Tobacco has always been, and pro-
badly ever will be, the most important
product of the Philippines, as far as the
government is concerned. The old
laws compelled the Indian to raise il
in certain regions, where the neces-
saries of life are obtained with
difficulty, to the exclusion of his own
crops, and under severe penalties.
After January, 1888. the cultivation,
sale, and manufacture OF tobacco were
made free. This freedom stimulate:
production and secures finer quality, n:
each planter raises the best he can. and
waits for fair price. Better cigar:
are made. but ut n higher rate. The
work of the factories is done by in

material has been unprecedented and

MIRAGE IN OHIO.
The lima ge ola City on "a background OF
Cloudless Sky.

A remarkable instance Of the atmos-
pheric effect known rs mirage was wit
messed in Ashland Ohio recently. 1t
appeared about O'Clock in the after
noon, in the western heavens, and was
a clear and well-detined picture of a
CITY, with all its buildings so distinctly
visible that their different styles could
be easily distinguished. Owing to the
great distance of the objects thus re-
Elected, however, the steeples of the
churches and the walls OF the houses
were slightly inclined. The image was,
of course, inverted, but was life sized,
for the reflection enormously magnitied
the picture, though leaving it exquisite
ly sharp, thus causing it to present a
remarkably realistic appearance of a
large and populous city suspended in
the air, or falling through it, for an
amazing feature of the phenomena was
that, while the city itself was so clear
ly defined. there was no reflection
whatever Of the ground on which it
stood.
Though at an angle of forty-live de-
grees g.: the arc of the heavens, the
phantom appeared TO be only a few
hundred yards above the earth. and the
ignorant portion of our population be-
came much frightened at its close prox-
unity and suffered frequent panics at
rs many alarms raised that the city in
the air was gradually approaching and
would fall upon them. 1t continued,
however, ut uniform height and dist
ance and was visible for nearly three
quarters of an hour. during which time
the entire population of the town re-
manned out Of doors to watch the beau
tiful and curious spectacle. The day
was clear and calm with cloudless
sky, against which the phantom city
seemed like watercolor drawing. The
air began at last to grow hazy and the
mirage faded gradually like u rainbow
melting into the surrounding atmos-
phere, or as bright image in a mirror
is obscured by being breathed upon
softly.
Many claim that the city reflected
was Mansfield, thirty miles distant, and
profess to have recognized some of its
buildings. while others are equally
positive that it was Sandusky, which is
sixty-iive miles away. and also have
identified portions of it, but owing to
the inversion it is difficult to say which
was the city reflected. The more
superstitious declare that twas vision
OF the New Jerusalem sent as rebuke
to the sinful and to cheer the saints,
signifying the approaching dissolution
of the earth

The lucky Winners.

At the last drawing of the louisiana
State Lottery there were two citizens
of Galveston who were fortunate
enough to win very handsome slices
of one of the capital prizes, their
tickets being fractional parts OF ticket
No. 90,207 which won 100000, the
two winners securing as their share of
this amount $1,000 each. One was
Oscar VIM. Ekelund, cabinet maker
who resides at No. 159 Twenty-seventh
street, between Market and Postofice,
the other Goe. Weiss, deliverer for
Fox's bakery. Mr.. Ekelund being a
former citizen of New Orleans grew
up under the influence of the Louis
ana State Lottery and for four or five
years he invested regularly in the
drawings there, and during the past
eight years in Galveston he has dallied
with the tickle goddess regularly once
a month, winning during that time
sufficient approximations to whet his
appetite. He believed in the old
maxim about "faint heart" ETC., and
continued until finally rewarded, and
though he is now more than compen-
stated for all his investment he says
he intends to continue it as the most
profitable he has ever engaged in.
Mr.. George Weiss, the winner of the
other $4,000, was winner against his
faith. He says he never had faith in
lotteries of any kind, and that the
ticket he bought and won for him,
$1,000 was forced upon him.
Thus while some men are born lucky,
others have luck thrust upon them.
He bought the ticket the Gay before
the drawing, and the next day found
that he had won $4,000, his surprise
can better be imagined than des-
cribed. 1t was the third ticket he had
ever purchased, but he says that in
the future if any month passes with
his buying ticket it will be because
he has not got the dollar to buy it
