TURNED THE HOSE ON HIMSELF.
Why Carload of People on the Pleasant
Valley Road Were Happy.

Last evening the passengers on car No. 112
of the Pleasant Valley line were treated to
an unexpected and unpleasant bath. The
car was standing near the corner of Ander-

fant, sitting on the pavement nearby, seized
the nozzle of a garden hose which was lying
beside it, and from which stream of water
was flowing, and turned it on the car.
There was a lively scramble among the
passengers as they tried to get out of the
range, but the kid understood his business,
and swept the car from end to end. Just as
the car got in motion again the child turned
the hose on itself, and tried to look down the
nozzle This pleased the passengers i'm
mensely, but the baby didn't seem to like it,
and set up howl when he got his mouth
full of water.

IMPORTATIONs ARE LESS.
More Domestic Cigars Are Consumed Now
adays Because of the Higher Dutv

adays Because OF the Higher Duty.

Manufacturing Company, of Philadelphia,
was at the Seventh avenue yesterday. He
says that the duty on cigars has had the
effect of reducing importations by fully one

Key West brands. These are cheaper than
the Cuban cigars, but of course are deficient
in the pungent flavor so noticeable in the
latter.

BIG DEMAND FOR LEATHER.
Dealers Say They Can Scarcely Supply the

Uealers say They UaIl scarcely supply inc
Demand.

and the people of the West at present seem
to think so. One of the leading tanners of
this city said yesterday that it was scarcely
possible to supply the occidental demand.

a reason but he had noticed in the past that
a large demand for leather was premonitory
of brisk business, and much more reliable
than weather predictions, even when the
Government bureau and the prophets
agreed IN their forecasts.
The public will be willing to accept the
result, whether it is able to find the solution
or not
