J, H. HELLER, Manager. A New York dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald follows: “That one jobbing firm affiliated with the American Tobacco company does a business of $13,000,000 a year in New York City and Yonkers was brought out today in the hearing of the government’s action against the company before United States Commissioner Shields. Adolph D. Bendeim, president of the Metropolitan Tobacco company, so testified with reference to this concern. Over seventy-five per cent of the jobbing business of New York City was controlled by the Metropolitan, Mr. Bendeim continued. It bought out twenty smaller jobbers. M. W. Reed, president of he Amsterdam Supply company, organized to purchase supplies for the American Tobacco company and subsidiaries, said the supplycompany recently earned enough to declare a stock dividend of sixty per cent.’’ What’s the difference between the soup houses of 1893 under the Cleveland administration, and the coffee wagon under the Roosevelt regime? McCutcheon, the Chicago Tribune cartoonist, portrayed it vividly Friday in a cartoon, which spoke louder than many columns of words. The only difference is in the name. In Cleveland s time it was the soup houses and in Teddy’s age it has assumed the more dignified name of

"coffee wagon!” And yet this is the best boasted prosperity, that •would live forever according to the promises of campaign boosters only four years ago.—Columbia City Post. An eastern contemporary presents this: As a preventive of grip sleeping rooms should not be heated except in the morning when the occupant is dressing. Apparel, except underclothing, should be changed to suit the weather; standing on damp pave'■jnents should be avoided, and people should learn to breathe through the nose and thus take deep inhalations of fresh air.

A Mistake. Not one es us, even the meet good natured, likes to have hla mistake® pointed out We may appear not to mind corrections and accept them with a smile, but It is human nature to ■mart under correction, although some of us may be clever enough to conceal the smart; hence the fewer mistakes we call attention to in others the better. Two-thlrda of the mistakes we make are trivial. Their correction to unimportant. Why. then, notice them? Yet some people do, and do so constantly. A person speaks of having done a certain thing on Thursday, when in reality it was done on Wednesday. If no Important point is involved, why call attention to the mistake? What good does it do to have the exact day set right? It to a matter of no Importance, so why insist upon correcting the trivial error? Staneh friendships have often been pricked by this needle of useless correction. It is a great art, thia art of learning to allow others to be mistaken when the mistake is unimportant Few learn it but those who do are among the most comfortable friends one can have.

Arbiters of Hairdressing. "I want to learn the latest thing in hairdressing," said the visitor as soon as she landed in New York. "Take me to a hairdresser’s establishment so I can look things over.’’ “No. indeed.’’ said her New York friend. "We will go there after you know what you wish to buy. but the place to learn how to dress your hair is in the dry goods shops. All you have to do is to study the salesgirls’ hair. It is always done in the latest mode, and they all do it alike, so you cannot mistake. Sometimes it is badly exaggerated, but of course, you don’t have to copy that" "I didn’t know the shopgirls were your arbiters of fashion in New York." “Not in all respects, but you see, hairdressing doesn't cost anything. To have the latest styles in clotbea or jewelry is expensive, but one can be a very howling swell in the matter of hair without its costing a cent Besides. they are usually restricted in the matter of gowns to plain black or possibly white blouses, so they take it all out in doing their hair.”— New York Press.

Art Roosts Mign. A number of women founded a clnb for the purpose of dabbling in literature and artistic pursuits. The two having the most leisure were delegated by the other members to look for clubrooms. A week later they reported that they had made a selection. “Where are the rooms?” asked the rest of the women. “On the third floor of this building,” said the house hunters, and they spread out on the table a number of exterior and interior views of the building they had chosen. But their club associates refused even to look at the pictures. “If the rooms are on the third floor it isn’t worth while to consider them even for a minute,” they said. "It is an unwritten law that all clubrooms dedicated to aesthetic and artistic pursuits must have an aerial location. Nothing below the eighth floor can be thought of. It is all right for political clubs and other organizations devoted to material interests to house themselves in first second and third floors, but the higher the aims of any society the higher the altitude demanded for its cltjprooms.” The house hunters looked sorely puzzled. “Why?” they asked. But not even the most enlightened woman present could tell why. “We only know that it is so,” they said. "Look up the location of all really soulful societies, and you’ll find thot the law i> hfully observed.”— One Advantage. “What do you think of this idea of having dogs for caddies?” asked the old golfer. “It's a good idea,” replied the beginner. “The dogs can’t laugh at you!”— London Standard. An Old Timer. “1 guess that Tom over there is pretty old,” remarked the young Tomcat “I should say,” replied the other. “Why, he claims that once in his youth he actually saw a bootjack.”—Philadelphia Press.

