the holiday rush is over.
Retailers are doing a good business, and
predict that it will continue until after
the first of the new year.

Exports. — Antwerp — 10 cases plug;
4 hhds. stems; 12 bbls. leaf; 9I cases
tobacco; 67 tons.

Big Sale ot Choice Sumatra.

E Rosenwald & Bro announce
that on December 3 they sold to
Alles & Fisher, the well known ci-

York*s Booming Business,

Cigar Manufacturers Working Over-
time— Newly Patented Device
for Triangular Shaped Ci-
gars— Other Notes.

York, Pa., December 8, 1902.

York leaf tobacco dealers report
a fairly satisfactory volume of busi
ness transacted last week. The de
mand for leaf continues, and shows
that the cigarmaking business is
booming. Tobacco growers are
waiting for casing weather so as to
deliver their crop to the warehouses
The dealers are also anxious to re-
ceive a portion of their purchases
as they have a busy season ahead
getting the tobacco in cases. Buy
ers of the 1902 crop have been
active during the past week or ten
days. The following purchases
•were made recently by R. D. Zeck,
agent for S L. Johns: L Levi, two
acres at 8>^ and 2c, five acres at 8
and 2c; Charles Mohr, three acres
at 8 and 2c; Frank Eby, two acres
at 8>4 and 2c; Henry Miller, three
acres at 8 and 2c; Edward Mohr,
three acres at 8 and 2c; Henry
Renerberger, three acres at 8 and
2 cents.

That the cigarmaking business is
booming in York county is told by
the receipts at the York office of the
Ninth Pennsylvania Revenue Dis
trict for the month of November,
which were $110,405.24. This in-
cludes liquor, tobacco and cigar
stamp sales, but the greater part of
the amount was from the sale of
tobacco and cigar stamps. This is
an increase of $6,261.71 over No-
vember, 1901, when the receipts
^ere $103,943.53

The cigarmaking business in
York county was never in a more
prosperous and flourishing condi-
tion than at present. All factories
in York and vicinity are crowded
with orders and the output is limited
because of the inability of manufac
turers to get more cigarmakers
Many of the factories are working
overtime in order to get out goods
for the holiday trade. Salesmen on
the road say they have no trouble
to sell goods these days, but the
most puzzling question just now is
how to get orders filled and deliver
ed to cnstomern in time.

H. L. Strobeck and F. Smille,
Red Lion cigar manufacturers, have
secured a patent for a new cigar
pressing device. It makes triangu-
lar shaped cigars — a decided novelty

Janesville, Wis., Dec. 6, 1902.

Some buying has been done this
week, but bad weather and storms
have prevented much riding and
but little buying has been done.

A damp spell set iin Tuesday
morning but did not continue long
enough to bring the hanging tobacco
into good case. A small amount
was taken down near the doors. A
cold spell set in Wednesday and it
has been cold and snowing most of
the time since. The farmers are
anxious for good casing weather as
they are ready to begin stripping,
and the buyers are equally anxious
to begin assorting, as they have a
long, busy season's work ahead of
them.

Old ^oods have been a little more
active this week and one of the best
sales for many weeks was made
when J Friedman& Co., of Chicago,
sold their packing of 19CO. put up
by San ford Soverhill, of this city,
to the United Cigar Manufacturers

LiBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION IVlACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaiaing a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse^
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

San Francisco, Dec. 2, 1902
Two or three consective weeks of
bright clear days have kept up in
this oity a brisk, moving trade with
the retailers. Jobbers and manu-
facturers are crowded and working
overtime to fill holiday orders
There seems to be a temporary de
mand for union labor brands of
goods, but it is doubtful if it will be
a lasting one. The goods that are
selling in constantly increasing
uumbcrs are the largely advertised
and leading brands of eastern make.

With the trade generally a high
tone of business is noticeable and
also an increasing output *>f higher
priced lines.

M. A. Gunst, of M A. Gunst &
Co jobbers and retailers, is expected
to arrive here from Europe in a few
days. He will remain in San Fran-
cisco ten days and then return to
his family in Switzerland. Alfred
Esberg, a member of the firm, is
in Oregon and Washington, visit
ing the branch stores. From the
main store of this company and the
five branch stores about town, as
well as from the branch stores in
Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Wash-
ington, and Los Angeles, Cal ,
come reports of an increase of busi
ness over that of last year. The
company controls the cigar stands
at the three principal race tracks
here and the opening of the Ingle -
side track as caused a big influx of
trade to the branch at that location
A new cigar recently added by this
firm to its stock is the Van Dyck
clear Havana, for which such a de- j
mand has been created that it has
been impossible to keep up with
staple sizes.

"Doc." Strauss, with Blaskower

Cleveland, O., December 8, 1902
A suit for breach of contract was aired
in Justice Cummings' court last week
which had a tinge of the two Dromeos
about it. Walter Smith & Co., cigar
dealers in the "Lavan" on Superior street,
sued James and Mary Lavan for $280
damages because the Lavan s, in face of
an agreement not to, as the Smiths alleged,
allowed another cigar dealer-whose name
also was Smith — to sell cigars and tobac-
cos in the building. The Lavans denied
that they had made an agreement to give
W. Smith & Co. exclusive cigar-selling
rights in their building and produced the
lease signed with the Smiths as proof.
As the lease contained no mention of the
agreement, judgment was found for the
Lavan s.

Irving Halpern. Ohio Manager of the
Khedivial Co. , has established headquar-
ters in the Rose Building. He states
that the demands for his firm' s goods are
increasing.

Cleveland manufacturers are crowded
with holiday orders — so much so that
many of them are running overtime. The
trade demand is mostly for regular sized
5c and IOC goods. The small cigar sales
have fallen off at least one third less this
year and the reason is hard to account for.
Marcus Feder's large factory is unusu-
ally busy. His London Whiffs and Mex-
ico-Rico are in the foreranks of popular
cigars and as the saying is they have evi-

dently come to stay. The chief concern
of the factory now is to meet holiday orders
on time. But Mr. Feder will do it.

The R. Sc W. Jenkinson Co. have
opened a new cigar store in the Schofield
Building and sales started at once with a
pleasing activity. The new store is bright
and attractive.

Vicente Portuondo's 5c and loc brands
are being pushed by S. E. Schwarz of the
Wallace & Schwarz Company and are
having heavy sales. Harry Mills, the
Portuondo salesmen will be welcome when
he comes this way again.

A number of handsome window dis-
plays are being made by up-to-date re-
tailers, several noticeably neat ones being
on Superior street and Woodland ave.
That these displays attract attention and
pay in advertising is beyond controversy.
Let others heed the example set.

Among visitors to the city lately were
the following: H. G. Dean, a Warren, O.,
dealer; C. L. Simon, junior member of
the Turkish cigarette firm of Philadelphia,
Stephano Bros. , who was on his way home
from Pacific Coast pomts.

Reading, Pa., Dec. 6, 1902.
Sam Hantsch has just placed on sale
his new brand of cigars, The Colonial
Trust. The title and label have been
copyrighted. The label on the lid of the
box bears a fine picture of the Colonial

Trust Company's new building here, and
on either side are portraits of Mr. Hantsch
and his son Howard, Mr. Hantsch' s
window display of Christmas goods is one
of the finest in the city.

Cigar manufacturer Julius Hansen is
home from a month's trip through the
we-.t. He reports business conditions
favorable in that section, and booked a
number of ordeis for his leading brands.
His factory is very busy at pre.sent, run-
ning overtime several nij;hts in the week.

The Heidel Tobacco Co., recently
started, has placed on the market a neat
package of butls styled the Daisy Butts,
which are union made. They are of fine
flavor and can be used for both smoking
and chewing purposes.

The Ci;;aim.ikers' Union of Reading
h.is approved the gr.mting of a chartei for
a new union which has been started at
Mohnsville, Beiks county, with some 40
niembeis. They are now connected with
I he local union in this city and will be
ir.in-ferred, as will also the factories in
that distiict which are now using the
union label,

' The cigar factory of L. G. Steely has
been moved from 141 South Seventh to
801 North Eighth, where Mr. Steely will
have much larger headquarters.

I opened here during the past year — the
best record the trade has made for some
time.

J. G. Spatz & Co. , the Fleck Cigar Co. ,
of this city, and Valentine & Son, of
Womelsdorf, are advertising for cigar-
makers and other hands. They are very
j busy and cannot secure enough help.

Charles E. Auman, who purchased the
cigar store at the southwest corner of 9th
and Walnut streets, has made a number
of improvements in the place. Mr. Au-
■nan is a well known cigarmaker, and
formerly served on Mayor Leader's po-
lite force.

Hairy Giing, cigar manufacturer of
Frilztown, Beik> county, was in town last
week. He says that he is working night
and day to fill orders, and that he could
use at least 30 moie h.mds.

Wren & Koons, cigar manufacturers of
Topton, Beiks county, have installed a
new huiizont.il boi'er in their f.ictory.
They are very busy at piesent, being
compelled to work oveitime to fill the
orders.

Cigar manufacturers here are still com-
plaining of the scarcity of labor, and
state tiiat hundreds moie could be given
employment if they could be secured.
They are badly in need of hands to keep
up with their oiders and deliver goods in
the time they iiave been contracted for.
A cigarmaker out of woi k here is an odd
occuiience. Traveling cigarmakers ate
no longer seen visiting cigar factories in
search of work. The facioiies are busier
now than at any time of the year, owing
to the approach of the holiday tr.ide.

The factory of Stewart, Newberger &
Co. is one of the many industri.il con-
cernswhich issei lously hampered bec.iuse
of the scarcity of libor. They are rushed
with oiders, but are unable to get the
people they need. W. W. Stewart, a
member of the finn, said many overtures
h ive been made to secure more help
without success. The firm has booked a
large number of orders for their leading
b.inds.

Harry S. Wolfskill, a well known
young business man of Reading, has

South Ninth street. He has fitted out
the place in a neat manner,

Five Cent Goods Unequaled for the Money.

J^uis Marx on Reciprocity.

Don Luis Marx expressed himself
as follows on reciprocity with Cuba
to a New York World reporter in
Havana the other day:

" A 20 per cent . reduction of duty
on Cuban tobacco may sound large
to the United States lawmakers,
but to the Cuban farmer, whom it
is meant to benefit, it is a mere beg
^arly dole," said Luis Marx to the
World correspondent to day.

Mr. Marx is familiar with the to
bacco trade of the world, grows a
grade that he says will bring his
price regardless of treaties, and has
large business interests in the United
States, of which country he is a
•citizen.

"A reciprocal reduction of duty
■on imports from the United States
into Cuba," Mr. Marx, continued,
"will mean a corresponding reduc
tion in the custom revenues of Cuba
-which will have to be met by an in
-crease of other taxes to meet the
'expenses of government. And on
whom will that increase naturally
fall? On the farmer, the very man
the reciprocity treaty proposes to
assist.

"The present duty on a 100 pound
bale of the Cuban 'filler' tobacco is
4535. From this filler tobacco there
is manufactured in the United States
a cigar covered with a Sumatra or
American wrapper, and with an
American binder, that is sold to the
■dealer for from $50 to $70 a thou
«and, and by him to the customer
at the rate of three for a quarter and
ten cents, respectively. With a re
<iuction of 20 per cent, the duty on
this bale would be $28. The great
«st number of cigars that can be
made from that bale is 6,500, mak
ing a difiference in the cost of 1,000
<:igars of $1 12, a little less than
•eleven cents in the price of a box
of 100 — a very small amount when
you get down to the price of one
•cigar.

"On the all Havana cigar made
in the United States, the cigar man
ufactured there from wrapper and
£ller tobacco imported from Cuba
the effect of a to per cent, reduction
in duty will be hardly more.

"On Havana made cigars selling
for $100 to the importer a reduction
of 20 per cent in duty means $18 50

a thousand less, while for the cigar
that sells at I50 a thousand it is
$1510. The Havana manufacturer
is benefited $18 50 and $15.10, re-
spectively, as against $2 and $(12
on the part of the American manu-
facturer.

"Then there is another point to
be considered As soon as it would
be known in the United States that
a 20 per cent reduction had been
made, the consumer would demand
that reduction from the cigar dealer,
the dealer will make the same de-
mand on the manufacturer, and the
buyer in Cuba will tell the farmer
that as the manufacturer has to sell
his cigars so much cheaper he can-
not pay as much for the raw material
as before.

' A 20 per cent, reduction on to-
bacco will not do me nor any other
farmer on this island one bit of
good A reduction of 50 per cent,
on raw material would show, but
the fair thing towards Cuba would
be a uniform rate on wrapper and
filler tobacco of 20 or 25 cents a
pound.

• The American Tobacco Co.,
which substantially monopolizes the
cigar industry here, would not be
injured by a 50 per cent, reduction
or a uniform rate of 20 or 25 cents,
since its output in the United States
of Havana filled and clear Havana
cigars is comparably larger than its
production in Cuba.

"I do not believe 20 percent reci
procity would make the difference to
the trade in the United States of the
value of the ink used in reporting
this interview.

"Most people outside of the trade
have an idea that the bulk of the
cigars smoked in the United States
and elsewhere come from Cuba The
figures probably will astonish you
There were exported in 1900 from
Cuba to all parts of the world 204,-
971 395 cigars, and last year 213.
425 089 cigars, so that the output of
one New Yoik factory , which is said
to manufacture a million cigars a
day, is one and a half times greater
than the entire export of Cuba, and
the firm's output probably is small
by comparison with the output of
the American Tobacco Co.'s fac
tories in the United States. The
exportation of Cuban tobacco and
the percentage of it used in the man-
ufacture of cigars in the United
States is nothing compared with the
domestic tobacco used. ' '

Magistrate Foster, of New York
city, has set free Juan Sabater and
Roberto Ortega y Rodriguez, the
two Spanish-speaking crooks who,
on the afternoon of October 25 were
interrupted in the robbery of the
place of business of Manuel Menen-
dez, in the Beekman Building, at
Pearl and Beekman streets, after
they had packed up 2,000 of Mr.
Menendez's Deidad high price clear
Havana cigars ready for removal
from the building. In the eflfort to
escape Sabater leaped out of the
second story window and broke his
ankle, and Rodriguez was appre
hended in the throng which the ex
citement had brought together.

Magistrate Foster let Sabater go
on the ground that he had "suflfered
enough," and on December 2, when
the case of Rodriguez was called,
the prisoner told a glib lie about his
presence in Mr. Menendez's place of
business on October 25, and the
Magistrate believed him. Assistant
District Attorney Clark, to whom
the prosecution of Rodriguez had
been assigned, had not taken the
trouble to post himself as to the
case. Mr. Menendez, the prosecut
ing witness, was not prestnt in
court, because he had received no
notice that the case would be
called. The police of New York
city have taken no interest whatever
in the dangerous band of crooks ol
jvhich Sabater and Rodriguez are
members. Now that these two ar^
free and the rest of the gang immune
from punishment for past offences
it is altogether likely that they will
renew their depredations upon cigar
fictories in the down town New
York leaf district.

Trade Notes, Personals, and Other
News from the Wisconsin Area.

Milwaukee, Nov. 29, 1902.

The leaf dealers and cigar jobbers
report a quiet week, with business
only fair. Manufacturers, on the
other hand, report a rushing busi-
ness, most of the large factories hav-
ing orders enough to keep them
busy for some time to come. Collec-
tions on the whole are quite slow.

George J. Schuster, the Broad-
way leaf man, is busily engaged in
packing Ohio seed and will soon be
ready to go at the Wisconsin and
Connecticut tobaccos. Mr Allan
is at present in the east looking for
fine Connecticut Broadleaf and re-
ports the purchase of a few crops.

Andrew Norman, from Stough-
ton, formerly buyer for the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co., has been engaged
by G. J Schuster and will look out
for his interests in Wisconsin.

G. W. Hecker, former traveling
salesman for Daly & Fry, of Cincin-
nati, starts on his maiden trip for
G. J. Schuster to day. He will
cover part of Illinois, Indiana, Mis-
souri, Nebraska and Kansas.

David Sachs, of Wetzler, Sachs
& Co., started Wednesday on a trip
through Illinois.

Reichert & La Boule are receiv-
ing quite a packing of Connecticut,
Mr Reichert returned to- day from
a trip to Minneapolis and St, Paul.

Mike Johnson, traveling in Mich-
igan for Aug. C. Kurz, got home
Tuesday and reports some fine
business.

The fine stock farm near Muk-
soonago, known as the "Chas Btst'^
farm, has been purchased from Wm.
Spence by Geo. J. Schuster. The
farm contains nearly 400 acres. Mr.
Schuster intends to raise tobacco
and live stock on the same.

Spiegel's drug store is cutting on
some well known brands and is
offering Tom Moon and The Barris-
ter at 4 for 25 cents. This kind of
cutting will hurt the trade in the end.

Holiday displays are already in
evidence here and the windows of
Frobach, Sam Kind & Bro. and
Fay Lewis & Bros. Co. are worthy
of special mention.

Mr. Goldsmith, of F &E Cranz,.
Wm. E Fischer, of Schroeder &
Arguimbau, and Eugene Lipkow,
broker from Chicago, were among
the callers this week.

"Uncle Sam Uses More and More
of the Weed.

