LANCASTER New ERA. March 7, 1905.
Although the sales do not run up to-
big figures, the packers announce live
ly demand for tobaccos of almost every
grade. This market is pretty bare of all
kinds of home grown goods, save the
1904 crop, which can hardly be said to
be on the market so far as much of it
has not yet been cased Still, few sales
of uncased packings have been made,
and more undoubtedly will be. The ver-
dict of the trade is that the long goods
in the crop will turn out to be unusually
good, much better than the previous
year, and that is why it is passing from
hand to hand already The sales that
have been brought to our notice are Sizes
sold by Raymond A. Heiland; 80Ocs
bought by Sondheimer & Smith; l0Ocs
sold by j. w. Breneman, and 125cs sold
by Kramer & Goldberg; total, l112cs. In
the same week last year the sales were
15Ocs.
What remains of the crop in farmers
hands is being hunted up and bought.

The pictures had just shown Ire

This high Official GO the Cars
empire was attending a performance
in one OF the state theaters and was
watching cinematographic views Of
President Loubet's recent visit to the
King Of Spain. He was surrounded
by members of the Emperor's court
and several titled women as well as
many of his own staff officers. The
distinguished party was gossiping,
whispering and testing. paying but
scant attention to the pictures shown
on the canvas.
Suddenly the Spanish pictures

left the room.
Then IT was that TTepoff, who had
mp 20 that time been more interested
in his conversation with the fair
Russian women, turned toward the
canvas. for the mysterious change in
views TO pictures OF a band OF sup
posedly Russian plotters naturally
excited his curiosity. He was still
unmoved, but he was thoroughly in
terested.

In an instant the vapors We're dis

Quick as lightning the square In
front OF Governor General Trepof's
palace in St Petersburg, with mis-
own stately mansion prominent in
the foreground, replaced the den Of
the conspirators on the screen. The
front doors of the building were sud

moment fine carriage and spirited
horses drawing it drew up in front
of the governors residence.

carriage containing the supposed
Trepoff was driven before 1t. Fig
ures gathered, one man rushed out
holding an empty bomb with burn
ing fuse attached. He threw it.
Then, another scene was made by
exploding some flashing powder In
harmless quantity. The next view
was made by suspending the car
riage, its wheels being taken OF, in
the air by means Of ropes so paint
ed that they would not be seen in the
picture
The carriage was taken to pieces
and the sections hung in the air be-
fore the same background as though
they were being blown up Dis

were scattered around and portions
of dummy men were hung eonspicu-
ously in the foreground. The bomb

lures which are reproduced on this
page escaped.
1t was due to the wonderful cum
ming and skill of certain students
that the assassination of Trepoff
was produced in picture form before
his very eyes. At secret meetings
IL was decided that, while Trepoff
was a reasonable object Of hatred,
he was not really so bad and desery-
ing OF assassination as had been the
Grand Duke Sergius- He was merely
the too-willing tool of the autocracy.
He might be terribly punished and
some good might follow
To make the pictures OF the as
sassination was the nrst thing, and
then to insert them in the roll Of
films for the performance at the
theater when Trepoff should be pres

whole matter was left to a select
