HoNoRED THEIR MEMORY.
Maverick Hose Company Pays Annual
~ Tribute to Dead.

~ Tribute to Dead.
"a In accordance with its usual custom
almost as old as the organization it.
self, last Sunday was observed by the
Maverick Hose company as memorial
day. On the last Sunday in August
the members of the company pay trib-
ute to the memory of their departed
comrades, and with flowers, music, ora
tory and song give testimony to the
regard in which were held those OF
their brothers who have answered the
last alarm, and keep alive the recol-
lection of their many virtues and man
ly traits of character.
The request for flowers was gener-
ously answered and under the deft
manipulation of several ladies, wives
Of members, they were skillfully WOW
en- into wreaths, garlands and symbolic
devices. These were loaded onto one
of the hose wagons, appropriately
draped, and at the head of the column
that formed at the fire station, taken
to the cemetery and there placed on
the graves Of the silent sleepers.
Before the march to the graveyard
was undertaken ritualistic exercises
were held at the station. The Billings
band was present and discoursed
funereal music, and also led the
marching column that was formed at
the conclusion of the ceremonies. AT
the cemetery further exercises, also
of a ritualistic character, were con-
Quoted, and a short address was deliv-
cred by w. NJ. Johnston, an honorary
member Of the company, in which he
eulogized those to whom sorrowing
friends were paying their annual trib-
ute of love and respect.
The graves of those decorated were

Reliance Begins to Gain.
They held on n tack, e%ast-south-
east for nearly an hour. During that
time the defender worked up to wind
ward a good quarter of a mile. When
Reliance tackled Shamrock III. refused
to follow, so Barr put his craft on the
port tack again. This placed Reliance
a mile north of Shamrock III. Fifteen
minutes later the wind suddenly shift
ed to the northeast and placed the
American boat to the windward.
From that time Reliance gained stead
lily.
The yachts could head within two
points of their course. They held the
tack for 20 minutes and then made
short bitches in which Reliance stead
lily got the better of it.

defender was two miles ahead, hav-

The mark vas then in plain view and
the wind al %softening. After a long
board off shore Reliance made short
bitches, which brought her to the
turn.
Shamrock Two Miles Alec.
The ~challenger's cause was abso-
lutely hopeless, when the defender
rounded the mark. The British boat
was more than two miles alec and
coming slowly.
The time at the outer mark was Re-
lance, 3:00:37; Shamrock Ill, 1921: 90.
Reliance led by 20 minutes % c
onds, barring time allowance.
Reliance at first reached homeward
with balloon jibtopsail and then car
ried her spinnacker for a mile, only
to resort to the ballooner again. With
the wind aft of the beam, the main
sheet well in and the ballooner belly
ing, she made good time and drew
away from the challenger until the
wind softened, when the speed of both
slackened. Shamrock III. caught a
refreshing wind first and cut down
Reliance's lead half a mile before the
leader caught it.
Then Reliance steadily gained until
she had made good her two-mile lead
and added another half mile TO it. In
trying to hold the wind in their jib-
topsails both yachts had run off their
course, but at 4:3O both set spinnak-
ers and headed straight for the finish.
The wind was dying away and the
spinnakers drew poorly. Reliance
was moving not more than four miles
an hour and Shamrock was two and
a half miles astern of her when the
committe boat signalled that the race
was off.
Both Immediately took in sail and
were taken in tow for Sandy Hook.
The regatta committee of the New

that the yachts would go again to-
morrow.

tax on cigars varied from $50 TO $3.50
thousand, according to value. The organi-
cation of the Bureau of Internal Revenue
for the collection of taxes under the elabor-
ate system of excise dates from the act of
1852, and statistics of all forms of tobacco
since that time are more complete and re-
liable than formerly.
Within the last few years both the cigar
and cigarette manufacture have been revo-
lutionized by machinery. AS cigar-making
is widely diffused in the form of numerous
small establishments, in which the work is
done by hand. the utilization of modern
machinery in the manufacture of cigars is
not as general as in that OF cigarettes,
which is concentrated in large factories.
Four cities, namely: New York, Richmond,
Va, Durham. y. c., and Rochester, y. Y,
produce about 81 per cent. of all the cigar
cites manufactured in the United States and
practically all are machine made.

spoke of him to his people and afterward
published the same in his official organ.

passage:
Il warn Mr. Moody that he cannot fight
Zion with impunity.

coast. Frederick D. Bovard was
presiding elder of the San Francisco dis
trict OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
when that miserable liar, Bishop = was

Francisco these words: DIR. Dowie is a

testimonies / warned him that the

warnings. Yes, he smiled for a few weeks,

smile, for death felt for his heart strings.

The reader will notice first that the death
bed scene of Bovard is described by Dowie
in a spirit of almost fendish glee; also that
he solemnly warns Mr.. Moody that he will

now calls himself, was misled. The Bovard

1HE cultivation and use of tobacco
| are of such antiquity that authen-
- tic history does not record their
t1lNql>Na beginnings. The claims of certain
European and Asiatic countries to
an acquaintance with the plant prior to the
discovery of America by Columbus are not
supported by accepted history nor salts
factOrily demonstrated by researches of the
antiquarian or the archaeoIogist. 1t is fair
~ we'll settled that tobacco is indigenous
TO the Western hemisphere and that the
aborigines practiced it's cultivation and use
from remotest times. Europeans learned
its nature and effects from the American
savage. and spread the knowledge to the
rest OF the world.
In November. 1892, two sailors sent by
Columbus into the interior of Cuba returned
with accounts of having seen the natives
carrying frebrands and exhaling smoke
from their mouths and nostrils. Investiga-
ton revealed that the firebrands were made
from leaves of tobacco, rolled and burned
in sheath of Indian corn, and that the
smoke was inhaled for the sensations of
pleasure and exhilaration. The instrument
used for inhaling the smoke was made from
hollow cane, forked in the shape Of the let
ter Y, the small end being inserted into the
nostrils and the large end applied to the
burning leaves. The habit of snuff taking
among the natives was described first by
Roman Pane. a Franciscan. who accom-
panied Columbus on his second voyage, aud
the practice of t-bacco chewing was first
observed by SpanIards on the coast of South
America in 1902. Tobacco was consumed in
one form or another by the aborigines from
Canada to Patagonia, and especially in the
form of smoking, its use was an immemor-
ial custom.
Tobacco was first taken to Europe by
Hernandez de Toledo, who introduced it into
Spain and Portugal from San Domingo in
1859. In the same year it was introduced
into France from the Spanish Peninsula by
Jean Moot, the French ambassador to Lis
bon. 1t is said to have been used in Italy
as early at 1850. In 1885 it was carried to
England by Sir Francis Drake and his COM
panions on return voyage from Virginia,
and Sir Walter Raleigh introduced among
the Elzabethan courtiers the fashion of
pipe smoking, which spread throughout
England with great rapidity. In 1910 smok-
ing is known to have been practiced as far
east as Constantinople. Tobacco was culti-
waited in Holland in 1915, and in 1920 smok-
ing was introduced into Germany. In 1881
the use of tobacco began in Austria, where
it was carried by Swedish troops, and in
1868 it is known TO have been used in Switz-
erland. In period Of three hundred years
tobacco has circled the earth on practically
every parallel within the limitations of
civilization. 1t is known everywhere except
among few barbaric people in inaccessible
