With Cigarettes.

PITTsBURG, Feb. IA few weeks

regulating the sale of cigarettes within
the city limits. They intended to make
the ordinance a prohibitory one and
placed the license at $500 per annum
Immediately after the passage of the
ordinance, the dealers quit their sales
and the slaves to tho habit had to buy
them in Frontenac or go without.
Yesterday Mr.. Manning of the Opera
House cafe decided to take out license
and made an application to the city clerk
for same. The license is an exorbitant
one, and the profits on them quite small,
but Mr.. Manning expects TO make a
profit on them, as his sales will certainly
be large.
