Cigar. a. Barometers.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
The late William s. Roose. who for so
many years sold cigars at the hotel stands
owned by him in this city, and at his sew
eral stores, always disliked to sell cigars
by the box to any Of his regular custom
ers. His theory was that customers who
lad a box of their favorite cigar handy
were apt to smoke too many. and the In,
evitable result was that they soon got tired
of any favorite, while they would smoke
the same cigar for years without any but
pleasant consequences II they bought them
In small quantities. The only remedy that
1 know is for a person, the instant he feels
any unpleasant effect from cigar. to
throw it away, rinse the mouth out with
cold water and drink a large glass of the
same. A large quantity Of cold water in
the stomach seems to neutralize the effects
OF the cigar better than anything l know
of. My experience Is that cigars are bar
ometer by which persons are readily fore
warned as to their physical condition.
The mere fact that regular smoker does
not want to smoke shows that there Is
something wrong with him. and It is best
to pay attention to the Indication and
leave cigars alone until he feels that he
can enjoy them.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MARY
LAND SENATORSHIP CONTEST

Baltimore. Jan. II eclaD.-President Ran
DAN OF the State Senate has invited Judge Nc
Comas. who leads in the race for United States
senator. to be his guest at Annapolis this week.
The politicians regard this as douby significant.
IL shows that President Randall who has been
all along non-committal. is coming out openly
for the Judge and that the managers of the
Judges canvass have deemed 1t necessary for
him to be on the ground. His opponents think
1t an undignifed move on the part Of the Judge
and predict that it will njure his chances.
There is rumor that the Judge Is suspicious
of one or two prominent leaders who. while now
declaring themselves 70 be for him, were his
enemies in past political contests. He has heard
the report, 1t is said, of a scheme to sacrifice
him after a few ballots and elect General
Shryock, so he has decided that he must watch
the contest at close quarters and be ready per-
sonally to rally his friends in the event of an
attempted break.
At a conference OF the Baltimore City MEM
bers of the Legislature this afternoon it was
apparent that fourteen Of the eighteen. includ-
ing the eleven boilers. will Yote for Major Alex
ander Shaw on the first ballot The three city
Senators are said to be for McComas. Congress
man Mudd is now announced a McComas
Manager. But the trouble about most of these
McComas men, SAID a veteran politician who Is
on the fence himself. is that the Judge Is not
sure Of them. Underlying all the talk about Nc
Comas is a sentiment for Shryock, the strength
of which will not be known until after three or
four ballots have been taken.
The Senator and three members from Somer-
set County are the only members or the Eastern
Shore delegation who have declared for Me
Comas. ON thu opening ballots the other East
ern Shore Representatives VIII he DIVIDED ne
tween Congressman Isaac a. Barber and Colonel
H. Clay Mulliken. Like the members from the
