A Medical Experts Queer Idea Abou
the Manufacture of Cigarettes.

A Medical Experts Queer Idea About
the Manufacture of Cigarettes.
Speaking on the subject of tobacco gen.
orally, and cigarette smoking especially,
the other day, well-known medical eX-
pert said to a reporter for the New York
Malt and Express: ''If all the cigarettes
that are smoked were made of second
hand tobacco. l believe it would be a good
thing for the youth of the country. BY
secondhand tobacco l mean the old
stumps which are gathered by the ton
about the city, from hotel cuspidOrs, sa-
loon ash-bOXes. railway Waiting-T0Oms,
and public places generally.I
Nv hat! DO you mean to say that Gig
arettes made from such stock are less
harmful than if made from fresh, pure
leaf:"
i do. In the process of Transforming
the filthy accumulatiOns of gutter and
cuspidOrs into bright, finely favored
smoking tobacco most Of the deleterious
substances of the tobacco are extracted.
The old cigar stumps, after the charred
ends are cut eff, are soaked in a solution
of ammonia and some other chemical,
which takes away nearly all the nicotine
from the tobacco and removes all traces
Of smoke and creOsOte. This mass OF
pulpy tobacco is then pressed in cakes
and shaved into fine shreds by a cutting
machine. Then it is given a bath in some
bleaching solution, which removes nearly
all the properties Of which the weed is
possessed when is comes from the planta-
ton. Then it is dried. after which it is
passed under an atOmizer and dampened
by means Of preparation Of glycerine
and some fiavOring extract. Then it is
ready for the cigarette. So before il
reaches the consumer you see there is
little, il any, of the original tobacco left"

THE POPE AT HOME.
How the Holy Father spends the Day
His Work and His Leisure Hours.

How the Holy Father spends the Day
His Work and His Leisure Hours.
Here is the latest account of the Pope's
days work, taken from the Germaniq, the
organ Of the German Ultramontanes,
which ought to know what goes on at the
Vatican. Leo MIL, it asserts, is a busy
man, who perhaps works harder than any
sovereign in Europe. At six he rises, at
seven celebrates mass, after having
spent some time in contemplation
After mass follows a period of prayer
and praise. At the decisions of his con-
gregatiOns and his other correspondence
are attended 10, and at II the public audi
ences are held. The Pope receives the
Bishops and Ambassadors, the pilgrims of
all classes and countries. Then at 1880
he takes a walk in the gardens of the
Vatican, generally accompanied by a
prelate and two of the guard. Mgr. Boo
cali, his private Secretary and friend, is
generally his companion. In case Of in
clement weather or indispositiOn Leo
Mi. drives through the grounds in a car
riage which has been specially built for
the purpose.
The Pope dimes at O'Clock; his midday
meal lasts not longer than half an hour,
and is very frugal, consisting in one kind
of meat, two dishes of vegetables, some
fruit, and by the doctors orders a glass
Of claret. After a short rest, the Pope
works in his private study till half-past
4, when he receives the projects and
secretaries Of the different congregations,
with whom he discusses the affairs
OF the church. The papers from diff
terent countries are brought to him
at O'Clock; the French and Italian
,Napers he reads himself; interesting
arr .'cles from English and German papers
are tr,- -uslated for him. At half-past nine
he narfor MS his evening devOtiOns, and at
ten partake.s Of his supper, consisting in
soup. an egg and some salad. Then he
withdraws into his private room. The
Pope is said to have been in former years
of nature. but for this he haS-now no time.
His love of literature and poetry he is
still able to indulge within the walls Of
his palace prison.

