Expensive Cigars.

From the London Taller.
One reads from time to time of the fabu-
lous sums paid for cigars. A favorite story
is that Mr. Chamberlain never touches any
thing cheaper than a five-shilling cigar,
and that every time Lord Rothschild
smokes ten shillings vanish into the ambient
air. According to Mr.. Weingott. the we'll
known tobacco merchant, all such stories
are the purest invention. As far as mere
quality of tobacco goes, the best cigar in
the world can be purchased for one shilling
sixpence. and anyone who gives more
than this sum is paying for size, peculiar
shape or for some peculiar brand which
is only valuable for its rarity and not for
it's excellence. Those torpedo-like cigars
which one sees in tobacconists' windows
ncased in glass sheaths are mainly traps
to catch the unwary. The most remark
able thing about them is their size and
their startling variation in price accord
ing to the locality in which they are sold.
In the west end they are priced at any
thing between Fl, Is and 15s.: in the less
gilded precincts OF the city they are sold
for U.s. Cd. apiece.

oNE-CENT STORES.
They Have Become Recognized In
stitution in New York.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
When the five and ten cent stores were
established and proved n success it was
supposed that the lowest limit had been
reached. But the one cent store has in
the past few months became an established
institution in New York. Unlike the five
and ten cent stores, these appeal to both
sexes. but only to those Of very tender ages.
The little schoolboys and girls are the chief
patrons of the one cent stores and they
are established in localities as near public
schools as possible.
1t might surprise the average person TO
see the variety of useful and ornamental
articles that can be sold for cent. The
counters and windows of the one cent stores
are literally packed with goods of every
conceivable variety, and when neatly spread
out they make rather tempting display.
The average boy does not know what he
wants when he has a penny TO spend. He
goes into a store of the ordinary kind and
looks around. his eyes grow large and
greedy. and he asks the price of one article
after another, only to find that everything
is beyond his reach.
How much money you got?' asks the
clerk. eXasperated at the childs uncertain
ty and delay. The child holds up a penny
an important sum to him. The clerk shifts
at it, points to small case with half
dozen dilapidated articles in IL and says:
That's all we have for a penny Then
he turns his attention to more important
customers and the young purchaser. With
his penny in his grasp, is neglected until
the tears are ready to appear in his eyes.
Sometimes the clerk takes pity on him and
helps him to decide, but more often he Is
left to himself until he leaves the store In
despair.
The idea of the new penny store is To
make trade attractive to the child with
only a penny TO spend The store is pecul-
iarly his. Huge signs are displayed on
every side announcing that every article
costs Just one cent What feast to the
eyes of the boy with only penny to spend!
He first gaZes into the window and then
goes inside and passes from one counter
to another. OF course, he purchases Some
thing and comes back the next day with
another penny TO spend.

From the Philadelphia Record
Il was on the Paris when she ran on the

years ago. said Philadelphia travelling

my memory, illustrating the slender thread

POLITICAL LITERATURE.
Tons of It Are Being Sent Through
the Mails Just Now.

Washington is at this time and season a
great educational center. Millions of doc
uments. designed to enlighten the voters of
the land are being prepared and shipped
from this city and the government print
ing Office and it's bureaus are hard pressed
to keep UP with the work. The average
citizen does not realize what a vast amount
of educational effort proceeds from the
capital every two years.
Nearly every member of Congress has one
or more speeches delivered by him in the
House and Senate, which he desires to dis
tribute among his constituents They NAV
be remarks upon the great questions of the
day or merely a spread upon some local
subject but the congressman does not think
that he has done his duty unless he plas-
tiers his district or state with speeches If
he did not his constituents probably would
ask him upon his return what he had been
doing down in Washington.
So in every committee room at the Can
itol the clerks are busy inclosing and mail
ing the speeches of congressman. Every
senator and representative keeps list Of
the people of his constituency whom he de-
sres to reach, and the envelopes are ad-
dressed from these lists. The speeches go
through the mails free, of course but il is
quite task to get them ready for ship
ment. They are taken from the Capitol by
wagon loads at time, and for the next
two weeks the mail trains leaving Wash
ington will carry extra cars to accommo-
date the increased traffic.
In addition to the large volume of politt-
cal literature sent out by individual sena-
tors and representatives. the two campaign
committees will distribute this year mil
lions of documents. In the presidential
campaign of 1896 the republican committee
sent out 22,0oO,OOO documents. No such
number viii be distributed this year. but
the total will probably reach several mil
hons. and the democrats will do as we'll
mot how

PEELED to do the work outside the Capitol

residences and there prepared for shipment

The Clerical College President.
rom the Chicago Tribune,

The disappearance Of DR.. Patton means
that the ranks Of the ministerial presi-
dents will be sadly depleted. There is now
Hadley Of Yale, who is a political econo-
mist; there is Eliot Of Harvard, who used
to be mathematician and a chemist before
he took to administering a university: there
is Butler of Columbia who was a student
of philosophy and pedagogy; there is James
Of Northwestern, another political econo-
mist; there is Angel Of Michigan. whose
academic speciality was modern European
literature; there is Northrop of Minnesota,
q lawyer; there is Jordan Of Leland STAN
ford. a zoologist: there is Wheeler of Cali
fornia. Grecian; there is Schurman of
Cornell. philosopher; there is Remsen of
Johns Hopkins, a chemist there is Hall of
Clark. psychologist; and so on
All over the country the tendency toward
lay presidents is unmistakable. Faunce of
Brown is a minister and Harper of Chicago
used to be professor of Hebrew In a theo-
logical seminary. These men are at present
the most notable exceptions to a general
rule.

