LOCAL
DEALERS
affected
Sellers Of Cigars Must NJ
Longer Display Goods Except
With Covers on Boxes.

Information OF an important ruling
that will effect many cigar dealers and
druggists has been received at the local
internal revenue office.
The ruling which was made by Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue j. w.
Yerkes, sets forth that IL is illegal for
retail dealers in cigars TO display their
goods in the original boxes without the
cover OF the box in which they are re-
ceived. II has. for years been the GUS
tom of dealers to display cigars in their
boxes without the cover. as they packed
more conveniently into the show cases.
and took up just half as much space as
81 the covers we're allowed TO remain.
II is now ruled that this Is Illegal, mas
much as the stamp and internal revenue
brands are not shown and when the
whole stamp Is not shown. II is not
sufficient evidence that the revenue tax
has been paid. In making the ruling,
Commissioner Yerkes says that as the
department has never before made the
ruling In this case. dealers will only be
Informed OF the decision that they may
remedy the objection as promptly as they
can conveniently. and the commissioner
advises district collectors not to take
hasty action with such dealers, but allow
them sufficient time TO make the change
required by the department OF internal
revenue as set forth In this ruling.
The decision is an important one to
dealers who do. an extensive trade In
cigars, as they will now require twice the
show room formerly needed 10 display
their wares.

UNEARTHED
A BURIED
ROMANCE
probailng of Will Of Lata School
Principal Slows Family and
Fort.na Unknown to Friends

New York. Dec. 16-A romance buried
by the fihng for probate the will made
by Alpheus d. Dubois, who had presided
over a public school of this city as prin-
cipal for b3 years. He retired three years
ago snd died Sunday. The will aston
ished evan his most intimate friends, for
IL showed that he had amassed fortune
valued at one-quarter to half a million
dollars.
The romantic interest in the will arises
from the fact that bequest Is made TO
Professor Dubois daughter. Not even
the old schoolmasters most intimate
friends and his confldents were few, knew
he had been married and the testator,
In naming the daughter, used only her
given name because he did not know to
whom she had been married
Investigation shows that the professor
separated from his wife nearly so years
ago, She went away, taking their little
girl, and neither the husband nor his rela-
tives ever heard from them again. They
are supposed to be still alive and in this
country but whore no one knows. The
professors relatives refuse TO gve any
regarding the affair long
buried In the past but IL is said the wifi,
was member OF a well known family
here.
Professor Dubois was the son Of a min
lister. His wealth is supposed 10 have
been accumulated through shrewd invest
ment OF his savings as a teacher For
more than IL years helived in small
room preparing part OF his own meals and
declared he spent only a dollar or so daily,
while his income grew until II reached the
sum OF $4,000 n year.
