Advertising Rates of Hotels.

A correspondent wants to know why
the proprietors of summer resort hotels
seldom or never give the rates for the DIFF

The STRENGTH or CIGARS.
A Kansas City Dealer Says 1t Is Not

tobacco man the other day, ''the amount

These colors run from claro,
the lightese, TO oscuro, the darkest, but
the latter is a very rare color and is sell
dom seen nowadays. Now, n~inety-nine
smokers out of a hundred fancy that the
strength of the tobacco is regulated by
the color of the cigar, but it in a 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 a Maduro
and got a miIder one.
81 will tell you why. A packer will
ave before him on a table a large num-
Der of cigars, the wrappers of which will
vary in color from a light yellow down to
an almost black shade. The filler, re-
member, in all these is exactly the same.
Well, he 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 Colorado and the third in
boxes stamped Maduro. There are, of
course, intermediate grades, such as Colo
a d Claro and Colorado Maduro, but you
see that the Claro box contains just as
strong a cigar as the Maduro. There
may be 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 a uniform color
look moresattractive.

Maradona, made from the Vuelta Arbajo
district tobacco; the other is the Arletta,
made from the tobacco of Partidas dis

strength, and yet the Arletta is much the
darker. Now, the ordinary smoker would
be almost certain to take the Maradona if
he wanted a mild and the Arletta if he
wanted a strong cigar. The supposed diff
ference in strength as indicated by the
color is purely NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. City

His shoulders were straight, his cheeks

his hair is gray, his shoulders are bent,
and, while his eyes have not lost their

was, and his judgment in medical cases as
good.

replied that the cancer from which he was
suffering was, if the doctors had dag
nosed the case correctly, of such a nature
that he might live for n year. / offered

find that he had stopped smoking. His
cigar bills a few years ago amounted to
from $500 to 81 900 per annum, but he

BURNING COAL.
The baltimore Colliery near Ha
zIeton, Pa, on Fire.

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. Ga serious
mine fire is in progress five miles north
of this place, at the baltimore colliery,
operated by Pardee brothers. A por-
ton of the workings known as the
counter schultz on the inside slope,
which were abandoned year ago, was
ignited yesterday. 1t was impossible to
get close to the fire. 1t was decided to-
day to adopt the plan of drowning out
the mine, and to this end a stream of
water was turned into the workings.
Should this be successful the fire will
not spread to other adjoining workings
in this section, which are all connected
and honeycomb the entire district. 1t
is impossible TO get within half mile
of the fire inside the slope, and water
ranging from the fire -at that distance is
at the boiling point. The colliery gave
employment to $50 men and boys, all of
whom are now idle.

unseated and a contesting delegation
admitted at the state convention yester-
day. Mr.. CrOssfield, the leader of the

six delegates in the county convention
in this county and upon the rejection
of Mr.. CrOsSfeld'S resolution, he, with
his delegation of five and one from an
adjoining town, who also held proxy,
withdrew from the convention. There
are at least 100 men who were present
who are willing to make affidavit that
the above statements are true. The
action Of the committee is considered by
Republican farmers here as an outrage,
an imposition, and while Traverse could
be safely counted on for at least 600
Republican majority previous to this
action of the state convention, the re-
suit is liable now to be far different. 1t
is, perhaps, needless to remark that
Democrats here are highly elated over
this action, and now count on carving

Explosion at Glendale Are
Dead and Another Cannot Sur
ViVe.
Special to the Globe.
GLENDALE, OAK, Sept. 6.-The eX-
plosion of a traction engine boiler, as
detailed in the GLOBE to-day, was a
more serious matter than at first sup
posed. c. j. Goulette. who owned the
threshing outfit, was just st arting for
the country for work with his boiler
newly repaired, and had just started
the fire. He went from town on the
main road heading north till he passed
by the end of the track of the Mani
tOba railroad; then turning northeast
over rough ground and going diagO-
nally over the sunken road, the eXplo-
sion occurred while the engine was
swaying right and left. When the eX-
plosion took place the engine plunged
into the air and finally landed on its
side some thirty feet from the road 1t
was crossing. The separator, water
tank and coal wagon were attached to
the engine and were being hauled by 1t
at the time of the accident. There was
strong wind at the time and a high
pressure of steam, as the fire had been
replenished with coal and the pump set
in motion just before the explosion.
This, together with the vibration of the
engine in passing the sunken road. was
too much for the boiler, and it collapsed
with deadly effect. William Gilfillan,
who was instantly killed, sat on the
front end of the separator, Immediately
behind the engine. He was about sixty
years of age, married man,
with four grown children, all
of whom. with his widow,
reside at Kilkinny, Mimi, where the
body has been sent. G. j. Goullette,
who was running the engine, was badly
burned about the head, but is in no
danger. Owen Griffin, a boy sixteen
years old, died this afternoon from the
Injuries he received from the explosion.
Gray Mckenzie, another boy about the
same age, is not expected to live through
the night. There were four others in
iured, but none are thought to be IN
danger. The coroner held an inquest
to-day over the body of Giltillan, and
the verdict of the jury eXOnorates Mr..
Goulette from blame, but charges that
the explosion was caused by his mex
perience and ignorance as an engineer,