America gave the world tobacco
and though its use has extended
throughout civilization it is still
produced and used more largely in
this country than anywhere else.
During the last fiscal year no less
than 6 870,000 000 cigars were man
ufactured in the United States, or
about 86 per capita for our entire
population.

Though we are accused of becom
ing a nation of cigarette fiends we.
make less than one half as many
cigarettes as cigars, the figures for
the last fiscal year being 2,650,000,-
000, or only 33 per capita, as against
S6 cigars. We go it pretty strong
on smoking and chewing tobacco,
also having used per capita during
the last fiscal year no less than 37
pounds of the stuff.and a little less
than one fifth of a pound of snuff

The consumption of tobacco per
head in the United States is much
in excess of what it is in England
France, or Germany. The average
purchasing power of Americans is
greater and tobacco costs less than
it does in countries like France and
Great Britain, where it is heavily
taxed. The tax on it in the United
States is low in comparison and yet
last year the consumers of tobacco
paid over $51,000,000 into the na
tional treasury. They paid a great
deal more than that to the tobacco
growers and the manufacturers and
retailers who handled their product
The total value of the manufactured
products of tobacco last year at the
factory was about $300,000,000.

The consumption of tobacco in
the world at large is increasing
steadily, but nowhere so rapidly as
in theUnited States.— Atlanta (Ga .)

Lancaster Tobacco News.

Condition of the Leaf Market — Buy-

ings of 1902 Crops — Manufac-
turers Busy.
Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 6, 1902.

Very little change in the volume
of business in old goods has been
noted since last week. Some small
scattering sales to manufacturers
are reported. Large manufacturers
and jobbers do not show an inclina-
tion to replenish their stocks before
they have taken their inventories,
and as the year nears an end, out
of town buyers are becoming scarcer.

The buying of the 1902 crop still
continues, and as the amount unsold
grows smaller, the greater is the
anxiety of packers who have been
holding off, to secure a portion at
prevailing prices.

S. C. Owens representing the
American Tobacco Company has
been buying the 1902 crop exten
sively this week. He was in Wash-
ington Borough the first three days
of the week and bought these crops:
Benjamin C Young, 9 acres, gyi.
3 and 2; Benjamin F. Walk, 2 acres,
9^ and 2; Harvey Brush, 2 acres
9^ and 2; Joseph Green, 2 acres,
9>^ and 2; A. F Stauffer, 4 acres.
9, 3 and 2; William Ortman, 2_J^
acres, 9>4, 9>^ and 2^; John 5
acres, 9, 3 and 2; Witmer & Walk,
9>^ acres, 9>^, 9 and 3; Milton
Shultz, 5>^ acres, 9, 3 and 2; John
Acker man 3 acres, S/^ 3 and 2.

Manufacturers are rushed getting
out their holiday goods to the job
bers to meet the demands of the
trade. Very few new orders are
being booked. They seem well
pleased with the volume of business
done during the year, and are dis
posed to rest on their laurels until
the New Year opens.

Three Gilded Spheres.

The foreman at Roedel & Co.'s
Philadelphia factory lately noticed
one of the hands carrying around
a very small tobacco box. The man
handled the box so carefully and
seemed so afraid of losing it, that
finally the shop boss' curiosity was
aroused.

••What have you in that box,
Jim?" he inquired.

••Overcoat, trousers, dress vest
and a suit of clothes," answered
Jim.

••What!" gasped the foreman.
Then he "sized up" Jim to see if
he was ''looneyish." "You don't
mean to say that all of them clothes
is in that box Jim, do you?" con
tinned the foreman.

••Of course "

••Impossible!"

••Well, the tickets for them are."

And the foreman went out to see
his uncle.

MAKE, MORE,
^^ M O N E Y ^ ^

The way to make more money is to
make more and better cigars in less time
and at less cost than you have heretofore
been doing.

Perhaps you do not need to be told that,
but you do need to be told and convinced
that the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table will
enable you to do all this, and that it is,
therefore, a money-maker which you cannot
afford to overlook for
another day.

By the aid of this
table you get a hand-
made cigar in the easiest
way, the quickest way,
and the most economi-
cal way.

The machine rolled
cigar is unsatisfactory, to
say the least.

The human hand
governed by a skilled
brain is the only thing
that can make good
cigars.

The reason is, that a
cigar cannot be well made
and cannot smoke well
unless the wrapper "hugs
the bunch" exactly and
tightly at every point, and unless the head is
made with the utmost care.

Machine rolled cigars have poor heads,
the wrapper does not tit, "skippers" come
often, and the numerous "pockets" along
the lap edge make the whole thing an inferior
product.

With the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table you
get the best possible product.

The removal of the dies and rollers in this
table does away with all previous obiections to
suction tables.

The DuBrul table is very simple in mech-
anism, the cutting is done by a circular knife
which is easy to keep sharp, and there are
no dies or anything else in the way of the
operator.

It always cuts a perfect wrapper with a

clean cut edge.

There is no waste,
no wrappers getting
mashed or twisted in the
rollers and, as the cutting
mechanism swings .iway
after the wrapper is cut,
the operator has :ill the
room needed, and a w nip-
per in perfect condition
with which to do a good
piece of work.

Operators like this
table because it is simple,
and they won't leave it
for an\- die table.

Foremen like it be-
cause there is no siiarp-
ening of dies and no
adjusting of anything.
Manufacturers like it
because it is a money-maker without an eejual.
We have just issued a little book which
tells all about this table, and, why you ought
to have it.

This book we will be glad to send to you
if you write. Ask for booklet w. s.

Please remember that we sell the best die
table made, and can show you either style at
our offices.

TRUSTS AND THE RETAILERS.
Views Upon these Subjects by Local Tobacco Men.

Opinions Widely Differ — Some are for and Some Against.
Several New Ideas on the Question.

The subjects of the Trusts and
the formation of the retail cigar
dealers' association have received
more or less consideration by the
large army of tobacco men in Phil
adelphia, and World reporters have
been to some pains to try and secure
a fair representative concensus of
opinion concerning the same. It
can readily be seen that there is a
wide difference of opinion upon the
subjects and again, a number of
new and rather unique ideas bear
ing upon the matters are expressed
as herewith reported. The majority
of Philadelphia tobacco people are
quite outspoken in their views and
few of them admit seeing any danger
from the operations of the big to-
bacco companies in the Quaker City
field. Some of the views as gathered
by world representatives are here-
with given:

Robert Klee, manufacturer — "If
th« retailers intend to fight the trust
goods they should be strict about
it. They should positively refuse
to sell the goods and stick to that
resolution. The future of the in
dependent cigar men, I believe, is
to be better than ever. Dealers are
beginning to see the danger to their
interests of the large combinations
of capital and no doubt they will
cut away from the trust more and
more with the result that their trade
will expand."

Jos. C. Heymann, with Dunn &
Co., manufacttirers — "Our house
believes the retailer has cause to
organize and that he ought to do it.
We stand ready to do all we can to
help the movement along."

Wm. C. Becker, manufacturer
and retailer— "I have little faith in
the cry 'push independent goods!'
and for this reason: We have pushed
the products of independent fac
tories. We stood at our counters
educating the c ;nsumer to take this
and that independent brand, and
then, when we had built up a nice
trade, what happened? Why, the
trust stepped in and bought up the
independent factory and reaped all
of the resulting benefit. And what
happened more than once will
happen again. I'm tired of boom*
ing anybody's goods but my own.
I intend hereafter to give a cus-
tomer just what he asks for."

When one of the firm of the Suiz
berger Oppenheimer Co. was ap
proached by a World reporter for
an opinion — or for trade news either,
he almost dropped the reporter's
business card and nervously said:
"Oh, gracious, we don't want our
name in the newspapers at all, at

all. We want to be left alone —
just alone, you know. We don't
care whether people know we are
here, you know; no, really w*
don't."

And for fear that his presence
might drive somebody into nervooa
prostration the World man segre-
gated out into the cold cruel world.
t,. Kruppenbach, leaf dealer
and manufacturer: "The retailer*
have brought this trust fight upon
themselves, to my way of thinking,
and they must fight it out. How-
ever, I've been so busy here in the
factory I haven't kept in accord
with the ins and outs of the matter . ' ^
M. Hernandez, retail dealer and
manufacturer: — "I favor the re-
tailers' organization movement and
believe it will result in good. But
they must work together and prove
stayers."

D. I. Mange, of Mange, Weisaer
& Co., manufacturers — "The so-
called tobacco trust can never con-
trol the crops of tobacco. God doe*
that. The trust may buy up a sea-
son or two's crops and hold them,
but what of that? Will it not create
such a demand that the growers—
in fact the people generally, will at
once raise such crops as to supplj
more than the demand? I believe
so. No, the tobacco interests are
too large and varied to ever be con-
trolled as a monopoly and the thinff
doesn't worry me a particle."

Joseph Hollard, of J. Hollard 8l
Sons, jobbers and manufacturers:
"From my point of view the re-
tailers' movement is hardly practic-
able, and I will tell you why I think
so: The retailer, by necessity and
environment, is selfish and will sell
whatever is called for. If he i»
determined to crush out trust goods,
let him hide away their signs and
put their goods away out of sight
under the counter, to the end that
the customer will see and call for
independent goods. I am not op-
posed to the retailers' protective
movement, mind you; but the fault
lies where I told you and the further
fact that there must be almost com-
plete organization throughout the
city, which I believe the organiza-
tion cannot get. Philadelphia fo
very much spread out, you know;
A few trust cigar stores down town
in the central district, will not hurt
the inter- urban and suburban shop
keepers and dealers and they are
apt to go on as before.

*'On the other hand I don't be-
lieve the chain system of cigar stores
will prove a success in Philadelphia.
The city is too spread out. The

•

# •

THB TOBACCO WORLD

premium system to- day keeps the
trust goods up. Let them drop the
premium system and I fancy their
sales would drop too. But people
do like premiums; of that there is
plenty of proof and it may be the
independents can pick up that idea
and use it to advantage in the pres-
ent competitive struggle for trade
supremacy. The whole trust iques-
tion is allied to ethics. We can't
legally stop the organization of large
combinations of capital. They have
a right to exist. But it does seem
to me that the people, who are in-
terested, should have the right to
make them do business honestly
and legally."

Joseph E. Tuck, retailer- "Being
president of the retailers' associa-
tion speaks for where I stand on the
question, of course. My public
utterances, too, show where I stand.
We do not necessarily need to 'fight
the trust, but we can protect our-
selves to the end that we can and
will handle anybody's goods we
want to sell."

John Allen, of John Allen & Sons,
manufacturers: "The protective as-
sociation idea is a good one if the
retailers will only stick together and
don't fight one another. When the
trust enters the retail field and com
mences opening retail stores it seems
to me they are overstepping the
mark. As to the consumer, take
him as a class and I haven't much
faith in the evenness and dependa
bility of his support. I have had
customers who have talked against
trusts and illegal combinations and
then deliberately turned around and
demanded trust products, saying
they preferred them. The consumer
is very apt to be inconsistent."

Tobacco Crops in November.

The November number of the
Crop Reporter says concerning to-
bacco:

"All of the ten principal tobacco
states except Pennsylvania report

Sales come in slowly, and often-
times with the mark of private
terms. When a larger price than
the customary price is paid, the
packer insists on keeping the price
secret, and this enables him to use
the seller as his instrument to en-
able the packer to buy his neigh-
bor's leaf at a low price. We are
sorry to see one grower inclined to
aid the packer in this way to the
injury of his neighbor.

There is much very choice leaf
in the Connecticut Valley, and
along with that there is some leaf
that has cured rather dark, and,
consequently, which will not com-
mand the highest price. Many of
the growers will assort their own
crops, while others will employ
parties to assort it for them. We
learn that a grower in Whately is
to assort some 40 tons for others,
aside from his own. There are three
or four others that do the sam^
work for neighbors.

generally from 4c to 6c lower.
There is some pole sweat in some

of light wrappers is not large. I
am going to open my assortinjj

employ from twenty to twenty five

I have engaged to assort over U rty
tons for others. I have as yet some
200 cases of the 1901, and shall re
sample before offering it."

No buying of the new crop has
yet been reported. The tobacco has
cured in the sheds very slowly and
but a small amount has yet been
taken down. A few of the growers
have, however, removed their crops
from the sheds and report that the
tobacco is in good condition —
Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.

While there is yet some riding
being done for both the remnants of
old and new tobacco left in growers'
hands, there is a marked decline in
the volume of transactions and a
number of buyers are pulling out of
the field, waiting until the tobacco
comes down and is stripped before
increasing their holdings. If the
dealer is to take the remnants of a
buying campaign he feels he is en
titled to a closer inspection of the
tobacco than he is able to get in the
sheds.

Casing weather that preceded the
storm of this week has permitted
the growers to remove some tobacco
from the curing sheds but it is

feared that the weather turned cold
so soon that growers were unable to
take down their entire crop. Ware-
house handling is now awaiting de-
liveries of the crop which now
hinges upon stripping.

The market for old leaf develops
but few new features, though a
better demand for all descriptions
of serviceable tobacco is experienced
among packers A moderate busi-
ness in a small way is being done,
while the large transaction of the
week is the reported sale of 2 000
cases of 1900 by J Friedman & Co.,
Chicago dealers, to the United Cigar
Manufacturers — the Soverhill pack-
ing at Janesville.

Lebanon Tobacco Area.

Interesting Statements by Govern
ment Bureau of Soils.

The Bureau of Soils of the U S
Department of Agriculture, in its
annual report for 1901, has the
following to say concerning the
Lebanon area, Pennsylvania, anent
the fitness of the soil for tobacco
raising, etc. The Lebanon area,
covering 699 square miles, or 428,
030 acres, includes parts of Lan-
caster, Diuphin and Lebanon conn
ties. The report says: 'Tobacco
is the principal money crop raised
in this area."

The loams found consist of the
following: Hagerstown loam, 22
percent.; Hagerstown shale loam

33 percent.; Penn stony loam, 11^
per cent ; Penn sandy loam, 9 per
cent , Penn loam, 6 per cent.;
Cecil clay, 5 per cent ; Edpemont
stony loam. 5 per cent.; Donegal
gravelly loam. 3 per cent ; Dauphin
sandy loam, 2j^ percent ; Lickdale
clay loam, i per cent

The report says: "Upon some of
the lighter textured soils it would
seem that wrapper tobacco might be
introduced. * * * It is believed
that a more desirable filler leaf can
be grown on some of these soils
than is now produced. The ty\t
produced brings the farmer about
6 or 7 cents a pound. The Zimmer
Spanish tobaccoof the Mian.i Valley ,
Ohio, used for the same purpose
brings nearly twice as much The
importt-d Cuban leaf, used also as a
cigar filler, sells for $1 to $1503
pound. If the money value is a
true indication of the relative merits
of thfse tobaccos, there is certainly
great need of improving the Penn-
sylvania leaf, and the indications
are that with different seed and
different methods tht quality can be
very materially bettered The gen
eral conditions of agriculture in the
area are of such high order as t<>
admit of little suggestion for their
improvement The thrift of the
people is an object lesson for other
communities "

The report deals at some length
with the Government's successful
efforts to stamp out black rot from
Pennsvlvania tobacco in bales by a
new method of fermentation.

Pushing Tariff Work.

Germany is giving attention to a
new tariff as is shown by the follow-
ing cablegram from Berlin:

The majority groups in the Reich
stag have determined to pass the
Tariff bill before Christmas Accord
ing to the present programme, they
will try to pass the second reading
by Saturday, and pass the third
reading next week.

It is quite generally believed that
the recent heavy purchases of to
bacco in Germany by American
companies, with the view of corner
iuK the market, has had much to do
with the Reichstag's deep interest
with the new tariff Germany in
tends to practice reciprocity with
Uncle Sam.

Another Sumatra Smuggler
Caught.

U S Customs offi'^ers, assisted
by Jersey City police, arrested a
man named Joseph von Demrae in
Jersey City on the morning of
December i . on the charge of at
tempting to smuggle info the United
States 650 pounds of Sumatra to
bacco from one of the ships ply
ingbetween Antwerpand New York

Customs officers say that the only
certain way to break up this illicit
traffic in Sumatra will be for the im
oorters to hire their own detective
to keep a constant watch upon in
coming ships Customs men say
that with all their other duties to
be performed they cannot give to
this one subject the close attention
which the ingenuity and the bold
ness of the smugglers indicate are
necessary.

A Smart Move.

Partldos Said to Masquerade as
Vuelto Aba]o.

In connection with the recent
strike of cigarmakers at Havana,
Dr. Edward Fornias furnishes the
World with a copy of "El Mundo"
of Havana, and directs attention to
an article in that paper, written by
a correspondent from San Antonio
de los Banos, which is in the Par-
tidos tobacco district. Some time
ago the Havana Commercial Co.,
which is a branch of the American
Tobacco Company, opened a fac-
tory at San Antonio de los Banos,
in the rural district and where help
can be employed cheaper than in
Havana. The article from "El
Mundo" states that the police were
recently called to the San Antonio
de los Banos factory to quell a riot
but that they were surprised when

they reached the tactoiy to find no
disturbance; indeed, the workers
stated that they had no intention ol
striking as they were well satisfied
and pleased at being given employ
ment In that locality, too, the
factory is said to be using Partldos
tobacco (where < nee it ustd Vuelti)
Abajo) and of course that helps to
boom bu>iDess in that paiticulai
part of Cuba. The Kosa Aromatica
cigar, it would therefore seem, is
now made of Partid»i instead ol
Vuelto Abajo, and this move the
Cubans consider a smart one upon
the part of the American tobacco
people.

