Mr.. 0. P. Austin Writes to Mr.

Tobacco Sales Yesterday.

Mr.. o. P. Austin, chief OF the Bureau
Of Statistics Of tho Treasury Department
of tho United States has again puI HIM
self in communication with Mr.. L. NJ.
Darlington, Of this city, president OF the
Tobacco Association Of the United States
in reference to the proposition to secure
better statistics. Some time ago Mr..
Austin wrote suggesting the organization
of some sysem for securing monthly
statements of the sales of tobacco in the
various States, offering 10 cooperate
with the Association in getting up the
much-needed figures. Now he writes
again along the same line, urging that
tho matter be pushed. In reply Mr.. Car
rington has stated that he is just getting
matters in shape in reference to the mat
ter, and that he hopes soon to be able
TO take some definite step. Meanwhile he
has asked Mr. Austin to furnish him with
any Of the statistics at the disposal Of
the Bureau.
The current issue Of the Southern To-
bacconist contains interesting news con-
corning the latest movements of the con-

Tobacconist:
THE first news of the American To-
bacco Company's country captures came
by wire from Texas on the I'D to the ef-
feet that the American Tobacco Company
had secured options on all the principal
cigarette factories in Mexico. This runor
may be a forerunner OF facts, and there
arc many things less incredible than that
the American Tobacco Company should
have acquired this option to execute. It
is as plain as it can be that this great
tobacco and cigarette trust is counting

A Challenge to an Author.

Miss Jordan's recently published
"Tales Of Destiny" has been more pro-
vocative Of interested discussion than
any Of her previous volumes, says Har~
per's Literary Gossip. The two stories
in the collection that call for most
comment seem to be "In the Case of
Dora Riser" and "A Collaboration"
Some see in the latter tale q spend
thrift use Of material that would have
made successful novel, while others
regard it's prodigality as the surest
sign Of Miss Jbrdan's prolific imagina-
tive powers and promise Of greater
work In fiction. One New York editor.
remarkable for his sound judgment,
was heard to say the other day that
"A Collaboration" was not only one Of
the best stories he had ever read, but
dared Miss Jordan herself to better it.
It will be interesting to observe how
Miss Jordan accepts this challenge.

WHlSTLCD TEXT IN PULPIT.

Pastor Initiated the Notes Of the
Meadow Lark.
Whistling his text was a new meth
cd that Rev. Vaughn S. Collins en-
ployed in the service in the Asbury
Methodist Episcopal church at Smyr-
ma, Del. says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. DR.. Collins new method was
rather startling to his congregation, for
he is considered one Of the most dig
nified members of the Wilmington con-
ference and for several years was pres.
ident of the Conference academy at
Dover. When it came time to preach
the sermon, DR.. Collins arose in the
pulpit and whistled four times, each
note being an imitation Of the song of
the meadow lark.
The preacher said that on recent
visit to the country he heard a mead
ow lark, and it suggested a very ap-
propriate sermon, as he likened the
song of the bird to the text, "Thou, God.
seest me-" as found in the thirteenth
verse of the sixteenth chapter Of Gen
esis. Following the whistling of the
text DIR. Collins preached an eloquent
sermon and pointed out to his hearers
how God saw and heard repentant sin.
