NEW YORK, June 1s.-Intense excite
ment prevails I'm Little Italy over an al
legged miracle performed at the shrine Of
st. Calogero di Sriacca.
For hours after the report went out Grip
pies Of every description hurried to the
Broom street corner where the altar had
been erected. Finally a parade was or
ganized in which all the devotees in that
quarter marched. 1t was the first time
that the birthday OF the saint had been
celebrated in this country, and the zeal of
the worshipers was excessive.
Men women and children kneeled before
the altar on the sidewalk or in the middle
Of the street and many. were crushed in
their effort to get close to the altar.
The legend Of the saint Is that when the
people Of Sicily were afiicted with a scourge
he assembled a mountain and performed In
Vulnerable miracles.
On the altar Is an image Of the saint in
porcelain in the act of healing a child. The
altar is constructed Of pine. The story Of
the miracle here was that a child. lame
since birth, had been cured while the par
ents were praying on the sidewalk The re-
port spread rapidly. with the above result.

SMOKERS EASILY FOOLED
Vast Amount of Perique Tobacco
Sold, but Only a Little
Raised.

Speaking Of tobacco consumption" said
a diligent user of the weed who knows a
few things about the business, ''if imitation
is the sincerest 1attery in everything, then
Louisiana perique tobacco occupies singu-
larly enviable position in the world Of mild
narcotic pleasures. The annual pr oduction
OF the famous brand of tobacco is between
10000 and $1,000 pounds, the total production
Of the worldfamous vacheries of st. James
parish. Yet II is of record. according to the
statement of a drummer who was recently
In New Orleans that his house uses 2O0, 900
pounds Of peridue tobacco a year as an In
gredient of one of the 'perque mixtures"
supplied to the smoking public of America
Where the perique comes from the drum
mer does not know, but he knows that his
house last year sold perique mixture in
volume sufflcient to account for the disposal
of four or five times the entire production
Of the genuine perique crop.
The term 'perique crop however, is a
misnomer, for perique tobacco is not a nat
lar tobacco is grown, and then treated es-
pecially with the result of what is com
mercially known as perique. The many
limitations with which the public are sup
piled are, 1t is said by experts, virtually
the same in quality and flavor, though not
the same as perique in either the original
natural leaf, nor in process of manipulation
into marketable ways, acetic acid being
used by some commercial houses. whereas
the genuine perique is not subjected to the
influence of any foreign matter whatever"

KEENE RENEWS LEGAL FIGHT
Files New Suit Against Hartman Interests
in Southern Pacific Case
SAYS UNION PACIFIC IlSUsEs FUNDS
Expenditures Declared to He Designed
to Build Up Tramo Through
Omaha at other Lines
Expense.

CINCINNATI, June 19.--In spite Of the
report that compromise had been effected
in New York between the Keene and Har-
riman interests, and that the Southern
Pacific railway suit had been settled, a
brief containing sensational allegations was
filed today by counsel for the appellants.
Twenty-six arguments are presented IN
behalf of appellants to restrain the Harri-
man element from voting the Union Pacific
holdings in the Southern Pacific election.
Among these arguments are allegationsi
%. That the Union Pacific and the South
ern Pacific roads. being competitors, IL .s Was
reason Illegal for the Union Paclnc TO
acquire and maintain control Of the South
ern Pacific by purchasing and Votlns hs
C2 That discrimination has been prac-
ticed in making expenditures on the Central
Pacific, in that twice as much money has
been expended from the earnings OF the
entire Southern Pacific system on the 81
miles OF the Central Pacihc between Xgueh
and San Francisco as on the 1870 miles OF
a. That the immediate purpose of such
expenditures is to make the Union racine
line a direct through route from Chicago
to San Francisco by way of Omaha ana
Ogden, for the purpose OF making II tne
ness with transconinental lines.
(4 That the result will be to give the
Uni linton Psse omaha aaS nd eyer 0sdeh and the
Southern Pacific only the short haul De:
tween Ogden and San Francisco. instead
of having the long haul over Its main lines
from New Orleans.
The pieadings declare that since the
Union Pacific has assumed control OF the
Southern Pacific the system previously in
vogue of keeping accounts of disbursements
has been discontinued and that is impossible
TO give figures accurately. 1t Is estimated,
however, that out OF about $4S, 200 ex-
pended for betterments t2S, 100000 is now be-
ing expended on the 81 miles OF the Central
Pacific between ogden and San Francisco,
$s,66O,OOO on the Southern Pacific between
San Francisco and Portland, $2,2OO,oOO on the
977 miles between Sacramento and Bakers
field, a branch of the Southern Pacific.
