. BIG CIGAR FIRM TO STOP.
Their Plantation in Cuba Destroyed
by Rebel Forces

New York, Jan. 2O.-R. Nome &. Bro.
manufacturers of fine Havana cigars.
of A Park Place have announced to
their customers that they intend going
out of business as soon as they can
wind up their affairs. As a starter
they have already dismissed forty men
from their employ.
The firm is composed of Ramon
Nome and his brother, Evaristo Nome.
They started business twent two years
ago, during the last four of which they
devoted themselves exclusively to the
manufacture of Havana cigars of the
choicest Vuelta Abajo tobacco. They
were well able to do this, as they owned
a plantation comprising 2,066 acres in
Pinar del Rio, Cuba, where the finest
Havana tobacco comes from. Besides
that, they had a large factory at Tam
pa, Fla The firm manufactured and
sold 100000 fine Havana cigars a year
at a profit of $780, 900.
The rebellion in Cuba is ascribed as
the cause of the firms retirement from
business.
The Nome plantation suffered worse
than others. Almost tWo-thirdS of the
crop of fine leaf was destroyed by fires
set by the Cubans within the past year
What they couldn't burn they destroyed
in other ways. The buildings and ma
chinery were almost demolished.

AS a state, we cannot vote silver up

lower or abolish the tariff. And we
cannot make a people rich by giving
can make them prosperous by increas-
ing the tariff taxes. One proposition
IS as fallacious as the other. AS a
state, we can do but little in reducing
railroad freight. And even if we could
lower freight on corn from 20 cents to
cents per bushel from Kansas to Gal
weston, Tex, the benefit would ultf-
| mately accrue to the owners of land.
That is, land values would rise higher
than they are now, resulting in in

PLATT REWARDS HER.
Astrologist Who Predicted His Sena-

Buffalo, Jan 20.-Mme. Fanny Mel
son, of Eagle street, in this city, is such
an enthusiastic astrologist that she cast
a horoscope weeks ago for Thomas C.
Platt and told him that he would soon
go to the United States senate. Nine.
Nelson is especially delighted at the
result of her prediction, not only be-
cause it has been practically verified,
but because Mr.. Platt sent her a val
liable present.
DO you see those vases2' said Nine.
Nelson, ointing at three pretty Vases
that stand on her mantel. Mr.. Plat
sent them to me as an evidence of his
gratitude. They are worth not a cent
less than $780,
How did 1 cast his horoscope. East
ly. 1 found out the exact year, day,
hour and minute of his birth. I easily
found out the exact positions of the
ruling planets at the moment he was
born. From that I worked out the
horoscope and found out that he was
destined to become a member of the
United States senate My prediction
was fulfilled and Mr.. Platt was so
happy that he sent me those vases.

SOCIETY IN A oUANDARY.
The Bradley Martins Ball Will De-
mand Sixteenth Century Costumes.

New York. Jan. 2O.-The topic in So
ciety just now is the contenpla ted fan
cy ball to be given by the Bradley
Martins at the Hotel Waldorf Febru-
airy TO- All sorts and conditions of ru-
mors have gone forth regarding this
function, which promised to be one of
unprecedented ma gnif1cance."
The selection of Mrs. Branley-Mar-
tin of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries is fortunate in regard to the
promise it gives for picturesqueness
and splendor of costume, but unfortu-
nately all are not Bradley Martins.
How to wear an effective costume of
the period without total and absolute
bankruptcy is a question which is agi-
tating many.
At the famous ball given by the
Countess of Warwick, old trunks were
ransaclSed and costumes of ancestors
were fished out from the garrets and
other store-places of the gentry i'm Eng
land. But even the proverbal grand
mothers trunk does not contain any
thing which dates further back than
the days of George Washington, and
this, of course, would never do. so there
is a great deal Of disquietude as to how
people ought to be costumed within any
reaSOna BILE sum.

147 PRISONERS ESCAPE
In the Philippine Islands-So are
Killed,

San Francisco. Jan. 2O--A convict
outbreak at Cevite, Philippine islands
on December 6, was the occasion of
more actual fighting at the rebel
stronghold, than has been precipitated
by the entire operations of the Spanish
troops. On the date 147 prisoners in
the public jail suddenly rose in open
revolt, killing the guards and effected
their escape.
AS related in the mail advices
brought by the steamer, Rio Janeiro,
the alarm occasioned was indescrib-
able. The convicts after placing hors
d combat every guardian of the Jail
including the superintendent took pos
session of all the weapons they could
find handy, including some Mauser RI
f1eS and revolvers, which belonged to
the guards and made their way toward
the interior. The SentrieS in St F'el1p-
pc fort, in the arsenal and in the bar
racks of the cazadors and marine in
fantry, on perceiving their flight open
ed fire upon them
The runaways then divided them
selves into two groups. The whole of
Cavite seemed to have a hand at the
destruction of the unfortunates or
their recapture, so that the result, up
to December Z. was so killed and some
IS or 20 recaptured.
