There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, 1ue cured tobaccos.

can told Barbara the whole story
of the banks dealings with Tandy
4 and explained to her his reasons
for suspecting, as Captain Hallam hao
said, that Tandy was up to mischief"
Of some kind and needed close watch
.igT. -.
,r. Perhaps he has lost money heavily"
suggested Barbara, land Is struggling
IL keep his head above water.
THAT is extremely unlikely" an
swered Duncan, particularly as his
standing at Bradstreets Is nnimpaired.
l asked Bradstreets yesterday for q
special report on him, and they gave
him four AS. That means that he has
ample capital and abundant resources
somewhere within the knowledge OF
Bradstreet's agents. l imagine that
he is going quietly into some big en-
terprise and has so far invested his
capital in 1t that he was sorely en-
barrassed for ready money when sud-
denly called upon to raise 1t. / would
give tidy little sum to find out what
be Is up to-"
But neither, Duncan nor Hallam was
destined to make that discovery as yet.
Soon after the bank matter was set
tied Tandy seemed quite at ease again
financially. He resumed his purchases
of property along the line Of the pro-
posed railway, but only along the east
ern half of ii. He bought none In
Cairo or within fifty miles Of that city.
Two months later, after Duncan's
campaign was over and the elections
had been held, he and Barbara came
back to the subject. Duncan told Bar
bara of the queer provision that Tandy
had persuaded the authorities Of two
counties to put into their bond appro-
priation and expressed his curiosity to
know the motive.
HE didn't do that thing just for fun,
Guilford." the girl said after she had
thought the matter over for twenty
four hours. HE has some interest to
serve"
"Of course. I'm very sure of that"
1--WE must find out what 1t is," said
the girl, whose apprehension was
strongly aroused.
But how, Barbara?"
81 don't know how at present, but
I'm trying to find out way. | don't
know enough about the facts as yet to
make a good guess. You must tell me
some things" -
Anything you like"
"Is there any other railroad that
might be injured by this one? Any
road, mean, that he might .be-inter-
ested in enough to make, him want this
project defeated?'
mo, certainly not. On the contrary.
he has tremendous interest In the
building of our road. or course bis In
terests here in Cairo are comparatively
small, now that he Is out Of the bank,
but, as you know. he has been buying
property very heavily along our pro-
posed line. or course when the road
is finished the>towns along the line will
grow, and property there will go up.
In view Of that he has been buying
lots, houses and business buildings at
all the places where principal stations
are likely to be located"
1t was two or three days later when
Barbara returned to the subject by
somewhat indirect route.
"Tell me about Paducah. Guilford,"
she said to him suddenly.
He laughlngly answered.:
"Paducah is thriving town In north
western Kentucky. 1t lies on the Ohio
river about fifty miles above the mouth

COGGEY AND DUNN AT WAR.
Rival Elections for the Leadership In the
Eighteenth.

To the several fights for district leader
ships which the executive and general
committees will nave to settle at the annual
meeting on December % another was added
last night. At that meeting the organiza-
ton will nave TO decide between two sets
OF leaders for the Eighteenth.
A meeting Of the general COMMITTEES OF
the district was held last night to select the
two members of the executive COMMITTEES
to represent the district. In the reappor-
tionment the old Twenty-fourth, of which
John v. Coggey was leader, and the old
Twenty-sixth district, of which Bart Dunn
was the leader, were thrown into the new
Eighteenth. In order to avoid a fight -
the primaries Charles F. Murphy ~suggesteN
that Coggey and Dunn should become he
Joint leaders with a half vote each in the
executive committee.
His suggestion was adopted, and IL was
the understanding in the district that the
arrangement should be continued. A meet
ing Of the general committee was called for
last night in the Wyandotte Club, Cog
aey's headquarters, to select two men TO
be recommended to the Tammany general
committee for executive members. Bart
Dunn and his followers marched to the
club, but when they reached there admis-
sion was denied them on the orders OF Cog
gey. They were told that the Wyandotte
Club men had already met and had named
their candidates for the executive ommit
tee, one OF the candidates being Coggey.
Thereupon B. Dunn and his men held o
meeting on the sidewalk and named as their
choice Tor the joint leadership Bart Dunn
and Patrick Burns. Dunn said last night
that he had behind him at least $50 Of the
223 members OF the district general COM
mittee. In hat event he and Burns will be
seated. because Charles +. Murphy has
made Il known that in all contests OF this
kind the candidates who have the majority
Of the votes Of the district general commit
tee will be seated. Dunn is q Murphy man;
while Coggey, who 10 Commissioners Of Cor
rection. Is an ally of Mayor Mcclellan.
The Coggey folks declared that they
had 1870 signatures to the resolution indoors
ing the Commissioners OF Correction as
leader out OF a total membership Of 223:
They said that the Dunn adherents bolted
the convention because they saw that they
were outnumbered.