Cuban Tobacco in Texas.

Philadelphia Dealers and Brokers
Pronounce Favorable Opinion

' The Secretary of Agriculture is
sued the following statement last
week:

"The Bureau of Soils, which has
been engaged for a number of years
in investigations looking to the im
provement of our domestic tobaccos,
has recognized for some time the
desirable qualities in tobacco grown
in Texas, apparently occurring only
in occasional leaves. Only a small
amount of this leaf has been grown
this year which could be fermented
Samples have been submitted to
leaf dealers and brokers in New
York and Philadel} hia. They sa)
It is a Cuban leal with the charac
teristic aroma of the Cuban product

"The Department will send iwt-
survey parties to Texas soon to
prosecute the survey of the area
containing this soil and will enlarge
the party of tobacco experts so that
fifteen or twenty acres of tohat ct>
shall be grown under Government
supervision, thus producing a sut
ficient quantity to be bandied on a
commercial scale This will be
submitted to the leaf dealers and
manufacturers for opinions on th»
commercial value of the crop before
any encouragement is given to
Texas growers "

think, those numerous gentlemen
who smoke advertised brands of ci-
gars and cigarettes. There are
many novels, I am sure, not adver-
tised in the large way now so pre
valent, which might repay perusal
by women's eyes. There's "Clar
issa Harlowe," and " Pamela, "and
"Sir Charles Grandison," for in-
stance,each of which won tributes of
tears from the novel- readers whose
wants Samuel Richardson under
stood so well. There's "Consuelo"
and that whole vast library George
Sand wrote for French novel read
ing ladies. There are others, too,
in England, Germany, France, and
America, who have aimed their pens
at the feminine heart, but there is
nowhere in any land, nor has there
been at any time, anyone whose
marksmanship has been quite so
successful as Miss Louise de la

Ramee.

her heroes had to use tobacco in
jsome form, and so the clear-sighted
Miss de la Ramee made her men
smoke cigarettes. Seeing that ci-
garette smoking was a rare practice
in England when Ouida's first novel
was published, the experiment was
as daring as it was ingenious. But
the glorious success of it! In the
whole history of the literature of
fiction there is nothing like it The
reception Samuel Richardson's
"works" got from the feminine
world of his day is not to be men-
tioned in the same breath with the
ecstasy with which Granville de
Vigne was hailed, and as for George
Sand in France, well, Indiana was
a reasonably great success, but
there have been others in that
country which were far more im-
portant— Rousseau's "Emilie" for
instance — but in England, indeed,
in the English-speaking world, there
are no novels which women love
with one-thousandth part of the
same passionate joy which they had
for Ouida's first books. Trashy?
Of course they're trashy, I've said
all that before, but their pages are
full of cigarettes and a cigaiette in
a handsome man's mouth is so very
reckless! In Ouida's case the style
is the woman, for no one save a

Entered at Phila. P. O. as secondi-lass matter.

DECEMBER 17. 1902.

The cigarette, like the Mormons,
has few friends. People dealing in
tobacco condemn the whited grave-
yard agent more severely than those
outside the trade. "Smoke a pipe
or cigar," is their advice, ' 'or, if you
must smoke cigarettes, use them in
moderation." The latest fling at the
little lung destroyers was taken
last week by the commercial teachers
of Kansas, who were assembled in
state convention at Salina. The
convention adopted severe resolu-
tions in denunciation of the employ-
ing of young men in business who
are victims of the cigarette habit

The creation of a new seat in the
President's Cabinet, that of a Secre-
tary of Commerce, is earnestly to be
desired by the tobacco growers and
dealers of the United States for ob
vious reasons. The growth and
shipment of tobacco would, under
such an official, probably receive
far more care than is the case at
present, and again, it is fair to pre
sume that transportation matters
would also receive close attention
resulting in benefits to shippers.
Again, the matter of taxes upon to
bacco would come in for far better
attention, and no doubt the taxes
would be more equitable and satis-
factory to the taxpayers.

A New Jersey paper has gives
following timely comments anent
the formation of retailers' protective
associations and the tobacco trust:

In fighting the latest absorption
methods of this great trust the inde-
pendent dealers, even with organ-
ized labor at their back, have a hard
task, though the formation of a
stock company to that end has al
ready been undertaken and the sup-
port of the trade unions successfully
appealed to. The outcome of the
struggle, with the odds at present
in favor of the American Tobacco
Company, is difficult to forecast.
The average consumer's sympathies
may be with the anti trust dealers,
but when his pocket i* appealed to
his custom goes to the concern that
sells the most desirable goods at the
lowest prices. This is an econom

THE MANUFACTURBR'S DUTY TO HIMSBhF.A \ fT-

By TOSEI'H F. Cullman, of Cullman Bros.

Since it is well known that every
large combination of capital en-
gaged in manufacturing articles of
common use devotes a great part of
its energy and a considerable portion
of its capital to acquiring as large a
stock of desirable raw material as
possible— and that this is the policy
of the various corporations now en
gaged in cigar manufacturing we
all know, for their buyers are active
in every tobacco market — it seems
to me that the obvious duty that all
competing cigar manufacturers owe
to themselves, not only now but al
ways, is to accumulate as large a
stock for their own use as their
capital or their credit will permit.
In former years that was the com-
mon practice of all the large cigar
manufacturers. Each would buy a
very large stock of tobacco, particu-
larly of the domestic types. Such
tobaccos, if properly cared for, im
prove with age, and the possession
of a large supply enabled the manu-
facturer to produce for a long time,
and in large quantities, a cigar that
was uniform. It is, after all, the
cigar of uniform quality which
builds up both the reputation and
the fortune of the manufacturer.
The man who is forced, or who
elects to buy in small quantities on
the hand to mouth principle, is in
constant danger of losing the favor
of smokers for the very reason that
the uniformity of his product is im-
paired. While it is undeniable that
the taste of the general public in
the matter of cigars is infinitely
varied, it is nevertheless not a fickle
taste. Confirmed smokers are not in
the habit of changing their brands,
and those of them who do are usu-
ally convinced that the brand is no
longer what it used to be, i. e., its
quality is not uniform. A phrase
which is almost as often in the
mouths of cigar smokers as cigars
are, is "individualism in cigar
manufacturing." That "the style
is the man" is as true of cigars as it
is of books. Cigar manufacturers
are known by the cigars they put
upon the market. To preserve this
individualism in his product and to
make it recognizable by the public
is the aim of every wise manufac-
turer, and it is upon the public's
faith in his wisdom that the perma-
nency of his success depends. In-
dividualism in manufacturing need
not be pronounced, which is equiv-
alent to saying it need not be ec-
centric. The individualism of

which I speak results usually from
a combination of traits in the manu-
facturer, and among these traits a
painstaking personal supervision of i
every one of the details of his busi- '
ness ranks very high in my esteem.
It is neither difficult to learn how to
manufacture cigars properly nor |
how to sell them to advantage, and
once a cigar has gained public favor
the path of the manufacturer is
easier still. But it is precisely at'
this point that such a manufacturer '
will take serious counsel with him-
self on the subject of insuring the
continued success of his business.
Sensible men are almost a unit in .
admitting the wisdom of insuring
their lives for the benefit of their ;
families. After the payment of each
premium as it falls due they have a
pleasant sense of duty performed.
Well, then, to keep his factory
supplied with a large stock of the
tobaccos mostly utilized in his pro-
duct long ahead is the best of all
ways of insuring a manufacturer's
business. Not only is this wisdom
on the part of all manufacturers, but
it is precisely the plan which is
followed by the very big ones. They
buy for needs that are from fifteen
to eighteen months ofi", and their
smaller competitors who will follow
their example in this most import-
ant particular need not unduly fear
their competition.

The great corporations which are
now engaged in manufacturing ci-
gars will probably never abandon
that field. They are in the business
to stay. Those who manage their
affairs are generally broad minded,
shrewd and capable, but it is no dis-
paragement of them to say that they
are not the only broad-minded,
shrewd and capable men in the ci-
gar manufacturing business, for, as
the colloquial phrase of the day has
it, "there are others." A wise use
which the enlightened foresight of
great corporations makes of their
capital is in the acquiring and con-
tinuing to acquire large stocks of
suitable tobaccos, and in this mani-
festation of wisdom every other
manufacturer may and can emulate
them according to his means or his
credit. A large stock of serviceable
leaf is the best fortification against
every sort of competitor, and especi-
ally the unanticipated sort.

J. F. Cullman.

— John W . Gates says that tobacco
is not injurious. "I've used it since
I was seven years old," he declares.

is twenty feet back of the building
line on Twenty- third street. After
the store had been leased to the U.
C. S. Co., George J Whelan, the
presidentof that corporation, ordered
the construction of what is precisely
the most advantageously located
showcase in existence. It is of
steel and plate glass; it is filled with
samples of all kinds of cigars, cigar
ettes, smoking and chewing tobacco
and smokers' articles, the place of
honor, at they very apex on Twenty-
third street, being occupied just
now by an unusually fine Turkish
water pipe, or bubble bubble.

The interior decorations and fix-
tures of the store are all of the
solidly magnificent, or magnificently
solid order, just as you please. The
woodwork is of mahogany, the
show cases are all of plate glass —
tops, sides and shelves; the steel
girders that support the ceiling are
covered with gold leaf, and the floor
is marble. The store is in every
way worthy a visit, and particularly
by retail cigar dealers, whether
these be friends of the U C. S. Co.
or not, because whatever opinion
one may indulge of this company's
modes of business one will admit
that Mr. Whelan and his associates
know how to fit out attractive stores
A notable feature of the store is
the humidor toward the rear. This
is of mahogany and plate glass and
is filled with imported cigars. The
wall cases on three sides of the store
are stocked with cigars and other
tobacco merchandise, and on the
Fifth avenue side is a showcase
filled with fine pipes, cigar and ci-
garette holders and smokers' articles
of expensive material and make.

On Saturday morning, a few min-
utes before the store was opened,
a florist's man delivered a gorgeous
basket of flowers with the compli-
ments of Platzek & Strook, who
are the counsel of the U. C. S. Co.
R. T. Doming is the manager in
charge of the store in the Flatiron
building. His aids are Messrs.
Underwood, Petterman, Crabtree,
Keller, Rice, Shotwell, Silverstein
and Eichler. These are all experi-
enced cigar store men.

The store in the Flatiron building
Is not a cut rate store, although
certain goods are sold there at the
same prices as at other U. C. S. Co.
stores.

The annual rental of the Flatiron

store is said to be $25,000 and the
present lease does not expire until
December, 191 2.

Havana Factories Busy.

Independent Manufacturers Organ-
izing to Extend their Business.

Havana, December 6, 1902.
The Havana market during the
week ending December 6, has re-
sumed its normal condition and the
demand has been very keen for all
vegas of Vuelta Abajo and the few
scattering lots of Partido factory ;
vegas and fillers. Prices ruled stifi". i
As the strike is over some of the
Havana manufacturers have entered
the market again, and while the j
inquiry on their part is no longer \
urgent still it helps to create a
healthy competition for all wrap-
pery goods and fine, light, aromatic '
fillers. The total amount of bales
sold foots up 5.900, consisting of
3,350 bales Vuelta Abajo, 500 Par-
tido and 2,050 Remedios, the desti-
nation of which may be put down
as 5,100 bales for the United States
market, while only 800 bales were
credited to Havana cigar manufac-
turers.

The 1903 Crop.

Advices from the Vuelta Abajo
and Partido district, speak of dam-
age done by worms, of which the
"Cachazudo" is the most danger-
ous one, as so far no means are
known to denote its existence in
the ground and it enters the stem
of the young plant and feeding upon
its inner substance kills it off en-
tirely. The poor farmers only know
of the existence of this insect, when
the "mata" begins to droop, and
then the damage done is irreparable.
The ordinary "gusano" is a worm
that only attacks the leaves, and
while it is very voracious and would
also destroy the tobacco plant if
left alone, it can be killed by being
picked off by hand or it will die
if Paris green is sprinkled upon the
leaves. Really, if all the reports
that one hears are true all hope of
raising a crop might as well be
abandoned, but fortunately it is
known that as a rule such stories
are augmented tenfold, and there-
fore, while the 1903 crop will per-
haps be shorter even than the prev-
ious one, still it may yet turn out
better and larger than people im-
^agine. Of the few early f plantings
that were saved, principally in the
Partidos, cutting may be begun
from December 15, onward, and
Don Adolfo Moeller in La Guira,
as well as Don Luis Marx in Al-
quizar, who have planted exten-
sively under cheesecloth, say that
their plants are showing a magni
ficent growth and are healthy
throughout. The former has the
biggest crop ever raised under
cover, over 66 acres, or two cabal-
lerias, upon his farms "Hevia" and
"Iberia" (some 2,000,000 plants),

that other large planters will follow
the example set in 1904. Don
Adolfo Moeller has also i ,000,000
plants grown without covering, but
these are considerably more back-
ward and cannot be cut perhaps
before the end of December. The
prices for seedlings (owing to their
scarcity) still rule from $3 to $4 per
thousand, a prohibitive figure for
the smaller vegueros to commence
work upon in replanting their hold-
ings. Cano y Hno. expect to cut
their tobacco upon their farm "El
Brillante" on December 15, and
Don Cayetano Perez may also fol-
low suit in the latter half of Decem-
ber. In the Vuelta Abajo nothing
of any consequence may be done
before the middle of January at the

earliest.

E Regensburg & Sons purchased
over 1,400 bales of Vuelta Abajo
factory vegas and fillers in order to
secure the necessary raw material
for the wonderful progress this en-
terprising house is making in the
sale of their excellent clear Havana

bales of Remedios, thus summing
up about 1 ,500 bales of all kinds of
leaf secured by this firm.

S. Ruppin is still hard at work
looking for fine factory vegas, and
is believed to have found only 200
bales so far, as the supply being
scarce the hunting up of same is
extremely difl&cultat this late season
of the year.

Havana Cigar Manufacturers.

A meeting was held last Wednet-
d&y evening to devise some means
of extending the trade of the inde-
pendent cigar manufacturers, and
seventeen responded, while it is to
be hoped that by Monday next,
December 8, some sort of a plan
may be presented and accepted to
perfect this arrangement with the
consent of the remainder who num-
ber fully seventeen or more. The
object is not to form a trust, but
simply through a central depot in
the chief markets of the world to
enable the consumers to have an as-
sortment of the best cigars always
before their eyes, and then to let
the best man win. This plan looks
feasible enough, and ought to result
in mutual benefit to the manufac-
turers here and the smoking public
at large all over the world.

AMONG THE PHILADELPHIA TOBACCO MEN.

SUNDAY CLOSING CRUSADE. | pipes used by smokers in all parts of
To be Vigorously Continued Says Officer ! l- ncle Sam's domains,
of Sunday Closing Association.

The movement to compel retail confec-
tionery and cigar dealers to close on Sun-
day continues. December loth forty-two
dealers were arraigned in Magistrate
Soulh's court and thirty-five of the ac-
cused upon being found guilty of having
violated the "Blue Law" Sunday closing
law were fined each $4 and the costs,
$2, 50. The prosecutions are instituted by
George S. Vail, who is said to be the only
officer of the Sunday Closing Association.
He is paid, he says, by dealers who want
to keep their places closed, but who don't
want their competitors to take away their
trade. Churches contribute towards the
work, too. In referring to the closing
movement Mr. Vail said: "This crusade
is not a spasmodic effort, you'll find.
We've got money enough in our treasury
to keep up the work for two years, and
that's exactly what we're going to do. The
first Sunday of the crusade we got evidence
against sixteen storekeepers; the second
Sunday, twenty-five; last Sunday, forty-
two. We're going to keep on increasing
the number, and continue arresting law-
breakers until we have closed up the city's
6,000 cigar and candy shops — or come
preity close to it, "

ative of Thos. E. Fearon & Co. , of Ken-

WESTERN RETAILERS ORGAN-
^ IZING

G. W. Newman, of Young & Newman,
referring to his recent western tour, said:
"I was deeply impressed with the organ-
izing activity prevalent in most of the
western cities among the retailers. Most
of the cities are being effectually organ-
ized, and, from my point of view, it is a
good thing for the retailers to get together.
It can do them no harm and may result
in untold good. "

SUCCESS FOLLOWS KINDNESS.

The so-called labor question is easily
solved — and in the right way, too — by the
large cigar manufacturing firm of Otto
Eisenlohr & Brothers, makers of the
famous Cinco and other popular brands
of cigars. The Eisenlohrs have long been
credited with treating their many em-
ployes in just the way employes like to
be treated-and that is saying a great deal.
Deserving employes have been shown
kindness and consideration by the firm.
In addition to receiving the highest wages
paid in the trade, the employes have also
been made to feel that their interests are
of concern to their employers and as a re-
sult the best of feelings exist between em-
ployer and employe.

