cisarmaksn WIN suasr u wsyisr's Or
der IL Carried Out.

CmcAoo. May 20.-with few excep.
tons, every mandatory in Chicago en-
gagged In making Havana cigars win be
shut down within 90 days as result OF
G<p-al wcyler's order forbidding the
exploration Of leaf tobacco from Cuba.
This Is the opinion expressed by some OF
the largest tobacco importers in the city
who are thoroughly posted ON the con-
dition Of the market. The result Of
the Spanish generals proclamation will
be the enforced idleness Of thousands Of
cigarmakers until the embargo Is re-
moved. What Is the result here may
also, It is said, apply elsewhere In the
United States, AZ the supply Of Havana
tobacco in the United States cannot last
longer than three months. There Is
plenty Of filler tobacco. but It Is useless
without the proper kind Of wrapper.
The manufacturers win suffer most
by General Weyler's proclamation.
They viii find It next 10 impossible "a
buy wrapper tobacco at any price In q
few weeks. A few Of the largest Inn
porting firms viii profit immensely by
the situation These firms have been
investing largely during the past month
in Havana tobacco, fully anticipating
the contingency that has arisen. II Il
no secret in the tobacco trade that two
or three Chicago importers have beer
making the largest shipments In Their
history since the beginning u the month
hoping 10 lay in a stock that would
carry them through.
One effect Of the constant demand
from the importers has been an advanc'
Of nearly 30 per cent In prices within
three weeks. This advance has not ye
affected the price Of the manufacture,
product 10 the consumer. and Il Is pos
sible that the users Of the weed may no
find the cost Of a smoke beyond thei
reach for several months"

lie church in America, and as to the
earnest work done by the priests,
whereupon I asked:
your eminence, there is one question
l would like to put to you-not for in
formation. for I think on that ground
the question would be both a foolish
and insulting one-but on the ground
that many illiberal Protestants believe
otherwise. The question is: Are we'll
educated Catholics honest? Are your
priests honest in their acceptance of
all the truths Of the church? Do you
people believe what you preach?"
'1n other words" replied Cardinal
Gibbons, you want me to answer the
question as to whether Catholic priests
are not as rule hypocrites. The
question is, as you say, silly one.
Look at it! What is there in the life
of a priest to make it the choice of
hypocrite. The man who would devote
himself to it has TO give UP the most
of the things which the world holds
dear. I will not mention all of them
but will take only one. For instance,
that of personal chastity. The priest
can never marry. When he decides to
enter the ministry he must give up the
hope Of wife, children and home, and
must devote himself, soul and body,
to the church. This, in many cases,
would prevent men from becoming
priests. The life of the priesthood is
not any easy one. 1t is one Of hard
ship and subordination. The priest is
subject to be sent, at the will of his
superiors, anywhere, at any time. He
may be ordered to the widest countries
of the world, and he must 60 His
whole life is given up to the serving
of his people, and it is his duty to visit
the pest houses, and to minister to the
sick there, even at the risk of his life
STORY OF CARDINAL GIBBONS.
AS Cardinal Gibbons said this. nv
mind went back over his career and T
remembered an incident in it which
shows that he believes what he says
and that in the past he has had the
courage Of his convictions. It was long
before he had any hope of being car
dinal. 1t was when he was q humble
priest in small country parish near
Baltimore. Smallpox had broken out
in his village and all Of his pensioners
who were able had fed from the town.
One poor old negro who had the disease
lay at the point of death. He had been
deserted by his friends and family, who
had left him neither fooo nor medicine.
The young priest heard Of the case and
fastening to the dying negroes side he
remained with him until the last. Then
the question came as to his burial.
There was no one who would raise q
hand at the risk Of his life to aid in
carrying the CORPSE to the grave Faith
or Gibbons was left alone with the
dead. 1t did not take him long to make

only claim upon public favor He is a bril-
liant lawyer, a public spirited citizen and a
worthy gentleman with a fame as great in
the Northwest, as that Of his humorous broth
er BilP' Nye, though resting on other
grounds. To have lost Mr.. Nye's abilities
would have been a public misfortune That
he was really Frustrated by the trial referred
to and the arduous labors connected there
with, every one in Minneapolis knows How
he was restored to health he tells for himself
in the following letter:
Minneapolis, JAM 18th, 1896 Gentlemen:
The weary months Of the Hayward trial in,
VOlyed a severe strain upon my nervous Sys-
tenn and after it was over I was threatened
with protracted illness. I needed absolute
rest and something to quiet my nervous sys-
tenn. Fortunately a friend recommended Dr.
Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets as a sure
specific and I gave them trial. The effects
were beyond my expectations as 1 found al
most immediate relief. My nervousness gave
way to restful and soothing feelings and /
could sleep and eat far better. For nervous
invaluable. Yours truly Frank NJ. Nye.
