FURAY WAS FINED $50
He Had Refused to Support His
Child.
WIFE LIVED ON CHARITY
She Had Asked Him Three Times for
Money to Support Their Child,
but File Refused to Give
Her Any.
WIFE LIVED ON CHARITY

The case of Herman Furay. charged
with refusing to support his child, came
up for hearing last evening in Judge
Bolands court. The charge against
Furay was brought by his wife, who
accused him of refusing to support
their 15-months-old son. She alleged
in her testimony that her husband had
LETT her on Nov. Is, 1898, and that since
that time she had asked him three
times for money with which to support
the child, but each time he had refused
to give it to her. She, said that she
would not have asked him for any had
she been able to go to work, but she
found she could not work, as she is
toe. weak at present. Mrs. Furay, when
asked how she got along since her hus-
band left her, said the neighbors had
given her food and that she had re-
ceived $8.75 from her husband.
George Vordehl, neighbor of Mrs
Furay, was the next witness called. He
testified that Mrs. Furay had gone sew
eral times to see her husband and made
upon him demand for some money
to support the child, but each time her
request had been refused. He said that
Furay was carpenter and was get
ting a salary of $3.50 a day. The wit
ness said that the woman had sup
ported herself and child by the charity
Of the neighbors. In his opinion, the
woman was not in condition to 60 to
work.
. The last witness to be heard was the
accused. He testified that he was a
carpenter and was employed by a Mr..
Carven. When at work, he received
$3.50 per day. When he left his wife
he moved the furniture of the house
from where they were living at the time
to house at 40 Ash street, where his
wife at present resided. He in turn
went to live in a cabin by himself. He
left his wife on Nov. Is of last year,
and during the time that elapsed he
gave her s1025, which sum included the
$1.50 he had paid for the moving of the
furniture and half cord of wood,
which he had bought for her. He had
gone often to see his child at the resi-
dence of his wife. He admitted that
his wife had gone to him where he was
working and had asked him for money,
saying that she wanted to buy food ana
clothing for the child. She had asked
him three times, but each time he did
not give her any. as he had none at the
time. He told the court that he had
offered to support his child and really
could not have given any more than
what he had offered for the support of
the child. Judge Boland fined Flu
ray $50.
Attorney Sawyer of Sawyer & Walsh
gave notice that they, would appeal and
security would be given for Furay's re-
lease.

But the u. S. Tobacco Joural thus be-
means the smallness of the profits in
in the leaf business at present:
Our cigar leaf trade is enjoying, in
common with all other trades, very
active and brisk business. That's un-
doubtedly fact Not for years has the
volume of business been so large, has
everything in the line of cigar leaf found
such ready sales, have stocks been de-
pleted so thoroughly as during the past
few months. The close of the year will
find many>a packing house bare of a
pound of tobacco, and many a jobbing
house will have hard task to find suffi-
cient supply to keep it going till the new
crops are in merchantable condition.
And there is not cloud on the horizon
to disturb this serene situation. No
failures and no prospects of any. For as
long as manufacturers and .jobbers
are busy and have more orders on hand
than they can possibly fill, they will not
default in their obligations, and the
rognes and scamps who are bent on
fraud pure and simple are happily only
few and far between. Nevertheless, the
cigar leaf trade is not happy. Each and
every one of its members has string to
his satisfactory expression on his volume
of business, and the string is sigh as to
the smallness of profits. ''If we only
could get better prices,' is the general
refrain.

The month which closes tomorrow has
been satisfactory one with the trade.
1t is admitted that close figuring has
been the rule throughout the season,
but the value of business actually done
more than counteracts the small sacrl-
fees which have been made in the way
of small margins Although the best
tobaccOs were pretty we'll picked up
when the present month set in, sufficient
lots of suitable leaf have been found to
sustain fair degree of activity. Manu-
facturers who have used nothing out
Connecticut binders for years, are now
compelled, because of the scarcity OF
these goods, to look elsewhere for sup
plies. They are, therefore, clamering for
"picks" from the binder grades OF other
sections, especially Wisconsin; but pack
ers do not seem to be pleased with the.
"many called but few chosen" method OF
buyers, even if they do get what appears
to be a high figure for selections. fair
activity has characterized the market,
this week, Wisconsin and thinner Span
ish being the largest sellers.
Havana Trading in this city has been
done on moderate scale during the past
week. One or two houses have been
fairly busy, but the business of the ma
jority of the importers has been done
chiefly in Havana. An importer, just
returned from the latter city, said today:
Il predict that by the last of December
the tobacco unplaced in Havana, suit
able for this market, will not be suffi-
cient to keep one good sized factory going
for six months" Prices remain high
and firm.

