ANGRY AT CIGAR DEAL.


The indignation Of the independent cigar
manufacturers has been aroused by the discov-
cry that the sale last week of the cigar factory
of NJ w. Mendel & Co. known as the Chan
ceIIor factory, at No. 1872 Bowery, to the Amer
lean Cigar Company (the Tobacco TrUsD was
effected by Eugene VaIIens, special agent of the
United States government in the investigation
into the methods Of the Tobacco Trust
Samuel Il. Harris, an independent cigarette
manufacturer of this city sent to Commissioner
Garfield Of the Department of Commerce and
Labor a communication, placing before him all
the circumstances connected with the sale Of
the chancellor factory and requesting that Val
lens be called upon to explain.
Eugene VaIens is one of the best known men
in the tobacco business, and became a million
aire it is said, in the manufacture Of cigars in
Chicago. About eight years ago he sold his
factory to the Havana American Cigar Com
pany, and was retained as general manager.
When the Havana American company was alb
sorbed by the trust Vallens withdrew.
One condition Of the sale of the Valens fac.
tory to the Havana American company was that
he refrained from re-entering the business and
the trust has kept him to a rigid compliance
with this agreement
Vallenss friends were at first inclined TO think
that the report current in the tobacco district
as TO his part in the Mendel deal was an effort
on the part of the trust to discredit him. At his
home in West 95th street MI Vallens said last
night:
Yes, l acted as an agent in the sale of the
Chancellor factory. NJ W. Mendel died a few
weeks ago. The affairs We're a little bit tangled
and I was called in"
Are you a special agent Of the Department
Of Commerce and Labor?" Mr.. ValIeas was
asked

A Quaint Oner of Marriage.

A quaint offer of marriage, written
more than 100 years ago, is carefully
preserved in the family of the young
wooer's descendants. 1t was address
ed not to the young woman herself, but
most respectfully and decorously to her
parents. The father of the "Betsey"
referred to had ten daughters, and as
he was a clergyman for fifty years in
q small New England town it may be
surmised that his affirmative answer
to spare his seventh" was as quickly
asserting as it was final. The wooer
was also a clergyman, and he and his
Betsey passed their entire married
lives In the same passionate, ministers
Of those days living and dying with
their f1ocks. Here is the lovers plea:
Both reverend sir and worthy madam,
Soft wedlock's bands first was talked In

When happy man in Eden dwelt alone
The smiling Coda spouse did form Of
bone,
That friendship might their joyful souls
inspire
And knit their hearts in seraphic fire.
With wedlock chain wish myself to bind
II from your lips the answer should prove
kind.