The wisdom of the policy is shown in
the superior class of cigars put upon the
market by the Eisenlohr factory.

said to have led Mr. Flohrshuetz to take
his life. The deceased was past the 50
year old mark of life, and was known
about Third and Quarry streets as the
"jolly old bachelor." Flohrshuetz pre-
pared for death methodically. He ar-
ranged in advance to have his remains
cremated, left a letter to a friend and a

covery of the suicide's body in a chair in

THE RETAILERS' ASSOCIATION.

Officers of the Retail Cigar Dealers'
Protective Association report that applica-
tions for membership continue to come in
from Philadelphia dealers and that by the
January meeting over 700 bona-fide mem-
bers will be enrolled. December is the
busiest month of the yeat in the cigar
trade and hence it was deemed inadvis-
able to call a meeting during that month
for the attendance would be sure to be
slim. January will not be so busy and
the meeting that month, it is predicted,
will be a rousing one,

THEY WILL MAKE MERRY.
Reports throughout the city prove that
the cigar manufacturers of Philadelphia,
as well as the jobbers, are unusually busy

in fact their business is the best that

they have had for years. .\s a result
they are correspondingly happy and can
look forward to a merry Christmas with
every prospect of having happy hearts and
full pocket-books. And better still, the
outlook for next year" s business is most
bright.

THE UNITED STORES,
The United Cigar Stores Company
have made preparations to open two
more stores at an early date. With the
two they have this will make lour. The
local manager is said to have found some
difficulty in finding and leasing what he
considers desirable locations.

WILL REPEAL THE BLUE L.\W.
Many of the retail cigar dealers of
Philadelphia who have been fined for
violating the Pennsylvania "Blue Law "
of the last century, providing for the
closing of stores upon the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday, are dis-
, gustedwith the aforesaid "Blue Law"
and want to see it wiped off the statute
i book. In fact there are so many retail
j merchants opposed to Sunday closing
! that they formed an Anti-Sunday Closing
I Association sometime ago and have since
1 held meetings in a hall at Thirtieth and
[ Diamond streets. The Antis are allied
' with the German Alliance, a similar or-
ganization, and thetwo bodies represent
a strength of between 40,000 and 50,000
members. For some time the two organi-
zations have been quietly working to
secure the repeal of the obnoxious Sun-
day closing law and have interested a
number of the members of the State
Legislature. Among them is Senator
William H. Berkelbach, and last Friday
he stated that he would reintroduce into
the next Legislature the bills which were
defeated in the last session to amend the
Sunday laws of 1794. to permit the sell-
ing of milk, ice and newspapers on Sun-
day,

The Late Henry Heymann.
Mr. Heymann had been in ap-
parent good health until December
7, when he had a slight attack of
what seemed to be indigestion. He
attended to business as usual on
Monday, Tuesday and ^Vednesday
of last week, and on Wednesday
evening was present at a reception
given by his son, Joseph C. Hey-
mann and the bride of the latter.
The following morning he went
down town to his office as usual,
and shortly afterward complained
of feeling ill. He went home in a
cab before noon, and the family
physician was summoned. The
physician's skill was of no avail,
however, and the patient sank
steadily until 10 o'clock, when he
breathed his last. It is now known
that Mr. Heymann died of a stroke
of paralysis of the heart.

Henry Heymann was born in
Burgebracht, Bavaria, about 54
years ago, and came to the United
States in early manhood. He was
a brother of the deceased wife of the
late Edward Rosen wald, of New
York. During his early career Mr.
Heymann lived in Buflfalo, where,
about twenty seven years ago, he
married Miss Fanny Brown, who
I survives him with four children
! born of the union, two sons and two
daughters. His sons, Joseph C.
and Gerson, were his associates in
the firm of T. J. Dunn & Co.
Henry Heymann was himself asso-

ciated with the firm of T. J. Dunn
& Co. since about 1885. Upon the
death of the late T. J. Dunn, in
1889, he became the sole proprietor
of the business, which under his
able management and through the
valuable assistance of his sons, has
been very successful.

Henry Heymann was a very
genial and highly honorable man,
and his loss will be keenly felt for
a long time by the cigar manufac-
turing industry of Philadelphia,
which he did much to develop.
His funeral, which took place on
Sunday, was very largely attended.
The interment was at Mount Sinai
cemetary.

At a special meeting of the Cigar
Manufacturers' Association of Phil-
adelphia, held at the office of Oum-
pert Bros., on December 13, 1902,
the following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:

Whereas, The unexpected death
of Mr. Henry Heymann, of the firm
of T. J. Dunn & Co., on December
1 1 , touches the hearts of the mem-
bers of the Cigar Manufacturers'
Association of Philadelphia with
deep regret; Therefore, be it

Resolved, Deeply impressed with
the characteristics of his unblem-
ished life, the Cigar Manufacturers'
Association of Philadelphia place
upon record their acknowledged
loss in the death of Mr. Henry Hey-
mann, an associate and frier d whose
social nature and untiring energy
and the great pride he took in all
matters pertaining to our industry,
they had learned, by personal ex-
perience, to earnestly admire.

Resolved, That we extend to the
bereaved family our sincere sym-
pathies, and attend the funeral, and
that these resolutions be published.

Tobacco Warehouse Burned

Janes ville. Wis., Dec. 14, 1902.

At 3 o'clock this morning fire

was discovered in the warehouse of

Joseph Grundy, which was burned

to the ground. It contained about

1,000 cases 1901, 300 cases 1900,

and about 100 cases '^9. Loss

about $30,000, with an insurance

of $5,000 on contents and $1,000
on building. The exact amount
is not known. Only heroic work
of the fireman saved the adjoining
warehouse of R G. Merrill. The
fire was undoubtedly of incendiary
origin. Havana.

Stole Secretary Hitchcock's
Cigars,

Four boxes of cigars intended for
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock,
were turned over to the Adams Ex-
press Company in New York on
December 9, to deliver to the Secre
tary at his home, 1601 K street,
Washington. Joseph Mayer, a boy
employed on one of the express
wagons, was holding the cigars
while he rode on the back of the
wagon. Near 20th street, on Fifth

Avenue, a man grabbed the pack-
age from him. Mayer got it back
and caused the arrest of the man,
who said he was Joseph McCafFery,
of 224 Forty second street.

Wax Your Own Cigarettes.

The cigarette smokers of France
prove themselves possessed of the
deftness so characteristic of all
French people in the way in which
they wax the end of their cigarettes
to prevent them from sticking to the
lips, especially in very cold weather.
Instead of buying the gold tipped,
cork tipped, or straw tipped article,
which is naturally more expensive
than the plain, they light a wax
match and smear the end of the
plain cigarette which is to go be
tween their lips with the paraffine of
the match. It is done in a twinkle,
itcosts absolutely nothing', and keeps
the end of the cigarette absolutely
free from moisture.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by tho Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus mainttioing a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Preparing for the Holiday
Trade.

Reading, Pa., Dec, 13, 1902.

The cigar factories here are very
busy on their holiday trade, which
will be the largest in some years.
Millions of cigars are given away as
Christmas gifts each year and many
of these are made here. For holi
days, many cigars are placed in
fancy packages or boxes, trimmed
■with ribbons, lithographs, etc., and
they are very artistic. One firm
puts up a great many cf its special
brands in glass jars, but the major-
ity use wood and pasteboard boxes.
Some of the smaller dealers are
complaining that business is dull,
t)ut this is not the case among the
majority of them.

Frank Ream has returned from a
business trip through Illinois with
several large orders for his Trades
United and Eight- Hour brands.
He reports business brisk.

The factory of M. Steppacher is
making considerable overtime in
order to get out numerous orders.
Mr. Steppacher operates the largest
tinion factory in Reading, and makes
large shipments daily to all parts of
the United States.

H. H. Wentzel. cigar manufac-
turer, who recently moved his fac-
tory from 270 South Ninth to 332
South Eighth street, started up his
factory last week. He put a large
force of cigarmakers at work and
-will double the force as soon as

business warrants it.
i John G Spatz, of J G Spatz &
' Co , is home from a week's success-
ful wes-tern business trip. He
booked a number of large orders for
the firm's leading brands, and re
ports the trade outlook in the west
as being very good.

A farewell reception was tendered
to Nathan G. Rosenberg, who has
been a resident of this city the past
ten years. For three years he was
a member of the cigar manufactur-
ing company of Miller & Rosenberg.
He left to spend a week with rela-
tives and friends in Philadelphia
and New York, and sailed from the
latter port last Saturday for Cape
Town, Africa. He will engage in
the cattle business at Colesburg,
with his brothers, Morris and Frank
Rosenberg, who have been in that
country the past six years.

GraefiF Bros., who are building
the six sto'-y annex for Yocum
Bros, have the building under roof.
The owners count on moving into
the addition during the holiday
week, when they usually close
down to take the annual inventory
required under the internal revenue
regulations. With the completion
of the annex the firm will be in a
position to seat many additional ci-
garmakers and other hands.

Edward Ganter has been busy
for some months and says his out-
put is larger than at any previous
time. He is manufacturing a big'

Wrapper Cutter and Vacuum Table

This is the only single roller
wrapper cutter that positively
will not streak or mark wrap-
pers. It is also the only self-
sharpening machine that has
ever been offered.

The sliding top used in con-
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its con-
struction for any kind of work.

The simplicity of construction
makes it the most easily oper-
ated and lightest running ma-
chine on the market.

It can be readily adjusted by

any one, and operatives can be
taught its use very quickly

Twin machines are placed on
one stand ; tubing and attachments
all complete.

The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, Virginia and Louisiana,
is evidence of the superiority of the
Daisy Wrapper Cutter and
Vacuum Table.
This is the Wost Durable, Best

most eminent physicians. He re
turned home well, but several weeks
ago was again compelled to take to
his bed. His Philadelphia physic-
ians were summoned, and are doing
everything possible to save his life.
His illness is of a serious nature and
for several days his life was de-
spaired of. At this writing his con-
dition is still critical.

Badger State Tobacco News.

Janesville, Wis. , Dec. 13, 1902.
A few buyers are riding the growing
sections in quest of the crops unsold in
the hands of the farmers, but few pur-
chases are made, as the askinj; prices are
generally higher than the buyers care to
pay. Alany of the crops unsold are of
the poorer grades, but the prices asked
for them is as great as the better grades
sold for weeks ago.

There has been some business done in
old goods this week. S. B. Heddlessold
177 cases of 1900 and 1901, and V. S.
Haines purchased 67 cases 1901. A
goodly number of small lots were also
sold to manufacturers. M. T\. Bekke- 1
dahl has sold something over 5,000 cases
of 1901, in three lots, one going to the
Cigar Manufacturers Co., one to A. Cohn
& Co. , and one to Reickert & La Boule
of Milwaukee,

As the first of the year approaches, the
farmers and packers are equally anxious
for casing weather that they may get to
work on the new crop. It nearly cased
up this week, and needs but a short spell
of damp weather to bring the hanging
tobacco into good case.

Frank S. Baines sent a large bundle of
his shade-grown Sumatra to \V. W. Cobey,
the government expert on shade tobacco
at Suffield, Conn., and received a letter
in return of which the following is an
j extract:

I "I was certainly pleased with the way
I in whi( h your tobacco compared with the
Connecticut shade-grown tobacco in the
green state. It is more elastic than much
of the tobacco here, and I can see no
reason why it will not look as fine after it
is sweat. I showed it to a large grower and
dealer here, without telling him where it
came from, and he pronounced it a good
sample of a shade-grown tobacco."

F. S. Baines has closed the season on
strips, and has made and packed over

400 sacks of these goods. He packs
them in gunny sacks about thirty inches
in diameter and six feet long. They hold
an average of 275 pounds per sack.

The strike among the cigarmakers at
Havana is making itself felt at this point
of the globe. Jobbers are unable to fill
some of their orders on that account, and
from all reports the shortage on imported
cigars is likely to continue for some time.
Some dissatisfaction is noticed among
local retailers on account of the fact that
the tobacco departments of some of the
department stores in this city are selling
goods at cut-rate prices. This is some-
thing that has been growing, and it may
increase so as to materially affect retail-
ers who depend on fair prices for success.
As yet the actual result of this inroad on
the business is too slight to be serious.

THE LATE SIGMUND JACOBY.

B.EMINISCENSES OF ONE OF THE PIONEER CIGAR MANUFACTURERS

OF NEW YORK CITY.

Mr. Sigmund Jacoby,

Reviewing, in 1889, the events of
lis long career, the late Sigmund
Jacoby, whose death was announced
in The Tobacco World last week,
said to the present writer :

"In 1852 there was not a single
large manufacturer of cigars in New
York. All the cigars that were
made were manufactured by about
a dozen small manufacturers. M.
H. Levin had started in business
shortly before, employing about
fifteen hands; his factory was at the
corner of Front and Beekman
streets. A man named Haas, who
Is still living, I believe, was my
first employer in this country. Be-
fore coming to the United States I
had been working in Berlin, Ger
many, for a manufacturer named
Brunzlow. Mr. Haas used for
wrappers a leaf grown at Amers-
forter, Holland; the fillers were
Cuba and Yara, very little Havana
being used at that time. The num-
ber of cigars made in New York
then was quite inconsiderable, the
total number of men employed be-
ing only between 300 and 500. The
majority of the cigars in the market
-were imported from Germany. They

' were fearful, both to behold and to
use. They were four and three-
quarter inches long, very black and
uncouth in appearance. Their taste
was bitterness itself. They sold in
New York at from $3.50 to $g per
thousand.

"Towards the close of the year
1852, two Baltimoreans began mak-
ing a better cigar than the German
importation. These were Thomas
J. Little and a man named Thomas.
Connecticut grew a good tobacco in
those years, and the Baltimoreans
were the first to use it in cigars. Mr.
Little had a strike in his factory in
Baltimore as long ago as 1853 He
sent to Germany, chartered a barge
at Bremen and brought over about
eighty cigarmakers. There was no
law then, you know, to prohibit
contracting for foreign labor. The
new comers were interviewed by the
strikers, and the majority of them
were taken away and sent to other
places by the strikers. I don't
think Mr. Little got much of his
passage money back. Mr. Little
found a ready market for his Amer-
ican cigars at about ^35 per i ,000,
on which his profit was between $8
and $10.

"In 1853, I went to Connecticut
to prosecute my trade as a cigar
maker. I settled first at old Suflfield .
working for Sam A^ustin, Austin
was a unique character. He was a
typical Yankee of the old school.
He wore a high hat, a blue frock
coat with immense brass buttons,
and his six feet of masculinity were
crowned by a head of the reddest
hair imaginable. Spencer and
three or four members of the num
erous Loomis family were also en-
gaged in cigar manufacturing in old
SuflBeld. From that place I went
to West Suffield where I worked
for another member of the Loomis
family.

•'In 1855, I went to Feeding
Hills, Mass., where I worked for a
firm named Smith & Palmer. This
firm employed about one hundred
hands, most of whom settled there,
and some of whom are living there
yet. Of these are Herman Hook,
William Buschman and Mr. Wede-
meyer, all of whom started in life as
cigarmakers. They are now in the
tobacco business, and are very well
known and highly respected citizens
of the Bay State.

'•After I had been located in
Feeding Hills for some time, the
great business in cigars intended for
the California market got its boom.
All the factories grew larger and
were crowded with orders. Work-
men were paid as high as $10 a
thousand for cigars, but they were
required to make every part of each
cigar themselves. I remember well
that all cigars for California had to
look handsome ; a glossy wrapper,
the glossier the better, was indis-
pensable. The shape was a five
inch regalia. The factories at
Feeding Hills and in Connecticut
could not supply the demand, and
then there sprang up in New York
a dozen or more factories, all of
them competing for the California
trade.

"Among the manufacturers of
that epoch there are two whom I
remember with particular pleasure.
One was the Marquis de Sharkey,
and the other was Mr. Gassert.
The Marquis was not a Frenchman,
but a bona fide everyday American.
I don't know where he got his
name, but it was the only one by
which he was known. The Marquis
dressed extravagantly, even gorge-
ously. He was a thorough paced
sport of the period. He was a good
business man and made plenty of
money, whichhespent right royally,
as befitted a Marquis.

"Indeed, everybody made money,
and lots of it, at that time, from the
proprietor down to the newest hand.
There wasn't the slightest trouble
to get a job, all a man had to do
was to walk into a factory and take
a seat at the bench. He didn't

have to ask anybody's leaye. Thiji
pleasant state of things continued
until the political excitement of the
year ib6i. California had ceased
to be the exclusive market; there
was a good and steadily growing
demand from the West and South.
Nobody knew what was going t<>
happen, and the closing of the
factories is the best instance in his-
tory of the effect on the tastes and
appetites of a whole people of un-
certainty and dread of the immediate
future.

"It is worth mentioning that dur-
ing the years immediately preceding
the war a great many large grocery
houses in New York were manu-
facturing cigars in the top lofts of
the buildings occupied by them.

"At the outbreak of the war fully
two- thirds of the cigarmakers in
New York, Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts enlisted. Six months after
hostilities began, the demand for
cigars in factories here renewed it-
self. To supply the enormous de-
mand there came an inundation of
cigars manufactured in Pennsyl-
vania. The thrifty farmers of that
State employed their leisure in the
winter very profitably indeed in the
manufacture of cigars. In the
spring they packed their cigars in
shoe boxes and sent them to New-
York. Or they were bought up by
dealers traveling through Pennsyl-
vania.

