the very beginnings of things, I
hasten to put it on paper as my own
' contribution to the Comic History
of Tobacco.
The accepted account of the dis-
T covery of tobacco relates that when
Columbus landed at Santo Domingo,
on his first voyage, he found a num-
er of red men seated around a hole
n the ground drawing smoke into
Ifheir mouths from a mass of glow-
ing embers, each through his own
little wheatstraw. This is all cob-
webs, moonshine and fakery.
At Simancas there is a parch
ment, now yellow with the cen-
turies that have passed over its
slumbers, which tells the true story.
The parchment is written in ex-
cellent Hebrew script and bears the
signature of Abraham Senior and
the date June 18, 1487, just five
years before Columbus landed on
this side the Atlantic. Abraham
Senior was the financier of Queen
Isabella of Spain, and was not only
an honest man but one who loved
his own people well. He was the
Bleichroeder of his time. Bismarck
hated Bleichroeder hut could not
do without him. Queen Isabella
had no love for her Jewish banker |
either, but he was the most honest

which dressed itself in feathers,
painted its cheeks and wore much
and even overmuch gold and jew-
elry, especially jewelry. They were
masquerading and what they wore
were but disguises put on for the
occasion, for when the news spread
that strangers were arrived in ships
flying the Spanish flag, it was
thought they were troops come to
plunder and murder in the good old
way, and Abraham Senior's "exo-
dusters" had had a sufficiency of
that sort of thing on the other side
of the Atlantic and wanted no more
of it. Can we blame them?
Habiting themselves, then, as
Indians, these long established Jew
ish tobacco merchants of that period,
settled and doing business in Santo
Domingo, in Cuba and in Virginia
welcomed Columbus and those who
came after him, and out of the kind-
ness of their hearts, and also in the
way of business, and especially and
emphaticalh' in the way of business,
taught them how to smoke and how
to snuff and chew. How well their
descendants have known how to
keep on doing a profitable business
in tobacco has been history for over
four hundred years.

One of the most popular stores
tue state of Ohio, outside of those
n the larger cities, is that of J. A
Ress, at Canal Dover, of which the
accompanying illustration will give
a very fair idea. Although a com-
paratively small place, the success
of Mr. Ress is proof beyond ques-
tion that a well-appointed establish-
ment can be profitably maintained
in even the smaller places.
Mx. Ress has long been a resident
of this town as a cigar manufacturer,
and a few years ago he conceived
the idea of establishing an up-to-
date retail department in connec-
tion with his business. Having
already secured a desirable location,
he immediately proceeded to equip
it in a modern manner, and has
given it every essential necessary to
insure comfort to his patrons and
Lthofough attractiveness in its ap-
pearance. The furnishings are all
of hard wood, consisting of counter
i
I and wall cases. The counters, as
! will he observed, are well filled
1 with show cases extending the full
length of the store. On the one
side are wall cases which are being
used for the display of tobaccos
and cigars, while on the other side
is a series of wall cases used for the
display of pipes, of which his line
is an extensive one.
The interior is prettily decorated,
and is illuminated with incan-
descent lights. In the rear of the
retail department is a packing and
shipping room, while on the upper
floors of the building are the main
work rooms. The domestic cigars
are nearly all of Mr. Ress' own
manufacture, including several
brands which have gained consider-
able popularity in his section of the ;
state. A small yet choice line of
higher grade goods is also oflfered
for the more fastidious connoisseur.

Pennsylvania Tobacco Growers in Council.
Special Meeting of the Lancaster County Tobacco Growers' Association — Interesting
Letters from Congressman Cassel and Prof. Whitney— Resolutions Oppos-
ing Tariff Tinkering Adopted Unanimously.
A special meeting of the Lancas
ter County Tobacco Growers' Asso-
ciation was held in G. A. R. Hall,
Lancaster, on Tuesday afternoon,
December 24. President B. Ezra
Herr occupied the chair, and Capt.
J. R. Bricker, of Lititz, was chosen
secretary pro tern.
President Herr outlined the ob-
ject of the meeting, to take action
in relation to the proposed removal
by Congress of the tariff on Cuban
tobacco, and then read the follow- I
ing letter from Congressman H.
Burd Cassel: j
Mr. Cassel's Letter. i
The Tobacco Growers' A-Mniation of
Lancaster County:
Gentlemen: At the suggestion of ^
^r. M. L. Greider, a member of I
^our Association, I called yesterday |
upon Mr. Wilson, Secretary of
Agriculture. After discussing with
him fully the matter of the raising
of tobacco in Pennsylvania, and
especially in Lancaster County, he
referred me to Mr. Whitney, Chief
of the Division of Soils. Mr. Whit-
ney was not in, but I discussed the
matter with his secretary for an
hour or more with the result of re-
ceiving from Mr. Whitney a letter
which I beg to enclose herewith. I
find that the department is very
anxious to experiment in the raising
of tobacco and is desirous of making
the crop a profitable one in our
county. The officials here, how-
ever, feel that our soil is better
adapted for the growing of filler to-
bacco than any other. I have ar-
ranged with the Department to se-
cure quite a number of packages of
seeds of several kinds and shall be
pleased to receive your suggestions

as to the distribution of the same.
If you will direct me as to your
further wishes in reference to this
matter, I shall be very much pleased
to do what I can to promote them,
or if you will appoint a committee
to come down here and act with
me in going to the Department I
shall be glad to cooperate with
them.
I want to assure you that nothing
will be too much trouble to me to
serve the tobacco growers of Lan-
caster county.
Awaiting your further instruc-
tions, I beg to remain,
Yours very respectfully,
H. Burd Cassel.
Mr. Cassel was present at the
meeting although, when the above
letter was written, he did not ex
pect to be able to meet the tobacco
growers. The letter from Mr.
Whitney, above referred to, was as
follows :
Prof. Whitney's Letter.

Bureau of Soils,
Washington, D. C, Dec. 12, 1901.
H. Burd Cassel.
Sir: I regret very much that I
did not see you when you called,
and I shall hope to meet you in the
near future.
We have done a great deal of
work in the tobacco districts of
Pennsylvania. Last year we made
a soil survey and map of about 270
square miles in the heart of Lan-
caster county. This map, with the
accompanying report, will be pub-
lished probably in February. This

A glorious year was 1901 for the
leaf trade and lor the cigar industry.
If 1902 is as good a year every-
body will have reason to be satisfied.
The cigar industry was unpre-
cedently active throtighout the
entire twelve months of 1901. More
cigars were made than were made
in 1900, and that was a record year.
The manufacturers of little cigars
had also a remarkably prosperous
year. The short smoke, "all to
bacco," is gaining in favor all the
time, and nianufaclurers are con-
stantly learning how to improve
both the quality and the workman-
ship of their branJs.
The manufacturers of chewing
and smoking tobaccos, and the
manufacturers of snufF have the
same reason to be pleased with the
rf<'ord made in 1901 as their brother
manufacturers of the big cigar and
the little cigar.
The paper cigarette alone shows
a decrease in the total outptit, yet
it is undeniable that the higher
grades of Turkish cigarettes are
finding a larger sale every day.
Your confirmed cigarette smoker
IS, after all, the most fickle of all
the devotees of the weed. He shifts
from brand to brand and is disloyal
i to each. This is his character not
i
only here at home in the United
States but in Europe as well. He
'■ loves his cigarette, just as passion-
1 ately as your cigar smoker loves
his cigar, but with a difference.
' There are smokers of cigars who
have remained loyal to one brand
j for a life time. Cigarette smokers
j try every brand and many of them
tire of cigarettes altogether, or are
weaned from them for the little cigar,
the real cigar or the pipe.
But even if the public that adheres
to the paper wrapped cigarette is
growing smaller the manufacturers
who cater to this public are giving
more and more thought and care to
the quality of the tobacco and the
workmanship of their product and
it is now an admitted fact that
OF The Tobacco World,
Slip, New York, Dec. 31, 1901.
certain brands of so called Turkish
or Egyptian cigarettes manufac-
tured in New York, Philadelpliia
and Chicago are in every way
superior to the best that the man\i
facturers of Cairo are able to turn
out.
H, Duys, Jr., has secured the
services after January i, of John A.
Kinney, one of the most successful
and popular Sumatra salesmen in
the United States. To his hosts ot
friends throughout the country,
Mr Kinney is affectionately known
as "Jack" Kinney. He will repre-
sent H. Duys, Jr. in Pennsylvania
and in Baltimore.
Howard Kinney, "Jack" Kin-
ney's younger brother, has beenwi'h
Mr. Duys throughout 1901, as his
representative in the West. H-«
total sales of Sumatra during th it
time aggregate over 1 100 bales.

turned on December 23 from a two
weeks' visit to his trade in Provi-
dence, Boston, Haverhill, Man-
chester, N. H., and Portland, Me.
His firm's "Ketchem" cigarrosj are
very popular in the East which is
a great country for the "short
smoke"
This brand is being advertised in
a novel and original manner in this
city, and the retail store of New- j
man Bros. & Co., is rapidly be-
coming one of the best known es-
tablishments of its kind on East
23d street.
The steamer Philadelphia of the
Red D line arrived from San Juan,
P. R., on December 24, with 235
cases of cigars, and 54 cases of ci
gars and cigarettes. The consignees
are: The American Tobacco Co.,
32CS cigars and 54CS cigars and ci-
garettes; George W. Sheldon & Co.
j (for Chicago importers), 35CS ci
I gars; The American- West Indies

over 1 ,000,000 cigars.
Another steamer is due from San
Juan early next week.
The "Rameses" brand of Egypt-

"We shall then make the world
our market."
This is an extract from a very
timely little brochure just issued by
Y. Pendas & Alvarez to mark th«
thirty fifth anniversary of the ex-
istence of the house as manufac-
turers of clear Havana cigars, and
occurs in the introductory remarks.
The entire sentence, which has a
prophetic ring to it, reads as follows:
"We also feel it opportune at this
time for us to say, in view of the
uncertainty of the political futur^
of Cuba, and also of the possibility
of a change in the tariff between
that island and the United States,
that when the situation indicates to
us the advisability of such a course
we shall reopen our factory in Cuba:
and as our brands are well known
throughout various parts of Europe,
we shall then make th; world ou:
market."
In the meantime the fastidiou
smokers of the United States wh(
for over a quarter of a century have
smoked the excellent cigars pro-
vided by this sterling house, will
continue to be thankful for its well
known brands: "La Mia," "Web-
ster," "Farragut," "La Industrial
"Maravillas" and others.
As a piece of bookmaking the
brochure far exceeds in tastefulness
and in the quality of its reading
matter anything of a like kind that
has hitherto been attempted. The
cover of dark gray is adorned with
the figure of a knight, all in silver,
and heavily embossed, holding aloft

Clear Havana Filler 5-Cent Cigar
Our Specialty.
The year just closed will be a
memorable one in the cigar and to-
bacco trade of this country, not
only to those identified with the
trade in this city, but elsewhere as
well. It has been a record break-
ing year in point of output, ex-
ceeding nicely that of last year.
This, however, only goes to show
the possibilities of greater expan
sion. The present week has been,
in fact, spent largely in reviewing
the business of the past year, and
possibly in still further formulating
plans to be followed during 1902.
That Philadelphia has become
one of the greatest cities in the
country for modern cigar stores is
pretty well known, and while the
list of such establishments is quite
lengthy it is being added to at fre-
quent intervals, but whether new
or old, the establishments of this
city are giving more attention to
the manner of display. Notable
among these during the past week
was that of A. C. Valentin, at 19th
and Ridge avenue, the decorations
of which were among the most
handsome we have yet seen, and
which will be more fully described
I at a later opportunity.
I As was recorded exclusively in
'these columns some weeks ago, F.
B. Robertson, factory representative
of the "Match It" cheroots, has
opened office headquarters at 1129
i Ridge avenue. The establishment
is not being operated for the purpose
of supplying the trade with its goods
direct, but merely for the local
manager's headquarters and for dis-
play purposes. The opportunities
I in the display line of this particular
store are very excellent, and that
they are being fully taken advantage
of is quite evident from the fact that
this week's window displays are
something really artistic. Of cours:;,
Manager Robertson has displayed
only the "Match It" cheroots and
! "Bar- None" little cigars, both of
I which are manufactured by his
house, but notwithstanding he has
made a good job of it, and is deserv-
ing of this mention.
The announcement that the Wil-
son & McCauley Tobacco Co., at
Middletown, O., has been absorbed
by the Continental Tobacco Co. has
been accepted with grace, but it is
known to be a fact that several
representatives of large houses,
whose headquarters are in this city
are becoming somewhat alarmed,
and feel that their establishments
may also in the near future be
turned over to the big company —
and then ? Whether these fears are
well founded the writer, of course,
is not in a position of knowing, but
rumor has it that an option has been
•ecured on the Nail & Williams
factory.
The police officials of this city
have at last in their custody one
who is accused of cigar factory
robbery. He is John Queeny, who
was captured by cigar manufacturer
W. C. Becker, aided by a policeman
of his district, on Friday evening.
It happens that Mr. Becker has a
private burglar alarm connected
with his factory located on North
Ninth street, near Girard avenue,
and running to his retail store and
residence at 925 Girard avenue.
About ten o'clock that evening the
burglar alarm went oflF, showing
that some one was effecting an
entrance into his factory. Accom-
panied by his friend (a Smith &
Wesson) he proceeded to the factory
with little delay. The prisoner
was standing outside of the fac-
tory but tried to escape by hiding
under a railroad car, of which there
are usually some along the railroad,
but was finally captured. Subse-
quent investigation showed that
while (Jueeny was watching on the
outside a "pal" had gone in to rob
the place, but being surprised bv
the sudden ringing of the alarm, a,?',
the quick arrival of the owner, had
made his escape by means of a rear
window. There have been lately
many cases of cigar robberies in
this city, and it is just probable
that yueeny may be a much wanted
individual.

to his friends a secret key as a token
of appreciation of their trade.
Under close scrutiny, however, this
key was found by the Paragrapher
to be a lead pencil. Regarding the
trade, Mr. Dalton has just divulged
the fact that their new "Publico"
clear Havana cigar, which was but
a recent acquisition to his stock,
has been selling at a phenomenal
rate. The first lot which had been
sent, twenty thousand cigars, were
disposed of in less than twelve days,
a remarkable record for a piece of
clear Havana imported goods in
Philadelphia.
There is very little change of
salesmanship among the cigar trade
of this city this year. J. W. Madi-
son, who was a caller here recently,
has taken the account of Trujillo &
Co., manufacturers of clear Havana
goods. He was accompanied on
his initial visit in the interest of his
new firm by Quintin Lopez Tru-
jillo.
T. J. Dunn & Co., of this city,
have secured for the new year Wm.
Bache, formerly with Hirschhorn,
Mack & Co., of New York city,
and Otto Erdt, who was formerly
with a local Philadelphia house.
The firm's southern representative,
Walter E. James, and Gerson J.
Brown, of Chicago, 111., have been
spending the past week at the fac-
tory headquarters here. By the
way, the engagement of Gerson J.
Brown to Miss Minna Snellenberg
has just been announced.
A. Sar-Alvarez, of the Sar-Al-
varcz Cigar Co., spent several days
in this city last week. A meeting
of the Sar-Alvarez Cigar Co. was
held at Camden, N. J., on Saturday
last, resulting in the re-election of
the present officers, which are,
President, A. Sar-Alvarez, Vice-
President, P. F. Pipitone; Secretary,
C. Earle Miller, and Treasurer, N.
B. Kneass Brooks.
A new brand of Turkish cigar-
ettes has been recently launched in
this city and is now gaining popu-
larity. The brand is "Moscow's
Cigarettes No. i," manufactured
by M. Kaufman & Co., ^^04 South
Filth street, put up in five and ten
cent packages. The goods are
being distributed through the job-
bing trade, with which the firm is
-tpen tor communications.
^ Sympathy is expressed for Juan
B. Creagh, who on Monday last
buried a daughter, Miss Marie del
Carmen (Carmita) Creagh.
John E. Dahms, well known to
the cigar trade in this city, died
last week at the German Hospital,
as a result of an operation for ap-
pendicitis.
A new cigar factory will be
established at 137 Market street
within a few days, to be known as
the El Basco Cigar Co., the princi-
pals of which will be Louis Bacha
rach, associated with H. K. Strauss.
Mr. Strauss has been for some time
located at Fifth and Jefferson streets.
The three upper stories of the prem-
ises on Market street are to be occu-
pied by the new firm.
J. Pierce Flowers, Manager of
the Eastern Division, including
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mary-
land, Delaware and District of
Columbia, of the Lovell & Buffing-
ton Tobacco Co., Covington, Ky.,
leaves this city for factory head-
quarters on Friday of this week,
and will spend several days there
going over the plans for an energetic
campaign during 1902, during
which time "Old Congress Navy"
plug and "Bull Dog" twist are to
be made the strongest sellers in this
section, and we believe that the
undertaking can be left in no
safer hands than those of J. Pierce
Flowers.
The Tobacco World Is in re-
ceipt of its usual press ticket en-
titling it to the privileges of the
Philadelphia Bourse, including the
use of the exchange floor, news-
paper rooms, commercial library
and commercial club rooms in the
gallery. This department of the
Bourse, under the management of
Secretary Emil P. Albrecht, has
been a gratifying success. The
Tobacco World, as well as hun-
dreds of other papers, are always
on file at the Commercial Library
of the Bourse.
Ventura Blanco, accompanied by
his nephew Joseph Blanco, will
leave for Cuba about the 12th inst., i
and may remain two months.

city, has been visiting the trade
here recently.

For the first time in many years
i Frank Teller & Co. will continue
operations without interruption this
year, not even closing down for a
suflficient length of time to take
stock. Mr. Teller informed the
Paragrapher that advance orders
with them have been extremely
heavy this year, and that the pros-
pects for the new year are brighter
I than ever. Stock-taking will be
conducted while the factory is in
operation.
I E. G. Steane & Co. are making
' exterior improvements to their new
premises at Tenth and Chestnut
streets. The interior is also being
thoroughly renorated, and some ad-
ditional show cases are being put
into place.
Pent Bros. & Coleman Co. say
that their 1231 Chestnut street store
has been an excellent success. The
results obtained there during the
time it has been in operation have
far exceeded their most sanguine
expectations. This store is said to
be in a more flourishing condition
than ever before.
John H. Van Horn, at 203 Chest- '
nut street, is now completing ar-
rangements for an active business
during 1902, and is preparing to
launch several new and attractive!
brands in the near future.
%^
Manufacturers desiring the ser-
vices of a salesman well acquainted
with the trade and accustomed to
handling a good line of goods, will
perhaps find an opportunity if they
will look up the special notice ad-
vertisement over the address of
Carrier 776, Philadelphia.
The highly satisfactory manner
in which the business of 1901
wound up with Messrs. Duncan &
Moorhead, perhaps better known
as the " Marcello" people, has
prompted them to continue on pre-
cisely the same lines during 1902,
and the "Marcello" will be the
leader for at least another year.
IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
George Zohn, of Leona & Co.,
London, Eng., is spending this
week among the trade in this city.
Mr. Soverhill, the well-known
Wisconsin tobacco packer, is also
among our visitors this week.
Young & Newman have secured
the services of M. H. Beck to repre-
sent them in the west after January
first.
The one thousand case Wisconsin
transaction which was referred to
last week has been consummated.
The purchase was made by the
Theobald & Oppenheimer Co., of
this city. Another transaction of
nearly equal proportions in Penn-
sylvania broad leaf has also just
been consummated in this market.
Dotts & Keely, who have been
during the past year at 163 North
Second street, will remove their
office to their warehouse at 148
North Second street.
Among the week's visitors were
Charles Waxelbaum, of A. Cohn
& Co , New York; Isaac Myer, of
Isaac Myer & Co., New York; I.
Kemper, of M. Kemper & Sons,
Baltimore, Md.; Morris Rosenthal,
of M. Rosenthal & Co., J. Gust
Zook, and C. W. Bitner, all of Lan-
caster, Pa.
M. Rosenstein will again be the
representative of A. Paaos & Co.,
of New York, and will leave on an
extended western trip about the
15th of the month.
%^
D. E. Salomon, of W. Ditten-
hoefer & Co., leaves to night for
New York State, to introduce to
the trade there this firm's new sales-
man, Mr. Lambert. Mr. S. maybe
gone two or three weeks.

CALENDARS.
This year's receipt of calendars
at the office ot The Tobacco
World, was unusually heavy.
Among the first to be received was
that of Sutter Bros., New York— a
exquisite specimen of engrav^-r'a
art. The design embodies a grow-
ing tobacco plant on one side, and
on the other a carot of Havana to-
bacco crossing a hand of domestic
leaf, above which is the lettering
in white, "Sutter Bros., New York,
Chicago, St. Louis, and Havana."
At the bottom is the calendar proper,
in monthly removable sheets. The
color is dark brown, with the white
Utters and figures standing out in
bold relief.
L. J. Sellers & Son, cigar box
manufacturers at Sellersville. Pa,.,
have also issued a fine one. It isJ a
piece of open embossed work. Tin
rich coloring, making a really har Jd-
some appearance. Their "ad" /is
set neatly and is quite attractive.)

The leaf market this week is cer-
tainly on the qui vive. Perhaps
little effort has been made to do
much business inasmuch as the
dealers' time is taken up in stock
taking. Prospects are said to be very
fair and we hope to find the new
year started in excellent shape.

Little Lives of the Great,
Bknno Neuhbroer.
There is much more in this young
man than meets the eye. What
meets the eye is his mustaches —
the biggest that ever happened.
Benno Neuberger was born in
Germany, but has long since atoned
for the crime by strict attention to
business in America and Holland
He is supposed to be a tobacco
merchant, but that is base slander.
He is an art connoisseur. That's
what he is. In Paris he buys
ivories; in Amsterdam Deli My H's
(whatever they are) and in New
York he is a regular patron of
Tyson's.
When he isn't pursuing Art he
may be found at an infant asylum
up in Morrisania playing with
motherless babies or getting bankers
to subscribe to the asylum funds.
A. COHN.
This gentleman is the noblest ex
ponent of the Double Life in Water
street. In New Yor'i he is a mer
chants, and the biggest kind of a
merchant, and down South he is a
farmer — the farmiest kind of a
farmer. He plays both roles with
equal Success. He is as much at
home in his bookkeeper's office, or
in Charley Waxelbaum's sample
room as he is in a 500 acre tent
grown tobacco patch down South.
What he don't know about making
one dollar bring in two, or about
coaxing wrapper leaf to grow like
Jonah's Gourd isn't worth printing
He is the soul of benevolence and
the personification of Napoleonic
reticence — when it doesn't suit him
to talk.

QUEEN CITY NEWS.
Cincinnati, Dec. 30, 1901.
A resume of the passing year dis-
closes the fact that the trade has
gone through many changes during
this period. The formation of the
American Cigar Company and other
combinations have produced a con-
siderable vari tion in the tactus
both of the manufacturers and job-
bers. The "gratis deals" were one
of the results, and they in turn have
induced price cutting among the
retailers. What the coming year
has in store is, of course, only prob-
lematical, but the pace is getting
rapid now.
The week, since the holiday, has
been a very quiet one. There art
no traveling men in town, none 01
the local men are out, and there arc
no auction sales on the breaks.
The retailers are resting up, and tht
whole trade is taking stock. Aftei
the first, however, things will again
be up and doing.
Straus Bros. & Co. have taken
on a new clear Havana brand called
' ' La Tarifa, • ' which they will handle
in three sizes. It is made by the
A. Gutierrez Co., and is a very
promising cigar. Newt. Straus
states that although it is just being
introduced its merits are being
I quickly recogni/.ed by discriminat-
ing smokers.
Henry Straus, in speaking of the
various deals which their firm made
during the past year, said: "All the
deals we tried were eminently suc-
cessful. Since November i none
have been in force and we will in-
augurate no new scheme until, per-
haps, March i What the nature
of that will be I do not know, since
we have not yet decided. Charles
Straus will leave for New York
some time next month to confer
with our manufacturers on the
subject."

A call at Peebles showed the cigai
department in a condition greatly
resembling dinner after the attacks
of a hungry man. Mr. Winall, the
head of the retail department, stated
that in all his experience with that
house he never saw such a rush for
't high class goods as during the re-
cent holiday season. This is only
one of many similar utterances from
' all our prominent retailers.
The cigar leaf men are quiet. The
almost universal expression of the
trade against any change in the
tariflf on Cuban tobacco has made
them hope that no change will be
wrought. Speaking on the matter,
Mr. Frei, of Daly & Frei, said: "I
think that if the cigar leaf dealers
and cigar manufacturers of this
country, conjointly and as organ-
ized bodies, handed their views to
Congress it would have some
weight Individual opinions of
three or four will not accomplish
the results, but joint action on part i
of the dealers and manufacturers,
berau>e their interests are identical,
will produce a much better affect."
There is very little country buy-
ing of the 1 90 1 crop being done.
The reason for this is the very high
prices the growers are asking for it.
With a possible reduction of the
tariflf on Havana staring them ;in
the face, packers can't quite see the
benefit in buying at these advanced
prices.
Mose Eisenberg, the broker, re-
s turned last week from a lengthy
stay among his customers. He
visited Detroit, Chicago and a num-
ber of other prominent places in the
west.
Mose Krohn, of the Miami Valley
Leaf Tobacco Co., of this city, and
Dayton, is interested in the , 'new
process of cultivating tobacco under
shade, and is a director in the com-
pany recently organized to carry on
experiments in shade culture. I
i W. W. Bozman has prominently'
displayed in his window this week,
the silver loving cup which was
ofiFcred as first prize at the recent
automobile races held in this city.
It is attracting considerable atten
tion from those interested in this
new sport.
Frank Ray, formerly connected
with the tobacco manufacturing
plant of Paul Sorg, in Middletown,
and now a prominant official in the
Continental Tobacco Co., is in Mid
dletown, from New York. The
object of his visit is understood to
be to take a survey of the Wilson
& McCally plant in Middletown.
The plant was reported to have been
bought by the Continental Tobacco
Co., last week. However, the deal
has not been completed as yet. The
matter of price has not been deter-
mined. It is the impression that
the Continental is willing to take
the factory at a certain price, agree
ble to Wilson & McCally, provided
their business is as it has been repre-
sented to be. To find this out is
the mission of Mr. Frank Ray to
Middletown.

That mysterious- looking Christ
mas package delivered by the ex
pressman to D. A. Shriever & Go's
place, proved to be none other than
genuine "high balls" in their
original state. But as there are some
connoisseurs in Mr. Shriever's
neighborhood, we know the gift
proved entirely satisfactory. Suf-
fice it to say they have had frequent
callers, some of whom attribute their
red appendages to "severe colds."
An overheated stove pipe caused

Schroll employs a number of hands,
and the destruction of his factory
would have been indeed a loss to
that town.

The business will be continued n
the old factory, 729 to 735 Ea ?

is every reason to believe that th>
new company will soon have every
thing in thorough working order
and that it will lose no time ir;
promptly taking up the busine.s.-
where it was left when the Warner

It will be remembered that mucl.
credit was given to Chas. A. Warner

IN THE TOBACCO CAPITAL
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Lancaster, Pa., Dec 28, 1901.
The closing week of the year has
been a quiet one. But this is noth-
ing more than was to be expected.
It has given all an opportunity of
conducting their stocktaking with
little or no interruption, and wheii
that is completed dealers will be
ready to begin the new year with
more activity than would otherwise
Me the case. There is every pros-
pect of an early resumption, besides
dealers see no reason why trade
should not be good.
There was some little buying of
the new crop during the past week,
at prices ranging from 6 to S^-c for
Seed Leaf and 11 to 15c through
for Havana Seed.
At the meeting of the Lancaster
county Tobacco Growers' Associa-
tion, held on Tuesday last, resolu
tions wereadopted protesting against
any tariff changes.
Leaf auction sales, it seems, are
not propitious in this city. At least
the results of the B. B. Gonder sale,
which was to consist of about 500
cases, and which was held at the
Stevens House on the 19th inst.,
did not prove much of a success
Out of the entire lot only about 60
cases were sold. They were of^
lower grade fillers, and were pur
• chased by a local dealer at $6 sS^-^
! per 100 pounds. With this excep j
tion, the whole lot was withdrawn, i
the highe.st bid received having been
only $ 1 1. 15 per 100 pounds. |
Joseph Goldberg, of the leaf firm
of Kramer & Goldberg, of this city,
met with an accident that might
have proven a serious personal
injury. While driving through the
country an axle of his buggy broke,
and Mr Goldberg threw a robe over
his horse intending to ride him to
the nearest town. Not used to be
ing ridden, the horse threw his
rider, and although rendered un-
conscious, his injuries fortunately,
were only bruises and a sprained I
wrist.

THE TOBACCO WORLD
MAKE, MORE.
^^ MONEY ^^
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 lit, "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 bv a circular knife
which is easy to keep sharp, and there are
no dies or anything else in the way of the

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
adiusting 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 oftkes.

during the Christmas holidays, de-
liveries of the 1900 crop of Zimmer
have been dropping in right along
and at the present rate of activity
among buyers but a short time will
be required to clean up this crop
entirely. Competition for several
fancy crops forced the price above
the normal quotations, loc through
having been realized in occasional
j instances.
The cold weather of last week has
j given way to a thaw, thus enabling
i farmers to resume stripping, and in
some sheds to take down more to
' bacco. So far two cigar manufac
turing concerns have each con
traded for a small quantity of the
' new Zimmer, and a third has signi
fied his intention of doing likewise
The crop is considered equal to the
best grown in years, and by the time
stripping becomes general wholesale
buying will doubtless be inaugurated.

THE TRADE IN READING.
Reading, Pa., Dec. 30, 1901.
Never before have the leading ci
gar manufacturers in Reading been
so busy around the holidays as this
year. In fact, there has been a
boom here. Many firms will not
follow their usual custom of shut-
ting down their factories around the
first of the year, but will work
right on until late in January, before
they take their inventories. Most
of the smaller factories, however,
will close down from a week to ten
days. The outlook for 1902 is all
that can be expected. Many of the
manufacturers have extended their
business to wider fields, and have
enough orders on hand to keep them
busy until early spring.
George H. Yocum, Chicago
representative of Yocum Bros., this
city, is in Reading for a week. He
reports the cigar business as being
brisk in his district, and his reports
show a gain in the sale of the firm's
product over the year previous.
E. G. Readinger is better satisfied
I right on running during the holi-
days They are pushed with orders
I and it will be some time before they
I can shut down, as is their usual
custom . Mail orders are constantly
coming in from entirely new fields
the result of a trip through the
west by Daniel Fleck, one of the
members of the firm.
John U. Fehr, wholesale and
retail tobacco merchant, is pleased
with his past year's labors, and says
he never enjoyed better prosperity.
The output of his factory exceeds
that of the previous year, and sales
in all branches of the business were
good.
George H. Grebe, formerly of
Philadelphia, has engaged in the
cigar box business at 45 47 Reed
street, this city, and expects to
start up his factory about January
ist. The newest and latest ma-
chinery, ordered some time ago, has
arrived and is now being placed in
po.sition. Mr. Grebe has over 5,000
square feet of floor space in his
factory.
Sam Hantsch, 4th and Penn
with the present conditions of trade 3^,^^^^ manufacturer of stogies and
than ever he was since in business
4
i
The output of his factory this year
also of higher grade cigars, is kept
quite busy hustling in the interests
doubled that of last, and his goods ' ^f ^is candidacy for the office of
are being shipped all over the state
Tom Moore, 5th and Penn streets,
has one of the prettiest holiday
windows in Reading, and makes a
gorgeous display of the leading
nickel and ten cent brands. The
"El Rocco," and "Pathfinder,"
are his leading sellers.
Hildebrand Bros, enjoyed a fair
trade the past year, and their factory
has been running steady for some
time. They placed a new brand on
the market called the "Colonial
Orator," of which Charles W.
Potteiger, 6th and Washington
streets, is the distributer.
Howard G. Gettis. 1012 Green
street, manufacturcrof the "Meadow-
Side," states that he will have
several new brands on the market
after the first of the year. His
business is rapidly growing and
larger quarters will soon be neces-
sary.
The Penn Cigar Co., 838 Chest-
nut street, closed down its factory
on Tuesday, December 24th, and
will begin operations again the first
Monday in January, Business has
been very brisk the past year and
the firm feels ) much encouraged
over the outlook for the future.
They have plenty of orders on hand
to keep the factory running, their
main reason for closing down being
to take an inventory of stock.
There have been large sales of their
"Wyoming Elk." The firm is
looking around for more suitable
quarters, their present factory being
entirely too small.
The Fleck Cigar Co. will keep
Select Councilman in the Fourth
Ward, on the Republican ticket.
Sam feels sure of success, but says
if elected, he will not allow the
duties of the office to interfere with
his cigar business. The advertising
methods employed by him are
original, and one of them, a small
card, reads: "Vote for Bald Headed
Sam," and has his portrait in the
centre.
The firm of Blachman & Nagle
moved their factory from 128 to 1 16
North 9th street. Their new head-
quarters are better adapted for
cigar making purposes, and a
change was necessary owing to their
steady increase in business the past
year.
Lengel & Ernst, are making a
specialty of holiday goods arranged
in neat packages. Their new brand,
the "Floradelphia," is meeting with
much success. The firm is dis-
tributing a combination cigar cutter
and match box among its customers
which is handsome in design and
will be greatly appreciated.
A busy cigar factory is that
operated by C. L. Scheffler, 150
North 8th street. The owner makes
a specialty of the "Ideal" and
"Royal Mystery" nickel brands,
and will place several new ones on
the market after January iit. Mr.
Scheffler has discontinued manufac-
turing his "Shad," a nickel brand
which enjoyed a good local trade.
Allen A. Wolfskill, who loit both
legs on the P & R. Railroad some
time ago, has started up a cigar
store at Orange and Muhlenberg

i
streets, and his success has been re-
markable. He handles all the
latest brands, and has fitted out his
place in a handsome manner. The
sympathy of the public, and especi-
ally his neighbors, seems to be with
him, and his business the past
month has doubled that of the pre-
vious one.
John G. Spatz & Co. were very
busy during the past year and report
the business entirely satisfactory.
There has been a marked increase
in the business compared with that
of last year, and especially has this
been the case on fine goods. The
outlook for 1902 is good from a
business standpoint, as the country
is in a prosperous condition.

A Cat that Smokes and Drinks.
Farmer William Thompson, of
Glenwood, Susquehanna Co., Pa,,
is reported to possess a remarkable
cat, which came to his house one
stormy night more than a year ago.
After a time Thomas evinced a
strange fondness for the smoke that
his protector puffed from his cigars,
and would spring on his lap and
inhale the smoke, apparently with
much enjoyment.
For a joke, a cigar was put into
the cat's mouth one night, and, to
the astonishment of the hotisehold,
the cat puffed away with evident
enjoyment. There was only one
drawback to his success. His teeth
were so sharp that they bit off the
end of the cigars.
Farmer Thomas had a wooden
cigar-holder made for Thomas, and
now they smoke together. The cat
has also learned to drink beer.

Distribution of Samples.
A manufacturer has been advised
that unstamped subdivisions, either
of tobacco or cigars, can not be
separated from the stamped package
until after removal from the factory,
and that neither manufacturers nor
dealers can transmit unstamped to
bacco or cigars through the mails
except at the risk of having the same
forfeited.
Stamping Cigarettes and Small Cigars.
The Commissioner has ruled that
manufacturers must use one of the
two methods of stamping authorized
or statutory packages of cigarettes
J and small cigars weighing not more
than three pounds per thousand,
either the stamp must be aflfixed so
as to seal the package, making it
impossible to open the same with-
out breaking the stamp, or affixed
to the side of the box and canceled
by the manufacturer writing or im
printing thereon, in a plain and
legible manner, the factory number
and the date of cancellation.

Snnf Manufacturers' Premises.
A manufacturer, who requested
permission to grind his tobacco
stems and prepare his raw tobacco
in a building not included in his
bonded premises, was advised that
before he could remove his material
to these new premises he would be
required to qualify as a manufacturer
of tobacco at that place, and there-
after he could submit his material
to whatever process of manufacture
he desired, and that all raw snuff
and snuflF flour intended to be sub
jected to other processes of manu-
facture could be transfered from one
factory to the other factory under a
special permit to be issued by the
collector of internal Revenue, on
Form 100, as provided by Regula-
tions, No. 8 page 11. \
Use o[ Empty Cigar Boxes.
The Commissioner has lately had
occasion to again rule that emptied
cigar boxes, the stamps on which
have been destroyed or effaced in
such manner that the stamps can
not be used again, may be used by
dealers for the purpose of display-
ing the brand of goods which they
desire to advertise or sell. In this
connection attention is called to the
fact that when cigars are removed
from stamped packages, it is the
duty of the person who removes the
cigars to utterly destroy the stamp
affixed to the box, and if such per-
son wilfully neglects or refuses so
to do, he is subject to a fine and
imprisonment, as provided by
Section 3400 of Revised Statutes,
and under that section any revenue
officer may destroy any empty cigar
box upon which a cigar stamp is
found intact.
Special Tax Liability of Dealers.
The Commissioner has ruled that
a dealer in manufactured tobacco
continuing business in July and
whose sales for the preceding year
did not exceed 50,000 pounds of
manufactured tobacco, or its equi
valent in cigars or cigarettes, will
be required to make a return and
pay a special tax of $ ■ 2 whenever
his aggregate monthly sales during
the succeeding year exceed 50,000
pounds; but that he would not be
required to pay a 50 per centum
penalty on account of not making
his return and paying the tax in the
month of July; and if his aggregate
monthly sales during that special
tax year at any time exceed 50 000
pounds of manufactured tobacco,
or its equivalent in cigars, be is!
required to make a return and pay
a special tax at the rate of $1 per
month from the first day of the
month in which he commenced
business until the first day of July
following. I,
Allowance for Waste Material.
A manufacturer of smoking to
bacco and of cigars, who requested
permission to destroy a large quan
tity of waste material, was advised
that if this waste material is that
which accumulates at the factory,
and is unfit for manufacturing pur-
poses, being the refuse of leaf to
bacco, scraps, cuttings or clippings,
the manufacturer could not have
credit in his account for such ma
terial, as the »5 per cent, allowance ,
for stems and waste to manufacturers
of tobacco includes the waste ma-
terial accumulating from manufac-

Cigar Manufacturers' Inventories.
The Commissioner has ruled that 1
although manufacturers made a i
special inventory on July i, 1901,
for the six months ending June 30th, i
they will be required to make an
inventory January i, 190 1. for the
six months ending December 31st, I
thus completing their record for the
year 1901. Owing to the change!
in taxes July ist, Form 70b has I
been revised so that a manufacturer
may inventory each class of cigars j
and each class of cigarettes properly. '
Manufacturers will be required to '
report specifically the weight of
their cigars and cigarettes per thou-
sand, according to each class;
whether unstamped cigarettes weigh-
ing not more than three pounds per
thousand are intended to be sold at
the wholesale price of more than $2
per thousand, would make no differ
ence, as all unstamped cigarettes of
each class will be inventoried ac
cording to their weight. There is
no provision for inventorying ci
gars or cigarettes that have been
stamped and tax paid. The unat
tached stamps on hand January ist,
for payment of tax on cigarettes at
the rate of *^i.o8 per thousand,
must be inventoried separately from
the stamps representing tax at the
rate of 54 cents per thousand.
M«nufacturing Cigars Outside of Factory
Premises.
The Commissioner has denied the
request of a firm of cigar manufac
turers for authority, owing to atem
porary rush of business, to have
cigars manufactured for them in
near by factories of other manu-
facturers, but to market such cigars
under their own label and factory
number, holding that cigar factories
operated in one district must be
consecutively numbered and the
numbers can not thereafter be
changed; that two factories can not
be embraced and operated under
the same factory number, and each
factory must be provided with a
store room, work shop and packing
room, independent of any other
factory; that the desire to place the
cigars on the market as though they
were manufactured within their own

the cigar to a lover's ingenuity, !
rather than to the skill of that old
hag, Madame Necessity, who arro-
gates to herself the proud title of
"Mother of Invention."
The circumstances were these :
He was Juan de Alcantara, lieu-
tenant in King Philip's army in
Cuba, young and proud, and with
a head full of brains, but poor.
She was Inet de Rosas, the pretti-
est girl in Cuba, and sole child of
the richest man in the island. Inez
had suitors bythescore.each young,
handsome and brave, and most of
them of good substance. The time
was the fall of the year 1557; the
place the tobacco plantation of Se-
nor de Rosas, in the Pinar del Rio.
Unlike the average heroine of a
love story, who is usually a soft and
rather silly young woman, Inez de
Rosas was a particularly bright girl.
Of all her lovers, it was Juan de
Alcantara who had first place in
her heart. Yet she never permitted
him to guess it until she had satis-
fied herself by every test a modest Mr. Harry S

She did it in her own delightful

had explained the nature of the sig-
nal he had devised and had shown
her the still glowing roll of tobacco,
she took his head prisoner in the
embrace I have described at the
opening of my chapter of the Com-
ical History of Tobacco, and said:
"Darling, you are not only richer
than anyone else in Cuba, you are
richer than King Philip himself,
for you have given to the world
a novel and most welcome article
of commerce. You may kiss me
again."
Then, in a very pretty and clear
little speech on tobacco, its proper-
ties and its vogue, Inez went into
details. She sketched for her lover
a picture of the prosperity 'vhich
was certainly before both of them,
as the natural and sure outcome of

In fact, the writer considers paste
only a little less mussyand unsatis-
factory than the steam it is supposed
to prevent. Possibly as a make-
I shift it can be profitably adapted.
I It is but fair, however, to say that
I undoubtedly, in numerous instances,
the failure of this paste to work
well is due to imperfect and uneven
'spreading. Extreme care must be
exercised to see that every particle
of glass is smoothly and evenly
covered. If there is any efficacy in
the paste, it should at least have a
fair trial.
Another dealer says he has had
good success with continuously
burning gas jets. This method is
open to objection because of the
fact that the one thing necessary to
do is to prevent the warm air from
coming in contact with the glass.
If that could be done there would
be no difficulty of any kind, and
all this discussion would not be
needed. It would seem as though
gas jets would increase the difficulty
in two ways. They heat the air
immediately around them and cause
a current which tends upward, and
draws more air into the window
than would otherwise go there.
This would result in even more
moisture than when the air is still.
Possibly even these objections will
I be overcome by the heat. This is

Difficulti<;s In Conducting a Whole-
sale and Jobbing Business.
Among the most potent causes of
the comparatively unprofitable con-
dition of the wholesale and jobhitig
business in tobaccos, and which
brings about the general demoraliz
ation of prices, is the spirit of |
antagonism and animosity, coupled
with distrust and more or less mis
understanding. As to policy among
jobbers, the spirit ot the times would
warrant an association which should
adopt the motto of A Higher
Standard of Business Methods. It
seen s that heretofore jobbers, even
though located widely apart, have
regarded each other as arch enemies.
The policy has too frequently been
to try to destroy one another, one
house claiming the right of exist
ence for themselves only and using
all measures at their command to
destroy their competitors. In view
of this fact it is not hard to discover
why it is that so many houses have
found the wholesale and jobbing
business comparatively unprofitable.
It is true that various associations
have been formed for the avowed
purpose of remedying apparent de
fects in the methods of conducting
their business, but it seems that
every one of them has gone wide
from its mark. They have accom-
plished nothing, and in some in
stances a degree of even greater
animosity than before their forma-
tion was found to be existing You
may ask, "Can there be a possible
remedy? " to which we must reply.
Yes, but not so long as thtse asso-
ciations are invariably one-man af
ftirs, or to be more literal, con
trolled and domineered over by two
or three of their leading members,
who perhaps by reason of the by-
laws are given such control as to
make their position ambiguous.
An association of this kind, if de
signed for real good should be an
association for one and all of them,
and not for the benefit of a few who
may manage to secure its control.
Associations of this kind have at-
tempted to rule prices with a view
to securing to members a fair and
livable profit on the business done
But have they been a success? That
is a matter which it is indeed hard
to determine. If we have been
rightly informed there was not long

double their output. Their leading
brands are the "Pride of the Cafe,"
and "Cinq," and their leading ten-
cent cigar is the "Onda." Several
new brands will be placed on the
market in the spring.
Eighty millions of cigars are
made in this district every year, and
from the reports that have already
been received it is estimated that
the output for 1901 will show a
gain of not less than five millions
over the previous year. This is re-
garded as good, in view of the sharp
competition which exists in the
trade to day, owing to the cigar
combinations. Probably 3 500 men,
women and girls are employed in
this industry in Reading alone.
This makes it a factor in the labor
market, as they are run all the year
around, with no dull seasons.
Reading's cigars go largely towards
the west, and have a wide reputa-
tion for their workmanship, which
is equal to that of any cigar centre
in the country. The outlook is
bright for the new year, and, unless
there should be some radical tariflF

in order to secure the best leaf that
the market affords for their trade
Their large warehouses and vaults
are kept constantly filled.
There are many rumors of new
factories which may be opened here
early this spring. Half a dozen
New York and Philadelphia firms
were here looking for suitable sites
and three of them took options.
A canvass among a few of the
leading manufacturers showed these
sentiments as to the outlook for the
new year:
Yocum Bros, said: "We have
had a satisfactory trade in every
way. The outlook is promising."
M. Steppacher — "No complaint
at all to make for 1901. I believe
that 1902 will be still better."
E. E. Kahler— "My business the leaf tobacco dealers' license, alleg-
past year has been more than satis- 1 ing that it is unjust and oppressive
factory. The coming year looks
Samuel D. Dibert said: "Why
shouldn't the cigar trade be good?
Everybody is working and smoking.
Next year ought to be a good cigar
year."
John J. Roth — "My output was
doubled, and I am satisfied. Indi-
cations good for 1902."
Edward Ganter — "I built my new
three story factory in order to get
out the goods. My business has
tripled itself. No telling what it
might do in 1902."
Lengel & Ernst, one of the new
firms, say: "We have built up an
excellent trade which has more than
reached our expectations. This
year will no doubt be a good one,
judj^ing from the many orders al-
ready coming in."
Julius G. Hansen said: "Every-
body seems to be smoking lots of
cigars, and my year was a corker.
The indications for 190J are grati-
fying"
Other manufacturers expressed
similar views, and all join in wish-
ing the trade a prosperous New
Year. Pompey.

Cigarettes for the Rich.
English manufacturers of Turkish
cigarettes appear to find it profitable
to refine the boxes in which they
pack their product to the very limit.
For instance, N L. Savory & Co.,
of 59, Piccadilly, London, send out
their "Gold Tipped No. 2" brand
in a box fine enough for a diamond
necklace Itis covered with morocco
of a good quality and the top is
padded.
This brand finds a ready sale in
certain restaurants in New York
city much frequented by after the
theatre parties, and is eagerly de-
manded by many women who don't
smoke cigarettes, but who neverthe-
less carry home the pretty boxes for
use on their toilet tables.
Here is a hint for our American
manufacturers of Turkish cigarettes:
Pack your brands in as fine boxes as
the Englishmen use, or finer. There
is no doubt that they will find pur-
chasers among the rich and the gay.

A suit was begun in Court No. 2,

man, trading as Hoffman Bros., of
Marietta, Pa., against John A.
Brown, Esq., an ancillary admin
istrator of Walter G. Wilson, de
ceased, late trading as Walter G
I Wilson & Co. , of a claim set forth
that Hoffman Bros, sold to Walter
G. Wilson on July 19, 1901, a
quantity of tobacco, and that $4,
080.90 of the purchase price remains
unpaid. At the time the sale was
made it was alleged that the late
I Walter G. Wilson declared he was
worth more than $30,000 over and
above all claims against him, but
as a matter of fact he was not sol
i vent at that time. He died soon
a
afterwards, and the Hoffman Bros,
aver that they made a demand upon
John A. Brown, Esq., an ancillary
administrator of the estate, for the
return of the tobacco, but he ignored
the demand and sold the goods for .
the benefit of the estate.
E. A. Calves & Co. have just re-
ceived 17 sample bales of new Hav

report from secretary Milton Herold.
Among our first visitors in the
leaf trade this year was B. Regen-
berg, with Hinsdale Smith & Co.,

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The leaf market opened this week
with a fair volume of business with
both packers and dealers. Manu-
facturers are apparently in need of
new stock, which has resulted in
inquiry for various types of tobacco.
The prices all around have been
fully maintained.
Factories have nearly all resumed
operation, and once more the vari-
ous traveling men are in the harness
each endeavoring to produce results
for their principals that shall exeeed
in volume that of last year.
Havana of the new crop is now
beginning to arrive in sample lots,
but what has been examined of it
promised good results to manufac-
turers and fair remuneration to the
importers. No actual sales of this
new tobacco have as yet been re-
corded.
Sumatra has been selling in
small lots.

Little Lives of the Great,
S. Salomon
This is an extremely modest and
inoflFensive Citiien, yet a Perverse
fate has saddled him with the Nick-
name of Peacock.
His feet are shapely and of normal
Size, thank you, and there is noth-
ing either in his appearance or his
manners that suggests Queen Juno's
favorite bird. Neither is his voice
Unmusical, but on the contrary it
is mellow and of baritone timbre.
The Raiment he wears is never con-
spicuous; in short it would be im-
possible to imagine any man who
is less like a Peacock than this self-
respecting . gentleman . Neverthe-
less, no one ever refers to him other-
wise than Peacock Salomon.

say. But, then again, pourquois

m QUEEN CITY NEWS.
I Cincinnati, Jan. 4, 1902.
V During the past week the manu
J facturers have been very busy get-
f ting out their goveinment report,
and taking up stock. Work, of
course, was out of the question, but
with this week most of them will
be found running as usual again.
A. Davis Sons & Co. are putting
things in ship shape for a long siege
of heavy business, which they ex-
pect to do during the coming
months. Their traveling men are
getting ready to start out on a tour
through their territories.
One of the prettiest holiday favors
were distributed this year by Krohn
Bros. It came in the nature of a
I
very fine deck of cards, each card
bearing the reproduction of a build-
ing of the recent Paris Exposition.
No advertising marred the card,
only the box in which they came
bearing the business announcement
of Krohn Bros. It was a gift that
was highly appreciated by all who
received one.
A cigar that is being heavily ad
vertised via the bill-board route is
the "Louis Mann" cigar, made by
Stewart, Newburger & Co. The
lithograph represents Mr. Mann in
his famous character of Hans Nix
answering a telephone call. It is
being locally handled by B. H.
Kroger, the wholesale grocer.
Oscar Gassman, the local retailer
and j'obber, has taken on a new
clear Havana brand made by the
Cortez Cigar Co. It is the "Max
ime Elliott" brand. He has also
added Horace R. Kelly's "Flor de
Denbigh" to his stock. Both are
high grade cigars and are doing
well.
Although this is the time of
the year when price cutting is
generally resorted to, very little
of it has been apparent here. In
some drug store* you will see nickel
cigars advertised at six for a quarter,
but such stores are few and far be-
tween. In spite of the many gratis
deals retailers have not cut prices to
any extent. They have taken the
full benefit to themselves, as ought
to be. Retailers have been having
the best of the argument right along
and if they will only let away price
cutting will manage to make some
money. In this city the trade has
been very sensible right along, and
no demoralization has resulted.
Napoleon DuBrul, of Miller, Du
Brul & Peters, is making prepara-
tions for a lengthy business trip to
Europe on which he will start the
latter part of this month. The new
factory which this firm is erecting
is progressing satisfactorily and is
expected to be ready for occupancy
in the spring.

The auction sales of cigar leaf

cases and the Morris i case. Of
these 78 were Zimmer Spanish,
averaging $5 05; 29 Dutch, averag
ing $s 07; »o Northern Ohio, aver-
aging $10.46 and 5 Havana Seed,
averaging $16.15. The market
was good, an especially strong com-
petition presenting itself on the
medium grades of fillers and binders.
The good wrappers were fair as well
as the poorer stuff. The offerings
I of cigar leaf on the breaks last year
was almost double that of the year
before, amounting to 12,264 cases.

IN THE TOBACCO CAPITAL
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 7, 1902.
A fairly active market has opened
for the new year, which upon the
whole was quite satisfactory and
dealers are now convinced that the
prospects for this year are quite
bright. There has been some little
buying of the new crop at various
prices
J. E Sherts & Co. are now com-
fortably located in their new factory
at No I Tobacco Row, having
ample facilities for doing a much
larger business, which they are
quite sanguine of getting this year.
Weil & Seisel, leaf dealers of this
city, have dissolved.
M. Michaelis has leased the
Bunzl warehouse on East Fulton
street, and is now engaged in a
unique business. He employs
about one hundred girls and boys
to strip tobacco, which is booked
and padded ready for the cigar
factory or export purposes. He
has more orders for his leaf then he
is able to prepare and the business
is already promising much succtss.
H. H. Miller will putan additional
salesman on the road this year.

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 const.! nt 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 cu;ting 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 cbjeclion 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 glid 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.
When writing to us ask for booklet w. s.

While the situation regarding the
new crop is generally quiet in the
southern growing sections of the
state, the pleasant weather and fine
roads has given a temptation to ride
and buyers are nibbling again in a
moderate way. Their aim seems
likely to get better acquainted with
the merits of the tobacco, but sales
are being made by the dealers riding,
showing a growing disposition
among local packers at least to take
hold of the crop.
The conditions regarding old leaf
remain unchanged. There are
plenty of inquiries after samples
but trade is generally confined to
small lots to manufacturers. 1900
leaf is held at strong figures. F. S.
Baines sold an 86c3 lot during the
week.
The growers are progressing with
j their stripping where the crop has
been removed from the sheds and
in some instances this work is com-
pleted.

JANESVILLE. WIS.
There are no new developments
in the local leaf market. A few
buyers are riding, and now and then
a crop is picked up at prices that
have prevailed for some weeks past.
Buyers still complain that the
farmers are asking more than the
quality of the tobacco will warrant
them in paying, hence the small
number of purchases made.
Stripping is progressing rapidly
and some farmers have finished.
A few crops are delivered at the
warehouses each week and assort-
ing is being done in a mild way.
In old goods there is little change
to report. The demand is good
and even urgent, but sales are
limited, owing to the scarcity of
goods for sale. George M. Decker

Steam or Frost on Show Windows.
(Concluded from p. 7)
Moreover, in numerous trims an air
blast is very helpful in producing
surprising effects. There is no end
to the mechanical wonders which
can be produced in a window pro
vided with an air blast apparatus
In the summer attractive arrange
ments of fl<gs and decorative
streamers can be put in. creating no
end of diverting decorations While
these have no particular bearing
upon preventing frost, they are
mentioned merely to show that an
artifical ventilation system, which
keeps windows from steaming or
frosting in winter, is equally useful
in summer, and the expense should
be divided between the two seasons,
not charged wholly to one.
There is one old fashioned way of
preventing frosting, which is satis
factory. Keep the room so warm
that the giass will not condense
much moisture, and when it does
begin to collect wipe it oflf with a
soft cloth. This method has certain
merits not possessed by others I»
requires no special apparatus. The
articles used are always at hand,
and anyone can work them effec-
tively. The moisture will come
principally from the open door.
That is, when a customer enters a
flood of cold air will follow and will
condense the moisture in the inside
air until the inrushing gust is
warmed to the same temperature as
the room. If some of the steam
floats over to the window, wipe it
off. You are not too busy, as a
rule, and if you are designate some-
one else to do it. Your window
will be kept clear, and that is worth
considerable effort.
T^e Tobacco War In England.
Bad temper is beginning to show
in the great tobacco war for the con
trol of British trade between the
American Tobacco Co. and the
combination of British manufac-
turers, says a recent letter from
London. The British contestant is
beginningto indulge in personalities.
For several mornings now the lead-
ing firm in the British combine has
been coming out with illustrated ad-
vertisements in the papers, pictur-
ing the American eagle trying to
masquerade as the British lion, or
showing Uncle Sam biding behind
an imitation bulldog, while the real
thing in bulldogs looks on disdain-
fully. This morning we have John
Bull shooting the American eagle
full of holes, with appropriate text
above, describing the fate of foreign
invaders who come over to pose as
home industries.
The conflict is a huge joy to the
newspapers. One day this week
the whole nation was startled by a
blast of a full page in nearly every
leading London and provincial
paper, announcing that "Americans
whose markets are closed by pro-
hibitive tariffs against British goods
have declared their intention of
monopolizing the tobacco trade of
this country. It is for the British
public to decide whether British
labor, capital and trade are to be
subordinate to the American system
of trust monopoly and all that is im-
plied therein."
The advertisement appeared in
about a hundred newspapers, and it
is estimated that it cost the British
combine around $35,000 for that
one day 's advertising. Incidentally,
it pavfd the way for a more lively
style of advertising in the future.
Many of the papers have all sorts of
hard and fast rules for the govern-
ment of advertisers. Type above a
certain modest size was prohibited;
the style of cuts was confined by
strict regulations, and the amount
of advertising to be accepted on any
one day was carefully limited. But
the hu^e orders for tobacco "ads"
are changing all that.
So lar the American Company
has spent penny for penny about as
much as its British brethren for ad-
vertising, but its advertisements
have not been of a controversial
nature. They have been devoted
mostly to a simple statement of the
merits of its wares In the mean-
time, the familiar brands of Ameri-
can cigarettes are as cheap here as
they are at home, wh reas they used
to cost twice as much

Packers are looking over crops in
many of oUr towns, yet trade is far
from rushing. The feeling among
our growers is that they are far
from being impressed with the
seemingly vicious attempt to give
the crop a black eye. The pompous
and well fed packer rushes early
into the field, and bargains right
and left for the leaf while it is yet
standing in the field. But now,
later, he refuses to take the crops he
honestly bought. Some suits have
been commenced to test the question
of the validity of the verbal con-
tracts. We hope that the results
will settle the question of the validity
of such verbal bargains, so that
growers may know what to expect
when they have bargained their
crops. It is with much confident
that we repeat what we have often
said: "Don't sell before stripping
without a suitable amount of money
paid as a forfeit." And we further
hope that our growers will assort
and pack their own crops. If it
goes to some wait house for assort-
ing it is the farmers who do the
work. If they are competent to do
the work in the warehouse, why not
to do their own?
Our correspondents write:
East Hartford, Ct.: "Since writ-
ing before a few sales have been
made of broad leaf at prices of 22c
and 5c down to i8c and 5c; some
sold their crop at 20c through
There is some sweat tobacco in some
sheds It was nearly all down, and
assorting is in order. We have
further news about the sale to
Taylor, of Westfidd. of 15 acres of
Havana seed by Charles Yauch
and 1 5 cases of 1900 seconds at 19c,
and a through crop at ityC and 5c
by Mr. Burnham "
East Granby, Ct : "Several crops
bargained for last fall are refused
only at reduced prices, and it is
probable that suits may be com-
menced."
Montague: "The 1901 crop is all
down and stripped, and we are well
pleased wlih it. Its very free from
damage, thin, light colored and
flexible. So far no sales "
Whately: "We have an excellent
crop this year Very little damage
by pole burn, as the bulk of it was
housed after the sweaty week. It
is nearly all stripped and ready for
assorting A few will begin sorting
and packing soon "
Conway: "Nothing new to re
port. Some few of the growers
have not finished stripping Some
of them will continue assorting this
week." — American Cultivator.
BALDWINSVILLE. N. Y.
The market continues quiet with
but littleactivity among the buyers;
most ot them have been doing no
riding. J. M. Falkand K. S. Falk,
of New York, are registered at the
Seneca House and have been riding
with J T. Skinner They are re
ported to have bought a few crops
at the prevailing price which now
ranges from 8 to loc in the bundle,
with an occasional better price for
exceptionally fine crops. James
Mehan, of Cato, representing Gans
Brothers & Rosenthal, l^as been
buying in the vicinity of Cicero,
and is reported to have made a
number of purchases at from 8 to
10 cents in the bundle. F. M Dun-
ham is still buving an occasional
crop of old. Charles R. Northrop,
of Lysander, received a numher of
new crops in the bundle, at the D.,
L. & W. R. R. freight house Mon-
day, shipping to Lancaster, Pa.
About a car load and a half was
taken in and it was all of fine ap-
pearance. Now that the holiday
season is over it is expected that
activity among the buyers will be
resumed. — Gazette.
In Cigar Leaf Growing States.
Bnving came to a standstill dur-
ing the holidav season in the Onon-
daga section of York State Growers
have been pushing stripping and
some have finished. The tobacco
weighs up very light. The quality
is the finest in some years, and most
crops are li^ht in quantity. A con- I
siderable portion will be used for
wrapper purposes, as quality is
much better than usu^l, as well as
because of the shortage in wrapper
stocks. Some crons have been sold
at 7 to 9c and that is what growt-rs
are generally holding for; if they do
not get it. the intention is to assort
the crop and pack — In Pennsyl
vania, aside from stripping being
pushed, tobacco matters are at a j
standstill. Very few sales by!
! growers Buyers are actively at
work picking up the remaining 1900
Zimmer at 7 to loc. The severe
cold weather put a stop to all oper j
ations during middle December in
the tobacco industry — In New ,
Kngland. interest continues to in-
crease concerning the raising of
Sumatra Seed under cheesecloth.
Alrtady one corporation has been
organized with a capital stock of
$ti5ooo, and another with $i25,*|
000. all paid in. A third company I
has been incorporated, composed
entirely of growers in the town of
Suffield, with a large capital stock.
Rumors are in the air that several
other corporations will be formed
before the planting season opens
There is great interest and there
will be numerous individual growers
who will plant a small acreage
under cheesecloth — American Ag-

Distribution of Samples.
The Commissioner has ruled that
a cigar manufacturer or his agent,
or a dealer in cigars, may distribute
samples from boxes properly labeled
branded and stamped, as a means of
advertising the goods, and while
traveling from place to place in the
town or city, but a distinction must
be made between such free distribu
tion and the sale of manufactured
tobacco or cigars by peddlers who
or defaced in such manner that they
can not be used again, can be placed
in show windows for the purpose ol
displaying the brand of goods, and
that such emptied boxes would not
have to be destroyed where the
stamp has been utterly effaced;
further, that this method of adver
tising is better than for the manu
facturer to make dummy package^
in imitation of statutory packages
and seal the same with their cum
mercial label, making it necessary
for the revenue officers to break
open the boxes when they are found
intermingled with other boxes actu
ally containing cigars The prac
tice of displaying dummy packages,
which are an exact counterpart ol
statutory boxes ot tobacco or cigars.
IS discouraged by revenue officers,
although such boxes or packages
may not have a stamp, caution

affixed thereon.

Acconnting for Cigats Damaged ot Used by
Employes.
In a case referred to the Commis-
sioner, a cigar manufacturer at-
tempted to account for a consider-
able shortage in his cigar accounts
by claiming that part of these cigars
were "cripples" and were thrown
away, and that the remainder had
been smoked by his employes. The
collector was advised that no credit
would be allowed for cigars alleged
to have been used by persons em-
ployed about the factory nor for
"cripples" or broken cigars, unless
the manufacturer had reported the
number of such cigars that h« had
on hand during each month, and
that the only way to have credit for
such cigars was to report them, and
the collector then would determine
whether a deputy should inspect the
cigars before they were destroyed.

Removal of a Cigar Factory.
A cigar manufacturer, who de-
sired to remove his factory to an-
other location in the same district,
was advised that, under the Regu-
lations, Series 7, No. 8, revised
January 29, 1900, page 67, a manu-
facturer may remove to another lo-
cation in the same district without
being required to stamp his cigars.
Further, that in such case he would
be required to make a new state-
ment on Form ^6}4 , describing the
premises end to file a new bond
with the collector for his district,
who would transfer his special tax
stamp to the new location; and
while the collector may require him
to give a new bond and file a clos-
ing inventory on Form 70b in lieu
of the new bond, the sureties of the
old bond could endorse thereon
their assent to the removal of all th«
material and unstamped cigars to
the new location, and agree that the
conditions of the bond shall remain
in force and effect at the new loca-
tion the same as if no change in lo-
cation had been made, and in that
case a new bond was not required to
be made.

To Avoid the Pressure.
A late London dispatch says that
fear of an increase of duties on wine,
spirits and tobacco in the forthoom-
ing budget is responsible for heavy
withdrawals of these goods from
bond. Great quantities are being
rushed through the custom house.
The excess of withdrawals above
the normal in the way of duties has
been averaging $50,000 a day. It
is thought that expensive cigars are
almost certain to be taxed at a
higher rate.

By Charles K. Faucktte, of the Consolidated Tobacco Company.

Sir Walter Raleigh left behind him lygave him a douche of cold water after ascending slowly into the air ever it pleaded him to do so, and

adversity, it is equally true that his return from Virginia he made up tion ot a pet dream,
contemporaries did not love him, i his mind to introduce the fashion "The smoke makes rings and the
however much they may have re-
spected him.
You see, he was so aggravatingly
superior. He was so in the habit
of taking the starch out of other
people's self love. And then he
was such a poseur. On that famous
occasion when he made a rug of
his new white satin cloak, in order
that Queen Bess might not soil her
shoes, he did a fine thing undoubt-
edly, but the other courtiers who
had not thought to anticipate him
with their white, or blue, or pink
cloaks — how they must have re- 1
sented his triumph! j
Sir Walter's superiorities were in !
every way aggravating. He always
took the centre of the stage and ap-
propriated to himself all of the ap-
plause and all of the bouquets. For ;
instance, it was not Raleigh who |
first brought tobacco to England,
but Sir John Hawkins, a very much
more honest fellow, even if he was
a swashbuckler and a pirate, yet
in all the school histories down to i
our own day, it is the superior Sir
in solitary pleasures, and on his great discoverer upon the realiza growing success in this novel un-
dertaking.
*'It is I, Dickon, only I," he
would say, after every perfect ring,
i "who can do this. You are only a
baseborn menial, Dickon. You
1 have much cause to admire your
I
' master, sirrah, and now you have
I more cause than ever.
j It was at the twentieth or thirtieth
! session of this kind that Dickon
, Anstruthers' gorge rose. His fury
and resentment took the form which
has become historical. He did in-
deed throw a pail of water into his
master's face but not to put out a
fire, merely to take down Sir
Walter's overweening conceit.
Then he took to his heels and dis-
appeared forever.
"But how did that pail of water
get there?" I hear some reader ask.

purposes of this chapter.

Tebaccy and the Dhudeen.
New York, Jan. 4, 1902
Editor of The Tobacco World :
The first chapter of The Comic History
of Tobacco is certainly immense. Allow
me to say that according to ancient Gaelic
thraditions tebaccy, and, mind you, that
is not "tabak" nor "P. v. d. A. H.", but
the original manner of writing and spell-
ing the name, was originated by my illus-
trious ancestor, Brian Boroimhe, known
as Brian Boru, who fell at the battle of
Clontarf, in the year 87 B. C. If you
don't believe me, note the following few
lines from an ancient poet:
TEBACCY.
It was inthroduced in Ireland
In the days of Brian Boru,
And I'd sooner lose my life, my boys.
Than lose my Honey Dew.
My dhudeen! how sweet you are to me —
I like to see your smoke rise up
Whin I come home to tea.
The dhudeen was accordingly invinted
before the cigar, and, to prove to you,
also by ancient tliradition, that Columbus
nor Amerigo Vespuccius (a distant rela-
tion of mine, by the way) were not the
first min to discover America, allow me
to say that a man be the name of TuUy
left the coast of Galway on a morning in
June, 1492, at 11 o'clock. That was an
hour before Columbus started from Spain.
He was never heard from. Now, if he
didn't land in America, where the divil
did he land? And there are Tullys here
to-day who know good butts from stogies.
My other ancestor, William Finn, bought
the State of Pennsylvania for a dhudeen
full of tebaccy, and to prove that large
min move in the same circles and that
history repeats itself to-day. the Hon.
SigmundRosenwald owns the farm where
my forefather William smoked the In-
dians out of the State of Pennsylvania.
The ancient poet goes on to relate
TEBACCY AGIN.
It was brought into Pennsylvania
In the days of William Pinn,
Who bought the State of Philadelphia
From the wild red Indian min.
To conclude, how could anybody but
an Irishman discover tebaccy? Milesius,
King of Spain, his sons and nephews,
settled Ireland. That is, he thought he
settled it, but they are planting tebaccy
to-day in the County Meath, all reports
to the contrary notwithstanding, and
England will smoke it, although it may
not be the brand of ould Raleigh. They
threw water on him whin he lit up a Long
Tom. Could you do that in Ireland, un-
less you were near a tree?
Another thing— a Long Tom in Ireland
would not be as handy a3 the dhudeen, if
anyone criticized the tebaccy you had it
filled with. It might be Mrs. Miller's
worst, but it would lead to argument,
and a Long Tom could not be dropped so
•isy. Vuelta Abajo and Partidos and
Remedies; well, they are good enough
for Spaniards. We dhrove them out of
Ireland, and we have been busy govern-
ing every other country but our own ever
since.
On with the dance!
To the Lilies of France !
Sic simper McManus;
And Tebaccy forever !
M. E. Flaherty,
"Aguey-Nabey Mike."
Segar Store Suggestions
IVIarket Value of a Window Display.
A contributor writes as follows to
' ' Tobacco , " of London :
"Sir — To some, it may appear a
new feature that the tobacconist
should receive payment for his ser-
vices as an advertising agent, yet
the making of a special display of
any line of goods has a market
value no less real than the space on
a boarding, or in the newspaper.
This should be borne in mind by
manufacturers when making their
advertising arrangements.
The exact monetary value could
be assessed only by careful study of
its comparative value with other
mediums, but that it is of infinitely
greater value than some which is
taken advantage of is apparent.
What one .sees advertised in the
newspaper, on the boarding, in the
magazine, one is influenced in pur-
chasing when confronted by a dis- :
play of the goods in a shop window, j
Here it ranks with the boarding at :
a value of, say, one guinea to ten j
guineas per month, according to
position and the class of shop. This
is its comparative value, but it has
another altogether apart from this.
It has a distinct value of its own.
An article introduced by a manu-
facturer and shown universally by
his customers has created a demand,
and established a sale, when not a
penny has been spent in advertising.
Perhaps a word should be put in
here for the market value of the
traveler who has been successful in
securing the gratuitous display,
which has often been the first step
in the making of many a firm.
Its value is enhanced, since it
would appear that the pushing of
the goods is thrown into the con-
tract, whilst the manufacturers'
profits upon the goods sold must
materially reduce the fee paid for
the show. These additional values
must be added to the 'window dis-
play.' They are not to be found
with any other advertising medium.
Most tobacconists of any import
ance know the value of 'special dis-
plays' for creating sales, and one is
left to imagine that the careful and
studied absence of any show of pro-
prietary articles in tobacconists'
windows is due to the knowledge
of this fact. The awak nin^ is
probably the outcome of modern
competition, when not only the
shop has to be remodelled, profits
overhauled, but a premium placed
upon his labor as a salesman, and
every available asset taken into ac-
count. Considering his heavy
rents and expenses, one would con-
sider this is only a proper course.
Be this as it may, what we are
now concerned with is the value of
the tobacconist's window for use to
the advertiser; and there is little
doubt that, although in its infancy,
the practice is rapidly growing, and
many of the larger manufacturersare
following in the footsteps of those of
less prominence."

S Wulkan & Co. commenced
cigar manufacturing j ust six month-
ago, at Sheridan and Race streets,
this city. The principals of the
firm are S Wulkan and S Hart
man, both cigar manufacturers of
wide experience, and truly experts
in the manipulation of the leaf,
having been previously identiBed
for many years with several of the
most extensive manufacturers of the
United States. It is as a last resort
and pnrtly owing to the effect of
combinations among several larger
manufacturers, that these two am-
bitious gentlemen decided to embark
in the trade upon their own ac
count, and considering the present
close competition, the firm has
made substantial and encouraging
progress from the beginning
Their products have already been
successfully placed with a number
of prominent wholesale houses in
this and other cities, and the pros-
pect for a rapid growth in their trade
is very promising.
A line of goods ranging in price
from $25 to $60. has been made, all
^ith Sumatra wrappers. Their
-ipecialty, however, is the "Nation's
Bell," a $35 cigar which is already
on sale at many retail cigar and
drug stores here.
A more appropriate title for a
new cigar to he brought out in this
city could perhaps not be easily
suggested, and it has evidently ap
pealed to many a patriotic citizen
here, as well as to dealers. The
label is one of special design and
excellent coloring, containing a
miniature reproduction of dear old
"Liberty," fl inked on one side by
a cut of the Wra. Penn House, and
on the other by a representation ol
Betsy Ross displaying the first flag
containing the original thirteen
stars, and underneath is tne wording
' 'American 's Favorite, ' ' from which
we infer that both the bell and a
good cigar are favorites with many
a true American.
The "Nation's Bell" cigars are
made up in several shapes and sires,
all hand work, of old and carefully
selected stock, and go to the dealer
at $35 per M.

The Dealer's Future.
There are perhaps many members
of the retail trade who believe that
there is not a bright prospect for
the future before them It w6uld
be difficult to advise such men as to
what steps they should take to safe
guard their interests. They claim
that a gigantic force of capital is
arrayed against them, in view of
which appaling (?) condition there
is a waning of personal influence
and good will — formerly potent
factors in a retail tobacconist's busi
ness. It is feared that complete
monopolies in their line will be the
ultimate outcome. Why ? For
reasons too numerous to mention
here; suffice it to say that, perhaps,
the retail dealer has been peculiarly
open to attacks of large trading
syndicates. But monopolies used
to be considered a bane to the com
munity in general; now it is a ques-
tion as to whether they are or not.
In England gigantic companies are
dominating the retail tobacco trade.

THE NEW
Five-Cent Cigar
B.|lewiiia[|[S6o
One of the fool statements that
dies hard has it that the total
annual consumption of Sumatra
tobacco in the United States is only
"about" 30,000 bales, and rather
under than over.
It is true that when the total pro-
duction of cigars in this country
was only around 4,500 000.000 we
consumed less than 30,000 bales of
the East Indian wrapper leaf, but
now, when our manufacturers are
turning out over 6,500 000,000 ci
gars a year the aggregate annual
consumption of Sumatra must be
nearer 40,000 bales than 30,000.
In 1 90 1 the total importation of
Sumatra footed up 37 ,034 bales and
j it is reasonable to infer that the bulk
I of this has already been used up, or
is now in process of manufacture,
for several large importers in this
j city have already sold every pound
I of Sumatra they bought over last
I year.
I At this rate the Americans will
I buy at the inscriptions in Holland
this year more than 40,000 bales
of Sumatra. The hope is that
reports concerning the new crop
received in New York of late and
which have it that the crop grown
I in Sumatra in 1901 is not so good
as that of the previous year are
untrue.
It was said in letters received

The Cabanas cigar manufacturing
enterprise of Havana was estab-
lished toward the close of the
eighteenth century.
A special meeting of the New
York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade,
to take action as to the proposed
tariff concessions on Cuban tobacco
and cigars, was held at the Board
rooms on the afternoon of January
^. The following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
"The New York Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade is opposed to any
change in the existing tariff on
cigars coming from Cuba, and is
also opposed to any change in the
existing tariff on Cuban tobacco,
except theestablishment of a specific
uniform rate of duty . ' ' Walter Beer,
Lewis Cantor, Charles Fox, A.
Cohn and Jesse Mayer were ap-
pointed a committee to prepare a
statement of the reasons for the
Board's opposition to the reciprocity
scheme now being mooted in Wash-
ington. At the meeting several
members volunteered to visit the
cigar manufacturers in order to
obtain their co-operation in this
matter. Secretary Jesse Mayer was
instructed to write to Samuel Gom-
pers, of the Cigarmakers' Inter-
Makers,

I. J. Schoener& Co. have begun
the year with characteristic energy.
This live young house claims to
have an extreamly large assortment
of fine tobaccos. M. Bauml, its
representative in Pennsylvania,
started for his territory with a full
line of samples on January 6. Mr.
I. J Schoener left for a visit to his
trade in New York state and the

last that the crop of 1901 had had
too little rain at the beginning ot
the season and too much at the end.
The truth as to the character of the
tobacco grown in Sumatra last year
will not, however, be definitely
known until the first samples are
shown in Amsterdam next spring
and then it will probably develope
that the crop is as good and as
abundant as usual.

The leaf market in New York
this week was fair. The demand
just now is for Havana and several
houses report large sales. Among
these houses are Schroeder &

The new cigar factory of the
Cabanas y Carbajal Company in
Havana is the first of its kind to be
built in Cuba. The steel skeleton
is already in place and the stone
and brick walls are going uprapidly.
The building is in the business part
of Havana and is over 250 feet
square. It will be devoted exclu-

Colson C. Hamilton, James M
Congalton, Frank P. Wiseburn and
Louis Buhle have formed a co-
partnership under the firm name of
C. C. Hamilton & Co. in the busi
ness of tobacco inspecting and
weighing, with offices at 136 Water
street. Colson C. Hamilton, the
senior member of the firm, has been
in business for forty- five years.
His associates are also exceedingly
well known in the trade as tobacco
samplers. They have many friends
and will without doubt receive
much patronage. The firm's further
plans will'be announced later.
It is literally true that James B.
Duke has been in treaty with the
French regie for the transfer to him
of its business. He has guaranteed
to the Government of France a
much larger revenue from its mon-
opoly in tobacco than it has ever
received, and notwithstanding the
fact that the turning over of this-
business to this marvelous Ameri-
can would create a vast stir in
France, there is a possibility that
the deal will go through.
If it does we may expect the
regies of Italy, Spain, Portugal
and Turkey to follow suit The
regie of Austria, the regie of Hun-
gary and the allied regie of Bosnia-
Herzegovina? Um mm! Anyway
before that comes Mr. Duke will
have a word or two to say to the
Russians. Oh, these are stirring
times in the world of tobacco, for a
solid fact.

A new cigar,to retail three for ten

plotting this brand upon the market
the American Cigar Co. avails itself
of the distributing facilities of tha
Continental Tobacco Co.
The "Florodora" is machine
made. It has a Sumatra wrapper
and is a good cheap smoke,

industry of this city, as is evidenced
by the fact that a special meeting of
manufacturers has been called by
Herman G. Vetterlein. Secretary of

and he has invited all manufacturers
, to attend. It is also equally evident
I that a protest against the proposed

will result from this meeting, which
will be held this afternoon, at 3 30,
at the Philadelphia Bourse.

IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
A meeting of the Philadelphia
Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade has
been called by Secretary (pro tem)
Dohan, to be held to morrow after
noon at 2.30, at the office of Young
& Newman, 2 1 1 North Third street.
The object of the meeting is the
full discussion of the question of
reciprocity with Cuba and the reduc-
tion of the tariff" on importations of
cigars and tobacco.
The concensus of opinion here
seems to be in favor of a reduction
of the import duty on leaf tobacco
to some fair and uniform rate, in
consideration of a reduction on im-
port duty on cigars, but what the
ultimate outcome of the meeting
will be, it would be somewhat dif
ficult to foretell, as there is some
dissension, and some who are in
favor ot protesting against any
change whatever. Resolutions will
no doubt be passed in which will
be embodied the idea of the majority
of those who may be present At
any rate, it is hoped that there will
be a full attendance.
It is also possible that the matter
of electing a secretary may be
brought up.
Dohan & Taitt, of this city, have
secured the services of Ed. Levison,
to visit their trade in the West,
that is to say west of Pittsburg.
Mr. Levison left for his territory on
Wednesday, and has already re-
ported some good business from
Pittsburg and other points.
E. A. Calves, of K. A. Calves &
Co., has this week received a letter
from Frank Dominguez, of his firm,
who is now in the interior of Cuba,
stating that Remedios are fairly
plentiful, and that Vuelta and
Partidos are scarce, but of much
better quality than he had expected
to find. So far he has purchased
only Partidos.
J. A. Kinney, now with H. Duys,
Jr. is now making a thorough visit

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The local leaf market has not
been specially animated so tar this
year. In fact, it has been entirely
uneventful. No urgent demands
have been experienced for any
particular kind of leaf, yet prices
have been well maintained all
around.
Havana has had its share of a lull
too. A few sample bales of the
new tobacco have been received,
and have been subjected to much
scrutiny.
Sumatra has not been active either
though slightly improved.
Exports.
Liverpool — 62 tons.
London — 12 hhds.
Rotterdam — 27 hhds. 15 cases.

The Origin of Shade-Grown
Tobacco.
The subject of the cultivation of
tobacco under shade has been widely
discussed during the past summer,
and the general disposition has been
to award the credit for the discovery
to the U. S Department of Agricul
ture. This is incorrect, for while
the Department is entitled to credit
for what it has caused to be done
in the Connecticut Valley, the sue
cess of this method of growing leaf
tobacco was fully demonstrated in
Florida some time ago, as the fol
lowing letter will show:
New York, Jan. nth, 1902.
Editor of Thk Tobacco World,
Dear Sir: — It would appear
froiu the letter written to Prof.
Milton Whitney by Mr. J. C.
Mitchelson, Cpublished in the
•Hartford Daily Times" under
date of Jan. 8th) that the growing
of tobacco under artificial shade
was a discovery of some gentleman I
of the U. S Department of Agri-
culture; that this industry was de
veloped under its supervision and
made a success as a result of the
experiments of the United States
tobacco experts. Let the credit for
the success ot growing tobacco
under shade be given to those to
whom it is due. Several years ago
my respected father, Mr. F. A.
Schroe^er, now deceased, conceived
the idea that finer and thinner to-
bacco could be raised under arti-
ficial shade than in the sunlight.
The idea had been suggested to him
by the fact, that so-called orchard
grown wrappers (that is, tobaccos
partly shaded by the trees in the
Island of Cuba) were finer in texture
than tobacco not shaded. Six
years ago an experiment was made
by him at (^uincy, Fla A half acre
of ground was covered with an arti
ficial shade made of slats, and from
that half acre this method of grow-
ing tobacco has grown to its present
large proportions in Florida. Mr.
M. L. Floyd, the United States to
bacco expert, who has so ably
superintended the experiments in
Connecticut, was at one time the
agent of the firm of Schroeder &
Bon. of which my father was the
head, at Quincy, Fla. Subse-
quently he was with the Owl Com-
mercial Company, and it is from
Florida growers that he has gained
the knowledge that has enabled him
to succeed so well in Connecticut.
The growing of tobacco under arti-
ficial shade in Connecticut was not
an experiment, as this experiment
had already been made in F'lorida,
and it was only necessary for the
Connecticut growers to follow the
methods already practiced by the
Florida planters. The first to use
artificial shade of any kind in any
country for tobacco was Mr. FA.
Schroeder. The first to use the
"cloth tenting" was the Owl Com-
mercial Company. One thousand
acres of tobacco were grown under
artificial shade within a radius of
twenty miles of Quincy, Fla., in the
year of 1901. Fully 1,500 acres
will be grown in the year 1902 by
Messrs. A Cohn & Co., the Owl
Commercial Co., Mr. Taussig, Mr.
Wedeles, and by the company of
which I am president, Schroeder &
Arguimbau. Great credit is due to
the gentlemen of the U. tS. Depart-
ment of Agriculture who have dis-
seminated the knowledge they have
I gained from the Florida growers
I among the tobacco farmers of Con-
j necticut, but let .some recognition
! be given to the man who conceived
the idea, Mr. F. A. Schroeder, and
to those who made his idea a bril-
liant success— the Florif^a growers.
. Very respectfully yours,
E. A. Schroeder.
QUEEN CITY NEWS.
I Cincinnati, Jan. 11, 1902.
There has been a better feeling
and an increased business this week.
Particular among the tobacco man-
ufacturers, who seem to be the
busiest of all just now. Most job-
bers did not order heavily in Decem-
ber, because they did not care to
have a superfluous stock on hand
at the first of the year. Since then,
however, they have been ordering
heavily, and all our factories are
running full force. The cigar man-
ufacturers are aiso doing nicely, a
steady trade developing for this
time of the year.
The year just passed was a very
satisfactory one to the cigar manu-
facturer, even though the output of
the district did not quite equal the
exceptional figure of 1900, when
there was an increase of fifty million.
Apart from that year, however,
1901 shows up finely with an out-
put of 326,776,055 which is 15
million less than the previous year.
The output for December was only
21,260,630 which was four million
less than November. Little cigars
held their own, the 1901 figures be-
ing only 36,000 behind that of 1900.
Manufactured tobacco, however,
showed up best of all, the districts'
output for the year being 19,581,-
755 pounds, almost two million
more than 1900. December was a
very heavy month, 2, 209,982 pounds
being turned out and this month
promises to be as good,

Reading, PA.,Jan. 11, 190
The American Cigar Company's
invasion of this city is nowcomplete.
It is working its stafi of artists,
solicitors, salesmen, and advertising
accessories with aggressive activity
Wagon loads of tin signs, big
bundles of muslin streamers, heavy
packs of card board stickers, and
all other manner of advertising ap
pendages are being tacked, posted
and nailed all over the city.
Painters and artists may be seen
hanging from the eaves of houses
and large buildings. A carload of
advertising matter arrived several
days ago, with which they intend
to bombard the town. At the
Mansion House is registered M
Williams, one of the company's
most capable men, and at the
American House, are a half score
salesmen, advertising men, etc., to
work under the management of Mr.
Williams, to accomplish, in their
own parlance, "the doing up of the
town . ' ' Already they have secured
quite a lot of trade from the local
dealers. Generally, they have met
with much opposition. The dealers
in this city are almost unanimously
opposed to the intrusion, and have
thus far liberally patronized the
home manufacturers but there is
no telling what the end may be
The representatives of the American
Co. are pursuing an exhaustive
system. When one of the repre-
sentatives fails, another is sent, and
if he fails, Mr. Williams himself
goes to see them. Men are now
at work getting out the tons of ad-
vertising which they had shipped
here. It is stored in a warehouse.

THE TOBACCO WORLD
WE, WISH YOU
WOULD TRY
We have been advertising the DuBrul
Dieless Suction Table pretty thoroutrhly 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
wh\' more cigar manu-
facturers do not keep
pace with modern
methods and facilities
is that they are not fully informed about
them.
We want >ou to be fully informed about
the DuBrul Dieless Suction Table.
Probably vour 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.

The company manufactures a large
line of goods in its manufactories
all over the country which dealers
everywhere are almost forced to try.
Many are of a high standard, but
owing to the prej udice against their
methods, much diflficulty is experi-
enced in securing trade here, and
an aggressive campaign is found to
be the best. This city has always
been regarded as the stronghold of
anti-monopoly sentiment, made
secure by the many factories here
which supply the trade independent
of the combination, so the very best
workmen in the company's employ
were sent here. They will remain
here for several weeks. Mr.
Williams said that he intended to
camp here with his men until their
products were firmly established.
He saw no good reason for opposi
tion, and was sure that he could
advance the sales in this city to a
liberal extent before long. The
feeling among the tobacco men is
quite strong against them, however,
and it is possible that they will en-
deavor to come to an agreement
among themselves not to patronize
the new goods.
Collector Fred W. Cranston has
received all the returns from the
cigar manufacturers in this district,
which now comprises Berks and
Lehigh counties. There are 300
cigar and tobacco factories in this
district, and they must account not
only for every pound of tobacco
they have purchased during the
year, but for every cigar manufac-
tured by them. The output in
1901 reached 150,000,000. All of
the factories have again resumed and
are quite busy.
Charles Fleck, the senior member
of the Fleck Cigar Co., left for
Scranton and other points in the
coal regions. The output of the
firm in 1901 was double that of the
year previous, and the prospects for
the ntw year are unusually bright.
Bitting & Hawk report business
brisk. This hustling young firm is
rapidly forging to the front, and
their "Way On" and "Victorious
Fleet" nickel brands are meeting
with great success. Several new
brands will be placed on the mar-
ket early in the spring. The fac-
tory is running on full time.
Yocum Bros' cigar factory again
leads the list of manufacturers in
this division in point of production.
They handled about 20,000,000 in
1901. This is a considerable in-
crease over the business of a year
ago, and is the best showing that
the firm has ever made. The firm
employs about 350 hands, and send
a large slice of their product to the
west. Their leaders are the "Spana
Cuba" and "Y.-B." The factory
is again in full operation, and suffi-
cient orders are on file to keep them
busy for some time to come.
Sam. Hantsch feels jubilant over
his success the past year. He in
vaded the Pittsburg distri:t with
over a million and a half of his own
made stogies, which is considered a
remarkably good showing, consider
ing the number of stogie manufac-
turers in that city. He turned out
over 3.000,000 stogies during 1901
and in addition has a satisfactory
increase in his cigar output. A
large block of his stogie product is
shipped to the Pittsburg and West
Virginia districts, in direct compe
tition with the big factories there.
He regards the trade outlook as be
ing very favorable.
C. Calvin Foreman, of Strauss-
town, has filed his bond with Col
lector Cranston for a new cigar fac-
tory at that place, which he opened
several days ago. He will employ
about a dozen hands at the start,
and will make hand- made goods.
This is the first new cigar factory
to be opened in the new year.
E. E. Kahler, has enough orders
on hand to keep him busy for some
months to come. His output in
1901 almost doubled that of the
CSTABLISHCO 1871.

previous year, and he expects a still
larger gain this year. He ships
heavily to the west, and also does
a large city trade.
John G. Spatz, of J. G. Spatz &
Co , left on a two months western
trip, going as far as Denver, and
visiting the principal cities in the
west and northwest. He had a
very good year in 1901. He enjoys
a good trade in fine cigars, and in-
tends extending his line during the
new year.
Blachman & Nagle, who recently
removed their cigar factory from
128 to 116 North 9th street, started
in full operation a week ago. Messrs.
Blachman and Nagle were appren
tices together while learning cigar-
making in the factory of John
Beadencup, this city, 34 years ago,
after which Mr Nagle left Reading
and was in business for himself in
Philadelphia. They saw each other
only once in 28 years. Mr. Nagle,
having returned to Reading two
years ago, they decided to engage
in the manufacture of cigars, and
they have thus far been very success-
ful. With their new factory they
will be able to double their former
output.
In the handling of leaf tobacco
the Reading firms are ahead for the
year. J. L. & M. F. Greene said:
"We had a splendid year and are
well satisfied We handled more
Wisconsin than for several seasons.
The manufacturers who have used
it have found it a good combination.
Next year should show a continua-
tion of this boom."
John U Fehr said: "When the
cigar men are busy the activity of
the leaf trade is a natural conse-
quence. More leaf was raised iu
Berks than in former years, and I
believe that more farmers could
make it pay."
John A. Hain & Co. said: "Our
sales were ahead of those of 1900,
and we have extended our trade
considerably. Reading is a good
location for a leaf house, and we
find railway facilities very satis-
factory."
The Goldman Tobacco Co. re-
cently consummated an order with a
prominent jobber in Buffalo for the
ensuing year that is to be made up
in monthly shipments of their line
of "Anti Butts." The past year
was a profitable year for them.

Fermentation of Wrapper Leaf, j
Director E H. Jenkins, j
Conn. Kxper. Sta.
Perhaps this subject does not in-
terest growers so much as it does
dealers, although I believe the num-
ber of those who case down and
ferment their own crops is increas
ing, and at times it is certainly an
advantage to do it. Trade and crop
conditions within the last few years
have been such that it was often
very profitable to get the new crop
of tobacco into market at the earliest
possible date. The trade would
not or could not wait for the cus
tomary sweating process, which
took from five to eight months, so
a method of "forced sweating" was
practiced, which got the tobacco
into market in less than two months
from the start, and in fairly satis
factory shape.
In substance, this method consists
in packing the leaf in cases in the
usual way and putting them in a
room which is kept very warm and
very damp. There is little agree
ment as to the proper temperature,
some keeping it at 90 to v 5 degrees
F. others at as high as 130. This
method seem^ to hold the light
colors of the goods, it gives the leaf
the look of sweated tobacco, and
damage in the case is not common
The tobacco has a peculiar, sweetish
smell, however, which gradually
disappears on aging, and it is not
in the opinion of dealers, so good
an article as the same leaf which
has been fermented by the old pro
cess, which is often called the
"natural sweat."
Three years ago I fermented our
experimental crop by still another
method, which is used in Cuba, in
Florida, in Germany and in Su
matra, but which had not been used
commonly, if at all, with our New
England wrapper leaf To distin-
guish it from the others, it may be
called "fermentation in bulk,"
though it is as "natural" and as
little "forced" as the old standard
method. The test was so success-
ful that we have sweated our crops
of the last two years in bulk and
our 1 90 1 crop of Sumatra is now
being put in bulk. This method is,
I believe, destined to largely super
sede the others.
Cured tobacco leaves normally
contain two or more ferments;
chemical agents which, though pre-
sent in very small amount, can ex-
cite extensive chemical change in
the leaf; just as a very little rennet
can curdle a large amount of milk,
or as malt can turn many hundred
times its weight of starch into sugar
It is these chemical substances in
tobacco which carry on the fermen-
tation, and not at all the bacteria
to whose action the whole thin^
was formerly ascribed. These fer-
ments in the cold, or in the dry
leaf, will not act at all. Tobacco
must be "in case," containing 25
to 30 per cent, of water and must
be warm before any true ferment a
tion can begin. Once begun, the
heat rises rapidly, for certain mat-
ters iu the leaf, through the agency
of the ferments, oxidize and are
converted into other things and
liberate heat in so doing. So great
is this heat that a bulk of wrapper
leaf, left to itself, might be damaged
or ruined by cooking. Heavy filler
leaf .sometimes reaches a tempera-
ture of 150 degrees F in the bulk,
while at that heat wrappers would
be injured. Now in whichever
way we sweat the leaf the process
is as I have described, but the
result depends upon the skill with
which it is done. It is possible to
undersweac or oversweat the leaf,
or to sweat it unevenly. Molds
may get in and cause mustiness:
bacteria may attack and rot or
"canker" the packing.
By the commonly used "natural
sweat" process, the tobacco is
tightly packed in cases during
winter and early spring and put
away in unhealed store rooms,
wheie it lies until the turning of the
I seasons warms it enough to start
! ferments and the processes of fer-
menting and aging go on together
No method is better than this wht n
It goes right. The trouble is that
it often goes wrong. When the
tobacco lies dormant, before fer
mentation begins, molds may attack
and damage it. Sometimes you
can detect this trouble in spring, by
the smell of the warehouse room,
but there is no chance of doing any-
thing to check it. Irit is in high
"case," very damp, that is, when
it is packed, canker and rot may
injure or ruin it. In any event, the
tobacco is unevenly sweated, that
on the outside being often resweat
by the cigarmaker before he can
work it.
Most of these troubles are avoided
by fermenting in bulk. The to-
bacco, in hands, is piled on a plat-
form raised a few inches from the
floor and perhaps covered with fer
menting trash tobacco to give
bottom heat. The platform is five
feet wide and as long as necessary
to make the bulk about six feet
high. The leaves are laid smoothly

in rows, shingle fashion, the butts
of one row lying on the middle of
the leaves of the next row toward
the side. The workmen stand at
the sides, no heavy pressure being
put on the bulk. Thermometers
are put in the bulk, and when it is
done the whole is covered, top and
sides, with woolen blankets, on
which rubber blankets are laid.
The air of the room is kept quite
damp and at a temperature between
70 and 80, day and ni^ht. The
tmlk at once goes into fermentation,
the temperature of the tobacco ris
ing from six to ten degress every 24
hours.
When it has reached 115 to 125
degrees, or when, for any other
reason, it stems best, the whole is
taken up, shaken out lightly and
rebulked close by. The hands
which were on top in the first pile
go at the bottom of the second and
those which were outside before, go
inside now. If any part of the pile
appears at all soggy or too wet, it
can be shaken out and dried off a
'ittle before being put back; if any
is rather dry, it can be sandwiched
in with the damper leaf, and at all
times the owner can see just what
is going on, with a chance to correct
what is wrong. This time the
temperature rises more slowly, and
it may be ten days before the bulk
must be again turned over. lo
most cases the second turning suf
fices and the temperature begins to
fall, showing that the fermentation
is complete. At the end of six
weeks, the tjbacco is ready to be
sorted, or cased for sale without
further sorting. It must, however,
be allowed to stand in a warm place
until it has cooled off sufficiently.
This method, or some slight
modification of it, I am convinced
will in time replace very largely
both the old time "natural" sweat
and the "forced" sweat in cases,
for the reasons already given, that
the whole packing and every part
of the leaf from tip to butt is evenly
finished, giving more even colors
than can be got in any other way,
and the whole process can be
watched constantly, giving a chance
to check any trouble which, un
checked, would do great damage.
No tobacco is at its best as soon
as it is fermented. It needs to stand
tor months in a moderately warm
place and age or "mull" to bring
out its finest quality and remove a
certain rawness or harshness. What
happens to it during this time no
one knows, but as to the fact of
improvement by aging, I believe
there is no question.

TOBACCO REPORTS.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
There is no boom in the trade,
but rather a holdup on the the part
of the packers, and in many cases a
large cutdown where parties con-
sent to deliver goods bargained for
early. The consequence is that
many of our growers are assorting
their own. While others who have
facilities are assorting and packing
for such growers as prefer to have
it done by those that are accustom-
ed to packing. It seems as through
every grower should either do his
own or have some one do it for him
unless packers would be reasonably
honest. We know of one farmer,
and one who understands packing
well, who is putting up for his
neighbors some 500 cases this year,
while others are doing more and
some less The growers at Hins-
dale, N H., have a town organiza-
tion, with A. B Davis, president,
W N. Pike, vice president and W.
D. Stearns, secretary, with <^6}4
acres. No doubt they will do well
to assort and pack their own, and
leave it for one to sell after its value
is determined. The greatest trouble
is the fact that some one sells at a
low rate and in effect sets the price
for the others.
Our correspondents write :
Deerfield: "Tobacco is all taken
from the poles and nearly all in the
bundle. A very little pole sweat in
some lots on the lower tier. A very
good crop. No sales as yet. "
Feeding Hills: Tobacco is nearly
all stripped, but not much of it de-
livered yet. On account of the lack
of damp weather, the packing could
not commence until last week. E.
H. Smith forced the dampening
process by artificial means. He had
over eighty acres, and it worked
satisfactorily. As fast as it was
stripped it was taken to the sorting
rooms." [He is the senior member
of Hinsdale Smith & Co ]
"One Westfield buyer notified his
customers that he shouldn't take
crops bargained for, and it makes
hard feelings. Some pole sweat
prevails, but later crops show but
little."
South Deerfield: "I am employ-
ing from 20 to 25 men assorting to-
bacco, and expect to pack about
500 cases. No sales, no buyers and
probably will not be until it is as-
sorted. I find some very fine leaf
and some badly damaged."
Windsor, Ct.: "The prospect now
is that there will be quite a large
amount of Sumatra shade-grown to-
bacco in this and neighboring towns.
F. B. Griffin is to grow 40 acres for
the Sutter Bros. Company under
cloth. Assorting is going on by
packers and growers. At South

East Hartford: "A number of
sales of Connecticut seed leaf have
been made of late. Prices so far as
ascertained range from 20 to 2 2^^c,
possibly a few prime lots at higher
prices."
Hatfield: "I have not written of
late, as I had nothing new to say.
Thus far a few small crops have
been sold at loc and ii>4c. Most
of assorting shops are busy assort-
ing by the pound. Jacob Carl now
has my crop in the sweat room
Most of our farmers will pack the
crop on their own account. There
isn't the damage that the buyers
claim; five to ten per cent, will
covtr it. Not many here expect to
raise Sumatra under cover."
Sunderland: "Matters connected
with the tobacco interests are very
quiet. Some are assorting their
crops. None of that which was
sold laf.t fall has been delivered.
All appear to think that it will not
be much gain in making a stirabout
it, so far as hail cut or pole sweat is
concerned."
Conway: "No sales heard of yet
All are through stripping. Some
are assorting. Others perfer to wait
a little to see if they cannot sell in
the bundle." |
East Deerfield: "I have no sales
to report. Stripping is well along.
There is some tobacco yet on the
poles. There has not been a buyer
in sight yet."
Hinsdale: "Sutter Brothers have
bought two crops here, p )le burned,
viz.: A. B Davis 4 ^ot's <t loc.and
Hoyt H. Day 5 tons at private
terms. The buyers talk is that all
crops are more or less pole burned "
Suffie'ri: "The tobacco is mostly
taken down, ard is being stripped
and put into bundles. Some of
those who raised last year under
shade, putting a half acre, are to
increase their tents a full acre the
coming year, and some others will
try raising it under cloth. A few
who sold early have delivered their
crops."

down, and nearly all is stripped

the fine weather and smooth roads,
but the majority of those riding re-

many of the farmers, being disposed
to refrain from buying until the I

tobacco in the state, and it will all
be needed before another crop can
be grown and sweated. Eastern

The Smokers* Risks.
Smoking to excess is more harm-
ful than chewing for the reason that
not only is the nervous system more
injuriously affected, but the catarrh
al disturbance of the air passages
renders the smoker more liable to
dangers and fatal diseases of the
air passages. The excessive smoker
is not only more liable to pneumonia,
influenza, tuberculosis, laryngeal
and pulmonary, as the sensitive
mucous surface and the bankrupted
nervous svstem present a double in-
vitation at all times, but fatal results
are more apt to occur. Many cases
of laryngeal tuberculosis present a
history of the victim being a smoker,
in a majority of instances to excess.
Heart failure is a frequent compli-
cation and serious with excessive
smokers.
Cigarette smoking is worse than
either the cigar or the pipe, but
only for the reason that the cigar-
ettes, being milder tobacco, the
smoker almost universally inhales
the tobacco fumes, and we can ap-
preciate the ill effect when we
realize the component parts of to-
bacco smoke and how direct the
route from the air vesicles of the
lungs into the blood current. The
cigarette smoker nearly always in-
hales the smoke, and. becoming
habituated to this quick toxication,
he will not smoke without inhaling,
whether he uses the cigarette, the
cigar or the pipe for the same reason
that the morphine habitue, ac-
customed to the hypodermic method
will not be satisfied with the drug
through the mouth; both victims
want quick action —The Scotsman.
Irish Tobacco for Irish Dhudeens.
Tobacco has been grown in no
fewer than twentyfive centres in
Ireland, and the leaves have been
cut and dried, and are now offered
for sale. Its excellence for smoking
is vouched for, and there seems no
adequate reason why the weed
should not boom contemporaneously
with the new Irish literature. Quite
possibly here and there the growing
may bring wealth to the cultivators
and eventually — who knows? — be-
come the envy of American trusts.

BY DIVERS HANDS
to be that Scotsmen have but a
rudimentary sense of humor; that
they never joke. King James I.,
of England, he of the famous Coun-
terblast Against Tobacco, is usually
regarded by historians, as he was
by his subjects during his lifetime,
as a particularly sobermimded Scot.
Yet it was this same King James
who was the author of a joke which
has been the most successful and
enduring piece of humor in the
history of the world. The Counter-
blast was but one part of his gigantic
pleasantry.
Suffer me to remind the reader
what it was that King James said
of tobacco. His declaration was
"That tobacco was the lively image
and pattern of hell; for that it had,
by allusion, in it all the parts and
vices of the world whereby hell may
be gained to wit; First, It was a
smoke; so are the vanities of the
world. Secondly, It delighted them
that take it; so do the pleasures of
the world delight them of the world.
Thirdly, It makcth men drunken,
and light in the head; so do the
vanities of the world, men are
drunken therewith. Fourthly, He
that taketh tobacco saith he cannot
leave it, it doth bewitch him; even
so the pleasures of the world make
men loath t« leave them, they are
for the most part so enchanted with
Chapter IV. Time Makes Clear One Scotsman's Joke,
By Joseph F. Cullman, of Cullman Bros.
The universal impression appears two pence per pound, which was in King James' time was equal to He collected his tax on every cigar'

and two pence which was worth how rich England or any other mouthful of plug and fine cut and
while. Now observe the operations country would be, if it levied a duty every nose- full of snuff. Was he
of this Scotch joker's mind; he had of twenty-four shillings a pound on an original farmer of taxes? Not
launched his Counterblast which he tobacco. I am sure that every to by the shade of King James he
rightly calculated would be a marvel bacco merchant in the world who wasn't! If James had ignored to-

Ah, but it takes a Scotsman to

when he finds it, as James did.
I have, and I own it with pride,
the greatest respect and admiration
for the combined literary and ad-
ministrative abilities of King James.

I The "Gaston" Brand
An Appreciation.
A cigar as fine as the "Gaston"
brand of Arguelle«, Lopez & Bro.,
of No. 22a Pearl street, New York,
is a work of art in the same sense
that a fine salad is. Aid it ap
peals with force, not only to every
tobacco lover, no matter what his
status in the world may be, but
especir\lly to those who are clearly
accustomed to everything that is
best.
The reputation of the manufac-
turers of the "Gaston" brand is of
the highest, and their guarantee as
to its excellence and the carefulness
and expert skill of the cigarmakers
employed in its manufacture may
be accepted with implicitconfidence,
not only by the trade but by the
individual smoker.
The "Gaston" brand has been on
the market for several years, and is
already widely known and popular
but the present label showing the
face of that Gaston who was the
Due d' Orleans and famous among
the gallants and bon vivants of his |
day is new. That it is handsome ;
and attractive will be admitted by
everyone who sees it.
The cigar is made in the factory
of Arguellez, Lopez & Bro., at
Tampa, Florida, of the finest Ha-
vana tobacco obtainable in the
Cuban market. Tht firm's tobacco
buyer in Havana is recognized as
among the greatest connoisseurs in
the trade and he has given especial
care to selecting the leaf utilized in
the manufacture of the "Gaston"
brand.
Cigar dealers who cater to fas-
tidious smokers may proffer the
"Gaston" brand over their counters
with absolute certainty that it will
please on a first trial and win a
steady patronage. The lover of the
finest clear Havana cigars is assured
that the "Gaston," smoked any-
where and under any conditions, or j
in any mood, will ensure that feel-
ing of calm which it is the mission
of the naked beauties of excellent {
cigars to impart.
The United Cigar Manufacturers'
Co. has been incorporated at Albany,
N. Y., with a capital of $7,000,000
— $2,000,000 preferred and $5,000,-
000 common stock. Directors are
Kdward A. Kerbs, Charles Hirsch-
horn, Jacob Wertheim, M. H. Mack,
Walter A. Schiffer, and Fred.

Segar Store Suggestions
Some Don't's for 1902.
One would think there was evi-
dence that the average business man
knows little about his trade, to
judge from the "don't's" which fill
the air thick as snow- flakes. Cigar
and tobacco men have been more
or less inflicted, but at the risk of
alienating their affections a few
[selections are given herewith. If
they appear contradictory and seem
to be endeavoring to get on both
sides of the fence at the same time,
you must remember that The To
BACco World has a large circu
: lation and that few of its subscribers
think exactly alike. Now there is
no reason why your neighbor, who
I may hold opinions on particular
points radically different from
yours, shouldn't find something in
his favorite trade paper that will
suit him quite as well as another
thing may suit you. What the
writer thinks doesn't matter. You
pay your money, and you ought to
get something to agree with your
own ideas.
Don't be stingy in investment
this year. Liberal buying of goods
gives the appearance of enterprise,
and frequently conveys the impres-
sion of large capital. ,
Don't buy too fre«ly this year.
Conservative purchases conduce to
a staple business and create the im-
pression in the trade that you are
cautious but sound.
Don't attempt to do business
upon a narrow margin. You will
fail of the largest success if you do.
Don't wait for your margin to
■ increase before attempting to do
! business. Credit is quite as good
' as capital, as long as you can keep it.
Don't curtail expenditures for
clerks. If customers find you
chained to your counter they will
think you are not doing a good
business.
Don't hire more clerks than you
are absolutely obliged to hire. Cus-
tomers will buy more goods of the
; proprietor and will think he is look-
! ing after their wants if he waits on |
I them himself.
I Don't neglect your windows. No j
; form of advertising brings equal !
returns for the expenditure. j
Don't spend much time on your |
windows. The results are problem-
atical at best and not always com- 1
mensurate with the efforts exerted.
Don't ignore the trust. It holds
the key to your future in its hands.
Don't buy of the trusts. If the
retailers would refuse to buy trust
goods their careers would be short.
Don't attempt to work off cheap
brands. You are likely to lose
prospective custom.
Don't pass out best brands until
you are compelled to. Nine in ten
do not know the difference.
If a dealer follows these sugges-
tions this year he will accumulate
wealth, and what is more to the
point, a huge supply of valuable
experience

A.
VETTERLEIN ON RECIPROCITY.
Mr. Julius Vetterlein, one of our foremost leaf tobacco merchants, ex-
pressed his views before the Board of Trade on the much discussed
question of commercial reciprocity with Cuba, as follows:
We gave liberty to Cuba, and she
is practically our protege. The
ordinary channels of her commerce
having been destroyed, it is the
proper thing for our country to re
lieve her from the condition of de-
pression and give an object lesson,
not only to the Cubans but to the
world, of our humanity and good
intentions.
Therefore, we shall and will give
to Cuba reciprocity, and this is the
question at issue — to determine
which is the best interest for all as
to the tariff upon tobacco, because
Cuba has nothing to offer us, recip
rocally, except tobacco and sugar
It seems to me this a question of
patriotism, and should be considered
in a deliberate way. It is not a
question of politics, "Protection vs
Free Trade," but it is a question as
to the best interest of all.
The Cubans ask for 50 per cent
250,000,000, so if the imports of
cigars should equal the percentage
of leaf imports, or say 40 per cent
of the total product of the Island, ,
they would amount to 100,000 000, \
and as there is no evidence that the
present imports of leaf tobacco of
about 40 per cent of the Island's
products are seriously injuring the
leaf interest of the United States,
nor that the importation of about ;
the same, or 40 per cent, of the ci-
gar product of the Island in 1890,
was perceptibly injurious to the
cigar interest of this country, it is
pretty near the height of absurdity
for either interest now to raise the
cry of 'ruin' over the prospect of
a return to ante- '83 rates approxi
mately on both Cuban cigars and
Cuban leaf tobacco, which were
$2 50 per pound and 25 per cent. '
ad valorem on cigars and 35 cents
per pound on all Cuban leaf to-
bacco . "
I would again call your attention
to the remarks of Mr. Frye just
quoted to that part of it which says
reduction on the duty The duty ! "It is pretty near the height of ab
on cigars is $4 50 per pound and i surdity for either interest now to
25 per cent, ad valorem, making an
average duty of at least $80 per M
and to reduce it 30 per cent would
leave it %\o per M., and it is a fact
that 80 per cent, of the cigars man-
ufactured in our country are sold at P^^^a Board of Trade. " who ask in
prices materially less than the re- | s"PP^'cation that nothing be done

raise the cry of 'ruia' over the
prospect of a return to ante- '83
rates" It seems to me he must
have had in view the petition of
what purports to be "The Philadel-
of 50 per cent, on
which I believe would make the
relative duty about the same.
It is with pleasure that I here
quote Mr. H. S. Frye, President of
the New England Tobacco Growers'
Association. You will especially
note the small quantity of cigars
that are produced in the Island of
Cuba. Now, as to Mr. Frye, I
would mention he is one of the
greatest exponents of protection to
home industries; he has accom
plished more in this particular line
than any other individual; he has
obtained for the farmers of this
country for protection sake an av-
erage duty above the cost of the
home material of 1,000 to 2,000 per
cent., and I, therefore, say it is
with pleasure I quote from him in
this issue, as follows:
I believe I am justified in stating
that a material part of the founda-
tion of prosperity of the manufac-
turers in Pennsylvania is due to the
reasonable rate of duty on Sumatra
and Havana tobacco existing prior
to 1890, and I feel assured a moder
ate rate of duty on Havana tobacco,
both as to filler and wrapper, would
be beneficial to the entire industry
— grower, leaf dealer, manufacturer,
and especially so the smaller manu-
facturer, or the man who is just
starting, or those who will start in
the future with limited means, as
the factor of prosperity is "excel-
lence" combined with cheapness.
Give the manufacturers the raw
material at the lowest figure and
burden them with as little taxation
as possible; it will be attended with
general advantage to all. The

Reciprocity.
Between the matter of legislating
for the Philippines and carrying
out promises made to Cuba, our
National Legislators will no doubt
in the near future have several
questions of much seriousness to
adjust. Philippinos,both merchants
and others, are lamenting over
present conditions in those islands.
One merchant from Manila, who
has been visiting the United States
asserts: "Our tobacco industry has
suffered most intensely on account
ol the revolution and the political
changes since Dewey's victory. To
pa»s the Payne Bill would be to
deal a futher blow to our industry."
But he takes consolation in what
he considers a better outlook, in
view of the fact that in the Senate
the recommendation of the Philip-
pine Commission to reduce the
tariff 50 per cent, seems to have
met with a favorable reception.
Even this reduction, it is contended,
would not be sufficient to enable
cigars from the Philippines to enter
into competition with the domestic
product.
There was a divergence of opinion
among the Republican members of
the Senate Committee when in con-
ference last week. No agreement
was reached. Since then it has
been practically decided to reduce
the tariff on goods coming from
the Philippines to the United States
to the extent of the export tax levied
in the islands. The agitation for
further reduction, however, still
goes on.
The entire tobacco trade is still
further disturbed by the agitation
for a reduction in the duty on to-
bacco and cigars coming from Cuba
to the United States. Congress has
undertaken to adjust all these mat-
ters in a way that shall be satisfac-
tory to all interests, and with a view
to acquiring needed knowledge it
has delegated the Committee on
Ways and Means to hear both the
representatives of Cuba and repre-
sentatives of the trade in the States.
These reciprocity hearings were
begun on Wednesday last, when
the Cuban Commission was heard
as the first witnesses, but with a
single exception the gentlemen
heard were identified with tht sugar

instructed to confer with President
John R. Young of the National
Board in Washington on January
20. President Cullman and Secre
tary Jesse Mayer accompany the
Legislative Committee to Wash-
ington.
The leaf market during the week
ended January 18 was active. The
Pennsylvania Broad Leaf was the
chief domestic type sought for and
over 1,000 cases changed hands.
The transactions in Havana con-
tinue to be brisk and of considerable
volume.
The Sumatra market was also
active. Importers are satisfied
with the way the year has begun.
Onelarge importer takesexception
to the statement that the annual con-
sumption of this leaf has increased
of late years proportionately with
the great increase in the production
of cigars. He insists that the
Treasury Department figures, which
have it that the aggregate annual
withdrawals for consumption of
Sumatra show that all the country
needs is only a little over 25,000
bales is correct. The Treasury
statement shows that during the
first eleven months of 1901, that is
from January i to December i , the '
total withdrawals were about 25,000
bales, or at the rate of about 2,720 I
bales per month. This would make |
about 28,000 bales for the whole '
twelve months of 1901. It is in-
sisted that these figures are right
and that American manufacturers of
the cheaper grades of cigars are us-
ing Florida leaf and other substitutes
for their wrappers. Canada buys
from importers in the United States
about 3,000 bales of Sumatra every
year for wrappers for the 130,000,-
000 cigars which she manufactures.
That would make for 1901 a total
consumption of about 3 1 ,000 bales
for both countries, leaving still over
6.000 bales of the total of 37,034
bales imported in 1901 in first
hands.
It is also pointed out that Ameri-
can cigar manufacturers who, before
the McKinley bill of 1890 went into
effect, were prodigal and even waste-
ful in their use of Sumatra, have
now learned how to husband this
costly leaf. They now demand that
I ^2 pounds of Sumatra shall suffice
for wrapping r ,000 cigars and expect
that every bale shall yield wrappers
for from 85,000 to 100,000 cigars.
It will be a long time yet, says the
importer, before the United States
will be able to utilize 37,000 bales
of Sumatra in a year, and that period
will be still further put off if the
production of tent- grown wrapper
leaf in Connecticut turns out suc-
cessful.
A charter was granted to Sutter
Bros, incorporated, at Springfield,

Pennsylvania Factory for Hirsch-
horn. Mack & Co.
It was reported in Philadelphia
early last week that the extensive
cigar factory of Allen R. Cressman's
Sons, at Sellersville, Pa., had been
sold to Kerbs, Wertheim & Schiffer-
Hirschhorn, Mack & Co., which,
however, was denied by the firm.
It was subsequently learned that
Hirschhorn, Mack & Co. are seek-
ing to establish a factory in the
vicinity of Sellersville, and pur-
suant to their contemplations they
had arranged to commence manu
facturing in a portion of the build
ing recently erected by Allen R.
Cressman's Sons for their own use
Eight hands were employed last
week, and it was promised that
should they be able to secure the
kind of workmanship that is desired
sufficient employment could be
given to run a factory of 250 hands.
Late last week a representative of
Hirschhorn, Mack & Co. visited
the factory at Sellersville, and had
the force of eight increased to fifty
for this week. The new firm, how-
ever, is instructing their hands in
the particular style to which they
have been accustomed in New York
city. Charles Cressman, of Allen
R. Cressman's Sons, will superin
tend the work, at least for the time
being, and it is perhaps on account
of this fact that the above rumor
gained circulation.

A spirited meeting of the tobacco
industry of this county was held on
Saturday last (see full report else-
where.)
Transactions in old goods during
the past week have been encourag-
ing. Elias Bach & Son, of New
York city, purchased from A. K.
Mann, the Millersville packer, about
800 cases, and from S. N. Mumma.
of Landisville, about 1,200 cases.
A. H. Hershey & Co., of this

the week. j
John F. Heiland. of Meiskey & '
Heiland, returned last week from a
business trip through Connecticut,
where he bought a considerable
quantity of leaf for his house.
The purchasing of the new crop I
is now becoming more general as
local leaf dealers are getting ready
to send their men in the field.
The damp weather of the past
week gave the farmers an excellent
opportunity of stripping, which was
being done as rapidly as possible
F. E. Parsons, manager of the
cigar department of Berdan & Co.,
Toledo, O., was a guest of S. R.
Moss last week, and left a pleasant
reminder in the shape of an order
of one million "yuaker Girl" five
cent cigars, and one hundred thou-
sand "Flor de Moss" clear Havana
ten cent cigars.
A decision was rendered by the
Supreme Court on Saturday last
refusing a re-hearing in the suit of
J. L. & M. F. Greene vs C. A.
Fon Dersmith, trustee, to determine
ownership of 135 cases of tobacco
levied upon by the sheriff as the
property of A. B. Hostetter on an
execution issued by Fon Dersmith
against Hostetter. The amount in-
volved is about $1 500. The
Greene's allege in their complaint
that the tobacco was sold to Hostet-
ter on the strength of fraudulent
representation which he made in
regard to his financial standing.

An adjourned meeting of the cigar
manufacturers of this city was held
on Saturday afternoon last, to further
consider the question of Cuban rec-
iprocity. No satisfactory conclu
sions were arrived at and the meet-
ing broke up in somewhat of a tur-
moil. Several resolutions were de
bated, one of which was brought
op for this express purpose, so as to
bring out if possible any objection-
able features. No committee, how
ever, was willing to serve under the
stipulations of the resolutions passed
and no delegates were sent to Wash-
ington by the manufacturers here,
to appear before the Ways and Means
Committee. It was perhaps wise to
send no delegation, rather than
have it understood at Washington
that opinion here was divided. It
is united action in such cases that
invariably accomplishes the most.
Just what ultimate effect this will
have upon the association as an as-
sociation is rather difficult to foretell
but in parliamentary practice it
might be termed a case of "strained
relations.'"

The United Cigar Improvement
Co. has now occupied the first floor
at 232 Arch street for offices, which
have been very finely fitted up. A
new process of cigar manufacture
will be soon exploited, and if suc-
cessful Is expected to bring about a
complete revolution. They propose
to use up an entire leaf, stem and
all, saving the cost of stripping as
well as the loss occasioned by strip
ping and throwing the stems in the
refuse. A newly patented machine
has been devised to do the work,
and it is giving its progenitors much
satisfaction. In fact, those inter
ested claim that its practicability is
proven beyond a question of doubt
Joseph Vetterlein, of Vetterlein
Bros., returned last week from a
flying trip through the South. ,
Business with Arthur Hagen & ,
Co. has gone on uninterruptedly j
since the retirement of Mr. Hagen, |
about two weeks ago. Mr. Hagen !

Lancaster Trade Protests.
No Change Wanted in Present Rate of
Duty — Delej.;ation to go to
Washington.
A meeting of leaf packers, and
dealers and cigar manufacturers of
Lancaster was held on Friday last
to consider the matter of recipro-
city with Cuba, and the reduction
of duty on cigars and tobacco com-
ing from Cuba to the United States.
Resolutions had already been
adopted by the leaf trade protesting
against any reduction.
President Skiles, of the Leaf;
Board of Trade, occupied the chair,
and Mr. M. Fry was made secretary \
of the meeting. Capt. John R.
Bricker, of Lititz, offered the fol
lowing resolution which was passed: j
Whereas, There is a bill pending
in Congress, being the subject mat
ter of reciprocal relations between
Cuba and the United States, in
which it is proposed to reduce the
duty on tobacco and cigars imported
from that island:
Whereas, A reduction of the tariff
o« these importations would work
the most serious injury and would
result in a widespread misfortune
to the tobacco farmers, tobacco
dealers and cigar manufacturers of
the country;
Resolved, That the tobacco
dealers and cigar manufacturers as
sembled in Lancaster city, this 17th
day of January, 1902, do most earn
estly protest against the passage of
any bill by Congress that will in
any way reduce the tariff on tobacco
or cigars imported from Cuba.
Resolved, That a committee of
two be sent to Washington to lay
before the Committee on Ways and
Means the great distress which
would result to our people from
any reduction of this nature in the
tariff, and also to enlist the services
of our representatives in both houses
of Congress in our behalf.