The Ladies’ Home Missionary society of the Methodist church held an excellent meeting at the home of Mrs .John Niblick Friday afternoon. The ladies had several splendid papers on the Indians of the Oklahoma and Indiana territory. The most important one was given by Mrs. Niblick, who illustrated her talk by the maps and drawings and many articles which were made by the Indians and brought here by Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison. who collected them while on her trips. Mrs. C. B. Wilcox sang a very sweet solo entitled “Just One,” after which dainty refreshments were served by the hostess. The attendance numbered twenty ladies.

Miss Neva Brandyberry left this morning to be the guest at a birthday party, which will be given by Miss Lilah Underwood, the daughter of H. C. Underwood, at their home at Fort Wayne this evening.

Allison, by defeating Bart France, now heads the list and if he keeps up the clip started last evening will no doubt cause the remainder of the contestants considerable trouble. His work against France last evening was marvelous and he deserved the game he won. The score for the contest was Allison 100, France 79. Bobo and Elzey hooked up in the second game, which proved to be the closest game yet played in the tournament and resulted in a victory for Bobo by a score of 100 to 98. It was any one’s game until the last shot w-as made. The contests last evening attracted considerable attention and still prove interesting. From all present appearances it is going to prove hard to pick a winner.

APPETITE OUH BEST GUIDE. It Will Not Lead Us Astray In ths Matter of Overeating. It is the systematic practice of civilized people to thwart, pervert, defy and then abuse their appetites—with lamentable consequences. Let me briefly describe what this admirable guide of ours will do for us if it be given a chance. The appetite of the properly brought up child is simply Invaluable. A child needs a great deal of sugar, and If its appetite for this substance be regarded as reasonable and not a symptom of original sin the child will take just so much sugar as it needs, neither more nor less, and will not gorge itself With sweets when it gets a chance. I am not talking at random, for I observe daily in a small child of my own. and it is the experience of all parents endowed with sufficient sense. The food which the child dislikes, such as fat is the food which the child's stomach has the most difficulty in digesting. In adult life, if the appetite be not cheated by the cook, it is our constant mentor and guide and friend. When we are taking much exercise it is abundant When we take little exercise it diminishes, as it should. As old age comes oh much less food is required and appetite correspondingly diminishes. In short, at every period of life and in all circumstances a properly respected appetite will guide us in the fashion for which appetite was designed. But we are much too clever to be run by our instincts, are we not? We deprive the child of the sugar which it craves and then find it a little nuisance and a pig because it makes Itself ill with sweets. It is we vho should be scolded and should squirm. When our own appetites fall we never dream of asking ourselves whether this is a morbid failure due to illness or is a normal diminution telling ns that we do not need food at present or that we are not in a fit state at the moment to digest it. When warm weather comes most of us use every device of cookery in order to produce an artificial appetite, which we will then satisfy. Thereafter we will complain of the heat But since we have just piled unnecessary fuel on the furnace, can we wonder that we find hot weather oppressive? Then, as the years go on and we obtain more leisure and free cash, perhaps we are Hable to devote ourselves more and more to the pleasures of the table, seeking ever new devices to promote that hunger which is the best sauce—the sauce which all other sauces are designed to produce. All doctors know the results. If we turn to the lower animals and observe how wisely and well their unvitiated appetites guide them we begin to see the point of the saying that “ignorance is bliss.”—C. W. Saleeby, M. D., F. R. S. Edin., in London Mirror. Doglike, As usual, he complained that the biscuits were heavy, the coffee weak, the bacon burned, and so forth. His wife in the end looked up calmly from her letters. “Don’t growl so over your breakfast,” she said, smiling. "Nobody is going to take it away from you.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.

