Richmond. Va, May 3.-Numerous
cigar dealers OF this city are out Of
pocket and temper as the result Of a
visit from a suave drummer for a
Northern cigar firm. The visitor was
introducing new brand of smokers
which would. he claimed. retail FOR 10
cents Apiece.
With each order he gave a machine
which cut the ends and lighted tho

secured number OF orders, but when
mis- brand of cigars was closely ex-
amined 1t proved to be almost worth
less. One party was so fortunate as to
get his money refunded, but others will
have to stand the loss.

The greater portion OF the Richmond
delegation returned to Richmond to-

Gritty OF the Richmonders are ardent
advocates of the Chicago platform.