The hearing to-day was divided
into a morning and afternoon ses-
sion. The morning session being
occupied in hearing Messrs. Young,
Wertheim, Diaz and Storm, repre-
senting respectively the National
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association of
America, Clear Havana Cigar
Manufacturers Association, Cigar
, Manufacturers Association of West-
; ern Pennsylvania, and the National
Tobacco Growers' Association.
' The present position of the cigar
manufacturing industry was gone
I into very thoroughly and clearly
I by Mr. Wertheim, who was aided
by Mr. Diae, at the request of Chair-
j man Payne of the Ways & Mean*
j Committee. After his hearing there
j were many convictions that numer-
ous points had been scored in favor
j of no change of Tariff at present.
President Young of the National
Association has long been regarded
as a clever parliamentarian, and
therefor much was again expected
of him today. As he read his
brief he was closely followed by the
members of the Committee, and a
shower of questions were subse-
quently put, showing that a deep
and convincing impression had been
made.
Mr. Storms was the last speaker
at the morning session and it was
soon discovered that the occasion
was not his first visit before this
body.
He proved a highly interesting
witness and one who wasthoroughly
posted upon the subject of Tobacco
Culture in the United State, and
the possible effect upon this in-
dustry, in case of a reduction in
duty.
At the closing of this report the
afternoon session was just called as
there are a half dozen or more wit
nesses to be heard yet, besides the
numberless briefs, etc., which are
to be submitted in substantiation of
the protestants' contentions.
Without considering or even
knowing anything definite or reli-
able in regard to tent grown tobacco
in Cuba, so that the matter of tent
grown tobacco was simply not con-
sidered at all. I have simply heard
that they were going to try experi-
ments, that is all I know about it.
It appears that this proposed ex-
periment in Cuba has advanced
farther than I was aware or knew
of, and as it appears further that no
matter what the actual outcome
may be, the fact that a majority of
the tobacco growers of New Eng-
land believe that Cuban tent to-
bacco might become a dangerous
competitor to the leaf interests of
New England, if the differential or
wrapper rate was reduced or re-
moved from Havana tobacco, it is
entirely sufficient tor me to say that
I agree with the resolutions as
passed at the Convention of January
14th, that there should benochange,
or that I do not favor any change in
rates now existing on tobacco now
coming from Cuba or any other
country."
When questioned further regard-
ing his attitude toward a reduction
in import duty on Cuban cigar pro-
ducts, he was loath to talk, and
would only say that the cigar end
did not concern him at all. His
views on that point have evidently
changed.

Vetterlein Communicates
with Dalzell.
A letter was received by Con-
gressman Dalzell who is a member
of the Ways and Means Committee,
from Julius Vetterlein, a leaf to-
bacco packer and importer at Phil-
adelphia, urging a reduction in
present rates of duty on tobacco
and cigars coming to the United
States from Cuba, in which he
stated that it was his firm belief
that this could be done without any
possible danger of injury to the
industry here, so far as competi-
tion with Cuban products was
concerned. The letter was cir-
culated among some of the com-
mitteemen and was also referred to
a delegate from Pittsburg.
The Afternoon Session.
At the afternoon session Mr.
Storms concluded his testimony.
Mr. Cullman, President of the New
York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade
was the next witness heard and pre-
sented one of the most forceful
arguments heard. Mr. Cullman
also filed with the committee a Brief
expressing the views of his associa-
tion, together with a letter addressed
to him as President by E. A.
Schroeder. (See next page).
After this delegates representing
various trade organizations were

Lancaster, Pa. trades, for whom the
spokesman was Jas. D. Law. Also
the Lancaster County Tobacco
Growers represented by their Asso-
ciation's President B. Kara Herr.
Time was passing rapidly so that
in order to facilitate things several
organizations simply filed Briefs.
FAVORABLE OUTCOME LOOKED FOR
Theopinion is quite general among
the delegates present that their
efforts will be crowned with success,
and that they will result in no
changes from the present rates.
It is common talk here among to-
bacconists that the American To-
bacco Company has yet a trump
card to play, and that all possible
prestige will be brought to bear
upon it. It is stated that by reason
of options held by them upon a
number of cigar factories in Cuba
they will favor a reduction from
present rates. At any rate their
actions will be watched with the
deepest interest.
DELEGATES TO SEE THE PRESIDENT
A reception of the delegates now
here by President Roosevelt, has
been arranged by Congressman
Henry, of Connecticut, and it will
take place to morrow at lo o'clock.
It is also possible that Secretary
Root, of the war department and
possibly other cabinet members may
be visited.

here. The climatic conditions there
are more favorable to the cultiva-
tion of tobacco. The soil is more
fertile.
If the Cuban tobacco farmer is
not prosperous to-day, it is because
he is improvident and ignorant;
because his methods of cultivation
become a part of the United States,
so that under the direction of our
own government, our farmers
might go there with some feeling
of confidence and security, take ad-

inevitably be attained if ordinary
intelligence and diligence are ex-

people, providing that the expense thus
incurred shall be clearly borne by all the
citizens of the United vStates, and not
alone by one or two industries.
Up to the present time our entire peo-
ple have shared in the expense incurred,
but by the proposed legislation this is to
be changed, and two industries, sugar
and tobacco, are called upon to bear the
full expense. This is not the statement
made by those who favor the i)ro posed
legislation, but that it is practically true.
I shall endeavor to demonstrate bv actual
facts, and right here let nie sav that I do
not speak as a paid attorney, or even as a
salaried official of a trade organization,
but simply as an ordinary merchant and
an American citizen ; therefore, I only
ask for the consideration that is my just
right under the constitution.
The Organization which I represent, is
The National Ci^jar Leaf Tobacco Associa-
tion; its membership comprises all of the
importers, packers and dealers in cigar
leaf tobacco in the United States. Some
conception of the annual business handled
by those I represent, can readily be seen
when you consider that they fnrnish the
leaf tobacco consumed by the manufac
turers of cigars, who.during the last calen-
dar year manufactured and placed upon
the market for consumption 6.U()(),00<».()0{)
of cigars, which recjuired 12(),(KX>.0(K) of
pounds of raw material. I simply use
these figures to show the magnitude of
this industry, but this can be more clearly
shown by the fact that the Government
has received in revenue through the In-
ternal Revenu« and the Custom Depart-
ments over f iO,t)00,()00, and I submit that
an industjy which pays the Government
this amount annually, is deserving of
sonie consideration, and especially so at
this time when its very existence is
threatened by proposed legislation as un-
just as any that has ever been brought
before you.
The Cuban Committee in their printed
argument in favor of the legislation for
which they ask, opens with two proposi-
tions, and I shall first briefly reply to
these.
The first proposition is "The United
States is under mora! obligation to aid
Cuba in the re-establishment of prosper-
ity in the Islands so fir as aifi can be
given without injury to American indus-
tries." With this proposition I ihoroughlv
n
agree, for we undoubtedly are under
-moral obligation" to aid Cuba, but in
doing so, we must first consider the
duties which we owe to the citizens of
our own country and its industries and I
am here to-day to ask that your first con-
sideration be, will the proposed legislation
injure the tobacco industry.? I contend
that it will and if I can satisfy you that
such is the fact then on the Cubans' own
propo.sition there should be no change
made in the rate of duty now existing on
tobacco or its manufactures imported
from Cuba. The Cuban Comniittrcs ,
second proposition is, "That commerce
and industry of Cuba are in imminent
danger of disaster if aid is not given im-
mediately." In reply to this I would t
asK, is this the statement of a fact ? If it
is, then the statements made here bv the
Cuban Committee must be untrue, for j
they say that the tobacco industry in
Cuba is in a prosperous condition, and
according to the statistics issued by the j
Treasury Department the business of
Cuba must be equally so for, by the
figures obtained from this source, it is
shown that Cuba's imports of merchan-
dise for the last fiscal year was ()0,(».")<l.i41
and that the exports were 68.1 M.Sl'I,
vSurely the progress of Cuba thus shown
is evidence of the fact that the com-
merce and industry of Cuba is not in im-
minent danger of disaster.
Is it not a fact that additional cauita! is
constantly being invested in sugar and
tobacco lands, and that labor is fullv em-
ployed? From what this Commtttee has
already heard from those most interested
in the proposed concessions, it seems to
me that your answer nmst be in the affir-
mative. Furtlier, the attorney who wrote
the Cuban argument, says : ''The impor-
tant question is whether the proposed
plan would benefit or injure American
interests ; in determining this question
I no single American industry is entitled to
consideration." Again do' I agree with
their attorney, but I also submit the ques-
tion as to whether Cuba is solely entitled
to consideration as against any one or
two .\tnerican industries, even on the so-
called moral grounds. If the Cubans
have this privilege, then thev have more
rights than have the representatives of
any American industry, and if the Icgis
lation. which they ask for. be enacted,
which I claim is solely in the interest of
certain Cuban citizens^ it would be defri-
! mental, not only to the industry which I
I represent but to every American citizen.
j for it places the interests of the alien
I first.
I Again referring to the attorney's brief
I presented by the Cuban Comuiittee, I
; teach that portion which relates to the
tobacco industry, and I am surprised
that he so briefly treats our industry.
^ and it is in answer to this portion ot
: the argument that I desire to be
specially heard. The first proposition
I is. that "There is no longer much prc-
' tense that the free introduction of Cuban
I tobacco will injure the American in-
dustry." How aiy intelligent man can
make such a statement as this is beyond
niy comprehension, l,ct me briefly
, endeavor to sht»w who will be injured by
; the free introduction of Cuban tobacco
land its manufactures. Cigar leaf tobacco
is grown principally in the States of Ohio.
Wisconsin. Pennsylvania, New York.
Connecticut. Vermont, Massachusciis,
New Hampshire. Florida. Georgia, Texas,
and to a small extent in California. The
acreage of the prin-^ipal States growing
tobacco are as follows: —
Ohio ;{.") OTM) acres
Wisconsin l'.').O(M) "
Pennsrhania l.'2,(>o() '*
New York 7.'295 "
' Connecticut 11,<)29 "
Massachusetts 4,4SH "
New Hampshire ll',5 '«
Vermont L',S7 "
and in the Southern .States of
Florida. Georgia and Texas L',«)00 "
I From this tremendous acreage and its
consequent production, one can easily
estimate the many thousands of honest
American agriculturists whose means of
livelihood would be injured by the intro-
duction of free tobacco from Cuba, and
while calling your attention to the
tobacco grower, I would here .say, that
the statement made by the Cuban at-
torney in his brief that the American
tobacco growers do not seriously oppose
the Cuban competition, is absolutely
untrue, for, with the exception of a very

ORDERS FROM THE JOBBING TRADE SOLICITED.
few of the growers in Connecticut, of
which I will have .something to say
hereafter, the feeling of opposition and
protest to any change whatever in the
tobacco tariffs is positively unanimous.
This is evidenced by the fact that in all
of the tobacco growing sections meetings
have been held and resolutions adopted,
protesting against the proposed legis-
lation. This statement Idesire to most em-
phatically make, and I challenge the pro-
duction ofanyone.outside the president of
the New England Tobacco Growers' As-
sociation, who have favored any change
at this time in the duties, it being the
unanimous sentiment that no change
whatever should be made in the existing
American tariff on tobacco, knowing as
they do, that the iutroductior of tu*iacco,
either free or at a reduced auty, would
mean serious curtailment of their income.
The tobacco grower fully recognizes his
dependence for his own and his family's
support upon the prosperity of the cigar
manufacturing industry of the United
States, for that is really the foundation
upon which is builded our entire indus-
try. In addition to the Cubans* demand
for a reduction on the raw material, they
also ask for a reduction of the duties on
the manufactured article, and they claim
that because the production of cigars in
Cuba does not exceed 250, 000, 0(K) per
annum the admission of these goods into
the United States at half the present duty,
would have no serious effect on the
business of the American manufac-
turer. Again I say that were it not
that the question is of too serious a
nature, it would be ludicrous in the ex-
treme, but the fact is that with the rate
of duty on the manufacinrcd goods re-
duced one-half, not only would the
250,000,000 which Cuba produces be
thrown on our niaiket, but verv soon we
would be asked and expected to take
two or three times this (juantity. Even
for the sake of argument, admitting that
there would be no increase in the mann-
faciure of cigars in Cuba and that we
would take only 2oO,000,(K»0 per annum,
what would it mean? Plainly and em-
phatically the wiping out of the American
made ten cent cigar, bringing in turn
a relative reductiou in the Ijusiness of
the American manufacturer and in the
quantity of the finer quality of American
lobaccos used in the manufacture of
these goods, and it is right here that in
spite of the elaborate argument of Pres
ident Frye of the New England Tobacco
Cirowers' Association, I assert that the
Connecticut growers would be the most
- ffccted, for a very large proportion of
the New England tobacco is used in the
manufacture of ten cent cigars for
binder purposes. It has been stated
that even with a reduction of dutv
on imported cigars, we could not bring
here any goods which would seriously
compets with the American manufacturer.
This is absolutely untrue, for it is a well
known fact that with a duty of $2.l!o per
pound, and \2}i per cent. a,i valorem, the
rate which the Cubans are asking for, or
even with a reduction of 25 per cent. on the
duties, the Cuban manufacturer could lay
down a cigar here, duty paid, for less
than the American manufacturer receives
for his high grade goods and with the
added advantage that the Cubans have
of having their ^oods advertised to the
world by a peculiar stamp as imported
goods, would secure the entire American
market for all goods above five cent
cigars. If Congress desires to reduce
the American cigar manufacturer to the
level of the European cigar manufacturer,
then the method is at hand to secure such
a result.
The statement n'ade through the Press
by the Cubans as regards the condition of
the tobacco and cigar industry on the
Island is absolutely untrue, and those who
make them, know that they are only used
for the purpose of securing sympathy and
to arouse a public sentiment in favor of a
reduction of duties .so as to enable a few
Cuban growers to secure a higher price
for their products and to more easily en-
able the Havana cigar manufacturer to
control the American market for high
grade cigars. That my statement is true,
every man in our business knows, but to
convince the people of its truth and to
show the falsity of the Cubans' position,
it is necessary to show what the actual
conditions are now as compared with
the conditions previous to the Spanish
war.
For several years before the war the
production of leaf tobacco on the Island
had grown to such an extent that prices
paid by the American importer were
every year becoming lower, and the
quality imported becoming gieater, until
in 18i)(> the maximum of quantity was
reached, but with the minimum of price,
viz. : Imports of leaf tobacco, 1890, 20,-
771, S17 pounds, value |10.G13,4«8 or
89^ cents per pound. In 1901 the im-
ports of leaf tobacco were 18.851,727
pounds, value $9,837,S20 or 52>^ cents
per pound, thus showing that during the
last fiscal year the Cuban grower received
VlYz cents more per pound for his crop
than he did before the war, and with also
this advantage for the future, that while
previous to the w&x there had been for
years a surplus of tobacco always on the
island, this year all of the best grades of
the 1900 crop has been entirely disposed
of, and the only good tobacco now avail-
able is the last or liX)l crop, so that the
statement that the Cubans have no market
for their leaf t«jbacco, I repeat is abso-
lutely untrue. It is not a larger market
for their tobacco that they want, but a
higher price for what they have to sell,
and to enable them to do this we are
asked to reduce the duty.
So much for the raw material, now
what about cigars. The fact is that we
took in 1901 more cigars for which we
paid them more money than in any year
since 1H9;>, and with this knowledge
comes the inducement to endeavor lo
secure a still larger share of the American
niarket, which tliev surely will do if there
is any reduction in the duties on cigars,
and it is this fact that has aroused the
cigar manufacturers and their employes
all over the country in ojjposition. There
are over 27,000 separate cigar factories in
the United States, employing hundteds
of thousands of operatives, and these are
the first who will be affected, for with the
increased protluction of the finer tirades
of cigars in this country, there has also
come an increase in the wages of the
employes, and I can safely say that the
cigar makeis are earning more per
capita now than they have for fifteen
years, and it will continue to increase
unless the Cubans be granted the conc?s-
.sioH in duties on cigars which they ask
for, or in fact any concession, for even a
reduction of 20 percent, or 25 per cent,
will cause serious results to the manrfac-
turer of the high grades of cigars, and to
his employes.
Under the protection of the American
tariff, and aided as he now is by the
Department of Agriculture, the tobacco
grower has been enabled to bring to his
aid scientific methods with the result that
his product is fast coming to a point of
excellence that will make it a strong
competititor with the Sumatra and
Havana tobacco; in fact, the results
obtained by reason of the methods
inaugurated in Connecticut by the
present Secretary of Agriculture are
far beyond the conception of even
the most sanguine of its advocates,
and with the further develop-
ment of the same methods in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio the results in these States
will be all that is anticipated for them,

and with a continuance of the present
rate of duty, there will come added pros-
perity to the American tobacco grower,
dealer and manufacturer, and I earnestly
hope that your Honorable Committee
will decide to refuse any tariff concession
whatever, recognizing that to do so will
be against the interest of thousands of
your fellow citizens

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
Business among the local leaf
dealers and packers has improved
somewhat. A fairly good demand
for all kinds of seed leaf has been
experienced and the available stock
of old goods is being reduced. The
demand has been particularly good
for Pennsylvania broad leaf, of
which several good sales have been
made by Philadelphia houses.
The Havana market is also look-
ing brighter. Manufacturers seem
to be more willing to look over
goods and some important purchases
are already pending.
The Sumatra market, while not
especially active, is going along
smoothly. Prices on goods all
around have remained firm.

THE. UP TO-DATE
^ ^ SYSTEM ^ ^
We have long since passed the days of
the sta.ii:e 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 ecjuip-
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 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,
lixed or movable, with all
their complications, irrita-
tions and aggravations.
This table enables
the operator to do more
work and better
work in less lime and
with less wrappers than
any other table ever
made.
There is absolutely
no doubt about this ;
we have proved it by
T 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.

had much better clean it out and
shutoff all of that talk."
North Hatfield: "It isn't a year
of fat things. C. H. Crafts was cut
down from 17c to less than 12c; E
B. Crafts from 17 to 10c. Others
don't tell how much they were
docked. Then other crops bar-
gained for from 16 to i8c they make
no offer for. Mr. Bradford docked
to 8c. Gheen of Philadelphia has
bought some 25 tons or more, and
took it in Saturday; prices not
given. Warehouse at North Hat-
field opened the 13." [It is pass
ing strange that the growers will
not assort their own crops, rather
than Isubmit to such outrageous
docking. The outlook for high
prices was never better. — Ed.]
North Had ley: "I have a few
sales of tobacco to report, one of
Cyrus Hibbard at 13 cents in the
bundle, a part of which was taken
down by steam, which contractors
do not take; one of J. R. Hibbard
at 14 cents, a part of which was
turf that that they do not take, sold
to Hass. The last crop the packer
says is a first- class crop. I have
no comments to make. Austin
Fields sold to Fuller Brothers
private terms, D. Hickey sold to
Loomis, private terms." — Ameri-
can Cultivator.
BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
But little riding has been done
during the past week by the local
buyers. With the exception of the
purchases of J T. Skinner there
has been no buying reported. Louis
Erdt, of New York, is in town but
has not been buying. G. Falk, the
senior member of the firm of G
Falk & Brc, of New York, arrived
in town Wednesday morning. Mr,
Falk is a veteran in the tobacco
trade and is a very pleasant and
genial gentleman. His firm has
made a number of purchases here
recently through J. T. Skinner, and
Mr. Falk stated to a representative
of "The Gazette" this morning that
he had seen some very fine tobacco
among the 1901 crops which he had
examined.
The activity continues at the
' warehouses where assorting is being
done. At the American Tobacco ,
Co.'s warehouse a lar^e amount of
I tobacco is handled daily, and the
warehouse of J. W. Upson is also a
very busy place, about sixty persons
being employed there at present.
The assorting is still going on at the
warehouse of Lewis Sylvester &
Son and will be continued all
winter.
South Hannibal. — ^James Matson
and Charles Burghdurf have sold
their tobacco crops to a Meridian
buyer for 1 1 cents.
Liverpool — Albert Green, raised
on two and one half acres of land
, 4,800 pounds of tobacco, which he

! MIAMISBURG, OHIO.
The remnants of the 1900 crop
Zimmer are still looked after by
; buyers as closely as ever, though on
account of the scarcity of this
variety buyers are beginning to
I direct their attention toward seed-
I leaf. Prices are still unchanged.
Many new faces are reported
among the buyers who are in the
field to contract the new crop of
Zimmer at loc through. As a
large per cent, of this crop is still
unstripped, it is but prudent for
farmers to demand a substantial
cash advance per acre from the
buyer, in order to safeguard him
self against a claim that "the crop
has not been properly assorted."
etc., as is frequently the case. No
honest packer will object to making
a liberal advance when buying this
early. As good a plan as any is to
finish stripping before selling, and
have the buyer to subject the crop
to a thorough inspection in the shed
before signing a contract
Buyers are also in the field to
contract with farmers for trashy
leaves which are dropped in strip
ping at one cent a pound. — News.

Tobacco buyers have been doing
some riding during the week,
though no great amount of headway
has been accomplished in the way
of sales. The result of a continual
importuning of growers to accept
lower prices is evident from the
figures presented in the sales that
have come to notice.
Old leaf is moving in a moderate
way for which there continues an
excellent demand. Barnard &
Wilder purchased 500CS from
Stoughton dealers of late for the
account of Rossin & Co. S. B.
Heddles picked up 200CS of low
grade goods of local packers and
F. S. Baines sold noes to export,
comprises the transactions that
have come to notice.
Deliveries of the new crop are be-
ing made at a few of the packing
points where warehouse handling
has commenced. Many of the
growers now have their stripping
about completed and in some !
instances are preparing to sort and I
pack their crops.

First offerings of season this week
on the breaks, only 21 hhds. of
Common Leaf, largely in soft orders.
Hence prices were not up to ex-
pectations, and as intimated last
week the Stemmers will have a fine
opportunity to secure Stemming
Leaf at lower prices than loose pur-
chases. The old stocks are smal
and but little doing. The weather!
1 has been dry and harsh, preventing
movement of l«ose tobacco. T. D.
I Luckett was on the breaks, bidding
Ion the soft order tobaccos. He
knows a good thing when he sees
it. The prices were: Lugs, 4^ to
5c; Leaf, S/4 to 7c; Old Lugs, 4^
I to 6c; Leaf, 5^ to jy^c.
But few orders being in hands of
brokers, I think early sales will be
lowest.

The new crop is coming mort
freely and receipts for the week
were 456 hhds. Offerings on the
breaks were 18 hhds; public and
private sales 3 2 hhds . Old Tobacco
was a little easier in price for the
kinds offering. For the new crop
the market has hardly yet fully
opened, the breaks show mostly the
coarser kinds at present. With un-
favorable weather for examining
the crops in the barns, the loose to-
bacco market is more quiet.

News from Trade Centres
BOSTON.
A new jobbing firm has opened
for business in Boston under the
name of Justus & Gould. The
principals are Geo. W. Justus, who
has been in the business for some
years, and John W. Gould, formerly
New England representative of
Strater Bros. Tobacco Co. , of Louis-
ville, Ky.
Chas. B. Perkins, head of the
cigar importing and jobbing firm of
Chas. B. Perkins & Son, died re-
cently. Deceased is survived by a
widow and three children, one being
a partner in the business — Chas. B.
Perkins, Jr. Although 60 years of
age, up to the last day of his life
Mr. Perkins seemed in full vigor
and health. He had a large circle
of friends who mourn his loss.
Charles B. Perkins, Jr , will con
tinue the business established by
his late father. No change what
tver will be made in the conduct of
the business.
Samuel C, Jeitles, of Jeitles &
Blumenthal, Ltd., of Philadelphia,
has been visiting Hub trade lately.
Recent visits by Jac. Wertheim
and Chas. Hirschhorn, of the United
Cigar Manufacturers Co., has given
rise to the statement that several
important transactions were on foot.
Ed. Dalton has purchased the re
tail cigar business of Joseph &
Burton, at 113 Dearborn street.
A new deal is on with the "Pete
Dailey" cigar distributed here by
Gerson J. Brown & Co. Until
further notice, 100 cigars will be
given free with 1,000, the discount
being five and two off of $35 and an
extra two, if paid in ten days. Mr

holder of 80 per cent of the 1900
fancy, table assorted and resweated ,
tobacco. The remainder — consist- !
ing of about i ,400 cases — is held by

PITTSBURG.
The dealers of Pittsburg have
apparently had an exceptionally
good year in 1901, and once more

I
[ are usually a large number here
jeach week, are beginning to arrive.

A substantial progress was made

on their stogy products. Their
trade was increased fully 40 per
cent, over the previous year.
Leonard Wagner's Cuban stogies
have gained a reputation that is
ever increasing in its far reaching
effect.
The output of stogies in this dis-
trict last year was phenomenally
large.

C. J. Simons, representing La

will proceed to the factory head-
quarters at Tampa.
Baumgartner & Starr, local dis-
tributers for Boltz, Clymer&Co.,
Philada., have secured a prominent
retail stand.
TAMPA.
An attempt is now being made to
organize the cigarmakers, but it has
so far not been wholly successful.
The committee of the La Liga,
Havana, sent here for this purpose,
has become somewhat discouraged
and returned to Havana without
having accomplished their object.
Tampa had a good year in 1901,
as shown by the revenue returns,
although a trifle behind the record
of 1900, owing to the labor difl&-
culties which lasted four months.
The sale of stamps during the
year amounted to $367 383 38, and
the customs duties collected footed
up $865,409.82. The shipments of
cigars, in number of cases, were
about 2,000 less than in i*sOO.
There has been an influx of cigar-
makers from Cuba lately and large
numbers are arriving each week.
The M. J. Castro & Co. factory
at Port Tampa, was destroyed by
fire recently. It was a large estab-
lishment and its destruction inflicts
a heavy loss, as there was not much
insurance on building or contents.
The stock of tobacco on hand at
the time is said to have been quite
heavy. All was completely con-
sumed.
Over 1 ,000,000 cigars were turned
out during the month of December
at the Bustillo Bros & Diaz factory.
Mr. Demetrio D. Diaz, who had
charge of the firm's factory, died
recently at his home in West
Tampa.
HAVANA, CUBA.
Cuban manufacturers are gleeful
with prospects of a reduction of
50 per cent, on cigars going to the
States. At first it would probably
benefit manufacturers of established
brands most, but others hope to
benefit by it as well in the course
of time. The possible effect of
such action as regards American
manufacturers, should it be passed,
is not made quite clear.
Rain is reported to have fallen
recently in the tobacco raising dis-
tricts, greatly improving th« con-
ditions of the growing crop. Al-
though late, it may still be of some
benefit. The crop, it is said, will
be a small one.

has ruled that as the caution notice
plainly shows that the cigars were
manufactured in a factory outside
of Key West, he has no authority
for interfering, as any manufacturer
has the right to use the word Key
West, Tampa, New York, New
Orleans, of any other name of a
town or State as a trade mark or
brand, but that such name can not
be adopted by any single manufac-
turer to the exclusion of other man-
ufacturers. The label in question
is entirely separate from the caution
notice label, although appearing on
the same slip of paper, and the
Commissioner holds that it is not a
violation of Section 3399 of the
Revised Statutes, nor of the Regu-
lations; that, however, it is not per
missible for the name of the dealer
to appear printed on the same slip
of paper in connection with the
caution notice label in such manner
as to indicate that the dealer is the
manufacturer of the cigars, but the
name of the dealer may appear
where the name of the manufacturer
also appears in that connection.
Special Tax Liability.
The Commissioner has ruled that
the special tax liability of tobacco
dealers and manufacturers who were
engaged in business during the pre
vious fiscal year is predicated on the
total sales of that year, whether
they were in business during the
whole or only a part of the year,
and that if a manufacturer com-
menced business in April, selling
less than 100,000 cigars between
that time and July ist, he would
be liable to only $6 special tax for
the following year, even if his sales
should exceed ico.ooo or 200,000
during this year. In the case of a
manufacturer or dealer who was not
in business during the previous
fiscal year, however, he is required
to pay the minimum rate of tax on
commencing business,* and to make
a new return and pay a higher rate
of tax dating from the first day of
the month in which he commenced
business to the ist of July follow-
ing, if his sales afterward exceed
the limit for which he has already
paid.
Leaf Tobacco (or Export.
In reply to a petition for such an
amendment of the regulations relat-
ing to the sale of tobacco by leaf
dealers as would enable qualified
dealers to omit from their Record
59 all entries relating to the pur-
chase and sale of leaf tobacco for
export, the Commissioner has ruled
that such a modification of the
regulations could not be made with-
out amendment of Section 3360 of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, as amended by section 14,
act of March i, 1879, (20th Stat.
327). When properly kept the

residence and business of all persons
to whom the tobacco is sold— the
names of persons who buy tobacco
for export exclusively, and the
names of persons abroad who buy
tobacco directly from the dealer and
which he exports himself. The
petitioners have been advised that
no restriction is placed upon the
business of persons who buy and
export leaf tobacco exclusively, but
if a person buys leaf tobacco for the
export trade, and which he exports
himself and sells abroad, but inter-
mingles this tobacco with other
tobacco which he buys for resale in
the United States, and subsequently
sells a portion of his stock abroad
and a portion of the same general
stock in the United States, he will
be regarded as a leaf dealer and
must account for all tobacco that is
purchased and all tobacco sold, and
indicate its destination on his Book
59- If leaf dealers desire to be re
lieved from making entries of pur
chases of tobacco intended for ex-
port trade exclusively, and also
desire to sell leaf tobacco for resale
or consumption in the United States,
they should have separate places of
business and not intermingle their
export stock with stock intended
for domestic use.

IS no provision for the importation

4 and 5 of Article 16, of the Uni-
versal Postal Union Convention,
each government of the Union being
given the right to deliver or refuse
to deliver articles imported in the

Hence, all cigars, whether of do

Importation of Cigars by Mail.
In regard to the importation of
cigars by mail, the Commissioner
has ruled that Section 3804, R. S.,
as amended by Section 26 of the
act of August 28, 1894, provides
that no cigars shall be imported
unless packed in boxes containing
not more than 500 cigars each, that |
no entry of imported cigars shall be \
allowed of less than 3,000 cigars in
a single package, and that all cigars !
on importation shall be placed in a
public store or bonded warehouse, i
from which they shall not bt re-
moved until they shall have been
inspected and a stamp affixed to \
each package showing such inspec- I
tion, together with a serial number ]
to be recorded in the Custom House.
Section 3403, R. S. , provides that
all imported cigars shall pay, in
addition to the import duties im-
posed thereon, the tax prescribed
Disposal of Cigar Clippings from Porto Rico.
In passing upon the request of an
individual for permission to sell to
a qualified cigar manufacturer in
another district a quantity of to
bacco clippings which had been
brought from Porto Rico, a collector
was advised that there would be no
objection to his issuing a special
permitauthorizing thissale provided
it was found that the tobacco had
come into the owner's possession
lawfully, and without his having
incurred liability to duty or Internal
Revenue tax (as such clippings
should not have been delivered to
any person other than a qualified
manufacturer of tobacco or cigars,
without the payment of the Internal
Revenue tax. and also, if brought
into the United States before July
25. iqoi, without the payment of
the dutv): otherwise the facts would
be reported to the Collector of
Customs, and if there was any
question of the liability of this to-
bacco to tax or duty, it would be
proper for the collector of Internal
Revenue to take possession of th^
I tobacco until all questions of that
I character had been determined;
I further, that if this tobacco had been
i broueht into the United States by
the present applicant and released
to him inadvertently, not being a
manufacturer, the office saw no
reason why the tobacco should not
be transferred to a manufacturer,
but that such transfer should in-
clude all the tobacco which the ap-
plicant had in his possession, and
that he should be advised that any
tobacco material of that kind sold
to persons other than qualified
manufacturers of tobacco or cigars
was subject to the tax of 12 cents
per pound, and that some explana-
tion should be made relative to
such sales if any were made.

BY DIVERS HANDS
Chapter V. — NOT A PlRSllT-A PASSION.
By John R. You.\(,, of Young & Newman.
One evening in the winter of 17 76,
the Marqus de Chastellux, who
was one of the few Frenchmen of
his day able to read and speak
English, was discoursing to a few
of his friends in Paris of the De-
claration of Independence, that
stalwart document which a few
Virginia tobacco growers and others
had launched against a startled
Kingridden Europe only a few
months before.
Tjae Marquis knew many of the
Signers personally. He had ^ been
Mr. Jefferson's guest at Monticello
and had made the rounds of all
the houses of the tobacco, aristoc
racy of Virginia.
"Ah," said the Marquis to his
friends in Paris, "it is I who un-
derstand these noble spirits; the
stately diction, the phrase that al
ways fays something, the nobility
of soul, the generosity of spirit that
breathes in every line of the Declar-
ation, from whom else could it come
but from Jefferson, that perfect
cavalier, that most perfect of men?"
"Of what universities are the
men who hare written this wonder
ful paper?" asked one of the Mar-
quis' friends.
"Of no university," answered
the Marquis, "they are self taught,
at least the Virginians among them
are self taught. They are wealthy
land owners and tobacco growers.
The tutors employed to instruct
their sons are clergymen attached
to the estate, good natured, whole-
souled men of the cloth who ride
to hounds like all other gentlemen
in Virginia. Excellent masters of)
the classics, too, and devoted to
their pupils as few tutors are. And.
behold, the fruit of their labor is
men who can give to the world
such a document as their great De
claration. Show me the university
that can turn out men like them!"
exclaimed the Marquis, in a final
burst of enthusiasm.
Every well born Frenchman in
1776 was on the side of the Ameri
cans who had just thrown off their
allegiance to King Geoi^e, largely
through hatred of England, but also
because their cause had been so
warmly espoused by the Marquis
de La Fayette, their own country-
man. Everywhere the Marquis de
Chastellux went that winter, he
was importuned to tell his friends
of the Virginians. The interest
was not so keen about the chances
of the rebels, as it was about the
personality of their great men Was
General Washington handsome ?
Was Mr. Patrick Henry really elo
quent? Was Mr. Jefferson a rich
which Mr Jefferson kept open all
the year round to all who might
please to come. Offley. to my taste
at least, was the finer place of the
two "
"P'rom what treasure did these
Virginians supply the needs of such
splendid hospitality i*" some one
man? Thus the questions ran, and asked, and Chastellux answered;
Mr John
Chastellux endeavored to satisfy all
inquirers.
One story he was fond of telling
was always received with open
eyed amazement. It was his ac-
count of his stay at Oflley, the
splendid plantation on the James
of General Nelson.
"The place," he would say, "is
an earthly paradise. The house is
not a chateau, as it would be were
General Nelson's estate in France,
but it is a mansion much larger than
most of our chateaux, and furnished
throughout in the most exquisite
taste. When I was there fifteen or
sixteen years ago, Offley was the
most hospitable home in Virginia,
not even excepting Monticello,
R Young
"From the sale of their tobacco
The grand seigneurs of Virginia
are all tobacco planters. It is a
gentlemanly way of earning huge
incomes. Every plantation has
hundreds of slaves who work in
the fields, or at clearing new ground
for the crop, all the year round, and
their masters are required to give
but a ^hort time to the product and
that only at the harvest, and yet it
is a most singular thing: tobacco
appeared to be the only topic on
earth which interested General Nel
son and his friends from other Vir
ginian plantations at the time I was
his guest. While I was at Offley
there came two days when it was
impossit)le for any of the gentlemen
to go out of doors. We stayed in
the house the whole time. You
know what we would have done
had we been stopping at a country
house in France or in England: we
should have played trie trac, or loo
or whist without interiiiission, but
at Offley, on those two memorable
days, cards were not even men-
tioned. The talk was of tobacco,
of tobacco only, and of nothing
else. No one seemed to dream that
sensible men could have any other
interest. They talked of the fields
they would get ready for the next
year; of the seed they would plant;
of the crop they expected to raise;
of the prices the crop would bring;
of how the last crop had turned out,
and so on, and so on, interminably
and ever with fresher interest
throughout the whole two days."
"It must have bored you, at
least, ' ' ventured one of the Marquis'
listeners.
"On the contrary," he answered,
"It was all most singularly charm-
ing, but then you must remember,
first that among the talkers were
such masters of expression as Mr.
Henry and Mr. Jefferson, and
secondly, that with these Virginia
planters tobacco is not a pursuit,
but a passion."
Well, the Marquis de Chastellux
sleeps with his fathers, but the ob-
servation which he made that to-
bacco with those who are in any
manner concerned with it is not a
pursuit but a passion was true not
only of the colonial Virginians. It
is true of all men, in every part of
the world, who are in any manner
concerned with tobacco, and of none
may it be spoken with greater truth
than of ourselves.

Expert Street Advertising.
The Newman Bros. Co., of 152
East Twenty third street , New York ,
manufacturers of all tobacco cigar-
ettes, cigars and cheroots, are ad-
vertising their "Ketchem" cigarros
in an original and taking way. L.
N. Crawford, formerly an actor with
one of the Arizona companies, ap
pears on the street each day in the
fantastic dress and with the chalked
face of a circus clown, his breast
and back displaying the name of
the brand. He cuts up many an-
tics in the street such as a real
clown would perform in the ring,
and invariably attracts crowds of'
pleased onlookers, each of whom
bears away in his memory the name
of the cigarro which it is the clown's
business to bring to the attention of.
the public in this manner. |
The "Ketchem" is a short smoke
of quality. It is union made. It
is a full Havana filler, with a Con- 1
necticut broad leaf wrapper. The
company began making this cigarro
in May last, and has met with un
usual success, particularly in New
York, New England and the West.
The company has branch stores at
02 West II 6th street and 2156
Eighth avenue. A third branch
store will be opened at Twenty-
third street and Madison avenue, on
the site of the old Academy of De-
sign, as soon as the new building is
ready for occupancy.
The officers of the Newman Bros.
Co. are J. A. Newman, President,
R. E. A. Doerr, Jr., Vice President,
and O. M. Newman, Secretary and
Treasurer. J. A. Newman and O.
M. Newman were formerly with D.
H. McAlpin & Co.
The company's advertising will
be chiefly street work. It is about
to send forth a man attired as a con-
vict, his breast and back bearing the
name of the brand, with another
man, dr ssed as a constable, in
comic pursuit.

LITTLE LIVES OF THE GREAT.
C. Van der Honert.
This Dutchman is the present
head of the Deli Maatschappij, the
mountain which will not go to
Mohammed.
If Mr. Duke wants the D. M. he
will have to wait on Mr. Van der
Honert.
C. Van der Honert is Holland's
great living proof that even in that
teeny weeny country, where every-
thing goes by rule, Reward some-
times catches up with Merit.
When P. W. Janssen, two years
ago, made up his mind that the
otium cum dig. was good enough
tor him after his long years of dig-
ging for otium, he selected C Van
der H. as his successor instead of
some one of the big stock holders
in the D. M., and simply because
Van knew more about Sumatra than
anybody else.
C. Van der H. is only about 45,
just about Mr. Duke's age.

Mr. Frye has attempted to ex-
plain his position as regards his
utterances as given in a printed
pamphlet circulated by him among
the members of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House, but in do-
ing so, as was shown in his state-
ment published in these columns,
he persistently refrains from any
reference to the proposed reduction
of duty on cigars coming from Cuba,
notwithstanding that he argued so
eloquently for a reduction in the
pamphlet referred to. He has been
again elected President of the New
England Tobacco Growers' Associ-
ation, but was not permitted to
represent them in Washington last
week, although personally quite
conspicuous.
He may have some more satis-
factory explanations to make before
he can regain the former conBdence
reposed in him by the many mem-
bers of that association.
An association of clear Havana
cigar manufacturers has now been
formed which promises to be perma-
nent and of possibly much benefit.
Its instigation was created by an
emergency . but it should be eflFective
for all that. Its membership does
not yet, perhaps, include a majority
of the clear Havana manufacturers,
but that could hardly be expected
in view of the very short time
allowed for its formation. The ad-
vantages of such an association,
have, however, been made manifest,
which argues much in favor of in-
creasing membership, and as its
benefits become more apparent the
united support of the entire clear
Havana trade may be reasonably
expected.
At the reception to the delegations
of the tobacco trade, which was ac-
corded them by President Roosevelt
on Wednesday last, the Nation's
Chief Executive intimated that it
was his plain duty to see to it that
only such concessions, if any, were
made to Cuba as would not in any
way injure or adversely affect home
industry. This pleased the delega-
tions mightily, and they appear to
be unanimously of the opinion that
the matter will receive his personal
attention and influence, and that
Congress will be advised to act most
deliberately in the premises.
So far as the House is concerned,
all that is possible has been done,
and it is also quite likely that an
opportunity will be yet had to cover
the ground in a similar way before
a Senate Committee some time in
the near future At any rate, the
Senate is regarded as the more de-
liberate body, and it is therefore
only reasonable to believe that an-
other opportunity will be given the
trade, when the matter comes up
for consideration before it.
Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee are now tak-
ing up the matter of war revenue
reduction, and a hearing has been
already given to the beer men.
Nothing has yet been heard as to
the prospects of a reduction or
elimination of the licenses for leaf
tobacco dealers, cigar and tobacco
manufacturers and wholesale and
retail dealers, excepting that the
leaf tobacco dealers of the South
will make an effort in that direction.
The present licensing system, of
course, rightfully belongs to war
revenue taxation.
On the 2ist inst the common
stock of The American Tobacco
Company was stricken from the
oflBcial list by the New York Stock
Exchange, the Exchange having
been informed by officials of The
American Tobacco Company that
only about 1 per cent., or a little
over $540,000 of the Company's
stock was outstanding.
This was perhaps the result of the
peculiar manipulations of the stock,
which had jumped fifty points in a
day. It was regarded as evidence
that the Consolidated Co. was to
buy in all nonassenting stock. A
block of stock was offered the latter
company at $500 a share, but the
company would not take it.
Deficiency Bill Reported.
Congressman Cannon, Chairman
of the Committeeon Appropriations,
has reported an urgent deficiency
bill. The bill is to be called up for
consideration this week. It carries
appropriations of $16,701,415, dis
tributed among the different depart-
ments, and among the important
items included in the bill is the re-
bate to tobacco and cigar manufac-
turers and dealers, amounting to

GEORGIA.
Joel Chandler Harris, whose
"Uncle Remus" the whole world
has read with delight, told an inter
viewer the other day that the
Georgia "uncle" of the present day
was in every way a brighter and a
better informed man than the
''uncle" of the preceding generation
had been. Mr. Harris did not go
into details nor offer any explana
tion on this subject, but it is per
fectly fair to assume that the ad
vancement of the negroes of Georgia
is owing in some measure and per
haps in greater measure than most
people who have not given the suf)
ject any thought or attention might
suspect, to the fact that the colored
brother in Georgia long ago learneii
to smoke cigars People both
white and black, are unconsciously
educated by rational pleasures, and
no pleasure can be named more
rational than the smoking of cigars
If the cigars are of a fair average-
quality, as they are in Georgia, it is
all the better.
So much for the negro cigar lovers
of the State which the genius of Mr
Harris has made more widely known
than before. The white people of
Georgia are liberal buyers of cigars,
and Atlanta, Savannah and Rome
are good distributing centres It is
interesting to note in passing that
one of the favorite nickel brands in
Georgia is named after another
Georgia editor, the late Henry W
Grady. Mr. Grady during the
maturity of his powers was at the
head of the daily in Atlanta which
was the competitor and rival of the
newspaper with which Mr Harris
was so long and so honorably con
nected. Mr. Harris has achieved a
wider and a loftier fame than that
which attaches to the memory of
Henry W Grady, yet no cigar has
been named after Mr. Harris
From the cigar man's point of
view, Georgia is, all things con
sidered, one of the best states in the
whole South. The northern way
of looking at things is more preval
ent in Georgia than it is in any
other strictly southern state The
people are progressive, enterprising

schools, good theatres and, in At
lanta for a certainty, excellently
well edited newspapers, and these
things, as we have had occasion to
remark before, always indicate com-
munities in which the sales of good
cigars keep pace with the procession.

FLORIDA.
Outside the cities of Tampa, Key
West, Jacksonville and St. Angus
tine, and such winter resorts as
Palm Beach and Miami, not many
cigars are smoked in Florida ('he
State is thinly populated and not
over prosperous Phe operatives in
the great factories in Tampa and
Key West, of course, consume a
great many cigars but, like their
brethren in the cigar factories of
Havana, they pay for very few of
them The bulk of those which
they smoke are given to them gratis
by their employers.
At Palm Beach and at the great
hotels in St. Augustine during the
winter season very many of the
finest cigars, both those made in
Pampa or Key West or imported
from Havana, are smoked but these
are fairly to be credited not to the
people of Florida but to the guests
from the north.
It is a fact, though, that most of
the cigars smoked by the permanent
residents of the cities of Florida are
made either in Tampa, Key West
or Jacksonville, and perhaps not a
few of them from tobacco grown
from Cuban seed in Gadsden county.

and his as.sociates started in business
in a very modest way To day
each owns his own home in Lima
and the company conducts its man
ufacturing operations in its own
building, a handsome brick struc-
ture four stories high, and with a
large basement. The factory is
equipped with every modern con-
venience and possesses some very
novel and practicable features of its
own.
The Deisel- Wemmer Co. turns
out only hand-made cigars It
trains its own work people and em-
ployers and employed get along
beautifully on a basis of reciprocal
esteem and good will The com-
pany's leading nickel brand is the
*San Felice" and it is the plain
unvarnished truth that the com
pany's facilities are taxed to the ut
most to keep up with the demand
So prosperous is the company
that the trade which is acquainted
with it readily credited the state
ment which was current some time
ago that the American Cigar Com
pany was on the point of buying the
company out for $250,000. There
wasn't a word of truth in the story
and the probability is that the
Deisel Wemmer Co will go on at
tending successfully to its own busi-
ness for a great many prosperous
years to come.
*
On the surface, the leaf market
during the week ended January 25,
was quiet. The truckmen com-
plained that they had moved mighty
little tobacce, yet the leaf dealers
say that on the whole a fair busi
ness was done for future delivery.
Cigar manufacturers and manufac-
turers of little cigars were so greatly
interested in the tariff hearings at
Washington that they had no time
to come down to the leaf market
As soon, however, as the reciprocity
matter is disposed of and manufac
turers realize that they must replen-
ish their stocks of leaf, business in
the leaf market will become more
brisk than it has been for a number
of months past.
Manufacturing jewelers appear to
have discovered a bonanza in gun
metal cigarette cases, for they are
selling great numbers of them and
are constantly making them more
beautiful. For instance, Billy Lock
wood, chief of Robert E. line's
staff at Mr. Lane's main store at
push button But the cunning
jeweler has done marvels with the
black metal by giving it the ap-
pearance of a piece of watered black
silk It is a most successful imita-
tion. Billy won't say who gave him
the cij^arette case. Whoever it was
had exquisite taste.
*
The total production of cigars in
the United States for the twelve
months ended December 31, 190 1,
was 5, 9[9, 312, 049, an increase of
460,476 344, over the calendar year
1900. The total production of little
cigars in 1901 was 749.667,061, an
increase of 125,909,521. The total
production of manufactured tobacco
in 1901 was 289, 42c, 737 lbs., an in-
crease of 4,354,613. The total pro-
duction of cigarettes in 1901 was
2.416,713,768, a decrease as com-
pared with 1900 of 161,400,939.
Lewis Mayer, who is spending
his time as best he can in Ludlow
street jail, because the Appellate
Division of the New York Supreme
Court refuses to vacate the body
execution against him in the Martin
Lehman matter, as was stated in
last week's letter, will probably
elect to remain where he is until
April I when his term of imprison-
ment expires by limitation of the
law. Ludlow street jail is said to
b** not such a bad retreat if one is
fond of pinochle.
Martin Lehman began suit against
Lewis Mayer for the recovery of
thirty seven cases of Connecticut to-
bacco in 1896 and the case went
steadily against the defendant.
Nevertheless, he continued to
fight it.
In the trial before Justice Russell
on Jun? 5. 1^00, judgment was
rendered in Lehman's favor for$4,-
239 78, the court's finding being
that Lewis Mayer, without the
knowledge of the plaintiff had re-
ceived the thirty seven cases, the
same being the property of the
plaintiff and had removed and dis-
posed of them with the intent that
they should not be found or taken
by the sheriff.
Lehman's counsel throughout the
entire litigation have been the mem-
bers of the firm of Einstein, Town-
send, Guiterman & Shearn. Mayer
was originally represented by Simp-
son & Mayer, later by Joseph Koch
and still later by Benjamin Tuska,

and the fight put up for his client
by Mr. Tuska was a lively one. He
and the opposing counsel said a
number of those pretty things about
one another in which able lawyers

uary 20 in a victory for Mr. Lehman

judgment or stay in Ludlow street

were precisely the course he prefers

*
It seems to be taken for granted
that Congress will give the Cubans
some sort of reciprocity in the matter
of leaf tobacco. The general im-
pression appears to be that it will be
a concession of from 25 per cent, to
50 per cent, and leaf importers seem
willing to face the inevitable. The
manufacturers of clear Havana ci-
gars are deeply concerned as to the
reciprocity which Congress will
grant in the matter of cigars manu-
factured in Havana. If the duty is
to b« only 50 per cent, of the present
rates the manufacturers say that the
import stamp should at least come
off. That stamp is virtually the
guarantee of two governments that
the cigars contained in the box
bearing it are imported. Cuban ci-
gars are the only article of foreign
merchandise which has such a
guarantee and if the stamp is not
removed under the reciprocity
measure American manufacturers
of competing clear Havana cigars
will have to work under conditions
the most discouraging. If it is re-
moved, however, they will have a
fair field and say they have no
reason to fear the outcome.
All those who wtnt down to
Washington last week agree in say-
ing that if Congress this time dis-
regards the unanimous voice of all
those who spoke for the tobacco, the
cigar and the cigarmaking interests
it will give such an txhibition of
callousness as no legislative body,
in the United States, at least, ever
gave before.

Robbers and theives seem to have
been working overtime lately in
this city. The policemen of the
Fourth District arrested last week
in the building at 232 Race street,
Charles Gibson, of Seventh and
Race streets, and William Clemen-
ger, of Mt. Holly, N. J., who were
found in the building having packed
up a quantity of cigars to carry
away, when their operations were
interrupted. They were held under
$1 ,500 bail for a further hearing this
week. Charles Henry, of 815
Willow street, and Edwin Smith, of
Chelten avenue and Limekiln Pike,
werearraigned in the Central Station
last week charged with the larceny
of 12,500 cigars worth $500 from
the Reading Railroad. The cigars
had been stolen several days before,
near Wayne Junction. Henry was
arrested on Friday afternoon at
Eighth and Vine streets and when
a policeman went to the man's
room he recovered the cigars.
Henry said he was taking care of
them for a man who had bought
them at an auction. Smith's arrest
soon followed. Both of the accused
were held under $1,200 bail for a
hearing on Friday next. This
makes at least twelve or fifteen
robberies of cigar stores and kindred
establishments which have been re-
ported during the past month.
Wm. M. Frost, a deputy collector '
of Internal Revenue, who visits the
cigar and tobacco trade in the
vicinity of Third and Arch streets,
was arraigned before Magistrate !
Jermon, charged with perjury and
intent to defraud, by Chandler Bros,
stock brokers of this city, by whom
it is alleged that he gave them
orders to sell 100 shares of Northern
Pacific, one lot to be sold at 105 and
the other at 123. On December 10
Frost made aflBdavit that he had
never authorized the orders. P.
M. Chandler produced the orders,
which he swore he had seen the de-
fendant sign. The examination
was continued until Friday.
Much activity has been displayed
by T. J. Dunn & Co. during the
pjesent year, and J. C. Heymann,
of this firm, reported to the Para-
grapher to-day that they were never
busier, that at present they were
about ten days behind in their
orders, and that within another
week a new factory will be opened
by them, which it is hoped will en-
able them to fill orders promptly.
J. A. Rigby and John N. Kolb,
of the Theobald & Oppenheimer Co.
are now in Havana looking after
their tobacco purchases in that city.
The party is expected to return to
the factory headquarters by the end
of this week.
W. K. Roedel Co. are now dis-
tributing some new signs for out-
door use. The signs are made of
wood, and about four feet long,
making a very striking appearance.
They are now being distributed
among the firm's numerous custom-
ers in this city and other places,
Frank Teller, of Frank Teller &
Co., is making a flying western
trip. At this writing he is viiiting
the trade in Denver, and may re-
turn to this city next week. It is
reported at their office that he has
been meeting witii a hearty re-
ception all along the line, and that
orders for the "Royal Blue" and
"La Flor de Teller" are multiply-
ing at a rapid rate.
Quite a nice lot of tobacco was
recently received at the factory of
Ventura Blanco, which was pur-
chased by him when he was in
Cuba during the past few weeks.
Some extensive billboard adver-
tising is being done by Oblinger
Bros. & Co. on their "Vesper" five
cent cigar, throughout this city and
along ■ the railroads, extending as
far as Reading.
Stephano Bros, of this city, well-
known Egyptian cigarette manu-
facturers, who have for some time
occupied the building at 904 Wal-
nut street, have recently leased the
building at 911 Walnut street, and
expect to have 150 operatives at
work before the end of this week.
It is easily the most extensive ci-
garette factory that this city has
ever known. Their "Ramesis II"
has become a firmly established
brand with thousand* of smokers
who enjoy the delicate aroma of
pure Turkish tobacco, rolled in the
true Egyptian style of workman-
ship. Their goods are now as well
known in New York, Boston, Chi-
cago and Denver as they have been
for some years in this city.

IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
One of the social functions of the
present society season will no doubt
be the marriage of Mr. Milton
Herold, the popular secretary of
the Loeb Nunez Havana Co., which
will take place on the 1 2th proximo.
The bride to be is Miss Jessie L.
Wedell. The marriage ceremony
is to take place at the home of the
bride at 141 o North Broad street.
A bridal tour has been arranged
and the couple are to spend their
honeymoon in Florida.
It is reported to day that Julius
Marquesee, of New York, while in
this city during several days of last
week, disposed of about 700 cases
of different kinds of tobacco.
The trade in this city has been
rather quiet, but traveling seems to
be more than usually active. J.
W. Eckerson, of F. Eckerson &
Co , is making a tour among the
firm's customers in New York city.
Pom Stavely, of the John B Heil
Co , is spending the week among
Pennsylvania manufacturers, as is
Leu Mueller, of Dohan & Taitt.
F. Eckerson & Co's. full page
ad. this week tells the whole story,
but wastes no words in doing it:
"300 bales of the finest and lightest
Connecticut wrappers." Not much
chance to misunderstand that state-
ment.
Dohan & Taitt are receiving en-
couraging reports from Ed. Levison,
their Western representative, and
some highly satisfactory orders
have been received from him this
year.
Frank Dominguez, of E. A.
Calves & Co., is expected home
from Cuba this week. The firm
has jmst received an invoice of 62
bales of Havana tobaccos, recently
purchased by Mr. Dominguez.
Benj. Labe, the head of the firm
of Benj. Labe & Sons, informs me
that they have had a highly satis-
factory business this year, and that
Jake Labe, of this firm, is doing ex-
ceptionally well in the West.
Sidney Labe is making his accus-
tomed rounds in Pennsylvania.
Julius Vetterlein is expecting to
make a visit to Cuba, and will
leave here on Friday, via Tampa.
Among the week's visitors were
S. L. Johns, McSherrystown, Xeno-
phon Hanna, leaf tobacco packer
of Dayton, O., W. E. Gheen, Antis
Fort, Pa, and J. W. Duys, of H.
Duys, Jr., New York. Mr. Duys
will visit the trade here in company
with J. A. Kinney, the local repre-
sentative of the house.
PHILADA LEAF MARKET.
A somewhat improved condition
now exists in the leaf trade of this
city, although they have not yet
fully recovered from the warm agi-
tation of the Cuban reciprocity mat-
ter, which was the chief topic of
discussion among the trade during
last week. Manufacturers seem to
be more willing to look over sam-
ples and that some purchases will
result is only reasonable to expect.
Pennsylvania broad leaf has re-
ceived considerable attention and
an excellent demand still exists for
light Connecticut wrappers. In
any event leaf salesmen are now
becoming more active as the season
advances, and some good results
may be expected.
In Havana no large transactions
were reported but not a few are
pending.
A moderate business has been
done in Sumatra, but the trans-
actions of the week are not as satis-
factory as hoped for.

The leaf market of this city has
been fairly active again. Three
packings, aggregating 3,000 cases,
changed hands, the purchasers be
ing nearly all New York firms
Leaf dealers have also had a fair
trade. Considerable buying of the
new crop is now going on, prices
ranging at a fair average from 7J2
to 8 cents. But few crops were
sold at more than S}4 cents, with
the exception of Havana, one crop
of half an acre, which was pur-
chased at 10 and 2. Large quanti
ties of tobacco were received last
week, and warehouse vicinities now
presenta moreanimated appearance.

BADGER STATE NOTES.
Some riding has been done lately
Deliveries of the new crop are be-
ing made at a few of the packing
points where warehouse handling
was commenced.
About 500 cases were recently
purchased for S. Rossin & Sons.
The American Tobacco Co.
opened a big plant last week at
Sparta, employing about 350 hands;
this force is to be increased to 500,
mostly girls. Local merchants are
delighted with this turn of affairs.
Mr. Joel, of Edgerton & Joel,
Boston, Mass., has been through

Charles F. Tallard is now on a

CONNECTICUT VALLEV NOTES.
At Sutter Bros' warehouse in
Hatfield, ten tons of Havana seed
leaf was recently received from Suf
field. About 80 tons have been
sorted and packed so far this season .
Bij ur & Son have also been receiv-
ing considerable tobacco lately.
CINCINNATI.
Trade conditions are normal at
present, there being no particular
change to be noted in the general
trend of affairs.
Nothing of a very startling nature
is happening, and the volume of
business is about equal that of the
usual January.
Alexander Pappenheimer, who
was appointed one of two delegates
to represent Cincinnati at Wash
ington last week, when the leaf
dealers had their little spiel before
the Ways and Means Committee,
was unable to attend, owing to a
sudden illness on Sunday morning.
Mr. Lang T, Anderson, Jr., made
the trip himself and ably did all
that was required of him. He
stated that it was his, as well as the
general impression that little or no
change would be wrought in the
tariff at this session of Congress
Mr. Pappenheimer is not seriously
ill, his condition at present being
much improved.
The cigar leaf auction market
last Saturday amounted to 153 cases,
including offerings of the old and
new. There were 82 cases of old
Zimmer, which brought an average
price of $5.08; 18 cases of Northern
Ohio, averaging $6.65; 13 cases of
old Dutch, bringing $7.02; 16 cases
of old Seed Leaf, selling at I3.80;
1 2 cases of new Dutch, averaging
$2 so; 4 cases of new Seed Leaf,
bringing $2 65 and 5 cases of new
Zimmer, bringing $3.15. The
market was only fair, the poor light
affecting the buying to no incon-
siderable degree.
Mr. Henry Tietig has been elected
a director of the local Seed Leaf
Board of Trade, to serve as such
during the coming year.
Hirsch Bros., the local manufac-
turers have struck a good thing.
During the holidays they made as
an experiment, a large two for-a-
quarter size of their "La Verena"
clear Havana brand, and introduced
it to their trade. It proved to be
just the thing, and at once became
popular. Now it forms one of their
regular sizes and they report an ex-
cellent trade on it.
A very heavy run in the way of
window displays is being made here
on the "Turkish Trophies" high
grade cigarettes. The displays are
very pretty, the color scheme in all
instances being a rich, oriental red,
giving a splendid effect. Dealers
pronounce the brand as rapidly be-
coming a prime favorite.
A fine shipment, including var-
ious sizes, of "La Flor de Ruy
Lopez," the leading clear Havana
brand made by the Ruy Lopez Co.,
has been received by W. W. Boz-
man, who states that it is one of his
best sellers. The label is especially
unique.
The "Woodlawn Lily" nickel
brand formerly handled by Krohn
Bros., in a jobbing way, has now
been acquired by them as a private
brand, and they intend to make it
one of the most prominent nickel
brands in the city.
Quite an array of cigar leaf sales-
men are in town, their number in-
cluding H«nry Hollander and Chas.
Waxelbaum, of A. Cohn & Co.;
Al. Ettlinger, of Emanuel Hoffman
& Sons.; F. Inkstietter, of John
Brand & Co., Nestor Schloss, back

Steady packing and sampling of
the 1900 crop is now going on in
the country, and the samples are
showing up nicely. Those who
have choice packings will make

A new nickel brand has been
taken on by Peebles. It is a clear
Havana cigar, made by Renach,
Thorsch & Co., of Philadelphia,
and is called "Gorilla Brevas."
They are selling very rapidly.
Joseph Wertheim, of E. M.
Schwarz & Co., was a welcome
visitor here this week. He spoke
very enthusiastically of the outlook,
and expects to greatly increase the
trade of his firm this year. Mr.
Wertheim, by the way, is going
to contribute to the Comic History
of Tobacco now running in The
Tobacco World, but he would
divulge nary a word as to how he
was going to treat his subject.
J. S. Dunlap representing Ar-
guelles, Lopez & Co., was also a
visitor here this week, as was Mr,
Levy, of the Wm. Demuth Co. Mr.
Morris, representing Sauchez & Co.,
was also here.
SAN FRANCISCO.
There is complaint among the
trade here of the lateness of the ar-
rival of shipments of Tampa goods.
Consequently they are looking for-
ward to the coming of Sam Caro,
which was expecttd on Monday of
this week, hoping to glean some
satisfactory knowledge of the actual
situation. Mr. Caro is the repre-

"But it might put a lew of the
New England tobacco growers out
of business," he said. "Naturally
it would stimulate the business oi
growing tobacco in Cuba, and a
curtailment of production in the
United States would benefit thf
Cuban farmer. Last year the firm
of Louis Peters & Co. packed about
5,000 bales of Havana tobacco,
valued at about $250,000, buying
it direct from the growers and pack
ing it at our warehouses in Cuba
Some of this was high grade to
bacco, some of the bales being worth
$Soo apiece. Others went as low
I as $14 a bale. Most of this cheap
|stufi"goes to Germany. The sale
1 of Ziramer Spanish, which is grown
^ principally in Ohio, and which has
long been used as a filler, being
substituted for Havana tobacco in
five cent cigars, keeps up to the
average. It will be some time be
fore the Cuban product can possi
bly supplant the Zimmer. The
best Zimmer is better than the
poorest Havana tobacco. No, I do
not think we will have a cheap ci
gar, say a five-cent grade, that will
contain a fair quality of Havana
tobacco for several years." — De-
troit Free Press.
Holsmeister Bros., cigar manu-
facturers at Salina, Kan., have just
taken possession of a recently
erected building for their cigar
manufacturing business.

THE TOBACCO WORLD
THE TOOL AND
^ THE HAND ^
By use of the DuBruI Dieless Suction Table
and the hand of the operator you get a perfect
cigar, and a perfect cigar is what we are
looking lor.
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 admit is
altogether too much
for us.
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 you at our
offices.

THE TRADE IN READING.
Reading, Pa., Jan. 25, 190a.
Internal Revenue Collector Fred.
W. Cranston has just closed up his
books for 1901 for this division.
This is one of the leading districts
in the United States. It now com-
prises Berks and Lehigh counties;
the latter was added during the
year. In the manufacture of the
cigar output for this district 2,239,-
905 pounds of tobacco were used
by the manufacturers The num
ber of cigars made was 1 25,334,700
There were sold during the year
125,008,673. The product shows
an increase of 43,270,582 over the
previous year, this gain was due to
the fact that Lehigh was added to
this district. There were 307 cigar
and tobacco factories in operation
in the division, and the rate of man-
ufacture was 18 pounds of tobacco
to 1 ,000 cigars. A quarter of a mil-
lion pounds of tobacco was packed
by the manufacturers of smoking
tobacco in two ounce packs princi-
pally. There are 20 registered
leaf tobacco dealers in this district.
P. A. Russel filed a bond for a
new cigar factory which he started
up at 446 North Ninth street last
week. He will introduce several
catchy brands in a week or ten days
but as yet has not distributed any
goods.
Cigar manufacturer Frank Ganter,
whoShas his factory in the rear of
his residence, 11 r North Ninth
street, is exceedingly busy, and
employs a force of twelve hands on
full time. He recently enlarged
his factory.
Quite a surprise was sprung on
the admirers of local femininity last
week, when announcement was
made that the proprietors of the
leading hotels and cafes in this city
have found it necessary to prohibit
the smoking of cigarettes by young
girls and women in the parlors and
drinking rooms of their establish-
ment. The announcement that
matrons and maids are addicted to
the smoke habit in Reading caused
no little surprise, and anxious
parents are submitting their daugh-
ters to severe cross examinations.
The cigarette fad, it is asserted has
gained quite a foot hold among
young women here and steps will
be taken to prohibit the indulgence.
County Detective Regely, who
, was sworn into ofiice on the advent
} of the new year, made another raid
on the operators of slot machines
' in this city and confiscated several.
Warrants were sworn out for several
of our prominent merchants, but
fortunately none of the offenders
are among the list who were recently
tried by Judge Ermentrout, who
held sentence and fine over them
for their future good behavior.
What will become of these cases
remains a question, for the court
has given repeated warning and is
bound to oust the slot machine.
A well known local cigar dealer
of this city was arrested on the
charge of selling cigarettes to small
boys. About fifteen boys ranging
in age from seven to eleven years
testified that they got cigarettes and
tobacco at his place of business.
E. E. Taylor, is still maintaining
the highest grade of excellence and
quality in his popular brands, and
his local trade is moving alongjvtry
nicely.

They are very busy on their lo-cent
product, the "Tulpehocken." J.
L. Lengel, a member of the firm,
leaves shortly on an extended trip
in the interest of their new brand
the "Floradelphia."
The cigar leaf men here are quiet.
The united expression of the trade
is against tampering with the tariff
on Cuban tobacco, and they hope
for no change.
Harry T. Pick is meeting with
great success on his popular brands,
the "Antietam" and "Thorough-
bred." He has embarked exclu
sively in the manufacture of union
made goods, and the indications
are he will double his output this
year.
William W. Riegel says that since
the introduction of his new brand,
the "Quintus," the demand for this
article by a special class of patrons
in the coal region can hardly be
supplied fast enough.
H. H. Sheeler is more than
pleased with his business of last
year, and the indications are that
he will double it this year. The
"Havanola," his 5 cent lead«r, en-
joys one of the largest local trades
in the city, and is shipped in large
numbers throughout the state.
William A. Smith has moved his
cigar and tobacco store from 1752
to 1735 Cotton street.
H. H. Wentzel is meeting with
great success on his new brand, the

and now has more ample facilities.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
The are a few sales of tobacco oc
cnrring in some of our towns and
at ridiculously low prices. It seems
as though the small growers were
demented to sell their crops as they
have done. It looks as though
the packers were banded together to
cut down the figures for which they
bargained for the crops in the field
last fall. They ignore to a large
extent their previous bargains. The
result is that a general discontent
pervades the whole tobacco growing
community, and many men who
have been growing tobacco quite
extensively are now intending to
turn their attention to growing
onions, and already land has been
bought for the erection of cold
storage facilities near the stations on
the railways. It may be good
policy for the packers to pursue the
course they have, but we fail to see
it. Honor among thieves is said to
be commendable. Whether it is or
not among tobacco packers i5 the
prominent query.
Very many of our best growers
are assorting their crops and will
pack them. Others who have no
facilities for doing the work properly
are having it done. We have in
mind one who raised some twelve
tons. A part of it was badly in-
jured. It was bargained for at 21c.
The buyer kicked on account of the
damage. The owner went to work,
untied each bundle and went
through it, removing every leaf that
wasn't right. He took out one ton,
that he now holds, delivered the
sound leaf and took his money.
Our correspondents write :
North Hatfield: "John Brennan
was docked from i7^c to iic,
Charles Wait sold at 9c, A. H.
Marsh for 1 2c, A. E. Harris for loc.
What are the farmers thinking
about? Men working in the big
shops say they find no more sweat
leaf than usual."
Hatfield: "Much complaint is
I made on account of serious cutting
' on delivery of tobacco. Some are
1 docked one- half from agreed price.
A few lots have been sold of late at
1 2 to 1 3c in the bundle. All of our
assorting shops are working to their
full capacity, putting up farmers'
crops by the pound; farmers un-
willing to sell at prices offered."
Conway: "We have had quite a
number of sales of tobacco this week.
I hear of a Philadelphia buyer pay-
ing from 3 to IOC The 3 cent was
hail cut. The most of them got
from 7 to 8c. A few small lots
were bought by Belden of Hatfield
at 6 to 7c. None of the larger
growers have sold. Some have a
good start at assorting. I have
one sale of a very nice crop at 20."
Whately: "Thomas Fleming sold
iiis crop, 10 acres, lo^c; J E.
waite. 3acresat I ic; E C Warner,
II tons at 21C. Some crops have
gone to Hatfield to be assorted and
force sweat ' '
Northfield: "Several crops of to-
bacco have been sold and de-
livered at Sutter's packing house at
Brattleboro; have not heard the
price paid "
Vernon, Vt.: "I have the follow-
ing list of sales to Sutter Bros, to
report: George Hubbard, ij4 acres
at 9c; E H. Ackley, 4 acres at 9c;
A. J. Barnes, 2 acres at 8c; T. E.
Stockwcll, 2}4 acres at 9c; M. H.
Powers, I acre at 9c; C. H. Newton,
3 acres at 8c; Frank Scott, 2j4 acres
at 9c; L. L. Wetherhead, 3 acres at
9c; Alfred Johnson, i^ acres at 8c;
Ora Johnson, i}4 acres at 7^c; all
in the bundle. Then Bidwell &
Loomis bought of F. W. Johnson,
2 acres at 9c; E. Blodgett, 1 acre at
loc; E. Tyler, i^ acres at loc."
It seems as though our New Eng-
land growers made a mistake when
they resolved to opposed any and all
concessions on the Cuban tobacco.
They will learn that "half a loaf is
better than no bread." There it
nothing more probable to happen
than that reciprocity between Cuba
and our Government will prevail,
and our growers should take a
sensible view of the case, and use
their influence to procure the best
possible results. — American Culti-
vator.
BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
The mark.-t is quiet, few of the
local buyers having been riding.
The deliveries of crops already
purchased continue, and the ware-
houses where assorting is being
done are handling a considerable
amount of tobacco daily. K. S.

New York's Strong Protest.
Brief Presented by President Jos.
F. Cullman, of the Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade of New York,
before the Committee of Wa>s
and Means.
To the Honorable the Committee
of Ways and Means:
Gentlemen : — The undersigned ,
representing the Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade of the City of New
York, which is made up of dealers
in, and growers of, domestic, and
importers of foreign leaf tobacco,
beg respectfully to give reasons and
facts for opposing the proposed
changes in the existing tariff rates
on tobacco and cigars from Cuba
These facts are presented with the ,
object of avoiding the passage of a
law that would cause untold loss to
a large mass of citizens employed
in the various branches of our in-
dustry.
I. Because it would disorganize
and do great injury to our business,
and result very harmfully to the
growers of domestic cigar leaf to-
bacco.
In support of this objection we
wish to state, that the value of our
domestic tobaccos are to a great ex
tent based on our protective tariff,
and the proposed changes would
certainly affect the value of the to
baccos grown in Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, Wisconsin, Connecticut,
Massachusetts. New York State
Florida and Georgia, where large
communities of citizens are engaged
in raising tobacco for cigar pur
poses, and where generally the only
crop recognized as a money pro
ducer is tobacco These ^rower^
will undoubtedly present their ob
jections before your Honorable Com
niittee In these States tobacco
crops are the most profitable pro-
ducts.
In the printed pamphlet issued
by H S Frye, President of the
New England Tobacco Growers'
Association, the following statement
appears on page No 3r, 24th line:
i "If I were a tobacco farmer in
lany other section of the United
States, notably the binder and filler
sections, I would look at the pros
pects of annexation and consequent
free leaf Irom Cuba with all the feel
ing of consternation and dismay
that I would be of financial ruin "
That this view and fear are also,
shared by the New England To-
bacco Growers' Association is shown
by the fact that at their annual
meeting recently held they unani
mously opposed any concession to
Cuban tobacco.
2. Because it would disorganize
and prove very injurious to the
cigar manufacturers on whom we
are dependent for the sale of our
tobaccos and whose business is so
arranged as to conform with the
existing tariff.
In support of our second objec
tion, we would say that our domes-
tic cigar manufacturers have shown
a steady and healthy increase in the
manufacture of higher grades of
cigars, in which our domestic to-
bacco is used to quite an extent.
Under the proposed change in duty
on cigars, the business in this branch
would decrease rapidly and its ulti
mate effect would be that the higher

4. Because the passage of the
proposed change in the tariff rates
on tobacco and cigars would aot
inure to the benefit of those for
whom it is intended.
In support of our fourth objec-
tion, the proposed reduction in duty
on tobacco and cigars is supposed
to have the object of ameliorating
the condition of the people engaged
in that industry in Cuba.
We claim that neither the Cuban
farmer nor the Cuban manufacturer
generally will derive any benefit by 1
reason of the reduction. As to the
Cuban tobacco farmer, it is a fact
that he has received at least as
much for his product since the in
fiurrection as he did under Spanish '
rule. We question if, under a re-
duced tariff rate, high prices could
be obtained. Higher prices, if any,
would result in ovtr- production (as
the territory suitable for the raising I
of tobacco is practically unlimited)
and prices would soon therefore
reach their present level, or proba-
bly lower. And who would benefit?
The cigar manufacturing industry
of Havana is now practically in 1
the hands of two powerful corpora- i
tions, who own and control a large
portion of the best tobacco lands ,
in Cuba. The larger is a British ,
Company which shipped to the
United States about 60 per cent, of
the entire quantity of cigars im
ported last year, and the other a
United States Corporation which
shipped about 30 per cent. In other
words, these two corporations
shipped 90 per cent, of the entire
importation of cigars to this country
last year. These two combinations
are all powerful in Cuba and the
proposed reduction on Cuban cigars
would only tighten their grasp and
inure to their benefit. The result
is obvious: an increase of their
importations to our shores and the
curtailing of our own manufactur-
ing.
The argument submitted on be-
half of Cuba by the Chamber of
Commerce of the island, contains
numerous misstatements of fact,
to which attention is biiefly called.
On page 8 of said argument, the
following statement appears:
"Congress need not listen to the
pleas of Cubans who have personal
interests to promote."
The argument submitted by Gus-
tave Bock, head of the British cor-
poration, is wholly in support of
his private interest, for the effect of
the proposed reduction on cigars
would be of great benefit to his cor-
poration, and to the detriment of
the cigar manufacturing industry of
higher grade cigars in the United
States.
On page 9 of said argument f the
following statement appears:
"Under existing conditions, or
any conditions which are to' be
anticipated, she can find such a
market for her sugar, and to a great
degree for her tobacco, only in the
United States."
This is not a fact so far as tobacco
is concerned. The United States
never took over about 30 per cent
in average of the quantity of Cuban
tobacco raised, and Cuba still has
her same customers in the markets
of the world that she had before the
war.
On page 17 of said argument the
following statement appears:
"If it can be shown that this plan
will result in great benefit to Ameri-
can business in general without

serious injury to any existing in-
dustry, it ought to be supported."
This cannot be shown. The fact
is that incalculable injury would
result to our tobacco growing and
cigar manufacturing industries as
well as to the numerous other in-
dustries incidental thereto; naturally
our laboring classes would suffer
thereby.
On page 18 of the argument the
following statement appears:
"There is no longer much pre-
tense that the free introduction of
Cuban tobacco will injure the
American industry. ' '
This is answered by the contents
hereof: by the quotation from the
pamphlet of H. S. Frye, on page
31, hereinbefore quoted; by the
protests of the cigar manufacturers
as well as by the growers of cigar
leaf tobacco.
On page 18 and 19 of the argu-
ment the following statements ap-
pear:
"The annual production of Cuban
tobacco * * * cannot be largely
increased."
"The maximum in quality was
reached long ago."
This is not a fact. It rt fers only
to the antiquated methods hereto
fore employed. Under modern
method! of agriculture now being
adopted, there would hardly beany
limit to the amount of tobacco that
could be raised in Cuba Nor has
the limit of quality been reached
by far.
On page 19 of the argument the
following statement appears:
"They (the American tobacco
growers) no longer seriously oppose
it."
The growers in Pennsylvania,
New York, Ohio, Wisconsin.
Florida, Georgia and the New
England States strongly oppose it
What the trade desires above all
things, is to be left alone if possi
ble, and to be permitted to pursue
its occupation without having these
everlasting changes to contend with.

Rebate Claims.
A dealer who reported that he
proposed to assign his claim for re-
bate of taxes on tobacco under the
act of March 2, 1901, was advised
that all transfers and assignments
made of any claim against the United
States, or any part or share thereof,
whether absolute ©r conditional,
and whatever may be the considera-
tion therefor, would be absolutely
null and void, under section 3377,
R. S., and that no assignment of
any claim is recognized until after
the allowance of such claim and the
ascertainment of the amount due,
and the issuing of a warrant in pay-
ment thereof to the original party
in interest.

The Commissioner has authorized
the use of a subdivision package for
ten cigars, provided said subdivis-
ions are packed in a larger box
containing the statutory number of
cigars properly labeled, printed and
stamped. Theapplicant is cautioned,
however, that the small packages
intended to be used as subdivisions
must not have the flap or extended
sides placed over the exposed ends
of the cigars before they are removed
from the factory, it being understood
that this flap is to be used as a pro-
tection to the exposed ends of the
cigars after the goods are sold and
removed from th« stamped package
Sale of Cigar Cuttings.
The Commissioner has ruled that
a cigar manufacturer who removes
cuttings, scraps, clippings or other
bi- products of his factory and de
livers the same to a dealer in leaf
tobacco, or to any other person who
is not authorized to handle such
materials unstamped, will incur
liability to tax on all such bi pro-
ducts removed from his factory
without authority and in violation
of sections 3362 and 3363, Revised
Statutes, and should be reported for
assessment of such tax, and if there-
after a deficiency is found in the
manufacturer's account as a cigar
manufacturer he will be liable to an
assessment of tax for such deficiency ,
as no credit could be allowed in his
account for the tobacco or material
removed from the factory without
authority of law or regulations.
Commercial Labels.
In passing upon an inquiry
whether a manufacturer may label
his packages so as to advertise two
or more of his own brands, the
Commissioner has ruled that a man-
ufacturer may, in addition to the
required caution notice label, afiix
to his statutory packages of tobacco
a commercial label indicating the
character of the contents of the
packages, the trade mark name, his
registered factory number, and the
district and State in which the fac
tory is located, and that such com-
mercial label may also advertise
other special brands of tobacco made
by himself, provided that such label
does not coutain any promise, or
offer of, or any order or certificate
for any gift, prize, premium, pay-
ment or reward in violation of the
provisions of section 10, act of July
24, 1897, and the Regulations, No.
8, Supplement No. i; but that a
manufacturer is not privileged to
aflBx on his packages of tobacco a
label which will advertise any other
business, and therefore the label
should not be used as a means for
advertising cigars, cigarettes, liquors
or other merchandise.

Manufacture of Tobacco and Cigars by
Growers.
The Commissioner has lately
ruled that his office has not con-
strued the statutes as prohibiting
the farmer or grower from twisting
or otherwise manipulating his leaf
tobacco for his own personal use,
nor does it hold that the farmer
could not manufacture cigars for
his own personal use from the to-
bacco which he raises; but twist to-
bacco or cigars manufactured by
him for the us« of other persons
would be subject to tax, and if he
carried on that business he woisld
be regarded as a manufacturer of
tobacco or of cigars and be required
to make return, pay special tax and
qualify as a manufacturer of to-
bacco, and to properly pack and
stamp all tobacco or cigars manu
factured by him.
Snuff and Chewing Cum.
An individual who proposed to
manufacture a substance composed
of 50 per cent, of snuff, combined
with chickle, parafine or other gum
substances, for sale and consump-
tion, was advised that he would be
required to qualify as a manufac-
turer of tobacco and properly pack,
label and stamp his product, before
the same is removed from the place
of manufacture; that a manufac-
turer is not privileged to purchase
tax-paid snuff as an ingredient and
produce another tobacco product
from a combination without the
payment of the tax on such tobacco
product; that this combination
article of snuff and gum must be
packed in the statutory packages
provided for packages of tobacco
and snuff, that is, from one- half to
sixteen ounces, and with the privi-
lege of placing the same in larger
packages not exceeding twenty
pounds in weight, as provided for
in the law and regulations.
Retailing Leaf Tobacco.
In answer to a number of in-
quiries as to why the agents of to-
bacco growers may not sell leaf to
bacco in small quantities to con
sumers, or why licenses to sell leaf
tobacco at retail may not be taken
out as formerly, the Commissioner
has ruled that no person is now
recognized as a retail dealer in leaf
tobacco. All persons who desire to
buy and sell leaf tobacco as a busi
ness must make return on Form 1 1
and pay special tax to the collector
for their district, and thereafter they
must keep Book 59 and confine
their sales to other qualified dealers]
in leaf tobacco, to manufacturers of [
tobacco and cigars, and to persons !
who buy leaf tobacco in packages
for export. Attention is called to
the Regulations, No 8. pages 5, 6
and 7, relating to the packing,
labeling and stamping of leaf to
bacco for consumption, without
actually manufacturing the tobacco
into smoking or chewing tobacco,
but selling the same in its natural
state.
Stemming Tobacco.
The Commissioner has ruled that
a cigar manufacturer can not. under
the regulations, remove his leaf to-
bacco from his bonded premises for
the purpose of having the same
stemmed and returned to his factory ;
that all business incident to the
manufacture of cigars must be con
ducted on the premises described in
the bond and statement , Form 36^^ ,
but that the office in some cases has
advised that where a manufacturer
did not have sufficient room on his
premises to strip his tobacco, he
could qualify as a dealer in leaf to-
bacco and receive the same at some
other place, and stem the tobacco
before the same is received at his
factory, accounting on his Book 73
and monthly return for all stemmed
tobacco so received at the factory
In that case a manufacturer qualify-
ing as a leaf dealer must pay a
special tax of $6 and keep Book 59,
the same as required from other leaf
dealers. The two accounts, one as
a manufacturer and the other as a
leaf dealer, must not be confused in
any manner; and each business
must be carried on separately and at
different places, the same as though
two persons were actually engaged
in separate businesses. Attention
was called to the second paragraph
of Regulations, No. 8, page 18, and
the fourth paragraph, page 24, re-
lating to leaf dealers stripping or
stemming their unstemmed leaf to-
bacco.

In the Huron village up in Can '
ada which did so much business in
tobacco with the French settlers at
Quebec an air of busy and cheerful
expectancy animated every soul
from the big chief down to the pa-
poose just learning to toddle, for
this was the harvest season for the
Hurons, when their traders ex-
changed goods with the white man .
On a hillock overlooking the
southern approach to the village the
sentinel posted there suddenly blew
a blast which announced the ap-
proach of a delegation from a dif
ferent race of red men, the great
Tobacco Nation, come as usual to
trade with the Hurons and to pass
thence on a similar mission to
Quebec. Presently Tuinontatek,
the chief of the Tobacco Nation,
or Khionontaterrhonons, as they
called themselves, was making his
stately entry into the Huron village
followed by his train of squaws each
with a bale of tobacco upon her
back. It's a pity, I think, that
none of this tobacco, so greatly
prized not only by the Indians but
by contemporary white men, has
been preserved to us, because in
that case we might compare it with
the tobacco of our own times, but,
alas, it has disappeared along with
the long winded name of those who
were wont to raise it in those woody
valleys of the Blue Mountains,
south of the Nottowassaga Bay of
Lake Huron where the Khiono
taterrhonons once had what Park-
man calls their "original seats."
Old Tuinontatek was the great to
baccoking of his day. His people
the year was to di'^pose of it. He
spent the rest of his time in blessed
idleness, but every fall he roused
himself and was all impatience to
be off for the regions to the north
where the Hurons and the French
awaited his coming with the fam
ished longing of men whose stock
of tobacco was running short
For three years Tuinontatek had
been suffered to pass on his way to

merchandise and now the other
\ half was to be taken from him and
I he was to get less for it from Cloud
' Wings than the French would have
given him. But Tuinontatek kept
a civil tongue in his head for all his
boiling anger.
"My brother, "he said, "is always
wise and always kind. That the
road through the forests to the
settlements of the pale faces is beset
with danger this year is strange,
though it must be true, since my
brother says so. If the pale faces
are in distress it is doubtless be-
cause no shiploads of food and other
merchandise have reached them
from their brothers across the deep
waters and since that is true mine
would be a fruitless journey even if
I were to undertake it, for they can
have nothing which I would accept
in exchange for tobacco."
This was a rather neat counter to
Cloud Wings, and the Huron chief-
tain was nonplussed by it for a mo-
ment. But only for a moment.
When he spoke he dismissed the
trader in his makeup and displayed
the bulldozing man of blood.

A cigar manufacturing firm of
Jackson & Leber, proprietors of the
A La Mode Cigar Factory, at Del

for some few years, first by W. C.
Jackson, and subsequently by Jack
son & Leber, after the admission
of C. E. Leber to an interest in the
business, was dissolved by mutual
consent on February first, W C
Jackson retiring from the firm and
the business being continued by C

During the past six months a

them, and considerable success was

Segar Store Suggestions
A Special Window.
February is a month of special
days, and sometimes a dealer will
be puzzled to know which to select
for a basis for special decorative
purposes. February 12 is Lincoln's
birthday, which is a holiday in six
states, St Valentine's Day is Febru
ary 14, which is understood by
every person, and February 22. is
Washinj>ton's birthday, which is a
holiday in forty-two states and one
territory. There are numerous at
tractive features to be brought
•ut in tiims applicable to all of
the-u Much depends upon local
surroundings as to which day shall

matra wrappers, and designed to
sell to the dealer at from $28 to
$30 per thousand, according to size
Since the brand was first launched
some six months ago, as has been
said, they have sold well in several
sections where they were first in
troduced, namely east, and extreme
west, that is, the Pacific Coast, and
we are informed that in San Fran-
cisco alone quite an extensive trade
has been already established on
them. No particular change will
be made in the management since
Mr Leber has become the sole pro
prietor, but business is to be pushed
with as much vigor as had been the
policy of the firm heretofore.
judgment upon this point than a
stranger.
A suggestion will not be out of
place, however, and this would be
to select either Valentine's Day or
Washington's Birth day in most
localities. Possibly there are places
where Lincoln is nearer and dearer
to the people for some special reason,
but speaking in general the other
two will probably prove most profit-
able. But in cases where it can be
done a Valentine window might be
put in several days before February
14 and kept in a week, say, to be
followed by a Washington window,
to be left in a short time after the
2 2d. Local conditions should be
the determining influences, but these
suggestions will be found profitable
to work upon.

Minister Powell, of Port au
Prince, Haiti, reports on the pro
gress of tobacco culture and the
manufacture of cigars in that island
as follows: "Haiti, situated in
nearly the same latitude as Cuba,
will soon rival it in its production
of fine grades of tobacco. It has a
more equable climate free from
cyclones and hurricanes, and a far
more fertile soil, which has not
been weakened by long continued
cultivation; all that is needed is
skilled cultivation and proper cur-
ing It may be said that tobacco
culture has now passed the ex peri
mental stage and will within a few
years become an important source
of revenue to this republic A new
^•pecies has been produced by cross
fertilization, called the 'Diqueney"

— said to surpass in many respects
the best Cuban grades This species

LOUISIANA.
Louisiana is noteworthy for two
reasons. The first of these is that
cigars were manufactured on a large
scale in New Orleans contempor-
aneously with the establishment of
large factories in New York, and
the name of Hernsheim will be for
ever associated with the history of
the cigar. The second reason is
that Louisiana is at this time a
great market for the cheaper grades
of Pennsylvania cigars the con

most as long as New Orleans has
had them. If it hadn't been for the
war it is quite possible that the
book publishing business of Mobile,
which was in a flourishing condition
in 18&0, would have been a very
large one by this time, because the
publishers of Mobile of that epoch
were men of excellent taste and
Mobile, Montgomery and Birm-
ingham are good cigar centres, but
Birmingham is the best of the three
for obvious reasons. The cigar job-
bers and retailers of Birmingham
are in every way progressive and
prosperous and their patronage is
competed for by the largest and the
best of Eastern manufacturers.

of the Bureau of Soils in the De
partment of Agriculture needs a
' calling down" for needless waste
of Government funds. On January
30 he submitted samples of tobacco
grown under tents at Tariffville,
Conn , last year to the committee of
leaf brokers whom he selected last
fall to supervi.se the sale of this leal
on the New York market. Instead
of coming down to Water street
where the samples might have been
examined under proper conditions
of light in some well appointed
sample room, and without a cent of
cost to the Government, Professor
Whitney hired for the day one of
the most expensive rooms in New
York, namely the famous Gold
Room of the Holland House on
Fifth avenue, at which he was stop
ping. The Gold Room of the Hoi
land House is one of those over
gorgeous apartments which multi
millionaires hire for special occa-
sions. For instance, when Howard
Gould married Katherine demons
the ceremony was performed in this
same Gold Room.
Professor Whitney's leaf experts
assembled in the Gold Room at his
invitation at 1 1 o'clock in the morn
ing and he kept them busy until
2.30 o'clock in the afternoon. A
box of imported Carolinas was the
only hospitality he extended.
Thetobaccoinspected was brought
into the Gold Room in an ordinary
line lined pine tobacco case and its
very homeliness was in strange con-
trast with thesplendors of decoration
all about it.
Congressman E. Stevens Henry,
of Connecticut is the chairman of
the commission. The other mem-
bers are brokers M. E. Flaherty,
Stephen G. Ruth, S. M. Seymour,
James Ertheiler and Darius Ferry,
all of New York, and Herman
Vetterlein, of Philadelphia. The
only absentee was M. E Flaherty,
who was in Havana.
The commission concluded that it
was still too early to form suffici-
ently a good idea of the value of the
crop to justify fixing a time for its
public sale. The tobacco is still
green, and this is not the weather
for it to soften in the bale and fer-
ment. The Commission concluded
that it would probably be ready for
final judgment and sale about the
ist of May, and that this question
would be determined at another
meeting to be held at the call of the
chair. The Commission also de
cided that the sale should be at open
auction in this city. The growers
have agreed to have the sale of the
entire crop take place under the
culture, as the Government is de-
sirous of having a standard or mar-
ket price established in order to
-.how just what has been accom-
plished by the Departmental ex-
penditures, which, it is believed,
will mean in the result of the ex-
periments hundreds of thousands of
dollars to this country in the way
of expanded industry The amount
of tobacco to be disposed of is about
40,000 pounds.
The expense of one day's rent of
the Gold Room was only one item
of the total bill of useless cost to
which the Government has been
subjected by Professor Whitney in
this matter of tobacco grown at
Tariffville from Sumatra peed under
his auspices, for in addition he has
supplied to each of the seven gentle-
men named above a very handsome
diploma engraved on sheepskin and
these seven sheepskins, the purpose
of which, save as wall ornaments, is
hard to guess, must have cost Uncle
Sam at least $50 apiece. Each
document reads as follows:
The United States of America

To all who shall see these presents
greeting:
Be it known that Honorable E.
Stevens Henry, M. C , of Connecti-
cut, Messrs. M. E Flaherty, Stephen
G. Ruth, S M. Seymour, Darius
Ferry and James Ertheiler. of New
York,N Y..ani Herman G Vetter-
lein, of Philadelphia, Pa., are here-
by recognized and accredited as a
Committee, representing and serv-
ing the Connecticut Tobacco Grow-
ers, to act in conjunction with Pro-
fessor Milton Whitney, Chief of the
Bureau of Soils in the Department
of Agriculture, to advise, supervise
and report upon the sale of the
Sumatra grown in Connecticut dur-
ing the J ear 1901, under the direc-
tion ot the Department of Agricul-
ture. The said sale to be held at
such terms and place, and according
to such times, as may hereafter be
determined upon.
In witness whereof, I have here-
unto subscribed my name and caused
the seal of the Department of Agri-
culture to be affixed. Done at the
City of Washington, District of
Columbia, this 21st day of January,

graving of Maud Muller coming
home from the harvest field with a

Whether or not it was the fault
of the weather the fact to be re-
corded is that business was dull in
the New York leaf market last week.
Just plain dull.
The use of the imported cigar
label is constantly dwindling and
on January 31 a considerable wager

this bet is confident of winning it

not now quite as well understood in
the United States as it is in Ger-
many, from which country most of
the foreign labels come.

In the Tobacco Capital of
Pen n syl vania •
Lancaster. Pa., Feb. 4, 1902
It was a comparatively dull week ,
so far as sales of old tobaccos were
concerned, business being confined
to smaller transactions. Packers'
attention is becoming more and
more diverted to the buying of the
new crop, and the tobacco receipts
at the various warehouses this week
were the largest of this year.
There is apparently an evolution
in the packing this year, and a large
proportion will be put through the
bulk sweating process, which it
was shown last year was a more
generally satisfactory method.
From 7>^ to 8>4 and 2 cents is
about the rate on purchases made
of seed leaf, while 12 and 4 cents
was the highest paid for Havana
that has come to notice.
One of the specially active buyers
has been Mr. Engler, for Sutter
Bros. Several crops have been also
bought by John McLaughlin, for
L. Bamberger & Co.
Luther M. Case, of West Winsted,
Conn., spent a week in this vicinity,
after visiting Washington, where
he was a delegate from Connecticut.
C. R Martin, who recently
opened a new cigar factory at
Reidenbach's Store, this county
last week returned from a business

The cigar store at 208 Arch
street, recently purchased by H. G.
I Cutler, has undergone much im-
provement since his incumbency.
His stock is now replete with a
large line of the most popular brands
of goods, and a steady increasing
trade has been noticed. In the
stock Philadelphia made goods are
well represented, and they include
the "Joe Wright" loc cigars made
by Allen & Marshall Co.; Eisen-
lohr's "Cinco," Oblinger Bros. &
Co's "Vesper," Allen & Marshall
Co.'s "Ursa," Vetterlein Bros'.
"Sabarosa" and "Fedora," and
Roig, Langsdorf & Co's celebrated
"Roig" cigars. A line of the
"General Arthur" loc goods has
also been placed in stock, while the
most recent acquisition in the nickel
variety is the popular ' ' Pete Dailey ' '
of T. J. Dunn & Co.
An ambitious display of "Deer-
skin" tobacco is that made in
bulk window of Gustav Hoch &
Sons' Eighth street store. The
window contains about 1,000
pounds of tobacco, with numerous
signs and placards. In a small
show case
also displayed about 3 400 "Match
It" cheroots. This eflfort is said to
have been a success, as over 200
plugs of the tobacco were sold in
less than three hours on one certain
day and about 800 "Match- Its" in
the same time.
A very satisfactory increase in
retail trade is recorded by E. G.
Steane & Co. since their removal to
the N. W. corner of Chestnut and
loth streets. Their jobbing trade
is also in a fair condition, as some
good -sized orders are coming in
from Ed. Miles, who is now on a
trip through the middle west. W.
S. Cliver leaves to-day on a two
months trip through Pennsylvania
and the west.
Referee in Bankruptcy Alfred
Driver on Monday last confirmed
the sale of the real estate, fixtures
and stock of the La Pila Havana
Cigar Company, at $2,850 for the
real estate and fixtures, and $502.50
for the stock of tobaccos. The sale
had been conducted under the per-
sonal supervision of Trustee Ed-
mund R. Watson.
The cigar store and manufactur-
ing establishment of M. Kleinberg,
at 219 N. Second street, was com-
pletely gutted by fire last week, en-
tailing a heavy loss, as the place
was well stocked with goods and
cigars on hand. Insurance to the
amount of $3,200 was carried on it.
Liberstein Bros., proprietors of
the La Volga Cigar Factory, at 103
N. Second street, have made it a
strictly union factory, and adopted
the blue label.
Considerable warfare is now go-
ing on in the sales of the products
of the American and Universal To-
bacco Companies. A small job-
bing house has issued a price list
quoting "Deerskin" tobacco at a
cut price, and it is stated that the
jobbers have about determined to
uphold no special scale of prices
on these goods. By some the ad-
visability of such a course is ques-
tioned, for they believe that it

plishment of the desired purpose.

ager of the Lovell & Buffington To-

while at the factory. He seems to
I be more enthusiastic than ever in

; Charles E. Brown, District man-
ager of the American Tobacco Co.,
1 has opened an office at 127 South

will make his permanent head-
quarters.
Gains are made daily on local
sales of the "Pete Dailey" cigar of
T. J. Dunn & Co., a line of which
has j ust been added to the stock of
H. G. Cutler, 208 Arch street, an
enterprising dealer who is making
many friends with it for his estab-
lishment. In fact, it is reported on
good authority that Mr. Cutler now
contemplates adding a full line of

early date.

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
There is now a tone of improve-
ment in the leaf market. Invita-
tions to manufacturers to look at
goods are being more freely accept-
ed and frequent sales result from
these inspections. The demand for
Pennsylvania Broad leaf has been
good, as also for Connecticut. Al-
though goods of the 1899 crop of
Pennsylvania were preferred , owing
to a growing scarcity of these the
1900 goods are being taken. Sev-
eral I GO- box sales are in prospect at
this writing. Holders of leaf suit
able for wrapper purposes are hav-
ing no diflSculty in finding ready
buyers for good serviceable stock.
Several very fair sales of Connecti-
cut Broad leaf were also reported.
Zimmer Spanish is commanding a
good price, particularly the '99 leaf
Havana is gaining activity; in fact
the market is now getting stronger
steadily. Our importers seem to
I have realized this situation, and
j some more or less extensive pur-
chases have been lately made, some
of which have already arrived here.
The Sumatra market is only fair;
that is to say, a sort of waiting
game seems to be played just now,
judging from the number of small
sales made. The oncoming inscrip-
j tions have no doubt something to
do with this.

Collector of Internal Revenue it
will be shown that Chas. Soby is
the largest manufacturer of cigars
in the district, which included Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, his out-
put in 1901 having been 4,590,000.
It also estimates that 45,000,000 ci-
gars were made in that district dur-
ing last year.

The subject of tobacco culture is
a question that is being considered
by many of the farmers of Sanel
velley, says the Cloverdale, Cal.,
ReveilU. The question is not
problematic, as several tests have
been made and with good success.
Ahrens & Hartman, of San Fran-
cisco, tobacconists, are back of the
proposition, and they want to securt
150 acres to set out tobacco. It is
also learned that several parties up
Dry Creek way have leased land
suitable for growing tobacco at the
rate of $20 per acre. Samples of
cigars and also samples of tobacco
made from the plant grown at Hop-
land are shown.

ORDERS FROM THE JOBBING TRADE SOLICITED.
be, and when it became known that
Mr. John N. Kolb, of the Theobald
& Oppenheimer Co. was also pres-
ent, and that they were acting for
the last-named, the news spread
rapidly, although it was not openly
announced by the company until
Monday last, at which time the sale
was duly confirmed by the referee.
It will be observed that the new
year is opening most auspiciously
for the Theobald & Oppenheimer
Co., and in proof of the high es-
teem in which the company's pres-
ent products are held by the largest
dealers throughout the country,
many complimentary orders were
sent them for a case or so of their
new clear Havanas, although no
samples even have been submitted.
A higher testimonial could not eas-
ily be bestowed. We venture the
opinion that the various sizes of the
new clear Havana goods will soon
be as thoroughly intrenched in favor
in all sections where their introduc
tion may be undertaken as is their
present line of seed and Havana
goods. That a goodly share of
business will be secured can be ex
pected with the utmost confidence.
In fact, there is already a popular
demand for a line of their new
goods, and President Spotz of this
company has been urged by their
jobbers to have shipments made
with all possible speed. He has,
consequently, left for Tampa to day,
and as soon as the factory can be
put in thorough working order, he
will proceed to Chicago and other
western points.
News from Trade Centers
BADGER STATE NOTES.
Business among leaf dealers in
Wisconsin has been rather quiet,
although now nearly all salesmen
are on the road, and some orders
are naturally expected. Collections
are reported slow.
The stock of the Davis Cigar Co.,
of Milwaukee, bankrupts, has been
sold by the receiver for $1,075,
which is about 85 per cent, of its
appraised valuation.
CHICAGO.
H. Duys, Jr., the Sumatra im
porter, has been in Chicago for some
days, in company with Howard
Kinney, their Western representa
tive, and reports a very satisfactory
buhiaess.
8utter Bros, have completed new
sample rooms which they claim are
the finest in the country. Specially
designed apparatus has been put in
to keep the tobacco constantly
moist, and a pipe will convey cool-
ing breezes into the rooms in the
summer time.
While there has been no general
complaint here, the leaf dealers
have experienced a very quiet spell .
A large line of cigars made by
Celestino Costello & Co., of York,
Pa., is now being carried by Philip
Jaeger & Co., including "Ye Olde
Fashion," "Barrister" and "LittU
Barrister."
The Best & Russel Cigar Co. has
leased the store and basement in
the Handel Hall Building, 40 Ran-
dolph Street, for five years, begin-
ning May I, at a rental of $24,500
for the term.
CINCINNATI.
The strike at the Lovell & Buf-
fington Tobacco Co's. works in
Covington, which has been in pro-
gress since June last, has been
ended, and by this time most of the
strikers have no doubt returned to
work. The trouble came about by
the company's refusal to discharge
a foreman for alleged abuse of on*
of the hands, but it was not until
a few weeks ago that he finally
severed his relations. The com-
pany, it is said, will again adopt
the use of the union label.
H. Tietig & Bro. estimate the
loss on their Miamisburg warehouse,
which was distroyed by fire last
week, at about $30,000.
Jake Labe, of B. Labe & Sons,
Philadelphia, was among oar recent
visitors in the leaf trade.
CLEVELAND.
The Standard Tobacco and Ci-
gar Company, which made an as-
signment recently, and which is
one of the oldest industries in Cleve-
land, owes its present trouble, ac-
cording to men at the head of it,
to the impossibility of any small
firm successfully competing with
the big corporations in output and
price.
B P. Watterson, the assignee,
who for many years was Secretary
of the company, said:
"The present condition of the
tobacco trade is fatal to small con-
cerns, and the Standard is bat one

of many companies that have been
driven to the wall by merciless
competition.
"For example, the Continental
Tobacco Company, with its enorm-
ous output, is content with a cent
a pound profit. The market is
flooded with the brands which that
company manufacture. They are
seen on the shelves, in every little
grocery store and bake shop. The
Continental oflfers prizes for tags
and labels. It gives tobacco away
if necessary. It can always under-
bid the small fry. The American
Tobacco Company and the Ameri-
can Cigar Company, too, are power-
ful corporations. All three have
practically the same big stock-
holders. Though under diflferent
heads, their interests are the same.
These three never interfere with
one another, but industriously cut
the throats of the small firms by
every trick possible in competition.
The American Cigar Company took
our trade away by cutttng prices.
I don't blame it any. It got the
upper hand and held it. We would
have done the same if we had been
able. We simply saw we could
not make money, so we quit."
The Standard Tobacco and Cigar
Co. gives its liabilities at $45,000,
and assets at $40,000.
Morris Glucksman, formerly trad-
ing as the Century Cigar Co., has
become financially embarrassed. A
petition in involuntary bankruptcy
was filed last week by Weber &
Texler, cigar box manufacturers,
Thomas H. Boesger & Bros, job-
bers, both of Cleveland, and John
Leopold & Son, leaf dealers, of
New York.
Some time ago Mr. Glucksman
turned over his business to M.
Treuhaft, for settlement, and took
a position with the American Cigar
Co. at Cincinnati. Liabilities are
reported to be about $6, 700. Assets
possibly $6,100. Creditors appear
to be more numerous than the
amounts are voluminous. They
include:

THE TRADE IN READING.
Reading, Pa., Feb. 3, 190.
The month of January has seen
a great improvement in the local
cigar industry and in the factories
about this city, Womelsdorf and
Boyertown are now in full opera-
tion. All in the district had a
prosperous year. The opening of
the trade in 1902 was not as bright
as it might have been, but there
has been a steady improvement.
Daniel Fleck, of the Fleck Cigar
Co., is on an extended western trip,
and is meeting with great success.
He is constantly sending in large
orders and the factory is kept busy.
The firm's new brand, the "City
Elk," is now ready for distribution
and the prospects are that it will
meet with much success.
W. Storm Miller, local tobacco
nist, received a large consignment
of Porto Rico cigars which he is
introducing to the trade, in this
city. He states that they seem to
be well liked by the smokers and
patrons of his place.
Reading's cigir manufacturers
are greatly interested in the con
sideration of the reduction of the
Cuban duties by the present Con
gress, believing that they may seri
ously aflFect the prosperity of the
cigar industry in this district.
A. S Hartman, of the firm of
Hartman, & Riegel spent several
days last week looking up the
firms's interests in Philadelphia,
Chester and Trenton. He received
a number of flattering orders.
William W. Prutzman, manu-
facturer of the "Greater Reading,"
is on an extended visit to Porto
Rico. It is said that if conditions
suit him, he may locate there per
manently.
John G. McGraw, "Southern repre-
sentative of Yocuni Bros., this city,
is spending a few days in Reading.
He makes his headquariers at Balti-
more, and looks after the firm's
trade in the South. He reports
business exceedingly brisk. He
says that Reading cigars sells better
than ever, and that his sales for
1 90 1 were considerably ahead of
any former year.
Charles O. Klotz, the new Penn-
sylvania representative of Schroeder
& Arguimbau, New York, was in
this city last week, and made many
acquaintances in the trade here, with
all of whom his house has been long
and favorably known. His activity
and courteous manner is much com-
mended.
J. Pierce Flowers, representing
the Lovell & Buffington Tobacco
Co., Covington, Ky., and a repre
sentative of Charles Gross & Co.,
Philadelphia, were also here-

A Chicago Broker's Views on the
Credit Question.
Chicago, Feb. i, 1902.
Having noticed in your corres-
pondence from York, Pa , the re-
mark of a cigar manufacturer who
is a creditor of the Columbia Dome
Cigar Co., that he would rely more
upon his salesman by selecting an
A I to represent him, I have been in
the brokerage business for fifteen
years, and can say that every man
ufacturer can be his own judge of
credits if he pursues the policy of
cash only; that any house purchas-
ing his goods on time is not an ac-
count worth having. There are two
classes of brokers: ( i) a broker who
cares only for his commission and J
little about credits, and lets the
houses whom he sells for take the
chances, and (2) the broker who
sells for cash or to A i houses only.
The failures in Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis, St. Louis and Milwau-
kee, where at least $250,000 has
been lost by the manufacturers of
the Ninth District, Penna., in the
last two years, should be a lesson to
the different manufacturers. Then,
looking at the broker's side of the
question: Were the manufacturers
all honest, report all duplicate or-
ders, and even, when the trade is
worked up, try and dump a broker,
or defraud him of his commission?
By practicing honest and fair treat-
ment, all around, would be the
gainers. Adeva.

THE TOBACCO' WORLD
W H Y I T
^ 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 manutac-
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 limes,
at wlutever cost, having
the niDSt modern and
cllective mac- inery.
Now it is just the
same in the cigar making
business as it is with
any other. You caii't
hope to compete with
your rivals, you 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
DuBrnl Dieless Suction Table.
You could afford to do this if it cost three
or lour 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 uianner.
Such being the case how
can you afford to put off
installing this t:ble ?
It will prove a'l that
we claim lor 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 to 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 m:ike
our Die Tables, admitted the best. Both kinds
on exhibition at our oflkes.

The cigar factory recently opened
by Edward Kesting, on West Jack-
son street, was found to be on fire
on Saturday afternoon last. It was
extinguished in a short time by the
fire department. The loss was
slight, being confined chiefly to
damage by water.
J. H. Stiles, leaf dealer, claims
to have had a very satisfactory
month during January, and, in Joe's
own language, "It was one of the
best months I ever had.
Frank R. Krout, of Jacobus, Pa.,

with an increased force of hands.
W. C. Smith, of Windsor, finds
trade "first rate," having numerous
orders and making large shipments
dally. He has recently removed to
new quarters, now having an ofl&ce
1?ell becoming his increasing busi-
ness.
It is generally conceded to be a
good indication of prosperity when
business men decide to enlarge or
build. Such is the case with Bear
Bros., located at Zions View. They
will in the near future erect an ad-
dition to their factory, in order to
employ more help to meet the
present demand for goods. This
firm is composed of young men,
who have in a quiet and unassum-
ing way built up a trade which
gives employment to a goodly num-
ber of hands. It is an open secret
that good goods sell anywhere.
Prior to moving into his new
factory at Nashville, Henry F.
Kohler entertained his employes in I

county, and is a model for neatness
and convenience.

New York State and Oliio for the
past two weeks.
An aged man in the tobacco busi
ness is Isaac Stirk, of Lancaster,
who visited the city during the
week on business.
Samuel C. Kocher, of Wrights
ville, called on the trade in the
interest of his business on Saturday
last.
Mr. Newman, of Young & New
man, Philadelphia leaf dealers, was
in town this week calling on the
trade, in company with their sales
man, H. E. Miller, and, if looks do
not deceive, business was good.
"Bobby" Uhler was with us this
week, hustling for his house, Sutter
Bros. , and reports business very fair.
Anthony Munchel, a popular ci
gar manufacturer here, reports busi
ness very fair. His trade on the
"Nitauncs" 5 cent cigar is on the
increase, as well as the sale of "Lone
Chief" 10 cent goods. He has been
compelled to increase his factory
force. Mr. Munchel, has discovered
some one using his "Lone Chief"
label, and promises trouble to them,
and, from papers shown us, he is
in position to make it warm for
some one.
The American Cigar Co's. repre
sentatives are here, championed by
their Mr. Williams, and are again
working the trade. They have
done quite a lot of bill posting, sign
painting and tacking here, but th
goods are selling slowly.
J. Oliver, the popular "Polar
Bear" man, has been in town for
some little time, working the trade
on "Polar Bear," and acquainting
the consumers with their premium
schemes on the goods.
The decision of the court here,
compelling the retail cigar stores,
barber shops and saloons to put
away their slot machines, has made
some of the retailers feel sore, and
there is some talk of making up a
pool, and trying a test case.
D. P. Boyer's handsome pool
room is quite an addition to his ci-
gar store, and "Dave" is doing a
nice business. His "Vivy Fins"
5 cent cigar is very popular, and
rumor has it that all the "Cuban-
ola" men smoke them after work-
ing hours.
C. W. DePauw, Secretary of The
Monarch Tobacco Works, Louis-
ville, Ky., was in town last Satur-
day. Mr. DePauw has a weakness
for old mahogany furniture, and
while here wtnt hunting for some.
J. Philipps, 725 Best street,
Buflfalo, N. Y , was in town this
week. Mr. Philipps was here to
buy cigars and leaf He is a staunch
"Union" man, and will buy goods
made by Union hands only. He

Hains' Diamond Cigar Store is
doing a nice business and this week
has a very fine window display of
pipes and smokers' articles.
The snow this week brought all
the boys out with their sleighs, and
they had many a brush on the road.

his cutter, but fortunately received
no bruises. The horse ran away

EDGERTON, WIS.
The business of moving the 190 (
crop in the southern growing
sections is pretty well tied up at the
present writing. Some riding is
being done in many localities but
the amount of trading effected is
decreasing. The growers are not
disposed as yet to grant much con
cession in price, while on the other
hand the buyers are unwilling to
pay the figures demanded. So long
as these conditions remain there is
little hope of any general movement.
A few sales only at former quota
tions have come to notice.
The market tor old leaf is un
eventful, a few tran^actions among
local dealers have taken place, but
the bulk of business is confined to
small lots to manufacturers. J
Friedman & Co., of Chicago, have
added to their already large holding
closed, and the small offerings and
sales give no measure of values.
We have had a severe storm ol
sleet doing great damage to tele-
graph and telephone wires and to
timber. The roads are too slippery
to haul upon and ver to the
prizing houses.
The loose tobacco market is quiet

Tobacco Farmsi in Japan.
For many years the tobacco used
in Japan has been imported from
the United States, from the Philip
pines and from Egypt, but an effort
is now being made by the Japanese
government to grow tobacco in
Japan. Tobacco farms, says the
Japan and America, have been
established in various provinces to
ascertain where the best soil for
different kinds of tobacco is to be
found. The result is reported to
be very satisfactory. The tobacco
produced is said to be equal to the
best American, and the hope is
entertained that after a few years
Japan will grow all the tobacco she
needs, particularly the finer grades.
There is not much soil to spare
from grain crops in Japan itself, but
in Formosa and Corea there is an
unlimited field for planting enter-
prise.

Tobacco In Kcntncky.
The statistics of manufacturing
industries for the state of Kentucky
for the census year 1900 show that
the manufacture of tobacco is the
most important industry in the
state. The 337 establishments re-
ported in 1900 with a total capital
of $9 451 ,725 gave employment to
6,838 wage earners, or 10 9 per
cent, of the wage earners employed
in the state, and the products were
valued at $21,922 in, or 14 2 per
cent, of the total value of the pro-
ducts of the state. In i8go there
were 26 establishments, with a
total capital of $4890851, wage-
earners to the number of 5 435 and
products valued at $11 321.375.
The increase in the value of the
products during the decade was
$10 600 736, or 93.6 per cent. In
1890 there were 38 establishments
in the state devoted to the mana-

census year the number of these
establishments had increased to 59

the output to $4,948,102 A decadt
ago there weie 144 cigar and cigar
ette factories in Kentucky, employ
ing a total capital of $528,297, and
having a total output valued at $1 ,•
058,099. The census of 1900 shows
that the number of these factories
had increased to 180, the capital to
$1,105 303, and the output to $i,-
506.559. In 1890 there were 79
establishments in the state engaged
in stemming and rehandling to
bacco, employing capital to the
amount of $1,675,083 and having
an output valued at $3 474 750. In
19CO the number of such establish
ments has increased to 98, the capi
tal to $4,860,629 and the output to
I5. 467. 360.
In 18 10 there were 2 tobacco fac
lories in Lexington, and in 18 19
two of the establishments located in
Louisville were engaged in what
was known to the trade as preparing
strips for foreign markets, while the
others produced cigars, snuff, and ;
chewing tobacco. At that period ;
cigars were made in small establish
ments in nearly every town in the i
state, and on many farms, while
chewing tobacco was also made in a
number of towns. Owing to the
facilities for communication with
the largest tobacco growing section
of the country, Louisville has been
for many years a leading leaf to-
bacco market of the world, and its
greater facilities a? a distributing
point have given it an added ad
vantage over other localities in the
state equally well supplied with the
leaf. Tobacco industries of all
kinds have tended, therefore, to
concentrate in that city, although
the establishments at Owensboro
and Henderson do an extensive
business in preparing leaf for ship-
ment.

Eastern Tobacco Reports.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
It is a hard as well as a painful
task to write up the conditions of
things occurring in the valley. And
we are very much disposed to pass
over the transactions of the last few
weeks. Hundreds of acres of to
bacco have been gathered in at
ridiculously low rates, much of it
at fairly good filler rate, and others
at about the rate that binders used
to sell for. And all this because
the growers didn't want to assort
it, or even if there was pole sweat
to go to work and throw it out.
They were seemingly frightened off
their base. We venture the opinion
that those who assort and hold their
crops will get much larger prices
than for several years past.
We have reports of sales in many
towns, but the prices run so low
that we haven't the face to give
them. Most of the larger growers
are either assorting their own or
have taken it to some local grower
who has the facilities for the work
and is doing it by the pound, while
others are sorting out the damaged
leaf and expect to sell in the bundle.
There is a very short supply of do
mestic leat in the country, and every
sprig is needed. The cigar makers
are using each week 2,117,292
pounds for their output. Where is
It to come from?
We note at Suffield, Ct.: Messrs.
Chapman & Son, who raised 45
acres last year, and which stripped
59,700 pounds, have sold it to a
Syracuse firm last fall at 23 cents
in the bundle, and were paid $2,000
to bind the bargain. They after
declined to take the goods. Chap-
man & Son advertised and sold it
at auction for 15 -'4 cents a pound
and sues for the balance.
At Pocomptuck we hear of one
sale at 15 cents, at East Hartford
good lots of seed leaf from 18 to
22^ cents, at Shaker Village Justin
Bard well 2 '2 acres at 16^2 cents.
At Amher.st a number of sales were
made at from 8 to 14 cents, and
some lots taken to Hatfield to be
assorted and packed and force
sweated.
Sunderland: "A little movement
of tobacco occurred last week.
Several lots were sold; some on
private terms, others at prices from
8 to 14c. Many of the lots after
sorting proved better than was ex-
pected, and have sold well."
Conway: "No sales to report.
A few are delaying sorting until
the first of February before they
commence to assort, hoping to sell
by that time. The general opinion
of those who have not sold is to
hold until certain figures are paid."
W^hately: "C. B. Dickinson sold
12 acres at 15c. Thomas Flynn
sold 10 acres at 14,'ic in bundle to
American Tobacco Company. Mrs.
Flavin 10 acres at 12c. Erastus
Graves 1 1 ^20 in bundle, all of these
to American Tobacco Company.
Hiram Bardwell, Elisha Grover,
George Graves, Charles Bardwell,
L. Sanderson and Mr. Codding at
IOC. These lots were from 2 to
acres each."
We have many other accounts of
deliveries of goods and of the dock-
ing practiced by the dealers, but
prefer to let them go without even
a mention. The fault is largely
that of the grower. If he wants to
sell his crop at filler rates it is his
business. He only shows his ignor-
ance of the market conditions.

Outlook for the 1901 crop prior
to the polesweat era in August was
never better. It seemed as though
the packers were getting the crops
that they were rushing about to
secure at really a low rate, and were
bound to make an excellent margin
on their purchases. But the humid
ity and terrible heat had the effect
to stop any further transactions on
the part of the packers, and the
later backing out from their bar
gains, and their determination nol
to honor their bargains only at a
deduction anywhere from 12^ t«i
50 per cent, deduction from the
agreed price, according as the)
could manage to browbeat tht^
grower. If they had d« manded o)
the grower to assortout thedamage*^
leaf, and then taken the sound leal
at the agreed price, it would havt
shown them as honorable men As
it is, the growers will form then
own conclusions and will take no
stock in their statements, and verj
many will insist upon a sum suf
ficient to bind the bargain effeclu
ally, while many will continue it-
assort and pack their own crops. —

The interest of the growers i>
directed toward the proposed reduc
tion in the tariff on Cuban tobacc«
and all the growers in this section
ure a unit in opposing it. J. W.

Operations in the new crop Zim
mer are still indulged in, but the
business of the past week is below
the average in volume. The ruling
price is still loc. The fog of Sun
day enabled farmers to remove more
of the crop from the poles, prepara
tory to stripping. Some growers

here on Saturday — News.