DODGED THE BULLETS. | Incident of th* Italian Revolution of! 1848 In Brescia. The Count de Hubner tells in his ’ memoirs a thrilling story of an adventure in the Italian city of Brescia during the days of the revolution of 1848. When the trouble began in the streets he contrived to get into a house, taking with him two or three other persons, including the wife of a minor official who had Intrusted the lady for awhile to the count’s care, but who was to have certain news of her as toon as possible. The firing grew heavier, and the rebels soon had possession of almost every house In the street On the 19th of March Count de Hubner decided that he must do something toward bettering his position in case of an assault, and be forced his only remaining servant to make a dash across the street to the palace where the Austrian general. Rath, was quartered. two blocks away and on the other side. The man was merely to let the general know that De Hubner himself was coming and to ask that the gates be held ready for him. “Myself, prudence and my honor had a long and heated argument.” says Count de Hubner. “Finally I pulled. myself together. I had to let Prince I Metternich know about myself, to make a last report and to keep my word about poor Mme. M. I undid the door, drew a long breath and plunged down the street. “The bullets flew all around me. spattering In leaden showers from the stone pavement. As I arrived at tho gates of the palace they swung inward, and in a second I was Inside, unscathed. But only half my journey was done. I had still to go back again. “A letter—my last report—was soon completed for Metternich and my message to the husband of Mme. M. was given. 1 had to return. “Again the gates were opened and I bounded forth. A veritable fusillade followed. From every window and housetop came the spurts of white smoke, and I tried to dodge forty bullets at once. In a minute I had reached my own door, and as I did so I turned to look back. "Another man left the palace gates at full speed, but before he had half crossed the street a puff of smoke shot out of a window and he fell flat and was Instantly lying like a log across the gutter. The fire stopped at oncewhat use would even an Italian see in shooting a dead man? “But on the second that all became quiet to my great astonishment I saw this ‘dead man' rise to his legs like a cat and dash across the street into the half open door waiting for him. The sharpshooters were taken by surprise, and he escaped.”

Beggars In Italy. As the natural beauties of Italy increase toward the south so do the beggars in numbers and persistence. The lame, the halt and the blind confront one everywhere in Naples. Mothers exhibit the aillngs of pitiable children, and strong, well children follow the foreigner about, begging for soldi. They stick like leeches to the travelei unaccustomed to the country’s ways, sometimes even laying hands on him to call attention to their needs. This nuisance is in no small degree due to the careless generosity of tourists who scatter coppers to be struggled for by ragamuffins in the streets or whose hearts are touched by pitiable spectacles. It is. however, better to make a firm rule not to give. In the first place your money when given to manifestly needy beggars is often extorted from them by ablebodied loafers. Besides, if you give one you’ll soon find a crowd after you. If you must give, give little. A soldo (equivalent of our cent) Is sufficient. Knowledge of methods of dismissing importuning beggars, touts and venders will be found useful on reaching Naples and other cities of the south. The word “niente” (nothing), spoken firmly, is the first to use. If this does not suffice try what Baedeker describes as “a slight backward motion of the head, accompanied by a somewhat contemptuous expression.” “Va via!” (Italian for “Get out!”) may i also be found useful.—Travel Magazine. Bohemia’s Rocky Maze. The Rocky maze of Prachov, near Jacln, in northern Bohemia, is a veritable natural curiosity. It has been well described as a gigantic “freak in stone.” To enter the labyrinth without a guide is a perilous proceeding, for an unwary adventurer would probably speedily be lost in the tortuous windings of the maze, where the paths are so narrow and crooked and the cliffs on the side so high that the explorer soon loses all idea of locality. In days of fiery persecution the Moravian and Bohemian brethren’s secret prayer meetings nsed to be held here, just as the early Christians assembled to worship In the catacombs. The cliffs are honeycombed with cells, and at the far end of the maze Is a rock castle, where tn the old days a robber baron lived and took toll of all wayfarers. The shape of some of the rocks is very curious. There are, for Instance, the “bishop and miter,” the "Madonna and the child” and many others.—London Scraps. A Red Headed Match. While in a tobacconist's shop a gentleman asked a girl behind the counter, who happened to have red hair. If she would oblige him with a match. “With pleasure. If you will have a red headed one," she promptly replied, with a suggestive, demure smile that aroused his interest. Further conversation proved her to be a person worthy of regard, and eventually the red headed match wu handed over.—London Punch.

Had Hie Revenge. The rivalry was great at the annual cricket match police versus publicans, and many friendly bets depended on the result. When the last batsman. Police Constable Robinson, walked to the wicket the police required only two runs to win, and naturally great excitement prevailed. He batted w itb due care until a loose ball came, and. hitting this pc.st mid-on, he started for an easv run. He got home comiortably before the wicket was thrown down, but to his disgust he was given •ut “Why," exclaimed the Indignant constable, “I was a yard past the wicket!" “Mebbee.” said the umpire In a supercilious tone, "but. yer see, it nin t what you say; it's what I say, an 1 say you’m out!” "But”— began the Irate Robinson. “D'yer remember," interrupted the umpire, meditatively scratching his nose, "sayin’ to me 'bout six months ago, ‘Don’t argue with the law ? Well, you was the law tba* time an 1 was run in. Now.” he aaded. triumphant, “I’m the law an’ you're run out!”— London Tit-Bits.

