best substitute for it that have seen

This opinion, which comes from Pres
ident Crawford as the result OF his in
quiry made in the interest OF the tobac-
co trade at large and justified by over
80 years of very wide experience. is suf-
ficiently reliable and complimentary
to give an incentive to larger plant
ing IN this state, IL no other
testimony were available, and ought to
set at rest the slightest question OF q
market for our leaf when properly cur
ed. California tobacco, when grown
from Havana seed, seems to preserve
all its original characteristics as produc-
ed on the island Of Cuba, and while to
insure large and permanent profits In the
business it is unnecessary to reach the
highest standard of excellence. it is not
too much to say that We can more near
ly reproduce the Cuban product than
any other section yet discovered out
side the island itself.
The consumption of tobacco is in
or creasing more rapidly than it's product
ion. and can be still further accelerated
by substituting California leaf grown
from Havana seed for the imported va
rieties at prices that will ct once yield q
handsome profit to the industry and
greatly cheaper the cost to the present
consumer of the heavily dutied foreign
product.
According to a universal commercial
law, manufacturing must always develop
where the raw material is produced.
conditions being equal, and no reason
can be found why California should not
successfully manufacture large per-
centage OF Its future products, as do
other states Of the union.
When the leaf is here In sufficient
quantity manufacturers will speedily
make overtures for its purchase, and,
fornia has over the east at every stage Of
of crops, the liberal yield, the small ex-
pense Of cultivation the absence of
natural enemies to the plant, and the
ease with which it can be pre-
pared for market, there can be no
question as to the attractiveness Of our
state for both growers and purchasers of
the leaf California should produce an
nually from 50,000,000 to 100, 0,000, 900
pounds of cured leaf, which would rep

Entra pped by n Look,

The eye of criminal is frightful
thing, frequently mesmeric in its effects,
and planting itself in the memory like
the glance OF snake from a poisonous
tropc jungle. Once beheld, it can rare
ly be forgotten, except by some special
mercy that dips us deep in Lothe. No
one would wish to remember that kind
of eye or look, but my father once
gained case by his sudden recollection
OF it. A witness very damaging to his
client had testified that ON certain day
two years before. he was present at a
certain interview. The keenest cross
examination failed to shake him, and as
nv fathers face took on vexed express
sion, triumphant smile of conceited
cunning stole out of the beady black
eyes of the witness. Where had my
father seen that peculiar look before?
Suddenly it flashed across him. "Were
you ever in Charleston Jail?" he asked
impulsively. The witness began to
stammer out denial "Were you not
in Charlestown Jail?" now thundered
the lawyer, ION the very day you have
sworn you were present elsewhere ?"
The witness wilted. 1t was true, and
the man had been committing perjury.

Origin of the Actors Fund.

In reference to the question raised by
the death of Lucille Adams, as to the
founding of the Actors Fund, it may
not be generally known that the first
benefit in aid of the Fund was given by
M. B. Curtis, who was, at the time,
playing Sam'l of Posen at the Four
teenth-Street Theatre in New York, OF
which j. II. Haverly was proprietor
and Harry Mann was manager. Mr..
Curtis was then one of the most popular
American stars, and in addition to his
estimable wife in their original roles the
cast included John M. Burke (now
manager for Buffalo BilD, Edgar L.
Davenport, Harry Dalton, Chas. Rosene.
James w. Mack, J. X. Hines, Harry
Parker, Charles Hamilton, Ada Boshell,
Emily Biglow and Fanny Denham
Rouse. The benefit took place on Mon
day afternoon, March 18th, 1883. and
was the means OF Introducing a series OF
benefits for the Fund, which at that
time was IN it's infancy and has now be-
come rich and powerful institution.

AT THE OLD TRUSTING PLACE.

The dead leaves rustic at my feet,
The moon is shining brightly;
Something has softly dimmed my eyes.
Across the path one shadow lies.
The path two trod so lightly.
1t was upon a night like this
Love left us only sorrows;
I held her little hand in mine;
That parting is to me divine.
Then there was no tomorrow.
Since have learned life's lesson well
Hearts are not easy broken.
Tonight all joys have forgot;
There's something sacred in this spot,
Where sweet goodbys were spoken.
I'd feel less lonely with myself
If l were broken hearted;
Would could live that night again,
With all its sadness-sweetened pain,
When love from love was partedl