There is nothing to prevent the

000 in wages, besides consuming
$50,000,000 worth of tobacco and
other supplies, mostly produced
within the United States.
Under free trade, or any material
modification of the tariff, this vast
domestic manufacturing industry
would be largely transferred to Ha-
vana or Manila, unless our domestic
cigar makers accepted a wage re-
duction that would bring their pay
down to the low level of wages of
cigar makers in the tropics. Such
a change would be the most com-
plete and revolutionary ever wit-
nessed in the industrial world.
Cigar Leaf Industry not Depressed.
Be it understood, furthermore,
that the cigar leaf tobacco industry
of the world is prosperous and flour-
ishing. It is enjoying an era of
high prices and a rapidly increas-
ing consumption. Indeed, prices
of all desirable grades of cigar leaf
have seldom been higher for the
same length of time than the values
now prevailing and that have pre-
vailed for months.
While it is true that the sugar
market throughout the world is de-
pressed by over production, the ci-
gar leaf tobacco on the contrary is
in a strong position. Therefore,
none of the arguments that are be-
ing made for free Cuban sugar will
apply to Cuban tobacco.
This point should be distinctly
understood and cannot be too
strongly emphasized. The cases of
Cuban sugar and Cuban tobacco are
not analogous. Each should be con-
sidered separately.
With its great natural advantages
of soil and climate, and a people to
whom the culture and manufacture
of leaf tobacco has become a second
nature, the tobacco industry of Cuba
is absolutely certain to enjoy larger
profits than ever before. Why
should the United States add un-
necessarily to such already large
profits, to the grave detriment of its
own people?
The honorable governor general
of Cuba has testified that Cuba's
production of tobacco and manufac
tures therefrom has "about reached
its maximum." (See Gen. Wood's
article in The Outlook for January
18, 1902) Such a statement indi
cates either, (i) a purpose to inten-
tionally mislead (which of course is
hardly presumable), or (2), dense
ignorance as to the productive ca-
pacity of Cuba. Whatever prompted
Gen. Wood to make such a state-
ment, its utterance raises the grave
question as to how far the opinion
of thatofiicial is a safe one for Con-
gress to follow.
The report of the department of
agriculture, commerce and industry,
of the military government of Cuba
for the period from July 1, 1899, to
June 30, 1900, presents a glowing

view of agricultural productivity in
Cuba Two crops of corn and
beans are raised annually. Rice is
easily grown and of excellent
quality. Peas are sown all the
year round. Barley and oats are
easily cultivated. "Conditions are
favorable for the cultivation of
cotton."
Figures are given of the cost of
tobacco culture on the island (Pages
50 to 51), showing that the receipts
for an average crop at a low valua-
tion exceed the expenses by 50 per
cent. It is admitted that this esti-
mate of cost can be greatly reduced
by employing modern methods, that
the yield can be materially increased
and the quality improved so that
the receipts will be much larger.
The same report testifies that to-
bacco vegas or plantations have
been nearly all reconstructed. Cer-
tainly tobacco culture in Cuba has
already been fully restored, for the
production of leaf on the island dur-
ing year ended June 30, 1900, is re-
ported as 507,200 bales, against
454,000 bales in 1894, one year pre-
▼ious to the last war. A bale is
eomputed as averaging no pounds.
LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Labels on Cigar Boxes.
A collector has been advised that
a manufacturer may print the statu-
tory caution notice label directly
upon pasteboard or tin boxes ap-
proved for use in place of wooden
boxes for packing cigars, but that
in the case of wooden boxes the
statute specifically provides that the
label shall be aflBxed by pasting and
makes no provision for printing it
directly on the box.
Gigaiettes at Fifty-fonr Cents Pet Thoosand—
Ttade Matk in English.
In passing upon a request for
authority to purchase cigarette
stamps at 54 cents per thousand,
accompanied by a trade mark
printed in a foreign language, the
Commissioner advised the manu-
facturer that this trade mark as
translated into English must be
furnished to the Collector for the
district and appear printed on each
package of the cigarettes placed
upon the market. The usual cau-
tion notice was given to the Col-
lector to satisfy himself that the
manufacturer in question was pro-
ducing cigarettes which he would
be able to sell at the wholesale value
or price of $2 or less per 1,000.
Sale of Tobaceo by Growers.
A farmer who desired put up his
tobacco in 500 and 1,000 pound
packages and dispose of the same
to persons who wanted to sell it at
retail, inquired whether it would be
necessary for him to take out a
license, and whether the persons
who receive such tobacco from him
would also be required to take out
a license. He was advised that
while a farmer might sell the to
bacco in the condition in which it
was cured on the farm without re-
striction as to the quantity sold or
the business of the person who buys
the tobacco, unless such buyer was
a qualified dealer in leaf tobacco,
and confined his sales to the persons
enumerated in the statute, such to-
bacco to be legally disposed of by
a retail dealer would be required to
be packed, stamped and branded as
directed by the law and regulations;
and that the personal privilege of a
farmer to dispose of tobacco of his
own raising is one which can not
be delegated to any other person.

they had many virtues of a manly It was in the following spring
sort. They were grave and courteous that Father Le Jeune's real work
in discourse; they did not know the among the Indians began. By that
meaning of fear; they cared little time he had acquired a complete
for ease or comfort, seeming to pre- speaking mastery of their language
fer hardship and danger. It is true and was prepared to preach the
The little Jesuit mission of Notre
Damt des Anges at the foot of the
hill at Quebec, in 1640, was a busy
place at all times, but it was busier
than ever after the fathers had mas-
tered a speaking knowledge of the
uncouth language of the Indians
whom they had come from Fiance to
convert to Christianity. During the
first few weeks of their stay in
Canada Father Lc Jeune and his
little band of assistant missionaries
had been many times baffled in
their well meant eflforts with the
strange red men who had flocked
about them, by the difficulties of re-
ducing to something like syntactical
order the grunts and shouts of the
savages who were at once their
pupils and their teachers, but at
last the good priests were on solid
ground. They could talk with the
Indians at least after a fashion. They
had made a little working grammar
and they had constructed a vocab-
ulary. The wild men of the forest
were apt enough. The French
language appeared to present no
very great difficulties. Certain it
was, at any rate, that the language
of the "black robes" as they called
the priests, was by no means so dif-
ficult to them as their own language
was to the priests. They even
adopted French names and, at least
while at the mission, suffered them-
selves to be addressed as Pierre, or
Michel, or Jacques, or Jean, instead
of by their native names.
Father Le Jeune was delighted.
In his rude little frame hut and in
the bitter Canadian cold he and his
assistants were as happy as they
had ever been in their stately mon-
asteries at home. In their breasts
burned a zeal that, as after events
amply showed, was equal to any-
thing it was destined to face of hard-
ship and even of torture and of
death. But the beginnings of the
work were peaceable enough. The
Indians, on first acquaintance, it is
true, appeared to be nothing better
Mr. John H. Duvs.
they gorged themselves like so
many starving dogs every time food
was placed before them, but if Fa
ther Le Jeune's larder were empty,
which happened often enough in
that sad winter, they did not unduly
complain.
In short, the Indians were very
promising material, thought Father
Le Jeune. They had one vice, how
ever, which he was never tired of
I condemning— they smoked tobacco
all the time. Speaking of the fond
^ ness of the Indians for tobacco
Father Le Juene said in one of his
first letters home: "Their life on
Gospel to them in their own tongue.
No preacher ever had a more atten-
tive congregation than Father Le
Jeune's Indian neophytes were at
first. They literallv sat at his feet in
the gravest, most decorous silence.
They drank in what he had to tell
them of God and of his Son and of
the angels and saints. What he had
to tell them of Hell interested them
greatly, but his descriptions of the
tortures of the damned did not seem
to frighten them for they were too
mild. The red men had seen their
own friends in the flesh go through
much greater torment at the hands
of the Iroquois and other enemies,
and so the priest's account of a lake
of fire and of demons with red hot
pitchforks possessed no terrors for
the savages. Nevertheless, the
priest had smooth enough sailing.
It was when he unfolded his picture
of Heaven that the good priest
aroused th 2 greatest interest and
also encountered his severest disap-
pointment. The Indians knew of
a Happy Hunting Ground and of a
Great Spirit, and were quite willing
to listen to Father Le Jeune's ac-
count of the Christian Heayen. His
stories of choirs of white robed
angels singing entrancing music
while bathed in a glory far brighter
than any sunshine mortal ever knew
mightily pleased the Indians. The
celestial vision unfolded by the
priest was as attractive as he could
make it, and he dwelt upon each
detail with a passionate energy be-
cause he hoped much from this part
of his sermon in the work which he
had come to Canada to do.
Morning after morning did the
zealous priest go over this ground,
for it was only by repetition that he
could hope to achieve results. It
was on the seventh morning that the
great disappointment came. It was
evident from the demeanor of the
Indians that they had had a council
on the evening before and that they
were now ready to announce to
Father Le Jeune their formal deci-
sion as to the change of faith which
he had urged upon them. At last,
while the preacher was once more
elaborating his picture of Heaven,
the eldest of the Indians interrupted
him to ask:
**Is there any tobacco in your
Heaven?"
"No," answered the priest, and
his voice trembled as he spoke for
he had an intuition of what was
coming.
"Then," said the Indian chief,
rising, and with him rose all his
brethren, "we will maintain the
faith of our fathers. In our Heaven
there is endless tobacco, and we re-
fuse to believe that there can be any
Heaven without it."
Thereupon they went about their
business.

In the Tobacco Capital of
Pen n syl vania .
Lancaster, Pa., Feb 11, 1902.
Baying not general. Local dealers always ;
reaHy to sell goods. Manufacturer^
rather dull.
I
The local papers seem to be full
•f reports to the effect that leaf!
dealers are giving all their attention j
lo the buying of the new crop. If ■
we were to accept these statements
we would be far from the truth. It
is true there has been considerable ',
buying done, and by several Lan- '■
•aster packers some crops have been
received, but buying is not general.
Most of it is being done by country |
and some New York packers. Local i
packers, or at least a number of |
them, are buying very slowly, and
seem inclined to await further de-
▼elopments. I
The statement made to the effect ;
that little attention is given to sell
log, is equally untrue. It is a well
known fact that there is not a house
here that is not at all times ready to
sell tobacco, and they invariably
have some tobacco to sell. What
they may have to offer is perhaps \
not always just what a prospective
buyer wants, but they always have j
some tobacco to sell, just the same;
and furthermore, they are always :
willing to sell. Buying does not
really interfere with selling, for in a
large majority of cases they employ
what may be called specialists to
buy tobacco, and men who, with
but very few exceptions, arc not
employed by them as salesmen, as
can be shown in the case of George
Hoffman, who was for many years
t ayer with Rosenbaum & Seligs-
burg, New York, and who very
seldom did any selling, and certainly
not during the buying season . An
other is that of John McLaughlin,
who occupies an important position
with L. Bamberger & Co., Pl:iladel
phia, as manager of the Lancaster
warehouse, and whose time is al-
most wholly devoted to that partic-
ular work, giving him comparatively
little opportunity at selling. Cer-
tainly no one would infer that such
men cannot sell tobacco, for as a
matter of fact they might be among
the best, but employers evidently
believe that their time can be best
utilized in the particular work for
which their services have been
secured.
Selling tobacco is going on when-
ever the market affords an oppor-
tunity and is not affected in the least
by a buying season.
During the past week I find that
nearly all dealers did some business
in selling tobacco.
Nearly all manufacturers in this
county are somewhat dull. While
not many have shut down yet, not
one has experienced a rush for
several weeks.
Gotselig & Boas have purchased
a property at 828 St. Joseph street
which will be turned into a cigar
factory by the ist of April, and oc- i
cupied by them. '
The M. Kinports Co., at Eph- '
rata, have been branching . out j
somewhat this year. A new factory i
is being started by them at Akron. '
The amount realized at the In
ternal Revenue office for4this dis- ;
trict during January was: '
Cigars, $188,89404
Tobacco, 4,067.78
Snuff, 45 12
These figures represent a produc-
tion of 62 , 964 , 640 cigars , an increase
of 8,000,000 over December 1901,
and a decrease of about this number I
as compared with January, 1901.
Wm. R. Cooper reports a very
fair trade sinct beginning business
on his own account at 138 Market
street, on January ist.
The leaf firm of P. L & J. K.
Leaman has changed its name to P.
L. Leaman & Co. Both former
members are, of course, still in the
6rm, and in addition Julius Fox, a
popular young member of the leaf i
trade here, has also become actively

several days last week, and good

A rather interesting law suit was
heard before Judge Landis last week,
in the case of Amanda Rogers vs.
John E. Snyder, Esq. L. S.
Rogers, husband of the plaintiff,
formerly a cigar manufacturer at
Millersville, in 1893 bought from
W. R. Martin a property at the S.

claim was that she inherited $1,805
from her father's estate, $600 from
her mother's estate, and had had a

that the Cuban tobacco merchants
are tricky and in some cases void of
honor. They recall that in 190 [ the
export duty of $3 a bale was not
taken off until more than one half
of the purchases for the United
States had been shipped, thus sub
jecting the holders of this tobacco
to a loss of 3 cents a pound.
They do not love us, yet are never
done asking. At first when the
natural proposition was made to
them that under a reciprocal ar-
rangement American tobaccos
should be admitted into Cuba at the
same duties as tobaccos coming into
the United States from Cuba, they
"kicked" with a strenuousness that
showed how vigorous they are for
all their plea of starvation. They
said that American tobacco admitted
The States from the Cigar Man's Point of View.
Iowa has realized what the poet
Sidney Lanier once predicted would
be the fruition of the hopes of Geor
gia — she has ,300,000 farmers, and
the majority of them are prosperous
enough to be able to smoke cigars
They are small farmers, not so small
as those of whom Lauier once wrote
so entertainingly. The average
Hawkeye farmer is content with
from 160 to 640 acres He doesn't
raise the great variety of things
raised on the small farms of Geor
gia, but he is happy.
A week or so ago a writer in a
New York paper said :
FEBRUARY 12, iqo2.
Justice to Cuba and — to Ourselves.
If you were to be accosted on a
public highway by a sturdy beggar
whoshouldsayto you: "Either five
me money for charity's sake or sub-
mit to be robbed" you would in-
stantly turn the fellow over to a
policeman.
The threat which is said to come
from Cuba that unless the United
States Government gives the Cubans
the reciprocity they ask for in order
to save them from starving they
"will take to the woods" is precisely
like the threat of the burly tramp
who is half mendicant, half robber.
What Cuban has said this thing?
Let us have his name if he is brave
enough to come out into the open.
Otherwise, why shall we heed him?
That the Cubans, and especially
those among them who are well
disposed to this government greatly
desire the reciprocity of which we
have of late heard so much there is
no denying. The advantages at
least so far as the tobacco ques-
tion is concerned, would be wholly
theirs. But are there really and
truly many Cubans who are well
disposed toward the United States?
Isn't it rather the truth that the
mass of the Cuban people, despite
all that we have done for them and
notwithstanding the vast sums we
have spent in their behalf, still hate
us with an unreasoning rancor?
It would be gratifying to learn that
this is not true, but if it isn't how
does it come that in the theatres of
Havana the American flag is hissed
whereas the flag of Spain is ap-
plauded? Isn't it the fact that most
Cubans still long for Spanish rule, I
still cherish in their hearts the de-
lusion that if Blanco had chosen to
hold out he could have licked us in
spite of Santiago? I
Many New York tobacco buyers
who know Havana almost as well as
they know New York say that these
things are true. They say further

this matter was urged again with
the inherent resistlessness of the
logic there is in it, they said that if
the Americans insisted upon literal
reciprocity they would concede it.
Who is to be hurt by the admis-
sion of American cigar leaf into
Cuba at a reasonable rate of duty?
Not the honest man who genuinely
makes his cigars out of tobacco
grown in Cuba. Who is to be bene-
fited? The tobacco grower of Florida,
of Connecticut, of Pennsylvania, of
Ohio, of Wisconsin; the leaf mer-
chant of New York, of Philadelphia,
of Chicago? Will cigars made of
American tobacco in Cuba be worse
than cigars made in the United
States of the same tobaccos? Who
would believe such a theory?
The majority of the tobacco trade
is apparently strongly opposed to
the kind of reciprocity demanded by
the Cubans. On their tobaccos and
cigars the Cubans are not entitled . . ,
to a cent's reduction from present | 000 people of Iowa is native Ameri

liberally bought, and as for the seed
and Havanas and high grade nickel
cigars the state is a harvest.
The competition for the trade of
Iowa is very keen among cigar
manufacturers. It is said the cigar
smokers of the Hawkeye state, once
they give their patronage to a brand,
are staunchly loyal to it and very
diflficult to win to some new allegi-
ance. Yet it would be most unjust
to say of them that they will not
listen to representations concerning
new cigars, for precisely the opposite
is the fact. There are plenty of
good newspapers in Iowa and in
their advertising columns, particu-
lurly of late, very noticeable are the
advertisements of new brands of ci-
gars. The advertising agents say

cents a pound on tobacco. Congress
will be doing what the whole to-
bacco trade wants, but it will be do-
ing an unwise thing to give the
Cubans a reduction of 50 per cent,
from the present duties. It will*
harm the growers of Florida who
have invested millions of dollars in
improving their leaf. It will harm
the tobacco growers of New Eng-
land, of Pennsylvania, of Ohio, of
Wisconsin. It will take at least
some bread out of the mouths of the
100,000 and more operatives in the
cigar factories in the United States

many more thousands no wconcerned
in the prosperity of the cigar indus-
try here, and as to a 50 per cent, re-
duction in the duties on cigars it will
help only those who can keep on
being rich without our help.
Possibly this summary may seem
readable enough. Here's a fillip to
aid digestion: We are advised from
Havana that the Cubans are so con-
fident of getting the reciprocity they
are asking for that prices of leaf have
advanced sharply in anticipation of
early action by Congress.

you tie up a bundle of your cigars,
or toy with one of your wife's, or
your sweetheart's ribbons, you get
a clear notion of the work done
every week day on the looms of the
William Wicke Ribbon Company,
at Glendale, L. I-
You get to Glendale by train from
Long Island City. Locally, Glen-
dale, which is only seven miles from
New York city, is
known as Wickeville,
because the Wm.
Wicke Ribbon Com-
pany gives employ-
ment to fully 600 peo-
ple, all of whom live
within easy distance
of their place of em-
ployment.
It was on January
J I, on the very anni-
versary of the great fire
of 1901, which com-
pletely destroyed the
cigar box factory and
silk ribbon looms of
the Wm. Wicke Co.,
at First avenue land
Thirty first street, in
New York city, that a
Tobacco World re-
porter under the escort
of Secretary U. R. T.
Lund and B. Obern-
dorfer, one of the com-
pany's salesmen , visit-
ed the looms at Glen-
dale. It had been
snowing for two days,
and the condition of the streets
ing the ruins will be able to get
down to this deposit, and mean-
while the coal will continue to burn.
At the northeast corner of First
avenue and Thirty first street, im-
mediately beneath where the offices
and stock rooms of the Wm. Wicke
Company were located, a number
of men were dislodging a blackened
and useless hand press once utilized
for the printing of labels, and all
about underfoot were stacks of
watersoaked and flame n i p p e d
labels, once bright with color and
resplendent with gold, but now
chastened and robbed of all their
original glory.
building has a front of 180 feet by
a depth of 50 feet. The other is
240 feet long and 50 feet wide
Both buildings are of brick, and
the total number of looms installed
in them and in daily operation is
500.
The processes undergone by the
silk in the transformation to rib-
bons are not numerous. Briefly
they are: the throwing, the drying,
the dyeing and finishing, the warp
ing, the quilling and the weaving
All of these processes are interest-
ing, some of them more so than
others, perhaps, but none of them
takes long
To begin ut the beginning, the
raw 5ilk upon its reception at Glen-
dale in bales is stored in an apart
ment which is genuinely fire proof

States. The piles of unremoved j Long before the great fire of
brick and iron were covered with January 31, 1901, the buildings at
Glendale had been erected and the
looms were at work. The real
estate at Glendale owned by the
company comprises seventy city
lots. There are two great ribbon
mills on the ground. Each is three
stories high, with a basement. One
snow, but over in one corner smoke
from a fire unextinguished after a
whole year, was still issuing out of
the ground. Part of the 300 tons
of coal in the old cellar was still
smouldering. It may be months
still before those who are excavat-
silk is thoroughly cleaned and then
dyed. The dyes are almost with
out number. From its bath in the
dyeing vat, after being gently
twisted between the two hands of
the dyer, the silk is loosely wrappeil
in cloths and is then placed in the
"whizzer" tobedried. The "whiz-
zer" is a deep circular vessel which
spins around at the rate of 3,000
revolutions a minute. At one side
is an opening to premit the escape
of the wetness. Seven minutes in
the "whizzer" suffice. The silk is
still slightly moist and in order to
dry it thoroughly it goes into the
drying room where in twenty-four
hours, in a temperature of 140 de-
grees Fahrenheit, it does get thor-
oughly dried sure enough.
The processes of winding, of
warping, of quilling and of weav-
ing require no detailed description.
The ribbons made at Glendale speak
for themselves and are well known
in every part of the world where
cigar ribbons, or silk ribbons for
binding, for ladies' belting, or for
any other purpose for which silk
ribbons are in demand, are used.
The looms at Glendale are under
the personal supervision of Treas-
urer H. Broockmann and his aids.
Vice President George H. Wicke
lives at Richmond Hill near by, and
is daily at the mills.
Since July i, 1901, the looms at
Glendale have been producing silk
ribbons at the rate of 75,000,000
yards a year. Of this total pro-
duction about 20,000,000 yards are
cigar ribbons. Prior to the war
with Spain fully 97 per cent, of all
the cigar ribbons woven by the
Wm. Wicke Ribbon Company were
yellow, but latterly
the demand for red
ribbons from Porto
Rico has cut this
down to 87 per cent.,
fully 10 per cent, of
the present output be-
ing red ribbons for
Porto Rico. The re-
maining 3 per cent, is
made up of blue, pur-
ple, white and parti-
colored ribbons.
The remaining 55,-
000,000 yards of rib-
bon made at Glendale
are for the ladies, or
for binding for blan-
kets, underwear, etc.
Recently a number
of high speed looms
have been put in op-
eration at Glendale.
These looms send the
shuttle to and fro 1 70
times to the minute,
whereas the highest
speed of the other
looms is from 100 to
1 10 times.
The high speed looms are manu-
factured for the William Wicke
Ribbon Co. by Schaum & Uhlinger,
of Philadelphia, who also manu-
facture the "whiz«er" above men-
tioned.
Some of the automatic warping
machines for conducting the very
fine threads of the dyed raw silk
on to the spools upon which they
go to the looms are the invention
of the Wm. Wicke Ribbon Com-
pany's officers. These machines
are very beautiful and do their work
with remarkable skill and with ab-
solute fidelity.
The silk bast, of which the Wm.
Wicke Ribbon Co. is the sole man-
ufacturer, is wholly the company's
own invention. Every thread in
the bast is fine silk held together
by a paste the ingredients of which
are a jealously guarded secret.

j The ladies would doubtless be
deeply interested in a description
of the processes undergone by the
satin faced gros grain ribbons in
which they delight and which are
produced in such vast quantities
and in such bewildering beauty of
tint at Glendale, but unfortunately
there isn't room here for such a
description, and so those ladies who
read this will have to be content
with the assurance that no prettier
ribbons for true lovers' knots are
made anywhere in the wide world.
As to the cigar ribbons, let it
suffice to say that the Wm. Wicke

150 different samples, and that it is
at all times prepared to make any
other styles that may be desired.

upon cigar ribbons is done on a

It is admitted by all the jobbers
here that their trading is becoming
steadily more concentrated and that
■ conditions are growing more critical
each day. Belief has been prevalent
• for some time that the American
and Continental Tobacco Companies
would eventually establish distri-
buting agencies here, with a view
to making price-cutting more nearly
I impossible. This view is now held
by a number of our tradesmen.
I Through an association of the
jobbers this evil has been remedied
I
to some extent, but it still exists
more or less among those who are
called sub-jobbers, and it seems
those are the more difficult people
to handle, perhaps by reason of
their greater number and possibly
. from a lack of a more thorough un-
derstanding. Within the past two
weeks a large jobbing house is re-
ported to have been cut off from
their direct supply of a certain line
of goods, which others have taken
as a premonition and warning.
There is said to have been an
improvement in the sale of the
"Cubanola" cigars during the past
I week. One jobber, who had sold
at one time as high as 70,000 in a
week, had noticed the trade falling
off to about 25,000, but during the
past week this figure was again
somewhat increased.
tniRAGE CAPACITY 10.000 CASI
The "Ursa" cigar recently mar-
I keted by the Allen & Marshall Co. ,
of this city, the manufacturers say,
has now been successfully intro-
duced, and they are highly encour-
aged by the fact that duplicate
orders are coming in at a fairly
; rapid rate. One particular sales-
man last week brought in orders
aggregating 1,600, all of which but
! 100 were duplicate orders. Some
new advertising matter in the form
of tin signs is now being distributed.
Frank Timball, who was for many
years a tobacco salesman of this
city, has joined the forces of the
Allen & Marshall Co. and is look-
ing after the local territory at
present.
; F. X. Kelly, formerly the Phil-
adelphia representative of the Wil-
son & McCalley Tobacco Co., at
Middletown,0.,has taken a position
i as head city salesman with the Penn
Tobacco Co. of this city.
Vicente Portuondo has brought
out a new label for his ' ' Portuondo"
cigar. For the protection of his
trade, he has also decided to brand
his name upon every cigar. The
"Portuondo" is now being made
in several grades and for the higher
grades a very fine, highly embossed
label is being used. Special trim-
mings have also been adopted for
the boxes, to distinguish their goods
from any other.
The E. Bradford Clark Co. at
Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, have
had quite a sale on Porto Rico ci-
gars. Their demand for clear
Havana goods, which are mostly
made in Key West, has been good.
In domestic, or seed and Havana
goods, a strong leader is being
made of the "Barrister," made by
Celestino Costello & Co., of York,
Pa. The "Little Barrister" is also
meeting with a ready sale in five
cent goods.

Oblinger Bros. & Co. recently
engaged Edward Leidy as an addi-
tional city salesman, and he has

H. B. Grauley, manufacturer of
the "Golden Rule" cigar, is distri-

as an advertisement of his goods.
The safe is bound with celluloid,
upon which is printed very artistic-
ally a miniature reproduction of his
label. From the number which
have already been distributed they
certainly seem to be highly ap-
preciated by every one to whom
they are offered.

to close the Hotel Lafayette on

a profitable one,
William Taylor, a representative
of the Punch Cigar Factory, con-
trolled by the Cuban-American
Manufacturing Co., whose head-
quarters are in this city, has been
making the rounds of the trade here
during the past week.
Charles Winterberg, of Winter
berg & Kraus, New York city, has
been here displaying a very attrac
tive line of their "Rosa- Alpena."
V. Raymond Newman, more
familiarly known as "Vic." has
taken a position as salesman with
F. H. Powell, of Camden, N. J.,
manufacturer of the well known
"Oxus" brand of nickel cigars.
His territory includes Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania, and during the
past two weeks, since which he has
been connected with Mr. Powell, he
has made a very substantial progress
and succeeded in placing the goods
with a large number of new custom-
ers. Mr. Powell has been extend-
ing his business quite rapidly of late
by putting on several additional
salesmen and extending his field of
operation far beyond its previous
proportions.
Some new and highly artistic ad
▼ertising goods are being shown the
trade here by N. S. Bryant, whose
offices are at 317 Bourse Building.
Mr. Bryant is an old and thoroughly
experienced hand at the business,
and his friends here are highly
pleased in knowing that he is repre-
senting several of the most promi
nent manufacturers of their respec-
tive classes of advertising goods, a
fact which has been of material aid
to him in making the progress which
he has made so far.
A workman on the new building
of the American Cigar Company, at

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
Transactions in the local leaf
j market have been of a steady though
I not voluminous nature, the bulk of
the business done being with out of
town buyers, and mostly through
salesmen on the road. The Phil
adelphia sales are characterized by
continued dullness.
Broad leaf is still a strong leader,
while inquiries for Wisconsin goods
have also been more or less urgent.
The indications from reports thus
far received are that January was a
better month than February will
probably be.
The Havana market has been
normal and fair, and prices are be-
ing well maintained. Factory vegas
are selling more or less readily.
Sumatra is still somewhat quiet.
General Nunez
Wants Reciprocity.
Civil Governor of Havana Maizes a
Statement of his Views.
Gen. Emilio Nunez, Civil Gover-
nor of Havana, arrived in Philadel
phia late last week in company with
Leopold Loeb, of the Loeb Nunez
Havana Company. Gen. Nunez is
on his way to Washington, where
he will consult with President
Roosevelt and the Ways and Means
Committee of Congress relative to
the proposed treaty of reciprocity
between the United States and Cuba.
During an interview he said:
"I agree with General Wood that
any delay in the matter of reciproc-
ity with Cuba threatens ruin to our
] sugar and tobacco industries.
I "The question in Cuba is this: If
i the United States does not give us
Cuba the wages of cigarmakers are
high, if not higher, than here in the
United States.
"Suppose Cuba places a prohibi-
tiveexport duty on Havana tobacco.
I am sure a great many American
manufacturers would be ruined and
the whole industry would suflfer.
"The strongest argument to those
representatives in the Cuban As-
sembly who opposed the Piatt
amendment was that we were sure
that the United States, in just return,
would make areciprocity treaty with
Cuba, which will be beneficial to
both countries. President Roosevelt
and Governor General W^ood both
understand the real situation and
are working as much for the United
States as for Cuba and to sustain
the best market the United States
has in America. It is natural that,
having helped us to achieve our
freedom, they will see with pride
that we are able to form and main-
tain a stable government.
"I shall go from here to Washing-
ton, where I shall pay my respects
to the President, and, if possible,
will see the members of the com-
mittee on ways and means. I have
already sent letters to Congress and
the Senate in relation to the situa-
tion in Cuba."

Bernard Leidersdorf, the head of
the firm of B. Leidersdorf & Co.,
whose fine cut and smoking tobac-
cos have long been recognized as
standards, established his factory in
Milwaukee in 1864. He was one
of the sufferers by the great fire of
1892, but despite that disaster, and
in the face of keen competition, his
establishment has grown until it is
at this time one of the most import-
ant tobacco factories in the country.
— About 450,000 Manila cigars
and a lot of Manila tobacco has been
landed in Honolulu, Hawaii, free
of duty under the "14 diamond
rings decision" of the Supreme
Court. Manila cigars have always
been favorites in Hawaii until the
last year and a half, when the tariff
almost drove them out of the
market. The Internal Revenue tax
on these goods amounts to about
$12 000.

HOW^ IT IS IN YORK.
York, Pa., Feb. 10, 1902.
The proprietors of the majority of
the factories in the county have had
no reason to complain about too fre
quent visits from tobacco salesmen
during the past week, the extremely
cold weather making such visits
well nigh impossible, although a few
have braved the cold, well tucked
in sleighs and other conveyances.
Tobacco buying and packing is
progressing as heretofore, no unus-
ual purchases having been made,
while the packers have their hands
full in handling their tobacco.

THE TOBACCO* WORLD
THIS MEANS
/a m YOU ^ ^
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 tlnd 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 Talkie, 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
cig:ir 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 you get
so perfect a wrapper, get
so man\ 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 you that they
are true.
All we ask is for nn
opportunity to do this,
and it seems to us that we ought to have it.
It wont cost you much of anything to write
us a letter asking all the questions you want to
and leaving it with us to prove our case to you.
Don't you think you had better do that today?
If we can't do any better by you, we also
stand ready to sell you the recognized best
Die table in the business.
Ask for booklet W.S., when writing to us.

The report, several weeks ago, to
the eflFect that a box factory would
be started in Pleasure ville, is con-
firmed, it having been put in work-
ing order by Wm. G. Shepp about
two weeks ago. This is something
new for Pleasureville, and will no
doubt receive a fair patronage.
The box factory of Miller & An-
derson, at Red Lion, will be oper-
ated in the future by Harvey and
John Miller, under the firm name
of Miller Bros., the old firm having
dissolved by mutual consent, while
Mr. Miller associates his brother
with himself. This has been a suc-
cessful business firm heretofore, be-
ing right in the midst of a number
of cigar manufacturers.
This district, while stigmatized in
the past by the reputable Ninth, is
outgrowing this stigma, and to day
stands for a mark of success. Not
a few union factories have grown
up lately , and from small beginnings
have made wonderful successes.
We instance the factory af John
Little, at Hanover, as one deserv-
ing especial mention. His "James
Hamilton" brand has proven itself
"a good thing" from the start, and
it now has a well-established repu
tation. A new brand, "Sam Not
Chase," is destined to share success
with the other, judging from the
quality of the goods,
Geo. W. Gable, of Windsorville,
reports that his large factory is as
busy as can be, with many orders
unfilled. I
Dave Woodmansee, of Spring
Grove, was a caller in the city dur-
ing the past week. Mr. Woodman-
see is at present busy on a new
brand, "414," lately placed on the
market, for which he has already
received some very nice orders.

that it went into the property in

property was never put in her name

went into the cigar business at
Millersville. He failed, and a levy
was made upon his property real and

sold as that of L. S. Rogers be-
longed to his wife, but the property
was sold, and purchased by Mr.
Snyder, hence the action in eject-
ment above referred to. The de-
fense showed that the money put
into the property came from L S.
Rogers, who it was shown owned
a property in York in 1891, and
sold it in 1895 for $1,600 receiving
$200 on account and a mortgage
for 1 1, 400. When the James street
residence was purchased Rogers
secured from his employer, K. M.
Cohu $3,000 giving his note for
same. One year later $1,000 was
paid by Rogers on the note, and in
1897, when Rogers received the
money on the mortgage held on the
York property, he paid off another
$1,000. When Rogers left Mr.
Cohn's employ to go into business
a note for $1,000, representing the
balance due, was recorded by Mr.
Cohn, and when Rogers failed in
business execution was issued. The
court instructed the jury to render
a verdict in favor of defendant.

Wind Hurts Cigar Trade.
"How's business ? ' ' asked the cus-
tomer at a cigar store, as he cut off
the end of his cigar.
"Nothing doing," said the man
behind the counter, with a look of
mild disgust.
"What's the matter?"
' ' Wind's blowing. Never do any-
thing in our business when the wind
is blowing. Trade always begins
to fall off when it gets cold and be-
gins to blow. A man who knows
how to smoke never likes to smoke
out in the wind. The best time for
us is the spring and summer. You
might think that our trade in win-
ter would be pretty good, becaust
lots of men smoke indoors then.
We do have a good box trade in
winter, but the summer is our time.
May is the best month."

THE TRADE IN READING.
Reading, Pa., Feb. 10, 1901.
Reading cigar manufacturers
difier in their opinions as to the
proposed reduction in the Cuban
tobacco tariffs. Some favor a slight
concession, but others say there is
no reason why this should be
granted. Julian G. Hansen says,
"We owe the Cubans nothing. The
government freed them at a great
expense, and I don't see what
ground they have to ask any favors.
They are getting a big price for
their products, their land is cheaper
than ours, and the price of their
labor is way down. Through the
high prices of Cuban tobacco and
by the aid of our tariff, our farmers
rate were entitled to the rebate of
the difference, providing that it
amounted to more than $10 As
some of the manufacturers had
many thousands of cigars on hand
at a time, the rebate due them, and
to dealers carrying large lines, will
amount to large sums. The method
of securing the rebate, however, is
tied up with many yards of red tape,
and this has caused almost six
months of delay. Each application
for rebatt must be verified. In the
case of the applicants from this dis-
trict, Collector Fred. W. Cranston,
found them correct, but nothing
further has been heard from Wash-
ington.

hare developed into tobacco grow- buying ,p tobacco for the house
ers, and now simply to please the
Cuban people, shall we give our
own people a black eye? It would
be a serious matter to the cigar
trade to admit Cuban cigars at a
lower duty, as it would bring them
directly into competition with the
cigars made by well- paid American
labor."
Yocum Bros., cigar manufac-
turers, are packing a large number
of their better grade cigars in glass
jars, each of which holds 50. This
is done in order that the contents
will not dry out. Some time ago
the Commissioner of Internal Rev-
enue made a ruling that this was a
technical violation of the law regu
lating the packing of cigars in
packages which could be used a
second time, and that it could not
be allowed any longer. A member
of the firm went to Washington and
there had a conference with the
Commissioner. He showed that the
introduction of the glass jar was an
improvement to the trade; that it
had been greatly appreciated by !
smokers, and that it was no viola-
tion of the regulations. He was
able to convince the Oommissioner
that everything was all right, and
an order has since been issued per-
mitting the use of glass jars for this
Co). S. G. Wenrich, of Sinking
Springs, through his attorney, I.
C. Becker, has instituted a suit in
trespass against Constable Peter M.
Krick, Thomas Baer and Henry
Yoh, all of Sinking Springs, for
$500 damages. It seems that Messrs.
Baer and Yoh, had an execution
issued against O. B. Huyett, cigar
manufacturer, and had a large
quantity of cigars levied on. Col.
Wenrich notifiel them that the ci
gars levied on belonged to him.
Notwithstanding this. Constable
Krick sold them for Messrs. Baer
and Yoh, hence the suit.
Charles Slater closed his cigar
factory, 425 Pine street, and filed
his papers with Collector Cranston.
John H. Obold, through attorney
W. J. Rourke, has instituted a suit
against James W. Yocum, of the
firm of Yocum Bros., to recover
$647. The case grows out of for
mer Internal Revenue clerk I. G.
Becker's 12,500 shortage. Messrs.
Obold and Yocum were Becker's
sureties.

TOBACCO REPORTS.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
There have been many sales of
late of the 1901 crop, but at very
low prices, really ridiculously low
prices. Not one of them hardly as
high as seconds are worth, and very
many at barely filler prices. We
have the name of one grower who
sold seven or eight tons at 1 1 ^ and
5c. While 250 cases of Wisconsin
Havana seed were reported sold at
1 8c, and this Wisconsin leaf is
bought for binders. Some claim
that nearly or quite half of the Con
necticut Valley crop is sold. Ii
seems as though prices were im
proving, as that now held is largely
by men that are not disposed to bell
at such prices as were at first
offered. So they are having their
crops packed and will hold for the
sweat. We have heard of one
grower who, in assorting, finds no
more damage than is shown in
average years, and says his crop is
assorting nearly or quite 60 per
cent, of fine light wrappers. Others
say that the bulk of the late-cut to
bacco is remarkably free from dam
age of any kind. If it is absolutely
necessary that the grower should
sell at 5 and i cent, then we have
only this to say, such a man should
have a guardian, or spend his en-
ergies in growing "taters."

14^ cents, H. G. Rhood 2j4 acres
at 17 cents, all in the bundle.
Hatfield: "Tobacco crop of 1901
is selling fast, most of it at very
low prices, from 7 to 1 1 cents; a

all too low for any profit to the
grower. Offers are now for crops
assorted at 14 and 15 cents and re-
fused "
Sunderland: "Some small lots of
tobacco were sold, though large
lots are mixed in. Prices mostly

Hinsdale: "Sutter Bros, are pick-

the price whether good or poor.
The crop here is very free from pole

Whately: "Buyers have been

who are in the market have not

MIAMISBURG, OHIO.
Very little of the 1900 crop was
delivered during the past week,
partly on account of unfavorable
weather for driving and also be
cause of the scarcity of this crop in
farmers' hands
A fair delivery of 1900 crop Zim-
mer was received here Saturday,
the first receipt worth mentioning,
and farmers were pleased with the
weights received. Several more
packers have commenced buying
the new Zimmer since our last issue,
and it was commonly reported that
general buying by nearly all of the
large concern* would be indulged
in this week, but as very few re
ports of transactions have been re
ceived it is likely that the weather
has been too severe for driving.
Another good season for taking
down the hanging tobacco is very
much desired just now. It is re
ported that parties who contracted
while tobacco was in the field are
now repudiating their contracts,
but as we are not in possession of
all of the facts we are unable to
speak of the case. — News.

Al. Schroede will now conduct the
business. Mr Schrode is now ship-

also did Andrew Norman ship the

crop. — Courier.
EDGERTON, WIS.
While there is a general com-
plaint among the dealers of a dull
market, it is quite evident there is
considerable tobacco being pur
chased throughout the growing
sections, and much of it too, at
prices that have prevailed earlier.
The aim so far, of course, has been
to secure selections. The farmers
now have their tobacco stripped
and goods are sold on their merits
J M. Conway, Geo. Underbill
and C. F.Tallard are in the tobacco
sections of New England securing
packings of the new crop which
will be shipped to this state to be
assorttd and packed. The former
has about 500CS now in transit.
A few fair sized transactions in
old goods have taken place during
the week. The most important one
being the sale of nearly 8oocs of
1900 by Eckhart & Co. of Vernon
county leaf, to L. Bamberger & Co.,
of Philadelphia. A. N. Jones sold
two lots of i»,oo, aggregating 355CS.
A. L. Fisher & Co. have also dis-
posed of 350 cases.
Tobacco is being delivered at the
packing points about as fast as is
needed for warehouse handling and
is generally in unusually good pack-
ing condition.
Shipments, 400CS. — Reporter.
JANESVILLE, WIS.
The tobacco buyers and growers
do not seem to agree as to price
any better than they have for some
time past, consequently sales are
few and far between. Only now
and then a purchase is made by the
farmers and prices are but a shade
lower than several months ago
Buyers are obstinate and insist that
there is no use of their riding until
the farmers are disposed to make
some concessions. The farmers
are equally firm and insist on their
price or no sale.
In old goods market conditions
remain unchanged and uneventful.
Mr. A. Loeb. of K. Strauss &
Co., and Mr. McComas were here
last week with N. J. Casey, their
local representative. They secured
several fine lots of 1900 tobacco. —

Pittsburg Manufacturer Ob-
jects to Reduction of Duty
on Cuban Goods,
Alexander M. Jenkinson, Presi-
dent of the R. & W. Jenkinson
Company, manufacturers of cigars,
recently gave his views on the sub-
ject of reciprocity with Cuba as it
affects the tobacco trade. Mr.
Jenkinson said :
"As far as the cigar business is
concerned, the case presents two
points of view. In the first place,
let us look at the Cubans themselves.
Is the cigar industry of the island
in need of help, and, for argument's
sake, allowing this, would a reduc
tion, if made, accrue in any way to
the Cuban workmen? On the other
hand, would a reduction of duty be
in any way detrimental to the in
dustry of the manufacture of the
better grades of cigar, clear Ilavanas,
generally so called in the United
States, the manufacture of which is
largely in New York city, Tampa
Key West, Ocala, Ybor City, etc ?
"Ninety per cent, of the cigar
manufacturing bubiness transacted
in Cuba is virtually controlled by
two corporations, the larger of
which is an English syndicate mak
ing fully 60 per cent, of all the cigars
manufactured in the island, and the
other an American corporation, pro
dacing the larger part of the remain
ing 30 per cent. The prospects are
that these two corporations will con-
solidate under one gigantic trust in
the near future.
Scheme of Two Corporations.
"In my estimation the whole
trend of the demand for any lower-
ing of duties on cigars is a cleverly
devised, and, to a certain extent,
cleverly concealed scheme on the
part of these two corporations to
open up the fine cigar market of
the United States, and at the same
time to ruin their competitors now
manufacturing here.
"No fine cigars were manufac
tured in the United States prior to
1890. At that time, on the enact-
ment i)f the McKinley bill a suffici-
ently high tariff was placed on man
ufactured cigars to induce and en-
able American manufacturers to go
into the business. The results are
well known, not only to the trade,
but to smokers of fine cigars at large.
Ten years ago Tampa City was a
row of sandhills. To day it is a
city with 30,000 population, and a
payroll in its cigar factories of $ 1 25 , -
000 a week Any reduction what-
soever of the present duty on im
ported cigars would wipe out Tampa
and the other manufacturing centers
1 have mentioned With only two
exceptions in the last 10 years has
the number of cigars imported from
Cuba to the United States been as
large as in 1901.
Extent of the Cuban Trade.
" The attorneys having in charge
the pushing of these schemes of the
Cuban manufacturers tell us we owe
something to Cuba and the cigar
business, as we have closed their
market with Spain, the Spaniards
having largely ceased using Havana
tobacco since the Cuban war. To a
certain extent that is true. The
largest amount Spain ever bought
from Cuba in any one year is valued
at $700,000 — a mere drop in the
bucket as compared with their total
trade. Last year it dropped to $400,
000. Practically, however, the mar
ket for Cuban cigars is the world.
Every other nation on earth in-
creased its business with Cuba last
year, the total increase being $7,-
000,000.
"The tobacco planters are not
suffering on account of the high
tariff, as I am credibly informed
there is not a bale of tobacco in the
hands of a planter in Cuba to day.
In addition to their own crop of to-
bacco, they imported 40,000 bales
from Puerto Rico, which went out
; to the world as Havana cigars. Our
I War Department in charge of Cuban
affairs put a stop to this by impos-
ing a duty of $5 a pound on tobacco
going into Cuba.
Vital Reduction Demanded.
"The concealment of the syndi
cates' scheme of breaking into the
United States market at the expense
of our own manufacturers lies in
the request for the 50 per cent,
horizontal reduction. To enable
any fine cigars to be made in the
United States, in the tariff bill of
1890 a duty of i2>^ times the duty
on raw material was placed on the
manufactured article. You will
readily see how a 50 per cent, hori-
zontal reduction would work in this
case.
"To maintain the equity and the
parity existing in the present tariff,
if any reduction whatsoever were
made on raw tobacco, let us say
one of 25 per cent. , a 2 per cent, re-
duction only should be made on the
manufactured article. Prior to the
tariff bill of 1890 this country was
flooded with an enormous quantity
of cheap cigars from Germany and
other European markets and our
country's cigar business was a very
limited one. The fine cigar busi-
ness prior to that date did not exist
and the protection enjoyed by our
manufacturers since 1890, while
seemingly large, has been none too
great. Under it the industry of ci-
gar making in this country became
possible and has flourished and in-
creased, for instance, 51^ per cent,
in the last five years. To manufac-
ture this enormous production,
averaging about 5 000.000,000 per
year, there were employed, directly
and indirectly, 500,000 people.

Sale of Leaf Tobacco by Farmers.;
The Commissioner has instructed
a collector to investigate a news-
paper advertisement of a person
claiming to be a farmer, who pro-
posed to sell unstamped leaf tobacco
to consumers in competition with
tax- paid goods, and report whether
the advertiser changes this tobacco
from the condition in which it was
cured on the farm, and whether he
actually raised the tobacco himselt
or whether he buys or receives to-
bacco from other persons, and if it
was found that he twists, rolls, stems,
sweetens, or otherwise changes the
tobacco from the condition in which
it was cured on the farm, or if he
buys or receives the leaf from other
persons and sells this product to
consumers, he has incurred liabili-
ties as a manufacturer of tobacco,
carrying on business without pay
ing special tax and giving bond as
such, and not properly packing,
labeling and stamping his product,
as provided by the Regulations, No.
8, pages 5 to 7, inclusive, and to
the tax on all such tobacco sold for
consumption.
Payment of Claims to Receivers.
The receiver of a defunct cigar
manufacturit-g company, who ad-
vised the Commissioner that all in-
debtedness due the company was
payable to him, was informed that

claim upon the United States, or

to introduce among them that of

of the Nederlandts, with that eager

How shall I describe bundling

the people of Connecticut, he says,
may "be partly ascribed to a sing-

commonly known by the name of
bundling — a superstitious rite ob-
served by the young people of both
sexes, with which they usually
terminated their festivities; and
which was kept up with religious
strictness by the more bigoted part
of the community. This ceremony
was likewise, in those primitive
times, considered as an indispensa

in melodrama are commonly repre-

teeth. This marks the delicacy of
the histrionic muse. If she were
without delicacy and were willing
to attribute a wicked mind to a
smoker she would equip her vil-

And then we should all know her
for a cheat and an impostor. The

The "divine sex" of New Am-

than they loved their fair city, were

Segar Store Suggestions.
HINTS FOR
Perhaps no line of business
supplies a more emphatic demon-
stration of the adage that there is
"Room at the Top" than does the
retail cigar trade. And where one
will be found at the top fifty will be
discovered dragging heavily up the
hill and wondering why the summit
is so hard to reach . Competition is
increasing each year, and in very
many localities it has reached a
point where it seems absolutely im-
possible for another store to exist,
and yet they do. There are in-
creased numbers each year, some
crowding into already well filled
fields and in some instances making
a success of their venture. Taking
the matter as it r«ns, probably rela-
tively more old stores drop out of
the race than new ones.
Not a few will assert that it is
merely a matter of luck, but with-
out any question luck plays very
little part in the game. It is more a
matter of pluck, shrewd manage-
ment and seizing every available
opportunity to attract attention and
urge the purchase of goods. Per-
haps in no case does this require
absolute personal solicitation. More
frequently it is done merely by sug-
gestion . But this matter of sugges
tion is the whole kernel in the nut.
Some dealers crack it early and get
the meat. Some stumble upon
methodsof cracking it, while others
struggle along all their lives with-
out finding out how, and finally go
out of business discouraged and dis-
heartened because they have not
been successful. Bankruptcy records
tell another chapter of the story.
And yet there is no question that all
could have made a reasonable suc-
cess if they had adopted progressive
measures.
In large cities and towns the ci-
gar business depends largely upon
the transient trade, though very
naturally all shops have a few regu-
lar customers. They cannot, how-
ever, be depended upon for a living.
It is upon those who pass the door
and are attracted by something they
see about the store to purchase more
or less heavily. Location has a
considerable influence upon this
point, too. If the shop is near
some place where men are likely to
smoke, sales will be largely in-
creased. But they can be added to
anywhere.
More and more it is coming to be
understood that an attractive ex-
RBTAIIERS.
I terior must accompany an attractive
interior. The backwoods saloon
style of cigar stores, with saw dust
i on the floor and cobwebs on the
'ceiling, will not do. Everything
I must be neat and clean. There
I must not be the least unpleasant
suggestion, otherwise the new
] customer will go elsewhere next
time. Everything must be arranged
I so that only pleasant impressions
I will be made upon the mind of the
I visitor. If it isn't, the trouble will
j begin next time he passes your door.
iThat is to say, he will pass it next
; time. He will certainly not venture
I in again.
I It is remarkable how few shops
are up to this ideal. But it will be
I noted that all the really first class
I ones are. There is in them all an
lair of invitation, a request to call
again, and the spotlessness of it all
i creates such a favorable impression
: upon the stranger that he will call
again when in the vicinity.
j Many tobacconists are pushing
j private brands. That doesn 't always
I please a new customer. A good
' many have their prejudices all fixed
before they enter a shop. They
^ know what they have been smok-
I ing, and they will generally try to
get duplicates of the same brand if
possible. It is always wiser to let
a strange buyer ask for his cigar.
It he says give me a good cigar for
a certain price, then you can ofi"er
one of your private brands which
sell at that price. Otherwise it is
extremely unwise to urge upon him
j something with which he is un-
I familiar and which he may think
he doesn't want. It doesn't matter
whether he is right or wrong. It is
merely a question of so impressing
this transient that he will return
again.
Staple brands, especially the
heavily advertised ones, have a
public demand which has arisen
through acquaintance. If these
brands are wanted in Chicago they
will be wanted in New York. Do
not forget this, and offer your pos-
sible customer something which he
doesn't know when he asks for
something he does know. You are
no mind reader and you cannot
understand all his prejudices, his
likes and dislikes.
Furthermore, prominence given
to staple brands draws trade more
easily to the store. The buying
public know the brands offered, and

they are willing to pay the price.
If you offer a private brand you
offer an unknown quantity and
most buyers are foolish enough to
think they know what they want.
Give them what they ask for, and
offer them one of your private brands
to try. If they like it they will
come back for more, and if they do
not like it this method precludes
any possibility of misunderstanding.
A complimentary cigar may be un
usually poor. There is no law of
society to compel him to smoke it.
but neither is there any known
social law which would vindicate
his leaving a cigar store because he
didn't like the brand. A gift is
different from a purchase, and to
that extent you will do well to
cultivate your transient customers.
A good many dealers seem never
to think of the appearance of goods.
Did you ever notice in many show
cases how the cigars are mixed.
Some of the boxes are broken open.
Others have the labels torn and
others have the flap torn and the
bits scattered all around the case.
Some covers of the boxes partially
cover the display boxes, and there
are a whole lot of other offenses.
You can see them everywhere. And
yet, there is no use in it. A clerk
can keep his show cases looking
well just as easy as he can leave
them in this slovenly way. It
comes back to a proposition of work
and the exercise of a little care. It
might interest you to look at your
•wn case and see how far you have
transgressed in this respect.
Do not fall into the old slipshod
methods of doing dusiness. Be-
cause it was possible to conduct a
profitable business under such cir-
cumstances when your grandfather
kept a little cigar and tobacco store
is no precedent for your work. You
should be as modern and as up to
date as you can be, otherwise a
more modern competitor will take
your business away from you. This
has been done over and over again,
and it will probably be done very
many times more, but it is unneces-
sary in most instances. It may not
be the fault of the proprietor of an
established business in the others.
Nothing attracts more people
than a bulletin, and it isn't very
difficult to prepare one. A few
sheets of paper, a board that will
stand erect, and a crayon will com-
plete the vmtfit, unless one adds a
few tacks and a hammer. Now
write anything of commanding im-
portance on this bulletin and keep
it always in sight. The men who
stop to read the bulletin will remain
to purchase cigars, maybe. Pos-
sibly not the first time, but if you
keep at it you will win. Therefore,
establish a bulletin service immedi-
ately, and keep it up persistently.
A telegraph or telephone operator
will almost always give tips for ci-
gars, and the news tips are worth
more to you than cigars, because
they will surely help you sell more
goods.

The Diocletian of cigar manufac-

And, happy, too, as Diocletian
was happy in the good rural way.
But, note where the resemblance to
the Roman emperor ends: I^iocletian
raised cabbages, and Mr. Storm
grows tobacco. |
He also grows eloquent at times.
For instance, his speech against Re-
ciprocity with Cuba delivered before
the Ways and Means Committee of
the House of Representatives at
Washington, wasn't that eloquence?
Listen! Here is one of the things he
said: "Under the belief that the
protection under which this Govern- '
ment has grown great and prosper
ous in all its industries applied also
to tobacco, a number of people in-
vested millions of dollars and years !
of anxious toil in Florida and
Georgia in producing a tobacco
that would in some measure fill the
requirements of the trade here.
They have worked down there for
years and years and at last they
have discovered (if it may be so
designated) a new method of raising
tobacco which promises to yield
them some measure of return for |
their enormous outlay and great
labor. At the inception of this
thing the United States comes
along, and, in its kindness for these !
poor Cubans, proposes to throttle !
this industry at once. So far as I
represent the tobacco industry, we .
protest against that course, ' '
That was not only eloquent, it
was imperial; and it will most likely

But, of course, the most interest-

the abolition of the import stamp
has to do with the domestic clear
Havana cigars. Manufacturers say
that the import stamp has been the
best, the most potent advertisement
which cigars made in Havana could

patronage is contended for by the
largest manufacturers of New York,
Philadelphia, Tampa and Key West.
The retailers of Michigan are a
very prosperous and contented set
of tradesmen. It is said by one who
professes to be familiar with the ci-
gar business in Detroit that the re-
tailers of that city sell more cigars
and fewer cigarettes than do the re-
tailers of any other city in the
country, and after all it is in the ci-
gar that the profit to the retailer lies.
All grades of cigars are consumed
in Michigan, from cheroots up to
the finest sizes of the imported
article. A fact which speaks elo-
quently of the demand for fine cigars
in Detroit is the recent opening of
two retail stores there by the Wal-
dorf Astoria Segar Company, of
New York city. If the smokers of
Detroit were niggardly this com-
pany, which handles fine goods ex-
clusively, would not have felt en-
papers would no doubt greatly in
crease.
the action was upheld by the courts,
which decided that many such signs
were offensive, and that the ordin-

Ever since the creation of the
Board of U S. General Appraisers,
in 1890 it has been the practice of
the Board to summon members of
the leaf trade of this city to testify
before it in cases of disputed classi-
Bcation of Havana tobacco as ex
perts. Sometimes, as in the famous
Sartorius case in 1896 more than a
score of such witnesses have been
summoned and have been kept in
attendance for several days at a
stretch. Cases like that just men
tioned are fortunately rare, but it is
nevertheless a fact that cases before
the Board requiring the attendance
of members of the trade are very
frequent. Some years they have
averaged one case a week Every
subpoena contains the expressed
threat that failure to attend may
subject the oflFender to a fine of 1 100.
The expert witnesses thus sum
moned receive no fees and their
time and knowledge are appropri-
ated by the Board of General Ap
praisers just as a matter of course.
This condition has long been a
grievance and at length there is a
chance that it will be righted. Con-
gressman Wilson of the Fifth New
York district, at the instance of
Capt. M. E. Flaherty, one of the
experts who has been most fre-
quently summoned before the Board
of U. S. General Appraisers, will
present a bill in the House of Rep-
resentatives at an early date, pro-
viding that these expeits shall re-
ceive a fee of fico for each case in
which they testify. This rate of
compensation is reasonable, all
things considered.
*
The feature of the leaf market,
for the week ended February 15,
was the large quantity of Onondaga
and Big Flats binder leaf disposed
of. Of the former type one large
house is said to have disposed of
over 3,000 cases and the aggregate
of the Big Flats sold will foot up
even more.
Reports brought to New York by
packers who hare recently visited
Wisconsin arc to the effect that the
1901 crop of tobacco raised in Wis-
consin is going to turn out very
poorly. There was too much
drought in Wisconsin during the
growing season and the tobacco is
showing the effects of that condition.
Reports concerning the 190 1
Ohios are also discouraging.
Both of which statements recall a
story. Many years ago in a famous
••damaged" tobacco lawsuit in Bal-
timore one of the witnesses was a
gentleman who had been packing
cigar leaf tobacco for over forty

Slip, New York, Feb. 18, 1902.
years. la the course of his cross-
examination he was asked to tell
the difference between good tobacco
and poor tobacco He puzzled
everybody by answering: "About
six weeks." Being pressed to ex-
plain himself he said that he had
frequently known tobacco to be pro-
nounced good which six weeks be-
fore had been condemned as poor,
and vice versa. The moral of this
story is that there is always good
tobacco to be had, no matter what
the gossips may say.
The demand for Sumatra last
week was what may be called fair to
middling.
The Havana men had a satisfac-
tory week even though large trans-
actions in leaf appearto be suspended
until Congress shall have disposed
of the Cuban reciprocity matter.

alleged infringement of their copy-

containing the words "M. Stachel-

the box is turned back these words
serve to identify the brand to a pur-
chaser. M. J. Lopez & Co. also
attach a back strip to one of their
brands which contains the words
"M. J. Lopez & Co's Clear Havana

blue. It is contended by the

ment, and accordingly they have

An influx of Manila cigars
recently arrived, and arriving by
each steamer at San Francisco, is
impending. At last accounts there
were 600,000 Manila cigars in San
Francisco which have paid and will
pay no duty. According to John
Couch, Deputy Collector of Customs
at the Port of New York, these
cigars and all others arriving from
Manila until the status of the Philip-
pines is declared by Congress, are
entitled to free entry at San Fran-
cisco, or any other port, under the
decision of the U.S. Supreme Court
in the so called ' ' Fourteen Diamond
Rings Case." Philippine tobacco
and cigarettes may also come in
free. Cigars and cigarettes from
Manila will, of course, have to pay
the internal revenue duty and may
be stamped in the Custom House
of the port of entry just as is the
case with cigars from Porto Rico,
which are either stamped at the
Custom Houses or in Porto Rico.
Boxes of Porto Rican cigars are
stamped P. R., to further identify
them, and this will probably con-
tinue to be done until Porto Rico
gets its own internal revenue col-
lector or is attached to the Florida
district. How boxes of cigars com-
ing from Manila are to be identified
has not yet been made clear. A
not inappropriate device would be
a stencilled outline of Governor
General Taft's pulchritudinous
countenance.

HAVANA SEGARROS.
Attractive Goods Manufactured by
Charles Jacobs & Co., of
New York.
The attention of retail cigar
dealers is courteously directed to
the advertisement of Charles Jacobs
& Co. , of 353 and 355 East Seventy
Eighth street, New York, display
ing a picture of an open box of one
style of this well known firm's
Havana Segarros. The firm calls
these segarros a trade maker, and
many retailers throughout the
United States agree that this is a
proper designation.
Charles Jacobs & Co. insist that
of its kind this brand is the best the
market affords. They are 334:
inches long, and are positively
hand made. The style exhibited
in the advertisement is packed in
tin foil, in packages of ten, and is
effective and stylish in appearance.
The price is |i8 per i,coo.
The firm gives a special discount
on case lots.
Another style of the firm's Ha-
vana cigars sells at $20 per r,ooo.
These retail at three for a dime and
are quick sellers.
These segarros afford the retailer
the same margin of profit as a 10-
cent cigar, and a better margin than
a nickel cigar at $32. These goods
do not injure the sale of higher
grade goods. They are considered
a very fine small smoke, especially
acceptable to smokers of clear Ha-
vana cigars during those frequent
intervals of the day and evening
when there is not time to indulge
in a large cigar.
To enable retailers to stimulate
trade Charles Jacobs & Co. supply
pocket cases to be given with the
Havana Segarros. Each case holds
six segarros. A genuine black
morocco case goes with the segarros
selling three for a dime and a neat
red leather case with those which
retail 10 for 25 cents.
Charles Jacobs & Co. will be
pleased to submit samples, and they
solicit the correspondence of the
retail trade,

A somewhat moderate blizzard
set in here on Sunday night, which
had a rather disastrous effect upon
business during Monday. All
people who could possibly do so
remained at their homes, and busi-
ness was temporarily stagnated.
The bright weather of Tuesday,
however, brought a more cheerful
aspect, and conditions soon became
nearly normal. During last week
business among manufacturers and
dealers showed an improved condi-
tion, which was a source of satis-
faction to all.
T. J. Dunn & Co. are having a
very satisfactory month so far, and
some good orders have been lately
received from Henry Heymann, the
head of the house, who has been
traveling through the west, as well
as from Gurson J. Heymann, who
has been on the road. Henry Hey-
mann returns this week.
At the ofl5ce of Morris D. Neu-
mann & Co. a good business is also
reported. Mr. Neumann is still on
his western trip, and has so far
found conditions quite satisfactory.
The cheroot products of Richard
Bond & Co., of Baltimore, are gain-
ing considerable favor in this city,
according to the reports made to
the Paragrapher by one of the firm's
representatives this week. One
deal, involving 1,000,000 of one
brand, is now being consummated.
Kraus & Co., of Baltimore, are
also expanding their operations on
the "Cuban Splits," which are be- 1
ing placed with a large number of 1
the dealers here.
B. Lipschutz, the enterprising ci-
gar manufacturer at 44 North
Twelfth street, is now conducting
one of the neatest and best appointed
moderate sized establishments in
this city. His goods are made ex-
clusively in Philadelphia, and are
increasing in popular favor at a very
rapid rate.
Henry Lichtenstein, President of
the Lichtenstein, Cerruti Co., of
San Francisco, Cal., was in this
city on Saturday a-t an m com-
pany with a representative of The
Tobacco WorH, visited the wuole-
smle cigar and tobacco bouse of H.
D. Narrigan & Co., the cigar man-
ufacturing firm of Otto Eisenlohr &
Bros., and the fine retail establish-
ment of M. J. Dalton, by all of
whom he was received with much
cordiality. Mr. Lichtenstein ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased
with the enterprising spirit displayed
by Philadelphia establishments, and
states that upon his return home he

The Fidelity Trust Co., trustee
of the John Peterson estate, secured
a verdict of $281,690.50 against M.
H. Lichten, recently a manufac-
turer and dealer at 710 Chestnut
street, this city. The action came
out of the purchase by Mr. Lichten,
March 13, 1901, at auction, of the
property at the northwest corner of
Eighth and Arch streets, for I278,-
oco, upon which he paid $5,000 to
bind the bargain. Having failed
to pay the balance within the re-
quired 15 days, on August 12 deeds
were executed and the property
conveyed to him, and soon after-
wards suit was instituted by the
trust company.
In his defense Mr. Lichten claimed
that he- had received an inch less
land than he was entitled to in the
transaction, the frontage being only
39 feet, instead of 39 feet 6 inches,
as advertised.
As the property is in the centre
of the district occupied by the local
shopping trade, Mr. Lichten stated
that the price of the land there-
abouts is based on its frontage, and
that he never would have made the
oflfer of $278,000 had he known
that the one inch strip was not to
be a part of the frontage.
The plaintiff, however, claimed
that Mr. Lichten got all the land he
was entitled to, and knew perfectly
well what frontage he was buying.
The verdict comprises the balance
of the purchase price, with legal
interest from August 2, 1901.

What promised to be a more or

was somewhat injured by the snow
storm of Monday last. Inquiries,
more numerous than for some time
past, were beginning to arrive and
some good business was anticipated
for Monday. The extremely un
pleasant weather, however, pre-
vented visitors from coming here
and those who were here were in-
capacitated from doing any work.

According to the statement made
; before the Committee of Ways and
Means at Washington by Senor De
Abad, the civil engineer who made
the plea for reciprocity on behalf of
the tobacco growers and cigar man-
ufacturers of Cuba, there are in
Cuba, 15,831 tobacco plantations or
farms, of which 12,773 are less in
i size than 8 acres each; 1,890 are
I from 8 to 16 acres; 660 are from 16
to 24 acres, and only 599 are over
24 acres.
In Pinar del Rio the average size
of a tobacco plantation is 7.3 acr.s
and in Santiago r.7 acres. The
total number of acres in tobacco in I
Cuba is 81,745, of which 21,200'
acres are worked by the owners and |
60,500 by renters.
D. E. SALOMON SERIOUSLY
INJURED.
Fell Through an Elevator Shaft at
Red Lion, Pa.
D. E. Salomon, a member of the
leaf tobacco firm of W. Dittenhoefer
& Co., 229 Arch street, Philadel-
phia, was seriously injured on
Wednesday evening last, by falling
through an elevator shaft at the ci-
gar factory of John Shindler, at
Red Lion, Pa., from the second
floor to the nasement, a distance of
about twent> three feet. Mr. Salo-
mon had gone to the office of John
Shindler in the evening to make
settlement for some tobaccos sold
him. Upon entering the building
an elevator was on the floor even
with the surface. Upon going out
some employee had used the ele-
vator to a higher floor, leaving the
space open . It was rather dark and
no guards were around the elevator
shaft, and by a misstep he was
plunged to the basement. His
moans were heard by some one in
the building and a messenger was
immediately dispatched to the hotel
where he was staying. Upon his
way the messenger met Mr. Charles
W. Salomon, a brother, and in-
formed him of the occurrence, who
proceeded with all possible haste to
remove the injured man to the hotel,
and a local physician was quickly
summoned. When discovered blood
was flowing treely from his ears and
nostrils, and serious injuries were
at once apprehended. Dr. J. N.
Hyson made an examination and
stated that no bones had been
broken, but internal injuries were
feared. C. W. Salomon immedi-
ately informed Mr. Dittenhoefer of
the occurrence and he, accompanied
by Dr. Liudaur of Philadelphia,
proceeded to Red Lion early on
Thursday morning, and removed
the injured man to his home in
Philadelphia, where amorethorough
examination was made. It was
again revealed that no bones were
broken, and it was hoped his in-
juries were less serious than was at
first supposed.
Pneumonia, however, developed
on Friday last, and at this writing
he is said to be in a critical state.
Dr. Lindaur has given out the state-
ment that unless some complication
yet arises there is hope of his ulti-
mate recovery. It is feared that an
abscess may form, in which case
blood poisoning would undon tt-dly
follow, and that in any event would
mean certain defi^h.
The offices of W. Dittenhoefer &
Co. have been thronged during the
early mornings toi sevtral days past
by numerous friends of the wounded
man to make inquiries about his
present condition.

BADGER STATE NOTES.
The high prices demanded by
Wisconsin tobacco growers for their
crops has driven several dealers
into other cigar leaf states for opera-
tions in last season's crop. They
say they are buying better tobacco
for less money even in New Eng
land, whose tobacco generally
brings double the price paid for
Wisconsin leaf. The firm of Con-
way Bros. & Co. have now ten car-
loads of bundU tobacco in transit,
which was purcha»ed in the Con-
necticut valley at less figures than
they could obtain picked crops of
Wisconsin leaf. This tobacco will
be assorted and packed in Edg<»rton
and handled with the same care
that is usually adopted in the East.
Bayers, however, are displaying
more activity in the local field.
A large transaction in old leaf
has taken place during the week,
in which Echhart & Co. sold 800
cases of Vernon county 1900 leaf

The first crop of tobacco he ever
raised he sold to Jacob Friedman,
the pioneer leaf dealer of Chicago,
in 1859. Last week he sold a lot of

Friedman. There is a lapse of nearly
half a century between the deals of
sire and son.

HAVANA, CUBA.
It has been learned from reliable
sources that the prices paid by the

by them, was about |i, 500, 000.

MILWAUKEE.
The statement made recently that
many manufacturers in the West
were fairly busy, seems to be some-

be readily made to the fact that
some good sized orders have been
secured here by leaf men, mostly
eastern representatives.

of Dayton, O., has also been here.

Business is in a satisfactory shape
here, and all traveling men are
having good business. Money is
easy and collections are reported to
be good. The local cigar trade is
perhaps not having the same

a few manufacturers are complain-

A Toxic Connbinatlon.
According to the London Lancet,
it cannot be doubted that when evil
efi"ects ensue from smoking tobacco
they are very much intensified by
indulgence in alcohol. Pyridine,
the chief poisonous constituent of
tobacco smoke, is not so easily
soluble in water as in alcohol. Py
ridine bases can be easily traced in
themouthofan immoderatesmoker, 1
and especially the smoker of cigars
An alcoholic drink is therefore cal I
culated quickly to wash out this
poisonous oil and to carry it into
the stomach, absorption of the
poison ensuing, giving rise to defi
nite toxic symptoms, due not so
much to alcohol or pyridine basts
alone as to the combined action of
both in the manner indicated. Many
a headache or malaise would be
guarded against if at the time of
smoking no alcoholic beverage were
taken.

THE TOBACCO WORLD
PELOPLE, 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 anv
other business in this re-
spect— the man with the
best facilities and the most
modern tools gets more
business and makes more
monev, and vou can't
stop him.
TaketheDuBrul 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 plrce 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
Jtms.
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 :niy 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-
ligh'ed 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 wriiing
us about it and we will
give you a Ine of facls
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 bo h kinds in either of our
offices.

plete information.

HOW IT IS IN YORK.
York, Pa., Feb. 17, 1902.
A creditable showing and en-
couraging disposition toward a
better trade opening for the present
year is evidenced by the fact that
the larger factories to a great extent
report more sales for the month of
January, 1902, than for the same
month of the previous year. This
•eems to be the prevailing fact al-
though there are exceptions.
D. E. Salomon, familiarly known
as "Dick," met with a misfortune
while in Red Lion visiting the cigar
factory of John Shindler on Wed
nesday evening last, by falling a
distance of 22 feet to the cellar,
through an open elevator shaft, re
ceiving severe bruises and internal
injuries. He escaped, however,
without any broken bones. The
local physician gave medical atten-
tion until the arrival of Mr. Salo-
mon's physician from Philadelphia,
when he was removed to his home
in that city. "Dick" is a member
of the firm of W. Dittenhoefer &
Co., lately organized in Phila
delphia.
The sheriflf has levied on the per-
sonal property of Jos. L Trurabo,
a cigar manufacturer of this city.
Theexecution was issued by Samuel
Gallatin, for $.00 and the sale will
take place on Feb. 20th, at 9 a. m
Edward Neiman, the flourishing
cigar manufacturer of Thomasville,
reports a good run on his well known
brand, "Earl of Bath," a 5c pro-
duction. This is a good cigar placed
on the market some time ago, and
has now a well-established reputa
tion.
H. F. Kohler, of Nashville, is
about to put upon the market a new
brand of goods under the title of
"R R Perfection" (label showing a
portrait of Geo. Stephenson), which
is to be made a valuable addition to
his already large line of goods. Mr.
K is now comfortably housed in
his new building, which is one of
the most complete in this section of
the country, and a steadily increas-
ing business is being done.
J W. Minnich, of Dallastown, is
making some alterations to his cigar
factory, and among other things is
equipping a fine office on the first
floor, the entire second floor being
needed for manufacturing purposes.
Manager I. B. Hostetter, of the
Sutter Bros, warehouse, has been
receiving considerable tobacco late-
ly. Friday last was one of the
largest days this year in that respect .
The Eagle Cigar Co., of this city,
has recently been more active than
for some time past, and is doing a
fair trade
La Buta Cigar Co. reports a fairly
good business on the "Hannibal
Hamlin," their loc leader, which
has been a standard for many years.

Western Tobacco Reports.
MIAMISBURG, OHIO.
Very little business was transacted
during the past week. Only occa-
sional small deliveries of the 1900
crop Zimmer are noted at 7}4 and
8c through, and if any late sales of
the 1 90 r crop have been effected they
were not reported.
Farmers who have comfortable
strip rooms are making some pro
gress at preparing the crop for mar
ket. The majority of growers drop
the dirty and trashy leaves while
stripping, and assort the crop
properly, while others are somewhat
careless in this respect. It will be
money in the farmer's pocket to keep
the filler free from dirt and trash
The slovenly practice of tossing the
hands into a loose heap until ready
for bulking should be discouraged ;
it is no more trouble to lay them
them straight in a neat pile, and
thus prevent drying out until they
are bulked. — News.
CLARKSVILLE, TENN.
M. H. Clark & Bro.
Our receipts of new tobacco this week
were 5/0 hhds.; ofFerinRS on the breaks
25 hhds.; public and private sales 14 hhds.
The market was quiet and dull.
The Leaf offerings is mainly of
coarse styles, but fleshy with fair
body, and does not misrepresent the
true Clarksville type. The Lugs
also are generally coarse and poor.
The weather has been cold in the
main, yet receipts at the prizing
houses for a few days were quite
full. The loose tobacco maket is
quiet, the bulk of the loose crops
having changed hands.
For old tobacco, to quote.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY.
M, D. Boales.
There were only 15 hhds offered
on the breaks this week— 5 sold and
10 rejected. Quality Common. Lugs
sold 4 to 5c; Leaf, 5j4 to 6>4c.
Receipts for the week, 330 hhds;
year, 980 hhds. Sales for the week,
5 hhds; year. 59 hhds. Some pri-
vate sales of old Lugs at 5 i4:c, not
reported in sales. The old Lugs
held at 4^ to 5^c, and Leaf at 5}4
to 7>^c are generally in good con-
dition, well seasoned and cheap.
The new crop is lugging very light.
With the small stocks of old Lugs
on sale, it looks as if prices would
be much higher, and the quality
of Leaf so much better than for
several years. Prices will likely be
higher. Estimated 90 per cent, of
crop has been sold loose at 6 to 8c
crop round. There will be on early
sales quite a good deal of Leaf in
soft order, which will likely sell
below real value.

A VALENTINE
To The President of the United
States.
Being a Plea Against Tariff Concessions
to Cuba on Tobacco and Cigars.
"The saying that a man is the
architect of his own fortune, and
that, generally speaking, the indi-
vidual trader possesses within him
self the elements of success or failure
"Avtrse may find him whoa sermon flies." in the business world, has been very
effectively demonstrated in preced-
Mr. President:
Since friend and foe alike agree
That Cuba's case now rests with you
In summing up be sure to see
That what you learn is wholly true:
Forget not if you change the laws,
Columbia also has a cause!
Much has been said both pro and con,
>; Much more, I doubt not, might be said,
But why with prosy briefs go on
And spin a never-ending thread?
All roads they tell us lead to Rome,
And charity begins at Home.
Let Sugar men for Sugar speak :
Tobacco and Cigars, we claim;
Another plane will have to seek
If Schemers are allowed to frame
A measure to reduce the list
Of duties as they now exist.
All Tariff experts are agreed
A Luxury best bears a tax;
Then, wherefore on the well-used weed
Should our Protectors wield the axe?
If all our pleadings end in smoke
The joke will be a sorry joke!
Behind the cry for Cuban aid
If you can sift the matter well
You'll find the Private Trusts array'd
No matter how their names they spell;
And yours should be an easy task
From such pretense to strip the mask.
A lower price for Cuban goods
Will bring them into more demand.
And such result of course includes
A blow to our Tobacco land;
For Home-made goods diminished sales.
And all attendant ills and ails.
What boots it if it costs us less
To make a high-grade brand to puff
If we can meet with no success.
Competing with impotted stuff?
The double stamp of Uncle Sam
Can bolster up the meanest sham!
Were Cuban farmers taught to toil
As well as our own farmers do,
With Cuba's climate, Cuba's soil,
And her unquestioned prestige too,
The Cuban profits drawn from all
Would make our best look very small.
We are a million workers strong.
And millions more depend on us
And all unite in deeming wrong
This present sentimental fuss —
A people's sins to syndicate
And call on us to pay the freight!
A Tariff change will hurt us much,
And from a fair unbias'd view
Its final consequence is such
It can but help a favored few:
Be not misled by Scheming Greed
That cloaks its hand with "Cuba's need."
But we believe your troubled heart
Is patriotic to the core;
And, feeling you should do your part,
As vou have always done before,
We wish to see you be a friend,
To stand by US until — the end!
I have the honor to be, Mr. President,
▼our obedient servant,
James D. Law.

Why Failures Occur.
Interesting Data on the Interest-
ing Subject.
The following interesting data on
the subject of failures throughout
the country was furnished a repre
tentative of the Chattanooga Times
by Manager Close, of Bradstreet's
agency:
ing discussions of this subject,
wherein the leading causes of busi
ness embarrassment have been ana-
lyzed. For the benefit of those
who have not followed this matter
closely, however, it might be stated
that experience over a period of
years has shown that the causes of
commercial embarrassment may be
quite generally classed under the
following eleven heads, close study
of which is invited in order that the
reader may become familiar with
their application to the matter in i
hand:
"A. — Due to faults of those fail-
ing:
"(i) Incompetence (irrespective
of other causes). i
"(2) Inexperience (without other
incompetence).
"(3) Lack of capital.
"("4) Unwise granting of credits.
"(5) Speculation (outside regular
business).
"(6) Neglect of business (due to
doubtful habits).
"(7) Personal extravagance.
"(8) Fraudulent disposition of
property.
"B. — Not due to faults of those
failing.
• ' (9) Specific conditions (disaster,
etc.).
"(10) Failure of others (of appar-
ently solvent debtors). !
"(11) Special or undue competi-
tion.
"Eight of these eleven causes, it
will be observed, may properly be
classed as proceeding from, or at-
tributable to, the trader himself,
while the remaining three may just
as clearly be said to be beyond his
control. Of the failures reported in
the United States during the past
year 71.4 per cent, were reported
due to one or more of the first eight
mentioned causes — in other words,
more than seven tenths were due to
faults of those failing, while 28 6
percent were due to faults of others.
This, it is to be noted, is rather a
different showing from that made in
1900, when fully 77.4 per cent, was
due to faults of the traders them-
selves and 22 6 per cent, was due to
the faults of others. The closest ap-
proach to this showing made of
recent years is found to be that of
1898, when 70 per cent, was due to
faults or weaknesses of the traders
themselves and 30 per cent, to
others."

RDRAGE CAPACITY ID.OQO
Labor In the United States.
The final report of the Industrial
Commission makes the following
remarks upon the general subject
of "Labor," in the course of vol-
uminous chapters in which all
branches of the subject are gone
into in great detail:
"The remarkable rerolution in
business methods and conditions of
the past few years, showing itself
in industrial combinations and the
so called community of interests,
hat been accompanied by an almost
equally remarkable consolidation
of labor interests through the
growth and strengthening of labor
organizations and the increase in
labor legislation. Whatever may
be the ultimate outcome of this
growth of organization on both
sides, its first tendency has been to
bring about a more definite separa-
tion of the two, and in many cases
a distinct confronting of one by the
other, each relying partly upon the
strength of its organization and
partly upon legislation and the
courts.
"The census of 1890 estimated
the value of manufactured products
for the entire United States at I9,-
372,000,000, and the aggregate
wages in the same industries at %2,-
283,000,000, according to which it
would appear that labor received
24 36 per cent, of the joint product.
But this inference is manifestly
wrong, since the cost of material
used in manufactures was more than
half the value of the product, viz.,
$5,162,000,000, or 55 08 per cent.
Miscellaneous expenses also were
6.73 per cent, of the total product.
The proper method of inquiry into
the proportion of the product going
to labor is that which separates out
the cost of material and endeavors
to discover what proportion of the
net product is assigned to labor.
If this is done it appears that in
1890 the net product of all manu
facturing industries was $4,211,-
000,000. and of this net product the
total wages paid would be 54 per
cent, instead of 24 per cent. The
above figure for wages» however,
includes salaried employees, officers,
superintendents, firm members and
clerks. The payment to wage
earners, properly speaking (but in-
cluding some overseers and fore-
men on salary), was$i,89i,228,32i,
or 44 9 per cent, of the value of the
net product of manufacturing in-
dustry.
"The net product of manufactur-
ing industry in the United States
by the census of 1900 was $5,669,-
335.584; while the wages paid (not
including any salaried ofiicers) were
$2,323,407,257, or 41 per cent, of
the net product. There has been a
decrease in the proportion of the ^k
total product going to wage earners; "
while, as shown elsewhere the abso-
lute amount going to the wage-
working class has slightly decreased
per capita during the decade.
Wages in 1899, the year actually
covered by the census figures, had
not reached a point as high as in
1900 and 1 90 1. In a period of ris-
ing prosperity wages ordinarily ad-
vanced less rapidly than prices and
profit.
"The Department of Labor has
endeavored to compile figures show-
ing the losses of employers and em-
ployees as a result of strikes and
lockouts. According to these statis-
tics the aggregate loss to employees
in wages, as the result of labor dis-
putes from 1881 to 1900, inclusive,
was $306,683,223, or a little over
$15,000,000 yearly. The loss to
employers during the same period
is stated at $142,659,104, or rather
less than one-half of the amount lost
by strikers. The aggregate losses
thus amount to nearly $450,000,000,.
or an average ©f about $22,500,000
yearly.
Eastern Tobacco Reports.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
There is, perhaps, a little less
selling for the past week than for
t'ae preceding week. One reason
for this is that the foolish scare has,
in a measure passed over, and many
a grower wishes some one to kick
him. These weak kneed growers
should have guardians appointed to
manage the selling. Possibly we
may be mistaken; time will deter-
mine. At any rate, better prices
are being paid, and offers of higher
prices refused.
Our correspondents write :
Suffield, Ct. : "What a change
has come over the dream of the to-
bacco growers! Crops that were
sold at 20 to a4 cents in the field
are left on the growers' hands, un-
less he will take from 40 to 60 per
cent, reduction. If the growers
would demand a deposit of $100 an
acre at time of sale, there would be
less trouble. But the growers that
are cut the worst will receive with
open arms the same buyers the
coming year. There have been a
few sales within a day or two, «rops
that were not sold last fall, the
prices ranging from 14 to 18 cents.

things are going: A six acre crop
was bargained for at 22 cents. The
grower threw out a large portion of
the pole sweat when stripping; in
the readjustment he gets 15 cents
and throws off 400 pounds to the
ton. Of all foolish things, com-
mend me to a weak kneed tobacco
grower."
Wethersfield, Ct.: "Most of the
tobacco has been taken down and
stripped. It is a very fine and light-
colored crop and not much pole
sweat. But little of our crop was
cut until the last week in August.
No sales to report."
Williamsburg, Mass : "The to
bacco grown here shows but slight
damage by pole burn. A few crops
have been sold; can only give prices
of one. Dorus Bradford sold at 12
cents in the bundle."
South Daerfield: "Buyers are
rapidly picking up the new crop at
from 7 to 14 cents in the bundle.
Offers of 12 cents now have been
refused. One large buyer secured
150 acres, and has come again for
more. Crops are sorting out well,
and when bought on the grades |
after sorting, the growers find it
pays well to sort it." I
East Deerfield: "Trade in tobacco
has opened at a very low figure, say
from Syi to 10 cents, or a shade j
above per pound. No stir until 1
quite recently."
Conway: "Charles Elmer sold to!
Wilcox 2 acres of tobacco in the
bundle at 12 cents. Assorting is
progressing finely, and turning out
better than was expected. About
half of the crop raised here is not
sold yet."
Glastonbury, Ct.: "I have to re-
port the sale of 20 acres of Havana
seed at 14 cents in the bundle. It
was slightly damaged by pole-
sweat. Some other lots sold at p. t. "
Deerfield: "There have been sev-
eral sales of tobacco here the last
week, but at no prices above 12
cents. These sales were in the west
part of the town; a few, however,
in the east part at low prices. Many
lots are held for higher prices, or
they will be sent away, sorted, and
force sweated."
Whately: "Several sales have
been made at moderate prices. W.
P. Crafts sold his nice crop; price
not learned. Many large lots are
being assorted, and will be force
sweat."
Amherst: "A few sales of tobacco
have been made, but at low rates.
The later view is that the bulk of
our growers will not sell their crops,
but will have them assorted unless
reasonable prices are paid. Some
crops are being sorted now." —

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
Owing to the storm and the im
passable condition of the roads for
several days, the local buyers have
made no purchases. Notwithstand
ing the bad roads a considerable
amount of tobacco has been delivered
at the warehouses, some of which,
however, has been shipped in by
rail. The assorting continues at
the warehouse of the American
Cigar Co. and the usual amount
handled has been put up during the
last week. A Heinke, the local
representative of Chas R Goldsmith
& Co., has commenced receiving
the new crops purchased and has
started the assorting room at the
warehouse east of the D. L & W.
R. R. tracks. About thirty as-
sorters are at present employed and
some fine tobacco is being handled.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Sample Cigars by Mail or Express.
The Commissioner has ruled that
there is no provision of law or regu-
lation under which a manufacturer
or a dealer in cigars would be priv-
ileged to take cigars from a stamped
box and repack less than a statutory
number in boxes not stamped, and
send out these saroplecigars through
the mail, or by express, as samples
and as a means of introducing the
cigars to the trade. All such cigars
found in the mail, whether of do-
mestic or foreign manufacture, are
subject to forfeiture under section
3398, Revised Statutes.
Special Tax Liability of Leaf Dealers.
In regard to the special tax liabil-
ity of leaf tobacco dealers operating
warehouses at more than one place,
the Commissioner has ruled that if
leaf tobacco is purchased and re-
ceived at these several warehouses
directly from farmers who raise the
tobacco, and no tobacco is received
or purchased from other leaf dealers,
and none shipped from these ware-
houses to other leaf dealers for sale
on commission, Book 59 could be
kept at the principal oflfice from
which all purchases and sales were
directed, otherwise the firm must
make return and pay special tax at
each warehouse.

Guaranteed to be the Strongest, Cheapest, and Best
Packing of Smoking Tobacco by a Cigar
Manofacturcr.
A cigar manufacturer who, on ac
count of lack of room, desired per-
mission to pack and stamp his cut
tings and scraps as smoking tobacco
on his cigar factory premises, was
advised that the business of a man-
ufacturer of tobacco could not be
carried on in the bonded premises
used for manufacturing cigars, and
attention was called to the Regula-
tions, No. 8, page 66, and to sec-
tions 3369 and 3395, R. S., which
provide that collectors shall sell
stamps only to manufacturers of to-
bacco and cigars, in their respective
districts, who have given bond as
required by law, and to owners and
consignees of imported tobacco or
snuflF, and that a manufacturer of
cigars who desires to sell his scrap
tobacco for smoking purposes must
qualify as a manufacturer of tobacco
and carry on that business in some
room or other premises not described
in his Form 36^ and bond given as
a cigar manufacturer.
Imported Smoking Tobacco.
In regard to the disposition of cer-
tain smoking tobacco imported in
improper sized packages, the Com
missioner has ruled that th« im-
porter could repack the same in
statutory quantities, the packages
containing i, i^, 2, 2>^, 3, 3>^, 4,
8 or 16 ounces of tobacco each, the

stamps to be aflSxed before the to-
bacco is released by the customs
service: or that he might sell the
importer one ounce stamps, which
could be affixed to small packages
which weighed a fraction less than
one ounce net; but that the foreign
manufacturer putting up tobacco for
sale in the United States should be
advised by the importer to adopt
statutory packages, as the office has
not made a general rule which would
authorize either domestic or im-
ported tobacco to be put up in pack-
ages containing a less or greater
quantity of tobacco than denoted by
the stamp affixed to the package,
and that such special orders are
made only when the importer would
incur a loss if required to repack his
tobacco.
Sales of Leaf Tobacco to Consumers.
In a recent case referred to the
Commissioner from a Southwestern
State, it appeared that a dealer in
tobacco, who was also a manufac-
turer, purchased raw or unmanufac-
tured leaf tobacco and put the same
up without change, or manufacture
of any description, in wooden pack-
ages containing lo, 20, 40 and 60
pounds, which he would properly
label and stamp, and that subse-
quently he would remove this to
bacco to his store and take it from
the stamped packages and repack it
in small quantities for retail. It
was advised in this case that where
raw or unmanufactured leaf was put
up for sale at retail by a manufac-
turer of tobacco, who had not him-
self raised the tobacco, he could,
under the Regulations, No 8, pages
5 to 7, inclusive, use boxes or other
packages containing 10, 20, 40 or
60 pounds, which must be properly
labeled and stamped ; but that there
after no tobacco could be sold, or
offered for sale, at retail to con
sumers unless the same was taken
directly from the original stamped
package; and that if any leaf to-
bacco was found on sale for retail
not protected by a stamp affixed to
the original package in which it was
placed it would be subject to for-
feiture.
Cigarette Maanfactvrers' Aaosats.
A collector has becL advised that
the accounts of manufacturers who
make cigarettes of more than one
class, as stated on Form 144, should
show the number of each class re
moved from the factory properly
stamped. The number of cigarettes
stamped, tax-paid at the rate of
%\ 08 per thousand, should be stated
separately from cigarettes stamped,
tax- paid at the rate of 54 cents per
thousand. The total number of
unstamped cigarettes on hand July
1 , 1901 , and weighing not more than
three pounds per thousand, should
be entered in column i of the ac-
count relating to cigarettes, tax-
paid at the rate of $1 08 per thou
sand, without reference to their
value. The total number of cigar-
ettes made subsequently, less the
number stamped at the rate of 54
cents per thousand, should be
entered in column 2 of that account.
The number of cigarettes sold and
removed from the factory, tax-paid
at the rate of $1 08 per thousand,
should be entered in column 3, and
all unstamped cigarettes on hand
January i, 1902, and weighing not
more than three pounds per thou-
sand, should be entered in column 4
The fact that a number of these
unstamped cigarettes may be sold
subsequently at %2 or less per thou-
sand, tax paid at 54 cents per thou-
sand, will make no change in the
settlement of the previous accounts.
The accounts relating to cigar-
ettes, tax paid at the lowest rate,
54 cents per thousand will be squared
first, the number made and subse
quently sold to be entered in column
2 to correspond with the number
stamped and reported in column 3.
Theentirematerialaccount should
be stated in columns i to 10, inclu
sive, relating to cigarettes, tax paid
at the rate of $1.08 per thousand,
deducting from columns 9 aud 10
the quantity of tobacco used in
making cigarettes, tax-paid at the
rate of 54 cents per thousand, al-
lowing five pounds of unstemmed
or three pounds of stemmed leaf
used in manufacturing one thousand
cigarettes.

that the world owes the cultivation
of Sumatra to the vanity of a Malay
woman, an inmate of the bungalow
of the chieftain from whom Mr. J.
Nienhuys, in 1863, obtained the
first concession for growing tobacco
on the East coast of Sumatra ever
granted to an European. 1
It's a rather pretty lie. It goes'
on to tell how Mr. Nienhuys, com-
ing to Sumatra from Java, where
tobacco had long been a staple pro-
duct of the soil, applied to the
Malay Panglima of what is now the
Sultanate of Deli, for a concession
of land upon which to try the ex-
perimental culture of tobacco in his
dominions, and how the Panglima
would have nothing to do with it, :
even though Mr. Nienhuys tried
him with every inducement he
could think of. At this point the
lie introducesa subsidiary character,
the Arab trader who had accom-
panied Mr. Nienhuys to Sumatra
from Jara, and narrates how this
Arab, one Ali Wad Fadlalla, pro-
cured the concession, a vast one
and running for ninety-nine years,
by flashing a little mirror, or rather
a mean little kitchen looking glass,
before the eyes of the Panglima 's
bride, who, being wild to possets

never seen such a thing; she had
never, in fact, gazed at the reflec-
tion of her own face save as Hya-
cinthusofold gazed upon his — in
a brook or pond, and she was en-
raptured. The scheming Ali Wad
was all the while urging the little
fool to run away with him. He
pictured the delights of a roaming
life. She [shook her gingerbread
head. Sumatra and home and home
cooking were good enough for her
she declared. He showed her a
handful of gold; she retorted that
the husband she had just married
was rich. He sang her an Arab
love song, but she, not understand-
ing the words, only looked at him
stupidly. These means all failing,
the Arab rogue told her he had
in Java a house that was all mirrors,
and that if she would but fly with
him she should be the mistress of
that glittering establishment. That
won her. She slipped away to the
beach with Ali Wad, and when the
Panglima, his business with Mr.
Nienhuys being concluded, looked
about for her, she was nowhere to

Americanizing Cuba.
Providence is proceeding with the
Americanization of Cuba in its own
logical and kindly fashion by in-
stilling into the mind of youthful
Cuba a desire to emulate American
boys in skill at the great game of
base ball. On last Saturday's
steamer from New York a complete
outfit for two base ball nines was
shipped to some boys who work on
the old Mauuel Valle plantation,
now owned by Senor Casimiro
Heres This is believed to be the
first genuine set of balls and bats
ever sent to Cuba. A set of catchers'
gloves and masks, base mats, and
other accessories will probably be
sent to the same set of boys very
soon. The gift, it is not improper
to say here, is a complete surprise
to the boys who are to recieve it.
It was prompted in the heart of the
giver by seeing the boys on Senor
Heres' plantation had, by some
means unknown to him, acquired a
fondness and an instinctive rudi-
mentary knowledge of the great
American game and were playing
it in their leisure hours, with bats
and balls of their own making.
Those who have seen the boys at
this pastime say that they promise
to develope into very good base ball
players.
Before five years therefore, and
indeed very much sooner, it will be
reasonable to expect that base ball
will be as favorite a game in Cuba
as it is in the United States, and
the next generation of Cubans will
be as robust and strenuous as the
past generation have been feeble and
languid.
To give base balls and bats to
Cuban boys is a much more sensi-
ble thing to do than to speechify
about the alleged starvation on the
tobacco and sugar plantations of
the island. A good base ball player
is apt to grow into a more useful
citizen than a prize debater, and
what the Latin races need after all
is less rhetoric and a more sinewy
manhood.
Tobacco buyers in the habit of
visiting Cuba regularly, have re-
turned recently with fuller and more
detailed accounts of improvements
in conditions sanitary, social, and
commercial in Havana, and all
these improvements are directly
traceable to American occupation.
No man, even on a first visit to
Havana, need now fear yellow
fever, nor need his sensibilities
dread any shock from sights and
language all too painfully frequent
under the ancient Spanish regime,
and, finally, the tax gatherer is no
longer a blackmailer, as he used to
be, but a self respecting officer pro-
ceeding under laws which are as
open to the tax payer as to himself.
Truly, the old order is passing
in Cuba and the fairer day which
began with the evacuation of Ha-
vana by the Spaniards, is brighten-
ing every nook and corner of the
people's character. Hooray !
An American's Views.
In commenting upon the distress-
ing condition of the people of Cuba,
W. C. Schulz, of the F. R. Rice
Mercantile Cigar Co., of St. Louis,
Mo., who has just returned from a
trip to the island to purchase to-
bacco for his house, says:
"The obstacle to Cuba's renewed
prosperity is the want of about
$150,000,000 which the Spaniards
took away from circulation when
the Spanish government was forced
to retire from the island. All that
money, we can see, is very much
missed here, as no money comes to
replace it from any quarter.
"Our impression is that if we
want the island of Cuba to come up
again to its former standard we
must reduce our duties to the pro-
ducers of the island at least 50 per
cent, and the time may soon come
when we shall have to make an
extra reduction if we are to keep the
island rich and prosperous."
Mr. Schulz says the tobacco crop
this year is very light, owing to the
unsettled condition of the people
and the general disinclination to
labor. The Cubans, he says, work
only when they must and the negroes
not at all.
The St. Louisan made a tour of
the Havana tobacco country, or the
Partidos district, and also of the
tobacco growing territory in the
province of Pinar del Rio. The
money being withdrawn from the
country, there is not enough capital
to permit the growers to raise large
crops. Consequently, he says, prices
will be high for fine Cuban tobacco.
Mr. Schulz says that life is not
safe in the interior of those parts of
Cuba, bandits lying in wait to rob
or kidnap the traveler. The several
years of war and reconstruction
seem to have left the island in a de-
plorable state, though at Havana
and other points Mr. Schuli noticed
great improvment under the Ameri-
can regime.
The States from the Cigar Man's Point of View.
Once a Kansan, always a Kansan.
Here's James H. Canfield, for in
stance, formerly Professor of History
in the State University of Kansas,
and now Librarian of Columbia
University, just as proud of Kansas
as if he still lived there. Hear him
chortle: "No State in the Union—
outside the original thirteen — has
kept a closer hold upon the attention
of the country at large. Kansas has
never been dull: it has always held
the centre of the stage — it has al
ways been at the focus just in time
to be thrown up large on the can
vas."
All that Professor Canfield says
of Kansas in the article from which
the foregoing excerpts have been
thrown up on the present canvas
cannot be quoted here, nor from the
cigar man's point of view may the
State of which he is so proud be
held to be altogether admirable.
And yet there is no denying that
Kansas is a good cigar state. Not
so good, though, as her neighbor
Colorado, and not so good as Ala-
bama. You see, the trouble with
Kansas has been that she has been
too much in earnest during all her
formative years to take the right
position toward that kindly agent of
civilization and of steadily paced
progress, the cigar.
Her ideals have perhaps been
stern. Certainly they have not been
such as to foster the consumption
of cigars. Else why did Rothen-
burg & Schloss desert Kansas to
move into Missouri? The story has
xxri.
KANSAS.
bent upon appropriating the centre
of the stage; there are at all times
so many folks, some of them really
good, more of them but indifferently
good, and some of them wholly bad,
who are bent upon making a focus
of themselves that the cigar doesn't
get a decent chance to show what it
can do to make digestion easier and
the mind saner and more tolerant of
incongruous things. Which last
observation is equivalent to saying
that in the average Kansan the sense
of humor is usually lacking to a re-
markable degree.
The last eensus has it that there
are in Kansas 169 establishments
devoted to the manufacture of cigars
and cigarettes, and that the total
value of their product is $789,780.
According to the census of 1890
there were in Kansas no such es-
tablishments, and the value of their
total product was $534,117. An
advance, truly, but not a startling
one.
Manufacturers and workmen
of the tobacco trade throughout
Sweden have petitioned the govern-
ment to increase the import duties
on manufactured tobacco. They
allege that foreign tobaccoespeciallj
American product has brought their
industry face to face with ruin, and
that large numbers of work people
are idle.
Certain members of parliament
are preparing a counter proposal
advocating the conversion of the
tobacco business into a state mono-
poly and it is thought likely that
their scheme will succeed.

A retail tobacconist of this city,
who has just sold his three prosper
ous Broadway stores to one of the
chain of stores syndicates, was in-
duced the other day to tell the
secret of his success in business.
"Most people who tell such a
story as I am going to tell," he
said, 'begin by saying that the
secret of success is simple. 'Every-
thing is easy when you know how,'
is the way the old saw goes. But
my case is diflFerent. When I
cegfsed to be a traveling cigar sales
man and opened the first of my
retail stores I found I was 'up
against it, for fair.' I knew all
about cigars, of course I knew good
ones from bad ones. I knew where
to get good ones and I knew how to
sell them, and yet I saw failure
staring me in the face. I dressed
my show windows with care and I
knew they were attractive for I
could see plenty of people stopping
before them to gaze at their contents
My walls were covered with the
handsomest and newest show cards
obtainable anywhere. My show
j cases were stocked with excellent
goods all attractively displayed and,
finally, I myself was behind the
counter ready to serve whomsoever
should come in to buy. And yet
there I stood day after day slowly
eating up my capital and figuring
out how long it would be before I
was asking my old employers to
take me back again at a lower salary
than I had ever before worked for.
And yet if you think I didn't sell a
fair number of cigars and an average
quantity of cigarettes and smoking
and chewing tobaccos, you would
be in error. I sold plenty of all of
these things but there was no money
in them to justify a store on Broad
way. By and by I tumbled. I
realized that I was doing business
in New York where everybody loves
to spend money not for what he
really wants or needs, but for what
he thinks he wants. People buy
cigars, cigarettes and smoking and
chewing tobaccos because they need
them, but they buy smokers' acces
scries simply to get rid of their
money and there is more profit in
luxuries than in necessities, of
courst. So I went down town and
bought a stock of smokers' acces
sories, just such things as I thought
a money spending crowd would
buy. Some of them were fierce.
But they saved me from bankruptcy.
They did more, they made me pros-
perous. I didn't buy cheap things,
you may be sure, but the hand-
somest I could find. Some of them
were artistic, but of what possible
use they could be to those who
OF The Tobacco World,
Slip, New York, Feb. 25, 1902.
bought them excepting as adorn-
ments for a wall or a table I'm sure
I could never guess. I have been
selling these things for ten years
now and more and more people buy
them.
"This is my advice to every retail
tobacconist: Keep a good stock of
cigars, cigarettes and smoking and
chewing tobaccos, but let that end
of your business take care of itself.
Devote most of your attention to
building up a trade in pipes, in cigar
and cigarette holders and most
especially in what are known as
smokers' accessories. These things
in which there is always a large
profit have a strange attractiveness
for the average frequenter of the
cigar store and sooner or later he
will succumb to it and load himself
up with them to his gratification and
to your profit."
Asked what were his average
daily intakings at one of his stores
the gentleman who is being quoted
said $100. He added that the gross
profit from this volume of sales was
about 25 per cent.

The bliz knocked biz in the New
York leaf market last week From
Monday when 10 inches of snow fell,
until Friday afternoon when the
storm got in its heaviest work, there
were but few shoppers. It was a
very depressing week. A general
subject of conversation was the dis-
position of the Cuban reciprocity
matter by Congress. Advices re-
ceived from Washington on Wed-
nesday had it that seven members
of the House Committee on Ways
and Means were against granting
any concessions on tobacco and ci-
gars to the Cubans. Later, after
several members of the Committee
j had called on President Roosevelt
and heard his views, which are be-
li.'ved to be in favor of the Cubans,
it was given put that Congress
I would reduce the duty at least 25
per cent. Down in Havana it is
believed that the reduction will
amount to 33^3 per ct. On Wed-
nesday evening the big meeting in
favor of Cuban reciprocity was held
at Carnegie Hall. The meeting,
not to put too fine a point on it,
was a fizzle, notwithstanding that
the speakers were such eloquent
men as Burke Cochran. Edward M.
Shepard, Edward Lauterbach, and
others. They talked generalities.
Mr. Lauterbach, who has a number
of Havana importers among his
clients, appeared to understand the
tobacco question as little as the
others. The whole discussion was
academic and, therefore, not worth

listening to. They handle it much
better in Water street, because they
understand thequestion better there.
But to return to the market: not-
withstanding the reciprocity busi-
ness the Havana men did a satisfac-
tory business, considering the
weather. People bought in larger
quantities than they did for several
weeks past. There is a general
complaint of a scarcity of Vuelta
fillers.
A feature of the present business
in Havana leaf is the return to favor | work, and also early took a hand

It has been figured out that if
Congress enacts a 20 per cent, re
duction on tobacco and cigars to
Cuba that the American cigar man-
ufacturer will be getting a reduction
of $4 a thousand on the cost of ci-
gars manufactured by him against
which the Cuban manufacturer will
be getting his cigars into the United
States at $20 a thousand less than
under the Dingley tariff".

February, all things considered,
was not a very good month for New
York cigar manufacturers, the main
reason alleged being that jobbers
were reluctant to load up while the
reciprocity matter was pending in
Congress.
The Agricultural Department, in
response to representations made by
Congressman Jones, of Washington,
is considering the advisability of
making experiments in raising filler
tobacco in the region around Spo-
kane. The Spokane Valley Land
and Water Company has offered to
furnish land and irrigation for the.
proposed experiments.
HOW IT IS IN YORK.
York, Pa., Feb. 24, 1902.
A number of disgruntled tobacco
salesmen on Friday determined to
discontinue business, for the time
at least, owing to the exceedingly
inclement weather, and make tracks
for home.
The snowy, and at the same
time flooded, country roads made
visits to those sections impossible,
while a very similiar state of
affairs in the city made conditions
unsavory to business.
The Sutter tobacco warehouse in
this city, conducted by I. B. Hos-
tetter, is in close proximity to the
Codorus creek, and being so, was
visited by the high water, as were
many others. Mr. Hostetter was
compelled, on Friday at midnight,
to remove tobacco from the cellar
to the upper stories to avoid damage
from the water.
The Myers & Adams factory
closed Friday at noon for the re-
mainder of the week, in order to
give the employes the full benefit of
the Washington Birthday holiday.
Reuben D. Zeck, of North Duke
street, received on Wednesday from
various farmers in the surrounding
sections about 40,000 pounds of the
1901 crop of tobacco. The pur
chases were made for Baltimore
concerns, and the tobacco was
shipped to Lancaster for packing
Mr. Zeck received also on Thursday
additional deliveries from Lancaster
parties. |
The first floor of John Minnich's
building in Dallastown, formerly
occupied as a post office, is to be
used by himself as an office.
Vinton R. Welsh made shipments
of his popular brands of Havana ci-
gars to Atlantic City and New York
during the past week.
Certificates of incorporation and
of organization have been filed with
the Secretary of State of Con-
necticut by the Paul Ackerly To

The purpose of the company is the
growing, curing and marketing of

in. Of the stock Paul Ackerly of
East Granby has 400 shares and
William L. Linke and Emil F.

All branches of the cigar trade
here have felt the effects of the
severe weather of the past week.
Factory employes during several
days were unable to reach their
usual places, and consequently
factories were running with rather
slim forces. The wholesale dealers
and jobbers have been greatly an-
noyed in their deliveries, some of
our streets having been almost im
passable for a number of days, es-
pecially Friday and Saturday, which
are usually their heaviest days for
delivery.
Frank Teller, of Frank Teller &
Co., returned last week from his
extended western trip, and reports
trade as being only fair. He speaks
very encouragingly, however, of
the prospects for the early spring,
and booked, while away, several
nice orders for future delivery.
John S. Geller & Son are now
offering an extensive list of special
goods, largely from independent
manufacturers, with nearly all of
which extras are given. For in-
stance, with each thousand of
"Match It" cheroots, which they
are selling at $13. 50, they are giv-
ing 100 "Grand Council" cigarros.
"The Grand Council" is manufac
tured by Richard Bond & Co., of
Baltimore. The "Sarkees No. 10"
cigarettes they are selling at $7 per
thousand, and are advertising them
as the only 10 cent brand upon the
market that is put up in a square
box with a string opener. With
1,000 "Jimp" little cigars at $3 60
they are giving 100 "Sovereign"
cigarettes. In the list, however,
the "Pathfinder" five cent cigar is
held uppermost. The jobbing
business of J. S. Geller & Son here
is being conducted under the per-
sonal supervision of N. T. Weser.
Henry G. Cutler, an enterprising
dealer at 208 Arch street, is now
placing upon the market "Cutler's
Special" five cent cigar, which he
is also jobbing to the retail trade.
The goods are packed in twentieths,
andare madeupin Londres. They
are manufactured specially for Mr.
Cutler's trade by one of the largest
and best known establishments in
Philadelphia, and will undoubtedly
give satisfaction to his steadily in-
creasing patronage.
Henry Heymann, of T. J. Dunn
& Co., has returned to the factory
headquarters here. J. C. Heymann,
of the same house, is expected back
from the South this week. W. P.
Bushell, who has joined the selling
forces of T. J. Dunn & Co., is
covering the New England States,
while Gerson Heymann is still in
the West. Otto L. Erdt has also
been added to the firm's selling
force, and will make his head-
quarters at Denver, from which
point he will cover the Pacific
Coast.
The heavy snow and an accumu-
lation of ice broke a skylight in the
factory of T. J. Dunn & Co. last
week, causing some slight damage.

The Lilies Cigar Company, of
Kalamazoo, Mich., which is prac-
tically identical with Lilienfield
Bros. & Co., of Chicago and New
York, is contemplating large ex-
tensions to its premises, which will
double its present capacity. An

oco cigars of their "Azores" brand,
but which is to be gotten up under

Mr. Myers of Montgomery, O.,
has received a petition from 200 to-
bacco raisers and farmers in the
Miami valley, asking him to intro-
duce a bill providing for the estab-
llishment of a branch of the state
'agricultural station in the Miami
valley to carry on experiments in
the raising of tobacco. Neither the
' Wooster station nor any of its
branches do anything in this line
Mr. Myers will soon introduce
the measure. He believes it will
do much to advance and stimulate
tobacco growing through the State.
Secretary George R. Maude of
the Connecticut Valley Tobacco
Growers' Mutual Insurance Associ-
ation has filed his annual report
with the insurance commissioner.
The business of the association for
the past year amounted to $62,000
and the sum received in premiums
was $3,095 33. The total losses in-
curred, all of which were paid, ag-
gregated $2,017 50, and there was
left a balance on hand for the com-
ing year of $2,51 1,35. The associ-
ation is a mutual one, formed for
the purpose of indemnifyingtobacco
growers for damage to their crops
by hail.
The trouble at the cigar factory
of Schiele Bros. & Moreland, of
Colorado Springs, Col., whereby
twenty-six union men are idle, has
been appealed for settlement to the
president of the Cigarmakers' In-
ternational Union by Charles
Schiele, manager of the firm. The
men disputed tht right of Mr.
Schiele to engage new employes in
the East, claiming that the secre-
tary of the local union should sup-
ply all cigarmakers. Mr. Schiele
recently engaged three union cigar-
makers in St. Louis, and the old
employes refused to work with the
new hands because their secretary
had not been consulted. They
threatened to strike, whereupon
they were discharged. Mr. Schiele
says if the president of the Cigar-
makers' International Union up-
holds the action of the men, he will
convert his factory into a jobbing
house. An order has been placed
with an eastern factory for 100,000
cigars.

THE TOBACCO WORLD
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
cant get from mechanical
source.
A machine cannot tit 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 worit 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.

H. F. Fidler, senior member of
the firm of H . F. Fidler & Co. , cigar
manufacturers at Womeldorf, is on
a week's business trip through the
northern section of the state in the
interests of the firm.
George A. Fichthorn, who for-
merly conducted a cigar store at 28
South 6th street, opened a cigar
and tobacco store at 313 Spruce
street. The place has been fitted
out with new shelving and counters
and has been repainted. All of the
leading brands are kept.
William W. Prutzman, manufac-
turer of the "Greater Reading" ci-
gar, ic6 North 5th street, returned
from a two weeks' visit to Porto
Rico, where he looked over the to-
bacco business with a view of locat-
ing there. Mr. Prutzman has not yet
decided upon what he will do.
Last week a local firm mailed 32,-
000 letters at one time, and it made
a hard day's work for the post office
people. The firm sent a box of ci
gars to the post office for each mail
carrier, with its compliments. The
gift was greatly appreciated.
In the windows of C. Breneiser
& Sons, cigar manufacturers, 7th
and Penn streets, the Monopol To-
bacco Works has an interesting ex-
hibit of a reproduction of the
electric tower at the Pan American
Exposition at Buffalo . It is five
feet in height, and is illuminated by
electricity. It is used to advertise
the Egyptian cigarettes made by the
Monopol Co., for which Breneiser
& Sons are the sole distributers
here.
At the last meeting of the Cigar-
makers' Union of Reading the use
of the union label was granted to
William H. Redcay, for his cigar
factory at 7 North 9th street. Reso-
lutions were adopted asking Con-
gressman Green and Senators Quay
and Penrose to vote for the re enact-
ment of the Chinese Exclusion act.
Three firms, the M.S. Taylor To-
bacco Co. , George W. Green and M.
H. Taylor, hav« signed the new
wage scale which was recently sub-
mitted by the members of the To
bacco Workers' Union, of this city.
It gives the hands employed in
these factories a very substantial
raise. In the pay of some it amounts
to an increase of over $2 per week.

George M. Jones, a weathy prop-
erty owner whose family resides on
Clymer street Brooklyn, and who
owns an extensive tobacco planta
tion called the "La Nuez" farm at
La Salud, Havana Province, Cuba,
recently wrote an interesting letter
on the Cuban situation to H. L.
Gassert.of 102 Garfield place, which
in part is as follows :
"This has been another hard year
on farmers here, four months have
passed without any rain to make
ordinary crops and the tobacco crop
grow, so it will be hard times with
the tobacco planters. With sugar
planters it will not be so bad, for
the sugar cane does not need rain
in the grinding season from Novem-
ber on. It would seem from read
ing the New York papers that the
island of Cuba is the most important
point in the world at present and
that the Americans are the cause of
their present poverty. Why, when
the Spanish flag floated over the
island and tl^e American markets
did not take their sugar and tobacco
crop at good prices, the Cuban
planters of sugar cane and tobacco
were always in more or less poverty.
If you combine the results of war-
fare and the low prices allowed the
world for sugar and more or less
for tobacco it will be difficult to lee
where we are responsible for their
poverty or that we are to take the
bread out of the mouths of our own
farmers to help along these Cubans
who care little or nothing for us
after all that has been done for
them, only to want more and still
more and never expect to say even
thank you for anything that ha*
been done or will be done for them.
We should protect our own first,
last and all the time. Annexation
will come about without us seeking
it. The island of Cuba and its
population are not large enough to
support a republic with all the
necessary fixings attached. Thus
the Cuban republic will start out
poor, and let me assure you it will
continue poor until finally it will
appeal to the American nation to
take her out of poverty and provide
for her future. Then the annexa-
tionists will raise a cry after accept-
ing the proposition that it was all
done to benefit the American peo-
ple and her interests."
Mr. Jones has been in Cuba ever
since the war and Mr. Gassert, who
is a retired tobacco merchant, says
his opinion is worth considering.
George M. Jones was for many
years a large wholesale dealer in
tobacco in New York.
Manila cigar makers are evi-
dently hastening to take advantage
of free trade with the United States,
before Congress can pass the pend-
ing tariff" bill. It is reported that
2,000,000 cigars are now on the
way, and that ten times as many
are to be shipped before spring.
These goods, it is said, cost about
one fourth as much as the domestic
product, and there are many Ameri-
can smokers, who having bad an
opportunity to taste them that have
grown to like them, and it is not
beyond the line of possibility that
if such opportunity is continued the
importaticn of cigars from the Phil-
ippines may increase but possibly to
the detriment of our home industry.

Western Tobacco Reports. I
MIAMISBURG, OHIO.
Since our last issue several con-
cerns have contracted for consider
able of the new Zimmer at 10 cents
through, and one in particular
booked a few crops at io>^ cents
and 1 1 cents, and then retired from
the market "because the price was
too high." Such tactics deceive
only the uninitiated, experienced
growers readily recognizing such a
move as an attempt to block the
market for those who are willing to
pay the established price of 10 cents.
The activity has somewhat subsided
at present, but is liable to break
out afresh with the advent of milder
weather, when stripping may again
be resumed.
Nothing of consequence is being
done in old tobaccos — News.
EDGERTON, WIS.
The conditions surrounding the
movement of the new crop remain
about as heretofore recorded in this
column, except possibly there has
been fewer sales the past week than
the previous ones. Buyers are rid-
ing the growing districts and pick-
ing out choice lots at about former
quotations, but the asking price of
farmers precludes a general move
ment of the crop. Thus matters
seem likely to be tied up for some
time to come. In some localities
there are evidences of a concession
being made in prices but scarcely
enough to induce liberal buying.
The Connecticut Valley tobacco
recently purchased to be handled
in this state has commenced to ar-
rive. Dealers who have examined
it are more than pleased with the
quality and the price it was bought
at. This tobacco will be carefully
assorted and some of it force-sweat
for an early market.
The market for old leaf has lapsed
into very quiet methods. No large
transactions are reported and dealers
begin to realize that they are asking
outside figures for their goods, else
there would be larger sales. Frank
Baines sold i6ocs of 1900 binders.
A good deal of assorting is now
being done among the experienced
growers who have about given up
hope of selling their crops in the
bundle.
Shipments, 8 iocs. — Reporter.
JANESVILLE, WIS.
There is but little change in local
tobacco market conditions. A half
dozen local buyers are riding the
coutry but make but few purchases.
The buyers and farmers do not get
together regarding prices. The
buyers pay current prices for such
of the tobacco as suits their fancy
but they claim that much of the
tobacco grown in this section is fit
only for export, and must be bought
for export prices, from 3 to 6 cents.
Many of the farmers do not seem
willing to accept these figures and
so sales are few and far between.
A disturbing element in the ex
port market is the fact that Brazil
grew an unusually large and good
crop last year which enters into
competition with our tobacco in
foreign markets. This is one reason
why local dealers are slow in taking
hold of the cheaper grades of last
year's growth.
In old goods sales are still confined
to the usual number of small sales
to manufacturers, although Chicago
parties have been looking our
market over.
T. A. Downs, of Liverpool, Eng-
land, was a visitor to our market
this week.
Henry Friedman and Capt. Camp-
bell, of J. Friedman & Co , Chicago,
were in our market yesterday look-
ing for old goods.

chases in Vernon county this week.

Our receipts of new tobacco this week
were 3J7 hhds. ; offerings on the breaks
16 hhds.; public and private sales 26 hhds.
Market quiet and dull, but sellers
are firm holders, waiting for the
usual regular demands to enter the
market.
The loose tobacco market is quiet,
partly from the cold weather, and
partly from the near exhaustion of
offerings of loose crops.
The Italian agents, and those of
the "Consolidated Tobacco Co."
have cut a noticeable hole in the
crop, and the latter may presently
"seek pastures new."

Eastern Tobacco Reports.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
Sales of tobacco have not been
quite so numerous the past week as
the previous weeks, for the reason
that the growers were so frightened
by the stories of the packers' tell-
ing. We wonder that such a con-
dition should ever have gained any
credence among the growers. They
acted like a flock of sheep when one
is frightened. They all seemed to
participate in the fright and became
so anxious to sell for any old price
that they fairly tumbled over each
other in their senseless haste, and
so rushed about with samples of
their crops, ready to take any offer
they could get.
We would like to have the
farmers combine in each town, as-
sort their own crops and have a
committee to dispose of it. Some
plan could be devised that would
help the growers. If five or six
influential men in each town would
start the union going, they would
thus help the smaller growers.
They could have meetings and talk
it over and disseminate information
relative to the market conditions,
and many other things of great
interest relative to the buying of
fertilizers, modes of culture, as well
as the curing and disposing of the
crop.
It is in the bounds of reasonable
expectation that the light-colored
wrappers that have been bought at
almost filler rates will sell at from
65 cents to $1 a pound, and that as
soon as through the forced sweat.
We have before us two circulars
issued by jobbers, and they both
ask 85 cents for the best, and 80
cents for the next grade, and for
medium quality 60 to 65 cents, and
good, but dark, 40 to 50 cents.

Sunderland : " No sales of tobacco
this week. Growers of tobacco
have waked up to the fact that
many have sold for far too low
prices, and that it is better to sort
their crops, and find out the exact
condition of the stock before selling.
The buyers offered from 18 to 22
cents for the crops when harvested,
but now won't take them for more
than from 7 to 10 cents. This is
altogether too much of a shrinkage.
Much of the leaf is still good, and
of fine quality. We expect the
growers will do just the same thing
next fall, and sell at the same figures
without anything paid to bind the
bargain. What fools we farmers
are!"
Conway: "I have a few more
sales at pretty low figures: J. M.
Stearns & Son and A. S. Eddy, to
a Wisconsin party, and W. Pulsifer,
prices ranging from 5 to 10 cents.
The buyers seem to want tobacco
pretty bad. There were as many as
four in town in one day." — Ameri-

No buying has been reported dur-

from riding. A few crops were de-
livered the latter part of last week,
which had been previously pur-
chased. The warehouses where the
new crop is being handled have had
enough tobacco on hand so that the
assorters have been kept at work.

The old snuff takers — the Sir Peter
Teazles and Lord Peterhams of
earlier days — used to favor plain
snuff, but the new snuff taker of the
twentieth century is affecting per
fumed snuff. He likes the scent as
he applies it to his nose, while the
snuff taker of a century ago liked
something sharp, that he could feel.
The old snuff taker went about with
a deep snuff box that would hold a

Snuff Taking in London.
When it was recently suggested
in one of the society papers of Lon-
don that there was to be a revival of
snuff taking, the idea was scouted
in social circles, but there can be
no longer any doubt that the habit
is growing very fast, particularly
among young men, though it has
not attained that dignity of former
days which is now seen depicted
through the medium of paintings
and the stage.
"The tendency, "said Mr. Evans,
of a twocentury-old house of snuff
manufacturers in the Hay market,
Her Smoking Outfit.
About ten years ago, says an ex-
change, a well-known Austrian
countess, whose name is one of the
most honored among her country's
nobility, had the misfortune to be
robbed of her "smoking outfit"
while on a journey from Vienna to
Buda-Pesth. The police issued a
list of the stolen articles, which run
as follows: "One gold cigarette
case, meerschaum mouthpiece, set
in gold; an aluminum cigarette case
an Irish pipe (almost black in ap-
pearance) gold mounted, with an
onyx mouthpiece; a silver match
box; a gold cigarette pipe; four
plain cigarette cases in gold, silver
and platinum, and one stt with
diamonds and rubies."

outside and the interior dried out
completely with a few charcoal fires.
In the handling of the shade-grown
crop this year, the men engaged in
the enterprise had, perhaps, sheds
I that were above the average, yet
bacco, to take this species of damage
and a marked depreciation of prices
to the farmer resulted on account
of it.
The packers blamed the grower.
they were so loosely constructed that [claiming that he did not handle the
as fast as the fires which were kept 1 crop as carefully as he should, and
the farmer in turn blamed the
packers as being the cause. This
state of affairs continued until the
1898 crop came out of sweat, when
it was found that possibly 35 per
cent, was damaged more or less.
The attention of the secretary of
agriculture at Washington was called
to this fact, who immediately began
to investigate the matter and in
October, 1899, sent George B.
Massey of Florida, who is an expert
sweater by the bulk process, to
Lancaster, to try to overcome the
"black rot" if possible. Mr. Massey
put down a bulk as an experiment
and at once saw that an improve-
ment can be made by the new pro-
cess. He then put down bulks for
several of the largest packers, and
upon examination, after they were
sweated, found little or no damage.
The following year, Mr. Massey
sweated for the various packers at
Lancaster of the 1900 crop, between
10,000 and 12,000 cases, or nearly
4,000,000 pounds, and made the
unprecedented record for losing
only 38 pounds in the whole lot by
damage.
The department of agriculture at
, first was severely censured by grow-
ers, who could not understand
whereby the agricultural depart-
I ment was benefiting them by teach-
ing the packer how to sweat to-
bacco; but this is very evident, that

if the packer is reasonably sure that
no loss will occur through sweating.
he can pay the grower more for his
tobacco than he could when a 35
per cent, loss stared him in the face.
It remains to be seen when the 1 901
crop will be lifted, whether they
will do so. It seems to me it is but
the grower's due; and it is his plain
■duty to put up his goods in the best
possible condition aLd then demand
at least a reasonable share of the
benefits derived from the work the
department of agriculture has done
in Lancaster county in teaching
packers better metBods.
The packer, upon receipt of the
tobacco from the grower, assorts it
and then lays it down in a bulk
about 16 feet long, five to six feet
high and about four or five feet
wide. This size bulk will contain
from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. The
temperature of the sweat room is
raised to perhaps 1 00 degrees and
maintained there a certain time,
and the bulk is watched very care-
fully and daily tests made by the
thermometer as to temperature, etc.
The great secret of the superiority of
this method is the facility by which
access can be had at all times to
almost every pound, which is not
the case in boxes.
The bulk is turned after a certain
time, thus getting a uniformity ol
sweat and color which can not be
gained by any other process; and as
the heat is under the control of the
operator, the sweat can be hastened
and the tobacco is ready for the
manufacturer from six to eight
months sooner than by the old way.
The results arrived at through these
efforts of the department conclu-
tively prove that in a very few
years case-sweating tobacco will be
a thing of the past, the process in-
troduced here by Mr. Massey being
so far superior to the old way that
no packer will risk his packing in
cases any more. Mr. Massey also
had under his supervision the culti-
vation of eight acres of Vuelta
Abajo Cuban seed in Lancaster
county the past summer.
LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Daily Enttics in Manofactotcrs' Accounts.
The Commissioner has ruled that
the practice of certain manufacturers
(who also have retail stores in the
same building) to not make daily
entries on their Books 73 of the
number of cigars manufactured, but
to make "lump" entries at intervals
is a violation of section 3390, Re- 1
vised Statutes, and that any omis-
sion on the part of manufacturers
hereafter to enter on each day the
number of cigars made as well
as those stamped and removed
from the factory, the penalties of
the law will be enforced; otherwise
the door would be open for the re-
moval of unstamped cigars from
the factory to the retail department
without the payment of tax, the
proprietor of the store refilling his 1
boxes from an unstamped stock. '
Combination Glass ]ar and Pasteboard Package
for Cigars Approved^
The Commissioner has authorized
the use, as a statutory package for
cigars, of a pasteboard and glass
package, having the factory num-
ber, number of the district and
State, and number of cigars, plainly
branded on the pasteboard box, with
the caution notice label in form pre-
scribed by the statute. The internal
revenue stamp was affixed to the
sides of the pasteboard box, and
over and upon the lid, securely seal-
ing the package, the stamp being
, canceled by waved lines and by the
number of the district and State and
date of use being printed thereon.
In addition the notice, '*the glass
box must not be removed from its
pasteboard covering until all cigars
are sold," appeared printed on the
pasteboard box.
Sale of Leaf Tobacco by Growers.
A tobacco grower who reported
that he proposed to tie his crop of
leaf tobacco in hands and retail it
over the counter at his retail store
during the ensuing year, was in-
formed that a farmer or grower of
tobacco may sell his tobacco with-
out restriction as to the time or
place or the quantity of tobacco
sold, but that he is not privileged to
stem, sweeten, roll, plait, twist or
otherwise change the tobacco from
the condition in which it was cured
on the farm, for the purpose of sell-
ing the same at retail to consumers
without the payment of the tax. It
was also advised that every person
who sells raw or leaf tobacco not of
his own growth or raising to other
persons for their personal use would
incur liability to special tax as a
manufacturer of tobacco, and liabil-
ity to tax on all leaf tobacco sold to

Special Tax Liability of Leaf Dealers.

the taking out of special tax stamps

and place large quantities of tobacco
in the hands of Eastern commis-
sion houses for sale on their account
during July, August and Septem-
ber. As to the special tax liability
of such dealers, the Commissioner
ruled that if leaf dealers ship all
their tobacco to other dealers before
July ist, and close their accounts
in Book 59 with no stock on hand,
they do not incur liability to special
tax until they again commence to
engage in the business of buying
and selling or shipping leaf tobacco
to other persons for sale on com-
mission, and in that case would pay
a special tax predicated on the
amount of their sales for the pre
ceding year for the time 'actually
engaged in the business — that is, a
proportionate rate from the first day
of the month in which they com
menced business until the first day
of July following.
Correction of a Manufactorer's Account.
A collector reported that since
July I, 1 90 1, and after a certain
manufacturer in his district had
filed his inventory taken on that
date, and his accounts for the first
half of 1 90 1 had been settled on
that basis, a quantity of tobacco
which the manufacturer had pur-
chased during the first half of the
year, but had failed to enter on his
Book 73 or monthly return, Form
72, had been traced to him. The
collector asked whether the accounts
of this manufacturer could be
amended so as to charge him with
this tobacco; and, if so, whether it
could be charged to him for the
last half of the year without dis-
turbing the settlement of the ac
counts for the first half year. He
was advised that the manufacturer
would be required to make an
amended monthly return for the
month in which he actually rectived
the tobacco, and should account for
it on his Book 73 for that month,
and that this amended monthly
return would change the statement
of his account. Form 144, for the
six months ended June 30, 1901;
further, that as the manufacturer
must have made a true inventory
on Form 70b on the first day of
July, as required by the regulations
and included all tobacco that he
had on hand at that date, any
charge made againtt him subse-
quently for tobacco received previ-
ous to that date would be erroneous.
Sale of Leaf Tobacco by a Manafactoter.
A collector referred to the Com-
missioner the case of a cigar manu-
facturer, who was in the habit of
selling 400 or 500 pounds of leaf
tobacco every month to other man-
ufacturers, and who claimed that
it would be a hardship if he were
not privileged to combine his leaf
business with that of the manufac-
ture of cigars, or if he were not
privileged to sell a portion of his
packing cases and reuse some of the
same cases for making cigars; fur-
ther, that it would be almost im-
possible for him to occupy separate
apartments only for the business of
selling leaf tobacco and for manu-
facturing cigars. The Commis-
sioner ruled that the Regulations,
No 8, prescribe that the business
of a leaf dealer can not be carried
on in the cigar factory premises;
further, that it had been decided
that where a manufacturer pur-
chases large quantities of leaf to
bacco in excess of the demands of
his factory, for the purpose of re-
selling his surplus stock to other
manufacturers, he would be re-
quired to qualify as a dealer in leaf
tobacco and carry on that business
in some place that is not a part of
his bonded factory premises, de-
scribed in Form 46^ , and that the
storage room, workshop and pack-
ing room must be entirely disen-
gaged from that portion of the same
building occupied for carrying on
business as a dealer in leaf tobacco.
It was advised that all leaf tobacco
purchased or received, which is in-
tended to be resold to other manu-
facturers, must be accounted for on
tlieir Book 59 as leaf dealers; and
if any portion of the same stock is
intended to be used at the cigar
factory it must be removed to the
bonded premises and accounted for
on Book 73 and reported on the
monthly return, Form 72.

