DECLINE OF THE CIGARETTE.

Major George Mccain, one of the
best known tobacconists in the coun-
try, has just given out the surprising
information that there has been great
he says the most remarkable thing In
the tobacco business is the fact that
within two years the quantity Of cigar
etes smoked has decreased 95 per cent.
and where 100 cigarettes were smoked
In 1898 but five are smoked this year.
Major Mccain says this shows the
great power Of public sentiment,
which is strongly against the seductive
little white rolls. The laws forbid
ding their sale entirely in many of the
large cities of the country have had
much to do with the decrease In their
use, and there is no denying that the
crusade carried on by the women ana
other opponents has also had great
effect. He does not believe the dis
appearance Of the cigarette from such
UNIVERSAL uot hiShho thut tht ihhu'h'S
OF the tobacco habit is less general,
and he adds that the only difference Is
that more cigars are being used. The
major says:
Another thing that has killed the
cigarette is the general practice Of roll
ing cigarettes from smoking tobacco.
Another cause for the decline Of the
cigarette Is the universal condemna-
ton of the physicians. or course, the
injury is in the inhaling, and there is
some harm in the secret PREPARATION in
which the paper wrappers were dipped.
ut took almost sixteen years Tor
cigarettes to become of general use,
and It has taken only two years to I'M
do the accumulated practice of six
teen years. The diminution in the sale
OF cigarettes is greater in the cheap
brands than in the high priced. First
ten in package were sold for cent
, each, ten In a ten cent package. Then
ten in a package were sold for a
nickel, and finally twenty in a pack

Missionaries Talk

There was a very large congregation
present in Kawaahao church last even
ing to listen to the address of Miss
Alderman who spoke on the subject
of temperance. The boys and girls of
Kamehameha were out in force. The
remarks of the arOund-the- world mis-.
sionary were translated by Rev. o. II.
Gulick. They we're listened to with a
great deal OF interest and. at the end
of the meeting when people were ask
ed to step up and sign the temperance
pledge, there was liberal response.
Miss Murcutt one of the around-the-
world missionaries now in the city,
was greeted by a very large audience
in the Opera House yesterday after
noon who were present to listen to her
lecture on "Honolulu's Greatest Need"
The opening prayer was offered by the
Rev. A. T.. Cory. The Rev. Silas p.
Perry gave few Introductory remarks,
Mrs. Mcdonald sang the Holy City
and then came the address of the after
noon.
There were in the neighborhood Of
seventy present at the meeting of the
Hawaiian Mission Children's Society at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. f. J. Lowrey

strumental duet by Mrs. Theo. Rich
ards and Miss Hyde and vocal solo
by Mrs. Frear. The speaker OF the

welt. The lady entertained her audi
ence with an account OF some Of her
experiences in a trip around the world.
Miss Alice Woods gave a violin solo

CUT DOWN COST OF
new WAR SHIPS
AND BUILDING WILL GO ON WITH
A RUSH-SOME GREAT
CONTRACTS,

Washington. Jan. 19.-The board of
naval construction has completed the
revision of the specifications of the
battleships with view to bringing the
cost within the figures of the bidders
The electric light plants have been re-
tained in the specifications but by maxi
ing numerous small cuts and reducing
the fund reserved from the total cost
OF the ship on account Of inspection, the
desired result has been obtained ana
President Olcott and Judge Payson, rep.
resenting both the Newport News and
Bath companies, are prepared to &C.
capt the contracts for the ships on the
board terms. Moran Bros, of Seattle,
already have verbally notified Secretary
Long of their purpose to accept the
award in their case. SO that. although
some technicalities remain to be dis
posed of in connection with the con-
tracts, the navy department practically
has concluded the task of allotting the
greatest contract for naval construction
work ever let in the history of the
American navy. if congress adopts the
departments suggestion for construc-
ton in the pending naval bill and pro-
vides for four new battleships and three
cruisers. 1t is not the intention to
formulate new plans but to seek bids oi,

VOTERS MUST OWN PROPERTY,
Quasl-Church Property Must Pay Part
of the Taxes.