Track Laying by Machine.

A new machine for laying railroad tracks
is being used in Pennsylvania It has
proved itself capable. with a crew of forty
men, of putting down two miles Of track
in day. The tracklayer has huge crane,
sixty feet long, which projects forward over
the road, and 1t hauis behind it a train of
sixteen fiat cars loaded with ties and rails,
A continuous double line of the latter
moves forward over rollers and carries the
ties with it. Both rails and ties are seized
at the proper point by the machinery and
placed on the road In front of the train.
where they shortly form part of the track
over which 1t passes. This device il said
to be the most rapid and the most economi-
cal mechanical tracklayer invented.

From the St. James Gazette
good story is told of an Irishman. more
patriotic than clever. who enlisted In one
of the smart cavalry regiments. The fenc-

dificult Job In the matter Of explaining to
him the various ways of using the sword.

reason of taking off the tariff duties
on live animals and dressed meats.
How will it be next year, when there
has been no shortage in the corn
crop, and when normal conditions
and prices prevail once moree Shall
we then restore the Dingley tariff
rates on live animals and dressed
meats? Shall we tinker the tariff
every time prices 60 up or down!
No, no; that will not do at all. The
free trade, mugwump and occasional
Republican school of theorists would
never stand for restoration of the
Dingley rates.
But what about the American
farmer? When prices of meat on
the hoof and on the butchers block
have once more regained an average
level, what will he say as he sees
coming over the border vast herds
of cheaper cattle from Mexico and
Canada, while shiploads of foreign
meats come in duty free from Aus
tralia and Argentina In 1896
spring lambs sold in Omaha at So 50
per head. That was after two years
of tariff tinkering on free trade lines,
of low tariff and no tariff on live
animals and meat. To-day the same
lambs sell for $3.50 per head. Val
ues of edible live stock have chang
ed in nearly the same proportion all
along the line. That is after near
| ly five years of Republican tariff pro-
lection. Will removal of the tar
iff that hits agriculture and does not
touch manufacturing, mining, &C.,
strike the American farmer favor
ably? Will it strike the general body
of American producers and wage
earners as The fair thing, the right
thing to do? Probably not. Vel
low thinkers who have hit upon tar
iff smashing as the remedy for high
prices of meat would do we'll to try
another think or two.-Economist.

Troutman and Bailey.

THE Bailey men have been rid
iculed from the start Of the gu,
i bernatorial campaign for their
great powers in the line of fig
ure expansion. Some of the criti-
cism was doubtless just, as enthusi-
astic friends are very liable to mag
nifty the strength of their favorlte.
But now the Troutman side of
the contest have seen the figures of
the Bailey prognosticators and gone
them one better. The Topeka Her
aid, in its issue of May sd, gives a
purported statement of the standing
of the various candidates, in which
it gives Troutman 3o7 positive votes
and Bailey 500.
That is about like the claims
made by the Troutman men on the
Crawford county delegation. The
friends of Mr.. Troutman claim 40
votes from that county, when the
facts are, the Crawford county dele
CATION is almost solid for Bailey.
Mr.. Troutman is one of the best
men in the state, and of most excel
lent executive timber, but figuring
by the rule of assumption will not
put him in the executive chair.
The Herald had better revise its
figures and 60 to digging for few
more delegates among the counties
yet to elect.
There can be no question but
that Bailey is decidedly in the lead
at present and all the indications
now are that he will be our next
governor, notwithstanding the Her
aid can almost figure Mr.. Troutman
safe right now.
The strong probabilities are that
Mr.. Bailey will be nominated on
the first ballot.
We give below our guess as to the
present standing of the various can
didates, and believe the future will
show that we are nearer the facts
than the Herald:

A SMOOTH OLD GUY.

Bill Dobbins was a smooth old guy;
Bill Dobbins he was wise.
He started ont in business and
Commenced to advertise.
He didn't have much money, but
Old Bill was long on sense;
His advertisements were not daubed
On barn or bridge or fence.
Not much; for Bill was up to snuff.
He knew thing or two.
He went to see the printer man
The proper thing to do.
Says Bill: II want to buy some space.
Iwant to make talk
And tell the folks of Bumbletown
Some facts about my stock"
And then and there Old Bill commenced
strenuous campaign.
In every issue lads" appeared
And added to his gain.
Old fogy merchants chewed the rag
They said he wouldn't last;
But Old Bill's 8 use of printers ink
Soon had them all outclassed.
Old Bill is now on Easy Street.
The fogies all are sore.
Their trade Is getting punky, while
Old Bills grows more and more.
They say they do not understand
How Bill cuts such dash.
They have not learned that planting lads
will raise crop Uf cash.

Admiral Sampson Dead.

Last Tuesday evening, Admiral
Sampson died at his home in Wash
ington. For some time he has been
in a failing condition and his death
was not unexpected.
Sampson was a naval officer who
was fully trusted at all times for his
courage and cool judgment under
all circumstances. He was one of
the men who added luster to the
American navy.
