Early Sales Of Tobacco

The Maryland tobacco crop that will
come to market tlis year Is estimated al
about 25, 900 hogsheads This is nearly dou.
bic the crop Of 1890, but is still 1000 OF
5000 hogsbeads behind what is regarded as
an average Maryland crop. These figures are
given by the careful observers Of the trade 10
Baltimore, but the farmers DO not give an es-
innate Of more than %, 600 hogsheads. There
still exists among
plant large crops Of tobacco owing to the
small prices that have prevailed for the past
several years, which, they claim, have not
been sufficient to enable them to meet the ex-
peuse Of growing It is generally conceded
that prices will rule higher this year, and that
for a superior article fancy hgures may be ex-
pected Much Of the crop has already been
shipped. This movement is unusual as being
50 early in the year. The tobacco it is said,
was needed 10 Eli out contracts or orders
taken last year, which could not be filled on
account Of the short crop What has already
been sold shows the advance in price for the
better grades, but the inferior stock still
ranges at from two TO four cents pound
An observant tobacco planter from Charles
county, speaking Of this years crop, said =
ut was generally coceded la5t fall that in
Prince Georges aud Calvert counties there
was short crop, and that what was raised
was inferior in quality. This was especially
true Of Prince Georges tobacco. In St.
Marys and Charles the crop planted was a
small one. The season was favorable, how
ever. and the tobacco made an exceptionally
fine growth. Excessive rains about the time
il was harvested and afterward injured ii both
in the field and in the barn, much Of it be-
coming house-burned The effect Of house
lurninQ is TO cover the leaves with dark
spots which give the goods bad look. In
Charles county there is very little pretty sec
ond' tobacco, but the crop is generally OF
fine quality. | believe the same condition
exists il the other counties. There is more
tobacco being sold earlier than ever knew be
fore. Nearly every crop in my immediate
nei. hboraooi is already sold or will be by
Nav lst. This is very unusual, and unless
the buyers handleit carefully much Of it must
necessarily become injured in transportation. "

Accident.


As Mrs Mary c. Chapman and daughter
were on their way church on East5rr SG1i-
day, when a short distance from their home,
the coupling pin of their dayton broke, and
the driver who was in the front seat was
thrown violently out on his face and consid-
erably cut and bruised about the face. The
iatiies who oecspied the back seat escaped
without any injury. Git pays sometimes to
occupy "a back seat The horses having
only the wheels and tongue attached to them
after the breaking of the coupling pin, stop
ped as soon as spoken to by the driver and
thus by his GOODNESS, aud their good behavior,
a very serious accident was averted.

the Jesuit Society, and became noted tor his
great executive ability. During his pastotate
here he was much beloved and admired by
all who knew hun AT the time Of his death
he was pastor of holy Trinity Church in

Strange Revolution in WOmen's
Dress-WiiI American Ladies Dare
Ad0nt IT,

Some predict that the great change in the
fashioniny of the clothes which are to be worn
by women this coming season is the most won
derful victory of the nineteenth century-if
fashion leaders can be induced to adopt it,
and appear just once in public so arrayed.
Men will hold their breath in wonder at the
marvellous change it makes in lovely woman.
Few of the fair sex can help being beautiful
in these glove fitting costumes, says writer
m a recent number Of The New York and
Paris Young Ladies Fashion Bazaar. This
magazine is the only one in Europe or Amer
lea which makes a specially of giving those
inclined TO stoutness an unrivaed appearance
of sculptured slimness," said her Royal High
ness the Princess of Wales. Madame Patti
has ordered from the Paris house four mag
niRcent costumes, the designs of which appear
in the April number of this Fashion Bazaar
and in this magazine only.
Mrs. Harrison is greatly fascinated with the
exquisite gem, costume No. !, in the April
number. It is expected she will give an order
for an exact counterpart Of it, the whole front
of which will be incrusted with pin head dia-
monds. This gown alone will be worth a
kings ransom.