"When the report that the Gov-
ernment at Washington was about
to impose an internal revenue tax
on cigars began to be circulated,
the speculator sprang into the arena*
A large banking house in Wash-
ington was the first to get a hint of
the Government's intentions, and
they sent out dozens of buyers all
through Pennsylvania to buy up all
the cigars they could discover.
The buyers succeeded in getting
together an immense stock, which
was then stored in warehouses in
this city waiting for the tax to be
put on, when the profits would
commence to roll in. Well, the
internal revenue tax having been
imposed, these cigars were packed
in boxes and held to await the rise
in prices. But in the meantime so
many factories had sprung up that^
the market being glutted, the specu-
lation was but a poor one after all.
Some of the goods lay in the ware-
houses for years before they were
finally sold.

"The year 1863 is memorable in
the cigar industry for two reasons.
First, the introduction of molds^
and second, the immigration of ci-
garmakers from Bohemia. These
people were steady, industrious
workers, a welcome contrast to
many of the harum scarum fellows
with whom the trade had previously
been made acquainted.

"I was the largest manufacturer
in the city in 1862 and 1863, though
there were a number of other fac-
tories besides my own, employing
from 100 to 300 hands. The Bo-
hemian cigarmakers worked steadily
and earned large wages. The de-
mand for New York made cigars
•came from all over the United States
at this period. Manufacturers
turned in their whole output to job-
bers, employed no drummers, were
required to do but little, if any, ad-
vertising, and were always sure of
getting their money. My output
in 1862 was about 50,000 cigars a
^eek. M. H. Levin in the bloom
of his business would turn out be-
tween 80,000 and 90,000 a week,
but that was after 1862, and lasted
but a short time. Prices during the
war ranged from $35 to $80 a thou-
sand, and profits were large.

"Throughout the war there was
an enormous demand for cheap ci-
gars for the army. These cigars,
were made in garrets or anywhere,
and it was quite impossible to sup-
ply the demand.

"In 1864, my factory was No. i
of the First District. From the
corner of Maiden Lane and Pearl
street I removed first to Chatham
Square, now occupied by a large
retail clothing house, and in 1882
I located at the corner of Fifty-
second street, overlooking the East
River.

"I introduced the first colored

label used on a New York made
cigar. The design and printing
were done by Heppenheimer. The
brand was the El Baco, and this
vtry same cigar isstill in the market.
I was also the first New York man-
ufacturer to make a cigar with a
Pennsylvania wrapper and Havana
filler. That was after the war.

"During the first years that the
internal revenue tax prevailed, ci-
gar manufacturers had some very
unpleasant times. The law was
very strict and we were practically

at the mercy of the revenue agents,
not all of whom were immaculate.
These men had absolute authority
to examine our books and our es-
tablishments, and some of them
used their power very tyrannously.
This was particularly the case in
1865.

In 1868 began the demand for a
light colored cigai. Previously
smokers had been content with
dark goods, but now they wouldn't
be satisfied with anything that
wasn't light. Some manufacturers,
in order to meet that demand, re-
sorted to chemicals to bleach the
tobacco, but chemistry was aband-
oned in a little while, for the reason
that the popular taste veered round
one." more to dark goods.

"In 1876, I was the only New
York cigar manufacturer exhibiting
at the Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia. My exhibit was in
the shape of a house, made entirely
of tobacco, cigars and cigarettes of
my own manufacture. One portion
of my exhibit I particularly recall:
It was in the shape of a number of
cigars made of Havana and Manila
tobacco. The Manila crop of 1873
had been particularly fine, better
than it ever was before or since.
The exhibit was a great attraction
to the sightseers at the Exposition . ' '

YORK, PMNNA.

Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 13, 1902.
There is no apparent abatement
in the demand for the 1902 crop,
quite a number of buyers being yet
in the field looking for what remains
unsold.

The American Cigar Co. , whoonly
recently came into this field, have a
corps of buyers hustling to buy up
what is left in the farmers' hands at
pretty stifi" prices. The following
are some of their purchases in York
county: Levi Smeyser, 7 acres seed
leaf, 8}4 and 2c; Charles Mohr, 3
acres seedleaf, 8 and 2c; Frank Eby,
a acres seedleaf, 8}4 and 2c; Henry
Miller, 3 acres seedleaf, 8 and 2c;
Edward Mohr, 3 a'^res seedleaf, 8
and 2c; Henry Reinerberger, 3
acres seedleaf, 8 and 2c.

John D. Skiles bought the 14
acre crop grown on Senator Quay's
farm at Mountville at 10c through.
From present indications very little
of the crop will remain unbougbt
by the time the new year comes
along, except the hail-cut, of which
there are between 4,000 and 5,000
cases.

The weather has been favorable
for stripping, and tobacco farmers
are taking advantage of it to get
their tobacco ready for market. The
crop will be delivered early this

season, fully two months ahead of j^g^ York
the time it is usually delivered.
One of our heaviest buyers has

already received eight or ten crops,

purchased early in the season, and

upon examination, found that the

tobacco is not up to expectations

They were loud in expressing their

disappointment, and are in hopes

that the remainder of their purchases

will show a decided improvement
No activity has been shown in

the market for old goods, and none

is looked for until after the new
year.

The cigar trade continues to be
prosperous. All the large factories
would put more men to work if they
could get them. The output of ci-
gars in the district for November
was unprecedently large, being over
71,000,000.

Owing to a difference between
employer and employe, there have
been a short series of strikes at the
American Cigar Company's plant,
on West Lemon street, near Prince.
On Monday quite a number of the
young women strippers quit work,
and to day an even larger number
of boys went out on strike. From
the story of the strikers, it appears
that they are opposed to the methods
pursued by the manager of the
stripping department. In the ab-
sence of a man in a position to state
the company's situation in the mat-
ter, those in charge of the factory
refused to make a statement.

Louis Kramer, of the firm of
Kramer & Goldberg, is at present
in Wisconsin, where he is making
some heavy purchases of choice
goods grown in that State.

The cigar factory of H. S. Im-
mel, at Mountville, was entered by
robbers, who were after the finest
tobacco a factory will afford. They
secured about 75 pounds light Su-
matra, valued at $150.

The following visitors were in
town during the week: H. S.
Myers, of Young & Newman. Phil-

NO ROOM
FOR DOUBT

It is seldom that a new article can be placed
on the market in regard to which there is no
room for doubt as to its value, importance and
efficiency.

The DuBrul Dieless Suction Table is an
exception— a notable and distinguished exception.

Here is a table which speaks for itself.

To see it in operation answers every point
that can be raised against it, and silences the
most prejudiced critic.

The suction table has
always been open to seri-
ous objections.

Dies and rollers are
responsible for these dis-
advantages. The dies, rol-
lers, rolling arms, pivots,
screws, collars, platens,
and other mechanism re-
quire constant attention to
keep them in condition to
do the work ; the rollers
passing over the dies con-
stantly mash them down ;
the rollers themselves
require re-polishing and
oiling and careful, frequent
adjustment to the wear of
the die. All this make-
shift mechanism requires
frequent attention, re-adjustment and repair. The
die is in the way of the operator. In spite of the
best attention dies always become dull and leave
a white streak on the edge of a dark wrapper,
marring the appearance of the cigar — the ends get
mashed by the rollers and this compels the
operator to tear the wrappers at these points and
often destroy them in the attempt.

We have been trying to overcome these

objections for a long time and we have succeeded.
We have wiped them out completely and have
in their place a table which is really a wonder.
There are no dies and no rollers.
The cutting is done by a circular knife which
is easy to keep sharp and needs absolutely no ad-
justment. The cuiting mechanism swings out of
the way after the wrapper is cut, and the rolling
plate is open and free so that the operator is not

In the least hampered by
any complications. It is
nauiral to do palm work
instead of linger work, and
you get a hand-made cigar
that cannot be surpassed
in any way. You get a
larger output, you have a
table which anybody can
learn to roll upon in a very
short time, and the Du-
Brul Table is so simple in
operation that it never gets
out of perfect order, and
operators will not raise the
slightest objection to it. as
they have always done
to other suction tables, so
that thev will never work
any other kind if they can
get work on this,
to hear from you about

We would like
this table.

We would like to tell you more about it, and
we would be glad to do so if you would take the
trouble to ask us.

We still make our Die Table, admitted the
best of that kind; we show it alongside of the
Dieless Table at both of our offices.

side figures, while the prices paid
for the 1901 show but little variation
over former quotations:

In old goods a trifle better feeling
pervades the market and packers are
disposing of more liberal sized
orders. Even the 1901 packings,
which have been dragging for some
time, are beginning to move. The
most important transaction of late is
the reported sale of M. H . Bekkedal's
large holding of 1901, the Soldiers
Grove packing going to the United
Cigar Manufacturers, the Boscobel
packing to A. Cohn & Co. and the
Viroqua packing to Reickert & La-
Boule, of Milwaukee. More than
5,000 cases were embraced in the
deal.

Warehouse handling of the new
crop throughout the state is prac-
tically held up awaiting casing
weather. A few hours of warm,
moist weather would be sufficient to
permit the hanging crop to be re-
moved from the poles and stripping
would commence. The amount
now ready for delivery is not suffi-
cient to warrant the starting up of
the warehouses.

The season has been favorable for

the past month for handling the

new crop, and it is being delivered

freely at prices ranging from 5 to

find few crops suitable for better

whole it compares poorly in quality

to the 1901 crop, and quantity in

The sales on the floors of the
loose tobacco warehouses have been
large, the weather being favorable,
and planters rushing in to secure
funds for their close of the year set-
tlements and prices satisfactory.

The stemming position is a pecu-
liar one. The enormous stocks of
Strips in Great Britain and the poor
character for Strips of the 1902 crop

deters stemmers from making Strips
for the sale markets. Two foreign
houses are stemming for use their
own factories, but the regular Ship-
pers are not drawing a stem. Thus
there will be virtually no exports
until another crop is made and ship-
ped in the summer of 1904. Fort-
unately concurrent with these con-
ditions, the stocks of dark tobacco
are reduced to a minimum, lighter
than for 25 years, and the crops of
the stemming districts can be
handled in leaf form for shipment
to the Continent, Africa, West India
Islands and other outlets, and at
close of the season there will be no
surplus left over.

TOBACCO FERTILIZERS.

Their Importance in Affecting Soils and
Plants — Successful Requirements, Etc.

Through the kindness of The American Fertilirer,
1336 Cherry street, Philadelphia, The Tobacco World re-
produces the two accompanying half tones, illustrating
the growths of the crops of tobacco at the Government
Experimental Station in Connecticut. The illustrations
show the beneficial results of using proper fertilizers.
Referring to the growths of tobacco, etc., the American
Fertilizer says:

"There are many difficulties met in growing tobacco.
The soil must be in just the proper condition; the plant
must be protected against the voracious worm; the weather
must not be too wet or dry, and the crop must be cut at
the proper time and cured carefully, so as to preserve the
color of the leaf and its quality. If there is an error
made in the use of fertilizers, the quality will be impaired,
not only in burning when used, but also in the flavor
No crop is grown that excels it in the care required, from
the seed to the time it is marketed, and no crop gives a
larger profit when the tobacco yield is large and the qual-
ity is first class. ^ »i. t . t_ , /•

. O" ^he market, but the forms mentioned above (double carbonate) are

Experiments for the purpose of learning which fertilizers are most superior. Encouragement may be given the experiments from the fact

bulletins on the subject, and has recently issued another, which is sent good results in Pennsylvania."

made by the station and it indicates that artificial fertilizers into which

Not only does tobacco require potash and nitrogen, but those sub- | ^lenefits of becoming part of our economic system. It is, from our own
stances must be in certain forms. The double carbonate of potash and standpoint, a short sighted and mischievous policy to fail to recognize
magnesia, a "potash salt' which is on the market, gave much better this need. Moreover, it is unworthy of a mighty and generous nation,

ways fearlessly insist upon our rights in the face of the
strong, and we should with ungrudging hand do our gen-
erous duty by the weak I urge the adoption of recip-
rocity with Cuba, not only because it is eminently for o«r
own interest to control the Cuban market and by every
means to foster our supremacy in the tropical lands and
waters south of us, but also because we, of the giant re-
public of the north, should make all our sister nations of
the American continent feel that whenever they will per-
mit it we desire to show ourselves disinterestedly and
effectively their friend

A convention with Great Britain has been concluded,
which will be at once laid before the Senate for ratifica-
tion, providing for reciprocal trade arrangements between
the United States and Newfoundland on substantially the
lines of the convention formerly negotiated by the Secre-
tary of State, Mr Blaine I believe reciprocal trade re-
lations will be greatly to the advantage of both countries. ' '

UNION MADE CIGARS IN NBW YORK,

By M. Prochaska, of the M. Procbaska Co.

I think the time is not far distant when
union made cigars will be as greatly in
demnnd in New York city as they now
are in certain towns in New England
and on the Pacific Coast.

I have been concerned with the manu-
facture of cigars in New York city now
just forty years, and for thirty-two years
have been an employer of labor. The
development of the cigar manufacturing
industry of the I'nited States is, conse-
qnently, a subject with which I am fa-
mihar.

Unions of cigarmakers have existed
from the very beginning, as every reader
of The Tobacco World will recall who
read the very interesting review of the
career of the late Sigmund Jacoby which
was published in The Tobacco World
two weeks ago. Union made cigars are,

as a five-cent cigar, properly so railed,
an article which goes to the consumer at
seven, or eight, or nine, or ten for twen-
ty-five cents. The cigar smoking public
is not only a discriminating public, it is
a thoroughly sophisticated public. It
not only knows good cigars when it tries
them, but it understands that it is out of
its own pockets that the great cost of ad-
vertising so-called nickel cigars which it
can buy at from two to three cents apiece
comes, and is very apt to conclude that
the cjuality and workmanship of such ci-
gars, particularly the workmanship, are
not equal to the quality and workman-
ship of non-advertised cigars which are
sold at no more than si.\ for a c[uarter.
The bargain-hunter is always abroad, but
I have yet to learn that the bargain
counter is considered a valuable asset by

therefore, no novelty in New York city, the man who conducts it, except as a

medium for attracting trade to those

departments of his business which yield
a legitimate profit. Retail tobacconists
who confine themselves strictly to the
buying and selling of tobacco products
have no attractions for the bargain-
hunters, and few of them even indulge
themselves or their customers in special
"drives." Owini,^ to the high duties on
imported wrapper tobacco and to the high
average cost of cigar leaf generally, there
is little enough profit in cigars for the re-
tailer, anyhow, and union made cigars
being more costly to the manufacturer
than non-union ones, yield to the re-
tailer who handles them a still smaller

and the blue label of the union is well
known to the smoking public. To make
it still better known is, I understand, the
determination of the officers of the union,
who have at their disposal a large fund
for advertising and other educational
work. That which the cigar smokers of
New York city will be given most clearly
to understand is that the union made
cigar is a better grade of merchandise
than the non-union article, because made
by more capable operatives, under better
conditions and out of better selections of
stock. It is true that in most cases the
non-union cigar is cheaper than the
union cigar, but it must not be forgotten
that cigar smokers are forever refining j profit.

TRUE TOBACCO ROMANCES.
The Insomnia ot Madame R

.\ remarkable f.ict at the inscriptions
in Amsterdam last summer was the very
high price bi ought by 3,817 bales of
Borneo tobacco — the Darvel Lahad Datu
mark. This tobacco, grown at Darvel in
British North Borneo, was bought by the
big house of M. K. Rosenfeld, of Am-
sterdam, at an average price of 174 cents
Dutch, which was just 36 cents higher
than the highest average price brought
by the finest of the Deli Sumatras. The
Rosenfe'd firm sold this high priced Bor-
neo tobacco at what has been reported to
be a very large profit to the big cigar -Madame R
manufacturing firm of Loeser .^ Wolff, , doubtedly the
of Berlin.

So much for an incident which attract-
ed a great deal of attention in the tobacco
markets of iCurope last summer.

Considering that tobacco planters in
British North Borneo are compelled to
grow their tobacco behind stockades and
with rifles constantly in their hands, their
success in producing such very fine leaf
as the Darvel Lahad Datu of 1901 was
little short of a miracle. The stockades
and rifles are indispensable because of the
undying savagery and hostility of the
nati\ e head hunters. The head hunters
of Borneo are the most blood-thirsty of
mortals, fearless, ingenious and untiring j

armed escort. He explained to her that
this was necessary because immediately
beyond the plantation stockade were all
sorts of wild beasts and savage human
prowlers.

Madame R accepted these condi-
tions, and under the protection of her
husband and his armed aids and servants
felt quite secure until one morning the
headless body of the plantation book-
keeper was found on the verandah of her
home. The shock almost unseated
"s reason, and was un-
cause of the insomnia
which at length induced her husband to
give up his job. The poor woman saw
head hunters not only during the still
watches of the night, but during her
waking hours as well. They seemed to
be forever girding at her with their hid-
eous weapons, and in her eyes there was
a constant look of horror which wrung
her husband's heart. He "jollied " her
in his hearty Dutch way, he reasoned
with her, he got her all sorts of sleeping
potions, but it was all in vain. She put
her head upon his shoulder during the
"jollying" process, shook her curls over
his arguments, and said of the sleeping
potions the only thing they did was to

DECEMBER 31, iqo2.

