J. w. Shaeffer & Co., tobacconists,
1923 Sacramento street, San Francisco,
have the following of vital Importance
to say: --- n l-f
AT u large expense we have purchas-
ed from Professor Hartwig, formerly
of Guys hospital i'll London, the se-
-cret OF practically extracting the great
est part of the nicotin from tobacco,
thereby preventing the pernicious ef-
fects arising from the constant use of
the weed. Our new cigar, "Bon TOn,n
is made from Havana tobacco, from
which we have extracted nearly all the
poisonous principle, but left the resin
GUS matter, which imparts to the cigar
u fine aromatic flavor. Every smoker,
at times, has said, upon being offered a
cigar mo, l have smoked enough"
Under such conditions he instinctively
feels that he is under the influence of
the nicotin, which his system has alb
sorbed, and is exerting its deleterious
effects by disturbing the functions of
his brain. No such truly alarming
consequences will result from smoking
our 'BOp Ton" cigar, because the dam
gerous poison of the nicotin is gone,
aud its exquisite qualities alone remain
to crafty the senses of smell and taste.
1t will be astonishing to consumers,
that the smoking of our ''Bon Ton"
cigars causes no desire to expectorate,
produces no dryness of the palate, no
throbbing Of the temples, and does not
destroy tile appetite for food. II smok-
ing is indulged in at all, why not smuke
"Bon Ton" instead of unknown
brands, which may contain the worst
of goods, and hurtful to the system,
upon which nicotin makes truly fearful,
II the lungs are not powerful enough to
throw off the noxious poisonp
The tobacco trade carried on in San
Francisco forms one Of its most active
and prominent interests, and, for a
matter which may fairly be considered
one Of luxury rather than of necessity,
it covers an astonishing extent of COM
mercial area, and finds patronage in a
large proportion of every class in San
Francisco society. The leading tobac-
conis is to-day in the city of the Golden
Gate are the Messrs. j. W. Shaeffer &
Co., patentees of the celebrated sGreen
Seal'' cigars, as well as other import
ant facilities for catering to the wants
of the public in their line.
They take pleasure in announcing
that they have appointed as their sole
agent for Wyoming,

DEMOCRACY AND THE CHINE

DEMOCRACY AND THE CHINESE
The attitude of the democratic party
on the Chinese question can be under
stood when the Washington Post, Its
national organ, declares in favor Of
Chinese immigration, and also throws
open its columns to Col. Bee for
articles strongly favoring the Mon
golians. The colonel is busy button
holing tue leading congressman,
and he is sanguine of preventing
any changes being made in the Burlin-
game treaty, thus securing uninter-
'upted immigration.
/ The full import of all this IS fully un.
derstood by the Irish residents of San
Francisco. They held mass meeting
last Friday evening, and strongly de-
nounced the Post and Col. Bee for their
action. This was most stinging re.
buke to the democratic Post, and those
Irish citizens deserve great credit fol-
their courage In accusing their party
organ. To them self interest is above
party consideration.

any legislation looking to the revoca-

government would retaliate by placing

A Home Criticism

Berlin, Nov. 4.-The Post says eight
weeks ago when the treaty of Berlin
was in danger, Prince Bismarck: ap-
pealed to the signatories to defend it.
England who then rejected the request,
now appeals to Austria and France,
the supposed adversaries Of Russia, for
the purpose of reviving the criminal
alliance. Such attempts are useless.
Furthermore, England, by fostering
jealousles, certainly will not succeed in
preventing friendly relations between
Bulgaria and Greece.