Chapter X. The Purchasiui* Power of u CIi»ar.
By Charles Fox and Norhkrto Ctkva,
of F. Miranda & Co.
Mr. Fox. — Those fried Jewesses
at the restaurant to- day were partic
ularly good, don't you think, Bert?
Mr. Cueva. — It is no wonder they
were good — every bean in the dish
cost me one cigar at least. I am
forever sending out cigars to the
chef.
Mr. Fox. — They were cigars well
spent. I have seen my own cigars
go forth at times without bringing
any such returns as you have just
had from yours.
Mr. Cueva. — That is perhaps be
cause you don't always bear in
mind that the purchasing power of
a cigar — it needn't always be a good
cigar, either — oftentimes exceeds
silver and gold, or even the '*long
green."
Mr. Fox. — I won't admit that at
all, because no one's sense of the
value of the cigar, considered from
that point of view, can exceed my
own. In fact, having digested Mr.
Harry Rothschild's account of the
origin of the cigar, I am led to re-
flect that the value of a cigar as a
purchasing medium was made con-
spicuously clear by the very first
cigar of all, for it brought Lieuten-
ant Alcantara not only a wife, but
fame and fortune, too.
Mr. Cueva. — I maintain that, pro-
vided the recipient of a free cigar
be a person of taste and judgment,
there is scarcely anything a cigar
will not buy.
Mr. Fox. — You may even go
farther and say there is nothing it
won't buy. It is like the quality
of mercy as defined by Portia, it
blesses him that gives and him that
takes; him that gives because it in-
sures for him the good will of the
man on whom it is bestowed; him
that takes because it brings him a
superior kind of solace when he
smokes it.
Mr. Cueva. — That's rather poet-
ical, Charley. I know of more than
one instance where the gift of a cigar
has resulted in mere material bless-
ings. There was that historical
affair of Don Infantado and his
niece and her lover. I have told
you once or twice before, I think,
of Don Infantado; how he was re
lated to the royal family of Spain;
how he was a Brigade Commander
in Cuba away back in the time of
Julian Alvarez and Henry Clay;
how he was all gold lace and punc-
tilio; how he was childless and rich,
but I never before told you of his
niece, that astonishing combination
of beauty, pride, womanlinessandsa
voir faire. No blue stocking, tho',
and, since Cupid's bow rested for-
ever upon her upper lip, surely
never destined to be an old maid.
blood royal of Spain. Well, she
forgot all about these things, of
course, when th« right man came
along. He was not even a Span-
iard, but an American from Ken-
tucky, related, if I remember rightly,
to the famous King family of the
Blue Grass State. It was after she
had come to an understanding
Mr. Norhbrto Cueva.
Mr. Fox. — Let's have the story.
Mr. Cueva. — The Donna Mer-
cedes was the head of her uncle's
household in Havana. Don Infan
tado was not the Captain General
of Cuba, but his palace on the Prado
— this was more than fifty years ago,
please remember, — was even more
stately than that of the Captain
General. The Donna Mercedes
did with her childless and gorgeous
relative just whatever she pleased
in all things, save only in one all
important thing— she might not
choose a husband from among her
suitors without her uncle's consent,
and that consent would afterward
have to be ratified at Madrid, for
the lady, like her uncle, was of the
Mr Charles Fox.
with her lover that her duty to her'
uncle and to her royal connections |
in Madrid forced itself upon her j
attention and persisted in being
taken into account. She was a very j
unhappy girl just about then, but;
she was also a very determined !
woman. She and Don Infantado;
had a very stormy time when she
told him all about it. He threat- I
ened to pack her off to Spain. She
tossed her pretty head and replied
that Mr. King would follow after.
He told her he would send her to a
convent; she retorted that the idea
rather pleased her, because in that
case she wouldn't be bothered with
the cares of housekeeping. He
declared he would cut her off with
a peseta; she replied that her lover
was rich; in short, sh« had an
answer to her uncle every time. It
was at this time that Mr. King left
Havana rather suddenly, as it
seemed to Don Infantado. He came
back four months afterward with
the written consent of the King of
Spain to his marriage with the
Donna Mercedes.
Mr. Fox. — A bright young man.
How did he do it?
Mr. Cueva.— He didn't do it. A
box of cigars did it. 'Twasin this
wise, as the old romance writers
used to put such things: He learned
from Mercedes that her swagger
relative, the King of Spain wai an
ardent lover of cigars. He went
thereupon to Julian Alvarez — the
crop in the Pinar del Rio was an ex-
ceedingly good one that year — and
had him make for the Kingof Spain,
upon whom he meant to bestow
them, 1,000 cigars of such quality
and workmanship as the world had
not seen up to that time. The box
made for their reception was all
gold and plate glass, with the coat
of arms of the King of Spain laid in
in gold and precious stones on the
top. Beneath was the inscription in
Spanish, also in gold, "De Rey a
Rey"— "From a King to a King."
Whether Mercedes had suggested
this precious gift, the first of its
kind on record, the chronicle does
not state, but it is more than likely
that she had a hand in it, for she gave
her lover such instructions as to his
plan of campaign after he should
reach Madrid that his progress there
was a genuine triumph. The cigars
were exactly to the King's taste,
so was the man who presented them,
and thus it came about that when
Mr. King got back to Havana he
married the lady Mercedes, and
they lived happily ever after — in
Kentucky. I saw one of his grand-
daughters myself at the Pan Ameri-
can not long ago, and she was as
pretty as her grandmother. I hope
she gets as good a husband.
Mr. Fox. — If I didn't know you
were married, Bert, I'd think things.
Mr. Cueva. — Well, you needn't
take the trouble. Here's a cus-
tomer.

The well-known cigar jobbing
firm of Walsh, Boyle & Co., of
Chicago, who handle the brand in
that territory, report that their
present sale of the "Sweet Nell"
averages 500,000 a month. The
cigar smoking public was so quick
to appreciate the merits of the brand
that Walsh, Boyle & Co. feel justi-
fied in predicting that it will ulti-
mately be in the bands of every
dealer in the country.
In Little Rock, Ark., the "Sweet
Nell" brand is being handled by
the successful jobbing firm of Her
man Kahn & Co., who also give a
flattering account of its reception
by the lovers of good cigars in the
territory to which they cater.
In short, orders for the "Sweet
Nell" have been duplicated wher-
erer the brand has been placed.
It will be placed soon in the East
and in every section of the country,
and Heyman Bros. & Lowenstein
give their assurance that the quality
of the brand will always be kept at
the top notch.

Mr. Schwarz is more than a manu-
facturer of cigars. He is what the
Italians would call a maestro. And
like every genuine maestro he is
constantly discovering something
new and pleasing in his chosen call-
ing. His latest discovery was the
availability of Joe Wertheim and
Frank Lewin as business associates.
These two with Mr. Schwarz and
D. Emil Klein, his partner before
the recent reorganization of the firm,
make a quartette that is justly en-
titled to be called The Big Four.

Couch.
He has the customs administra
tive laws at his fingers' ends, and is
more like an encyclopedia than any
thing else, with this diflFerence that
encyclopedias are sometimes ob-
scure whereas Mr. Couch is always
clear. During office hours, he is
always accessible which is still
better.
Are we getting away from the
trade? Hardly, for Chief Deputy
Couch has always had much busi
ness to transact with the importing
element.

What would Philadelphia be with-
out the Vetterleins?
And of the Vetterleins who is
better known than Julius? Ask
Juliui to tell you, and then ask
Herman. And when these two
have given you their views, suppose
you take an automobile and ask all
the other Little Cousins.
"Vetterlein" means "little cous-
in," doesn't it? Sounds like a sen-
tence out of a Russian novel, this
last, because in Russian novels
everybody is forever calling the
next man, or boy, "little father"
and pet names like it.
The Pipe Dream
AT ale of Pire and Smoke
BY WALTER BLDMKNTHAL.
The true history of the pipe is
little known. The Indians with
their stone pipes were not its in-
ventors. They stole the idea from
Moses, which proves them to have
been the lost ten tribes. Moses
smoked a pipe filled with dried
manna in the desert. The story
that he invented Egyptian cigarettes
is false. He inherited the treasured
pipe from Abraham and Abraham
got it from Adam. Adam smoked
the Paradise brand made of fig
leaves, and Eve, wherever they
went, always carried with her a
supply of the weed for her hubby's
use in an old stocking. Often she
threatened to make it piping hot for
him with the wood- house axe when
he came home late from lodge, but
if he gave her part of his winnings
for a new bonnet or some such
thing, she would agree to bury the
hatchet and smoke the pipe of peace
with him once more. But when
they were exiled for robbing the
orchard, Adam forgot his precious
pipe in the hurry of moving day,
and Eve lost all the supply of dried
fig-leaves through a hole in her
stocking. So Adam grew despond*
ent, because Noah had bequeathed
him the pipe which he valued as an
heirloom, and he took to smoking
stogies. But they made his breath
smell rank, and Eve objected.
Noah was really the fir^t man to
smoke a pipe. He used the Sailors'
Delight brand on board the ark.
But one day a spark set fire to the
forecastle where the male and female
representatives of the species Ape
were stored. It ignited a straw
which one of the animals was chew
ing and burned it to death. That is
the explanation for the Missing
Link
No, the Indians were not the dis-
coverers of the pipe. The white
settlers brought the clay pipe over
with them from England. How it
came to be used in the mother
country is a tale worth telling. I
You have doubtless heard the
myth of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. |
According to the legend, the town
of Hamelin in the year 1284 was so
infested by rats as to compel the in-
habitants to leave it, when one day
there appeared upon the scene a
piper clad in a fantastic suit, who
oflfered for a certain sum of money
to charm all the vermin into the
Weser river by his piping. His I
conditions were agreed to, but after '
he had fulfilled his promise the in-
habitants, on the ground that he
was a sorcerer, declined to carry out
their part of the bargain, where-
upon he reappeared one day in the I
streets of the town, and putting his '
pipe to his lips began a soft and
curious strain, which caused all the
children to come trooping after him
while he l.d them out of the town ;
to a great hill, in whose side a door
suddenly opened, by which he
entered and the children after him,
that is, all but one child who was
lame and could not follow fast
enough to reach the door before it
shut again and remained fast for-
ever. I
This is a very picturesque legend,
but it is untrue, as will be shown,
and is a pure falsification of facts. I
In justice to the history of both the I
pipe and the piper the smoke ob
scuring this mystery should be
cleared away.
It is true that such a man as the
Piper of Hamelin once existed.
Methuselah's eldest son, with whom
we have the honor to be acquainted
mentions Hamelin 's name in his
recently published book on "How
to Grow Old Without Dying."
The Piper was an itinerent musi-
cian of wonderful skill, we are told
The occasion of that happening

MARCH 5, iqo2.
Philadelphia is gradually work-
ing herself out of the isolated posi-
tion caused by the disastrous storm
of sleet and rain which visited this
section, more than a week ago, and
since which we have suffered an
interruption of communication by
wire with New York and other
points that was even more serious,
and certainly more protracted, than
during the famous blizzard of March ,
i838. Communication by rail with
all points has been maintained, al-
though with great difficulty at first,
and as a result there has not been
so complete an embargo on the
news as was witnessed fourteen
years ago, yet its belated arrival
caused much annoyance and serious
inconvenience. Locally, our special
telephone service aided us admira-
bly in surmounting a barrier of
snow, sleet and rain.
Will Prosperity Last?
In advising against the sweeping
rtduction of the public revenues by
cutting off the $77,000,000 yearly
which the internal war taxes have
yielded, Mark Hanua is reported as
saying that we should realize that
present favorable conditions are not
likely to continue indefinitely. The
same idea was lately expressed
more briefly by William C. Whitney
in the remark "Prosperity will not
last forever."
It is undoubtedly true that in
trade and industry as in all other
manifestations of human activity
the law of action and reaction rules,
and it may be unreasonable to ex-
pect that the existing level of pro-
duction and consumption will be
maintained, relatively, during the
next five years.
At the same time, it is only fair
to point out that there is a marked
difference between the country's
resources for weathering a storm to
day and those which it possessed
in the "lean years" immediately
preceding the first election of Wil-
liam McKinley. In the first place,

plicit faith that in time its cigarettes,
which are hygienically recom-
mended, will become as popular in
the United States as they are in
Mexico and in England and France.
The company's distributer for
Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jer-
sey and the District of Columbia is
Jacob G Shirk, of Lancaster.
Last week the company shipped
2,000,000 of its cigarettes to H. L.
Judell & Co., of San Francisco, its
representatives on the Pacific Coast.
The company's new brand, "Pre-
ciosas," retailing at ten cents, is
meeting with much popular favor
from cigarette lovers in this city.

Interesting Pipe Duty Decision.
A Chicago house imported
through G. W. Sheldon & Co., the
well known Custom House brokers
of that city and New York, an as
sortment of pipes and pipe bowls,
upon which the collector levied
duty at the rate of 60 per cent, ad
valorem, prescribed by paragraph
459 of the Tariff Act of 1897, for
"tobacco pipes and pipe bowls,
and all smokers' articles whatso
ever."
The importers protested against
the application of the more general
provision in this paragraph and
claimed that the merchandise in
question was especially provided for
in a previous clause of the same
paragraph, under the designation
of pipes and pipe bowls of clay, for
which a compound rate of 50 cents
per gross and 25 per cent, ad val-
orem is prescribed. The Classifica-
tion Board of United States Gen
eral Appraisers rendered a decision
in the case in which the board
found that, from the report of the
local appraiser and samples sub
mitted at the hearing before the
board, all of the pipes were com-
posed of clay, metal and rubber,
and that the bowls were composed
of clay and metal. Analysis deter-
mined that rubber constituted the
component material of chief value
in the pipes and that clay was of
chief value in the bowls.
The board, in their decision, cited
several cases decided by them where
it was held that goods composed in
part of a certain material were
dutiable as articles of that material,
provided it constituted the com
ponent of chief value in the com
position. As to the bowls under
consideration, the board said in
their decision: "It is clear that
the provision in paragraph 459 for
pipes and bowls made of clay was
intended to cover not only articles
made wholly of clay, but also such
as were composed in chief value of
clay. It is, therefore, plain that
the bowls in question being com-
posed in chief value of clay are en-
titled to the compound rate claimed
by the protestant, while the pipes
being in chief value of rubber were
properly assessed under the more
general provision for all smokers'
articles whatsoever."
Stogies for Hawalians.
The enterprise of the Collins
Cigar Co., of Pittsburg, has made
it possible for the famoas Pittsburg
stogie to get into line and follow the
flag into the "far east." Abigship-
ment of the popular stogies of the
Collins Cigar Co. left Pittsburg for
Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii,
last week. The shipment consisted
of thirty cases or 300,000 "Our
Country's Pride" cheroots, "Seal
of Pittsburg" stogies and "Saw
Log" stogies, and is billed by Penn- 1
sylvania company freight care Atch !
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe R. R.
to Chicago and care J. B. Spreckles
Steamship Line at San Francisco.
The consignment of these stogies
to our newest possessions is evi-
dence of the widespread demand
manifested throughout the world
for the famous Pittsburg stogie.

J. I. Mayer, president of the
Pereira- Mayer Co., a new firm of
clear Havana cigar manufacturer*
at 225 E. 41st street. New York
city, made his initial visit among
the trade here, on Monday of this
week. It was virtually his first
day out in the interest of his new
house and he received many com-
plimentary orders upon his exqui-
site line. Mr. Mayer is well known
to the trade here, and is, in fact, a
resident of this city, living at 2405
N Broad street, and therefore needs
no introduction from us. He is
perhaps better known in the United
States as the general agent of the
Eugene Vallens & Co., formerly of
Chicago, whom he served so efl&-
ciently for over fifteen years.
Neil McCoull Co., manufacturers

feet; a four-story storage shed,
90x16 feet; a one-story dryer house,
20x40 feet, and an addition. 10x40
feet, to the boiler room. The build-
ing will be built on the slow burn-
ing construction method, of brick,
with steel trusses, steel columns,
and a slag roof. Cement floors,
Belgian block and plank paving
are provided for in the specifica-
tions. The building will be equip-
ped with Kinnear sliding doors,
automatic tin- lined doors, and a
tank on the roof.
IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
The leaf trade has been more ac
tive this week than at any time
during the present year. Visitors
were far more numerous, and the
trade is, in every way, more full of
•pirit.
George Burghard received a car
load of Havana seed binders which
were thought to have been lost in
transit, having been located some-
where east of Chicago since January
loth. Mr. Burghard, however, is
highly pleased to have received
them, feeling confident that it is an
exceptionally fine lot of goods, and
that he can easily turn them to
value.
F. Eckerson, of F. Eckerson &
Co., returned from Havana last
week. Of his new purchases of
Havana tobacco 257 bales arrived
on the "Morro Castle." The re-
mainder, however, are to be left in
Cuba for some weeks yet. Mr.
Eckerson informs us that while in
Cuba he met Mr. Wm. Castle, a
member of the former firm of Castle
& Schell, well known to the Phila
delphia trade Mr. Castle is now
in the soda water business in Ha-
vana, and wishes to be remembered
to his acquaintances here.
Oscar G. Boehm, of Brem?r Bros.
& Boehni, Charles Martiner, with
E. A. Calves & Co., and Tom
Stavely, of the John B. Heil Co.,
are now working energetically for
their respective houses. Messrs.
Boeem and Martinez are visiting
the trade of their respective firms
through Pennsylvania, while Mr.
Stavely is covering the principal
southern points in the interest of his
house.
S. Agatstein, with K. Straus &
Co., has just returned from a two
months' western trip. Mr. Straus,
the head of this honse, is again
able to make daily visits to the
office, having been under the doc-
tor's care for several weeks.
Jake Labe, of B. Labe & Sons,
arrived here on Saturday after a six
weeks' tour of the middle west.
H. S Myers, now with Leopold
Loeb & Co., of this city, left on
Monday for Pittsburg, from which
point he will cover New York and
the New England States.
E. P. Wiseburn, of the firm of C.
C. Hamilton & Co., tobacco in-
spectors of New York city, was
among the recent visitors to the
leaf trade here in the interest of his
house. Incidentally Mr. Wiseburn
has also introduced here success-
fully the new tobacco patent sample
binder, the use of which has been
adopted by several of our most pro
gressive leaf men.
H. Schlessinger, of S. Schles-
singer & Co. , Cleveland, O. , stopped
in Philadelphia last week for a day
enroute to New York. He reports
the trade conditions in Cleveland
fairly satisfactory, but states that
there is always room for improve- 1
ment, and that the leaf trades, like '
every one else, is always anxious
to do more business.
G. W. Newman, of Young &
Newman, is now visiting the firm's
warehouse in Wisconsin, and is
looking after their packing interests.

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The energy displayed by leaf
men during the past week has not
been of much avail, as the market
has remained rather quiet, with
transactions limited to small quanti-
ties Notwithstanding the fact that
the dullness has continued for some
weeks there has not been the slight-
est break in prices for any kind of
domestic leaf, a fact which is due
to the comparatively small quantity
of old goods left on the market.
The 1900 tobaccos are also being
gradually consumed, leaving little
available.
Havana has not revived to the
state of activity which was expected
for it, yet good tobaccos are bring- i
iug good values.
The Sumatra market is somewhat
lagging, waiting the more definite '
knowledge of the new crop which
is expected in a short time.
Exports.
Atitwerp — 21 cases plug; 66 hhds.

Cuban Republican May 19, Perhaps.
Plans for the inauguration of the
independent government in Cuba
and the withdrawel of United States
troops from the Island were dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting in
Washington on February 28. Secre-
tary Root took the leading part in
the conference. The date tenta-
tively discussed for the inaugura-
tion of President Palma and the
other newly- elected Cuban officers
was May 19. It was r«-called,
however, that according to the
terms of the Piatt amendment a
^ treaty would have to be negotiated
between the United States and Cuba,
i the convention to be ratified im-
mediately after the installation of
the new officials. The withdrawal
of troops will not take place until
^ after th« ratification of the treaty.
In the Tobacco Capital of
j Pennsylvania.
Lancaster, Pa., Mar. 3, 1902.
The trade during the present
week has brightened up considers-
bly. Dealers and packers have
again become more active, and as
a result much better trade can be
reported for the week, and it has
furthermore resulted in a fair volume
of business. The buying has some-
what slackened off owing perhaps
to some extent to the very severt
weather which was experienced
here last week.
I. H. Weaver, the well known
packer on North Prince street, has
just purchased the properties 241-
43 for a consideration of $11,500.
The buildings have been used by
Mr. Weaver for packing purposes
for the past two years.
A new leaf tobacco firm has been
started at Lincoln by Israel Keller
of Springville, and Jacob Keller of
Akron, under the firm name of
Keller Bros.
A. N. Wolf, of Akron, manu-
facturer and leaf dealer, has leased
a floor of the new shoe factory build-
ing of that town, which he will oc-
cupy for packing purposes.
F. B. Wiseburn, of the tobacco
inspecting firm of C. C. Hamilton
&Co.,of New York city, visited
several members of the trade here
late last week Mr. Wiseburn is
extending the operations of his
house in this section, and incident-
ally also was introducing to them
the patent tobacco sample binder
with which the leaf trade here is
highly pleased. This firm's local
! representative is Frank V. Miller,
whose headquarters are 206 North
Queen street.
HOW IT IS IN YORK.
York, Pa., March 3, 1902.
The chief secret of success with
successful manufacturers is the fact
that they continually hustle for
trade. This sign of activity may
take the form of advertisement or
personal drumming, but the results
are identical. To make a success
of a venture in these days of com-

factory smoke is concerned, and
rivals many higher priced articles
in workmanship and appearance.
The results of the recent election
show that a prominent tobacco
dealer was a successful candidate;
Noah Gillen has been elected to
City Councils. Now watch for or-
dinances.
A very destructive fire occurred
at Emigsville on Thursday morn- '
ing totally destroying the Juan
Rubino & Co.'s cigar plant. The|
building was a frame structure and
contained a quantity of tobacco
and about 100,000 cigars ready fori
packing, also a large number which '
had been stamped ready for ship
ment. The cigars were all destroy-
ed with the building, while most of
the tobacco was saved; the loss, i
however, is about $4,500. The fire i
originated in a chimney, the com-
plete destruction being due to poor |
fire fighting facilities, the bucket
brigade being of little service. [
The Paragon Cigar Co. is very
busy at present working over time.
As this season of the year bodes ill
to cigar business in many cases,
the present orders for this factory
shows good material and proper
management.
We were visited in the city by Eli
Shertzer, the veteran tobacco man
from Philadelphia, who has been
visiting the trade in Hanover, York
and vicinity.
Fire In an Altoona Factory.
The Altoona Cigar Manufactur-
ing Company, Messrs. Harry Par-
rlsh and Robert Gordon, proprietors,
located at 709 Seventeenth street,
Altoona, Pa., was visited by fire
last week and the stock of tobacco
practically ruined.
The firm had been doing a good
business and had on hand a large
number of cigars ready for ship
ment. This latter had been delayed
because of the inability to get boxes
from Lancaster. Parrish stated that
the stock was valued at $1,800 and
on this there was an insurance of
$i,4< o.
Big Shipment of Cigar Machinery.
The Miller, DuBrul & Peters
Manufacturing Co , of Cincinnati,
O., has made a shipment of a car
load of cigars and tobacco ma-
chinery to the Fiji Islands. Their
special lines of machinery for the
manufacture of cigars, etc , is al-
ready extensively in uec in many
foreign countries.
FOR A UNIFORM DUTY ON HA-
VANA TOBACCO.
Phlladelphlans Petition Ways and
Means Committee.
The following petition, signed
by a number of Philadelphia's lead-
ing manufacturers, and not a few
leaf dealers, was forwarded to the
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Repre
sentatives on Saturday last.
Hon. S. V. Payne,
Chairman Committee on Ways
j and Means House of Represen-
I tatives, Washington, D. C.
Sir: — We, the undersigned cigar
manufacturers and leaf dealers, re-
alizing the moral duty of the United
I States, so strongly and ably ex-
pressed by our honored President,
; Theodore Roosevelt, in his recent
message to Congress, to adopt such
legislative measures as are best suit
ed to relieve Cuba from the business
depression and the financial distress
that prevails in the Island, largely
due to the severance of her former
advantageous trade relations with
Spain, and her present commercial
isolation, and with the view to the
adoption of such measures of relief
as will accomplish the honorable
purpose of placing Cuba on a
sound economical basis by provid
ing an advantageous market for her
products without, at the same time,
injuring our industrial interests,
respectfully submit to your con-
sideration the following petition re-
commending this action:
A uniform duty on Havana to-
bacco of 20 percent, per pound; tak-
ing in consideration that Havana
tobaccos do not come in competition
with the domestic leaf, but on the
contrary that the Havana fillers
will enable the cigar manufacturers
to use domestic mild fillers, which,
if taken alone, would not be suit-
able for the manufacture of cigars.

WANT REBATE.
One of the strongest documents
yet presented to the ways and means
committee has been presented by
Congressman Tawney, of Minne
sota. It came from Minneapolis
importers of Hava cigars, and is as
follows:
The undersigned subscribers en
gaged in the importing of Havana
cigars in the city of Minneapolis,
Minn., in view of any proposed
change in existing duties on cigars
imported from Cuba, respectfully
beg to call your attention to a care-
ful consideration of the interests of
our trade, in the framing of any bill
changing the duties on Havana
cigars for the following reasons:
1. The duties on Havana cigars
have, since the McKinley act, been
very heavy, almost to the verge of
prohibition, amounting to from 100
to 200 per cent on the cost of cigars
in Cuba.
2. Notwithstanding these heavy
duties, there have been brought
into this country an average of
about 35,000,000 cigars per annum
on which we have paid very large
sums to the government.
3. Prosecuting the importing
business necessitates the carrying
of large stocks of imported cigars,
consequently any change that might
be inaugurated in duties would en-
tail considerable pecuniary loss to
all engaged in this branch of cigar
trade, unless your committee, in its
discretion, should see that we are
protected in the framing of the act
by providing a rebate on stocks on
hand at time of the act going into
eflFect for any diflference between the
present duties we have paid and the
new schedule.
Such changes in duties as may be
made for the benefit of the govern-
ment of Cuba — already under a deep
load of gratitude to this country —
should not work any hardship and
loss to the citizens of our own
country, but should make provision
for guarding against loss in value
and in the uninterrupted prosecu-
tion of our business.

THE TRADE IN READING.
Rbading, Pa., March i, 190*
Reading's leaf tobacco dealers, J
U. Fehr, John A. Hain & Co., and
L. L. & M. F. Greene, report that
the trade has brightened up con-
siderably during the past week and
that the purchases of leaf tobacco
are considerably heavier than they
have been for some time. This is
regarded as an indication that a
busy spring trade may be looked
for in the cigar manufacturing
business. Among the latest firms
to enter the leaf tobacco business is
Hartman & Riegel, 809 Penn street
The employes of Valentine E
Wilk's cigar factory, 249 Pear
street, were vaccinated at the re
quest of the proprietor, who believes
that every manufacturer should take
this position and help secure thor
ough vaccination. Mr. VVilk is
very busy and has a number of
large orders on hand. He runs a
Union label cigar factory, and is
one of the pioneers in the city using
the label. He makes a specialty of
his "Germania" brand.
A patent has been granted to J
M. Althouse, of this city, lor an
electric cigar lighter. The device
is intended for retail cigar stores,
hotels, etc., and is a neat and orna
mental fixture. The patent was
secured through Patent Attorney
Ed. A. Kelley, this city, and it is
probable that a stock company will
b« formed for the purpose of manu
facturing them on a large scale
Extensive improvements have
been made to the cigar store at 510
Penn street, formerly conducted by
Storm Miller, and recently acquired
by Edwin S. Kerper, who was form-
erly traveling representative of the
Prizer- Painter Stove Co. The store
room has been repapered and painted
and a pool table added.
Charles Breneiser& Sons, whole
sale tobacco dealers, Seventh and
Penn streets, have been appointed
local distributers for "The Favor
ita," a Porto Rican cigarette mauu
factured by L. Daussa, at Ponce.
P. R.
M. L. Crouse & Co., cigar manu-
facturers, are placing a new stogie
on the market, which will be known
as the "Jackson Pole." It is
6^ inches long, and is made chiefly
for the trade in this county, al-
though there are orders booked
ahead for other places.
Thomas J Gift. 712 Penn street,
who has been in the cigar and pool
room business at different locations
on Penn street for the past 12 years,
has leased the large three story
brick dwelling with lodge halls at
the southwest corner of Ninth and
Walnut streets where he will move
his place of business about April i.
The new place is being handsomely
finished throughout, and when
completed will be one of the finest
smoking dens in the city. Mr.
Gift is very popular among many
friends, and will spare no expense
to make the place the most attrac-
tive in Reading.
The CO partnership existing be-
tween L. R Romig and Samuel B
Keppel, trading under the name of
L. R. Romig & Co., cigar manu
facturers, at Sinking Springs, has
been liquidated and closed. Samuel
B Keppel is the liquidating agent.
Cigar manufacturer John J . Roth ,
750 Penn street, received an order
for 10 000 of one of his leading
brands from a New York house.
He recently put a new brand on
the market called "What," and it
is selling well. His "Cake Walk"
still continues to have a large sale.
Bitting & Hawk, cigar manu
facturers at 227 Orange street, enjoy
a large run on their "Way On."
a nickel brand, and will place
several new brands on the market
in the spring The firm recently
acquired new headquarters
Daniel Fleck, of the Fleck Cigar
Company, returned from an exten
sive and successful western trip in
the interest of the firm. Charles
Fleck, the senior member of the
firm, returned from a successful
trip through the coal regions.
Hartman & Riegel, cigar manu-
facturers have moved into larger
quarters at 21 South Ninth street,
the factory recently vacated by H.
H. Roland. It is a two-story brick
building, 15 by 30 feet. The firm
will continue to conduct their retail
store at 809 Penn street, but the
factory was moved into the larger
place owing to increasing business.
A S Hartman will have charge of
the store and Howard E Riegel
will have personal supervision of

THE TOBACCO WORLD
THIS IS IMPOR=
TANT TO YOU
There are a good many cigar makers
who clin.u to obsolete methods on account
of what they call the expense of making changes
and getting on a modern basis.
As a matter of fact, 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 belter goods because the wrap-
per is cut with a knife,
giving a clean cut ecige
instead of a mashing cut
edge 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 way 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 at the
earliest possible moment,
reasons and other facts
=rz= ....,4
There are other
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.

the factory. The firm will engage
in the wholesale and retail leaf to-
bacco trade in connection with their
present business.
A good joke is told about one of
the leading cigar manufacturers
here. The representative of The
Tobacco World entered his busi
ness place with a view of giving
him a notice on his business.
**How is business?" the reporter
asked. "Very dull," the business
man replied, "I expect to lay ofi"
fully a dozen hands on Saturday."
"Is that possible," said the re-
porter, "I will call later, to give a
notice," he said as he started to
leave.
"Don't be in a hurry," said the
proprietor. "I thought you came
here for a job. I thought you were
a cigar maker out of wotk. I am
bothered with so many "comers"
and "goers," and that is why I
gave you that funny tale. I am i
right busy, and predict a bright
spring trade. You can say so, if
you wish."
The reporter left, wondering
whether such a man was deserving
of a notice or not. But, after all,
such is life. "Pompey."

this week were 556 hhds; offerings
on the breaks were 28 hhds; and
sales 24 hhds. Mainly the lower

the market was quiet and un

strongest for lugs.
There is rather more buying in

The breaks for the week were 44
hhds, all common grades in soft
order; only 5 hhds sold. Sellers
are not offering as but few orders
are on the market, and prices not
yet jfixed so as to quote market
values. The weather is favorable
and large receipts of loose tobacco
coming in, and buyers are on the
keen jump to secure the small por-
tion unsold at }4 to ^c more than
paid heretofore. Very small part
of the crop is unsold; being the best
crop grown for several year. The
situation portends higher prices;
especially for Low and Common
grades.

There is evidently a disposition
in some localities to grant a con
cession in the price asked by growers
for their tobacco, which is leading
to a more generous movement of
the crop, as evidenced by the sales
recorded this week. While the
buying by no means approaches the
usual conditions of a lively market,
there is reason to believe that
dealers will become more active as
the prices demanded come near their
ideas of what they feel warranted
in paying. As the spring months
approach growers have always been
willing to grant these concessions
rather than sort and pack their to
bacco, and yet a good many farmer
are arranging to assort and pack
their crops upon the farms or hire
it done at local warehouses.
Work has commenced on the New
England tobacco brought into the
state which is being closely graded
and as carefully assorted as is done
in the east, requiring an unusual
amount of pains taking labor.
The market for old goods has
developed no new features and only
a moderate amount of business is
recorded. Andrew Jensen sold a
200CS lot of export grades and E.
C. Hopkins a car load of '99 leaf.

JANESVILLE, WIS.
In this immediate vicinity the
conditions remain about the same,
as regards the buying of the 1901
crop. In some other parts of the
state there is a slightly increased
activity. Local buyers still main-
tain they cannot aflford to pay the
prices ask for the cheaper grades
remaining in the hands of the
farmers. They claim that most of
the tobacco grown in this vicinity
must be bought at a price that will
permit of its being sold for «xport,
or at export prices.
The first rain of the year began
falling early yesterday morning and
continue all day. Should it con-
tinued through to day, it will bring
what tobacco is hanging into good
case.
In old goods conditions remain
about as inactive as in former
weeks. A. N. Jones sold 200 cases
of 1900 to eastern buyers. The
rest of the business is made up of
small lots sold to manufacturers. —

THE PIPE DREAM.
[Concluded from page 9]
which serves to connect his name
with this veracious tale is of fore-
most importance in the history of
the pipe.
In the last town which the Piper
had visited before coming to Hame
lin there was a law against peripa-
tetic harmony such as he dispensed
So he came on to Hamelin "dead
broke," but resolved to earn some
thing in this historic village by the
exercise of his ingenuity. He posed
as a sorcerer, and as the people
were very superstitious in those
days, he was believed and feared
The first thing he did was to clear
the place of rodents as St. Patrick
treated the snakes in Ireland. But
it was not the charm of his music
that enticed the rats into the river
His playing was a poetic subterfuge.
He carried a seven year old lim-
burger cheese in each pocket, and
Hamelin rats doted on limburger as
a delicatessan. As for the kidnap
ping of the children, that part of
the legend was impossible, since we
are told on reliable authority that
they had all been excused from
school that day and were enjoying
themselves at the circus.
The real truth of the tale is that
the Piper of Hamelin left the vil
lage after the advanture with the
rodents and began his long walk
toward his next stopping place
On the way he grew tired and lay
down under a spreading chestnut
tree, where he fell asleep. Now
comes the interesting part of the
story, ever to be remembered in the
annals of pipedom. While Hamelin
lay there soundly sleeping in open-
mouthed oblivion, with his pipe
stuck in his waist band like a dag
ger, two jovial youngsters came
along, and seeing him resolved to
play a practical joke upon him.
They took the pipe without disturb
ing the sleeper, filled it with dry
chips and leaves, and setting fire to
one end they placed the other end
Into the open mouth of unsuspect-
ing Hamelin, where it stood upright
like a smoking chimney from the
roof of a house.
The pipe began to burn steadily,
and the Piper began to dream a
dream the like of which never a
mortal had dreamed before. It was
a pipe dream. He beheld in a sort
of vision what was destined to be-
come a fragrant and soothing com
panion of mankind forever after.
And he awoke when the dream be
came so hot as to be too realistic,
and saw the vision realized and at
hand, or rather, at mouth. From
this incident the real pipe, not the
musical instrument, derived its
name, and hence the Pied Piper of
Hamelin will go down to immortal
fam« and be accorded the everlast-
ing love of all true devotees of the
meerschaum and the briar wood.
We may end this history by quot-
ing from Byron, who used to smoke
a pipe himself while he wrote poetry .
He says of the fragrant weed:
"Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe
When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich,
and ripe;
Like other charmers, wooing the caress
More dazzlingly when daring in full dress;
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties— give me a cigar!"

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Tin Foil Wrappings (or Cigars.
The Commissioner has approved
the use of a box of 50 cigars, prop-
erly labeled, branded and stamped,
the cigars being put up in bundles
of five each, wrapped in tin foil and
tied with ribbon, cautioning the in-
terested parties that the bundles of
cigars must remain in the stamped
box until sold and delivered to
consumers.
Repacking Damaged Cigars.
A cigar dealer having on hand a
quantity of cigars damaged by fire
has been advised that such cigars
could be placed in the hands of a
qualified manufacturer for the pur-
pose of having them reboxed and
restamped; and, further, that the
manufacturer receiving the goods
on his premises must properly ac
count for the same on his Book 73,
and monthly return. Form 72, and
that he could thereafter receive
credit in that account for the num-
berof cigars repacked and restamped
and delivered to the owner.
Sample Cigars.
A cigar manufacturer, who de
sired to take cigars from stamped
packages and repack the same in
pouches containing one, two or
three cigars each, for delivery by
his salesmen as samples, or for |
transmission through the mails for 1
the same purpose, was advised that ;
there is no provision of law or regu-
lation under which a manufacturer
or a dealer in cigars would be priv-
ileged to solicit trade by sending
out unstamped sample cigars put
up in boxes, or other packages con-
taining a less or a greater number
than required by law to be placed
in each box, nor is it permissible
for a manufacturer or his agent to
repack any number of cigars in un
stamped pouches for delivery on a
subsequent date to dealers or con
sumers, but that such cigars as are
intended to be distributed to the
trade gratis must be delivered di-
rectly from the stamped box.
Repacking Stamped Tobacco.
A manufacturer has been granted
special permission to remove 2,300
pounds of tax paid tobacco from
eight ounce packages, in the pres-
ence of a Deputy Collector (who
should destroy the stamps) and
thereafter rework, repack and re
stamp the tobacco, and make a
claim for the value of the stamps
first used and destroyed. Evidence
must be submitted showing whether
such stamps had been affixed and
canceled previous to the 1st day of
July, 1901, and subsequent to June
13, 1898; and, further, whether this
taxpaid tobacco was on hand,

Sale of Pcriqac Tobacco.
A tobacco manufacturer, who,
desired to sell unstamped Perique
tobacco to other manufacturers for
use in the manufacture of other
styles of tobacco, was advised that
section 3362, R. S , does not men-
tion torquettes of Perique, which is
a diflfertnt style from that manu-
factured in carots; but that while a
change has been made in the style
of this tobacco, there has been no
change in the law, and that the
office is without authority to pre-
scribe a regulation providing that
such torquettes of Perique may be
regarded as an unmanufactured to
bacco material; and, further, that it
is not disposed to class this tobacco
as leaf, permitting its unrestricted
sale by the producer to a qualiSed
dealer in leaf tobacco, or resale by
a manufacturer, as provided by
section 33^)2, relating to the sale of
cuttings, clippings, etc. Further,
that Congress alone can provide a
statute allowing this tobacco to be
resold by the purchaser without the
payment of tax.
ing not more than three pounds per
thousand, and one for cigarettes;
and that if he makes two classes of
cigarettes, one being tax-paid at
the rate of $1 08 per thousand, and
another being tax paid at the rate
of 54 cents per thousand, he may
keep a separate book for each class
and render monthly returns. Form
72, for each class. It was further
advised that the large cigar account
should show the actual quantity of
all stemmed and unstemmed leaf to-
bacco, scraps, cuttings and clip-
pings received at the factory, and
the quantity sold or returned, and
that the several monthly returns on
Form 72 should show the number
of small cigars and cigarettes, re-
spectively, manufactured and sold,
and the numberand value of stamps
purchased and used; and that where
a manufacturer makes several
classes of goods, paying diflferent
rates of tax, his accounts will be
credited with five pounds of un-
stemmed leaf tobacco or three
pounds of stemmed leaf, scraps,
cuttings or clippings, used in man-
ufacturing one thousand small cigars
or cigarettes; and if thereafter any
deficiency appears in the material
account it will be ascertained and
charged to the large cigar account;
and that when his accounts are ad-
justed those relating to small cigars
or cigarettes will be first squared and
the deficiency made to appear in the
account of the manufactured cigars
weighing more than three pounds
per thousand.

Fac-similc Rcprodactions of Stamps
In regard to facsimile reproduc-
tions of Internal Revenue stamps
the Commissioner recently had oc-
casion to call the attention of inter-
ested parties to section 3397 which
makes it unlawful for any person to
affix on any box containing cigars
a stamp in the similitude or like
ness of an Internal Revenue or
customs stamp, and that facsimile
stamps could not be used in that
connection. It was further advised
that section 5430, R. S., imposes a
penalty on any person who prints,
photographs, or in any other man-
ner makes or executes, or causes to
be printed, photographed, made or
executed, any engraving, photo-
graph, print or impression, or like-
ness of any obligation or any other
security of the Government. Section
42. act of August 28, 1894, also
provides that if any person shall
forge, counterfeit or resemble, or
I cause to be forged, counterfeited or
resembled the impression, or any
I part of the impression, of any stamp,
shall be punished. In view of this
statute it was held that the repro-
[duction of a facsimile or photo-
graph copies, or prints of Internal
Revenue stamps for any purpose,
would be in contravention of the
statute.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
Packers and dealers in leaf to-
bacco are still riding to find some
ignoramus whom they can frighten
and bulldoze to an extent that they
can get his crop for less than one
half of its true value, and they come
from far and near, from New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago
and Wisconsin, all intent on buying
at filler and binder rates the hard-
earned crops of our toiling workers.
They have told lies enough to damn
anyone but a trtickling tobacco bro-
ker. The intelligent growers are
declining offers of 12 and 14 centi,
and the very considerate buyers are
giving from 15 to 18 cents, and
will soon have to pay more.
Our correspondents write :
Whately: "A few sales have oc-
curred here the past week. John
Kennedy sold at p. t , and Mrs D.
Callahan sold for 9c. It is thought
that no more lots can be bought at
previous low figures."
Conway: "A few more sales to
report. The Boyden Bros, sold to
Myers for 4c and 13c, assorted. J.
Newhall, 9c in the bundle. Only
a few crops left in town. Assorting
is nearly finished, and turns out
nearly one half light wrappers."
Montague: "The farmers of this
town are caught in the general stam-
pede. A. M. Lyman, 5 acres; Don-
elson & Brown, 2 acres, at lo^c in
the bundle, E. P. Goodel, i acre,
7c; J. R. Ball, 8>^c; Louis Koch,
sorted, 13c. Only three or four lots
are left unsold."

Northampton: "I was at North

have about 60 men assorting. They

large profit. I recently had some

they would charge for Brazil 30c,

and had to look farther. By these
figures we sec the great profit these
men make on our crop."
Shaker Station : "I hear of sales
of tobacco in this vicinity and in
Somers. Prices are still low, at
from 12 to 14c, while some badly
pole burned at from 7 to 9c. Some
sales have been made lately at from
12 to i6c. Some growers decline
to show their tobaceo at low rates."
Enfield: "The bulk of the crop
has been sold. The late sales were
made at from 10 to 16."
We are well pleased that so many
decline to show their crops, and
that so many are sorting and pack
ing their own tobacco. That is the
best course to take every year, and
let howlers howl. When it is nicely
packed don't let it be overhauled
by one of the crowd unless he can
offer more than twenty- five cents,
as it is all wanted at good prices. —

tion by the fact of the small per
centage of Havana wrappers on
which the Government has been
able to collect the wrapper rate of
duty. Think for a moment of this
statistical fact, that the total aver-
age duty paid on Havana tobacco
imported into this country is about
37/^ cents per pound. And this
must of necessity be so, when it is
borne in mind that Nature has de-
creed that Havana tobacco shall
not be like Sumatra, whereby the
leaves can absolutely be divided,
one into a filler class, one into a
wrapper class. Each manufacturer,
each appraiser, each expert who
looks at a bale of Havana tobacco,
classifies it from his own standpoint.
That which is a wrapper for one
manufacturer is filler for another,
according to his individual and
specific requirements. This must
be so from the fact that the divid
ing line between Havana wrappers
and fillers is an imaginary one, ac-
cording to the opinion of each in
dividual. Let any ten experts ex-
amine a bale of tobacco that is
classed as a bale of "workers" and
we assert positively that there will
be a diflFerence of opinion on the
percentage of wrappers that this
bale of tobacco will yield, so wide
in its difference that it can scarcely
be believed (even to the extent of
50 per cent.) and yet the Govern-
ment undertakes to appoint ap-
praisers that endeavor to determine
to a nicety the exact percentage of
wrappers contained in each bale.
Think but of it! If an appraiser
states there is 16 per cent, wrap-
pers in a bale, the Government ex-
acts $1.85 duty per pound for the
entire bale. If he states thert is
15 percent., we pay but 35 cents

per pound for 85 per cent, of it.
Have in mind this fact. For what
is this additional burden put upon
us? Why should it remain? Where
as the abolishment of a differential
rate and the adoption of a uniform
rate of duty would be not only of
material benefit and assistance to
us, but a direct aid to the Cuban
ptople, whom it is claimed in the
interest of humanity we must assist.
It would yield them substantial
benefit in many ways: the farmer
would receive more for his tobacco
under a uniform rate of duty than
he is to-day obtaining, not only
from a standpoint of the increased
consumption of Havana tobacco,
but owing to the fact that each
buyer who goes to purchase tobacco
in Cuba, under the existing dif
ferential rate, is compelled to buy
with the view of how the appraiser
may classify his purchases. The
result is that certain classes of to
bacco, that can be made very use
ful to the American manufacturer,
he is compelled to leave in the
hands of the farmer, owing to the
differential rate, thereby giving the
Cuban manufacturer an advantage
in purchasing, so these Cuban man-
ufacturers obtain this tobacco at
their own price, notably tobacco
known as Resago and Quebrado
grades, that the American manu
facturer has to regard as not being
worth the wrapper duty, therefore
they are worth nothing Irom the
standpoint of the American manu-
facturer, and yet very valuable to
the Cuban manufacturer, who ob-
tains them for a song, hence the
injury not alone to us, but to the
Cuban farmer, who is forced to
sacrific a part of his crop.
We assert that a uniform rate of
duty would substantially benefit the
Cuban farmer by enabling him to
obtain a higher price for his crop,
and also stimulate his efforts owing
to the increased consumption that
would occur for his product in this
country. His market would not be
confined, as it is at the present time,
for certain classes or grades to the
limit of the manufacturers on the
Island of Cuba, but would give him
the manufacturer of the United
States as an aggressive purchaser.
We confidently assert that a uni-
form rate of duty, within a short
space of time, would double the
acreage of tobacco planted on the
Island of Cuba.
We submit that the abolishment
of the dual rate would be of no ma
terial injury to any. but of great
benefit and assistance to the manu
facturers of all Havana cigars in this
country. Their business would no
longer be a gamble, dependent upon
the Customs' appraisements, but a
legitimate one.
In justice for all, and injury to
none, we, who have built up a large
industry in the last few years in
this country, that has materiall>
benefited, improved and elevated a
portion of the working classes, re
spectfuUy petition that the present
rate of duty on cigars be propor
tionately maintained, the import
stamp annulled and beg to submit
that a uniform rate of duty on Hav
ana tobacco will not only tend to
ameliorate the unjust conditions
under which we now labor, but
also offer unlimited opportunities
to the Cuban tobacco farmer.
A Cigarette Vagary.
In the smoke of my dear cigarito.
Cloud castles rise gorgeous and tall,
And Eros, divine mucbachito.
With smiles hovers over it all.
But dreaming, fornetting to cherish
The fire at my lips as it dies,
I The dream and the rapture must perish,
1 And Eros descend from the skies.
I, Oh, wicked and false mucbachito,
Your rapture I yet may recall ;
But, like my re-lit cigarito,
I A bitterness tinges it all.

not at all difficult. The Persians ;
will worship any body, provided they
have the privilege of murdering
him first. This is the tale of one
such hapless being.
In 1892 Shah Nasreddin, the
father of the present Shah, was be-
hind in his payments to an English
bank in Teheran. He owed more
that he could ever hope to pay out
of the revenues. The Englishmen
snggested that an easy and com-
fortable way out of the difficulty
would be to give an English syndi-
cate the exclusive right to buy and
sell tobacco in Persia. Nasreddin
yielded, and thereby almost lost
his throne. He had failed to take
into his counsels, ere embarking
upon this momentous affair, any of
his usual advisers, and the people
who took most umbrage were pre-
cisely the men of greatest influence
with the people, namely the mol-
lahs, or native clergy. Had Nas-
reddin, or had the English, but
taken the mollahs into their little
game, there would have been one
less tomb in Khorassan, and Barnes
Carew Carruthers might still have
been carrying the grip for the big
Liverpool tobacco house which he
had represented prosperously for a
great many years
also noted the presence in Khoras-
san of a number of Russians, their
own rivals for commercial supre-
macy in Persia. They communi-
' cated their misgivings to Carruthers
I in brotherly fashion, but the valiant
i bagman made light of their warn-
ings. Had not he faced mobs in
Ireland? What were a parcel of
: sheep eyed Persians, that he should
fear them?
He went forth with his samples
of Cavendish and Bird's Eye.
He never came back.
The people of Persia forced the
Shah to recall his concession to the
English, but before that they rnvr"
dered Barnes Carew Carruthers.
Then they erected a tomb to his
memory, and now they worship him
as a saint. A common fate of mis-
sionaries. Still, I don't think he
liked it. And his brands were such
good tellers, too!
It was the Mollah Hussein who
finished Barnes Carew Carruthers.
I That was according to the ritual as
■ it is understood in Khorassan. He
preached a lovely sermon over the
[ remains. He pointed out a beauti-
, ful knoll nearby as a site for the
i tomb, and with his own hands laid
i the cornerstone. It took the people
three years to get the necessary
funds together, but it was a very
creditable structure when it was
finished.
It is different from most tombs
of saints in Persia. It has no round
dome. The architect who was
commissioned to erect it happened
to be an original genius. He rum-
maged the effects of the martyr and
took for his model one of the little
almosnhe only buildings in Persia, a different tale to tell, or perhaps bags in which the employers of

During its entire career the firm
of Wm. Demuth & Co. has been a
manufacturer of briar and meer-
schaum pipes. The firm claims to
be the largest manufacturer of these
goods in the United States, and one
of the largest in the world. Its fac-
tory is complete in every way. It
is owing to the excellence of its
pipes that the old-fashioned preju
dice in favor of pipes made in Kng
land, France or Germany has largely
disappeared.
Wm. Demuth & Co. import every
block of briarwood or meerschaum
which they utilize at Brooklyn Hills.
The wood comes from France and
the damp earth, it is necessarily
moist, and those who gather it de-
sire always to get it off their hands
as speedily as possible. In the sec-
ond place, the wood, being heavy,
makes excellent ballast, and ships
plying between Italian or French
' ports and New York are always
glad to receive it as freight. It is
the laurel tree which affords the root
out of which briar pipes are made.
! As some one said long ago, or should
have said if he didn't, the leaves of
Apollo's favorite tree crown geni-
uses, and its roots, turned into pipes
and filled with tobacco, give them
solace and inspiration.
At Brooklyn Hills the root is sub-
jected to a process of slow drying.
A fact which pipe-lovers rarely un-
derstand is that in a briar it is the

found utterly useless. These are
the only pieces of briar which are
ever thrown away at Brooklyn Hills.
In making a briar pipe the first
operation is the cutting away of
surplus corners; the second is the
turning. Each turning machine
makes a bowl of a different shape.
The third operation, which is a very
interesting one, is so simple that
unskilled labor is competent to per
form it. This is the so called
"frazing," which is done by a push
machine. A long iron cylinder

the factory moist and requires to be
dried before it can be turned into a
pipe, meerschaum comes dry and
has to be soaked before it can be
treated by the pipe carver.
A meerschaum pipe of the quality
manufactured by Wm. Demuth &
Co. is the dearest possession of the
confirmed pipe lover, always ex-
cepting he be a devotee of the briar,

Books on Tobacco at Auction.
At the auction sale in Ntw York
city, recently, of the library of the
late William A. Hammond, Surgeon
General of the United States, a num-
ber of rare books on tobacco came
under the hammer.
The rarest of these was thus de-
scribed in the catalogue:
"Heroi D. Othoni Caimo I. C.
Mediolanensi CoUeg. Regis Cathol
oci Consiliatis. Regente Inclyto
Equite Comique Jo. Chrysostomi
Magneus. (Water stained.) Fron-
tispiece. 24mo, half morocco. Am
sterdam, 1669."
It went for $5 50, which in the
book market is considered a very
good price.
A poem on tobacco, from the
Latin of Raphael Thorns, an emi
nent physician of the seventeenth
century, by the Rev. Wm. Bewick,
an eighteenth century writer, went
for $3.50.
Rev. Benjamin I. Lane'i very in-
teresting "Mysteries of Tobacco,"
with an introductory letter address-
ed t« the Hon. John Quincy Adams,
LL.D , by Rev. Samuel Hanson
Cox, D D., pastor of the First Pres-
byterian Church of Brooklyn, N.Y.,
and printed at New York in 1851,
went for $1.80.
The other books were thus cata-
logued, the price at which they sold
being given after each of them:

Dr. Hammond's books on tobac-
ico are believed to have been the
largest collection ever gotten to-
gether by one individual. They
were all taken by booksellers, which
is significant.
One of Dr. Hammond's most in-
teresting books was what may be
called a burlesque Bible. It was
' published by the Soci^'te Anti Cler-
icale of Paris, and was copiously
illustrated by an artist who signed
his pictures Frid' Rick. His illus
tration to the creation of light — the
sublime "Let there be light" of the
Old Testament — showed a smiling
old gentleman in pyjamas, striking
a match for his pipe on his right
trouser leg.
The old gentleman is supposed to
be the Almighty !
The Lily Brand of Narrow Fabrics.
In another place to-day appears
the advertisement of F. C. Barton,
of 54 and 56 Franklin street, New
York, manufacturer of the well-
known Lily brand of cigar ribbons,
tapes and narrow fabrics for the
manufacturing trade. These fabrics
come in silk, silk and cotton and
all cotton. They are put up in long
lengths, some spools containing as
many as 1,000 yards and will be
found very convenient for tying up
cheroots, cigars, etc., in attractive
packages. Prices are guaranteed
to be reasonable. Mr. Barton will
be pleased to receive correspondence
and submit samples.
The States from the Cigar
Man's Point of View.

RHODE ISLAND.
"Little Rhody" enjoys one very
unique and interesting distinction :
It is the only State in the Union in
I which a cigar named after a vege-
' table of pungent odor is the most
popular of brands. This is the
"Onion" brand, manufactured for
the trade of Rhode Island for many
years past by the well known firm
of Gumpert Bros., of Philadelphia
This cigar, named in defiance of
all rule, its implied sarcasm aimed
at the old commonplace which long
ago persisted in calling cigars of a
certain quality "onions," won its
way at first by the very daring
which prompted the launching of
it under such a name, and has held
its own, nay, gained more and more
favor, by its excellence.
In their tastes in the matter of
cigars the people of Rhode Island
are very much like those of Massa-
chusetts. They favor the Londries
shape, and for the same reason that
the people of Massachusetts favor it
—they get the full body of the filler
at the first whifi". Like the people
of Massachusetts, too, the Rhode
Islanders delight in the old fash
ioned boxes containing respectively
250 and 500 cigars.
There survives in many a Rhode
Islander a strain of the seafarer and
the adventurer, and this beneath the
somewhat cold exterior of the out
ward man. Castaways from many
a tropic isle, in the romantic days
of long ago, found a home in Rhode
Island, and in many of their de
scendants of to day are to be found
not only the flashing eyes and the
brilliant colorings of their remote
ancestors, but a craving for tobacco,
the discriminating quality of which
is generally unknown among the
northern ptoples. This fact ac-
counts in some measure for the ex
tremely good judgment displayed
by Rhode Island smokers in the
matter of cigars, for, obviously, one
would not expect a Norseman to be
as good a judge of tobacco as a Cu
ban. It also accounts for the con-
tinued prosperity of the cigar job-
bers and retailers and manufacturers
of • • Little Rhody ' ' who cater to this
craving.
Fortunately for all concerned, the
people of Rhode Island are a pros-
perous and contented community.
The mills, factories and shops of the
State aflFord steady employment to
many scores of thousands of bright
men, who earn enough to enable
them to buy liberally at the counters
of the retail cigar dealers. The
larger cities of the State possess
excellent theatres, fine schools and
first-class newspapers, and this com-
bination invariably produces legions
of cigar lovers.

No. II Burling
The report of the treasurer of the
American SnuflF Co. published else-
where, has a greater interest this
year than documents of its character
usually have because it indicates I
the prosperity of a corporation cater-
ing to a class of tobacco lovers far
more picturesque in the past history
of the weed than they have been
conspicuous of late years. During
the calendar year ended December
31, 1 90 1, there were manufactured
in the United States 17,141,246
pounds of snuflF, as against 13,805,-
311 pounds manufactured during
the calendar year ending December
31, 1900.
It is explained that the great dif-
ference between the output for 1901
and the output for 1900 is due to
the fact that in 1899, when it became
known that a number of the largest
snuflF factories were to combine in
one corporation which afterward
took the name of the American
Snuff Co., jobbers and wholesale
dealers in snuff, loaded up with re-
sult, that in 1900 the demand upon
the factories was less than it would
have been under normal conditions.
An annual consumption of snufli
of over 17,000,000 pounds indicates
very clearly that the old fashion of
taking snuflf by the nose is again
coming into vogue. Those who are
j leading in this movement are said
I to be a large number of rich young
men in New York and other large
cities. It is not uncommon now-a-
days, and now-a-nights, for that
I matter, to see young men in eve-
I ning clothes at the theatre pull out
their snuflF boxes, take a pinch, re-
place the box and then brush away
the crumbs that linger, or that the
snuflftaker thinks linger with a
genuine old fashioned silk bandana.
OF The Tobacco World,
Slip, New York, Mar. 11, 1902.
Manufacturing jewelers will have
every reason to be grateful for the
return of the snuflf taking habit be-
cause the only article of jewelry
associated with tobacco which ever
had anything like a long experience
of popular favor was the snuflf box.
The jewelers of the seventeenth and
the eighteenth centuries very fre-
quently exhausted all their skill
upon some gorgeous snnflf box for a
King or a Pope, a Queen or some
other dazzling being, and in the
famous museums of Europe, espe-
cially in the wonderful Wallace col-
lection in London are preserved
many old time snuflf boxes remark-
able alike for their intrinsic value,
for the associations which cling
around them and for the rare and
oostly jewels with which they are
encrusted.
Jewelers have remarked frequently
the fact singular to themselves that
the very costliest cigarette box on
record is a mere trifle compared
with some even of the most modest
of antique snuflf boxes.
With costly snuflf boxes once
more in the pockets of the very rich
will come the opportunity of Ameri-
can snuflf manufacturers to get for
their finest product something like
the prices realized for its snuflf by
the tobacco regie of Portugal. Some
of the Portuguese snuflfs are said to
retail at $50 a pound.

Leaf brokers and leaf dealers are

in any type of leaf are not to be

search for anything that has quality

formation that domestic binders and

fine Vuelta fillers are hard to find,
and that the former, especially of
the Wisconsin type, are very much
higher in price than shoppers are
willing to pay.
The tip has gone forth that now
is the time to invest in imported
Havana tobacco, because, no mat-
ter what Congress may do in the
reciprocity matter, Havana tobacco
is bound to advance greatly in
price, because of the known short-
ness of the crop, and the poor
quality of much of it.
So far as actual transactions in
leaf for immediate consumption are
concerned the week has been an
ordinary one.

The United Cigar Stores Co. have
leased the entire building at the
southwest corner at Nassau street
and Maiden Lane, including the re-
tail cigar store at present occupied
by John Blakely, and will install
its own store there immediately
upon the expiration of Mr. Blakely 's
present lease, which still has about
' one year to run.
I The United Cigar Stores Co. is
about to open two very large retail
stores; one at the southwest corner
I of Broadway and Cortland street,
upon the premises utilized for many
years as a retail jewelry store by
Benedict Bros., and the other at the
northeast corner of Park Row and
Beekman street, which is about to
be vacated by the New York ' ' Press. ' '
The company will open a third
retail store on 125th street, just
west of Pabst's.
The company will also open a
factory for the manufacture exclu-
sively of clear Havana cigars at 107
East 125th street. The brand to be
manufactured there will be the
"Palma de Cuba," in the sizes
which retail at from 10 to 25 cents.
This factory will be under the per-
sonal supervision and managemeat
of Louis Biel.
The United Cigar Stores Co. has
also recently opened a store on
Rivers street, Troy.
At present the company is operat-
ing in this city, Utica and Troy,
altogether twenty stores. Mr. Biel
said last week that its present aim
is to secure seventy-five stores at
desirable points in this city. If its
compaign is successful in New York
city and the State, there is no doubt
but that the company will later
operate stores in Philadelphia, Pitts-
burg, and every important tobacco-
loving center.

HENRY ROSENWALD DEAD.
He Dies ot Cancer^ at the Hotel Metropole in Chicago.
Special to The T.obacco World.
Chicago, March i ( — Henry Rosenwald died of cancer, at the
Hotel Metropole, to-day.
Henry Rosenwald was born in
Bamberg, Bavaria, in 1847. He
was one of six brothers, four of
whom, Edward, Isaac, Henry and
Sigmund have been identified with
the cigar leaf business of New York
for over thirty four years. He
married Emma Hoflfman, daughter
of the late Emanuel Hoffman, and
sister of Joseph and Alexander
Hoffman, of the well known leaf
firm of E. Hoffman & Son. His
wife and their only child who is the
wife of Milton S. Guiterman, of the
law firm of Einstein, Townsend,
Guiterman & Shearn, survive him.
As husband and father, as mer-
chant, as citizen, as man, Henry
Rosenwald was in every way ad-
mirable.
The success and the great wealth
that came to him as the result of
his own efforts, for he started in
life with his brothers with but a
modest capital, were envied by not
one of the thousands who knew
him. His manners were engaging,
his representations always truthful,
his diligence in business an ex-
ample and an incentive to every
young man and most especially to
those with whom he loved to sur-
round himself. It is said of him,
without invidiousness, that he was,
all in all, the best salesman the leaf
trade of New York has ever known.
He was full of good will toward
all mankind and, like all the mem-
bers of his family, he gave most
freely to public and to private
charities.
The best appreciation of Henry
Rosenwald's character may be
I gleaned from this fact: when it was
determined that he should proceed
to Chicago in the hope that the
specialists there might effect his
cure, his nephew and business co
partner, Mr. Carl Rosenwald, in-
sisted upon accompanying him and
his wife, and in all the tedious
weeks of his final illness was in
constant attendance upon him.
This was a beautiful tribute of af-
fection deservedly won by the dead
man and cheerfully paid by his
nephew.
Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald and all
the members of his firm were kept
constantly informed of the progress
of Henry Rosenwald's malady and
Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, whose
affection for his brother was con-
stantly shown through the life time
of each, made several trips from
New York to Chicago during his
last illness.
It is the plain truth to declare
that Henry Rosenwald will long be
sincerely mourned by those who
knew him during his useful and
honorable career.

Annual Meeting ot the Phil-
adelphia Leaf Board
ot Trade,
President Young Re-Elected.
Delegates to National Convention
Appointed.
The annual meeting of the Phil-
adelphia Leaf Tobacco Board of
Trade was held on Tuesday after-
noon, with a good representation of
the trade present.
After the reading of the minutes
of the previous meeting, a resolu-
tion was offered by Julius Vetter-
lein, and seconded by E. A. Calves,
advocating a duty of 20 cents per
pound on all unstemmed leaf to-
bacco from Cuba, but its adoption
was defeated by a vote of 13 nays
to 5 yeas, after the matter had been
fully argued pro and con. In his
argument Mr. Vetterlein advocated
the measure in the view of a benefit
to the leaf trade, but was over ruled
by a majority of 8 votes.
On motion of F. Eckerson, and
amended by J. 8. BatroflF, the by-
laws were changed to make the of-
fices of Secretary and Treasurer two
separate positions. This motion
was carried.
The election of officers for the
ensuing year being next in order,
resulted in the unanimous re- elec-
tion of John R. Young, President,
George W. Bremer, Jr., Vice-Presi-
dent, and W. H. Dohan, Treasurer,
to which list was added J. S. Batroff
as Secretary.
Five Directors were also elected

In the Tobacco Capital of
Pennsylvania,
Lancaster, Pa., Mar. lo, 1902.
It has been just as dull here for
the last week as any whereelse. Sales
in old goods were comparatively
small and few, while the buying of
the new crop has practically ceased.
Those who have not yet purchased
much are expecting to get some at
lower prices than have prevailed.
During three days of last week the
country roads were impassable, and
on Friday last (for Friday is usually
receiving day) no tobacco at many
of the local warehouses was re-
ceived. On Saturday, however,
some was brought to town. The
leaf department of the American
Cigar Co. was the heaviest receivers,
something like thirty loads having
been brought to them.
John F. Brimmer is packing this

pied by Julius Marqusee.

Row, and a large line of samples
are to be on hand for the inspection
of prospective buyers. The ofl&ce is
to be conducted under the direction
of J. A. Peebles.
In consequence of the general
dullness among cigar manufac-
turers, the local cigar box manu-
facturers are also suflfering.
One of the exceptionally busy
establishments here is that of John
Slater & Co., and I have it from
Mr. John Hare, mi this firm, that
for the season of the year they were
never busier. Both January and
February showed an excellent in-
crease in their sales as compared
with the same period of last and
previous years.
J. G. Shirk, at 40 West Orange
street, announces that he will dis-
continue the general jobbing busi-
ness and confine himself wholly to
his special lines as manufacturers'
agent. He has a large line of goods,
and an increased force of salesmen
will be put on the road forthwith.
The new Mexican cigarette pro-
ducts of the El Buen Tono Co.,
which are being placed through dis-
trict representative J. G. Shirk, arc
taking well, and many ©f the prin-
cipal retail dealers here have put a
line in stock, among which are
Simon Shissler, the prominent N.
Queen street dealer. Students of
the Franklin and Marshall College
have been thoroughly and eflfec-
tlvely sampled with the new goods,
and already a good demand has been
created for them new goods.
M.M. Fry, leaf packer and dtaler,
returned on Saturday from a few
days visit to New York city.
HOW IT IS IN YORK.
York, Pa., March 10, 1902.
As usual during February and
March, the cigar manufacturers
generally are experiencing dull
trade; this, however, is no criterion
by which to judge trade conditions,
it is only a result.
The leaf packers are very busy,
as well as the dealers, who are like-
wise enjoying good trade, notwith-
standing the dull cigar trade.
George Kohler & Co., claim an
unrivaled success for a new produc-
tion, the "Boveda," a full Havana
cigar which sells to the jobbing
trade from $50 to $100 per thousand,
according to size. These cigars, as
well as the much advertised "Gen.

The representative of the Patent
Tobacco Binder Co., located in
Brooklyn, was in York looking
•fter the interests of their machine,
several of which have been placed
among York leaf men.
Thesevere snow storm of Wednes-
day, which blockaded trains and
disabled business, was also respon
sible for the plight of a prominent
cigar manufacturer from Hanover.
As the nearest place to procure the
necessary lawful papers toward
making man and wife in Hanover,
is York, and as it happened that
this particular manufacturer found
himself in York on Wednesday for
that especial purpose, what more
unfortunate circumstance could take
place than to be informed that trains
had ceased to run for some time;
snow still continued to fall, and the
brideto-be anxiously awaiting in
Hanover the consummation of pre-
liminary details, and the speedy
retura of the happy man? The
Good Sumaritan dealer who enter-
tained this "benedict" failed to in-
terest him in wrappers, binders or
fillers; his heart as well as his stock
seemed to be filled. The joke,
however, did not materialize prop-
erly, as with the end of the storm
by noon and reestablished service on
the railroad, the joyous ceremony
was performed on time, and the
happy couple sped away for Phil
adelphia and New York.
C. C. Kohler will in the near
future open a cigar store In the
room formerly occupied by Charles
Beck, on West Market street. The
room is being handsomely decorated
and repainted on the outside, and
will no doubt make a splendid stand
for the cigar business. Mr. Kohler I
is a cousin of George A. Kohler, of I
G. A. Kohler & Co., of this city.
We don't like to express B. S
Taylors' exact opinion of the cigar
situation at the present time; never-
theless he evidently finds it some
what dull, according to his conver-
sation; a dLfferen* condition, how-
ever, exists with the tobacco busi-
ness, which he claims is very good
Henry F. Kohler, of Nashville,
states that he has received during
the past week orders for 50,000 of
his 5 cent cigar, the "Happy Jim."
A GOOD PLACE TO STAY.
For a number of years it has been ,
a current saying in Philadelphia, j
that if you desire a position with ;
the only tobacco manufacturers in
the city, Frishmuth Bro. & Co.,
there must be a death among the
male hands, or some of the girls
must marry a man who objects to
her working any longer in the fac-
tory, for in no other way do va-
cancies occur. During the last two
years, Frishmuth Bro. & Co. have
lost by death two hands, one of
which had been in their employ a
little over 52 years, the other was a
later day saint, had been there about
27 years, they have in their employ
to day, over twenty persons, who
have been with them over or near
a quarter of a century. One has
but to visit this factory, to know
the reason why, no person employed
by them ever desires to leave; their
factory is well lighted, well venti-
lated, kept as tidy and neat as a
good housekeeper would keep her
home and the highest of wages is
always paid, besides they have with-
in themselves an organization
known as the "Frishmuth Bene-
ficial Association," of which the
head of the firm, John C. W. Frish-
muth is president. Through this
organization any employee of the
firm, draws when sick $5,00 per
week and in case of death $100,
during sickness, committees call I
upon them and see that they are
properly cared for and are provided
with necessary comforts, in fact
every employe of Frishmuth Bro.
& Co., counts him or herself a
men)ber of their family. When we
know these facts, is it any wonder
that Frishmuth Bro. & Co. have
been in the same business, in the
same place, for 92 years.
Moore Bros., a wholesale grocery
house of Lima, O., recently took
possession of a newly erected build-
ing on Market street and Lake Erie
Railroad. An increased stock of
both cigars aad tobacco is to be
hereafter carried.

Cuspidors In Railroad Cars.
The question of equipping the
passenger cars of thtir systems with
cuspidors is occupying the attention
of the Pennsylvania and Reading
Railroad officials. The State Board
of Health has passed a resolution
requiring that each smoking car be
provided with a cuspidor for every
seat, and one at either end of day
coaches. These receptacles arc to
be thoroughly cleansed and disin-
fected after each run. A penalty
for failure to comply with the reso-
lution, it is intended, shall be pun-
ishable with a fine.
According to^the Pennsylvania
Railroad authorities, 10,000 cuspi-
dors at least will be necessary on
their system to obey this rule should
the proposed requirement become
operative. The railroad authorities
will heartily co operate with any
movement, similar to that in New
York State, where a fine of $500 or
less, in the court's discretion, may
be imposed for each offence.
In support of its resolution the
State Board of Health cites statistics
to show that three- fourths of all the
men use tobacco, 80 per cent, ex-
pectorate, and 12,000,000 smoke.
News from Porto Rico.
San Juan, P. R., Feb. 25, 190a.
Tobacco has, as a rule done well
for several weeks, and looks promis-
ing; sowing has been continued in
various localities and transplanting
and pruming have been actively
carried on. In Southern Arecibo
district the plants are reported as
budding, while still small, requir-
ing too early pruning.
Mr. Gustave W. Priesing, the
contractor who has been superin-
tending the construction of the
Porto Rican American Tobacco
Co's. annex, has completed the
building. It was put up in remarka-
bly quick time, the work having
been begun on November 8. The
new structure is larger than the old
factory, to which it is connected.
It is a three story brick building,
169 by 50 feet.
A new cigar factory is being
opened at 18 Tetuan street, known
as the San Juan Import and Export
Company, and composed of Messrs.
Santos Buzaglo, Oscar Cohn and
E. J. Crocker.
The firm is advertising for cigar
makers and will start work as soon
as the men are obtained. Mr. Buz-
aglo is a Cuban who has had a cigar
factory in Chicago for 20 years.
GuRABO — A great deal of tobacco
has been planted around here. Many
are carrying water to keep the
plants alive because of the extended
dry spell. No rain has fallen for
more than a month and the ground
is very dry.
The Havana of the Orient.
In tobacco exports Manila is the
Havana of the Orient. In fact it
is about the only port in the world
that sends tobacco to all points of
the compass. Its cigars and leaf
are popular along the neighboring
coasts of China and Japan; it sends
them south to all the east coast
ports of Australia, east across the
Pacific to our own ports and its
largest stream of all unites with
those from Sumatra, Java and th«
west coast of India to flow west
through the Sue* Canal, on to Bar-
celona and through the Strait of
Gibraltar to the countries of north-
west Europt.

Reading, Pa., March 8, igoa.
Edwin R. Kerper, who recently
purchased the cigar store of Storm
Miller, at 510 Penn street, has taken
full possession and will shortly
make a new departure. About
April ist Mr. Kerper intends man-
facturing all of his own brands
or his cigar store, and will carry
on the business on the second floor
of his present building. The place
will be equipped throughout with
all the latest facilities for manu-
facturing purposes, and Mr. Kerper
is confident that he can educate his
customers to smoke many popular
brands he intends making.
At the next term of the Berks
County Criminal Court, seven more
slot machine cases will be disposed
of. All of the parties arrested are
proprietors of cigar stores, and the
likelihood is that they will be let
off upon the payment of a fine with
the charge held over them for their
futmre obedience to the law.
Quite a large number of Porto
Rican cigars and cigarettes are be
Ing sold in Reading and vicinity.
A number of the dealers are hand-
ling them and say they have a large
patronage for this class of goods.
John G. Spatz, of Spatz and Co.,
is home from an extended western
trip, having secured a number of
large orders for high-grade, hand-
made cigars. He reports trade
•quite brisk in the west, and believes
that this year will be a good one
for the cigar trade generally.
The windows of the cigar store
of Tom P. Moore, 501 Penn street,
are handsomely decorated with a
fine display of the "Robert Burns"
cigar of all sizes and shapes. Mr.
liloore sliows good taste in decorat-
ing his windows, which are among
the most attractive in the city.
The cigar store and factory of
Edwin G. Readinger, at 4[8 North
Sixth street, was broken into and
robbed of quite a lot of cigars, ci-
garettes, a missionary box placed
there for benevolent purposes, and ,
numerous other trinkets. Jacob:
Weitael and William Haas were'
arrested charged with the robbery, I
and were committed to jail. The
latter made a clean breast of the
ffair. Alderman Sandt issutd the {
warrants. This is the second time
that Mr. Readinger's factory has
been robbed.
Lewis M. Farling, who recently
disposed of the goodwill, stock and
fixtures of his cigar store at 419
Penn street, to William Moyer, to
engage exclusively in the manu-
facture of cigars, opened a factory
in the rear of his old business stand ,
and has remodelled the place
throughout. Mr. Farling is meet-
ing with great success since he
retired from the retail trade, and
will endeavor to double his sales on
the "Athletic," and "419" nickel
brands this year.
Lengel & Ernst, Rosenthal and
West Button wood streets, are work-
ing on full time and predict a very
brisk spring trade. Jerome Lengel,
the senior member of the firm, is
home from a successful Southern
trip. He met with great encourage-
ment and secured many orders.
The firm enjoys a large run on its
new creation, the "Floradelphia,"
a nickel brand, and the "Tulpe-
hocken," a locent cigar.
Blachman & Nagle, 116 North
Ninth street, are keeping right
along with the times, and report the
outlook for the spring trade as be-
ing exceptionally bright. Paul H.
Blachman, the senior member of
the firm, recently returned from a
successful business trip through
some portions of Eastern Pennsyl
vania. The firm's leading sellers
are the "Ouda," a 10 cent cigar,
and the "Cinq" and " Pride-of-the-
Cafe," nickel goods.
S. Sidelsky has moved his cigar
store from 28 South Sixth street,
to 10 1 South Sixth street. He oc-
cupies the large building formerly
occupied by the Excelsior Laundry
Co. Mark Rubin is the manager
of the new store. The new place
has been remodelled throughout,
and a pool room added.
A busy industry is the M. H.
Taylor Tobacco Co. Carpenter
and Cherry streets, 12 hands now
being employed. A specialty is
made of the "Union," "Safety"
and "No- Butts." Over a ton of
butts are turned out each week and
are shipped to all parts of the
United States. Several new brands
may be placed on the market next
spring.

THE TOBACCO WORLD
MAKE MORE,
^^ CIGARS ^ ^
Your natural ambition is to make more cigars,
better cigars, liandsomer cigars and to do it in
the most economical manner.
We have a cigar makers' table that will
permit \'ou to satisfy your ambition to the full.
It is the OuBrul Dieless Suction Table.
Its chief merit is wrapped up in that word
a
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 wa\ after tht^ wrap-
per is cut. The knife does
far better work than an\'
die. It is easier to keep
in propt-r cutting condi-
tion—it needs no adiustment — it will never roll
up, nor tear a wrapper, no matter how sticky,
and never leaves a white streak on the k^(\i^Q
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.
&7
The freedom from obstruction induces palm-
work instead of linger-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. Thev will not work
on other tables if they can get work on this.
This Table does away
with all the obiections
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 havf an\- other
tables, even if he got
them for nothing.
But in case you don't
agree with us, we beg
to remind \'ou right here
that we can sell >'ou the best table with
dies, and you can see both styles side by side
at either of our offices.
We cant tell you all about it here because
it is a long story.
A letter from you will bring full infor-
mation.

Western Tobacco Reports.
EDGERTON, WIS.
The movement in last season's
crop, induced by the more moderate
sales of medium priced goods, is
gaining some headway in many of
thegrowing sections. There seems
to be a disposition among growers
to grant some concessions in price
which is leading to more activity
among the buyers. The week has
witnessed the lifting of quite a
quantity of the medium quality
goods and the movement bids fair
to increase under these conditions.
The most important sale of old
leaf for some time is the reported
purchase by the American Cigar
Co. of 3063 cases of tops from F. S.
Baines' 1900 packing. L. B. Carle
& Son have sold 200 cases of 1900
binders.
The deliverits of the recent pur-
chases have been coming to the
warehouse quite liberally of late,
putting to work morehelp than here-
tofore employed. Casing weather

There is a trifle more activity
noticeable in the buying of the crop
of 1 901, but buying has not become
general by any means. In a few
sections there are more crops being
sold than for several weeks past.
In the immediate vicinity of Janes-
ville the sales drag at a slow and
tardy pace.
The farmers are still continuing
to assort and case their tobacco to
await a change in the market, be-
lieving the conditions will be more
favorable later on. In old goods
one of the largest sales ever made
in this city was consummated this
week when Frank S. Baimes sold
3,065 cases of the growth of 1900
to the American Cigar Co. through
its state agent, N. B. Strause, of
Madison. Although the price is
not made public, the total amount
involved is not far from $125,000.
The lot included all of the tops or
best grades in a packing of 6,000
cases. Aside from this sale the
market was uneventful.
There is some increase in the
number of employes engaged in as-
sorting tobacco, but the number is
far from that of former years. —

is yet fixed on the various grades.

A Critical Examination.
Many cigar manufacturers who
have looked into the merits of the
Grathwol Telescope Leaf Tobacco
Kaser, have unqualifiedly pro
nounced it a success, in fact it has
in many instances been established
as an indispensable factory ap
pliance. It is claimed by some of
the best authorities that this method
of Kasing is a pronounced success,
because it really accomplishes what
many other appliances have failed
to do.
Mr. Grathwol, the manufacturer
of the apparatus, at Troy, N. Y.,
calls the special attention of manu
facturers to the adaptability of the
device for moistening hard and dry
tobacco without opening or shakiiig

Among the Tobacco Shops of Porto Rico.
Special Correspondence of The Tobacco World.
Prottsses o( Cigit ManDfactntc lUnsttatcd.
The accompanying sketches were
made by the writer from the tools
and devices employed by the native
cigar makers of Porto Rico. Evi-
dently there is a brilliant future for
the cigar and tobacco industry on
the island. There are a large num-
ber of persons engaged in the busi-
ness, and the tobacco lands are be-
ing extended by the plantation
owners who are enlarging the fields
A number of Americans are looking
into the industry, and during the
past few years quite a large amount
of foreign capital has been invested
in the tobacco growing sections.
But we shall refer particularly to
some of the facts which came di-
rectly to the observation of your
correspondent.:
I found that the work in the fields
and the shops was handicapped by
lack of proper equipments. In the
processes of cultivation much of the
old-fashioned and remarkably crude
apparatus is employed. Apparently
there ought to be a good request for
modern forms of cultivating devices
in the island. Harvesting apparatus
is as scarce, so far as up-to-date
machinery is concerned, and one
sees natives employed at the old
manual descriptions of machines.
One redeeming feature is the low
expense of manual labor. The
plantation owner can hire any num-
ber of men and women at a very low
wage rate and figure upon getting
good work.
It is the same in the shops where
the tobacco is worked; there is a
noticeable lack of improved devices
to work with. In figure i is shown
a type of knife of native fashioning
which is usually employed for cut-
ting the tobacco leaf on the boards.
The blade is rounding and the edge
is kept very keen. The knife and
handle is ordinarily manufactured
in the island by the tobacco- appar
atus supply men. The manner of
trimming the leaf is shown in figure
2. It is flattened out nicely with
the fingers upon a plain smooth
board. Sometimes the process of
trimming and shaping for rolling is
at once effected and the leaf used.
Again the leaf is sometimes stretched
over the smooth flat surface of the
board and the edges pinned, holding
the leaf out flat. The leaf is occa
the usual manner, and in addition,
one sees little quills, made of bam-
boo, utilized for the same purpose
as in figure 3 In this sketch we
show one end of the quill or tube
marked b, the other end d, and the
two ends are partly closed over the
endsof the cigar, c. When the ends
are tightly closed, the cigar is wholly
protected.
In figure 4 is an odd kind of bam-
boo tubing mouthpiece which your
correspondent saw. The larger por-
tion, marked e, receives one end of
the cigar and holds it, while the

and the fumes drawn thrpugh from

An Eye to Advertising.
The tobacco workers of the island
have an eye to advertising. In
many instances English reading

it is fully stretched and smoothed,
and is in shape for use.
Some Ways of Delivering Cigars and
Cigarettes.
The native cigar and cigarette
makers of Porto Rico have some
peculiar methods of putting up the
finished stock. The cigar boxes
and the cigarette cases are used in
guage and spelling is often ridicul
ous. The native sometimes asks a
soldier of the army to produce a
sign, and the soldier, in a humorous
mood, complies, and some very odd
combination may be the result of
his attempt at sign making. How-
ever, the majority of advertising
signs of the native tobacco manu-

facturers and dealers are properly

a common form of sign. The word-
ing is usually painted in hair line
letters upon smooth boards or sheet
metal . The latter material is a use-
ful article in the island for roofing
purposes.
Artistic Cigat and Cigarette Boxes.
We will next call altention to
some of the artistic forms of cigar
and cigarette boxes used by the
Porto Rican manufacturers of to-
bacco. Your correspondent has
traveled in many of the tropical
countries in which tobacco is hau-
led, but has never seen so many
varieties of cigar boxes in use as
may be found in Porto Rico.
Some of the boxes are far more
costly than their contents. There
are, of course, very many of the in-
expensive and ordinary forms of
boxes made in the islands and used
for the regular lines of products.
There are cigar box factories in
which only the standard patterns of
boxes are turned out. But we refer
particularly to the types of fancy
hard wood cigar and tobacco boxes
which the rich planters and higher
classes of natives are pleased to pur-
chase when they desire to present a
box of cigars to a notable person or
friend. Some of these intricately
designed and carved boxes are
valued at $10, $20 and $25, accord
ing to the size, quality of wood and
character of design. Experts are
employed in the making of these
boxes The stock is hard, close
grain, and of course much thicker
than the ordinary lumber used in
making boxes so as to give the de
signer a chance to cut into the sides
and top. The designs are sketched
on and then the wood carver pro-
ceeds to cut out the floral or other
description of figure. In Figure 6
is presented one type of the artistic
cigar box. Ex Soldier.

"Pipe."
O word, expressive of so much !
You indicate the cheery robin
Who finds the ivied porch is such
A pleasant shelter to hob-nob in;
You bring us water at a rated cost,
And when it freezes you're a perfect frost.
You take a moderate draught of wine
Two hogsheads are your legal measure;
Within the Scotchman's grip you pine
And wail, or so it taems, displeasure;
You set the jocund step for reeling gillies
As when young Strephon played to Amy-
ryllis.
My wife abhors you, yet admits
Your presence in the house she graces,
And takes by desultory fits,
To cleaning out your dirty places;
But then she's bound to me for worse or
better.
And knows I loved you long before I
met her. [Punch.
Confidence In Shade Growing.
Edward Eggert, who owns a
bond for a deed of the Eggert farm
in Bloomfield and Windsor, Conn.,
containing fifty five acres of land
with dwelling houses, and all ac
commodations for growing tobacco,
makes this proposition: He pro-
poses to let for a year with option
of right to renew the same for fire
years, said farm, a company to be
formed with a capital, say of $40,
000, the lease to be at the rate of
|a,500 a year. He will assign his
bond for the deed to the company,
so that if he does not buy the prop-
erty by February 2, 1903, the com- 1
pany can protect itself by purchas-
ing the farm on* the same terms.
He will enter into the employ of the
company and superintend the grow
*tig of shade tobacco for the season
of 1902 for all profits of the com-
pany over 100 per cent. He figur:s
that his profit would be $5,000,
while the company would make
$35,000 on its investment of tht
same amount. Although the esti
mate seems large, Mr. Eggert feels
confident that neither the company
nor himself runs any risk in predict-
ing such a profit on a prospective
crop.
[The above would show a possi-
bility of a profit of 100 per cent.,
and yet growers say any reduction I
of duty on Havana tobacco would
be ruin to them. — Ed]

Tobacco Insurance In Wisconsin.
For the past week State Rate
Adjuster Lancaster has been in
Janesville, inspecting the different
tobacco warehouses, and has noti-
fied most the warehousemen and
dealers that an advance in their rate
of insurance will be made shortly.
The reason given is that during the
year 190 1 tobacco risks showed a
loss of 300 per cent. The tobacco
dealers claim that this is simply a
change in the rate to allow the in-
surance companies to recover from
the immense fires in the east. They
are determined to fight any advance
in the rates.

War Tax Bill Defective.
The. House bill repealing the war
revenue taxes has been found to be
so loosely drawn and defective that
the Senate Finance Committee may
report an entire substitute for the
measure. It is not the purpose of
the committee to change the inten-
tion of the bill to repeal all the war
taxes, but only to put it into lan-
guage that will carry out that inten-
tion. The most serious defect is in
the tobacco schedule, which in the
form passed by the House would
not only remove the war tax, but
in all probability would also reduce
it below the rate which existed be-
fore the passage of the House bill.
It provides that the tobacco sec-
tion of the War Revenue Act, and
the amendments to it by the law of
March, 1901, shall be repealed, and
that in lieu of the tax of 12 cents
per pound now imposed by law on
manufactured tobacco, snuff, etc.,
the rates shall be 6 cents a pound.
The reduction made by the Act of
March, 1901, however, was not ac-
complished by specific amendment
and more tobacco and less hell."
As to Cuba's ability to raise tobacco,
this will be indefinitely extended if
only the Canarios who left the Is
land just before the acute stages of
the late war broke out can all be
induced to return. Happily, it is
said, they are returning.
The world hears very little of
these people, and yet they are said
by those who know Cuba best to
be beyond doubt the most capable
and most industrious farm laborers
on earth. They are intelligent; no
work is too hard for them; they un-
derstand tobacco far better than the
coolies of Sumatra or the farm
laborers of the United States un-
derstand it. They are so frugal
that they literally spend nothing at
all; so continent that they are al-
ways in the best of health, so well
behaved that if all mankind were
like them there would be no prisons
and no armies in the world.
They endure the climate of Cuba
better than other strangers, and it
is said that they save all their earn-
ings with the sole object of accumu-
lating the little sufficiency that will
ensure them ease and comfort in
old age in their own modest islands
far away.
It was feared for a while that the
Canary Islanders, disgusted with
the loss of Cuba to Spain, would
never again return to the tobacco
farms of Cuba, but this fear is now
said to have been groundless for
very many Canarios are already at
work in the tobacco plantations of
the Pinar del Rio and others are
arriving by each steamer.
Ireland's Cure for the Cigarette
Habit.
In the United States, for a num

The Invincible Suction Table.
Among the Smallest and I^ightest of All Tables.
It is now many years since suc-
tion tables for cigar wrapper cutting
purposes were first introduced, but
since their introduction there have
perhaps been more dififerent kinds
of tables brought to notice than
has been the case with any other
i apparatus intended as an improve-
ment— labor saving or otherwise —
I in cigar manufacturing. The name
! suction table has become well nigh
a password in many of the largest
establishments, and in at least a
I few cases they have been proven
; the nucleus of the success which
! was attained by the use of machines.

We have previously reviewed several
of these machines, and shall, there-
fore, now refer to the latest machine
on the market, viz "The Invinci-
ble," put out by William S. Gleim,
Lancaster, Pa. In this connection
we deem it quite appropriate to tay
that Mr. Gleim is the son of a well-
known cigar manufacturer of that
name who, until a few years ago,
had been in the business at Lan-
caster, and having been associated
with his father in the business, Mr.
W. S. Gleim may be said to be
a practical cigar man, having had
an experience which has no doubt
stood him in good stead in the
perfecting and launching of his new
mechanical device.
The writer has been privileged
to see a number of different suction
tables, but he is frank to admit that
"The Invincible" is certainly the
lightest and most compact device
he has yet seen, and yet he believes
that its strength has in no way been
endangered. It can be readily
seen by the accompanying illus-
trations that this device can be
placed on ordinary cigar makers'
benches, such as are now in use,
thus enabling the installationlof the
suction system in a short time and
at a comparatively small expense.
The manufacturer of the machine
claims for it the highestlmechanical i
In cutting the leaf it requires but
a light roller pressure upon the
sharp steel blade, which is bent in
a wrapper shape. In this operation
the leaf is laid over the suction plate
and is cut by a movement of the
swinging arm, thus running the
rollers lightly over the cutting blade
giving it a knife cut.
The wrapper cutting blade can be
removed and sharpened in a few
minutes, if necessary, by any oper-
ator of ordinary intelligence.
The size of the machine is only
1 8x1 1 inches, and the price is also
attractively low.
Manufacturers wishing to adopt
modern methods are invited to cor-
respond with William S. Gleim,
Lancaster, Pa., who will cheerfully
give prices and any farther infor-
mation that may be desired.
Death of Mrs. Charles E. Halllwell.
Mrs. Charles E. Halliwell, passed
away at lier home in the Minne-
waska. No. 2 West Eighty-eighth
street. New York, Tuesday, March
II.
She was the wife of Mr. Charles
E. Halliwell, First Vice-President
of the Continental Tobacco Com-
pany.
For a number of years Mrs. Halli-
well was a resident of St. Louis,
Mo., and only within the last three
years had she made her home in
New York city.
Born in London, England, the
daughter of James Ay res Brown, a
leading merchant of that place, she
came to America when quite young
and made her home in St. Louis,
Mo. It was there that she married
Mr. Halliwell.

Less than two weeks ago Mrs.
Halliwell, accompanied by her
husband, had returned from a trip
to Cuba.
Arriving here Saturday she was
taken with a chill on the following
Tuesday night, when pneumonia
rapidly developed.
Despite the bept of attention and
medical science she passed away,
surrounded by her family and loved
ones. The suddenness of her death
will be a great shock to her many
friends.
While not a society woman, she
loved her own home circle, and the
companionship of her friends to
whom she endeared herself by many
kindnesses of her own generous
nature that will cause one and all
of them to revere her memory.
Blessed with a happy disposition,
a most charming manner, and a
heart ever open to those she loved,
it is no wonder her loss is so sin-
cerely mourned.
Miss Mabel Halliwell and Mr.
Walter Halliwell art left to share
the loss with Mr. Halliwell.
Rev. Dr. Mackay, of the Fifth
Ave. Collegiate Church, conducted
the funeral services on Saturday
morning from Mrs. Halliwell's late
residence.
In the Tobacco Capital of
Pennsylvania,
Lancaster, Pa., Mar. 17, 1902.
A rather dull week was again re-
ported by our local dealers and
packers. More tobacco, however,
was received last Friday than on
the previous week, but buying is
now at a sort of a standstill. Sales
of old goods made during the past
week were of small lots, presumably
needed for immediate use.
M. Rosenthal & Co. have pur-
chased the packing of A. B Groff,
at New Holland, consisting of about
500 cases.
Tobacco and cigar men will again
be in evidence in jury duty at the
Spring term of Court. We find
them as follows:
Grand Jury, April 21:
John P. Eager, tobacco dealer,
Strasburg township.
Geo N. Allebach, city, cigar
manufacturer.
Quarter Sessions, April 21:
John J. Carroll, cigar dealer,
Marietta.
F R. Diflfenderfer, tobacco editor
of the "New Era."

Common Pleas, May 26:
Jacob Bamberger, tobacco dealer,
Warwick
Henry S Ruttcr, tobacco dealer,
Leacock.
The large tobacco barn of E. H.
Kauffman, on Harrisburg pike just
outside of city limits, was burned
and totally destroyed with its con-
tents last week. The loss, it is
stated, will be not less than $15 000.
Mr. Kaufmann had 3^2,500 insur-
ance on his barn and $i,coo on its
contents.
Dr. J. F. Mentzer, trustee for the
bankrupt estate of H. B. Bitzer,
formerly a cigar manufacturer, has
brought suit in equity against M.
L. Weidman, a leaf dealer, seeking
an accounting of about $10,000
worth of leaf tobacco transferred to
him by Bitzer about four months
before his adjudgment, as an invol-
untary bankrupt, which it is alleged
was done at a time when Bitzer
! knew he was insolvent and thus
gave Weidman preference over
other creditors. It is therefore
sought to compel the defendant to
retransfer the amount to the bank-
rupt estate.

Sea-Sick Cigars.
"Since our troops have been in
the Philippines my friends among
the officers stationed there have at
frequent intervals remembered me
with boxes of Manila cigars," re-
marked a member of Uncle Sam's
fighting force who was severely
wounded at El Caney and is now
on the retired list. "I have learned
to prefer the tobacco of the far east
to the domestic brand and do not
see how I could now get along
without the fragrant Manilas.
"Recently I received a shipment
of cigars," he continued, "but they
proved a sad disappointment. In
fact, they seemed to me to be en-
tirely worthless. I puflFed at one
after another, but they simply could
not be smoked. In despair I finally
consulted a well known tobacconist.
The situation was no problem to
him. He promptly told me to lay
the cigars aside for a few weeks,
after which I would find them all
right. He was correct. When I
sought an explanation the tobacco-
nist assured me in all seriousness
that the cigars had been seasick
from the voyage across the Pacific
and needed rest.
"I have since learned," added
the officer, "that wines and liquors
are affected in a similar manner by
ocean shipment."

The first inscription of the season
of 1902 will take place in the Fras
oati, in Amsterdam, next Friday
The Kijdags, or inspection days, as
we say in English, were March 15,
17, 18 and 19. This year, as hap
pens almost every year, the tobaccos
to be offered on next Friday were
inspected a day or two before the
scheduled time, and this year, as
sometimes heretofore, advance opin-
ions of the 1901 Sumatra differ
One large importer was advised that
the new Sumatra is "dry in char

second was to the effect that the
crop was as fine in every way as
that of 1900, and that was a very
fine crop, indeed.

like a riot.

I require for their trade only the first
lengths and the finer colors.
Tobaccos are put up in parcels
each containing a large number of
bales in which all lengths, colors

The Frascati on an Inspection Day.
Prior to 1890, when the McKinley
tariff on imported wrapper leaf
went into effect, a great many more
American buyers were wont to at-
tend the inscriptions in Holland
than has been the fashion since.
The heavy duty on Sumatra makes
it possible for only the very wealthy
houses to buy this tobacco under
the conditions which prevail at the
inscriptions. These conditions are
somewhat singular. The inscrip
tion system is a Dutch invention
The tobacco plantation companies,
or Maatschappijen, as the Dutch
call them, copied the. system from
three brothers in Amsterdam and
Rotterdam who had been engaged
in the culture of coffee and indigo
in Java and Sumatra long before to
bacco growing was undertaken in
either island. An inscription is an
auction sale at which all the bids
are in writing, and at which the
holder of the merchandise reserves
the right to reject any and all bids.
In Amsterdam theinscriptions are
brokers are all sworn, and entirely
responsible men. The bids are ad-
dressed to the company, or "Maats-
chappij, which owns the tobacco.
For days before an inscriptian there
is the most intense excitement. It
is reported that for such and such
a parcel So and So is prepared to
offer so and so many gulden per
pound. Thereupon So and So's
competitors proceed to raise that
offer. The value of each parcel has
been previously appraised by a repre-
sentative of the owner. Very fre-
qitently the bids arc in excess of
the valuation. On inscription day,
at an appointed time, when the
large hall of the Frascati, now
cleared of the tables of samples with
which it had been crowded on in-
spection days, is multitudinous with
the would-be buyers, who have
come to Holland from America,
from Germany, from France, and
Austra, and even Spain to buy, a

The funeral of the late Henry
Rosenwald which took place from
the Temple F^manuel, Fifth avenue
and Forty- third street, at 9 30
o'clock on March 14 wasimpressive,
not only because of the genuine
sorrow of those who will long regret
the too early death of this noble
gentleman and merchant, but chiefly
because of the great number of
friends who came to New York
from far and near to pay this last
melancholy tribute to one whom
they had known and loved for many
years.
The pall bearers at Mr. Rosen-
wald's funeral were: Henry Rice,

The cigar and tobacco dealers of
this city have not yet experienced
any particular rush in spring orders
Naturally enough they are having
time to discuss the new schemes
which are soon to be operated in
connection with the "Floradora"
new three for ten cents cigar, which
is to be placed upon this market by
the American Cigar Co. Additional
advertising cards have been received
by the jobbers announcing the list
of premiums which will be given
for the bands, one of which will be
around each three cigars. That is
to say the "Floradora" will be put
up in a bundle of three cigars with
the band around the three. The
"Cubanola" cigar, which certainly
did have somewhat of a run for a
short time, does not seem to be
holding its own very well with most
dealers. Of course there are ex-
ceptional cases. One jobber re-
ported to the writer that with him
the demand for "Cubanola" cigars
had dropped off very greatly, while
another reports that with him the
sales have kept up well, and so on.
A very ambitious effort is undoubt-
edly to be made on the" Floradora , ' '
and no one can foretell the result.
The Eastern Cigar Box Manu
facturers' Association held its an-
nual meeting at Tagg's Maenuer-
chor Hall last week, re-electing all
its old officers, and making only
one change in its directorate, which
was the election of Mr. A. Thal-
heimer, of Reading. Pa , who suc-
ceeds Mr. Schier, of New York.
The members were so well pleased
with the meeting and the entertain-
ment given them by the entertain-
ment committee, that it was decided
to hold a semiannual meeting,
which is to be held in this city and
at the same place, in September
next.
Lafayette Cigar Co. is the name

H. M. Weaver, of H. M. Weaver

Sol. Rosener, the veteran cigar
salesman, was in this city last week
looking after the interests of the
Havana American Co., manufac
turers of the "El Principe de Gales."
While here he made his headquarters
with T. H. Hart & Co., who are the
local distributing agents of these
goods.
"Billie" Taylor, the popular
representative of the Punch factory
of Havana, who has just returned
from a visit to Cuba, was a recent
visitor here. Mr. Taylor accom-
panied M.J. Dalton, of this city, to
Havana, who, as per a letter just
received from him, is now in the
interior of Cuba, and is enjoying his
visit immensely. During Mr. Dal-
ton *s absence some elegant work is
being done in the distribution of the
"La Sistina" clear Havana cigar,
the goods having been placed
among a number of the leading
stores in Atlantic City, by M. J.
McDonnell, who is making weekly
visits there.

Chas. G. Artzt, who has been for
some time the local distributer of
"La Mia" clear Havana cigar of Y.
Pendas & Alvarez, has also taken a
line of the "Flor de Ybor," manu-
factured by V. Martinez Ybor's

A. C. Valentin, a well-known
jobber and dealer at 19th and Ridge
avenue, has planned a unique pleas-
use trip upon which he will start in
the near future, and will be accom-
panied by one of his sons. After
leaving Philadelphia, he will visit
Charleston, Atlanta and New
Orleans, and soon after returning
from there to Philadelphia, he will
start for a trip to Canada, Niagara,
Buffalo, and other interesting points
through New York state.

IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
When interviewed by the Para-
grapher yesterday, John R Young,
President of the National Cigar
Leaf Tobacco Association, expressed
himself as pleased with the possi-
bility of avoiding the disadvantages
of the present dock weight system
of entering leaf tobacco. The diffi
culty in having the dock weight
system corrected by legislation
seems to have been surmounted by
putting the matter on a basis of
percentage of moisture. Special
Deputy Collector J. J. Couch, of the
New York port, consents to the new
Idea, regarding it as practical, pro-
vided a legal standard can be estab-
lished as to what can be the normal
or merchantable degree of moisture,
and further states that if the per-
centage stated can be determined
upon by legislation or otherwise,
the question of an allowance for any
excess of moisture over the ten per
cent, (usual) for purposes of liquida-
tion can be readily ascertained in
the same manner as is now practiced
i in the treatment of wood pulp It
i would appear that this may open
the avenue to some legislative step
being taken to remedy the evils
ascribed to the dock weight system.
Business among the leaf men here
during the past week has been go-
ing on in a quiet way with a uum-
I ber of houses, showing possibly
more activity than during several
weeks previous.

Simon Shissler, a cigar manu-
facturer of Lancaster, Pa., brought
suit against the Pennsylvania Ware-
housing and Safe Deposit Co., of
this city, for a quantity of tobacco
which had been purchased from
Walter G Wilson & Co., prior to
Mr Wilson's death. It was ad
mitted, however, that the tobacco
had not been delivered nor had it
been paid for. The Pennsylvania
Warehousing Co., however, were
the real holders of the tobacco as
collateral. The tobacco was sold
at the public sale by the adminis-
trator of the estate, and Shissler
brought suit for the non delivery
of the tobacco A verdict was
granted in favor of the defendant

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The leaf market of this city may
be said to present this week a more
animated appearance than for some
time past. In fact, there has been
a spirited demand for some types of
goods, and the volume of business
was curtailed only on account of a
•"Carcity of leaf of that particular
type Dealers are inclined to be-
lieve that buyers will soon realize
the true situation, and that as a
consequence such other goods as
can be substituted will find more
ready purchases. Connecticut and
Pennsylvania Broadleaf have figured
conspicuously in this week's trans-
actions.
The Sumatra market has not
changed perceptibly. Transactions
have been few and of small pro-
portions.
The Havana market has been
steady and prices were firmly main-
tained.
HOW IT IS IN YORK.
York, Pa., March 17, 1902.
There is still considerable tobacco
in the hands of the growers, and
purchases are continually reported,
a large amount of which is received
in the city and either packed or re-
shipped to packing warehouses else-
where. R. D. Zeck received on
Thursday two carloads of tobacco
for Lancaster firms, and will on the
coming F'riday receive a large
quantity for S L. Johns, to be
shipped to the Mountville ware-
house.
W. C. Jackson, the former senior
partner of the firm of Jackson &
Leber, has withdrawn from the firm
since February, and will in the
future buy and ship cigars exclu-
sively. Mr. Leber continues to
manufacture cigars at the place
lately occupied by the firm near
Yorkana.
We previously reported the early
erection of a large warehouse by J.
H. Stiles, the leaf dealer. It is
supposed that work will be com
menced in April on this warehouse,
which will include ample room for
storage purposes, and will be
equipped with all modern facilities
for handling tobacco. According
to plans already prepared, the esti
mated cost will be about $20,000
Samuel R. Kocher, from Wrights
ville, was a visitor to the city and
trade during the week.
Following the removal of the
Fulweiler cigar factory from Mari-
etta to York is the transferring of a
number of the workmen to York.
To accommodate these new arrivals
houses are being built and pushed
to completion in the vicinity of the
factory.
Jacob Doll, from Saginaw, visited
York during the week and an-
nounced that his business at present
is "ordinary" with "no kick com-
ing."
Gus Neuwahl is circulating
among the manufacturers for whom
he sells cigars. He is a broker,
and is located in Altoona, Pa.
The Meads HallerSnader tobacco
controversy, well-known to tobacco
men, is again under consideration
in the court since Monday last, oc-
casioning the presence in the city of
a number of manufacturers from the
'lower end" and dealers from Lan-
caster. From latest developments
it seems that great efforts are being
made to prove fraud in the judg-
ment given by N. G. Meads to his
wife, amounting to$i 800. Messrs.
Haller and Snader, having some
time ago received judgment against
Meads, issued an execution and at-
tempted to sell his real estate. Mrs.
Meads now claims priority by reason
of a previous judgment for money
of her own, purporting to have been
derived from the estate of her former
husband and earned by working,
and given to Meads. At the trial
it appeared that the notes given by
Meads while seemingly a number of
years old were apparently fresh
looking as to the writing. Great
interest is manifested in this case,
owing to the length of time it has
occupied in the courts, and future
developments will be closely
watched.

THB TOBACCO WORLD
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 l).:.Hru! Dieless Table.
We commenced to make
Suction Tables about five
years ago aiui \\'hile 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 ~ th^ d're^ 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.
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.

There is still no abatement in
the buying of new Zimmer, though
packers claim they are only buying
sufficient quantities to keep their
warehouse forces employed, and
expect to conclude their purchases
later at lower prices. The ruling
price paid during the past week was
IOC through, and instances are in
evidence where only 9c was offered,
but rarely accepted . Seedleaf is be-
ginning to be looked after more
than in the past, many crops being
sold during the past week at 6c to

of 7>4c and 8c reported by farmers.

much activity among the dealers.
The bulk of the orders are for the
medium quality goods for which
much lower prices are paid than
prevailed during most of the buying
season. As long as growers con-
sent to accept going figures there is
a chance for the immediate lifting
of quite a portion of the crop, re-
maining in first hands. Dealers are
not very enthusiastic over the bar
gains they are securing, even at the
present quotations.
Spring weather is upon us and
growers who have not yet sold or
arranged ior the handling of the
crop must do so soon. Quite a
large number of farmers, however,
have their assorting well along.
The market in cured leaf is rather
quiet. Aside from the usual move-
ment of small lots to manufacturers,

The market on breaks remains
quiet, with but little disposition by
sellers to offer only limited quantity
of the common and soft condition
tobacco. These do not attract any
attention from buyers. Fine op
portunity for stemmers to buy
cheaper than country purchases.
The loose market continues active
with large receipts. Bulk of the
crop will be delivered this month.
Hogshead receipts large and when
breaks open free I look for large
sales and active market. The
quality of leaf is so much better
than for several years prices should
be better in proportion. Lug per-

years.

75 hhds.; public and private sales 90 hhds.
The quality still runs low in
grade upon the breaks, the better
sorts being sold privately. The
market was stronger upon all sorts
except nondescripts. As the regu-
lar orders are entering the market
our warehousemen will offer more
freely as they have full stocks now

A GOOD PLACE TO STAY.
For a number of years it has been
a current saying in Philadelphia,
that if )ou dtsire a position with
the only tobacco manufacturers in
the city, Frishmuth Bro. & Co ,
there must be a death among the
male hands, or some of the girls
must marry a man who objects to
her working any longer in the fac
tory, for in no other way do va-
cancies occur. During the last two
years Frishmuth Bro & Co. have
lost by death two hands, one of
whom had been in their employ a
little over 52 years, the other was a
later day saint, had been there about
27 years. They have in their employ
to day over twenty persons who
have been with them over or near
a quarter of a century. One has
but to visit this factory to know
the reason why no person employed
by them ever desires to leave — their
factory is well lighted, well venti-
lated, kept as tidy and neat as a
good housekeeper would keep her
home and the highest of wages is
always paid; besides they have with-
in themselves an organization
known as the "Frishmuth Bene-
ficial Association," of which the
head of the firm, John C. W. Frish
muth, is president. Through this
organization any employe of the
firm draws when sick $5.00 per
week, and in case of death $.00.
During sickness committees call
upon them and see that they are
properly cared for and are provided
with necessary comforts; in fact
every employe of Frishmuth Bro.
& Co. counts him or herself a
member of their family. When we
know these facts, it it any wonder
that Frishmuth Bro. & Co. have
been in the same business, in the
same place, for 92 years?

The Harry Weissinger Tobacco
Company, of Louisville, Ky., has
declared a semi-annual dividend of
30 per cent., payable out of net
earnings for the last six months of
1901, making a total dividend pay-
ment for the year 1901 out of earn-
ings for that year of 60 per cent.
This company paid a 50 per cent,
dividend out of net earnings in 1900,
also a 50 per cent, dividend out of
net earnings in 1899, making a total
of 160 per cent, paid in dividends
the past three years, beside adding
each year liberally to surplus ac-
count. The dividend record of the
company indicates a most remarka-
ble example of successful and profit-
able tobacco manufacturing.

Eastern Tobacco Reports.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
It is quite evident that prices are
improving, and fully as evident that
they are yet far too low. No one
is foolish enough to believe that
when the packers started out to buy
the 1 90 1 crop of tobacco but what
they knew the condition of the leaf
market, as well as the largely in-
creased output of cigars; that the
market was practically bare of stock
and when they rushed around bar-
gaining for good crops at from 18
to 28 cents they knew just what
they were doing. The Wisconsin
crop was extremely short, and prices
for the 1900 crop had advanced
from 3 to 5 cents a pound; there
was every reason to go ahead and
secure all they could. Then came
the pole sweat, and then they com
menced the work of giving the
whole crop a black eye, and they
showed to the growers plainly
enough that they had no idea of
dealing honestly or preserving their
reputation for honest, upright deal-
ing. Consequent upon their course
a large portion of the growers sold
at what they could get, so the loss
to the Connecticut Valley is proba-
bly in excess of a million of dollars.
Soon the force- sweated leaf will be
in large quantities on the market.
Some lots have been sold at enorm-
ous prices, from 60 to 75 cents.
Our correspondents write :
East Gran by. Ct : "The work of
preparing forshadegrowing tobacco
is now the order of the day. The
prospect is that from two hundred
to two hundred and fifty acres will
be under cloth, if present plans are
carried out. A great quantity of
the needful timber is either on hand
or in process of delivery. About
the usual amount of acreage will be
set aside from the shaded."
Northampton: "A few sales con-
tinue to occur. Albert Hurlburt
sold 6 acres in the bundle at I4>^c
to a Westfield packer. Allen &
Abbot, 13c. A. S. Warner i^y2C
in the bundle to Meyers & Mendel-
sohn."
Whately: "Bela K. Crafts has
sold his 4 acres at p. t. This was
said to be a fine crop. There isn't
much left unsold, as the bulk of it
has been assorted."
SuflSeld, Ct.: "W. S. Pinney, of
this town, is making preparation
for putting up cloth shade for about
50 acres of tobacco this year. He
is of the firm of Olds, Whipple &
Pinney. He has received one car-
load of nails and expects two more.
He received 100.000 yards of cloth
as partly enough to cover the frame.
He expects to use about 30 carloads
of timber or lumber, besides quanti-
ties of other material for the grow-
ing of the coming crop of shaded to-
bacco."— American Cultivator.

There begins to be more of a stir
in the market as the result of the
improvement in the condition of the
roads. S. D Green, representing
J. Bunzl & Son, is still here and has
been riding nearly every day for the
past week. A. Heinke is reported
to have been buying. Dembo &
Haskins, of Syracuse, are in the
field for the new crop, and are re-
ported to have bought a number of
crops in the bundle. The prices
now prevailing range from 4 to 7
cents in the bundle. J. T. Skinner
has recently purchased the follow

Special Correspondence of The Tobacco World.
Fancy Cigarette Holders.
In figure 7 is a drawing ol a fancy
cigarette case wliich was shown the
writer and this case is a typical one
of the many kinds of artistic cases
in use . Often shell , ebony , mahog-
any or other hard material is selected
for making these cases and some of
them are exceedingly rich in ap-
pearance. The prices range from
fifty cents each to as high as $10.
The workmen are often placed in a
Httleroom divided oflF from the cigar
works and the purchaser may see
tkem at their labor.
Saadal Wood Gases.
Sandal wood has been an exceed-
ingly scarce article on the island for
a number of years, and yet enough
of the wood is found every year to
warrant the cigar box and case
makers in carrying a line of these
articles. The sandal wood is
brought in and sawed into the re-
quired sizes and shapes for making
the little boxes, which appear more
like ladies' handkerchief boxes than
cigar boxes.
A sketch of one of these boxes
is exhibited in figure 8. The box
is usually set up on elevated pieces.
The edges are trimmed with work
which is laid on, or sometimes the
work is inlaid. Often the effect in
design is handsome.
la the Line of Pipes.
I saw some odd kinds of pipes in
use in the island. There are all
torts of pipes in service, from the
clay to the corn cob, and since
American occupation, other de-
scriptions of pipes have been intro-
duced. Reference will be made
only to two or three patterns of the ^
oddest styles which I observed. In I
figure 9 is a type of pipe which
seemed to be out of the ordinary
run. It is made of a stony sub-
stance, very hard and the wonder like substance, evidently a composi-

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Cigats for Alaska.
The Commissioner has lately
had occasion to rule that the Inter-
nal Revenue laws of the United
States are in force in the Territory
of Alaska, and that all cigars made
in the United States for sale in
Alaska must be properly packed,
labeled and stamped by the manu-
facturer thereof before they are re-
moved from the factory.
AdvcTtising Matter with Cigars.
A cigar manufacturer, who de-
sired to place in his boxes some
loose advertisement matter, con-
templating a gift scheme, was ad-
vised that the Regulations, No. 8,
Supplement No. i, relating to the
contents of statutory packages of
tobacco or cigars prohibited the
placing in such packages of all
foreign articles of whatever kind or
Lature, and that the inclusion of
the cigars meant the exclusion of
every other thing except the manu-
facturer's wrappers and labels.
A Label for Cigats Disapproved.
A cigar manufacturer submitted
a pencil draft of a label desired to
be used by him in connection with
his statutory boxes of cigars, a blue
band, sketched the full length of
the label, and intended to suggest
an Internal Revenue stamp, had
the words "John Doe's inttrnal
revenue" printed on the label. It
was advised that a manufacturer is

Chapter XIII — A CELUBRATF.D CASE.
By Joseph B Wertheim, of E. M. Schwarz & Co.

upon the defendant a gross fraud,
did such killing render the defend-
ant guilty of murder in th« first
degree?"
The court answered: "If the
evidence on this point was conclu-
sively to the effect that the defend-
ant had been the victim of a fraud
so heinous as to arouse in him a
degree of passion beyond the power
of a rational man to control, then
the verdict of the jury might be one
of justifiable homicide."
The jury acquitted the prisoner
on the spot, and he went forth a
free man.
The acquitted man was John
Fortescue Baker, whose record as
one of Roosevelt's Rough Riders is
more than commonly well known.
When he joined his regiment from
the large Western town in which
his whole life prior to the Spanish-
American war had been spent, he
was innocent of many things not
usually pertaining to the intellectual
equipment of the average young
American man. Among these was
a knowledge of the Spanish lan-
guage.
After the capitulation of Santiago,
Baker saw in that ancient Cuban
city a pair of Spanish eyes that
made short work of him. The eyes
belonged to a certain Senorita , knowledge of Spanish. That was over each of these, and most bitterly

meanor had been collected and
dignified, though sad. He said that
he had returned from Cuba an un-
successful suitor for the hand of the
Senorita Ximena Rendon, and that
moreover he had been rejected with
scorn; with high bred Castilian
scorn, it is true, but nevertheless
with scorn, not only by the object
of his love and all her relations, well
conditioned proud Spaniards every
one of them, but that the whole
population of Santiago had laughed
him out of the city when the cause
of his dismissal had been made
known by the newspapers.
Baker laid all his misfortunes at
the door of the wretched man whose
pupil in Spanish he had been, but
the enormity of this man's guilt
toward himself had not become
manifest, he said, until after he had
gone over his Spanish grammar and
dictionary in the effort to discover
why his own essays in spoken
Spanish had been such horrible
failures. Then he came to the con-
clusion that to kill the man who
had brought him to such a pass
would be not only justifiable but
also the performance of a public
duty, lest some other American
lover might likewise come to grief
in the same shameful way.
It had previously been shown by
other witnesses that the man who
had been Baker's victim, and whose
real name had been Isidore White,
though he called himself on the
shingle which had invited the world
to study Spanish under his tuition
Ysidro Blanco, had been for years a
cigar packer by occupation, and
that he had never been in Spain or
in any other country speaking
Spanish in his life; that in short,
the only Spanish he had everstudied
he had picked up in the course of
the employment just specified.
"Fancy making love to a culti-
vated Spanish girl in her own
country in cigar-box Spanish, ' ' was
the plea for the defence. Cigar box
Spanish was so dreadful a counter-
feit of the genuine article that
Baker had been justified in taking
the life of the counterfeiter, said his
counsel.
The jury took this view, and I
think most people will be disposed
to agree that their verdict was the
right one.

labels were made specially for this
firm, with a complete set of acces
soriessucb as flaps, extension labels,
nail tags, edgings. In each case
the titles selected were of some
significance, and invariably appro
priate.
A picture of Benjamin Wheeler,
President of California University,
adorns one label. A picture of
Anne Hyde, who was Queen of
Great Britain for a few hours, forms
the central figure of attraction in
association to handle and market the
product of their farms. Kentucky
tobacco is used largely in making
plug and twist; and consolidation
in this branch of the trade has ap-
proached almost to the point of
monopoly. The Kentucky tobacco
growers, feeling the pressure of low-
ered prices, now propose to meet
combination with combination. —
There are 20,000 farmers to whip
into line for the new arrangement
to control raw material — rather a
formidable proposition under or-
dinary conditions.

