Trust Had Poor Buyers.
'oThe American Cigar company. which
is the trust" said Mr.. Whitaker, has
suffered a disadvantage during thes sea-
son by having unsl<illed buyers in the
field. These buyers have not purchased
with the skill and Judgment that have
been shown in other years. This will re-
act to the benefit of the smaller dealers
who have purchased carefully, and have

be that the trust goods will be inferior in

as compared with the previous year. This
tobacco Is used for wrappers only, and
the shortage forced the prices up con-
siderably to the manufactures. Accord
ing to this importer, the buyer who last
year bought for the succeeding year was
extremely fortunate.
THE trusts" said Mr.. Whitaker "are
using this shortage of crop, and conse-
quent increase in price as a club to force
the prices of lower grades higher. This
is giving the trusts the chance to force
their goods, made of inferior stock, onto

TOBACCO PRICES
GOING HIGHER
Increased German Demand
and Crop Shortage ReSpons-
IDLE for Higher Cost.


George A. Whitaker, q tobacco importer
Of this city. is authority for the statement
that the prices on leaf tobacco are stead
lily increasing and that as a result the
consumer will be affected by another
year. Either the quality of the tobacco
used in the standard brands Of cigars will
deteriorate. or the sizes of the cigars will
be cut down.
An increase of 20 per cent has been
noted i'm the cost of Sumatra leaf tobacco
since last season. There are two reaso. S
for this. The first is that there has been
a short crop.
The second reason for the increase in
the price of the leaf is that German
manufacturers are beginning to use Il
costlier grade IF Sumatra tobacco leaf
for wrappers. Prior to two years ago
German and other European importers
purchased only the cheaper grades of
wrappers. The crop Of the inferior goods
two years ogo vas short and the foreign
importers were forced 20 purchase the
higher grades OF Sumatra leaf for wrap
pers. Thus these grades were introduced
TO the European smokers. The demand
for these goods increased as soon as the
smokers learned the difference between
the costlier and the cheaper grades.
Until that time the Sumatra product OF
high-grade leaf tobacco was taken by the
United States trade. Since that time
Germany and Europe in general have pur-
chased largely of the higher grades with
the result that the amount of high grade
leaf imported from Sumatra has been
greatly reduced.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 20
'Alaska's capital is hereafter to be
Juneau instead of Sitka. Congress
passed a law several years ago CIV
ing permission for the removal to

made for the purpose. One of the
appropriation bills passed at the last

of $4,000 to enable the governor of
Alaska to move the government eff
fects from Sitka to Juneau. The

| With the opening of the new Presbyterian
Home, which is planned to take place dur
ing the present month or early in the new
| year, an important step forward will have
| been taken both in the progress of the de-
nomination and in charitable work in the
| District. Preliminary discussion looking to
| the establishment of such an institution was
rife in Presbyterian churches in the city
about year ago, and formal assurance
that the enterprise would be carried through
to success was given in June last when
THE Presbyterian Home of the District of
Columbia" was incorporated
At that time announcement was made that
| the incorporators would endeavor to rent a
| suitab BILE building and have it open by No
| vember 1, 1906, but results far in excess of
the hopes of those interested were accom-
plished during the summer and autumn, and
instead of renting a temporary home the
corporation, few days ago, acquired by
purchase the handsome and spacious dwell
ing at 1920 NJ street northwest. The price
paid, 1t is understood, was $15 400, and com
petent real estate men declare that the
property was 4 great bargain, because the
house cost upward of 100000 when erected.
Further than that the home will start un-
der most suspicious circumstances, with
ample funds for all INN sdiate needs and
assurances of hearty support from the Pres
byterian churches of the District. 1t will be
formally opened on New Y ears day. 49,
1t has long been realized that an insttu-
ton of some, sort in connection with the
Presbyterian churches of the District would
| be of great benefit to the denomination and
! to the public at large, and this sentiment
| was cryStallized at a series of meetings OF
| Presbyterian pastors and leading laymen
held during last winter. AT those meetings
| there was considerable discussion as to
what institution was most needed and the
determination to establish a Presbyterian
| Home was the result. In many other cities
such homes have been very successful and
| instances have been cited where old people
| of means have lived in them, preferring to
| be thus Independent rather than to live with
younger members of their families.
Determination to establish a Presby terrain
Home was soon followed by formal incor-
poration according to the laws of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. and this in turn by the
selection of board of trustees The trus-
tees, five of whom shall serve three years,

Y. M. C. A. FOR ARMY
AND NAVY BOYS

Plans are now perfected for the establish
ment of an army and navy department of
the Young Mems Christian Association in
Washington. The board of managers have
been watching with interest the experiment
of the Fort Myer branch during the past
year, and at their meeting this week re-
ceived invitations TO open other branches
al various points in the District. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed and have
consented to serve on the committee of
management of a permanent organization:
Lieut.. ]. w. Crawford, u. S. N, chairman;
I. A. Harding, Gen. George II. Harries
Lieut. Col George Robinson, chaplain, U. s.
A. retired; Chaplain II. A Brown of Fort
Myer, Fred w. Carpenter and A. E. l..
Lecke.
Arthur l.. Smith, branch secretary at
Fort Myer, has been appointed executive
secretary of the newly created department.
President Woodward and General Secretary
Hearne, as ex-officio members of the conn
mittee. have deep interest in this enlarged
werk which is now being undertaken for
the enlisted men of the District and have
done much to further the project
The Fort Myer branch of the Y. NJ. C. A
has been in operation for over a year and
has gained steadily in membership and in
nuence. Former Chaplain Pierce was a
warm friend of the work. and Chaplain
Brown is assisting Secretary Smith very
materially in enlarging the scope of the
activities.
