or some other place to secure work in a
laundry. He is armed with the certificate
from the court. which is 10 him a most
valuable document. He can now go any
where without hindrance, and, what is more
to the point, he can sell his certificate to
some other returning SON through the me-
dunn of the smugglers, and thus secure the
return of a goodiy part of the 500 he has
paid out for his own importation.
In connection with this class of smug-
Cling it is curious to note that nearly all
of the returning prodigalS give their age as
twenty-five. A case occurred a few weeks
ago. however, where, through a temporary
lapse of memory, the son gave his age as
fOrty-eight years. despite the fact that his
professional father had just sworn that his

THE plan of beating the law just de-

THE SNUFF TRADE.
Its Present Condition Indicated by n
Statistical Paradox.
From the New York Tribune,

Its Present Condition Indicated by a
Statistical Paradox.
From the New York Tribune
Last year, contrary to the usual run of
the tobacco trade, a large decrease in the
manufacture Of snuff was reported. In 1895
nearly eighteen million pounds were manu-
factured and less than fourteen million
pounds in 1900. On the face of it, one would
say that the taking Of snuff was passing
away with the nineteenth century and the
lingering last leaves who clung to the
historic and unaesthetic practice. AS a
matter Of fact, however, these figures really
show an increase. The average for some
years previous to 1889 was between ten mil
lion and eleven million pounds. The COM
petition of enterprising firms and the
growth Of the industry caused no little
overproduction, which has now been stop
ped by the consolidation Of the snuff man
ufacturing interest. The last year man
aged, therefore, to raise the average of
snuff production some three million pounds,
besides using the surplus of 1S99
So there is plenty of snuff in the United
States. Who takes 1t? An ordinary mortal
probably numbers no snuff takers among
his acquaintances; but, according to deal
ers. this may be because he has no access
to the sanctum sanctorum. 1t is in the east
that the Sale of snuff is most decidedly in
creasing, and, of all cities, Boston seems
most enlnuSldStlC over lll6 RenCl6 ART.
There is a legend that women are begin
ming to exchange silver snuff boxes as
Christmas presents. but this story seems to
bear the light touch of playful fancy But
statistics, in spite Of their evil reputation
must tell a certain amount of truth and
figures declare that New England is now
the happy hunting ground of the snuff sell
Ter. The speculative brain of mathemati-
cal turn may find pleasure in calculating
how long 1t will be before snufftaking as
sumes the dignity Of Boston fad, and
what will be the effect. if any, on the Anti
Imperialist League.
In the south it is less surprising to find
snufftakng. Among the old negroes and
the ''po' white trash the habit is known to
be general, but few realize how widespread
among the older generation Of gentlewomen
is the practice of dipping" or rubbing
the gums with snuff. The poorer classes
use a stick for the purpose, while the man
ufacture of little ivory wands for the rich
is a steady, If diminutive, industry. But
among the we'll to do dipping" is losing
ground for as the old enthusiasts die none
arise to take their places. But dipping
is said to be on the increase in this state.
Certainly the sale of snuff goes merrily
on.
Until recent years New Jersey and Penn
sylvania made most of the countrys snuff.
Last year, however, the output of these
states showed a decline of 1O00,0 600 and
300, 600 pounds, respectively, while Tennes-
see alone gained almost 225, ,000 pounds. In
fact, the industry, while more and more
supplying the north and the east, IS stead
lily being carried south.

Lo, 1t was springi

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man Of
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other dement's for which
similar claims are made, but great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profile. Mr.. Major tells us that
one Of the elements of his cement costs
So rs pound, and another costs $265 a
gallon, while large share of the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents bottle, and when
a dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement And this is doubly true ia
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share Of the benefit Of Mr. Majors aG-
vertising. which now amounts to over
$4,000 a month throughout the country.

more so than you imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes

ARMY CHIEF Is HIT
Grave Charges Are Made Against General

Washington, March 25.-Another
scandal is disturbing the peace Of the

Burlington, the man who was accused
of having surreptitiously brought
charges against young artillery Off
Ger for alleged theft of the plans of

According to letters and other docu-
ments filed with the comptroller of the
treasury, General Burlington in July,

nary feature Of the matter lies in the
additional charge that after the
Driggs-Seabury company had held
control of the arsenal, with its equip

second occasion enabled to manufact-
ure additional guns and shells which
were also sold to the Colombian gov

The firm of local attorneys which
has made the great scandal public de
mands that the comptroller of the

charges can be investigated, and holds
titat the company is under penalties
to the government amounting to $780,