The Cuban Reciprocity Bill.
The following is the text of the
bill to provide for reciprocal trade
relations with Cuba, as reported to
the House on March 19:
That for the purpose of securing
reciprocal trade relations wiih Cuba,
the President is hereby authorized,
as soon as may be alter tht esiab-
lishment of an independent govern-
ment in Cuba, and the enactment
by said government of immigration
and exclusion laws as fully resiric-
tive of immigration as the laws of
the United Stales, to enter into
negotiations with said government,
wiih a view to the arrangement of
a commercial agreement in which
reciprocal and equivalent conces
sions may be secured in favor of
the products and manufacturers ol
the United States by rates of duty,
which shall be less by an amount
equivalent to at least 20 per ceni.
ad valorem upon such products and
manufactures than the rates imposed
upon the like articles when imported
into Cuba from the most favored of
other countries, and which shall
not be greater than the rates ini
posed by the United States upon
the like articles imported from
Cuba: and whenever the govern
ment of Cuba shall enact such im
migration and exclusion laws, and
shall enter into such commercial
agreement with the United States,
and shall make such concessions in
favor of the products and nianufac
tures thereof as aforesaid, and which
agreement in the judgment of the
President shall be reciprocal and
equivalent, he shall be authorized
to proclaim such facts, both as to
the enactment of such immigration
and exclusion laws and the making
of such agreement, and thereafter,
until the first day of December,
1903, the imposition of the duties
now imposed by law on all articles
imported from Cuba, the products
thereof, into the United States shall
be suspended, and in lieu thereof
there shall be levied, collected and
paid upon all such articles imported
from Cuba 80 per cent of the rate
of duty now levied upon like articles
imported from foreign countries.
The President shall have power,
and it shall be his duty, whenever
he shall be satisfied that either such
immigration or exclusion laws or
•«uch agreement mentioned in this i
act are not being fully executed by
the government of Cuba, to notify
such government thereof and there- 1
af'er there shall be levied, collected !
an*d paid upon all articles imported
from Cuba the full rate of duty pro-
vided by law upon articles imported
from foreign countries.
Pcrlque Snuff In Favor.
Periqne tobacco is a type of to-
bacco which, in point of richness
and flavor, is probably unequaled.
It is at present grown only in two
parishes in the State of Louisiana,
and according to common belief ex
actly the same type of tobacco
could not be produced on any other
soil in the world. The world's
total supply of Periqne tobacco is
necessarily very small, less than
150,000 pounds a year. SnufiF has
been made from Perique tobacco
since 1808, but only in very small
quantities. This Perique snuff is
practically unknown in America,
all of it being taken by the foreign
trade. This snuff was regularly
supplied to the Vatican for a long
time, and it is understood has been
; a favorite of the present Pope. This
' snuff was also a favorite with Louis
I Napoleon, and is now being used
! and is regularly bought for the
; Sultan of Turkey. It has at one
time and another been used by
j leading dignitaries of the church
{and state throughout Europe
Among the few users of this snuff
I in America is Archbishop Chapelle,
I who was appointed Apostolic Dele-
! gate to Cuba and the Philippines.
j The Sad Case of Dear Little
Bright Eyes.
It's really too bad about poor
dear Little Bright Eyes.
Everybody knows, of course, that
he never could write English, but
it was taken for granted that he
could at least, read it. It appears
not, however, for here's the sweet
child charging "an out-of-town
contemporary" with labeling a little
picture "The Frascati on an In-
scription Day," when the words
that appeared beneath, as plain as
fine upstanding Roman caps could
make them, were "The Frascati on
an Inspection Day."
And his bad language? Alas,
Little Bright Eyes is no Chesterfield,
and, then, besides, he overfeeds.
Stoo bad !
In the superior court of Connec-
ticut on March 13th, the jury in
the suit of Charles Cannon against
C. F. Tolland both of Warehouse
Point, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for $622 25. The suit is
over tobacco curing, and the verdict
includes the full amount of dam-
ages asked for with accrued interest.

NEW JERSEY.
Let us sing the praises of New
Jersey; of that state so full of bright,
industriou'i.and enterprising peopl ^,
so able in any arena to take their
own part and which is yet so often
the butt of cheap wits; of New
Jersey, which at Jersey City takes
on the complexion of New York
and at Camden that of Philadelphia,
which is thunderous day and night
with the roar of traffic over its
plains and hills, and which in the
proper seasons is the quitt retreat
of those who seek rest or recrea
tion.
New Jersey of late years has come
much within the eye of the cigar
loving public because of the estab
lishment at New Brunswick and
Trenton of a large number of huge
cigar factories, branches of parent
institutions in New York and else-
where. Nevertheless, long before
the launching of these ventures there
were in many cities and town^
throughout New Jersey a number
of very respectable small and
medium sized factories catering to
the needs of their respective sec
tions.
Indeed, the manufacture of cigars
is a very old siory in New Jersey
There are factories in Hoboken, for
instance, which date back to the
civil war.
Owing to the numerous summer
resorts on the beaches and in the
mountains of New Jersey which at
tract wealthy people from all parts
of the United States during the
season. New Jersey is also a great
consumer of the finest imported and
domestic cigars. In fact there are
no resorts of a similar kind in all
the world which compare with those
of New Jersey in this regard.
More fine cigars, for a certainty,
are smoked at Long Branch and
Atlantic City in the summer time
than are smoked on the Riviera in
the winter This may be, of course,
because healthy people go to Long
Branch and Atlantic City, whereas
the great bulk of those who flock
to the Riviera are consumptives
who do not smoke at all. So valua-
ble is this trade that quite a corps
of efficient salesmen is kept in New
Jersey the year round by those
manufacturers and importers whose
goods appeal to fashionable folk.
On the steamboats plying between
New York and Long Branch, as
well as on all the trains which
traverse the state, all kinds of ci
gars are smoked, but those who
travel much in New Jersey, either
by train or by boat, agree in saying
that the demand is always greatest
for fine goods.

scription, about 1,800 bales of dif-

purchased also "out of hand" 422

tobacco, the firm is advised by its
buyer in Amsterdam, is an exceed-
ingly fine lot. Sample bales will
be shipped to New York on the
.steamer "Rotterdam" sailing from
Amsterdam, March 20.
The purchasers at the inscription
of March 21 were:

Prices for such tobacco as was
taken by the Americans are reported
as very high.
The leaf market in New York
for the week ending March 22 was
without special animation. Every-
body is complaining of the lack of
"snap."
The only people who rejoice in a
good present business are the im-
porters of Havana. There is an
excellent demand for both the old
and new, and while profits are not
as large as the dealers would like to
have them, the demand is steady
and animated.
The holders of old Sumatra are
watching the course of events at the
insciiptions in Holland with quiet
minds All accounts agree that the
1 90 1 crop is far inferior to that of
I <,oo, and of the 1 900 crop there is a
sufficient supply on hand to meet
all requirements for at least nine
months It appears to be a fair in-
ference from the evenis at the first
inscription of last Friday that the
Americans will buy this year with
more discrimination than they have
ever shown before.

L. GRATHWOL;
with the spirit, came out with an
offer to give away /^50 000 in
bonuses to English retail tobacco-
nists who should be so very loyal
as to refuse to do business with the
bloomin' American invader.
On March 20, the Ogden Tobacco
Company, the chief English branch
of the British Tobacco Company
announced the counter inducement
which it offers to retailers. Ogden 's
declares that it intends to give its
net profits and /,'2oo,ooo a year for
the next four years to its customers.
The offer created the greatest sen
sation known in the history of the
trade in Great Britain. The Lon-
don dailies which are not very well
equipped for "scare heads" are
nevertheless using such adjectives
as "startling," "amazing," "be
wildering" in a manner that turns
out to be the very best kind of an
advertisement for Ogden 's goods.
The Bakers, after Salmon &
Gluckstein, the largest retail to-
bacconists in London have enrolled
themselves under the Ogden ban-
ner. The British public, which
those who affect to understand our
cousins in England, were wont to
say would stand to a man by the
Imperial Tobacco Company as
against its American rival, is in
sympathy with the Bakers. It is
pointed out in London that the
"patriotism" of the Imperial To-
bacco Company means everything
for the manufacturers and nothing
for the retailers, and that they are
not prepared to "stand for" patriot-
ism of that kind. The consuming
public in Great Britain is mean
while eagerly awaiting the cut in
prices.
At a meeting of the retailers of
London on the afternoon of March
21 the boycotting clause of the Im
peral Tobacco Co was generally
condemned and the opinion was
expressed that no London retailer
would sign it.
The retail tobacconists of Scot-
land have unanimously declined to
sign the Imperial Tobacco Co's.
form of contract and the retailers
of the North of Ireland have to a
man taken sides with the Ogdens.
The Ogden agreement leaves the
dealers free to trade as they please.
The Imperial Tobacco Co's. circular
stated that in order to receive the
bonuses the dealers must agree not
to sell the goods of the British To-
bacco Co.

! Theo Werner.
Has "Herbert Spencer" at his
fingers' ends and in his sample case.
Or rather, he dumps his Spencers
out of his sample case, to supply
some customer's pressing need for
the brand, and then goes on to the
next customer without any samples,
and with only his smile.
That smile!
Gee, it's an education in sales
manship to analyze it. To see it
begin in a gentle sideways motion
of the lips and then gradually beam
on the whole universe, its chiel
spell exerting itself all the while
upon the man who is being told
how good the "Herbert Spencer"
brand is and what a good seller.
Werner doesn't have to talk much.
His smile is more eloquent than
reams of words would be.
Carl Upmann.
Wedded, like all the Upmauns,
to the weed, yet, like all the Up-
manns, versatile.
This member of the family, when
he isn't busied with his cigar fac
tory, concerns himself with music.
The heavenly maid reciprocates
by making the world a pleasant
place for her devotee.
Mr. Upmann is not only a con-
noisseur of the music made by other
people, he is also a remarkably pro
! ficient executant himself. So ex-
I pert are his fingers on the keyboard
j of the piano that some people assert,
j and it's only a feeble joke at that,
I that his "Extra Five" brand has
I some reference to his own five
j digits.
j Ysidro Pendas.
Like the original Alvarez, whose
obsequieo took the form of naming
a cigar after Henry Clay, the fame
of the firm of Y. Pendas & Alvarez
will always be associated with that
of Daniel Webster. There is this
difference however: Many a poor
cigar is called a Henry Clay, but
no one ever yet got a poor Webster.
'Cos why, there ain't none.
And, then, thanks to the up to-
date methods of the manufacturers,
the Webster is on sale everywhere,
so that no lover of a fine cigar need
ever complain that he cannot get
suited.
Mr. Pendas is the dean of the
clear Havana manufacturers of the
United States, and the President of
the new Association of those man-
ufacturers, not because his firm is
responsible for the Webster, but be-
cause he is Ysidro Pendas; but, on
the other hand, if he were not
I Ysidro Pendas, he wouldn't know
I how to make Websters and La
j Mias, and a few other trifles like
them. That's the whole story in
a nut shell.

Parham & Duff say they are well
pleased with the way in which things
have been going at their new store
at III Market street since they took
possession, as they find trade in-
creasing steadily.
IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
It is encouraging to note that at
a time when the trade is in a rather
dull condition there is some ex-
ception to it. This has been the
case during the past week with J.
A. Kinney, representing H. Duys,
Jr. , of New York. Mr. Kinney has
been successful in closing a couple
of good sized transactions on their
line of Sumatras.
W. H Dohan, of Dohan & Taitt,
left for Cuba on Saturday last, and
was followed on Monday by Jacob

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The leaf market during the past
week has been at least better, even
if not somewhat improved. Local
buyers report that where single case
sales recently were not infrequent,
a similar class of buyers have ven-
tured during the past week who are
buying in five case lots of the same
grade. It is true that no particularly
large transaction has been reported
during the week, yet there has been
much that signifies better sales may
be soon expected, and this is being
looked forward to by packers and
jobbers with considerableencourage-
ment. Connecticut and Ptnnsyl-
vania broad leaf have perhaps been
in the lead in domestic leaf tobaccos.
The Sumatra market has been
somewhat stimulated by the report
of the first inscription of 1902, held
last week, and in consequence a
few fair sized transactions have
been reported at prices that were
satisfactory to importers.
The Havana market has been
fair, considtring the dull season,

HOW IT IS IN YORK.
JOHN D. SKILES,
York, Pa., March 24, 1902.
A considerable amount of com-
plaining is heard from manufac
turers, concerning poor trade; some
of this may be general, but as there
is a depression in other branches of
trade, and as the cigar trade seems
to be the last to pick up after such
depression, we can naturally expect
dullness until after the first of April,
when, as in former ytfars, it is more
than probable that the trade will
resume activity.
Shaw & Smith, of Dallastown,
are erecting a new factory for their
increasing business They expect
to remove to their new quarters in

Heckert Co., at Dallastown, has'
returned after a most successful
business trip, and after making the
necessary arrangements left on Tues-
day for another trip to a difi"tfrent
section. The firm report business
as very good with them at present.
The Herman Warner Cigar Fac-
tory located here represents the
working place of an enormous
amount of cigars disposed of annu
ally by the Herman Warner Cigar
Co., of Chicago, advertised as the
"cheapest cigar house in the coun-
try." Another adjunct to this con-
cern is a factory operated in Porto
Rico by Seth Warner.

ing M. C. Miller, of Hartford,

TOBACCO MARKETS.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
Sales to a limited extent continue
but too often there is no price
mentioned. The probabilities are
that the prices are so small that the
seller doesn 't care to have it known .
The idea of concealing the price ob- 1
tained from his own neighbors and :
personal friends oftentimes serves to \
Injure the neighbors and friends.
As it certainly compels them to ad-
mit that thoagh the crop was known
to be a good one, and the seller a
good judge of the crop, and fairly
posted as to market conditions, no
price is given, thus having the
effect of compelling the neighbors
and friends to sell at a low price.
Yet the first seller would be mad if
charged with aiding a buyer to take
in his friend. The Connecticut
Valley has lost this year fully a
million dollars by their hasty sales.
It really seems as though half of
the growers were incompetent to
sell their crops.
Our correspondents write :
Feeding Hills, Mass.: "Edmond
H. Smith, of the Hinsdale Smith
Company, is to raise 125. acres of
tobacco this coming season, 20
acres under cloth shade. His farm
manager, John Shay, has been busy
in cutting and healing the posts for
the tents. They have a large
quantity of cloth and other materials
for the tents , and they propose to
surround the entire 125 acres with
cloth to keep out grasshoppers."
Conway: ** Charles Parsons &
Son sold 8 acres at 8 cents, and C.
K. Childs iy2 acres at 10 cents.
Only 2 crops remain unsold."
Northampton: "Onelotof 3 acres
sold at 13 cents, and one of 6 acres
at 10 cents. My correspondent
writes: 'I helped assort this last lot;
it was a good one, with no pole burn
in it, and I should say there were
25 per cent, of light wrappers,' and
this correspondent is a first-class ci-
gar roller." [What can a man be
thinking of to sell such a crop at
but little more than a filler rate? —
Ed]
South wick: "Several parties
here, among them Mr. Nobel, are
to grow fully 10 acres under shade
this year. About the usual amount
will beset."
Agawam: "I have to report the
sale of several crops of tobacoo in
bundle, at an average of nearlv 13
cents. The bulk of the crop is
now sold."
East Windsor: ' ' Many sales have
lately been made at from 12 to 16
cents, and one grower refu-ed 17
cents. Active preparations fjr the
coming season are visible on every
tide."
Wethersfield: "There hat been
considerable many lots of tobacco
sold here the past week, but we
haven't at yet received the list of
prices. — American Cultivator.

THE, UP-TO-DATE
^ ^ SYSTEM ^ 41
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.
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,
tixed 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.

MIAMISBURG, OHIO.
Buying of new Zimmer and seed
leaf has now become quite general,
about all of the regular packers be
ing identified in the movement, and
for reasons best known to them
selves, presumably, some packers
are apparently conducting their
operations under the cloak of an
alias and withholding their real
names from the public Numerous
sales are reported from day to day ,
and it is remarkable how rapidly
the tobacco is being swept from the
country. Deliveries are of almost
daily occurrence, though not of
such magnitude as they would be
if all of the tobacco was packed
The price paid for Zimmer is uni
formly loc through, with occasional
rumors of a small premium for
extra handling. The price of seed-
leaf varies from 6 to 8c through,
with the bulk of transactions at 7c.
Considerable ill feeling has been
engendered here lately, through re-
ports of a system of docking in-
dulged in by an outside party while
receiving. It is claimed that this
party practices docking wherever
possible and without just cause,
thus realizing the benefit of an
average reduction of 2c a pound
from the contract price, which is
equivalent to an actual steal.
Farmers should adopt vigorous
methods in resisting these sharks,
whose unfair tactics not only result
in serious loss to the farmers them-
selves, but work a great injustice
I to every honorable packer, who
must compete with these people in
selling.
If the tobacco growers fail to
combine to knock out dishonest
packers, the result will be honor-
able and honest packers will be
compelled to withdraw from the
field, as they cannot compete with
dishonest buyers, who by systematic
docking and scheming rob the
farmer and obtain their tobacco be-
low the market price. — News.

Buyers are riding the growing dis
tricts quite freely of late and closing

pears that there are plenty of grow-
ers who still have their tobacco in

JANESVILLE, WIS.
The market at Janesville and
vicinity remains unchanged since
last report. Local buyers are not
looking up crops to any extent.
Those still in the hands of the
farmer are on the average a cheaper
grade and held too high to warrant
investment. The weather is very
favorable for handling goods, and
growers who feel inclined to accept
the prices oflfered, are making de-
liveries.
• In old goods there have been no
extensive sales reported during the
week. — Farm and Home.

Ofierings again small of Common
and Medium tobaccos. The market
was much stronger in tone and bid-
ding active, resulting in sales of
three fourths the oflferings. There
is more inquiry and I expect offer-
ings to increase largely in the next
few weeks. Large receipts of loose
tobacco and it is estimated now that
90 per cent, of the crop has been
sold and two-thirds of the crop de
livered. Hogshead receipts are
fairly good, and expect large sales
during April, May and June, and
season promises to be shorter than
usual. Lugs will be scarce and
promise to be higher than for years,
as well as Common Leaf, as low
grades have become popular with
the world's trade, and being smaller
in quantity. Demand will cause
higher prices.

M. H. Clark & Bro.
Our receipts of new tobacco this week
were 875 hhds.; oflferings on the breaks
97 hhds; public and private sales 124 hhds.
The market was firm to strong on
all Lugs and Leaf of merit.
Receipts are now full and offer-
ings were expected to be larger,
but sellers are holders at present,
looking for a more favorable market
later on.
Receipts at the factories continue
large, but will soon slacken off, as
the bulk of the loose crop has been
delivered.
Western stemmers begin to think
that the "Imperial Tobacco Co."
has set a trap for them; encourag-
ing them to stem freely, and then
arranging to buy in States in
competition with them. A short
crop this year would change the
situation.

Conspiracy Charge not Proven.
Stephen Lentsch, a cigar manu-
facturer of St. Paul, Minn., recently
brought suit demanding $5,000
damages, against the Wilson Box
Co., George B. Thera and John L.
Hertz, all cigar box manufacturers
at St. Paul. Mr. Lentsch alleged
conspiracy on the part of the cigar
box manufacturers to prevent him
from selling his goods by refusing
to sell him cigar boxes in which to
pack his cigars, and ascribed their
refusal to a conspiracy among them
to injure him in his business. In
support of this averpaent it was
shown by the plaintiff that he had
owed a bill of $35 to one of the
defendants which had been ex-
punged by reason of the fact that
he had passed through bankruptcy,
and it was argued by his counsel
that the refusal of the defendants to
sell him boxes, even for caah, was
in the nature of a boycott to coerce
him to payment of that old indebted-
ness. Hence his demand for $5 ,000
damages.
After hearing the testimony for
the plaintiff the court granted a
motion of the defendants to dismiss
the case on the ground that con-
spiracy had not been shown.
The foregoing is interesting in
view of the fact that about two
yeara ago the cigar box manufac-
turers in the western states resolved
themselves iato an association
which, while not incorporated, has
undertaken to regulate its business
in such manner as is deemed proper
and adequate for its own protection.
Among other things the association
conducts a credit system requiring
customers to pay their debts or look
elsewhere for their supply of boxes.
It is one of the first cases that has
been brought up since the credit
system has been put into operation,
and the trade at large will no doubt
be much interested in knowing the
foregoing.

HOW IT IS DONE IN Vii<GINIA.
A Grand Struggle for Supremacy.
The Richmond (Va ) "Times"
is responsible for the statement that
a struggle is on at Winchester, Va.,
between the American Cigar Co ,
and the Cuba Rica Co., a local
factory commenced about a year
ago by Ralph Savage and Marcus
Davis. Their leading brand is
known as the "Charley Rouss" 5
cents cigars.
Recently the American Cigar
Company flooded that market with
their"Cubanola" brand and covered
the entire sides of many houses with
huge advertisements.
Now the A. C. Co., is accused of
having connived with someone,
bought a large lot of the "Charley
Rouss" brand at the regular whole
sale price and shipped them back
there for retail at three for five cents
Some stores are selling the "Cu
banolas" at two for a nickel.
LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Tin Foil Wrappers for Cigars.
A collector who reported that he
found boxes of cigars on the market
put up in bundles of five or ten
cigars, wrapped in tin foil (unsealed)
in such manner that the bundles
had to be opened before the num
ber of cigars could be readily deter-
mined, was advised that the use of
tin-foil wrapping is authorized by
the regulations without reference to
the number of cigars that may be
put up in each parcel or bundle,
provided a statutory number of ci-
gars is placed in each box.
Use of Tin Tags in Prize Schemes.
The Commissioner has ruled that
a manufacturer may use trade mark
tin tags by attaching the same to
the tobacco contained in a statutory
package, but that no loose adver-
tisement card, tin tag, circular,
certificate, or other foreign article,
can be placed in a statutory pack-
age of tobacco; nor can manufac-
turers' labels, trade mark tin tags,
trade mark strips or spacing strips
be used if they contain, or have
connected with them, any promise
or offer of, or any order or certifi
cate for, any gift, prize, premium,
payment or reward. But a manu-
facturer may place stamped statu-
tory packages of tobacco in cartons,
shipping cases or crates, and such
shipping cases or cartons may also
contain packages of advertisement
matter, though such matter can not
be attached to or placed in, or form
a part of the statutory package.
Sale of Leaf Tobacco by a Mannfactarer Clos-
ing Hit Factory.
In passing upon the request of a
cigar manufacturer, who proposed
to close his factory, for permission
to dispose of his leaf tobacco to
other manufacturers, the Commis-
sioner advised the collector for the
district that if the manufacturer
had not purchased leaf largely in
excess of the demands of his own
factory, and his sales were con6ned
to accumulated stock, the office
saw no objection to issuing special
permits on Form 100 authorizing
the sale and transfer of his leaf to
bacco to other manufacturers; but
if he purchased leaf tobacco for the
purpose of reselling or supplying
other manufacturers with material,
he would be regarded as carrying
on business as a dealer in leaf to-
bacco, and should be required to
qualify and pay special tax as such
at some place not constituting a
part of his bonded factory premises.
Subdivision Packages of Tobacco.
The Commissioner has authorized
the use of a strong manila paper
16 ounce package (properly marked,
branded and stamped) and contain
ing 32 small unsealed subdivisions,
each containing not more than
three-fourth of an ounce of chew-
ing and smoking tobacco, and each
bearing the name and brand of the
manufacturer and the words, "This
is an authorized subdivision taken
from a properly stamped package."
The manufacture was cautioned,
however, that he was not privileged
to break stamped packages for the
purpose of distributing the sub
divisions to unstamped packages, or
for sending them through the mails
to consumers, though such statu-
tory stamped packages can be
broken by a salesman or by a man-
ufacturer's agent, or by a dealer in
tobacco, after the package has been
removed from the factory properly
labeled and stamped, and such
persons would have the right to
distribute the tobacco to consumers
directly from the stamped package.
The person who removed the con-
tents from the larger package must
at once destroy the stamp affixed
thereto.
Leaf Dealers' Books.
The Commissioner has recently
ruled that a leaf dealer is required
to enter on his book 59 the names
of individual farmers from whom
he receives leaf tobacco, though
where a dealer has registered and
paid special tax at one place of
business he may have an outside
storage warehouse where he may
receive and store leaf tobacco pur-
chased or received exclusively from
farmers or growers, without being
required to pay special tax at that 1
place, or enter on book 59 the names I
of individual farmers from whom
tobacco is received, provided all
purchases and sales are conducted
and consummated from the principal
place of business, and at which
book 59 is kept, which may show

Cigarettes Shipped to Porto Rico.
A manufacturer reported that on
a brand of his cigarettes, tax paid
at54cents per thousand, and shipped
to Porto Rico, an additional tax of
$i.ooper thousand is assessed on
their arrival in that island. He
requested that he be permitted to
export these cigarettes in bond, in
order to escape the payment of the
54 cent tax in this country, but was
advised that no exportations in bond
could be permitted to Porto Rico, it
not being a foreign country, but re-
garded as American territory, and
that under the existing laws and
regulations. cigarettes could not be
removed from.the place of manufac-
ture without the payment of tax;
that the laws of Porto Rico provided
a tax of $i.oo per thousand on all
cigarettes brought into that country
from the United States, and also re-
quired a tax of |2.oo per thousand
to be paid on cigarettes brought
in from any other country except
the United States; that under the
condition* presented thert appeared
to be no relief for him, and that to

Payment of Rebate Claims.

the indorsement of warrants for the
payment of rebate claims under the
act of March 2, 1901, which war-
rants are now being drawn at the
rate of 8co to 1,000 per day, the
Commissioner has advised that in-
dorsements of warrants by execu-
tors, administrators, guardians,
trustees or other fiduciaries, must
be accompanied by certified copies
of court records or powers of attor-

mentary, or letters of administra-
tion, or of guardianship, as each
case may require. All evidence of
a fiduciary nature is generally at-
tached to warrants after they have
been delivered to and properly
authorized by the administrator,
executor or trustee, and the papers
are then forwarded to the Assistant
Treasurer of the United States, to
whom the warrant is directed, in-
stead of being forwarded to the
Comptroller of the Treasury. If
the papers are in proper form, pay-
ment is made; otherwise the letters
of administration, appointment of
trustees or powers of attorney are
forwarded to the Treasury Depart-
ment for an opinion as to the cor
rectness of the power. Payees and
indoraers of warrants must indorse

During President Madison's first i Dolly Madison, "Her Majesty," successful, but, then, you see, all loads of such things were hastily
gotten together and carried to the
administration this most famous
work of art hung in the dining room
of the White House. The frame,
which was very massive, was firmly
fixed to the wall. Please remember
that.
On that memorable day in 1812
when the British took Washington,
one of the first things they looked
for was the Gilbert Stuart picture.
Nothing would have pleased them
better than to destroy this portrait,
for they still hated the memory of
Washington. So, when they in-
vaded the White House, they looked
high and low for the painting. They
tore through the apartments of state
and they ransacked the President's
living rooms, in their progress
gathering up much loot of a minor
character, but the great picture was
nowhere to be found. On the floor
of the dining room were the frag-
ments of a huge gilt frame — of the
frame which until a few hours be-
fore had surrounded the picture — 1
but the British soldiers did not
know this. Still less could they '

White House made a brief visit to
every well-known room to take a
farewell that might perhaps be the
very last before the British should
make fire- wood of it all.
The inspiration to save the Gil-
bert Stuart picture at all hazards
came to her as the direct result of
her passion for snuff. She was in
the dining room taking a final sur-
vey of its familiar contents, when
she realized that she had forgotten
her snuff-box, and that she needed
alpinch of snuff at that very moment,
too. She felt it would fortify her.
The maid whom she sent for her
snuff-box did not return as quickly
as her mistress had thought she
would. In the meantime the in-
spiration I have mentioned came to
her. She summoned the door-keeper
and the gardener of the executive
mansion, and instructed them to
smash the heavy frame and to take
lout the precious canvas. The work
was soon done and the picture

will be remembered even after it is
removed. If you cannot do it your-
self perhaps you have a salesman
whc can, and in any case it will do
no harm to give him an opportunity.
Sometimes important results have
followed.
If any local event of importance
is going to occur soon you have a
favorable opportunity to create talk
about your store. Assume that
some historical society, of which
there are scores, is going to hold a
meeting. Make up your window
with a historical setting. Borrow
all the objects of historic interest
you can get, or that you can use
advantageously. Arrange them in
your windows, accompanied by a
liberal representation of your goods.
You will attract attention by seizing
the interest of the hour and crys-
talyzing it in your store. Your
sales will enlarge proportionately.
Perhaps somesecret order is hold
ing a meeting in your town. For
traits and other objects of interest to
the society will make effective dec-
orations and will also add to your
reputation as an enterprising dealer.
In this way, by noting carefully in
advance what is going to occur, you
can make up attractive windows at
small expense and increase your
sales accordingly.
Special days, special gatherings
and all special occasions are valu
able assets in the decorators' art, and
it is comparatively easy to illustrate
them in your windows.
Leaf tobacco lends itself very
readily to decorative work, and
where it is possible it can be used
advantageously. Small figures can
be wrapped in it as in cloaks Deft
fingers can fashion numerous orna-
mental articles from it, or just the
bare leaf, showing the diflFerent
grades, makes a good trim. If you
make your own cigars you can
manage this easily. In the summer
a growing tobacco plant would be
attractive, and it would become an
object of information if the different
leaves were plainly labeled, showing
which ones were used for wrapper,
which for binder and which for
other purposes. Scores of modifi-
cations will suggest themselves to
you and there should be no difl5culty
in drawing a crowd.
A Smoke by Proxy.
A new method has been discov-
ered by an habitual smoker for
breaking himself of what, in his
case at least, had become a very
injurious habit. He had been try-
ing for three weeks to do without
the use of tobacco in any form, when

one evening last week the craving
became so strong that he though
he must have just one little smoke.
Accordingly he bent his steps to-
ward the nearest tobacconist's shop.
On the way his eye alighted on a
sign.
"SMOKING CONCERT "
Then a brilliant thought struck
him. He stopped and gazed at the
sign for a moment, then rushed for
the ticket office, tendered a dime to
the sporty individual behind the
glass window, and plunged into the
concert room. There the smoke
was thick as ' 'a London particular, ' '
and the smokers were, most of them ,
enjoying pipes — strong, rank pipes
— evidently filled with about the
poorest and cheapest apology for
tobacco to be had. The appear- j
auce of a well-dressed stranger
created some surprise in the hall. Importers of Sumatra & Havana
but he paid no attention to the
crowd. Standing near the door he
breathed long, deep, and satisfac
tory breaths of that thick tobacco
laden air for full five minutes. Then
the ex- tobacco fiend made a dash
back into the street and filled his
lungs with the pure air again, and
the craving for a smoke had gone!
Gone absolutely and left no trace. —

A Union's Growth.
George W. Perkings, president
of the International Cigarmakers'
Union, has given out his report of
the organization since its last con-
vention in Detroit in 1896. He
states that for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1901, there were 5,770,-
934- 369 cigars made in America.
Charters have been granted since
the 1896 convention to 116 local
unions. In 1877 there were 17
locals in the international. Now
there are 414 local unions in good
standing.
The membership in 1877 was 2,-
729, and in 1901 there were 33,955
members on the roll. This does
not include traveling members and
those who pay half dues. There
were 2 1 1 deaths in 1 890, and of this
number 114 died of consumption,
which is a percentage of 49. The
average age of those who died was
37 years and 6 months. In 1900
there were 339 deaths and 1 12 died
of consumption, or a percentage of
33. The average age of those who
died was 43 years and 6 months.
The union engaged in 53 [ strikes
since 1896, involving 18,707 mtm-
bers; 300 of these were successful,
27 were compromised, and 79 were
lost. The others are pending or
the members have secured employ-
ment elsewhere.
The union paid in strike benefits
$231,804.01. In 1900 the union
paid out $117,455.84 in sick bene-
fits, $98,291, in death benefits, and
$23,897 in out-of-work benefits.
The largest amount paid for out-of
work benefits was in 1896, when it
expended $175 767.25. The union C
then had a membership of 27,000.

leged infringement of trademark.
The plaintiffs adopted the word
"Remnantos" as a cigar trademark
and the defendants utilized that
word as a front mark, and as a front
mark only, on certain boxes of ci-
gars not manufactured by the plain-
tiffs. In the litigation Mandel
baum Bros, represented the plain
tiffs and Wise & Lichtenstein the
defendants. The case was tried
before Justice Henry Bischoff, Jr.,
of the New York Supreme Court,
who decided it on March 27 in favor
of the plaintiffs. The decision,
which settles several novel points,
is as follows:
Let Us Have a Tobacco Man for
Minister to Cuba.
The Republic of Cuba goes into
business on its own account on
May 20, and one of President
Roosevelt's first duties will be the
appointment of an Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotenti-
ary to the new Republic. In the
bill providing for this officer the
salary fixed is $10,000.
The President cannot find any
where material better suited for
It is conceded upon behalf of the
defendant that its use of the word
"Remnantos" upon boxes of cigars
this new diplomatic post than ^ sold by it would be the subject of
among the members of the tobacco injunction as an infringement of
trade, for to no class is Cuba, the I t^e plaintiff's trademark, if it
old and the new Cuba, better known f ^°"!^ ^t ^^^^''^'''^^ ^hat the word
has thecharacteristicssuch as would
, permit the plaintiff to appropriate
The new Cuba it for the purposes of trade, but it
is insisted that the word is descrip
tive merely and is distinctive only
Further,
that the
plaintiff is chargeable with mis
representations in his cigar trade,
and so does not come into equity
with clean hands. Upon the claim
that the word "remnantos" is a
Spanish word, descriptive of the
fact that the cigars in question con
sist of remnants of selected tobacco,
the plaintiff's answer is that the
word is not within the Spanish
vocabulary, but was coined by him-
self as a distinguishing trade name.
This fact does not appear to be dis-
puted upon the affidavits, and I
find no reason for refusing to ac-
cept the proof offered upon the
point. As to the contention that
the plaintiff does not come into
than to the leaf and cigar men of
the United States
will need in the minister from the
United States just such a man, one

sesses that savoir faire so essential
in all diplomats.
Here is a list of names from which
President Roosevelt may easily pick
any name without making a mistake:
Percival S. Hill, First Vice Presi
dent of the American Tobacco
Company.
Don Oustovo Salomon, of Gustav
Salomon & Bros.
Herman G. Vetterlein, of Phila-
delphia.
Harry S. Rothschild, importer of
Havana tobacco and Havana cigars.

porter of Havana tobacco

would be a suitable appointee from
every point of view. Each has a
sufficiency of this world's goods to
gars manufactured by him are "Ha-
vana cigars," and from an inspec
tion of the boxes used by the plain-
tiff, and which have been handed
up as exhibits upon this motion, it
is apparent that nobody at all fa-
miliar with cigars could assume
that the article sold by the plaintiff
in this form was actually an im-
ported cigar. The boxes bear the
domestic factory mark, and the use
of the word "Havana" upon the
label may suggest a place of busi-
ness, but it certainly does not sug
gest a place of manufacture in view
of the form in which the goods are
put up. If misrepresentations to
the public were to be inferred from
the form of the package adopted by
the plaintiff, it would be necessary
to draw the same inference as to
nearly every other brand of domes
tic cigars customarily offered for
sale. Motion for injunction granted.
The States from the Cigar
Man^s Point of View.
XXVII.
Maine.
The late Vice President Hannibal
Hamlin was once ordered out of a
retail shop in Maine because he
persisted in smoking the cigar which
was in his mouth when he entered
the place, but this is by no means
the attitude of the citizens of Maine
towards the cigar, for all things
considered, the state which is fa-
mous for its salmon and its prohi-
bition laws is a very good state in
deed. In the summer time, when
its resorts are crowded with plea
sure seekers, it is as good a cigar
state, proportionately to population,
as any in the Union. As is the
case in Massachusetts, the year
round residents of the state prefer
the Londres to any other shape,
and for the same reason, namely
that in the Londres the smoker gets
the full flavor of the filler at the
1 first whiff. That the cigar lovers
of Maine care little or nothing for
pretty names, while insisting that
the cigars they buy shall be the best
that can be made, was proven long
ago by the success of the "Onion"
brand, manufactured by Gumpert
Bros., of Philadelphia, and distri-
buted in Maine by the Guppy Co.
According to all convention, the
name of this brand should have
been its own epitaph, yet no cigar
has ever had a greater success in
Maine. An "Oniun" by any other
name would not smell sweet in
Maine.
XXVIII.
New Hampshire.
Roger G. Sullivan, of Manchester,
manufactures a great many of the
cigars which are smoked in New
Hampshire. He is one of the larg-
est cigar manufacturers in New
England, and by some people who
are believed to know what they are
talking about he is said to be the
largest manufacturer in all New
England. His annual output is
believed to be in the neighborhood
of 8,000,000. It is owing to Mr.
Sullivan's enterprise in making his
"7 20 4" brand known to the cigar
smokers of New York city and else-
where that his producing capacity
is being steadily increased.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
total population of new Hampshire
is less than 500,000. the state is a
very good state from the cigar man's
point of view. The resorts of the
White Mountains during the season
are oftentimes more odorous of ci-
gar smoke than of the scent of the
pines.
XXIX.
Vermont.
The Green Mountain Boys have
the same cigar predilections as the
smokers of the rest of New Eng-
land: they want their cigars big,
and they want them good, and con-
sidering that there are altogether
only about 350,000 people in the
state, Vermont is entitled to a
considerable share of respect from
the trade.

A Columbia University man tells
your correspondent that the Uni
versity man's cigarette is the
••Rameses" brand manufactured by
Stephano Bros., of Philadelphia.
He says that the "Rameses" cigar-
ettes are smoked not only at Co-
lumbia, but at Yale, at Princeton,
at Bowdoin, at Cornell, and at the
University of Pennsylvania. 'Var-
sity men, going home for vacation
or leaving college with their diplo-
mas, insiston having the ' ' Rameses"
wherever they go, and this prefer-
ence is one of the causes of the ex-
traordinary vogue of this cigarette.
Of course, the chief cause is its ex-
cellence.
Edward A. Kline, of "El Sym-
phonic" fame, announces that he
has become sole agent for the
United States and Canada for
Cifuentes Fernandez & Co. 's famous
"Partagas" brand of Havana ci-
gars. In his circular to the trade
Mr. Kline very rightly says that
this brand of imported cigars, which
has been on the market for a great
number of years, is to-day, as it
has always been, one of the highly
prized products of the Island of
Cuba. He is prepared to furnish
samples and quote prices to the
importing trade. Orders will be
taken only for importations from
Havana direct to purchasers.

Little Lives of the GresLt.
Ferdinand Cranz.
A remarkably virile specimen of
the Gentleman in Business.
Large hearted, but not soft. In
dtilgent to others, but rigorous as to
himself. A German of the Ger
mans, yet appreciative of the land
in which he has elected to make his
home.
Diligent in his business, but not
enslaved by it, for there is not in
the world a prosperous merchant
who gives more time to art, to
music, and to all those finer things
which polish, refine and elevate
than he does.
This is not a "jolly." It's the
truth; for if you are yourself a lover
of music, the drama, fine pictures,
good books, you know that the sub
ject of this present sketch has the
same interests that you have.
"Horse Shoe Jake"
There may be people who require
to be told that "Horse Shoe Jake"
is Mr. AloyS Jacobs, and that he
has won the wide fame which has
come to him through his long and
successful career in selling the
"Horse Shoe" brand of plug to
bacco, but those who do need to be
thus advised are few in the East
and non existent in the West and
South.
It's a big world to which "Horse
Shoe Jake" caters, but he is its
central sun. When you see him
on the road you realize what Pro-
fessor Tyndale meant when he de
fined heat to be a mode of motion.
And in "Horse Shoe Jake's" case
the definition is the more apt be
cause of the rays which flash from
the diamonds he wears on his horse
shoe scarfpin .
It's a case of consistency and
many jewels.
Jose M. Diaz.
That "use doth breed a habit in a
man" was Shakespeare's discovery.
That it is an axiom of not universal
application is made clear by the
case of Jose M. Diaz, of Bustillo
Bros. & Diaz. There was a time
in his salad days when "Joe" Diaz
was famous as a raconteur of good
stories. They were so uniformly
good that they contributed not a
little to his success. Yet the sue
cess achieved, the stories stopped
and now the only tale Mr. Diaz
tells has for its point the statement
that all of his firm's brands are ' 'in-
disputable leaders."
The best of it is that Mr. Diaz's
trade holds that the point is very
well taken.
Lewis Cantor.
Noteworthy for many qualities
which distinguish the man who
lives from the man who merely
vegetates, but for one other reason
also: he never fails to pay the U.
S. Treasury Department the com
pliment of reading its monthly, its
half yearly . and its annual statistics.
Has all these figures at his fingers'
ends. Nevertheless he seems to 1
carry them with as much ease as he
carries a huge balance at his bank
Other men get bulbous as to their
foreheads and tedious as to their
tongues under a load of Treasury
statistics, but Lewis Canter doesn't.
Maybe it's because the word Trea-
sury always suggests many pleasant
things to him that he is always
chipper and jaunty.
Perlque Tobacco.
Half the perique tobacco sold is
not perique at all, says the New Or
leans "States." It is a base imita-
tion. Since the Gramercy Sugar
Company up on the Valley road
bought the Jesse Ross plantation,
the area devoted to the culture of
perique has been largely cut down
Just now there are 400 acres in all
the territory devoted to its culture
Yet the so-called tobacco mixtures
which loudly proclaim that perique
enters into their make-up, are being
turned out by thethousandsof sacks
and "St James Perique" is claimed
to be a constituent of each and every
one of them. If all tobacco claimed
to be perique were the genuine arti
cle, thousands of acres would neces
sarily be devoted to its culture. * *
Never buy perique put up in a paper
bag. Its natural flavor is lost by
any contact with the air. Buy it
put up in tin boxes, and you will
more than likely get the real stuff*,
and you will likewise get the real
flavor. It's good judgment, too, to
buy it of a Creole. He more than
probably smokes it himself, and
knows what is perique and what is
not.
This is the Cigar
that will help you out
in igo2.

The cigar and tobacco dealers of
this city are unanimously in a more
cheerful spirit now that the first of
April has come, and as soon as the
weather shall have become more
settled cigar store doors will un
doiibtedly be thrown wide open,
and an increased retail trade cannot
help but follow. The extremely
rough weather of the latter part oi
March, as well as on Monday of
this week, was adverse to business
among the retail dealers, who have
taken it philosophically, however,
in their more hopeful mood of the
rapidly approaching spring. The
more progressive and up to date
dealers have taken advantage of the
dull period in thoroughly overhaul
ing their stock and stores, and a
large majority of the Philadelphia
establishments now present as hand
some an appearance as those of any
city in the world. Great strides
seem to have been made during the
past year in the way of window
dressings and displays, as well as
in the interior arrangements, all of
yvhich certainly will redound to their
benefit.

made by the Universal Tobacco Co

A party consisting of Mr. and
Mrs. George E Spotz and Mr. and
Mrs John N. Kolb, of the Theo
I bald & Oppenheimer Co., and Mr
j Leopold Loeb, of Leopold Loeb &
Co., will sail for Europe on April
,8, on the "Kronprinz Wilhelm."
After the gentlemen have attended
several inscriptions at Amsterdam,
a tour of the continent will be
made.

A good sized consignment of
Manila cigars has been received by
Duncan & Moorhead, importers, of
this city. The goods are branded
'Saturnus" and are controlled ab-
solutely by Duncan & Moorhead.
This, perhaps is the largest impor-
tation that has yet reached this city,
and the goods are made up only in
popular shapes and sizes. J. M.
Duncan, of this firm, has just re-
turned from a two months sojourn
in Florida.
Oblinger Bros. & Co. have done
considerable bill posting along the
Reading Railway stations, and are
now preparing to put new displays
upon the places leased by them. A
pretty thorough campaign of adver-
tising, which was mapped out some
months ago, is now being carried
out to the very letter, and as a.
result the sale of their "Vesper"
five cent cigar has been increasing
at a highly satisfactory rate.
John B Kolb, a son of John N.
Kolb, superintendent of the Theo-
bald & Oppenheimer Co's factories,
went to Tampa last Friday, with a
view to mastering some details in
the manufacture of clear Havana
goods under the direction of Juan
B Creagh, who is the local manager
of the T. & O. factory at Tampa.

The active advertising campaign
of the W. K. Roedel Co., previously
referred to in these columns, has
been lately prosecuted with much
vigor. Some new and extremely
pretty out door display signs, four
feet long, are being placed at num-
erous stores throughout this city
and elsewhere.
The El Basco Cigar Co. are now
prepared to place upon the market
their nickel leader, "El Basco,"
which they claim is a Havana filled
cigar with a Sumatra wrapper, and
which is made up in four sizes.
This firm, although comparatively
young, has already built up a thriv-
ing trade. Among the brands
which they have successfully placed
upon th« market are "The Baffler,"
"Candace" and "Valmero." The
"El Basco, ' ' however, is to be made
the greatest seller by them, and
already indications point to a very
excellent success.

Lancaster, Pa., Mar 31, 1902.
The local leaf market has re-
mained quiet The trade in old
goods during the past week was
dull, and the sales that were re-
ported were of small lots only
Last Friday was one of the largest
days in receiving the new tobacco
that we have had this year, the
receipts at a number of warehouses
being unusually large. Compara
tively little interest is being dis
played in the new crop. The Amer
ican Tobacco Co. now appears to
be about the only buyer of 190 c to
bacco that is actually at work.
The cigar industry in nearly all
sections of this county is still rather
dull. There are exceptions to this
of course, for several factories at
Akron recently were adding some
cigarmakers to their forces, al-
thoughanotherwas laying off hands.

the destination of which was Scran-
ton. The goods were received there
on Monday amid much pomp and
ceremony. An industrial parade
was arranged by the wholesale
house receiving the goods, and Mr
E. P Gresh, of this firm, was
present to personally conduct the
delivery of the important consign-
ment, which consisted of a solid
carload. The Gresh factory is in
deed one of the very few in this
state which is accustomed to make
frequent shipments in lots of from
one to ten carloads.
Western Tobacco Reports.
EDGERTON, WIS.
There has been more general buy
ing throughout the growing sections
of Rock and Dane counties of late
than any time during the season.
Buyers are riding in nearly every
locality and experience less trouble
in effecting trades than at any time
before, even though the prices paid
are low as compared with the earlier
sales. An early spring finds many
growers with their crops yet in
bundle, who are ready to accept the
terms offered rather than hire the
assorting done. A good nianv
thousand cases of tobacco have
changed hands during the week and
fully three quarters of the sales have
been below 7 cents. The American
Cigar Company also have their
buyers out again, adding largely to
their holdings.
The market for cured leaf remains
extremely quiet and no transactions
of any importance have come to
notice The usual trade in small
lots to manufacturers continues.
Farmers have commenced to pre-
pare their tobacco beds for another
crop, though as yet but little seed is
sown.
Shipments, 2oocs. — Reporter.
they are in more active demand than
other grades while Common Leaf is
; fairly strong. The movement of
loose IS large. It is estimated that
two-thirds of the crop has been re-
ceived. Hogshead receipts are
fairly good. Look for larger breaks
from now on, and more general
variety. There remains some old
tobacco both Lugs and Leaf selling:
Lugs, 4^ to 5}4c, Leaf, 5^^ to 7/20.
I quote new:
Lugs-Low. 4to4Xc; Com.,4V to43ii'c:
Med., 4}^ to 5^4 c: Good, 5% to 53/c:
Fine, .s^^ to 6'^c.
Leaf— Low, 5^ to 6c; Com., 6 to 7c;
Med , 7 to 8c.
Receipts for the week, 700 hhds; year,
3.695. Sales for the week, 49; year, 262.
Offerings. 80. Rejections, 35.
Stemmers' and rehandlers' oppor
tunity is good for buying Soft Leaf.
CLARKSVILLE, TENN.
M. H. Clark & Bro. I
Our receipts of new tobacco this week '
were 876 hhds ; offerings on the breaks '
1 27 hhds; public and private sales 92 hhds I
The breaks though still very
small show some improvement in
quality. Bremen sorts were strong
other kinds unchanged.
There is still a lack of general
call to give a firm strong demand
for the general run of the grades
offering.
Receipts of loose crops at the
factories were smaller, and the loose
tobacco market will soon close, as
the bulk of the crop has passed
from ownership of the planters.

An Editor Who Don't Like Some
CIcvciand Cigars.
The editor of a Nebraska news
paper explains himself as follows,
but he does not say whether or no
he is an admirer of eflFusive Billie
Bryan:
"Some of our esteemed contem-
poraries over the state are publish
ing advertisements for a Cleveland
cigar house. We recognized the
house as soon as we saw the ad.
They pay in five cent cigars — or
rather say they do. We tackled
that proposition a couple of years
ago and fell heir to a box of cigars.
They are good keepers and we have
most of them yet. We smoked one
ourself and had the delirium tri
angles for threedays in consequence.
The rest have been kept for book
agents and delinquent subscribers
and have never failed to do their
duty. They look much like cigars
but they taste like a zephyr from a
hog lot and stinketh like a slaughter
house. If any of the newspaper
boys really want some of these ci-
gars we can furnish them without
exacting an ad."
TAMPA.
This city is more overcrowded at
the present time in an attempt to
take care of its growing cigar busi
ness than it has ever been before
Never, since the industry was first
planted here by the lamented V.
Martinez Ybor, who was ably as
sisted in making the industry grow
by an influx of other well known
manufacturers, has there ever been
such a demand for accommodations
for new manufacturers.
All of the factory buildings which
have been erected in the past have
be.n filled and overcrowded, and
there is yet a demand for more
quarters on the part of new manu
facturers, who have made up their
minds to make Tampa their head
quarters for making fine, clear Hav
ana cigars.
KEY WEST.
Theodore Perez, a prominent ci
gar manufacturer, arrived from Ha
vana last week, where he has been
on an extended visit purchasing
leaf tobacco for his factory. He
succeeded in getting a quantity of
the finest quality.
The Peninsular and Occidental
steamship brought in 457 bales ol
Cuban tobacco last week for the
cigar manufacturers.
The travel between this city and
Havana is increasing; 205 Ameri-
can citizens and 114 aliens arrived
from Havana last week.
— The Iowa Cigar Co. has been
organized at West Uuit)n, la., cap-
italized at $10,000, with the follow-
ing oflficers: George A. Wood,
president; H. P. Hancock, vice
president; E. M. Phillips, secretary;
W. B. Thomas, treasurer, and T.
R Stam, manager. A. factory is to
be opened immediately, and twelve
to fifteen hands will be employed at
the start.

Why Mayor Lt '*» Secretary
Blusncd.
James B Reynolds, Mayor Low's
secretary, doesn't smoke. If offered
a cigar he shakes his head and says,
mournfully:
"No, I never smoke."
Recently some one in the City
Hall a^ked him the reason be al-
ways declined in such a mournful
tone.
"Possibly because it always sug-
gests a very humiliating incident," '
replied Mr. Reynolds. "Some yeais
ago, while I was traveling abroad,
I went to a dinner in Budapest.
The girl I took in to dinner was a
very charming young Hungarian
By means of our common German,
we were soon acquainted, and I had
begun to be very much fascinated
with my fair companion. Presently
the cigarettes were passed, and my
friend, having daintily picked out I
one, offered me the box, and as f
usual, I declined, explaining that I j
didn't smoke. |
"She looked at me for a moment
in surprise, and then queried, with
mock deference, as she poised her
cigarette gracefully between her
fingers:
"I trust it would not annoy you
if I should smoke '
"lam sure I blushed."— N Y.

MAKEL.MOREL
^^ M O NE Y ^ S
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 Oieless 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.
jm^t.
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,
'il,
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.

lar to the trade:
New York, April i, 1902..
Dear Sir: We beg to inform you
that we have opened a Branch of
our Mexico Factory at 1261 Broad-
way, New York.
Our brands. "Red Top," "La
Mascota" and "Preciosos" are
made of the choicest and purest
Mexican tobacco, exceedingly
aromatic, coming from our own
plantations in Mexico, and possess
ing all the desired qualities previous
to being placed before the consumer.
They have the following good
points: distinctly different from
other flavors, the aroma of the
finest Havana cigar, but mild enough
to inhale without discomfort.
All our cigarettes are made by a
crimping process, without any glue
or paste.
We feel confident that our cigar-
ettes will find ready sale, as, once
the public has tasted them, they are
sure to become favorites
We gladly will ship you by return
of mail samples for distribution
amongst your customers who are
fond of a good cigarette.
A liberal discount will leave you
a good margin of profit, and solicit-
ing your patronage, we remain,
Yours very respectfully.
El Bukn Tono Co.,
Ernesto Puoibkt, General Manager.
THE TRADE IN READING.
Reading, Pa., March 29, 1902.
Cigar manufacturers here who
have not yet received their internal
revenue rebate from the government ^
on cigar stamps will not get it for
some time. Quite a number have
already received theirs, through
previous application before the ap-
propriation for the purpose was ex-
hausted. The rest will have to wait
until another appropriation is made.
The Bon Ton Cigar Co. have
rented the store room at the south-
west corner of 9th and Elm streets,
and take possession on April ist.
New fixtures have been ordered.
Pool tables will be added, and read-
ing, card and smoking rooms pro-
vided for the use of the patrons of
the place. The company manu
factures a number of its own brands.
J. L. Greene, of J. L. & M F.
Greene, leaf tobacco buyers, is in
Wisconsin buying tobacco in that
district. He writes that the crop
was short and that he is merely
buying the best lots now available.
The firm reports the sale of leaf to
bacco as improving and that the
trade is in good shape Large ship-
ments are made every day.
William H. Yocum, of Yocum
Bros , cigar manufacturers, left on
a three weeks business trip through
the west, going as far as Denver
and other points. Their factory has
had a very large run on 10 cent
goods all winter, and they report
the outlook as being very favorable.
The Lyons Cigar Co. is running
with about forty hands at present,
but the firm hopes to increase this
number considerably during the
month of April, as several large
orders for the best hand-made goods
have been booked. The firm enjoys
a large run on its "Primrose" and
"West" brands.
Mrs. L M. Donnahower, the
only women in Reading, operating
a cigar factory .retired from business
She sold the 2^2 story brick dwell-
ing and factory, at 963 North nth
j street to grocer Elmer Boyer, and
will hereafter live in private. Mrs.
Donnahower conducted the factory
ever since the death of her husband,
which occurred several years ago
She had a number of popular brands
on the market which she disposed
of to other manufacturers.
The show window of the cigar
I store of J . S. Blome was broken into
several nights ago and robbed of
over $50 worth of choice cigars and
smokers' goods. There is no clue
to the identity of the burglars.
Cigar manufacturer Harvey J.
Hetrick has placed a handsome new j
delivery wagon on the streets.
George Fitchthorn, charged with
operating a slot machine and selling
cigars, cigarettes and tobacco to
minors, was sentenced to three
months in the Berks county jail, by
Judge Ermentrout. Two other
charges were held over him provid-
ing he returns the slot machine.
This he was unable to do, and it is
likely his sentence will be increased.
Charles Dengler, cigar manufac-
turer at Dengler 's, received an
order for 10,000 of his "My Boy"
a popular nickel brand, from a
CSTABLISHCO 1871

Dengler will take charge of the

this season, but will continue to

vices of a competent foreman for his
factory.
The windowsat Potteiger's Model
Cigar Store have been dressed with
an attractive display of "Tulpe

factured by Lengel & Ernst, this
city. The firm reports a large in-
crease in the output of this brand.
A busy cigar manufacturer is E.
E. Kahler. His factory is running
on full time, and orders are rapidly
coming in for the spring trade He
received orders for the "Ben Aus
trian"and "Neil Burgess" amount-
ing to 155,000 cigars. Mr. Kahler
recently received a handsome and
costly lithograph from Germany,
through Wolf & Bro., of Philadel
phia, which he is distributing
among the local trade. It is a
reproduction of one of Ben Aus
trian's paintings, and represents a
number of small chicks in a work
basket. Mr. Kahler says he can
use a few more cigar makers and
strippers, but that they are hard to
get. The recent storms somewhat
interfered with business throughout
the state but now everything is
moving along smoothly. Pompkv.

Growing Tobacco in Tents.
The accompanying illustration
shows an eight acre field of Sumatra
tobacco, under tenting cloth, and
was taken on the farm of Ariel
Mitchelson at Tariffville, Connecti
cut. It is one of several fields cul
tivated under shade by Mr. Mitchel
son in 1901, the area which was
cultivated amounted in all to about
twenty acres. Twelve other growers
adopted the same method on a
smaller scale in Connecticut and
Massachusetts in 1901 , and the area
grown in this way was 43 acres.
Mr. Mitchelson is regarded as the
pioneer in the commercial introduc
tion of this system of tobacco culti
vation in New England, for up to
the time that he went into it so
heavily last spring, the only shade
grown tobacco produced in the
north had been an experimental
one-third of an acre grown at
Poquonock by the state and govern
ment experiment people in 1900.
The necessity for having a strong
specially made fabric to cover the
tents and withstand the hail, wind
and weather, turned the attention
of Connecticut people toward in-
•venting a new cloth, and the result
of the work of the combined ex
perts and practical growers is a tent
ing cloth which has a corded sel
vage and concentrated filling every
5^ f«et. and which is quite a dif-
ferent thing from the ordinary
cheese cloth which was used in
1900, and an improvement on the
cloth which was used in 1901. This
new cloth is made at the mills of
J. H.Lane&Co , in Easthampton.
Mass , and has been named the
Ariel Tenting Cloth, in honor of
AN EIGHT-ACKB COVKKED TOBACCO KIEL!) IN CONNECTICUT.
Mr. Ariel Mitchelson. It is made
in widthsof 126 144 and 200 inches
and is claimed to be the only cloth
made specially for this purpose Its
superiority to the cloths used in
1900 and 1901 will undoubtedly do
much toward perfecting; the success
of the new industry
The Sumatra tobacco produced
on the eight acre field illustrated
averaged about 1.500 or 1,60 >
pounds to the acre before sweating,
and it is now with other Connecti
cut shade grown leaf, awaiting an
auction sale in New York under
the government auspices, the
growers having united in arranging
to have their crops sold at one time
under the direction of a committee
appointed by the Secretary of .Agri-
culture, of which E. Stevens Henry,
of the First District of Connecticut,
is chairman. The date of the sale
Has not been definitely fixed, but it
will probably be about May i.
The largest grower of shade to
bacco in 1902 will very probably be
the Connecticut Tobacco corpora
tion. of which company several
Hartford people are stockholders.
and of which Ariel Mitchelson is
secretary and treasurer and Marcus
L Floyd general manager. This
company proposes to grow more
than 100 acres on its plantation in
Tariflfvilie. under shade. The firm
of Olds & Whipple, of Hartford,
will also engage in the growing of
tobacco in shad?? extensively in
Suffield and Windsor, while the
Ackerlv Tobacco company, incor-
portated. has recently purchased
nearly 200 acres in Granby, jnst
across the river from Tariffville. and
will cultivate 10 acres under cloth.

A Georgian Snuff Box.
Though fallen from your high degree,
Once tapped by princely fingers,
You breathe of more than "burnt rappee. ' '
Round you a memory lingers
Of those wild days of wine and wit,
Of patch, peruke and passion.
When sprightly Oldfield ruled the pit.
And Hervey led the fashion.
When Walpole trimmed the ship of State
To meet each Tory billow,
When "poet Pug" lampooned the great.
When Pulteney played Spadillo,
When "worthless Moll" amused the
Court
With philosophic chatter.
When Bolingbroke pledged deep in port
"The King across the water."
When flashed the lightnings of the Dean
To blind the eje of Stella,
When scofiing Congreve viewed with
spleen
The wares of Gay prunella;
When, seated with the board's delights
(For Georgian bucks were gluttons).
The town sparks sought the shades of
"White's"
Or tossed the dice at "Button's "
Old snuff box, could you thrill to speech.
In gossip none were greater.
Whose chronicles exceed the reach
Of "Tattler" or "Spectator."
But, ah! as dumb as dead Queen Anne,
You lie in peace unbroken —
A remnant of the Georgian span,
A Hanoverian token!
— London Spectator.

[Special to The Tobacco World.]
Habana, 27 de Marzo de 1902.
News received from all the sec-
tions in the country where tobacco
is grown on this never too highly
spoken of Island of Cuba for its
justly celebrated tobacco, is that
6ne clear weather is prevailing, and
the tobacco which has been cut and
is hanging on the poles in the barns
is drying off as well as can be de-
sired, and that which still remains
growing in the fields looks well in
general. The crop of Vuelta Abajo
is short, owing to so little rain hav-
ing fallen during the early planting
season and will find ready buyers,
in fact quite a number of vegas
have been sold already, the farmers
receiving high prices for them. In
the city of Havana next to nothing
remains of last year's vueltas, that
is in first hands, and anyone com
ing down here now would have
hard work to buy good vueltas ex-
cept at fancy prices. Of course,
lots can be found here and there,
but they are scarce.
Semi Vuelta will also produce a
short.crop. Very little was planted
for the reason that they had no rain
! when they wanted to break up the
soil, and others who did plant early
; saw their seedlings burned up by
I the strong sun, and later on, when
rain did come, the seedling farms
were pretty nearly exhausted and
not all of the farmers had money
with which to buy new seedlings,
or could they find anyone to ad-
vance them the money or who
would sell them on credit. Of old
Semi only a few lots remain in the
city, and in the country there is
nothing.
Partidos, while it suflfered a good
1
deal this year also from the lack of
rain, still in most of its districts
irrigation plants are in use, and so
they do not have to depend upon
the elements for their water, but
can supply that nourishment to the
plant when it is needed, and of all
the tobacco raised on the Island
this year the best crop will be from
the Partidos, and some very fine
wrappers will be packed in the
towns: Alquirar, Guira de Melena,
San Antonio de losBanos, Gabriel^
Salud, Santiago de les Vegas, etc.
Of fine Partido wrappers those who ^^
came here early in the season found flfj^
what they needed, but now few
fine lots are to be had. Partido
fillers are also scarce, and good prices
are easily obtained.
Remedios is very far behind this
year, and up to now not very much
tobacco has been cut. This section
of the country suflfered most from
the continued drought, and the to-
baccos which were planted early
remained dormant for a long time.
Still, rains which fell later on have
somewhat helped the crop, but it
will be only about one third as large
as the last one, and in a number of
cases unhealthy leaf is all that can
be expected. Notwithstanding,
there are sections which will pro-
duce as good a leaf as ever was pro-
duced, but these will be few. In
the market there is still to be had
some of the 1899- 1900 crop of first
and second capaduras, and of the
1900- 1 90 1 crop the greater part is
yet unsold, that is of the first and
second capaduras which are used in
your market, but as soon as the
tariflf in the United States is reduced
it is expected that the good class of
tobacco will soon change bands.
In fact, a number of sample bales
are at present in the States repre-
senting large vegas and escojidas,
and decisions are awaited when the
reduction takes place if not possi-
bly before. The market is fairly
active and prices hold firm, and
while it is true that a good many
American houses who visit this
market do not buy as heavily at a
time as formerly, still they make v<J ^^
trips oftener, and in the course of ffK,/^P
the year it amounts to about the
same thing.
Luis Marx, who owns the "Zor-
rilla" and "San Antonio" farms in
the heart of the Tumbadero dis-
trict, arrived recently from New
York and will risit his plantations
to see how his tobacco is drying in
the barns, having cut up to now
enough for about 2,500 bales, the
greater part of which will be wrap-
per tobacco, as he grew extensively
under cheese-cloth, besides having
natural shade on his farms from
orange trees, the tobacco turning
out large, silky, spotless, and above
all, perfectly sound, so he has a
crop that anyone could envy.

Eastern Tobacco Reports.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
There is only occasionally a sale
made where the price obtained is
given, and yet there are many sales
reported . So far as we are informed
as to prices, they range higher and
higlier from month to month, but
are still too low. Considerable pre-
paration seems to be going forward
for growing shaded wrappers. At
Hatfield our correspondent, Alfred
H. Graves, is to put in about six
acres, and Benjamin M. Warner
the same amount, and Lewis Kings-
ley a couple of acres; and quite
likely two others will try an acre
each. So at Whately L. F. Graves
will enlarge the business to some
extent. At Agawam, Feeding Hills
and Southwick, and possibly some
other towns in Massachusetts, we
hear of sales of light wrappers at
50c and through crops at 20c as-
-sorted, but holders don't care to
sell more at those prices.
Our correspondents write :
Feeding Hills: "The last of the
tobacco sold is to be delivered this
week, one or two small crops, which
are being assorted. Only one of
the buyers backed out entirely from
taking what he had bargained for.
He had never bargained for so
much before, or oflFered so high
prices; but after a time it was all
sold, yet at a great reduction in
prices. They bargained at 23 to
24 cents, but had to accept of 13
cents, and even 12 cents at the last
The bulk of the growers will raise
fully their usual crop, while a few
will make a large increase, so the
crop will be fully 25 per cent,
larger."
Hinsdale: "Smith farm will have
25 acres under shade and 100 acres
out. This last is to be surrounded
with cloth, to keep out fleas and
grasshoppers."
Northfield: "It is reported that
tobacco in this town is about all
picked up. Warren Wright sold
and drew it to South Vernon. In-
dications are of an early spring."
Simsbury: "A friend writes me
that quite extensive fields of shaded
leaf are to be raised this season
He has the oversight of some 15
acres for New York parties. The
outside grown fields will be about
as usual. We shall be pleased to
hear from him from time to time of
results."
Wethersfield: " We report the
following crops of tobacco: J R.
Anderson and Frank Warner sold
to Fuller of Hartford; John Warner,
William Shorts and Edgar Smith
to Millerof Hartford; CharlesSmith.
E J. Bulkley his Havana, and Fred
Hale to Mitchelson. Prices said to
be paid from 10 to 14c through."
^ Hinsdale: "I have to report the
sale of one small lot, S Bachelder,
1.200 pounds in the bundle, at 7c.
There are several nice lots in town,
but they refuse to sell at oflFers of
from 6 to 10 cents, and will assort
rather than give away the goods."
Whately: "Lyman A. Crafts sold
II acres at 16 cents. Mrs. R. M.
Swift, 10 acres at 16 cents, and
Wells I. Smith. 12 acres to the
American Tobacco Company, in
bundle, at 13)^ cents. '
North Hadley: I have assorted
my crop and have sold it by grades
and it netted me a little better than
20^ cents per pound A neighbor,
who raised 30 acres, has just sold
at i2}4 cents. The crop was about
as good as mine, and now he is
kicking himself all over town and
says he was in too much of a hurry
That has been the trouble witli
most of them. They seemed to
tumble over each other in their
haste, to dispose of their crops " —

the local market. J. T. Skinner

some of which has been taken in at
the railroad station and shipped;
shipments have also been made
from the warehouses K. S Falk
and J M. Falk, of New York, have
been receiving some of the earlier
purchases mad>- by their firm, about
400 cases being taken in on Tues-
day and Wednesday and shipped to

In regard to the use, in certain

of a label printed in Spanish, the
Commissioner has called attention
to section 8 of the act of July 24,
1897, which provides that all im-
ported goods shall be labeled in
legible English words to indicate
the country of origin. The use of
strips to simulate the import stamp
is another practice contrary to the

Refilling Boxes of Potto Rican Cigars.
Complaint was recently made
that boxes which had contained
Porto Rican cigars were being re-
filled, and it was suggested that
boxes of cigars coming from Porto
Rico should be required to bear the
caution notice label required for ci-
gars of domestic manufacture. The
Commissioner stated, in reply, that
while the act of April 12, 1900, does
not provide for the use of a caution
label similar to that used by manu
facturers on domestic cigars, the
refilling of these boxes is a violation
of the provisions of section 3392 of
the Revised Statutes, relating to
the re use of boxes, and vigorous
measures will be taken to repress
this unlawful refilling of Porto
Rican cigar boxes.

Purchase and Sale of Leaf Tobacco.
In passing upon an inquiry
whether a person could go to a to-
bacco growing State, purchase to
bacco before it was cut, cure it, and
afterwards bring it into his own
district, and travel from place to
place and peddle the tobacco with-
out the payment of tax, the Com-
missioner held that though a person
might purchase tobacco before it is
severed from the land, or make a
contract of purchase under which it
was to be delivered to him when
severed, this would not exempt him
from the operations of the statute
requiring such tobacco to be prop-
erly packed, labeled and stamped
before being sold for consumption,
and as provided by the Regulations,
No. 8, pages 5, 6 and 7, to which
attention was called.
Manufacture of Cigars by Leal Growers.
A cigar leaf tobacco grower, who
reported that he proposed to manu-
facture cigars from tobacco which
he raised himself, and who inquired
whether he would be required to
qualify as a manufacturer and pay
tax on the cigars, was advised that
every person who makes cigars for
himself, or employs others to make
or manufacture cigars is regarded as
a manufacturer of cigars within the
meaning of the law, and is required
to make return on Form 1 1 and pay
special tax; and in addition to this
requirement, must file a statement
on Form '^^Vi and give a bond,
Form 100, in the penal sum re
quired by the collector of Internal
Revenue for his district, and that
the fact that he raised his tobacco
material did not change the status
of the case.
Manufacturers' Bonds.
A cigar manufacturer, who ap-
pealed to the Commissioner from
the order of his collector to file a
new bond, was advised that section
3387 of the R. S., provides that
manufacturers shall give a bond in
such penal sum as the collector may
require, and the penal sum of said
bond may be increased from time to
timeand additional sureties required ,
at the discretion of the collector, or
tinder the instructions of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue. If
a surety dies or becomes insolvent.
or if the manufacturer increases his
annual output, making a new bond
necessary, it is the duty of the col-
lector to require a new bond. He
has sole charge of such matters,
and it would be useless to appeal a
case unless the p::'nal sum fixed in
the bond is excessive.
Exportation of Manufactured Tobacco.
A tobacco manufacturer who in
quired whether he could send cer-
tain unstamped packages of tobacco
to one of the South American States
through the mail, or whether he
would be required to export the to-
bacco in bond from his factory, was
advised that all tobacco, however
prepared, manufactured and sold,
or removed for consumption or sale
in the United States, must be put
up in statutory quantities and prop
I erly labeled and stamped before re-
moval from the factory, and that
tobacco which was intended for ex
port must be exported in bond, as
provided by the Regulations, No
8, pages 81 to 96, inclusive. Also
that section 3, article 16, of the
Universal Postal Union Convention
prohibits the importation through
the mails of articles liable to cus-
toms duty, and sections 4 and 5 of
that article modified section 3 to
the extent of reserving to the
government of any country of the
Postal Union the right to deliver
or to refuse to deliver articles im
ported in the mails and liable to
customs duty. Stamped packages
of manufactured tobacco found in
the mails of the United States are
held to be illegal and prohibited;
but if exported from one country
to another through the mails such
packages can be returned recipro-
cally, without charge to the govern
I ment from whence the tobacco was
'\ first mailed. If imported tobacco
is found in the mails in the United
States in small quantities it is sub*
ject to seizure, there being no evi
dence connected with the packages
showing payment of duty and In
ternal Revenue tax, and the same
ruling prevails as to unstamped
packages of domestic tobacco found
in the mails. The Department has
decided that whtre the importation
of a dutiable article is small and
made by mail, such articles, in the
absence of fraud, may be released
to the owner or consignee or his
assign, upon the payment of duty
and the Internal Revenue tax, if a
taxable article.

and each man before whom, be- the finest looking woman at the highly. And, besides, the pinch Icon afterward recalled at St.
Helena, that she was the wife of
the richest manufacturer of tobacco
in France.
Now, the accounts given of the
re-establishment of the state mono-
poly in tobacco in France by Napo-
leon in 1810, in the histories and
books to which I have referred, say
that the quantity and value of tht
jewels worn by Madame R at
the Tuileries ball served to open
the eyes of the Emperor to the value
of tobacco as a source of revenue
to the state, and that if it had not
been for the lady 's fondness for dis-
play, the business of growing to-
bacco and of dealing in the raw and
manufactured product would have
remained free in France, as it be-
came in 1 79 1, but this is not the
truth. At least it is not wholly the
truth. Napoleon cared nothing
for Madame R 's jewels; at any
rate he cared no more for her
side whom or behind whom he
chanced to stop in his progress. It
was only when he was most gracious
that the little ogre scattered these 1
epithets abroad indifferently. Usu-
ally he reserved them for his fa-
miliars.
The scene on the occasion of
which I am speaking was as bril-
liant as any state function the world
has ever beheld. The fairest women
and the handsomest men, in cos-
tumes as gorgeous and as harmoni-
ous as the ablest deviser of stage
pictures could have planned, had
the whole affair been left to him,
were there to do honor to the
marvelous Corsican, who at that
moment was at the very zenith of
his power and glory.
Napoleon circled the room with
his head drooping forward and his
hands clasped behind his back, save
when he advanced his right hand
in order to pinch the ear of some
man or some woman, and to ask in
the one case, "Well, you block-
head, how goes it?" or in the other,
"You ninny, where did you get
those jewels?" The courtiers con-

The states from the Cigar Man's Point of View.
XXX.
COLORADO.
More lo cent cigars are smoked
in the state of Colorado, in propor-
tion to the population, than are
smoked in any state in the Union.
Colorado is to- day what it has al-
ways been, namely, one vast sani-
tarium, and mixed in with its
health- seekers are those who work
its mines and plough its fields. In
stntiment the state is as eastern as
Boston Common, and, indeed, of
the scores of thousands of weak
lunged people who perforce make
Colorado their home a great many,
and possibly the majority, come
from out New England way. Most
of those who live in Colorado be-
cause they can live nowhere else,
arc well- to do and rather highly
cultured people, who, if they smoke
at all, naturally smoke only the
better grades of cigars.
Many people coming to Colorado
for the first time, who at home were
addicted t^ the smoking habit, find
at first that they do not derive as
much enjoyment from the cigar as
before. Some of them cease to
smoke entirely upon settling down
in Colorado. Owing to the ex-
ceeding dryness of the climate all
cigars not kept in humidors dry out
very quickly, and no smoker really
enjoys a cigar that burns like tinder.
Wealthy men in England, it is true,
are in the habit of "ageing" cigars
as they age wines, but the damp
climate of England preserves cigars
in a fresh condition for an indefinite
time. Not so the rarified air of al-
titudinous Colorado. In Denver,
in Colorado Springs, in Pueblo, in
fact in every town in the state, the
retailer has a steady fight to keep
his cigars in that condition of fresh-
ness which is so dear to the heart
of the American smoker.
For a period of many years, in
fact down to about 1885, humidors
were very rare in the cigar stores in
Colorado,but since about 1885 every
cigar store in the state is fitted up
with a system of these indispensable
appliances. The result Is that since
1885 the cigar selling and the cigar
manufacturing industries of Col-
orado have expanded wonderfully.
While Colorado is visited by the
representatives of all the ambitious
eastern manufacturers, each of whom
has more or Itss of a clientele, the
state has many thriving cigar fac-
tories of its own, and these turn out
a number of brands which are all
the time growing in popular favor.
XXXI
WYOMING.
V/yoming is so very English that
it is almost cockney. There are
many Englishmen in Wyoming,
engaged in the stock raising busi-
ness, and these remain firm ad-
herents of the pipe and very seldom
buy cigars. In Cheyenne and Lar-
amie, among American tobacco
lovers the cigar is as popular as it
is in all the other towns in the
United States, but as a whole Wy-
oming cannot be considered a para-
dise by cigar travelers.
XXXII
UTAH
A rich church but a poor congre-
gation. Outside of Ogden, which
is practically a railway station and
very little else, and Salt Lake City,
which is only reasonably cosmopcl-
itan, the cigar has mighty few de*
votees in Utah. The farming popu-
lation of the state is too poor and
too much ur der the eye of emissaries
of the Tabernacle, which hates to-
bacco, to be able to indulge in ci-
gars, and those who work the mines
of the state prefer the pipe.
XXXIII
ARIZONA
Cigars are bought and sold in
Tucson, Phoenix and Tombstone,
but in quantities so inconsiderable
as to be scarce worth mentioning.
XXXIV
NEW MEXICO
New Mexico is, all things con-
sidered, a good cigar state. It is
fairly[rich, with, injcertain sections,
a settled population descended from
Spanish forbears, and it has in other
sections several resorts much af-
fected by well-to-do health-seekers.
The four centers of the state where
the buying and selling of cigars
flourish as industries are Albuquer-
que, Las Vegas, R.,sewell and
Santa Fe.

The certificate of incorporation
of the International Tobacco Culture
corporation has been filled at East
Hartford, Conn. The purposes of
the company, as stated in the certi-
ficate, are to buy, own, rent, hire,

Texas Leads Claims In Tobacco
Rebate.
Collector P. B. Hunt, at Dallas,
Tex., has received information from
Washington, that an appropriation
of $3,150,000 has been made for
the payment of the tobacco rebate
claims, and warrants are being
drawn against this appropriation at
the rate of 800 to i ,000 ptr day for
the payment of the claims. There
have been more than 48,000 claims
passed.
The fourth district of Texas had
the largest number of any district
in the United States, over 2,300
claims having been submitted, ex-
amined and certified by the Dallas
office. If a claim was irregular or
incorrect it was cut out from the
regular order so that the other
claims would not be delayed. It
is expected that the warrants for
that district will be received during
the latter part of April, and they
will be mailed in every case as
quickly as they can be recorded.
It is anticipated that trouble may
arise in many cases by reason of
imperfect indorsements of these
warrants, and the Collector is fur-
nished with explicit directions in
this respect.
Collector Hunt states that it is
not necessary for claimants to write
regarding their claims, as Treasury
warrants will be forwarded to them
as soon as received at his office,
scheduled and recorded. Should
any defects be found in the claims
requiring amendment, the claimants
will be notified as soon as his office
is advised by Washington.

FIORODORA CIGARS.
The above is a fac- simile of an
advertisement which is just now
familiar to all readers of the daily
newspapers. i
The aim of the manufacturers is
to give the public a cheap, clean,
good smoke, something between
cheroots and the better grades of
five cent cigars, and the attempt
appears to be entirely successful.
Retailers who handle the "Floro-
dora" brand agree in saying that it
is the rapidest of sellers, and that
the man who once buys three of
them is always certain to come
back for more. '
The filler of the "Florodora" is
Havana, and the cigar is mild and
pleasant, and just what the adver-
tisement says it is, "gracious to the
nerves."
To Renew War on Cigarettes.
Lucy Page Gaston is on the eve
of another crusade against the sale
of cigarettes and tobacco to minors,
and lately had a conference with the
Illinois State Attorney, for the pur-
pose of getting encouragement in !
her plans and pointers as to the most
effective evidence before a justice.
Miss Gaston told of the discovery of
an Illinois law theexistenceof which
is not generally known, whereon she
counts for assistance in her work.
This law makes it a misdemeanor to
sell tobacco in any form to persons
under sixteen years of age. The
organization of which Miss Gaston
is the leader is said to have secured
the services of detectives to aid in
the enforcement of tht law.

How Little Those English Know Us.
In a review of the so-called to-
bacco war now waging in Great
Britain, an English newspaper,
notorious the world over for its
hatred of everything American, tak-
ing for its text the offer of the
"American invader" to donate all
of its profits and ,/|^2oo,ooo to its
customers, for the next four years,
said on March 28: "English capi-
talists will risk millions in a trade
war with the greatest pluck, but
American capitalists will actually
sacrifice them rather than be beaten
Such wars are the enjoyment of
their otherwise rather dull and over-
worked life. They will feel dis
graced if they do not win, and will
stake their last dollar rather than
be pitied on exchanges, which to
them are fields of glory or humilia-
tion. What else have they to live
for? Politics offers no career. They
cannot found families, in the Eng
lish sense, and as for luxury, they
enjoy it like the Roman nobles
when they have it, or do without in
serene content."
The man who wrote the sentences
just quoted is lucky to be able to
draw a salary from a sleepy, fine
writing old London weekly. He
couldn't hold a job for three days
on an American newspaper, not be
cause his English would be too fine
for us, but because he writes such
infernal nonsense. It is not true
that American capitalists will sacri-
fice their last dollar in a losing fight,
for no business men in the world's
history have ever been either so
far-sighted or so cold while at the
same time knowing how to make
the first dollar do as much as the
last or any intermediate ones.
As to our ability to enjoy life and
all its good things, it is only neces-
sary to say that if it were not for us
Americans the European designers
and manufacturers of articles of lux-
ury would starve to death. And as
to founding families, we are doing
that to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned.
It is perfectly safe to to say that
before the tobacco war in England
comes to an end, and it can end
only in one way, and that is a com-
plete victory for the Americans, the
English newspapers will know a
great deal more about Cousin
Jonathan than they have heretofore
known, and it will do them a world
of good, too.
Justice Brewer delivered the
opinion of the United States Su-
preme Court in the case of James D.
Patton vs. Maggie A. Brady, exe-
cutor of theestate of James D. Brady ,
Collector of the Internal Revenue
for the Second District of Virginia.
This case involved the constitu-
tionality of the portion of the War
Revenue act increasing the tax ion
tobacco from 6 cents to 12 cents
per pound. The conclusion of the
Court was announced to be that "it
is within the power of Congress to
increase an excise as well as a prop-
erty tax, and that such an increase
may be made at least while the
property is held for sale and before
it has passed into the hands of the
consumer, and that it is no part of
the function of a court to inquire
into the reasonablenessof the excise,
either as respects the amount or the
property upon which it is imposed.
The act is controversy, so far as the
charge by this plaintiff is con-
cerned, is constitutional."
With a view to disseminating
tobacco statistics throughout the
world and creating abroad an in-
creased demand for American goods,
the Tobacco Association of the
United States has just madearrange-
ments with the Statistical Bureau
o\ the Treasury Department, at
Washington, to get such statistics,
properly tabulated and printed,
ready for distribution. It is believed
that by spreading this information
broadcast and letting those outside
of this country knew better what is
here in the way of tobacco, the de-
sired result can be brought about.
Representatives of box man-
ufacturers, leaf tobacco houses, ci-
gar manufacturers and the cigar-
makers' union met at Labor head-
quarters Kansas City, last week and
discussed ways and means by which
it is hoped that the sale of cigars
manufactured in Kansas City may
be increased.
The Output of the tobacco in-
dustries of Pennsylvania for Febru-
ary, 1902, according to the revenue
reports, amounted to 123,392,440
cigars, 79.500 little cigars, 3 295,
250 cigarettes, 336,690 pounds of
chewing and smoking tobacco, and
356,998 pounds of snuff.

The Clear Havana Manufacturers
Association Presents a Brief
to the Committee on Ways
and Means.
At a meeting of the Executed
Committee of the Havana Cigar
Manufacturers' Association in New
York on April i , the following brief
was adopted and the same has been
forwarded to Washington:
To the Honorable Chairman and Mem-
bers of the Committee on Ways and
Means of the House cf Representa-
tives—
Gentlemen: Having in view
the proposed reduction in the duties
upon leaf tobacco imported into the
United States from Cuba, we wish,
for the reason set forth below, to
respectfully call your attention to
the interests of our industry, the
manufacture of clear Havana cigars
in the United States, in the framing
of the bill designed to effect any
such proposed changes.
In the carrying on of our line of
business, it is necessary that manu
facturers constantly keep in stock
a large supply of leaf tobacco, and
this for the obvious reason that they
must be prepared to keep their
factories supplied with raw material,
which must be readily accessible —
in other words, stored in their fac-
tories. Therefore any change that
might be inaugurated in the duties
upon leaf tobacco would entail
large pecuniary losses upon those
engaged in this industry, unless
your committee, in its wise discre-
tion, shall protect us, in the fram-
ing of the act, by providing a rebate
for leaf tobacco on hand at the time
of the going into effect of that act,
covering any difference between the
duties we have paid and the new
schedule.
We respectfully submit that such
changes as may be made in the
tariff for the benefit of Cuba should
not work unnecessary hardship and
loss upon those who have built up
an extensive industry in the United
States, and especially as from the
very nature of that industry we are
required to carry in stock large
quantities of Cuban leaf tobacco,
upon which, should we not be so
protected, we must inevitably suffer
great losses; and unless we are as-
sured of the rebate, we shall be
obliged, in order to protect our-
selves, to greatly reduce our pro-
duction, with the result that a great
percentage of our workmen will be
thrown out of employment, until
such time as the going into effect
of an act adopted by Congress def-
reduction on the duty would be
$11 65 per M.
If the cost in Cuba siiould be $50
per M. and the weight 12 lbs, the
reduction on the duty would be
$13.30 per M.
If the cost in Cuba should be
$60 per M and the weight 12 lbs,
the reduction would be $ 1 3 80 per M.
If the cost in Cuba should be $75
and the weight 13 lbs, the reduc-
tion would be $15 45 per M.
Calculating that the cost of the
cigars in Cuba is $100 per M. and
the weight 14 lbs, the approximate
reduction of 20 per cent, would be
$17.60 per M.
As to the raw material or leaf
tobacco: To calculate the duty on
wrapper and filler, based on the
average amount of duty collected
by the United States, the reduction
of the duty on each thousand cigars
of 20 lbs of leaf would be 1.50. If
the size should cost $45 per M. in
Cuba, and the weight be 9 lbs per
M., the reduction in the duty would
be $10 35 per M.

In the picture above, which is published through the courtesy of
Larerge &. Schneider, are given faithful representations of scenes, inci
dents, and persons on an inscription day in the Frascati in Amsterdam
The face to the left, at the top, is that of P. W. Janssen. founder
and for many years Director General of the Deli Maatschappij ; that on
the left is his successor, Mr. C. van der Honert. In the center is seen
the representative of one of the plantation companies, in the act of an-
nouncing the name of the successful bidder for a lot of tobacco. Pan-
demonium usually breaks loose upon each such announcement, and
throngs of men immediately rush into the office of the broker who hap-
pens t© represent the winner. Under a magnifying glass, the use of
which will well repay whomsoever studies this picture, may be seen the
names of certain well known brokers over their respective office doors.
Immediately beneath the picture of the Frascati is a drawing of the
so-called Gebing bridge, leading from the Voorburgwal to the Frascati.
Beneath this drawing again is a group of Dutchmen. Two of those
in the foreground are well known in the United States. The short-
haired, hatless gentleman is Mynheer Kppo Harkema,and the gentleman
to whom he is addressing himself, namely the Dutchman with the em-
bonpoint, is Mr. Hans Laverge. The artist has been slightly unkind
to Mr. Laverge, for Mr. Laverge is not fat.
The next detail of the picture which is worth studying is that im-
mediately beneath Mr. van der Honert's portrait, above which the artist
has written the word "America." The tall, hatless, bald-headed gentle-
man is Mr. Wolters, of the brokerage house of J. H. A. Gebing, of Am-
sterdam.
Among the faces in this group may be recognized those of Benno
Neuberger, Max Adler, Leopold Loeb, and others.
The magnifying glass, the employment of which in the study of
this picture has already been suggested, will bring out with great clear-
ness the further details of this brilliant and interesting work of art, and
make clear not only the scramble incident to a Sumatra inscription, but
also the severe mental and spiritual wear and tear to which the buyers
are subjected.

Roth, Bruner & Feist, of Cincin-
nati, manufacturers of the "War
Eagle" and other brands of cheroots,
last week sold their business to the ;
American Tobacco Company. It
is said the firm's annual output of <
cheroots was between 40,000,000!
and 50,000,000. The "War Eagle"
brand enjoyed an extensive sale in
almost every part of the United
States.
It is not known what price Roth,
Bruner & Feist obtained for their
business, but it is believed to have
been a good one, because in trans- '
actions of this kind the American
Tobacco Company is known to be
liberal.
The firm of Roth, Bruner & Feist
is an old one. For a number of years
it was the largest cigar manufac-
turing concern in Cincinnati.
The purchase of this business
wipes out the only large competitor
in the cheroot manufacturing field
which the American Tobacco Com-
pany had.

A fad in jewelry which has a
peculiar interest for cigar manu-
facturers is just beginning its career
in New York. It is of the creation
of August Goldsmith, of the big
jewelry manufacturing and diamond
importing firm of Stern Bros. & Co.
of Nassau and John streets. Upon
his return recently from one of his
trips to Europe, Mr, Goldsmith
brought with him an oil painting
which he had purchased in Amster-
dam. It occurred to him that a
reproduction, on a flat gold surface,
of tht lines of the picture should
make a good brooch. There hap
pened to be a dearth of novelty in
the jewelry line at the time, and
accordingly the completed work got
a warm welcome from the trade
Since then the lines of other pictures
have been reproduced and made
into brooches. There is no reason
why the lines of cigar labels, central
picture, medals, flowers, etc., may
not be made to adorn brooches.
Some of these labels should make
exceptionally handsome brooches,
and doubtless ere long this sugges-
tion will be adopted.

Stephen G. Ruth, the Havana
commission merchant, returned last

reports that he secured some ex-

OF The Tobacco World,
Slip, New York, April 8, 1902.
Retail cigar dealers all over
Greater New York agree with one
voice in saying that the "Flori-
dora" is the rapidest seller they
have ever known. The "Flori-
doras" go to the consumer at three
for a dime, and as they are packed
in threes and wrapped in tin foil
with a band which has a gift buy-
ing value, in every box there are
thirty three such packages. In
order to comply with the law one
extra cigar is found in every box.
Retailers say that the only disposi-
tion they can make of this cigar is
to smoke it themselves.
Advices received in New York
from Havana are to the effect that
in Government circles there the im-
pression is general that the recipro-
city which Congress will finally
grant to Cuba will be, not 20 per
cent., but 33; 3 per cent.
*
Conditions in the New York leaf
market improved somewhat during
the week ended April 5. Th« spring
animation is beginning to make it-
self felt, and importers, packers,
and jobbers all feel brighter than
they did during the previous week.
The week which began yesterday
promises to be still better, because
samples of the new Sumatra have
arrived, and the advent of new
Sumatra each year always causes a
good deal of interested talk.
The Havana market was amused
last week by a story to the effect
that a very large quantity of Reme-
dios of the 1900 crop had been sold
here for export at 7 cents. The
story was not generally credited
and is probably without foundation;
nevertheless, in the absence of any-
thing more exciting, it went the
rounds.

Meeting of the New York
Leaf Tobacco Board
of Trade.
Trustees Mlected for the
Mnsuing Year.
Delegates to the National
Convention Chosen.
At the meeting of the New York
Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, on
the afternoon of April 8th, the fol
lowing trustees were elected for the
ensuing year: Frank M. Arguim-
bau, Jesse Mayer, Walter Beer,
Lewis Cantor, Benno Neuberger,
Harry S. Rothschild, Charles Fox,
Frazler M. Dolbeer, Ferd. Cranz,
James Ertheiler, A. Cohn and Jos.
F. Cullman. !
The delegates to the National
Convention in Cincinnati on May
5, 6, 7, elected are: Sigmund Ros-
en wald, Edmond H. Smith, Ferd.
Cranz, Lewis Cantor, Abraham Bi-
jur, Avelino Pazos and Harry S
Rothschild ; alternates : Benno Neu-
berger, Jesse Mayer, Charles Fox,
M. Gershel, Joseph F. Cullman,
Fred. Frese, Morris Rossin and Sig.
Koenig.
The following motion, offered by
Abraham Bijur, provoked much
discussion :
"I move that we, the New York
Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade, take
steps to secure, at the earliest possi-
ble moment, a formal and public
disavowal, from the National Leaf
Tobacco Association, of the senti-
ments antagonistic to the principle
of a uniform duty expressed by the
President of the Association at the
hearing, given onr trade by the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House;
••And that the National Asso-
ciation submit such formal and
public disavowal, when secured, to
each member of the House Com-
mittee on Ways and Means and of
the Senate Committees on Finance
and on Foreign Relations."
Jesse Mayer was inclined to
think the motion out of order, but
the matter was not pressed.
On motion of Joseph Mendelson,
the motion was referred to the Leg-
islative Committee of the New York
Boad.
The Board voted unanimously
to support for the Presidency of the
National Association only a can-
didate who will pledge himself to
support a specific uniform duty.
The Board also agreed to work
for the election of some one of its
own members to the Presidency of
the National Association.
At a meeting of the new Board
of Trustees, after the meeting, the
following officers of the New York
Board were elected: President,
Harry S. Rothschild; Vice-Presi-
dent, Benno Neuberger; Treasurer,
Walter Beer and Secretary, Jesse
Mayer.

The extremely bad and cold
weather of the past week has cer-
tainly not been a benefit to the re-
tail cigar and tobacco trade of this
city. Yet our tradesmen are taking
things as philosophically as can be,
and are all hopeful for improved
conditions ere the time for chroni-
cling another week's report. The
dealers in some sections have, of
coarse, been more affected by the
bad wtather than those in other
sections, but all have felt it, at least
to some extent.
The premises of the H. Smeal
Cigar Co., at 221 Walnut street, are
looking handsome with the new
coat of paint and other interior and
exterior improvements which have
been given the place.
Mrs. Rebecca Teller, mother of
Frank Teller, of Frank Teller &
Co., died at her home, 903 N. 8tb
street, last week. Numerous letters
of condolence have been received by
Mr. Teller from his many acquaint-
ances in the trade.
George E. Spotz, president, and
John N. Kolb, superintendent, of
the Theobald & Oppenheimer Com-
pany, sailed on the "Kronprinz
Wilhelm ' ' yesterday for Amsterdam ,
where they will attend some of the
Amsterdam Sumatra Inscriptions.
J. A. Rigsby, of Mansfield, O.,
came on last week, and will remain
some time to assist treasurer M. D.
Theobald.
Morris D. Neumann, of M. D.
Neumann & Co. , returned last week
from an extended business trip
through the west, during which
time he made his first visit among
the trade along the Pacific coast.
He reports a fairly satisfactory
Tolame of business, and so far as
future prospects are concerned, h«
thinks they are good. Their trade
in the middle west is said to be in
good condition .
Action was brought soma weeks
ago by O. Eisenlohr & Bros, against
M. Kleinberg, alleging that he was
infringing upon their style of pack-
age, etc., in his "Chico" cigars, by
making them strikingly similar to
their "Cinco." A preliminary in-
junction was granted O. Eisenlohr
& Bros, against the defendant, who
is, however, carrying the matter to
parties are ably represented by
counsel—George S. Graham for
plaintiff and John S. Weaver for
defendant. The result is awaittd
with much interest.
mt
Reports have been circulating
here regarding the solvency of a
cigar manufacturing firm not in this
city, and as a result some sharp
correspondence has follow. A rep-
resentative of another firm was in-
advertently drawn into it, it having
been alleged that he was responsi-
ble for the circulation of these re-
ports, which, however, he stren-
uously denies. A former represen-
tative of the house said to be in-
volved, has, it is said, resigned his
position as salesman for them. We
sincerely hope that the rumors may
not be true.
Arrangements have been com-
pleted for a large smoker to be given
tonight by The Hoch Tobacco Com-
pany, to allied union trades, at which
time about 1,500 samples of the
above company's "Brotherhood"
cut plug tobacco are to be given
out. Special demonstrators have
been engaged for the work and it
promises to be the largest smoker
of its kind ever given in this city.
Several smokers have been already
given by this company to smaller
organizations, and from thirty to
forty more have been booked, and
arrangements are now being made
for them.
Wm. Taylor, manufacturer
of Taylor's "Fancy" 5c cigar, now
at 434 Race street, will remove on
April 2oth t« 1904 W. Norris street,
where he will have better conveni-
ences for the manufacture of his
goods. The new building is being
remodeled specially for his needs.
M. Scheinfeld, a few weeks ago,
opened a new wholesale and retail
cigar and tobacco store at i6th and
Ridge avenue, where some good
window displays are being made in
the two large bulk windows. Mr.
S. has been engaged in the business
for some time in another section of
the city.

ing their first anniversary at 1505

The Hoch Tobacco Company,
who are putting out the new
"Brotherhood" plug cut tobacco in
this city, are distributing sample
packagesaccompanied by the follow-
ing circular:
"This package is a Free Sample
of "Brotherhood" Cut Plug Smok-
ing Tobacco, which is made of the
best cured leaf, carefully blended,
and manufactured by Union help
exclusively. We believe it to be
the finest product ever offered in
this market, and it is sure to appeal
to all lovers of the pipe. Try it!
You will surely like it. Always
insist on getting ' ' Brotherhood' ' Cut
Plug and take no other. If your
retailer does not keep it, inform him
that he can get it at the Ofiice of
the Manufacturers, The Hoch To-
bacco Company, 248 N. Eighth
atreet, Philadelphia."
S. M. Hurlbnrt, 102 Arch street,
representing the John J. Bagley Co. ,
of Detroit, Mich., has been working
here energetically for some time for
the purpose of more widely intro-
ducing their "Buckingham" smok-
ing tobacco.
The large, and no doubt costly,
signs put up for th« "Cubanola"
cigars at Broad and Arch streets,
last year, have been painted out
during the past week, and "Sover-
eign" cigarette signs have taken
their place.
The old buildings in the vicinity
of the Sheip & Vandegrift box
factory, at 816 Lawrence street,
which are being razed to make room
for a new building, have been al-
most completely demolished, and
the fount^ation work on the new
building will be commenced forth-
with. When the addition is com-
pleted it will make an imposing
appearance, and no doubt the firm
will possess the finest looking es-
tablishment of its kind in the United
States.
The "Saturnette" Egyptian ci-
garettes of the Neill McCoull Co.
are said to have been selling quite
nicely here lately by some of our
retail dealers.
The Elk Cigar Co., at Tenth
street and Columbia avenue, is
making a specialty of "The Elk"
and the "Happiest Man on the
I Road, ' ' five cent cigars. The label
I of "The Elk" is embellished with
I a stag head in the center, while the
central figure of attraction in the
"Happiest Man on the Road" is a
half-tone reproduction from a pho-
tograph of Mr. A. Pareira, who has
spent twenty- five years on the road
as a traveling man in the leaf trade.
These brands are both made for the
Elk Cigar Co. by Mrs. Alice Mc-
Cusker, 1705 S. Fifth street, this
city, and quite a nice trade is being
done on them. 1
Eddy Cohen, of the Globe Cigar
Co., Ephrata, Pa., is to be married
on Sunday next to Miss Rebecca
Ginsburg, of this city. Mr. and
Mrs. Cohen are to reside in Read-
ing, but Mr. Cohen's business at
Ephrata will be continued just as
it is at present. Mr. Cohen has
frequently been observed by the
Paragrapher, lately, visiting Mr.
Blatt at 41st and Lancaster avenue.
The Paragrapher no longer queries
with his usual inquisitiventss about
the attraction, as Miss Ginsburg is
a close relative of Mrs. Blatt.
K. G. Steane & Co., the well-
known Chestnut street jobbing
house, report Mr. Ed. Miles, their
representative, as just returned
from a two months' trip, and that
he will now spend some weeks at
the Philadelphia office.
Huey & Christ have jnst placed
upon the market a new brand of
cigars, under the title of "Anola."
March, which was not a brilliant
month among local manufacturers,
has turned to the good in the case
of Pent Bros,, of this city, who state
that they last week scored the larg-
est sale of any week since the goods
have been on the market. They
refer, of course, to their "Tahoma"
five cent cigar.

Bromall & Wogan are having a
very successful trade upon the clear
Havana brands of Y. Pendas &
Alvarez, New York.
Among the visitors in the cigar
trade during the past week were:
W. S. Taylor, United States repre-
sentative of the Punch Factory,
Havana, and who is also president
of the Anglo-Egyptian Cigarette
Co., of New York; Mark A. Brum-
mer, with E. Regensburg & Sons,

man, the well known cigar importer,
Max Krielsheimer, of the Record

and Henry Kraus, of Kraus & Co.,
Baltimore, Md.
IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
There is little of interest to be re
ported from the leaf trade. A moder-
ate amount of business has been
done, while the visitors were not
over numerous during the past
week.

Leaf broker J. S. Batroff is now a
real Mason, having on Monday
night taken his third degree in the
secrets of the Masonic order, mak-
ing him a full-fledged member of the
Blue Lodge. At a banquet which
followed the initiatory ceremonies,
Louis Leopold, of New York, was
called upon for a speech. Mr. Leo-
pold developed the fact that he is
somewhat of a naturalist. His re-
marks were convincing of the fact
that he is specially fond of the deer
family. His delivery was some-
what inaudible, and it is just possi-
ble that he was suffering from buck
fever.
D. E. Salomon, of W. Ditten-
hoefer & Co. , last week made his
first visit since the recent accident
at Red Lion. "Dick" is himself
responsible for the statement that
he called upon sixteen of his old
customers, and that he sold at least
a small bill of goods to each of
them, with the exception of two,
which is not a bad record, and also
shows the extreme friendly relations
existing between Dick and his many
customers.
During a conversation yesterday
with J. A. Kinney, the Philadelphia

that a very satisfactory volume of
business has already been done.

ON THE BOARDWALK.
Aa Hooi Among Some of the Elite of Phil-
sdelpkia's Tobacconists at Gay Atlantic.
Among the many visitors from
the tobacco trade who visited At-
lantic City during Easter, the job-
bing trade was by no means in the
minority. The lynx eyed Para-
grapher observed the following
members of the trade, some with
their wives and otheri with — sweet-
hearts, perhaps: They were Mr. and
Mrs. H. D. Narrigan, Mr. and Mrs.

duced. He would only say: "Match-
It; Match-It, if you can, — you

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The past week has not been more
encouraging to the leaf trade than
several of the previous weeks. The
trading if confined mostly to small
quantities, and no transaction worth
special mention has been reported.
Manufacturers do not seem to be so
averse to looking at goods as they
are to definitely closing the transac-
tion. Inquiry in a general way
seems to be stronger than it has
been this year; particularly is this 1
true of some types of force sweat
goods, specially Connecticut. ^
The Sumatra market remains un-
changed. The fuller reports which
have now been received of the new '
crop do not seem to have affected
the market in any way.

The 'Pathfinder' in Scranion
About ten days ago W. K. Gresh
of vantage near Young's Pier,
calmly enjoying the ozone of tlie & 80ns, of Norristown, Pa., manu-
balmy breezes. Next we observed | facturers of the well known "Path-
the tall and stately forms of Mr. ' fi^^/'-" nickel cigar, shipped a car-
j ,, TAi_ t- t, ** TA • ,,: load of these Cigars to C. P. Wentz
and Mrs. Eberbach. Mr. E. is well ^ ^^^ ^g_^^ Lackawanna avenue,
known as a Monarch in the tobacco | Scranton, who are the sole distrib-
jobbing trade in this city, and we utors of these goods for Eastern
would not blame him if, like Rob-
inson Crusoe, he thought to him-
self.
"I am Monarch of all I survey;
My right thore is none can dispute."
Then there was Mr. and Mrs.
Narrigan, who are always congenial
and agreeable under all circum-
stances. Mrs. Narrigan is spend
ing a couple of weeks at the shore
for the benefit of her health.
Some one said, "Here comes
Charlie Clayton," but we did not
recognize him, until we heard his
familiar greeting, "How do, boss?"
Then we knew it was Charlie.
And, lo! here comes the "Match-
It" man, the original and only

Ambassador of Commerce and
venerable Knight of the Grip. But
who is his sweetheart? Well, I'll
Pennsylvania. The shipment con-
tained 750,000 cigars, and a train of
twelve drays was required to trans-
fer them from the railroad to the
warehouse.
Messrs. Wentz & Co. determined
to appropriately celebrate the arrival
of the consignment, and on the
morning of March 31 twelve drays
were driven up to the car and these
were loaded with the goods. A
procession was then formed, which
moved over several of the principal
streets. Captain T. A. Bennett, the
champion high-stepping and endur- {
ance walker of the world, hand-
somely dressed, and riding a beau-
tiful black horse, headed the line.
He was followed by Bauer's Band
after which came the dozen heavily
laden drays. The procession at-
tracted a great deal of attention, and
much favorable comment was made
about thequalityofthe" Pathfinder"
and the enterprise of Wents & Co.

Carnegie's Little Joke.
It appears that Mr. Andrew
Carnegie can figure in stories other
than those relating to the founding
of national universities, and the
donating of public libraries to com-
munitifts wealthly or otherwise. As
witness:
A short time ago an employe in
the Treasury Department at Wash-
ington had occasion to go to Pitts-
burg on a business trip. Seated in
the drawing room car he had been
killing the time reading a news-
paper, which, shortly after passing
Harrisburg, he dropped upon the
floor of the car. A moment later a
short, gray- whiskered, and by no
means conspicuous-looking man,
who had boarded the train at Har-
risburg and had taken the adjoining
seat, reached over to the Govern-
ment employe with a "Pardon me,
but may I look at your newspaper
if you are through with it? ' ' Receiv-
ing an answer in the affirmative,
the gray-whiskered gentleman took
the paper, read for some time, and
then returned it. Some desultory
conversation followed, succeeded by
a remark on the part of the older
man that he believed he'd go into
tht smoking compartment.
"A good Idea," said the Govern-
ment official . "I was j ust thinking
of going there myself." And suit-
ing the action to the word he started
oflF, followed by the suggester. The
compartment reached, the gray-
whiskered man pulled out a cigar
case, and, ofifering it to his acquaint-
ance, said:
"Have one of these cigars. I
think you will like them. They
are a special brand — made for the
Prince of Wales (now King of Eng-
land) and myself."
"Thank you," said his compan-
ion, with a suspicious glance. And
then, somewhat uncertainly, "I'm
sure I'll enjoy it."
The cigar, partly finished, the
official bethought himself of some
liquor that he had — and also of
something else. Taking from his
grip a flask he offered it to his com-
panion.
"Here's some good whisky. Try
it. I'm sure you will like it. It's
a special brand — made for Bmperor
William and myself. ' '
The little man laughed and
laughed again, finally declining the
oflfer.
The train roiled on. It was near*
ing Pittsburg. The smoke of the
many factory chimneys could plainly
be seen from the car windows. The
little man spoke.
"See those factories?" He waved
his hand in their direction. "I
owned them all at one time."
The Government official edged
away from the speaker, and took a
sharp glance at him.
At that moment the train dashed
I past a long stretch of open land.
^ "See that land?" said the Govern-
ment official, waving his hand just
as the gray- whiskered man had
waved his. "Well, I owned all that
once upon a time." ;
The little man nearly doubled
up with laughter. "Indeed?" hei
said.
In a few mom ants Pittsburg was I
reached, and the two started to go ,
their respective ways. |
"By the way," said the^ little |
man just before he left, "any time!
you should happen to be here or in
New York drop in and see me." i
As the Government official was
stepping off the train the porter '
said:
"Say, Cap'n, do you know who
that man was you were talking! to?"
"No, I don't know who the con-
founded idiot was, " was.the answer.
"He thought he owned the earth.
Who was it?"
j "Why, Cap'n," and the darky
opened wide his eyes. "Why, Cap'n,
.that was Mistah Carnegie. "—N. Y.

Shade-Culture In Lancaster.
I At a conference of tobacco grow-
ers in Lancaster last week the feasi-
I bility of cultivating tobacco under
I cover was discussed, and it was de-
cided to make experiments upon m
somewhat extended scale under the
supervision of the State Agricultural
Department. Prof. Milton Whit-
ney, of the Division of Soils of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, was urged to have the Na-
tional Government cooperate with

ment.

Pennsylvania Tobaccos a Specialty.
York, Pa., April 7, 1902.
The supine condition of trade in
some localities throughout the
county, is in contrast to the extreme
activity in others. For instance, a
manufacturer in Red Lion recently,
when tendered an order for cigars,
was compelled to refuse, owing to
lack of workmen. This scarcity of
cigarmakers seems to be due to the
fact that higher wages were being
obtained from newly located fac-
tories doing considerable business
on higher priced goods. The ulti-
mate desuetude of former positions
and trades follows any so- called
betterment of the workmen's condi-
tion.
Judging from the large amount
of tobacco carted through the city
from the railroad to the various
packing houses, the packers must
be "in the midst of the harvest" so
to speak. A. Sonneman's place
represents a scene of unusual
activity, a large amount of tobacco
being received during the week
necessitating more than the ordinary
amount of work to properly handle
and store the goods conveniently
for packing.
A quiet, unassuming, though
none the less considerable, cigar
business is carried on by H. Katz
& Son, of this city, in the jobbing
line. The firm claims to have
handled about $40,000 worth of ci
gars during the year. This asser-
tion, from the fact that the business
dealings were confined to the
cheaper grades, and the entire
absence of any losses in connection
with the sales, is remarkable, and
reflects credit on the business ability
of the firm.
Mr. Dugan, of Dugan & Funk,
at Ooldsboro, was a visitor in the
city on Friday. Their principal
production, the "Red Wolf," is
reported to be meeting with unusual
success wherever placed for sale.
George Gibson, with Sneeringer
& Co., at Baltimore, Md., visited
the trade in this vicinity during the
week past.
—At Binghamton, N. Y., H. A.
Spencer, representing the Conti-
nental Tobacco Co., has begun a
very lively advertising campaign,
exploiting the merits of the "Floro-
dora" cigars.
Death of Benjamin L. Frcy.
Benjamin L. Frey, senior mem-
ber of the firm of Benjamin L. Frey
& Bro., tobacconists for the past 25
years at Baltimore and Pine streets,
Baltimore, died on April 2, of con-
sumption at his late home, 1146
Myrtle avenue. Mr Frey returned
from the Adirondacks last Decem-
ber, where he went for his health.
Mr. Frey was 43 years of age, and
was a native of Baltimore. He was
the son of the late Charles G. Frcy.
The tobacco business was at first
conducted under the name of
Schneider & Frey. He leaves a
widow, who was Miss Ella Peppier,
and two sons, Harry and Edward
Frey. Mr. Frey was a member of
the German M. E. Church, of tht
Masonic Order, Independent Order

THE TRADE IN READING.
Reading, Pa., April 5, 1902.
Quite a number of cigar manu-
facturers and retail dealers here
have made April changes and are
«[uite busy.
R. Frank Geissler has assumed
entire control of the M. H. Taylor
Tobacco Company, having pur-
chased Mr. Taylor's interest. Mr.
Geissler will continue the same
brands as heretofore, but is arrang
ing to have the factory and firm
name changed to the Enterprise To-
bacco Company. The trade is well
established and new territory is be
ing added, making this one of the
busiest tobacco houses in the dis-
trict.
Cigar manufacturer John Mer-
singer has placed a new brand on
the market, called the "Select
Mild." It is a nickel cigar.
Cigar manufacturer Val. E. Wilk
purchased the property at 100 West
Oley street, and will move to that
location on the 15th inst. He will
make a number of improvements to
the property, fitting up a retail de-
partment and enlarging the factory
room. Mr. Wilk runs the Pioneer
union label factory in the city and
enjoys a large trade. His leader is
the "Germania." His factory is
busy and he reports the trade out
look as bright, and expects to
double his working force in the new
factory.
Permits were granted by Collector
Frederick W. Cranston for cigar
factories to be opened by James E.
Laub, at Lyons, and D. H. Kerling,
in the rear of 408 North 9th street.
Both filed bonds in $500 each.
Peter B. Neithammer, for many
years head bar clerk for his brother
John G. Neithammer, opened a
cigar store and pool room at 15
North 8th street, adjoining the
cafe. The place has been neatly
papered and painted.
C. F. Angstadt has moved his ci-
gar store and pool room from 19
North 8th street to 932 Penn street,
where extensive improvements were
made.
Norman Gebhardt, a well-known
cigar manufacturer of Trenton, N.
J., was visiting the trade here. He
is an active member of the East
Trenton Maennerchor and their
double quartette, and this organiza-
tion expects to visit Reading this
summer.
A new cigar and tobacco jobbing
concern has been started to be
known as the Colonial Cigar and
Tobacco Co., M. S. Taylor, man
ager. They will run a peddling
wagon all over the city and will
canvas from store to store with a
full line of manufactured tobaccos,
pipes, and other smokers' goods.
The bond for the wagon has been
filed with Collector Cranston.
E. Newton Erb, a prominent
young cigar manufacturer at Boyer-
town, was married in this city on
Apj^l 3rd, at high noon, to Miss
Hattie Dunkle, the accomplished
daughter of John Dunkle, of Read-
ing. A large reception followed.
The couple left on an extensive trip
South, going as far as Florida.
Upon their return they will reside
at Boyertown. Both have the best
wishes of a wide circle of friends.
Cigar manufacturer M . Steppacher
has returned from a business trip
through the east after securing a
large number of orders. He manu-
factures blue label union cigars and
runs the largest strictly union
factory in Reading. He reports
that the workingmen in the Massa-
chusetts manufacturing towns are
well organized . Pom i'E y.
St. Louis Manufacturers Organize.
One hundred and fifty mauufac
turers of cigars met at the Druid
building, St. Louis, Mo., on April
ist, and effected an organization for
the protection of the home industry.
Adolph Madera was elected chair-
man and H. Brehauer secretary.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to draft the constitution and
by laws of the association: Thomas
Menninger, Charles Specht, Fred
Kramer, H. Weidmann, William
Brandt, Adolph Madera and Her-
man Brehauer. A resolution was
introduced and adopted admitting
all local dealers in leaf tobacco and
boxmakers to membership. Tht
announced purpose of the associa-
tion is to combat the products of the
combine and cheap Eastern goods.
More than 100 manufacturers signed
the roll and paid a dollar each as
the initial fee for incidental expense.

THR TOBACCO WORLD
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
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 moderate amount of buying
continues throughout the growing
districts in the southern portion of
' the state, which is continually re-
ducing the amount of unsold goods
I in farmers' hands. It is quite prob-
I able that a good many thousand
cases are quietly being lifted each
j week of the medium quality goods
at prices much below what they
have been held for months past.
The market for cured leaf is ex-
tremely quiet, both locally and in
the eastern centers, and no trans-
actions of importance have reached
us.

Breaks were the largest of the
season and a more general variety
of different grades. Market was
quite tame at easy prices on Leaf
above 7c, unlets it was good to fine
Leaf of spinning and wrapping
qualities. Sales of a lot of wrappers
at 10 to 13c. On breaks prices run
as follows:
Lugs-Ivow, 4 to 4Xc; Com., aU to 4^c;
Med., 41^ to sXc; Good, s]i to ^i^c.
Fine, 5^to6>^c.
Leaf — Low, $% to 6c; Com., 6 to 7c;
Med., 7 to 8c; Good, 8>^ to 10; Pine, 10
to 13.
Some soft order brought about %
to ic less, with some stemmers
looking after this cheap leaf. Fine
opportunity for rehandlers, workers,
and stemmers to buy cheap leaf for
next 40 days. Old tobacco stock
small, with sales of Lugs at 5 to
5^c; Leaf, 5^ to 7>^c. These
are well seasoned and ready for
smoking and snuff use.

Eastern Tobacco Reports.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
It is about time for the force-
sweat tobacco to be placed on the
market. But we hardly expect it to
sell at any prices mentioned, — if at
all, it will be the lowest or mini-
mum rates. Last year for the best
Boston lights $1.25 down to 6oc
was ofi"ered by the American To-
bacco Company. And a circular
! issued to the trade gave prices run-
ning from 65 to 85c a pound, while
others asked for the best fully as
high as the American Tobacco
Company. There is no reason why
lower rates should be given this
year. But from the supply to be
had, which is evidently inadequate
to the wants of the trade, we feel
justified in predicting high prices to
prevail for the new crop.
Our correspondents write :
Conway: "No sales to report.
We are thinking about starting our
tobacco beds. The frost is out of
them the best for some years. Will
probably sow them soon if weather
continues good."
Sunderland: "No sales of conse-
quence reported last week. A few
lots left of good quality, but owners
won't sell for such low prices as
have been recently paid. Cyrus
Hubbard is making preparations to
grow an acre or more under cloth
this year. Some tobacco beds have
been sown the past week in warm
places. The ground is nearly
settled, and an early spring is com-
ing on."
Whately: "The work of prepar-
ing the seed beds seems now to be
generally attended to. A few have
sown the seed, but more will do it
this week. There are but few crops
left for sale. Quite a number have
their crops assorted and force
sweated. About the usual amount
will be grown, or so it looks now."
Amherst: "The crop is nearly
all sold. A few have assorted, and
are having their goods assorted and
force sweated at Hatfield. About
the usual acreage will be planted
this season."
Somers: "The bulk of our 1901
crop is in the packers' hands. A
few lots remain unsold which the
growers refuse to sell at the low
prices that have been offered.
About the average acreage will be
set the coming season.
Enfield: "The season for making
seed beds has arrived, and the past
week many have sowed the tiny
seeds. The fire here a week ago
at Warehouse Point destroyed many
thousands of dollars worth of cigar
leaf. Fully the usual quantity of
tobacco will be set this year." —
American Cultivator.
BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
The warehouses have been busy
both receiving and shipping during
the past week. A considerable
amountof tobacco has been delivered
by the growers and between i ,000
and 1,200 cases have been shipped,
shipments having been made by
Elias Bach & Son, Dembo & Has-
kins, J. Bunzl & Son, Lewis Syl-^
vester & Son and G. Falk & Bro.,
the latter having received between
500 and 600 cases which were
shipped to Lancaster. Among the
buyers who have been riding are
S. D. Green, representing J. Bunzl
& Son, George Erisman, of Lan-
caster, Pa., who has been riding
with Wm. Ward, J. T. Skinner,
representing G. Falk & Bro., and
A. Heinke, the local representa-
tive of Charles R. Goldsmith & Co.
Mr. Heinke is reported as having
bought the following crops in the
bundle at prices ranging from 4 to
8 cts.: Wm. B. Smalley, 3,500 lbs,
L. Camp, Meridian, 3,500 lbs, Geo.
Meade, 1,000 lbs, Bruce Dennison,
Bowens Corners, 1,000 lbs, Henry
Lee, Memphis, 1,000 lbs. Mr.
Heinke is still receiving every
Saturday, and on Tuesday took in
100 cases assorted goods. — Gazette.
MIAMISBURG, OHIO.
Deliveries of new Zimmer and
seedleaf were quite frequent and
heavy during the past week. The
choice crops remaining in farmers'
hands are now very scarce, and the
majority of them are held at prices
ranging from 10 to i2>^c for Zim-
mer and from 7 to 8c for seedleaf.
It is reported that several packing
concerns have lately repudiated a
portion of their contracts, and that
a couple of other packers are rebuy-
ing the crops from farmers. The
weather this week has been blustery
and disagreeable for buyers to ride,
which fact in connection with the
scarcity of desirable crops, is per-
haps responsible for the small num-
ber of sales reported. Farmers are
beginning to prepare the soil for
seed beds, but few are likely to sow
the seed for this year's crop until
the ground becomes warmer. -News.

Moses C. Wetmore for $5,500 alleg-
ing he paid Mr. Wetmore for stock
in the M. C. Wetmore Tobacco Co.
which, he avers, will be a loss to
him. He states that he is informed
that the price to be paid for the
stock of the company by the Conti-
nental Tobacco Co. will be required
to pay the debts of the Wetmore
Co. Eis states that he refused to
join in the sale of the Wetmore Co.
to the Continental Co. He avers
that the agents and oflficers of the
Continental Co. have determined
the price to be paid. Col. Wetmore
said: "I suppose Mr. Eis thinks I
owe him something, and I know
that I do not."
The Italian Tobacco Monopoly.
Some Intcicsting Facts and Figorcs Concerning
the Monopoly.
The annual report of the German
Consul at Rome says:
Tobacco was first planted in Italy
a very long time ago. As early as
1560 the Sette Community of the
Brenta Valley had received from the
Government of the Venetian Repub-
lic a special concession empowering
them to establish a tobacco monop-
oly. Early in the seventeenth
century the industry had already
been established in most of the im-
portant Italian States as a monopoly
which was either leased or sold out-
right to private individuals.
In the Papal States the concession
was held up to 1858 by members of
the house of Torlonia, a proof of
how little was known by political
financiers, even up to the first half
of the last century, of the immense
possibilities of revenue to be realized
from a Government tobacco mon-
opoly.
The importance attained by the
house of Torlonia may be attributed
principally to this valuable conces-
sion. In 1858 the Papacy assumed
direct control of the monopoly and
installed Don Alessandro Torlonia
in the position of general director.
The Italian Government at that
time located at Florence, had grad-
ually acquired control of the in-
dustry in all of the other States and
leased them to private companies.
On January i, 1884, the Govern-
ment assumed direct control, and
established a department under the
Finance Minister, with the title of
"direzione generale delleprivative,"
to hare full charge of the tobacco
monopoly as well as of the salt and
lottery monopolies.
Since 1884 the monopoly has as-
sumed an entirely diflFerent aspect
and become an important factor in
the national financial economy.
Large factories have been erected in
Rome and Florence for the manu-
facture of Virginia and Turkish ci-
garettes, which were formerly im-
from
ported in large quantities
Dresden.
Raw tobacco is now bought by
the Regie representatives at the
source of supply. The number of
experts in charge of the different
departments has been increased and
the condition of the employes great-
ly improved.

