TOBACCO PrLP PAPER.-Paper made out
of tobacco stems is one Of the latest claim
ants for public attention. The tobacco
pulp. it IS asserted produces a much
stronger paper than wood at much small
cr cost. Samples Of tobacco paper made
under favorable circumstances show com
paratvcly few defects, and the strength is
said to have been successfully tested by
lifting hundred pound boy on a single
broad sheet. \ great point in the manu-
facture Of the pulp is the fact that only the
ordinary machinery found in every paper
mill is required-bcaters rotary and grind
ing machines-while wood has 10 be
skinned strapped, relieved Of knots and
rotten paris and grated The average
quality of wood used loses from GO
to 50 per cent. in waste and
the most expensive chemical process of re-
ducing it 10 pulp brings the amount OF
waste down only 10 81 per cent. Tobacco
stalk, however, reduced by Il purely me
chanical process to bone dry pulp, shows
q waste OF only ) per cent.-lNew Haven

A Daring Robbery in chicaeo.

L
CHICAGO, ILL.,. Feb. ga daring rob.
berry was committed Saturday evening, at
1870 o'clock, on Larrabee street car, at
the corner of Fifth avenue and Randolph
street. John Quitsch, a German machinist
of South Chicago, was robbed of $2l0 by
four foot-pads, who boarded the car at
| the above point just as 1t was about to
start on its trip north. Mr.. Quitsch drew
his months salary the day before,
| besides considerable amount Of
other money from various sources, and
came to this city to visit friends. Arriv-
ing here early in the evening, he went to
the corner of Randolph street and Fifth
avenue to take Larrabee street car He
was accompanied by friend, who fortu-
nately escaped the robbers. About the
time Mr.. Quitsch boarded the car four
young men also got on, entering in pairs
by either door. Two of them held the
doors, while their companions walk
ed up to the South Chi
cago machinist and proceeded to go
through his pockets. One of the pair
caught him about the neck and struck
him in the face with blunt instrument,
which rendered him partially insensible.
The other began searching his pockets
and drew out the roll containing the
S2l0. The whole thing occurred be-
fore the machinist or his companion had
time to realize what had happened,
and as the conductor of the car
was busily engaged assisting the driver
to hitch the horses, he was also
ignorant OF the affair. The robbers all
escaped by the way they had entered, and
it was fully ten minutes afterward when
the police were notified. 1t may be well
to state, however, that there were three
policemen within block of the car when
the robbery was being committed. To
one of them the case was reported and
he telephoned 1t to the detective office.
Mr.. Qultsch subsequently reported the
case in person, and gave such an ac-
curate description of the robbers that
they cannot be missed. He believes that
one or two of them followed him from
South Chicago, knowing that he had the
money with him, and meeting their com
panions here, planned and committed the
robbery. Although reporter saw the
unfortunate victim leave the detective
office after he made his complaint, both
OF the lieutenants of that department de-
MED that any robbery had been commit
ted when questioned subsequently.
Last night Detectives Rohan and Meyer
arrested Christian Shredder, at the corner
of Randolph and Clark streets, Oh suspi-
cion that he was connected with the affair.

The Ayondale Horror,

CINCINNATI, o. Feb. 25.--The Town
Hall at Avondale could not contain the
people who thronged to the funeral of the
murdered Taylor family. Several speak
ers held that the men who committed the
deed were deserving of no more sympathy
than they themselves had shown, when
beating out the brains of the helpless
family. Elder Scott limited that they
should be hanged to the nearest lamp
post. Resolutions were adopted calling
for the swift punishment of the murder
ers, and for searching investigation as
to whether there was any completely in
the crime on the part Of those who pur-
chased the bodies.

THE COMING BOAT RACE.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Thc all-absorbing
topic in sporting circles is the coming
Wallace Ross-Bubear boat race. The
practice of the men is narrowly watched
Large amounts of money are being freely
laid on each. Bubear, however, seems to
have the call. Men well posted express
the belief that the lead to be given him
by Ross of ten seconds is too much for
the latter to overcome. Bubear, they say,
is slayer, who will pull as strongly at
the finish as at the start, and will be GER
tain to give the Canadian a lively race.
The scullers practice daily, taking spin
in the morning and another after dinner.
In practices Ross has shown terrific speed
in spurts. Both men are in good condi-
ton, and if no hitch occurs, the race bids
fair to be one of the closest ever contest

RAssAM on THE SITUATION IN THE sOuDAN.
LONDON, Feb. 2j,-Mr. Rassam, a man
of many languages, and well able to
speak concerning Abyssinia, in an inter-
view in regard to the published report
that the Government has ordered Admi-
raj Hewitt to send Commodore Wolfe to
King John of AbySsinia to negotiate
with that monarch to aid in liberating the
garrison of Southern Soudan, said that
England might as well ask the ruler of
Ashantee to give his aid as to apply to
the Abyssinian. King John may desire
to see the Soudan tribes subjected, but
his power against the tribes will be
small. If this were large, the obtaining
of help now would mean the inauguration
Of long course Of carnage between
the Abyssinian Moslem tribes. Rassam
suggests that if the Soudan is to be aban-
Csoned it should first have been conquer
cred and then parcelled out among the
chiefs, who would owe allegiance to the
Khedive.

A Boom in the Leather Market.

A New York special says: "There is a boom
in the leather market. Within a week prices
have advanced 10 per cent, and leather men
predict rise of fully 10 per cent more. For
years past the leather market has been depressed
and leather dealers have had hard time getting
along. Men went into the business on borrowed
capital, and, running at loss, made it impossi-
BILE for legitimate dealers to compete with them.
These men failed in time, and their failures
cleared the air and lessened production. The
importation of foreign hides has fallen off 80 per
cent. Nearly one million hides less than were
imported in 1881 were imported in 1883. There
was a cattle epidemic in South America in
1881 and 1882, and more cattle were Slaugh-
tered for their shdes. There is no epidemic
now. As a result of these and other causes the
stock of leather in sight has been growing grad
ually smaller and smaller. None of she buyers
seem to have taken alarm until recently. On
Monday, March 10, number of Western buyers
came to this city and bought up all there was On
hand This is just the season when manufact-
urers begin to take their orders for fall deliv-
cries, and when as consequence, there is an
unusual number of buyers in the market. Manu-
facturers have, as rule, kept only small sup
plies of leather on hand, buying it only as it
was needed to fill orders Last week they found
leather hard to get, and their competition to
secure stock sufficient to cover their orders sent
prices up. The manufacturers finding they
must pay more for stock at once advanced their
prices for their goods, the advance being 81 a
case. This means raise of about cents on
shoes and IL cents pair on boots, wholesale.
They found jobbers ready to pay these prices,
and the demand for goods was not at all
checked
