the decision of the Arbitrator must be rendered
within ten days after the ease Is heard.
The fact that lawyers could collect no fees in
the Court of Arbitration was. it ia said. the very
thing that made the court unpopular. All bust :
ness men thought the court a fine thing at first.
and Judge Fancher was kept very busy. In 1878.
however, through the influence OF many New
York lawyers and some business men. the Legis-
lature repealed those sections OF the creating act
which provided for the salaries of the Arbitrator
that the he Arbitrator Would resign and the court
would go out OF existence. Such, however, was
not the case. Judge Fancher has been for many
years an honorary member OF the Chamber of
Commerce. He also has n very large law prac-
ticc, and. at the request of the Chamber, after he
had first made the suggestion. he continued to
hold his office and serve without pay. This he
has done since 1878.

A book lately published in London gives much
interesting information about tobacco users; 1t
is by an anonymous writer, and is. as its title
page asserts, ian amusing miscellany of fact
and anecdotes relating to the great plant in all
its forms and uses" Tho book is appropriately
named - Tobacco Talk"
Many great names arc given of men who
smoked. 1t Is doubtful whether Shakespeare
was a smoker or not, and q reason for his abstain
ing Is found in the fact that his patron, King
James l., was one of the earliest antt.tobacco.
nists. Ben Jonson was q smoker. Napoleon
once said that tobacco smoking was a habit
somewhat in the nature of sour grapes" the
great man being unable to forget the effect Of
his first cigar. ni John Milo Milton smoke smoked z PIPE Of
Fletcher. Bishop Of London, was the first known
churchman to smoke In England. Taileyrand
took SNUFF, and excused himself by saying that
all diplomats ought to take SNUFF. as 1t afforded
a pretext for delaying a reply with which one
Mazzini alwayg kept a cigar burning as he
wrote. Guizot. the French historian, said that
Sm \ had prolonged fSdt his Z. NE Mss ten aoiyc year, s. p Peg e.
he bought some roll tobacco to smoke and
Charles ehsTi Lamb smoked the strongest and eosrsest
tobacco. and called It his "evening comfort"
that his last Breath might be drawn through q
pipe. and exhaled In a pun.
In 1912 Pope Urban VII. issued a bull against
the use OF tobacco in churches. threatening any
one with accommodation who disobeyed.
Among other famous mon who are mentioned
as universal 9sers Of tobacco are Bismarck, Lord
Huxley, Victor Hugo, Bulwer Lytton. Tenny:
son, Gibbon, Charles Kingsley, Dickens, and
Thackeray. On the other hand many great
men have been opposed to the use OF the weed.
Some of these were yoltaire. Rousseau. Mira
beau. and Swinburne, who Is quoted az saying:
LANES i. was a knaye, a tyrant, a fool. a liar,
and a coward; but / love him, I worship him,
because he slit tho throat of that blackguard

This TRADE Is qualified by another writer who
says that tobacco has made more good husbands.
than any other blessed thing on this universal
earth.

The Berlin Boersen-C Courier tells about a Ger
man invention OF a new paper shirt front. which
is intended 10 appeal to the large number of Con-
t~inental Germans who wear dickies. The shirt
front has a papercollar polish and is in seven
layers. AS each layer ID torn Off 1t reveals
another white. glistening front. Thus from one
paper dicky the wearer may evolve a cloan
paper shirt front for every day In. the week.

Is but o centa day. In view of the prevalence OF

William ID. Rowland, the missing New
Bedford treasurer, has wide business and
personal acquaintance In this city and
his friends are naturally much concerned
ms to his whereabouts. The theory ad-
vanced by the Journal, this morning that
overcome by the pressure of his embar-
rassments he has wandered off and is
likely TO be heard from at any hour, is
tenable and justified by the records of
similar misfortune. 1t Is sincerely hoped
that no harm may be found to have rc.
suited and that the irresistible fear enter
tained by friends of darker outcome in
explanation of his disappearance may
shortly be dispelled. Indeed up to this
writing there is no real reason to give up
the hope of his ultimate restoration.
