BUSINESS IN SNUFF.
Facts and Figures Which Go to Show That There Are Many
 Buyers.

The general impression is that there has been a great decline in the use of snuff. Snuff boxes are no longer in evil dence in fashionable society. Tn the cities not one man in ,ooO takes snuff. In the country districts of the north not one man in township is addicted to the use of snuff. In the rural dis tricts of Kentucky and Tennessee less is used than before the civil war
 Yet the American Snuff company. which controls 95 per cent. of the prod- uct in the United States, reports net earnings for last year of $1, ,73e, ,617, and pays dividends of $995, ,042. After pay- ing dividends, the company, with as- sets of $25,315,0o0, has a surplus of $1, ,442,848. Thiswould indicate a heavy business in snuff, says the Chicago In- ter Ocean.
 There were manufactured in the United States in 1876 3,317, ,OO0 pounds of snuff; in 1909 thera were manufac- tured 16,soo,ooo pounds. In other words, five times as much snuff was made in this country last year as 25 years ago. Who buys it; who uses it?
 The statistics of manufacture do not answer these questions. Of the F, ,s05,- 311 pounds of snuff manufactured in the United States in the census year of 1900 New Jersey produced 4,1s2,573 pounds. Pennsylvania 3,23s,541 pounds, Tennessee 2,392, ,s27 pounds, Maryland 1,949,22s pounds, Illinois 707.s15 pounds, Virginia 64o,o75 pounds. The people of none of these states, how ever, were heavy consumers of snuff.
 Of the five kinds of snuff manufac- tured that year, the greater part of the Scotch grade went to Germany and to the whites and negroes in Louis jana, Arkansas, Texas and Indian ter ritory. Sweet snuff, used for dipping, found heaviest sale in North and South Carolina.
 Of Maccaboy snuff the largest sales were in New England, and Rappee snuff found many buyers in the North western states, though most of itwent abroad. But wherever it was sold it is certain that we are manufacturing more snuff than ever before and find- ing ready market for it.

 ''I was thinking of claret, and the gods have brought me gallons of it," added the other.
 You have only to look at the keg to know that it is cognac."
 "And you have only to smell of it to be assured that it is claret."
 "You certainly are stupid man."
 "And you are little short of a fool.''
 A minute later their language had become so abusive that they rushed forward and were engaged in lambast- ing each other when the Garter re- turned for his lost keg and bore it away.

 My friend, will you not agree with me that the keg contained cognac?"

MAD WOMAN'S CRIME
Killed Daughter and Mother and Then Fired the Home.
RUSHED INTO THE FLAMES TO DIE
Motive For Terrible Southern New York Tragedy Not Known-Dead
 Woman Had Led a Hermit Life For Years.

PENN VAN, N. Y, March 1S.-In a frenzy of mania Mrs. James Strow- bridge of Guyanoga village, five miles from here, killed her daughter, aged twenty-six years, and her mother, aged eighty years, and after setting fire to the house in which the bodies lay de iberately entered it and perished in the flames.
 Exactly when or how the two women were killed is unknown. The first inti- nation the neighbors had of the trag- edy was when Mrs. StroWbridge's home was found to be on fire, and i'm mediately afterward she was seen to set fire to another house across the street in which her daughter lived and also two barns in which there. were eighteen head of cattle and three horses. When party of men attempt ed to break open the barn to release the animals, Mrs. Strowbridge, who was standing in front of her blazing home brandishing q revolver, fired at them repeatedly. Several of the men made rush, hoping to close with the mad wo- man and disarm her, but she held them at bay with the revolver.
 While they were hesitating she sud- denly cut her throat, filled pail of water at the well, thrust quantity of hay and straw into it and, placing the whole mass on her head, rushed into the blazing house, in which her charred body and those of her daughter and mother were found after the fire had burned itself out
 The three women lived hermit life, working on the farm like men and of ten wearing mems clothing. They are supposed to have been we'll to do. Mrs. iStrowbridge is supposed to have gone suddenly mad. For several days she appeared to be acting strangely, but her method of life was such that none of the neighbors ever had any commu- nication with her. A suit recently brought against Mrs. Strowbridge for wages may have aggravated her trou- ble.
 Several years ago the husband of Mrs. Strowbridge is said to have been driven from the farm after he had made over all his property to his daughter. He never dared or cared to return to his home and is now living with a brother in Potter.
