END OF THE MANEUVERS
REGULARS AT CAMP YOUNG FOUGHT
AGAIN YESTERDAY.
To-Day They VIII he Reviewed and
TO-MOrrow They VIII Return to
Their Regular stations.

CAMP YOUNG, WEST POINT, Ky, Oct.
13.-With Gen. Joseph Wheeler as one of
the spectators the last of the maneuvers in
the war game at Camp Young was held to-
day. Tomorrow the 5000 regulars still in
camp here will pass in review before Gen.
eral Bates and on Friday the various COM
mands will return to their stations.
To-day's work, while interesting. did not
develop many situations calling for the exer-
else of strategy. II consisted of an attack
on a prepared position held by a Brown
force consisting of three troops of cavalry,
a battalion of infantry and a battery of
artillery commanded by Major Biddle. Major
Biddles men threw up kneeling works COM
handing three roads and a stretch of open
country. The attack was made by the Blue
force commanded by Major Bell and con-
sisting of five battalions of infantry, a regi-
ment of cavalry and the Twentieth Battery
of artillery Major Bell opened the attack
with his artillery at 1,5OO yards and bring
ing the infantry up in escholon, firing by
rushes, attempted 10 flank the earthworks
with the cavalry (dismounted) The at
tempt was not successful and the umpires
were mainly concerned with estimating the
effect of the fire of the opposing forces and
the modifying effects of the earthworks and
the cover taken by the attacking force The
position was very strong one and the at
tack was very we'll delivered. According TO
the rules of the game the attacking force
was halted before it came into actual con-
tact with the Browns.

known local tobacconist During heavy
rainfall or foggy weather, 1t is almost i'm
possible to keep a stock of cigars dry
enough or in prime condition for smoking
This Is owing to the fact that the walls
of buildings perspire, as we say-that is.
they become wet and remain so until the
weather let's up and the sun comes out to
dry them. During rainy weather. there
fore, cigars become damp, and that makes
them look as though they were new, or
green. In such condition they do not
burn freely and smoke evenly. Then, too,
a radical change takes place in the flavor of
the cigar. Under ordinary conditions cigars
that have a delightful aroma become
strong and decidedly disagreeable to the
taste and frequently bite the tongue before
they are smoked to the tip. Customers
ignorant of these things blame us for SELL
ing them bad stuff and accordingly shift
their patronage to another place.
There are many ways to tell a good
cigar from bad one. A reliable method

blotches, or is of a sticky yellow ii is an
infaliible sign that the wrapper is made of

ever, is advantage in the selling.

EXCESSES BY STRIKERS
RIOT, PILLAGE AND INCENDIARISM
AT ADVENTURES, FRANCE.
Houses Raided, BOnflres Made of Fur
stroy EmplOyers' Factory.

ARMENTIERES North France, Oct. b.
This town was to-day given up to riot,
pillage and incendiarism as consequence
of the weavers' strike Nothing this morn
ing foretold the serious disturbances about
to occur, but at noon the strikers, not re-
ceiving answers to their demands from the
employers, broke out into the widest ex-
cesses. A mob of 5000 gathered in the
great square and urged the troops stationed
there to throw down their arms, shouting,
Down with patriotism
The rioters then spread through the prin-
cipal streets, breaking the windows of the
stores. dragging out the huge display rolls
of linen, which they stretched across the
streets with the object Of impeding the
advance of cavalry. They wrecked shops,
sacked the houses of persons obnoxious
to the ringleaders and attacked the banks,
in TWO of which they succeeded in stealing
a few hundred dollars from the tills. One
gang set fire to large quantity of linen
in the cellars of the Becquarts factory,
others broke the windows OF houses and
threw inside burning straw The troops,
hampered by the Instructions thrown in
their way by the rioters were for a long
time unable to disperse the mob. Finally
"a determined charge by lancers restored
temporary quiet
After dark the rioters tore up the sewer
gratings and paving stones and stretched
wires across the streets. Women brought
piles of empty bottles for use as missiles.
while boys swarmed up the lamp posts and
extinguished the gas jets. In spite of the
efforts of the Soldiery the rioters then pro-
ceeded TO sack the houses, dragging out
the furniture, saturating it with petroleum
and setting fire to Ii in the street. Fire
was put TO two houses belonging to the
strikers employers and one big factory.
The local brigade, being inadequate to cope
with the fires. an urgent appeal was sent
to the neishboring town of Lille, whence a
steam pump and reinforcements of firemen
were sent.
By midnight. however, the troops and
police had gained the upper hand and dis
persed the mob The streets are now de-
serted, except for the armed patrols. The
authorities are taking measures to ascertain
the names of the ringleaders in the riots.
AS result Of the Intervention of the
project, the strike leaders have decided TO
submit the employers terms to a refer
endum of the workingmen tomorrow.