Delegates Told to Use Their Own Judg-
ment at the Chicago Convention
FORT WORTH, TEX, June 13.-When
the Democratic State Convention reas-
sembled Thursday the delegates had not
recovered from the depressing effect of
Tilden's letter. A motion to reconsider
yesterdays vote instructing the dele
gates to vote for Tilden and Hendricks
was tabled by vote of 3O1 to 1872. Not
withstanding the defeat of this motion a
resolution was Immediately adopted re-
questing the delegates to use their own
Judgment in the selection of candidates.
The following delegates were elected:
At large-EX-GoY. r. B. Hubbard, eX-
Congressman d. G. Giddings, Judge T, j,
Brown, Peter Smith, and Mayor Fort

candidates - Flower, VOORHEES,. and

but they all understand that the
decision Of the question does not rest with
them. If it did, and if a Congressional
caucus was to do the work Of the Demo-
cratic Convention. the Cleveland and
Morrison, or Cleveland and Car
Isle, or Cleveland and Mcdonald, or
Cleveland and Palmer, or Cleveland and
some other Western man with a good
war record, would be nominated to-mor-
row on good revenue reform platform /:
but as it is, they can only express their
choice and leave the result with
the convention. At present every
body recognizes that the New York
Convention will determine the outcome at
Chicago. If Cleveland is indOrsed at Sara
toga, Cleveland will be nominated at Chi
gagO. If anybody else is indorsed there,
or If there is split, then the nomination
will so to Bayard or Mcdonald. The
Democratic leaders here are all exceed
ingly anxious that the best man should

can be made, and to that end express the
hope that the Independents will bring all
the pressure possible to bear upon the

TRADE MARKS AND PATENTS.

The Denmark Treaty Ratifed-CabIe
Protection Also ApprOved-The Patent
Rights Treaty Rejected.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The Senate in
executive session yesterday, ratified the
treaty for the protection of trade marks
between the United States and Denmark,
and also the action of the Paris conven-
tion of March last for the protection of
submarine cables. Adverse action was
taken on the proposed accessi on of the
United States to the International Con-
VentiOn of Industrial Properties, signed at
Paris in March, 1888. The last named is
better known as the patent rights treaty.
1t was not approved by the Patent Office
authorities, and was reported adversely
by the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations. 1t was held that
its ratification would necessitate radical
changes in the American system OF patent
laws and would confer no adequate bene-
fit in return. The benefits resulting to
patentees by the ratification by the coun-
tries where the system of patent laws
was less liberal were considerable. But
they already enjoyed, 1t was said, equiva-
lent advantages under the American
patent laws. Twenty-four governments
have ratified and promulgated the treaty
thus rejected by the Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Mr. Randall
returned from New York and Philadel-
phia to-day. He was greatly encouraged
by his visit. He remarked this morning
that the most important event in the
world of politics would be the convention
to be held at Saratoga on Wednesday
next. Its action would have great infu-
ence on the Chicago Convention. From
this and other remarks a theory has been
drawn to the effect that Mr.. Randall has
great hopes in the event that Cleveland
should not be Endorsed by the New York
Convention. Mr.. Randalfs interest in
the Saratoga Convention is shared
by every Democrat in Congress.
They are all awaiting its action as
almost definitive Of the result at Chicago.
They have their personal preferences.
The majority of the Senate is for Bayard,
with Cleveland as second choice. The
majority Of the House is for Cleveland,

Bank was Plundored.
PITTsBURG, PA, June 13.-A hearing
was had this morning in the case of
Thomas j. Watson, the oil broker, and
Cashier ReIber, charged with conspiring
to defraud the Penn Bank. President
Riddle was indicted on information, but
waived hearing and gave bail. The
testimony was mainly repetition of the
facts already published but tended to
show that Riddle, Watson and Reiber
were associated in oil speculations. and
over drafts of fictitious firms represented
their transactions in oil. One of the
fictitious accounts opened with an over
draft of $l25,000 and at the closing the
bank was over 100000 overdrawn.
Thomas j. Watson's individual account
was S97 900 Oyerdrawn. Charges against
oyerdraWn accounts were made by
direction of President Riddle, and Cashier
Relber was cognizant of the condition
of the accounts. The testimony for the
defense will be heard next Friday.
