| It is understood that q large number of

J baccO Company were called to this city
| yesterday to attend a meeting, at which

| The purpose of this move, it is stated is
to use this brad in running others, and
particularly the Charlie Rouss cigar
manufactured in Winchester, off the
| field.
The American Tobacco Company ran
up against a. stiff proposition at Win
chester in the independent factory there,
and the details Of tho battle between the
independent Charlie Rollss cigar and the
'Cubanola' brand OF. the American Tobac-
co Company are well known. 1t looks

J the markets and will be pushed for all it
| is worth.
With reference to the Universal Tobac-
| co Company it is learned that the brands
! OF the. company will be put on this mar
| llet some time this week. a reprcsen-
~tative of the concern is in the city now
| making the necessary preparations It
| was at first intended to put these brands
! here OH the 18th Of the present month, but,
| it is said, the Universal learned that the
| American Company was getting ready to
oppose it, and thereupon the Universal
| FASTENED its steps. The chief product of the
| Universal is a cigarette brand-"Sover-

The Continental Tobacco Company manu-

.Ae Restoration such a "stove-
pipe" whose curling brim seemed to
support it as do wings body of
bird, was called "Bolivar"-this In
honor Of the South American Liberator
who set the fashion and who added his
hat to the weight his head and shoulders
had to CARR.
The great Spanish painter Goya did
portrait of himself in 1887 Goya wears
an enormous high hat which seems to be
made from the skin of hedgehog. Such
a tremendous hat was the mode In the
last years of the eighteenth century.
Eugene Lamis drawing of Alfred de
Musset prominently displays the stove
pipe affected by a Romantietist OF sixty
years ago. And there is nothing ethereal
about the hat.
Finally Edward Detaille, in our day.
dignifies the high hat in his picture,

the Obsequies of Pasteur." Here Felix
Faure, the central figure holds his glossy
'dicer'' as proudly as might a marshal

the Bold, painted by Roger van der way

This admirable portrait Of the famous
captain is in the Musee Condo. at Chan
tilly. 1t proves indisputably that the
high hat is not a modern creation. The
artist has treated the "stove-pipe" with
more care and finish than any other de-
tail of the picture. 1t Is to be noted that
this ancient high hat has no parallel
lines.
The rich citizens of Nuremberg wore
high hats in the beginning of the six
teenth century; so Albert Durer saw
nothing unfit in placing a high hat on the
head of Joseph of Arimathea.
Joseph, wearing a ''stove-pipe" is
prominent figure in Durers celebrated
engraving showing the placing Of the
body of the Saviour in the tomb.
In Durer's equally celebrated compost
ton, THE Marriage of the Holy Virgin"
appears a parsonage wearing a tall hat
that must have been built on the same
block as that of Joseph of Arimathea.
In a picture by Jan Steen a high hat
crowns the head of a Holondish doctor
o. medicine of the seventeenth century.
High hats were then most arstocratc
headgear in Holland.
So the travelling quaclgs who pulled
teeth and literally and tiguratively bled
their patients wore 'stove-pipos' to i'm
