ments Concerning Tobacco Com
bine.
New York. Oct. Am authorized
statement regarding the agreement be-
tween the American and British to-
oacco companies was made to-day by
THOMAS F. Ryan, who returned on
Tuesday from London. Mr.. Ryan said
that the statd nents made in several of
the papers~cn the morning after his
arrival, purporting to quote his inter-
probation of the agreement in London,
were inaccurate and in some cases mis-
leading. AS the condition under which
the new agreement was formed he
SAID to-day:
The agreement made between the
representatives of the Imperial To-
nacco Company of England on the one
nand and the Consolidated Tobacco
company on the other, was mutual in
us character and entirely satisfactory
10 both sides. 1t was accomplished by
friendly conference after full consid-
GRAFTON of the interests of all parties
affected. The agreement has an in
ternational character which has not
belonged, think. to any previous trade
arrangements 1t means the
OF an important business in
Great Britain and America for the pur-
pose OF seeking trade hand in hand
throughout the world. My visit to Lon
ucn grew out of an invitation extended
10 me in July last by the directors Of
the British company after several of
the directors had visited the United
states and while here had conferred
with Mr.. Duke, president of the Com
soiidated Tobacco Company, and my
sell, regarding the respective interests
OIL the comprehensive represented The
agreement to transfer to the Imperial
Tobacco Company the business of the
Consolidated Tobacco Company in
england was made for full and salts
factory consideration. The American
company becomes a large shareholder

representatives. on it's board of direc

The Consolidated Tobacco Company
VIII pursue its business in the Ameri-
can held, including not only the Unit
ca states, but Cuba, Porto Rico, the
hawaiian Islands and the Philippines
without competition from the English
company. The Imperial company will
not encounter the competition of the
American company in the business of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, including Scotland and
wales. In the new British-American
company, the British company has one
third of the stock and the American
company has two-thirds. The board of
directors consists of six representatives
OF the British company and twelve of
the American, with Mr.. Duke as it's
president. who remains abroad to per-
rect the organization. This British
American company will take over the
entire business of the Imperial COM
pany and OF the Consolidated company

made is satisfactory to both sides and
equitable to all interests represented -.

rod will suffice for thousand or more
plants. The seeds will not sprout for
two years, and even then, the plant
which appears is small and insignif-
cant. 1t grows but a few inches dur
ing the first two years OF its life. Il
is not till the third year that 1t
branches out into a full grown plant
three small branches of FIVE leaves each
on a stem about a foot high. The
American Ginsens blooms in he spring
with close head of small yellowish-
green fiowerets, which soon give place
to a cluster OF green berries about the
size of peas. These turn red at ma
turity. Each berry contains two seeds.
THE Root.
The root--the part Of the plant used
IN commercials not at it's best till
the plant is four or five years old. At
that age the root of the cultivated
Ginseng is larger and - better
quality than the Wild product--has
reached an average weight of five or
six ounces, individual roots sometimes
attaining TO over twice that. The root
is in such demand among the Celes-
tials that it can be turned into cash
immediately as readily as corn and
wheat, or like coal and iron, 1t can be
kept indefinitely.
The Fronts.
The market price of wild red culti-
waited Ginseng can be readily obtained
at anytime from the regular market
reports of New York or San Francisco.
There are several grades Of the root:
First. First grade is that grown in
the imperial gardens of China under
government control. This IS very fine
quality and sells from $40 TO 5000 per
pound
Second. The second grade. which
comes from Korea, is from SIS to $35.
Third. The third grade which in
cludes the American product, brings
about SO per pound.
Fourth. A fourth and inferior grade
Is grown in Japan.
The price, however, varies, for owing
10 the decrease in the supply of the
held product, which has formed large
per cent. Of our exports, and to the
more complete opening up of China to
trade the demand for, and consequent-
~ the price Of the cultivated article Is
steadily advancing. The profits on
small areas Is enormous. as much as
$4,000 has been realized from less than
half an acre

Patterson captured Col. Bells regi-
ment during the Civil War. Col. Pat
terson said:
You fought that the Union might
live and a union worth surviving must
be held together, not by force, but by
bonds of patriotism. No country can
remain free where men are coerced to
accept it's rule. There could not be a
Poland in the South without a Rus
STA in the North. If free institutions
could not endure in a republic divided
against itself. then, veterans,
the greatest tribute 1 can
pay you is to bring you
the message that in all the South there
is not one man who would, if he could,
deny the flag and dissolve the Union.
We are one people, with one flag and
one destiny. Your valor made this
possible. 1t was the genius of Ameri-
ca, the spirit of free institutions, the
patriotism of the people, North and
South, which wrought the result. Hap
py are the veterans spared to witness
this contamination. What an inspira-
tion to feel, on an occasion like this,
that, if, in the Providence of God we
could, at this moment. communicate
with the shades of Grant and Lee. they
would give us their benedictions

STRANGER THAN FICTION,
Remedy which Has Revolution
lied the Treatment of Stomach
Troubles.

Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a won
derful discovery nor yet a secret pat
ent medicine. neither is it claimed to
cure anything except dyspepsia, indi-
gestion and stomach troubles with
which nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is INF the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges, con-
tanning vegetable and fruit essences,
pure aseptic pepsin government test
golden seal and diastaste. The tablets
are sold by druggists under the name
OF 5tuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Many
interesting experiments to test the d.
gestive power of Stuart's tablets show
that one grain of the active principle
contained in them is sufficient to thor
oughly digest 1900 grains of raw meat,
eggs and other wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and
inflame the intestines without having
any effect whatever in digesting food
or curing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion IL will
very soon recover its normal vigor, as
no organ is so much abused and over
worked as the stomach.
This is the secret, If there is any Sc
cret, of the remarkable success of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, remedy prac-
tically unknown a few years ago and
now the most widely known of any
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured entire
ly upon it's merits as a digestive pure
and simple because there can be no
stomach trouble If the food is promptly
digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten dieestir,p n
completely, so that IL can be assinila-
ted into blood. nerve and tissue They
cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour
stomach, gas and bloating after meals,
because they furnish the digestive
power which weak stomachs lack and
unless that lack is supplied it is use
less to attempt to cure by the use Of
"tonics," pills" and cathartics which
have absolutely no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regu-
lar use of one or two of them after
meals, will demonstrate their merit bet
ter than any other argument.

APPETITEs OF FISHES.
Whales and other Marine Creatures
That Never Seem 10 Tire of Eating.


That Never Seem TO Tire OF Eating.
From the New York Sun.
Did you ever observe" said a nat
uralist, "the remarkable appetites some
fishes possess? Take as an example
the whalebone whale.
These whales live on tellyfsh. They
merely open their mouths and sail
slowly along, taking in jellyfish by
the ton. the mouth of large whale
holds several wagonloads of these
creatures.
But the most pulling feature OF
this enormous appetite is how the
whale ever obtains enough to eat, even
4 III 1t eats every hour in the day Each
or these Jellyfish is supposed to be
about 80 per cent. water, hence only
per cent. of each counts as food.
Whales Of the toothed variety bite
their game. The sperm whale, the
most ponderous of all animals, lives
mainly upon giant squids found in the
deep sea, animals of great activity and
size, some being 20 feet in length and
weighing tons. The whale has teeth
only In its lower jaw. and these are
comparatively few. They are large
and club-shaped and far between. and
1t is said that to lure these deep-sea-
giants the whale opens its mouth so
that the white teeth act as bait. When
Its prey Is within reach the Jaws snap
together. This great whale must be
constantly feeding to even obtain a
fair meal
THE small, or thirty-foot whale or
killer also has an astonishing appetite.
1t Is never satisfied, and as many as
fourteen seals have been taken from
the stomach of one large specimen The
effect band of these insatiate animals
have on herd of fur seals can be i'm
agined.
Perhaps the most interesting In
stances of abnormal appetites are sup
piled by some of the deep sea fishes.
One, as an example, devours fishes Eve
or six times its own weight and size.
The hsh viii swallow just as much as
1t can hold; in fact, 1t does not APP
pear to know when 1t has enough.
Reproduction among fishes is based
upon the general proposition of an
enormous appetite on the part of pre-
datory fishes. Fishes that are mainly
the food of others are born in count
less numbers Thus each herring will
deposit several million eggs. Compare
lively few of these reach the adult
stage.
THE blue fish is an example OF an
appetite that never fails. 1t was estf-
mated by Prof. Baird that there were
one thousand billion blue fish on cur
coast every summer Each blue fish.
putting 1t very low, eats ten small fish
a day. so that Prof. Baird figured out
that it took ten thousand million sar-
dimes to feed these bluefish daily or
in the season Of 100 days they ate
twelve thousand million.
but the blue fish does not stor1
here; 1t eats much more than it needs.
and 1t will often disgorge its food that
1t can nil itself again and again. One
estimate Of the destruction of small
try from this one fish in one season
reached the extraordinary figure OF
three hundred thousand million.
"A curious little eater" continued the
naturalist. sis the hydra. II is always
hungry, and IL you turn II inside cut.
as you can very easily, it eats and d.

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 2.-Intensely
practical, exceedingly useful, but in no

to-day. They consisted entirely of in
struction for the men of the National
Guard in the formation of outposts and
the performance of outpost duty. There
were three exercises exactly alike and
the general description of one applies
to the others
In each exercise a regiment of regu-
lars established the outpost, the off,

spectators When the outpost of regu-
lars had been fully established and the
details of the work made clear to the
officers of the National Guard the state
troops were called up and sent out to
relieve the regulars on the outposts.
When the state troops were complete
ly established on the outpost, an at
tack was made by a small force of cav
airy. 1t was the assumption that the
attacking force was much larger in
number than the outposts.
The National Guard did excellent
work in forming their outposts, the
pickets and reserves being posted
promptly. When, however, the attack
was begun, the National Guardsmen
showed how much the instruction
given at such a camp is needed by
thene No criticism could be made of
their gallantry and their willingness to
fight; it was the excess of these quail
ties that would have brought them dis
aster had the game of to-day been in
earnest.
When the regulars began to push
home their attack, the National
Guardsmen were over-anxious to fight
In many instances they rose from
cover, firing standing or kneeling
and exposed themselves reckless

that could be seen of the regulars was

tinguished above the grass, and their
steady, rapid fire from behind cover
would have worked terrible havoc
among the state troops. The latter
were finally brought more to cover,

themselves with an air of Let me at

natural bravery, as it did for the need
of just such instruction as was given
them to-day.