The bitter feeling between the Demo

tho rossnt discharge of four foremen in
the Sewer Department by Superintendent
James Dunno, the aggressive leader Of the

were supporters of former Sewer Com
missioner James Kane, the McCarren leader
of the district. and the loss Of their 81 a

street. one of the dismissed foremen, died
tw euty-four hours after he was notified
OF his removal and his friends say that
the shock really brought on the attack OF
hastv pneumonia which killed i'm. Mr..
Dunne says that fractional politics had
nothing to do with his action in removing
Barry and the cther three fOremen. He
found that there were more employees In
the bureau than were needed and some Of
them had TO go.
The disturbed situation in the Third dis
trict was the subjec t Of an earnest talk yes

J.C c. Weschler, a lawyer OF POO Broadway.
declared yesterday that he will on Monday
send a petition TO Mayor Mcclellan for the
removal Of Tenement House Commits
sioner Butler. Mr.. Weschler has compiled
a long list OF charges. asserting among
other things that Mr.. Butler gives very
little time to the duties of his Office. that
he delegates his work to s~ubordinates, and
that he is unnecessarily sever on the
of tenemept houses.
Mr.. Butler said last night that until he
had seen the charges IL would be Impossible
for him to reply to them. But. " he added,
v can say that I'm still running the
Tenement o Department, and that l
havedelegated no powers to any one. i have
deputies In Manhattan and Brooklyn, but l
1 am the head Of the department n live
think l can easily dispose Of these charges,
IL they are laid before the Mayor. and Ishali
certainly offer a most vigorous defence

business with this department know that 1
am here from 10 O'Clock in the morning
until 5 or o O'Clock at night most days OF the
week, and when l am absent l am always

Bronx"
Al the Office of the Mayor it was said
yesterday that on on average about three
appeals a day were made for the removal
OF Mr.. Butler, In addition to the daily receipt
OF many complaints against h Commits
sioner. A majority OF these, it was said,
were anonymous. The signed communioa-
tons came mostly from owners OF tene-
ment houses on the East Side who obieeted
10 the manner in which Mr.. Butler enforced
the laws. 1t was further said that Mayor
Mcclellan regards these complaints as
evidence that Mr.. Butler lie doing efficient

That there was q difference OF opinion be-

for dismissal OF the vs1 OF error obtained
from the United States Supreme Court was
made at Patrick's request but against the

have quoted Gov. Higgins as saying that
he could not interfere in h case while
there were any legal, steps left open to
Patrick and while the writ OF error was
before the United States Supreme Court.
The dismissal Of the writ has left the way
open for the Governor TO take whatever
action may seem ft 10 him.
II was reported some time ago that Pat
rick had said he would not accept a COM
mutation OF sentence: that the Governors
action must be pardon or nothing. Mr..
Palmer said he understood that a COM
mutation Of sentence might now be asked
for. Asked II he could give the reason for
this change in Patriok's attitude MT
Probably the persuasion Of his family,
particularly of his wife,
Mr.. Palmer added that Judge Lindsay
had been employed In the case only IN OBJ
tanning the writ OF error and in the motion
for it's dismissal. Now that the writ had
been dismissed by the United States SUI
preme Court, Mr.. Palmer said he did not
know on whose legal advice Patrick was
acting

pairing the brief. This was nearly com
pleted when Patrick requested that Judge
Lindsay get the writ OF error dismissed
| This was presumably done In accordance
with the plea Of his wife. II puts the whole
matter up TO Gov. Higgins.
From a legal point OF view am frank

ment. Il leaves points Of law undecided

Gov. Higgins was at the Waldorf-Astorta
Yesterday. He declined TO say what II
any, action he would take in regard 10 par

IL was suggested TO him that Judge Lind
saws motion for dismissal had been made 20
that the Governor might have a free hand.
THE motion for q ismissal OF the writ OF

the Governors reply. Gov. Higgins said
that no new request for clemenoy for Patrick
had been made 70 him since the dismissa
OF the writ.
