New Hampshire, by the provisions of

good plan for cutting off long winded

did. He knew that by their long train

The Idea that II is Better Than
a Native One wrong.

Ike Bloom tells the Globe-Democrat
Some people have an absurd notion that
an imported article is necessarily better
than Il domestic or homemade one, and
this idea extends to cigars. A high
priced imported cigar bought Of an hon
est dealer is almost invariably good, but
those who call for three for-a-quarter
imported" get very little for their money,
and far less than if they took domestic
cigars. The reason is this: The
duty on cigars is $3.50 per pound weight,
and 25 per cent, ad valorcm, while the
duty on tobacco is only 35 cents pound,
1t is clear, then, that imported cigars
sold at S1a, carch cannot have cost as
much as $50 a thousand i'll Cuba, where
as the domestic three for quarter
should have cost 500 or $50 at the fac
tory. The prejudice is due to the fact
that no one seems to be able to make Il
cigar as we'll as native Cuban. But
now many Of the leading factories OF
New York, Key West and Tampa are
owned by Spaniards who employ many
Cuban workmen, and hence there is less
difference than ever between good ci-
gar made of imported tobacco in this
country and an imported cigar; i'll fact,
the principal difference is that the Amerl-
can made article is larger and contains
more high grade tobacco.

Organization of the AsheViIIe
Branch Last Evening.
The first meeting of the Young Mems
Christian Association of Asheville was
held last evening for the purpose of or
ganization in the Central Methodist
church.
Fifty active members were enrolled,
and the meeting organized by the ap-
pointment of 7. w. Patton as tempo
rary chairman, and J. c. Martin tempo
rary secretary.
Mr.. Hans B. Andersen, the resident
secretary, made an interesting explana-
tion of the methods and purposes of the
association, which has effected so much
good throughout America, and by re-
quest read brief constitution such as is
generally adopted for its guidance and
control. After discussion this was
adopted with slight change, as the con
stitution for this association.
On motion of Prof. p. p. ClaXton a
committee of FIVE, to-wIt: Messrs +. F.
Eagan, T. NJ. Kimberly, 7. J, Revel, Lu,
cius Alexander and J. c. Martin were ap,
pointed to nominate a board of fifteen

this committee the meeting adjourned
until this friday evening, at which
time the report will be received and acted
on.
One of THE CITIZEN staff yesterday
inspected the proposed rooms Of the as,
socation on Patton avenue, and decided
that selection had been made most ad
mirable, both as regards location and
internal arrangement. The apartments
are rapidly approaching completion, anG
comprise parlors, reception rooms, gym
nasium, bath rooms and libraries, for
most of which furniture of substantial
character has already been ordered. Ii
short, everything indicates that a sue
cessful, because thoroughly equipped
branch of the association has been estab
lished, and THE CITIZEN wishes it &
hearty Godspeed in its good work.

ALuckY Find.

PHILADELPHIA, October 10.-A day la
borer by the name of Devault made a
lucky find last Saturday. He was helping
to grade Lincoln Park, just below Red
Bank, N. j., when his shovel suddenly
threw up stack of bank notes to the
amount of $4,000. All the notes had
been issued by the Concord Bank, of New
Hampshire, many years ago, and along
side of them were unearthed sixteen plates
that had evidently also been the bank S
property. 1t is believed the money was
buried by man named Sherman, who
lived in that neighborhood some years
ago aud was famous as bank robber.
He was drowned through a steamboat
collision about twenty-five years ago.
Lincoln Park has recently been purchased
by Robert S. Patterson and other Phila-
delphians, who constitute the Lincoln
Park Association, and it is said that they
will claim the money as their own.
