BOOM FOR RAINEs LAW HOTELS.

Closing of New York Saloons Gives Them Thriving Business.
 New York, April 13.-The New Yorker who wanted drink of intoxicating li- quor to-day discovered that the en- forcement of the excise law through the combined efforts of the uniformed po- lice and the members of the State Li- quor Dealers association had assumed several new aspects. The first was that t while it was much harder than hereto fore to get drink in saloon holding merely liquor tax certificate, 1t was much easier to get a drink in Raines law hotel. The buyer also found that while last Sunday he was served either with a plate of cheese and crackers with his drink or was given sand Wich, to eat or not as he chose, to-day he could not buy a. drink without also buying sa ndwich.
 Saloon men who were seen during the day seemed to think that the police ac- tivity had much to do with the saloons being kept closed tightly, for the most part. and argued that the hotel men were doing more business for the req son that they had been studying what they could and could not do with in- punity. The Raines law hotels through out the city were as a rule exceedingly we'll patronized. persons passing through the doors in steady stream.
 At II o'clock tonight police headquar- erters reported forty-one arrests in Greater New York for violation of the excise law, as against Ill for the entire twenty-four hours of last Sunday.

GROWING OF sUMArnA TOBACCO.
Favorable Outlook for It-Opinion of
 an Agricultural Official.

Washington, April 13.-Professor Mill ton Whitney, chief of the bureau of soils of the department of agriculture
 has returned from 8 trip to Hartford Conn, New York and Philadelphia, where he went to learn the feeling in regard to the Sumatra tobacco grown under cheese cloth coving by direction of the departments tobacco experts. He reports that the interest in this to- bacco leaf Is increasing among the to- bacco trade and says it is believed that it will become sharp competitor of the Sumatra tobacco.
 The leaf has improved very much since it was packed by taking on a gloss and finish that is considered very desirable. It is a well known fact Pro- lessor Whitney says that all such leaf improves very much by standing for at least six months in bales. Boxes of cigars wrapped with htls tobacco after being packed two months were opened in Hartford and the gloss and finish of the wrappers were very much finer than when the cigars were packed, showing that the color is permanent.
 The tobacco is to be sold at auction in Hartford on May 1. It has been classified and a catalogue of all the bales is being prepared for distribution among the trade, especially the cigar manufacturers

BLOOD FLOWS IN BRUSSELS
Continued from First Page )

This happened in several streets It
 was worse in the Rue Haute where the
 occupants of the houses rained missiles
 upon the heads of the gendarmes. An officer of the gendarmes then shouted to the crowd to disperse. No notice was taken of this order. Then, for the
 first time in many years, the gendarmes fired their Mauser carbines loaded with what are called strike cartridges The gendarmes fred only one volley. but. when the mob catered, several bodies
 were lying in the street.
 Two Of the wounded were mortally
 hurt and died while being conveyed to the hospital. Over twenty narrow
 streets and blind alleys lead into the
 Rue Haute, and when the gendt rmes
 charged after the mob other rioters is-
 sued from these alleys and fired revol- vers at the backs of the policemen un-
 til the latter were obliged to leave three of their number at the mouth of each alley they passed. These guards stood with their rifles pointing down the al- leys ready to shoot. Other gendarlnes who were stationed every few paces, covered the windows In the Rue Haute with -heir rifles.
 It is impossible to ascertain the ex- act number of victims of yesterdays rioting. Many who were slightly in- iured had their wounds dressed in pharmacies or went home. The director of the hospital of St. Pierre, however, told representative of The Associated Press this afternoon that three rioters had died in the hospital and that anoth- CT one there was believed to be mortal ly injured. Thirty others who are badly hurt were received at the hospital last night. Among the injured are many imprudent spectators of the riotng who were caught between two fires. as the gendarmes frequently combined their movements and charged the mobs front and rear at tEe same time. A loctor who was returning home after having visited patient, was caught between two bodies of charging gendarmes and had his nose cut off with sword A woman was also among the injured, One of the men killed was the assistant secretary of the Socialist Jewellers union. Only one or two policemen were hurt.
 aspect Of a mob near the Maison Du Peuple, al Il o'clock tonight, called the police and gendarmes to charge it with the result that five of the demon- strators were wounded. One of the in- jured men will die. He received a bay onet thrust in the back. Sixteen ar rests were made during the course of the evening.
 This casualty list for comparatively encounter is taken az evi- dence that the gendarmes, who inflicted the injuries, are disposed to handle the without mercy.
 Tine burgGmaster adopted most vigor- ous measures during the evening The whole civic guard was mobllized and the squares the streets in the vicinity of the Maison Du Peuple were occu-

A SHOWER OF MUD.

An Unusual Phenomenon Saturday Af-
 ternOon.
 About o'clock Saturday afternoon an unusual phenomenon, mud shower, occurred. The shower attracted little attention and was apparently only one of the April showers that appeared re- gently at short intervals. But ladies on the street at the time wearing white waists or white dresses noticed that where the drops struck the white ma terial was colored mud color, and those who made close examination discovered that the drops were nothing more nor less than little drops of soft mud. The phenomenon lasted only about five minutes.

INTERESTING LOCAL INDUSTRY.

One of the catalogues issued by the Elm City Nursery company shows how extensive an establishment in this line has been developed in this city. All who have had experience in trying to procure fresh, vigorous plants from away well know that they often arrive in an unsatisfactory condition. This will not occur if purchases are made from the Elm City Nursery company, for they dig orders fresh from the ground and deliver at once. The nur- series are located at Edgewood, Edge wood avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park, and are quickly reached by elec- tric cars.
 The nursery is go extensive that it requires many acres of land to meet their needs as all the varieties of fruit and ornamental trees, including many choice evergreens, shrubs, vines, roses, herbaceous plants, bulbs, etc, desira- ble for planting in this climate are car ried. One must visit the Nursery to appreciate the extensive stock. Visitors are welcome every day except Sunday
