distance records, his fourteen minutes
% 3-5 seconds for three miles being
probably his best performance. What
was undoubtedly the most sensa-
tional performances in tho annals OF
sport since w. q. Georges great mile in 4
minutes IL 2-5 seconds. was Kbblcwhite's
win at the games OF the Flnchcy Harriers
on Aug. II. 1889. He had won the scratch
mile run in fast time and camc out for the
handicap mile run. He was. OF course, on
the mark OF honor, and stretched out in
front OF him on tho narrow quarter mile
path 100 runners with various long starts.
Ii seemed incredible that the scratch man
could work his way through this strug-
Cling mass, and everybody was astonished
to see Kibblewhite come out OF the ruck in
the stretch and win in the astonishing
time OF minutes % 3-5 seconds. He must
have run considerably over a mile, being
on the outside OF his men, and when It ls
considered that he must have been inter-
fered with a dozen times or more the per-
tormance becomes wonderful.

BUCK DUKE.
Remarkable Ability in the Conduct of a
Gaeat Corporations Affairs.

The United States Tobacco Journal
says: Access to the officers of the Amer
lean Tobacco company is not easy, but
one is permitted to admire the ability
with which the affairs of that gigantic
corporation are conducted. To bring in
little bit of Latin, which even those
who like Shakespeare, know but trifie
of that extinct tongue, will understand,
the company is great on the ''suaviter in
modo, fortiter in re" policy. 1t is the
suaTest business corporation in the
world, while on the other side of the
comma, which divides the famous clas-
sical quotation, it is in nothing lacking.
Outside of the L. S. Tobacco Journal,
and the state department at Washington,
no business enterprise in the United
States has more brains behind it than the
corporation over which Mr.. James B.
Duke presides. This is not said in a
spirit of persifage, but is a sober tribute
to an institution which deserves the
highest respect.
The foregoing remarks are apropos of
the latest innovation which the Ameri-
can Tobacco company has set on foot.
| BY circular the company notified its Gus
toners that on and after October 1, 1891
the price Of cigarettes would be 81 per
thousand, instead Of 1886 as hitherto.
In addition to the regular discount of
| per cent. for cash it would allow to the
| jubber or wholesaler in New York and
vicinity rebate of 80 cents per thou
sand, and to the retailer a rebate of 80
cents per thousand. Prior to October
1, the rebate had been 10 cents and 20
cents to the jobber. On the face of the
circular cigarettes advanced Is cents per
thousand, in fact they declined 80 cents
By the same circular, which is now be-
ing described, jobbers are notified that
weekly statement will be required from
them of their sales to retailers. A job
Der selling, say 900 cigarettes, to a re-
taller gives the retailer a certificate tC
that effect. This certificate is redeema
| Ole at the end or every SIX months at the
offices of the American Tobacco com.
pany, at the rate of so cents for every
| thousand cigarettes purchased by the re.
taller. So that the American Tobacco
company becomes virtually savings
bank for the retailer, and the amount
that he may withdraw from that savings
bank is limited only by the quantity
of his purchases from the jobber OF
wholesaler while the company enjoys
the use of the retailers money for six
months without cost It is brilliant
business scheme, it is original with the
American Tobacco company, and il
shows that the company's affairs aee
conducted with remarkable business
ability.