acterized the market for the past two

The boom in every line of business is
carrying the tobacco men along with it.
The large centers of the tobacco trade
all report an almost nprecedentedly
good business, while the wide-awake
trade papers report that the leaf outlook
grows brighter every week, with very
large volume of trade. The same con
ditions of trade prevail almost every
where, and our own market is no excep-
ton. Many goods have been sold here
during the past year, and the sales from
week to week give promise of a lively
future. The following sales have been
brought to our notice: [. FL. Weaver
sold 2OOcs, M. M. Fry sold 360cs, A. D.
Mann sold 550cs, Bitner & Campbell sold
250cs, Isaac Stirk & Co. bought SECS and
S. N, Mumma sold 300cs; ,842cs in all.
For the corresponding week of last year
422cs were sold.
Buying of this years crop still con-
tinues, and the bulk of the crop has now
been lifted. In some parts of the country
unsold lots are becoming scarce, while
in others there is still plenty awaiting
buyers. Some refuse to sell until the
goods are stripped and the buyer can
see what he is getting.

The work of asserting and packing to-
bacco is now in progress all through
the valley. In many cases it will be
placed at once in the sweating rooms
and force sweated, and such will offered
on the market. The '98 tobacco, both

a number of hands, as does l. A. Crofts.
At Hatfield and North Hatfield the work
is going on. The quality of the leaf is
highly commended, as sound, free from
damage, and very desirable, and many
will force the sweat. We intend to visit

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The buying of the 99 crop has pro-
gressed so rapidly the past month that
it seems like fair estimate to say that
very close to three-quarters of the crop
has already been contracted for. That
the momentum of a lively campaign
should have cleaned up SO large a por
tion of the crop is a matter of surprise
in some quarters or i'll fact scarcely pre-
dicted few weeks ago. Well informed
tobacco men were certain that in view
of the advanced prices paid for the early
purchases, and the general tendency of
growers to hold their tobacco at strong
figures, the great bulk of the crop would
necessarily be assorted on the farms. 1t
is easily now to see how they were mis-
taken. in their reckoning. They had
miscounted an element in the trade who
were willing to concede that better
prices could be offered the producer
without lessening the chances of the
packer at the other end of the transac-
tion. There are several large operators
in Wisconsin leaf who have remained
out of the deal SO far on the plea that
too high prices prevailed. But their
absence is seemingly not felt in the
movement which has gone along without
them. The outlet for Wisconsin leaf is
now so large and varied there is always
plenty of people in the trade ready to
absorb the product and the men who do
not move with the procession are crowd
ed to the rear. In many respects the
movement of the crop this season re-
sembles that of a year ago, and the 81
too, for that matter, when the remnants
of the crop brought full average prices.
There are many indications present that
the market price of the 99 having been
esta ablished the remainder of the crop
will bring the growers about the present
quotations. Packers not willing to pay
these prices will probably not do much
business.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, December s, 1899.

While the buying of the new crop has
not been as brisk the past week as the
previous one, there has nevertheless
been a good deal of tobacco contracted
for with buyers enough yet in the field
to carry the movement along without
much tagging of the market. 1t is con-
ceded by we'll posted dealers that by far
the greater portion of the crop is sold,
some claim that fully three quarters has
passed from first hands already. Some
new buyers are continually getting into
the movement and even if the present
rate of buying continues large slices of
the unsold portion are being Tapped off
each week. Prices are pretty we'll main
tanned and very little tobacco That passes
for any thing like choice selections can
be contracted for under 7c, while fancy
lot readily brings much more. The bulk

ernment derives from the tobacco in
dustry. The total revenue receipts from
tobacco we're over fifty-one million dol
lars Added to this the ten millions re-
ceived from duties on tobacco, our gov
ernment derives larger revenue from
tobacco than any government on earth.
The output of cigars for the fiscal year
amounted to just about 4,500,O00,O0O,
and We import during the same period
quarter of million over 32,00O,O00. The
output of little cigars was 47,4l5,520.

We desire to call the attention of the
trade, and especially the tobacco grow
ers, to the Importance of preserving ac-
curate records of the acreage, yield, etc,
of the 1899 crop, which they will be
called upon to furnish to the census EMU
merator next June. 1t will be compare
lively an easy matter to prepare this in
formation now, or as the crop is weighed
out, and to lay it away until called for,
but if the matter is neglected until next
summer it may prove difficult, if not inn
possible, to furnish correct report at
moments notice when other duties are
pressing.
When it is remembered that our sta
tisties for the next ten years must large
ly be based on these reports of the crop
of 1899, the Importance of correct figures
is self-evident, and we trust that our
readers will at once arrange to do their
part in making the census returns of
1900 what they should bean accurate
and valuable record of the crop of 1899.

A curious legal point was decided
in the reign of Elizabeth at least,
SO the story goes. A country gentle
man bequeathed his estate to his
eldest son and e10 to the younger.
He had only two sons, who were
twins. The firstborn claimed the es-
tate, but it seemed that he had been
round the world with Drake, and so
had lost a day on the voyage; hence
the lawyers, sly rogues, assured him
that his brothers claim was the
best and, the adventurer acquies-
cling in the decision, departed on his
