New York, February 23.-American
tobacco showed pronounced strength
or the stock exchange today and ran
up IL points over Tuesdays closing. on
the announcement by a financial news
bureau hat they had information from
an undoubted authority that a deal be-
tween the American Tobacco Company
and the Union Tobacco Company and
Liggett and Myers was practically con
summated last week.
The details were refused for the pres
snt, but agreement, SO the bureau un-
derstands, was equivalent to an actual
consolidation OF all the interests named
and meant that the monopoly of the
tobacco business had passed into the
hands OF the American Tobacco Com
pany.

District OF Columbia team, fired the
last shot of the match. Georgia had
finished with total for both ranges

team had 1,001, and Dickey's shot had
to be a bull's-eye to tie the score. He
made II, and then the spectators broke

out of breath. AS Dickey's shot tied

Thousands of Visitors in North Carolina
Mountains.
(Asheville Citizen, Asheville, N. C)
The mountains of Western North Carolina
have indeed been a refuge this summer.
From every state south Of Maryland and east
of Ohio the tourists have poured by the
thousands and to-day the counties west of
the Blue Ridge in North Carolina are thronged
with visitors who have fed from the torrid
rays Of the sun in the home land to the
shades Of these great mountains.
The cooling waters Of the French Broad,
SwsnnanOa, Davidson and Mills rivers, the
Pigeon, the Tuckaseege, the Tennessee,
Hiwassee, Nantahala, Toe Cane and other
rivers and creeks have been sought by the
invalid, the pleasure-seeker and the sports
man, and from the Blue Ridge to Smoky
Mountains every mountain glen, and gorge.
and valley, and country side has been filed
with those looking for cooler spot deeper
shadow.
And none have been disappointed. There
has not been night this summer, between
Mitchells Peak and Chunky Gal, when sleep
was not comfortable under more or less cover
ing.
1t seems safe to say that between $1,000 and
25. 900 people are now in our mountains and
still they come And this throng increases
as the years go by. What formerly was con-
fined to Asheylle has now spread until it
covers everyone of the IL counties lying west
Of the Ridge, to say nothing Of the half dozen
OF more on the eastern side Of the mountain.

NEWARK is evidently the fortunate
possessor of some citizens who are
Americans of German descent, and
not German-Americans distinctly
different thing. Having gathered in
convention this week, these good
people proceeded to reprehend any
attempts to create ill-feeling between
Germany and the United States
which was ali right if they really
think such attempts have been made
and then they put themselves on
record to the following effect In
case of war between the two countries
we will devote our means, and, il
necessary, our lives, to defend our
country, the United States OF
America" About that, to use a dear,
though somewhat haggard phrase,
there is no uncertain sound.

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Sky Is stiii oioudless ana No bisauiet

Ing Change Has Come,
New York, Sept Or. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The sky is still cloudless and no dis
quieting change has come during the
week. In spite of more warlike news
about South Africa the Bank of Eng
land behaves as If the worst possible
had been fully provided for, and this
country has no reason to fear trouble
from that source unless English mar
kets have $50 overloaded as to need
help. The marketing of domestic pro-
ducts both farm and manufactured,
continues surprisingly large for the
season. The new possessions, taken
together, are returning in revenue al
ready more than it costs to clean and
govern them. The west and south
still behave as If it would be inn
pertinent for New York to offer money
for crop moving, and are still bidding
for commercial loans here. Failures
are few, strikes scarce and readily set
tied, and the passage of Sept. / with
out pressure means reasonable safety
for months ahead.
Bradstreet's review says: Strength
of staple prices, activity in fall de-
mand, large railroad earnings, reports
of heavy lake traffic and of activity
in leading industries are the features
none of them necessarily new, but still
presenting themselves in the trade sit
uation this week. Expansion in fall
demand is perhaps most notable at the
leading western and northwestern
markets, but advices from eastern mar
kets furnish evidence thar active in
terest is manifested at these centers
The prices situation is one of notable
strength
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1899-09-09

IT is not a difficult matter to deter
mine upon which side the patriotic
people of the country will take their
stand upon the question of expansion
and the conduct of the war in the
Philippines. A glance at the names
of those who are most blatant in their
denunciation of Mckinley and loud
est in their approval of Aguinaldo
and the Filipinos who are shooting
the American soldiers, will be suff.
cient inducement for the law-abiding
and liberty-loving people to stay out
of such company.
