Changes That Time Brings.

The only man who was elected to
the Kansas house of 1895 as demo-
crat was John Schlyer, of Ellis coun-
ty. In that house there were "a
republicans, but all of them bore the
name of populist, or fusion. Sch1yer
alone bore aloft the democratic ban
ner. Now Mr.. Schlyer is returned to
the house, and he will find there
about 35 members who were elected
as democrats, and not one in the
body will be known as a populist.

A Surprised Physician.
A dying patient RECEIVERS through the in
terposition of a humble German.

Chicago, Nov. Is.
Some weeks ago DIR. C., a very reput-
able and wfdely-known physician, living on
c. Street, was called to attend a very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found man about
forty years of age, lying in prostrated and
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in a
very alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints were greatly in
famed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight of
the clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patients
body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the mem
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping. Almost Immediately the
grief-stricken ones were addressed by an
humble German. He had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth bottle of St. Jacobs OH. The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli-
cation eased the patient very much; after
few hours they used it again, and, won
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirelyl
Every subsequent application improved the
patient. and in two days he was well and
out. When the doctor called few days
after, he was indeed surprised.

Value of Sunday Rest.

An important contribution TO scien-
tifc data bearing on the necessity OF
Sunday rest from labor has been made
by Pennsylvania railroad official. He
selected two groups Of laborers from
the working force of certain frelgL,-
house controlled by his road. He
measured the working capacity Of each
group in terms Of tons handled daily
for a week. On Sunday one group
rested; the other worked as usual. On
the following Monday the men who
had been continuously at service
showed decrease OF 10 per cent in
efficiency as compared with the pre-
rious Monday. and each day after their
comparative delinquency became great
er. The men who had their Sunday
respite, on the other hand, were as val
liable to the company the second week
as the first.

Divorce.

No one wishes to take anything but
a charitable view Of individual cases
of divorce. No one desires to assume
the functions of judge in such delicate
and generally obscure matters when
presented to ones sympathies in the
circle Of acquaintance. Indeed, toler-
ance on this subject is almost forced
upon one by the prevalence Of that
painful social eXpedient. Tolerance,
indeed, is the rule in America, but
there may be said to be a conviction on
the part of the most tolerant that di-
vorce is ''too good a thing to be spoil
ed" as it is being spoiled, by being, to
put it mildly, grossly oyerdone.-Cen-

NEW YORK, Feb. IL, 1902.

The domestic branch of the leaf mar
ket remains rather quiet. Of course
everybody is looking for good binders,
and in consequence there is strong in
quiry for Connecticut Broad leaf of the
1900 crop. Pennsylvania Broad leaf of
the same year is also in demand. The
scramble for binders, which the Leaf
predicted repeatedly last spring and
summer, is now on, but the scarcity of
these goods keeps the volume of bust
ness down to a mere bagatelle.
Reported sales for the past week show
that some 300 cases of 1900 Connecticut
Broad leaf have changed hands at from
25 to 35 cents, also 100 cases of 1900
Pennsylvania Broad leaf at II to 15 cents,
and $50 cases of 1900 Pennsylvania Ha-
vana Seed at Is cents.
Havana Although the demand for
goods suitable for manufacturers of clear
Havana cigars continues as strong as
ever, as much cannot be said for Rene

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

There is, perhaps, little less selling
for the past week than for the preceding
week. One reason for this is that the
foolish scare has, in measure. passed
over, and many grower wishes some
one to kick him. These week kneed
growers should have guardians appoint
ed to manage the selling. Possibly we
may be mistaken; time will determine.
At any rate, better prices are being paid,
and offers of higher prices refused.

LANCASTER NEW ERA. Feb. IL, 1902.


A week of dullness has gone on record
since our last report. Part of the time
the weather was bad, which may have
had something to do with it, but at the
same time any one much in the need OF
tobacco could have found his way among
the warehouses if the inclination had
been strong. The only sales reported to
us this week were 100 cases sold by Wal
ter S. Bare; "a cases sold to I. Ell. Weav-
err, and 81 cases sold by B. B. Leaman &
Son; in all, 23l cases. For the cores
ponding week of last year the sales were
425 cases.
The buying of new leaf has become
quite lively. Many packers are in the
field, and large amounts are picked up
all over the county. The following lots
were sold in the neighborhood of Stras-
burg: Amos Leaman, liza seedleaf at
615&2c; Jacob Miller, IA seedleaf at &
1c; Aldus Sides, liza seedleaf at 7&2c;

TOBACCO MARKETS.
Continued from ISt Page.
New York.
New YORK, Feb. Is, 1902.


Trading was rather sluggish in the
market the past week. 1t by no means
corresponds with the continued activity
in the cigar industry. 1t was not stimu-
lated by the impulse and push which
keeps the cigar industry piling up its
output. Of course, there is continuous
business going on because OF the needs
of manufacturers; but the supplies are
bought only to fill immediate wants. In
quiries are plentiful for grades that eau
not be duplicated. AS evidence OF the
shortness of certain stocks in the mar
ket, and how that shortness is liable to
affect prices, may be cited in the IN
stance that SO Wisconsin binders were
sold for export last week at 1914 cents
and that 35 cents was offered for the
wrappers. If there is one thing certain,
it is that there will be absolutely no sur
plus of domestic leaf this year and there
will be positive scarcity of domestic
binder and wrapper leaf. No matter,
therefore. how slowly business may drag
along now and for few weeks longer
one day the manufacturing interests will
wake up to realization of the actual
condition of affairs. The sales for the
week of all types aggregated about 2OOO
boxes.
The Sumatra market continues in
mild state of activity; that is to say, Su-
matra is selling steadily by the single
bale. The disposal of five-bale lot is
almost an event. And yet in the aggre
gate the consumption of Sumatra is
growing.
The Havana market is doing fairly
we'll. Old stock has the call, though not
in quantities the trade has been accus-
toned to dispose of. The Havana mar
ket is undoubtedly suffering from the
enormous quantity of cheap trash that
was unloaded on our market after the
removal of the export tax. In a few
weeks, however, the equilibrium will be
restored again, and when the new Rene
dios get into our market the Havana
market will be busy once more. AS for
factory vegas they are and remain in
steady demand.-Journal.
