CUBAN TOBACCO.
weyler's Proclamation VIII Have a De-
moralizing Effect Here.

morallzing Eject Here.
New York, May 1S.-Importers of to-
bacco from Cuba were inclined to doubt
to-day the authenticity of the dispatch
from Havana to the effect that General
Weyler had forbidden the expectation
of tobacco from Cuba. General Wey-
Ter. IL is understood, has taken this
step because of the financial assistance
rendered to the cause of the revolution
in Colombia by the Cuban and Spanish
cigar makers in this country and pre-
sumably elsewhere out of Cuba.
A member of a wholesale grocery
house that imports more tobacco and
cigars from Cuba than any other firm.
speaking of this later alleged order by
the Spanish commander in chief in Gu
ba. said to-day: IF the telegraphic dis
patches concerning this matter are cor
rect. the whole manufacturing tobacco
trade in this country will be democrat
lied. The price of Havana cigars con-
stantly fiuctuates as far as the dealers
are concerned. although the consumers
perhaps do not know it, There has
been a gradual increase in the price of
tobacco the last two or three months.
but il is impossible TO say how much
/ the price of domestic cigars are to be
increased by our failure to get tobacco
from Cuba. The enforcement of General
Weyler's decree would greatly interfere
with the factories in Florida"

KITCHEN sTovEPIPE
Trouble 1t Caused by Coming Unjointed
During a Cold Snap.

From the Grafton Record.
The thermometer fell 81 degrees FRI
day morning; also our kitchen stove
pipe. The stove had rs cents worth of
hard wood in it at the time and 1T was
burning faster than a man falls out of
a balloon. The stovepipe did not come
down in one drawn out link of sweet
ness, but seven separate and distinct
species of the stovepipe fell around
that kitchen and emptied their contents
on the new mown floor. Then the smoke
began to roll out of that bobtail stove
as If il was pulling a freight train up
a seven-mile grade. My wife added to
the misery of the occasion by telling
me that she knew the stovepipe was
coming down q week ago; then / asked
her to go into the other room and be
seated while l put the stovepipe up, so
that breakfast, which was on the half
shell when the stovepipe dropped, could
be completed by her in her own fascin-
ating manner. Then / went to work
putting the stovepipe up. In putting
up the hot stovepipe l wore out new
pair of mittens that l had figured on
using for the next three winters, and
then began burning my hands; the pipe
didn't go together with the same ease
that it came apart, and / lost track Of
my GOODNESS for a minute and stepped
up on the hot stove to arrange the
difficulty, but / go right down again all
at once and struck an odd joint of pipe
and 1T fiattened out like a pail OF water
upside down. After working for half
an hour trying to fix this without do
ing IL any good, my wife suggested
through the keyhole that breakfast had
been suspended, but If / would get a
man who knew how to put up a stove
pipe dinner would be ready on sched-
ule time. She found this out in her
cook book, and l got the man just to
please her. But we did have eggs with
a black background, fried potatoes in
the hill and coffee settled with noise
for breakfast Shortly after the man
from the hardware store fixed the pipe
up before 1 could tell him where 1 had
left off
