friend insists upon the great fBaucier
trying another specially made brand.
He consumes daily about twenty-five
OF his long blacks, few Of which are
smoked at all, but merely held IN tho
mouth, and chewed about half way down.
1t is related that on one occasion his
manufacturer put Some Connecticut to-
bacco 10 the Morgan cigar, and that the
banker discovered this almost as soon as
he had taken the first Whit. The manu-
facturer explained that he did this only
to test Mr.. Morgan's ability TO Judge
from tho favor the exact grade Of the
filler.
Gates Does This, Toe.
John W. Gates is another American
multi-miiionaire, who smokes domestic
cigars exclusively. He has his private
brand. which is made by the manufac-
turer who makes the Morgan cigar Like
Mr.. Morgan, Mr. Gates has a contract
with hts manufacturer not TO permit his
private brand to ind its way into the
channels OF commerce, and, Of course, he
and Mr.. Morgan pay we'll for the priYi-
lege of having reserved their respective
brands for the exclusive enjoyment Of
themselves and friends.
Unlike Mr. Morgan, Mr.. Gates keeps ~
his home and his office the finest Hava-
mas, and other foreign grades. which he
hands out 10 friends who don't fancy his
private brand. and for these he does not
have to pay much more than for the ones
manufactured exclusively for himself.

ms statement yesterday; "As the cur

margin is left for what is asked, even
allowing a payment on account Of the ad-
vance due on the first of July next. Of

priations should be expended before July
next, the District would then owe the

THE commissioners did not approve the

scholars in the FIRST and second grades.

of age should not be kept in school all
day. but that they get all the education
their young brains ought TO have in half
days schooling. and should be playing

The commissioners also disapproved
the boards estimate to provide free text
books for INDECENT high school pupils on
/ the ground, first, that no class distinc-
ton ought to be made in our public
schools contrary 20 their essential demOc-
racy, and, second. that parents who are

Blamed For Drawbridse Wreck.

A coroner's jury after considering for
a week the evidence connected with
the wreck Of the Pennsylvania electric
train which went off drawbridge at
Atlantic City, Oct. %, causing the
death Of fifty -seven persons, brought in
verdict laying the blame on the
bridge tender, Daniel Stewart. This
was in spite of the fact that a disin-
terested engineer had testified that the
accident was due to loose rail. This
virtually convicts the railroad company
Of neglect and makes it open to attack.
The arrest Of Stewart was left to the
county prosecutor.
