BrOwn-0tl0r Notes.

Again an effort Is being made to have
band concerts In Phenix, although after
the severe set back the first attempt re-
ceived, the merchants are beng APP
preached with considerable more eau
ton. Although all OF the merchants
are more or less interested in a venture

tation for money TO carry the project
through. the funds were found to be
lacking in sufficient quantities to war
rant the holding OF a concert. Phenix
has band stand fronting the river, di-
rectly across which is the fine promenade
walk OF concrete upon the principle bust
ness square. Thousands could readily
be accommodated upon this walk and

that organization has been extinct for a.
least six years. Wednesday night will
be selected for the night TO hold the con-
cert. providing enough can be interested
to raise the required amount of money to
hire the band.

to handle the trade in foreign coun-
tries. Nh. Duke gave a magnificent
dinner to his associates and some of
his late rivals and then sailed away
for home. The British press jubi-
lantly announced that a crushing de-
feat had been administered to the
Yankees, and that the latest Ameri-
can invasion had been a failure.
AS a matter of fact the terms of
the peace treaty were as follows: The
Imperial purchased Ogden's at Mr..
Dukes own valuation and gave the
Americans a large, though not a con-
trolling, interest in their company.
1t was also agreed that the Imperial
should have the trade of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland to itself. It was
likewise arranged that the American
company, in which of course the
British had no interest, should re
main in undisputed possession of the
United States. Cuba and the Philip
pines. To deal with the outside trade
the British-American Tobacco Com
pany was formed, with both English
and American directors, but with the
Americans in control. In. other
words, the Imperial surrendered the
entire foreign market to the control
of the Americans and gave them an
interest in it's own business as the
price of peace.

Having achieved a dominating po-
sition in the cigarette, manufactured
tobacco, snuff and Turkish tobacco
trades, and being in a fair way to
assume a similar place in the manu-
facture of cigars, there remains but
two portions of the entire tobacco
business in which the trust is not
concerned. These are the growing
and the retailing of tobacco. There
is little likelihood that it will care to
take up the business of growing the
leaf, and heretofore it has shown no
disposition to trench upon the retail
field. With the knowledge before
them, however, of the vast strides
which the combination has made in
acquiring other branches of the bus
mess, it is not surprising that the,
retailers have been alarmed at the re-
cent appearance and rapid extension
of a line of retail establishments
deliberately fitted up and manifestly
backed by a large amount of capital,
which have spread through a dozen
or more of the principal cities with
in the past few months. They believe
that they see in this the final aggres-
sion of the tobacco tristan attempt
to supplant the small dealer and man
ufacturer. Their alarm is shared by
the independent manufacturers and
the leaf tobacco dealers, who fear the
result upon their business if the sit
uation were to become such that
there would be only one large GUS
toner in the market.
