Ingredients Of q Cigarette.
ALBANY Argus. ]

Prof. J. NJ. Latin, the athlete and
trainer, said to a reporter: "Think for
a moment. There are five ingredients
in every cigarette, each one OF which
is calculated to destroy human life.
First, there is the nicotine or Gil OF to-
bacco; next, the oil of the imported
paper, which is nearly as destructive;
third the arsenic introduced to make
the paper burn white and add pecu-
liar flavor; fourth, the saltpeter put IN
the tobacco to prevent it from n1olding;
and finally the opium that is sprayed
on the tobacco to give it the insidious
influence which it possesses over the
brain. Can you wonder that the ami
NAL life of man is killed by such mix
ture? In the cigar or pipe we have but
one Observation-Disclosures it is not in
haled."

you'e got erysipelas.' A look Of dis
gust came into the mans face. L
thought you were fool,' he said, and
now I know it. That's yaller-jacket
sting.'"
The story loses its charm in the repe-
tition. It takes Mr.. Ham Of Georgia
to tell it, and when you hear him the
droll accent Of the South, the magnetic
smile that shines all over his face, and
the twinkle in his eyes will make you
laugh heartily. Picture a smooth
shaven face, blue eyes, a full chin, and
wide mobile lips, that twitch iu a hui
morous fashion, and you have fair
idea how Mr.. Ham looks. He is a
young man, not yet 40, and although
be has never before this campaign fig
ured in national politics he is well
coined everywhere as speaker, for the
reason tina: everything be hears re-
minds him of story.
He was at the Continental Hotel yes
terday, registered as H. W. Ham,

town or city did he come, but from the
whole State. A reporter called to have
a chat with him.

Georgia said, 1--WE been newspaper

The Third party slate was not broken
The closing session Of the convention
was held tonight. when the newly
elected officers were installed in the
presence of but one-half Of the dele
gates. The others, disguised at the
result, remained away from the hall
A number of those delegates insist that
as soon as they return home and an
nounce the result to their State Alli-
ance, a withdrawal from the National
body will take place and new order
will be formed.
Loucks' opponents held a meeting
and issued a manifesto against the
methods of the Third party men accus-
ing them of an attempt to disrupt the
order. Parks, of Texas, took the docu.
ment to the convention hall at
O'Clock and read it to the delegates.
Later a number of friends Of Ma

cussed further operations. Among
them were John H. Mcdowell, Cover

Buchanan's representative, was a con-
spicuous figure. President Loucks was
in the chair, and at the morning ses-
sion nothing but the usual addresses of
welcome and responses were delivered.
In the afternoon and tonight execu-
tive sessions we,e held, from which
reporters were excluded. There is a
bitter feeling over the election of Off

Mr.. Loucks and DR.. McCune are can

a very warm factlonal fight on.
TWO FACTIONS AT WORK.
MEMPHIS, Nov. l6.-The situation
among the Alliancemen as to who will
be their president is becoming more
complicated and the fight between the
two factions is getting more fierce as
the time for election approaches. The
scoring that President Loucks gave
the Democrats on account Of the
alleged robbing of Kolb of the Cover
norship of Alabama strengthened the
opposition to him on the part of GER
tain Southern delegates and made him
a prime favorite with those who favor
throwing the Alliance as oody lnto
the Third party. Those opposing these
radical views of Loucks and John II.
Mcdowell of this State held a caucus
and decided to support Macune of
Washington:
Loucks election means that the
Third party will capture the Alliance.
III this event there will DE combina-
ton made by Texas and the Eastern
delegates, and the result will probably
be the disintegration of the order. On

In former conventions a delegate
from a State, if others were present,
was permitted to cast the entire vote
Of the State. The chair ruled that
delegate was entitled to only one vote.
The ruling was appealed from bat two
thirds did not vote to reverse his ruling.
A motion to adjourn was made and

scene ensued and a pandemonium
reigned until midnight and at that
hour there was no prospect of a solu-

e- ALLIANCE. ,s.--.--~
MEMPHIS, Nov. 1S.-The knot in the
! farmers Alliance eliminated in q bolt
this morning, and those opposed to the
Peoples party captured the body, held
a caucus, and concluded to form a new
association embodying the doctrines Of
the Alliance, but holding aloof from
politics. The Taubeneck crowd having
captured the conference, many of the
delegates refused to attend the execu-
tive session. At 9 O'Clock they got to-
gether and affected temporary organ
ization, and began to shape matters for
the issuance of a manifesto.
The correspondent of the United
Press found Mr.. Macune in his room,
and that gentleman made the follow
| ing statement: II withdrew from the
convention hall because the national
committee of Peoples party have come
here and are attempting to secure con-
troll of the Alliance. They have used
foul means, and have gone so far as to
make up slate of State officers. Con-
sidering that these men were in control
Of the convention, and had determined
to carry out their measures, contrary to
the Alliance traditions and principles, I
withdrew from the hall, and shall re-
main out as long as such methods are
being used to divert the purpose Of the
Alliance. The delegates who left the
hall felt the same as did about the
matter"

may be able to prevent the election of

right to send out Democratic literature
as other officers had to preach Third
party doctrine.
The committee on constitution and
bylaws reported. Several changes
were made. The salaries of all officers
are scaled down. The president will
henceforth receive $1,000 a year and
expenses instead of 1000. The secre'
tary's salaries was reduced from S2,00(
to 81 ,5OU. The National Lecturer will
receive 81 day and expenses instead
of $1,000 a year. Members of the ex'
ecutive committee will receive 81 a day
instead ofS5.
In the future the executive commit
tee will be composed of five members
The president is one of the members
and the other four will be elected annu
ally to serve only one year.
The constitution was also amended
80 that members of the order can bt
taken from cities and towns of 5000
Inhabitants or less.
Memorial services were held tonight
in honor of Hon. L. L. Polk, formerly
president. The election of officers will
probably take place tomorrow.

THE ALLIANCES WISHES.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, November H.
The National Farmers Alliance and
industrial Union has been in executive
session all day. No material changes
were made in the constitution and by.
laws. The time of the annual meeting
has been changed from November to
February. This, together with the
abolition Of the lecture and the literary
bureau, which was presided over by
John F. Tillman, and the reduction Of
salaries of all officers, were the princi.
pal changes.
The subject of dealing in futures is
treated by the committee on good Of
the order as follows: -.
"We think the body should by reso-
luton condemn the gambling in fu.
lures upon products of labor and also
all species of bribery and corruption al
the ballot box and elsewhere.''
!. All during to-day efforts have been
made by the more conservative mem
bers of the organization to concentrate
their vote for the president on some
compromise candidate. The feeling
that has been aroused between the
friends Of Loucks and Macune is moi
regarded by any true Allianeeman as
beneficial to the, order. . -..-.--

party men.
At $50 o'clock President Loucks
called the Farmers Alliance convention

Additional details oflast nights Sc

peace. He was pulled away.
