Cigarette smoking is on the decline
in Germany and on the increase in
France, which is the more strange, as
French cigarettes are notoriously
poor.
No country is worse of for its to-
bacco Cross the frontier to the
south and you fare well in Spain, cross
it to the southeast and the trabucos
and the menghettis are relief; even
in Germany the homegrown leaf is at
least tolerable. But the French
cigars are bad and the French Gig
arettes are not better.
In one of the Paris factories they
turn them out at the rate Of 1, 500, 600
a day. When a factory girl has made
her regulation pile 5000 cigarettes
have passed through her fingers. The
phrase is scarcelv accurate, for. Of
course, it is the familiar little cylin-
der machine that is used; it is only
in Spain that the cigarette is still
handmade.
The French factory girl is fairly
we'll paid, though there was q threat
ened strike few day ago. She gets
four shillings day and the work Is
not hard. There was some talk about
it not being healthy, says the Pail
Mall Budget The government sent
a commission to report. The I'M
healthfuiness was said to be due to
the powdered tobacco. the dust that
got into the lungs 1t seems that
this was not true. and the making OF
cigarettes is said to be much more
wholesome than the smoking of them.

Is Under Way
TO INDUCE HIM TO RETURN
To His Native Land-A Threat Made TO
Build Another Wall to Shut Out
Our Commerce.

PHrLADKLrnIA, May sit is said that
movement has been insugurA.ed to
cause the return Of eli the Chinese in
the United States TO China, in conse-
quence OF the exclusion bill. This
week . conference OF the Chinese of
Pennsylvania, Maryland. and several
Of the neighbering states, WAS held In
this city. ..'hs main subjects discussed
we're tho articles published in the Mung
Gee, the Chinese weekly published in
Ban Francisco, in which are detailed
the public meetings which have been
held IN China, particular attention being
called to the one addressed by the en-
persr himself. The article concludes
- follows: sour country has ut las.
awakened 20 the fact that their chill
dren and their paternal and ancestral
gods have been unduly imposed upon.
Why dess not our motherland do like
wise to the unbelieving American race?
But the time 10 coming when our rights
must be respected. The father has as
serted his willingness to listen to the
appeal Of his children, and when We
have oil done our duty pro oerly the
edict will 60 forth prohibiting rela-
tions of any kind between CHINA and
the United States. American capital
will be drawn from our native lands,
American ships will not be allowed 70
land in our port, and, in fact, we will
erect another wall III = commercial
sense, but there are provisions which
must be abided by. II We ask our
home government TO enforce these re-
strictions it is made imperative upon
every Chinese to return to his native
heath. Ii anyone has net means proper
transportation will be provided for
him, and be it we'll understood by oil,
IN case this action is taken by our gov
ernment and We acquiesce in all Its
provlsions, that he who disregsrds the
order to leave the country eliminates
himself in the eyes of the all-seeing
ministry and will, in case he treads the
fiowery walks later in life, do 90 at the
risk Of losing his head.

IVES is NEVER NERVOUS.
He VIII Play the Great Game With
Slosson Perfectly Cool.


Frank c. Ives, the expert billiardist,
is making q brief visit to his mother.
who resides in this city. His recent
victory over Shsefer, the wizard. has
made him famous wherever the worries
are played, and the prestige of that
one game will, II sensibly needed. lead
him on to fortune. Ives is only 22
years of age, and his accomplishments
as a bilIiardist certainly shows that he
has inherited genius for that sport
some call it science, for geometrical
principles are involved. Ives was
asked in the Norton last evening re-
garding his forthcoming match with
Slosson, which will ahortiy be played
in Chicago.
"Well, I expect to win; it wall be of
incalculablc advantage and benefit to
me if can defeat SlOsson."
In reply to o hint TO be cool and not
get ratified, Ives remarked: "Oh, l was
never ratified or nervous in o game of
billiards yet"
One thing is certain, Ives has plenty
of self-assurance and confidence, and
these qualities. coupled with skill and
application, makes him tho most formi-
dable bllliardist in the country today.
II he defeats Slcsson he will bs king of
the cue in America.

WAsHIsGros. May s.--Gesrge c. Cor
ham, who 10 engaged IN editing the
letters aud papers of the late Secretary
stanton. and writing life OF that dis
tinguished official, has written an open
letter to Murat Halstead IN answer TO
the one which Halstead wrote TO the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, April
%. devoted 10 defense OF the terms
agreed on between General sherman
and the Rebel Gen. Joe Johnston. IN
April, S65 and which was bfonghtoutb by
letter recently addressed by Gorham
to Senator Sherman on the saEle subject.
In his letter Halstead said: The
truth Is Mr.. Stanton Was wrong; also
excited out OF reason. His paper on
the subject of Johnston's surrender
shows that his mind was then more IN
famed than that OF Senator Sher-
mans" And again: stanton was
impcrious and alarmed and re-
vengeful." Whereupon Mr.. Gorhsln
reproduces various criticisms made by
Halstead upon public men and officers
IN the war to show that ms Judgments
of men are not always infalIibie.
Forever you have been known
TO set aside that calm, judicial
frame OF mind in which yeu now
censure Stanton for differing with Gen
eral sherman" The editorials in the
Cincinnati Commercial of April 24-2s,
1865, upon the Sherman-J ohnston terms
of surrender are quoted. In them Mr..
Halstead said: THAT he (Saermxn) J
committed \ mistake IN his peace
negotiations is clear enough. He ought
to have destroyed Johnstsn's army or
have forced its surrender on terms
similar TO those granted Lee" Hal
