American Cigarettes In Paris


American Cigarettes In Paris.
TheScripps Leagueeorrespond-
emit Of the Cincinnati Post says:
ITO thesmokers Of thesxpcdition
the monopoly exercised by the
French government in the manu-.
facture OF tobacco is a nuisance.
A good cigar has not yet been
found by anyone, and good chew
Ing tobacco cannot be had. The
government prevents the iInpor.
tation Of just such cigars as il
sees fit, and every tobacco userin
the expedition is of the opinion
That its sense Of fitness is restrict
ed TO admitting only the rankcst
kind Of weeds. A package Of
American cigarettes, selling for
five cents In the United States,
cost fifty cents in Paris. Tue
price added to cigars isabout the
same. When q smoker has puF.
chnsed n cigar that he thinks lle
can smoke and still live, he on.
counters another sung when he
tries TO get n light. The govern.
mpnt has also o monopoly OF
matches andwhen thesInoker'sin.
diguation on the cigar question
has subsidized, he gets up to the
boiling point again by his ineiicc.
tual efforts to strike a bad
mitch" The price for American
cigarettes In Paris il considera-
tly less than stated by our con.
temporary's correspondent. At
Tho Grand Hotel, Paris, the retail
price IL exactly 00percent. more
than In the United States, and
this Is the only depot In the city
vhere they ore sold.-Er.

Roseburg, a Jewish private soldier
who had saved several Thousand dollars
by long service, he induced him to form
a partnership TO loan money 10 the soldiers
from pay day to pay day at 10 per
cent. per month. Business prOspered,
and the next step was to borrow money.
| paying 8 per cent per month interest.
Everything moved serenely, interest was
paid promptly. al Obligations were met
and a general banking business OF large
dimensions was btibg done, many officers
loaniDg money or having pay warrants
discounted. Saturday hast, when the
soldiers were paid off. Grant Is said to
have collected 81, 900 Of the loans of tho