Vesuvius, a splendid experimental
station has been established upon
the pattern of the Hungarian station
at Debrecsin.
A considerable export trade has
grown up with African and South
American countries, the basis for
this trade being located at the Port
San Remo.
The culture of native tobacco has
increased until now the Regie ex-
port leaf as well as Virginia Tus-
canies (a kind of stogie), and to-
bacco extract.
The total receipts of the monopoly
were in the fiscal year 1898- '99, 36,-
240,000 dol., and the net profit 29,-
070,000 dols.
Rather a consolidated tobacco
company profit, isn't it?
Experiments of growing tobacco
recently made in the Roman Cam-
pagna have resulted so satisfactorily
that the Government now looks
forward to the development of this
branch of the tobacco industry with
the expectation of it becoming an
important addition to the resources
of the country.
LATE REVENUE DECISIONS
Cigatettcs for Porto Rico.
A manufacturer, who inquired
whether he could put up his cigar-
ettes in packages containing 12, or
any other number not correspond-
ing with a statutory package, was
advised that all cigarettes manu-
factured in the United States for
sale or consumption in Porto Rico
must be put up in packages con-
taining 10, 20, 50 or roo cigarettes
each, and that each package must
be properly stamped before removal
from the factory.
CombinitioB Glass and Pasteboard Pickagc
(or Cigars.
The Commissioner recently ap-
proved the use, as a statutory pack-
age for cigars, of a heavy pasteboard
box with outside covering in imita-
tion of wood, and the lining ot cor-
rugated pasteboard, in which was
enclosed a glass jar with tin lid.
The registered number of tke fac-
tory and the number of the district
and state were blown in one side
of the sample jar, which was suf-
ficiently large to hold fifty cigars of
the ordinary size. An oval open-
ing (2% by 3 inches) was made in ^
rBcronica
the pasteboard covering, so that
the brand appearing on the glass
jar was disclosed after the jar was
placed in the box. Around this
opening appeared the manufacturers
name and the trade name of the
cigars. The caution-notice label,
in form prescribed by the regula-
tions and section 3393, Revised Stat-
utes, was printed directly on the
bottom of the pasteboard box, to
which an internal revenue stamp
was affixed in such manner as to
securely seal the box. In addition '
to such label, brand and stamp,
the following notice was printed on
the box in plain, legible manner:
Caution: "The glass jar contained
in this box must not be removed 1
therefrom until the cigars are sold ' '

Chapter XVL The Wrath of Sultan Aniurath, and What Came of It,
By L. Herzig, of J. C. Drucklieb & Co.
One morning in the year 1633, a
few days after the great conflagra-
tion, a placard, of which the follow-
ing is a fair translation, appeared in
many places throughout Constanti-
nople:
' ' It having come to the knowledge
of our Lord the Sultan that the
great fire which a few days ago
destroyed a large portion of the city
was caused by the smokers of to-
bacco who have of late in such
numbers crowded the coflfee houses,
the wrath of our Lord has thereby
been aroused, and
'*It is ordered by our Lord the
Sultan that the smoking of pipes
and the drinking of coffee shall
cease at once, not only in Constan-
tinople but throughout the domin-
ions of the Sultan in Europe «nd in
Asia.
"It is decreed that every person
found smoking shall have his
nostrils pierced and the stem of his
pipe thrust through the punctures,
after which he shail be mounted
backward upon an ass and ridden
through the city, in order that all
other evil disposed persons may
therefrom take warning."
The document bore the signature
of the Grand Vizier in a flourish
that looked like a piece of elaborate
embroidery on white satin.
The people read the proclamation
and trembled, but Mohammed Ibn
Ben Ali, pilgrim, adventurer, sailor,
soldier, merchant, man of the world,
read it and smiled in his beard. He
was a tall, blond Turk, of a type
that was far more common in
Turkey in the time of Amurath IV.
than it is today, when the old Os-
manli blood has been so thickened
by admixture with that of the
swarthy Armenians.
Mohammed Ibn Ben Ali was a
lover of tobacco. Indeed, it was
his own father who, in 1605, had
brought the first cargo of tobacco
to Constantinople. Mohammed had
seen many lands. He had made
the haj to Mecca; he had been in
France, in Italy, in Germany. He
knew the world and its ways. He
smiled when he read the proclama-
tion, because he foresaw that the
Sultan and his oflficers were going
to have a fine time of it enforcing
the order against smoking. But no
one saw him smile, or things might
have turned out unpleasantly for
Mohammed Ibn Ben Ali. Those
who were with him in the crowd
were stay-at-home Turks who feared '
had with his back toward the Sultan
had was a gorgeously dressed soldier,
the Sultan and were quite willing to Russia, who, like himself,
obey his orders, if only their master fulminated against tobacco,
and his men would otherwise let come to nothing, but he had not ^"^ ^^ ^^^ household g«ard and

Amurath crept nearer and, keep-
ing out of sight behind the shrub-
bery, circled the soldier and sought
to discover the pipe he was smok-
ing. He was smoking. There
could be no doubt about that, but
there seemed to be some magic
about it for no pipe was anywhere
' visible. The Sultan took pains to
make sure. At last he pounced
upon Mohammed who, soldier
though he was, and a brave one at
that, grew pale when he found him-
self in the grasp of his lord. He
was too frightened to speak, and if
he hadn't been he would have had
too much sense, for he realized just
what the Sultan's onslaught meant,
: and saw that his own best chance
was to remain silent. Amurath
meanwhile had shouted for assist-
ance which came on the run, and
then a search of Mohammed's
pockets was made. It revealed con-
siderable tobacco and a few sheets
of thin white paper, but no bubble
bubble, hookah, briar, bull dog,
meerschaum, corn cob, not even an
^ Irish dhudeen.
i The Sultan was puzzled. His
' irade had said nothing about pun-
I ishing people in whose possession
I tobacco might be found, but it did
; provide for nose piercing and other
I punishments, and Amurath was
ever ready to punish. But how
was he to run this criminal's pipe-
stem through his nostrils when
there was no pipe to provide the
stem? The matter was beginning
to bear a ludicrous aspect when
Amurath bethought himself. He

The reason is not far to seek: the
cigarette is cheap, and, more than
that, it is a convenient form of
"smoke." The good cigar is not
cheap, it is comparatively bulky,
and it takes some time to finish.
The pipe must be kept clean, it re-
quires to be filled, and a pouch
must be carried to contain the to-
bacco. The cigarette is ready to
smoke, scores can be carried in the
pocket, and one can be smoked in
a snatched quarter of an hour. The
When, however, the cigarette is

a much milder tobacco can be

Much of the mischief from cigar-

the cigarette being persistently held
in the mouth until burning of the
lips is threatened. If the smoke
from the burning tip of a cigarette
be purposely inhaled for a time a

An insurance Trust.
Philadelpbia is now feeling the
effects of an insurance trust, and
the past fortnight has been a busy
one in the fight between the insur-
ance companies and the business
men of the city.
A mass meeting was held last
week, at which were present repre-
sentatives of all interests involved
in this conflict. An attempt was,
of course, made by a duly authorized
spokesman for the Underwriters'
Association to defend the recent
action of the association in raising
the premium rates in certain sections
of the city to a figure that is extor-
tionate. /'''^
It is doubtful if this action could
ever have been taken if the under-
writers were not so thoroughly
organized, and therefore fancied
that they had the mercantile com-
munity at their mercy. No insur-
ance company presumes to engage
in business without joining the com-
bination which fixes the rates for
all its members, leaving the person
who desires to insure his property
against loss by fire no alternative
save to accept the arbitrary rates
asked or go without insurance.
The Underwriters' Association,
in its ramifications throughout the
country, is the most perfect, and
hitherto the most powerful. Trust.
For Tobacco Statistics.
The Statistical Committee of the
Tobacco Association of the United ,
States, which will have in hand the I
matter of gathering the data now
greatly needed by the trade, has just i
been appointed by the president of
the Association. It is as follows:
C. H. Lewis, Henderson, N. C;
E. L. Morion, Clarksville, Va.; G.
H. Raney, Lawrenceville, Va.; D.
Preston Parr, Bedford City, Va.;

well. Rocky Mount, N. C; John S.

son, Kinston, N. C; E L. Morris,

kinsville, Ky.; T. B. Ficklen,
Greenville, N. C; W. J. Boykin,
Wilson, N. C; W. W. Morton,
Richmond, Va.; E.K. Victor, Rich-
mond, Va.
The importance of the statistic
matter is set forth in a circular letter
sent to every member of this com
mittee. This letter says in part:
"Iconsiderthis information of the
greatest importance, as the figures
heretofore obtained have been very
faulty and misleading, and it can
but be beneficial for the tobacco
world to know to what extent they
can depend on their supply of dif-
ferent species. When it is shown
that supplies will be meagre, values
will be enhanced, and when the
crops are shown to be large, buyers
can make such preparations for the
enlargement of their trade as the
premises may seem to justify, and
thus find new or larger customers,
to the end that prices will not de-
cline to the extent that would be
the case if the crop developed larger
than the trade expected."
In conclusion, the circular states
that arrangements have been made
with Mr.-O. P. Austin, chief statis-
tician of the Treasury Department,
at Washington, to promulgate all
I information in his bulletins, which
have a world wide circulation.
Wood as a Substitute for Tobacco.
In the Cpurt of Sessions, Edin-
burgh, David Wilson, merchant, of
Blackness avenue, Dundee, and
RobertSimpson Baxter, of Broughty
Ferry, near Dundee, were prosecuted
under an Exchequer complaint by
the Lord Advocate, for having had
in their possession, it is alleged,
powered wood resembling tobacco
and snuff, in contravention of the
statiite. Evidence was given that
a Bristol tobacco firm had a com-
munication from Wilson offering to j
supply imitation cigarette fixture I
and snuff, and that the firm com- 1
municated with the inland revenue i
authorities. The result was that a
visit was paid to the defendants'
premises, Kirkaldy Court, Dundee,
and samples of imitation tobacco
and snuff seized.
David Wilson, one of the respond-
ents, said that the wood could be
used for a variety of purposes. It
occurred to them that it might be
of use to tobacco manufacturers,
but the replies received to inquiries
were not satisfactory and they
abandoned the attempt to sell the
material to tobacco manufacturers.
Baxter, the other respondent, pro-
duced a cake of soap made from the
wood, and said he told the Inland
Revenue people it was cellenite.
After further evidence the case was
adjourned.— London Globe.

THE MEDICINE MAN
Hearken, Pale Faces!
I am the Medicine Man of whom
the books are full. I am the first
of the slaves of the creature we call
tobacco, and you shall be my
auditors.
I have come back from the land
of shadows to survey what were
once the earthly hunting grounds
of my people. Whatever pertains
to tobacco pertains to me, and The
Tobacco World shall be my bulletin.
In its columns I shall discourse
to you, in a spirit informed with
good sense and animated by good
will towards all among you, on
such topics as shall from time to
time appear to me to be timely and
pertinent.
The United States has been
called one vast university. The
teachers of its people are the news-
papers, and in this university I shall
occupy the Chair of Tobacco.
I invite you to address me on any
subject concerned with tobacco and
I shall thereupon endeavor to make
your communication, whatsoever
it may be, the theme of a discourse
whose aim shall be to interest not
only one but all of you.
Address all such letters thus:
"The Medicine Man, Bureau of The
Tobacco World, 11 Burling Slip,
New York."
Footsteps ot the Young Men.
I am given to understand that a
numberof young men, the average
of their ages being 2 1 years, and each
of whom may be deemed to have
before him only the brightest of
futures, have voluntarily desertei'
New York and the luxurious modes
of living to which they have been
accustomed there, to enter the cigar
factory at Richmond, Va., or at
New Orleans, La., of the American
Cigar Company as apprentices to
the art and mystery of cigarmaking.
The young men to whom I refer are
the sons or nephews of certain of
the oflficers or stockholders of the
American Tobacco Company, the
Continental Tobacco Company, the
American Snuff Company, the
A.merican Cigar Company or th«
Havana-American Company, and
each of them, it gives me peculiar
satisfaction to say, is acting under
the counsel of his elders.
In the cigar factory at Richmond
or New Orleans to which they have
gone, these young men have begun
at the very beginning, at bunch
breaking, or some other equally
simple task. They work exactly
as other laborers in the factory work,
though some of them are already in-
structing new labor in the first steps
of cigar making. They hare the
same duties, the same hours and
the same pay as others, with this
probable difference only, that being
above the average in schooling and
in breadth and acuteness of intelli-
gence they may learn with more
quickness and master the details
of their tasks with greater thorough-
ness. It is, after all, thoroughness
which counts, you know.
The tobacco business is a most
reputable and dignified one and the
ambition to be a thorough tobacco
man is in every way praiseworthy.
For such of the young men, of
whom I have spoken to you in this
my first discourse, as shall evince
that they possess those qualities of
application, of industry, and of that
highest faculty which mortals de-
nominate genius, I predict an early
reward for their present self denial
and toil that shall arouse the emu-
lative zeal of all those who shall
read their story. It is from among
them in all human probability that
the leading officers of the companies
I have named will in the after time
be selected .
They are the material that is in
demand in the great corporations
which always need men, exper-
ienced in practical tobacco details
as well as versed in the learning of
the schools; in short, men of brains,
who know the business in every
one of its ramifications.
The Medicine Man.
A Cliarge of Smuggling.
United States Commissioner Craig,
at New Orleans, has taken under
advisement the evidence adduced in
the charge of smuggling preferred
by United States Customs Inspector
Berhel against Marceline Marsal, a
well-known stevedore of that city
Marsal and his foreman, Thomas
Daniels, was accused of smuggling
a package containing 27 packages of
Havana cigarettes and one bundle
of dried fish. This occurred on the
3d inst., and it was stated by the
inspector that Marsal had said that
the articles had been made a present
to him by the captain of the Span-
ish steamship "Argentina Bogona "
Daniels was discharged on the evi-
dence that he had acted merely as
an employe of Marsal.

The Best Havana Cigars
OFFICE,
191 Fulton Street,
NEW YORK.
At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce of New York city on
April 10, the following strong reso-
lutions in favor of a 50 per cent,
reciprocity with Cuba were unani-
mously adopted:
On the 6th of February last the
Chamber adopted a memorial ad-
dressed to the Senate and House of
Representatives setting forth the
conditions then existing upon the
island of Cuba, and urging a sub-
stantial reduction of the tariff duties
upon Cuban sugar and tobacco, to
be followed by reciprocal tariff ar-
rangements with the island upon
the establishment of an independent
Cuban Government. More than
two months have elapsed since the
adoption of this memorial and
no relief has been granted by Con-
gress to the island, for the economic
Factory No. i,
TAMPA, FLA.
and that such relief should b«
granted promptly, and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this
preamble and resolution be forward-
ed to each member of the Senate and
House of Representatives.

The suit of Simon Stein, in 1900
a leaf broker of this city, against
the Theobald & Oppenheimer Co.,
of Philadelphia, was tried before
Juitice Hascall and a jury in Part
2 of the City Court on April 10,
and resulted in a verdict for the
plaintiff for $742, interest and costs.
In June, 1900 Mr. Stein submitted
some samples of F. Garcia, Bros. &
Co's Havana leaf tobacco to Presi-
dent Geo. K. Spotts of the Theobald
& Oppenheimer Co., and it was
agreed, that in case the big Phila-

A notable fact in the New York
leaf market last week was the dis-
position shown by many buyers to
heed the advice given in this column
several weeks ago, in advertisements
of later date and by large importing
houses generally, to take advantage
of present conditions and buy their
Havana now. Those who do buy
now will get the benefit of whatever
reciprocity reduction Congress
grants to Cuba. Those who wait
will not.
The Havana market showed con-
siderable animation, not only here
but in Havana. One very notable
transaction which took place in
Havana lately was the sale of 2,300
bales of Remedios, Santa Clara, I
Semi-Vueltas and Vueltas by John
Wardlow, manager of F. Garcia,
Bros. & Co.

Ben Rothschild, of the big Chi-

& Co., returned from Havana with
broker Simeon C. Cans on the
"Morro Castle" on April 8. Mr.
Rothschild says that while in Hav-
ana he secured a large quantity of
very fine tobacco for his trade.
The Board of U. S. General Ap-
praisers handed down a decision on 1
April 4 in the protested case of J. [
Mendy, an importer of Porto Rico
tobacco. The Supreme Court of
the United States held in two famous j
Porto Rican cases that the date when |
the treaty with Spain went into effect '
was April 11, 1899, the day the 1
ratifications of peace were ex- [
changed between the government j
of the United States and the govern-
ment of Spain. In the Mendy case
the Board of General Appraisers
fixes the date as December 10,1898,
when the treaty was signed. This
apparent conflict between the two
tribunals is thus explained by
Henry S. J. Flynn, Mr. Mendy 's at-
torney:
"The Supreme Court decision
was merely what is technically
called 'obiter dicum,' 'a statement
in passing.' The Board of Ap
praisement's decision is accordingly
the law."

THE TRADE IN READING.
Reading, Pa., April 12, 1902.
During the past two weeks there
has been a steady improvement in
the tobacco business and the spring
trade is opening up in a satisfactory
manner. There is a larger demand
than ever before from all parts of
the country for union-made cigars.
Of course some manufacturers are
not so busy, and report their busi-
ness as being exceedingly dull for
this time of the year compared with
other years.
Few local factories are busier all
the year around than that of Charles
Maerjt. He takes great pride in
the superior workmanship of his
brands and makes his own selection
of tobaccos, being a practical man
with many yearsexperience. Orders
for spring are coming in rapidly.
The cigar manufacturing firm of
L. R. Romig & Co., of Sinking
Springs, has gone out of business.
S. B. Keppel, a former member of
the firm, will occupy the building
with a new factory. He will make
up the brands used by the former
firm.
Reading's wholesale leaf tobacco
dealers report a marked improve-
ment in the local trade. J. U. Fehr,
J. L. & M. F. Greene, and John A.
Hain & Co. are engaged in this
trade here and are doing a very largt
business.
Daniel Fleck, of the Fleck Cigar
Co., limited, will leave shortly on
an extensive western trip. He is
at present building an advertising
wagon which he will take along.
The vehicle, which is in sections, is
a fine piece of workmanship. The
body consists of a platform pedestal
with both ends hollowed out, in
which will be placed the repreienta-
tion of an "Eastern Buffalo" cigar,
their popular brand, 15 feet in
length. The vehicle looks much
like a circus wagon, and is artistic-
ally decorated. It will be used for
advertising purposes only.
J. Hostler, proprietor of the Bon
Ton cigar store, who has taken
possession of his new store at 9th
and Elm streets, held a formal open-
ing for his customers. The Reading
Military Drum corps furnished
music for the occasion. There was
a large attendence.
Bayard L- Dunkle filed a $500
bond with Collector Fred W. Crans-
ton for a cigar factory which he will
place in operation at 323 North
2nd street. He will manufacture
high-grade hand-made cigars.
James R. Dengler has taken pos-
session of the old cigar stand of the
late Aaron Engle, at the northwest
corner of 7th and Bingaman streets.
Mr. Dengler is well known and no
doubt his new venture will be a
success.
The stv.ck and fixtures of Jona-
than Boone's cigar factory were
transferred to his son, Charles, who
will continue to carry on the busi-
ness at the old stand.
• Gables Bros., cigar dealers, have
moved from 9th and Greenwich
streets to 614 North 9th street,
where they have much larger
quarters with better facilities for
carrying on the business.
Alfred W. Weber, has opened a
cigar store at the southwest corner
of 5th and Bingaman streets. He
has fitted up the place in a hand-
some manner.
William Fidler & Son, cigar box

YOUNG BLOOD IN THE
NEW YORK LEAF BOARD,
Additional Notes ironi Our New York Bureau,
Mr. Harry S. Rothschild,
President.
The officers of the Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade of the City of New
York, elected at the meeting of the
Board of Trustees on April 8, are,
as stated in The Tobacco World last
week: President, Harry S. Roths
child; Vice President, Benno Neu-
berger; Treasurer, Walter Beer, and
Secretary, Jesse Mayer.
These are all young men, and yet
each of them, in point of service to
his house, is a veteran. Not one
them is over thirty six years of age,
and yet they have each of them
been connected with the trade for
at least twenty years. President
Rothschild grew up with the sterling
house of Rothschild & Bro., in De-
troit, and it was upon his initiative
that, seven years ago, the firm
opened its offices in New York city.
Under his aggressive and able
management the New York house
now ranks with the leaders.

which is said to have never failed to
create a most earnest desire to see
what is going on outside. His in-
clination to retire becomes immedi-
ately irresistable, and, of course, he
goes out without any further parley.
There is more back of this than
has been said, but the proprietor
does not in the least resemble the
"Veiled Prophet of Khorassan."
An alarm of fire turned in at

also true of the many retail stores

the fact that we are making for

forty thousand per week." Mr.
Lipschutz recently transformed his
entire store, making a very elegant
office immediately in the rear with
a private office built on a veranda
overhead. His factory was some
time ago removed to 1235-37 Filbert
street, where a good force of cigar-
makers is steadily employed.

J. Josias, the local representa-
tive of the Hilson Co. , of New York,
has recently been placing a new
proposition before the trade in this
city on their "HoflFman House
Cavaliers," a new brand of little
cigars retailing at ten for 25 cents,
and which are being sold to the
dealer at $18 50 per thousand. They
are also giving with each 1 00 " Hoff-
man House Magnus" one pack of
"Hoffman House" little cigars and
one pack of "Sweet Clover," which
are placed one at each end of the
package with a paper strip around
the entire parcel. By giving these
packages there is a reduction to the
dealer, and Mr. Josias says that it
has taken elegantly since the 8th
inst., when the scheme was first
launched here.
Leberstein Bros., proprietors of
the La Volga factory at 103 North
Second street, will remove on the
30th inst., to 434 Race street, form-

whose removal to 1904 West Norris
street was announced in these
columns last week.
J. W. Levy, a well-know cigar
salesman, who was formerly a repre-
sentative of M. Barranco & Co.,
has associated himself with the P.
H. Fratz Co., of this city, taking
full charge of the sales department,
while Mr. Fratz will continue in
charge of the manufacturing end.
Mr. Fratz is a thoroughly exper-
ienced manufacturer, while Mr.
Levy has had quite a following
among the trade here and it is hoped
that the new venture will prove an
admirable success.
F. Blatt, at 41st and Lancaster
avenue, has just commenced the
manufacture of cigars. He will
operate a strictly union factory and
make mostly five cent goods. It is
a new venture for Mr. Blatt, who
has already a well established trade
and should do well.

M. Hernandez, at 1714 Columbia
avenue, reports that his trade has
remained in a quite satisfactory con-
dition during the present spring.
In fact, a steady increase has been
experienced during the year so far.
During the month of March the
tobacco output in the First District
of Pennsylvania was as follows: Ci-
gars, 40,829,930; little cigars, 73,-
000; cigarettes, value less than $2
per M., 110,000; cigarettes, weigh-
ing less than three pounds per M.,
3,880,500; cigarettes weighing over
three pounds per M., 22,000. This
shows a decrease in the output of
cigars as compared with March,
1 90 1, of 341,495, but it was greater
than March, 1900, by 658,505.
Sol. Hamburger, vice-president
of A. Santaella & Co., of Chicago,
and J. W. Madison, general repre-
sentative of Trujillo & Co., of New
York, were among the week's
visitors.
Vicente Portuondo is doing quite

ations were recently concluded
whereby J. D. Best & Son have be-
come the Colorado distributors of
the Vicente Portuondo product.
Internal Revenue Collector Mc-
Coach, of this district, raided 1160

covered an illicit distillery. They
also found fifty boxes of unstamped
cigars and twenty-five pounds of
leaf tobacco. The supposed pro-
prietor is B. W. Baigel, who for
some months conducted a cigar
factory at 1936 Market street, sub-
sequently removing to the Passyunk
avenue address. He was not cap-
tured, however.
T. J. Dunn & Co. will soon be
placing upon the market their new

The local leaf market during the
I past week was a little more aui
! mated than for several preceding
\ weeks. The new Connecticut has
' apparently attracted attention from
; the trade, although no specially im
portant transactions have been re-
ported. Inquiry for binder stock is
strong, but the prices seem to retard
purchasers.
The general conditions of the
market are a little more satisfactory
Such filler stock as is needed for
immediate use only is finding sale.
Sumatra has been moving fairly i
well, aud inquiries for old goods
are becoming stronger. It is ex-
pected that as soon as a fair quan
tity of the new goods have been
shown the trade, they will more
readily determine on purchases.
In Havana tobacco the price
seems to be stiffening up somewhat,
and some more active trading has
already resulted. 1

Cuban Tobacco Men Petition the
Senate.
A cablegram from the Cigar and
Cigarette Manufacturers' Associa-
tion of Havana was recently received
by the U. S. Senate, urging the
necessity for a greater reduction of
duty on cigars and cigarettes than
the 20 per cent, proposed by the
House reciprocity bill. They argued
that the present import duties are
prohibitory , and continue as follows:
"The intended reduction of 20 or
25 per cent, is insignificant. It will
be of no benefit to Cuba. The
American consumer will not profit
thereby, and exportations cannot
increase. Other countries which
have no moral obligations to Cuba
charge considerably less than what
we ask for.
"The American industry has ac-
quired such enormous proportions
that it needs no longer the present
prohibitive protection. Reducing
actual duties to $2 50 per pound
and abolishing the ad valorem duty,
a more than sufficient protection is
left for the American cigar industry.
England charges only $1.40 and
Germany 35 cents per pound.
"The free importation of Porto
Rican cigars has not influenced the
American production, neither will
the importation of Cuban cigars.
Our industry represents less than 4
per cent of the American cigar in-
dustry. Our exports are less than
I per cent, of the total production
of the United States."

quietly surprised his friends by go-
ing into a new business. He still
maintains his former connection
with the York Standard, but has a
happy interest in a "new home" of
recent making. The ceremony
occurred last Wednesday, and his
wife was formerly Miss Liziie Bear.
The circumstance of omitting to
send an invitation to his "at home"

extending to Walter and his bride
my heartfelt congratulations and
good wishes.

ties have been and are now being
sweated. So a large proportion of
the crop will be sold long before
the natural sweated leaf can be
ready for use.
Our correspondents write :
Wethersfield: "I have to report
the following sales here: C. E
Adams, S. N. Woodhouse and C.
H. Dillings to Griswold of West
Hartford, N. B. Adams to Michel
son of TariflFville, and James Eagan
to Miller of Hartford. Seed beds
are being made."
Windsor: "Our farmers are busy
preparing for the coming tobacco
crop. Large quantities of fertilizers
are arriving. New curing barns,
as well as additions to old barns,
are going forward. Fully loo acres
more will be raised this year than
last, aside from that to be grown
under shade. Mr. W. H. Filley is
to put up a 90 foot warehouse."
Conway: "Harry T. Newhall has
finished sorting his crop of tobacco.
Out of 10,085 pounds he found
some over 800 pounds of leaf more
or less pole sweat, about eight per
cent., and this was much larger
than the average. Probably quite
a portion of this might have been
by stripping, went into the fillers.
So he has 4^ tons of good, nice
tobacco. Why didn't others take
the same course?"
Granby: "The 1901 crop of to-
bacco is practically all sold. On
every hand preparation is made for
a full crop this year. It is said by
our best-posted growers that more
than 1,000 acres of shade-grown
leaf will be planted this year, but
this will not interfere with crops
that are grown in the open." —

chases made by him will be received
on Friday. K. S. Falk, of New
York, is again here and has been
riding with J. T. Skinner, the local
representative of G. Falk & Bro.
Some of their recent purchases art
being delivered to day. At the
American Cigar Co's. warehouse
the assorting will be continued for
two or three weeks before the pur-
chases made have been handled,
and most of the other warehouses
will continue until the first of next

nice Bremen and wrappery styles
and attracted good attention . While
prices were not up to expectations,
sales were made privately at higher
prices than showed on breaks. I
look for larger offerings from now
on, as Continental buyers are plac-

Our receipts this week were 921 hhds.;

The quality of the breaks showed
improvement, some higher grades
offering. The market was firm.
Holders looking for a better market,
offer but sparingly. The bulk of
the crop has left the planters' hands
and is being prized rapidly; the
proportion of lugs is smaller than for
many years, which keeps them
strong in price.
The water courses are falling
rapidly, and are all within their
banks.

A fire broke out a short time ago
on the third floor of the four- story
building at 109 South street, partly
occupied by Oblinger Bros. & Co ,
cigar manufacturers. A timely dis-
covery of the fire by a patrolman
enabled the firemen to extinguish
the flames before much damage had
been done.
The Commercial Manufacturing
Co., of Baltimore, was incorporated
at Dover, Del. , on March 27, to cure
leaf tobacco and deal in the same.
The capital stock is $100,000, and
the incorporators were L. M. Lever-
ing, W. C. O'Brien and J. C.
Augustus Reicke, all of Baltimore,
and Chas. B. Rogers, of Stevenson,
Maryland.
The American Tobacco Co. has
contracted with a local telephone
company to instal its branch tele-
phone service throughout their
numerous tobacco factories, which
system will connect each of the
branches of the company in Balti-
more.

W. L. Phillips, a former repre-

Louisville, has not yet succeeded in
baccos. The incorporators were
Fred. L. Goff, Jas. R. Hastings and
Wm. Jones.
George J. Thompson, the indus-
trious label secretary of the Cigar-
makers' Union, has discovered a
new method employed by manufac-
turers to get possession of the
union label without employing
union men. Frank Lopez, 71
Whiting street, and E. WoUock,
477 Halsted street, have been ar-
rested, charged with removing the
union labels from empty boxes,
changing the factory numbers, and
placing them on boxes filled with
nonunion cigars. This method is
even more effective than the count-
erfeit label , and deceives many cigar-
makers, who cannot remember the
number of every factory where
union men are employed.
The theft of ten thousand fine
Havana cigars from the freight
house of the Lake Shore and Mich-
igan Railroad was one of the biggest
hauls recently made by vandals in
this city. The goods were samples
shipped from New York to Sprague,

their value was placed at $7,000.

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.
Nobod> 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.
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 dit^kulty, 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
oftkes.
Ask us for booklet w. s., when writing
to us.

has commenced the remodeling of
a building to be used by it for man-
ufacturing purposes.
Adolph Osterloch, of Washington
D. C, is said to be forming a new
tobacco manufacturing enterprise
for Washington, in which several
ambitious young business men of
Richmond, Va., are concerned.
A new company for the manu-
facture of cigars has been formed
at Celina, O., The firm is composed
of Messrs. Atkinson, Clark and
Harlett, and their factory is located
on the second floor of the Hemmert
building, on West Fayette street.
A petition in involuntary bank-
ruptcy has been filed against Jacob
Grossman, of 83 Eldridge street,
New York. It is alleged that in
February last Grossman transferred
his business to Jane Grossman, with
intent to deceive and defraud his
creditors.
L. Warnick Brown & Co., whole-
sale tobacconists at 84 Genesee
street, Ithaca, N. Y., have given
out contracts for a new brick ware-
house and oflBces at 49 and 51 Hotel
street. Work is to be commenced
at once. The new building will be
43 by 93 feet and four stories high.
They have been in business on
Genesee street over forty years.
The annual report of the Rey-
nolds Tobacco Company, of Bristol,
Tenn., shows that the output of
high grade granulated smoking to-
bacco has increased from 1 00,000
pounds in 1889 to 1,000,000 pounds
for the year ending March i, 1902,
and that net earnings of the last
mentioned period were 17 per cent.
The company announces a semi-
annual dividend of 3 per cent.
El Symphonic cigar store, 310
First avenue, had a grand opening
March 29. The business is owned
by the C. C. Taft Cigar Company
of Des Moines, and they have
secured John H. Munholland as
manager. The room is handsomely
furnished, the fixtures being a credit
to the producers, the Williams &
Hunting company of that city.
Everything in the place is new, with
the exception of the same old John
Munholland.
Joseph Michel has retired from
the firm of A. G. Jaeger & Co., ci-
gar manufacturers. Dubuque, la.
Mr. Michel has been connected with
the house for the past three years
and when the announcement of his
resignation was made the young
women employed in the cigar de-
partment, purchased a set of Dick-
ens' works which they presented to
him with their best wishes for his
future success. Mr. Michel's resig-
nation took efi"ect on the ist inst.,
and he announced that he would
engage in business again in the near
future.
All because a package of tobacco
was sold to a youth of tender years,
J. W. Mussetter of Lincoln, Neb.,
contributed $25 to the school fund.
The specific charge filed against
Mr. Mussetter was the sale of a
package of tobacco and cigarette
paper to Herman H. Myers. Mr.
Mussetter declared that it appeared
that one of the clerks sold the to-
bacco while he was absent, and he
would rather plead guilty than com-
bat the case. Accordingly the fine
was levied.
Albert Goldman, of Buflfalo, was
convicted in special sessions in New
York on Monday of selling counter-
feit labels of the International Ci-
garmakers' Union to non-union
shops. He was sent to jail for sixty
days. President Perkins, of the
Union, went to New York from
Chicago and appeared in the case
as a witness. He said that the sale
of the counterfeit labels was costing
the union $10,000 a year. A num-
ber of convictions of this sort have
resulted in fines of $250 being im-
posed upon the oflFenders. Justice
Hinsdale said that he thought it
about time to try imprisonment to
see if it would not stop the traffic.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Cigars Can Not b: Advertised on Packages of
Tobacco.
A manufacturer, who inquired
whether he might labe^ his packages
of smoking tobacco so as to adver-
tise certain cigars, which he also
manufactures, has been advised that
a manufacturer of smoking tobacco
may use labels on his statutory
packages which advertise other
special brands of smoking tobacco
which he also manufactures, but
that any label intended to be used
by him for advertising cigars or
other merchandise will be prohibited,
under the last paragraph of section
10 of the act of July 24, 1897, and
the Regulations, No. 8, Supple-
ment No. 2.
Manufacture of Tobacco in State Institutions.
The managers of certain State in
stitutions recently inquired whether
they would be allowed to manufac-
ture chewing and smoking tobacco
at the State's prison for the use of
prisoners, and also for the use of
six other State hospitals, asylums,
etc., located at as many different
places in the State, the manufacture
to be carried on without Govern-
ment supervision or payment of tax.
were advised that the managers of a
number of State prisons manufac-
ture within the prison premises
chewing and smoking tobacco for
the exclusive use of the inmates
confined therein, free from Govern-
ment supervision and without pay-
ment of tax imposed upon manu-
factured tobacco products, which
condition has prevailed for a num-
ber of years without interruption,
but a taxable tobacco product man-
ufactured at a State's prison can not
lawfully be removed from the prison
premises for delivery to the
managers of other State institutions
for the use of the inmates confined
therein, unless such manufactured
taxable tobacco products have been
properly packed, labeled and
stamped by a qualified manufac-
turer of tobacco.
Rolls of Tobacco — New Style of Cigars.
A firm recently submitted to the
Commissioner two samples of what
they called cigars, but which were
really rolls of tobacco depressed in
the center, making two cigars at-
tached, and he decided that in no
sense could such rolls of tobacco be
classed as single cigars, but that
each roll must be classed as two ci-
gars; that if cigars are manufactured
in this manner they must be put up
in boxes containing 12, 13, 25, 50,
100, 200, 250 or 500 cigars each;
that for each roll of tobacco similar
to the samples there must be paid a
tax on two cigars, or a tax on 100
cigars for each 50 such rolls of to-
bacco placed in each box; and for
every such roll of tobacco manufac-
tured the manufacturer thereof
would be required to account on his
monthly return, Form 72, and on
his Book 73 for two cigars instead
of one roll of tobacco. Attention
was called to the fact that the larger
sample roll of tobacco would weigh
19 or 20 pounds per thousand, which
would be outside the limitation of
weight of cigars requiring that at
least 1 ,oco cigars shall be reported
for every 25 pounds of unstemmed
leaf tobacco used; and that if such
rolls of tobacco should be made and
reported as one cigar, a deficiency
would appear in the accounts of the
manufacturer, as the average num
ber of cigars of such character
would not correspond to the average
number of pounds of tobacco used
in manufacturing cigars of the larger
class. The Commissioner disap
proved of cigars being manufactured
which would be in any respect
similar to the samples submitted.
Shipments to the Philippines of Articles Subject
to Internal Revenue Tax.
The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has advised collectors and
others concerned as follows :
Section 6 of the act entitled "An
act temporarily to provide revenue
for the Philippine Islands, and for
other purposes , ' ' approved March 8 ,
1902, provides —
* * * That all articles subject
under the laws of the United States
to internal revenue tax, or on which
the internal revenue tax has been
paid, and which may under existing
laws and regulations be exported to
a foreign country without the pay-
ment of such tax, or with benefit of
drawback, as the case may be, may
also be shipped to the Philippine
Islands with like privilege, under
such regulations and the filing of
such bonds, bills of lading, and
other security as the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue may, with the
approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury, prescribe. * * *
Under the authority conferred by
the above quoted provisions of law,
the existing regulations governing
the exportation to foreign countries
of articles subject tointernal revenue
tax. or on which such tax has been
paid, are hereby extended and made
applicable to like articles shipped
from the United States to the Philip-
pine Islands, in bond or with bene-
fit of drawback. In such cases how-
ever, where a foreign landing certi-
ficate is required by regulations to
be furnished by the exporter, the
certificate of the collector of the
islands, as to the landing of the
articles and payment of the duties
thereon, will be accepted in lieu of
the prescribed "certificate of the
foreign revenue officer" and the
"consular verification of the con-
signee's certificate."

the blue haze which he loved so
well, he seemed to hear that squeak
afain.
"Mice," he muttered. Heshud-
dered slightly with disgust as he
thought of the presence of the ver-
min in his rich apartment, and
then gave himself up occe more to
his cigar.
The next interruption occurred a
few moments afterward and ad-
dressed itself to his eyes instead of
to his ears. There seemed to be
another presence in the room, dimly
discernible through the smoke. Not
a hostile presence, but merely a
strange and mysterious one. It
was innocent of drapery, and its
contours were those of a woman.
There was a mild light in her eyes;
her lips were smiling, and she
seemed to hover on wings that
moved ever so gently upon the very
smoke which the old gentleman was
sending out of his mouth.
He laid down his cigar upon the
table by his side, and then rubbed
his eyes and sat up straight, just as
people in story books are always
said to do when apparitions are
about. But this was bo apparition,
nor any other uncanny thing. It
was the friendliest of visitors, and it
made itself known to the old gentle-
man as that spirit which through-
out his long life had been always
staunch and loyal.
"I am,

here, and you do not seem to be
particularly pleased," and the spirit
pouted like the very woman that
she was. "Any perhaps will an-
swer, ' ' responded the old gentleman
in a tone more courteous than h«
had last employed. "Since you
are here, you might tell me some
details of yourself. For instance,
'whence and what art thou,' as the
Miltonian line has it?"
"I am," answered the spirit, "a
halo and a miasm; am impalpable
Puissance. Asa weed I am con-
temptible; as a creation of the com-
mercial genius of mankind I am a
marvel of wealth producers. I am
a savage by birth, and yet a sover-
eign in every civilized land. I pave
the way for mightier forces than my
wild red forefathers ever dreamed
of. I am a poison, rank and noxi-

than dew. I am a conqueror and
a slave. In short, I am the Great

Notwithstanding the memor-
ial which was sent to Congress last
week by the Merchants' Association
of New York, which is a large and
itifluential body, there is every in-
dication that the opposition to the
bill in its present form is weakening,
making its early passage more cer-
tain. The New York Merchants'
Association favored a reduction to
Cuba of not less than 40 per cent
on existing tariffs. They also sent
out 300 000 copies of the resolution,
asking persons interested to appeal
to Congress for quick action.
Members of the trade have re-
ceived from Secretary Staun, of the
Cincinnati Seed Leaf Tobacco Board
of Trade, invitations to the National
Convention to be held in that city
May 5 — 7. with a ticket to the ban
quet which is to follow the closing
of the convention sessions.

The Estahlishment of Geo, A. Main, York, Pa.
The accompanying illustration is
from a photograph taken of the in-
terior of the Diamond Store of Geo.
A. Hain, 7 West Market street,
York, Pa., which although opened
only about two years ago, has be-
come a popular rendezvous of the
elite cigar patrons of York. The
establishment, which is of excellent
dimensions, has been exquisitely
fitted out wiih the most modern
type of fixtures, including counter
and wall show cases. As will be
seen in the cut. in the rear of the
store is a billiard parlor, under
which is a cosily furnished smoking
room . The wall and ceiling decora-
tions ar« in harmony with the fix-
tures, and the floor is covered with
linoleum.
A great pride is taken by Mr.
Hain in window displays, consist
ing of regular and frequent changes,
in connection with which he usually
uses some design in electrical ar
rangements, such as pyramids of
miniaturecoloredincandescents,etc
Over the sidewalk in front of the
establishment also hangs a beauti-
ful electric sign inviting patrons to
the Diamond Store.
Perhaps no other store in the city
of York carries a larger line of high
grade imported and domestic clear
Havana cigars, as well as an exten-
sive stock of seed and Havana and
other goods covering all the popular
brands on the market, which are
made either by local manufacturers
or by Philadelphia or New York
firms.
When last visited by the writer a
special display was being madeof the
"Cuban Gentlemen," a five cent
leader of the Baer Sprenkle Co., of
West Manchester, Pa., upon which
brand an extensive trade has been
built up. The products of nearly
all the local manufacturers, such
as Celestino Costello & Co , Warren
Beck & Bro , George A. Kohler &
Co., La Buta Cigar Co. and others
are carried.
Lately Mr. Hain has also been
doing a nice jobbing trade in cigars,
having been formerly in that line
exclusively. The store is advan-
tageously located, being in close
proximity to the three principal
hotels, near the Centre Square, and
upon York's most prominent thor-
oughfare. The building is a new
one, and attractive outside as well
as inside.

THE MEDICINE MAN
Hearken, Pale Faces!
I am the Medicine Man of whom
the books are full. I am the first
of the slaves of the creature we call
tobacco, and you shall be my
auditors.
I have come back from the land
of shadows to survey what were
once the earthly hunting grounds
of my people. Whatever pertains
to tobacco pertains to me, and The
Tobacco World shall be my bulletin.
In its columns I shall discourse to
you, in a spirit informed with good
sense and animated by good will
towards all among you, on such
topics as shall from time to time ap-
pear to me to be timely and perti-
nent
The United States has been called
one vast university. The teachers
of its people are the newspapers,
and in this university I shall oc-
cupy the Chair of Tobacco.
I invite you to address me on any
subject concerned with tobacco and
I shall thereupon endeavor to make
your communication, whatsoever it
may be, the theme of a discourse
whose aim shall be to interest not
only one but all of you.
Address all such letters thus:
"The Medicine Man, Bureau of The
Tobacco World, 1 1 Burling Slip,
New York."
No attention will be paid to an-
onymous communications.
The following is in answer to a
communication from Mr. Edward
Atkinson, of Boston, Mass.:
THE NATION'S
TOBACCO BILL,
We Spend $457,508,000 Ev-
ery Year for Cigars, Ci-
garettes^ Smoking and
Chewing Tobacco
and Snuff.
All told there are in the United
States at least one million places in
which tobacco, in some one of its
manufactured forms, is sold at re-
tail. This includes all the retail to-
bacco shops, properly so called, all
the bar rooms, restaurants, hotels,
drug stores, barber shops, retail
groceries, candy stands, news
stands, fruit stands, country "gen-
eral stores," department stores in
the larger cities, the regular and ex-
cursion lines of steamers, all dining
cars on trains, all ocean passenger
steamships, stands at picnics, in
short every description of place
which, in one manner or another,
depends upon the sale of tobacco at
retail for the whole or part of its in-
come.
Every estimate of the per capita
consumption of tobacco in the
United States heretofore made ap-
pears to be absurdly low, when we
reflect upon the fact stated in the
preceding paragraph.
The latest estimate is that of Dr.
Gustav Lewinstein, editor of the
"Deutsche Tabak Zeitung," who,
in 1897, computed it at only $1.05.
The United States manufactures
each year about 200,000,000 pounds
of chewing tobacco, the average re-
tail price of which, according to the
estimate of one of the fiscal officers
of the Continental Tobacco Com-
pany, is 50 cents; about 100,000,-
000 pounds of smoking tobacco, the
average retail price of which, ac-
cording to the same authority, is 45
cents, and about 18,000,000 pounds
of snuflf, the average retail price of
which, according to an officer of the
American Snufi" Co., is 50 cents.
This gives, accordingly, $154,-
000,000 as the total retail selling
territory, and the Philippines are I consumption in the United States
only just beginning to send us their
cigars. We export annually only
about 500,000. We manufactured
in the United States during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 190 1, 6,-
176,596,421 cigars, and the Internal
Revenue Department classes every
manufactured roll of tobacco weigh-
ing over 3 pounds to the thousand
as a cigar, and levies an internal
revenue tax of $3 per thousand on
all alike. Inasmuch as the produc-
tion of cigars has increased, during
the last three years of prosperity, at
the rate of about 16 per cent., the
production for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1902, which is close upon
us, will be in round numbers 7,000,-
000,000. To estimate what propor-
tion of this vast number is the so-
called 10 cent cigar of the retail
shops, what proportion the nickel
cigar of commerce, what proportion
cigars retailing at 2 for 5 cents, what
proportion cheroots and stogies, re-
tailing at 3 for 5 cents, and what
proportion the larger sizes of "little
cigars," weighing over 3 pounds
to the thousand and retailing at an
average of 15 cents for packages. of
10, is a very difficult and interesting
problem. One thing seems certain.
of ten cent cigars has been put.
Some of those who disagree with
Mr. Rosener give it as their opinion
that fully 25 per cent, of all th«
cigars made in the United States
are ten cent cigars. The estimate
of 1 ,000,000,000 is probably correct,
and in this estimate we include the
37,000,000 cigars imported from
Cuba. Striking the balance, after
allowing for all variations and
vagaries of price, an average of 8
cents at retail for each of these i ,-
000,000,000 cigars may be consid-
ered as being just.
We expend, therefore:
For chewing tobacco, 5 100,000,000
For syioking tobacco, 45,000,000
For snuflf, 9,000,000
For cigarettes. 17,908,000
For "little cigars" weighing
lass than 3 lbs. per 1000 5,600,000
For 5 cent cigars, i68,ooo,coo
For cheroots and stogies, 20,000,000
For cigars retailing at 2 for
5 cents, 7,500,000
For "little cigars" weighing
over 3 pounds per 1000 4,500,000
For 10 cent cigars, 80,000,000
Total, 1457,508,000
A per capita consumption, ac-
cording to the census of 1900, of
about $6.13, which is not excessive.
It must be borne in mind that every
person who uses tobacco in any of
its forms uses it with a liberal in-
dulgence. Almighty few of them
are moderate users.
The foregoing estimate gives a
total retail business of $457 50 an
namely, that at least 60 per cent, of nually to each of the 1,000,000

consideration, and went through a
large number of samples with the
head of the importing house. At
length he fixed upon a certain lot
of 175 bales and asked the price.
"$1.70 in bond," answered the
importer. This would make the
price out of bond, i. e., with the
duty of $1 .85 per pound, just $3.55.

The sample lots have all been
tested and this week the holders
will know their fate, if not this
week then some other week in the
near future.
Everybody in New York is cheer-
ful. The Sumatra men because the
new crop is better than advance re-
ports had it. The Havana men
because manufacturers are buying
liberally and the seed men because
they are busy with their packings
and in receipt of inquiries for their
holdings.

Coniiderable activity is shown in
the leaf market of Havana, and of
late a great deal of the finer kinds
of tobacco has been purchased by
New York, Philadelphia and Chi-
cago houses.
It was noted that most of the
visitors were at first reluctant to in-
vest, but each goes on record, after
a thorough inspection of the market,
as the purchaser of good sized lots.
There is every indication that prices
later on will advance materially.
The New Crop.
While it is true that rain fell in
the Vuelta Abajo toward the end of
the growing season still it came so
late that it did not materially help
the growing and the wrappers are
reported to show a great deal of
green spotted and sickly leaf. The
burn, however, is said to be perfect.
Naturally there are among the
crop a great many fine vegas and
these are being bought right along
by the chief packers, and the farmers
are receiving excellent prices for
them.
The NeM^ Partidos.
The Partido crop is drying very
well, and some packers have already
taken advantage of the light rains
and bundled their tobaccos. In
Santiago de las Vegas, Florentino
Menetidez had started a packing but
owing to the dry weather he had
temporarily to suspend work as the
leaves after being assorted and laid
on the Hoor, each class by itself,
were found to be too dry. Most
probably by the end of the week he
will start in again to select and
pack.
In Alquixar.
Bruno Diaz is hauling tobacco
to the Hscojida. Carlos Cano, of
Cano y Hermano, is doing the
same. Jorge P. Castaneda y Ca.
are buying tobacco in matules large-
ly in the Tumbadero district, and
will shortly begin their usual pack-
ing in San Antonio de los Banos.
Aixala & Co. are buying in bundles
and by the end of the month will
also begin packing in San Antonio
de los Banos.
huis Marx's Packing.
The tobacco from the farms of
Luis Marx is to be packed in Hav-
ana, bast for this purpose having
been already received. As soon as
weather conditions permit the to-
bacco will be loaded on freight cars
right on the farms and sent to Hav-
ana. Inasmuch as all of Don Luis'
tobacco was grown under shade
everybody is anxious to see how it
will turn out. It is not likely that
curiosity will be gratified for orders
have been given to admit no one
into the packing houses excepting
the help.
Canipano, Garcia >' Ca. in
Guira de Helena .
Campano, Garcia y Ca. are cart-

Sollie Salomon is supervising the
same work for G. Salomon & Bros.
He has been constantly on the go
between Vuelta Arriba, Partidos
and Vuelta Abajo, and to- day is as
well posted about the best tobacco
districts as any one in all Cuba.

Benjamin Labe, of the well-known
Philadelphia firm of Benjamin Labe
& Sons, left for New York on the
steamer "Mexico" on April 12,
after purchasing about 500 bales of
fine tobacco for his trade.
Fine Capaduras for Dohan
& Taitt.
During their recent stay in Hav-
ana, W. H. Dohan and C. J. Craw-
ford, both of Dohan & Taitt, of
Philadelphia, secured some verj
choice first and second Capaduras
of both the old and the new crops,
as well as some very aromatic
Vueltas.

A new cheroot product is now
being placed upon this market by
the Matthews Cigar Co. of Balti-
more, Md. Secretary R. H. Cuth-
bert, of that company, was in the
city last week, and introduced them
among several jobbing houses here.
The goods are put up under the
brand of ' ' Foyer Club. ' ' They are
put up in packages of 5 in a bundle,
each in a separate carton, wrapped,
in fine foil and each package banded,
20 packages to the box and sold to
the trade at $21. They retail at
13c per package, and are warranted
to be a full Havana filled piece of
goods. It is unquestionably a very
attractive package, and those who
have tried them seem delighted
with the really fine quality. Mr.
Cuthbert went from here to Atlantic
City, where he was joined on Sun-
day last by Mr. Matthews, the presi-
dent of the company.
The Liberman Machine Com-
pany's plant on South Fifth street
now presents an animated appear-
ance, with its large force of thor-
oughly experienced mechanics
pushing forward with all vigor the
work on a number of their new |
machines for which orders have
been booked lately. Many new
machines of the most improved
patterns have been recently installed
which will enable the company to
turn out its improved suction tables
at a much more rapid rate.
Liberstein Bros, have moved into
the new factory premises at 434

H. B. Grauley lately launched
two new brands of cigars upon this
market, viz: "Orange Flower" and
"Frank Mayo," which since April
I have done nicely. The "Golden
Rule," his special leader in nickel
goods, is keeping right in the fr^.nt
ranks of the procession.
Henry Heymann, of T. J. Dunn
& Co., has again started on a
western business trip. The placing
on the market of their "Dunoro"
clear Havana brand has required
considerable attention, and the
goods are said to have been favor-
ably received by a number of houses
with which they have been already
placed. Gerson L Heymann, of
this house,- is at present in the
middle west.
Frank Teller, of Frank Teller &
Co., has also lately been on a
western business trip.
IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
The Loeb-Nunez Havana Co. has
j had a rather active trade during the
{ past few weeks, according to reports
from i^ecretary Herold — Remedios
and Vueltas being in fairly good
demand. H. M. Joel, who covers
the western trade, has been specially
successful this spring. J. Green-
wald has been busy in looking after
the firm's Pennsylvania trade,

Benj. Labe & Sons inform us that
they received on the steamer
"Mexico" from Havana 401 bales
of Havana tobacco, a portion of the

Jacob Labe, of this firm, to Cuba
when several good- sized lots were
secured Mr. Labe returned from
Havana on Sunday night last, and
94 additional bales have arrived on
the "City of Washington" this
week.

Chas. Hippie, of Hippie Bros.,
spent eight hours very industriously
in New York City last week, look-
ing over the leaf market and exam-
ining Connecticut wrappers and
seconds. He made three purchases
of such goods as are especially suit-
able to this market, and are of the
best in every regpect. The firm
claims to have the best that is in
the market to-day. They are now
also showing the trade some very
thin, fine color, Florida Sumatra,
that will, they say,outyi«ld Sumatra

Leopold Loeb cabled to his office
last week that he had secured at the
third inscription 750 bales Deli My

way.
S. Weinberg has received a ship-
ment of the Pennsylvania Broadleaf
filler goods which he made a per-
sonal selection of recently.
S. Agatstein, has returned from a
several weeki trip west, which in-
j eluded Cincinnati and other points.

Harry Dolinsky, of H. Dolinsky

Connecticut, where he says he was

salesman, now representing Bondy
& Lederer, of New York, informs
us that he is doing elegantly with
his firm's products on the Pacific
Coast, where he has been for some
months. The "Tom Keene" brand
is being extensively handled in Los
Angeles by Fred. Barman & Bro.,
and in San Francisco by Rinald*

FHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
A better feeling generally has
prevailed in the local leaf market
during the past week. Inquiries
have been received, but for such
types of tobacco as there is a partic-
ular scarcity of, which has neces-
sarily marred the volume of busi-
ness actually done. Several moder-
ate sized transactions in Connecti-
cut tobacco, both old and new, have
been reported, but the present prices
on Wisconsin binder stock seem to
have precluded its ready sale. The
force sweated Pennsylvania is meet-
ing with a ready sale, and desirable
lots of old goods would be quickly
picked up if prices were at all within
a reasonable limit, according to the
buyer's idea.
The new Sumatra tobacco, of
which samples are being looked at,
is regarded with considerable favor-
by a number of manufacturers, and
a fair share of business has been
done. The market in old tobacco
has remained rather quiet.

friend who had been theretofore in-
different to my cause approached
me in the lobby, saying:
" *I am going to get you that
place. I thought you had left town.
The old man (meaning the secretary
of the department in which I had
hoped to enter) is upstairs. Stay
here; for personal reasons I shall
block the appointment of the other
fellow. His senator has done me
dirt; just wait. I will be back in
five minutes.'
"It is superfluous to say that I
'waited,' and that my hand was a
trifle shaky as I let go of the swing-
ing gas jet with which I had lighted
my cigar. My heretofore luke-
warm friend returned to the oflBce
in a few minutes, and with him I
ascended to the presence of the big
chief. The big chief said that he
was glad to meet me, had heard all
about me; that I was just the man
whose peculiar aptitude made me
fitted for the place in which he in-
tended to install me, etc., but I
knew in my own heart that if I
hadn't stopped to buy that cigar,
and if the senator backing my op
ponent hadn't 'done' my influential
fried 'dirt,' the big chief would
never have discorered those re-
markable qualities of mine.
"Now for the sequel, as this is a
true story: My opponent, becoming
disgusted, went to New York,
entered the practice of law, married
a wealthy woman, and makes today
thousands where I make hundreds
of dollars. And the question re-
mains, would I today have been
better oflF if I had bought that cigar
elsewhere and left town the next
day?" — Washington Star.

Leaf Board Meets — Delegates to Conven-
tion Appointed.
There has been little change in the
conditions of the local leaf market
during the past week, and no trans-
actions of any special note have
been reported. The aggregate of
the numerous small sales would, of
course, amount to considerable.
Buying of the new crop continues,
and in some localities it is now
pretty well cleaned up.
The opinion is generally prevalent
that this year's acreage will in all
probability be about as large as
that of last year. ,
The cigar industry remains steady
in most towns although in some
there is a scarcity of orders.
A meeting of the old Tobacco
Leaf Board of Trade was held on
Wednesday evening in Martin's
Hall. President John D. Skiles ,
called the meeting to order. He ;
referred to the slim attendance, and
said it seemed hardly worth while
to attempt to maintain the organiza-
tion. M. M. Fry was appointed
temporary secretary.
Morris Rosenthal said we ought
to have a large organization. The
dealers here are more interested
than those in the larger cities. It
was important to find out whether
those present wanted an organiza-
tion or not. We appear to be the
only place that lags behind in this
matter.
Walter S. Bare spoke most urg-
ently in favor of continuing an or-
ganization, and strongly advocated
steps to increase its membership
and influence. He pointed to the
fact that there were many matters
in which such an organization could
be of infinite benefit, and stated that
he would much deplore the possi
bility of allowing it to die of inani-
tion. He believed in going ahead
and expanding its scope, inasmuch
as it could be made a matter of
interest to all the trade.
Mr. Rosenthal said he believed in
monthly meetings, at which all
matters of interest pertaining to the
trade should be discussed. He
moved to appoint a committee to
visit the local trade and bring them
into the organization. I
M. M. Fry, who is a member of
the National Board, said he almost
felt ashamed to go before that body
alone as the sole representative of
the largest cigar leaf- growing county
in the country. He called attention
to the good the National Board has
already done, and said it could do
much more.
The President said what must be
done to night was to find out
whether we can raise enough money
to send representatives to the Asso-
ciation at the Cincinnati meeting.
Twelve persons arose at the request
of the President, and handed over
ten dollars each. A committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Bare, Rosenthal,
DeHaven and Mowery was named
to canvass for more subscribers.
Mr. Rosenthal was named tem-
porary treasurer to take charge of
the funds.
The President appoint ?d Walter
S. Bare and Morris Rosenthal dele-
gates to the National Board Con-
vention, after which the meeting ad-
journed.

the manufacture of the "Ben Aus-
trian" cigar, the entire product of
which is taken by a single Philadel-
phia drug firm.
Blachman & Nagle have placed
a new nickel brand on the market
called the "Bijoux," which is meet-
ing with success. Mr. Blachman,
the senior member of the firm, will
leave shortly on an extended trip
through the state. The firm's out-
look for the spring trade is encour-
aging-
W. W. Prutzman, is enjoying a
large run on the "Greater Reading"
cigar, which he is putting up in 5
and 10 cent sizes. He is also mak-
ing a number of the "UpOn," a
cigar of wide reputation here. Mr.
Riegel makes weekly trips to dif-
ferent sections of the State.
Cigar manufacturer John J. Roth
has acquired an additional apart-
ment, 80x120 feet in sizt, on the
second floor of 732 Penn street,
where his present factory is located.
This gives him almost the entire
floor. The place is being fitted out,
and he expects to employ about
thirty additional hands. |
W. W. Riegel, cigar manufac-
turer and leaf tobacco dealer at
Second and Greenwich streets, will
shortly extensively advertise his
new nickel brand "Quintus," which
he placed on the market several
weeks ago and which has already
met with considerable success. At
present Mr. Riegel is paying sptcial
attention to leaf tobacco packing.
He recently received a large con-
signment from Lancaster county of
Havana seed and Pennsylvania Seed
leaf, about 100 cases in all, which
he is now packing. He manufac-
tures the "Lehigh Valley." a nickel
brand, which is popular through-
out the coal regions.
At a meeting of Cigarmakers'
Union, No. 236, Taylor & Weber,
cigar manufacturers of Pottstown,
were granted the use of the cigar-
maker's blue label, as was Philip j
Hildebrand, of this city. This |
makes 53 factories using the blue
label under the jurisdiction of this
union.
George W. Lehr enjoys a large'
run on the new brand he placed on I
the market some time ago called
"Lehr's Spanish Smoker." It is
a nickel cigar.
Extension for Yocum Bros.
Yocum Bros., cigar manufac-
turers at Seventh and Walnut
streets, have a force of men at work
removing a row of houses which
occupy the adjoining lots on the
north side of their factory along
Zieber's Court. These will make
way for an annex which the firm
will build to the factory as the busi-
ness has outgrown its present head-
quarters. Architect H. S. Head is
at work on the plans for the addi-
tion, which will be six stories in
height, and about 70x90 feet in
dimensions. The annex will be
used for the manufacture of cigars
as well as the storage of tobacco.
Latest News from York, Pa.
Manufacturers should exercise a
certain amount of caution in filling
orders received unsolicited from
parties with no reputation or finan-
cial rating. Such orders are oft-
times received, giving references on
the usual commercial agencies.
The ordinary manufacturer takes
for granted the reference without
really making the inquiry, and sends
the samples or fills the order. In
either case the result is the same,
and the commercial agents are asked
to collect overdue accounts, instead
of having been asked previously to
make inquiries.
C. H. Sicker, manufacturer and
dealer in cigars, has removed to his
new place of business in the Gross
building, 275 West Market street.

THB TOBACCO WORLD
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 lor.
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 tlat 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-
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.
Ask for booklet w. s. , when writing to us.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
We are conscious of the fact that
very few sales are being made at
present. Packers ordinarily pick
up a few lots if they can be had at
as low rates as they desire, in order
to reduce the general average of
prices. But if it can't be obtained
at previous rates, or higher, they
seldom buy more. So parties may
fully understand that if they sell
now, the chances are against an im-
proved price. V/e notice that a
firm in New York is making a brand
of cigars of pure Havana, called
the "Vanderbilt." Each cigar is
to cost the smoker $i. The box
containing them is of elaborate
workmanship, and lined with white
silk.
The shade-grown tobacco, 41
acres, yielded some over 56,000
pounds. This is to be sold Thurs-
day, May I, at auction, at Hartford.
The committee for the sale is Ariel
Michelson, Luther M. Case and
Alfred A. Elds, all Connecticut
men. The acre raised by J. A. Du
Bon of Poquonock, Ct., has already
been sold, the prices ranging from
$1.40 to $2.50 per pound, averag-
ing about $2. The coming sale at
auction will give a good test of its
value. The work of erecting the
frame has been going on for two or
three weeks.
The outlook for good prices for
the 1 90 1 crop of seed leaf and Ha-
vana was never better for fair to
good crops. The only drawback is
the crazy notion of granting a con-
cession to Cuba. Its effects are not
only injurious to the growers, but
to the manufacturer of cigars, as
it allows of a percentage off from
cigars, and opportunity for the in-
troduction of such goods in the year
that it will badly handicap the trade
for years. Such is our opinion, if
anything should be done as desired
by partisans.
Our correspondents write :
Northampton: "I have been help-
ing the McGrath Brothers of Hadley
assort about 125 cases of 1901 to-
bacco, as I am an experienced hand
at the business. Their packing has
all been bought at from 7 to loc.
They have a good lot. Among the
crops bought wa» one of 5 tons at
Conway at 8c. Of these 5 tons,
about 1 ,000 pounds were badly pole
burned. The rest was good, prob
ably not quite ripe, so is a little
dark. My Zimmer's Spanish has
come out of the sweat all right."
Putney: "The last year's crop is
about all sold, or sorted and packed.
The coming crop will be needed to
make up our losses this year. It
isn't very likely that the 1902 plant-
ing will exceed that of 1901, prob-
ably be less."
Williamsburg: "The wet, cold
and disagreeable weather has not

BALDWINSVILLE, N. Y.
A number of buyers have been in
the field during the past week and
have been riding. Very few sales
have been reported, although a con-
siderable amount has been said to
have been picked up at prices rang-
ing from 5 to 10 cents. The assort-
ing at the warehouses where tobacco
is being rehandled continues. ▲
large number of cases have been
delivered by the growers within the
last few days, most of which has
been shipped. On Thursday and
Friday of last week J. T. Skinner,
representing G. Falk & Bro., re-
ceived about 400 cases and Lewis
Sylvester & Son received 150 cases
Saturday. J. Bunzl& Son received
on the first three days of the week,
taking in about 400 casts which
was shipped to their warehouse at
New Milford, Conn. Joseph
Mayers' Sons, of New York, also
received about 350 cases last week
which was shipped to New York.
Among the out of town buyers still
in the field are Max Stern, of Lewis
Sylvester & Son, New York.S. D.
Green, of J. Bunzl & Son, George
Erisman, of Lancaster, Pa., and H.
P. Taylor, representing M. M. Fry
of Lancaster. A well informed
buyer estimates that considerable
over three quarters of the 1901 crop
has now been sold. Included in
the balance still in the growers'
hands are a number of crops of good
quality. But very few growers have
prepared their plant beds.— Gazette.
Tobacco as an Aid to Courtship.
The Tchulian Coelebs in search
of a wife, having filled a brand new
pipe with fragrant tobacco, stealth-
ily enters the dwelling of the fair
one upon whom he has bestowed
his affections, deposits the pipe
upon a conspicuous article of furni-
ture and retires on tiptoes to some
convenient hiding place in the
neighborhood, local etiquette re-
quiring that he should execute this
strategic movement apparently un-
detected by the damsel of his choice
or any other member of her family.
Presently he returns without further
affectation of secrecy and looks
into the apartments in a casual sort
of way. A single glance at the
pipe he left behind him enables him
to learn the fate of his proposal.
If it has been smoked he goes forth
an accepted and exultant bride-
groom; if not, the offer of his hand
and heart has been so irrevocably
rejected as not to be even worth a
pipe of tobacco.

"Act of April 12, 1902."
It will go into eflfect July i, 1902,
Tvhen all the special war taxes will
be abolished, and the tax on to-
bacco and snuff restored to six cents
per pound, with a provision for a
rebate of the excess of tax over that
rate previously paid on unbroken
stamped packages then on hand.
The tax on cigarettes weighing
more than three pounds per 1,000
also goes back to the old rate, $3
per 1 ,000. The tax on cigars and
on small cigarettes is unchanged.
"Section 3. That upon tobacco
and snuff manufactured and sold,
or removed for consumption or use,
there shall be levied and collected,
in lieu of the tax now imposed by
law, the following taxes:
"On snuff, manufactured of to
bacco or any substitute for tobacco,
ground, dry, damp, pickled, scented
or otherwise, of all descriptions,
when prepared for use, a tax of six
cants per pound. And snuff flour,
when sold, or removed for use or
consumption, shall be taxed as
snuff, and shall be put up in pack-
ages and stamped in the same man-
ner as snuff.
"On all chewing and smoking to-
bacco, fine cut, cavendish, plug or
twist, cut or granulated, of every
description; on tobacco twisted by
hand or reduced into a condition to
be consumed, or in any manner
other than the ordinary mode of
drying and curing, prepared for
sale or consumption, even if pre-
pared without the use of machine
or instrument, and without being
pressed or sweetened; and on all
fine cut shorts and refuse scraps,
\ teller, in the following manner:
! He did not care to risk the selec-
tion of a half dozen or more differ-
kinds of cigars, so he took two
brands, three boxes of each, with
which he was acquainted and which
he felt willing to stand for. But
when these two were placed in the
case they had a lonesome look and
he saw that variety was necessary if
he was going to prosper to any great
degree, so he put his thinker to
work, and this is where his genius
came to light:
It happened that the two cigars
he had stocked up with were blessed
with a couple of those musical com-
pound Spanish names common to
such household necessities, and with
a little paper and paste six distinct
and individual brands were quickly
produced. With one box he cov-
ered up half the first half of the
compound word; with the next he
covered up the last half, and the
third he left as nature made it. The
same process was administered to
the other three boxes which bore
the other compound name, and his
extensive range was complete.
The idea was accepted without
question by his customers, who are
not particularly well versed in
Spanish and not excessively parti
cular as to their brand of cigars;
still it is somewhat amusing to see
a man insist on having the contents
of a certain box and refusing em-
phatically its neighbor, which is

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Cigat Factory Numbers.
The Commissioner has recently
denied the urgent requests of several
manufacturers that they be granted
theprivilege of manufacturing cigars
under two factory numbers upon
the same factory premises. The
Regulations, No 8, page 66, pro-
vide that no manufacturer shall be
allowed to operate more than one
factory within the same limited and
described factory premises, nor to
have more than one factory number
for such premises. This does not,
however, prevent a manufacturer
from operating two or more s«parate
and distinct factories in the same
building. Part of a building may
be occupied for manufacturing ci-
gars under one factory number, and
±l6lld,ni, Pa, another part under another number.

and two or more manufacturers
may operate cigar factories in the
same building under different num-
bers, but each factory must be pro-
vided with its own storage room,
work shop and packing room sepa-
rate and apart from other separate
bonded factory premises. If two or
more factories are operated by the
same manufacturer in the same
building, the material intended to
be used at one factory must be
stored separately from material in-
tended to be used at another factory
in that building, and the two fac-
tories must be conducted separately,
as though two separate persons
were manufacturing the cigars in
separate bonded premises. Where
there is but one entrance to the
building, however, the elevator, or
public way in the building, may be
used jointly by the several manu-
facturers for conveying their mater-
ial and manufactured goods to and
from the building.
Sale of Leal Tobacco by GroTrers.
The Commissioner has once more
ruled, in regard to the rights of to-
bacco growers, that a grower may
sell tobacco of his own growth or
raising, or that which he receives
from his tenants as rent for land,
without restriction as to the quan-
tity sold or the business of the per-
son to whom the tobacco is sold
and delivered. This privilege is
one which the farmer or grower can
not delegate to another person.
Further, that where a grower of to-
bacco sells his crop before it is
severed from the land to another
person the purchaser would not be
privileged to resell the tobacco to
consumers without payment of the
tax.
A farmer or grower of tobacco
may place his tobacco in the hands
of a qualified dealer in leaf tobacco
to be sold by him on commission,
and such dealer must sell the to-
bacco only to other qualified leaf
dealers or to qualified manufacturers
of tobacco or cigars, or to persons
who buy leaf tobacco in packages
for export .
Any arrangement made by a
farmer, or a number of farmers, with
another person to sell and deliver
his or their tobacco for him or them
while traveling from place to place
would be in violation of law. An
agent who is paid a stipulated
salary may travel and solicit order*
for the sale of tobacco raised by an-
other person, but he may not de-
liver the tobacco to purchasers, no^p
can he sell tobacco on commission
or receive as compensation for his
services the difference between the
price as fixed by the farmer and the
selling price.
All tobacco sold by an agent for
the farmer who raised the tobacco
must be delivered by the farmer,
and not the agent, directly to the
person who purchased the tobacco;
and a iarmer must sell his tobacco
in the condition in which it was
cured on the farm and can not stem,
twist, plait, roll, sweeten or other-
wise manipulate it for sale to con-
sumers.
In reply to an inquiry whether a
farmer residing in one county may
remove his tobacco to another
county and sell the same to farmers
for consumption, and whether he
has the right to strip the tobacco,
but not twist it, and sell the same
to consumers, it was advised that a
farmer or grower of tobacco may
sell his raw leaf tobacco in the con-
dition in which it was cured on the
farm, to any person and at any
pi ace, or in any amount desired,
whether the tobacco be put up in
hogsheads, cases or bales, or sold
and delivered loose in the hand; but
that a farmer or grower is not priv-
ileged to stem, twist, roll, plait,
sweeten or otherwise change the
raw leaf tobacco and sell the same
to consumers, as all tobacco so
manipulated is regarded as manu-
factured tobacco and subject to tax.
Duplicate Treasury Warrants.
A collector recently advised thai
a large number of warrants sent out
to claimants from his office had
been lost in a railroad wreck, and
asked whether the claimants must
wait six months before they could
get duplicate warrants, and whether
bonds would be required in such
cases. He was advised that section
3646 of the Revised Statutes, re-
quiring six months to elapse before
a duplicate check could be issued
for one lost, stolen or destroyed,
only applied to such checks as had
been issued by United States dis-
bursing officers and agents, and did
not apply to Internal Revenuesettle-
ment warrants issued in payment of

rebate claims; and, further, that
duplicate warrants are issued within
a reasonable time after proper proof
has been submitted showing loss of
the original warrant, and that in
these cases an indemnity bond is
required to be executed. It was
further advised that all applications
for issuance of duplicates should
be addressed directly to the "Treas-
urer of th2 United States, Washing-
ton, D. C," where they would re-
ceive immediate attention. If the
name of the payee is misspelled, or
firm name or style is not correctly
written in warrant, it can be sent
directly to the Honorable Secretary
of the Treasury, OflBce of Book-
keeping and Warrants, for cor-
rection, the applicant pointing out
the error complained of and asking
for proper correction. If there is
an error in the amount of the war-
rant, that matter should be called to
i the attention of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, who has these
warrants compared with the records
of allowed claims before they are
forwarded to the collector for further
record and delivery; and a mistake
in the amount of the warrant, if too
small, can only be corrected gener-
ally by filing a supplemental or an
amended claim.
Tobacco stems, which in former
years were almost thrown away, are
now said to command a price of
$10 a ton. A Louisville concern is
now buying practically all the stems
from Owensbjro factories. For-
merly these stems were sold to i
farmers or shipped to fruit growers !
in Florida to be used as a fertilizer. :
Then the price ranged from $3 to j
$5 per ton. Now the price paid is
$10 per ton, and the stems are man- j
ufactured into a useful tobacco pro-
duct.

If the crops in Nebraska are as people of Omaha are discriminating

the farmers, it is predicted, will
literally be weltering in money.
Good luck to them. They will
know how to use it, for if there is
upon this planet another community
so large as that of Nebraska de-
pendent almost wholly upon agri-
culture for its wealth, as are the
people of Nebraska, who are as sane
as the Nebraskans, the world has
yet to hear of them.
No commercial class in the Union
will rejoice more at the prosperity
of Nebraska than that class which
lives by the manufacture and sale
of cigars. Nebraska has been a
good cigar state from the days when
Omaha was a string of wooden
shacks, and as the people progressed
in material well being and in cul-
ture, it has become better and better,
so that to day it is one of the very
best cigar states in the Union.
Omaha is a very large tigar dis-
tributing center, and Lincoln is a
close second. The leading jobbers
of Omaha are John Alperson, Sher-
ret Cigar Co., Duffy & Co., The
Continental Cigar Co., Meyer,
Moritz Cigar Co., Kaufman & Co.,
Charles A. Tracy, Wm. Stockers
Cigar Co., O. D. Kiplinger, Robert-
son Bros., and M. A. Todd.
Thoseof Lincoln are Wm. Seelen-
freund, P. A. Brown & Co., Mar-
quette-Teft Cigar Co.. Frank Du
Teil, Fred. A. Povell, and A. W.
Johnson & Co.
It is the five cent cigar, of course,
which is in most general demand
throughout Nebraska, and these are
freely advertised in the newspapers
of the state by many of the big
Eastern manufacturers. Omaha

The Common Law Is Sufficient.
There has been a good deal of
hysteria and more or less demagog-
ism in our anti-trust legislation.
That is not surprising, because the
combinations to which the name of
trust has been applied are of unpre-
cedented magnitude and it is natural
that people should fear a misuse of
the enormous power of aggregated
capital. It has seemed to many
that new laws were required to deal
with conditions which were in one
sense new.
In reality, however, the condi-
tions are not new in their essence.
In kind they are very old; it is only
in degree that they are new. The
common law dealt with pretty much
CTery kind of monopoly centuries '
ago and the slow processes out of
which this law emerges have made
it juat. At least they have made it
far more just than statutes framed
at a time of popular excitemtnt are
likely to be. j
It it time that we were past the
hysterical stage in dealing with the I
combines. It is time that we should i
recognize the fact that they are not |
a new species of monster; that some '
of them may be essentially mono- 1
polies, while some of them may be /
wholly innocent; that the common !
law is sufficient to cover the case '
of those which are not innocent, |
and that there is nothing to be
gained and much to be lost in per-
secuting those that are innocent. |
Of course, there should always '
be held in reserve the power of
public regulation of a monopoly, |
but it may be hardly less important |
to bear in mind that self-interest is |
often a better regulator even of !
monopoly than a public agency.
THB LADY MAR LABEL.
''A Thing of Beauty Is
a Joy Forever.*'
The above is the motto adopted
by the Penn Cigar Co., of Reading,
Pa., in some of their advertising
matter, as will be seen by their
special announcement in this issue
of The Tobacco World. And there
is really more truth in this saying
than poetry; for in the present day
of universal activity a cigar manu-
facturer adopts a striking label as a
means of more quickly catching the
eye, and to create an immediate de-
sire to try the product. Then if,
fortunately, the manufacturer has
oflfered an article of merit and one
that pleases the palate of apprecia
tive smokers, he has indeed won an
important position in his fight for
larger and successful sales.
It is, perhaps, possible to secure i
an even more expensive label than
the Lady Mar has been, but therein
these manufacturers have gained a
point of vantage for it is sufficiently
beautiful to do homage to an even
higher graue of goods, but by reason
of its extreme beauty and moderate
cost the manufacturers are enabled
to expend the difference in the cost

on the quality of goods made under
this brand, which they claim is in
every way essentially a loc cigar
that is being sold to the jobbing
trade at a price enabling their dis
tribution at a figure so low that
retailers can sell them at 5c straight,
and have a very fair margin of profit.
The Lady Mar is a hand- work
product, of the choicest tobacco,
and carries a fine Sumatra wrapper.
In the launching of the Lady
Mar brand of cigars the Penn Cigar
Co. endeavored to embody every
essential of a product that is destined
to become ultimately successful . Its
quality the firm guaranteed, and
they have certainly not overlooked
the idea of beautifying the package
for the purpose of more immediate
attractiveness, for in this particu-
lar they have been signally success-
ful. It has been declared by art
critics that the Lady Mar label is
one of the handsomest that adorns
a cigar box.
The Lady Mar cigar, which is a
stictly five-cent piece of goods, has
been already successfully placed
with the trade, and duplicate orders
are beginning to arrive.
The trimmings of the package
throughout are in full harmony
with the label.
Th« goods are made in several
shape* and sizes, and all are Sumatra
wrapptd.

NEBRASKA.
If the crops in Nebraska are as
good in 1902 as they were in 1901,
the farmers, it is predicted, will
literally be weltering in money.
Good luck to them. Thv-y will
know how to use it, for if there is
upon this planet another community
so large as that of Nebraska de-
pendent almost wholly upon agri- ,
culture for its wealth, as are the
people of Nebraska, who are as sane |
as the Nebraskans, the world has
yet to hear of them.
No commercial class in the Union
will rejoice more at the prosperity
of Nebraska than that class which
lives by the manufacture and sale
of cigars. Nebraska has been a
good cigar state from the days when
Omaha was a string of wooden
shacks, and as the people progressed
in material well being and in cul-
ture, it has become better and better,
so that to day it is one of the very
best cigar states in the Union.
Omaha is a very large -ligar dis-
tributing center, and Lincoln is a
close second. The leading jobbers
of Omaha are John Alperson, Sher-
ret Cigar Co., DuflFy & Co., The
Continental Cigar Co., Meyer,
Moritz Cigar Co., Kaufman & Co.,
Charles A. Tracy, Wm. Stockers
Cigar Co., O. D. Kiplinger, Robert-
son Bros., and M. A. Todd.
Those of Lincoln are Wm, Seelen-
freund, P. A. Brown & Co., Mar-
quette-Teft Cigar Co.. Frank Du
Teil, Fred. A. Povell, and A. W.
Johnson & Co.
It is the five cent cigar, of course,
which is in most general demand
throughout Nebraska, and these are
freely advertised in the newspapers
of the state by many of the big
Eastern manufacturers. Omaha
and Lincoln, which are each popul-
ous with men of culture and of
steadily growing wealth, are good
markets for the finer grades of seed
and Havana and clear Havana ci-
gars, and houses like Y. Pendas &
Alvarez, M. Stachelberg & Co.,
The Erlich Manufacturing Co.,
Sanchez & Haya, The B. H. Gato
Cigar Co., and others have a valua-
ble clientele in each of these two
cities.
The schools, newspapers and
theatres of Omaha arc excellent.
The people who are educated at
these schools and who buy the news-
papers and fill the theatres are well-
to-do. amiable and judicious. No
prosy newspaper conkl live in
Omaha, and no barnstormer has
ever prospered there. These things
being so, is it any wonder that the
people of Omaha are discriminating
judges of cigars?
How Beautiful.
A stick, a piece of orange peel.
The stump of a cigar,
Once trodden by a princely heel,
How beautiful they are.

The Common Law Is Sufficient.
There has been a good deal of
hysteria and more or less demagog-
ism in our anti- trust legislation.
That is not surprising, because the
combinations to which the name of
trust has been applied are of unpre-
cedented magnitude and it is natural
that people should fear a misuse of
the enormous power of aggregated
capital. It has seemed to many
that new laws were required to deal
with conditions which were in one
sense new.
In reality, however, the condi-
tions are not new in their essence.
In kind they are very old; it is only
in degree that they are new. The
common law dealt with pretty much
every kind of monopoly centuries
ago and the slow processes out of
which this law emerges have made
it just. At least they have made it
far more just than statutes framed
at a time of popular excitemtnt are
likely to be.
It is time that we were past the
hysterical stage in dealing with the
combines. It is time that we should
recognize the fact that they are not
a new species of monster; that some
of them may be essentially mono-
polies, while some of them may be
wholly innocent; that the common
law is sufficient to cover the case
of those which are not innocent,
and that there is nothing to be
gained and much to be lost in per-
secuting those that are innocent.
Of course, there should always
be held in reserve the power of
public regulation of a monopoly,
but it may be hardly less important
to bear in mind that self-interest is
often a better regulator even of
monopoly than a public agency.
THB hADY MAR ISABEL.
**A Thing of Beauty Is
a Joy Forever."
The above is the motto adopted
by the Penn Cigar Co., of Reading,
Pa., in some of their advertising
matter, as will be seen by their
special announcement in this issue
of The Tobacco World. And there
is really more truth in this saying
than poetry; for in the present day
of universal activity a cigar manu-
facturer adopts a striking label as a
means of more quickly catching the
eye, and to create an immediate de-
sire to try the product. Then if,
fortunately, the manufacturer has
offered an article of merit and one
that pleases the palate of apprecia
tive smokers, he has indeed won an
important position in his 6ght for
larger and successful sales.
It is, perhaps, possible to secure
an even more expensive label than
the Lady Mar has been, but therein
these manufacturers have gained a
point of vantage for it is sufficiently
beautiful to do homage to an even
higher grade of goods, but by reason
of its extreme beauty and moderate
cost the manufacturers are enabled
to expend the difference in the cost

on the quality of goods made under
this brand, which they claim is in
every way essentially a roc cig.ir
that is being sold to the jobbing
trade at a price enabling their dis-
tribution at a figure so low that
retailers can sell them at 5c straight,
and have a very fair margin of profit.
The Lady Mar is a hand- work
product, of the choicest tobacco,
and carries a fine Sumatra wrapper.
In the launching of the Lady
Mar brand of cigars the Penn Cigar
Co. endeavored to embody every
essential of a product that is destined
to become ultimately successful . Its
quality the firm guaranteed, and
they have certainly not overlooked
the idea of beautifying the package
for the purpose of more immediate
attractiveness, for in this particu-
lar they have been signally success-
ful. It has been declared by art
critics that the Lady Mar label is
one of the handsomest that adorns
a cigar box.
The Lady Mar cigar, which is a
stictly five-cent piece of goods, has
been already successfully placed
with the trade, and duplicate orders
are beginning to arrive.
The trimmings of the package
throughout are in full harmony
with the label.
The goods are made in several
shapes and sizes , and all are Sumatra
wrapped.

THE MliDTCINE MAN
The Story of
Mohammed Ali,
Mohammed Ali, the most famous
and successful ruler of Egypt since
the days of the original Pharaohs,
for he died peacefully upon the
throne which he had won for him-
self, was born in Cavula, Roumelia,
in 1769. He was of very humble
parentage, and in early life earned
a livelihood by peddling tobacco.
He was still a young man when
he joined the Turkish army under
the Capitan Pasha. This was at
the time when the British were
fighting Napoleon in Egypt. The
young soldier quickly rose and, as
aga at the head of three hundred
Albanians and Roumelists, distin-
guished himself on the march on
Cairo, after the battle in which
Abercrombie fell, — having been the
first to enter Rahmanieh on the ;
evacuation of that place prior to
Napoleon's attempt to conquor the
country by the French. Egypt
had long been under the sway of
the Mamelukes, and no sooner were
the French expelled and the English
about to leave, than these old feudal
chieftains who had been squelshed
both by the French and tht I<)nglish,
raised their heads once more and
that is just where they put their
foot in it, for the eagle eye of the
young adventurer from Cavula at
once perceived that since the Mame-
lukes, survivals of Egypt's foolish
past, were the only power to be
dreaded, he was safe in matching
himself against them. The struggle
was a long one, but in the end Mo-
hammed Ali won. He got the
Mamelukes into his power by
treachery and murdered them in
cold blood, it is true, but the Mame-
lukes themselves had been deceitful
murderers for centuries, and all
F^gypt was glad to be rid of them.
The Mamelukes disposed of, Mo-
hammed Ali was secure upon his
throne as Pasha of Egypt, but be-
fore that he had, of course, to mount

New York leaf merchants have
frequently complained that when-
ever they have been compelled to
bring suit against Pennsylvania
courts they have usually found that
justice was a matter of local pride
with juries.
! The firm of I. J. Schoener & Co.,
of 169 Water street, sold to A. F.
Muehlhauser, a cigar manufacturer
of Qaakertown, 7 bales of Havana
tobacco in bond. Mr. Muehlhauser
paid for 2 bales and returned the
other five. The seller refused to
accept the 5 bales and notified the
buyer that they had been stored at
his expense and that at the expira-
tion of the time when payment for
them was due suit would be brought
for the amount of the purchase
price.
I Suit was brought and the case
was tried at Doylestown, the county
seat of Bucks County, on April 21,
I before a local jury.
I The plaintiflFs were represented by
Hon. Henry Lear, of Doylestown,
and Albert H. Kittleman, of Quaker-
town. The defendant's attorneys
were Mr. Yardley and John V.
Onimeren. The only witnesses
called by the plaintiflfs were I. M.
Jacoby, a member of the firm of I.
J. Schoener & Co , and M. Bauml,
the firm's salesman, who testified as
to the sale. The plaintiflFs rested
their case upon this testimony.
Mr. Jacoby says that the main ef-
fort of the defense was to prove that
six bales out of the seven were not
up to sample. One of the witnesses
for the defence was a German cigar-

for their trade. Business generally
has been moving along nicely with
them, and by the way, they have at
present a good-sized shipment of
Sumatra on the way to the States,
which was purchased on the i8th.

Edward VIL as a Smoker.
King Edward VII. of England is
known to caricature if not to fame,
as an iniPeterate smoker. Recently,
with reference to the King's un-
usual abstention from smoking at
the Shire Horse Show, a corres-
pondent of To- Day offered this
solution to the mystery: "For some
time past his Majesty's throat has
given him considerable trouble; I
understand that his physicans have
advised him to curtail considerably
the cigars of which he is so fond. I
have excellent reasoas for believing
that a 'smoker's throat' brought
about by excessive smoking, was
the raison d'etre of the somewhat
[exaggerated fears for the King's
health, so generally current a few
months ago."

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The leaf market during the past
week has remained quiet yet the
volume of business done during the
month of April has not been so bad
after all, notwithstanding the con-
tinued sluggishness. The smaller
houses have perhaps done a better
business comparatively, than the
packers and larger handlers, as the
greater portion of the business done
was in sales of smaller lots. There
were no particularly large sales of
any kind reported during the month.
Local houses have lately received
considerable force sweat Connecti
cut for which is apparently a more
or less ready sale as well as for all
suitable binder stock. In face of
the scarcity the inquiry for binder
leaf remains strong, but a sufficient
quantity can not be had at a price [
that is acceptable to the cigar man- 1
ufacturer. J
In Sumatra purchasers still show |
a desire to hold aloof until still j
more can be seen of the new goods
and sales are consequently limited
in volume, while this process of
comparison between the old and new
goods is going on . Leaf men , how
ever, are more hopeful of better re-
sults after May i.
The Havana market shows an
improved condition. The idea that
Havana tobacco is likely to go
higher rather than become lower
seems to be generally accepted by
manufacturers, which fact has
aroused a greater eagerness to buy
early. Owing to our latest reports
from Havana regarding the new
remedios more interest is manifested
in old goods.

The "El Falcon^' Trademark
The Appellate Division of the N. Y.
Supreme Court Affirms Judg-
ment of the Trial Court.
The Appellate Division of the N.
Y. Supreme Court on April 25,
handed down a decision affirming
the judgment of the Trial Court in
the case of S. Falk's Sons & Co.
against The American West Indies
Trading Co. Justices Patterson,
O'Brien, McLaughlin and Laugh-
lin concur. Presiding Justice Van
Brunt dissents. Wise & Lichten-
stein appeared for the Falk firm,
and Isaac M. Aron appeared for the
American West-Indies Trading, Co.
The opinion of the court, which
was written by Justice Patterson, is
as follows:
The appeal in this action is from
a judgment entered at the Special
Term, by which the defendant, its
oflBcers, servants, attorneys and
agents, were enjoined and restrained
from using the title "El Falco," or
any name or title which would be
held to constitute an infringement
upon plantiffs' brand, trade mark
or title of "El Falcon" in connec-
tion with the manufacture or sale
of cigars within the United States;
and they were also enjoined from
branding, labeling or marking any
boxes or packages containing cigars
with the title "El Palco" or any
imitation of plaintiffs' trade mark,
title symbols, devices or accessories,
or from causing the same to be done;
and they were likewise enjoined
from using the word "Falco" alone
or in any combination in connec-
tion with the manufacture or sale
of cigars.
The evidence adduced at the trial
satisfactorily established the right
of the plaintiffs to the exclusive
use of the word "El Falcon" as a
trade mark. That arbitrary or
fanciful designation was adopted
by the predecessors of the plain-
tiffs in business some twenty years
ago, and has been in continuous
use by the plaintiffs and their pre-
decessors as manufacturers of cigars
from its adoption until the present
time. The proof shows that this
designation is used in connection
with a well-known and favorite
brand of domestic cigars and is of
great value to the plaintiffs. The
defendants, who are rival cigar
manufacturers, adopted and used
the word "El Falco" as a trade
mark designation and brand of
cigars manufactured by them at
Porto Rico.
The right of the plaintiffs is fully
established, and the testimony ad-
mits of no other conclusion than
that reached by the Justice at Special
Term, that the adoption by the
defendants of the word "El Falco"
was an obvious subterfuge. Gen-
erally speaking, it is not necessary,
in order to entitle the plaintiffs to
an injunction, that there should be
a fraudulent purpose on the part of
the defendants in adopting as a
trade mark words so closely resemb-
ling and imitating the plaintiffs'
trade mark. While there is not ex-
act identity, the similarity, as re-
marked by the court below, is very
striking, and it is obvious that the
mark adopted by the defendants is
calculated to deceive the public
and to lead them to the supposition
that the articles manufactured by
the defendants and sold under their
claimed trade mark are the goods
manufactured by the plaintiffs in-
stead of the defendants. The right
of the plaintiffs to protection is for
the arbitrary trade mark designa-
tion, and nothing else. In the ap-
peal papers appear a label used by
the plaintiffs and also labels used by
the defendants. There is no such
similarity between these labels as
would entitle the plaintiffs to en-
join the defendants from using the
particular labels omitting the words
"El Falco"; nor does the judgment
appealed from contain any such in-
junction . The j udgment is properly
limited to the prohibition of the use
of the words "El Falco", and to
nothing else.
The claim of the defendants that
the words "El Falco" is part of the
name of the defendants' manager
and was used by them with his per-
mission, and that their brand is
named after him, was evidently a
device by which it was sought to
evade responsibility for infringing
the plaintiffs' right. As the Justice
at Special Term very properly says
in his opinion: "The law will pro-
tect the right of a man to use his
name in his own business even if by
so doing he may injure another of
the same name; but in such cases it
must appear that the name was
honestly used, and the court will
permit no artifice or deceit designed
or calculated to mislead the public.
(Higgins Company vs. Higgins
Soap Company, 144 N. Y., 462.)"
That the alleged permission of the
defendants' manager to use his name
upon a brand of cigars is a mere de-
vice is proven by the fact that the
manager's name is Grcgorio Lopez;
that he was always known in Porto
RicoandCuba by the name of Lopez;
and although he swears that his
name is Gregorio Lopez y Falco, he
does not swear that he was known
by that full name, or otherwise thaa
as Gregorio Lopez.
The defendants claim that the

'^^^
It very often occurs tliat 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 ecjuipment of new
machinery only to tear it out and sell it as junk.
Wh\- do they do this?
Simpl\ because new inventions, new dis-
coveries make what was
considered all right
\esterday all wrong
today.
They do it because
tlieir success, their very
business existence, de-
pends upon keeping
abreast with the times,
at whatever cost, having
the most modern and
ellective machinery.
Now it is just the
same in the cigar making
business as it is with
any other. You cant
hope to compete with
your rivals, you cannot
expect to be prosperous
unless \"ou keep up-to-
date, unless you see that
vou 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 lour times as much as it does.
Thi' is true simply because this table solves
the problem r)f 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 — :i 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 toble?
It will prove all that
we claim for it, and if you
could see it in operation
\()U would agree at once
that to a cigar manu-
facturer it IS one of the
tirst necessities of life.
A full and detailed
description of the table
will enlighten you on many points which can-
not be covered in this advertisement.
We would be glad to 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.

judgment should be reversed for
an error in the exclusion of evidence.
They endeavored to show on the
cross-examination of one of the
plaintiffs that those plaintiffs did
not come into court with clean
hands, and that they were not en-
titled to relief because of an alleged
imposition upon the public by false
representations as to the character
and quality of the cigars manufac-
tured and sold by them. The de-
fendants claim that they were en-
titled to make that proof; that on
the pleadings as they stood, it was
an issuable fact. The plaintiffs
stated in their complaint that their
trade mark was used in 'connection
with a brand of cigars "of excellent
quality or material and superior
workmanship, and the cigars are
known as clear Havana cigars of
the highest grade manufactured in
the United States, being manufac-
tured at Key West in the State of
Florida, in plaintiffs' factory, by
skilled and txperienced workmen. ' '
This allegation of the complaint is
made in connection with the aver-
ment that the plaintiffs had adopted
and used the trade mark which they
claim. The contents of the para-
graph of the complaint in which
these allegations are contained is
denied, and the defendants now
contend that they were entitled, by
reason of the condition of the plead-
ings, to show that the cigars of the
plaintiffs known as the ' ' El Falcon ' '
brand were not a superior article or
excellent quality and material, and
not clear Havana cigars of the
highest grade manufactured in the
United Stated, and were not manu-
factured by skilled and experienced
workmen; or in other words, that
they were entitled to show that the
plaintiffs were misleading and de-
ceiving the public, and not manu- 1
facturing and selling such a brand
of cigars as they claimed.
The denial in the answer cannot
be construed as entitling the defend- |
ants to gire affirmative evidence as
to the inferiority of the plaintiffs'
goods, or as to false representations
concerning them which would mis-
lead the public. The only possible
effect of that denial would be to
put the plaintiff on proof of the al-
legation of the complaint in that be-
half. But that was an entirely
immaterial allegation, »o far as the
plaintiffs right to an injunction for
infringement of its trade mark j was
concerned and they were not re-
quired to prove it. That the Court
would refuse to protect the plaintiffs
if they were practicing a deceit
upon the public is a thoroughly
established rule in these cases. But
in order that a defendant may raise
the question, it must be pleaded,
unless the facts and circumstances
appearing in the case are such as
would authorize the court of its own
motion to take notice of fraud and
deceit on the part of the person
seeking its protection. That it is
necessary to plead the defence that
the plaintiffs deceived the public by
false representationsas tothearticles
manufactured and sold by them,
was dedided by this court in Fleisch-
man vs. Fleischman (7 App. Div.,
260), where it is said that it seems
hardly necessary to cite authorities
to establish the proposition that
where fraud or misrepresentation 01
the plaintiff is relied upon as a de-
fence to the enforcement of a legal
right, it must be pleaded and proved
upon the trial." That was an action
for the infringement of a trade mark .
There, the plaintiff upon the labels
of his merchandise had used the
word "Patented," and the trial
court dismissed the complaint on
the ground that by the use of that
word he had made a false representa-
tion to the public, — "applying the
principle that if theplaintiff is guilty
of any false or misleading representa-
tion in relation to the property he
seeks to protect, he loses the right
to obtain the assistance of a court of
equity." This court reversed the
judgment based upon that ground,
for the reason that such a defence
must be both pleaded and proven. '
The judgment should be affirmed , ,
with costs. j

Leaf Tobacco Markets.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
So far, this 21st ot April, we
have not heard of a single sale ot
tobacco, but hear of the delivery of
a few lots that were sold some little
time ago. As a rule packers buy at
this time to reduce the general
average cost of their packing.
Those parties who have sorted and
packed their crops, or are still en
gaged in the work, will sell later at
advanced prices. Indeed, the out
look never seemed as good as now
for good, substantial prices for their
crops. So we say to our growers
who hold their crops, don't be afraid
to ask a price adequate to the occa-
sion. The raising of shade-grown
leaf will only displace just so much
Sumatra imported leaf.sothegrower
need not hesitat« about tilling all
he cares to.
Our correspondents write :
Windsor, Ct.: "Clark Brothers,
who are among our largest growers,
have just delivered some ten tons
or more to the American Tobacco
Company. This company it seems
has dealt honorably with those of
whom they bought."
East Granby, Ct.: "The work
of preparing for shade growing
is being rushed along. All are
anxious to hear the result of the
sale of shaded leaf. The feeling
prevails that the Sumatran im-
I porters will do what they can to re-
Iducethe prices. The crop grown
outside of the tents it seems will be
I a full crop, with the prospect of an
I increased planting."
Conway: "We have had such
cloudy weather, cold and raw, that
I tobacco plants have not come all
right. A few warm days are needed .
About the same acreage is to be
raised this year as was last." |
Hinsdale, N. H.: "There are
several tobacco crops here not sold.
The indications are that there will
be about the usual acreage grown.
The beds are largely covered with
cloth. The crops not sold are being
sorted."
Suffield,Ct.: "The firm of Meyers
& Mendelsohn, of New York, closed
their packing and assorting houses
here last week. They have had
three here this season, and gave
employment to a large number of
men. They have put up about
2,000 cases. They hope to double
that number the coming year. "
North Hatfield: "Only three or
fcur lots of tobacco remain unsold
here, and these are assorted and
packed. At the warehouse of
Meyers & Mendelsohn, of New
York, the work is about finished
for the season. Report has it that
they have arranged with C. H.
Crafts to raise three acres of shade-
grown Sumatra, and that E. W.
Field & Son are negotiating for a
larger acreage."— Am, Cultivator.

however, before the assorting of his
cased goods will be finished. Many
of the growers have their plant beds
prepared, in some of which the
plants have already made their ap-
pearance — Gazette.
MIAMISBURG, OHIO.
But little business has been done
during the past week or two, which
condition of the market may be ac-
counted for in part, perhaps, by the
fact that some buyers are endeavor-
ing to profit by the lull in buying
through oflFers of lower prices than
had hitherto prevailed. In the face
of offers of 8 and 9c for Zimmer by
one set of buyers, however, come
well authenticated reports of sales
at II and 12c from the vicinity of
Alexandersville.
Some farmers report the appear-
ance of embryotic plants above the
surface of the beds, while others,
fearing the seeds had perished, have
made a second sowing. — News.
BDGERTON, WIS.
The buying movement is still
progressing in most of the growimg
sections where dealers are freely
riding and big slices are lopped off
each week from the unsold portions
of the crop. Good judges estimate
that not much more than a third of
the crop in Rock and Dane counties
remains in growers' hands. This
fraction, too, will soon be absorbed
if the present rate of buying con-
tinues.
The first sales of any consequence
of 1 90 1 packings have occurred
during the week when some 4,50008,
secured from three packers of Ver-
non county and Rio tobacco was
sold to the United Cigar Manufac-
turers Co. of New York. The
market for cured leaf does not ex-
hibit much improvement. Mcin-
tosh Bros, report the sale of 175CS
of 1900 for the week, a portion go-
ing to export.
The dry weather has made it
almost necessary for growers to
continually water their plant beds
to ensure anything like the usual
growth of thcyoungplants. Farmers
who neglect this work will suffer
later.

Breaks and offerings larger, with
more orders for all grades, yet the
tone of market was quite easy, re
suiting in heavy rejections and pri-
vate sales. The good tobaccos are
beginning to appear. Spinning
styles are selling very cheap — short
fat I^f 6X to 7c and Good Ken-
tucky cigar wrappers, smooth and
broad, 23 to 26 in., 7>^ to 9c — very
cheap. Fine Kentucky wrappers,
10 to lie. The quality and price
is enticing. Bulk of loose crop has
been delivered — very little coming
in now. Tobacco plants are small.
Transplanting will be full two weeks
late, even with seasonable weather.
Lugs have been larger bought
direct from dealers, and will not

Our receipts this week were 963 hhds.;
offerings on the breaks, 465 hhds; sale*
393 hhds.
The general run of quality was
not as good as last week. The
market opened at last week's prices,
but grew stronger. Sellers were
not satisfied with the market, and
rejected freely. The unsold stocks
increase in volume, and sales in
May and June promise to be large.
The weather has been summer-
like in the past few days. Planters
complain of plants being thin on
the beds and some resowing has
been done.

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Stamping Gigatcttcs.
In passing upon a package of
cigarettes bearing a stamp which
was concealed by the outer portion
of the package and not so afl&xed
as to be broken when the package
was opened, the Commissioner ruled
that the regulations require that a
stamp shall be canceled by the fac-
tory number and date of use being
plainly written or printed or
stamped thereon when it is not so
affixed as to securely seal the pack-
age; but that when the stamp is
aflBxed so as to seal the package the
regulations have been complied
with. Further, that no jacket
should be used that would conceal
the stamp; but where there is no
evidence that the manufacturer in-
tended to defraud the revenue, or
to escape the lawful taxes due on
the cigarettes (as they arc tax-paid
at the higher rate of $1 .08 per thou-
sand, and the jacket fits loosely on
the package so that it may be re-
moved withotit defacing the stamp),
the penalties provided by section
3456, Revised Statutes, were to be
suspended until the attention of the
manufacturer is called to the irreg-
ular manner in which he stamps
his packages.
Storage of Unstamped Tobacco.
A manufacturer who desired to
build a fire- proof warehouse, remote
from his factory, for the storage of
his unstamped manufactured pro-
ducts, was advised that the tax ac-

BY DIVERS HANDS
Chapter XIX. That Little Affair Between Mr, Pine Tree and the Sun Goddess,
Every little while, throughout
the livelong night, someone in the
next room in the native hotel at
Kobe would clean out his tiny
metal pipe by knocking out its con-
tents into the porbelain bowl by the
side of his bed and then light up for
a smoke of only one whiflf or so.
The rooms were divided from each
other only by paper partitions, so
that these almond- eyed human
wood- peckers really kept me awake
the whole night through, and in
the morning I was in no good
humor.
After breakfast, which restored
me somewhat, I asked the inter-
preter, a garrulous and versatile
fellow, why it was that his country-
mer smoked such diminutive pipes.
''Because the Sun Goddess has
so decreed," he answered, in the
most matter- of fact way.
•'The Sun Goddess?" I said.
*'What has the Sun Goddess to do
with it?"
"Everything," he responded.
*• Listen; many hundreds of years
ago, when tobacco smoking was
still new in Japan, there was a man,
a very devout and good man, named
Pine Tree. He was very obedient
to the gods and also a great lover
of tobacco. One time he went on
a pilgrimage to Fujiyama. He
went alone with only his pipe for
company. It was a big pipe; as
big as those usually smoked in
America or Europe, for such was ;
the fashion in Japan in his day. I
Now, the weather on the morning
Mr. Pine Tree started on his pil-
grimage up the sacred mountain
was uncommonly fine, and he was
hoping it would so continue, be-
cause then he would get to the
temple on the summit all the sooner.
He smoked as he climbed. Good-
ness, how he did smoke, and he
enjoyed every whiflf of it so much
that he was forgetting to say his i
prayers. Before noon, the weather I
changed. A chilling rain began to
fall. Mr. Pine Tree kept right on,
however, puflSng bigger clouds out
of his big pipe all the time, so as to
forget the weather. In a short
while the rain changed to a snow-
storm, and that to a blizzard, but
still Mr. Pine Tree smoked on. He
looked for shelter, but there was
none to be found. By this time he
had mounted above the zone of
vegetation and was in the snow
line. His pipe gave him his only
solace and he kept on smoking,
with his wet cold face turned to-
ward the mountain's top where the
gods dwell. He was beginning to
fancy that the blizzard wasn't as
bad as he thought it at first, when
a stream of red hot lava came rush-
ing down upon him, and the air
was full of live cinders. Being
nimble, he got out of the way of the

i were singed by the cinders that in- fore. \ First went his cloak, and then one

j "The next interruption to his say, no peace came to his soul. It 'of what avail is thy latest god
against me?'
" 'My latest god?' answered poor
Mr. Pine Tree, 'I comprehend not
thy meaning. Divine One. I have
no gods but those of my fathers. '
I " 'Nay,' responded the Sun God-
dess. 'We, the ancient gods are
forgotten for that new god to whom
thou has burned incense these many
days, and even on thy journey
hither,' and she caused Mr. Pine
Tree to understand that she was
referring to his fondness for tobacco,
at that time, as I have said, a new
thing in Japan. It was first brought

moderation was, and that it was
highly oflfensive, too.

the distressed mortal. 'They sell

Robert Burns Petit Dues.
The busiest factory in New York
city, in this present year of grace,
is probably that of the United Cigar
Manufacturers, and yet it is not too
busy to give the public a new size
of its famous Robert Burns cigar.
This cigar is styled Petit Dues, and
is being distributed by Geo. L
Storm & Co., of New York city.
The cut herewith printed is a cor-
rect representation of the Robert
Burns Petit Dues.
This is a little cigar of as high
quality as its famous big brother.
The Petit Dues go to the consumer
in packets of ten, retailing at fifteen
cents. There are two sections to
each packet, each section contain-
ing five cigars.
The reception which the public
has given to the Petit Dues has been
most cordial, and is but an earnest
of the long life that is before the
brand.
May Day in New York.
There were more removals in the
New York cigar and leaf tobacco
worlds on May i this year, than for
a number of years before.
The E. H. Gato Cigar Co. has
transferred its New York city head-
quarters to 38 Beaver street. |
S. Falk's Sons are now installed ,
at 5 Burling Slip. |
Charles R. Goldsmith & Co., leaf j
merthants, have taken possession
of 166 Front street.
A. Arens is now at 178^ Water
street.
John B. Day and L. Spear are at
214 Petri street.
J. Bernheim & Son are comforta-
bly installed at 138 Maiden Lane.
M. Ertheiler & Son, leaf brokers,
and Jos. Sinsheimer & Sons, leaf
dealers, remove from 139 Maiden
Lane to 172 Water street.
Jno. W. Merriam & Co., the
' ' Roycroft Segar Shop, ' ' have taken
possession of the entire building at
139 Maiden Lane. The firm will
have its offices on the ground floor
and will utilize the upper floors as
a cigar factory in connection with
the premises in the building on
Maiden Lane adjoining its new
headquarters.
M. Newberger & Co., have re
moved from 172 Water street to 131
Water street.
Candido Ladrero & Co., manu-
facturers of clear Havana cigars,
are installed in the building at the
northeast corner of Pearl street and
Maiden Lane. This is the firm with
which Morris Prochaska, Mr.
"Pro," is associated.
Kutinsky & Adler, leaf dealers,
have removed from Houston street
to 226 Pearl street.

Investors are taking an increas-
ing interest in the bonds of the
Consolidated Tobacco Company.
A Wall street bulletin, on April 28,
called attention to the fact that for
the fiscal year ended December 31,
1901, the American Tobacco Com-
pany had a balance applicable to
dividends on the common stock, or
to the treasury of the Consolidated
Tobacco Company, of $5,346,224,
and the Continental Tobacco Com-
pany of $4,181,618, a total of S9,-
527,842. The report of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company did not in-
clude $1,500,000 of undivided net
earnings for the year of the com-
panies in which it is interested, and
the Continental Tobacco Company
had due it $500,000 from the same
source. Adding this $2,000,000 to
the amount given above, applicable
to the treasury of the Consolidated
Tobacco Company, there would be
a total of $11,527,842 that might
be thus applied. One year's inter-
est on the $157,844,600 Consoli-
dated Tobacco 4s, amounts to $6,-
31^,784. Deducting this amount
there would be left a balance of
$5,214,058.
Hence it is that the investment
demand for the outstanding pre-
ferred shares of the American and
Continental Companies continues,
and is extending itself also to the
Consolidated bonds. Incidentally,
it is pointed out that the position
of these stocks and bonds will be
appreciably bettered when the to-
bacco tax under the war revenue
law (whose repeal becomes opera-
tive in a few weeks) is removed.

THE MEDICINE MAN
HA.RKEN, Pale Faces!
I am the Medicine Man of whom
the books are full. I am the first
of the slaves of the creature we call
tobacco, and you shall be my
auditors
I have come back from the land
of shadows to survey what were
once the earthly hunting grounds
of my people. Whatever pertains
to tobacco pertains to me, and The
Tobacco World shall be my bulletin.
In its columns I shall discourse to
you, in a spirit informed with good
sense and animated by good will
towards all among you, on such
topics as shall from time to time ap-
pear to me to be timely and perti-
nent.
The United States has been called
one vast university. The teachers
of its people are the newspapers,
and in this university I shall oc-
cupy the Chair of Tobacco.
I invite you to address me on any
subject concerned with tobacco and
I shall thereupon endeavor to make
your communication, whatsoever it
may be, the theme of a discourse
whose aim shall be to interest not
only one but all of you.
Address all such letters thus:

The Manufacture of
Cigars in Bond.
Havana, April ao, 1902.
Dbar Medicine Man:
Sitting here in my room in the
Inglaterra, in a sanitarily new Hav-
ana, as different as possible from the
dangerously insanitary old Havana
that I used to know, and reading an
English paper printed right here in
the ci*y, I fall to dreaming of many
things. First and chiefest, as a
careless Elizabethan writer might
say, is not what is going to become
of Cuba after Estrada Palma be-
comes President of the Republic one
month from to-day, but rather what
is to become of the tobacco market
here? Will Havana continue to be
the market for Cuban tobacco, or
will this market be transferred to
New York?
For the fifty years which ended
with the evacuation of Cuba by the
place- holders of Spain, Havana
sold its own tobacco, and this
system has continued up to now.
But is there any reason why it
should contine indefinitely? Would
it not be better if the market for
Havana tobacco were transferred to
New York? I think it would, and I
am not alone in so thinking.
There has been talk ever since
the McKinley year of admitting
Cuban tobacco into the United
States free of duty. The farmer
politicians of New England went
on record in 1890, 1 think, as favor-
ing some such measure. At least,
I seem to recall that they declared
themselves in favor of admitting
Cuban tobacco at a low uniform
rate of duty. The only reason for
the present duties on Cuban tobacco
is the impossibility of admitting
that tobacco at a low duty while
maintaining an almost prohibitive
duty on tobaccos grown in the East
Indian colonies belonging to Hol-
land, a friendly nation entitled to
as much consideration as any other.
The experience of the past twelve
years, under the high duties on to-
bacco which have prevailed since
the McKinley year, seems to make
clear the fact that the rich, and
particularly the very rich, prosper
under this tariff system while
struggling men of small capital have
an exceedingly hard row to hoe.
Well, it seems to me, for one at least,
that the rich in our trade are already
rich enough. I am not an anarchist,
and I don't want to pull down any
person or any institution, but I
should like to see tried the scheme
of admitting tobacco into the United
States entirely free of duty.
Will you, dear Mr. Medicine
Man, kindly give me your views on
this matter? C. L.
The Answer,
Dreams, dear boy, dreams. It
would, no doubt, redound to the
profit and the glory of New York
were New York to become the
market for the tobaccos grown in
Cuba, but it must not be forgotten
that free trade in tobacco would
mean free trade in cigars, too, and
were the cigars of Cuba admitted
into the United States free of duty,
the inevitable effect would be dis-
astrous to the cigar industry of the
United States, Under even the
most favorable reciprocal arrange-
ment between the United States
and Cuba, the cigars of Cuba would
be entitled to the same consideration
as the tobacco* of Cuba; so that,
altogether, it seems unlikely that
the market for Cuban tobaccos will
ever be transferred from Havana to
New York.
But it is a different story as to
the tobaccos and cigars of the Phil-
ippines. A vast deal of serviceable
cigar leaf is grown in the Philip-
pines, and they manufacture in
Manila enormous quantities of very
acceptable cigars. It is entirely
probable that within a very few
years New York may become the
central market for the distribution
of the tobaccos and cigars of the
Philippine Islands.
Europe is already a great con- Under the McKinley duties the

their supplies to the nearer market
of New York.
And this brings me to the logical

Fourth Annual Convention.
The Fourth Annual Convention
of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco
Association, which was held at
Cincinnati this week has proven a
most interesting event. It has been
a reiteration of the more friendly
relations which exist among mem-
bers of the entire trade, and it has
alio shown that the Association has
been infinitely beneficial to the
whole trade in an indirect way. {
As regards one of the moment- \
ous questions — a remedy of the |
present dock weight system — only 1
indefinite results have as yet been i
accomplished, yet the progress I
which has been made in that direc- 1
tion is encouraging, in view of the
almost insurmountable barriers
which at one time appeared.
Many and various theories have
been discussed this week and a new
course of procedure outlined, which
it is to be hoped may be signally
successful.
A years 's conscientious work by
the officers of the association has
been reviewed and approved, not-
withstanding the criticisms which
have been made in some quarters.
It is always more easy to criticise
thaa to create an improvement, and
without doubt the convention has
been voted a success, it having at- !
tained its designs to a remarkably
good degree.
President Young's able address
(which appears elsewhere,) was a !
resume of what had been attempted
and accomplished during the past
year, and also of the chief objects
at which the Association would
probably aim during the ensuing
year. It was both ample and lucid.
The energetic debates which have
resulted should be regarded with
all friendliness, as this is the only
manner in which could be brought
out the true inwardness of the rep- i
resentatives there present. Con-
ventions are held for the purpose
of freely presenting the views of the
members, and thereby attaining

Til J5 MEDICINE MAN
Harken, Pale Faces!
I am the Medicine Man of whom
the books are full. I am the first
of the slaves of the creature we call
tobacco, and you shall be my
auditors
I have come back from the land
of shadows to survey what were
once the earthly hunting grounds
of my people. Whatever pertains
to tobacco pertains to me, and The
Tobacco World shall be my bulletin.
In its columns I shall discourse to
you, in a spirit informed with good
sense and animated by good will
towards all among you, on such
topics as shall from time to time ap-
pear to me to be timely and perti-
nent.
The United States has been called
one vast university. The teachers
of its people are the newsp.ipers,
and in this university I shall oc-
cupy the Chair of Tobacco.
I invite you to address me on any
subject concerned with tobacco and
I shall thereupon endeavor to make
your communication, whatsoever it
may be, the theme of a discourse
whose aim shall be to interest not
only one but all of you.
Address all such letters thus:
"The Medicine Man, Bureau of The
Tobacco World, ii Burling Slip,

No attention will be paid to anon-
ymous communications.

Ha\ ANA, April ao, 1902.
Dbar Medicink Man:
Sitting here in my room in the
Inglaterra, in a sanitarily new Hav-
ana, as different as possible from the
dangerously insanitary old Havana
that I used to know, and reading an
English paper printed right here in
the ci*^y, I fall to dreaming of many
things. First and chiefest, as a
careless Elizabethan writer might
say, is not what is going to become
of Cuba after Estrada Palma be-
comes President of the Republic one
month from to-day, but rather what
is to become of the tobacco market
here? Will Havana continue to be :
the market for Cuban tobacco, or
will this market be transferred to I
New York? I
For the fifty years which ended |
with the evacuation of Cuba by the
placeholders of Spain, Havana I
sold its own tobacco, and this
system has continued up to now.
But is there any reason why it
should contine indefinitely? Would
it not be better if the market for
Havana tobacco were transferred to
New York? I think it would, and I
am not alone in so thinking.
There has been talk ever since
the McKinley year of admitting
Cuban tobacco into the United
States free of duty. The farmer
politicians of New England went
on record in 1890, 1 think, as favor-
i ing some such measure. At least,
I seem to recall that they declared
themselves in favor of admitting
Cuban tobacco at a low uniform
rate of duty. The only reason for
the present duties on Cuban tobacco
is the impossibility of admitting
that tobacco at a low duty while
maintaining an almost prohibitive
duty on tobaccos grown in the East
Indian colonies belonging to Hol-
land, a friendly nation entitled to
as much consideration as any other.
The experience of the past twelve
years, under the high duties on to-
bacco which have prevailed since
the McKinley year, seems to make
clear the fact that the rich, and
particularly the very rich, prosper
under this tariff system while
struggling men of small capital have
an exceedingly hard row to hoe.
Well, it seems to me, for one at least,
that the rich in our trade are already
rich enough. I am not an anarchist,
and I don't want to pull down any
person or any institution, but I
should like to see tried the scheme
of admitting tobacco into the United
States entirely free of duty.
Will you, dear Mr. Medicine
Man, kindly give me your views on
this matter? C. L.
The Answer.
Dreams, dear boy, dreams. It
would, no doubt, redound to the
profit and the glory of New York
were New York to become the
market for the tobaccos grown in
Cuba, but it must not be forgotten
that free trade in tobacco would
mean free trade in cigars, too, and
were the cigars of Cuba admitted
into the United States free of duty,
the inevitable effect would be dis-
astrous to the cigar industry of the
United States. Under even the
most favorable reciprocal arrange-
ment between the United States
and Cuba, the cigars of Cuba would
be entitled to the same consideration
as the tobaccos of Cuba; so that,
altogether, it seems unlikely that
the market for Cuban tobaccos will
ever be transferred from Havana to
New York.
But it is a different story as to
the tobaccos and cigars of the Phil-
ippines. A vast deal of serviceable
cigar leaf is grown in the Philip-
pines, and they manufacture in
Manila enormous quantities of very
acceptable cigars. It is entirely
probable that within a very few
years New York may become the
central market for the distribution
of the tobaccos and cigars of the
Philippine Islands.
Europe is already a great con-
sumer of Manila cigars. China and
the Orient, which Manila has al-
ways supplied with cigars, will no
doubt continue to get these direct
from Manila, but Germany, Eng-
land, Spain, in each of which coun-
tries Manila cigars are popular,
would naturally prefer to come for
their supplies to the nearer market
of New York.
I And this brings me to the logical
conclusion of these remarks: Is
there at Washington no statesman
suflficiently well informed, suffici-
ently patriotic, to take in hand the
drafting of a bill, a practicable
measure, I mean, to provide for the
manufacture of cigars in bond in the
United States for export?
The Administrative Act, passed
simultaneously with the McKinley
tariff bill of 1890, it is true, pro-
vided for the manufacture of cigars
in bond, but the provisions of the
McKinley Administrative Act are
so impracticable that nothing has
ever been done under them. What
is needed is an act that will make
the manufacture of cigars in bond
I easy. Such an industry as this
was the life dream of the late M.
Stachelberg, and has also aroused
the ambUjpps zeal of Eugene
Vallens, $0d of a number of other
broad-minded American cigar man-
ufacturers. We may safely leave
Cuba alone and out of the question
as a possible competitor, because
Cuba, for various reasons of size
and climate, could never manufac-
ture all the cigars that the world
would need, but the United States
can. There is plenty of trained la-
bor in the United States, far better
labor than Europe can boast, and
I say this with full knowledge of
, the skill of the cigarmakers of
Germany and Bohemia, and if only
the United States could count u^on
a system of legislation which should
I facilitate the manufacture of cigars
j in bond, this country could manu-
i facture all the cigars that its own
I people, and all the cigar smoking
I people of the world, could demand.
This is work for the immediate
i
i future. Arouse you from your
dreaming ! Leave the very rich, to
whom you have referred, alone; be-
lieve me, they have troubles enough
I of their own. In every civilized
! country in the world there will al-
' ways be some who are very rich ;
: and some who are very poor. The I
; truly prosperous countries'are those
in which there is an ambitious, in-
dependent middle class.
Free t^'ade in tobacco would not
spell ruin to the very rich, and
would not result in greater oppor-
tunities to the very poor. Neither,
as I conceive it, would it be of
startling benefit to the middle class.
Under the McKinley duties the
middle class has not suffered un-
duly.
If you want to help the tobacco
interests of the United States, set
your Congressman to work upon a
bill that shall provide for the man-
ufacture of cigars in bond for ex-
port. The Medicine Man.

Man's Point of View.

SOUTH DAKOTA.
The picturesque old Deadwood
coach has disappeared, but during
the days when it was busy it de-
posited enough people to make of
South Dakota a progressive as well
as a prosperous state.
South Dakota is the next-door
neighbor, to the north, of Nebraska.
Like the Nebraskans the South
Dakotans are a sane, wholesome
and enterprising people. They are
not so numerous or so rich as the
people of Nebraska, but the popu-
lation is increasing satisfactorily all
; the time and the ratio of wealth is
I keeping pace with it. Time was,
i and that within the memory of liv-
: ing men, when what is now South
i Dakota was a waste, a howling
wilderness; that was before the dis-
covery of mineral wealth in the
Black Hills, and before agricultur-
: ists dreamed of the vast fields of
; grain which now cover the plains
jof the state. In those dead and
gone, yet quite recent days, the
man who chewed tobacco and the
man who smoked a pipe were much
in evidence at Deadwood and there-
abouts. In the mines of the Black
Hills, tobacco chewers and pipe
smokers are still numerous, but in
the cities and on the farms of the
state the consumption of cigars
grows steadily from year to year,
and the jobbing and retail interests
are increasingly prosperous.

