The meeting was held with closed
doors, and each person who attended,
when approached by a reporter, RI
fused to either disclose what took place
inside or TO give any names. Enough
was learned from other sources, how
ever, to say that the combination will
put up the price Of cigars and at the
same time will reduce the profits of re-
tailers.
Each firm in the combine expressed
the conviction that this was the only
way to freeze out the multitude Of
small manufacturers, who now get a
good share Of the trade, and whose
aggressive competition keeps fair
grade Of cigars within reach Of the
smoking public. The Trust will in
clude the manufacturers of the domes-
tic article only. The makers Of Ha-
yana goods were not invited to the
conference.

Especial TO TmE wonIp.Y

Thefact that Barnum 4 Bailey's cir
Gus was coming 70 Martinsburg has beon
known in every village, hamlet and
household Of Berkeley County for the
past two weeks. The gorgeous paper
used by this monster show has been
spread on every farm fence or other
conspicuous place within radius Of
Is miles Of the city. Barnum attributes
his success to liberal and judicious adj
vertising, and Judging from the
crowd that began to flock into the city
as early as sun-rise tlhs morning, the
advertising matter scattered about by
his advance brigade must have had
the desired effect. There has not been
such crowd in the city for many a
day. They came from the north and
the south and the east and the west,
and many Of them declared that they
had been on the road one and in some
instances two days.
When the special circus trains con-
sisting Of 60 cars, divided into three
sections Of 20 cars pulled in from
Cumberland there were hundreds Of
curious people atthe depot. Many con-
slider that it is the event Of life time
to witness the arrival and unloading Of
a circus train. To some it is an oc-
currence far more interesting than q
visit to the establishment under can
vas. As they came in this morn
ing, the company, baggage equipment,
tents, seats, poles and draught horses
constituted one train the circus,
menagerie and hippodronie material
another, and the Nero spectacle equip
ments and ballet girls the third.
The rapidity with which the trains
were unloaded was wonderful. The
ponderous wagons and chariots were
taken from the cars with as much ease
as if they had been SO many baby car
riages. Then came the elephants and
the performing horses and the camels
and the fat woman and the living
skeleton and the monkeys and the
goodness knows what not.
AS early as nine o'clock the main
business, streets began to fill up with
the country girls and their beaus.
They had come to see the circus and
they wanted everybody to know it.
They munched peanuts, drank pop
and chewed gum to their hearts con-
tent, and evidently proposed to make
a day Of it, because there was no tell
ing when Barnum would be hereagain.
AT ten o'clock the streets were liter
ally packed with people walking to and
fro and anxiously waiting for the pa
rade to come along. The street car
line attracted its share Of attention
and there were hundreds that were
very much disappointed because they
could not have ride by electricity.
Some had figured on having about az
much fun out Of riding on the street
railway as seeing the circus. Long
before the time set for the performance
hundreds focked about the main tent
and side shows waiting for the mena-
gere to open up. 1t was nearly II
o'clock when the procession began to
pass through the main streets and ali
along the line there were thousands Of
Of people crowded on the side walks.

Hans Friedrich Has Strange Exper-
fence on Fall River Boat.
ISnecial to TnE WnnInl
conference

NEW York, October Oh a n 5
Friedrich Endrichkeit arrived in this
city few days ago by one Of the
Hamburg-American Packet Company's
steamers. He was on his way to visit
sister who is the wife Of a baker in
Boston. 1t was the first time Hans
had set foot on American soil and he
found everything very strange. He
set sail on the steamer Pilgrim Mon
day. evening for Fall River. His ticket
entitled him to birth 1913 on the steer
lage deck. " siA--
Hans had hearty dinner aboard
the steamer and spent the evening
with his pipe on the upper deck. About
10 o'clock he decided to turn in for the
night. In the main saloon he found
door numbered lob and supposed it
led to his sleeping apartment. He
turned the knoband entered.
The stateroom in question had been
engaged by young couple who were
returning from their wedding tour.
The husband had left his wife to retire
while he had goodnight cigar in the
open air. When Hans Endrichkeit
entered, therefore, he was somewhat
surprised to find young woman in
the lower bunk Of his apartment. She
was sleeping soundly. Her diamond
bracelet and q tiny gold watch were on
the dresser and her dress adorned the
back of chair.
'.This is a remarkable country, y
said Hans to himself, as he added his
big silver watch to the other jewelry.
II s'pose the last one in fastens the
the door, and he turned the brass key.
A few minutes later he was in the up
per bunk, sleeping as peacefully as
the young woman in the cot below.
There came rap at the>door. Hans
was snoring, but the young woman
awoke.
who's there n she inquired.
TITS me,'' replied q familiar voice
ungrammatically.
Then the bride discovered Hans
clothing and gave scream that was
heard from one end of the main saloon
to the othera Passengers poked their
heads from their staterooms and wan
dered what was the matter. The in
slant the door Of No. 1O3 was unlock
ed the frantic husband jumped in and
seized poor, inoffensive Hans. He
dragged him from his bunk, and after
pummelhng him soundly threw him
bodily into the saloon. He was about
to follow up the attack with chair
when Capt. Davis and Detective Agnew
appeared no the scene and interferred.
They hurried Hans into cover and then
sent back for his clothes. He was q
very battered, frightened passenger
who was conducted to bunk No. 1903
in the Storage.
The angry bridegroom appologized
for his violence when he learned how
Hans had made his mistake. The lat
ter still believesrthat this is a remark
able country.

Especial to Tn Womb
WASHINGTON, October 9.--Secretary
Tracy says that the 4,OOOand {, 900 ton
unprotected cruisers are of little value
as fighting ships, as they have no de-
fensive qualities, their steel sides being
as easy to penetrate by modern high
power guns as those Of the old wooden
hulks, and they are as expensive to
maintain. The Secretary viii recon-
mend the building Of half a dozen small
thousand-ton gunboats at cost not ex-
ceeding 5000, 900 each. The Secretary
is quoted as saying that where difficult
ties arise with smaller countries which
have no navies these ships would fill
every requirement, and would also be
of especial value in the small rivers Of
China.
'sWhat we need,r continued the Sec
rotary earnestly, sare three distinct
classes Of ships. First, battleships,
such as the Massachusetts,, Indiana and
Oregon viii be when completed: second,
fast commerce destroyers, like the New
York, and third, q large number Of
small, 1,000-ton vessels for police purs
poses. Our battleships can fight any
thing that floats. The vessels in the
English, French OF Italian navies that
could successfully oppose them are
comparatively few. With a dozen such
vessels, with our monitors and harbor
defenses, we could in our own waters
successfully Withstand an attack from
Great Britain herself.
