CONCERNING STOGIES.

The New York SUMS Editorial opin-
ion ofthe wheeling and Pittsburgh
Products-Some Ignorance Mani
tested.
The fourth annual convention of the
National stogiemakers' League was
held in Cleveland last week, says the
New York Sun. Delegates were pres
ent from Pittsburgh. Wheeling, Column
bus, Cincinnati, Clarion and Union
town, Pa. There are thirty-two stogie
factories In Wheeling alone, and Pitts
burgh and the other places put out an
enormous product. Wheeling made &c.
100000 stogles last year. and millions
on millions more were made in the
other factories. We are a stogle-smok-
ing nation, albeit hundreds OF thous-
ands OF eastern smokers have never
seen stogIe. What is a stogle?
Our learned friend, the Century
Dictionary" informs US that stogie
is a long, coarse cigar" It seems to
US, however. that We hive seen West
Virginia stogles that were not especial
deny Indignantly that stogies are
coarse. The cigar makers are preju-
diced, and perhaps their opinion need
not be taken.
Our own definition Of a stogie would
be "a robust native cigar, the smoking
Of which tends to cultivate frugality.
Not recommended to persons of a
queasy stomach" Men smoke certain
cigars for fragrance and certain others
because they are not so bad: but the
man In the east who smokes stogies is
either philosopher, millionaire or a
person anxious to acquire habits of
thrift. No doubt stogies have their
beauty as well as their use In their own
region. We speak Of the stogies that
penetrate to this town, and more par
ticularly Of the Pittsburgh stogie, the
form Of this plant which seems to be
most frequent in Manhattan.
To begin with. you must have a good
constitution. It is not for weaklings to
tamper with stoEles, ut least, with the
dry Pittsburgh stogies Of New York.
In the second place, do not expect IA
vor. Do many cigars have flavor? The
stogle will burn. Be grateful for that,
and think how much money you are
saving by smoking n stogie instead Of
n luxurious cigar. In the third place,
close the windows Of your house. for
the neighbors are coughing ominously.
Let them cough; think Of what you are
saving, In the fourth place, on the
whole, you had better go into the street
or the park. You will be driven out Of
your house. Such is the prejudice
against thrift. But persevere. The sto-
gle is really branch Of savings
bank.
The late Rev. George Trask. that
TorquemadR of tobacco. would not
have objected to the Pittsburgh stogie.
He would have seen in 1t a high form
Of self-sacrlfice. We have preferred to
dwell on the economic rather than the
ethical side. Smoke and Save" is the
stogie victims motto. Yet there are
eplcureans who dare to wrest the sto-
gle from its legitimate use. II smoke
one or two Of the things once In a
while" said one of this school. "just to
appreciate perfecto better" This is
wrong, The true stogie smoker smokes
for wealth.

thousands witnessed the show from
long-dIstance point Of view. Probably
altogether over $1,000 people saw the
spectacle.
The show Itself was all that 1t had
been heralded. Made up of hfty-one
principal numbers, interspersed with
red fire, bombs. sky rockets, etc, 1t was
indeed a spectacle well worth Witness
ing, and everybody enjoyed 1t. The
portraits In fire were especially good,
and included those of Admirals Dewey,
Sampson and schley and HIS Honor
Mayor Sweeney. Those Of the war he
roes were good llkenesses. but Mr..
sweeney's was not SO good. The Amer
lean flag was beautiful piece. and
brought out the greatest enthusiasm
OF the evening. The Devil Among
the Tallors" was humorous piece that
created general laughter.
The concert was by Mayors band,
and the music on the water was de-
lIghtful. The patriotic pieces were ac-
companled by appropriate selections
from the band. The band was sta
toned on the upper deck Of the wharf

