This country smoked 100000 tons of
tobacco last year. We smoked 1859
337 1000 cigars, an increase Of 185,00O,-
600 over last year. The cigaret con-
sumption was 1893, 212, 1000, an increase
Of over al 100000 over last year. The
snuff output was 21,131,O00 pounds, an
increase Of nearly 100000 pounds over
the previous year. The production of
smoking and chewing tobacco was 1884,
489, 900 pounds, an increase Of 2 per
cent. These are the figures of the To-
bacco Leaf. The total value Of the to-
bacco consumption in 1900 was $685.
$1,000, cigars and cigarets costing
over 100000, 900. The increase in the
tobacco industry is shown by the fig
ures OF the last twenty years. In 1880
the value Of the total produce was, in
round numbers, SIG, OOO,000; in 1890 it
was 1896, 100000; in 1900 it was $685.
10000. Last year it was probably $780,
O0C,OOO. Last year we exported $751;
100000 worth Of tobacco and imported
$22,OOO,OOO worth in it's various forms.
This is tobacco-using nation. So
many people smoke it is not difficult to
imagine what becomes of over 7,00O,-
100000 cigars and ! over 3,0OO,000,000
cigarets, but what is done with 2l,0OO,-5
900 pounds Of snuff? Who uses it2
There is still a considerable demand for
snuff in the backwoodso districts, and
it is still used by women in the more re-
mote rural regions and mountain Sec
tions of the south, but this would ac-
count for only small part OF 2l,000,-

ECKERSALL HAS
AN ADDED DUTY
Will Try to Score Goals After
Touehdowns by Drop
Kick.

Chicago Sept. 20.-Walter Eckersall is likely
to have new and original duty to shoulder in
the games this fall. 1t Is duty in the kicking
line at which the maroon quarterback is most
profcfent-namely, of kicking goals from touch
downs. Instead of boosting the oval over the
method of adding the extra point. Eckersan will
drop-kick the pigskin over, provided Coach Stage
decides to let him add this feature to his kick
ing game.
According to the grdron rules, the drop
kick for try at goal IS legitimate proceed
ure tho until last Saturday it had never been
seen Marshall field. y Eckersall then took
and after the maroon candidates had scored their
third touchdown of the afternoon against North
Division, he sent the ball sailing over the goal
in easy fashion with a drop-kick
Since the days of Hershberger. Stage has
never been favored with reliable. consistent
goal-kicker, DESPITE his repeated attempts to
develop one. Walter Kennedy in 1899 proved
himself competent man In this department at
the blose Of the season, but early in the year
was a crude gOal-kicker. Jimmy Henry in 1900
was fair and IN 1901. 1902 and 1903 no maroon
showed above the ordinary. AS goal-kicke1
from placement Eckersan himself is com
plete failure, Stage having tried him out time
| and time again. M. =
In the art Of drcp-kicling however, ttEckie'
IS postmaster. He has proved himself the
superior of any man in the west, if not in the
eIt1re country. in this respect during his. two
years service at the Midway. For him to stani
on the fortY-yard line and register percentage
of close to 800 out of fifty attempts from all
the angles is no task. Naturally it is even cas-
! the hfteen-Eard line, where the rulings declare
that the attempt at goal should be made OF
course the kicker is allowed to move back Ms

KEEP AN EYE ON
RUDE WADDELL
Big Pitcher Is Watched Carefully

Emissary.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York. Sept 20.-Undoubtedly the condi-
ton of ''Rube'' Waddell, the big Philadelphia
pitcher and the number of games he will pitch
against the giants next month"; if the two
teams play for the worlds championship, will
affect the betting on the series more than any
other one thing. Recently a number of queries
from fans have been received. They do not know
how to figure "Rube' in the wagers that are
now being laid. The fact that he has not pitched
since he was defeated at Boston ten days ago in
th1rteen-inning game has started the runner
that Waddell will pitch no more this season.
There is not doubt that RUDE will cut d
big figure in the series. Just now he has a
sprained shoulder caused by falling over grip
in the sleeper between Boston and Philadelphia
the other night when the players Were having
their annual Nstraw-hat ''cut up
The shoulder still bothers RUDE bit, but
he is here with the team and may pitch today
or tomorrow. However, Manager Mack will
not work Waddell unless satisfied that he is
IN good shape. He, however, believes that Rube
can be relied upon to take part In the big
games. -.
Rube is more important than prima donna
with her maid. The club is carrying an extra
man who acts as "Rube's'' keeper. Frank New