Smugglers Pay $1 per Kilo,

Customs Inspectors on December
21 unearthed 1,200 pounds of Su-
matra tobacco in the coal bunkers
of the Phenix Line steamer St.
George, plying between Antwerp
and New York, as bhe lay at her
dock at Sixth street, Hoboken.
There were but three of the in-
spectors engaged in the work of dig-
ging out the tobacco, and they de-
sisted before their task was com-
pleted because of threats made by
the crew to throw them overboard.
They returned to the task the next
day, however, and unearthed 160
pounds more.

Ever since the St. George got in
at least two of the inspectors were
watching the vessel. They saw
nothing suspicious until about 10
o'clock on the night of December
20, when a rowboat with two men
in it stopped alongside of the ship.

The inspectors boarded the St.
George and the men in the rowboat
moved away into the darkness. The
inspectors beganasearchof the boat,
and sticking out of a coal bunker
aft they found a bag of tobacco.
By removing some of the coal they
found another bag.

Then the three customs men got
picks and shovels and began dig-
ging into the coal. Before they had
got down two feet they had removed
600 pounds of Sumatra. Under
another layer of coal, about five feet
thick, were 400 pounds of tobacco.
A few feet below that, the inspectors
got 200 pounds.

The entire crew, thirty five in
number, stood around the miners,
and as bag after bag of tobacco was
pulled out there were grunts of dis-

gust, which soon turned to open
expressions of disapproval . Finally,
a six foot seaman, who seemed to
be the ring-leader, made a proposi-
tion that was applauded by his
mates.

"There's only three of 'em," he
said, "and suppose we throw *em
overboard and make food for the
fishes?"

The inspectors were pretty tired,
having removed several tons of coal ,
and, besides, they didn't care to
risk a fight with thirty-five hardy
seamen. So they decided to stop
operations for the night and take
the tobacco ashore.

All the daily newspapers which
reported the seizure on the Phenix
ascribe to the customs inspectors
the statement that the seized tobacco
is worth "a little" over $4 a pound,
which is not creditable to the good
faith of the inspectors, who know
the market value of tobacco to a
nicety, nor to the intelligence of the
newspaper. One very large im-
porter of Sumatra is so indignant
over the publication of these absurd
valuations that he threatens to stop
reading Sumatra smuggling stories
in the daily newspapers altogether.

It is stated by those who profess
to know that the stokers and sailor-
men who bring in the smuggled
Sumatra get $1 for every kilo of the
stuflf which they succeed in deliver-
ing to "the right party ' in New
York.

"HORSE SHOE" JAKE IN NEW YORK.

Oh, and it's "Horse Shoe" Jake has come

out of the West,
In all that broad region his plug sells the

best;
"Horse Shoe" Jake says it does, and he

ought to know.
And that's why we'll let that there last

statement go.

On a plug Jake rides far.
As did young Lochinvar.

And what is it that brings "Horse Shoe"

Jake to the East?
His appetite, friends. He cometh to

feast.
And oh, if you doubt he's a trencherman

able,
You just ought to see what he does when

at table.

On a plug he lives long.
Like the knight in the song.

The best-natured chap in the world is this

Jake;
Otherwise, be quite sure, I'd no liberties

take
With his name, or his fame, or the brand

that he sells
To the folks out in Denver, where "Horse
Shoe" Jake dwells.

May he always find friends,

both at home and afar,
For the plug that he rides,
just like young Lochinvar

1903.

Greetings, dear friends. Let noth-
ing you dismay. And a special
greeting to that very numerous and
amiable class among you who come
most directly into relation with the
consumer. Of course, I mean the
retail tobacconists of the United
States. May 1 903 bring to you, and
to each of you, a large increase of
happiness and a satisfactory busi
ness. It is precisely because you
are so numeious — and commonly so
goodnatured — that you get from the
public not only the material sup-
port that is indispensable but, as
well, a full measure of its sympathy
in your struggles. The public which
buys of you by the single cigar, or
by threes, or sixes, or even by the
box, is not unmindful of the diffi
culties with which you who cater
to it with such painstaking care ap
pear to be at present beset. It reads
in its daily newspapers the reports
of your meetings, and sometimes
acts in a way that is perhaps dis
appointing to you. But you would
be unjust to the public if you were
to infer from this fact that its heart
is not in the right place*, because
the heart of the public is always in
the right place, even if it does oc-
casionally beat with a feverish beat.
The public has eyes, and you must
not blame the public if it is attracted
by beautiful show windows or ornate
interiors into shops that are con-
ducted by great corporations in di-
rect competition with your more
unpretentious premises. But, and
this is the meat of the whole matter,
if you suffer any competitor, whom-
soever he or it may be, to sell a
better cigar than that which you
proffer over your counters it is your

-'C%

own fault. What the public is al-
ways looking for in cigar stores is
good merchandise, and really good
cigars are never hard to get. In
the past, it is regretfully true, not
every cigar store has kept good ci-
gars in stock or has sold them to
the man willing to buy them In
other words, the public has some
times been faked in the past It
has gotten, in the instances to which
I refer, not what it asked for or
what it supposed it was getting from
the label or the stamp on the box,
but something else — something
vastly inferior — upon which the dis
honest shop keeper realized a larger
profit than would have come to him
from the sale of the article de-
manded. Thanks to the publicity
given to the case of a notorious box-
stuffer in New York, this species
of deception is no longer as easy as
it used to be, for the public is on its
guard. Every retail tobacconist in
the United States should take care,
for his own honor and welfare, that
no suspicion shall rest upon him or
his merchandise. Give the public
good cigars, and leave the rest to
that providence to which the coin
you throw into your tills commits
you.

Work. Make your store as fresh-
looking and attractive as yon possi-
bly can. That is what your com-
petitors are doing, and it is up to
you to meet them on this ground.

Work; keep on working, and
keep a cheertul face. Hustle, and
you'll find the big public with you.
"Beef," and you "beef" alone.

Tommyong (Taniiaug)

St. Louis, December 27, 1902
Dear Medicine Man.

Every onceina-while there ap-
pears in the Globe Democrat or
some other daily a story about the
age-long war between the Dutch
overlords of the east coast of Su-
matra and their savage neighbors
to the north, the Achinese, and now
comes a Sumatra salesman out of
New York offering to sell us Su-
matra tobacco grown in Achinese
territory. It is very cheap, but it
won't burn, and so he has trouble
to find purchasers The name of
this Achinese Sumatra tobacco is
Tamiang, but the New York man
pronounces it Tommyong. Is it
true that this tobacco is grown in
Achinese territory?

If it is not taxing you too much,
please explain for our information
the system of land grants and the
methods of preparing plantations
for tobacco culture in Sumatra.

J. B.C.

Answer.

The Tamiang tobacco, which is
very properly pronounced Tommy-
ong, is actually grown in Achinese
territory, but the plantations there
are neutral ground. The venture,
which was undertaken less than two
years ago, has not been a gratifying

success, chiefly because the "burn"
is poor.
On the east coast of Sumatra the

tobacco estates consist of grants of
land taken out by individuals or
companies, and are as a rule of such
an extent that every year a new
district can be cleared and used for
the coming crop. The term is for
75 years, and for such a grant a
sum of money, by way of premium,
amounting to from $1 to $2 per
bouw (equal to an acre and two-
thirds) is paid in cash, while an an-
nual rent of 40c a bouw, payable at
the expiration of the fifth year, is
also reserved. Such at least are
the terms of the last recognized
agreements. The whole of the con-
veniently situated land on the east
coast of the island has now been
taken up, and it is only in the
outlying regions that fresh ground
can be obtained; but as in such out-
lying regions settled government is
not so well established, the Dutch
authorities are now very chary in
confirming grants in places where
the tobacco growing community
would be less under control.

The forests when cleared for the
tobacco plantations afford splendid
timber, and this is utilized for con-
structing drying sheds and coolies'
quarties, but a good deal of the
wood which might be exported for
building or fuel is wasted for want
of conveyance and burnt on the
ground. As a compensation there
can be no doubt that this burnt
timber or rather the ashes of it,
supply an excellent manure.

The labor employed may be dis
tributed under three classes. There
are, firstly, Malays and Batak tribes-
men, who fell heavy timber, do gen-
eral clearance, and build sheds;
then come the Klings from the
Madras districts, who occupy them-
selves with drainage and road mak
ing; and lastly, we have the Chinese
for planting, sorting, and prepara-
tion of the weed. The planting is
conducted on a co operative system.
Coolies have their fields allotted to
them, and plant at their own risk
under supervision . Their payment
depends on the yield. Reckoning
from the estimated outturn of last
year's crop, and that one coolie will
raise seven piculs of tobacco in the
season, we arrive at the figure 23,-
000 as representing the total num-
ber of Chinese engaged at Deli in
tobacco cultivation, to which num-
ber, 7,000 extra hands must be
added, employed in pursuits inci-
dental to the industry. Three thou-
sand additional Chinese coolies are
reported to have been engaged for
the coming year. The strength of
the Kling community may be taken
at about 3,000. The Chinamen go
into their clearings and begin work
during January and February; those

not actually in service on the to-
bacco estates earning money as
shopkeepers, pedlars, or gardeners,
many of the latter being old hands
who, under advances, have taken
to planting patches of tobacco on
their own account, for which they
find a ready sale in Penang. The
Klings are also to be met with as
drivers of carts and carriages.

An industrious coolie would, on
an average, net in the course of a
year 100 to 150 Dutch florins, and
on this sum he pays to the Dutch
government 2 per cent, by way of
income tax. The coolie however,
arrives in the country with a debt
of from 100 fl. to 150 fl., and thus
as a rule is not clear and able to
leave with a balance in hand till the
end of the second year. The coolie
is engaged for a year, but he gener-
ally re engages, and takes his de-
parture in the beginning of the third
year.

The Dutch Government regula-
tions with regard to the mainten-
ance of a medical man by every
estate and to the erection of hos-
pitals for sick coolies are stringent;
and, on the whole, the coolie lines,
considering their temporary nature,
are adequate, so that the lot of the
coolie in Deli may be regarded as a
favorable one.

The Medicine Man.

A New Use tor Tobacco,

The toilet water and soap busi-
ness of the century-old house of
Johenn Maria Farina, of Cologne,
Germany, is famous the world over.
There recently came to New York
a man who says he has been for
many years in the service of the
Farina firm as a chemist, and who
alleges that the base, as chemists
call such things, of the finest soaps
made in Cologne is tobacco. He
has made soap in New York out of
Havana tobacco and the perfume of
it, say those to whom it has been
submitted, is exquisite and not in
the remotest degree suggestive of
tobacco. The Havana with which
the chemist experimented cost, duty
paid, 85 cents a pound, but he says
he can make just as good soap out
of the cheapest grades of Pennsyl-
vania or Wisconsin. The chemist
from Cologne has interested a num-
ber of New York capitalists in his
scheme and these gentlemen it is
said will, equip for him a soap fac-
tory in Brooklyn that is to cost
$400,000, and here he will manu-
facture expensive soaps out of
cheap tobaccos.

Mexico's Tobacco Crop,

The Economista Mexicano estim-
ates this season's tobacco crop in
Mexico at 22,000,000 lbs. It says
the greater part of the crop is al-
ready sold to the United States for
delivery as gathered.

Havana Market Active.

A Busy End of the Year — Arrivals
and Departures — Trade News.

Havana, December 20, 1902
The Havana market continues
active for low grades. Botes of Re
medios, Vuelta Abajo and third
capaduras, as well as second capa
duras, have obtained the most at-
tention and while Spain took an
other 3,000 bales, a large local ci
garette factory is reported to have
made a contract for 5,000 bales. In
other filler grades 3,300 bales more
were traded in, thus summing up a
total of 11,300 bales for the week
ending December 20, which may be
divided into 8,300 Remedios, 2,6co
Vuelta Abajo and 400 bales of Par-
tido tobacco Home consumption
of our cigar and cigarette factories
ought to be credited with 5,300
bales, while the United States is
believed to have taken 3,300 bales
and Europe 2,700 bales. Prices
rule firm for all choice grades,
while up to now no change has
taken place in the low classes, as
evidently holders are anxious to
clean their stocks of the latter before
the close of the year. Whether the
coming reciprocity treaty will ex-
ercise any increased demand for
leaf tobacco remains to be seen, and
also what steps Europe may take as
a sort of retaliation measure, if
their exports to the island of Cuba
should suffer any material retrograde
movement in the coming year, al
though up to now the dealers here
have not yet studied this question
thoroughly.

The 1903 Crop.
Reports just received from the
Vuelta Abajo make mention of
quite a number of vegueros having
started to cut their temprano part
of the crop and while this news
comes as a surprise to the younger
houses, the older ones are prepared
for such a state of affairs, and it
proves again that views about dam-
age to crops have always to be taken
"cum grano salis," and should not
be trusted implicitly. Undoubtedly
great damage has been done, but
there has been no failure of the en-
tire temprano plantings in the Vuelta
Abajo. By the end of January a
better forecast can be made, as re-
gards the possible quantity of the
1903 crop.

Arrivals In Havana.
Edward Hilson, of The Hilson
Co. New York; Don Jose Fernan
dez of the same city, and Wm. J
Hazelwood, of the large firm of

Havana Cigar Manufacturers.

The movement of the independent
cigar factories has not yet culmin-
ated in any positive plan but it is
said that the chief entrepreneur is
hopeful of coming to a satisfactory
understanding ere long and that
matters are progressing. The num-
ber of independent factories is given
at 36 and commission houses claim
that they have increased calls for
their product. Houses like H. Up-
mann & Co., Rabell, Costa, Vales
& Co., Cifuentes, Fernandez & Co.,
Behrens & Co., Viuda de Jose
Gener, Carlos Blasco, and many
others too numerous to mention are
loaded with orders. H. Upmann
& Co. have recently worked several
Sundays to catch up on some press-
ing orders for prompt delivery.
Cifuentes, Fernandez & Co., of the
Partagas brand, are turning out 40,-
000 cigars daily. Behrens & Co.
are looking for a larger and more
commodious building, in which they
could manufacture at least 35 000
cigars per diem, as their present
quarters are too small to admit of
doing this business.

Exports of cigars by the steamer
Morro Castle reached almost 4,-
000,000.

President Perkins^ Card.

George W. Perkins, of Chicago,
President of the Cigarmakers'Inter-
national Union has issued thefollow-
ing card:

••I have received innumerable re
quests for information and advice
regarding the Chicago so called In
dependent Cigar and Tobacco
Dealers' Association. I take this
opportunity of saying to all that my
advice has been, and is now, not to
become affiliated in any way with
the dealers and manufacturers of
scab cigars. I have had nothing to
do with the organization of the
dealers in this city, and have never
attended any of their meetings. Al
though letters and circulars have
been sent to them, urging them to
handle nothing but union label ci-
gars, I find that the so-called inde-
pendent dealers here handle, as a
rule, 90 per cent, scab cigars and
the other 10 per cent, is composed
of the cheapest kind of union label
goods. These people are not honest
in their professions of preference for
union goods. They advertise, with
a vengeance, that they handle only
union and independent goods, and
pose as the friends of union labor

"These dealers do not heartily
support the union label. They
seem to think that if they boom the
label it will make the union so
strong that the trust will make
peace with the union, which they
seem to think would operate against
them. They, in this city at least,
are booming the so-called independ-
ent, but in reality the scab, manu-
facturers. They aim to deceive the
general public and confuse them
with the term 'independent.' While
no hard and fast lines can be laid
down which should be followed in
each city, yet the unions should
adapt themselves to conditions as
they exist. If the dealers in your
city are handling and pushing the
goods of the independent scab bosses
they should be exposed and the fact
made known. If they are pushing
the union label goods it is an indi
cation that they are friendly and
honest in their eflforts and should be
treated accordingly. In any event,
I hold that it is best for us to not be-
come tied up with them in any way.
While we should encourage our
friends and do nothing to drive them
away from our support, we should
at the same time be in a position
where we can prevent the kind of
dealers we find in Chicago and
several other places from using our
organization as a cloak and a means
to shield them in the work of palm-
ing ofi" scab goods under the pretext
of fighting the trust and posing as
the friend of the unions. If you are
a part of their organization or in

any way affiliated with them they
will use that fact to fool the public
■ This is going to be a desperate
fight, and we should be careful to
avoid mistakes. My advice is to
stand squarely on the issue of the
union and the blue label and fight
it out on that line. Any other
course will lead to complications
and confusion and ultimately hurt
our cause. Remember that the
dealer does not want to see the trust
succeed, because he thinks he will
be driven out of business; neither
does he want to see the union con
trol entirely, as he thinks that he
would have to pay more for his
goods. He. however, should be
shown that of the two evils he
should choose the least; that if the
trust succeeds he will go out of
business, while if the union goes to
the top in this fight he can still re
main in business, even if his profits
are not so large. He should be
made to understand that he has no
hope from the trust, and that we
will fight him unless he comes out
squarely and takes his proper place
in this fight and on the side of the
union and its label."

There's Room Enough for All of Us

A Duologue Between An Old Friend and
Another Fellow.

