FEWER CIGARETTES USED.
Cigarettes Seem to be Giving Way to
Little Cigars.

Cigarettes Seem to be Giving Way to
Little Cigars.
A wholesale dealer in cigars, cigarettes
and tobacco said yesterday that the de-
mand for cigarettes has decreased with
the last few years. While the demand
for cigarettes has decreased that for lit
tie cigars has grown 1t would appear
from this that many addicted to the use
of cigarettes have been striving 10 break
themselves of the habit and have sought
cigars to accomplish this purpose, in
much the same way that one will trying
chewing gum as a substitute for tobacco.
The evidence of a retail dealer in the
same commodities said that he had OBJ
served a decided dimunition in the con-
sumption of cigarettes of late. Within
two or three years the decrease has be-
come very perceptible, while the increase
in the use of little cigars has caused
some surprise 1t would seem from what
the dealers say that the cigarette has
lost its ascendency and that it is destined
to become less of an incubus than 1t has
been commonly regarded by those not ad-
dicted to its use.
Not the least regret for the tendency
to give up cigarettes was expressed by
the retail dealer. he SAID ne wound De
glad to see smokers turn to some less
harmful form of tobacco. He does not APP
prove of their sale, though he has to keep
them The demand for Turkish cigarettes.
he said, has grown wonderfully. though
they are more expensive than others that
were smoked in such quantities not long
ago. Now, he said, he scarcely sells a
box of celebrated brand Of cigarettes
in two weeks, while two or three years
ago he would sell out a box within two
days.
1t is true. however, the dealer said, that
the number of those who buy loose tobac-
co and roll their own cigarettes has in
creased. Many of the books Of cigarette
papers are bought. Cigarettes in this form
are regarded as less injurious than those
that are ready-made.
Figures have it that there was diminu-
ton throughout the country of per cent.
in the consumption of cigarettes last year,
while there was an increase of per
cent. in the consumption OF little cigars,
which are sold at about the same price.
In cigarettes, the dealer referred to above
said there is little profit for the retailer,
and he would be glad to see their use
fall into still further decline.

MONEY IN PLANTING RYE.

Capt. P c. Clegg of Americas, who
owns one of the finest farms In South
Georgia. has fifty acres planted in rye.
He says that rye pays him better than
anything he can plant and he would
plant more. but fifty acres will produce
enough seed TO supply this county. Last
year Capt. Clegg made GOO bushels of fine
rye and he could only sell $50 bushels.
This leaves him fifty bushels undisposed
of The captain says hereafter he will
plant just enough to make 500 bushels for
sale every year. He gets for this grain
81 rs per bushel. Capt. Clegg made also
2,750 bales of shredded hay, which ne sells
al S12. so per ton. He says this is all he
can sell If he could find a market at
this price for 5000 bales of this fine
shredded hay he says he would raise that
much This hay is made of the corn
stalk with fodder and corn all on. In the
shredder It is cut very fine and then
baled. Stock seem to prefer it above all
other kinds of hay, and the nutriment it
contains makes IT the cheapest hay at the
price that can be had on the market.
Capt. Ciegg has but one price for rye and
hay, and he has for the last several yeans
made more than he can sell.

In the summer of 1893 william Mourey

gro toughs. Joseph Perry was then Sher-

eral months succeeded in causing the ar

ment. Sheriff Perry. who has been out

ned at not being abole to secure the cap
ture and conviction of Edward Sanders

wound. On resum'ng the duties of sher-
iff. the first of the year, Sheriff Perry
looked up the old case. and sent out to
all the sheriffs of the state asking their
assistance. But a few days passed when
he heard from Sheriff Hgginbotham Of
Nassau county, that man answering

Sheriff Higginbotham had the right man.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.

The Boston pilots have recognized the
advantage of a steam pilot boat, such as
Savannah, Philadelphia, New York and
other larger ports have, and will petition
the Massachusetts Legislature to reduce
the number of boats in the service from
to S. and to permit the addition of
steam vessel.
A pilot stated that he believed the new
plan would work to better advantage for
all concerned. He said Boston is the only
port on the coast where open competition
among pilots exists. At the present time
there are eight boats in the service aud
81 active pilots. Each boat is operated in
dependently, so far its earnings are
concerned, although all of them have 10
take their regular turn on the inner and
outer stations. He said the pilots are
pretty nearly unanimous in desiring
combination. and the petition to the Leg
islature is the first step I'm that direction.
The present law requires that there shall
be no less than five boats in the ser
vice, but places no limit on the number.
The competition has been so keen under
the existing arrangement that the boats
have been compelled TO cruise hundreds OF
miles to the eastward of Boston light for
iEcoming steamers. This would be OBJ

New York and New Jersey pilots for

Down

by the government and purchased by
Philadelphia firm, is progressing rapidly,

with dynamite within the past few days
near Fort Pickens. An electric dynamo

more Of the guns and mortars are yet left
to be blown to pieces, and it Is expected
that this will be accomplished within the
course of the next week or ten days. As
fast as the cannon are exploded the pieces
are moved to the wharves for shipment.
1t is necessary that the guns be blown to
pieces,as the vessel will not carry them in
the state that they were purchased, ow-
ing to the fact that they could not be
stored in such a position that they would
not roll in the ship.

France, which killed great numbers, and
as a consequence snails are bringing very
good prices-the unprepared snails bring
ing %25 hundred and those dressed lot
the market 30 cents a dozen.
1t is estimated that during the height
of the season from thirty to thirty-hVe
thousand snails are imported to this city
each week, and the number received dur
ing the entire season, which is limited by
cool weather, varies from ene-half 10
three-quarters of a million.
Most OF the edible snails are imported
from Burgundy or southern France, where
after the grapes have been gain
cred in the large vineyards the wine-meT-
chants turn their attention to the second
crop which consists of snails. These NJ
tie creatures feed upon the grapevine
leaves.
The snail as a food is as popular IN
France as the oyster in this country, and
the French people consume as many ID
one day as they export to this country
during a whole season. IN France
COSTS in the neighborhood of cents
hundred to gather them, and families pay
from u to Is cents a dozen for the OesI
specimens, but when served in Fdrl'
cafe or restaurant they bring as hlsn do
one and a half francs, or about 80 GEMS
dozen. In the New York restaurants
sEails will bring so cents a dozen. lneS

Not long ago a snail-farm was trleo IL