Manila, Jan. 19.-The section of muni-
cipal code relating to the qualification
OF electors was much discussed TODAY
before the Philippine commission. The
bill requires voters to own real estate
to the value of five hundred pesos or to
pay taxes to the amount of thirty pesos
or upwards and be males of upwards
OF % years of age who speak English or
write English or Spanish. All are re.
CURED to swear allegiance to the United
States.
Judge Taft. president of the committee,
proposed to amend the bill so as to in
clude men paying twenty pesos taxes
BuencaminO and other federal party
leaders object to the feature empowering
the provincial governors to determine
the legality of the elections OF the local
officers.
The effect of the section covering the
taxation Of church properties will be
to largely put the assessment in country
districts on persons to whom the friars
have nOninaly transferred the large
tracts Of lands which they formerly
claimed to own. The frars left all the
country districts during the disturbed
periods. Large holdings of land and
business property in Manila are owned
directly by the church and as similar
provision for the taxation of church
properties will be included in separate
bill for the civil government of Manila
that question will then be more directly
at issue, a.

SONS OF HERMANN.

The Sons of Herman are preparine for
the event of the season at their mas
querade bail to be held Wednesday night
and the costumes are expected to be just
little bit nicer than Missoula is in the
habit of seeing. and that is saying a
great deal, for Missoula has seen some
elegant presentations. TO add to the
interest the Sons have selected valua-
bic list of prizes that represent over 500
which will be given to those attending
under awards from judges:
The first prize for ladies is u beautiful
toilet set, sterling silver. embracing
everything needed for any occasion: the
second is pair of handsome French
china vases. fit to grace any home; the
gentleman who gets the first prize will
have an elegant set Of brushes and the
second prize winner can keep dry under
silk umbrella until some friend relieves
him. A third prize has been provided for
the homeliest gentleman present, a work
of art that may approximate the ap-
pearance of the winner.
Music for the occasion will be furnish
ed by the Gem orchestra OF eight pieces
under the leadership of Con Meach whose
popularity Of the past has not waned
with the passing of the years.
Geo. Bloom. the popular costumer of
Helena, will arrive Monday to assist

in process OF evolution, is expected to

He thinks it probable. however, that
declaratory resolution could be franz
ed expressing the views of congress
as to the sufiiciency of the constitution
in insurng stable and pacific govern
ment for Cuba, and perhaps laying
down the general plan of turning over
the island affairs to the Cubans as soon
as their constitutional system is put
into practice. In this, however, the
purpose would not be so much to pass
on the constitution as to see that the
United States pledges of a pacific gov
ernment were carried out. In case the
constitution provides for an American
.rrotectorate. or gives other provisions
relating to the United States, special
action might be required beyond the
action OF approving the system pro-
posed. Chairman Knox of the commit
tee on territories expresses the belief
that there is not the sligstast chance
of advancing the constitution SO that it
can be considered at this session of
congress, and he expects Fabian pol
icy by which the Cubans will slowly
perfect their system and the United
states will gradually determine upon
the ultimate relations which arc to ex-
list between this country and Cuba.

HUNTING BLACkMAILERS.
Threatened to Blow Up Home Unless
Bought OF.

St. Louis. Mo-. Jan. 1e-Herman
Schrieber. a wealthy banker of Red Bud.
Illinois. has invoked the aid of St. Louis
detectives and postal inspectors in bring
ing to Justice the persons who wrote
letter threatening to blow UP his home
with dynamite unles he delivered to
them $4,000.
Last Monday Mr. Schrieber received a
letter bearing the Red Bud postmark.
He was told that if on a certain night he
did not place $500, one half in silver and
the other half in gold in buggy and
drive to a certain place where he would
find white lantern and there deposit the
money his home would be blown up
with dynamite.
The address on letter mailed several
days later at the Red Bud Dostoffice by
an unknown man who had been under
suspicion was compared with that re-
ceived by Banker Cchrieber. Both were
apparently written by the same person.
Detectives on the case followed the letter
Which was delivered in East st. Louis
but were not allowed to see the contents.
Mr.. Schrieber has been advised to insti-
tlte proceedings in the state courts in
Illinois.
