The Shops Of Cuba's Capital.

The shops and cafes of Havana are
surely more bright and interesting than
those OF any other city. Among the shops
you will find no great establishments COW
ering half acre of ground, half dozen
stories high, and giving one a feeling OF
despair to enter; but they are all on one
floor, high, cool, pretty, and many ladies
have habit Of shopping from their car
riages, to which the pleasant clerks or
chivalrous proprietors bring for inspection
and purchase any article desired.
In America it is the endless effort of
merchants TO get goods of every possible
description under one roof. Here, the
shops as a rule are moro characteristic
and indiyidualized. One merchant deals
in silks and trimmings; another only in
velvets and velveteens; another may show
superb lines of linen; another sells cot
tons and prints alone; woolens can be
found only at the merchant in woods; all
manner of laces occupy the attention of
others, and rarely will you find the
general notion store so common with us.
So, too, outside Of the textile fabrics these
divisions are vigorously observed. A
photographer is not IAN artist" bronze
goods dc not include pottery; the jeweler
sells jewelry not watches and clocks;
the woodenwarc, irOnware and basket
ware merchants are not each all the
others, and wine merchants do not sell

The only opponents to this highly commen-

YELLOW SPRINGS.

YELLOW SPRINGS, March ..S1.-In Yel-
low Springs, as in our neghboring village,
rucal political matters are receiving cOnsid-
cradle attention. Party lines are not drawn
b re, as the democrats and prohbs could
do nothing, bting in hopeless minority.
Thus we have free-for-all race, and any
one can run who wants to do so. Up to
date numerous candidates are announced
for the various Offices, but at this time ii is

the saloon question will play an important
part. 1t is very uncertain as to the re-

The STRENGTH OF CIGARS.
A Kansas City Dealer Says 1t Is Not
Indicated by the Color.


Indicated by the Color.
''It is surprising" said a prominent
tobacco man the other day, ''the amount
! of misinrormation that prevails among old
smokers even in reference to the strength
of cigars as indicated by the color of the
wrapper. These colors run from claro,
the lightese, to oscuro, the darkest, but
the latter is very rare color and is sell
dom seen nowadays. Now, ninety nine
smokers out of a hundred fancy that the
strength of the tobacco is regulated by
| the color of the cigar. but it is great
mistake 1t has little or nothing to do
with it whatever, but the man who calls
for a claro walks off entirely satisfied that
he is necessarily smoking a mild cigar,
whereas he might have bought Maduro
and got milder one.
Il will tell you why. A packer will
have before him on a table a large num-
Der of cigars, the wrappers of which will
vary in color from light yellow down to
an almost black shade. The filler re-
member, in all these is exactly the same
Well, ne will pick out the lightest in the
lot, lay them TO one side, pick out the
next lightest and place them to one side,
until nothing but the very darkest are
left. The first lot will be packed away
into boxes stamped Claro. the second in
boxes stamped COlora 10 and the third in
boxes stamped Maduro. There are, OF
course, intermediate grades, such as Colo
RADIO Claro and Colorado Maduro, but you
see that the Claro box contains just as
strong cigar rs the Maduro There
may lie a little difference owing to the
color Of the wrapper, but that is very
slight. The color is determined entirely
by the packer and the distinction is made
solely because cigars OF uniform color
look more attractive.
Here, for instance are two boxes of ci-
gars both stamped Colorado. One is the
Maradona. made from the Vuelta Arbajo
district tobacco; the other is the Arletta,
made from the tobacco of Partidas dis
trict. These cigars are of about the same
strength, and yet the Arletta is much the
darker. Now, the ord dnary smoker would
be almost certain to take the Maradora if
he wanted n mild and the Arletta if he
wanted u strong cigar. The supposed diff
ference in strength as indicated by the
color is purely imaginary. kansas City

THE WATER WORKS BONDS.
Mr.. n. O. Gsyn Explaas Faily Thei
Necessity and Purpose.
To the Editor Of the Republic:
l have been asked by several citizen
within the past few days for an explai q
tion Of the circumstances which has neces
STATED the calling for. by the water work
trustees. Of an additional issue at this tint
of $50 600 of bonds for new pumping ma
chinery. etc, for our water works, ant
alter making the explanation to one OF ou
most prominent business men. who haC
asked me the question, was surprised t.
learn IN him that he had bt en- repaired tt
vote mo" on the question, but now, as hi
understood the merits and necessity of the
case, he was prepared, and would vote
Yes" and at his suggestion, that Others
nay be Set right in the matter, beg leave
t. make brief statement on the subject.
In th original construction of the water
wo KS IN 1881, the system and plans adopt
ed by those in charge of Its construction
were such as to give to the city the best
w.ter works that could be had with the
money appropriated. With this view In
m nd the pipe system was made large and
extended. The hydrants and valves, etc. ,
were chosen with the care that insured the
very best in the market. The stand pipe
was built in the most solid and substantial
manner. and of the very best materials.
The buildings are neat and convenient, and
the only place that the trustees could not do
just as they would have liked to do. was In
the pumping machinery department
In discriminating what pumping machin-
cry should be put in the trustees would have
liked to been able to put two pumps of
equal capacity that could have been used
alternately, when desired, each being of
capacity to supply the city in case of the
disability of either, but to do this would
have required more money than was avail
able unles some other psrt Of the works
was reduced, which could not not have
been done without decreasing the effective
ness of the whole system.
So it was decided to put In one large
pumping engine. of the most improved
make, and one small one, as an auxiliary,
of a less expensive pattern, which. when it
became necessary to replace by a larger
one. could be done and the loss compare
lively small.
The time has now come when this small
pumping engine Is not large enough 10
pump the supply of water now required by
the city, in care ii was called to do so. by
the giving out of the large one even for a
day. and it is now proposed by the present
trustees to put In new pumping engine of
at least twice the capacity of the large one
now in use, in place of the small one which
would be sold, so that the only loss that the
city would sustain is the difference between
