Jobbers Fear Tobacco Trust.

a dispatch from Philadelphia says: To-
bacco tobbers and sub-jobbers of this
city fear that the trust is about to de-
liver a decisive blow which will practically
drive them out of business A rumor in
circulation is TO the effect that the Ameri
can Tobacco Company will In n few DAYS
open a distributing house here. 1t has done
this in Boston, New York and Washington
recently.
In each city the result has been that most
of the jobbers were driven out of business
and compelled TO work for the trust as
salaried agents. Some of them did not
even obtain employment with the trust 1t
is generally conceded by the jobbers here
that such move by the trust would have
the same effect as In the other cities The
latest move of the American Tobacco Com
Jany-Compelling all sub-jobbers to handle
exclusively fts cut piug-is looked upon as
the first real step toward the establishment
of distributing house here.
Jobbers and sub-jobbers say that they
know that a net is slowly and surely being
spun about them and that business failure
probably stares them In the face but that
Notwithstanding this. they are powerless
TO resist successfully. The trust goods now
constitute between 20 and s. per cent OF the
jobbers' sales.
1t is probably the purpose of the trust. II
is believed, to establish distributing houses
in every large city in the country, thereby
saving the tobbers' profit and selling its
goods directly to the retailers through sal
aried agents. Jobbers say they are sure

past, was now SO intricately entangled in

had sat and where Alice had so sweetly
sung only twenty-four hours before. We

Half way over toward the eastward
hedgerow stood a little summer house or
arbor, and 1ngraham fancied he heard the
murmur of voices in that direction. With
the doctors cape still flung over his Shout
ders, he turned and started thither over
the soft, springy turf, his footballs making
hardly a sound.
Twenty steps brought him close to the ar

was the deep. honest voice of John Winn,
his friend and ally, that came to him,
throbbing with pain. yet, even In his sor-
row, tempered only by tenderness and pity
for the weeping girl at his side. The old,
sweet, sad story was all revealed in the
one question:
