Story of Sojourner Truth.

,1he late Theodore TiltOn, who boast
ed that he had never had pipe, cigar
or cigarette in his mouth, used to de-
clare that the most inveterate smoker
ne ever knew was SOjourner Truth, the
famous freedwoman reformer and lee
turer. He was wont to tell how one
day, when the venerable dame, then
about 90 years old, was on a visit to
his house, she sat smoking her pipe by
the chimney corner, when George W..
Bungay, the author Of several eloquent
anti-tobacco tracts, called to see her.
Aunt Sojourner," he said, Il revere
your character, but l deplore your
smoking, for it will keep you forever
out of heaven"
''Lawkes, honey, how SOP" she asked.
Because, Aunty," he rejoined, you
know that, according to the Good Book,
nothing entereth there that detileth.
Now, how do you expect to get into
heaven with your breath defiled by to-
bacco"
'Lawles, honey" answered the old
negress, when l go to heaven 'spect
to leave my breff behind me"

Charles Sloane Says His Company Has
Not Profted .$425, 900 by Envelope
Contract in Four years.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Oct. Tin re-
gard to the report from Washington last
night that Postmaster General Meyer
has suspended the payment of all
monies due from the postoflice depart
ment to the Hartford Manufacturing

the quality of the envelope paper fur
nished the government was below the re-
quirements of the contract, General
Manager Charles Sloane of the COM
surprise to him. Mr.. Sloane said he had
no information whatever that any
charges had been brought against the
company. AS to the specific charge that
q paper of cheaper grade than the
contract required had been used, he
could deny that specifically. All the
paper used by the Hartford Manufac-
turing company comes from the Holyoke
mills of the American Writing Paper
company and the Whiting Paper COM
pany, and, he said, is of a uniform grade.
This paper is inspected by the govern
ment representatives in a general way,
but not to the extent of a chemical
analysis. 1t is charged that the COM
pany has wrongfully benefited to the ex-
tent of $4,000 during the last four
years.

alton at hand on which was based the

RULING BLOW TO SOUTH
STATES CAN NOT INDUCE IMMI-
GRANTS, SAYS BONAPARTE.
Test Case Involved -Louisiana's Paying
Passage of Laborers from Cuba
with Promise of Work.

WASHINGTON. D. Co. Oct. AT
torney General Bonaparte has rendered
an opinion in an important case involv
ing the right of state to solicit immi
grafton from a foreign country. He
holds, that in the case submitted to him,
the state violated the immigration laws
in paying the passage money of the inn
migrant and that, in this respect the
state does not differ, in law, from an
individual.
Geronimo Garcia in August arrived
at New Orleans from Cuba. He was
denied admission to the United States
Investigation developed the fact that his
passage money had been paid by Reg
inald Dykers, an agent of the Louisiana
state board of agriculture and immigra-
ton, out of funds regularly appropriated
by the Legislature. He was given as
surance that employment as: farm la
borer would be secured for him and he
promised to return to the state the money
advanced to him to pay his passage
from Havana to New Orleans. No EN-
ployer was selected for him, but he was
left free to work for whom he pleased.
1t is expected the state will carry the
case into the courts in order to obtain
judicial determination of the question
which means much, in the view OF the
authorities, to all of the states of the
south,
