FAIR CIGAR FABRicAToRs.


Women Far Superior to Men in Their
De1icacy of Touch ard Dexterity.
The life of female worker in a 'Fabrica
de Tabacosr is laborious and not very we'll
paid, but it is CHEEKY. Two millions OF
pounds of tobacco are on an average manlpu-
lated in factory employing, say, 4,0Oo
hands. A dexterous female operative may
make in day from ten to twelve 'atados'
OF bundles, each containing fifty cigars, and
it is questionable whether her average stl-
pend exceeds the Spanish equivalent OF one
shilling and sixpence day. Elder women are
employed in making, at somewhat higher
wages, very fine rappee snuff called ''tabaco
de frailes,n or monks mixture, which IS gar
bled with ''alrnagra," red earth brought
from the vicinity of Carthagena.
It is not alone in the great cities OF the
peninsula that the cigar making industry
gives employment to crowds of women, for
the most part young. 1t may be mentioned
incidentally that the Spanish 'cigarreras"
are very healthy race and enjoy remarka-
BILE immunity from febrile maladies. In the
city of New York alone it is estimated that
there are 10000 cigarmakers, a large proper
ton of whom are women, and it is a note
worthy fact that the industry is almost
wholly native, cigarmakers by trade form
ing but tiny quota in the great army OF
immigrants from Europe landed i'll the
course of every year on the shores OF the
United States.
Possibly the German cigarmakers can lind
as much work as they want at Bremen, at
Hamburg and at the east end OF London In
the Philippine islands the ladies have de-
cidedly the best of it in comparison with the
r,lder sex as cigarmakers, there being at
Manila a cheroot factory employing 1000
female as against only 1900 male artl1cers,
while at Cavite there are 5000 and at Mala-
bon 1000 cigar workers, the great majority
of whom are women. Negresses, mulattoes
and auadroons are also extensively employed
in the cigar factories of Havana.
Formerly they suffered keenly from the
competition of the Chinese coolies, who at
present. to the exclusion of female labor, are
the chief fabricators of cigars at San Fran
cisco: but in the historic factories OF Havana
the prime brands of cigars are always nm
| ished by white men. Otherwise the dexter
| ity and delicacy of touch of the female hand
| have marked it's owner as specially tit for
| the craft of cigar rolling and covering. In
| the application of the touch of gum at the
| tip. on the proper disposition of which the
| comfortable smoking of the weed depends,
woman is said to be sometimes excelled by
her arrogant rival and tyrant
| 1t is difficult, however, to find civilized
| country in which prodigious numbers OF wo-
men do not habitually earn livelihood by
working in tobacco or cigar factories, not
because their labor can be cheaply obtained,
but because they seem to have special apti-
tude for carrying out the processes employed.

Jokes on the Creduious.

Gas far back as I can remember" said a
gentleman who devotes his leisure to the col
lection of curios, ''every now and then a
hoax has appeared and been implicitly be-
lieved in by the public. But so many hoaxes
have been sprung upon the community OF re-
cent years that people are more skeptlcal
than they used to be. The first hoax L re-
member that was generally believed IN was
that jewelers. would pay S. pound for
cigar ashes. This craze was in vogue all
over the country, and people used to carry
little boxes around with them to collect the
ashes in Few ever undertook to find cut
whether the story was true until he had the
pound of ashes collected, and then, OF course,
it was too late Many sensible people pur-
sued this fad, although moments consldera-
ton would show that no jeweler IN his sober
senses would clean precious metals with a.
gritty compound People who wrote to the
papers for information in regard to the non
descript ieweler were consoled with the
knowledge that cigar ashes made an excel
lent if rather disagreeable dentifrice
ssThen came the story that Queen Victoria
would give 81 900 to each person collecting
/ 200 600 old postage stamps This appealed
directly to the heart of the small boy, and
many an urchin played truant SO that he
could hunt in the ash barrels in front OF the
down town offices. Business men had the
souls worried out Of them by youngsters beg
ging for stamps. When the fabulous gen
erosity of the queen began to be doubted
| new story was circulated 1t was that OF
poor old invalid lady who was offered nice
home for the rest Of her life as soon as she
had collected the million stamps. Then peo-
pie went around collecting stamps for the
I benefit of the mythical old lady. The craze
soon died out. 1t was always supposed to
have been originated by dealers who took
this way of booming the trade i'll used post
age stamps The button fad followed NO
one seemed to know how many buttons had
to be collected on string before the task was
accomplished. 1t ranged from 200 to |, 000,-
900, according to the success OF tile collector.
While the fever lasted many fond father
went to work in the morning with his clothes
pinned on. The last craze was for business
cards 1t was almost universally followed,
but soon died out. Fortunes were made and
lost in the manufacture of chrome advertis-
ING cards,-New York Evening Sun.