NORTH DAKOTA.
In almost every respect from
which she can be regarded by the
cigar man. North Dakota is almost
a duplicate of her sister state directly
to the south. Her people are wide-
awake and amiable, and a number
of well-known brands of cigars of
Eastern manufacture are freely ad-
vertised in the newspapers of the
state.
Fargo and Grand Forks are the
centers of the cigar jobbing Interest
The leading jobbers at Fargo are
John Thorne, Morris & Grady

that the general cry is that business
is dull, yet it is also true, happily,
that the enterprising houses are all

and that the salesmen now on the

IN THE LEAF CIRCLES.
George Bremer, of Bremer Bros.
& Boehm, attended the sale of the
Connecticut shade grown Sumatra,
held at Hartford, Conn., last week.
He purchased a considerable quan-
tity of the tobacco, samples of which
have already been received. The
prices ranged — 75 cents for dark
wrappers, $1 to $1 60 for medium,
and $r. 60 to $2 80 for light wrappers.
Mr. Bremer considers their purchase
a fine lot, and predicts a great future
for this style of leaf, as it is of a fine
texture, and, it is believed, will roll
more cigars to the pound than the
foreign grown leaf.
Max Bamberger, of L. Bamberger

sale of the Connecticut shade-grown
Sumatra at Hartford.

feeling of much delight and there is
already promise of much enthusiasm,
and some profitable discussions on
matters concerning the trade's in-
terests are likely to result.
Delegates and other visitors have
been made most welcome by the
Entertainment Committee of the
Local Board. Secretary Staun and
his colleagues deserve much praise
for their energetic work and the
effectiveness of the results. The
hospitality which has been extended
by the members of the trade in the
several cities in which the previous
annual meetings have been held, has
been more than repeated by the Cin-

Monday Morning Session.
After President Young had called
the meeting to order, about 10.30 a.
m, an address of welcome to the
! delegates was made by Louis New
ib^rg, on behalf of the Cincinnati
i Local Board. He spoke briefly, but
sincerely, saying in part, that at all
places of the previous meetings of
the National Association the dele
gates had been given the freedom of
the city and the keys thereto, but
[ those keys, said he, were mythical,
while those which he had been dele- 1
gated to present were more real, i.
e., Whis keys. This assertion was,
received with hearty applause. '
Owing to the fact that the minutes
of the previous annual meeting had
been fully printed and a copy sent
to each member, the reading of
these minutes was dispensed with.
John Oberhelman was then,
elected Secretary of the meeting.
President Young delivered his'

The Ways and Means Committee was
especially impressed with these repre-

aiuoujj; th<ise to he rei)ealed. even befo>-e
the ciuuuiittee decided upcui the ueiier.il
plan of wipiug out all of the war rev-
enue taxes.
The Ways and Means <'oiuiuittee was
also advised of the aniioyin;.' iharacler
of the special tjixes on de.ilers in leaf
tobacco, and the numerous conirover-
.sies which were const.antlv .arising; be-
tween inteniiil revenue collectors in ^;ll-
ioiis districts as the result of the oilt-
ra^i'ous lan>:ua;:e of the Law. which was
freqiieutly construed to re(|uire the pav-
inent of s|K'<ial taxes and keeping of
i'omplete set <d' books .at every w.-ire-
hoiise. whether buyin;.' :ind selliiii.' were
<;irried on there or not. The trade is

trade after .luly 1 next will bi- relieved
from juiy further annoyance or embar-
rassment on this score.
In my Last annual .address .-it the con-
vention in New York. I c.illed >oiir spe-
<-i.il attention to the f.ici that at the iiest.
the present, session of ('on;;ress it was
almost certain tli.at some clianire wmild
be m.lde ill the existing' tariff on lolmccu
importetl into this country from rnb.i.
Diiil .asked that the convention care-
fully and fully consider the i|iiestion and
so instruct the Leirisljitive <*oiiimittee
as to enable them to a<t with the .111-
tliority and by the dir«>etion of this .\--
socintioii.
The «|Uestion was referred to ihet'oui-
luitlee on Kesolutions. and they, after .1
full .and careful discussion. di'<ided to
rei»ort the followiim: resolution, viz.:
'•IJesolved. Th.at the Le;;isl.itive Toni-
niittee be instructed to opjiose any .ami all
tariff ley;islation on the jcirt of ('on;:ress
other tlian th.at referrin;: to .-i -pccial 1
uniform rate of duty." |
This resolution w.i< written by me in
the committee room and was presented to
the convention, where it was ablv and
fully discussed and tinally .adopted.
The instructions cont.ained in this reso-
lution are plain and exidicit. .and your
executive claims and lirmly believes tli.it
he has carried out not only the spirit
luit the letter of your instructions, al-
though his actions ami words have lieen
very severely critiiised. and doulitless
niaii.v have been led to believe that the
criticism has Iiimmi just, simply liecause
I have not replied in a public way to
the uie.aii. conteiiipible and scurrilous at-
t.aiks which h.ive iieeii iii.ide on nie by
a certain trade p.aper. .My reasons for
not doiny: so .were, first, because I did
not think them worthy of any other
treatment; seccunl. beciiuse this is the
oid.v place where, .and you the only men
to whom, any public st.iteinent should lie
m.lde: .and. if .after you h.ive heard my
statement there is any man present who
desires to specifically <harue tli.it I have
acted contr.iry to your iiist nut ions, then
1 will defend iii.v actions and wmds. le.i \ -
ini: it to the jjood sense of the convention
to decide the question at isslle. and
fihoiild it be your decision tli.it I h.ive
disobeyed your instructions, then, and
only then, will 1 admit the justness
of the (riticism and abusi- to which I
have been subjected.
The <|Uestioii of reciprocity with rub.i
had been discussed by the llewsp.lpers of
all sections of the country, but it was
not until the (|uestion w.as presented to
Conjrress by the I'resident in his iii—i-
mxtiv that it .assumed otiici.il or taii;;ible
shape; the tenor of the mess.ajje yoii all
know. Immediately after the rresi-
dent's tness.ige had been sent to Coa-
gress I sent to every ineinber of the |
trade in the I'liited States a wrled uf ;
qtiestioiis. as follows: '
Hhall we oppose all tarifl" le>fislrttiou by
Coiiirress .at this session*'
Sli.iil we favor or op|M>«ie « re«_Iuctlon
of the iluties oil Cuban tobaccos?
Shall we favor or oppose a reduetioM
of the duties mi Cub.-in inliaii.i> if tiie
.<ame bill piuvides also f..r :i rcduciinn
in the duties on cit;.i!s'.'
Will .1 reduction in the duties on Cuban
tobacco ;iiid ciy:;irs be belieticial l<> our
interests".'
Voii will notice that .ill the t|Uesiion<
were so worded as to secure .1 plain
and «'Xplicii statement of opinion, .md
not an indorsement of either the opin-
ion of the l.ey;isl.ative <'ommittee or of
my own. My object in sendiii}? these
out was to ascertain just what w.is the
iiidividu.il opinion ..f the tr.ide. .and the
answers received were surprising; in their
unanimity, lor with very few execu-
tions the o|iinion was "Oppose .all tariff
let;isl;ilion :il this session." This simiily
continued the .action cd' the New Vorii
Convention, iind showed that the del--
irates had correctly voiced the opiui(nis
of their con^titiieiits; therefore your ex-
ecutive decided to .ici promptly Ipv r. -
qnestilli: the sevenil loc.il boards to hold
nieetiiiirs and inotesi to'Cuiimcs^ .■ii;.iinst

Tliis wiis the pr«(p«»sitioii wf iuid to
iiifct. ami «'vcry man pn-sciit rocoyr-
iiizcd the y:ravit.v of the siliiatinii. Uiiow-
\\\\i full \v<'ll that the only way to prt-
veiil disaster to mir entire industry was
to I'liinliiiie a;:ainsl any rodnction what-
ever, usiny; every arynment possiide to
secure that end. To have advocated at
this iiearinu any other conrse tlian that
the pres«'iii rates ol" dnty shouhl lie con-
tinued, would have lieen s\iicidal. and it
certainly wonid have lieeii most inop-
portune to have ailvocaied a nniCorm
late of didy; tirsl. Iiecansc it would not
have been jrranted: second, because such
a re(|uest wouhl have been interpreted
by the comnnttce as indicating the wil-
linj^ness of the trade that riHluctions
should be inaile: and third, the commit-
tee would have been imjUM'ssed with tlie
fact that the tobacco trade was m>t in
line with the beet su^ar tr.ide. but favor-
ed the (general principle of reciprocity sis
.•ipplied to Cuba. You should all umler-
stanil. and 1 desire here to impr'ess this
fact on your nnmls with all the strenj;tii
and power that I am capable of, tliat in
• tpposinu measures in ('<tnirress it is nec-
essary to present a united front, to iirye
a simple, definite and specific proposi-
tion, and not to cloud the issue by su^'-
tfestinj; alternatives. 'i"o beat a bill you
must nu'cl it witii emphatic, xmcen-
traled. direct ttpposition. :ind not by
proposing substitute measures wliicii
ie.ive ymir position in douiit and wejiken
the force of all your ar>;unients. There
was not at the tinu' of the hearing;, nor
is there now any possibility of securin;:
a uniform duty, nor of securing any dif-
ferent rate of reduction on leaf tobacco
than on cigars, therefore in this htrht
the whole trade must stand or fall to-
gether, followinj; tlu' e.xample of tin- beet
snu.ir men who are entitled to whatever
creilit attaches to the present position of
the bill.
It seems to nie that in the discussion
ol this ipiestioii liy .ill of our trade pa-
|ier.>< :ind .also by many of the members
of our Association, that the most iin-
poiianl p.irt of the question is either en-
tirely overlooked, or is so chunied Ity ir-
relevant discusr*ion as to be lost si^jii of.
yet it is the only questiou really at is-
sue, the one to which we rmist «ive our
undivided attention .ind so act at this
convention as to pievent disaster to our
entile industiy.
The prosperity of the imjiorters, pack-
ers, and tiealers in leaf tidtaceu, as well
as that of the growers, depends entirely
on one branch of our industry, the cI^mV
manuf.-ictuier: therefore, .-iny leKisiaiion
ininncal to his interests or which in any
\\:\\ r«tards or restricts his business im-
mediately reaiis on .all ihe rest, and it is
simply self protection that should impel
IIH to rippose it.
.Now what are tlu- facts, 'i'he orininal
petition pr«'sent«'d liy tin- Cubans, .-is I
liave air ly staled, nsked for a Imri-
zontal retluction on Cuban tobacco and
its manufaciuies of .'tO per cent.; it did
not ask for this reduction 4)ii tobacco
alone: it is not .i l.-iiiier market for their
raw malerini that the Cuban so earnest-
ly desires, for we now take the greater
propiution of what they «row. Iiut tiny
also asked for a reduction of .'»(» per cent,
in Ihe duties im ci;,'iirs. and that is wliat
\\\\^ most desired, for if iln-y succeeded
in securinu the reduction, tlie markets
of the I'nited States would be open to
till- <'uban manufacturer for .nil tirad«'s
of :;oods above the niikel ciy.ir. and the
American manufacturer would be reduc-
ed to the conditi(ui of Ids Kuro|tean
brethren. Were thi>4 an aeeonii)lislied
fact what would become <if the importer
and dealer in llavann tob.acco. for the
manufacturer of nickel ciirars is not his
ciistonier. nor would they Ite. except to
a liiidted extent, even with the reduction
on th»' raw material to IT'-jc. .\re the
members of our .\ssociation so. anxious
for a reduction in the duties on Havana
tobacco jis to foruet that, if they should
secure it. tln-y would at the same tinu>
lose the customer to whom they desire
•ind exoecl to sell their tobaccoV 'I'hi"'
vo\i must all admit would be the result
if any bill is passed at this session.
I do not believe there is a sinjrle man
present who desires a reduction in the
rates of duty on cijrars. :ind it is waste
of time to discuss that, but if anytliimr
is done in Coii^'iess at all at this session
it will umiuestionably brinir that result.
Many (d" us recoynizt>d this fact lonir
a;.'o. tln»se who weie in Washiny:ton
knew it. and now every thiidciny: man
must acknowledsre it. not oidy because
the Cubans desire it, but for other and
stronger ri-asons.
The Ways nnd Means leaders recogniz-
ed at tile very outset that shmtld they
d«'<'ide to report a reciprocity bill it
woidd lie essential that it should follow
closely the provisions of the Dinyrh'y
Alt. that it should be drawn in the
simplest form, and especially that it
slnuiid juovide the same reduction upon
iill articles. The necessity for care in
this reiirard has been tremendously em-
phasized since the bill wns prep.-ired. but
it was well umleislood b\' the ctunmittee
leaders at the outset. Had tlu'y made
their bill any other way than as the.v
have, a liorizontal redinlion on all uoods
imported from Cuba, would it not have
been objected to by most of the Hepubli-
e.in mendiers of the House <mi the
KriMiutl that it would tend to a ueiieral
revision of the taritT. and wiiuld not
such a bill be open to ainemlmeid on
the ;.'i'ouml tli.at it w:is :i bill reviving;
the tariff and not simply a bill for reci-
procil.x ■.'
If the bill had been so dr.Mwn. or is so
chan;:ed by the Senate, as to specify re-
ductions on items, rather than horizontal
reduction on the entire output of the
island, it is the belief of the best t>arli.i-
mentarians in W.isiiinuton that it would
be subject to taiilT amendments of all
kinds, not only as to articles coiidnu from
Cuba, but as to the commerce of the
world, and hem-e eoidd not pass the
Hmise. In this conntctiou Kepre.senta-
tive (Jrow. of I'ennsylvania. the eldest
member of the House, and at <uie time
its Speaker, (dijected to the amendment
striking out the ilitTereiit iai duty on su-
yar. on the side irround that "the bill
before us says nothin;; about su«ar, the
word is not in it. If that is in order,
then an .-imendment to reyuliite the tar-
iff on tobacco coinim; from any country
woidd Im> in order, ami so on every arti-
cle thill miuht be imported into tiiis
(iiuntry." \\\\\ whether su< h anu'inl-
ments Would ha'e bm'n held to be ger-
mane or not. the House leaders re«'oj;-
nized n\ the outset that they must sterr
dear of any jiossible controversy on this
point by oinitliim all mention of com-
modities. :ind by apj lyiny a horizontal
reduction. 'Ihe rulini: m Chairiniiii Sher-
man auaiiist the iimendnient noted
:ibove is directly in line with this con-
tention, iind shows why the Coiiimittee
decided to avoid any possible embarrass-
ment by brimriii}.' in a reciprocity bill and
not a tarifl' bill, and if anythinu is done
iit this session yon c;in depend upon it
that is wliat vmi will uet : tlierefore. tak-
inu this view of it. what is our dnty to
ourselves at tliis time? .My answer is,
adopt .M stroll': iiiid ein|ihatic resolution!
protestiuK in plain and explicit terms
auainst Jiiiy redmtion in the present
rates, on the sole v'roiind that such re-
duction would destroy the prottM-tion
needed bv the ciyar manufacturer on his
hiv'h-yrade uoods. and hence would lie
inimical to the interests of the entire
industry.
When the time tomes for a ;;eiieral re-
vision of the t.iritT. ;ind I fully believe
tliat the i\uy is not f.-ir distant when it
will be done by a Kepublican Ci)ii;:res.s.
this As-iociation v'll by its sfrenuth and
inrtuence be in a position to ask for and
obtiiin wliat the majority of our mem-
liers so much desire, viz: .\ s])eeif1c uni-
form rate of duty mi all tobacco, hut that
it can be obtained now is ;ibsolutely
impossible. .Mild the agitation of such a
project at this time is. in my opininn. not
only very unwise, but also damreroiis to
our interests, and can only result in iis-
sistinj: those who are endeavorin;: by
every means in their power to undermine
and destroy the most lucrative portion of
tile I iuar m.iniif.'icturers* iind leaf deal-

THIS MEANS
m j2i YOU 0 0
You undoubtedly consider yourself a pro-
fijressive and enterprising cigar manufacturer and
as such we direct this advertisement directly
at your head.
We have been telling you considerable
about the OuBrul 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 mean econo-
my of both time and
expense.
In no oilier way in
the world can you 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 you that they
are true.
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
and leaving it with us to prove our case to you.
Don't you think you had better do that today?
if we can't do any better by you, we also
stand ready to sell you the recognized best
Die table in the business.
Ask for booklet w. S. , when writing to us.

Cigar Factories Busy.
The factories of Hija de Cabanas

Bock & Co. syndicate, and others
»re all exceedingly busy and are
behind hand with orders. Such is
also the case at the Sol factory of
Charley Blasco, of "Reina del
Prado" and "Vitadia" fame.
The New Crop.
The new crop is beginning to
make its appearance in Havana, and
a great many escojidas are already
working in the Vuelta Abajo and
Partidos districts. Among those
•who are thus busy are the houses of
Sobrinos de Antero Gonzalez,
Campano, Garcia & Co., Gustav

and others, and large arrivals of
leaf are accordingly expected in
Havana during May.
The tobacco still in the fields is
blossoming and will be fit only for
seed.
The Reciprocity Fizzle.
Reciprocity with the United
States, at least so far as the tobacco
interest is concerned, appears to
have fizzled out in the U. S. Senate,
and in consequence, the annexation
sentiment is growing here. How-
ever, the approaching installation
of the first, and perhaps the last,
President of the Cuban Republic, is
momentarily diverting attention
from the graver problems to be
solved later on.

Latest News from York, Pa.
It is reported that one of the days
during the week past was the best
in respect of reciepts at the internal
revenue oflBce here, since the reduc-
tion in stamp price one year ago.
Inquiry at the office elicited the
information that a great many of
the stamps are sent to sections in
and around Hanover, and the
vicinity of Strinestown. The total
receipts for the month were $92,-
650.04.
John Zech, of York, left on Tues-
day morning for points in Iowa and
Nebraska, carrying with him a full
line of cigar samples. He will sell
exclusively for the Porto Rico Ci-
gar Co , of Red Lion, and W. H.
Raab & Son, of Dallastown. It is
an undisputed fact that salesmen
are more profitable than brokers.
A pleasure resort, situated on the
line of the new trolley below Red
Lion, will be opened by Daniel
Spangler, the cigar manufacturer
of Red Lion, in June.
About the busiest place in Dal
lastown at the present time is the
factory of E. Sechrist. Mr. Sechrist
attributes his success to his fairness
to the trade and good value for the
money asked, as well as his untir-
ing personal energy.
Charles Melhorn, the leaf and
cigar dealer of Hanover, announced
recently that he disposed of about
6,000,000 cigars during last year,
in addition to selling about 300,000
pounds of tobacco. One unac-
quainted with the amount of labor
and trouble attending this amount
of tobacco can scarcely realize the
extent of the sales, especially so
when they were conducted entirely
by Mr. Melhorn and his one sales
man, George Schwartzbaugh.

Co., has returned from a western

Our market opened fairly strong

under increased pressure from a

higher with great irregularity. On
the last day of the sale there was
some reaction, and our market eased
down to about last week's range of
prices.
Receipts are much larger than
the sales, and the unsold stocks are
steadily increasing. Up to this time
sellers have been holding back in
expectation of better prices later on,
but now they will doubtless meet
the market with steadily increasing
offerings.

General Nunez on Cuba.
In a recent article in "The Inde-
pendent," General Emilio Nunez
says:
So far as the tobacco interests of
the United States are concerned,
economists largely agree that the
open-door policy of trade can be
nothing but beneficial. Those in-
clined to doubt need not rely solely
on the theoretical demonstrations of
figures. Let them consult, as I
have done, the practical tobacco
men of the United States — the
growers, jobbers, importers, and
manufacturers. The majority unit*
in the belief that the increased im-
portation of Havana tobacco would
lead to larger sales and bigger
profits, while exerting absolutely
no harmful influence upon the
domestic product. There are several
reasons for their confidence.
The cheapening of the Havana
product would supply a better grade
of filler for five- cent cigars, and
would encourage their sale. On
these, and the more expensive ci-
gars, any domestic wrapper would
be good if the Havana filler were
employed with little adulteration.
This would lead to a greater de-
mand than ever for Virginia, Con-
necticut and Pennsylvania tobaeco.
A Havana filled cigar with a do-
mestic wrapper would be far better,
at the same price, or less, than th«
cigar sold to-day with a Sumatra
wrapper. This is the practical^
business side of the proposition.

Lists of Special T«x Payers.
A Congressman who asked that
one of his constituents be furnished
with a list of the cigar manufac-
turers in his State, was advised that
the Internal Revenue Office has no
published list of the cigar manufac-
turers, and that it has not been the
practice of the office to furnish a
list of such manufacturers to any
person; and, further, that collectors
of internal revenue are required to
keep at their office, for public in
spection, a register of the special
tax payers for the several districts,
and the names of cigar manufac-
turers may be prepared from this
record by some one authorized to
make such list, but no employe of
the collector's office can be em
ployed in that behalf.
Sale of Cuttings.
A leaf dealer, who inquired
whether it was necessary for him to
obtain a special permit from a col-
lector for the sale of cuttings to a
manufacturer of cigars or tobacco,
was advised that a leaf dealer is not
privileged to buy or manufacture
and sell tobacco scraps, cuttings or
clippings, which were bi- products
of tobacco or cigar factories, and
therefore, the collector is not author-
ized to issue a special permit, on
Form 100, authorizing such trans-
fers or sales; and that a dealer in
leaf tobacco can only handle and
sell the refuse scraps and broken
leaf which accumulate at his ware-
house, but not manufactured, from
handling leaf tobacco, and that such
material must be put up in cases
and bales before it could be sold to
qualified manufacturers of tobacco
or cigars or to other qualified dealers
in leaf tobacco as "stemmed leaf."
Attention was called to Articles 3
and 4, page 8, and last paragraph
on page 17, and first paragraph on
page 18, of the Regulations, No. 8.
Consolidation of Factories.
A collector reported that several
manufacturers desired to consolidate
their interests under one firm name
and occupy one factory, consolidat-
ing the stocks of the several factories
at the one place, and asked for
instructions, was advised that the
manufacturer occupying the fac-
tory that would be occupied by the
new firm can inventory his stock on
Form 70a and include all tobacco
material and stamped and un-
stamped manufactured tobacco pro-
ducts, and tobacco in process of
manufacture, and all unattached
stamps on hand at date of inventory,
and transfer the same to the new
firm, who will be assigned the same
factory number and carry on busi-
ness at the same location after they^
have filed a statement on Form 36,
and a bond on Form 40, without
the retiring manufacturer being re-
quired to pack or stamp his manu-^
factured products or tobacco in pro-
cess of manufacture; and, further^
that all leaf tobacco, stemmed and
unstemmed, and all tobacco scraps
and tobacco in process of manufac-
ture, the process of manufacture of
which has not been completed, but
which requires further manipula-
tion; and all licorice, sugar and
other material held by outside fac-
tories at the time of closing, may
be inventoried, and such products
transferred directly to the factory
operated by the new firm; but that
all manufactured tobacco, the pro-
cess or manufacture of which has
been completed, including plug,
fine-cut, cut plug and all chewing
and smoking tobacco of whatever
kind, must be properly packed,
labeled and stamped by these out-
side factories before it is removed
from the place of manufacture; and
that all labels and branding irons
used by the outside factories can not
be used at the new location unless
such change is made that such
labels and branding irons will show
that the goods are manufactured by
the new firm or company.
Payment of Rebate to a Deceased Claimant'*
Widow.
A collector reported that the widow
of a claimant for rebate under the act
of March 2, 1901, who had died re-
cently, leaving no estate, desired
that the warrant be forwarded to her,
so that she might draw the money.
It was advised that if the domicile
of the decedent at the time of his
death was in that State, the widow
should furnish an affidavit to that
effect and show that she is hi»
widow, and that his funeral ex-
penses have been paid; which affi-
davit should be transmitted to the
Comptroller's office for approval
before payment. If the domicile of
the decedent was not in that State,
information as to where it was
should be furnished the Comptrol-
ler's office, the laws of distribution
varying in the different States.
Therefore it was suggested that the
widow make an affidavit as to the
facts, particularly describing the
warrant, showing the name of the
original claimant and payee, the
amount, number and date of the
warrant, and forward the same to the
Comptroller of the Treasury, Wash-
ington, D. C.
A monkey playing with a box of
matches in the rear of a cigar store
in Anderson, Ind., last week, suc-
ceeded in starting a blaze which did
damage to the amount of $ too. The
monkey was badly scorched.

never made any other size than the ! of which this marvelous artist bent rarest excellence,
perfecto, and he got fabulous pay '
for his work, something like $io8
or $112 for each one thousand.
There were cigarmakers in Havana
in Pepe's time who got more, but
they worked on Kohinoors, Invin-
cibiles, and Emperadores, huge,
showy artificialities, such as are
sent to Europe as gifts to Ministers
of State, or Princes or Kings; but
Pepe stuck to the perfecto size, the
size, which, as you know, as well
as I do, is most in demand by your
connoisseur.
Pepe's perfectos were always per-
fect. One was as like the other as
one perfect grape is like another,
and yet they were as diflferent from
perfectos made in the same shop by
other very competent and painstak-
ing, and still far inferior, workmen
as one city is different from another
city.
Among his fellows in Havana
Pepe was more famous than was
perhaps good for him. He was a
little round ball of a man, with a
pair of velvety black eyes, a com-
plexion of clearest olive, a roguish
smile and a head of tangled short

packers who put them into the
boxes in which they went forth
took even more pride in them than
Pepe himself did. At great ex-
positions it was the perfectos that
Pepe made that were always placed
in the finest and most accessible
showcases. They never failed to
win the gold medal. That was in-
evitable, but what was far more
I remarkable was that the great
: public, so innocent of the finer
secrets of the cigarmaking trade,
I seemed always to take a great de-

I still less could they suspect that the
artist's aura hovered over his work,
compelling the veneration of lesser

'Tis algrateful world, my masters.
Manual skill such as that of Pepe
of the Velvet Paw meets its reward

Oldest of Leaf Porters.
HARRIS l.OLDMERG.
Harris Goldberg, who on January
I, 1902, was retired on a pension
by E. Spingarn & Co., the big
leaf house of No. 5 Burling Slip,
New York, whom he had served
faithfully and with great intelligence
for forty-two years, is believed to
be the oldest leaf porter in the trade.
He was 73 years of age on his last
birthday.
Mr. Elias Spingarn, the present
head of the firm of E. Spingarn &
Co., has been identified with the
tobacco interest since 1857. In that
year he and his brother, Mr. Sam.
Spingarn, were proprietors of a
retail cigar store at Broadway and
Fulton street, on the site of the
building now occupied by the New
York Evening Post. Harris Gold-
berg entered their service in i860,
and when, in 1862, they removed
to 5 Burling Slip, which they have
continued to occupy ev:r since, he
came with them as porter. Up to
the time of his retirement on Jan-
uary I, 1902, he had never lost a
day from any cause, nor was he
ever remiss in the performance of
any one of his numerous duties.
The old porter lives in his own
home in Brooklyn, and life is made
pleasant for him by his grandchild-
ren, thechildren of his three married
daughters. Besides his pension, he j
receives numerous substartial re-
membrances from his old employers.
John H. Days Sails for Home
John H. Duys, of the big New
York city Sumatra importing
house of H. Duys, Jr., who has
been on his wedding journey to
Europe, and who incidentally at-
tended several of the inscriptions in
Amsterdam and Rotterdam, sailed
with his bride for home, on the Sta-
tendam, on May 9. |
Adolf o Moellerin New York
Don Adolfo Moeller, the well-
known packer and warehouseman
of Havana, has opened offices at
161 Water street, New York. His
representative in New York will be
Mr. Carlos M. Wintxer, Jr., who
has been associated with him in
Havana for the past nine years.
Don Adolfo is of German birth,
and served his apprenticeship to the
trade with the big house of Anton
Moebius, deceased, in Hamburg.
Later, he went to Havana, and was
for many years associated in the
tobacco business with the big house
of Federico Bauriedel & Co. Since
1898, he has been in business in
Havana on his own account.
At his New York headquarters,
as in Havana, Don Adolfo will han-
dle all kinds of Havana tobacco,
and he will be pleased to correspond
with the leaf and cigar manufactur-
ing trade of Pennsylvania.
He packs in Cuba annually about
5,000 bales of tobacco. The ware-
house in Havana, of which he is
the proprietor, is one of the largest
tobacco warehouses in the world.
It has a capacity of 60,000 bales,
and is at present filled from cellar
to roof.
j Don Adolfo Moeller is one of the
I most aggressive of hustlers, and is
personally very popular with the
trade in Havana and in the United
States.
Julius Mar<iusee Packs On-
I ondaga in Lancaster.
Julius Marqusee, of 144 Water
street. New York, who is known to
some of his friends as "Onondaga
Jule," on account of his success in
packing Onondaga leaf, is doing his
packing of that type of tobacco in
Lancaster, Pa, this year. His ware-
house in Lancaster is at 226 Lemon
street. He has 300 people at work
there, assorting. The leaf is being
handled in Connecticut style, and
the work will probably be finished
by June i . It will consist of 3,500
cases of 1901 Onondagas.
L. Wolfsky Goes to Jturope.
Louis Wolfsky, who has been
identified with the leaf trade of New
York city for the past twenty- five
years, and who is at present with
the firm of Edward Schroeder &
Co , sails for a vacation trip to
Europe, on the Kronpriz Wilhelm,
on June 3. He expects to be gone
until October. The trip is under-
taken solely for recreation.

kept the whole title legal or equita-

one in favor of the plaintiflF and
most relied upon is Hobba vs.

holds that an intermeddler claiming
the invention adversely to the in-

a foreign patent. The change in
the law since does not authorize any

former law.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
(I2>^ cents per8-poitit measured line.)
The Suction Table Suit Decided in
Favor of the Miller, DuBrul &
Peters Mfg. Co.
Justice Hoyt H. Wheeler, of the
U. S. Circuit Court for the Southern
District of New York, has decided
the appealed case of The John R.
Williams Company against The
Miller, DuBrul & Peters Manufac-
turing Company in favor of the de-
fendant.
The decision is as follows:
The term of patent No. 315,408,
dated April 7, 1885, and granted to
Oscar Hammerstein assignor to
William Eggert, trustee, as affected
by British patent No. 6,811, dated
February 19, 1884, and granted to
him for the same invention. He
had made application for this patent
July 10, 1883, and assigned his
right to it to Malvina Hammerstein,
July 17, 1883, and this right was
outstanding at the time when the
British patent was applied for and
when it was granted. This out-
standing right is relied upon to de-
feat the effect of the British patent
upon the term of this one.
The statute then in full force pro-
vided. Sec. 4887, Rev. Stat., that
"Every patent granted for an in-
vention which has been previously
patented in a foreign country shall
be so limited as to expire at the
same time with the foreign patent,
or, if there be more than one, at
the same time with the one having
the shortest term, and in no case
shall it be in force more than seven-
teen years "
A patent granted under this
statute would be limited in time to
the expiration of a previous foreign
patent as if that was written in for
its term, although on its face it
should appear to be for seventeen
years — Bate Refrigerating Co. vs.
Hammond, 139, U. S 151.
The outstanding assignment was
of a mere equitable title to such a
patent as the assignor might obtain,
which turned out to be one that
would expire with the British
patent. No case is cited or known
that holds this statute applicable

The Answer.
The reasons behind the neglect
from which the Havana cigarette
suflfers are several.
Those which are concerned with
the cigarette itself are these:
First, it was found that under the
McKinley duties, Havana cigarettes
could not be sold at a profit in the
United States. Prior to the Mc-
Kinley year Havana cigarettes had
a tolerably large sale in New York
and other big cities, but since 1890
very few of them have been imported
for sale.
Second, the cigarette smoking
public demands long cut tobacco in
its cigarettes and the cigarette to-
bacco of Cuba is always granulated.
Thus, in that famous third act of
Pinero's "Gay Lord Quex," the
voluptuous Duchess of Strood in-
sists upon inviting her reformed
lover to smoke a cigarette. She
names the brand, too, and it is a

Havana Cigarettes.
Havana, May 6, 1902
Dkar Medicink Man:
Why is it that Havana cigarettes
are not the standard of excellence
just the same as Havana cigars?
The tobacco in the cigarettes manu-
factured in Havana is aromatic, the
favorite occupation, but it didn't
answer in the United States at all,
especially when these half made ci-
garettes came in competition with
the completely manufactured article
turned out in New York, or Rich-
mond, or Durham, N. C. It is true
that thirty years ago the old "Hon-
radez" brand of Havana cigarettes,
to name one of several, came into
the American market made in the
same fashion that American cigar-
appreciate the excellence of the ci- j stand, they pretty generally give the
garettes which you extol.

Fresh News from Cuba.
Market apparently quiet on the
surface, in reality active, with a
)40od deiuand from many quarters
and thus sales foot up between 6,-
500 and 7,000 bales all told during
the week ended May 3. Prices have
luled low, but should this move-
ment continue, a rise seems inevit-
able, at least so thinking people ex-
press themselves.
THE NEW CROP.
Vuelta Abajo. — The packings or
escojidas are progressing not very
fast yet, still they are slowly but
surely making headway, and will be
all in working order by about the
middle of this month. Prices for
the finest tobaccos will undoubtedly
rule very high again this year, ow-
ing to the quantity being limited.
Inferior grades and growths may
be more reasonable, as buyers are
not anxious to pay exorbitant rates
for them and abstain from purchas-
ing, when farmers are asking too
much.
Partido. — Receiving tobacco from
the farmers, putting same in pile
(pilon) and partly packing are the
order of the day. Houses like
Campano Garcia & Co., Bruno
Diaz, G. Salomon & Bros., the
American Cigar Co. and Jorge P.
Castaneda & Co. are cither working
or will commence their escojidas in
the coming week.
Remedios. — Nothing doing yet,
everybody waiting for the rainy
season to commence before opera-
tions can take place. Various
rumors are current as to the size of
the 1902 crop, everybody admits it
is short and estimates vary from 60
to 70 per cent, less in quantity than
last year. Only a small proportion
is said to be good, the rest very
short, torn in leaf and yellow in
some sections. It is too early to
form a correct judgment although
everything indicates a poor yield in
the principal districts.

FACTORY.
The contract for the new modern
cigar factory on Zulueta street has
been signed, and according to Mr.
Corbin he expects to have the build-
ing ready for oc«upancy by October
ist, as the work is going to be
pushed. It promises to be an addi-
tion to the sights of Havana well
worth seeing for the tourist. That
the interior will be a beehive of
activity, nobody doubts.
LESLIE PANTIN.
This active, pushing and in
every sense honorable commission
merchant has succeeded in building
up such a business that he is now
amongst the foremost in this line,
and why? Because he understands
tobacco, knows our market thor-
oughly, and, through energy and
business tact, not alone attracts new
customers but knows how to satisfy
everybody and thus keeps his old
friends and makes new ones daily;
this is the secret of his success. Julius
Lichenstein, one of his latest friends,
is charmed with him and thus gave
him the handling of his 1,000 bale
purchase of the past ten days. Both
worked like beavers from day-light
till sunset, and thus secured the
best to be had in our market at the
right prices.
VENANCIO DIAZ AND NARCISO

Mr. Gonzalez is the nephew of Mr.
Diaz, and being already acquainted
in New York, and speaking English
fluently, will no doubt succeed in
making things hum in Gotham and
its sister cities— Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, Baltimore, etc. Everybody
who has been to Havana knows
Venancio, as a self made man who
thoroughly understands his busi-
ness and people in general.

as to colors. At the tail end of the
season, it is but natural that only
the very largest factories can carry
enough stock to supply them with
light wrappers, and amongst these
may be enumerated: the Henry Clay
and Bock & Co., Ltd.. and Havana
Commercial Co.. the H de Cabanas
y Carvajal & Co., Rabell, Costa &
Co.'s factories. "Marques de Ra-
bell, "etc., the Viuda dejose Gener,
the Sol factory, of Behrens & Co ,
H. Upmann & Co.'s factory, the
Punch factory, the Flor de J. Sua
rez Murias, and Charles Blasco's
facto, y.
The fact that the reciprocity ques-
tion still hangs fire is given as one
reason why the people north do not
care to have any stock on hand,
when the reduced import duties
may take place upon July ist.
European customers usually wait to
satisfy themselves as to the new crop
by actual sample shipments before
they order largely, and therefore, in
this direction business is alwJiys
lagging, independent of the wide-
spread bad economical state of affairs
on the old continent.

Henry Waitt, of the widely

who died suddenly of heart disease
on May 7 , was buried from his home
in Newton, Mass., on the afternoon

Among those who went from

were Sigmund Rosen wald, of E.

man, of S. Rossin & Sons, and
Charles Bid well, of Rothschild &

Henry Waitt, who was 60 years
of age at the time of his death, was
a self-made man of the very best
type. He began his connection
with the industry with which he
was for so many years connected,
as a stripper boy in a cigar factory
in Boston and rose gradually by his
own efforts to the head of the great
firm with which his name will al-
ways be associated.

The cigar trade among Philadel-
phia manufacturers is improving
slowly and some fairly good-sized
orders have been received by some
of the larger houses. The demand
is almost wholly for the better
grades of cigars, and at the regular
factory prices.
The cigar and tobacco output of
the First District of Pennsylvania
during April, 1902, was:
Cigars 40,350,820
Little cigars 1 4 , 000
Cigarettes at 54c 174,500
Cigarettes at $1 .08 3 308,250
Cigarettes at $3 00 21,000
Snuff, pounds 347.245
Tobacco, pounds 120,914
The above shows a slight decrease
in the output of cigars as compared
with April, 1901 — 605,580. It
shows a gain, however, of 431,150
over April, 1900.
All of the several factories of
the Theobald & Oppenheimer Co
are running with a full force. Their
new Tampa factory, where only
clear Havana floods are being made,
has been kept well filled with orders
so far.
It is well known that the "Mar-
cello" clear Havana cigars of Dun-
can & Moorhead have been having
an elegant sale in this city and
other sections but recently the de-
mand for these goods has grown in
a way that is not being appreciated
by the firm. It is the fact that twice
during the past week their delivery
wagon was robbed on the street of
1,000 and 1,500 cigars respectively.
The goods were removed from the
wagon daring the short intervals
that the driver was in certain estab-
lishments attending to his duties.
It may show good taste on the part
of the burglars, in selecting so fine
a quality .of goods for their plunder,
but it is not very profitable business
for the house.
Pent Bros, are engaged in ex-
tensively remodeling their Chestnut
street store. Handsome new show
cases and other fixtures are being
placed in position.
Business with T. J. Dunn & Co.
has remained in a satisfactory con-
dition. Some good sized new orders
have recently come from Gerson
Heymann, who has been covering
the west.
W. K. Roedel &. Co. are now dis-
tributing among their customers a

An incident has been cited tend-

would yield to a cost not to exceed
$5 50 per thousand cigars.

Mr, Sigmund Rosknwald.
Now President of the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association.
legislation. He characterized the
industry as a new star which had
recently arisen on the horizon,
which had first appeared in Florida
and Georgia, and had moved north-
ward as far as Connecticut. This
industry, said he, has perhaps not
been considered a factor as yet, but
it might prove to be an important
one in a few years.
This infant industry, he continued
should be given an opportunity of
showing what it can do. If we can-
not demonstrate that we caL grow
as good wrapper tobacco in this
country as anywhere in the world,
then he would favor letting the raw
material come in at low rates of
duty; but, said he, there is likely
to be an influx of foreign capital
into Cuba as soon as a stable
government shall have been estab-
lished, and there was no doubt in
his mind that the cultivation of to-
bacco would be increased enor-
mously. He concluded: "I would,
therefore, like to amend the resolu-
tion by raising the figures from 35
to 50 cents per pound."
It was the above resolution that
was passed in its amended form and
subsequently rescinded, during an
executive session.
A motion was offered by B. A.
Kaiser, of Boston, advocating a uni-
form rate of duty on all leaf tobacco
imported into this country, and that
a fund be raised by popular sub-
scription for the purpose of prosecut
ing action with this end in view.
This motion was passed.
A resolution by Benno Neuberger
was made through the New York
delegation suggesting that dealers
in Sumatra tobacco urge the Su-
matra tobacco growing companies
to exercise more care in sizing and
assorting, was passed.
A motion was made and carried
to refer all matters regarding the
tariff to the Legislative Committee.
The convention then went into
executive session, during which
time the following resolution was
passed , after the Friedman resolution
had been rescinded.
"Resolved, That it is the sense
of this convention that when in the
judgment of the Legislative Com-
mittee it is possible to secure a uni-
form rate of duty on Havana to-
bacco alone, that they be empowered 1
to adopt the necessary measures to '
secure this result "
The afternoon session was pro-
longed until nearly six o'clock,
when the convention adjourned
until Wednesday morning at ten
o'clock.
WEDNESDAY'S SESSION.
The convention was called to
order at 10.30, and immediately
went into active business.
An amendment was offered by J.
L. Friedman, changing the by- laws
so as to permit individual members
of the Association to participate in
the proceedings by discussion but
not by any vote. The motion
carried.
W. S. Bare, of Lancaster, offered
the following preamble and resolu-
tion:
I "Whereas, A corporation char-
tered under the laws of the State of
New Jersey, ind known as the
American Cigar Company, is known
to be doing business jointly with
the American Tobacco Company,
a corporation also chartered under
the laws of the State of New Jersey ;
and
"Whereas, The American To-
bacco Co. controls all the chewing
and smoking tobacco and cigarettes
manufactured in the United States;
and
! "Whereas, This said American
Tobacco Company declines to exe- j
cute orders for plug and chewing !
tobacco and cigarettes, from cigar!
jobbers and dealers ^throughout thei
United States, unles's the said job- 1
bers and dealers buy large amounts j
of cigars manufactured by the 1
American Cigar Company, often'
against the wishes and best interests '
of the said cigar jobbers and dealers;
and
"Whereas, Thecoercive methods
of the above corporations, which
are known as the 'tobacco trust,'
are at present destroying all com-
petition in the mamifaciure of ci-
gars, and therefore annihilating the
business of the cigar leaf tobacco
trade of the country; therefore be it
"Resolved, By the Cigar Leaf
Tobacco Association, that we con-
demn all business methods which
by the association of large capital
and coercion destroys just and hon-
orable competition: and be it further
' ' Resolved , That we send a copy
of these resolutions to the Attorney
General of the United States, with
the request that such laws may be
invoked as shall prevent the cor-
poration or associated corporations
known as the 'tobacco trust' from
coercing the cigar jobbers and
dealers into buying their cigars
from the said 'tobacco trust.' "
The above brought out much
earnest discussion, and some little
feeling was also expressed, but it
was carried by a fair majority.
Mr. Eckerson then offered a reso-
I lution urging the Legislative Com-
mittee to prosecute its cours ■ against
the present Dock Weight law, and
that the matter be brought before
Congress at its next short session.
The resolution was carried.
Mr. Kckerson moved for a vote
of thanks to the Agricultural De-
partment for the interest it has
taken in advancing the growing of
tobacco. This motion was aLso
passed.
A resolution was then passed to

discretion of the new Kxecutive
Board.
Mr. Cullman presented a resolu
tion empowering the President to
employ a privite secretary, it such
course is found desirable. This
resolution was adopted.
Mr. Bare oflfered a resolution as
follows :
"Resolved, That the Legislative
Committee be instructed to bring
before the proper authorities notice
of illegal contracts or infringements
of the law on the part of the so
called tobacco trusts, whenever, in
the opinion of the Committee, suffici
ent proof of such violation of the
law may be brought to their notice,
and that we pledge ourselves indi-
vidually to lend our best eflForts in
aiding the Committee to raise funds
from the various Local Boards to
accomplish this purpose, and that
we authorize them to collect funds
for such purpose when needed."
Adopted.
A resolution was presented by
Mr. Friedman to change the mem-
bership clause of the Constitution
from ' 'one to ten " to ' 'one to eight. ' '
Adopted.
Mr. Krohn made a motion that

Mr. Young, whose untiring eflforts
resulted in the forming of the as-
sociation; and
"Whereas, Mr Young was chosen
as President of that new organiza-
tion and has served in that capacity
up to the present time; and
"Whereas, The growth and
power of this Association has been
due in a large degree to the self
sacrificing spirit, which has ani-
mated Mr. Young in devoting his
time and his great mental power to
the successful prosecution of the
work of the Association to the bene-
fit of our trade; and
"Whereas, Mr. Young has de-
clined to continue in the office of
President, owing to the necessity
on his part of laying down this
great mental and physical burden:
Now, therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we. the dele
gates to this National Convention,
accept his declination to continue
as President with great regret.
"Resolved, That we hereby ex
press to Mr. Young our apprecia
tion of his unrivaled public spirit,
his devotion to the work, and his
unsparing activity and self-sacrifice,
whenever the occasion demanding
these qualities arose.
"Resolved, That these resolu-
tions be spread in full on the min
utes, and that an engrossed copy
thereof be presented to Mr. Young."
The resolutions were passed
amidst vigorous applause.
A vote of thanks was also ex-
tended to all the other officers of
the Association.
The convention then adjoured,
to meet again in May of next year
at such place as the Board may
designate.

Complete Vindication for Mr. Young
The action of the convention in
so earnestly and persistently urg-
ing Mr. Young to accept a re-elec
tion to the office of President was
a complete and overwhelming vin-
dication of the charge of incompe
tence made against him, as referred
to in his address to the convention.

The trolley ride, which was fully
attended, was a delightful one, and
filled every one with pleasure. Its
course included many of Cincin-
nati's interesting suburban points,
the first stop being made on College
Hill where refreshments were served.
The latter part of the afternoon and
the evening were spent at the Zoo,
where an elegant luncheon was
served, and one of those famous
"Beer Abends" was enjoyed.
After a rather laborious day's
work in convention on Tuesday the
delegates were entertained at an
informal gathering at the Stag Cafe
in the evening. It was a purely
social afiair, and every one present
enjoyed himself to the fullest extent.
Impromptu speeches, of course,
were indulged in — all more or less
humoroua.
The convention festivities cul-
minated with a lavish banquet to
the delegates at the Grand Hotel,
on Wednesday evening, at which
time a full representation was
present both of delegates and speci-
ally invited guests. Needless to
say, it was thoroughly enjoyed by
one and all. The menu was elab

A beautiful souvenir, in the shape
of a loving cup, made at the famous
Rookwood Pottery, Cincinnati, was
presented to each one.
A speech of welcome was made
to the banqueters by Mr. Louis
Newburgh, and was responded to
briefly by ex- President Young, on
behalf of President Rosenwald.
The toast "Welcome Within Our
Gates," for which the Hon. Julius
Fleishman, Mayor of Cincinnati,
bad been scheduled, was not re-
sponded to, owing to the absence
of the Mayor, but the toast, "To-
bacco," was pleasingly and enter-
tainingly responded to by Judge
Howard Ferris.
Presentation to Mr. Young,
The presentation of a silver lov-
ing cup to ex President Young
came as a beautiful climax, and it
was the surprise of the day.
The presentation of this loving
cup was inspired by the members
of the Seed Leaf Tobacco Board of
Trade of Cincinnati, and was parti
cipated in by the delegates present
During the entire day vindication
after vindication, if such it must be
called, had been showered upon the
ex-presiding officer, «ntil they had
become almost wearisome, yet It
was always accepted in the spirit
in which it had been given. In
this case actions spoke more elo
quently than words, for an almost
inaudible " I thank you" was all
that could be heard. The surprise
had been complete.
Impromptti remarks were also
made by numerous delegates, and
others.
Convention Side Lights.
Mr. Frei was one of Cincinnati's
most royal entertainers, 'tis said.
John Bain, Jr., was discussing
not only tobacco matters, but the
different beautiful species of live
lions at the Zoo.
Bustillo Bros. & Diaz's "Albion"
and Ruy Lopez y Ca's "Ruy Lopez"
clear Havana cigars were used ex-
clusively at the convention.
Menno M. Fry, of Lancaster, is
responsible for the introduction of
lady visitors to the annual conven-
tion. The movement was partici-
pated in this year by numerotift
others.
H. L. Kinney, a twin brother of
father Kinney, Philadelphia leaf
trade's spiritual adviser, was a
shining light during oonvention
festivities.
A. W. Geiske, of Baltimore, was
there too — a la Van- dyke. He is
not infrequently mistaken for Prince
Henry.
George A. Burger's vocal organs
were in elegant trim.
Thomas Meininger entertained
delightfully by singing his favorite
song, * ' Unser Hans hot hosen awn. ' '
L. A. Wheeler was heard to have
been resweating Zimmers in his
sleep.
Major Newburgh had his hands
full in keeping his company straight.
A. Pazos entertained three men
in one corner for three hours and
ten minutes.
I. Latzar, has not only had a
corner on Zimmer Spanish, but on
the dice box for the drinks, as well.
Jake Labe don't consider the dice
box as good an investment as Ha-
vana tobacco.
Frank Ruscher was appointed
official inspector of high-balls.
Ben. F Good is said to have
fished ducks at the Zoo for cham-
pagne bottles.
Morris Rosenberg was the con-
noisseur of the Lancaster delegation
on "Beer Abend."
Dean Gunther, of the Cincinnati
Board, was one of the youngest at
the stag party on Tuesday evening.
"Isie" Latzar was, after all, the
only G. O. P. of the convention.
Everybody agreed that nobody
could have entertained the ladies
better while at the Zoo than did
Ferd. Cranz.

The power of conviction as ex-
hibited by Mr. Cullman, was almost
phenomenal.
There was no time for discussing
the warm weather after the conven-
tion got really started.

PHILADA LEAF MARKET.
The local market has not yet ex-
perienced any special activity this
year, yet the results of April busi-
ness show a more satisfactory in-
crease than was generally expected.
What little activity has been shown
was in the line of force sweated leaf,
but owing to an inadequate supply
the volume of business was not so
large as it would, no doubt, other-
wise have been. Good wrapper to-
baccos of the 1900 crop also meet
with a ready sale and at good prices;
but taken upon the whole the seed
leaf market has been sluggish.
The Sumatra market seems to
have been somewhat stimulated by
the comparatively small quantity of
domestic wrapper leaf that is avail-
able. Transactions are not particu-
larly large but sample lots are more
or less readily placed, and options
secured on larger lots. Old goods
are also receiving a fair share of at-
tention.
The Havana market has been
fairly satisfactory. Holders of de-
sirable old goods are anticipating
good business, in view of the short
crop of new tobacco, and importers
seem inclined to make no conces-
sions of any kind

THE TOBACCO WORLD
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 eiiuipment, 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. ■■ ■■-'^'O^...,-.-.^
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 line 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.

Latest News from York, Pa.
If a private inspection could have
been made of the books of dealers
in this city this week, I am sure it
would havejbeen found that trade
is improving with them. Such
seems to be the general impression
As much could be said of the man-
ufacturers who exhibit a counten-
ance indicative of good things when
"quizzed" in this direction. It is
a state ol affairs entirely gratifying,
following so closely the inactive
period just passed. The largest
sale of tobacco was made by Jacob
Brillinger, who disposed of loo
cases.
R. R. Uhler has returned from
his Cuban trip and is circulating
amongst his friends here. Have you
asked him for that solid Havana
cigar?
Major Gillespie has returned from
a successful^ trip among his western
trade.
Messrs. Bear Bros., from Zions
View are reporting favorable indi-
cations in their business. The
"boys" speak with particular em-
phasis when describing the new
article which they propose placing
on the market. The label will be
ready next week, under the title of
"Essie," and is to be a 5c produc
tion.
Judging from the extent of the
excavation being made for the
Joseph Styles warehouse, the com-
pletefll structure will be a credit to
an enterprising dealer.
Trade in Reading.
Bonds for [.two cigar factories,
Robert B. Jacoby, of Allentown,
and Russell P. Bowman, 1040 Oley
street, this city, were filed with
Collector Cranston, and the factories
will be put into operation at once
Mr. Cranston states that in his
travels he has found all the cigar
factories in his district busy, and
that the trade is active elsewhere.
Collector Cranston was notified
last week by Commissioner J. W.
Yerkes of a^new ruling, by which
the fees formerly charged cigar and
leaf dealers and tobacco manufac-
turers for registration have been
discontinued. These charges ranged
from $6 to $24. In the future,
manufacturers register by the use
of a goverment blank furnished,
which must be sworn to before a
notary.
Thieves entered the Jupiter Cigar
Factory of P. K. Steffe, at Sinking
Springs, and stole 5,200 of the
"Jupiter" brand of cigars. There
is no clue to the intruders, who
entered through a rear window
which they forced open. About a
year ago Mr. Steffe was robbed of
over $1,000 worth of leaf tobaeco.
The cigars were in boxes, stamped
The police have
but not cancelled,
been notified.
C. L. Scheffler is busy, and has
put several additional hands at
work. He has discontinued the
manufacture of the "Shad, " a nickel
cigar.
Bitting & Hawk, are busy at
present and have a large number
of orders on hand. They have
placed a new nickel brand on the
market called;; the "Delmonico"
which is meeting with success
Several other new ones will be ready
for distribution in a few weeks.
Allen A. Wolfskill, proprietor of
the cigar store at 927 Muhlenberg
street, has sold out and retired from
that business.
Gumpert Bros, are running with
a largely increased force of employes.
The firm has been doing a very
heavy trade since January i .
E. E. Kahler is shipping daily
consignmentsof his principal brands
to various agencies throughout the
United States. He reports trade
brisk and steady. The factory is
one of the busiest in this district.
H. S. Hossler, manager of the
Bon Ton Cigar Company and the
Continental Cigar Store, is exceed-
ingly busy at present. He recently
took possession of his new factory
and store building at Ninth and
Elm streets, and has fitted out the
place in a handsome manner. The
interior has been repainted and
repapered. Handsome new shelv-
ing and solid oak cigar cases have
been placed in position. The store
proper is 20x43 feet. The factory
is in the rear, where 10 hands are
employed. Mr. Hossler 's leaders
are the "Continental Pride" and
"Our Bouquet," both nickel cigars,
and his 10 cent leader is the "Major
General. ' ' Mr. Hossler ships most
of his product to New Jersey and
New York States. He was elected
Commander General of the P. Q.
S. of A, at a convention held at
Tower City about two weeks ago.
Great interest has been manifested
by the cigar manufacturers here and
the leaf tobacco dealers in the ex-
periments made by the government
in the raising of tobacco under
cover. The result of the sale of
leaf raised in this manner, which
has just taken place at Hartford,
Conn., was received by special dis-
patches by many of the Reading,
firms. A local leaf dealer said:
' Well, if that is the outcome of
the government's experience, then
there seems to be good reasons for
farmers in this county and those
adjoining to take up tobacco rais-
ing under cover. In Connecticut
the soil is more sandy, it is true,
and better adapted to the growth of
tobacco, but conditioms ought to be
just as good hereabouts. There
will doubtless be more attention
paid to tobacco growing by Berks
county farmers when they find that
the venture may be made more
profitable than heretofore. Many
are now engaged in raising it."

A large percentage of the 1901
crop has been purchased; there are,
however, a number of good crops
still in the growers' hands. The
market is quiet with but few buyers
still in the field. C. E Dudley,
of Meridian has been riding in this
vicinity and is reported as having
made a number of recent purchases.
J. H. Mills is also still buying for
his firm, Joseph Mayer's Sons, of
New York. James G. Mayer, Jr.,
of this firm, has been registered at
the Riverside and has been riding.
Morris Rosenberg, of Philadelphia,
was registered at the Seneca Tues-
day and Wednesday, and is reported
to have bought several good crops.
Last Saturday J. H. Mills received
two car loads for his firm, and on
Monday took in 180 cases, shipping
to New York. Lewis Sylvester &
Son also shipped a car load to New
York on Monday. At the ware-
houses the assorting has been fin-
ished, Lewis Sylvester & Son fin
ished up this week. The plant
beds are reported to be in good con

ward on account of the cold weather,
but they look hardy and are proba
bly up to the average season. —

The busy buying of the new crop
is over, and only occasional sales
are now reported, at prices ranging
from 8 to lie through for Zimmer

Some older crops are still held by
farmers.

The transactions in old goods are

George McGiffin of this city has
been sampling the lot this week.

The market this week took on
the old time activity in large offer-
ings and free sales at good prices
for the better grades, of which there
was quite a large quantity of Bremen
and French styles, all of which
seemed in unlimited demand as to
quantity. The quality is far better
than for many years. Packing
never better, and prices no higher
than for past five years. The trade
realizing these favorable features
were in for all that was oflfered,
while Low and Common grades
ruled as formerly in good demand.
Had good planting season this week

Our receipts this week were 1,126 hhds.;
offenngs on the breaks, 834 hhds; sales
619 hhds.
With larger breaks better qualities
and assortments were offered. The
market was active but irregularly
easier on most grades of Leaf. Lugs
continue to be but a small propor-
tion of the offerings.
The weather has been favorable
for the plant beds, and there is an
effort to make some small plantings,
but cut worms are very numerous
and damaging to the young corn
plants.

Exch«ngc of Stamps on ind alter July i, igoi.
The Commissioner has advised
collectors that the act of April 12,
1902, provides that until appropriate
stamps are prepared and furnished
the stamps heretofore used to denote
the payment of revenue tax on to-
bacco and snufi" may, on and after
July I, 1902, be presented to col-
lectors of internal revenue who
shall receive them at the price paid
for such stamps by the purchasers
and issue in lieu thereof new or im-
printed stamps at the rate provided
by said act.
Each lot of stamps must be ac-
companied by a schedule of the
stamps presented for exchange, set-
ting forth in columns under appro-
priate headings the number of each
denomination and the amount of
cash paid. There should be pre-
sented with said stamps andschedule
an order for stamps at the new rate
of tax, specifying the denominations
desired. The total value of new
stamps ordered should be made to
correspond as nearly as possible to
the total value of the old stamps re-
turned for exchange.
Where it is impracticable to order
new stamps exactly corresponding
in value to those returned, the order
for such new stamps should be made
for an amount slightly exceeding
the value of those returned, and
there should be transmitted or pre-
sented with such order cash suJB5ci-
ent to pay for the excess of new
stamps required.
Upon receipt of stamps for ex
change with a schedule and order
as above provided, accompanied,
when necessary, by money to pay
for excess of new stamps ordered,
collectors will have the old stamps
counted, noting the denominations
and value thereof on the schedule
and issue to the owner thereof new
stamps of equal value of those re-
turned and the cash, if any, trans-
mitted therewith.
The stamps returned for exchange
together with a schedule giving the
name of each person who returned
the same, and showing in columns
under appropriate headings the
number of stamps of each denomi-
nation returned, the value thereof,
the amount of cash, if any, received
to balance exchange, should then
be forwarded to the Commissioner
by registered mail.
When stamps are presented for
exchange, collectors must take a
reasonable time for counting and
examining the same, for preparing
schedules, making entries, and
completing all transactions pertain-
ing to such exchange with care and
accuracy. In order to prevent loss
to the Government, and confusion
and delay in the settlement of ac-
counts, collectors should advise
manufacturers to purchase as few
stamps of the old issue as will meet
their requirements until July i, 1902.
Abe Gruber*8 Vicarious Smoke.
An impecunious constituent of
Abraham Gruber called upon the
latter at his oflSce last week and
requested the loan of a dollar. A
two dollar bill was the smallest the
Colonel had. This he handed to
the caller with the remark:
"Go to the cigar stand down
stairs, get a fifteen- cent cigar, keep
a dollar, and bring me the change. "
In a few minutes the visitor reap-
peared, puflfing contentedly at a
cigar, and handed the Colonel 85
cents. Noticing a peculiar expres-
sion on Col. Gruber 's face, he with-
drew the cigar from his lips long
enough to inquire:
"Did you meam that the cigar
was for you or me?"
"Get out of here," was all Gruber
could say. — New York Times.

he, then one of his brothers afore

I am speaking of the most unique
commercial traveler in the world ; of
the tobacco salesman who each year
accompanies the haj on its journey
to the holy cities of Mohammedan-
ism. His mission is purely one of
trade. The religious exaltation
which possesses the other pilgrims
does not animate his breast. His
eyes are not aflame with an eager-
ness to look upon Medinah or Mecca,
but his breast is fired with the pros-
pect, certain to be realized if he can
only reach a certain point in his
journey about two days this side of
Mecca, of realizing upon his mer-
chandise a profit to make all other
tradesmen gasp, if not with envy, at
least with amazement.
The most peculiar part of this
traveler's experience is that, as he
values his life, he dare not permit
any of his fellow wayfarers know of
the contents of the pack on his
camel's hump, for tobacco upon the
haj is a commodity so desirable that
very few Mohammedan pilgrims
will hesitate at murder to obtain it.
Therefore, our tobacco traveler
packs his merchandise into as small
a compass as possible, piles upon Jit

down to the last man who has any
money to spend for tobacco.
Do we of the United States know
anything of high priced tobacco?
Listen. I am told that the regie of
Bosnia-Herzegovina manufactures
a cigarette tobacco for which the
Shah of Persia and the Sultan of
Turkey, besides a few millionaires
in their respective dominions, pay
$75 a pound. I am told that the
regie of Portugal gets $50 a pound
for the snuff which Pope Leo and
some mandarins in China affect.
Well, our salesman to the haj,
once his market in the oasis is
gained, does far better than that. If
you desire to estimate the sums he
receives for the tobacco he has come
so far and run such dangers to sell,
just ask yourself how much Ugolino

I never smoke a cigarette
But comes the recollection
Of one who— I can see her yet —
Could make them to perfection.
A pretty girl, with laughing eyes,
And mouth most kiss-provoking.
A rosebud! In that rosebud lies
The reason for my smoking.
Around each small tobacco roll
The memory still lingers
Of her and of the time I stole
The first one from her fingers.
She made some comment on a dunce,
Then laughingly she beckoned
For more tobacco, and at once
Began to roll a second.
Between her dainty finger tips
She fashioned it to please me;
Then held it to her rosebud lips
And lighted it to tease me.
"Now, possibly you may steal this,"
Said she, "you've grown so foxy."
I did, and got a rosebud's kiss—
A kind of kiss by proxy.

The National Flower. '
Cincinnati, May 24, 1902.
Dbar Medicine Man:
Do not you agree with me that
the tobacco plant depicted upon the
Rookwood loving cups bestowed
upon the diners at the recent trade
convention banquet in this city, is
the most artistic presentation of this
flower ever given? To my view it
is so successful, as a picture, that it
inspires me to ask you if you do not
think the American people would
do well to adopt the flower of the
tobacco plant as the national flower?
Every once in a while, and as
recently as last Sunday, in the New
York Sunday Times, some flower
lover writes to the papers suggest-
ing that one plant or another be
•chosen by Americans just as the
English long ago chose the rose,
the French the fleur de lys, and so
forth. The writer in the Sunday
Times, whom I have just mentioned,
advocates the claims of the sun
flower I myself am able to see no
beauty in the sun flower. It is big,
it is obtrusive and insistent, it has
no commercial value; in short the
selection of the sun flower, in my
judgment, would be grotesque.
Now, the flower of the tobacco
plant is modest and pleasing to the
eye, the plant itself is one of the
greatest of wealth producers, and
I am quite sure that if erery flower
lover in America could but see one
of those wonderful Rookwood lov-
ing cups, he would vote for my
choice which. I am sure, dear Mr.
Medicine Man, is also yours, m. e.
I them. The tobacco flower stands
I for much glory in American his
tory, for very many of our most
cherished traditions cling around
it. It is native only to our soil,
and a protege of every other land
on earth. It is, as my correspond-
ent very justly observes, a modest
blossom, for all it tops a tall con-
spicuous plant. If the choice of
the American people in such a mat-
ter as this were to be dictated alone
by gratitude, there can be no doubt
they would vote to a man for the
tobacco flower as the national em-
blem, because, as I have said, our
national treasury and the develop-
ment of commercial genius here
owe so much to the tobacco plant.
The flower as we behold it on the
loving cups from the kilns at the
Rookwood pottery, is in truth, the
most successful picture of the to-
bacco plant ever painted. It is not
only an exact representation of the
flower, but, what is far more re-
markable, it is an idealized picture
as well. Only one of the very
greatest artists at Rookwood could

OREGON.
In its love of cigars Oregon is the
sister of California, and if Portland
were as large a city as San Fran-
cisco, and with as many buyers of
fine cigars as San Francisco has
always possessed, she would be one
of the greatest consumers of im-
ported cigars in the whole United
States. The taste of the cigar lovers
of Portland, like that of the cigar
lovers of San Francisco, was formed
prior to the civil war, when the
only cigars to be bought in San
Francisco or in Portland came from
Cuba. This fact accounts for the
present universal popularity in
Portland and the other cities in
Pacific Coast possesses a number of
excellent restaurants whose rule is
moderate prices, and where fine
wines of domestic production figure
on every bill of fare. To think at
a distance of a dinner at one such
restaurant is to conjure up a vision
of a dinner in France out of one of
the elder Dumas' novels and to put
an excellent cigar between the teeth
of each gormandizing actor in the
story. You know Dumas serves
up some gorgeous feasts in his
novels. Well, the good dinners to
be had in the restaurants of Cali-
fornia and Oregon are real, the
wines are as good as those of France,
the cigars are five hundred per cent,
better than are usually obtainable
in the restaurants and cafes of Paris,
and the people who eat the dinners,
drink the wines and smoke the ci-

impossibility, and were a vote for '"•"'^V''^^^ "■> established vogue
a national flower thereupon to be
taken, it is likely that the flower of
the tobacco plant would be chosen,
as my friend hopes.
But let me say a word or two
about the merits as a national em-
blem of the little known Indian's
paint brush. The flower of the to-
bacco plant would be distasteful to
in Portland speak of the cigar job-
bers of that city in terms of enthus
iastic approval all the time, and
all writers for the tobacco trade
press are as familiar with the names
of the large jobbers of Portland as
though they were household words
—they hear them mentioned so
often, and always in terms of such
mauy women who dislike tobacco, ""■"J'""""''''!?,'?''""""''"'™
■and in a matter such « ,hlc .,.: ^^^ ''"^"'"^ ^'"'">' "f ""ese far
western wholesalers of cigars is so
THE ANSWER.
If not the flower of the tobacco
plant, then the Indian 's paint brush.
I know each flower well, and if the
selection of a national flower were
left to my casting vote I should
hesitate long between them. My
people have known both longer!
than the white man has known
and in a matter such as this the
women would have to be con-
sidered. I think the ladies, one and
all, would love the Indian's paint
brush. It is a plant about one foot
high, with small slender leaves of
a somewhat brilliant green, and the
flower itself is a very intense red.

Ever since the purchase of the
Roth, Bruner & Feist business by
the American Tobacco Co. which
was announced in The Tobacco
World just four weeks before it
gained publicity in any other weekly
or daily journal, the independent
jobbers in manufactured tobaccos
of New York city have been trying
to get a new cheroot. The War
Eagle was the only cheroot these
jobbers handled and now that it has
become the property of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co.. they have no
alternative but to get a new cheroot
or to buy the War Eagle of the
Metropolitan Tobacco Co., which
is the distributing arm for Greater

What to Do to be Saved.
A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.
Conditions in the cigar and leaf
trades are changing all the time,
and the cause of it all is said to be
the competition of the great cigar
manufacturing syndicate of New
York city.
The leaf dealers and cigar manu-
facturers who are already rich
enough to live upon the interest of
their accumulated capital; the mid-
dle sized man in each trade who is
youthful and ambitious and who
has fortune to make, and the small
man who is only a little better oflF
than the leaf peddler or the cigar
maker working at the bench for
wages, ali these, and many scores of
thousands of other persons beside,
regard the big syndicates, some with
awe and apprehension, and all with
interest.
Admittedly, the problem before
the independent leaf dealer is to
keep his customer, the cigar manu-
facturer, in business, while the task
before the cigar manufacturer is to
keep himself and his brands afloat.
It is only when conditions in both
these trades are healthful and
j normal that all concerned are con-
! tented. Those who are longest as
sociated with the leaf trade or the
cigar manufacturing industry of the
United States, and who are there-
fore best able to form a cool judg-
ment, say that the time will never
come when the tobacco trade of the
, United States will be in the hands
of a single corporation, like one of
the European regies. At the same
time they admit that the great syn-
dicates are at present producing
enormous quantities of cigars each,
while getting ready to increase their
manufacturing facilities in every
possible way. Every cigar made
I by either of these syndicates over
and above the total number made
by all its constituents prior to the
consolidation, is just so much taken
I from the producing capacity of other
manufacturers. But the fact must
not be overlooked that the enorm-
ous amount of advertising done in
every section of the United States
by the syndicates, while helping
their own business, tends directly
to increase the general consumption
of cigars. It is literally true that
as the result of keeping cigars con-
spicuously before the eyes of the
people "those now smoke who
never smoked before, while those
who always smoked now smoke the
more." Neither must it be forgotten
that it is by no means to the profit
of the syndicates to have their ad-
vertised brands sold at retail below
the advertised price.
As buyers of leaf tobacco, whether
in the United States, in Holland or
in Cuba, the great manufacturing
corporations are most welcome to
the tobacco growers, because they
j pay liberal prices and never "dock"
[ or kick. Besides, of course, they
buy enormous quantities. Fortun-
ately nature is so bountiful of to-
bacco,and crops recur so frequently,
that no "corner" in cigar leaf to-
bacco need be feared.
And this brings us to the begin-
ning of the solution of the problem
of what to do to be saved. The
more years people spend in solving
the problem the more surely will it
be solved, for to keep a-going, is in
a nutshell the whole matter.
Cigar manufacturersarenumbered
by the thousand on the books of
the internal revenue collectors
throughout the country. Cigar-
makers we have by the ten thou-
sands, cigar brands by scores of
thousands. The total number of
dealers in cigar leaf tobacco in New
York city, in Philadelphia, in th«
cities of Lancaster and Bucks
counties. Pa., in Cincinnati, in
Chicago, in St. Louis and other
centers cannot exceed 2,000 all told.
Almost every one of these seeks to
live and prosper through the pros-
perity of independent manufacturers
and the manufacturer can prosper
only if he can hold his own trade.
Besides their capital, the two great
assets of the big syndicates are
brains and industry. Whatever
they do is done with intelligence
and with all their might. Now
every man who is in any way in
business has some ambition, some
intelligence, and if he hasn't any
capital of his own, has credit which
amounts to the same thing. To
utilize capital or credit wisely, to
keep ambition well within leash,
and to persist in cultivating natural
intelligence in every possible way,
and to direct it all to one purpose,
namely, the purpose to get on in
the world, is the surest way to
achieve success. And then, keep
cheerful. Don't let your customer
forget you. Find the leaf dealer
who is an honest man, fortunately
most of them are that, learn all
that he knows about domestic cigar
leaf, or Cuban or Sumatra leaf, and
some of them know a lot; employ
this knowledge and all other auxil-
ary knowledge in the conduct of
your business, and you need not
fear the fate of the pitiable people
of St. Pierre, Martinique, for no

QUAKER CITY'S BUDGET.
BRIGHTER PROSPECTS IN PHIL-
ADBLPHIA.
Some improvement has been
shown in the local trade during the
past week. The larger cigar man
ufacturers are all well filled with
orders; in fact, one of the very
largest is at present nearly 1,000,
000 oversold. A representative of
this house who quite recently re-
turned to this city from a business
trip, stated that the only difficulty
which he had to contend with was
in keeping the trade satisfied with
the quantity of goods which he
could promise them, but which in
many instances was not nearly so
many as had been desired. He was
obliged to limit the quantities
promised for fut«re deliveries owing
to the fact that enough goods could
not be turned out by his house in
the time they were desired, even
with the present extensive facilities,
and intimated that it was just possi
ble that an additional factory would
be soon opened.
He also gave us to understand
that from his personal observation
he firmly believed that every cigar
manufacturer of an established
reputation, andJi whose goods had
been at all popularized by good live
advertising, could; go out at the
present time, and secure sufficient
orders to keep him running for
many months.
"There never was a time" con
tinued he, "when a cigar of merit
could be so readily sold as at the
present time," but wifh me it was
not a question of^ how many were
wanted, but how small a quantity
could the customer get along on."
In view of the]^desultory reports
received for some weeks past the
above comes as an encouraging bit
of news, and from a person of the
highest repute and standing in the
trade.
DIFFICULTY AT COUNTRY FACTORIES
About fifty cigar makers employed
at a country factory of a Philadel
pbia firm of cigar manufacturers
went on a strike some days ago.
The factory foreman had been in
the habit of giving out a supply of
tobacco for a days work in the even-
ing, to each cigar maker, upon
whom then fell the necessity of
keeping it in good working condi-
tion foi the following day. To this
the cigar makers objected, and
entered a strenuous protest to the
foreman, who acquiesced, and
promised them supplies of tobacco
as needed, and then advised the
proprietors of his action. The pro-
prietors were not well pleased with
this action by him, and instructed
the foreman by wire that he must
return to the old methods. The
foreman did as he was told, and a
strike has resulted.
The proprietor has been advised
by fellow manufacturers, that they
thought it would be mutual advan-
tage to accede to the demands of the
cigarmakers in that instance, and
iie will probably do so, which would
settle the strike.

WILLIE SHEPHERD IS A HAPPY
PAPA.
We have it on good authority
that on Satuarday May 17, Wm. F.
Shepherd, of Samuel Shepherd &
Son, cigar and tobacco jobbers at
1520 Market street, was presented
with a 14 pound boy, a typical
Shepherd. Mr. Shepherd is one of
the most popular of the younger
men in the trade and has been the
recipient of many congratulations.
The little fellow is very apt and
it said that he is already figuring
out schemes and trade discounts,
which are causing his father and
"grandpa" many sleepless nights.
What a comfort he will be when he
gets older.

engaged to play a part created for
him in the piece called "Youth."

in Philadelphia this week.
IN THU I,EAF CIRCLBS,
LEAF DEALERS LOOKING CHEERFUL
The leaf dealers are looking much
more cheerful this week with the
slight improvement which the trade
has experienced.
Oscar G. Boehm, of Bremer Bros.
& Boehm, is among these. He re-
turned from up the state last week
with orders aggregating i6o cases
Wisconsin tobaccos.
L. G. Haeussermann is also
happy after a short visit to Balti-
more, where he did quite nicely.
Charles Hippie is wearing a 7
by 9 smile he is so tickled with a
new lot of Connecticut wrappers
which Hippie Bros, have just re-
ceived.
JOHN B. HEIL CO'S NEW SALESMAN.
The John B. Heil Co. has en
gaged Martin H. Myers as an ad-
ditional salesman. Mr. Myers
makes his first trip for this house up
the state this week.
LATE ARRIVALS OF HAVANA.
E. A. Calves & Co. have just re-
ceived 270 bales of Havana to- !
baccos, representing a portion of
the purchases of fine goods made by
Mr Dominguez while recently in
Cuba.
GEO. W. NEWMAN IN THE WEST.
Geo. W. Newman, of Young &
Newman, who is still in the west is
reported to be doing quite nicely.
J. E Plummet, of the firm's selling
force, is also said to have done nice-
ly in New York city last week.
! F. ECKERSON & CO'S OFFERING
The announcement of F. Ecker-
son & Co. on page 9 of this issue
should be carefully read. Mr.
i Eckerson refers particularly to his
! stock of 1900 Connecticut wrappers,
which represent some of the lightest
and finest crops grown. Their hold-
ing of choice "Newburgh Zimmer"
are also bound to attract attention,
while their Havana tobaccos are
such as could be purchased only by
the most discriminate buyers and
excellent judges of tobacco quality.
Their announcement is certainly
well worth perusing. \
FREVER & EISENLOHR TO DISSOLVE
The announcement that the ex-
tensive leaf tobacco packing firm of
Freyer & Eisenlohr was to be dis-
solved came as a surprising rumor
last week, but it was not until yes-
terday that the news was confirmed
by the firm.
The dissolution will take place in
the near future, or as soon as the
pending transactions are completed,
after which the business will be con-
tinued by Mr. Henry T. Freyer.
Mr. August C. Eisenlohr will as-
sociate himself with the well known
cigar manufacturing firm of O.
Eisenlohr & Bros., of this city.
LEAF TRADE VISITORS.
Among the week's visitors are
Ed. Sommers, Quakertown, M.
Bauml, with I. J. Schoener & Co ,
New York; G. F. Schnath, with
Schroeder & Arguimbau, New
York; Wm. Newgass, of Newgass

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The inactivity of the local mar
ket, which was of several weeks
standing, has been somewhat re-
lieved during the past eight days.
A large volume of business could
have been done had the supply of
such tobaccos as were sought for
been larger. As compared with
the corresponding week of last year,
the leaf market this year is about as
good as it was a year ago, and it at
least promises to become somewhat
livelier very s on; in fact, a change
for the better is believed to have al-
ready set in.
Sumatra is not specially spirited,
yet comparatively fair. Sample bale
orders are more or less plentiful,
with an occasional good sized sale
following.
The Havana market is satisfac-
tory, generally speaking. Manu-
facturers now seem to want at least
a moderate supply of desirable leaf,
EXPORTS,

The attention of the readers of
The Tobacco World is courteously
directed to the advertisement of
Schroeder & Arguimbau on the first
page.
The advertisers guarantee that
all torn leaves and poor colors are
excluded from their high grade to-
baccos and that all hands in any
one package are absolutely uniform
in length and in color.

The Indispensable
Selector.
One of the large clear Havana
cigar manufacturing concerns in
New York city was thrown out of
gear one day last week through a
desertion by one of its selectors.
The house employs four selectors
and just now is panting for breath
in its efforts to keep up with orders.
The selector who abandoned his
job in this particular factory was
"pinched" by a rival manufacturer

selectors are few and very hard to
replace. Consequently, for a few
days at least, the output of the boss
who had been left in the lurch by
one of his four selectors, was cur-
tailed just twenty-five per cent.
A new selector has been found,
however, and now the factory is
running smoothly once more.

Old Havana- American Co.
Hon. W. J. Magie, Chancellor
of New Jersey, on May 19, handed
down an order in the matter of the
dissolution of the old Havana
American Company. The court
asked upon the motion of Isidore
Hernsheine, Sol Rosener, Eugene
Vallens, Edward Manrara, Harry
S. Rothschild, William J. Seiden
berg, Ernest EHinger, Remigio
Lopez, Trujillo and William H.
Brearley, trustees on dissolution.
The matter had been heard by Vice
Chancellor Pitney.
The order of the court is that on
June 9 next, the holders of the com
raon stock and the holders of pre
ferred stock whose shares have been
fully paid, shall appear before the
court in Jersey City to show cause,
if any they have, why the prayer of
the trustees for the dissolution of
the company shall not be granted.
At that hearing the $10000 fee
of Einstein & Townsend. and Horn-
blower, Byrne, Miller & Potter will
probably be paid as the trustees
have recommended.
The court will also then deter-
mine what disposition is to be made
of the sum of $10,360.55, the share
of the assets of the old Havana
American Co., to which Sigmund
Rosen wald is entitled by reason of
his ownership of 100 shares of its
preferred stock, and which he has
heretofore refused to accept.
LANCASTER GOSSIP.
There has been quite a calm after
the activity of the two or three past
weeks, during which several thous
and cases changed hands. But it is
rumored that some more good sized
transactions are now pending.
Some driving through the coun
try sections is yet being done; but
many buyers report that a very
small amount of tobacco remains in
the hands of growers.
There is every indication a of
good acreage of tobacco being set
in Lancaster county this year.
Late reports indicate a general
improvement in cigar manufactur-
ing in this section.

The wholesale dealers in this city
have lately bten complaining some
what of trade. At present, how
ever, some little improvement can
be noted.
Some of the retail dealers report
a fair trade, while with others it is
comparatively quiet.
Several of the larger manufactur-
ers are well filled with orders, while
some of the smaller ones are con
templating the adoption of the
Union label on their goods, believ-
ing that it would help their sale,
which would no doubt be true

C. H. Klemm & Son, who have-
been for many years on N. Calvert
street, are having a fair trade, which
at present is increasing.
A short time ago Freeman Bros.
& Co. placed a new cigar upon the
market, in the shape of a clear Ha-
vana filler retailing at five cents.
It is made under the title of "Man-
uel Nebo," and has already gained
a strong foothold in parts of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia
and South Carolinia, and also in
the East. In fact, the factory is
over sold on this particular brand.

THB 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 fact, 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 f:ict 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 edge
instead of a mashing cut
edge 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 way 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 at the
earliest possible moment,
reasons and other facts
'X
iiih
'KSimiiii ?;h '!!•'
J
There are other
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.

Adolfo Moeller while away in the

Cigar Factories.
H. Upmann & Co. — One of the
oldest and best known factories in
Havana, "La Madama," (nearly 60
years old), cannot complain of any
lack of orders, as every bench is
occupied and they are running away
behind on filling orders. For France
this year they have shipped already
four times the quantity of cigars
which they did last year, and in
other countries they also report a
gratifying increase of business as
compared with i^oi. In order to j
fill some rush orders they applied
to the Alcalde (Mayor) to grant
them the privilege to work on Sun-
day and Monday, May 18 and 19.
The latter day has also been declared
a holiday, so there will be five (if
Sunday is included) in the week to
come, from the i8th to the 22d.
This factory is carrying one of the
largest stocks of the finest leaf —
particularly in wrappers — so they
are prepared to fill all orders com-
ing to them.
j TheHenry Clay and Bock & Co.,
H. de Cabanas y Carvajal, and Mar-
quez de Rabell also have enough
orders on hand to keep them busy,
notwithstanding the usually dull
season at this period of the year.

The firm of A. S. Valentine &
Son, cigar manufacturersatWomels-
dorf, has never been as busy in the
history of the factory as they are at
the present time, and the big in-
crease for the past few years has
been on their leading and popular
locent brands, which are shipped
all over the country. The employes
on the high class grades are work-
ing every night in the week.
E. G. Readinger recently in-
creased his force of cigarmakers, as
he has a rush of orders. He oper-
ates a union factory and enjoys a |
I large local trade. His Royal Five
brand leads in sales. Mr. Readinger
regards the trade outlook as very
favorable.
John G. Spatz now traveling in
the west, has sent a number of large
orders to his factory in this city.
He reports business good in that
section and says it will be a big
year for the cigar trade.

ORDERS FROM THE JOBBING TRADE SOLICITED.
F. V. Speier, of this city, is repre-

their goods here and on the road
A display of the firm's leading
brands in made in the windows of
Kerper's cigar store, 5 10 Pennstreet.
. The cigar box factory of George
Weidman, located at Brickersville,
was destroyed by fire. Milton
Weidman, a son of the proprietor
started a fresh fire in the boiler, and
in some manner the building caught
fire. The factory was 2 story frame
structure, 40 by 120 feet, and the
entire plant was destroyed. Mr.
Weidman 's residence, close to the
factory, had a narrow escape. The
property was partly insured. Loss
$3,500.
Frank Ream, 527 PennMreet, has
notified Collector Cranston, that he
will engage in the leaf tobacco
business, in connection with cigar
manufacturing.
Henry F. Fidler, senior m«mber
of the firm of H. F. Fidler & Co.,
cigar manufacturers, made a few
days' trip through the coal regions
and secured a few orders. Business
is at a standstill in these regions,
owing to the present strike of the
coal miners. Many agents have
packed their samples and left for
other parts.
Luther Goodhart, proprietor of
Fueller's cigar store, one of the
most complete in its appointments
in Reading, has opened a bowling
alley at his place of business. The
Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co.,
constructed the alley, which is the
finest here. This is an innovation
in cigar stores here, and is well
patronized.
M. S. Taylor, formerly of the M.
S. Taylor Tobacco Co., has opened
a wholesale and retail cigar and to-
bacco store at 7 South 9th street, in
the Dibert Building. The place has
been neatly furnished throughout.
Mr. Taylor is introducing a new
brand made for himself called the
New Boulevard, which is making a
hit. He has secured the rights for
a 7ounce lunch box filled with
smoking mixture which he retails
and wholesales.
The cigar business here is some
what dull, perhaps due to the coal
strike. Many agents have returned
home, especially those who do most
of their selling in the coal regions.
The prospects for the fall trade,
however, are very good.

Very few sales of new tobacco are
reported from this locality. A large
quantity was bought last week in
the upper edge of Montgomery and
in Miami and Darke counties at 5

Zimmer. While these prices are
of the plant beds and in some local-
ities the plants are so forward that
transplanting will be started the
first week in June, and seems likely
to crowd the work of growers in

In reply to the inquiry of a prom-

as to whether they could redeem
emptied snuflFpackages(paper packs,
weasands, tin cans, glass bottles,
tumblers, etc.), and again use them
in packing snuff, after effacing all
evidence of previous use, the Com-
missioner called the attention of the
parties interested to Section 3363,
R. S., which requires that the cau-
tion notice label shall distinctly
stare that "the manufacturer of this
tobacco has complied with all re-
quirements of law. Every person
is cautioned, under the penalties of
law, not to use this package for to-
bacco again;" and also to Section
3376, R. S. , 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 of
any kind; and, further, that every
manufacturer or other person who
puts tobacco or snuff into any such
box, bag, vessel, wrapper or en-
velope, the same having been
emptied, or partially emptied, will
be subject to a fine and to imprison-
ment. Therefore, the office decides
that any advertising scheme which
has for its purpose the return to the
manufacturer of the stamped pack-
ages would be in violation of law,
and any emptied package found at
the factory so branded, marked, la-
beled, or stamped as to show previ-
ous use would subject the manufac-
turer to the penalties prescribed by
the statute.
Whenever any stamped box, bag,
vessel, wrapper, or envelope of any
kind, containing tobacco or snuff is
emptied, the statute requires that
the stamp thereon shall be destroyed
by the person who has possession of
such emptied box, bag, vessel or
wrapper, and every person who
willfully neglects to destroy the
stamp will be subject to a fine of
I50 and imprisonment of not less
than ten days nor more than six
months, as provided by the statute.
Pasteboard Box for Ping Tobacco.
A company recently organized to
manufacture tobacco submitted for
approval, under Section 3362, Re-
vised Statutes, and the Regulations,
No. 8, page 40, a sample box of
heavy pasteboard, intended to be
used as a statutory package for
packing from one to five pounds of
plug or twist tobacco. It was ad-
vised that the box was approved
and that similar packages could be
used, but that it would not be neces-
sary for the stamp affixed to a
pasteboard box containing not more
than five pounds of tobacco to be
canceled by the use of a steel die»
which was required when the to-
bacco was put up in a wooden box,
but that the manufacturer would be
required to write or imprint upon
each stamp his name and date of
use, to include the month and year,,
which stamp must be so applied as
to seal the package to prevent the
contents from being removed with-
out destroying the stamp. Atten-
tion was called to the regulations
which provide that where the pack-
age contains one pound or more,
and a fractional part of a pound, the
manufacturer may use a stamp of
the denomination of one to four
pounds, and a one-ounce coupon
stamp, which has attached fifteen
coupons representing one ounce
each. If necessary, on account of
the character of the package, or if
the manufacturer is unable to pro-
cure plug tobacco stamps suitable
for use on such packages , he may
procure from the collector stamps
issued for the payment of tax on
smoking tobacco. Attention was
also called to Treasury Decision No.
97, dated April 13, 1900, which
provides that the manufacturer may
have the caution notice label in form
prescribed by Section 3362, Revised
Statutes, and the Regulations, No.
8, page 41, printed directly upon
the package, or he may affix to such
packages, by pasting, the usual
caution notice label. It was also
advised that the statute requires
that every wooden package contain-
ing plug or twist tobacco shall have
printed or marked thereon the man-
ufacturer's name and place of manu-
facture, the registered number, the
gross weight, the tare and the net
weight, but that this does not apply
to pasteboard boxes or packages
other than wooden, approved as
substitutes, and containing not less
than one nor more than five pounds
of tobacco, and that such marking
was not necessary on such paste-
board boxes.

The gracious shades of Benjamin land an inglorious exile from his April and the beginning of May of stricken Americans managed to de-

which tobacco played in the great I
game for the liberties of the Amer-

Franklin comes out of the mists
of the past dressed in that famous
full dress suit of spotted brown
velvet which he wore when he was
arraigned before the privy council
of His Britannic Majesty, King
George III. for the surreptitious
publication of theso-called Hutchin-
son Letters in 1774, and which he
deemed good enough to wear at one
of Marie Antionette's card parties
at theTuileriesin 1776. It's a pity
that suit of clothes has not been
preserved, because I have an idea
the white spots in the brown velvet !
would look a good deal like spotted
cigar wrapper leaf. |
Beaumarchais blows away the
shadows which hide him from our
eyes with a kiss from his fingers,
and then resumes his stroll in
Elysium with the great sage whose
CO worker on our behalf he was in
those momentous days when the
fate of the Continentals hung upon

New Corporation Acquires the Ha-
vana Commercial and the Henry
Clay& Bock Co.
The Havana Tobacco Company,
incorporated at Trenton, N. J., on
May 28, with a capital stock of $35,-
000,000, has acquired the Havana
Commercial Co., the Henry Clay &
Bock Co. Ltd., and the Hijos de
Cabanas y Cavarjal businesses of
the city of Havana. The new com-
pany's stock is divided into $5,000,-
000 5 per cent, non-cumulative pre-
ferred shares and $30,000,000 com-
mon shares, and it will have $10,-
000,000 of twenty years 5 per cent,
gold bonds, of which $2,500,000
remain for the present in its trea-
sury.
The Havana Tobacco Co. has
been organized and is controlled by
the American and Continental To
bacco interests. Among the direc-
tors who will be elected are James
B. Duke, John B. Cobb, Oliver H.
Payne, Thomas F. Ryan, Anthony
N. Brady, Grant B. Schley, P. A.
B. Widener, Frank H. Ray, R. A.
C. Smith, H. B. Hollins, R. R.
Covin, John C. Tomllnson and
other gentlemen, some represent-
ing strong financial institutions and
others prominent in the tobacco and
cigar industry, whose names will
be announced later. |
It is possible that matters will so
shape themselves that the new com-
pany will eventually be merged
with the new Havana American
Company. The Hijos de Cabanas
y Cavarjal interest, which was ac
quired several months ago, is al
ready domiciled at 1 11 Fifth avenue,
New York.
The Havana Tobacco Company
will take over the securities of the
Havana Commercial Company on
the following terms: Sixty shares
of preferred stock and 40 shares of
common stock of the Havana To
bacco Company for each 100 shares
of preferred stock of the Havana
Commercial Company, and 40
shares of common stock of the Ha-
vana Tobacco Company for each
100 shares of common stock of the
Havana CommercialCompany. The
Guaranty Trust Company issued a
circular on May 28 to the stock-
holders of the Havana Commercial
Company, announcing that the Re
organization Committee of that
company had been dissolved with-
out formulating a plan and that
depositors are entitled to withdraw
the shares of stock of the Havana
Commercial Company deposited by
them with the trust company with-
out cost. The holders of more than
a majority of both the preferred and
common stock of the Havana Com-
mercial Company have redeposited
their shares with the Guaranty
Trust Company for exchange as
above, and opportunity is extended
to the minority stockholders to ac-
cept the terms.
The final fate of the Havana Com-
pany and the Henry Clay & Bock
Co., with whose concerns every to-
bacco trade paper in London and
New York— exceptingThe Tobacco
Word — has been filled, was never
in doubt wi«h those who have fol i
lowed the trend in all these big
deals. The only reason things hung
I fire so long was that a certain fin-
ancial institution in New York city,
which held the casting vote, that
is a controlling interest in the Ha-
vana Commercial, hesitated long
before making use of its privilege.
It is said the Havana Commercial
and the Universal Tobacco Co. each
held an equal share of stock in the
Henry Clay & Bock Co., and that
the financial institution referred to
held the balance. Rumor had it
for a while that Frank Tilford, of
Park & Tilford, who is one of the
directors in the Universal Tobacco
Co., held this controlling interest,
j but this is denied emphatically by
a Wall street magnate who is thor-
oughly well posted as to the whole
matter.
On May 28, after the acquisition
by the interests at 1 1 1 Fifth avenue
of the Havana Commercial and the
Henry Clay & Bock Co., was an-
nounced, American Tobacco Co.
stock sold in the Broad street curb
market at 310 and closed at 325 bid |
— an advance of 25 points over the
bid price of the day before. Ha-
vana Commercial common stock
advanced to 20 and the preferred
stock to 60. On the New York
Stock Exchange, Continental To-
bacco preferred rose to 123 and
closed at 1*2; 2, or one and a half
points above the closing price of
the day before.
The Continental Tobacco Co.,
declared a dividend on its common
stock of 2>^ per cent, on May 29.
This makes 7 per cent, on the com-
mon declared since last December.

Organized Labor in the
Cigar Trade.
SCRANTON, Pa., May 26, 1902.
Dbar Medicine Man:
The strike of the anthracite coal
miners in Pennsylvania having
directed public attention to organ-
ized labor in that Seld I am tempted
to ask you to tell me something
about organized labor in the cigar
trade. I do not mean the Unions at
Tampa and Key West.
Seed and Havana Man.
THH ANSWER.
My friend appears to have refer-
etice to the Cigar Makers' Inter
national Union of America.
The first cigar makers' union to
be organized in the United States
was formed on May 5, 1851, at Bal
timore, at that time one of the lead-
ing centers of the trade. Other
unions of cigar makers were formed
in 1852 and 1853 A general meet
ing, looking toward the organiza
tion of an international union, was
held in Philadelphia in 1863 and
on June 21, 1864. an organization
known as the Cigar Makers'
National Union was formed in New
York city. Anthony Zeitler, of
Albany, N. Y., was the president
At the fourth annual convention,
which was held at Buffalo, N Y.,
September 2. 1867. the organization
took the name The Cigar Makers'
International Union of America,
which it has continued to bear ever
since. The organization did not
prosrer during the enduing ten
years. At the convention held at
Rochester, N. Y., in September.
1877, Adolph Strasser was elected
president. He held this office until
1891, and succeeded in making the 1
organization powerful and effective. '
The International Union has at
present a membership of about 30,-
000. The initiation fee is $3, and
the weekly dues are 30 cents. The
union pays the following benefits:
$5 per week in case of a strike, I3
ptr week out of work benefit, $5
per week sick benefit, death bene-
fit ranging from | 'oo to $550. ac-
cording to length of membership,
I50 funeral benefit, wife and
widowed mother funeral benefit,
and traveling loan benefit.
The blue label of the union is
furnished free to all manufacturers
who comply with the laws, rules
and regulations of the union.

The White Buffalo Cow— together
with a package of four grains of
maize of different colors This corn
sprang from the milk which dropped
from her udder, and was thus, with
the flesh of the buffalo itself, ap-
pointed from the beginning to be
the food of the red tribes. "She
taught the people to call her 'Grand
mother,' a reverential title among
Indians, and after leading them to
her relatives, the buffalo, she faded
from their sight as they stood gaz-
ing at her."
The States from the Cigar
Man's Point of View,
*
Indian Pipe Myths.
In answer to Munroe Levi, of
Adelaide, N. S. W.:
According to tradition, there are
various myths to account for the
origin of the pipe.
The Arapahoes believe that their
sacred pipe was delivered to them
by the Duck, which was discovered
swimming about on the top of the
, water afttr the Turtle had brought
the earth up from under the water.
An ear of corn was given to them
at the same time The Arapahoes
lost the art of agriculture about the
time they went to hunting buffaloes
on the plains. The pipe, the Turtle
and the ear of corn were long ago
turned to stone and have ever since
been preserved by the Arapahoes as
their great medicine.
The Cheyenne myth resembles
that of the Arapahoes but requires
four smokes (nights) in its delivery.
No one but the Priest of the Pipe
dares to recite it; it is considered so
sacred that should an error b« made
in its narration divine punishment
will fall on its narrator.
According to the Sioux tradition,
the sacred pipe was brought to them
WASHINGTON.
XLVI.
And so our travels are about to
end in far off Washington. No
cigar traveler ever found himself
in a more congenial atmosphere
Washington, in 1900, had a popu-
lation of 517,672, or nearly double
the population it had in 1890, and
the population of Seattle, which in
181,0 was 42,873, had increased by
1900 to 80.671.
Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma are
cities which smell sweet in the nos-
trils of every man who loves a fine
cigar, and it is literally true that in
each of these cities the air, in spots
at least, is blue with cigar smoke.
The combined population of Seattle,
Spokane and Tacoma is 155.233,
just a trifle less than the population
of St. Paul, Minn. St. Paul is, as
we know, a very good cigar city,
yet, owing to the higher average
cost of the cigars smoked in Seattle,
in Spokane, and in Tacoma it is
doubtful if St. Paul spends more
money for cigars during the course
of a year than does any one of the
three good cities of Washington.
The taste in cigars of the people
of Washington, like that of the
people of Oregon, was modeled
upon that of the people of San
Francisco, and those who are most
familiar with the trade in Washing
ton agree in saying that it is even
a refinement upon the original, for |
in Washington no poor cigar has
ever had a show. The smokers of
the state are no fonder of throwing
away their money than are the
smokers of other states, but they
incontestably have a most discrim-
inating taste, and will put between
their lips only the very best the
market affords. An enthusiastic
admirer of the cigar smokers of
Seattle said the other day that the
people there know more about ci
gars than do the people of Havana.
This may be an exaggeration, but
the man who said it knew Havana
long before he knew Seattle. In
Havana, he says, there is an evident
predilection for heavy cigars; in
Seattle the general demand is for
a light, delicately flavored, well-
made cigars, such as may be smoked
with equal zest either in the seclu-
sion of one's chamber or in the open
air. In short, in the opinion of the
gentleman here referred to, the ci-
gar tastes of the people of Havana
are somewhat crude, or perhaps it
is the climate which is to blame.
At any rate, it is his opinion that
the best of all possible ways to fix
the merits of a cigar is to send it to
Washington. If it takes with the
smokers there, he is prepared to
guarantee that it will be a success
all over the United States.
And herewith thisseries of articles
on the states from the cigar man's
point of view fitly concludes.
What to do to be Saved.
A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions in tlie Citfar and
Leaf Trade.
II.
The two great home made insti-
tutions which are literally in the
mouths of the people, more or less
all the time, are the great American
pie and the great American domestic
cigar. A pie is a pie, but a cigar is
a — salad. Pies are made according
to formula. Cigars also, but the
difference is this: How to make a
palatable pie may be learned in one
lesson, but it takes a lifetime to
learn how to make an acceptable ci-
gar. In this fact, and it is a fact
deserving to be spelled with the
largest kind of an F, lies the salva-
tion of the cigar industry and the
leaf trade. An individual or a
corporation can make acceptable ci-
gars by the hundred million, it is
true, but the man who understands
tobacco and how to blend it in his
cigars; who, moreover, understands
theartof packing them to advantage,
and who, besides, is an enterprising
and capable salesman, need have no
fear, now or at any time, of the
competition of the big people or the
great corporations. The public to
which all manufacturers of cigars
[appeal is at all times not only just
but exacting. It is looking for the
best cigar all the time, and with
discriminating assiduity, and while
attractiveadvertising will invariably
succeed in inducing the public to
give attention to an advertised
brand, it will not make the public
keep on buying the brand unless the
brand is found to be better than
everything else.
The public to which competing
cigar manufacturers cater is the
largest public in the United States.
Each individual in it has his own
preferences, his own predilections,
his own prejudices. He may not
take the extreme revenge for a poor
cigar which Tops, the elephant, took

Wrapper Cutter and Vacmini 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 ha^
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-

is evidence ol the superiority of the

for one which was proflfered her on
May 38 last, but if he does not kill
the iHan who hands him the cigar,
he may be relied upon to kill the
brand. Always bear in mind that
the cigar is a salad. Bear in mind,
also, that Americans are the best
judges of cigars in the world. Put
into your cigars the best tobacco
that your money or your credit will
enable you to buy. Take care that
each cigar is made by a competent
cigarmaker; that it is packed to ad-
vantage; keep in constant touch
with the retailer who handles your
brand; learn from him what it is
that his trade demands; do on a
scale commensurate with your
means, whatever the big people are
doing. Advertise your brand in the
local paper, and keep it posted on
the billboards of your town, and
above all, make your cigars, from
year to year, as uniform as possible.
In almost every good iized town
in the United States there is some
cigar manufacturer who has the un-
failing confidence of the smokers in
his vicinage, people who are as
loyal to his cigars as they are to
their own families. If you are not
one of these fortunate manufacturers,
try to be one. You will find that
the public will respond to your ef-
forts with a cheerful alacrity that
will carry you off your feet. Ask
any long-established manufacturer
of your acquaintance if ever, during
his whole career, he has found the
people to whom he caters to be
fickle. You will find him answer-
ing in the negative. He will tell
you further, if he has time to enlarge
upon the subject, that not only has
his public been faithful to him, but
that every individual man who is
pleased with his cigars has acted as
a voluntary and most effective press
agent for his brand.
No, the day will never come when
the maker of a good salad, i e., a
first class cigar, need despair of the
future. The business is now, as it
has been for the past twelve years
in a most healthy condition, the ci-
gar manufacturer has his leaf bill,
his box bill, his label bill, his wages
bill, and his rent bill all paid long
before his cigars leave the shop.
The ambitious man will read the
following statement made to the
writer recently by one of the best |
known cigar salesmen in the United
States with peculiar interest. Said j
the salesman: |
"I am holding the same job with
my present employers, who are I
among the very largest of the large j
manufacturing concerns in the !
country, just as I have held it for'
the past ten years, and at the same
large salary, but I think I can see
my finish. My house advertises its
brands in the most general and the
most lavish manner. The result to
me is that I have a sort of an un-
comfortable feeling, a sort of gone-
ness at the pit of my stomach. I
seem to feel that my occupation is
going from me. Instead of consid-
ering myself, as I did formerly, a
first class salesman, I am disposed
to look upon myself now merely as
one who delivers the goods. The
big advertising done by my house
spares me a world of talking, it is
true, but I don't like it. It makes
me the fifth wheel, as it were, and
we all know how much use the
wagoner has for the fifth wheel."
If things are shaping themselves
according to the foreboding of the
man who has just been faithfully
quoted, there promises to be a great
deal of salesmanship talent at the
command of the ambitious medium-
sized cigar manufacturer very soon.
These men have a vital interest in
the prosperity of independent manu-
facturers. Some of them have al-
ready gone into business on their
own account, are prospering and
will continue to prosper; but others,
and there are many of these others,
are dubious of their own future, and
will welcome a chance to keep on in
the old way with new employers.
They all have valuable trade con-
nections; they know cigars better
than anybody else, that is, they
know better than any one else what
kind of cigars will sell and what
kind won't; they are not afraid of
the big people's competition, or, if
they are afraid of it, will work all
the harder to overcome it. No one
knows better than they that a cigar
is a salad, and that, to conclude the
metaphor, it is their arts which
supply the oil to make the salad ac-
ceptable.
If you make clear Havana cigars,
make clear Havana cigars. If you
make the other kind, then put all
the Havana possible into the filler.
This is what the cigar smoking
public expects of you, now that the
war with Spain is over, and Havana
tobacco is getting cheap, with the
prospect of getting cheaper still.
The American stomach is delicate,
the American brain is forever work-
ing under pressure. Both crave ci-
gars of easy draught, of fine work-
manship and delicate aroma.
Band every cigar you make. This
will foil the dishonest retailer who
is in the habit of refilling his boxes,
or of substituting for a popular,
high-priced cigar, one that is un-
known and cheap.

Edward Hey man Dead,
Edward Hey man, of the well-
known cigar manufacturing firm of
Heyman Bros & Loewenstein, died
suddenly of cerebral hemorrhage at
his home, 239 West 51st street,
New York city, on May 29 The
deceased gentleman had been in
delicate health for a number of years
past.
Edward Heyman was born in
Tarrylown in New York, in 1849.
He served his apprenticeship in the
trade with which he ever after was
connected in a retail cigar store con-
ducted by his father on 8th avenue
near 2 2d street. At 20 years of age
he and his present partner, Louis
Loewenstein, started a cigar store on
2d avenue near 30th street, and a
few years afterward they purchased
the store at 383 4th avenue, opposite
the then depot of the Hudson River
and Harlem railroad. In its day
this was one of the most profitable
retail cigar stoies in the United
States. Upon the removal of the
depot to 42d street the young men '
sold their store and went into the
leaf business in Maiden Lane. This;
was in 1872 After a few years
thev began manufacturing cigars
and Mr Heyman 's brother Samuel
was added to the partnership, form
ing the firm of Heyman Bros &
Loewenstein which has continued
to this day. In 1883 the firm
erected the large modern cigar fac
tory in East 59th street in which it
has ever since been installed.
Edward Heyman was fora number
of years president of the Legal Pro-
tective Association of Cigar Manu-
facturers of the City of New York.
Mr Heyman never married. His
funeral which took place on June
I, was largely attended.
The pall bearers were Louis
Loewenstein . Oscar Banghart . Frank
McCoy, Leo Gershel. Morris S Wise
and Edward Arendt,
The interment was at Salem
Fields, L. I.
The Principe de Gales Case,
In the U. S Circuit Court for the
southern district of New York.
Justice Lacombe, on May 27 over-
ruled the exceptions filed by the
plaintiff to all of the aflSrmative
defenses of the defendant in the |
famous El Principe de Gales cigar
trademark infringement case The
parties to the present action are the
American Cigar Co., plaintiff, and
Louis F. Fromer. defendant. The
case has been going on for the past
fourteen years. The original plain
tiff wa« the firm of V. Martinez
Ybor & Co. . with whom the El Prin-
cipe de Gales brand originated forty
years ago. Later, this firm's vari-
ous successors, namely, the Ybor,
Manrara Co., The Havana America
Co., and the American Cigar Co.,
were each substituted as plaintiff.
Since 1886 Mr. Fromer has been ^)
manufacturing a brand of clear Ha-
vana cigars under the title The
Prince of Wales, which is the Eng-
lish equivalent for the Spanish El
Principe de Gales.
In the argument before Justice
Lacombe, on May 23, the Ameri-
can Cigar Co. was represented by
Frank F Reed, of Chicago. Wise
& Lichtenstein, who have been Mr.
Fromer's counsel in this case for
the past fourteen years, appeared for
him.
The office of an exception in such
a case as the one under review is to
test the validity of a defense, and
if the court had sustained the plain-
tiff's exceptions the defense would
have been knocked out. In effect
the defense was, the title Prince of
Wales was not an infringement of
the Spanish rendering of that title.
The Mi Eleccion Case.
In the cigar trademark infringe-
ment case of Manrara Bros against
the American Trading Co., the
defendant, it is announced, has
agreed to discontinue the use of the
words **Mi Eleccion" on a brand
of Porto Rican cigars handled by
it in the United States, and manu-
factured in Porto Rico by M. Su-
arez & Co.
The plaintiff was represented by
Einstein, Townsend, Guiterman &
Shearn, of New York city.
The Stein Breach of Con-
tract Case,
MiltonS. Guiterman, of Einstein, W
Townsend, Guiterman & Shearn,
of New York city, has been retained
as counsel by the Theobald & Op-
penheimer Co , of Philadelphia,
and has advised his clients to takean
appeal from the judgment recently
rendered against them in the breach
of contract suit instituted against
them by Simon Stein. The case
will be taken to the General Term
of the City Court and possibly later
to the Appellate Term of the New
York Supreme Court.

Summer Aspect in the Quaker City.
The numerous cigar establish
ments of Philadelphia are already
presenting a summer trade appear-
ance, and enterprising cigarists are
putting forth their best efforts to
push such goods as seem to appeal
most strongly to the smoker who is
feeling the first effects of a real
warm day. Every dealer is trying
to maka his place look as cool and
comfortable as possible. Electric
fans are whizzing, doors and win-
dows are kept wide open, and awn-
ings and canopies are well drawn
to protect the stores from the sun's
warm rays.

STOGY AND CHEROOT MEN'S
HARVEST.
Stogies and cheroots are again
selling more rapidly , as short smokes
of all kinds are much in demand,
due in no small measure to the open
trolley cars. Stogies appear to be
selling particularly well for this time
of the year, which is really just the
beginning of the season. The sale
of cheroots is also said to be in-
creasing.
O'kBEFE'S new STORE NOW OPEN.
W. H. O'Keefe last week opened
his new store at 34 South Fourth
street, and it is all that Mr. O'K.
promised it would be — a thoroughly
up to- date cigar stort, replete with
new and handsome fixtures, attrac-
tive wall decorations, and a stock of
the finest goods the market affords.
SOCIETY rOLK IN THE CIGAR TRADE
The sedate Quaker City has at
last a real innovation in its cigar
trade, by the advent of some more
society people in its realms.
Singleton Brice, a well-known
Quaker City society man, has pur
chased the cigar store at 37 South
Thirteenth street, which for several
weeks was conducted by the Good-
win sisters, from Boston.
Mr. Brice is a son of Philip Brice,
and a nephew of Nicholas Brice, for
many years the vice chairman of
the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
Mr. Brice is assisted at the store by
his wife, and they also have a young
lady assistant. The place is doing
quite nicely.
EXPANSION AT AUER & DEMPSEY'S
!• ACTOR V.
Auer & Dempsey, cigar manu-
facturers at Broad and Vine streets,
have admitted Alfred G. Koch to
an interest in their business, which
will hereafter be conducted under
the firm name of Auer, Dempsey &.
Koch, at the same place. The firm
is yet a comparatively young one,
but it has been enterprising and has
prospered. We understand that
their business is expanding quite
rapidly, and with increased facilities
a much larger volume of business
is being anticipated.

ADMIRAL Schley's success.!
Some time ago Morris D. Neu-
mann & Co. placed upon the market
a new product under the name of
Admiral Schley, and have had
elegant success with it. Many
duplicate orders are being received,
and the brand has been finely es-
tablished in many localities. It is
proving a strong running mate to
the firm's White Knight, another
5-cent brand, which is extremely
popular in the west.

AMBITIOUS MEMORIAL DAY
DISPLAYS.
Acting upon the suggestions con-
tained in The Tobacco World, of
last week, several very commenda-
ble special Memorial Day window
displays were made here last week.
C. Francis Watkins, at 1827
Ridge avenue had a unique display,
consisting of stacks of old muskets,
canteens, and sabres which had
been used during the civil war,
caps, badges, buttons, officer's
swords and scabbards, shoulder
straps, belts, etc., were also used
in the display.
A large flag was carelessly thrown
over the floor of the window, and
a still larger flag was used for drap-
ing the back of the window, with
numerous smaller silk flags taste-
fully arranged on the sides.
E. G. Steane & Co., of looi
Chestnut street, took advantage of
the opportunity and made an ele-
gant showing in a display of their
Patrick Henry cigar, arranged to
show off the boxes of 12, 25, 50
and 100 to the very best advantage,

I THE NEW AMBASSADOR.
Last week we referred to a little
stranger in the Shepherd family, a
bright little grandson of Samuel
Shepherd, the head of the old job-
bing house of Samuel Shepherd &
Son. Now, little Willie (we shall
have to call him Willie until we
know better) will have to be given
a name. The Paragrapher has been
asked to suggest a name, and to do
so satisfactorily he thinks a name
to be acceptable would have to imply
nobility, and he therefore doesn't see
how he could suggest anything more
appropriate than Willie. That
would be a cute little name for him ;
it surely would please his father^
and it couldn't help but please that
happy mother. But then, how
aboutthatjoyfulgrandpa? Wouldn't
he probably like his name handed
down from generation to generation?
It would be an excellent second
choice.
There is only one other that I
could suggest, and that would be
to make him a namesake of a gentle-
man who has been for years a friend
of noble birth; a man of wide ac-
quaintance in the commercial world
and a man who has been knighted
—a lineal descendant of nobility, the
venerable Francis Boggs Robertson,
Ambassador of Commerce. The
circumstances would certainly befit
the occasion, for it has just been
learned that little Willie was born
on Mr. Robertson's birthday and he
is 23, sure.

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The leaf market during the past
week has been fairly steady, and
jobbers have had a fair trade. Large
transactions, however, have not
been numerous.
Sumatra has been selling steadily,
and several fair-sized transactions
have been consummated.
Havana trading is fairly good.

The Leaf Market in
New York.
The causes of the admitted dull-
ness of trade in the New York leaf
market are variously explained.
So far as the Havana market is
concerned the fault is altogether the
government's. The failure of Con
gress to pass the Cuban reciprocity
bill has laid a paralyzing hand upon
business, and no merchants in New
York are more indignant in conse
quence than are the importers of
Havana tobacco. The United States
Government has always treated the
cigar leaf interest ignorantly. There
doesn't seem to be a man in Wash-
ington who understands the needs of
this interest or who cares a rap
whether it prospers or not. And
yet the tobacco interest is a vast
revenue producer.
Business with the Havana leaf
men in New York has been dull
since May 15. It probably will not
revive till some disposition is made
of the reciprocity measure at Wash-
ington.
Business in Sumatra and in the
domestic types of cigar leaf is dull
solely because the manufacturers of
domestic cigars appear to be in a
blue funk. That trade needs what
the clear Havana trade has got,
namely an infusion of new blood, of
young and capable men who have
new ideas and who are not afraid to
work.

H. Duys d' Co.
By a formal notice published else-
■where the trade is advised by H.

has been changed to H. Duys & Co.
The firm will continue as hereto-
fore to be the branch of the Amster-
damsche Tabakshandelmaatschap-
py of Amsterdam.
The admission of John H Duys
to a partnership interest in this
popular Sumatra house is a recogni-
tion of two things, first of his value
to the business, and secondly of his
new and important status as a
married man.
The firm of H. Duys & Co., at

country are among the most enter-

j Henry Clay Pirates,
Beware.
wise & LIchtenstein Will Get You
If You Don't Watch Out.
The important announcement
comes from Havana that the well-
known law firm of Wise & Lich-
tenstein, of New York city, has
been retained by the Henry Clay
and Bock & Co. corporation to
prosecute all infringements of the
Henry Clay and other brands of ci-
gars manufactured by the great
syndicate in Havana.
Hon. Morris S. Wise who was
questioned as to this matter by a
Tobacco World reporter on Monday
last said:
"Please report me as saying noth
ing for the present."
For more than a generation the
Henry Clay brand of cigars manu-
factured in Havana originally by \
the late Julian Alvarez and con- 1
tinuously ever since, for more than
fifty years by his various successors,
has been pirated more brazenly and ;
oftener than any other cigar brand
in existence. Attempts have been i
) made at different times to stop these :
dishonest practices, but, for one
reason or another, these attempts'
have all heretofore come to nolh |
The significance of the retainer
to Wise & Lichtenstein is to be
gleaned Irom the performance of
I this firm in the "Old Crow" whiskey
cases. Pirates used to put out
bogus "Old Crow" brands of whis-
key upon the market, by hundreds,
and for a while the owners of the
genuine brand attempted to stop
the piracy through criminal pro-
ceedings instituted against the pir-
ates. Each pirate had his own
little "pull," however, and instead
of going out of business grew bolder
than before. Thereupon Wise &
Lichtenstein were retained and ap-
pealed to the civil side of the court
for redress for their clients. The
result was the institution of over
fifteen hundred suits against as
many pirates. In each case Wise i
& Lichtenstein sued for and got
damages — and today there is no!
j fake "Old Crow" whiskey on the i
market.
1 Mr. Wise refuses to make public
' his plans, but while he was giving
utterence to the brief sentence
quoted above the same glint was in I
his eye and the same firm lines !
about his mouth as were there when '
»»
he was prosecuting the "Old Crow
cases.
If the Henry Clay pirates are wise
they will go out of business before
j Mr. Wise gets after them.
A New Union Factory in
New York.
Walter M. Friedenberg & Co.
have opened a new union labor ci-
gar factory in New York city at 404
and 406 East 93d street.
Walter M. Friedenberg is well and
favorably known in New York, hav-
ing long been connected with Mau-
rice Kain & Co.
It is confidently expected in the
trade that the new firm will have a
successful and prosperous career.

lancastj:r's report.
A fair trade is reported by local
leaf men, and about 400 cases of old
goods were bought during the week
cided rise ere long, owing to the
shortness of the crop in all districts
with the exception of the Partido
region, and it is claimed by all
packers that the first cost is con
siderably higher this year, prices for
the 1902 growth will rule nearly 50
percent, higher than in 1901, un-
less manufacturers north should re
strict their use of Havana tobacco,
which hardly looks probable.
Remedios tobacco — The situation
of this article is creating wide-
spread talk. The new crop is uni
versally admitted to be very short
in quantity and therefore the stocks
of the old crop held in Havana will
be barely sufficient to offset the
missing quantum. The poorer
grades and growths have almost all
disappeared, and what is left con
sists of from good to extra choice

escojida first and second capaduras,
and that these will command higher
prices when the demand sets in is
conceded even by the bear party.
The American Cigar Co. has been
the chief buyer of all grades of Rem-
edies and although oflBcially it is
stated that it is not any longer in
the market for more goods, some
doubt might be entertained in this
respect. A fact is that bids were
made by this company upon some
of the finest grades and growths,
but were not acceptable to holders.
Who will win in the end remains to
be seen, still if statistics are worth
anything at all, then the present
holders are in poss cession of four
aces. It would only require about
$2,000,000 to virtually buy up the
present stock of first and second
capaduras, and this is where the
danger lies for the cigar manufac
turers north, if they fail to stock up
for at least one or two years to come
as the 1902 crop will not be fit for
use until 1904. For the American
Cigar Co. I2, 000, 000 is a compara
tively small sum, and who knows
what the secret plans of this power
ful concern are? When the raw
material is in one hand, how will
the independentcigar manufacturers
north be able to compete with an
inferior domestic raw productagainst
a superior manufactured article? To
be or not to be, that is the question!
Vuelta Abajo. — Some complaints
are heard already of poor yield, that
is to say the percentage of colas and
botes appears larger in the escojidas
than at first calculated upon.
Partidos.— Although the best in
yield and quantity, competition has
driven up the prices so much that as
high as $5 per bundle for wrappers
has been paid, and as all manufac-
turers will have to use Partido
wrappers, there being virtually none
to speak of in the Vuelta Abajo,
the high prices might be warranted
under the circumstances.
Holidays interfered with the es-
cojidas but next week all will be in
full working order again, unless
dry weather prevents some. Hav-
ana was turned upside down, and to
the stranger accustomed to the 4th
of July noise everything must have
sounded familiar, as firecrackers,
rockets, bombs and toy pistol shots
were^heard everywhere. The noise
was deafening at times. The illumi
nations at night were superb and
the fireworks on the Morro Castle
side of the bay were unique, and
surely the famed Venetian nights
must have been surpassed in grand
eur. The universal cry was, that
nothing like it had ever been seen
in Havana. The crowd was in the
main good natured, only exceptions
of drunkenness occured and one
policeman was stabbed during the
four days of merry making, this is
surely a good augury for the new
Republic and illustrates the fitness
of its citizens to keep order even
under trying circumstances. Of
course, a few accidents occured
through carelessness in handling
the dangerous bombs and other
firearms.
Arrivals. — Venancio Diaz, from
New York, returned to his adopted
home. Alberto Santiso, of Crump
Bros., Chicago, came on a visit to
his native place.
Departures. — Ramon Prieto, of
the well known firm of Sobrinos de
Antero Gonzalez, left on the Span-
ish steamer Alfonso XII on a vaca-
tion for Spain, accompanied by his
family. Ferd Oppenheimer left for
New York by the steamer Mexico
on May 25, and also John T. Ward-
low, general manages of F. Garcia
Bros. & Co. Mr. Santiso is booked
to go via Tampa on Monday by the
Mascotte. Don Gustavo Bock also
left on the Mexico for New York.
Bruno Diaz & Co. will start their
packing in Remates de Guane on
June I St.
Muniz Hno. & Co. are going to
open an escojida in San Antonio de
los Banos having bought some 20,-
000 matules of wrappers costing
from $3 to $5 per matul (bundle) of
210 leaves, and having paid such
prices the tobacco must be of the
best produced in the tumbadero dis-
trict. In the famous Montezuelo
district this house has made con-
tracts with the vegueros to pack
from 500 to 1,000 bales.
Aixala & Co. are busy likewise
in their packings in the tumbadero
district.
Jorge P. Castaneda stopped work
this week in their large packing in
San Antonio de los Banos, but com-
mence again next week.
Cano y Hnos., besides their pack-
ings in Alquizar and Palacios, will
make an escojida of 2,000 bales of
the aromatic Artemisa crop in the
town of the same name.
Florentino Menendez is ready to
show several vegas of new Partido
temprano (early growth) tobacco fit
to be worked at once by the clear
Havana cigar manufaeturers north.
G. Salomon & Bros, received
some excellent new Vuelta Abajo
tobacco and which being also of the
temprano part may soon be ready
for the manufacturers to work, as
well as their Partido vegas.
Cigar manufacturers were con-
siderably hampered by the holidays
as most of the cigarmakers refused
to work from Monday to Friday,
therefore naturally the output was
reduced to a mimimum, as only
factories like U. Upmann & Co. and
others who had rush orders worked
as much as the workmen cared to do.

Memorial Day in Red Lion wit-

of the Porto Rico Leaf Tobacco Co.,
Charles Salomon, of New York,
proprietor. The origin of the fire
is unknown. It is reported that
at the time of the fire there was
J^ 1 0.000 worth of leaf tobacco and
high grade cigars in the building,
the damage to which was chiefly
by water. The total loss will reach
$2,500, which is fully insured.