The Spirit of the Past: Of course, I
know that I am a back number, but there
ain't any mildew on me yet that I can see.
And, then, I enjoy the personal acquaint-
ance of everybody in all branches in the
trade from Sig Rosenwald down. I knew
each of 'em like a primer; have been
with them in all kinds of weather— in
New York, in Philadelphia, in Tampa,
in Lancaster, in New England, in Chi-
cago, in San Francisco, in Cuba, in Porto
Rico, and even, in far back times, in the
Philippines. My eyes grow wet with tears
when I think of some of the great ones
who are gone; of Julian Alvarez and
Pedro Roger and Jose Gener. of Cuba;
of Simon Hcrnsheim, of New Orleans;
of David Dunlop, of Petersburg, Va. ;
of Lewis Ginter and John Pope, of Rich-
mond; of Leopold Bamberger, and Ra-
phael Teller and Henry Heymann, of
Philadelphia ; of Coolot, of Oakland, Cal. ;
of J. Friedman, of Chicago; of those well
remembered New Yorkers, Edward and
Isaac and Henry Rosenwald, Ysidro

halski, Armand Levy, Emanuel Hoffman,
Albert Rosenbaum, Joseph Lederman,
Albert Dannerlein, Joseph Seidenberg,
Benno Lichtenstein, Vicente Martinez
Ybor— how long, how sad a list! They
were all mv friends and each a good
citizen. To you, of the new day, many
of them are unknown, yet had I time to
tell you of each of them and his life
work, and had you the inclination to
listen, the lesson these true tales would
teach you might be inspiriting, even to
you who appear to be so full of an energy
that conquers worlds which my old friends
scarce ever dreamed of invading.

The Spirit of The Future : You are un-
just if you think I fail in reverence to
your honored dead, or that I have not
mastered the lessons to be learned from
the career of each of them. I am indeed
new. Young to freshness, if you care to
put it in a flippant way, bvt I am neither
heartless nor over covetous. My purse
is fuller than yours ever was, full to
overflowing, yet am I no wastrel. I serve
the same Tobacco God whom you and
your friends have served for so long and
my prayer is that the incense I burn at
his altars may be as fragrant in his nos-
trils as yours was wont to be. And I
bring to him more votaries than you
brought, for do I ever tire in making
known to the teeming millions of the
world the virtues of that plant from which
he takes his name? Where you let fall
a single drop of printers' ink I spill it in
Niagaras and in colors that accentuate the
rainbow's glories!

What is your grievance against me,
anyhow, old friend ? That I house my-
self splendidly in the finest thorough-
faresof your proudestcities ? That I manu-
facture and sell according to a system ?
That 1 am an ingenious and constant
advertiser? That I am never rebuffed if
the public treats some of my wares coldly ?
That out of my profits I bestow gifts upon
my patrons in order that they may re-
member me kindly? These enterprises
of mine own invention have helped and
will keep on helping to fill my pockets,
but whom else have they hurt ? Have I
hurt the farmer? Go into Pennsylvania,
into Ohio, into Wisconsin, into New
England and into your own York State
and ask there have I hurt your importers
and packers? If so, where are the wrecks?
Have I hurt your manufacturers of Tur-
kish cigarettes? Nay, these are more
prosperous than of old. Your manufac-
turers of cigars? Ho, ho, they are busier
than ever before! I am a strong com«
petitor, am I ? Tell me, then, was there
ever a time when merchants were free
from strong competition? And before
my time, there were in this very cigar
manufacturing field of which I speak,
competitors far more dangerous to their
rivals than I admit that I am. I am a

corporation, and you remind me that
Lord Coke defined a corporation to be a
something without a soul to be damned
or a body to be kicked. Let me remind
you, in turn, that it was that same Lord
Cokewho helped to build up the monopo-
lists in England some of which flourished
from Elizabeth's time down to the middle
of Victoria's reign. Lord Coke, indeed!
Coke is a nice name to mention in coal
famine times!

"I, a monopoly! 1 have what I have
and I want more, but he who calls me a
monopoly knows but inadequately the
use of words. A monopoly is a business
institution whose welfare is in some suc-
cessful way guaranteed by the State.
Under equal laws there can be no
monopolies and in what land are the
laws so equal as in our own ? I am reso-
late, I have a clear brain, I possess mil-
lions of capital, under my banners march
armies of subordinates every man of
whom is loyal to my cause and each of
whom is to be found at his task during
business hours, in the sense that I am to
produce excellent goods and to sell them
at the smallest possible margin of profit,
I am perhaps a dangerous rival to others
in my own field who do not possess my
resources in men or money, but if this is
an evil is it not balanced by the fact that
my activities result in a larger demand
for tobacco products? Is it not a fact
made manifest by the enormous growth
of very recent years in the production of
cigars that there is room for us all?
Gentle Spirit of the Past, judge me not
harshly. I am because I had to be. I
am the personation of the inevitable. "

The Spirit of The Past: "You state
your case with force and eloquence, yet
I could wish the inevitable had not come
upon us with quite such suddenness, and
that it were not so distressingly aggres-
sive! Besides, I don't begin to admit
that you are a blessing here at home. I
have a whole lot of reasons for thinking
quite the contrary. I'll give you Japan
and China and even Europe, but I won't
disguise from you the fact that I'm not
sleeping quite easily here at home in the
United States. You seem to be blowing
your horn so constantly that 1' m getting
insomnia."

The Spirit of The Future : ' Console
yourself, Gentle Spirit, I am inevitable,
but what I'm puzzled to know is, am I to
be everlasting? What 1 have taught and
am teaching will remain. That is cer-
tain, but of my own fate I am no more
sure than any other mortal. But if I'm
puzzled I'm not disheartened. I am full
of courage. My hand is on the far East
and I am reaching out for Europe — and
both hands are good Americans, you

can bet! "

Both together: A Happy New Year to
all the blest tobacco boys in all lands
beneath the sun ! • 'There' s room enough
for all of us. "

The American Tobacco Company

PHILA. LEAF MARKET.

The mid-holiday week in tobacco
leaf circles has been busy in one
way — quiet in another. Sales, as
is always the case at this time of
the year, have been few; no business
being looked for or solicited. In
the way of inventoring, preparing
samples for 1903 business, etc , most
of the leaf men have been busy. A
good year's business is confidently
looked for.

In cigar manufacturing circles
business has been fairly good;
orders on hand kept a number of
the factories busy, and they will be
for some little time. After the first
of the year, however, the state of
trade can be more accurately fore-
casted.

A New Incorporation.
The M.J. Dalton Cigar Company
is in process of incorporation. The
object of the company will be to
import and deal in cigars and to-
bacco as well as to manufacture ci-
gars. M J. Dalton, the well known
manufacturer, is at the head of the
list of incorporators.

The Retailers.
The next meeting of the Phil-
adelphia Retail Cigar Dealers Pro
tective Association will be held
Wednesday evening, January 14,
1903, in room A, eighth floor of the
Odd Fellows' Temple, Broad and
Cherry streets. Headquarters of
the association have been removed
to 14 N. 13th street — the store of
J. W. Marshal. Officers of the as-
sociation say that active organiza-
tion work is being carried on and is
meeting with success, new members
coming in almost daily. Much im-
portant business will come up for
action at the next meeting and a
number of matters of vital import-
ance to the retailers will be dis-
cussed.

Pleasure and Business.
Frank Domingues, salesman with
E. A. Calves & Co., spent Christ-
mas at Havana. In addition to
having a vacation Mr. Domingues
will also attend to business matters
for his firm while in Cuba.

He Had a Good Time.
John Dee, the hustling Chicago
representative of the Theobald fr
Oppenheimer Cigar Company, spent
Christmas in Philadelphia as the
guest of his firm. That he was
handsomely entertained needs no
assertion and when he departed for

his Western home Mr. Dee was loud
in his praise of the Quaker City and
his hosts.

Opens Anew.
S. Greenwalt, who recently sold
his store to the United Cigar Stores
Company, has opened a new cigar
emporium at 141 Market street.

Contented Tobacco People.

The leaf dealers of Philadelphia
frankly say they did a good 1902
business. While in many cases
competition was closer than in past
years, and the transactions inrolved
somewhat smaller, they did a larger
business, and hence, really came
out ahead. As a rule, too, they
predict a busy 1903 year's business
and are correspondingly pleased
over the matter. Philadelphia con-
tinues to be a wonderful city so far
as cigarmanufacturing is concerned,
and the prospects are that a marked
increase in output will be the record
for the coming year. The oft-re-
peated assertion that "the best 5-
cent cigars in the world are made
in Philadelphia," is literally true
and the fact that Philadelphia five
centers are almost equal to other
cities' ten cent cigars quite natur-
ally booms the Quaker City cigars
and results in financial good to the
manufacturers It is small wonder,
then, that all hands can heartily
say: "We wish you a Happy New

Year."

increasing wants of humanity in
their line. The coming year's busi
ness promises to be good and so the
average salesman, after a good rest
at holiday time, can start oflf with a
light and expectant heart. He'll
get there.

The Souvenir Season.
In conformity with past custom
many of the leaf houses and cigar
manufacturers have been generously
remembering their customers and
friends by making them presents of
appropriate souvenir gifts. The
giftsrange from handsome calendars
to paper weights and card cases and
are excellent advertising media, too.
The Tobacco World is the recipient
of so many of these welcome re-
minders that it cannot acknowledge
them separately, but takes this
means of returning its thanks for
all.

What He Smoked,

"What kind of tobacco do you
smoke. Rivers?" asked the friend
who had dropped in.

Rivers hesitated a moment.

"As a rule." said Brooks, com
ing to his relief, "he smokes cut
plug, except when I run out of it
and happen to have some other
kind in my desk. "

"To attempt to do a large busi-

"To attempt to do business if you

"To spend your time and money

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thns maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand-work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to-day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

History Repeats Itself.

"My husband is just too mean for
:any thing:"

There were tears in the eyes of
the young wife as she said the words,
but as it was into her mother's con
fiding ears she poured her tale of
■woe her grief was hidden from the
■world at large.

"He, he" — this was not laughter,
but sobs — "used tobecheated dread-

ful when he bought his cigars, pay
ing $5 and $6 a box for them, and
here, when I saw some lovely large
ones at Lacy ' s for $ i . 1 9 a box , with
a picture of a beautiful Spanish girl
in the loveliest mantilla, on the lid,
I bought ten boxes for him as a
Christmas present, and he, he" —
here she sobbed again — "told me
after looking them over coldly that
he was going to swear off smoking
New Year's!"

"Never mind, dear, said the
mother, soothingly, "it is just like
a man. I bought cigars, oh, a real
bargain, for your father once, and
he told me the same story. After I
had given them to the washer-
woman's husband he started to
smoke again, too!"

But just then a woman passed the
window wearing a handsome fur
coat, and in debating as to whether
it was a genuine Persian lamb or a
$19 1 9 imitation, their mutual misery
over male perversity was forgotten.

The duties and taxes collected
upon tobacco during the fiscal year
ended June 30th, 1902, amounted to
$70,563 580.14.

Doctored the Meter.

A Philadelphia daily had the
following, anent a tobacconist, in
its December 26th issue:

Thrifty householders who have
tried devious plans to cut down
their gas bills by tampering with
the meter would better take warning
from the fate of James M. Pfleiger,
a cigar dealer at 2001 North Elev-
enth street. Charged with ' 'fixing"
the busy meter in his cellar, he was
arrested yesterday on complaint of
the United Gas Improvement Com
pany, and is now languishing in
jail, awaiting trial in default of $600
bail.

The arrest of a person for tamper-
ing with a meter is an unusual one,
.and there are those who say that, if

OflBcers of the gas company said,

entering the cellar during her hus ^

band's absence. The

gas man,
however, had his orders, so he went
ahead and removed the register, de-
spite the woman's remonstrances.
He found a wire cleverly inserted
in the dial to keep the hands from
turning, although it did not ob-
struct the flow of gas. The device
was not only a clever one, it was a
simple one as well, and Pfleiger
found it to work so well that he in-
structed some of his neighbors in
the new and easy method of saving
gas bills.

The act under which Pfleiger was
arrested was passed by the Legisla
ture in 1895 for the protection of
gas companies. It makes the of-
fence of tampering with their prop-
erty, such as meters, pipes or con-
nections, a misdemeanor punishable
by a fine or imprisonment.

The History of

A Box of Cigars,

It was three years ago when I
first met those cigars. The top of
the box was covered with gold to
such an extent that I thought at
first that a gold mine must have
tumbled on it. The seals were very
impressive. Sample open boxes in
the window showed a beautiful dis
play of orange colored ribbon. The
salesman smiled a seductive wel
come from within. There were
fifty in a box. The price was 95
cents I was practising economy at
the time and figured out that 50
cigars would last me fifty days. On
the other hand, I could save 95 cents
in a week and a half by walking
up and down town. The elevated
cars, I argued to myself, were too
crowded and pedestrianism had ever
been a hobby of mine. I bought
the cigars.

I thought I would begin saving
carfare next day. It is a good thing
to begin a day right. So I took the
elevated that night and fortunately
got a seat. Here I refreshed my-
self, as is my wont, by reading the
light society verse appearing on the
advertisements. My box of regalias
slipped from my lap and I put them
behind me for safety.

Buried in some profound thoughts,
which I have forgotten now, the
train very nearly carried me past
104th street. I jumped out just in
time. And then I remembered that
I had forgotten those cigars. I
stood there helpless. Here I was
losing 95 cents and was unable to
prevent it. My box of cigars was
being carried away from me. Per-
haps at that very moment profane
hands were clutching them. I took
the next train downtown and filed
a claim on the company. I also
stood on my rights as a citizen and
made them reimburse me for my
carfare back uptown.

Two days passed. My cigars

were still missing. The clerks at
the lost property ofl&ce came to look
upon my presence as a personal af-
front to them. I threatened to
bring suit and take the case to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
if necessary. I quoted from the
Constitution that stirring passage
about the pursuit of happiness.
How can a man pursue happiness
if a souless elevated railroad carries
off his cigars as fast as he can buy
them?

One day when I went to the lost
property oflBce one of the clerks
was smoking. I sniffed critically.
The aroma smelled much as my ci-
gars might have smelled. I im-
mediately wrote a sharp letter to
the management representing that
from a pecuniary point of view I
was unable to buy cigars for their
whole clerical staff. I concluded
by begging to enclose my bill for
95 cents. They answered by beg
ging to return it. I came very near
deciding never to ride on an {ele-
vated train again.

The next night I was walking
from the trolley to my house, dis
consolate with my loss, when a
stranger tapped me on the shoulder

"Pardon me," he said politely,
"but did you lose a box of — er" —

"Cigars?" I prompted eagerly.

"Cigars?" he repeated, dubiously
"Well, all right, just for the sake
of argument. Did you lose a box
of cigars on the 'L' last week?"

"I did," I replied.

"Thank Heaven, I've found
you," he said with a deep sigh of
relief. "Sir, it was the first time
in an otherwise blameless career,
and I have been deeply punished,
deeply punished. I am glad I found
you. Here they are. Goodnight."

"Wait a minute," I said detain
ingly, "won't you have one on
me?"

His pale emaciated face glistened
weirdly in the gaslight as he shivered
an incoherent but unmistakeable

refusah "I have given up smok
ing," he said, in conclusion. "Good
night."

I proudly took home my box of
cigars . Life was sweet to me again
After all, there was virtue left in
the world despite all that had ever
been said to the contrary. I cut
the string and opened the parcel.

The gold design on the box filled
the room with a warm radiance. I
opened the box . First the lid , then
the yellow paper. Then the imita
tion lace paper. Then the white
paper. Then the tissue paper. Then
the tinfoil. And, behold! My ci
gars. One of them had been partly
smoked, but the unused part had
been carefully put back in the box.
Evidently the stranger had become
stricken with remorse while in the
middle of the cigar. I envied that
man the strength of mind that had
enabled his better self to gain the
mastery right in the midst of enjoy-
ment, and moralising thus upon
the ever interesting triumph of mind
over matter, I sank into my easy
chair, lit a match, comfortably
stretched forth my legs and lit the
cigar.

It is a scandalous fact that the
food served in some restaurants is
far from wholesome. The first puff
of that cigar reminded me of this
fact. A little matter of pickles,
eaten the day before, came particu
larly to my mind. I shuddered as
I thought of those reprehensible
pickles. The simple thought of
them completely upset me. I wiped
the clammy perspiration that was
standing out on my forehead I
swallowed with extreme difficulty
I felt bilious. The room seemed to
be tinged with a greenish yellow.

I took a second puff on ray cigar.
Ugh! Again those pickles I
shuddered violently. I had an in-
cipient chill. Articles of furniture
in my room, theretofore, considered
stable, floated around me. I seemed
to be sitting in some strange place
with my head in the clouds and my
feet in an ice pit. I did not feel like
smoking any more that evening.
In fact, I decided that I wouldn't

# «

feel like smoking for some time to
come. I therefore carefully wrapped
up the box and sent it to my old
chum out in Pennsylvania. That
was three years ago.

Last Thursday I was sitting in
my room when Mrs. Brown, my
landlady, brought in a small parcel
addressed to me, on which she had
paid $1.25 express charges, I
wondered what kind friend had
thus unexpectedly rememberrd me.
I reimbursed Mrs. Brown for her ad-
vance and carefully cut the string.
It was a box of c'gars.

