Evils and Benefits Of Tobacco.

We hear much spoken about
''the weed" and no wonder, when
it is in common use as a luxury by
preachers lawyers, professors,d dudes
and all tops, hardy farmers and
farmers wives, young men and
young women, business men and
idle boys. Should it not be spoken
of, and should we ask anybody's
pardon here when it invades our
homes, when it creeps everywhere,
into the private circle and public
travel, till it divides the human
race into but two great classes
those who smoke and those who
are smoked.
This is no small question, as few
facts will show,
The amount OF tobacco used ev-
cry year, if made into rolls two
inches in diameter, would make a
coil long enough to reach six times
around the world.
The worlds annual expenditure
for tobacco would construct two
railroads around the world at a cost
of $40, 900 per mile. '--~
This enormous sum would build
100000 churches at cost of $780,
900 each, O: one million schoo
houses at 81, 900 each. 1t woulc

WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 16.-This
morning at 6:25 fire broke out in the
boiler room of the Couchon block, used
beneath for stores and above for forty
residence suites of rooms, nearly all
occupied by families. The stairways
We're cut off by the fire, and the fire
escapes and the ladders of the fire
brigade were used. The block was
four stories high and had a frontage
of about 500 feet on Main and York
streets, opposite the HudSon'S bay
stores and offices. Several people had
to jump from the back windows to the
lower roofs. Maj Morris, deputy SER
geant-at-arms of the Manitoba legis-
lature, was suffocated, and his wife
is missing. Several children were more
or less injured by jumping into blank
cts. A number of adults were burned
and scratched. One wing of the block
was partially saved. Loss, 100000.
Three bodies have been recovered.
The first body taken out was that of
Major Morrice, one of Winnipeg's old
est and best-known residents. He was
still breathing when carried out by the
firemen, but died in a few minutes.
His wife was burned to death in her
apartments, the body not being found
until after the floors had fallen. Both
were elderly people, and parents of a
inent in social circles. The third known
victim is a medical student whose
name cannot now be ascertained.

Won GONTARD-BUSCH.
Marriage of the Daughter of ST
Louis, Wealthy Brewer.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 16.-An inter-
national event, the most notable of its
kind socially that has ever taken place
in st. Louis, was celebrated at
o'clock this evening at the Church of
the Messiah, Garrison avenue and Lo-
Gust street. 1t was the marriage of
Miss Clara Hazel Busch, daughter of
Adolphus Busch, the brewer, and Herr
Paul Won Gontard, a prominent citi-
zen of Germany. The beauty of the
bride, the wealth of her father, the
station of the groom and the magnifi-
cence of the wedding arrangements
made the affair one long to be re-
membered.
Shortly before Z o'clock the bridal
party arrived at the church in car
riages. They entered the sacred edi-
flee and proceeded up the aisle to the
strains of the wedding march from
Lohengrin The bridal procession was
headed by the ushers, Messrs. Arthur
Gempp, Rudolph Bang, Ernest Hahn
and Gustavus Kurtz; following them,
the groomsmen, Messrs. Edward Pre-
torius Jr, Edward Faust, Henry koh-
ler Jr., Charles c. Orthwein, Henry
Conrad and Fred Orthwein. Next
came two little nephews of the bride,
Masters Adolph and Edward Magnus;
Miss Lillian Busch, a sister, and Miss
Lily Schuttler, a niece. Misses Hulda
Lemp, Marie Saussenthaler, Alma
Hahn, Alice Orthwein, Fannie Conrad
and Marie Elizabeth Schneider, the
bridesmaids, followed, and after them
came Adolphus Busch, with Dorothy
Magnus and Capt. Hans Won Gontard.

best man, in full regimentalS of the
German army. Mrs. Adolphus Busch,
ON the arm of the groom, preceded the
maid of honor, Miss Anatole Busch,
and last of all came the bride, leaning
on the arm of her father. Rev. DR..
Snyder, pastor of the Church of the
Messiah, awaited the couple at the
altar, around which the bridal party
grouped themselves. AdolphuS Busch
gave away his daughter, and the cere-
mony, which was according to the
ritual of the Unitarian church, was
short The bride and groom exchanged
rings, according to the old German
custom.
The church, which was beautifully
decorated with a great quantity of
flowers and plants, was crowded to
overflowing during the ceremony.
From the church the party took car
riages for the Southern hotel, where
a magnificent supper was followed by
a reception lasting two hours, at the
conclusion of which there was
dance The entire second floor of the
hotel had been reserved for this func-
ton. For a week a corps of decorat-
i've artists have been at work on this
part of the hotel and no expense was
spared. Tomorrow the couple will
leave for a short trip to Florida re-
turning then to st. Louis. Thousands
of invitations were issued, and among
those present were many from Chica-
go, New York and elsewhere. 1t is
estimated that the wedding arrange
ments cost Mr.. Busch fully 100000.
The wedding gifts were numerous and

Later-S. A. Owens, the man who
informed Messrs. Armour and Pull
man Sunday night that the Internal
machines would be mailed to them, is
detained in Postal Inspector Stuart s
office on the suspicion that he sent the
bombs. The theory expressed by In
spector Stuart Is that Owens con-
ceived the idea of sending the bombs
and notifying the recipients in ad-
vance of the mailing of the packages,
in the hope Of obtaining good re-
ward. This belief is further strength
ened by the sirnilttude of the bad
spelling on the addresses and the
spelling in a statement furnished by
Owens in detailing the manner of his
securing the information of the send
ing of the packages. Owens denies
having sent the machines.

THE DEFENSE NOW.
The Celebrated Cumbey Assignee
Case Progressing.

After a week of sensational testi-
mony the plaintiffs in the replevin suit
of William N. Cumbey, as assignee of
Weitzner, Gutenberg & Co., against A.
S. Lovett & Co., rested their case yes
terday afternoon, and Messrs. Brook
and Hendrix, for the defense, at once
opened with fmpeaching testimony di
rected at the principal witnesses for
the other side. The plaintiff himself
was the first witness they called, and
from him they ELECTED statements as to
the amount of money paid the wit
nesses for living expenses" F. T.
Merritt, the attorney, then took the
stand and denied in toto the conversa-
ton which A. R. Priest claimed to
have had at Robert Kolliner's house
with Mr.. Hendrix. Mr.. Merritt was Sc
creted where he could hear the talk,
and claims that there was no mention
of corrupt work. This morning Mr..
Merritt will be given an opportunity to
deny some of the testimony of young
Gennis, the plaintiffs star Witness
A large part of the contention was re-
moved from the case yesterday by
stipulation agreeing that fourteen
cases of the goods seized, valued at
81, ,129, were not received from Weitz-
ner. Gutenberg & Co., leaving the value
of the goods in controversy at $l1, $3.50.
The defense admits that the remainder
of the goods were received by A. S.
Lovett & Co. on consignment from
Weitzner, Gutenberg & Co., but con-
tends that money was advanced for
them in each instance, secured by a
lien. This is the case of the defense as
ternoon, barring the counter charges
of fraud which will be made against
the plaintiffs and their principal wit
