CIGARS

should be Of good
quality-either Imported or all
clear HaUana. The average
Holiday Cigar, in gilded
boxes with red and gold bands,
packed to attract the eye Of
some fellows best girl, is not
really dangerous-just simply
worthless. Next to slippers
or a necktie, the intelligent
smoker breads nothing more
as a present than a box Of
cigars selected by womankind.
Women should buy Cigars
on faith from a House with a
reputation for selling smoke
able Cigars only.
HALLS CIGARS costs from
us to $25 per Ioo-and at
almost all prices in between.

sword by Governor vorhees on behalf
of the state OF New Jersey, as mark
OF appreciation OF his, services during
the Spanish war. The preseHta lion
took place in the assembly chamber Of

Ruished audience Of naval officers and
persons prominent In the public and so-
cIai life Of the state. The naval officers

raj Melville, Captains Chadwick, Of the
New York; Taylor, Of the Indiana;
Philip, Of the Texas: Clarke, Of the Ore
gan; Sands, of the Columbia; Bronson,
OF the Yankee; Train, of the Prairiet
Folger, Of the Kearsarge; Delehanty, OF
the Phwnee, and Lieutenant Command
er Wihslow, the admirars flag lleuten-
ant. The naval officers occupied eeata
near the speakers desk.
The formal ceremonies OF presenting
Admiral Sampson with the sword began
with IN address Of Senator ketchem,
chairman Of the Joint committee. He
said that the high state Of efficiency OF
the American navy was due to Admiral
Sampson's skill and ability more than
to any other Individual. The sword, he
said. would be presented by the COVER
nor to the admiral through whose skill-
full invention and wise leadership our
naval victories were largely due.
Governor voorhees,, in making the for-
NAL presentation, said that 1t was his
pleasant duty and great privilege 70
present the sword as the cheerful g1tt
Of the people Of q patriotic state. with
whom Admiral Sampson had for a long
time made his home.
The people Of New Jersey, the gov
ernor said, were proud Of the admirals
services, and remembered his distin-
gulshed accomplishments in time OF
peace,
'The plan Of battle which destroyed
Cervera's fleet, continued the governor,
"was rnatured by your quiet study and
consummate skill, and was carried out
by your fleet without single error."

oCLcather Stock VIII Take.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Interest in the
last heavy transactions in limited States
Leather stocks was Increased to-day
when the announcement was made in
Wall street that q block Of 100000
shares OF the common stock had been
transferred on the books OF the COM
pany last night to John D. Rocketel-
Ter, tr.
The Mail and Express says:
THE transfer OF this bis block OF
stock makes 1t certain that the leather
common stock Is now In the control OF
the RockefelleTs. The outstanding cap
ital OF the Leather Trust Is $l26,O5l 500.
OF which S62, 900 is preferred and the
remainder common. The voting privl-
leges OF the company are vested in the
common stock.
ut is estimated that the privilege of
control Of the common has cost the
Standard OH people between four and
five millions. They probably own or
have the direction OF between $4,000
and 100000 shares This has been
bought in the open market. The trans
actions In the stock on the exchange
this week have been over 100000 shares
daily.
wall stret is puzzled to know what
attitude the new owners OF leather
common will take toward the plan pro-
posed by the preferred shareholders to
abandon the thirty per cent nccumu-
lated dividends on the preferred and re-
duce their dividends to six per cent,
while the common stock holders as a
reciprocal act surrender fifty per cent
Of their holdings to the preferred.

Kruger never intended 70 give anything
approaching equal rights TO the white
races or any acknowledgment Of Bat-
ish supremacy. War, therefore was
inevitable. There hes been an enor-
NOUS strain upon uG We are called
upon 10 bring the war 20 q quick con-
clusion and send acroaS the sea q force
such as no nation in history ever before
sent. This is entirely due 70 the pre-
paFations which made the Transvaal an
armed camp and which not only Sc
cured 1t defensIvs position, but en-
ables 1t to take the offensive against
the large force now engaged. Such q
strain would not be continued forever.
we should have needed q permanent
force Of 25,oOO men in South Africa. We
are told we shall lose South Africa. Our
foreign friends are convinced Of 1t. Tet
they are not happy Such predictions
were made before, and were even cur
rent In the days Of Elizabeth. But I am
NOT alarmed. One great reutonic peo-
pie cannot hold in subsection another
great TeutonIc people, but this has
never been our course. It is impossible
to pretend that the Dutch at the Cape
are crushed by our rule, when they
have all the rights EnglIshmen possess,
and even in individual cases are per-
mltted to talk and write treason What
ever may be the result Of the war and
the premature talk Of the result Of the
present war. does any one imagine that
we shall fail to do for others what we
claimed for ourselves, or refuse equal
rights to the Dutch in the Transvaal
which they refused us7" (cheers.)
Mr.. Davitts resignation was some-
thing OF a Coup de Theatre, as the Pail
Mali Gazette says that some time ago
he told his intimate friends he would
take the first opportunity Of retiring
from parliament. It Is understood that
Mr.. Davitt will return to ireland and
devote himself to literary and journalls-
tic work

a ton therefor, a total OF $6,II9. Attua~
Wits OF a similar nature were made by
