If every tobacco store in Washington
were suddenly called upon to furnish the

Felt Effects Of Excess.

Upon coming to this country several
years since, Count Cassini began to feel
the effects OF such excessive smoking as
that in which he had INDUCED, and suffer-
ed from an acute attack Of nicotine
poisoning that for fifteen days required
the most careful attention of skilled
physicians to prevent a fatal termina-
ton to the alarming Illness.
Since that time Count Cassini aver
ages ten cigarettes day. He has made
some interesting computations upon the
subject These are tc the effect that the
425. coo cigarettes smoked by him while in
China would, if placed ore before the
other in a straight line, cover distance
of thirty-two kilometres. Taking one
kilometre as thousand yards. this would
mean that Count Cassini smoked in five
years and three months fifteen miles Of

It must be remembered, however, that

should it be understood that the feat is

THE FIRST COMBINE.

The earliest form Of trust that ever
existed was undoubtedly the cornering
of foodstuffs by monarchs and their
agents. Accounts of such transactions
are to be found in Asyrian records
dating back 1000 or 5000 years, says the
London Taller. The Romans did the
same thing through their tax farmers,
who laid embargoes on the food sup
plies of their provinces against arrears
Of taxes, and the probability is that
similar operations were also conducted
with regard to manufactures. An
other form of monopolies, known as
trade guilds, has existed from the very
early times, and these, in the Middle
Ages, amounted practically to the cor
nering Of certain arts and industries
as we'll as means of distribution. The
greatest of them was the famous
League Of the Hanse Towns. So close
a combine was this that it possessed it's
own fleets of armed merchantmen and
even armies of mercenaries in order to
guard it's monopoly, length to which
not even American capitalists have
yet ventured to proceed. AS a mat
ter of fact, the British Indian Empire
grew out Of a conflict between trading
rnonopolies of this kind, and India is
ours because the British monopolists
won.

GOVERNOR DOES NOT MEAN
TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW
Stone Says Extreme Measure Is So
Simply Aid Civil Authorities

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 25.-Gov.
Stone was asked today if he would de-
clare martial law in the coal regions
He said:
without discussing the power of the
governor to declare martial law, it
would be wholly unnecessary to resort
to that remedy. The 51st section of
the act of assembly approved April %,
1899, provides that when tumult, riot
or mob shall exist, the commander-in
chief shall call upon the national guard
and he may, at his discretion, order any
number of men of the enrolled militia
to be drafted and may detail or COM
mission officers to organize the forces.
1.-The national guard have been sent
into the coal regions to suppress tu-
mults, riots and mobs where the civil
authorities are unable to suppress them.
They will not interfere with the civil
authorities but are there to aid and
assist them in preserving order. There
is now surplus in the treasury and

The story told by Shoude is that while
in his room at the New York lodging
house he heard a woman calling for
help in one of the other rooms. He
stepped into the hall and located the
calls ias coming from room No. l.
Without hesitation he started toward
the room and undertook to kick in the
door. A man suddenly opened the
door and presenting revolver began
firing. Shoude at the same moment be-
gan running for cover, but not before
one bullet struck him in the arm.
Mr.. Wright, the proprietor OF the
place, was across the street getting
lunch at a restaurant at the time of
the shooting. He returned soon after
ward and found Shoude at a water tap
trying to stanch the flow of blood.
Shoude asked Wright where he could
find a doctor and was told to try a drug
store. Mr.. Wright volunteered the adj
vice also that if houde had minded his
business he probably would not need
a doctor. Mr.. Wright says the victim
of the shooting had been drinking some.
When asked if he was going to COM
plain to the police Shoude said no.
The. man who did the shooting, to-
gether with his wife, decamped from
the place post haste. Mr.. Wright says
the man was a stranger to him. He
was we'll dressed, as was the woman.
The man was smooth shaver and of
medium height and had roll Of money
Of great size. Mr.. Wright says he
thinks. they went to West Superior.
People to whom houde has told his
story say that his accounts Of the af-
fair do not all agree. 1t is evident that
the shooting was done at close quarters
for Shoude's shirt was burned by the
powder.

found, when the curiosities were ex-
amined at the frontier, certain docu-
