A number of stogie manufacturers
and officials of the stogie makers league
have addressed letter to the Chamber
of Commerce, relative to the protection
of the rights of local manufacturers in
the exclusive use of the term wheel
ing Stogie,' right guaranteed them
under a recent decision by the Federal
Courts. The matter will come I'D at
the special meeting of the Chamber,
called for Tuesday night, to consider
the merchants day project. The letter,
which is self-explanatory, follows:
To the Chamber of Commerce. Wheeling,
w. Va
Gentlemen: In response to a call
issued by few cigar manufacturers Of
this city for general meeting Of all
the stogie manufacturers of Wheeling
meeting was held at the Stamm
Hotel ON the 18th inst, in which but a
small percentage of firms were repre-
scented.
Owing to the apparent Indifference
on the part Of many who should have
attended that meeting, it was suggest
ed that the matter be referred to your
honorable body, asking you to take
such action in the premises as the meT-
its of the case will suggest, and for the
purpose of communicating these mat
tiers to you the undersigned committee
was appointed to confer with you on
the subject.
1t is not known generally to what
importance or extent the manufacture
of the stogie has grown, and only upon
statistics can it be realized.
The name of the wheeling Stogie"
is known from one ocean to the other,
its manufacturers having worked many
years to establish this reputation, and
in recent years other makers, outside
of the pale of our city have encroached
upon our rights by making inferior
cigars and branding them Wheeling
Stogies." This kind of business has
been carried on to such an extent that
it is estimated that if all the cigars
sold under this brand or title were ac-
tually made in Wheeling, it would re-
quire more than five times the work
men that are actually employed here to
do the work This will give you some
idea of what we are compelled to con-
end with.
This unfair dealing has been carried
on for many years, and finally be-
came so great that some action on our
part had to be. taken, and few Of the
larger firms, together with the organi-
cation, the Stogie Makers Union, joined
issues and applied to the United States
court in Massachusetts for an injunc-
ton restraining one manufacturer Of
Boston from using the word wheel
ing" or Wheeling Stogies' on cigars

THE PR RESIDENT
Attended Church at Plattsburg, N.
Y, Yesterday, and Will Witness
the YACHT Race To-Day.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, August g.
President Mckinley, accompanied by
Secretary Cortelyou, attended church
this morning, driving up from the Ho-
tel Champlain. Although the man
who drove lived in Plattsbarg all his
life, he drove the party to the Presby
terrain church instead OF to the Metho-
dist church, making the President
about fifteen minutes late. The pastor
of the church, however, delayed ser
When he entered the church the en-
tire congregation arose and remained
standing until he had been seated.
Bishop Goodsell. of Tennessee, preach
ed the sermon, taking his text from the
ninth chapter of St John, 3sth verse.
Dr.. Joel w. Eaton, presiding elder OF
the Champlain district, of the Troy
conference in his prayer asked that
the Blessing of God might rest upon
the President of the United States and
through us the uneivilized peoples OF
other lands might be lifted up
At the close of the service the con-
gregation remained standing until the
President had reached the street.
President and Mrs. Mckinley. Vice
President and Mrs. Hobart and several
invited guests will witness the yacht
races tomorrow from DR.. Webb's
yacht. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Can
adam premier, has rec0nsidered his de-
termination to visit Hotel Cnamplain
while the President is here. and there
fore will not come this week as ex-
pected. He believes that visit at the
present time would cause a great deal
of unpleasant comment.
Secretary Root will arrive here
Tuesday morning for a conference
with President Mckinley. Not only
the Philippine problem, but also the
questions now confronting the secre-
tary of war, such as the situation in
Cuba and Porto Rico and the attitude
to be maintained towards Gen. Miles
will be discussed in detail and a gener-
al plan Of action agreed upon.

otherwise than those made in this
city. Judge Colt, of said court, grant
ed our prayer, and to-day the matter
is in our hands to use it as the law
permits and directs.
Our object is TO organize the cigar
manufacturers into a sef-sustalnlng
board, but all efforts on our part made
in the past have failed to reach that
which we desired, and the opinion OF
those present at the meeting of the
18th inst, was that, if the matter was
referred TO the Chamber of Commerce
that the help of that body might have
more weight and bring the stOgie men
to a realization of the importance Of
the move, as an action taken by an
outside party would probably have
greater effect.
What we desire is to have you call
the stogie manufacturers of Wheeling
together at your chamber and explain
to them the Importance of concerted
action, and endeavor TO get them 10
form an association for their self-pro-
lection; adopt laws governing same,
with plan for raising funds TO carry
the matter along.
The following figures are taken from
the books of the United States internal
revenue Office and the records of Gar
field Assembly, of the National Stogie
Makers Union, OF Wheeling, and viii
give you some idea of the extent of the
cigar business.
The number of men employed in
making cigars in Wheeling is between
400 and 49, This does not include Ire
boys and girls employed in stripping
and otherwise handling the tobacco
and the cigars. OF the latter there
are from 200 to $50.

CINEMATOGRAPH PICTURES.

Large audiences saw the excellent
einematograph pictures of the Fitzsim-
mons-Jeffries battle at Mozart Park
yesterday afternoon and evening. The
different styles of fighting of the two
men, and the method by which Jeffries
wrested the heavy weight champion
ship from the Antipodean, were vivid
ly shown, and the audiences were more
than pleased. Two performances were
given in the afternoon and two at
night. The operator was required to
use another machine for the accom-
panying pictures, on account of a diff
ference in the size of the films. This
exhibit also demonstrated the remark
able improvement in the animated pic
ture machine within two years.

..sou,h Before the War"

A picture of darkey life in the
good old times will be presented
at the opera house on next Friday
night in the production of Harry
Martell's scenic play, The South
Before the War" 1t is a play full
of suggestiveness of those planta-
ton scenes familiar to those who
knew the south in slavery times
The typical southern darkey with
all his eccentricities predominates
in the company, though the realis-
tic portrayal of the white actors
fairly hides their identity. The
play introduces cleverly number
of scenes that are positively life
like, beginning with Under a
Southern Sky" which pictures the
return of an escaped slave, includ-
ing many incidents of ante bellum
days, dancing of every description
and genuine old darkey melodies.
Another scene depicts a darkey
camp meeting, with all the pecu-
liar characters usually seen there,
and all the ceremony, singing,
shouting, and amusing incidents
that are known to characterize
such gathering. Other realistic
scenes follow one upon another
until the audience is fairly re-
freshed with its glimpse of old-time
darkey life, and is finally treated
to a new-fangled cake walk. The
company is very large one, con-
tanning some fifty people, who
travel in their own palace car, and
have as one of the features pick
aninny band of seventeen little
colored boys who head the parade.