| many Of the obnoxious things would
| have been removed, but we preferred
liberty to prosperity with the loss of
our freedom. No happiness or prosper
| ity can ever wean Ireland from the de-
| termination to become separate ma
| tionality. English statesmen gave no
| heed to Irelands claim for autonomy,
| but through Parnell this question was
lifted from the dust and became the
foremost question in English politics.
The foundation of ParnelIs greatness
was in that he lifted Ireland to a posi-
ton where English statesmen feared her
as menace to their empire. Parnelrs
memory has inestimable claim on Irish
men.
Il desire to make an appeal to the
citizens of America generally, to put
Parnel before them not only as a great
Irishman, but as great man. He was
the foremost champion in Europe of the
principles which are the life Of this ma
tion and which Americans hold dear to
their hearts-the chief exponent in Eu-
rope of the principle Of civil and relig-
ious liberty He was the champion of
human liberty in every land. His mo-
nothing so small influenced him. He
hated the English flag in Ireland, but
race hatred of English, l believe, never
animated him.
Explaining the movement to erect
monument, he said: 1.-The monument
will cost at least $1,000 and the building
will take five years. We desire to col
lect enough here, together with what
we have in ireland, to start the work
In addition to that we propose to put
suitable memorial over Parnell's grave.
To-day it is unmarked, with nothing
but the green sod over it. We think,
that the time has come, after eight
years of silence and neglect, to erect
some kind of memorial. We also pro-
pose to buy the old homestead of Par
nell. We propose to vest the property
in trustees, with no power to the Par
nell family to ALLEVIATE it, but to have
the use of 1t as long as the family lasts
1t is to belong to the Irish people"
AT the close of Mr.. Redmond's address
a collection was taken up and several
hundreds of dollars were secured, but
the exact amount was not known last
night, as the money was not counted.
This morning at o'clock public re-
ception to Mr.. Talon and Mr.. Redmond
will be given in the city hall All the
city officials are requested to be at the
city hall promptly at that hour, as the
two visitors leave for New York on the

Il F4MOUS HOUSE
And How TO Have the Thanksgiving
Dinner Properly Served.

| In those far away days of yore the
prehistoric man had to fall back upon
| teeth and hands when feasting, tear
| ing flesh and other foods asunder by
their natural weapons. Now the feast
| is incomplete without resort to the
famous New Haven hardware empori-
UNI, the John e. Bassett & Co. store for
the equipment of the guest table with
those paragons of excellence in their
| lines--those splendid carvers, the quail
ity Of which is as fine as any under
I the sun, while in all merrie New Eng
land, nowhere outside of Boston, can
such an assortment and such a varied
display be found as at the Bassett
store. The ivory used in making two
sets Of these unrivalled carvers is all
that five elephants in their palmiest
days could yield of this decorative
| bone-so you see these are "carvers as
is carvers." Then to make the state
ment practical in financial point of
view, it may be stated that carvers may
be had from $1.5O pair up to s42 a
set. The dollar and half specimens
will do as much devastation of turkey
as their aristocratic brethren, and they
are good goods. too, and are in great
demand. But this is not all about
carvers, either, for you can have them
with handles made from stag antlers
and many prefer these for their dining
halls, as they are great reminders of
the chase, and perhaps of days in the
Maine woods or the Adirondacks. Then,
too, you can have them with fancy
silver trimmings, if you SO desire, and
this has nothing to do with the 16 to
question You can have them also in
silver, ivory or ebony handles. So all
wants and tastes can be gratified at the
Bassett store.
Then you can find there table knives
with all kinds of approved handles.
Then, too, you can fill that long felt
want as to tableware by consulting the
firms fine stock of Rogers plated ware
of the latest patterns and best styles,
and as to chatting dishes here you find
the high grade lines that are such nice
acquisitions to your housekeeping facil-
tiles. But a glance over the Bassett
store reveals innumerable things, in
Guiding pocket knives by the thousands
that will make a boy who is given one

loud as any one of the Princeton boys
did last Saturday when the Princeton
folks got the game. These are only
one or two points regarding the great
stock assembled at this famous hard
ware store.

A FINE CONCERT
Largely Attended at Hosmer Hall
Fla rtfnrd

Largely Attended at Hosmer Hall
Hartford.
The concert of chamber music given
by the Messrs. Moves Troostwyk and
Schulz under the auspices of the Hart
ford School of Music, at Hosn1er hall,
yesterday afternoon, was q delightful
event, artistic in its every feature and
the very large audience that listened to
the works presented was enthusiastic
in praise
The opening number was trio by
Dvorak entitled Dumky, op.90, a COM
position broken into many movements,
full of strong contrasts, and striking eff
fects. The second number was Beethov-
ems Sonata for cello and piano in A
major. w. Schulz and Mr.. Noyes had
splendid opportunities in this beautiful
and dignif1ed work which they success
fully improved The closing number
was Rubenstein's Trio op. 3D. This COM
position called for strong sustaining
power The applause was spontaneous
at its close. ". Isidore Troostwyk was
highly praised for his beautiful bowling
and splendid tone.-Hartford Courant.
Altogether the second chamber concert
was a great success. The third concert
will be given on the 18th of December.