Pay of Army Officers. A glance over the army list shows that over two-thirds of the officers are receiving less pay per day than good mechanics receive in civil li.e. The officer has no home, but must be prepared to live lu the arctics or the tropics and change from one to the other at short notice. He must have equip ' meat for both, and while in one place; the equipment for the other is stored and deteriorating. He Is sent on long journeys to distant stations and must suffer banishment from his family or take them along. Either is a great expense—on one hand for travel and on the other for maintenance of two establishments. His changes of station are so frequent that he must put his children in costly private schools or see them grow up in ignorance. Because he is an officer of the United States service to use the respectability of his position to add to his income commercially is regarded as reprehensible. and if he makes an investment he must Intrust bls Interests to an agent.—Army and Navy Life. The Old, Old Story. Hot, tired and dusty, the excursion was returning from the seaside day trip, and Simkins, a little bald man with big ears, overcome with his day of happiness, dropped off to sleep. In the hatrack above another passenger had deposited a ferocious crab In a bucket, and when Simkins went to sleep the crab woke up and. finding things dull in the bucket, started exploring. By careful navigation Mr. Crab reached the edge of the rack, but the next moment down It fell, alighting on Simkins’ shoulder. Not feeling quite safe, it grabbed the voluminous ear of Simkins to steady itself, and the passengers held their breath and waited for developments. But Simkins only shook bis head slightly. “Let go. Eliza.” he murmured. “I tell you I have been at the office all the •vening."—London Pick-Me-Up. Fish In Inclosed Waters. Most people not without education and a general knowledge of natural history are mystified by the presence of fish in Inclosed waters. For many years there was open mouthed wonder over the perch, bream and crayfish found in the newly cut dams near the Macquarie river, in New South Wales. In some cases the water had scarcely settled after the rain had filled the dam than the fish were observed, and the Australian farmers started a theory of spontaneous production. This obtained and gained wide credence until a Sydney professor chanced to pick up a wild duck and found its breast feathers and webbed feet well dotted with fertile and almost hatched fish ova, on which the “spontaneous production” theory was promptly withdrawn.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat Old Time Mountebanks. Coryat, describing the mountebanks he saw at V enice in the seventeenth century, who were adepts in the art of advertising, speaks of the “oration to the audience of half an hour long, wherein he doth most hyperbolical! '• extol the virtues of his drugs and confections, though many of them are very counterfeit and false.” And the ruthor of a "Tour Through England” ( 723) writes of a mountebank he saw in Winchester: “He cures all diseases and sells big packets for sixpence apiece. » • • it is a prodigy how go wise a people as the English are gulled by guch pickpockets.”

One of the most intelligent inmates es a blind asylum, who came into the world blind, says that he never dreams cf the things he has read about and never dreams of any thing or peneon that he has not in some way come in personal contact with. He dreams of music, of the voices of persons he knows, of such incidents as might happen at the home or in some place in which he has actually been, but never of incidents in other places or in other lands. Even although he has read descriptions of localities, of natural beauties, of the appearance of a street or a city, no idea of what they look like comes to him in the fancies of his sleep. There is a class of blind people who become blind when quite young. Such blind people never dream of any scene or object except those which have remained in the memory from wbat they actually saw before they became blind.—Pearson’s Weekly. Men, Woven and Adjective*. | Certain adjectives are reserved for men and others for women. A man is never called “beautiful.” Along with “pretty” and “lovely” that adjective has become the property of women and i children alone. "Handsome” and the ■ weak “good looking” are the only two I adjectives of the kind common to either sex. Even “belle” has no real masculine correlative in English, since “beau” came to signify soinethlng other than personal looks. It is singular that “handsome” should have become the word for a strikingly good looking person, since its literal meaning is handy, dexterous. But "pretty” likewise comes from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning “sly.” Beauty In th* Angleworm. If there is any living thing that seems to have nothing to relieve its ugliness it is 'he angleworm that crawls slimily across the sidewalk after a heavy rain. And yet even that is beautiful. Put a bit of its upper skin under the microscope and your ideas of the poor little worm will change mightily. It shimmers like the softest satin and spar- ■ kies with all the colors of the rainbow, for it is covered with little fine lines crossing each other like th* cuttings in a glass vase. ) Mary Knew All About It. Little Mary’s father had been teaching her to walk properly. “Waik slowly and turn out your toes.” he admon- ' ished her. ' While she was undergoing this teaching she attended Sunday school one day. The golden text was. “Teach me ‘ to walk honestly." After reciting it several times the teacher asked: ' “Who kuows wbat that means?” ' “I do," replied little Mary. “Walk ■lowly and turn out your toes."
