Injured by Frost

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 25.--A special to the Commercial Tribune from Louisville, Ky, says: The extent of the damage caused to the tobacco crop in Kentucky by frost is greater than was at first supposed. In the weekly review of the leaf tobacco market which the Louisville Tobacco Warehouse association has just issued an estimation of the burley crop is. given. This review is perpared by MT. Henry Glover, president of the as- sociation, trade authority whose re- sponsibility is universally recognized. MT. Glover also mentions in a general way the damage by frost. He puts the burley crop at only 50 per cent. of last years crop, whi h was very much below the average. He estimates that 30 per cent. of the crop was uncut Monday and

THE FL DORADO MYTH.
How the Term Came to Be Applied to Sources of
 Uncommon Riches.

From the Pdttsburg Commercial Gazette.
 Ea Dorado Is the term now heard on every side in connection with the plaeen mines of Alaska and the northwest ter Tljory eff Canada It's derivation is of dn- terest. In the fifteenth century it was rumored that Dhere existed in fle nor.Ih- ern pant of Sou,h Am5rlca a city of great wealth called Msnoa, whose king. El Dorado by name, w.ss perod cally smear ed with oil and balsam and was then powdered with gold dust, until his body had a gtlded appearance. 1t was sad that on these occasions he threw god. erneralds and other precious mzlba9s into @ sacred lake, in which he afterward bathed.
 Beginning in 1532 the Span,auds sent many large expeditions to search for tais phantom city, ard most of them ended dfsastrouSly, hundreds of lives bansy lost. One explorer, Orellano, a.veired that he found Fl Dorado in his voyage down the Amazon in 1540 This was dis proved, but the search was continued down the eighteenth century Some of the results were the conquest and set le- ment of New Granada, the mak n,g known to the world of the noun. al nous region of Venezuela, the discovery of th noble rivers, the Or.noco and the Anna zon, and .ldfe exploration of the vast for Cst6 WGsrl Ol uilo AIllSS. ADOuI LID3 6IlQ of the sixteenth century an Ergriyh ex- petition under the personal leadership of Raleigh penstral ed into Guiana, there by oIbtalning a claim on that country, which resulted in the requirement of the modern British colony by that name.
 It llas been supposed that the origin of the fable arose from the yearly ceIe- braticn of "a tribe of Indians near Bo- gcta, whose chief was on these occa sions gilded with gold dust, but ih ceremony mi and lJhs story may simply be another version of the E1 Dorado myth.
 IthIe name Fl Dorado was commonly used to dascaibe the city or country which was the object of the search, but a. latter usage of the term has been its fSuralive application with reg ard Ito any region of more then common richness. El Dorado county, in Cal f1rnfa, was the scene of the famous gold finds of '49, and since tllSn the expression has been used to describe many gold camps

BAB0O TOBACCO SCIENCE.
Valuable Information on the Right Mixture For
 Hindoes to Smoke and Chew.
From the caleutta New Age.

As we see, it is a most amazing ex- tent to which tobacco has spread all over earth in these 300 years, when 1t was borught into England from America by Sir Walter Raleigh in 15S6 A. D. In Turkey it is perpstually in every mouth. In China it is so univer- sally practiced that a female of six or seven has pocket in her dress to hold her pipe and tobacco. In Burmah 1t is smoked by persons of all ranks, even a child of two or three. In India all classsS and both sexes smoke, eat, and smell.
 It grows in India so vigorously that we can scarcely find a town or village in HlnduStan where no plot of ground would be found covered by this per- petual plant And in the same manner thsTe would be very few of our readers who know the processes in which the tobacco becomes suitable for our un- usual smoking. It would be not, there fore, out of place to draw before the public an outline of it's manufacture.
 When it is full grown and its leaves have begun to acquire yellowish tint it is gathered and left on the ground to be withered one day or more in the sun.
 Although we can have smoking to- bacco from many different ways, but it would suffice here to mention some process:s, for their suitableness, current in a most famous place for the purpose in India, known as Biswan, in Seetapore district.
 Being withered, it is brought to be cudgelled with wood so firmly as to become a dust, which is called "Rud dee'' and mixed with syrup and alkali or impure carbonate of soda; it is left in balls to be dissolved.
 Now a leavened or Khamira tobacco is prepared by the undergoing formu- la:
 1. Cloven. ,Cardamums. 3, Mace. 4, Nutmeg. 5, Afspice. 6, Cinnamon. z, Dry rose flower. 8, Filling aloes wood. g, Filling scandal wood. 10, Nakh. Il, Pandree. 12, White car1sdamums. IS, Benzoin. Of each quarter a seer. 14, Amillas. One seer.
 AM these except the last one, which Is boiled are cudgelled and made a. DOW der. And next preparation is now made:
 Camphor two Chatak-Karpur; sala- rus, quarter seer; betel, quarter a seer.
 All el1ese being cudgelled are boiled and now five punsaris of Ruddee mixed with syrup are mixed with both the preparations and stirred with hand, and in this, essence of rose or keorah one tola, musk six mashes. and saffron three mashes, ''being grind :d" are mixed, and the process now ready is called khamira. good one for the purpose, ever used in India for smoking.