The top of the box was so re-
splendent with gold that it seemed
to me a gold mine must have been
spilled on it. Where had I met
that box before? I opened it. First
the lid. Then the yellow paper, the
imitation lace paper, the white
paper, the tissue paper and the tin-
foil. A wealth of orange colored
ribbon met my sight. Three cigars
seemed to be missing. A great light
flooded my intelligence. To make
sure, I lit one of the cigars. My
mind immediately reverted to
pickles. That was enough.

A careful man always looks ahead.
I am wondering to whom I shall
give those cigars next Christmas. —

Provisions of the proposed treaty
with Cuba are a reduction of 5 per
cent, in all tariff schedules for Cuba

rates fixed are to be preferential of
each party to the convention as
against all other countries. The
treaty is to go into effect ten days

THE TOOL AND
^ THE HAND ^

By use of the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table
and the liand of the operator you get a perfect
cigar, and a perfect cigar is what we are
looking tor.

The imperfections of a machine made cigar
are many and glaring.

A machine could make a passable cigar if
every bunch were like every other bunch. Such
is not the case, but the
machine goes on working
just as if it were, and no
wrapper really and faith-
fully follows the lines of
the bunch; consequently,
we have loose wrappers,
pockets, false heads, and
a cigar whose wrapper
shrivels up and makes
what would otherwise
be recognized as a fine
smoke look like a
twofer.

The human hand is
the only machine that can
properly roll and wrap
a cigar.

The hand of the operator with a wrapper
cut and held stretched on a DuBrul Dieless
Suction Table makes a cigar which comes as
near perfection as anything produced by human
effort can be.

The Dieless Table has come to stay.
It will most certainly supplant all other
tables.

It cuts a better wrapper than a table fitted
with dies and rollers could possibly cut. It
doesn't get out of order and require constant
attention and repair. It leaves the table open
and flat for the operator to work upon, with
no dies or other makeshift in the way. Palm
work comes natural instead of finger work, as
is the case when dies are used.

This table is so sim-
ple in action, and its
working parts are so few
and easily understood
and kept in good shape,
that operators are glad to
use it ; they won't use
any other if they can
help it.

To further progress,
we should like to see
some way to improve
this table, but how
it can be improved
we must a d m i t is
altogether too much
for us.
I There are a multi-

tude of reasons why this table is needed by
you. and a line from you will bring the reasons
from us.

If you must use a Die Table, you
ought to use the best of that sort. We
make it, and we can show it to \'ou at our
oftlces.

Pass Resolutions

At Reading, Pa, on Death of J. W.
Yocum. — Trade News.

Reading, Pa., Dec. 26, 1902.
Samuel D. Dibert presided at a
meeting of representatives of the
cigar and tobacco manufacturers
held at the Board of Trade room
here for the purpose of taking suit-
able action upon the death of James
7. Yociam, of Yocum Bros. Julius
G. Hansen was made secretary.
In assuming the chair, Mr. Dibert
referred in a few earnest words to
the sad occasion which had brought
them together. He said that he
had known Mr. Yocum for a num-
ber of years and that he had always
found him an earnest, straightfor-
ward and thoroughly honest man
in all his dealings. Mr. Yocum,
he said, was an exemplary citizen,
whose loss the community would
feel. Faithful to every trust, kind
and benevolent in his intercourse
with his friends, he had won the
confidence and respect of all who
knew him. It was fitting and
appropriate that his associates in
business should meet together to
give expression to the sense of loss
sustained, and Mr. Dibert said he
was ready to entertain such motion
as any member might have to offer.
Upon motion of George W. Lehr,
the president was authorized to
appoint a committee of five to pre-
pare suitable resolutions expressive
of the sentiment of those present.
The chair named, Messrs. George
W. Lehr, W. W. Stewart, E. E
Kahler, Charles Fleck and Frank
C. Greene. The committee pre
pared resolutions which refer to the
removal by death of their " highly
esteemed associate and friend, there-
by terminating .the business and
social relations that existed between
him and us for many years," and
declare that ' ' in the course of a
long business career in Reading
^tending ov^er a period of t-even
\eLn years, the members of the
cigar and tobacco industry have
ever found him to be a man of
undoubted integrity, a manufac-
turer of unusual enterprise and a
citizen of great public spirit, who
constantly encouraged local enter-
prises and advocated the greatest
good to the largest number, there
by winning for himself the highest
regard of all who came to know
him." It was resolved that they
"deeply mourn the decease of
James W. Yocum and desire in this
public manner to express our appre
elation of his noble character;"
that they, "tender to the family of
the deceased our deepest sympathy
in the hour of their greatest afflic-
tion," and that as a further mark
of respect they attend the funeral

in a body; also that the resolutions
be engrossed and presented to the
family. Addresses eulogistic of the
life and character of deceased were
made by George W. Lehr, E. E.
Kahler, W. W. Stewart, Charles
Maers, J. G Spalz, Keyser Fry,
Charles Brentiser and Julius G
Hansen. The resolutions were
unanimously adopted. The funeral
of Mr. Yocum, took place at i p. m
last Saturday. Interment was at
Charles Evans Cemetary. The
cigar manufacturers of Reading
attended the funeral in a body.
There was a large turnout.

Collector Frederick W. Cranston
is making his annual inspection of
cigar and tobacco factories in this
district, comprising Berks and
Lehigh counties. He expects the
cigar output to be much heavier
than last year, as a number of new
factories have been opened in this
city, and all have been unusally
busy the past five mopths. There
are 295 cigar factories and 30 j
tobacco manufacturies in the dis i
trict. I

John G. Spatz & Co., were the'
first in this district to have their I
inventory made. The firm had a j
busy season and will be closed until
Jan. ist, when operations will be
resumed. Their output will reach
at least six million cigars for the
year, which is a hanuoome gain
over the business of 1901.

Quite a number of factories are
closed until after Jan. ist.

Cigar dealers here dispensed with
the usual practice of giving out card
cases, etc. as Christmas gifts to their
patrons, but distributed Havana
cigars instead.

Charles Fox has opened a new
cigar factory. His bond in the sum
of $500 was approved by Collector
Cranston. Another tobacco factory j
was opened in Allentown by Andrew !
B. Graber who filed a bond in $2,- 1
000. He will make up smoking
and chewing tobacco for the job-
ing trade.

M. M. Ruth, the cigar manufac
turer has placed a new brand on the
market called "Our Chief," the
label of which bears a handsome
portrait of Chief Miller of the Fire
Department. .

William Snyder, cigar manufac-
turer, is busy on nickel goods.
There is quite a demand for his
Snyder's Special. He enjoys a
large business through the coal
region.

Francis D. Smith, formerly
engaged in the cigar manufacturing
business at 705 North Ninth street,
has received an appointment on
Mayor Yeager's police force.

At a meeting of the Cigar makers'
Union, the use of the union label
was granted to Goldsmith & Keller.

Yocum, assistant, received a smok-
ing jacket. Lee Hertzel, of the
stripping department, received a
Morris chair and William Guard,
the stock-keeper a fine rocker. The
presents were given by employes.

Hollis & Co., who recently open
ed a cigar factory here, have built
up a large trade. Their working
force has been increased and dupli
cate orders are rapidly coming in. \,

M. Steppacher is well pleased

He expects to increase his product
next year. He regards the trade

Tobacco People Take a Short Holi-
day Rest Ere the 1903 1
Campaign. '

York, December 29, 1902.

There is very little to record in
the York leaf tobacco market this
week. As is usual at this season
of the year, business is dull because
most of the cigar manufacturers
have suspended operations in order
to give their employes a breathing
spell during the holidays. The leaf
tobacco dealers report few sales dur
ing the week, but all say they have
had a very prosperous year and look
forward to a still further volume of
business during 1903.

Cigar manufacturers are exceed
ingly well pleased with the amount
of business transacted during the
year now closing. Nineteen hundred
and two will go down as being one
of the most successful ever known
in the cigar making business The
output in York county was greater
than ever before known and would
have been still greater had the man-
ufacturers been able to secure all
the cigarmakers and other help they
desired. The outlook for 1903 is
very bright and rosy, and some of
the most sanguine of the manufac-
turers anticipate a more prosperous
year than during the past twelve
months. Traveling salesmen, the
most of whom are now taking a
brief rest during the holidays, say
they have no trouble to sell goods
these days, and as soon as they re
sume their trips, some big orders
are expected to be booked. During
the year many of the cigar factories
have been enlarged and will be bet-

%

ter enabled to supply the demand
for goods during next year. One
of the most pleasing features of the
trade, is that during the year there
have been no failures or serious
financial trouble among any of the
leaf dealers or cigar manufacturers.

J. A. Mayer & Bro. made another
big shipment of York county leaf
tobacco to Lancaster last week.
This firm has secured a big portion
of the 1903 crop. ^

D E. Woodmansee, a prominent. 0-
cigar manufacturer of SpringGrove,
has recovered from a serious illness
of typhoid fever. He was confined
to his room over seven weeks. Mr.
Woodmansee reports having had a
prosperous year, and also having a
large number ot orders on hand.

Young & Buser, David Boyer»
Charles Seiker, and other retail to-
bacconists in this city, report having^
had a prosperous trade during the
holiday season. All of them had
many novelties for smokers and
tobacco users. All of the stores
in York were handsomely decorated
and on Chrismas day egg-nog was
served to the patrons as a Christmas
treat.

H. F. Kohler, of Nashville, man-
ufacturer of the Happy Jim cigar,
reports a very prosperous year. He
has built up a large trade in the
west and prior to the holidays made
some very large shipments. He
has sufficient orders on his books
to keep his factory in operation for
several months in the new year.
Mr. Kohler recently lost a valuable
thoroughbred Scotch collie dog,
which he prized highly.

V. R. Welsh & Son, cigar man-
ufacturers of this city, had one of
the most attractive displays of fine
cigars ever seen in York during the
Christmas holidays. This firm
manufacturers The Colonial, Per-
fecto and Panatella, cigars, which
are regarded by many smokers as
being among the very best made in
York county. Last week the firm
made big shipments of their ce^-- ' ^^
bra ted brands to Atlantic City, Bdst- w
ton, Philadelphia and Arlena, Kas.

Several Red Lion cigar manu-
facturers are on the verge of beings
drawn into a legal controversy '
through an attempted infringement
of the late novelty in packing ci-
gars, for which a patent has been
applied for by H. A. Strobeck and
Fred. Smith. A few weeks ago
they applied for a patent for a tri-
angular design into cigar shape. It
is said that evidence has been se-
cured that another manufacturer in
Red Lion has modeled a packing
device similar to that which Stro-
beck and Smith hold sole control \
and operate. The latter will not
take any legal steps unless the man-
ufacturer persists in in fringing^ upon
their rights.

Sa ( i continue to be reported.
One a' ter another of the Massachu
setts rowers yields to the packer
and 1 trts with his crop at what
seems o be very low figures Prob-
ably a better crop hasn't been
grown in the last twenty- five years.
But no matter about its quality or
the fact that every sprig of it is

anted, there is scarcity of leaf in
'the market, and that the output of
cigars is hundredsof millions greater
than ever before known. Yet, for
all this, they act as though afraid
to ask what would be a reasonable
price. If one has a poor lot. why,
then, sell it as you would a scabby
sheep! Well, there seems little use
to say anything about the condition
of the market. They are bound to
sell.

Our correspondents write:

Conway: "I have a few sales to
report this week. Mr. Charles F.
Allis and A. R Cronson sold about
ij4 acres each at loc; B. S. Graves
•& Sons sold 10 acres at 12c; Boyden
Brothers, 10 acres at private terms,
all in the bundle to Gheen of Phil-
adelphia. I am sorry to hear of
such good crops of tobacco being
sold at such low prices. A few
have not finished stripping yet."

South Deerfield: "Quite a num
ber of lots of tobacco. Charles E.
Williams & Son sold 9 acres at 14c;
Riley Maynard, 7 acres, 13c; Francis
Clapp, 6 acres, 14c; George Belden.
10 acres, 14c; P. Hayes, 10 acres,
I2}4c; Patrick Mehan, 12 acres at
1 2C, and three small crops at 12c.
Several are to have their crops sorted
and packed, while others will assort
their own. W. W. Sanderson has
opened his packing rooms with a
large number of hands, and so has
J. C. Decker."

Windsor: "Several sales have
been made recently. The A. T.
■Company bought 1 2 acres of Esquire

alcomb; it is to be assorted at 27c
>ugh. I. Kirkbridgesold 9 acres
at 23c in the bundle, and J. S. Shaw
sold his 12 acres in a curious way,
the diflferent qualities at various
prices. The light wrappers went
at 45c, and other qualities so that
the price amounts to some over 29c,
assorted through. It is a very fine
crop and runs largely to Boston
lights."

Deerfield: Several sales of tobacco
have been made: Among those
who sold are Theodore Childs,
William L. Harris and Harry Wells.
The prices not reported." — Ameri-
can Cultivator.

BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y.
The market still remains quiet
^p 'With no sales of either new or old
ported. Many growers have taken

down the new crop from the sheds
and are now engaged in stripping.
At the local warehouses everything
is quiet with only a few small ship-
ments occasionally made — Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.

The holiday season seldom brings
much news in local tobacco mar
kets and the present year is not an
exception to the rule. Buyers have
very generally been called off", while
the packers are engaged in closing
up their books for the year. The
growers are the most busy people
just at present preparing their crop
for the market Casing weather
early in the week gave them ample
opportunity to take down the bal
ance of their hanging tobacco and
the work of stripping will now be
pushed as an early delivery is most
desired.

A few deliveries have been made
in this market during the week and
big receiving days are being ar-
ranged for early after the new year.
The warehouses not now in opera-
tion are preparing to start up in all
the packing points soon after the
holidays, when the tobacco hand-
ling will be in full blast.

L. B. Carle & Son purchased
loocs of 1901 from a De Forest
packer during the week.

Mid-Holiday Week in
l/ancaster

Quiet in Tobacco Circles — Sales of
1902 Crops — Trade Items.

Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 27, '02

The past week in tobacco circles

was an extremely quiet one, only a

moderate amount of business having

been done.

The holiday rush with the manu
facturers is now over and it is their
custom to close down between
Christmas and New Year. They
will devote the intervening time to
inventory-taking and get themselves
in readiness to resume operations
immediately after January 1st, since
they have a sufl5cient number of
back orders (which were delayed on
account of the demand for holiday
goods) to keep them busy for some
time.

Some of the recent purchases of
1902 seedleaf are as follows: Jacob
Dambach, i acre, at 7^ and 2c;
John Martzall, 4 acres, at 8 and ic;
Samuel Martzall, 2 acres, at 7>4 and
ic; Henry Springer, 1 acre, at 8 and
2c; Amos Risser, 3 acres, at 8 and
2c; Addison Ditzler, i)4 acres, at 9
and 2c; John Harnish, 2 acres, at
g}^ and 2c; Jacob Spangler, 2 acres,
at g}4 and 2c; Benjamin Barr, 4
acres, at ro and 5c; Jonas Douster,
2 acres, at g}4 and 2c; Clinton
Rohrer, 2 acres, at loc through;
David Hinaman, 2 acres, at 8^ and
2c; William Witmer, i acre, at 10
and 2c; Benjamin Metzler, i acre,
at 10 and 2c; Daniel Metzler, 3
acres at 10 and 2c.

The crop is being delivered to the
warehouses pretty lively and will
continue until all has been bought
up.

John Brown, cigar dealer, died
Saturday morning from lung trouble
after an illness of ten days, aged
fifty- one years. He was born in
Germany, but came to this country
with the rest of the family of his
father, John Brown, when a lad of
three years. For many years he
was engaged in the cigar business.
He is survived by his parents and
five brothers and sisters.

Some of the visitors during the
past week were: Mr. Loeb and S. S.
Swartz.of the Loeb Swartz Tobacco
Company, Philadelphia, and Mr.
Pretzfield,of Pretzfield& Co., New
York.

The festivities common to the 1

benefactor, and a spell of four days
of zero weather, have put an effec-
tive embargo upon business in the
1902 crop The same may be said
of cured leaf, as sales have he£^' ]|t
confined to a few small lots. kV ''
little business is looked for after
New Years, as several fair sized lots
are being closely looked after and
figures thereon quoted. Thousands
of acres of tobacco were taken down
during the recent damp weather,
but the holidays and cold weather
have prevented much stripping.
Deliveries will begin in about a.
week and then assorting will com-
mence with a rush, as hundreds of
assorters have been hired.

The local cigar makers and re*
tailers enjoyed a good holiday busi'
ness and are well sold out.

and Prospects for a Fine 1903
Business.
San Francisco, Dec. 23, 190*.
Retail trade has increased with
the cold weather and everybody is
on the street. The lack of rain is
causing some uneasiness in many-
lines of business and merchants in
general would like to see a change.
H. Bier & Co. are making the La
Lucinda, a clear Havana cigar, for
G. M. Tiaffay, who is doing well
with them, at his stand.

C. B. Tornas, for many years a
traveling man on the Pacific coast,
has made such a remarkable success^
with his cigar store that he is u " ^^
fitting himself up a new place at 416
Market street. The new store is j
nearing completion and will be both
modern and ingenious in its arrange-
ment for the comfort of customers.
One attractive departure is the cozy
alcove built in one side of the store
and arranged with settees to accom-
modate the people. The store will
begin operations the first of January.

Jim Menasco is here from Los
Angeles, introducing a new brand
of cigars.

D. P. Carters' stand is getting the
