On the 9th of January, 1899, the
Detroit Cigar Co. reduced prices one
dollar per thousand, involving about
forty of our members. The facts are
as follows: This firm was the prime
mover in our last big strike which
proved so disastrous to the union and
members involved. Now, when we are
working under one of the lowest bills
of prices in the country, this firm
would reduce lis still lower and selects
the worst month in the year when
everybody wants work and money.
What we would ask you to do, is to re-
fer this to your label committee or TO
your. executive board that they may
ascertain if any of the cigars manufac-
tured by this firm, are sold in your
city, and if so, we would ask you to
deal with them accordingly.
/ We ask no money, but for your help
in our behalf in your locality.
Hoping to hear from you,
We remain yours fraternally.

Fashion In Tom bAtOn eS !,

There is fashion even in tombstones,
as is shown by the TACT thar~a marble
cuter out in Baltimore-avenue has a
yard full of secondhand head and foot
pieces and enclosures for cemetery lots.
The old-time square tombstone no longer
finds favor, the latest idea being a stone
about IS inches high, with rounded sur
faces, and about the shape of The raised
end of a couch. Lot Enclosures have also
changed, common practice now being
to have simply four posts of marble or
granite at the corner of the lots without
any chains or rails tconnecting them.
Not only are new lots emDellished ac-
cording to the prevailing fashion, but
many persons have tombstones and in
closures removed that have stood for
years, to have them replaced by new
work. The marble-cutters make an al
lowance for the old stones, and, after
redressing them, dispose of them to peo.
pie who cling to old ways or are looking
for bargains with which to express their
respect for departed relatives.-Phila-

ON BOARDA NIAN-OF-wAR.s

The recent memorable achievements OF
our navy under Rear-Admirals Dewey at
Manila and Sampson and Schley at San
tiago have made that branch Of our ma
tional defences the center of worldwide
admiration that is as grateful to US as it
is surprising to those who are thus COM
pelled-in some cases grudgingly-to yield
it: for Uncle Sam is not always popular
with all of his Old-World relations. These
splendid victories, which resulted in the
promotion Of the three heroes to their
present rank, have added lustre to the
brilliancy that already belongs to the his
tory OF our sailor boys through the deeds
of Jones, Perry, Decatur, Lawrence, Far
ragut, and Porter, who, with host or
others, lead the world in dasling and i'm
petuous exploits on the seas. Yet, in spite
of the Importance and value of our mem
of-war, there is a surprising lack of
knowledge on the part of our citizens
generally in regard to the life of their
officers and men.
A modern man-of-war is very different
affair from that of even few years ago,
so rapid has been the growth anu devel-
opment of the navy land it may be freely
and positively stated that our so-called
new navy, ship for ship and gun for gun,
is, as far as it goes, the peer of anything
that floats. Recent events conclusively
bear out this statement and in point Of
discipline, Intelligence, training, and gen.
eral fighting and sailing qualities, our
ships have always ranked exceptionally
high.
The evolution Of the modern steel-clad
baltleship and cruiser, which is simply an
enormous floating fortress, every detail OF
which, from the gigantic engines that
propel the screws to the hosting and
dropping of the anchor, is now controlled
by steam, has naturally enhanced our SUI
perlority, as America is essentially ma
ton of mechanics as well as of sailors, and
no navy admittedly possesses as much in
telligence and ability among its common
sailors as that of the United States. -

Many euIogies are being written on
Ex-Supreme Court Justice Field who
died about two weeks ago. He may
have been the "Napoleon of the law"
as some eulogists style him, but he
was. nothing more. His decisions
were masterpieces" but they were
invariably written without, regard to
right or wrong, and were generally
with the strong and always for self
interest. He was veritable Jeffries
on the bench-cold. calculating and
Misunderstanding over the misery of
the victims of his passion and greed.
His unsurpassed, but contorted in
tellect made him all the more dan
gerous. In his public life he was
possessed of neither pity nor love. His
relentless hate pursued every man who
crossed his path. The browning in
fanny of his career was the killing of
Terry, by his "body-guard,' Dave
Neagle, and the prosecution of the
dead mans widow, who-largely due
to him-is now. Il hopeless, raving
maniac in the Napa State Asylum. In
the case of Supreme Court Justice
Field we depart from the maxim, de
mortuis nil nisi bonum.'