First of the Season

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-The University of Pennsylvania eleven and the Frank lin and Marshall team of Lancaster op- ened the foot ball season on Franklin field this afternoon, the Quokers winning the game by a score of B to 0. The day was foo warm for foot ball, notwith- standing this, however, both teams played a fast game. Pennsylvania' s play was all that could be expected so early in the season. Pennsylvania fre- quently used her famous guard back in terference with good effect. The spe- cial features of the game were the all- round playing of Hare at left guard and two magnificent runs for fifty and s.xty-five yards each by Minds, aided by the brilliant interference of Outland who played right tackle.

They first make mad"

tbons by the Ministerial Association of Cumberland branding as "dishonorable" the practice of certain local clergymen dn fleeing colored hackmen for bringing to them young couples to be married. The resolutions, which are signed by the Rev. Dr. James B. Moffatt, pastor or the Presbyterian church; the Rev. Dr. M. F. B. Rice, pastor of Centre Street Methodist Episcopal church, and tn Rev. Quinton c. Davis, pastor of the First Baptist church, committee, and the Rev. Charles s. Riggs, secretary, further say that the practice is prostitution of the sacred office of minister for base gain; that it necessarily leads to the practice Of deception and the perpetra- tion of wrong upon many of the parties seeking to be married, and tends to lower the standard of public morals in the community; that 1t is a violation of the universally recognized courtesy and comity which should exist between all ministers Of religion, and Shames all true righteousness" The committee deems any minister who shall be guilty of said practice to be unworthy of membership in the association"
 Cumberland, as is we'll known, is yer itable Gretna Green. Young couples desiring to get married come here from all parts of West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, even as far as the Ohio river, and western Maryland. Some days as many as dozen couples arrive. Many of these are intercepted by col ored hackmen, who, it is alleged, inyar- iably take them to either one of the two ministers. Sometimes the groom will ask for certain minister who does not happen to be either of the two in all leged collusion with the hackmen, where upon the latter will make all sorts of excuses, saying the minister is out of town or is sick. Couples not knowing the minister for whom they had asked would be taken to such a minister as the hackman would see fit and would be married, the hackman all the time as- suring them that the officiating clergy man was the one they had asked for. 7'i The coming to Cumberland to get mar- rfed serves as the bridal trip with a great many. The young grooms, there fore, feel quite iberally. It is said that None minister pays two colored hackmen 33 1-3 per cent of his fees, and that an- other pays the same hackman 50 per cent. of his fees.
 One of the ministers makes no denial whatever about fleeing the hackmen. He says: q know 1t is not the proper thing but get a small salary, andt when ] find ministers better paid than I guilty of the practice am compelled to resort to 1t for self preservation. I will be only too glad to discontinue if all others will do likewise" One day one of the hack men took two couples to this ministers home but he happened to be away. Hia wife sent for another minister, who has not been in the habit of fleeing the hack men, who married the couples. The

THE WEIGH CHAMPION
Makes Monkey of Lesna, the Swiss Rider in
 Bike Race.

New York, Sept 25.-Cycling racing in this vicinity was wound up for the season this afternoon at Manhattan Beach with a rattling international match race between Jimmy Michael, the Welch championb and Lucien Lesna. the Swiss rider, who holds the French middle distance record. The attend ance was 14.000.
 The wind, which had been blowing pretty strongly during the afternoon, died out before the race The little Welchman had the advantage of having the best pacemal1ing machines and de- cidedly the best pacemakers. When the contestants lined up the little Welch- man looked pigmy in comparison with his Swiss opponent.
 At the crack of the pistol Michael jumped off in the lead and got the pole right behind his quintette, which, after the first lap retired in favor of quad ruplet. From the start to the finish ths race was a procession, as Michael led all the way. Att the end of the first mile he was twelve yards ahead and he steadily increased his lead throughout the race.
 Lesna lost his pacemakers while Mi- chael had no trouble in following his. Although it was a foregone conclusion early in the race that Michael would bar accidents, surely win, Lesna stuck manfully to his task. At no time ex- cept when a change of pacers was made was Michael more than six inches be- hind his pacers. When the ten miles was covered Michael was a. lap and a ljaR to the good and on tine second lap of the twelfth mile he Tapped Lesna for the second time. At the end of the hour Michael had covered thirty-one miles and 1,40O yards which is ahead of the worlds one hour competitive rec ord of thirty miles and 500 yards held by Stocks and the American record thirty miles, 293 yards, held by Michael himself.
 The thirty-third and last mile was travefsed as quickly as the preceding ones and Michael flew across the tape a winner by almost five laps in the ex- cellent time of 62 minutes r 4-5 seconds

minister received s10, one half of which he gave to the clergyman's wife who sent for him. The negro hackman was ignored entirely. He hung about while and then departed. Later he returned and demanded most insolentiy of the clergyman's wife the $5 which the off ciating minister had given her for send- ing for him. He did not get the money and vowed vengeance.
 The ministers will endeavor to enter into an agreement not to fee hackmen, and an attempt will be made to secure a public expression from every Cumber- land clergyman on the subject.
