The unprecedented early. commencement of q
general and severe drought has excited the ap-
prehension of short supply Of water, and calls
for preventive measures on the part of Its 9TH
cersto provide against all unnecessary waste by
consumers.
It IS the earnest request of the President and
Directors to heads of families that no unneces-
sary waste shall be permitted, and that servants
and children shall shut off hydrants as soon as
possible when used.
Especial attention is called to the use OF wash
pans and bath-tubs both fruitful sources ofwaste.
The rules and regulations Of the Company,
under its charter, provide fines and penalties for
am and all unnecessary ionste, and it becomes
the imperative duty Of the officers, especially
under the condition of Ii scant supply, to enforce
these wholesome regulations upon all offenders.

housckeepers induces US to hope that we shall
be sustained in our efforts to prevent all waste

Boston, the prdbosal that the ground east OF
Royal street and south Of Franklin street, should
be obtained for a Park and gradually improved,
to that end. This is valuable suggestion, and
trust some effort will be made by public spirit
ed citizens to carry it out. Nothing would con-
duce more directly to the common tencft.

TOBACCO HoUsE.-Among the manufacture

TOBACCO HoUsE-Among the manufactur-
ing interests of Alexandra none has more
rapidly improved Of late than the cigar making
business, and the firm of Steiner & Yohe are
more extensively engaged in thispursuit than
any other house in the city. For sometime past
they have occupied the large warehouse on the
southwest corner of King and Water streets,
formerly known as the Corn Exchange, as their
factory, and there they employ about twenty five
hands in the various processes connected with
the making and packing Of cigars. The brands
they manufacture sell at from 1921 to Sll0 per
thousand, and find ready sale, principally in
Washington, though dealers in all this section
of country are their customers; AM some est-
mate may be made of the extent of their bust
ness when the number of hands they employ
and the price at which their cigars are sold are re-
membcrcd. The material they consume is
brought in large quantities from Connecticut
and Cuba, the Maryland tobacco being too
coarse, and stored, to be used as occasion re-
quires Their hands, who are supplied with
all the modern appliances for neat and rapid
work, including moulds for each cigar, make
from $l5 to $25 week, according to the time
they are employed, and as they all live here
the weekly amount of money they put into cir
culaton is no inconsiderable sum- ln addition
to their wholesale business the firm has large
retail establishment on the corner of King and
Fairfax streets. Mr.. U. M. Monroe is con,
nectcd with this house in the wholesale tobacco
business, and his monthly sales are really sur
prsing to those who are unacquainted with the
extent of his operations, most of the Lynchburg
tobacco that comes to this city being sent on
his account.
