PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
one Hundred Thousand Grateful SOL
diers.

These war times have tried mems souls
in many unexpected ways, but like a shaft
of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud
Of privation and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co. has
done among the II. 5. Soldiers and Sailors
ever since the war began-for when they
discovered that the camps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de-
cided to provide them, free of cost, with
enough for every man, and have already
given outright 10 our Soldiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds of Bat
AK Plug" and Dukes Mixture" Smoking
Tobacco, and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at total
cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol
lars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp, so that every camp and every
hospital OF the United States Army has
been supplied with enough tobacco for
every man and the sailors on thirty
United States Ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most welcome
Of all "rations."
Perhaps il will be only fair TO remember
when we hear the remark again that
corporations have no souls" that there
is one American corporation whose soul
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in practical kindness"

est point attainable in the commercial world.
As an example the name of VIM. Simpson
ish. Every piece Of their goods bears a
ticket on which appears the name William
Simpson & Sons. This insures the quality.
Dealers who have sold and women who have
bought and worn the material made by that
house are assured of the excellence of every
piece Of goods which bears the name, and
the women Of the United States who have
worn Simpsons prints as long as they can re-
member are still wearing them and will nat
urally insist upon having the goods bearing
that particular name on the ticket because
they give the most perfect satisfaction.

o'clock this forenoon to witness the
"send-off y which the citizens of the

Early this morning decorations were
placed on many buildings, and men
wearing our country's blue commenced
TO appear on the streets
The Williamstown Cornet Band
reached the city early and rendered
patriotic selections while the societies
were making ready for the march.
About ten O'Clock the Translantic band
made their appearance, and soon Gran
dali Post g. A. X. marched up the
street to the armory. By this time a
score of people had assembled from

waved flags and handkerchiefs and
shouted goodbye to our first company

given attention tomorrow. those who
do not pass are likely to be home again

Is France Aiding Spain
Big French Liner Captured by
the Annapolis.

KEY WEST, May 6.-Thc large trans
Atlantic steamer Lafayette from Corruna
Spain, was captured off Havana at sun
set last evenin by the gunboat Aunapo-
lis. The Lafayette was headed directly
into Havana and was captured after an
exciting chase. After the officers of the
Annapolis had boarded her she attempt
ed to run the blockade, but stopped af-
ter shot was fired. The Whining on,
Merrill and Newport participated in the
capture. The Lafayette was taken here
with her prize crew. 1t is believed she
has a contraband of war aboard. The
large number of men which We're
aboard, leads the officials to believe that
she carried recruits for Havana. The
Lafayette is a French naval reserve and
carries guns. 1t is probable France
will raise questions regarding her cap
tnre.