PRIVATE BALLOONS.
Sir Vincent harrington Tells of Their
Use by the British Aero Club.

Boston Transcript.
Sir Vincent harrington, the en-
thusiastic amateur aeronaut, says that
England Is far from being the best coun-
try in the world for ballooning by anna
teurs, for the reason that with water all
around il there is little opportunity for
aerial fights in certain winds without be-
ing blown out to sea. Whenever the aerial
the mouth of the Thames, after rising over
London, they descend again as soon as pos
sible, knowing that otherwise they will
soon be over the water. 1t is possible, how
ever to cross the English channel in a
balloon in fair northwest wind, and the
trip has been made by several of the Brit
ish amateurs. They have their aeronauts,
however. much as the automobolists have
their chauffeurs.
Balloons such as those used by the Eng
lishmen cost about $50, are made of silk
and are good for about two years, although
they will sometimes last, with care, for
three or four years Sir Vincent remarked
in his conversation the subject that he
much preferred to make an ascension in a
two-year-old balloon than in one which
was more than three years old. The silk
is very delicate In texture, and the club EN-
ployes dry and repair a balloon very care
fully after each ascension. Sir Vincent
says that ii is great strain on a balloon
TO navigate against the wind, and that in
the same way there is more strain on a
captive balloon than on one which rises
free. He himself regards an ascent in a
captive balloon fully dangerous as Il
go up IN a free one. The danger comes
largely from possible rending of the fabric
The best balloons are now made in Sec
tons, just as ships are made less liable
To sink by being constructed in compart-
ments.
1t is not possible TO guard completely
against rending. for the expansion of the
silk in coming into the sunlight after con-
tracing in the intense cold OF a cloud makes
a great strain on the fabric. Another
trouble of the amateur aeronaut is the
water, which often forms by condensation
in hollow on top of the balloon when
passing through a cloud. If there is only
a little of this its weight makes differ
ence. and If there is much of il the balloon
is often forced downward some thousand
feet by the extra weight.
Sir Vincent does not regard the ascent
in an ordinary balloon as very dangerous
although he admits that n sky voyage in
an airship is good deal of a hazard In
ordinary balooning he says the principal
thing 10 be acquired is skill and judgment
I'm handling the balloon. Each balloon takes
up. as a rule. three bags of sand ballast
containing sixty pounds each. and the trick
is 20 navigate without being obliged 10
throw out more than two-thirds of this be-
fore making the desired landing. The last
third Is usually needed to make the aerial

TRIED TO BURN A THEATER.
Confession That Involves the Star O.
the Leonard Scarlet Company.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 13.-Charles T. Bev-
ans, of this city, Waterman OF the En-
pre Theater, confessed to the police to-
night that he, by direction of and the as
sistance of William Tibbetts ("Leonard
Scarlett'D, leading man in the Leonard
Scarlet company, twice set fire to that
playhouse. The fire department was
promptly on the scene in each instance and
the total loss was not more than 5000 or
5000. In Bevans's sworn statement he al
leges that Tibbetts promised him SIS for
his share in the job. 1t is further stated
that the object of Tibbetts was to secure
some insurance on the property, prior to his
being ousted as leading man of the stock
company, having, 1T is averred, invested
considerable money in the theater and
properties.
George w. Owens is manager of the
house. He announced to-day that the COM

apparently left town, the police having
been unable to locate him up to a late
