TARIFF ON CIGARS.

1t Has Greatly Benefited the Manufact-
urers of American Tobacco.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.]
"The cigar trade has been affected
curiously by the Mckinley bill" said H. A.
Richey, OF New York, who, with A. Cruz, one
of the largest cigar manufacturers of Key
West registered at the Wellington yester-
day. "The price Of imported cigars has in
creased, but not SO much as was expected,
owing to the fact that the Cuban manufact-
urers, in order to counterbalance in
measure the effect of the increased tariff,
made q material reduction in the
price of their cigars. The tariff
has completely shut out all the inferior
brands of Havana cigars, and herein Is
where the American weed is benefited. OF
course we can't make as good cigar as is
made in Havana and American cigar manu-
facturers are now able to supply, without
foreign competition, the demand Tor the
cheaper grades of goods.
sThe duty on foreign manufactured cigsrs
was always greater in proportion than the
ad valorem duty on imported tobacco, and
for this reason, Notwithstanding the fact
that the Mckinley bill raised the duty on
imported wrappers from 35 cents to 50 per
pound, q better cigar made from Cuban to-
than before the increased tariff. The sale of
fine imported cigars has not been materially
reduced, for the reason that a man who can
afford to pay 25 cents for a favorite cigar
will have no objection TO paying an ad-
ditional or 10 cents for the smoke. The
protection to American cigarmakers, or
cigarmakers who while foreign born live in
this country In attaining this result the
new tariff has succeeded admirably"

DANGERS OF MOUNT ST. ELIAS

Grizzlies Are No More to Be Feared Than
Pigs, but Ice Is Treacherous.
There are plenty of grizzly bears in the
vicinity of Mount st. Elias, but Prof. Rus
sell, who has just returned from there, did
not find them very dangerous. He says
that his encounters with them reminded
him of killing pigs. Of brown and black
bears he saw and shot a great many. The
expedition met with enough perils, how
ever, to satisfy the most adventurous geo.

ice and snow by cutting steps. AT almost
any time slip would have precipitated the

lanche had carried away the steps which
they had made in going up The impromptu
staircase was destroyed for 300 feet, and
they had to lower man by rope to chop
out another, there being no other way of
getting down.
One night about II o'clock the party was

The Vessel Long Given Up as Lost but
Arrives in Port at Last.
SANFRANcIsCo, Nov. 1S-The whaling
schooner Nicotine, Captain Herndon, arrived
this morning after an absence of over two
years in the Arctic ocean. The schooner had
several times been reported as lost. Captain
Herndon says that the crew passed the
winter of 1889 at Elsom Bay. The ice
broke up July %, 1890 and pressed the
schooner out of water and upon the beach,
fortunately doing no damage. The whaling
had previously been poor, as the water was
intensely cold and the ice did not move,
consequently very few whales were seen.
August 6, 1890, after having received sup
plies and securing two white men and five
natives to assist the crew, the schooner
started eastward, and reached Herschel
Island August q. Here several
steamers and the schooner Silver
Wave were found. The Nicotine
proceeded as far as Keypoint, and, sighting
no whales, returned to Herschel Island to
winter. The homeward trip was COM
menced July 10 last. On September %
gale, lasting five days, did much damage to
the vessel. Gales and bad weather accom-
panied the schooner to within eight days of
this port,

A recent number of the Bakers Helper

the utmost vigor. The French baker is not
only required to conform to the laws re-
garding weight, but he is also told at what
price he must sell his bread. He is further
required to deposit a certain sum of money
in the hands of the municipal authorities as
surety of good behavior. In the large
fortified cities he has to keep a specified
quantity of flour on hand to provide for war
like emergencies.
In Germany laws of similar import are in
existence, and are enforced with such Sc
verify that no baker ever dreams of defying
them. The British law regulates the weight
of loaves and makes provision for the clean
illness and ventilation of the bakeshops.
The price is left to regulate itself by trade
competition. The Ontario act empowers mu-
inequalities to engage officers for the pre-
vention of fraud, and clothes them with au-
thority to confscate all bread found to be of
light weight. The bread seized in this way
is turned over to the charitable institutions
for the use of the inmates.

"About year ago." says a Brooklyn
clergyman, "a woman who had been de-
ceived by her lover by means of mock
marriage and who had discovered the
fraud, came to me with her tale of woe and
asked my advice. She was living with the
man she supposed to be her husband, but be-
lieyed that he was about to desert her.
Thought the matter over, and told her to ar
range a little party at her house and to in
vite me as a friend, but not as minister of
the gospel and at an opportune time pro-
nose to the lover that they show their
friends how they were married in fun.' She
was bright little woman, and carried out
NV instructions to the letter. The people in
the house when 1 went there knew of the ex-
listing conditions, and readily entered into

the plea that had a brother in the church.

around all right, and he and the little wom-

AN ARCHwAY OF ICE.
Unearthly Sounds Issue From It and q
River Flows Through 1t.

UnearthIy Sounds Issue From It and q
River Flows Through 1t.
In the Lucia glacier, on Mount st. Elias,
occurs a most interesting feature, in the
shape of glacial river, which comes out
from mountain through an archway of ice,
flows for mile and a half in plain view
and then is lost to sight in another tunnel.
Where the stream emerges finally is un-
known. No explorer has as yet been bold
enough to enter the tunnel and drift
through. after the fashion of Allan Quar-
termain and Umslopogaas. The greatest
risk in such an undertaking would be from
falling blocks of ice.
At the mouth of the tunnel there are al
ways confused noises and rythmic vibra-
tions to be heard from the dark recesses
within. The air is filled with pulsations
like deep organ notes, and it requires but
little imagination to transform these strange
sounds into the voices and songs of the in
habitants of the neither world. 1t used to
be supposed that Mount St. Elias was a
volcano, and sea captains sailing on the Pa
cifc have often beheld what they imagined
to be smoke issuing from its summit; but
this is q mistake, and it is probable that the
alleged smoke was really avalanche dust
blown upward by the wind.