THE sTONEWALL BRIGADE BAND

Editor Vindicator:
1t is no reflection upon the other fine Or
panizations of which our city is justly
proud, to say that the Stonewall Band leads
them all and has done more to reflect honor
and credit upon Stanton. both by its
musical efficiency and its splendid organlza-
ton than any, or all of the others, while
the readiness of its members to step to the
front and contribute their assistance to
any and every public or worthy enterprise
is Droyerbial, and is matter OF credltable
record.
Our citizens are justly proud of their
splendid band and have always proved
themselves ready and willing to nelp sus-
tain it when called upon to do SO. But few,
however, as they listen to their inspiriting
music and gaze with feelings of pride and
pleasure upon the splendid body of men as
they sweep triumphantly along the street,
or perchance in glistening uniform grace
the stage of the Opera House and acquit
themselves in manner worthy of veteran
professional band-reaize the amou Mt of
| labor and selfesacrifce required on the
part of its members to keep up their Or
| ganization.
kehearsals must be attended with un-
varying punctuality, regardless of weather
| or other conditions; business must be sacri-
| feed when the band turns out to help
make complete and effective some noted
occasion, which would fall fat enough
without their services; and perohanoe - as
! it was on last Memorial day-our merchants
! and business men reap rich harvest IN
the way of trade, from the great throng
of people gathered here by the direct eff
forts of the band, acting through their
splendid organization, the members of
which, nearly oil Of whom are engaged in
business themselves, are compelled to lose
all or nearly all this valuable trade, which
thew themselves have largely created. in
order to turn out with the band to help
make the day success.
Few also realize the amount of money
necessary to run the band. A heavy rent
must be paid for their fine hall; fuel and
gas must be paid for; new music mnst
constantly be purchased; equipments and
instruments-all of which are of the high
est grade, and consequently costly, must
be kept up; some of the instruments are
very old and much worn, and are gradually
being replaced by new and improved ones
all of which costs money, costs great
deal of money; and though the finances Of
the band are administered as prudently
and economically as possible, yet IT takes
! great deal Of money to maintain it at it,

To-Day.

o soul, why sittest thou SO long
Besides dead past, making moan
Why wiring thy pallid hands and cry
100 late ~ Is not to-day thine own
Thy harvest fields of life are bare,
No wealth or ripened grain thou hast;
Thy careless hands were folded close
Until the sowing time has past.
But CLEAN among another's sheaves.
And starve not for thine early sin,
A hired hand within his fields
Another's harvest gathers in.
Too late, indeed, for thee to build
The structure Of thy visions sweet;
Yet thou, with hopeful hands maYst strive
Another's lapors to complete.
Too late! Thy myrtle branches lie
All withered by the noontide's heat;
Yet thou the nettles mayeSt DESTROY
Which grow within another's gate
The golden sun Of hope fulfilled
Is hidden from thy skies away;
Yet light serene and fair, still lies
Upon the pathway ct to-day.

present high state of efficiency.
The most of this constant tax falls upon
the members of the band, none of VIII 1m
are in more than moderate circum tame IS,
and while our people contribute Literally
when called upon, still the largest contri-
button of any one, outside O. the band, is
doubled and more than doubled each
year, by the amount paid by the poorest
man in it.
Why could not some organized plan of
assistance be arranged among our people
Say, for instance, sum of 800, 5000, or
$500 year be regularly subscribed for
that purpose, and regularly paid. There
are scores of men in Staunton who would
willingly contribute $1.oo, $500, $500
year for this purpose, if the matter was
brought to their attention in a proper
manner.
Let the right man take it up and see
what can be done, for surely no worthier
organization ever claimed more justly
earned support and assistance.

