Bat,leship Permanently.


The plan to assign two battle ships
to service in the Pacific is good as far
as 1t goes, but 1t does not go far
enough. One armor-clad is needed at
Manila, one at Honolulu and one more
could put in the time to good advant-
age here and In Puget Sound. Doubt
less that will be the arrangement when

ABOUT CIGAR BOXES.
Spanish Cedar Is the Best Wood, But
it Comes from Cuba,

From the Washington Star.
There are something like 100000
cigar boxes used in the United States
annually, and about nine-tenths of that
number are made in this city, where
the trade rivals the clothing industry
in point of capital invested, and the
number Of people employed" said a
leading cigar box manufacturer in New
York to the writer yesterday. THE
material out of which the best boxes
are made comes principally from Cuba,
and Is known as spanish cedar. The
recent war with Spain has shortened
the supply and increased the price OF
the article to such an extent that many
box makers whose stock of cedar was
small early last spring have been COM
PEELED to use a cheaper and less desir-
able grade of wood for the purpose.
"One New York firm has been expert
menting with timber from the unex-
plored Paraguayan forests, which are
7aid to contain the finest cedar wood
In the world They have, however, ex-
Ierieaced considerable difficulty in SELL
ing their boxes, as cigar manufacture
ers and connoisseurs insist that 1t spoils
fine cigar to put it in any box not
iii''Nt VI CpdnlSl CGudIs lie
latter wood always retains the flavor
OF good cigar. Indeed, some people
claim that it improves the flavor. The
reason given is that it grows in the
same localities as the best Havana to-
bacco.
Attempts made to use cedar grown
In the United States for cigar boxes
have not been very successful. The
Florida and South American cedar con-
tains a peculiar gum that melts when
the wool is exposed to the heat of a
store or house, and thus the labels and
sometimes the cigars in n box are
spoilt. or course, the smokers of
cheaper brands of cigars are less par
ticular about the quality OF the wood
used for their boxes, and a veneered
cedar, made from a peculiar sort of
cedar that grows in Mexico, Is often
substituted for the Spanish article. But
1t cannot be done without the cigar
dealers finding 1t out, and the conse-
quence is that even a good cigar when
packed in such box sells at a disad-
vantage.

EXPENSIVE MINE FIRES.
They Are the Bane of the Life of the
Coal Operator.

The fire at the Ravine mine in Pitts
ton has called attention to the many
expensive mine fires that have occurred
In this part of Pennsylvania.
One of the most stubborn and most
expensive mine fires that ever occurred
In this region is that in the Conyng-
ham mine OF the Delaware and Hudson
in North Wilkes-Earre. A fire was
discovered there July is, 1891. but it
existed for months before it was dis
covered. There had previously been
an explosion OF gas and that part OF
the mine was flooded and the water
was being pumped out. To the sur
prise of every one another explosion
occurred, showing that there was still
fire in the mine. The work of pump
ing out the water was ut once stopped
and the mine was again filed with
water, il reaching to a height of SAG
feet vertically up the shaft. Then, as
r. further means of precaution to in
sure the extinguishing of the fire, the
mine was sealed. The adjoining col
liery is the Hollenback, owned by the
Lehgh and Wilkes-Barre Coal COM
pany.
At the close of 1891 the Lehigh and
Wilkes Barre applied for An injunction,
alleging that the barrier pillar of eigh-
ty feet between the Conyngham and
HollenbaCk was not of sufficient thick
ness to keep that immense body of
water from breaking into the Hollen-
back. Test bore holes were put through
and the bores went in 80, i25 and 15i
feet. Either the barrier pillar was
thicker than supposed or the drills
were spent by their own weight in
gons through and did not give an ac-
curate measurement. The injunction
was not granted. The Delaware and
Hudson left the water stand until
about one and a half years ago and
then pumped it out again, which took
about a year.
Last winter the workmen again no
ticed that the air was hotter than it
should be and every indication pointed
to the fact that the fire had not yet
been extinguished, after these years of
flooding. Several examinations were
made and tie air current was watched
and the existence of combustion in the
caved workings was shown. The flood
ing had left the mine in a deplorable
condition, many portions being caved.
Mine officials decided to again flood
the mine. This was done but It will be
some time before work can be resumed.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars
have already been expended in efforts
to eXtinsuish this fire.

that their classmates here appreciate

A STRANGE ROMANCE.
Husband and Wife Reunited After a
Separation of Nearly Forty Years.

In 1855 Samuel Gassaway. Of Blooms
burg, was married and when the war
broke out he enlisted in Company II,
Forty-second Pennsylvania volunteers
Since then he did not see his wife until
the other day, when they were re-
unitd. In the meantime each, believ-
ing the other dead, had married, the
spouse of each had died and then al
most by chance they met again few
days ago.
Gassaway was severely wounded in
one of the first battles and for months
lay between life and death and unable
to send word to his wife. He had been
reported killed and his wife moved
from Bloomsbury to Wiliamsport in
order to make a living for herself. Re-
turning to Bloomsbury when discharged
from the hospital, Gassaway found his
wife gone and, despite a protracted
search, could get no trace of her. He
then moved to Van Vert, Ohio. where
he married and had six children. The
children all died in childhood and his
wife dying a short time ago. he came
east after living there thirty years.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Gassaway had in
1888 married Jesse Headington, OF Cata-
wissa, who committed suicide in 1895.
Then Mrs. Gassaway Headington went
to Wilkes-Barre and lived there until
few months ago, when she returned
to Bloomsbury. She had been located
there only couple of months when
Gassaway returned from Ohio, and was
much surprised to learn that his wife
was still alive. He went to call on her;
she did not recognize him and he intro
duced himself as a relative. They had
long talk and when he finally told
who he was. she became very indig-
nant and turned him out of the house
1t was not until several friends iden-
titled him that she was convinced, and
now, after nearly forty years separ-
alton, they are reunited.