Juan Rubino, of Emigsville,

locate elsewhere at an early date.
Report says that an efifort would
be made to establish Charles Willis,
of the firm of D A. 8hreiver & Co.,
permanently on the police force, in
recognition of brave services in the
face of danger. From what could
be learned it seems that a practical
joker entered the open door of their
place of business after closing hours,
and stationed himself between two
cases of tobacco. Now, Charley
could see only the hat of the in-
truder, and does he violently resint
the intrusion and eject the visitor?
Not exactly; but I am sure he in-
tended to do so. Charley's plan
was to cautiously open a back door
and then station himself on the out-
side of the front door, at the same
time holding the knob securely.
Afterwards Charley left and then
returned several hours later, but the
visitor had in the meantime left
Charley says if he catches any one
in his place again he will hurt him,
therefore we conclude he may be
forcibly ordered to join the force.
BALTIMORE BREVITIES
Samuel Heller, who was for some
years superintendant with Kraus &
Co. at Hanover & Pratt streets, has
begun the manufacture of cigars on
his individual responsibility, at 7
West Pratt street, and the venture

His brands will be Carenta,
Civilles and La Hellero, of which
the last named will be a clear Ha-
vana product.
An order has been already placed
with Messrs. Petre, Schmidt & Berg-
man, of New York, for the litho-
grapic work, through the firm's
representative Mr. H. B. Cochran.
The work will be pushed through
as vigorously as its delicacy will
[permit.

the hotels and clubs, marketed the
goods hi made.
Mrs. Barbara Loebert leased the
floor above the cigar store, and she
rented a room to Kalijan. Several
weeks ago Kalijan brought Cara-
man home with him and he also
rented a room from Mrs. Loebt-rt.
The two were frequently together.
Some of Kalijan 's cigarette makers
say that Caraman had complained
of late that Kalijan kept the price'
of cigarettes so high that it was
difficult to compete with other
makers. There had been some
harsh words over this. Caraman
wanted Kalijan to reduce the price,
but none of the men believed that
Caraman committed murder for so
trifling a thing as this.
Caraman returned home and went
to his room before lo o'clock Wed
out a permit. Since then his friends
say he has been acting queerly.

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 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 wa\' 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 tlnger-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
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.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.
CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
We hear of an occasional sale of
the 1 90 1 crop of tobacco, yet at
what the growers claim as unsatis-
factory prices. It is rather amazing
that a well informed grower should
assort and pack his crop, and then
sell it at a price that he is ashamed
to mention. He ought to know
that to sell now, when it is just
time for it to get into the sweat, is
no time to offer his goods for sale.
There is every reason to believe
that but a slight boom is needed to
cause the picking up of every box
of leaf at increased rates. We were
informed by a manufacturer of cigars
that he couldn't buy a pound of
light- colored, force-sweat wrappers
for lesslthan 80 to 90 cents, and the
very best was higher yet, and he
thought that Connecticut Havana
would be practically out of the
market before the snow flies.
Our correspondents write :
Feeding Hills: "Tobacco setting
commenced on the E. H. Smith
farm, also at Mrs. Roche's. The
former is setting under the cloth
cover, where twenty acres are to be
set and raised in that way. His re-
maining one hundred acres will be
raised in the open, or in the ordin
ary way. The setting in general
will not commence until after the
twenty- fifth, though the land is be-
ing made ready as rapidly as possi-
ble."
North Hadley: "We have a few
large growers of tobacco; prominent ,
among them are Frank Scott, who ;
raises thirty acres, James Day, about
fourteen acres, and Mr. Wilson
(both of these last named assort and
pack a good many crops), George
M. Crafts, fourteen acres (he has
just sold his 1901 crop at p, t.), and
P. Ryan grows about ten acres, and
a host of others from five to eight
acres each. North Hadley is noted
for its fine leaf."
Hadley: "This fine old town has
some rather extensive growers;
probably Frank S. Reynolds raises
the most, then Austin Cook, Lyman
Cook and Thomas Burke are among
the largest growers. Mr. Burke
buys and packs a good many crops
each year. The work of transplant-
ing has now become quite general.
Aboutthe usual amount will be set."
Southwick: "The work of setting
tobacco is now quite general. Plants
have come on rapidly the past few
warm days. C H. Stone is prepar-
ing to raise 10 acres under shade.
At least 4 new curing barns are to
be put up."
SuflSeld: "Several parties com-
menced transplanting as early as
May 14, but is general over the
town now. The Bissell, Graves
Company have the frame for shade I
growing of 15 acres up, and are'
putting on the cloth. So it seems
they are not afraid that it will not
be in demand."
North Hatfield: "Transplanting
is now quite general, and plants in
fine condition. C. H. Crafts has
four acres set, and plants enough
dug to set another acre."
Wethersfield, Ct.: "Tobacco
plants are coming on finely, con-
sidering the cool and dry weather
I we have had. We need rain very
much. None set as yet." — Ameri-

There is practically no market
here. The local buyers report that
most of the 1901 crop has been
bought up, although there are a few
good crops still in the growers'
hands, but they are scattered over a
large territory necessitating a good
deal of riding by the buyers to find
them. A. Heinke, representing

Sunday from Ohio, where he has
been for several weeks. His firm
has purchased about 650 cases in
Ohio, principally Gebhardt, part of
which will be brought here for
handling. Elias Bach & Son
j shipped 25 cases from their ware

No buying worthy of mention is
reported from this vicinity, though
a crop or two are occasionally sold
Farmers are devoting their time
towards preparing the ground and
getting ready to start the crop of
1902. A small acreage has already
been transplanted, but the weather
is so cool that the ravages of the
cutworms are likely to necessitate
replanting of the same. Trans
planting machines are on the move.
A frost Wednesday morning nipped
the young plants in some localities
where the canvas had been removed
from the beds, though no serious
injury had been reported. — News
steady with smaller offerings on
the breaks, and large private sales
of Bremer cigar and snuff tobaccos.
Prices were easy and noticeably
lower on tobaccos out of condition.
Altogether prices are very low on
all grades from Low Medium to
Fine, while Lugs and Common
Leaf remain in demand at un-
changed prices. Bremen styles,
cigar wrappers and plug wrappers
were never better or cheaper. Price
and quality causes free buying.

The buying movement is slacking
up since the farmers have become
so busy with crowding work that
they have little time for talking.
Some riding, however, is still being
done though the volume of sales
have fallen off greatly, though the
trading is done at former quotations,
ranging about the 9 cent mark for
the wrapper and binder grades
Old leaf is moving only moderately.
George Rumrill reports the sale of
several good sized lots of 1900 of
late. Word comes from New York
that a I ,ooocs lot of the Culion
packingof 1900 has been disposed of
The plant beds have been coming
forward very rapidly ot late, so fast
in fact that the work of preparing
the fields is now crowding the
growers. A good many plants are
now large enough for transplanting
and in a few cases the planting of
the crop has commenced, though
the date is a week or ten days earlier
than most growers care to start this
work. Some complaints of dam
ages to plant beds by fleas or bugs
have reached us, but as a general
proposition an abundance of plants
for all intended acreage is promised.

Tobacco Growing in
Connecticut.
' Some Essentials to Success.
In what are known as the "to-
bacco towns" of the Connecticut
Valley, tobacco growing is the pre-
dominant industry. Practically,
every farmer raises the weed, to
I some extent, and nearly every one
lis "in it for all he is worth." It is
useless to urge upon such farmers
the wisdom of diversified farming.
Tobacco is the one exacting crop
that taxes their energies and re-
sources to the utmost. Many of

them do not have even a decent
kitchen garden. They have fallen
into deep ruts, that are growing
deeper year by year, until they can
not, or think they cannot, turn out
out of them. Every other farm
crop or phase of farming is with
them tributary, or, at least, second-
ary, to the autocratic Indian weed.
The tobacco campaign of work
for the season began as soon as the
frost left the ground. Tobacco in
the open field must be grown and
matured between late and early
frost In the latitude of Connecti
cut this is an uncertain but limited
period, sometimes not exceeding
one hundred days. It is therefore
necessary to prepare and sow to
bacco beds early, in order to have
plants of suitable size ready for early
transplanting. A considerable time
is required in which to produce the
plants, as they grow very slowly as
long as the weather remains cool
and frosty or chilly nights prevail
The seed is usually sprouted in ad
a very liberal quantity of stable
manure is applied and thoroughly
worked in o the soil. In the spring
a liberal amount of one or more
kinds of concentrated quick work-
ing chemical fertilizer is scattered
over the bed, and intermingled with
the soil. Then the bed is raked
over with a steel toothed rake until
the surface earth is made fine as
meal
Tobacco seed is exceedingly small
and an inexperienced person will be
almost sure to sow the seed too
thickly, thus producing a crowded
growthof spindling plants. To aid
the even distribution of the seed, it
is usually mixed with sand, or
something of the kind.
As a rule, tobacco seed is always
sown broadcast and never in rows.
The object is, of course, to econo-
mise space and the area that must
be covered It is an economy of
space, but not of labor. Weeding
a tobacco bed in the fashion con-
firmed and approved in Connecticut
vance of sowing, and some time is by immemorial usage, is nothing if
gained in this way. The growth of not laborious. The operator usually
plants might be forced by artificial I works either kneeling on one knee,
heat, but this is not thought ex
pedieflt. Most plant beds are pro-
tected by cloth or glass, but all
or both, or bending over half moon
shape, and does all the weeding and
stirring of the soil between the
coverings are removed when weather ' olants with his fingers, longing per-
conditions permit, that the plants
may be hardened by exposure.
This spring plants in many seed
beds, but not in all, had begun to
make some showing of growth by
the middle of April.
An old rule of farmers declares
the time for planting corn to be
when the oak- tree leaves are as big
as a mouse's ear. But there is no
fixed rule for planting tobacco.
The time is not denoted by a date
haps for a rubber substitute for his
strained and aching spine. If the
plants were regularly spaced apart,
even in only narrow rows, most of
the weeding and cultivation might
be done with a suitable hand im-
plement by a man standing erect,
not prone like a serpent upon a
plank, or kneeling tohis idolsamong
the groundlings. But this would be
an innovation.
Sometimes tobacco plants come
in the almanac, but is absolutely up well and grow right along up to
dependent upon the size of the [ transplanting time without a set
plants available. The fields may back. In other instances, they at-
be prepared and in readiness, but if | tain a certain insufficient size, and
the plants are not ready, the fields then apparently stop and remain
must wait. There is a great diflfer
ence in the growth and develop-
ment of tobacco plants in the plant
stationary or even seem to dwindle
away, instead of making healthy
growth. Then nitrate of soda or
beds of a township and those of ad- I other stimulants are applied with
joining farms. Possibly there may varying effect, very much as experi
I be no two that on a given date are ments in medicine are made upon
exactly alike in all respects. Here
is a fine chance for farmers to show
ailing patients. When a farmer
sees that his plants look sickly,
their skill — for it is skill, not luck, ; yellow, drooping and generally un
promising, he says to a neighbor:
' ' I don 't know what ails my plants. ' '
They compare notes, and very likely
\ that commands success in growing
tobacco, from the tiny young plant
to the ripe and perfect wrapper leaf.
The failure of a novice in tobacco
culture is very apt to begin in the
plant bed. The farmer who pos-
sesses the skill and experience which
the novice lacks, will take a degree
of pains with his plant bed, that
might seem entirely unnecessary to
a beginner. After the plants are
removed the soil is kept stirred at
intervals frequent enough to pre-
vent weed growth during the re
mainder of the season. In the fall
the neighbor comforts the other by
owning up that he don't know what
ails his plants. That's just the
point — they .don't know. And it's
ten to one that these farmers will be
driving about the country late in
June, inquiring where they can buy
tobacco plants. If plants are plenti-
ful, they can get them; if scarce,
they may drive many miles, spend-
ing hours and even days, in the end
perhaps using inferior plants from

their own beds. Altogether too
many farmers use small, stunted,
spindling or otherwise imperfect
plants because they have them, and
their loss thereby is conspicuous
from the seed bed to the harvest in
the field. The lesson for those
about to begin to raise tobacco is
that knowledge, skill and deftness
are as requisite and important for
the production of good plants, as in
any subsequent processes of culture.
Good crops are not the outcome of
poor plants
At present, farmers are busy in
preparing their tobacco fields for the
transplanting, which usually begins
in May, sometimes as early as the;
time for planting corn. All through '
the winter and up to this time, they
have been hauling stable manure to I
the fields from the cities, the larger
towns and the railroad stations.
The local supply is quite inadequate
to meet the demand, and large
quantities are obtained from New
York and Boston.
In the tobacco fields, a notably
wasteful and unchecked natural
process was going on in the early
and thawing spring days. The great
heaps of stable manure, drawn and
piled during the winter, were steam-
ing and smoking as if being con-
sumed by fire. This was practically
the case, although the fire did not
break out in visible flames. Fire-
fanging, as it is called, burns up
the most valuable part of the ma
nure, leaving a grayish white and
nearly worthless residue. If the
heaps had been forked over and land
plaster intermingled with the ma
nure before it became overheated,
the effect would have been to fix the
ammonia and prevent it from escap
ing into the air, to be absolutely
lost. There are other ways by
which farmers can prevent this
waste and loss, the amount of which,
in the aggregate, is of considerable
importance. By the time it reaches
the fields, the cost of stable manure |
is large. It should all be utiliz d,
not wasted.
This stable manure will all be
spread and plowed under. Later
on, various fertilizers will be applied
and harrowed in. Of these phos-
phates, cottonseed meal and certain i
"tobacco manures" are most in |
favor. Tobacco stems are also very
generally applied. Fertilizing to |
bacco with tobacco may be some
thing like feeding milk back to
cows, but Connecticut tobacco
growers claim that it is the right
thing to do.— S B. Keach, Hart-
ford, Ct, in the Country Gentleman.
LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Cigar MaavfactDrcrs' AccoDsts.
A collector, who, in the prepara-
tion of his statement of accounts of
cigar manufacturers for the year
ended December 31, 1900. and the
first half of last year ended June 30,
1 90 1, on Form 144, had reported
on the same sheet the accounts relat
ing to small cigars and small and
large cigarettes, has been advised
that the accounts of manufacturers
of small cigars should be kept separ-
ately, and on separate sheets, apart
from the accounts relating to the
manufacture of large cigars and
cigarettes, and each account should
show separately the number of
: pounds of tobacco material used in
the manufacture of large or small
cigars or large and small cigarettes,
; as the case may be, and the number
of such cigars or cigarettes manu-
factured.
The accounts, as stated on Form
144. of manufacturers who make
cigars or cigarettes of more than
one class should show the number
of each class removed from the
factory properly stamped, and the
number of cigarettes stamped at the
rate of $1 08 per thousand should
be stated separately from cigarettes \
stamped and tax paid at the rate of
54 cents per thousand.
The total number of unstamped
cigarettes on hand July i, 1901,
weighing not more than three
pounds per thousand should be
entered in column i of the account
relating to cigarettes tax paid at the
rate of j$ . 08 per thousand without
reference to their value.
The total number of cigarettes
made after July ist and prior to
January i, 1902, less the number |
stamped at the rate of 54 cents per
thousand, should be entered in
column 2 of that account.
The number of cigarettes sold
and remove from the factory tax-
paid at the rate of $1 08 per thou
sand should be entered in column 3
of the production account, and all
unstamped cigarettes on hand Jan-
[uary i, 1902, weighing not more
than three pounds per thousand,
should be entered in column 4
The fact that a number of un-
[ stamped small cigarettes on hand
and inventoried January i, 1902,
may subsequently be sold at $2 or
I less per thousand, and tax paid at
the rate of 54 cents per thousand
I will make no change in the state
ment of the previous account.
The accounts relating to cigar
ettes tax paid at the lowest rate (54
cents per thousand) will be squared
first; crediting the account with five
pounds of unstemmed leaf or three
pounds of stemmed leaf, scraps,
cuttings or clippings used in manu-
facturing each one thousand cigar-
ettes, and the deficiency, if any,
will be carried to the account relat
ing to cigarettes tax paid at the
rate of |i .08 per thousand.

Where a manufacturer makes
both large and small cigars and
does not separate his material used
for manufacturing large cigars from
that used in manufacturing small
cigars, the account as to the small
cigars will be credited with five
pounds of unstemmed leaf tobacco
or three pounds of stemmed leaf,
scraps, cuttings and clippings used
in manufacturing each one thou-
sand cigars reported manufactured,
weighing not more than three
pounds per thousand, and the ac-
count relating to large cigars, weigh
ing more than three pounds per
thousand, will be charged with the
total quantity of unstemmed leaf,
or stemmed leaf, scraps, cuttings
and clippings used in manufactur
ing less the quantities credited in
the small cigar account, and the
deficiency, if any, will then appear
in the account relating to large
cigars.
The Commissioner, on July i6th
last, ruled that a manufacturer mak-
ing both large and small cigars and
cigarettes will be privileged to keep
separate records relating to each
class of goods manufactured — one
for cigars weighing more than three i i ponnd
pounds per thousand; one for cigars ' ^ pounds
... ^ , . ' 3 pounds
weighing not more than three _ pounds
pounds per thousand, and one for
cigarettes; and, further, that if the
manufacturer makes two classes of
cigarettes, one tax paid at the rate
of $ I. o8 per thousand and another
tax paid at the rate of 54 cents per
thousand, he may keep a separate
book. Form 73, for each class and

example of imitation, fraud, deceit
and the appropriation of the trade
mark rights of another; and it may
be interesting, therefore, to examine
the history of the first trade- mark
infringement of which there is any
record in our literature, either sacred
or profane.
Esau, the elder son of Isaac, fol-
lowed the trade or occupation of a
hunter, and his trade-mark was a
pair of shaggy, hairy arms and
hands which he cultivatedcarefully:
because personal vanity has not
been confined to the men and women
of modern times alotfe, and Esau,
who was very proud of his descent
from Nimrod,the great hunter, took
pride in advertising to his neighbors
and the public at large the fact that
he was a Hunter and a Sport, and
not an effeminate dweller in tents or
a dandy dancing attendance upon
the women. S© he cultivated a very
large amount of hirsute covering,
and as he passed through the neigh-
borhood on his journeys people
nudged each other and pointed him
out as the great slayer of game and
wild beasts— the Hairy Heir of
Isaac the beloved one
Hon. Morris S. Wish.
And then, later on, his trade-mark
deception upon his father was again
visited by the punishment and
torture he endured in being led to
believe for so many years that his
favorite son, Joseph, had been
killed by wild beasts, in proof of
which fact the coat of many colors
he had made for his son, dipped in
blood, was produced as positive
evidence.
And from which little dip into
this very ancient story we glean the
very perfect lesson that trickery,
deception and fraud are not matters
: of modern invention ; that the crafty
cunning of many of the animals of
theearth have found reflection in the
minds of its men and women, and
that human nature is tainted with
this imperfection; and the desire to
acquire the property of some one
else, whether it be gold, silver, fine
linen, trade, or a father's blessing,
is strong in the human heart, but is
in fact no stronger to-day than it
was in the days of old; and the
Good Lord recognized this to the
fullest extent when he promulgated
the last commandment, which may
be summarized in the words "Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbor's prop-

What to do to he Saved.
A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.
III.
What the cigar trade of the
United States most needs is a genius
There are thousands of men in the
business who understand the mak
ing of cigars and there are hundreds
who are good salesmen . But where
is the man able to devise really at-
tractive advertising schemes, such
for instance as the boy with the
geese in the Omega Oil posters?
Every cigar manufacturer in the
United States seems to consider his
whole duty is done by himself, his
brand and the public when he an
nounces the name of the brand, its
price and with sometimes a line
describing its quality. He leaves
the rest to Providence. There is
such a multiplicity of brands that
are forever in the public eye, it is
small wonder consumers pay little
or no attention to cigars advertised
in the old fashioned way. There
is not a cigar smoker in the United
States who does not consider him-
self as good a judge of ''igars as the
next man, and the "next man"
knows all there is to be known
about Sumatra and Havana and
Connecticut and the other types of
cigar leaf, or thinks he does, which
is just where he falls down.
The time is coming rapidly when
smokers will call for cigars by the
brand name, just as to day they call
for cigarettes or smoking or chew-
ing tobacco. During the years im-
mediately following the civil war
those who bought smoking and
chewing tobacco, or snuff or cigars
did not do more than ask for a
"dime's worth" of this or that, or
for "a good cigar." For the past
twenty years, however, smoking
and chewing tobacco and snuff
brands have severally become so
well-known, so firmly intrenched
in the hearts of those who are ad
dieted to these respective habits,
that the demand upon the retailer
is always for a certain brand.
This is not yet the case with
cigars, at least it is not so unfail
ingly the case, but the day is not
far distant when it will be as uni-
versally the custom as to cigars as
it is already as to smoking and
chewing tobacco, snuff and cigar
ettes. In a field where competition
is so extraordinarily keen, and
where competitors spring up on
every hand, which we know to be
the fact as to cigar manufacture, it
is not surprising that smokers do
not always know their own mind
as to the brand they want, and that
they are easily persuaded by the
retailer to content themselves with
"something just as good" or even
"better. ' ' But the retailer will not
always be able to do this. Most
smokers already refuse substitutes, ,
and by and by they will do so to a
man.
In the meantime let us pray that
there will come into the field de-
voted to the advertising of cigars
some one man, or a number of men
with really bright ideas, fresh,
original, attractive, and above all,
absolutely new and hitherto untried.
And this man, or these men, are as
apt as not to attach themselves to
the fortunes of a struggling manu-
facturer, as they are to apply for
employment to the big people. It
may be they would be diffident
about going to the big people in the
first instance, because of the fear
of being receired coldly or of being
j turned away as needy adventurers.
j Present methods of advertising
i cigars are in some cases ruinously
expensive. Electrically lighted signs
j sometimes cost as much as $100 a
week to run. In other cases, es-
pecially where these signs are af-
i fixed to the fronts of drug stores,
I or restaurants, or the like, the cigar
! manufacturer is compelled to place
the name of the individual pro-
I prietor, or some word or words de-
I scriptive of the business conducted
! by him upon the sign advertising
I the cigar. In each of these elec-
\ trically light*»d devices every letter,
nay, every punctuation mark, costs
considerable money, and unless the
manufacturer can hold the trade in
such an establishment for a long,
long time he will not get back his
money.
Cigar advertisements in daily
newspapers are always costly, and
nowadays, on account of the num-
bers of them one sees in the papers,
of doubtful value. The public sees
so many such advertisements that
lit is skeptical and indifferent.
Nevertheless the assiduity of the
big people in making their brands
known, through the public press,
to the masses cannot be denied.
Their persistency in using these
media is proof that they have found
them serviceable.
Large posters are also beyond the
means of the struggling cigar man-
ufacturer. So also are expensive
hangers and show cards for retail
stores and other places where cigars

always a little cigar store there from
which arrangements could be made
to start any expedition which had
been planned. If the Spanish Con-

President Palma spoke in a very
amusing vein concerning the matter
of coaling stations. He said the
Cubans thought very much of Key
West, and that he thought the
United States, instead of demand

High Rentals for Cigar
Stores,
The small old fashioned three-
story brick building at the north-
west corner of Broadway and Thirty-
fourth street, adjoining the great
new building which R. H. Mary
& Co. are putting up on Broadway
and Thirty- fourth and Thirty- Fifth
streets, has been rented to the Royal
Cigar Co , for $40,000 a year.
Henry Siegel, of the Siegel, Cooper
Co., the owner, paid $375,000 for
it. At a rental of $40,000 a year,
therefore, the property is one of the
best pieces of real estate in the
metropolis.
The Royal Cigar Co. is believed
to be the American end of the Im-

The entire ground floor of the
Flat Iron building at Broadway and

pany never had any rating at Brad-

Some of the leaf tobacco creditors
of the company are kindly disposed
and it is possible that the company
have several which arc exceedingly
beautiful, and which cost me large
sums of money. I am told they
will probably advance greatly in
value with the passing years, for the
reason that the rich people of Japan

giving up the wearing of inros.

The Answer,
The Japanese are not snuff- takers,
but the Chinese are. The Chinese
not only buy the most expensive
snuff manufactured by tke regie of
Portugal, but they are also large

About $10,000,000 a Year.
At what figure do you estimate
the annual advertising bill of the
American Tobacco Company, and
the Continental Tobacco Co?
MoRiTz Dahn,
Davenport, Iowa.
The Answer.
I am not obliged to estimate it,
for I know that it is about $10,000,-
000 a year. This includes a cash
outlay of about $7,000,000 and
about $3,000,000 the value of the
presents given to those who hoard
up their box fronts, bands, tags,
etc., which is properly chargeable
j to the advertising account. The
two great corporations named by
my correspondent are undoubtedly
the largest advertisers in the world.
The names of their brands of ci-
garettes, of smoking and chewing
tobaccos and of cigars are adver-
tised continuously, and in more
newspapers and upon more bill-
boards than are any other articles
of merchandise whatsoever, the
most lavishly advertised patent
medicine not excepted.
The Hooka Badar,
Dear Mbdicine Man:
What is a hooka badar? I ran
across the word the other day in a
book about India, j. Wilkinson,
Germantown, Phila.
The Answer.
The hooka badar is the hooka
bearer in a well-to-do household in
India. In India the number of
servants necessary to form a com-
plete establishment is very numer-
ous, and the subdivision of labor is
very minute. The hooka, the well-
known water pipe of the East, is
an important item in the catalogue
of oriental luxuries, and in a large
house there is certain to be a great
number of them . The hooka badar
takes care of all these, keeps them
in repair and brings them, filled
with tobacco and ready to light, to
his master and his guests whenever
called upon to do so.

NO MORE COUPONS.
Some agitation has been going
on in this city since Justice Brew-
ster's decision regarding prize
coupons was rendered, and promul-
gated by local Revenue Collector
McCoach. It is now even thought
by some that the practice of offer-
ing prizes for cigar bands and for
the redemption of tin tags from
plug tobacco and for box fronts of
cigarettes, is an evasion of the
spirit of the law, for tags on tobacco,
and in some cases box fronts, must
have been in or a part of an original
or statutory package, and in the
case of cigar bands they positively
were contained in the original or
statutory package. While no cou-
pons may have been contained in
such packages, the giving of
premiums for such bands or tags or
box fronts is believed by many to
be contary to the spirit of the law
as expounded by Justice Brewster,
and that if it is not declared illegal
the law is falling short of eradicat-
ing a practice which they believe it
was the intention of congress to
prohibit.
Several persons have called upon
the local deputy collector of internal
revenue this week, and a more com-
prehensive decision from the Com-
missioner of Internal Revenue at
Washington has been promised them
in a few days.
Meanwhile dealers are anxiously
awaiting the result of this move-
ment.

OTTO UISBNLOHR
Celebrates His 50th Birth-
day Anniversary.
Mr. Otto Eisenlohr, head of the
extensive and widely known cigar
manufacturing firm of Otto Eisen-
lohr & Bros., of Philadelphia, cele-
brated his 50th birthday anniversary
at the "Orchards" (near Essington),
on Tuesday afternoon, June loth,
and tendered a dinner to about
fifteen specially invited guests, most
of whom were lifelong friends or
business associates.
The affair was to be a q«iet one,
and few in the trade save those who
had been invited knew anything of
it. The Tobacco World reporter
was among the few who were aware
of the anticipated gathering.
The present business of Messrs.
Otto Eisenlohr & Bros, antedates
Mr. Otto by two years, having been
established by his father, Wm.
Eisenlohr, in 1850, and has con-
tinued to grow to its present im-
mensity.
That the affair was a thoroughly
enjoyable one goes without saying,
but a complete report of Mr. Eisen-
lohr's surprise upon his return
home has not yet been made.
The guests of the occasion in-
cluded with Mr. Otto Eisenlohr, his
three brothers, Lewis H., Chas. J.
and Aug. C. Eisenlohr, Richard T.
Gumpert, Joseph S. Vetterlein,
Herman G. Vetterlein, John H.
Boltz, Channing Allen, Isidore
Langsdorf, J. Warner Hutchings,
Geo. E. Walton, Henry T. Freyer,
W. M. Armstrong and W. J.
Bruehl.
A souvenir was presented to each
guest. It was a gold pen knife
bearing the inscription "Otto Eisen-
lohr, 1851-1902," on one side, and
the name of the recipient on the
other side.
After the invitations had been
issued a surprise was prepared by
Mr. Eisenlohr 's friends, who pre-
sented him with a bronze statuette
of "The Gladiator," as a token of
their high regard and personal
esteem.
A happier choice than that
Richard T. Gumpert should make
the presentation address could not
have been made; and this is what
he said:
For the third time within as
many years have we met today to
welcome a fellow passenger on life's
journey at that way station which,

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
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-

It can be readily adjusted by

Twin machines are placed on

all complete.
The large number already in use
in factories in New York, New Jer-

is evidence of the superiority of the

an obituary, but at which today,
thanks to applied science, the human
locomotive halts but long enough
for an anniversary dinner; to resume
to-morrow its mad rush of emulation
and hot competition towards a goal
that knows no limit but the survival
of the fittest.
Hence, as envy holds its bated
breath, while love and admiration
j stretches forth its hand of congratu-
lation, we behold Otto Eisenlohr,
with true consistency, linking his
mascot number Cinco to that ought
that rounds out his ripe manhood
of 50 years, just as the same figure
when wedded to seven oughts,
points the finger of his ambition
towards an annual output of fifty
million cigars.
Why then should I venture on
the wings of Pegasus to soar to
higher flights of fancy, when our
friend Otto has already copyrighted
the trick, and his industrial ostrich,
with its six- colored plumage, is
safely perched upon every point of
vantage, whether roof top or awning
post, laughing to scorn the poor
marksmanship of that giant machine
gunner, who in spite of his lament-
able failure here, does not appear to
care a "Continental" whether he
missed the bird's eye in Philadel-
phia, as long as he hits the bull's
eye in Wall street?
And that reminds me of a little
experience of my own, when, the
: other night, while passing a little
cigar store up town, a friend asked
me to come In and have a smoke,
and as we entered, turned to me
saying in a loud voice "Do
they sell your cigars here, Mr.
Gumpert?" Immediately the pro-
prietor, a weazen faced old man, with
a toothless jaw and a cracked voice,
leaned across the counter, and eye-
ing me very closely exclaimed:
"Oh, you are the Cinco man; well
I don't keep your cigar any longer
since your salesman turned me down
last week." Sizing up the situation
at a glance, I spoke up with a vin-
dictive smile: "My friend, you are
sadly mistaken, for the man's name
who makes the Cinco is Eisenlohr. ' '
Now, in my youth, I have danced
with his sweethearts until I was
threatened with heart failure. In
my early manhood, I have run down
his cigars to his customers, until I
got my head broke, and in my old
age I have eaten his Bellevue
lunches until they gave me the
dyspepsia. But right there my
friend I draw the line, and I must
positively refuse to be laid out at
another man's funeral, who, when
last heard from, happened to be
very much alive.
Far be it from my mind to lift
the sacred curtain that guards a
man's domestic life from the public
gaze, yet all of us are aware of the
high respect for his sound judg-
ment, of the deep affection for his
generous heart, and the exultant
pride in his sterling integrity, that
draws Otto Eisenlohr 's family,
whether wife or daughter, brother
or sister, to the head of their house.
And just as the horizon reflects its
rosy coloring upon the placid waters
of a deep summer sea, these char-
acteristics have impressed them-
selves upon all who know him, and
it is in recognition of the safe ad-
visor, the genial friend, and the
honest merchant, that I stand here,
Mr. Eisenlohr, as the mouthpiece
of the old guard of your fellow
manufacturers, to oflFer you as a
tribute of their highest regard, a
little surprise awaiting you at home,
as a souvenir of the day you cele-
brate, and as you touch the fifty-
first rung of the ladder that leads to
eternity, it is our earnest prayer
that with each successive rung you
may continue to enjoy those bless-
ings that God in his mercy has in
store for you.

A Silver Pipe for 50 Cents.
A prominent Wall street man told
the following story on himself the
other day, but made his hearers
promise that under no conditions
whatever would they reveal his
name, as he did not wish to be
bothered by the beggar who figures
in the storv.
The Wall street man was walking
with a friend down Broadway when
at Twenty-third street, he was ac-
costed by a beggar. The man was
more persistent than the ordinary
mendicant, and, to get rid of him,
the broker said :
"I will give you fifty
cents if you will give me
your coat."
..i?"All right, Boss," re-
plied the beggar, and
within a moment the
change had been made.
The broker and his
friend then turned back
and went up Fifth ave-
nue to the Holland
House. Still carrying
thebeggar'scoattheman
of finance strolled intothe
bar and began telling the
story to his friends.
"I think you made a
bad bargain," said one.
' ' Look in the pockets, "
said another.
And as the broker went
through the ragged gar-
ment he pulled forth 45
cents Ih money, a silver-
tipped pipe, a flask of
whiskey, and a pouch of tobacco.
"You see he replied, "this only
proves that I never make a bad
trade, even when I don't know what
I am buying." — N. Y. Times.

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The leaf market has shown a fair
record during the past week, and
business seems to be slightly im-
proved. Inquiries for certain lines
of goods are getting stronger, in-
dicating a shortage in the hands of
manufacturers. Broad leaf has been
in good demand. Wisconsin in
particular, is not wanting for cus-
tomers, put they do not seem to
want it at the prices now asked.
Cheap binder and wrapper stock
is fast becoming exhausted.
Sumatra conditions might be bet-
ter, and new goods do not appear
to be in as strong demand as was
anticipated.
Havana is at least holding its
own, if not gaininglsome each day.

As Subert Sees It.
'•Subert's Monthly Visitor" is a
publication sent out monthly by H.
Subert & Son, leaf tobacco dealers
of Chicago, 111., in the May issue
says: "In 1890 there were 10,956
manufacturers in the United States
and in 1900, the number had in-
creased to 14,539, or almost one-
third; this increase has been mainlj
in the middle west
"From our experience we believe
that the increased production — for
there has been a most decided in-
crease in the number of cigars man-
ufactured during this period — is be-
ing gradually distributed among
the manufacturers in the middle
and western states. A new factor
has developed, of course, in the
Porto Rican cigar, which may
have had some eflFect on the eastern
output, but the fact remains that
the consumption of domestic cigars
is as large as ever, and the natural
inference is that the production is
being more equally distributed and
that the manufacturers in the middle
and western states are getting a
larger share of the business than
ever before."
Mr. Subert may not know it, but
in 1900 there were over 23,000
registered manufacturers of cigars in
the United States, and in 1901 there
were over 38,000.

Andrew Schauh Dead.
Peaceful End In Career of Weli-
Known Pittsburg Leaf Dealer.
Andrew Schaub, one of the oldest
wholesale tobacco dealers in Pitts-
burg, died on Monday last at his
home, No. 557 Larimer avenue.
East End, of brights disease. Mr,
Schaub was born in Ernininder,
Bavaria, and came to the United
States in 1 848, settling in Baltimore,
Md. Some years later he went to
Pittsburg, and embarked in the to-
bacco business, in which business
he remained until his death. He
was one of the oldest members of
the SS. Peter and Paul's Roman
Catholic church, East End. He is
survived by his widow aud seven
children: Anthony and Jerome,
wholesale fruit dealers in Liberty
avenue; Frederick and Frank, as
sociated with their father in the to
bacco trade; Henry, a real estate
and insurance broker of the East
End, and Joseph Schaub. Mr.
Schaub's only daughter is a nun in
a Kansas convent and is known as
Mother Jerome.
Prominent members of the Pitts
burg trade at a meeting held last
week passed resolutions of regret,
(see elsewhere) as a mark of sym-
pathy and respect, which were
ordered to be engrossed and pre-
sented to the bereaved family as
well as published in the trade press.

for the injunction were Leschke &
Pletcher of Hartford, who have for
many years manufactured a brand
of cigars under that title.
Mr. Simons was represented by
an attorney named Purdy when his
case came up previously and an ad
journment was secured. Judge
Thayer sitting last week particu-
larly to hear the matter. Attorney
Purdy was not on hand then but
Mr. Simons was, and he addressed
the court, saying:
"Judge, I'm in a kind of a box
this morning and I don't really
know what I ought to do. I didn't
have money enough to pay my
lawyer to be here to day and I wish
you could let it go over till next
week."
Judge Thayer was unable to see
how he could continue to hold
special sessions for an indeSnite
period for the purpose of consider
ing the matter and he said he could
only grant the temporary injunc-
tion. It was not assured that the
defendant would be in any better
circumstances next week than at
present and if he desired to test the
case further he could move through
an attorney later to have the injunc-
tion dissolved.

Sister Mar fa's Pipe.
Dr. Henry van Dyke, the new
Moderator of the One Hundred and
Fourteenth Presbyterian Assembly,
sat in the Waldorf-Astoria recently,
while to an appreciative surround
ing he told this story: "A certain
colored clergyman in the South had
among his parishioners an old
colored 'mammy' whose short com
ings and backslidings were many
and who caused the old minister to
make numerous trips to 'mammy's'
old shanty, followed by exhortation
and prayers. After a long time he
succeeded in causing the old lady to
renounce one by one each of her bad
habits until none remained but the
old black pipe.
" 'Sister Marfa,' he said solemnly
one night after an unusually long
argument, 'how you spec to meet
yo'r Lord wif sech a baccy bref ?'
" 'Bless you, honey, dat's all
right,' cried mammy. 'Befo' I
meets my Lord I specs to lose my
bref.' "— N. Y. Times.

IN MEMORIAM.
On the occasion of the death of
Andrew Schaub, which occurred
June 2, 1902, the members of the
Leaf Tobacco Trade of Pittsburg
met and adopted the following reso-
lutions:
Whereas: It has pleased Provi
dence to call from our midst, our
friend and fellow member,
Andrew Schaub,
And Whereas: We deem it ap
propriate to give expression to our
deep sorrow at this sad event, as
well as to the profound feeling of
regard and esteem in which we have
always held our deceased fellow
member, whose demise, although he
was the Nestor of the Leaf Tobacco
Trade of this city, was yet untimely
and unexpected.
Be it Resolved, That we publicly
acknowledge, that in the death of
Andrew Schaub, the bereaved family
deplores the loss of a kind father and
loving husband; the community, an
honored and upright citizen; and
the trade, a man, than whom no
more honorable and conscientious
merchant ever lived. His memory
will always be cherished;
And be it Resolved, That as a
mark of sympathy and respect, the
sorrowing family be presented with
a copy of these Resolutions suitably
engrossed ;
And be it also Resolved, That a
copy of these Resolutions be sent to
the trade papers for ptiblication.

Latest News from York, Pa.
More than the ordinary amount
of collections are being reported, a
circumstance due probably to bad
trade generally experienced else-
where.
While the "trust" goods are a
back number in York the Cubanola
cigar is a good seller across the
river, according to recent reports.
The factories of W. C. Smith and
George W. Gable, at Windsorville,
are both ordinarily busy, having
the usual amount of orders on hand
Together with a few of his
bachelor friends, Bob Granat
will occupy quarters of his own in
the near future in the West End.
The place will be tastefully fur-
nished in an up to- date manner as
soon as the "furnishing" arrives
from New York in which city he
has been for the past few days.
Frank Slack, a manufacturer of
Middletown, was in the city on
Saturday last, and the following
New York salesmen were here dur-
ing the week: Edward Levison,
with A Cohn & Co., Bob Uhler,
with Sutter Bros., Mr. Snath, with
Schroeder & Arguimbau.
Trade in Reading.
The cigar manufacturing busi-
ness here still continues a little dull,
owing to the coal strike, and many
orders have been rescinded. A cer-
tain agent returned from the coal
regions last week. He said he
didn't sell enough goods to earn
his salt in the two weeks he was
there. Plenty of orders can be had,
but no cash, he said. Of course
not all the manufacturers here are
suffering from this depression, as
many send their goods outside of
the state and are quite busy. The
ordinary manufacturers employing
from five to twenty hands suffer
most. A brighter outlook is pre-
dicted later in the summer.
John G McGaw, who represents
the firm of Yocum Bros, in the
south, is spending a few days in
Reading, and is registered at the
Mansion House. He is located at
Baltimore, but covers the entir«
south. He reports the sales of the
firm's leading brands as steadily in-
creasing, and regards the trade out-
look as bright.
Jacob C. Taylor, formerly a labor
leader in this city, has been chosen
president of the Federated Trades'
Council, of Orange, N. J. He is
working at his trade as a cigarmaker
at that place, having left Reading
about a year ago.

THE TOBACCO WORLD
NOW IS A
GOOD TIME
Th<
lik(
lere 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
monev naturally possesses the
keenest possible interest for
you.
We are not guessing about
the DuRral 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.
-^
^k<?>^
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 tind 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.

About the same conditions pre

the market for good grades of last
year's crop but is not reported as
having made any purchases. M.

there have been several small ship-
ments from the warehouses. Grow-
ers are getting ready to transplant,
and a few are reported as having al-
ready commenced. The plants as a
rule look well, but are small on ac
count of the unfavorable weather.

casional sales of older tobacco are
now and then reported at prices
ranging from 4 and 2c to 9^c
through. Very few choice crops of
new tobacco are yet held by farmers,
and unless something unexpected
•ccurs the bulk of that remaining is
likely to sell at the lower quotation.
Considerable of transplanting has
been indulged in lately, and not
withstanding the rumors of scarcity
of plants and damage by earth fleas
and frost, there will be an abund-
ance of the weed grown this year.
— News.
EDGERTON, WIS.
The buying movement is fast
closing down, only a small portion
of the crop now remains in growers'
hands. Some riding is being done 1
for the scattering lots but sales are
reduced to a limited number, at
prices varying according to the
quality of the remnants secured,
with a prospect that quotations will
soon cease altogether.
Little has occurred during tht
week to break the monotony of a
dull market for cured goods. Geo.
Rumrill reports the sale of 280 cases
of 1900 for the week. LB. Carle
& Son have sold nearly 300 cases of
low grade goods to export We
learn also of the sale of 100 cases of
190 1 by a local packer on an export
order.
Planting of the new crop is be
coming quite general iu all sections
The plants are everywhere ready
for the fields and the growers are
crowded with the work of preparing
their tobacco lands. Under favor
able weather conditions a large part
of the crop will be transplanted the
coming week. Cut worms are do
ing some damage in the fields.

The market this week opened
stronger and remained quite active
throughout the sale, with large pri-

when the tobacco is the best known
to the trade and selling at very low
prices as compared with the past
few years, Bremen styles ranging —

The weather is seasonable, and
90 per cent, of the crop is planted
in this and adjoining counties, but
the crop will not be as large as last

bad, doing damage in many sec-
tions, and plants are not abundant.
Many fields have been planted sev-

LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
MinaUctarcrs' Bonds.
A manufacturer, who complained
that the collector for his district had
doubled the penal sum of his bond,
and had required him to procure
additional security, though he had
been manufacturing cigars under
the old bond for several years, was
adrised thata collector has authority
to fix the amount stipulated in a
bond, must determine for himself
whether the security offered is suf
ficient, and may demand, within
reasonable bounds, whatever secur-
^ jjj^ ity he desires.
DcsttDCtion of Worthless Leaf Tobacco.
A cigar manufacturer was recently
advised that leaf tobacco unfit for
manufacturing cigars could be de-
stroyed, under the supervision of a
■deputy collector, by burning or mix-
ing the same with lime, ashes, sul-
phur, bone dust or other such sub-
stance, and that the manufacturer
could have credit in his account for
the quantity of leaf tobacco material
so destroyed, but that credit would
not be allowed for tobacco stems or
other waste material resulting or
accumulating by the handling of
leaf tobacco.
Tobacco Manofactoring in State lastitotions.
A collector who inquired whether
smoking and chewing tobacco might
be manufactured in a State's prison,
for the exclusive use of the inmates
thereof, without government super-
vision or the payment of tax, was
advised that no objection has been
made to the managers of a State's
prison manufacturing smoking and
chewing tobacco within the prison
premises for the exclusive use of the
prisoners confined therein, but that
such products could not be removed
from the prison premises unstamped
for the use of persons employed
outside of the prison premises under
contract labor laws, or for the use
of the inmates of other State insti-
tutions.
"Dummy" Cignr Packages,
In reply to an inquiry in regard
to the use of "dummy" cigar boxes
for show window advertising pur
poses, the Commissioner has ruled
that dealers are not privileged to
use "dummy" packages or boxes
which are the counterpart of statu-
tory boxes, bearing the required
brands, marks or caution notice
labels or a strip of paper in imita-
tion of an Internal Revenue stamp,
and that such boxes, although
empty, would be in violation of
section 3455 of the Revised Statutes,
but that a dealer or manufacturer
could use boxes which would be
similar to those used for packing
cigars, if no mark, brand, caution
notice label, or strip of paper in
imitation of a stamp appears on such
boxes. If the boxes are sealed, how
ever, and found intermingled with
statutory boxes containing cigars,
the "dummy" boxes may be broken
open by an Internal Revenue officer
to determine whether the same con
tain cigars, the tax on which has
not been paid.
Cigar Vending Machines.
An inventor recently requested
authority to make a machine for
vending cigars, which would not
deliver the cigars from the orginal
boxes, the cigars being removed
therefrom in bundles of 25 or 50
cigars and placed in the machines.
He was advised that such machines
must be so constructed that they
will deliver the cigars to the con-
sumer directly from the stamped
box, which must show that it had
been properly labeled, branded and
stamped by a qualified manufacturer
of cigars; and, therefore, that such
machines are usually provided with
a glass front or sides, which will j
expose the box of cigars, which 1
may be officially inspected without
unlocking the machine to determine
when the stamp was applied, and by
whom, the registered factory num
ber and the district and the caution
notice label.
Cigarette Vending Machines.
An inventor, who desired 10 per-
fect a machine for vending cigar-
ettes, provided the manufacturer
would be permitted to pack the ci-
garettes in boxes containing 200 or
250 cigarettes each, and to affix to
each box two or more Internal
Revenue stamps, was informed that
cigarettes must be put up in boxes
containing 10, 20, 50, or 100 cigar
ettes, respectively, and to each box
must be affixed a single Internal
Revenue stamp denoting the num-
ber of cigarettes contained in the
box and upon which the tax had
been paid, and that there is no
statutory provision for boxes con-
taining a greater number of cigar-
ettes than 100; further, that the sale
of cigarettes from vending machines
at retail from stamped boxes has
I not been authorized, but that ma-
I chines heretofore authorized for
I vending cigarettes deliver to the
consumer an entire box containing
10, 20 or 50 cigarettes, properly
labeled and stamped, and that a
machine intended to retail cigar-
ette from the stamped package had
not been and would not be approved.
Stripping ol Leal Tobacco by Mandfactwets.
A collector was recently advised i
that a manufacturer can not be per-
mitted to remove leaf tobacco from
his factory premises for the purpose
of having it stripped and stemmed
and afterward returned to his fac-
tory, as stemming the leaf is held.

to be a process of manufacturing
and all the acts performed in con-
nection with stemming, resweating
or cutting the leaf must be done on
the bonded premises. Further,
that no allowance would be made to
the manufacturer in case of loss of
the tobacco by fire, theft or other-
wise, when it had been so removed
from the factory. Manufacturers
who desire to strip their tobacco
outside of the bonded premises are
privileged to qualify as dealers in
leaf tobacco, who may strip their
tobacco before transferring it to
themselves as manufacturers. At-
tention was called to page 18 of the
Regulations, No. 8, second para-
graph, relating to dealers in leaf
tobacco who stem their tobacco and
thereafter sell it in hogsheads, cases
or bales, and to the fourth para-
graph on page 24, relating to the
same subject.
Porto Rican Cigars.
In reply to a recent inquiry about
a small shipment of 100 or 200 ci-
gars in box by mail from Porto
Rico, the Commissioner replied that
there was no authority for cigars
being brought into the United States
through the mails, even though they
might bear Internal Revenuestamps
and that the regulations anticipated
that boxes containing cigars should
form a part of the cargo and be in-
cluded in the manifest of a vessel
employed in the carrying trade be-
tween Porto Rico and the United
States.
In regard to the purchase of
stamps to be affixed in Porto Rico
to cigars before shipment to the
United States, another inquirer was
advised that the Regulations (De-
partment Circular No. 81) provide
for the sale of stamps by Collectors
of Internal Revenue to any person
who would call for them, and which
must be imprinted with the letters
"P. R." or the words "Porto Rico,"
and which could subsequently be
sent to Porto Rico and affixed to
boxes containing cigars intended
for subsequent delivery and sale in '
the United States, and that on their
arrival in the United States the
Customs Service would release the
goods without unnecessary deten-
tion or delay at a bonded warehouse
or public store.
Leaf Shipments to Potto Rico.
The request of a manufacturer for
permission to ship a lot of leaf to-
bacco to a manufacturer in Porto
Rico was recently refused for the
reason that the regulations, under
Department Circular No. 81, act
approved April 12, 1900, entitled
"An act temporarily to provide
revenues and a civil government for
Porto Rico and for other purposes , ' '
do not provide for the transfer of
leaf tobacco, scraps, cuttings or
clipping by a manufacturer in the
United States to a manufacturer in
Porto Rico. Under present condi-
tions no fcupervision is^majntained
by the authorities in the United
States over cigar factories in Porto
Rico, and the provisions of section
3362 of the Revised Statutes, allow-
ing one manufacturer in the United
States to transfer tobacco scraps,
cuttings, clippings or other tobacco
material to another manufacturer,
do not apply to such cases. It was
suggested that the manufacturer
in the United States could transfer
his leaf tobacco to a qualified dealer
in leaf tobacco in his district, under
a special permit to be issued by the
Collector on Form 100, and have
credit in his account for the actual
quantity of such material trans-
ferred, and that the person who
receives the tobacco (being a quali-
fied dealer in leaf tobacco) may then
ship the same to the manufacturer
in Porto Rico without restriction.
Subdivision Packages ol Smoking Tobaeco.
A manufacturer recently sub-
mitted for the Commissioner's ap-
proval, in accordance with the Reg-
ulations, No. 8, page 38, relating
to subdivision packages, a small
pasteboard package bearing the
trade mark and the registered fac-
tory number and the words, "This
is an authorized subdivision taken
from a properly stamped package,"
and containing not more than one-
fifth of an ounceof smokingtobacco,
for free sample distribution to con-
sumers, eighty of these subdivisons
to be repacked in a large package
containing, in the aggregate, six-
teen ounces of tobacco, and properly
branded and stamped. The manu-
facturer was advised that similar
packages could be used by him
when repacked in larger packages
containing in the aggregate a statu-
tory quantity of tobacco not exceed-
ing 16 ounces, properly labeled and
stamped, but he was cautioned that
statutory packages of tobacco or
snufi" upon which tax has been paid
by affixing stamps thereto can not
lawfully be broken for the purpose
of distributing the subdivisions to
unstamped packages or to con-
sumers through the mail, but that
after the stamped package had been
removed from the factory premises,
it could then be broken open and
the subdivisions distributed to con-
sumers directly from the package.
Allowance lor Stems and Waste.
A collector who inquired whether
a person who had qualified under
the Regulations, No 8, page 33, as
I a manufacturer of tobacco to buy
and sell stemmed and unstemmed
leaf tobacco and tobacco scraps and
cuttings, but who does not manu-
factiire tobacco, is entitled to a
credit of 25 per cent, allowed to
manufacturers for stems and waste
in manufacturing, was advised that
if such person purchases unstemmed
leaf tobacco, which is subsequently
stemmed at his place of business,
he could be allowed a sum not to
exceed 25 per centum for stems and
waste, to be computed on the entire
quantity of unstemmed tobacco
stemmed at this factory, but no
credit would be allowed in his ac-
count for stems and waste resulting
from rehandling tobacco scraps
cuttings or clippings of tobacco
which had been purchased from
other manufacturers.

Cuba, before Columbus came, when Menelaus in slippers by the evening Caesar, had they one and all but plained that he had *' very poor and
the happy red people, the truest de- lamp, an adoring and faithful Helen smoked cigars. In the calm which unhappy brains for drinking," and
votees tobacco has ever known,
bent their calm faces over the
wreathing smoke, or raised them in
adoration of that Unknown Being
who had provided so marvelous a
blessing.
Gone is that golden age, but
every lover of the cigar may bring
it back again and make himself the
center of that blissful environment
if he but will. Peace, peace, and
again peace is the mission of the
cigar.
Has it ever occurred to you that
the reason men persist in smoking
after the qualms ensuant upon a
first indulgence, is an unconscious
yearning to attain in themselves
somewhat of that stoicism which
characterized the American savage?
It was his tobacco that made the
Indian stoical. His personal dignity
won theadmiration of the Europeans
who first made his acquaintance.
To discern what it was that made
the Indian, a wild creature of the
woods, a man of stately bearing is
not difficult. He had in the tobacco
plant, the uses of which he had dis
covered by what chance tradition
does not say, a master of ceremonies,
a teacher of deportment, such as the
household of no king on earth has
ever been able to boast, and he had
no other teacher. That however
Mr. M. E. Flaherty.
wished that "courtesy would invent
some other custom of entertain-
ment." Behold, courtesy has in-
vented the cigar. The cigar has
minimized ill doing and evil think-
ing in the world; it has won men to
kindly thoughts and courteous
deeds. No man has ever quarreled
with another, each of whom had a
cigar between his teeth. No deed
of violence was ever committed
by a man in the act of smoking a
cigar. Compute for yourself all the
quiet hours men spend in the com-
panionship of the weed, and then if
you would estimate, with something
like correctness, the good the cigar
has done and is doing, imagine what
mischief would have been afoot in
a cigarless world.
To the dumb stoicism of the ab-
original smokers of this continent
have succeeded the enlightened
calm akin toa philosophical stoicism
yet not otherwise resembling that
cold and academic condition, and a
dignity of personal bearing that is
as far in advance of the jerky and
petulant demeanor of the days when
Paris destroyed the happy home of
Menelaus, as a first class modern
house is in advance of a lodge in the
wilderness.
The broadened intellect, the
cruel and vindictive the Indians quietly watching him from the would have come upon their souls

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
Special days aflFord special occa-
sions for window dressing, and no
day oflfers a more favorable oppor
tunity than July Fourth. It is a
day which permits of the use of a
perfect riot of color and a perfect
outpouring of enthusiasm as ex-
pressed in a window decoration as
loud as one pleases. What could
not be tolerated at any other time
becomes permissible upon this day,
and without attempting to make an
artistic trim almost any one can
make up something which will at
tract trade and at the same time in-
terpret the spirit of the day.
Unlike Memorial Day, the Fourth
is a day of the most enthusiastic
expression of joyousness. What-
ever else one may do there is always
an expectation that he will make a
noise, the more the better, and if
he does that he will surely live up
to the best traditions of the day.
It is a hurrah time, and as such it
creates a feeling which can be ap-
pealed to chiefly by making up
flaming windows which will con
vey the impression of the spirit of
'76, When one has accomplished
that he has done all that is required
of him.
There is another good thing about
the special trim which should ac
company the Fourth. Any dealer
can make up one. It doesn't re-
quire plate glass windows to make
it look well, and yet a decoration
will look quite as well behind plate
glass as it will in a small window,
or vice versa. For this much all
dealers should be thankful.
The main idea must be to repro-
duce the spirit of the day, and the
best way to do that is to made the
window a mass of color, chiefly the
national colors, or some combina
tion in which the national colors
are predominant. It isn't a ques
tion of what to use; that much is
determined by the day itself. But
it is rather in the way it is used. It
is possible to so decorate a window,
even with the national colors that
it will have a repulsive rather than
an attractive appearance. And
even the flag, with its artistic ac
companiments, garnished with a
plentiful supply of goods which
customers want, can't overcome the
unfavorable impression. Extreme
care must, therefore, be exercised,
else the window will fall flat and
the time expended in making up
the decoration be lost.
The first thing to do is to cover
the back and sides with the flag,
either draped or merely hung. It
doesn t matter particularly which.
Possibly in a tall, rather narrow
window, it would look better if the
flag were hung, with the star field
uppermost. In a wide and rather
low window it would certainly look
better draped. In both instances
the dominant characteristics of the
windows would be modified, and
modified in such a way that their
natural attractiveness would be in-
creased, which is essential in many
cases. The floor of the window
should never be covered with the
flag. It isn't wise to tread the
national ensign under foot. It will
be perfectly satisfactory to cover
the floor with crepe paper in the
national colors with the stripes run-
ning across the window, if it is
wide, or lengthwise if it is narrow.
Upon this basis you can build
your trim.
It would be well if the steps or
shelves, which have frequently been
described in these columns, were
introduced before the floor is
covered They are exceedingly
handy appurtenances upon which
to display the goods which you will
offer during that week. Over them
can be placed the crepe paper, or
bunting, just as you happen to
i have handiest. The crepe paper is
i mentioned because its cost is very
1 small and special stock is prepared
I for this purpose. Leading manu-
facturers make a sort of paper
for decorating which is better for
this purpose than anything else pro
curable.
Having completely covered the
window with the national colors, it
is then in order to introduce the
goods, which ought to comprise a
representative line, including every-
thing you ordinarily sell and also
some goods specially procured for
this brief holiday occasion . Buyers
will be looking for bargains, and it
is profitable to have these bargains
to oflfer.
Arrange them as artistically as
you can upon the shelves, showing
th^ different classes of goods in
illustrative positions, and also in
such positions that they will easily
emphasize each other. That will
help sell the goods, and at the same
time make a very attractive window.
It will scarcely be necessary to
undertake a detailed description of

the various goods which ought to
be used and their arrangement Let
it suffice to say that the stock, what
ever it may contain, should be in-
dexed in the window. This should
be made so plain by means of ap
propriate lettered cards that any
body can understand it without
further explanation. Otherwise it
may be that the decoration will be
misunderstood, and possible pur-
chasers will pass without giving the
window and its decorations any
particular attention.
This window can stay in a week
or more, and if the arrangement is
satisfactory there will be no question
about it selling goods all the time.
Short time trims are generally such
as have received very little attention,
and are good only for a particular
day, but the patriotic sentiment
aroused by the return of July 4 does
not wane with the day Instead, it is
prevalent for a week or more before
and a week or more after, and your
window can safely remain during
this perii)d.
It is needless to expend any con-
siderable amount of money upon
the decorations. The flag is suffi-
cient to create a favorable impres-
sion, and if you accomplish that
you reach the end for which all are
j striving. professionals and ambitious
amateurs Without it, you can ac-
complish nothing; with it, every-
thing will be conquered Therefore,
whatever else you do, determine to
reach simplicity and strength, but
withal, a faithful representation of
the dominant idea of the occasion
commemorated.

What to Do to Be Saved.
A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions in the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.
IV.
Let us consider the burdens ol
the big people.
In that they have to find a mar
ket for their cigars they are on the
same footing with the smallest ol
the small, lor ultimately each ap
peals to that most uncertain of be
ings, the individual consumer.
No one who reads his daily paper
can fail to have noticed an almost
unanimous expression of feeling
against huge corporations engaged
in supplying the wants of the
people. The discussion of tne
methods of the so called beef trust
is fresh in every mind, and the
words of Dr. Patton, who has just
resigned the presidency of Princeton
University, when he declared that
owing to the aggressions of corpor
ations, matters in the United States
were coming to such a pass that
even the brightest and most capable
young men hesitated about getting
married, have found lodgement in
hundreds of thousands of hearts.
The beef packers of Chicago and
New York, who are popularly held
responsible for the recent unpre
cedented rise in the price of meats,
allege in their defense that they are
not to blame for present conditions,
yet every one of the small butchers
who have been driven out of busi-
ness, with one voice accuses the big
packers.
In the cigar field the small dealers
make no accusations against the
big manufacturing corporations
They are courteously and consider-
ately treated and the numerous free
"deals" undoubtedly redound to
the advantage of the retailer. If he
chooses to give his customers the
benefit by selling largely advertised
brands at less than the advertised
price that is altogether his own
atfair At the prices at which they
sell their product to the wholesaler
and the retailer the big corporations
are able to earn satisfactory divi
dends upon their stock, and that is,
after all, their chief concern
According to the original defini-
tion of the word, there is not, and
there never has been a tobacco
'trust " All that the big corpora-
tions engaged in manufacturing ci-
gars, cigarettes, smoking and chew
lug tobacco really possess is the
proprietorship of certain widely
known brands. No corporation
now in existence would dream of
' comering" Sumatra, or Havana,
or Pennsylvania, or New England
leaf, any more than it would dream
of buying all the crop grown in
Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia or
North Carolina The great corpora-
tions originate few brands Posses-i-
ing as they do brands univerj-a ly
known, and constantly newly ex-
ploited, they content themselves
with keeping alive an active de
mand for these. They possess such
a multiplicity of brands tlat they
willingly suflFer a few of them to
die. Dr Palton would doutitles^
be greatly surprised were he to niakt
the aiquaintauce of the large num
ber of young men eniploxed by the
big tobacco manufactuiing corpora
tions who are already married or
who ari contemplating matrimony
These young men are less dubious
of the luture, than are other of like
ageengaged in independent pursuits
either in the field of tobacco or any
other field, and it is precisely be
cause of this contentment that the
corporations grow stronger Their
employees know that so long as
they are faithful and industrious
they may aspire to promotion. Pro-
motion among these employees is
earned by merit alone. There is no
such thing as "pull." It may be
true, as was stated by the cigar sales-
man who has already been quoted
in this series of articles, that the oc-
cupation of the high salaried cigar

value of a specimen of tobacco. As
in the case of tea, coffee, cognac,
etc., the sole criterions, in this
direction, must be the gustatory
organs of the expert connoisseur.
In his experiments, made with a
view of discovering, if possible,
some new method of determining
the value of any given specimen of
tobacco. Herr Thoms determined
the proportions of the principal ele-
ments of tobacco smoke. Redeter-
mined, first, the quantity of nicotin
that a tobacco of a known and defi-
nite composition gives off, as such,
with the smoke as well as the
amount that passes off by decom-
position into pyridic bases; second,
the amount of carbonous residue,
ash and its composition; third, the
amount of carbonic oxide, fourth,
amount of empyreumatic oil; fifth,
the amount of hydrocyanic acid.
The apparatus used by Herr
Thoms was especially constructed
for him. It consisted of a tube for
holding a cigar, with a receptacle
beneath, for catching the ash. This
tube (analogous to the mouthpiece
or cigar holder") is ultimately
connected with a draught tube, it-
self attached to a hydrant in such
manner that when the water is al-
lowed to flow the stream produces
an uniform draught, by which the
smoke and gases arising from com-
bustion are drawn through, first,
two flasks, each containing a 10
per cent, aqueous solution of caustic
soda, which takes up the carbonic,
butyric, and hydrocyanic acids (if
the latter be present, though thus
far only insignificant traces have
been detected).
Thence the smoke passes con-
secutively through three flasks
charged with a 10 per cent, solu-
tion of sulphuric acid, and which
retain the acids, the nicotin, and
the pyridic bases. Leaving these,
the smoke is carried through a flask
containing fresh defibromated and
filtered blood, which fixes the car-
bonic oxide. The last flask con-
tains dry cotton lint, the object of
which is to absorb the empyreu-
matic oil. The draught is arranged
so that it will consume from five-
sixths to nine-tenths ot a cigar in
20 minutes.
The residual nicotin of the stump
or butt of the cigar is determined
directly.
In practice, after the cigar is
burned to the desired point, a steam
jet is thrown into the first two
flasks, by which means the dis-
solved alkalies are carried into the
next three flasks. The mixed alka-
line solutions are extracted by agi-
tation with ether, and, after acidu-
lation with sulphuric acid, sub-
mitted to distillation. If hydro-
cyanic acid be present in the dis-
tillate, it will be shown by the usual
test, and by its transformation into
Prussian blue.
In a similar manner the acid solu-
tions are exhausted with the ether
derived from the preceding distilla-
tion, then rendered alkaline, and
leached by steam; the distillate, con-
taining the pyridic bases, nicotine
and ammonia, is acidified with

The market for the week ending
June 7 has ruled somewhat quieter
as far as transactious in leaf tobacco
are concerned, the total amount of
sales not amounting to 2,000 bales
in all, the bulk of which consisted
of old Remedios first and second
capadnras, while small lots of old
Vuelta colas and possibly a vega or
two of new Partido factory tobacco
must be included. Prices, however,
are firmly maintained, and in cases
where holders insisted upon higher
figures, buyers were unable to exe-
cute orders on hand at their limits.
The tendency is surely favoring a
rising market, although until the
demand is more general it may not
be noted everywhere, as usually
during the slack season somebody
may be encountered needing money
who would be willing to make a
sacrifice in order to be accommo
dated with cash, these few and far
between sellers forming the excep
tion to the rule.
New Crop.
Rains distributed more or less all
over the diflferent tobacco districts
during the week have even helped
to make farmers of the Remedios
region take down their tobaccos
from the poles bundle them and
pile them up, while in the Vuelta
[Abajoand Partido it accentuated
and caused renewed activity in the
various packings.
I Pinar del Rio — More or less com
plaint is heard from the farmers,
owing to their being docked by the
buyers in the field upon old con-
tracts, because the latter claim that
at the prices agreed upon as to the
promised standard in wrappers and
quality, the same does not come up
to the verbal agreement at the time
of the purchase, and therefore un
less prices are modified they are
compelled to reject the tobacco
bought. Similar complaints are
heard every year, and while in some
cases advantage might be taken of
the farmers, the latter as a rule are
also to blame in not distinguishing
between their purchasers at the
time the contract is made, and pre
fering to take their chances in get-
ting a dollar or two more per
quintal, knowirg well enough that
the buyer will crawl out of his con
tract, if he has the least ground or
pretext to throw up the latter. As
long as avarice and cupidity are
predominant in human nature, such
double dealings upon both sides
seem unavoidable, still there are
enough straightforward, honest
buyers, as well as farmers, who each
considers his word as good as his
bond, and where no diflfcrences
arise at the time of receiving the to-
bacco.
Vinales. — The escojida of El
Gimagua has been commenced, and
having bought more than 100,000
cujes and being still buying, the
probability is it will last a long
time, and thus give bread and
sustenance to a large number of
families, as men, women and child-
ren are all employed here during
the summer time in the various
manipulations of a packing of to-
bacco. Facundo Gutierrez has also
started a large escojida which
promises to last a long while, owing
to the quantity of leaf purchased.
Consolacion de) Sur has three
escojidas going, one of the principal
being that of Don Benito Balestena,
for the old and well known house
of G. Salomon & Bros, of Havana
and New York.
Jose E. Suarez & Co. — Don Jose
Suarez, who is familiarly known as
"El Mocho," has recently purchased
through Manuel Gutierrez (alias
Praviano Chiquito) all the leaf
grown from Mai Paso up to Las
Acostas, including the vegas Vir-
genes, Herreria, Cuevas, Cantera,
and of Marron up to the foot of the
hills of Luis Lazo.
Partido — In Alquizar, San An-
tonio de los Banos, Guira de Melena,
Santiago de las Vegas. Bejucal and
other smaller hamlets too numerous
to mention, everybody is now hard
at work to forward the packing, and
the tobacco as a rule turns out very
fine in silky leaf, even, light colors
and of excellent burn. Such well-
known houses as Jorge P Castaneda
& Co., Garcia & Co., Cano y Hno,
J Puente & Co. , Sobrinos de Antero
Gonzales, Remigio Lopex & Co ,
JoseE Suarez & Co., Aixala& Co ,
G. Salomon & Bros., Bruno Diaz
Sc Co., are receiving regular weekly
consignments of the new crop.
There is only one complaint heard,
and that is, that owing to the high
prices paid to the vegueros and
there being a larger portion of
heavy bodied tobacco mixed in the
bundles than originally calculated
upon, the cost of the light part
suitable for clear Havana manufac-
turers will come very high this year.

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
A fairly good volume of business
was done during the past week, al-
most wholly in smaller lot sales.
There is a very good demand for old
goods of satisfactory quality. Penn-
sylvania broad leaf and Onondaga
B's have been good selling filler
stock this week, and a good lot of
Connecticut force sweat was pur-
chased by a local house.
Sumatra tobacco is moving rather
slowly, that is so far as the new
goods are concerned. The market
has been rather quiet, and manu-
facturers do not seem to buy more
goods than are needed for early use.
The Havana market remains
fairly active and the demand for
factory vegas is fully equal to the
supply apparently available.

An Appeal
TO

TO

%%%%%%%% v»%%%%%«%«%«%%%« %%%%%%%%
READ THE FOLLOWING:
NEW YORK, June 10, 1902.
Hon. O. H. Piatt, Chairman Senate Committee on Relations
with Cuba, Washington, D. C.
The National Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association is unanimous in favoring a reduc-
tion on raw materials in the interest of Cuban reciprocity. A uniform rate of duty is
certainly advisable. We, however, strenuously oppose any reduction whatever on
the manufactured articles of cigars and cigarettes. The American Tobacco Trust has
recently acquired eighty per cent, of the cigar industry of Cuba, and it would be a
serious menace to every independent manufacturer in this country if any concession
were given to the trust on cigars and cigarettes.
SIGMUND ROSENWALD, President.
CHARLES FOX, Secretary.
^%<%%%%i%<%%*<%%%%%%%%%%%%%>% %%%%%%%%
We appeal to every cigar manufacturer in the United States to sustain us in
our efforts to save his independence by writing and telegraphing, on the lines of our
despatch above, to his representatives in the Senate and House of Congress, re-
questing them to uphold us in getting A Uniform Rate on the Leaf from Cuba, and to
Oppose Any Reduction Whatsoever on Cigars and Cigarettes Made In Cuba, the output of
which is now under the absolute control of the American Tobacco Trust, which trust
would alone be benefited from any reduction in cigar duties in a Cuban reciprocity
treaty. ACT PROMPTLY.

New York Leaf Market.
The present week begins well like
an interesting serial story.
The Sumatra importers are re-
ceiving a sufficiency of orders from
their salesmen and through the
mails to keep them cheerful, and
while it is true that there are no old
time large single transactions there
are an encouraging number of
medium sized ones. Prudent buyers
are beginning to appreciate the im
portance of buying now, for they
realize that later on desirable Su-
matra will be hard to find and ex-
pensive to boot. All advices from
Holland agree that there is very
little tobacco suitable for the exact-
ing. American trade in that which
remains to be offered at the later in-
scriptions and consequently prices
for that which has already been
secured shows a tendency to ad-
vance.
The Havana importers are busy.
Several of them announce that they
have sold single lots of from 200 to
350 bales, and that other deals now
pending will probably be satisfac
torily closed during the present
week. These sales, in the face of
the reciprocity measure in Congress,
I indicate first that the manufacturers
j of clear Havana cigars are as busy
j as they profess to be and secondly
that they are running short of stock.
Havana wrappers are admittedly
scarce and hard to find and the
coming crop holds uo very large
quantity of them.
In domestic tobaccos the market
is very quiet. It is already being
reported that the new Connecticut
shows traces of poie sweat.

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 coti
nection with this machine makes a
table that is perfect in its cor-
btruction 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,

is evidence of the superiority of the

LATE NEWS FROM CUBA.
(Concluded from p. 12)
Remedios — The bundling hav
ing only just commenced, nothing
of interest is known yet, but from
now on more reports may be ex
pected, either to confirm previous
poor views, or if such a thing is
possible, to modify them in some
instances.
Cigar factories are moving along
at the accustomed gait, the coming
consolidation of the new and power-
ful Havana Tobacco Co. forming
the absorbing talk. However, as
there is really no increase in the
number of factories, and it is simply
a transfer of existing concerns under
one management, it is but reason
able to suppose that the independent
factories need not fear anything.
In the matter of clear Havana ci
gars it is less the cost of a cigar,
than its aroma and taste with the
rich or well to do consumers, and as
long as the Independents are careful
to acquire only the best leaf and
understand the not so easily to be
acquired secret of blending different
vegas, they will be sure to find a
ready market for their product. A
well-known brand, if uniformly
kept up to its standard, is a fortune
to its owner in the course of years,
but the moment the brand deterior
ates it will lose its customers and
prestige. These facts are well-
known and understood in the trade
The Havana Tobacco Co. enters
the field as a successor of previous
combinations, and if it can conserve
or extend its operations, it ought
to be welcome in the field of com
petition, as it might increase the
consumption of Havana cigars, but
always leaving room for the Inde
pendents, whose strength lies in the
difference of tastes of consumers.
The latter will stick to the able,
conscientious and hard-working ci
gar manufacturer who produces a
superior product and knows how to
maintain it.
The Biggest Warehouse In Havana.
Don Adolfo Moeller has now 62,-
000 bales of leaf tobacco stored in
his San Ambrozio stores in Havana,
the bulk, of course, being for other
people.
Federico Bauriedel & Co. — This
long established and well-known
house, which deals in a number of
products of this island besides to-
bacco and does a large commission
and importing business, has also a
cigar branch under the manage
ment of Don Edmundo Will, who
through hard work and perseverance
has managed to acquire in the
United States, Canada and Europe a
large number of steady customers
who intrust him with their cigar
orders. Don Edmundo has just
shipped some thirty cases, amount
ing to 150,000 cigars, of which 80 •
000 went to the Pacific coast Con
sidering that this is the dull period
of the year, this is certainly a fair
showing, and as he has enough
orders on hand the shipments of the
house of Federico Bauriedel & Co.
will continue thus, and increase in
proportion as the general demand
may increase later on in the season.
Weather in Havana sultry, as
only light, drizzly rains have fallen.

B. van Leer's Mexico.
B. van Leer, of 136 Water street.
New York, informs the trade that
he has on hand a very choi'^e selec
tion of fine Mexican wrapper leaf.
The scarcity of suitable Havana
wrappers is causing manufacturers
of fine cigars to consider the avail
ability of Mexican wrappers. Mr.
van Leer will be pleased to corres-
pond with manufacturers on this
subject, and will forward samples on
application.

During the past two weeks Berks
county farmers, have been busy
setting out tobacco plants; the dan p
weather greatly aiding them in the
work. From present indications a
larger acreage than usual will be
planted. Last year the growers
received a good price for tobacco
and are consequently encouraged
Many aim to have their plants as
large as possible before setting out.
There seems to be more vitality in
them, and they are apt to grow
much larger stalks. Tobacco rais-
ing is an industry which is quite
important for certain sections of
Berks county. It has been found
more profitable than raising wheat,
rye, potatoes or corn. For a num
ber of years the farmers of the south
western section of the county have
been growing tobacco with success.
The soil of other parts might be
found suitable if experimented with,
but some farmers are slow in taking
up with the business. The farmers
who are now growing tobacco have
€very reason to be satisfied with the
results up to this time. The soil
in the section now devoted to the
industry, is every bit as rich and
productive as that of Lancaster
county.
John U. Fehr, who handles a
large block of the tobacco raised
here, stated: "The tobacco crop has
been put out and looks well. The
last time I was down in the tobacco-
growing belt of the county the
farmers were busy putting out their
plants. All said that last year had
been their best season to date, and
that they were devoting more at-
tention to the work now. Follow-
ing is a list of the tobacco growers
in the county and the acreage they
put out this year.

An automatic cigar selling ma-
chine has been patented by John A.
Tognetti. proprietor of the cigar
store at 705 Penn street. It is be
ing adopted by a number of cigar
manufacturing firms. One firm has
ordered twenty- five machines and
is distributing them about the city.
Mr Tognetti is a mechanical genius,
and this machine is the result of
many years patient work. It is 24
inches high, 12 inches wide and
about 6 inches deep. The front
is of cast iron, and is secured with
la lock and key when closed. The
mechanism is simple. At the end
of the glass displaying the cij^ars
is an attractive box in a slot, into
' which the nickel is d''ot>ped Tht
; handle at the side is ^;iven a sharp
turn and a cigar drops out in a tta>
I at the bottom of the case. The
machine has been subjected to a
number of severe tests, but owing
to the simplicity of its mechanism
it has stood them all, Mr Tognetti
will engage in the manufacture of
the machines on a large scale.

MIAMISBURG, OHIO.
Local representativesof an eastern

active buyers of 1901 Zimmer dur
ing the past week. Their purchases
will aggregate several hundred
cases, a portion of which was se
cured in this vicinity at prices vary
ing from 10 to iic, through, and
the remainder near Lyile, at loc.
Farmers are in the midst of trans
planting the crop of this year, con
siderableof which has already been
set out — News.
EDGERTON, WIS
The planting of the new tobacco
crop is now on in fullswing through
out the growing sections, frequent
rains have helped to give a good
stand in the fields and a quick root-
ing of the plants. So far the con-
ditions are decidedly favorable,
while the growerg are working long
hours in getting out the plants.
A few scattering sales of the last
year's crop come to notice though
bat little riding is now indulged in
at present.
A loocs lot put up by Nels Nelson
is reported sold to the Bamberger
firm.
The market for cured leaf is ex
tremely dull, both locally and in
the eastern centers. George Rum-
rill reports the sale of 1 15CS for the
week A N Jones recently sold

quite heavy. The trade "across the

good and fine qualities. The cigar

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
We have no sales to report
Those growers who are holding
their crops of tobacco do not ex
pect to sell until the leaf has been
sweated. They know its condition
when it was packed and are not
disposed to make any discount on
the risk of damage by its sweating.
If there are those who have injured
their crops by packing when the
leaf was too damp, we should ex
pect to see them try to have it
change hands. The work of trans
planting is generally completed,
where setting machines are in such
general use that the labor of trans
planting is largely lessened as well
as hastened. The rains have come
opportunely, but warmer weather
is anxiously awaited.
Probably there will be a slightly
increased acreage this year. Some
growers were terribly disgusted by
the treatment they received from
the packers, and so will sulk about,
and may not plant any, while from
our standpoint we think the growers
were the most at fault, as they had
no business to sell at reduced prices.
They should have gone to woik
and assorted and packed their own
tobacco, wholly independent of the
packers.
In many towns there will be an
increased acreage, and many new
curing barns will be erected. The
outlook was never better than now
market, no buyers have been rid-
ing. Saturday E Dingman received
about forty cases for M. Levy &
Bro , shipping to the firm at New
York. There have been but small
shipments from the warehouses,
which are all closed with the ex-
ception of the Heinke warehouse.
The heavy rainfall, combined with
the cold weather which has pre-
vailed all the spring, makes the
prospect for a large crop unfavora-
ble. A well-informed local dealer
estimates that the acreage this year
will be considerably below the aver
age in this section. His judgment
is that the acreage will be from ten
to twenty per cent, below that of
last year. Transplanting has not
been commenced yet, the plants
still being small, although a few
growers are reported as having
transplanted. — Gazette.
Veteran Boer in Cigar Trade
A. J. Wennips, a veteran of Gen
Botha's army, has opened a cigar
store next to the West Side Bank,
on Chestnut street, Milwaukee.

THE T0 3JACCO WORLD
THE, UP TO DATE
^ ^ SYSTEM ^ ^
We have long since passed the days of
the stage coach and the tallow candle. Mo-
body wants to go back to them.
We have also passed the days of slow,
iiieflicient 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 DuBruI 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 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,
lixed or movable, with all
their complications, irrita-
tions and aggravations.
This table enables
the operator to do more
work and better
work in less t nie 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.

Sample Cigar Boxes.
A cigar manufacturer who desired
to use a number of stamped boxes,
provided with trays, designed to
hold sample cigars of different sizes,
was advised that it is not permissible
for a manufacturer of cigars to use
boxes which are provided with one
or more trays and which would
separate and conceal the number
and size of cigars contained in the
bottom of the box from those
packed in the tray or trays. This
was in line with a decision previ
ously made, that the office would not
approve of a sample packing case
provided with trays to contain ci-
gars, and which would be re- used
from time to time by salesmen in
introducing their goods, and in
which it was advised that the man-
ufacturer should put up his cigars
in individual boxes containing 12,
13. 25 or 50 cigars, respectively,
and properly label, brand and stamp
each box, and which could then be
carried in a sample traveling case.
ettes under the act of April 12^
1902, as the rebate anticipated by
that act refers alone to original and
unbroken factory packages of to-
bacco and snuff tax paid at a rate
higher than six cents per pound
prior to July i, 1902, and upon
which a rebate of 3 6 cents per
pound will be allowed. It was
further advised that tobacco and
snuff held in Alaska may be inven-
toried in the presence of two wit-
nesses on the first day of July, and
subsequently on Form 481, revised,
which is now in press, and that they
may include rebate of taxes on 2, 3
and 4 ounce packages of smoking
tobacco tax paid at 9 6 cents per
pound on and after July i, 190 1, as
shown by the stamps affixed to the
packages, series of 1901, act of
March 2, 1901.

Closing a Cigar Factory.
A collector was recently advised
that if a cigar manufacturer con
tinues to have unstemmed leaf to-
bacco, scraps, cuttings, '-lippings
or other cigar material on hand
after he files an inventory on Form
70b, he will be required to register
his business on the first day of July
of each year, and continue to render
to the collector monthly returns on
Form 72, and that the only way a
cigar manufacturer can completely
retire from business and close his
accounts will be to make applica-
tion to the collector for a special
permit. Form loo, authorizing the
sale and transfer of all tobacco ma
terial that he may have in bond to
some other qualified manufacturer
of tobacco or cigars, and thereupon
his accounts could be closed and his
bond released, provided there are
no deficiencies either in his material,
production or stamp account; and
before again commencing the manu
facture of cigars he will be required
to file a new statement and bond and
register his business and place of
business.
Claims for Rebate in Alaska.
Certain companies engaged in
trade in Alaska, and proposing to
make claims for rebate under the
act of April 12, 1902, recently re-
quested to be furnished with blank
forms and instructions at the earliest
possible moment, owing to the
limited time. Th^'y were advised
that there is no material difference
between the regulations relating to
claims to be made under the act of
April 12, 1902, and the regulations
made under the act of March 2,
1901, except that there will be no
rebate allowed on cigars or cigar-
A Pocket Cigarette Machine Demonstration.
A collector reported that a to-
bacco manufacturing concern in his
district are giving to purchasers of
their tobacco pocket machines for
rolling cigarettes, to demonstrate
which they have placed a girl in
one of the windows of a prominent
tobacco and cigar store (such store
not being connected with the com-
pany's works), equipped with one
of the machines, which she uses to
roll cigarettes, the tobacco for such
cigarettes being taken out of duly
stamped packages, and the product
being given away to consumers in
the store. The collector stated that
he had notified the company that
they must either discontinue the
operations of the machine in the
manner stated, or qualify as manu-
facturer of cigars in show windows,
and they have appealed from his
decision. The Commissioner holds
that the manufacture of cigarettes
in the manner described, whether
the product is sold or given away,
brings the case within the inhibition
of the law as found in the second
and third paragraphs of Section
3367, Revised Statutes, amended,
which is as follows: "And every
person who manufactures cigars of
any description without first giving
bond as herein required, shall be
fined not less than $100," etc., atid
"cigarettes and cheroots shall be
held to be cigars under the meaning
of this chapter."

the street, with his not too greatly
beloved folios, and where his rent
was to come from he was blessed if
he could tell. To be poor and a
student in Holland in 1583 was to
be condemned to the worst of all
miseries, and Klaas was the poorest
of his kind.
Klaas was a little sinewy wisp of I
a man with one overmastering pas
sion — a love of tobacco. Tobacco
was to him far more than a solace. I
It was meat and drink, friend, mis-
tress, god. And tobacco in Hol-
land in 1583 was so dear. There
was no getting it on tick, either.
Only the ready rhino could com-
mand it, and of that poor Klaas was
at all times shy. On the night
when we make his acquaintance,
Klaas, haggard- eyed over his books
and with hunger gnawing at his
vitals, pictured his landlord gather-
ing strength in his comfortable bed
downstairs, the better to be able to
pounce upon his penniless tenant
in the morning, and was sucking
what comfort he could out of the
few grains of tobacco still left in
his pipe, groaning in spirit as he
realized that it might be many a
long day before he should be able
to indulge in another pipeful.
Suddenly, at least so it seemed to
poor Klaas, a 6gure evolved itself
out of the smoke. There was no
mistaking the outlines. They were He wasted no words over the "Much book learning?" was the

forth his hand and touched his he said, "that I am afraid the body "Books! give me what I shall ask

Mr. Eppo Harkema.
He looked up and saw that the face ten in ink, but I'm pretty sure I' "What then?' asked Satan
Klaas' eyes sparkled, not so much
perhaps that he at length could see
his way to all the tobacco he wanted
as at the chance of getting the bet-
ter of the before mentioned "party
of the first part," in this case, the
Prince of Darkness himself. Dutch
eyes used to have that trick of
sparkling over a good bargain.
They don't do it nowadays. It's
too theatrical.
Klaas skimmed lightly the two
first pages of the Devil's document.
They were the purely formal parts,
harmless lawyer lingo, all words
and nothing much to the purpose,
but he bent serious brows over the
last page. The whole document
was in Latin, and Klaas knew that
Satan was but an indifferent Latin-
ist, for that was the language of the
church, whither Satan never went,
or very, very seldom, whereas Klaas
was rather an accomplished classic-
ist. He knew a trick or two which
the Devil didn't know. After a
slight erasure which the Devil didn't

III. Advertise. Don't hide your
light under a bushel, no matter how
dim it is. Advertising methods in
the cigar trade have changed much
of late years and a very interesting
history a faithful account of these
changes would make — but one
practice has been universal and gen-
eral among them all since 1S64:
Every successful cigar manufac-
turer the United States has known
since the close of the Civil War,
has advertised his business and his
brands in the trade papers. No
newspaper advertising hasever been
more economical or satisfactory.
Auxiliary to this suggestion is
this other:
Puzzle out some unusually attrac-
tive name or scheme for a label.
The Latin word for "I burn," now
famous all over the United States
as the name of a five cent cigar,
didn't come to its originator in the
flash of an eye, or while dawdling
in a hammock . A label lithographer
showed him the sketch of a farmer
colossus astride of two islands, with
a carot of tobacco in either hand,
and the manufacturer sat up nights
until he found the exact word that
would fit the picture. There are
other words in the Latin dictionary,
or in the dictionaries of other lan-
guages, that are just as apposite,
and that the memory will hold as
What to Do to Be Saved.
A Discussion of Present Day Con-
ditions In the Cigar and
Leaf Trades.
V.
How do people get rich in the
cigar manufacturing and leaf deal-
ing business, anyway?
Here is the secret, extracted like
a chemial precipitate, from the life
history of every man who has ever
accumulated wealth in either line:
I. He has grown up in the busi-
ness. There is no record of a new-
comer who has achieved success.
In the last generation the men who
became prominent and who were
successful began on the lowest rung
of the ladder, and worked them
selves up. Then they trained their
sons or their nephews. Tobacco is
a plant which does not yield its
mysteries to a careless wooer. Its
secrets must be wormed out of it,
and the morepainstakingthestudent
the greater his reward. That these
are facts which the shrewdest of the
Stockholders in the great companies
now engaged in cigar manufactur- | ^^^^^y • ^'8 ,°"' f ^^^ ^^ .^^e'"
ing enterprises appreciate at their
full value, is proven by the employ-
ment in certain cigar factories in
Richmond, Va., New Orleans, and
other centers of the industry, of the
sons of these very stockholders at
bunch-breaking and other elemen-
The time used in the eflfort will not
be wasted, even if the word is not
found, because the mind will be in
the right trim and will teem with

Clear Havana Offering.
On this page is printed a black
and white replica of the Rica de Oro
label. The original, which is in
black and gold, is from the presses
of Wm. Steiner, Sons & Co. A
glance at the black and white fac
simile will satisfy even the most
critical that it is artistic and beau-
tiful. The Rica de Oro is a strictly
Spanish hand made clear Havana
cigar, and its manufacturers claim
that it is made only from the finest
Cuban tobaccos. It is made in 36
sizes, selling at from $60 to $375.
Senor Ladrero is known to be a
very competent and painstaking
manufacturer, and he is devoting
all his skill, knowledge and energy
to making the Rica de Oro the peer
of any clear Havana cigar on the
market.

A Sensible Man's Vacation.
New York, June 20, 1902
Dear Medicine Man:
Our vacation se&son begins next
Monday. The book keeper goes
first. He says he has planned to
spend his two weeks in the Catskills
with his family. Last year he went
to the seashore. He is well to do
and has only to carry out whatever
plans he makes, but the rest of us,
the Custom House clerk, the ship
ping clerk, the porter, are not in the
same class. Since we cannot go to
the mountains or the sea-side and
since, all the same, we desire to get
as much good as possible out of our
brief summer season of rest, we have
decided to ask your advice on the
subject. The Office Staff.
The Answer.
The best suggestion I can give
my friends is this: Go away from
your usual domicile, if you only go
a block or so away. Since the big
hotels are beyond your means go to
some good boarding house or some
nice private family located near one
of the trolley lines in Brooklyn and
plying between that city and the
beaches. This plan will give you
cheap, good board and a surplus to
spend in car rides and in amuse
ments at the sea side resorts. The
imperative thing is to get away
from your home. If you are married
this is not only imperative but a
duty, because in this manner only
can you ensure that your wife, im
mersed the year round in household
cares, shall also have a chance to
recuperate. Almost every wife will
demur to this proposition when first
it is broached to her, but do not on
that account alter your plans. Close
np your house or your flat and don't
go near it again until your vacation 1

the world's yearly production of ci- current year. A premium certifi-
gar leaf tobaccos is about $42,000,- ^^^^ goes with each box of Sweet
Library, or the books in the Astor?
I readily forgive you the books, for
I know that the average man has
little time for any reading but that
which he finds in his favorite news-
paper, but I cannot overlook the
neglect from which the great
museums of Central Park suffer at
the hands of the great mass of people
who make New York city, or Brook-
lyn, their home. This is particu-
larly true of married people. The
great bulk of those who visit the
museums come from out of town.
Well, when you are settled for your
little two weeks' vacation in your
temporary domicile, add to your
enjoynjent by making believe that
you too are a stranger in New York
and visit those museums. Take
your wife with you, and don't get
angry if you suddenly discover that |
she knows a great deal more about
pictures and sculptures and wonder-
ful antique things than you do.
That is the kind of knowledge
which women possess instinctively,
as it were.
; Such a vacation plan as I have
outlined should appeal, I think, not
only to every man who works for
wages but to all others as well, and
I confidently expect that employers
will suggest it to their men. The
beauty of it is that my plan can be
carried out, with the requisite
changes of names of resorts and
museums, by people living in any
large city in the United States. The
trolley lines and the museums are
the wage earners' friends.

The World's Cigar Leaf
Crops.

Dear Medicine Man:
Please give me an estimate of the
quantity and value of the cigar leaf
crops, respectively, of the United

The Answer.
An average annual crop of cigar
leaf in the United States is between

Books for Summer Reading.
1 am disposed to be slightly cross
with Joe S., who asked me the
other day to give him a list of books
for summer reading, because the
question implied he holds books in
but slight esteem and reads them
only to while away the tedium of
summer idleness.
Your true book-lover knows no
such thing as books for "summer"
reading.
He reads in spring, in summer,
in fall and in winter, and the more

Late News from Cuba.
There has been some animation
in the market in Havana of late,
sales ranging from 1,700 to prob-
ably 2 000 bales in all. Prices have
been firmly sustained upon old
goods, and for about 600 bales ol
new Partido very full figures have
been readily granted The quantity
of old tobacco, principally Remedios
is steadily decreasing, while the
new tobacco after having gone i
through the sweat in the bales finds j
takers almost immediately on the j
part of cigar factories in Havana, [
Tampa and Key West, whose man j
agers are now alive to the urgent i
necessity of being early in the field,
in order to secure their share of the 1
Partido factory vegas this year,
which undoubtedly will not alone
be all wanted but will disappear as
fast as a rain drop upon a hot stone.
NewCrop. I
Vuelta Abajo. — The reports are
conflicting as to quality this season,
the majority of dealers claiming
that the crop as a whole is deficient '
in light, aromatic, factory fillers,
while there may be more of heavy-
bodied fillers, which could be used
in the North only for mixing pur
poses. As the quantity is consider-
ably smaller than last year, and the
yield in the different escojidas will
not be as favorable as calculated
upon, the cost of really fine goods,
must be very high, under the given
circumstances. Many purchases
made iix the beginning have been
either cancelled or a heavy reduction
in the prices was agreed upon by
the farmers to compensate the
buyer for the useless yellow leaves
which are, unfortunately, so abund
ant this year.
Partido. — There is no change in
this district; everybody seems to be
working under a full head of steam
and apparently there is not much
tobacco unsold in farmers' hands.
Remedios. — Favorable weather
conditions have at last helped the
farmers to pile their bundled to
bacco, and they are now waiting
for buyers to come along and begin
operations. Rumors are circulated
that some purchases were made, and
if correct it might be that the Amer-
ican Cigar Co. has started the ball
rolling, as nearly all the dealers in
Havana apparently feel indisposed
to pack any tobacco upon their own
account this year, although if prices
were low enough to warrant their
purchasing later on, they might
perhaps go in also. In any event,
owing to the bad results upon pack-
I ing operations during the past two
years, nobody seems anxious to re-
peat the experiment of paying high
prices for a crop that is both short
and bad.
Arrivals In Havana.
Simon Batt, the New York cigar
manufacturer, who came in on the
steamer Monterey, left on June 14
by the same steamer, after having
purchased a small lot of old Vuelta
Abajo fillers and looking over his
contracts for new Partido tobacco.
The latter has so far turned out to
his entire satisfaction . Don Gustavo
Bock returned from his short trip to
theUnited States, also by the steamer
Monterey, looking hale and hearty,
but not disposed to grant any inter-
view as regards the absorption of
the Henry Clay and Bock & Co.
by the Havana Tobacco Co.
Departures.
Leslie Pantin sailed by the Mont-
erey, with his family, for a short
rest and recreation after his hard
and continuous work last winter.
He recently purchased for L. W.
Scott, of Boston, 1,000 bales of Re-
medios tobacco. Mr. Scott left on
the Vigilancia, well pleased and
satisfied with his purchases. Of
course Don Leslie will not fail to
see his numerous friends North,
have a shorter or longer talk with
them, and thus prepare plans for the
coming season's campaign. The
many friends of Mr. Pantin here
wish him a safe voyage and pros-
perous conversations, so he may re-
turn in good health in due time and
buckle on the harness to do fresh
battle in the interest of his customers
Cigar Manufacturers.
Although it is still the dull season
of the year, when orders are usually
scarce and exports of cigars at low-
water mark, it seems the discourag-
ing reports of the new crop have
helped to create a better demand
for last year's crop and the large
Havana factories such as H. Up-
mann & Co., Ramon Allones, Romeo
y JuHeta, Flor de Tabacos Partagas,
J. S. Murias & Co., Calixto Lopez
& Co., Behrens & Co , etc., who
have enough old tobacco on hand,
arc all busy in the execution of
orders, and instead of discharging
cigarmakers have added to their
steady number of men, thus prov-
ing the increase in orders. Carlos
Blasco, of Reina del Prado and
Vitalia fame, also joins in stating
that he has an ever increasing call
for his two brands.
Federico Bauriedel & Co. say they
have enough confidential orders
(bianco) of cigars for this year's
\ crop, but of course until the same
I are really in fit condition to be

shipped they will not execute any
of them. Samples that were sub
mitted by a few manufacturers are
not yet satisfactory, therefore Don
Edmundo Will prefers to wait until
he can really get such goods as will
preserve the credit of this house in
shipping only the best cigars pro
duced. In the meantime he is busy
filling his orders for cigars of last
year's crop.
Jorge P. Castaneda & Co , were
the first house to sell new Tumba-
dero factory vegas, to the extent of
300 bales, for which they obtained
full prices, as the tobacco was of the
temprano part and will soon be fit
to be worked up. Cigar manufac-
turers here were the purchasers,
and also one Tampa factory.
Cano y Hno. arereceiving new to-
bacco every week from their various
escojidas, and also sold about 300
bales of new Tumbadero to manu
facturers in Havana.
Silveira & Co. executed orders
for the purchase of about 200 bales
of old Remedies for some of their
friends in the United States. Don
Alberto Catterfeld may leave soon
for a business trip to New York and
Europe, but Don Fernando Cardenas
will attend to everything during his
absence.
Walter Himml is receiving new
tobacco from the country regularly
and while he showed some very fine
Vuelta Abajo and Partido factory
vegas to some parties in Havana, no
sale has resulted yet, as the tobacco
had not advanced far enough to be
workable at once. There is no
doubt his turn will come in a little
while
Rabell, Costa & Co are making
extensive packings of Vuelta Abajo,
particularly in the Remates district,
where they hav« bought enough to
make at least 3,000 bales, and also
in the renowned Montezuelo field,
which as a heavy, aromatic filler has
no superior for mixed cigars. This
house fortunately holds enough old
Vuelta Abajo fillers to supply their
needs for Ramon Allones and Romeo
y Julicta until the 1902 crop shall
be thoroughly cured and fit to be
used as a filler.
Adolfo Moellcr expects to receive
his first lot of new Partido tobacco
from his escojida In Guira de Me-
lena and his own plantations next
week. In the meantime he is hust-
ling around to buy some tobacco
upon orders received by him, attend-
ing to his cigarette factory and
the other enterprises that he is en-
gaged in. Don Adolfo Moeller is
one of the few men whose brain is
ever active, and if one branch of his
business should temporarily be dull,
he is sure to hammer the iron while
it is hot in another direction.
Garcia y Co. are continuing to
receive tobaccos from their several
escojidas in the Vuelta Abajo and
Partido regions, and will soon be
able to show some of the finest goods
of this year's crop. They have
shipped all their old Remedios to
the North, thus giving Don Manuel
Garcia time to devote all his energies
to the new tobacco.
Sobrinos de Antero Gonzalez. —
Don Antero is always on the qui
vive attending to the receipts of
fresh vegas from the country,
registering them, so no mistake has
been made in the classification of
bales, and at the same time is ready
to make sales of his old stock of
goods.

Fine Weather Helps Philadelphia Trade.
The extremely fine weather of the
past few days has undoubtedly been
a benefit to the local trade Retail
dealers have had a good business,
and manufacturers are feeling more
encouraged. Mail orders are of a
more healthful nature and for larger
volumes of goods. Taken all in
all, the situation is quite satisfac
tory.
PRESIDENT SPOTZ & PAHTY HOME.
George E. Spotz, President of the
Theobald & Oppenheimer Co., and

leaf. They were met in New York
by Morris D.Theobald, J. A. Rigby,
and Louis Bythiner, who also ac-
companied the party to Philadel-
phia.

street entrance to the Arcade.

Co's. Perfecto, and are now receiv-
ing some good sized orders for them.
Recently an order was received

in Denver, for 85,000 of the new
goods. They are packed in plain
cedar boxes of 50 «ach.
CHARLES KNUBEL VISITS THE

j, Sakon, a cigarette manufac-
turer at 433 North Second street has
removed his factory to 2514 Frazier

PABST IN PHILADELPHIA.
Fauth u Ogden not long ago en-
gaged John Pabst as a city salesman
on their Cosmos 5 cent cigars. It
is stated that when Mr. Pabst pre-
sented his card shortly afterward to
an uptown cigar dealer, the dealer
said: "My friend, haven't you made
a mistake? I don't sell beer here."
Mr. P. naturally felt somewhat
chagrined, but took occasion to ex-
plain that not all the Pabst 's were
beer men, and that he was selling
Cosmos. "Oh!" said the dealer,
"your name is Pabst, but you sell
Cosmos; veil, I dake some," and he
gave Mr. P. a nice order. Evidently
this dealer was equally familiar
with Cosmos cigars and Pabst 's
beer.

PHILAD'A LEAF MARKET.
The local leaf market has been
steady, though somewhat quiet.
Several lots of Connecticut have
been sold to manufacturers by local
houses at fair figures. There is
also a strong demand for other types
of tobacco, but stocks are not avail-
able, and prices for such as can be
found are running high.
Some Pennsylvania bulk sweat
wrapper is now being offered, and
in all probability will sell readily.
Sumatra is moving fairly well,
but no especially large sales have
been reported.
Havana is more or less active.
Good Vueltas are selling freely.
The fact that rather high prices are
prevailing is perhaps the only bar-
rier to more voluminous sales.

142 Water Street,
NEW YORK.
A Retail Tobacconist Banker
A young New Yorker, who is the
proprietor of a cigar stand in one
of the big Wall street office build-
ings, recently bought a "Willy
wagon" out of the surplus of his
first year's profits. A "Willy
wagon," it may be explained, is
the latest name for an automobile.
This young man is getting rich
in more ways than one. First, the
profits from his sales are large, and
are getting larger every day; second
ly, he gets a perfectly safe tip on
one or two Wall street transactions
every week, and thirdly, he does
a banking business.
"When I first took this stand,"
he said the other day, "I counted
upon doing a strictly retail business
in cigars and tobaccos. On my
opening day, having paid for all
my stock, I had very little cash, in
fact just about enough to change a
$S bill. The first customer I had
bought $2 worth of H. Upmann's
and laid a $20 bill on my counter.
I couldn't give him the change, of
course, and told him so. He im-
mediately drew out his card and
handed it to me, telling me to send
him the change up- stairs by and by
when I got it. I nearly fell dead
when I looked at the name on the
card, for it was that of one of the
greatest of millionaires. Well, I
didn't have to leave my stand to
get change for that $20 bill, for as
it happened, I took in over $40 in |
change during the next three
quarters of an hour. You see, the
tenants were coming to work and
were buying their day's supplies of
•Upmanns,' of 'Websters,' of 'Gas-
tons,' of 'Pete Dalys,' of 'Floro-
doras,' and their other favorites,
and my till got rapidly full As
soon as the rush was over I went
upstairs myself and brought my
first customer his $18. Then he
took me off my feet a second time
that day, for he calmly asked me to
cash a $50 check which he had just
made out and which he had been
on the point of sending to me for
that purpose. I said 'certainly,
sir,' without having the faintest
idea where I was to get that $50
But luck was with me that day, for
fair, for as I stepped off the elevator
on the ground floor, I met a friend
who fortunately had plenty of
money in his clothes, and who
cashed the millionaire's check for
me. From that day on I have
always taken care to keep several
thousand dollars in ready money in
my safe under the counter. I cash
checks for almost every man in the
building. They use me whenever
their own supply runs out, and to
that extent am I a banker. Of
course, my readiness to oblige my
friends in this manner, helps my
business enormously, and that's
how my profits grow."
The New S. Sr A. Lampat is
Glorious.
Edwin A. Schroeder.of Schroeder
& Arguimbau, who has spent con-
siderable time of late on his planta
tion in Florida, says that all indi
cations promise that the new S. &
A. Lampat Florida Sumatra wrap
pers will be the finest ever grown
there Although the tobacco has
been growing for but eight weeks,
it is already between nine and ten
feet high. Picking has already
been started. The yielding capa-
city of this crop will probably be
the greatest on record.
Mr. Schroeder, who has been
studying the fertilizer question with
unflagging industry for the past two
years, announces that he is now
manufacturing a potash mixture,
containing six different ingredients,
with which he has had truly a most
wonderful success. Tobacco
growers look for three things in a
fertilizer: i , nitrogen; 2, phosphoric
acid; 3, potash. From a well
balanced fertilizer the resultants are
a perfect growth and perfect burn
Mr. Schroeder s mixture is so
successful that he will probably
place it upon the market.

Fronier vs. Otteuherg.
The case of Clara E. Fromer
against S. Ottenberg & Bros, is on
the calendar of the New York Su-
preme Court, in Justice O'Gorman's
division, and is likely to be reached
soon.
Plaintiff is the wife of Louis F.
Fromer, and the owner of the Ade-
lina Patti trademark for cigars.
In November, 1896, a contract
was entered into between Louis F.
Fromer and S. Ottenberg & Bros ,
by the terms of which Mr. Fromer
was to act as a salesman for the
Adelina Patti and other brands
which were to be manufactured by
the Ottenbergs, at a salary of $6,000
a year and a yearly allowance of
$2,500 for traveling expenses. Mr.

Fromer continued with the Otten
bergs for four years and four months.
The present action grew out of
their relations above outlined. Mr.
Fromer is seeking to enjoin S.
Ottenberg & Bros, from manufac-
turing cigars under the Adelina
Patti trade- mark, and the defend-
ants allege that Mr. Fromer is in-

There is no longer a question of doubt
about the success of Suction Machines

matter. It has also been proven that
The Suction Tables offered by the

Mr. Butler's Charges.
District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, has received a letter from W
Bourke Cockran, counsel for the
plaintiflfs in the civil suit brought
against the Directors of the Con
solidated Tobacco Company, by
George P. Butler and Susan K.
Elmes, which he has turned over to
Assistant District Attorney Rand to
see whether there is warrant for the
presentation to the Grand Jury of
criminal charges 'against Directors
of the company. Mr. Cockran's
letter is in part as follows:
On Friday last, in the Supreme
Court, during the hearing of a
motion to vacate two orders for the
examination of James B Duke and
Thomas F. Ryan in actions which
had been brought against them and
others as Directors and officers of
the American Tobacco Company,
lorobtaining from theirstockholders
property of enormous value, without
consideration, by fraudulent con
cealment of earnings, present and
prospective, as well as by mislead-
ing statements, Mr. De Lancey
Nicoll, who appeared as their coun
sel, assigned as one of the chief
grounds of his application that the
acts set forth in the plaintiflfs' papers
constitute a criminal oflfense under
Section 168 of the Penal Code, and
that his clients could not testify to
these transactions without incrim-
inating themselves.
Asked specifically by Mr. Justice
Clarke if he tneant to be understood
as pleading on behalf of Duke and
Ryan the privilege of persons ac-
cused of crime, he answered in the
aflfirmative.
I had myself believed that the
perpetrators of the stupendous
frauds which formed the subject of
the motion had succeeded in keep
ing themselves beyond the letter of
thelawdefining criminal conspiracy,
but in view of the contrary opinion
publicly expressed by such an emi
nent authority — and supported by
the most impressive reasoning — I
have, aftercareful reflection , reached
the conclusion that it is my duty to
present the matter to the prosecut-
ing oflScer of the county. I send
herewith all the papers read on
argument, together with Mr.
Nicoll's luminous demonstration
that the acts described in them con
stitute a crime — legally as well as
morally,
Plaintiflfs in the two actions were
holders of stock in the American
Tobacco Company, which they ex-
changed for 4 per cent bonds of
the Consolidated Tobacco Company.
They allege that they were de-
frauded in the exchange, where
profits properly belonging to them
went to the Directors whom they
accuse.
Importance is given in the de-
position of the plaintiflfs to their
charge that in oflfering bonds yield
ing 8 per cent, on the par value of
the stock to be taken in exchange
for stock paying 6 per cent, and
earning 9 per cent., the defendants
acted on advance information that
the company would take full bene-
fit of the remission on July i , 1901 ,
I of 40 cents a thousand internal rev
enue tax on cigarettes. The claim
\ is made by the plaintiflfs that this
increased the earnings of the com
pany much more than $1,000,000.
Mr. Nicoll in turn has forwarded
a letter to the District Attorney in
which, after stating that Mr. Cock
ran had sent him a copy of his
letter to Mr. Jerome, he sa>s in
part:
In July, 1901, the Consolidated
Tobacco Company oflfered to pur-
chase from thecommon shareholders
of the American Tobacco Company
and the Continental Tobacco Com-
pany their respective shares in ex-
change for the Consolidated Com-
pany bonds, bearing interest at 4
per cent., at the rate of two bonds
for one share, $100 par value, of
the common stock of the American
Tobacco Company and one bond
for one share, $100 par value, of the
common stock of the Continental
Company.
All of the stockholders, except-
ing those holding 12,000 shares of
the American Tobacco Company,
and even a larger proportion of the
Continental Tobacco Company ac-
cepted the oflFer and exchanged
their stock for bonds
Most of these 12,000 shares were
then assembled into a pool or syndi
cate, on behalf of which four suits
had been brought, which, from one
standpoint or another, attack the
validity of the Consolidated Tobacco
Company's oflfer to purchase.
Most of the persons interested in
this pool are also connected with
the Universal Tobacco Company,
organized by Messrs. Cockran,
William H Butler, and others as a
rival of the American Tobacco
Company in April, 1901, and the
suits which have been brought are
all under the direction or control of
Mr. Cockran and his associates, one
of whom at least is a gentleman well
known in the financial world as a
promoter of strike litigation. 1

Company and others, I obtained an
order for Davis's examination,
which the court sustained on a
motion to vacate. After appealing
from that decision, Davis within the
past few days has obtained ex parte
an order to discontinue his suit,
which order I am about to set aside.
If he does not escape examination
by a discontinuance, I shall prob-
ably be able to show just how and
why and by whom the combination
of outstanding shares was formed as
the result of which Davis was put
forward as the first plaintiff.
The second suit is brought by
Mr. Mumford, a lawyer who never
owned any shares of stock in the
American Tobacco Company, ex-
cept some purchased for him by his
broker on margin and afterward ex-
changed for bonds. Before the suit
was commenced the bonds were
sold at a profit. Mr. Mumford now
owns neither bonds nor stock.
The third suit is brought by
George Butler, a brother of William
H. Butler, the President of the Uni-
versal Tobacco Company.
The fourth suit is brought by Mr.
Cockran himself in the name of a
relative, Mrs. Susan K. Elmes.
The plaintiff does not appear even
to know of the existence of the suit,
the affidavit upon which the order
for examination was granted being
sworn to by Mr. Cockran.
In the last two suits, those
brought by Butler and Elmes, about
a fortnight ago Mr. Cockran ob-
tained at Special Term, Part II ,
two orders to examine Messrs Duke
and Ryan on the ground that their
examination was necessary to en-
able him to frame a complaint in
both suits The papers upon which
these orders were granted contained
a number of charges of fraudulent
mismanagement on the part of the
Directors of the American Toba'^co
Company, all based upon informa-
tion and belief only. For many
reasons it was deemed unnecessary
to move to vacate the orders upon
affidavits denying the numerous
false and scandalous accusations
contained in the aflSdavits upon
which the orders were granted. It
was thought sufficient for the pres
ent to point out the fatal imperfec-
tions in the papers themselves.
Among other grounds for vacat-
ing the orders, I stated to the court
that tiie allegations upon informa
tion and belief, with no sources of
information or grounds of belief
stated, might amount to a charge of
criminal conspiracy, and on that
ground alone they should be vacated
in accordance with the numerous
decisions upon the subject with
which I know you are familiar. In
other words, I argued that a plain
tiff cannot make a series of reckless
charges upon information and be-
lief and then require the defendants
to be examined to prove them.
The defendants put themselves in
the attitude of demurring to the au-
thority of the allegations to sustain
the orders. If Mr. Cockran thinks
that because we demurred to the
papers we admitted their contents
to be true, except for the purposes
of the motion, he shows that he has
forgotten those elementary princi-
ples of procedure with which every
law student is familiar.
The affidavit upon which the or-
der for the examination of Davis was
granted charged that he was nat the
real party in interest, but the rep-
resentative of the pool who had col-
lected about 12 000 shares for t e
purpose of realizing a profit by
means of a law suit Some of ihe
allegations were on information and
belief. Counsel for Davis argued
that the charges in the affidavit
amounted to an accusation of crim
inal conspiracy and blackmail, and
that, for that reason, among others,
the order should be vacated.
It was said in the plaintiff's brief
that "the only purpose of the ex-
amination sought by the defendants
is to ascertain the names of sup
posed conspirators. Will the Court
permit an examination where the
sole object of the examining party
is to establish a criminal act ? The
wild allegations of these astute Di-
rectors must defeat their own pur
pose. The authorities are unani-
mous that the examination will not
be allowed for any such object."
I did not understand at the time
that Davis had admitted that such
a criminal conspiracy existed be
cause he chose to move on my pa
pers without answering aflSdavits,
but if Mr. Cockran's view is adop-
ted and my clients are deemed to
have admitted the charges in his
aflfidavit, I must ask you to apply
the same rule to Davis, his associ
ates and backers.
At a proper time, and when, if

plaint, the defendants will be ready
with their defenses, but in tl;e mean-
time I would not have you suppose
for a moment that they admit the
truth of any of the false, reckless,
and scandalous matters contained
in his affidavits.
Mr. Cockran has now resorted to
a practice not unknown but seldom
approved, of attempting to put ad
ditional pressure upon the defend-

the matter to the District Attorney.

Tobacco Production In
igoo.
The U. S. Census Bureau, on
June 21, issued a report on manu-
factures of tobacco for 1900, which
shows a capital of $124,089,871 in-
vested in the industry. The value
of the product is returned at $283,-
076,546, to produce which involved
an outlay of $8,951,534 for salaries
of officials, clerks, &c , $49,852,-
484 for wages, $79 495,422 for mis-
celleaneous expenses, and $107,-
182,656 for materials used The
value ol cigars and cigarettes was
56.6 per cent, of the total value of
all tobacco manufactures, chewing
and smoking tobacco and snuflF.
36 7 per cent., and tobacco stem-
med and rehandled, 6 7 per cent.
The total production of the United
States for 1900 was 868,163.265
pounds, an increase of 379,906,629
pounds, or 77 8 per cent, over the
crop of 1890. All the States and
Territories were represented, ex
cept Colorado, District of Columbia.
NBvrda, Rhode Island and Utah,
but the cultivation of tobacco on
a large scale was confined to com
paratively few States.
The combined production of ci-
gars and cigarettes for the year end-
ing December 31, 1900, approxi
mated nine and one-half thousand
millions. More than 118,000,000
pounds of tobacco were used in their
manufacture, the average being 12 6
pounds of tobacco to each thousand
cigars and cigarettes. In cigars
alone an average of 17. i pounds of
tobacco were used to each thousand,
and in cigarettes an average of four
pounds. Pennsylvania was the
leading State in the separate manu-
facture of cigars, with a production
of 1,624 527.885; New York, Ohio
Maryland and Illinois followed in
the order named with 1,291,275,-
550, 658819.883, 403.548,626 and
28 1, 400, 268, respectively. The com-
bined product of these five States
was 4 259 570,212, or 60 per cent,
of the entire output in the United
States.
Latest News from York, Pa.
Wednesday of last week was the
banner day for tobacco salesmen
at Red Uon; there were as many as
fifteen present during the noon hour
at the hotel. Certainly it would
seem that the tobacco business is
booming, judging from the great
number of salesmen who come to
this section weekly.
George W. Hankey, a local cigar
manufacturer, is going into the leaf
tobacco business, with headquarters
on West Princess street.
John Little, located at Hanover,
has just returned from a short stay
in Altoona, where he had gone for
a few days, combining business
with pleasure.
At the Sutter warehouse, I. B.
Hostetter manager, the packing of
tobacco has been completed.
The usual activity is displayed at
A Sonneraan 's place of business on
South George street.
The local dealers are an uncom-
plaining lot of merchants, probably
due to good business. Conspicu-
ous to the trade during the week
were the El Orient, The York Stan-
dard, J. H. Styles and D. A.
Shreiver & Co.
Prominent visitors during the
week were: John Ryan, label sales-

second time. True, there are a few

These growers failed to obtain
plants, and necessarily had to buy
of their more fortunate neighbors,
and had to be in waiting until the
firstfinished.ornearlyso, before they
could have access to the beds. Tak-
ing into consideration the cold and
backward season, we have seldom
seen so good a stand as we have
seen the past week. We have heard
of one or two instances where the
crop has been harrowed in, and the
land to be reset. In one instance
it was deemed advisable on account
of the mixture of Sumatra with
Havana seed leaf. The grower had
Sumatra growing under shade, and
some outside of the shade, and his
seed plants were fifteen to twenty
rods apart, yet the seed was so
mixed that the growing plants
showed a decided Sumatra strain.
So he is setting the large fields over,
buying the plants that are not con-
taminated. So growers this year
must beware, or they may get a
strain of tobacco they do not want.
Our correspondents write :
Montague: "There is an increased
acreage this year of some more than
25 per cent. A. M. Lyman raises
7 acres or more and is the leading '
cultivator in town. It is all set
and is being hoed the first time;
not much trouble so far from cut '
worms."
Whately: "There is one patch of
3 acres under shade, owned by L '
F. Graves. He sets 12,000 plants
to the acre. Every other row is
set about four inches farther apart.
This is to render it easier to get
around when plucking the leaves in

MAKE, MORE,
^^ MO N E Y 41 41
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
alter 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.

The transplanting of the new to
bacco crop is yet the absorbing
topic throughout the growing sec
lions of the state. The growers
have been favored with ideal weather I
for this work and the recently set
plants never inade a better showing
in the fields at this date. The close
of the week will see them well along
with the planting.
The buying movement in last
season's crop is drawing to a close.
The market continues active and
strong for spinning sorts, and gen-
erally unchanged on the rest of the
market.
We had showery weather the
early part of the week, which
planters took advantage of where
the rains fell.
Shipments are going out freely
and warehouse stocks will soon
show some reduction.

chewer of tobacco, is forced to use
the products turned out from the
factories of the trust.
"It is time to call a halt.
"Will it be pretended, for a mo-
ment, that tobacco tastes any better,
gives more satisfaction, because
fences are covered with pictures of
an enormous and hilariously dis-
posed Durham Bull? Will any sane
man assume that his cigar is any
more relishable, or that his blue
smoke curls more gracefully, be-
cause the cedar boxes are orna-
mented with the label of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co ? The conditions
of the tobacco trade at present, of
necessity, attract the attention of
every man connected with tobacco,
from the farmer to the smoker. In
every State where the raw material
it grown, sold, manufactured and
delivered by jobber or retailer, dis-
tress is the stamp felt by one and
all. The profits, never excessive,
are reduced to the minimum, and,
to quote a phrase made by a dis-
tinguished Congressman, growers
and dealers alike exclaim, with
consternation in theirtones, 'Where
are we at?' To this serious query
there can be but one answer, 'We
are on the verge of ruin.'
"Come together. , , r ^ u
"This is an appeal to all dealers stamped package of tobacco, or

make an entry thereof in his Record
No. III. and that it is not necessary
in such cases to refer the application
to the Commissioner, unless the
manufacturer transferring the to
bacco is discontinuing business.
Manufacturers' Labels.
The Commissioner has ruled that
a tobacco manufacturer may wrap
individual pieces of plug tobacco,
or rolls of twist tobacco, in a wax
paper wrapper, on which may be
printed words referring to its quality
or sale, together with its trade mark
name, and the manufacturer's name
and address, provided the words do
not contain any promise or offer of,
or any order or certificate for, any
gift, prize, premium, payment or
reward, in violation of the Regula-
tions, No. 8, Supplement No. i,
respecting the contents and the
marking and labeling of statutory

trouble, all are convinced that
"something must be done," but
what is that "something?" In
union there is strength; no power
on earth can withstand urited
action, when the object is a matter
of common sense and equity. If a
meeting of reputable and well-
known dealers were to request the
Commercial Travelers, for instance,
to issue a card to all dealers, re-
questing them not to use the pro-
ducts of the tobacco trust, and to
post conspicuously a notice to that
effect, it would be a starter of tre
mendous proportions; or let all

and cigarettes unite themselves, and

Tin Packages for Cigars.
A manufacturer was recently ad-
vised that tin boxes without any
advertisement of any kind, except
that relating to the sale of Cigars,
are approved for the use of manufac
turers in packing a statutory num
ber of cigars, the boxes to contain
25. 50. 100, 200 or 250 cigars, and
each box to be properly stamped.

that where a manufacturer desires
to use boxes other than those made
from wood, the regulations require
that a sample package showing the
manner in which the box will be
labeled, branded and stamped, and
the number of cigars intended to be
placed in each box, can be sub-
mitted to the Commissioner for in-
spection and approval. Attention
was called to page 54 of the Regu-
lations relating to packages other
than wooden boxes, and it was sug
gested that it is not necessary that
the sample box submitted to the
office shall contain cigars; but an
empty box showing the manner in
which it is proposed to attach the
stamp or affix and print the label
thereon and brand the box, must be
submitted to the office if it is de-
sired to use such boxes.

Rebate Regulations.
The following instructions in re-
gard to the provisions of the act of
April 12, 1902, for rebate on to-
bacco and snuflf, have been issued
by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue:
Section 4 of the act approved
April 12, 1902, entitled, "An act to
I repeal war revenue taxation and for
other purposes," provided for the
allowance or drawback of tax on all
original and unbroken factory pack-
ages of smoking and manufactured
tobacco and snuflF held by the man-
ufacturers or dealers on July i , 1 902 ,
and upon which there has been paid
a tax higher than six cents per
pound, after making the proper al-
lowance for discounts and rebates
authorized and allowed under
section 4 of the act approved March
2, 190 I.
The drawback or rebate of tax
anticipated by section 4 of the act
of April 12, 1902, will not apply to
tobacco or snuflf which was tax paid
at the rate of six cents per pound
prior to June 14, 1898, and removed
from the factory or custom house
prior to that date, nor will it apply
to tobacco or snuflf which a dealer
in tobacco included in his return
and upon which he may have paid
an additional tax of three cents per
pound, as provided by the second
and third paragraphs of section 3 of
the act approved June 13, 1898, en
titled, "An act to provide ways and
means to meet war expenditures and
for other purposes," and which ad
ditional tax of three cents per pound
was paid by way of assessment by
persons who had on hand an excess
quantity of tobacco and snuflf above
one thousand pounds and upon
which tax had been paid subsequent
to April 14, 1898, and prior to June
14. 1890. Nor will such drawback
or rebate of tax apply in any case
where the original is not presented
within sixty days after July i, 1902,
and no claim can be allowed or
drawback paid for a less amount
than $10.
This office has adopted and pro-
vided for the use of manufacturers
and dealers a blank form of claim,
Form 481, revised; and has also
prescribed and provided regulations
which will govern the preparation,
acceptance and allowance of such
claims under the aforesaid act, viz.,
Regulations No. 8, Supplement No.
3. Collectors will also be provided
with special schedules, Form 482^
which will be used by them in for-
warding claims to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue for examination
and allowance.
The office has also provided a
special inventory, Form 70a, that
will be used by manufacturers of to-
bacco, who will be required to in-
ventory their stock of material, in-
cluding stemmed and unstemmed
leaf tobacco, scraps, cuttings and
clippings, and all manufactured to-
bacco and snuflf, including that
which is stamped, and separated
from that which is unstamped, and
on hand at the factory, and the
value of all unattached stamps on
hand purchased at a discount of 20
per centum, as provided by section
4 of the act of March 2 , 1 90 1 .
The office will make but one
general distribution of these blanks,
and there will be no opportunity for
supplying collectors with additional
blanks; therefore they must exercise
the greatest economy in the distribu-
tion of the same.
Every manufacturer and dealer in
tobacco who made a claim for rebate
of taxes on tobacco products under
the act of March 2, 1901, should be
furnished with a blank form of claim.
Form 481, revised, without an ap-
plication being made therefor.
Manufacturers of tobacco must
each be supplied with three blanks,
Form 70a, which must be prepared
by the manufacturer on the ist day
of July, 1902, and returned to the
collector in duplicate, one copy of
the same to be retained by the col-
lector in his office, the other copy-
to be forwarded to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue.
The collector or deputy collector
receiving a claim, Form 481, re-
vised, for rebate on taxes on tobacco
and snuflf will immediately endorse
thereon the date on which it was
received.
Attention is called to the last
three paragraphs of the Regulations »
