And a Bay Street Man Bought 500
Mean Cigars to Help Him out.
The old cigar gag has been worked in
Savannah again, and several well-known
lovers of the weed are out Of pocket,
though each has in his possession a box
or two Of the smokers, which would be
scorned by a country justice of the peace.
The clever individual who has sold these
poor cigars for a fair price appears to
be a Cuban. His complexion is dark, his
shoulders rather bent, and he wears
small black mustache. When he comes
around to make a deal he usually slips
or sneaKs into a mans office, as II he
thought the revenue agents were after
him, apparently trying 10 create the I'M

around from II several cigars that proved
to be ffrst-class. Then the question OF
price came up He made IL unders TODD
that he was anxious TO SELL and the
price would be low. He was paid IS for
a box of 100. and then Insisted that lie
wanted to sell out the other 400 and sell
them cheap so that he could start fo-
Cuba at once and put a Few bullets n
what he thought were the enemies Of his
country. His patriotism appears to have
done the work, and he was offered so for
the balance. A compromise on $l2 was
finally reached and the gentleman in que s.
ton took the lot Half an hour later as
he went out of his office he saw the same
identical Cuban who wanted to sell oil
the cigars he had and get back to Cuba
with another lot of cigars, apparently
looking about to see where he could find
another victim. He had not, however, al
that time gone deep enough into the box
to discover what an elephant he had on
his hands. or he might have said some
thing uncomplimentary to the Cuban 5
cigars.
This is only one of a dozen or more in
stances that have been heard in the last
two or three days. and the same indi-
Vidual is described as the salesman in
each case. He has been getting all the
way from 50 to s. and higher, per 100 FOR
cigars that would scarcely bring $50 a
thousand. But this is not the first time
Savannahians have been taken in by get

of the bunch.

TO DIVIDE THE COMMITTEES.
The Programme for the Chicagoans
Well in Hand.

Chairman William Garrard of the gem
eral committee which has in
charge the matter of the entertainment
of the Chicago eXcursiOnists will prob
ably appoint his executive committee this
morning, and will besides add others to
the general committee, which will have
TO be extensively divided into sub-coul-
mittees in order to look after all the va
rious features in hand.
1t is likely that this executive committee
will hold a meeting and get 10 work to-
day. Many Of those who are members
of the committee did not foresee the i'm
mense amount of work in hand in making
arrangements for the reception and care Of
so large a party.
The matter, however, is being taken
thoroughly in hand and the Chicagoans

STILL DICKERING ON BARRELS.
The Manufacturers Differences Most
Iy Among Themselves.


ly Among Themselves.
There appears to be more trouble among
the barrel manufacturers themselves than
with the board of trade, and the manu-
facturers. The recent conference of the
inspection committee with the manufac-
tuiers did not alter the situation in any
degree.
1t is understood that there was no spe-
cial complaint against the manufacturers,
but simply q request made that barrels in
future be made to measure within a range
of As to 50 gallons.
If the board of trade adopts the rule
suggested by the inspection committee
the manufacturers will have nothing to
do but TO comply and change their ma
chinery to fit the requirements of the
trade.
1t is already rumored that the existing
combination of barrel manufacturers has
been dissolved and that the trade will soon
fan back in the old line in which each man
ufacturer will seek to sell barrels at a
competing rate. 1t is safe to predict that
they will soon be sold at a reduction on
present prices

WEST NEWTON, Mass, June 26 -
Threatening skies affected the attend

tournament this forenoon, and there was
but a small crowd at the court.
The match OF the morning was between
Hovey and Chace, the latter winning
easily 6-2, 2-6, and 6-2.
Hovey showed good form only in the
second set, when he rallied and did some
very clever work. During the rest of the
match, however, he was continually
smashing into the net, and Chace easily
outplayed him.