Novel Enterprise in Boston,

A rather novel enterprise has just been es-
tablished in this city, which will interest
property owners at large, and business men
in particular. 1t is something entirely new,
not only in Boston, but in the entire country,
and will undoubtedly prove the pioneer of
similar ones in many other cities The
scheme as developed is to notify property
owners in case of fire that they may be oil
hand to save and protect their possessions.
For instance, a building on Sumner street is
discovered to be on fire at midnight. The
owner or occupant, of course, is unaware Of
the fact, and is probably sound asleep at his
home i'll the Back bay. There may be books,
papers, and articles of small bulk not in the
safe which are quite valuable. Were the
owner present he might be able to save
them, or direct the firemen so that they
could do it. Even if this should not be the
case property owner could personally SUI
pervise the protection Of goods not DESTROYED,
ard certainly he would be interested enough
to wish to be present. If he happens to be q
subscriber to the scheme he is at once noti-
fed of the fire by messenger OF telephone by
the agent of the company, whose business it
is to attend all fires. Should the owner live
within the city limits carriage is sent for
him and he is brought to the fire free of cost.
The scheme operates in the day as we'll as
the night time. If business man leaves his
office and goes to another part of the city he
is hunted up and notified in case of fire
as soon as possible, Now that bell alarms
have been abolished by order of the fire COM
missioners, a man might have his place of
business entirely burned down and not be
made aware of it until he arrives at his usual
hour in the morning unless hunted up by
some friend or reporter. For so cents a
month he can be relieved of all worry, and
can be enabled to reach his property and save
valuables in case of fire. If he doesn't care to
be bothered personally he can arrange to
have his superintendent, junior partner, or
other person or several persons notified in
stead The value Of the scheme can readily
be seen, and it is very apparent in such cases
| where there is a threatening fire i'll the story
| above him or next door. Then he arrives on
| the ground in time to secure his most valu-
| able property before the fire reaches his
| place of business-Boston Herald.

Another Ocean Horror.

In dense fog near San Francisco, CAL,
about 10 o'clock last Wednesday morning,
there was a collision between the Steamer,
City of Chester, that had thatmorning left
San Francisco on her regular trip to Eureka
on the Northern coast of California, and
the Occidental and Or iental steamer Ocean
ic which was just entering the port, having
just arrived from Hong Kong and Yoko-
hama, which resulted in sinking the Getty
of Chester" and the loss of thirty-four of
her passengers.
The greatest loss of life is believed to
have occurred among the steerage passen-
gers, of whom there were twenty three on
board. ALI lost but two.
They were on the lower deck of the
steamer at the time of the collision, and
thefe was no opportunity to warn them of
danger or render them assistance after
ward.
The cabin passengers numbered 70, and
of these ten are lost. Three of the crew
are also lost.

The Republican party changes its position.
Iu speaking of the changed position Of
the Republican party, the New York Herald

lie republican party cnauges lts P0Slti0n.
Iu speaking of the changed position of
the Republican party, the New York Herald
says
"Look at some facts. In the platforms
heretofore constructed the republican party
has loudly demanded a reduction of the sur
plus and such incisive and immediate tariff
reform as will put this country on sound
financial and industrial basis 1t has echo
ed the cry, "Keep the government poor"
and given as reason therefor that over
much money in the Treasury is national
danger, since it breeds jobbery, deals and
all sorts Of political corruption. The whole
country said Amen, and looked to the re-
publicans to embody their conviction in
necessary legislation.
They now declare practically that there is
no surplus. They mean by this that there
is no more money in the Treasury than they
want to spend. That constitutes the pith
of their argument. They said nothing of
that kind in 1884, and they will have cause
to regret having said it in 1888. 1t is paltry,
silly, stupid, possibly something worse.
There is no surplus? That is only another
way of saying that they can spend faster
than the tax gatherer can collect. They
can slap seventy millions into the Blair Ed
vocational bill, can dig that hole of perdition,
the River and Harbor BILL still deeper and
pour any amount into its bottomless pit, and
can construct a public building in every
considerable town on the continent. A sur
plus? Why, there isn't money enough in
the Treasury to satisfy their demands, and
they now deliberately propose to increase
the taxes instead of lowering them.
That is what the republican party stands
for in this year of our Lord. 1t has gone
stark, staring mad. To foster trusts, levy
higher taxes, make it easier for the rich
man to acquire millions and harder for the
poor man to get bread, and then ask for the
sufffages of the laboring classes-that is not
simply impertinenoe; it is irsolence.
Why, gentlemen, if you go on in this way
you will raise tho deuce in this country. Is
your policy to rule or ruin? 1t looks like
it,"
