 Eight years ago Irene eloped with a Japanese student at Howard uni versity. She married him at An napolis, thinking he was Tokio prince of some kind, and that she loved him. He deserted her. She followed him to Japan and discovered there that he was of humble origin, and that he had grown tired of her and of all things American. So she returned to America

 Finally Fuwa enrolled himself as a student in the law department, and thus became frequent visitor to the library. There he met Irene Flyer, and she struck his fancy at once.

LANCASTER New ERA, Aug. %, 1904.
Although a smaller amount of busi-
ness was done during the past week than
the preceding one, yet the sales foot up
a fair amount of business, distributed
among a number of packers AS is u.s.
ual, of late, the goods were of the 1901
and 1903 crops principally, although
some Connecticut, Ohio and Wisconsin
tobaccos also figured in the list. The
sales, so far as we have been informed,
we're 260cs of various years, sold by
Meiskey & Holland; 125cs of 1901 and
1908 goods sold and SECS bought by j. X.
Leaman; 130cs bought by Andrew Her
and Goes bought by B. F. Good & Co; in
all, S3Scs. For the corresponding week
of last year the sales were 2,6l9cs.
All the talk and interest of the trade
during the past week centered on the
great hailstorm of last Wednesday even
ing, the severest and most damaging
that has visited this county during our
recollection. So many reports we're
af1oat and so much was heard from the
various localities visited, that it was diff
ficult to get at anything like correct
estimate for day or two The damage
done to the tobacco crop by ignorant re-
porters was far greater than the hail
damage ITSELF "Hundreds of thousands
of dollars was common cry, and one,
more stupid than all the rest, placed it
at million, at the same time estimat-
ing the entire crop of the county at two
millions usually, when, in fact, it has not
reached that figure in many years. A
little level headed calculating should
have led to more sensible conclusions.
Only ten out of about forty townships
were touched by the hail, and even in
those ten the damage was only partial
very little in some and quite bad in
few. A drive through the storm belt,
with note book in hand, and all crops,
seventy in number, near the road exam
ined, gave this result: Worthless crops,
twenty; crops touched to greater or less
extent, but which are we'll worth har-
vesting, thirty; untouched and in good
condition, twenty. Even in those town
ships where most damage was done there
are many fields undamaged. One hun
dred Thousand dollars will pay for
great deal of damaged tobacco, and,
when that tobacco is only partially dam
aged, for good deal more.
The growing crop has been making re-
markable progress of late. There has
enough rain fallen to mature three
fourths of the still standing crop. What
is wanted now, and very much wanted,
is ten days of very hot sunshine. If we
get that we will make a good crop in
spite of the hailstorm. The plants are
free of insect damage and show up we'll
in color; but the cloudy weather is a
drawback. It is no doubt useless to
urge growers to let their crops get fully
ripe before cutting. Many are scared
and will cut too soon to avoid further
hail damage.

New YORK, Aug. "a, 1904

In point of activity this week has been
quite up to the previous one, as far as
the domestic branch is concerned. A
big contingent of out-of town buyers are
still in town, and while some are ''look-
ing around" great deal and buying but
very little, the general feeling is to lay in
stocks at prevailing prices as quickly as
possible. Buyers now seem to be fully
awake to the Broad leaf situation, and
these goods are turning over in big
blocks. Sales reported during the past
week aggregate $500 cases at prices
averaging as quoted in our last report.
Some GOO cases of 1908 Havana Seed in
various lots also changed hands, and
HOO cases of 1901 Wisconsin at IL to II
cents were sold, the latter representing
two transactions. On the whole, the
weeks results have been very satisfac-
tory.

port very good conditions, this tobacco

only passing condition, however, and a
good feeling prevails.
Havana.-There are no developments
in this market worthy of record. Busi-
ness seems to have settled into sort of
chronic quietude, and merchants have
plenty of time to study the rather gloomy
description of the new crop sent in by
their Cuban correspondents.-Leaf.
