The Question Settled and the
Verdict Given.

After thorough investigation by three Of
the leading tobacco experts of the United
States, at the Atlanta Cotton Exposition
where hard-contested fight was made by
the leading cigarette manufacturers from
New York to New Orleans, the award of
first premium and the grand gold medal wa
given to BlackwelPs Bull Durham Cigarette
and Long-Cu Tobaccos, for purity and ex-
cellence, over all others; and Justly So as
they are made of the finest leaf tobacco that
grows on the continent The golden belt OF
North Carolina is noted the world over for
producing the finest and sweetest smoking
tobacco known, and OF that Messrs. w. T,
Blackwell & Co. are holding over seven mil
lion pounds, and the very best selections of
that leaf is worked into their Cigarettes and
Long-Cut, and no leaf worked until two to
three years old, giving their cigarettes that
pure, mild, mellon and street. flavor found in no
other brand ON the market. They are abso-
lutely pure and free from all drugs and adul-
terations. Look for the bull on every pack
age and every cigarette; that is the trade
mark, and none genuine withouti

Military.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Adiutant
General Drum, in his annual report,
shows an increasing interest in military
affairs throughout the country. Army
officers acting as professors in military
tactics and engineering at the schools
and colleges throughout the country
report an increasing interest among the
youth of the country, 40, 060 pupils hav-
ing attended their instruction and over
5000 attended drills The condition
of the militia of the country is steadily
improving. Encampments have been
held in California, Indiana, Maine,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Pennsyl-
vanian and Vermont, and competitive
drills at other places. The condition
of the military prisons is excellent. The
recommendation Of last year, that the
officers be permitted to employ enlisted
men as servants. with the consent of
the men, where 1t is difficult to obtain
the same, was renewed. Also the
recommendation that officers serving on
court martials be allowed per diesn pay.

Gil a bill was submitted proposing to

TAL.-A SAD CHAPTER IN The
CATTLETTSBUR6
AFFAIR.
MeIlyine's Story.

Washington, Nov. "a representa-
tive of the western associated press
this morning called upon Melville and
asked him what he had to say about
the charges contained in the interview
with DIR. Collins, of Minneapolis, re-
specting the charges againt belong, of
the Jeanette expedition, and more es-
pecially that part OF the interview
which charged him (Mellyille) with the
responsibility of the deaths of belong
and his comrades. Melville said he
read the interview, as published in the
morning papers, but did not care to dis
cuss the matter at this time, especially
through the newspapers. That such II
discussion was apt to make matters
worse, being liable to misrepresenta-
ton.
In regard to the suggestion that any
thing he would write on paper would
be laid before the public, Melville re-
piled that he would not write anything
at present. He will soon appear before
the board, when the whole matter will
probably be investigated. Upon being
